Chapter 306: Midnight in the Arakawa

Xiahou Yingzhi was taking the opportunity to peek into the location of his phoenix tail gang's lair, and he had no other intentions, how could he not comply. I didn't have any certainty, and this area, Hong Kong is full of forks, and I am not familiar with the path, Hou Qi's statement is exactly what he wants, and he hurriedly replied: "Brother, although I am a nobody in Fire Ape Castle, but in order to abide by the rules of our Fire Ape Castle, no matter how tricky it is, it must have a beginning and an end." If you can't rescue your friends from the net, you are willing to be caught together, and there will never be half a complaint, don't worry!"

Hou Qi nodded and said, "Okay!" We crossed this small ditch, and ran southeast from the crop fields, there are two small villagers with the name of Shuangjing, go there to see Jiangwanzi, if there is a boat under my rudder, we can escape from his grasp." Our ship was not necessarily there, but without our boat, we could only turn due east from the double well, go around the harbor of Sanlidi, cross the reed pond, and be half a mile from the mouth of the river, and the place was called Qinglong Bridge, where there were patrol ships under my rudder. As soon as we arrive at the Qinglong Bridge, we will be caught up by him again, and we can also maneuver with him on the water. ”

As soon as Xiahou Ying heard what he was calling, he walked back down, so that he would be farther and farther away from the two places of the Dividing Water Pass and the Twelve Consecutive Docks, and even the place where he would gather with the castle lord would be contrary.

Xiahou Ying hesitated for a moment, and Hou Qi hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Brother, dare there be another place to escape?"

Xiahou Ying had already seen that Hou Qi, the helmsman of the river patrol, was very shrewd and capable, and he was a little clumsy in his response, so he would definitely let him see that it was the city's favor that was coercing, but he would turn his face into an enemy. Now although they are angry with each other, but as soon as they show their feet, maybe they will still work together against themselves, thinking of this, he hurriedly replied: "Brother, I am relieved of what I said, if there can be a brother from your department to answer, it is better to go straight to the double well, and talk about it there!"

The two of them got up from the sparse forest and went southeast. This time, Xiahou Ying failed to investigate, but fell into the snare of gangsters. This is the difficulty of painting dragons and tigers, and knowing people and faces but not hearts.

In this kind of late night, walking in this wild field, there is only the sound of the night wind blowing the branches and green trees, and there is no other sound. It was far away from the bandits' lair, and from time to time he looked back to see if there were any people chasing him on the way he came. After inspecting it a few times in a row, there was no other sign, and Xiahou Ying put his heart down.

There are no villages in this area, but there are one or two covered grass beds, and the two of them avoid them from afar. Xia Houying gradually teased Hou Qi with words, asking him about insignificant things in the Phoenix Tail Gang. Who knew that this river patrol helmsman Hou Qi was very old and spicy, as long as Xiahou Ying mentioned it, he immediately diverted his words.

Xia Houying was very unhappy, and thought: "No matter what, I finally have the grace to save you from danger." I also tell you that I am a disciple of the Fire Ape Castle, and I will soon go to the meeting with the castle master. It's clear and clear, and there is no secret and strength in the secret agent gang, why is it so cunning to show the boundary!" I knew that it was not easy to find the slightest news from his mouth, so I didn't ask anymore.

At this time, Hou Qi's injury was dressed by Xia Houying, and the pain stopped slightly. But no matter how strong Hou Qi struggled without showing weakness, this right leg could not help him, and he walked quickly, and he was already sweating. Without Xiahou Ying fighting, I really can't support it.

Rushed to the vicinity of these two wells to see, a river leading to the mainland, quiet, don't say that there are no river patrol boats of the Fengwei Gang, not even a small fishing boat. Hou Qi, the helmsman of the river patrol, sighed, sat down on the land next to the river embankment and gasped for a long time, looked up at the stars in the sky, and it was about less than five watches.

Xia Houying was really worried about him at this time, if he was really caught up by Luo Bandits, he would not be spared, so he said to Hou Qi: "Brother, why are you in a hurry? also relied on the old brother to think carefully and attack the west, so he hid the old man. There is no Guirudder here, or rush to the Qinglong Bridge, the sky is not yet bright, so no one will bump into it. ”

Hou Qi rested for a moment and got up again. I don't know that I walked away with my breath at first, and the wound was covered with the medicine of the Fire Ape Castle, and it didn't show anything. Now that this rest, the blood veins have eased, and although the injury is not in severe pain, the tendons are becoming more and more weak. Barely struggling to walk, the place he passed, there were many forks in the port, the road was blocked, and the light gong longitudinal technique could not be used at all. Although it is three miles from the land, this circumambulation is five or six miles.

Although Xia Houying supported him all the way, he also walked a sweat. Bypassing a harbor, the sound of water in front of me is agitated, and it is already the mouth of the river. Here there is an extremely long harbor, more than ten zhang wide, a long bridge, built on the water half a mile away from the mouth of the river. After crossing the Qinglong Bridge, there is a village Zhendian, which is the place where the first sentry ship under the jurisdiction of Hou Qi, the helmsman of the river patrol, is stationed.

Xiahou Ying followed him to the Qinglong Bridge, only to see that this long bridge was horizontally erected on the water, although it was so long, the construction was quite ingenious, only four bridges were empty, and the river below came in, the water was quite fast, and the bridge body did not move at all. If it weren't for this long bridge, the trip would have to go around more than three miles.

The two crossed the Qinglong Bridge and walked along the port fork to the river. There was still a stone's throw from the river, and I saw a windboat moored on the dark water, and a red lantern hung on the left side of the bow, and there was no one on the boat. Hou Qi, the helmsman of the river patrol, suddenly took out something from his pocket, and with a "buzz" sound, two strong men immediately jumped out of the cabin. Because the night was too dark to discern his appearance, the bow of the ship asked, "Which brother?

Hou Qi replied: "The one who holds the flag of the stars and the sun and the horse, come to inspect the ship and the water." ”

The two people on the boat immediately "roared" in response, and one of them leaned into the cabin and beckoned: "Take the helmsman." Then three or four strong men came out of the cabin, and with two lanterns in their hands, they all walked to the shore and bowed to greet them.

The lantern-bearer saw in the shadow of the lamp that there was still a living man beside the helmsman, and the helmsman was pale, and the strong men were all a little surprised, but they didn't dare to ask casually. When he saw the helmsman walking towards the boat, he saw that he seemed to be wounded, and he was with him on the side, and he got into the boat, and went into the cabin.

Xiahou Ying saw that the ship was quite tidy, Hou Qi sat diagonally on the wooden kang, and Xiahou Ying sat opposite, at this time, all the strong men on the ship walked into the cabin, and they all had to bow one by one.

Hou Qi waved his hand to the strong men and said, "Why isn't Zhang Jinxiang here?"

A strong man in the middle replied: "Around the third watch, there is a speedboat, quite similar to the explosive Sun Haotian, and the speedboat of the leader Zhang is following down." ”

Hou Qi said: "I have something urgent, I want to rush back to the helm, you hurry up and raise the anchor without delay." ”

Because the leader of the ship did not return, the strong men hesitated to ask for instructions, Hou Qi frowned and said: "Won't I return to the helm, do you still need me to wait?"

The strong men immediately exited the cabin and followed the anchor to start the ship.

Hou Qi seemed to be tired, but he just supported himself. After the sailors brought in the tea, Hou Qi said to Xia Houying: "My brother has been helped by the strange way to help me get out of the tiger's mouth, I shouldn't be tired anymore, brother, along the way, my brother worked tirelessly, supported and carried, and finally came to the ship, which makes me very grateful." Although he didn't dare to say the word repayment, he just let the younger brother leave, and the younger brother was at ease? I would like to invite the elder brother to the junior brother's garrison to discuss each other's affairs a little, and also show a little bit of heart. I only ask my brother not to mention the matter of Fire Ape Castle, so as not to make the younger brother fall into the name of revenge. And this trip is not sure that Luo Xin Lao'er will be willing, in that way, especially to borrow a lot of strength. I'm a bit of a slow man, and you'll be able to forgive me!"

When Xia Houying heard this, he immediately replied angrily: "Where did the brother come from, although we are different factions, as soon as I see the brother, I know that we are friends with all sincerity. With me, a nobody, Brother Cheng thinks so highly of me, how can I mind if I work a little hard. I have a lot of heart for the helmsman of the Guigang Altar, but I don't dare to take the liberty of asking, I'm afraid that my brother will be suspicious and think that our city is threatening. Now, with my personal friendship, I am very fortunate to be close to the forbidden place of the Lord of your Gang. But I smell that your gang has strict rules, can you take me there?"

At this time, a slight smile appeared on Hou Qi's face, and he replied: "If you want to talk about our gang rules, don't talk about outsiders, even the brothers of this gang, they are not stationed at the main altar, and they don't want to fly one step beyond the main altar." It's just that my brother is kind to me, and my brother should not take a step out of the cabin when he arrives, and he will never be inspected, but he can only enter the entrance of the twelve chain docks, and he will not be able to go inside. I will go to the main altar, and after knocking on the master, as soon as the matter between me and Luo Xin Lao'er is finished, I will immediately return to the boat, and then bring you out, brother. Dude, be very cautious, if it leaks, even I will be killed. ”

Xia Houying was overjoyed when she heard this, but she didn't dare to have a little look on her face, and hurriedly thanked her: "The elder brother is so loving, the younger brother should be cautious, respect the elder brother's instructions in everything, and never make a mistake." My brother's scars have not healed, and he has walked such a long way, so you can rest and rest casually!"

Hou Qi said: "I can still support it. ”

At this time, the ship was in a hurry, Hou Qi looked at the hatch, and slowly walked out of the cabin. Xia Houying felt that the boat leaned slightly to the right, and then she heard someone whispering in the back cabin, and there was an accent in it that was quite similar to Hou Qi, and she didn't mind. After a while, Hou Qi walked into the cabin, Xia Houying also wanted to take a look outside the cabin, and just walked out, but Hou Qi said with a smile: "What are you going to do, brother? It's very stormy outside, and it's dark and abnormal, and you can't see anything." Brother, please take a seat, I have prepared a little water and wine, and my brother will drink two glasses to relieve his fatigue a little. ”

Xia Houying's mind had been said by Hou Qi, and it was inconvenient to say anything else for a while, so he had to humbly thank: "Brother, don't bother, I don't feel tired, but my brother is scarred, don't support yourself, please rest casually!"

At that time, Hou Qi, the helmsman of the river patrol, immediately ordered the sailors to bring wine and food, although there were only four kinds of cold meat, but they were very clean. Xiahou Ying asked Hou Qi to let in, but it was not easy to be sad. At this time, I also felt a little hungry in my belly, so I gave in a little.

Because Hou Qi had a rod wound and couldn't drink, Xia Houying drank it by herself. After only two drinks, I suddenly felt a shock to the hull of the ship, as if someone had fallen into the boat. Xiahou Ying didn't pay much attention to it, the river patrol helmsman Hou Qi was resting half lying and half sitting opposite him, this sound, he immediately felt that someone had fallen on the boat, and he hurriedly raised himself to the hatch and looked out. I saw two sailors in the bow of the ship, one of the rudder, and all three of them were engrossed in the water on the ship, and no one would invade the ship. It's just that his own ears are the strongest, and he will never hear them wrong. Because Xiahou Ying is in the cabin, it is inconvenient to speak at will. When he went to the surface of the ship again, he quietly inspected it, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he still turned back into the cabin. I just fell to the cabin, and suddenly there was a voice outside: "Save people!"

The voice was very high-pitched, but only the shouting was heard.
