Chapter 608: Hunting Monster Fish (Part I)
At this time, Wu Meiniang thought of this, and carefully recalled the situation of the river around her at that time, it didn't matter if she thought about it, but after thinking about it, Wu Meiniang was also in a cold sweat.
At that time, it seemed that the Yellow River near her was very uncalm, and the river channel was strange and abnormal. At this time, when I think about it, the surface of the river near me seems to be rolling, and the surface of the water is turbid, so I can't see the water, but the water is not normal, and there seem to be countless things moving underwater.
At this time, she was in a cold sweat, even Wu Meiniang was a little afraid.
"How do you verify, colt?"
"Just like that day, you need to be close to the Yellow River, and the minister will be fully prepared to ensure the safety of the mother, and the mother can rest assured that she only needs to be three zhang away from the riverbank, and she doesn't need to be close to the riverbank."
Wu Meiniang can also understand the grim situation at this time, if that kind of strange fish is coming at her, then the consequences will be extremely terrible, because the Grand Canal has opened up several water systems, this strange fish can swim into the Huai River, the Yangtze River, the Qiantang River, and even swim into Weishui and Jingshui, and even the lakes along the river have become extremely unsafe.
Wu Meiniang nodded, at this time, she must first verify whether this strange fish is coming at her, if so, she will have to pay more attention to Jiangnan in the future.
"Niangniang, you put on this fish scale armor first, just in case."
Chen Fang was still carrying the cloth bag in his hand, and in the cloth bag was the fish scale armor that Dingyu had tailored for Wu Meiniang, the real fish scale armor, not only because the armor was like fish scales.
At this time, in the dormitory, Taiping had already combed his hair and came out, and the maid took it to find a few princesses and princes.
Chen Fang and Wu Meiniang entered the dormitory, and Chen Fang took out the fish scale armor. This fish scale armor is made a bit like a small women's waistcoat, with a section of sleeves, which should be said to look like a short-sleeved shirt.
Since the scales were so hard that they could not be drilled, the scales were set on a piece of gold silk armor in the same way as the scales were arranged on the body of a strange fish.
This fish scale armor was taken out, Chen Fang tried the weight with his hands, and the weight was okay, because there was also a layer of gold silk soft armor, so this fish scale armor still had some weight, but in order to protect Wu Meiniang, this fish scale armor must be worn at this time.
There is also a crotch armor made by Dingyu for himself in the cloth bag, Chen Fang also took it out at this time, this crotch armor can be worn by both men and women, there is no men's and women's models, Wu Meiniang's crotch is similar to herself, let Wu Meiniang wear it at this time.
Wu Meiniang saw the two armor coats in Chen Fang's hand, and at this time took off the coat on her body and the down jacket of the Tang Workshop inside, and only wore a profane garment, wearing the fish scale armor and crotch armor outside the profane clothes.
Wu Meiniang put it on, Chen Fang looked at it, it fit very well, this inner armor built according to the line of Niangniang's figure is really good.
"What do you think?"
Wu Meiniang nodded, at this time, Chen Fang waited for the Tang Workshop down jacket and coat, Chen Fang let Niangniang move, and it did not affect the normal walking action, Chen Fang was relieved.
The two of them waited in the palace for a while, and Dingyu came here and told Chen Fang that the fresh fish and spirits were ready, and the local officials also requisitioned many fishing boats for backup.
This time it was to verify whether those strange fish were led to that section of the river because of Niangniang, so they didn't bring the white deer and the white fox, and they didn't let a few princesses and princes follow.
Chen Fang called Feng Yi, arranged Feng Wei and the forbidden army to escort him, and went out of Luoyang Palace, and the local officials in Luoyang also requisitioned a large number of strong men with good water properties to follow.
The group came to the Yellow River, and at this time, there was significantly less ice floe in the Yellow River than in previous days, and some moist soil was exposed on the banks of the Yellow River.
Chen Fang let the carriage slow down and stopped ten zhang away from the edge of the river.
When everyone got out of the car, Chen Fang was already holding his Tang knife, just in case.
At this time, I took Wu Meiniang's hand and walked to the three-zhang position on the bank of the Yellow River, and I couldn't go any further, and the strange fish rushing ashore might hurt my mother.
A large number of spearmen and crossbowmen and sword and shield bearers have been arranged on the banks of the Yellow River, and these things can easily hurt the strange fish, but they can resist one or two.
The monster fish is terrifying in defense, but not too terrifying in power.
In front of Wu Meiniang, at this time, Chen Fang also arranged a few fishing nets and rope nets, and Niangniang's safety came first.
At this time, Wu Meiniang was standing behind the fishing net, and Ding Yu and Feng Yi had already gone to check the changes in the river level near the Yellow River. And a large number of guards have prepared the liquor and fresh fish, so that the strange fish will not be in a hurry.
More of the strong men were placed on requisitioned fishing boats so that if the strange fish were really drunk, they could catch fish.
Last time, there was no preparation, this time it was well prepared, all aspects were considered, and the manpower and material resources used were even larger, just the number of people, and at this time there were nearly 10,000 people concentrated along the Yellow River.
Chen Fang actually hoped that the strange fish would not appear, because this was a matter of Wu Meiniang's safety.
However, after standing on the riverbank for half an hour, Chen Fang saw that Dingyu's face had changed on the riverbank.
Feng Yi over there didn't know the situation, so his face was as usual, but he was a little nervous when he saw the abnormal ripples on the river.
Chen Fang looked at Dingyu and looked at him, and his heart sank a little.
Sure enough, this strange fish is coming for Niangniang, it seems that I will accompany Niangniang in the future, so I have to be extra careful.
In the future, as long as it is a waterway connected with the Yellow River, Wu Meiniang will stay away.
"Master, these strange fish are here, what should I do now?"
"Feed the fresh fish!"
Chen Fang gave an order, and the soldiers who had been prepared on the shore threw baskets of fresh fish into the river.
At this time, Chen Fang, who was with Wu Meiniang, saw the river rolling, the waves splashing, and a huge blood basin mouth that was difficult to count appeared on the river surface for a while, and the fresh fish that were fed were swallowed up by this huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and the river was suddenly like boiling water.
"Pour the wine!"
A jar of liquor is poured into the river, and these spirits will cause the water on the riverbank to increase its alcohol content for a while, but since the Yellow River is a living water, the water containing a lot of alcohol will rush downstream in a few minutes at most.
These liquors are obviously coveted by these strange fish, even more so than fresh fish.
As the liquor was poured, the river was even more violent, and everyone saw that the group of strange fish was swimming downstream along the river, which was due to the flow of liquor downstream.
However, the fish were gone, but the river gradually calmed down. Chen Dafang was a little disappointed, but it was more because of his mother's worries.
At this time, the reason for attracting the monster was clear, but Chen Fang hoped that it was wrong.
"Master, look!"
Chen Fang was thinking, and suddenly Dingyu called him over there, and Chen Fang followed the direction that Dingyu pointed. Seeing that on the surface of the Yellow River, fifty or sixty meters downstream at this time, strange fish surfaced one after another at this time, lying on the surface of the river.
The strange fish were drunk, and the spirits worked.
A large number of fishing boats have already begun to move at this time, and the strong men are rocking, and the fishing boats are chasing the strange fish that have surfaced.
