Chapter 18: The Night Star is as cold as water

Since the purpose is the same, the next thing will be easy to do, Xu You is not completely relieved of Deng Tao's doubts, but here and now, he has to rely on him to deal with the assassins, and he has no long things, as the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, nor are they afraid of any conspiracy of the other party.

Xu You changed his title and said, "Brother Deng, Feiyao may be more difficult to deal with than killing Yueyao, if you want to reach Jinling safely, you can no longer hide your strength from now on." Isn't this too difficult? ”

Why did Deng Tao hide in the Yuan Mansion as a hundred generals, there must be a great reason for this, and Xu You's arrangement is likely to affect his schemes, so there is this question.

"Good!" Deng Tao responded happily, without any pretentiousness, and said: "Then let me understand the spear and arrow that makes people talk about it!" ”

Xu You applauded: "There is no wine here, otherwise you will rush to this pride, and you should be a big white!" ”

At this moment, Zuo Yan came in from outside and reported that everything was in order, and the three carefully selected people had already driven Lu Hua to the front to investigate. Xu You and Deng Taoquan thought that the conversation just now had not happened, and returned to their usual appearance, and the three of them repeatedly calculated the time, place and method of the possible occurrence of Fei Yao and Dark Yao in the cabin, and formulated corresponding coping strategies. During this period, Xu You was meticulous in everything, and he was often able to find the weaknesses and deficiencies of his strategy before the two of them, and his thoughtfulness was amazing.

After another hour, the sky was not beautiful, first it rained sporadically, and then in a moment, the raindrops became fast and urgent, and the continuous rain line hit the river, as if countless fish and shrimp were rolling, adding a bit of vivid interest to the night.

"Report!"

There was a sound of people outside the cabin, Zuo Yan immediately rushed over, opened the hatch, and the rain swept in with the river wind, almost instantly, Zuo Yan's armor was wet.

"Speak!"

"Fifteen miles ahead, I found a light boat, nine feet high, carrying a spear, and it was going down the river, and it is estimated that it will meet me in a quarter of an hour!"

Xu You and Deng Tao in the cabin also stood up at the same time, feeling the noise of the wind and rain, and glanced at each other.

Feiyao, it's finally here!

"He's the only one on the boat?"

"Yes, Qian Tong dived underwater, and when the light ship approached, he watched carefully, and there was indeed only one person."

"How do you estimate two quarters of an hour?"

"After receiving the signal from Qian Tong, Zhao Zheng and I returned first, and there was still a mile away from the light vessel. The boat is fast, the boat is slow, and the skill of the boat is relatively unfamiliar, and he is not familiar with the water conditions along the river, coupled with the heavy rain obstruction, it is roughly estimated that it will take two quarters of an hour at the fastest to meet our boat head-on. ”

Seeing Xu You's expression of listening carefully, Deng Tao said in a low voice: "This person's name is Li Cai, he is a military commander, and his martial arts are not very good, but he is very clever and transparent. Qian Tong, who went with him, was unmatched in water, and as for Zhao Zheng, he could see hundreds of steps at night. ”

No wonder Zuo Yan chose such three people to carry out the task, which can be called knowing people and making good use of them. Xu You walked over and asked, "Your name is Li Cai?" ”

Li Cai is thin and small, with a delicate appearance, especially a pair of eyes, dripping and turning, revealing a little agility, hearing Xu You's voice, he hurriedly lowered his waist and said respectfully: "It is the name of the subordinate!" ”

"I ask you, what is the speed of our ship? What is the speed of a light ship? What is the speed of water? "The meeting of the two boats is a classic math problem, Xu You doesn't know how many times he has done it since junior high school, but he doesn't know the speed of the boat at this time, so he asked Li Cai.

At this time, there was no scientific way to measure speed, and it was all estimated by experienced sailors, and it was not until the 16th century that speed measurement with knots appeared, but in general, the more experienced sailors were, the smaller the error. Li Cai quickly reported a few numbers, Xu You came up with the answer in the blink of an eye, his eyes changed slightly, and shouted: "Bai General, go to the second deck immediately and act according to the plan." Wait, come with me, we have a quarter of an hour left at most, and it's almost too late! ”

A quarter of an hour?

Zuo Yan and Deng Tao looked at each other, Li Cai also looked up in amazement, Xu You didn't have time to explain, let alone can't explain, do you want to tell them what is X, Y, what is an equation? "This is my Xu's secret method of timekeeping, there will be no mistakes, don't hesitate!"

Although the Xu clan has been wiped out, after all, it was once a high-ranking family, and if there is any secret method, others cannot be allowed to believe it. Deng Tao arched his hand and immediately led people to the second floor to set up defenses. Zuo Yan chased after Xu You and went to a cabin on the other side.

Li Cai waited for the three of them to leave before he got up from the ground, he was confident that the result he calculated might not be so accurate, but it was impossible to be a full quarter of an hour behind Xu You, but he was in a humble position and didn't dare to say much, but he was not necessarily convinced in his heart.

The wind and rain are more urgent!

More than a dozen dead wind lamps were raised, illuminating the middle and bow of the ship as if it were daylight, except for the mast further behind, which was a little dark, and it was not very accurate to see.

"Quick, the first team will guard the north side, the second team and the third team will protect the two wings, and the fourth team will not come up, retreat to the ...... under the mast."

"Stand up your shield! Don't mess around, the first four and the last three, stand up and stand the shield! ”

"Five people in a row, surrounded by a glaive. Remember, the waist is down, the soles of the feet are separated from the front and back, the hands are clenched, the shoulders are against the shield, and the brothers around you are close to each other, and there are no gaps. ”

"The guns are steady, set up, set up! Fuck, who pointed the gun at the back of the head of the shield man in front of him? Diagonal fingers, oblique fingers know? You fools! ”

With Deng Tao's order, all troops, swordsmen, shield soldiers, and spearmen arranged their formations layer by layer according to the formulated plan, from the bow to the rear mast, the endless sergeants, the dense swords and guns, and the seemingly simple but mysterious formation, turning this not small space into a hell full of murderous machines.

And above the mast, two people hang!

To be precise, there were two corpses hanging, one was a killer with a broken arm, and the other was a moon boy wrapped in a red canopy, both of them had loose hair, their heads were hanging down, and their hands and waists were tied with thick ropes.

A quarter of an hour, never so short, but never so long!

The raindrops the size of beans fell vertically from the Nine Heavens, hitting the foreheads, cheeks and bodies of the Yuan clan, their eyes widened, the people in front looked straight at the black river in the distance, and the people in the back could only look at the figures of their comrades in front, but no matter what, as long as they raised their heads, they could see Deng Taowei's body, and they suddenly felt at ease!

Deng Tao stood alone at the front of the bow of the boat, carrying a lance on his shoulders with one hand, his hands hanging down on his legs, not moving, like a mountain!

"One mile ahead, there's a boat!" Zhao Zheng on the lookout suddenly shouted!

Brush!

But everyone clenched the knife and gun at the same time, and the sound of the knife body and the sound of the gun body trembling slightly converged together, turning into a "brush" sound!

"Four hundred steps, it's a light ship!"

"Three hundred steps, someone, nine feet tall, carrying a spear!"

"Two Hundred Steps......

"One hundred steps!"

As soon as Zhao Zheng's voice fell, a light ship appeared in front of everyone's eyes from the darkness, and a tall giant man stood at the stern of the boat, and the wooden oar in his hand slammed into the water behind him, and the speed of the light ship suddenly accelerated several times.

Thirty steps!

The giant man is nine feet tall, with five spears stuck in his back, his eyes are as big as copper bells, his face is full of meat, and a finger-wide scar is slashed obliquely from the right eyebrow bone to the left lip, and the lip flesh is turned open, winding and undulating, looking very hideous and terrifying.

Looking at the murderous big ship in front of him, he smiled coldly, and with all his strength, the light bow of the boat suddenly cocked, and the stern of the boat was almost immersed in the water, and then like an arrow off the string, it flew obliquely in the air and crashed into the bow of the big ship.

The ten people standing behind Deng Tao were the most brave and warlike warriors in the Yuan Mansion, and when they were killed in the bloody battle during the day, they rushed to the front, but all of them survived, and their combat power was obvious. But when he saw the scene in front of him, he was almost broken, and he didn't know how to stop the heavy shield in his hand.

"Who's coming?"

Deng Tao exhaled and opened his voice, and his originally soft voice became extremely majestic at this moment, like a cracked gold stone, which spread far away in the dark night, and the echo could be faintly heard: coming...... Who...... Who!

The flying light ship seemed to slow down in the air, but this was only a blink of an eye, except for Deng Tao, no one could detect it, and in their eyes, the light ship was still rushing rapidly.

The giant man didn't respond!

Deng Tao stretched out his right hand to the empty place on his side, and the one-handed lance on his shoulder came to his hand as if it were magical, and then he slammed his feet, his body rose in the air, and changed from one hand to two hands in the air, firmly holding the tuomu pole, without a trace of fancy moves, the head of the gun crossed an arc, and swept to the third of the side of the light bow with a magnificent momentum that could not be returned.

Deng Tao, who has always faced the enemy with one hand, used his hands as soon as they met!

The giant man turned a blind eye, and the true qi once again traveled to the heart, and with the skill of his control of the true qi, he could completely make the light qi make a subtle extreme jump up five inches, not only to avoid the attack of the one-handed lance, but also to send himself above the body of the person who made the lance.

And at that moment, it was the perfect time to make the lance's offensive from the apex to decline, and this person's mind also changed slightly because of the miscalculation of this move, his breath and fighting spirit were all affected, and he was at the peak of his high-spirited state.

The winner is decided!

The light ship suddenly trembled, and the boat body jumped upwards at a speed invisible to the naked eye, Deng Tao let out a long laugh and said, "Feiyao, you have been tricked!" ”

The momentum that had just been indomitable disappeared suddenly, and the one-handed lance did not stagnate in the slightest, and it rose up like lightning, impartially, and hit the side of the light ship in the third of the way, as if it was waiting there early, waiting for the light ship to be sent to the door.

Syllable!

This light ship was originally an ordinary cargo that Fei Yao snatched at the ferry in order to come as quickly as possible, the lowest-grade willow wood used for the wooden plank, the wood was loose, and it had been hit at the junction of the plank for a long time, how to resist Deng Tao's heavy blow, and it was suddenly shattered.

The giant man frowned, knowing that this person was just bluffing when he made a move before, but in fact, he didn't do his best, allowing himself to misjudge his cultivation, so he wanted to lure him into the urn with a light move, and then kill the enemy with one move. Unexpectedly, he planned it, not only ruined the light ship, but also took the lead!

The one-handed lance passed through the side panel, and between the flying sawdust, it seemed to have eyes, silently stabbing at the flying dantian!

Fei Yao was not startled, but he no longer held it up, and his toes touched a wooden plank that happened to pass under him, and his sturdy body of nine feet tall rose three feet high, like a feather, swaying from side to side with the strong wind brought by the one-handed lance, and he could avoid this thorn. Then he fell down again, as if running on flat ground, his feet connected two times on the straight and horizontal extension of the wooden pole, his body flew out in parallel, and his five fingers became claws, grabbing Deng Tao's neck!

It was also at this time that Deng Tao understood why this giant who was five big and three thick, and who couldn't be stronger anymore, was called "Feiyao"!

Now he is simply an eagle, and the air is his territory.

It's not that there are no people who can practice light skills to this point, and they may practice light skills to become such a giant, Deng Tao is really the first time I've seen it!

Deng Tao saw that he was about to die under the eagle's claws, and his body fell backwards violently, and at the same time his feet flew up and kicked the head of the spear with one hand. The flexibility of the Tuomu pole was vividly displayed at this critical juncture, and with the foot infused with true qi, it hooked up and back, whipping towards the back of Feixiao's head.

There was anger in Fei Yao's eyes, and he didn't seem to expect this opponent to be so difficult, so he didn't see how to move, and a spear suddenly flew out from his back and headed towards the head of the spear.

With a bang, the one-handed lance returned to its original state with a shock, and the spear was also bounced back by this impact, and Fei Yao turned around to catch it, but it also allowed Deng Tao to escape from under his claws.

From the time Deng Tao pounced on the bow of the boat, in just a few breaths, the two of them had already made three moves, but they each walked back and forth in front of the ghost gate, and the danger can be imagined.

"Okay, take me another trick 'Night Star Cold'! “

Deng Tao was not afraid of escaping death just now, and once again held the tuomu pole with both hands, and the head of the gun lit up with tens of millions of silver lights, overwhelmingly attacking the flying away. Fei Yao's expression was cold, his body retreated in the air, and the spear in his hand shot out, just before tens of millions of points of silver light converged into a point, breaking through the layers of gun shadows, and accurately hitting the junction between the gun head and the tuomu rod.

The silver light dissipated, and Deng Tao was knocked three feet away by the force of this blow, and one turned over, landing firmly on the bow of the boat.

Fei Yao had nowhere to borrow, so he had to fall into the water helplessly, the river was cold and biting, but he didn't realize it.

"Who are you? If you can take my spear, you must not be a nobody! ”

Deng Tao leaned forward, looked at Feiyao, who was more than ten meters away, and said, "Feiyao, you are wrong, I am just a small hundred generals in the Yuan Mansion, a real nameless!" ”

He is further attacking Feiyao's confidence, think about it, if he can't even beat a hundred generals in the Yuan Mansion, what face will he have to walk the world?
