Chapter 20: Qu Hao is attacked
After Qu Hao walked out of Wu Rong's house, he felt that it was still early, and began to set off towards the car parking place on horseback.
Qu Hao has been specially trained to rely on reference objects to memorize routes, although the mobile phone is still in the waterproof backpack sunk at the bottom of the river, and the route pictures taken cannot be seen, but he can find the car with memory confidence.
After walking for a while, I saw a soldier setting up a card in front of me from a distance, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. So he jumped off his horse, pretended to be on the side of the road, and waited for an old farmer who came from that side.
After the old farmer approached, Qu Hao asked, "Uncle Jixiang, what's going on ahead?" ”
The old farmer replied: "Just now someone reported to the official, saying that he saw a spy riding a strange horse with two wheels passing by, and he was checking on outsiders in front. ”
"Oh, that's right, I've heard of spies too, but I didn't expect it to really appear today." Qu Hao was secretly a little surprised while talking to the old farmer, these ancients were also very efficient.
It seemed that he couldn't go today, so Qu Hao had to pretend to be very familiar with the old farmer, and led the horse back while chatting.
Qu Hao quickly thought of countermeasures as he walked, it was no longer safe here, and it was difficult to get rid of it when encountering an interrogation.
Thinking that when he left the farmhouse where he was staying in the morning, he had told his master about buying a horse, and Qu Hao decided to send the horse there first.
After saying goodbye to the old farmer, Qu Hao rode back to the farmer's house where he was staying, entrusted the horse to the farmer's family to raise, and then walked towards the river.
Due to the strict investigation, Qu Hao did not dare to go anywhere, so he could only wander alone by the river. Looking at the boats coming and going on the river, I felt a little depressed. I remember that when I was discharged from the army last year, I had a similar feeling, but at that time I still had hope, and now, what hope is there? I don't know what I'm living for, and I don't know why I'm fighting for my ideals. When Meng Yao was still around, she still had the motivation of youth and love, but now she only has the primitive instinct of survival.
Thinking of Meng Yao touched Qu Hao's nerve to find her again. But now to wait for Ji Jiao's father and son here, the risk is too great, Qu Hao decided to leave Wu at night and go to Shucheng to find Ji Po and his son.
Qu Hao suddenly saw a group of soldiers marching in the distance in front of him, which made his nerves that had just relaxed a little tense again, and it seemed that the riverside was not a paradise.
There happened to be a small ferry boat with a boatman nearby, so Qu Hao walked over and asked, "Boatman, can you rent a boat?" ”
"Yes, is the guest officer going to cross the river?" The boatman asked.
"I'm here to wait for someone, it's still early before the agreed time, I want to rent your boat to see the scenery on the river." Qu Hao said.
"Okay, as long as you give the boat money, you can do whatever you want." The boatman said as he motioned for Qu Hao to get on the boat with his hand.
After Qu Hao jumped on the boat, the boatman rowed the boat to the center of the river, and then cruised on the river.
Autumn is coming to an end, and the cold on the river is getting stronger day by day, and the river seems to be more transparent and bright than before. The river is full of boats coming and going. In Qu Hao's impression, there are not many inland river ships in modern society, because the efficiency is too low. But in the Yangtze River that he sees now, the boat is the most effective means of transportation in ancient times, and the use of the boat has promoted social progress and development.
The boat traveled back and forth on the river, waiting for the night to fall.
After about an hour or so, suddenly a boat came from each end of the boat, and on each side there were three soldiers armed with spears.
Qu Hao saw that something was wrong, and immediately asked the boatman to dock.
As soon as the boatman turned around, he heard the soldiers of one of the ships shouting: "Listen, the shipwright in front, someone has reported that your ship is carrying an enemy agent, stop the ship immediately for inspection." ”
When the boatman heard this, he immediately did not dare to paddle.
Qu Hao saw that the situation was not good, and stepped forward to snatch the oars from the boatman's hands. The boatman saw Qu Hao snatching the oars, and after reacting, he began to compete with Qu Hao for the oars, Qu Hao couldn't do it, so he used a black tiger to dig out his heart, knocked the boatman down and fell into the Yangtze River with a punch, and then waved the oars to row the boat to the shore.
At this time, he only heard a whooshing sound, and an arrow was shot at the bow of the boat, Qu Hao turned around and saw that the soldiers were all setting up arrows and preparing to shoot him, so he had to jump into the water and dive into the water to swim towards the riverbank.
The two boats saw Qu Hao diving in the water, driving the boat to chase, Qu Hao was extraordinary, quickly swam to the shore, climbed ashore and ran, just ran a few steps, and saw an arrow passing by, he didn't dare to slack off, pulled out the copper flute and looked back to shoot down the arrows one by one.
At this time, the two boats also docked, the soldiers put away their bows and jumped down the boat, Qu Hao saw that they stopped shooting arrows, pulled their legs and ran forward, those soldiers held spears and began to chase, but where were they Qu Hao's opponents, I saw that the distance between them was getting farther and farther, and even exceeded the distance of archery.
At this moment, one of the soldiers shot an arrow into the sky, and the sharp sound was heard in all directions. It didn't take long for Qu Hao to see more than a dozen soldiers running in front of him to surround him.
Qu Hao had no choice but to run into the Yangtze River again, jump in and swim to the other side, intending to get rid of the encirclement and interception by swimming.
The six soldiers saw Qu Hao jump into the Yangtze River again, and also reflexively ran to the two small boats, jumped into the small boats and began to pursue Qu Hao, after chasing for a while, seeing that the distance was too far, the soldier who fired the arrow fired another arrow fired an arrow to the other side of the Yangtze River.
Some soldiers on the other side heard the arrows and knew that something was happening, and immediately several more soldiers ran towards the bank of the river with spears. Then stand where Qu Hao landed and wait for him to come ashore.
Qu Hao had already consumed a lot of physical strength at this time, and when he saw these soldiers standing on the river bank and wanted to swim back, he was worried that his physical strength was too much, so he had to go ashore and take out the copper flute and rush up.
These soldiers rushed over with spears in hand, and Qu Hao blocked left and right, repelling the attacks of these soldiers one after another. But while the soldiers were fighting, the six soldiers also arrived by boat, and a dozen spears rushed together.
Seeing this scene, Qu Hao suddenly repelled the soldiers in front of him and ran forward, but he didn't expect that there was a small dirt bag in front of him, and there was a soldier lying on his stomach behind, and when he approached, the soldier suddenly jumped out and hugged his legs.
The soldiers took his brass flute, seized all his belongings, tied him with ropes, and carried him into the city.
