Chapter 272: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
The surface of the river was quiet again in an instant, except for the shallow waves slowly pushing downstream.
Ling Kun and Shangguan Chengcheng jumped lightly and flew back to the big ship. Ling Kun looked at the water and said, "Will they all drown these bastards?" ”
Shangguan Chengcheng frowned and shook his head: "No, those boatmen are all from the Yangtze River Branch of the White Lotus Sect, and the water quality is excellent, and they will also be rescued by the dark clouds." Our news will reach Situ Jianghua immediately. ”
"That's a big problem, what should I do?" Ling Kun sighed.
Sure enough, not long after, a large head appeared on the surface of the river in the distance, and of course there were floating corpses.
Ling Kun frowned deeply.
Long Biaohan and Zhu Mingjiu were overjoyed and hurried over. Zhu Mingjiu said: "Two heroes, you have saved 300 lives, and you have also saved hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangnan. As he spoke, he knelt down.
Ling Kun hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Mr. Zhu doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Brother Ling, I don't even know how to thank you." Long Biaohan was grateful, and then turned around and shouted back: "Shuang'er, come and apologize to Ling Gongzi and Miss Shangguan, you are arrogant and domineering, you have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, this time you know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world." ”
Long Aoshuang's face turned red, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, it was my ...... before." ”
Ling Kun waved his hand and said, "There is no need to mention this matter, the real difficulties are still to come, and even we are afraid that there is nothing we can do." ”
"What? Isn't the White Lotus Sect already running and running dead? Do you dare to come? Long Biao and the others said in horror.
Ling Kun sighed and said: "The two of us were chased and killed by their leader Situ Jianghua before fleeing to the south, his martial arts are far superior to those of me, so once they escape, they will report the news as soon as possible, and Situ Jianghua will come as quickly as possible, not only to kill us but also to grab the silver." ”
"This, this, what can I do?" Zhu Mingjiu and Long Biaohan immediately changed color: "Ling Gongzi, no, Ling Daxia, you must find a way to save us, this is more than three hundred lives, and none of them will survive if they fall into the hands of the White Lotus Sect." ”
"Yes, the people of Jiangnan have worked hard for a year, waiting for this batch of silver to go back to live.
Ling Kun was upset by their noise, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't talk about it, I know everything, you let me think about it." ”
Zhu Mingjiu and Long Biaohan hurriedly shut their mouths and stood aside tremblingly. Long Aoshuang kept her head down, but she couldn't help but look at Ling Kun secretly.
At this time, she no longer felt disgusted by Ling Kun, on the contrary, how good she looked, especially when she frowned and thought, she looked even more melancholy and charming.
If you can marry such a young talent, it will not be in vain to go back to the world, thinking of this, I can't help but look at Shangguan Allure again. Seeing that she was beautiful and captivating, she immediately felt ashamed of herself.
From looking down on others before to looking down on himself now, Long Aoshuang has changed a lot.
Ling Kun pondered and asked, "Two old gentlemen, it will take a few days to walk from here to Yueyang. ”
Long Biaohan replied: "If you take the dry road, it will take three days to travel more than 400 miles from here to Yueyang, even if you travel day and night. ”
"So you can still walk by water?" Ling Kun asked.
"Yes, the Yangtze River leads directly to Yuezhou, and you can take the waterway, but the waterway is about 600 miles, and even if you go downstream, you have to walk for three days." Zhu Mingjiu replied.
Shangguan Chengcheng wrenched his fingers and analyzed: "Situ Jianghua may get the news tonight, with his light skills, he can arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, at that time, no matter how we go, we are still on the road, and it is difficult to escape this catastrophe." ”
Ling Kun frowned and said, "If you can divert Situ Jianghua's gaze and delay him for a day, you can rush back to Yueyang City." ”
"Do you have a solution?" Shangguan Chengcheng asked.
"I don't know if it's possible, but I can try."
Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly asked what to do.
Ling Kun replied, "Pour the silver on the White Lotus Sect's ship, and we will take the waterway back to Yuezhou, fix our ship in the center of the river, and disguise it as we have always been." Before Situ Jianghua arrived, the people of the White Lotus Sect would not dare to come to check, and when Situ Jianghua arrived here and found out that he had been fooled, we might have entered Yuezhou City. ”
Long Aoshuang said worriedly: "The people of the White Lotus Sect must have sent people to keep an eye on both sides of the strait and upstream and downstream, once they are discovered, that Situ Jianghua will directly chase after them."
Come. ”
"What you said makes sense, but we can only improvise, we use the ship of the White Lotus Sect, maybe we can fool it over." Ling Kun said.
"So what can we do now?" Long Biaohan asked.
"It's daytime, you can't do anything, otherwise the people on the shore can see it, find a place to anchor and fix the boat, and bring back the boats of the White Lotus Sect, and wait for dark."
Situ Jianghua's life has reached the first level, the first in the world in martial arts, the army has many generals, and he is the master of the world, and he is also the founding emperor of Daning when he takes a step back. It is a joy to advance, and a joy to retreat.
But is there a fly in the ointment?
Of course, Wang Liguo's harem has been disbanded, and the current harem is deserted, and there is not even a personal figure. The minister has written several times, asking the emperor to set up a harem as soon as possible, otherwise the yin and yang will be uneven and the world will be restless.
Prime Minister Zhu Zixiao organized a large-scale selection of concubines, and gathered all the young women in Chengdu who were beautiful and well-established in the palace to be selected by Situ Jianghua. However, having seen Shangguan Allure's peerless appearance, the remaining postures of Pu Liu really can't enter his eyes.
For the new emperor, everything about him is sacred, especially the empress, who must be the most beautiful woman in the world to take on the role.
So, the matter was put on hold, and he vowed to conquer Shangguan Allure and make her willing to become his queen.
In the evening of that day, Situ Jianghua received a message from the White Lotus Sect and learned that Ling Kun and Shangguan Chengcheng were on the Yangtze River in Jingzhou, and they also had a million taels of silver. He was overjoyed and immediately set off, crossing mountains and mountains from Chengdu to the west.
Situ Jianghua's two most urgent things at the moment are to kill Ling Kun and bring him back to Shangguan Allure. This time, maybe all of it can be done.
At night, the surface of the river was pitch black, and the dark clouds that had escaped death stood on the shore, looking at the dark boat in the center of the river and wondering: "Why don't they move, is there any moth?" ”
Xu Muxiang snorted coldly: "Don't worry, Great Protector, since Shangguan Chengcheng and Ling Kun want to protect that batch of silver, they won't give up halfway, as long as we stare at the silver boat, it is equivalent to staring at them." ”
Wuyun Mo nodded and said, "It makes sense, let the brothers cheer up and keep an eye on me." ”
