Chapter 16: The Water Ghosts of the Yalu River (1)

Just when Ye Ruliu was sad, a person ran from behind her, this person came to the river, without saying a word, jumped into the river with a "plop" and swam quickly towards the boat.

This person is Du Heng, the "golden Jiao in the waves". After the inn was besieged by fire, he, Xie Yuan, and Ba Wu were arranged by Luo Shiyin to stay behind to organize the evacuation of the merchants in the inn. Du Heng first used a knife to split the locked door, and then with Xie Yuan and Bau, he removed the wooden planks on the dining table of the inn, soaked the wooden planks in water and spread them on the firewood burning at the door, and paved a passage in the fire. He ordered the merchants to go to their rooms and fetch quilts, soak them in water, wrap them around their bodies, and one by one they rushed out of the planks and carried them safely out into the street. With the exception of a few minor injuries, all merchants were rescued safely.

After Du Heng and the three rescued the customer, they immediately rushed to fight with Luo Shiyin and the others. Du Heng saw several masked people fleeing towards the river with the unconscious Shi Lang from a distance, and immediately quickened his pace and ran to the riverside. When he came to the riverside, he saw Ye Ruliu looking at the boat in the middle of the river and wept, and immediately understood everything. Without hesitation, he jumped into the river alone.

I saw Du Heng take a deep breath, dive into the water, and in the blink of an eye, he was exposed on the surface of the water ten meters away, and then stretched his arms and chased after the boat like a dragon out of the water.

By this time, it was already getting brighter. When he swam to the center of the river, Du Heng had clearly seen nearly ten black-clothed masked people standing on the boat, all of them holding Japanese ninja swords, looking at the river vigilantly.

The people on the boat found Du Heng in the water. Listening to the order of the Japanese woman, the other masked people on the boat all jumped into the water with knives and swam towards Du Heng.

Looking at the seven or eight masked people who swam towards him from the surface of the river, Du Heng dived into the water, and his body almost swam past the bottom of the river.

Du Heng under the water looked up, and the seven or eight masked people were floating on the water above him like seven or eight frogs.

Du Heng clenched the steel knife in his hand, saw the opportunity, and stabbed the masked man swimming in the last in the abdomen. Blood immediately stained the river around his body. The stabbed masked man struggled a few times and slowly sank to the bottom of the river. Seeing that their companions were attacked, the rest of the masked men turned around one after another, sneaked into the river, and launched a siege on Du Heng.

A fierce battle unfolded under the deep surface of the Yalu River. Although Du Heng dealt with six or seven people on the other side alone, Du Heng had a certain advantage in the weapons used by both sides, and the weapon he used was called the Dragon Tuzi Mother Knife, which was divided into two pieces, one long and one short, and the longer one was the mother knife, which was suitable for land combat; The shorter one is a sub-knife, which is powerful in underwater combat. Both knives are forged from hard, high-carbon steel. At this time, what Du Heng was holding in his hand was the sub-knife suitable for underwater warfare among the twin knives of the son and mother. Several of the masked men were using Japanese ninja knives with long blades. In hand-to-hand combat in the water, long knives are not as flexible as short knives because of the resistance of water. In the use of tactics, Du Heng also showed his sophistication, he did not fight hard with opponents with superior numbers, but used his superb swimming skills, used guerrilla tactics, mobilized opponents in sports, and chose opportunities to break through.

After a while, two more masked men died under the knife of Du Heng's son. The remaining enemies seemed to understand Du Heng's tactics, they gestured to each other a few times, and several people immediately swam towards Du Heng in formation, surrounding Du Heng in the middle. The ninja knives in their hands stabbed at Du Heng almost at the same time. Du Heng was a little nervous at this time, although he struggled to stab an enemy to death in the fight, but his lower leg was stabbed by the other party. Seeing that Du Heng was injured, the four masked men immediately adjusted their posture in the water, surrounded Du Heng again, and the four ninja knives stabbed at Du Heng with a cold cold light. Du Heng, who was surrounded in the middle, saw that the opponent was fierce, and did not dare to fight, and at the moment when the blade of the ninja knife was about to stab him, Du Heng quickly closed down and dived, swam out of the encirclement from the four enemies, and swam away into the distance. Four enemies closed up in formation and followed. After swimming for a while, Du Heng felt a little strained, the wound on his calf kept bleeding outward, his speed gradually slowed down, and he saw the four enemies behind him chasing after him with sharp blades.

At this moment, Du Heng suddenly found that a black thing swam in front of him, and when the thing swam closer, Du Heng saw that the thing was all black, with a pair of animal skin shorts around his waist, and a water gun with a crossbow-like firing device at the tail in his hand. It turned out to be a man, a black man who swam towards him with a water gun in his hand.

Du Heng was a little timid, he was wounded by a knife, there were chasing soldiers behind him, and a black guy with a gun swam in front of him, am I Du Heng going to die in this Yalu River? Du Heng gritted his teeth and rushed towards the with a knife. Unexpectedly, the smiled at Du Heng, revealing two rows of white teeth. The white teeth created a strong visual contrast with his dark face. It seems that this person has no ill will towards him, Du Heng reasoned. The raised his left hand and motioned for Du Heng to continue swimming. After Du Heng passed, the raised the water gun in his hand and shot at the four masked men who were chasing Du Heng, and the short arrow from the water gun rushed out of a waterline and hit one of the masked people. The pulled the short arrow out of the masked man from the middle arrow. It turned out that the tail of the arrow had a thin line attached to the barrel of the spear. The expertly and quickly loaded the water gun, and with a "whoosh" another arrow, another masked man was killed. By the time the pulled the arrow back and prepared it to be refired, the last two masked men swam up to him and stabbed him with ninja knives. Unhurriedly, the stabbed the nearest masked man in the throat with both hands. It turned out that the body of the water gun was a two-meter-long spear, and when the two sides stabbed each other face to face, the two-meter-long spear was obviously more lethal than the much shorter ninja knife. The last masked man took advantage of the to shoot and slashed closer. A good, seeing the other party swinging a knife and stabbing him, he dodged lightly, and used his arm to jam the neck of the masked man, twisting it hard, only to hear a "click", and the masked man's neck was twisted.

After the easily killed the four Japanese ninjas, he first gave Du Heng a triumphant thumbs up, and then pointed his thumb at himself. Du Heng smiled gratefully and gave the a thumbs up.

At the same time as the fierce battle underwater, the Japanese woman on the boat on the river rocked the boat alone and continued to move towards the other side of the river. In the cabin behind her, Shi Lang, who was already unconscious, lay down. It appears that one of the purposes of their operation was to capture a member of the squad alive.

Suddenly, the hull shook violently. The woman crouched down in panic and held the boat with her hand to keep her body balanced. As soon as she stabilized herself, a black human head suddenly appeared from the river at the bow of the boat, which was as black as carbon, and two eyes glowing green stared strangely at the person on board.

"Ahh The woman was so frightened that she sat on the boat, and it took a while to slowly calm down. She took out three Bafang shurikens from her body and shot at the black man in the river. When the black man saw the dart coming, he immediately sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared without a trace. The woman got up and swayed on, but the hull shook violently. On the other side of the boat, the black head popped out again. This time, the black man held a water gun in his hand and aimed it at the Japanese woman on the boat. Before the woman could touch the dart on her body, she was hit by a short arrow shot by the black man, and she screamed, pulled out the short arrow with all her might, and fell into the water.

The river returned to calm, and a small boat floated over. There was a person standing at the bow of the boat, this person was wearing a blue-blue robe, a footstool boat-shaped cloud boots, a flat mixed yuan hat on his head, and a long spike seven-star sword on his waist, just like a fairy wind bone.

Seeing the appearance of the person dressed as a Taoist priest, two black men under the water swam towards the boat, one of them was the one who helped Du Heng get out of danger, and the other had just shot the Japanese woman. Du Heng also swam over behind them. The three of them boarded the boat of the Taoist priest one after another.

"Not a ...... Stay, see Yan ...... O King! A black man reported to the Taoist priest in blunt words.

"Well done." The Taoist priest stretched out his thumb and praised the two.

"Thank you to the three strong men for the rescue!" Du Heng dragged an injured leg and sat on the boat to thank the three.

"You're welcome!" The man dressed as a Taoist priest replied.

"Dare to ask ...... three of you?" Du Heng asked with some hesitation.

"We're all on the same path. After a while, you will see the commander, and you will be clear. Hahaha! The Taoist priest pretended to be mysterious.

The four men approached the boat of the overboard woman and lifted Shi Lang to their own boat. The Taoist priest examined Shi Lang and Du Heng's wounds, and then pulled out the Bafang shuriken from Shi Lang's body, took out two packets of golden medicine from his arms and applied them to the wounds of the two respectively, and bandaged the wounds with gauze.

Shi Lang remained unconscious. The Taoist priest did not dare to slack off, and ordered the two black men to rock the boat and sail towards the shore where Luo Shiyin and they were.
