"Good young master......"

Xiao Yi's face was a little pale, she stood up against the wall, and walked over as steadily as possible.

The hull of the ship swayed, and because it was on the top floor, the sound of the torrential rain overhead was even more pronounced.

Suddenly, there was another explosion of thunder, and the hull of the ship tilted sharply to the left in a flash of lightning, and it was almost ninety degrees.

Xiao Yi couldn't stand still, so he hurriedly rushed two steps, and Zhao Rui also opened his arms and held Xiao Yi in his arms at once.

No matter how the wind and rain fluttered, Zhao Rui's arms were warm and steady, which made Xiao Yi, who had always been uneasy, breathe a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, Xiao Yi couldn't help but lean on Zhao Rui tighter, and the fiery body temperature came through his clothes, and there was a sense of security that made people reluctant to leave.

"Are you afraid of thunder?"

Zhao Rui couldn't imagine that Xiao Yi, who seemed to be a little clever and stubborn, still needed himself like this.

"Well...... If only the young master was with me every time......"

Xiao Yi seemed to be a little tired, while sticking her pretty face to Zhao Rui's chest, she grabbed one of Zhao Rui's big hands and covered her exposed ear, as if she felt very relieved, Xiao Yi closed her eyes with a light smile.

Zhao Rui smiled secretly, he had to plug his ears, how afraid he was.

The scale of the wind and waves is still increasing, and Zhao Rui is exerting himself everywhere he touches the wall or floor, just to maintain his own stability and not wake up Xiao Yi in his arms.

Although through the thin clothes, Zhao Rui could feel Xiaoyi's distinct curves and the amazing softness, but at this moment Zhao Rui had no other thoughts.

Perhaps it was on this stormy boat that Zhao Rui actually had a feeling of being close to Xiao Yi like family, both of them were the same helpless, giving each other warmth in this troubled world.

The storm slowly calmed down for more than an hour, and the deck below became lively again, and the sun came out again as if nothing had happened, scorching the steamy water on the ship.

Maybe it was because the cabin became a little hot, Xiao Yiqiao woke up with a blushing face, and saw Zhao Rui's eyes close at hand, looking extremely flustered.

"Ah, young master, I accidentally fell asleep!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yi quickly got up and smoothed out some of the wrinkles on her clothes.

"Hehe, these days are all in a hurry, and the average soldier can't stand it, let alone you as a woman." Zhao Rui said with relief.

Xiao Yi smiled sweetly when she heard this, and then opened the door, ready to move the sundries out of the cabin.

The heat outside poured in all of a sudden, and Zhao Rui didn't want to stay inside, so he was ready to go out to breathe.

Suddenly, the voice of the boatman outside: "Look, there's a ship over there that is about to sink!" ”

Kindness?

The busy warriors on the deck all looked together.

Zhao Rui also came out and saw that there was really a tilting boat farther away from the side of the hull.

The boat seemed to be leaking somewhere, and even though the people on the boat tried their best to scoop the water out, there was still no visible effect.

"Young Master?"

Zhao Gong looked up at Zhao Rui, asking what the young master meant.

"Let's go and save people!"

Only when everyone does this can we ensure that everyone in distress will have hope for life.

This point is common in ancient and modern times, just now the boatman wanted to drive over, but Zhao Gong still wanted to ask Zhao Rui first.

Zhao Rui's giant cargo ship slowly approached, and at this time, the people who sank the ship over there seemed to have given up on saving themselves, raising their hands towards the ship on Zhao Rui's side, shouting loudly.

When he got closer, Xiao Yi asked strangely on the side: "Young master, it's so strange to see their outfits, they don't seem to be from the Central Plains." ”

Zhao Rui had actually seen the other side clearly, although their clothes were modeled on China's, they were slightly different, and there were a few people with swords tied around their waists, that is, the *** of the island country, and they were undoubtedly from the island country.

"It's Dongying."

The boat lowered the soft ladder and rescued the people in turn.

However, after these islanders got on the boat, they didn't even say a word of thanks, but looked a little arrogant.

They looked around and saw more than 100 soldiers in full arms, just officers and soldiers escorting the cargo ship.

One of them had two swords tied to his waist, and the man who seemed to be their leader stepped forward and said, "I am Hojo Aso, the general of the Toei shogunate, where is your ship's bow?" I have something to discuss! ”

Shogunate?

Zhao Rui thought about it, this time was the beginning of the shogunate of the island country, the Kamakura shogunate period.

This person's attitude was not pleasant, and no one paid attention to him for a while, but everyone looked at Zhao Rui who was standing tall at the same time, waiting for him to make an idea.

"Oh, it turned out to be Dongying's general, let's talk about something directly."

Zhao Rui said lightly, while slowly walking down the wooden steps.

"You're the bow?"

Seeing Zhao Rui coming over, Hojo Aso felt that this person was too young and had doubts, but his matter was really urgent, and he couldn't take care of it so much for the time being.

"Now your cargo ship is under my command! Go with me to Dongying, at this time the Yuan army is coming, I must do my best to rush back! ”

Yuan Jun ......

Oh, Zhao Rui knows, it's 1274, and it was this year that the first Yuan-Japanese War broke out.

This person should have gone to Lin'an on an errand, but when he returned, he encountered a storm and waves, so he wanted Zhao Rui's cargo ship to send more than a dozen of them back.

"Oh, that's so urgent!" Zhao Rui also sighed.

"Exactly! I'm the shogun, and I won't treat you badly when I arrive, so let's go! ”

It's not easy to be able to control such a big ship, and Hojo Aso still has to use the people on the boat, so making a promise in advance can be regarded as a one-shot strategy.

"No, no time."

Who knew that Zhao Rui actually refused, and now the faces of the dozen or so island people were not good-looking.

The person next to Hojo Aso should be a guard, and he pulled out *** with a swipe, and sneered: "Aren't we discussing it?" ”

"Yo, is it possible that you want to rob it?" Zhao Rui was even more unconcerned, and said leisurely.

That kind of empty-eyed attitude made the island people even more angry.

"Humph! Do you think you can resist if you have more of you? Let me tell you, our Hojo Shogun is a two-sword sword master, and his own thousand-person killing skills are unbeatable, not to mention that you are only a hundred, even if it is a thousand, it is not the enemy of Hojo Shogun alone! ”

After this man finished speaking, Aso Hojo, who was standing on his side, raised his chin with a proud face, as if to prove that what his subordinates said was true.

Depend on!

It's really blown!

Zhao Rui dismissed, what this kind of small country is best at is to immerse themselves in the obscenity that they think is powerful.

Idle is also idle, just practice and train soldiers.

"Soldiers, who is interested in having a few tricks with them one-on-one?"

I didn't expect this bow to really want to fight?

These island people, including Hojo Aso, all showed a cruel smile, since they can't do their best, don't blame themselves for killing chickens and monkeys!

Moreover, what the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty looked like, they island people knew very well, they all ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and they all relied on their salaries to live a lazy life, and they were not fart when they started a war, if it weren't for this, they would not have been besieged by the Yuan Dynasty for so many years!

"Okay! I'm going to see which of you dares to do it! Hojo Aso shouted, full of momentum!

However, the reaction of the soldiers greatly surprised the people of the island nation.

"I, I! I'll do it! ”

"Let me go, let me go!"

"I can play two at a time, without a rest ......"

Almost all the soldiers raised their hands and fought for it, and it was not the weakness of ordinary Song soldiers at all.

No way......

More than a dozen island people looked blankly, as if they had become the object of scramble, looking at their eagerness, as if they were full of certainty.

Now under Zhao Rui's rule, there is basically a way of thinking like "not a good general is not a good soldier", even the soldiers at the bottom are angry and never slack.

While they are strong themselves, they are also looking forward to the day when they can be favored by Zhao Rui and lead a large army at that time, what a great thing it is to glorify their ancestors!

So Zhao Rui just said it casually, and the following corresponded, and even earned a bit of a red-eyed posture.

couldn't go on like this, Zhao Rui immediately asked Zhao Gong to select the corresponding people.

Zhao Gong is very familiar with the soldiers who get along day and night, so he is the most convincing to choose.

He then named fifteen people, all of whom were the best in their usual training competitions, and everyone had nothing to say about them.

Bastard!

Who said they were going to have a one-on-one competition?

Hojo Aso was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and sneered: "Okay, since you don't measure yourself, let you understand the power of our Toei bushido!" But I'll tell my men not to hurt you! ”

Since Hojo Aso said so, Zhao Rui didn't want to take advantage, and also ordered the appropriate stay, so a battle competition began.

Compared with the Taidao of the Dongying warriors, the weapons of the warriors on Zhao Rui's side are varied.

Some are just carrying ordinary simple knives, some are using the scimitars of the captured Yuan army, and some are still using the batch of spears made by Zhao Rui at the beginning.

There are no hard requirements for cold weapons on Zhao Rui's side, as long as the soldiers use them easily, anyway, the main attack method is still relying on muskets.

In the past, bows and arrows were used when muskets were insufficient, but now after the bolt-type rifles are fully equipped, bows and arrows have been eliminated.

So in terms of weapons, it was actually the soldiers on Zhao Rui's side who were at a disadvantage.

Those Dongying warriors had a feeling that they were facing a ragtag army, and they didn't take these seemingly thin warriors seriously at all.

They are now in Dongying, the shogunate controls the political situation, and as samurai, they are treated quite well, and they are all strong, but because of their genes, they are still a head shorter than the warriors on Zhao Rui's side.

The first showdown is underway.

"Come on, skinny monkey, beware of me splitting you in half!"

A Dongying warrior came on the field and drew a sword, the surface of which was smooth and cold, and it was really a rare weapon, while the warrior on the opposite side was carrying a wooden stick and did not even have a spear head.

Not only is the weapon not good, but even the physical posture can tell the advantages and disadvantages at a glance, and the soldiers on Zhao Rui's side are wearing wide camouflage uniforms, which makes them even weaker.
