"It's a big problem." Yu Qiuping secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly swam towards Wise Mitsuhide. As a good swimmer, he and several companions had rescued a middle-aged man who had fallen into the water in his previous life. Therefore, he knew that the drowning person was extremely flustered and irrational, and would frantically grasp everything around him that might make him float. Moreover, drowning people will be unusually strong because they are on the verge of despair. If you don't pay attention, the rescuer may be caught by the drowning person and taken into the water.

If you want to save someone, you must approach from the side or directly behind the drowning person, and you must not give the drowning person a chance to catch you, but find a way to catch the drowning person.

However, when he dives down and swims behind Akechi Mitsuhide and tries to pull him up, he finds himself a little overwhelmed. Originally, he couldn't do it underwater, not to mention that Akechi Mitsuhide's body was not light, and Akechi Mitsuhide was also struggling, so that Yu Qiuping couldn't drag him up. Seeing that time was passing minute by minute, but no progress had been made in the rescue, Akechi Mitsuhide had swallowed several mouthfuls of water in a row, and Yu Qiuping became more and more impatient. He tried to untie the sufficiency that had taken off Akechi Mitsuhide's body, but he couldn't untie the buckles and knots. And the bow and arrow that was shot into the wise light show was also a serious obstacle to Yu Qiuping's support for his foot.

In a hurry, Yu Qiuping took out the ribs of Sena Shijun in his arms, and used a sharp blade to cut the buckles and knots on Akechi Mitsuhide's body. Then, he pulled out the bow and arrow directly.

"It's okay, there's no bleeding." Yu Qiuping took a look and found that there was no blood pouring into the water, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He finally ripped off all the feet on Akechi Mitsuhide's body, and he doubted that he would dislocate Akechi Mitsuhide. However, he can't take care of so much now, and he can't hold his breath anymore. He grabbed Akechi Mitsuhide's waist with both hands and swam vigorously to finally get Akechi Mitsuhide out of the water.

"The waist is quite thin." At the moment of life and death, Yu Qiuping actually had a casual henchman to slander.

After seeing the light of day again, Yu Qiuping began to gasp for air, but Akechi Mitsuhide was still struggling desperately there. Yu Qiuping tried his best to stabilize Akechi Mitsuhide, and at the same time, he raised his head to find a place where he could go ashore. A few wise people on the cliff seem to have spotted Yuakihei and Akechi Mitsuhide who had fallen into the water, and immediately found a few branches and began to stretch them down. But the height difference is too big for these branches to reach in the rain. Seeing this, the ashigaru yelled and communicated with each other again, and after a while, they didn't know where they found a hemp rope that was nearly five meters long, and threw it towards the place where Yuqiuping fell into the water.

The length of this hemp rope Yu Qiuping had a chance to touch it, but Akechi Mitsuhide kept struggling, so he couldn't adjust the angle at which he could raise his hand. The hemp rope swayed back and forth over Yu Qiuping's head, but Yu Qiuping couldn't reach it alive or dead—it was already extremely difficult for him to keep Akechi Mitsuhide on the water surface now, and his strength was gradually exhausted in one attempt after another.

At this moment, the top of the cliff suddenly remembered the sound of shouting and killing. Yu Qiuping looked over there blankly, only to see that the flag of the Asakura family had approached the side of their falling into the water! The Wise Army, which was slowly retreating, would soon be unable to hold the place where the two fell into the water, and if this place was occupied by the Asakura family, it would be all over! As long as the Asakura family condescendingly releases arrows, they can shoot Yuakihei and Akechi Mitsuhide into a sieve! If Akechi Mitsuhide is still struggling there, both of them will be finished.

"Guangxiu, calm down!" Yu Qiuping shouted in vain at Akechi Mitsuhide, but he understood that it would not help. People who fall into the water are often delirious and can follow the instructions of the rescuer to obey the ghosts.

However, Akechi Mitsuhide seems to be really different. After Yu Qiuping yelled at him for a long time, his movements were really small, and in the end, he calmed down and obediently hugged Yu Qiuping's arm.

"Hell yes." Yu Qiuping couldn't help muttering, but he couldn't miss the opportunity, he immediately grabbed the hemp rope, and then tried to lean towards the shore, intending to pull the hemp rope to climb up. And Akechi Mitsuhide, who was holding his arm, also broke out a few violent coughs at this moment, as if he wanted to cough up all the choking water.

However, just as Yu Qiuping began to try to climb, he suddenly felt his hand loosen, and the whole person fell into the water again. He looked up sharply, only to see that the few Ashigaru who had been rescuing them had fled from the rocks in a hurry, and the Asakura family's troops had already approached a place close at hand!

"I'll go!" Yu Qiuping only felt that his brain was blank, and he didn't want to think about it, so he pulled Akechi Mitsuhide's neck and swam in the direction of the far shore with a backstroke position, and he couldn't stay here to be a live target for the Asakura family. And this posture can not only ensure that Akechi Mitsuhide's head is always exposed on the water and can breathe, but also can hold him and not grab Yu Qiuping. However, this backstroke posture was too slow, and seeing that Ashigaru of the Asakura family had already climbed onto the rock, as if he was calling for the archers to come over, Yu Qiuping panicked instantly.

"Guangxiu, you can hear it now! Can you hear me? Yu Qiuping asked hurriedly towards Akechi Mitsuhide, his voice already slightly transposed.

Vaguely, he didn't know if he had heard it wrong, but he heard an "um" anyway. Yu Qiuping didn't care, and immediately continued to shout, "It's too slow to swim like this!" I'm going to swim breaststroke! If you're sober, ride on my back! ”

After that, Yu Qiuping couldn't care so much, turned over in the water, and struggled to pose in the breaststroke. Immediately after, a burst of gravity was suddenly felt on his back - Wise Mitsuhide actually had a clear consciousness to climb up.

"Are you okay now?" Yu Qiuping struggled to raise his head on the water and whispered to Akechi Mitsuhide, "In this position, if you struggle, both of us will be finished!" ”

"I'm fine." Akechi Mitsuhide's voice was weak and mixed with a few violent coughs, but he finally calmed down. Yu Qiuping has never seen anyone who can calm down so quickly after drowning, but he can't care about it so much.

"Hold on to me!" After Yu Qiuping finally shouted, he smothered his head into the water and swam hard.

·

This was the hardest swim in Yu Qiuping's life, even harder than when he participated in the swimming competition. Because behind him are the archers of the Asakura family and the feathered arrows that come from them. Fortunately, the accuracy of those feather arrows was not very good, and none of them hit Yuqiu Ping and Akechi Mitsuhide.

And this is also the most tiring time he swam through. Less than 200 meters after swimming out, Yu Qiuping already felt that his physical strength had been exhausted. When he was saving people just now, he had already used most of his strength. At this moment, I have to swim alone on my back, and I almost don't even have the strength to breathe. is simply wise and light to show surprisingly light, it is estimated that there is not even 100 catties, otherwise Yu Qiuping would have sunk a long time ago.

Moreover, he suddenly felt a little lost. In order to avoid the arrows of the Asakura family, he swam towards the center of Lake Biwa. However, with the pursuit of the Asai and Asakura coalition forces, the entire shore will be occupied, and Yu Qiuping will have nowhere to stay. Do you want to swim to the southern shore of Lake Biwa in one go, and go ashore in the territory of the Oda family? Lake Biwa is a big lake, and it is at least ten or twenty miles from here to the south shore, and with Yu Qiuping's current physical strength, he still has to carry a wise Mitsuhide, and there is no chance of getting there alive.

Thinking of this, Yu Qiuping himself also felt a little dazed, and his paddling movements gradually slowed down. Wise Guangxiu, who was lying on Yu Qiuping's back, seemed to see Yu Qiuping's concerns, and suddenly whispered:

"Momiji, put me here, you can go quickly."

"Guangxiu, what nonsense are you talking about, if it weren't for saving you, why would I toss for a long time?" Yu Qiuping only felt a flush on his face, and refused very resolutely, "You lie on my back honestly, we will definitely be able to swim to the shore." ”

"It's too far for you to do it." Wise Mitsuhide's voice was as cold as ice, as if he had looked down on life and death, "Let me go and leave quickly." You still have a chance to live alone, and you will die with me both. After saying this, Akechi Mitsuhide coughed violently again, as if the drowning just now had caused him to choke on a lot of water.

"No, I refuse." Yu Qiuping took advantage of the gap in ventilation and refused very resolutely again.

"What are you doing stupidly?" Seeing Yu Qiuping so stubborn, Wise Mitsuhide's voice changed a little, and it was even a little similar to a woman's disgusting tone, "Do you want to die like that?" You don't stand a chance! Do you know how important your life is, and do you know how many people need you? Do you think you're a hero? Do you think I'm going to be impressed with you? People who don't know how to cherish their own lives, I look down on them wisely! ”

"People who don't know how to value their lives are, in my opinion, rubbish." Yu Qiuping once again took advantage of the gap in ventilation and spit out a sentence lightly. Then he buried his head in the water, swam a few times harder, then raised his head and said in a deep voice:

"But people who abandon their friends are not even as good as garbage."

Akechi Mitsuhide was a little speechless for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he asked softly, "Why did you do this for me?" ”

"Guangxiu, you're my friend, that's enough." Yu Qiuping learned the tone of Akechi Mitsuhide when he talked to him before, and teased a little playfully, "No matter how I act, it's not your turn to command." ”

After Yu Qiuping said this, the person on his back suddenly quieted down, stopped talking, and just lay quietly on Yu Qiuping's back. After a while, the sound of choking suddenly sounded. Yu Qiuping only felt a chill around his neck, and he didn't know whether it was lake water or tears.

"Momiji, you're a good person."

"But I can't drag you down."
