The boat, still floating.

After the fierce battle, everyone was a little out of strength, Ji Lie gasped and sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, the Tiger Evil Sword was on his legs, and the blood stains on the sword had not been wiped yet, and the obedient and smart Evil Bird sprang out of the fog and climbed on his shoulder, this guy simply embarrassed the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, and as soon as the war party began, it hid.

The sunset is red, the blood is also red, the tiger evil sword is naturally red when it is dyed with blood, and the evil bird is originally red, as for Ji Lie, he is wearing a dress that represents the Anguo Hou clan, and he is also red.

Xiao Yu walked to Ji Lie's side, squatted down, and was about to take out a silk scarf from his arms to wipe the blood on his face, but his hand stopped, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he stretched out his little hand that was as tender as jade, and wiped it for Ji Lie without disgust.

The hands are soft, the movements are gentle, and the unique fragrance of the girl's family soaks faintly, and this bundle of incense seems to pass through the thick sea of blood to Ji Lie's heart, and then slowly bloom.

Ji Lie opened her eyes and smiled softly at her maid, who blushed and lowered her head, but also smiled softly.

The brothers Ji Ying, Huo Xun, and Tian came over, saying that they were going to check the cabin, and by the way, they acted as bilge crews, and now the crew members on the ship are all dead, but they are still floating on the river, although the water is slower now, and they can always go ashore if they float forward along the river, but everyone actually has some uneasiness in their hearts, because there is still Tiger Beach waiting for them ahead.

Although Ji Lie is the youngest, his identity determines his status, he can't rest any longer, he stood up, wiped off the Tiger Evil Sword, hung it on his waist, and then caught the evil in his hand, stroked its reverse hair, looked at the people in front of him calmly, and said indifferently: "Spread the sails full, and when we float through this mountain and gorge waters, we will find a way to dock and burn the boat." ”

The fate of this ship was sealed when it set sail, whether Ji Lie, Xue Mi or any of them survived, they would burn it down, or sink directly into the river to hide some untold secrets.

Ji Ying said: "Houzi, we should go to Hengchuan Ferry, otherwise, how can we deliver the letter of state?" And how to get through? As for burning the ship, we can lay the fire before we go ashore. ”

Ji Lie said: "Does anyone know where Yokokawa is?" ”

The crowd shook their heads.

Ji Lie said: "Since we don't know where Hengchuan is located, why do we need to look for it, the deviation from left to right is only twenty-three miles, we will follow the mountain range, we will always find the pass, and it will not be too late to submit the national certificate to clear the customs at that time." ”

Ji Ying was silent, if the ferry deviates from twenty-three miles, then the road may deviate by hundreds of miles because of the different directions, such a distance can be the border of two, or even more vassal states, and the national book clearly states that they will pass through those vassal states, once they enter by mistake, the other party will not let them go, then they will stay there, but he knows that the reason why Hou Zi is unwilling to look for Hengchuan Ferry is because Hou Zi believes that there will be Tiger Beach in front of Hengchuan Crossing.

Ji Lie really thinks so, God played a big joke on him, there are always two choices in front of him - life and death, even so, he can only choose life, and will not choose the coexistence of life and death, he must go to Yan Kingdom alive, grow up there, wait for the time to come back alive and then come back alive to fulfill his promise.

The four of them got out of the cabin.

Song Rang smiled at Ji Lie, his smile was so gratifying, it was easy for Ji Lie to read its meaning, yes, in Song Rang's eyes, no matter what decision Ji Lie made, it meant that he had grown up, and he was no longer the ignorant fool he used to be.

Ji Lie also smiled, and smiled firmly.

At this time, there were a few moans from the stern, Song Rang's expression changed slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, smiled, stretched out his hand to pull Ji Lie, but suddenly paused halfway, Ji Lie did not hesitate to take Song Rang's hand and walked towards the stern, just like these years, every time he got into the carriage, Song Rang would always support Ji Lie cordially, although he knew that Ji Lie didn't need to help.

The stern of the ship is a mess, this is the Shura field, and the heads and limbs are everywhere like rotten melons and rotten vegetables, and it is impossible to imagine what kind of battle has been experienced here.

You see, the little black wizard couldn't stand it, he ran to the stern of the boat, wanting to help the bald bear Zhan steer the sails together, so as to prove that he was still somewhat useful, so as not to be chopped up and thrown into the river by this group of murderous people who did not blink, who knows, as soon as he rushed into here, his eyes widened, he stopped breathing, and then hugged the mast and vomited wildly, so angry that Xiong Zhan rolled his eyes, poor Xiong Zhan was very murderous and seasick, and was smoked by the dirt spit out by Xiao Hei, and also vomited with 'wah-wah-wow-la'.

Xiao Yu is a stunning little beauty, beauties generally love to be clean, seeing Xiao Hei vomiting there, she picked up something and threw it over, chirped, just blocked Xiao Hei's mouth, Xiao Hei was spitting, his mouth was even more unhappy, he quickly pulled the thing out, looked at it at a stunned glance, and then his eyes were straight, and his chest rose and fell sharply. "Wow!" It stinks, and he holds a severed hand in his hand!

'Phew, useless thing! Xiao Yu scolded in his heart and turned his head away.

Ji Lie was also disgusted, but he forcibly held back, followed Song Rang to walk in the pool of blood and flesh, and came to Xue Miru.

Xue Mi was covered in blood and sat under the stern of the boat, his hair wet with the river and blood, sticking to his wrinkled pale face, as hideous as the legendary river monster. He couldn't stand up, staring at Ji Lie with a pair of vicious eyes, those eyes were green, full of hatred and unwillingness.

Xiao Yu glanced at his hands and feet, and said softly, "Master Song broke his tendons and tendons. ”

"Hmm."

Ji Lie looked directly at Xue Miru, and did not avoid the bone-digging and curse-like eyes at this moment, since he made that decision, he was ready to bear the backlash it brings, he looked at the sword that Xue Miling was still holding, and said in a low voice: "Are you from Anguo, or from Song?" ”

Xue Mi was stunned, as if he didn't understand why Ji Lie asked like this, and in the next moment, he understood, his blood and qi suddenly surged, his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Ji Lie: "Come here, I'll tell you." ”

"Do you want to bite me? If you are from Anguo, then I feel sorry for you, how can the Xue family do such an unsightly thing? Ji Lie shook his head, as if he had been pricked with a needle in his heart, and was gently stirring, but his face was extremely calm, as if he was just talking about things, and had nothing to do with him.

For a long time, for a long time.

Xue Miru's head tilted, the soft tower hung on his shoulder, the bald bear walked over, pushed his mouth open, and blood gushed out,

Xiong Zhan said: "He died, biting off his tongue. ”

Ji Lie's heart was pierced suddenly, the pain made him almost spasm, he walked over and closed Xue Mi's dead eyes, turned around, and slowly swept around, but suddenly remembered that he was in the same boat not long ago, he wanted to sigh, but he didn't sigh in the end, pointed to the corpses of those armor soldiers, and said: "I know, you are from Anguo, they may not, they want me to die in this river, but you want to wait for me to go ashore." ”

No one answered, and no one asked why, because Xiao Yu and the others knew that Ji Lie's words were said to Xue Miru, and if they wanted to ask, Xue Miru should also ask. Only Xiao Hei was an exception, he stopped vomiting, hugged the severed hand, thought about it seriously, and then, looked at Ji Lie in a daze, and nodded in agreement.

"Houzi."

Huo Xun walked towards Ji Lie with an axe, followed by a woman with her head bowed, her hands tied behind her back, and a sword around her neck, the owner of which was Ji Ying.

How could there be a woman on board?

Ji Lie's brows furrowed.

When the three of them came to the stern, Huo Xun stood beside the woman without saying a word, but Ji Ying guarded against the woman without leaving her sword, and said coldly: "Hou Zi, this woman is hiding in the storage box of the cabin, and her origin is unknown. ”

Ji Lie motioned for Ji Ying to put down his sword.

Ji Ying hesitated for a moment, but put down her sword in Song Rang's eyes.

Ji Lie looked at the woman in front of her, her unkempt and noisy hair, with a few blades of grass and bracken sticking to it, the clothes on her body were crumpled, and she had a lot of pudding, because her hands were tied behind her back, so she strangled her waist very thinly, and she was wearing a pair of tattered and dirty linen shoes on her feet, and a few toes were exposed, just as filthy, and if you looked closely, the nails were full of gray-brown dirt.

"Look up." Ji Lie said indifferently.

The woman looked up tremblingly, it was a numb face, numb from too much fear, her eyebrows were very thin, her eyes were cloudy, and there was a faint grayish-white membrane on the eyeballs, which should have an eye disease, and her trembling lips were chapped and chapped, revealing a few thin yellow teeth.

This is a middle-aged woman, judging from the surface, most of them are a slave, Ji Lie has seen slaves before, and his appearance may be quite different, but his eyes are similar, they are all so indifferent and timid.

Ji Lie asked, "Why are you on the ship?" ”

The woman didn't answer, but trembled even more, perhaps because she had an eye disease and finally saw the flesh field in front of her, and was afraid that she would become like this.

Ji Ying walked over, pinched her mouth, and said coldly: "Hou Zi, her tongue was cut." ”

Tongue cut? As soon as he heard this, Ji Lie's heart sank, and a cold pain came immediately, and he couldn't help but look at Song Rang, who was also looking at him, his eyes were flat and soft, and he shook his head slowly.

After a while, Ji Lie secretly took a breath, slaves can't write, it seems that the reason for this can't be asked, but he has to check her approximate identity, so he said to Ji Ying: "Look at her wrists and ankles." ”

Ji Ying said: "I have just seen it, the wrist and ankle are branded with the word 'fox', it should be the slave of the fox clan, and the fox clan has a fief near the ferry." Hou Zi, we are on the big river, we are in danger, we ......" did not continue, but gently pulled the palm of his hand, signaling Ji Lie, kill.

Kill?

Yes, killing is the easiest way, you can strangle all unknown dangers in the rocking blue, and this is on the big river, even if Ji Lie is kind, he can't let her go. However, Ji Lie was tired of killing today, and he looked back at the dirty, dead Xue Miru, and then looked ahead. The water in front of him was getting wider and wider, and the mountains on both sides were gradually slowing down, and it seemed that he was about to float out of the water of the gorge, so he turned his head to face the woman, and said softly: "You will be on the shore in a moment, and when you come ashore, you will leave on your own." ”

"Hou Zi thinks twice!!"

Ji Ying suddenly knelt on the ground and looked at Ji Lie with an excited expression: "Hou Zi can't be a woman's kindness, how could a slave of the Fox Clan hide in the Xue Clan's warship and not be discovered?" If the Xue clan found out about her, why did they keep her? ”

"That's it, I'll go ashore in a minute.
