The Yangtze River flows into the Lingding Ocean in Fan Ying City, after this stormy weather, the river and the sea are overturned, the raindrops fall straight down, the north wind is magnificent, the original deep and beautiful, charming and beautiful Fangang scene is a waterfall-like wiper for several days into a dangerous city with the risk of bursting the embankment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the middle of winter, such a violent storm dragged on and on, which I had never seen again in my life. The Ice Age in the Celestial Phenomena mentioned by Qin Tianjian was probably at this time when it began to vigorously open its hideous minions to the heavens and the earth.

The river workers and people of the River Transport Division of the Ministry of Industry were busy in the rain, and the people on the embankment had been evacuated, and due to the bad weather, there were not as many boats as usual.

Huang Chun and I, together with 200 Janissary sergeants, each dressed in Beiming Wuyang Qinghe, wore a hat to protect from the rain, and did not carry an umbrella, but waited quietly in Fangang for the ship to bring Prince Jing, a merchant ship with a color eye, and a Xinming painting boat for false giftsβ€”in fact, we did not know which ship Prince Jing was on.

Because the Xinming ship was too large and inconvenient for inland navigation, this escort also chose the warship according to the usual routine and escorted it in an ordinary manner, hoping that it would not attract the attention of Luo Wei and Xinyue.

However, as time gradually passed, only the overwhelming dense rain fell like a bead curtain, fluttering, layering, gathering and dispersing, and the cold wind on the sea surface was also frozen and rolled up and down in bursts, but still did not see the ship that came to send back Prince Jing.

I couldn't help but be anxious again, and walked out of the post house where everyone was waiting, and went straight to the towering sentry, pushing a small sergeant on duty to one side, trying to look far away, searching for the returning ship farther away from the sea and sky.

A day passed, and until nightfall, there was still no waiting for the ship to be sent back to Prince Jing......

The wind behind him was blocked and gradually decreased, Huang Chun's steps and body temperature came to the front of him, he held a thick oil-paper umbrella with three layers of cover, wrapped in a flowing cloud bat cotton robe, the gray rabbit fur was wet by the wind, and the crystal beads stood outside the wind hair.

"Let's go eat first, warm up," Huang Chun pulled me, I moved my steps, only to find that my whole body was already a little stiff, and I stumbled a little embarrassed, Fang and he helped each other and went down together. The charcoal pot in the post house was burning red, and when I came in, someone had already gotten up and given me a seat for the soldiers who were roasting the fire next to me, and Huang Chun sat silently on the other side.

I stretched out my hands and feet to warm up on the cover of the charcoal basin, and the round-faced Praetorian Guard sergeant who had just given me a seat held a steaming sea bowl and a pair of chopsticks and handed them to me, and the heat flickered in front of my eyes.

I took the bowl and said, "Thank you." ”

"The pheasant broth soup is soaked in rice, soaked in two pieces of salty bacon, and the brothers say it tastes good. General Fu, eat it. He smiled, with a young face, and his teeth were beautiful when he smiled.

Huang Chun sat across from him and didn't say a word.

The small oil lamp in the pavilion was dim and shadowy. Time passed with the wind. After eating the rice, I went to stir up the charcoal fire.

Huang Chun suddenly got up and said to the post house, "I'm tired of taking everyone to arrange a night's rest first, and we'll do it tomorrow." ”

Looking at the rain outside the skylight, I heard my own hoarse voice, "Line up for more shifts and take turns on guard." The rest rested. After speaking, he looked at Huang Chun, Huang Chun smiled and said yes, and pulled me to the upstairs wing.

"Let's sleep in a bunk, there is no brazier on it, so it is warmer, the soldiers have a large bunk for thirty people, and the quilts are complete, so it should be no problem, so that the people who watch the fire at night will be saved, and only the people who will be on duty at night will be left, so that everyone can also rest." Huang Chun talked to me, while taking an oil lamp and I went upstairs with me, opened a corner room in the easternmost head, the room was simple and clean, only a bed, a table and a chair, he put down the lamp, and didn't say much, so he scooped water into the copper basin with a scoop pool in the urn next to him, twisted a handkerchief in it and handed it to me to wipe his face, and he spread out the limestone cotton quilt on the bed, put down a pillow and pressed it, and then covered another quilt on it, and began to untie the outer robe on his body layer by layer, wearing a moon-white underwear and swishing into the quilt.

When I saw him like this, I couldn't help but feel as if I had returned to the time when I was a classmate of the former Secret Outpost Martial Arts School, so I just threw the handkerchief that wiped my face into the copper basin, took off my hands and crossed them to my chest, and teased him, "What do you want?" I'm a martyr. ”

He smashed the pillow at me, and said with a helpless smile, "Come up and sleep, who has time to mess with you, I don't know if I can sleep well at night, rest early, in case half of the night comes, I can cheer up and answer the prince, I don't know what happened to the prince?" What is the emergency? What is the situation? The eldest princess didn't command, and it was inconvenient for me to ask. ”

I also took off my coat and robe, put my wet gold silk cotton socks on my foot, and got into the quilt.

"Huang Chun?"

"Huh?"

"Why did you let me wipe my face, but you came to sleep without scrubbing yourself."

"I didn't have to run to the windy and rainy sentry post and stand for most of the day."

"Huang Chun, do you have small print?"

"Yes, there is, but Beiming doesn't pay attention to this. What's wrong? Suddenly asked about this? ”

"Nothing. Sleep, I haven't rested for two days. ”

The snoring came and went.

"Bang" was the sound of arrows hitting the partition, and the dark green arrows pierced the window lattice and stuck, revealing only one head. Outside the door, there was a loud shouting and the sound of bows, crossbows, and halberds. The sound of "whooshing" arrows was accompanied by the sound of "bang" and "poof" objects falling to the ground, and then, a fire gun sounded, and many firelights began to fly around the pavilion.

Huang Chun and I hurriedly jumped out of the quilt to get dressed and armored, only to see that the soldiers downstairs had already mingled with a group of black-clothed assassins, and the crossbowmen of the other side stood at the four corners of the upper floor and lowered their arrows, but in a quarter of an hour, they had already shot a person in the room like a hedgehog. The more valuable sergeant suddenly flew from the outside to the inside and reported, "I saw the boat back-" without saying a word, and was stabbed in the vest by the Tang knife by the door, only hooking an incredible expression, and the blood gushed from his lips and fell softly.

A few arrows shot straight at my waistcoat, and I swung the moon scimitar to block it. Over there, Huang Chun had already taken the Thunder Bow to shoot, but unexpectedly, a pedal under his feet was suddenly pierced by the fire gun, I hurriedly grabbed him, and the two of them retreated to the house and closed the door while blocking the rain of arrows.

"Who are these?" I opened the back window and asked Huang Chundao.

Huang Chun jumped out willingly, and I also turned over and jumped into the rain, and the two of them went straight to the beacon tower in the southwest corner. The platform was already occupied by the Assassins, and they swung out a series of crossbows and crossbows, and the arrows kept firing, and they couldn't get close.

"Seeing that it was all a killer move, we had to call for help at sea." Huang Chun said to me.

I nodded and followed him to hide in the heavy rain and a side of the shadow wall, groping to the stable, the horses were not poisoned and were caught, it seems that they are not robbers, I suddenly had doubts in my heart, and asked Huang Chun, "They don't poison the horses, it seems that with their manpower, we can escape a little easier, you say, will they want us to lure Prince Jing's people to facilitate their sneak attack?" ”

The rain drowned out my voice.

But Huang Chun still turned his face to look at me in surprise and paleness, and said in a slight mutter, "If you want to sneak attack the prince, you should wait for the ship to arrive, and then attack each other when you respond, then it is the best time. ”

Out of nowhere, my mind suddenly became clearer, and I said, "That's coming for us?" But in that case, they should have poisoned the horses first, then surrounded the pavilion, and then taken them in one fell swoop, how could they arrange it so that we could escape? ”

Huang Chun only led the horse and rode out, and galloped towards the shore with me, while saying, "It's very strange, but at this moment, I still informed the prince earlier." ”

"Could it be that our receiving team is just a trick, and the prince is not landing here?" My voice seemed to be completely engulfed by the wind and rain, and Huang Chun did not answer me again.

Because right before our eyes, the sailors who landed on the shore were already protecting the two carriages, and they were fighting with another large group of black-clad assassins. The soldiers set up a wild goose formation, and the black-clothed assassins charged intensively in the middle and on both flanks, and Huang Chun and I approached the side of the carriage from the flanks, but we broke through the difficulty, rain, blood, mud, and sea, and the heavens and the earth fell into a kind of obscure and unknown melee.

"Look, the beacon has risen from the beacon tower over there, and it should be that someone from ours has taken the beacon tower and lit the beacon." Huang Chun's face finally had a hint of joy, the joy was so real, and the waterfall curtain that could not be opened through the heavy rain and fog was still vivid.

The sailors and soldiers here also gradually changed their formations around the carriage, trying to surround and kill those assassins in the heart.

There are no flags, no drums, no knowledge of who the enemy is, and no idea what they are doing. Although there is a geographical advantage, although it is the home field, it is the temple that loses first, I don't know what the other party wants to do, like a blind man touching an elephant, a headless fly is fighting.

The two carriages were separated, and the black-clad assassins surrounded one and kept retreating towards the shore, while the other carriage was in the hands of the sailors, who tried to attack and try to take the other carriage down, but in vain. In the heavy rain, I only felt that Huang Chun had stuffed something into the armor behind me, and then we continued to meet with General Pu, who was led by the sailor.

"Hold on for a moment, hold on, reinforcements should come soon." Huang Chun said to General Pu.

"It is important for the prince to heal the disease," I pulled the curtain of the carriage on the side of the sailor soldiers, and saw that there was only a twenty-four-colored brocade package piled up in one place, but it was not Prince Jing, so I couldn't help but lose color and said, "The prince is in their hands?" ”
