Chu Huan jumped down from the side of the boat and handed the bow and arrow to Sun Zikong, at this time he was already soaked all over his body, his expression was as cold as winter rain, and he asked, "Are there any casualties?" ”

Sun Zikong glanced back, only to see a guard soldier lying on the side of the cabin, motionless, this soldier was previously injured by the strange knife man wrist, after the big knife was taken off, naturally defeated the assassin, Sun Zikong walked over and squatted, saw a knife at the soldier's neck artery, the main artery blood flowed, but the heavy rain, the blood was washed away by the rain, the rain on the deck was mixed with blood, the soldier's eyes were closed, his face was pale, Sun Zikong stretched out his hand to probe his nose, then looked at Chu Huan, and shook his head.

Chu Huan's brows were tightly locked, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

When Xuanyuan Shengcai turned over on the boat, they had all withdrawn at this moment, Chu Huan was on the boat, one dead and two wounded, and another boatman could no longer find his whereabouts, Chu Huan knew that the boatman had been killed.

"Your Excellency, ......!" Seeing that Chu Huan's face was very unsightly, Xuanyuan Shengcai felt a little guilty, "The last general is derelict in his duties, please ......!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan had already shook his head and said, "General Xuanyuan doesn't have to blame himself, these people are scheming, they have already calculated, and they can't be prevented." He asked, "Are there any casualties on your side?" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai shook his head and said, "It hasn't been counted yet, but the last general slaughtered an assassin with his own hands." ”

"These people act tacitly, come suddenly, go fast, well-trained, and are by no means a rabble." Chu Huan stood in the heavy rain, "General Xuanyuan, order the official ship to dock nearby......!" He looked left and right, saw a boatman, beckoned him to come over, and asked, "Do you know where this place is?" ”

The boatman hurriedly said: "Back to my lord's words, this is about to enter the boundary of Anyi, but it still belongs to the territory of Xishan Road." This should be the ground of Jiushui County, and after Jiushui County, you will enter Xiafeng County of Anyi Road. ”

Chu Huan bowed his head slightly, and said to Xuanyuan Shengcai: "Regardless of whether there is still an ambush on the waterway, we can no longer continue to travel by the waterway. The bottom of your cabin has been chiseled, and even if it is repaired temporarily, it may not be safe. We brothers are not very familiar with the nature of water, and if the official ship itself is not safe, then we must not take risks. ”

Xuanyuan Sheng nodded and said, "Everything is at the command of the adult." At this time, several officers and soldiers had already boarded the boat, and Xuanyuan Sheng ordered everyone to immediately find a nearby place to dock where the boat could be parked.

Although the assassins attacked the east and west tonight, digging through the bottoms of several other official ships to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, but fortunately, these guards were well-trained and did not panic in case of trouble, although because of the riots on the ship, many people ignored Chu Huan's side, but because of the timely repairs, and the number of assassins was not large, it was impossible to launch a large-scale attack, so there was no problem of the silence of the official ships.

The night rain was cold, everyone didn't care where the enemy came from at this time, they could only find a place to dock for the time being, and finally found a place to dock, four official ships docked one after another, and the officers and soldiers quickly transferred the things on the ship to the shore, and then counted the number of people, Chu Huan finally learned that although the loss tonight was not large, there were still four guards who died on the Jing River, in addition to one guard on his own boat, three other guards were killed in the water battle, although they were slightly water-based, dived underwater to find the enemy, but they were not good at underwater combat, Buried in the underwater fight, the companions searched for the body on the river.

Xuanyuan Shengcai's face was ugly, this was the first time he had been so embarrassed, his duty was to protect Chu Huan's safety, but this time before entering the territory of Anyi, Chu Huan was almost assassinated, if it wasn't for Chu Huan's extraordinary skills, the result tonight would be unpredictable, and four elite soldiers of the empire were buried in this assassination, and he didn't even know who the enemy was, which made Xuanyuan Shengcai hold back his anger.

When everyone moved things to the shore, Chu Huan had already sent a cavalry team of ten people to the Yamen of Jiushui County and notified Jiushui County to send a doctor to come.

Four Guards were killed in the battle, and four or five others were wounded, two of whom were not lightly wounded, and their companions could only temporarily help to bandage.

The rain was a little lighter, and the soldiers had set up tents on the shore quickly, and at this time, in the middle of the night, it was difficult to identify the direction of the county seat of Jiushui County.

Xuanyuan Shengcai and Chu Huan both changed their dry clothes and were in the same tent, and a lantern was hung in the tent, although it was not very bright, it was also usable.

When Xuanyuan Sheng came over, Chu Huan was standing in front of the tent door thoughtfully, and when he saw Xuanyuan Sheng coming, Chu Huan asked, "Can General Xuanyuan see what the assassin is tonight?" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai shook his head and said, "Jiang Shang also found the bodies of the two assassins, and after searching for a long time, there were no clues available. He clenched his fists, "My lord, these people don't look like ordinary bandits!" ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "It's really not a rabble. He frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Does General Xuanyuan know anything about swords?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"General Xuanyuan's family is the martial arts family of the empire." Chu Huan said: "I must know a lot about the martial arts between the government and the opposition. ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai bowed slightly: "The man of my Xuanyuan family has learned martial arts since he was a child, and the Xuanyuan family has a special martial arts hall, anyone who has reached the age of five will start to enter the martial arts hall to study, not only to learn and practice martial arts, but also to have a special course in the martial arts hall, to understand the world's martial arts masters, as well as famous weapons or famous horses since ancient times, all have to dabble in ......!" ”

Chu Huanxin only thought about the Xuanyuan family's military generals at first, and just asked casually, but he didn't expect that there was a school like Yanwutang within the Xuanyuan family, and he thought that the Xuanyuan family could use martial arts to establish power in the Qin State and reach today's status and prestige, and it was indeed not accidental, and asked: "That General Xuanyuan must be very clear about the world's famous swords." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai said curiously: "Why do you ask like this? ”

Chu Huan didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "In today's world, which knives are the most famous?" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Naturally, there are three knives, ghost knives, crazy knives, and tyrant knives!" Then he smiled and pointed to the saber on Chu Huan's waist, "My lord, this blood drinking knife, that is also a rare famous knife in the world, if you judge purely from the weapon, the three knives themselves may not be stronger than the blood drinking knife, the prestige of the three knives is mainly to make the knife man have a good knife technique." General Wild Sword Wind, has Lord Chu ever seen it? He asked quite suddenly, his eyes stared at Chu Huan's eyes, Chu Huan had already shook his head and smiled: "When General Feng was alive, I had never entered the court, and I admired his name for a long time, but I had no chance to see it." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled and said: "General Feng's crazy knife, naturally famous in the world, the ghost knife Tian Hou, is the commander of the guards of the prince's mansion, the reason why he got his name, only because when General Feng was in Beijing, the prince proposed to let General Feng point out Tian Hou's knife technique, General Feng did not refuse, the two of them had a discussion, General Feng knew that this Tian Hou's knife technique was really unusual, and he who could last for fifty rounds under General Feng's crazy knife was already a first-class knife master, Tian Hou and General Feng fought for nearly 100 rounds, and was restrained by General Feng in the ninety-ninth round, That said, that's pretty remarkable. General Feng laughed and said that Tian Hou's knife technique was unpredictable and varied, and since then Tian Hou has had the name of the ghost knife. ”

Chu Huan nodded and asked, "Then General Xuanyuan has ever seen a sword?" ”

"Overlord?" Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled and said, "Lord Chu, if I have seen it, you should have seen him too." ”

"Me?" Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "General Xuanyuan, although I have heard of the name of the three swords and four guns to break the sky, I have really not seen a few. General Wild Knife Wind has heard of his name for a long time, and the Ghost Sword Tian Hou only knew about it not long ago, and he has seen it, but I have never seen it. ”

"Yes." Xuanyuan Shengcai was very sure: "Haven't you forgotten the Iron Blood Garden? ”

Chu Huan was stunned, he naturally did not forget the Iron Blood Garden, the Iron Blood Garden is located in the Great Qin Imperial Palace, it is the place where His Majesty the Emperor practices martial arts, when Chu Huan first entered Beijing, he passed three levels in the Iron Blood Garden, and his skills were shocked.

"Could it be that the Overlord Sword was also in the Iron Blood Garden that day?" Chu Huan somewhat understood.

Xuanyuan Shengcai nodded and said, "But he is late, fortunately, the adults have also seen it." ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Feng Yuanpo, who has now been enshrined as a loyal and righteous marquis by the Holy Lord!" Xuanyuan Shengcai Shi Potian was shocked: "Don't you know, guarding the north of the empire, Feng Yuanpo, the governor of Hexi Province, is the overlord of the sky with three knives and four guns!" ”

"Feng Yuanpo?" Chu Huan was really taken aback this time, in fact, the so-called three knives and four guns to break the sky bow are just the eight masters assessed by laughter within the court, the court generals know a lot, but not all the world knows, Chu Huan heard the name of the three swords and four guns to break the sky bow for the first time, or from Wei Tianqing's mouth, he himself practiced knives, and naturally paid more attention to the people who practiced knives, he knew that the mad knife was the deceased Feng Hanxiao, and knew that Tian Hou, the guard commander of the prince's mansion, was a ghost knife, But he never thought that the sword was actually the Governor of Hexi Province, Feng Yuanpo, who was not ashamed to meet him.

Xuanyuan Shengcai seemed to understand Chu Huan's thoughts, and said: "My lord, although this Feng Yuanpo seems to be a sycophant, his ability should not be underestimated. Your Excellency, if he didn't have some means, how could the Holy Lord send him to Hexi Province and let him guard the northern gate of the empire? Feng Yuanpo's father was originally a mountain bandit, and later attached himself to the Shengshang, this father and son went into battle to kill the enemy, and they never ...... ambiguously! Speaking of this, he smiled strangely and asked, "Do you know what this father and son did in the past?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head.

Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes showed a bit of contempt, "Feng Yuanpo's father, before entering the mountain as a bandit, was a slaughterer of dogs and pigs, was a butcher, accumulated some family assets, and then the world was in turmoil, and the heroes rose together, he Lao Tzu scattered all his family wealth, pulled up a group of people, occupied the mountain as bandits, burned and looted, and when the holy army arrived, the Feng family father and son immediately attached themselves to the saint, and since then, the father and son have charged forward in every battle, and have made a lot of achievements, the saint is very appreciative of this father and son, and has always felt that this father and son are honest and ......! Speaking of this, the corners of Xuanyuan Shengcai's mouth couldn't help but sneer.

Chu Huan listened carefully, but thought in his heart that the Feng family's father and son were born as market butchers, but they were able to take advantage of the situation, and then follow the trend, seize the opportunity, die to win the future, and change from the market butcher to today's feudal officials, no matter what, the vision and courage of this father and son are not comparable to ordinary people.
