At this time, the position on the left side of the trapped dragon beach, that is, the two gorges of the mountain connecting the Surabaya Pass, is this mountain, in a forest under the mountain, there are densely packed with 100 houses, from a distance, there are human figures in the houses, and from time to time they will walk out of the inside.

In a relatively large room, there are three people sitting cross-legged at the desk, on which are placed all kinds of wine and meat, which are extremely delicious and beautiful.
The man sitting at the top was about twenty-four or five years old; Those sitting on the left and right sides are older than the former, and both have beards, and they are estimated to be no less than thirty-five years old.
But although the two of them are older, their identities don't seem to be as tall as the young man with clear eyebrows, so they sit a little shorter below.
"Report..."
Suddenly, a young man dressed as a servant ran in.
"A large group of officers and soldiers have come from outside the Sleepy Dragon Beach, and they are trying to pass..."
Before the man finished speaking, a middle-aged strong man with a face of Chinese characters said, "Don't worry about them, step down." ā
"Wait." The young man sitting above spoke.
The two people on the left and right looked at him, and one of them said, "Third brother, you don't want to think about the idea of fighting officers and soldiers, right?" ā
"Why not?" The young man smiled slightly.
Several people in the room were startled at the same time, and even the little guy who was kneeling on the ground trembled all over.
The young man asked, "How many officers and soldiers have come?" ā
The little guy smiled bitterly: "It's endless, you can't see the end at a glance, I'm afraid it's not less than tens of thousands... It's not right, it should be more than 100,000! ā
The young man got up, looked at the two people on the left and right, and said, "Big brother, second brother, let's take a look together." ā
"Okay."
......
The three of them set off immediately, about half a cup of tea after coming to the river, from here, you can clearly see every move on the Yangtze River, only to see countless ships docked outside the trapped dragon beach, endless, vast.
Especially the three giant ships at the front, everyone was stupid, and it was the first time they had seen such a tall ship in the world.
"Oh my God, third brother, look, those three ships are really big, how did they come out."
The young man took a deep breath and said, "It takes at least several years to build such a big ship, and it costs countless manpower and financial resources; It seems that this should be the elite sailor of the imperial court. ā
Looking at the endless ships, he continued: "There are at least tens of thousands of troops here, what a big show. ā
"So many people, how much food must be there, if it can fall into our hands... The young man's words made everyone look stunned, but then he rolled his eyes again, and the strong man with a Chinese face said: "Third brother, there are so many officers and soldiers, I think it's better to forget it, send someone to pull up the iron rod and let them go." ā
"The big bosses are looking at it, they have a boat coming."
Suddenly, someone said.
The young man pressed down with both hands, motioned for everyone to squat down, and then said, "Don't move, I'll see if they have the ability to get over." ā
"Third brother, don't get into trouble, if you let them know that the passage is blocked by an iron rod under the water, won't it expose us?" The strong man with the face of the country said.
There is also a middle-aged man with a stubble on his right hand, his appearance is more exaggerated than the appearance of the national character face, the kind that makes people tremble at a glance, and makes people know that he is a reckless man at a glance.
He said: "The second brother is wrong, what if there are many officers and soldiers, are we still afraid that they will not succeed?" Hmph, when it comes to this water kung fu, we haven't been afraid of anyone. ā
The strong man with the national character face said: "Big brother, it's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, but..." ā
"Okay, don't quarrel with the two eldest brothers, whether you clean up the officers and soldiers or not, I have the final say!"
The youth said.
And as soon as he said this, both of them obediently closed their mouths, and even the strong man with the face of the Chinese character swallowed back only half of the words.
At this time, I saw a medium-sized boat coming slowly from a distance, and after a short time, it entered the Sleepy Dragon Beach, and then stopped at the place where the current was most turbulent.
There were about a hundred or so people on the medium-sized boat, all naked and with hemp ropes tied to them, as if they were about to go down the river.
Seeing this, the young man said, "Go get some paint to pour into the river, disturb their vision, be stunned, go quickly." ā
"Yes."
The little guy from before left quickly.
.......
Time passed minute by minute, after the tea.
On the medium-sized boat, Lu Chang said to the dozen or so soldiers in front of him: "You all tie the rope tightly, I will tie the other end of the rope to the boat, and then you will jump down from here and see what is blocking here, whether you see it or not, after sixty breaths, I will pull you up, there must be no danger to your life, understand?" ā
More than a dozen soldiers said in unison: "Understood." ā
"Okay."
Lu Chang pointed to the underside of the nail plate and said, "Listen to my orders.... ā
Everyone is ready at this time.
Lu Chang said: "Jump." ā
Everyone took a deep breath and rushed in...
These dozen or so people were personally selected by him, and they were all excellent in water, and holding their breath for sixty breaths was nothing to them at all.
Thump... Thump...
After everyone went into the water, Lu Chang counted on it.
No one noticed that in a corner of the river, someone had already begun pouring paint into the river, and the amount was so large that it was enough to make the already muddy river even more muddy, or even impossible to see at all.
After sixty breaths, Lu Chang pulled everyone up, but none of the dozen or so people could tell what was underneath, anyway, they were confused and couldn't see anything clearly.
"What does it smell like?"
Lu Chang looked at the soldiers who were panting in front of him, and sniffed them all on their clothes.
"Paint?"
"General, please see." Suddenly, a soldier pointed to a man beside him and said; Lu Chang looked at his hand and saw that the man's clothes had a little blood red color.
Lu Chang stepped forward and took a closer look at the blood-red color, and finally confirmed, the pigment!
"Someone upstream!"
Lu Chang said, and when he said this, his eyes kept looking at the top of the Sleepy Dragon Beach.
"Go, go back."
.......
With a wave of Lu Chang's hand, the medium-sized ship slowly retreated, and it didn't take long for Ling Feng to come to the giant ship where Ling Feng was.
Lu Chang boarded the giant ship and came to Ling Feng's side.
Ling Feng said, "How is it?" What did you find? ā
Lu Chang looked depressed: "It's a mess underwater, and I can't see anything clearly..." ā
"I say, work in vain."
"General, don't worry." Lu Chang said: "Although I didn't see anything underwater, but after the soldiers came up, there was a peculiar smell on their bodies, and the general found that it was the smell of paint, and someone upstream must be putting paint, interfering with our vision." ā
Pigment?
Ling Feng was taken aback, and said in his heart: "Could it be that Wei Ning has already discovered that a large army is heading towards the three northern counties, and then sent people to make trouble?" ā
After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head slightly, since the imperial capital set off, he has always been cautious, if it wasn't for a deliberate investigation, he would never have been able to find a large army going up the river.
"General, what should we do now?"
Lu Chang asked.
Lu Wen on the side said: "The last general suggested, let's find out who is upstream first, let's go to five hundred soldiers first, take a small boat up, we will definitely find out." ā
"Well, that's it." Ling Feng agreed, looked at the sky, and said, "In a few hours, it will be dark, and when it gets dark, we will set off." ā
"No." (To be continued.) )
