Chapter 229: Chasing Soldiers

The captain of Wu screamed strangely, which startled the two Sima adults, and he scolded angrily: "Fuck, you kid is okay, what are you doing with the old chicken and cat, Cheng Xin is embarrassed to lose my face in front of Lord Lu Shuai?" ”

As he spoke, he wanted to slap the Wu Chang, but when he raised his hand, he saw that the Wu Chang did not dodge, nor did he ask for guilt, he still stared at the painting in his hand with both eyes, pointed to the portrait with one hand, and said in his mouth, unable to speak, the two Sima adults couldn't help but be taken aback, and shouted: "What's wrong with you, can't you be evil?" ”

The chief of the Wu ho for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "My lord, you say...... You said...... Who is on this portrait? ”

"Do you have donkey hair in your ears? Lord Lu Shuai said clearly, this is King Qingji of Wu Kingdom, is it still your father? ”

"Oh, my father!" The Wu Chang slapped his thigh, stumbled out a few steps, pointed to the river and shouted: "Chase, chase, Qingji...... Qingji is just ahead. ”

The brigade commander frowned and said, "What's wrong with this guy?" ”

The two Sima officials said with shame on their faces: "My lord forgives me, he ...... He used to be a shrewd person, and I didn't expect him to be insane. ”

Before the two Simas finished speaking, the pawn who had just spoken to Qingji caught up with two steps and looked at the image of the picture scroll, and shouted like a Wu Chang: "Lord Lushuai, Lord Liangsi, chase along the river, Qingji...... Qingji is really in front, right in front......"

The brigade commander and the two horses hurriedly asked him a few words, and the pawn explained the matter incoherently, and the brigade commander was shocked when he heard it: "I can't imagine what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, he ...... He really didn't die, and he was in my country! ”

Lord Liang Sima hesitated: "My lord, could it be just a person with a similar appearance?" ”

The brigade commander was stunned, and he couldn't be sure for a while, but he had to catch up and find out anyway. However, Yingtao led the army into the Yue country, because there are many feasible routes on land and water, and he must find his marching route in order to gather the army to annihilate it in one fell swoop, so the new general of the Yue country, Gaoru, sent various armies to the front of the main road of water and land to station, once the Yingtao people and horses were found, they had to bite them to death, and quickly notified the other people and horses to complete the encirclement. This brigade commander has such a mission. The entire defense line of the Yue Kingdom is spread out in a word, interlocking, dragnet search, once Yingtao touches a point of this web, people and horses from all walks of life will be like spiders that have caught food, and quickly pounce.

If they abandon this defense point to chase after that "Qingji", and the Wu people choose this route to kill in, then if a big hole is torn in this big net, the Wu people will completely break their border defense deployment and drill into the heart of the Yue country, as long as they continue to wander and fight, drifting like the wind, do not make head-on contact with the main force of the Yue people, and do not stay in one place for the night, they can be like entering a no-man's land, and the Vietnamese army will be like dancing with a hammer to beat flies, and it is not easy to be trapped and annihilated.

However, if that person is really Qingji, it is meaningless whether Yingtao this person exists or not, as long as he catches Qingji, it is a great credit, if he still sticks to this place according to the original order, if he gives away a big credit at his fingertips, how can this be good? The brigade commander was scheming, and he was so anxious that he was spinning around like ants on a hot pot.

"My lord, we should catch up and have a look."

"My lord, if you catch King Wu, it will be a miracle."

"My lord, we are seriously injured in luring and pinning down the enemy army, what should we do here?"

"My lord, if the man on that raft is really jealous, and he is alone, and he is wounded, he can be captured by sending only thirty or fifty soldiers. Humble and talented, I am willing to lead my subordinates to capture that man......"

The brigade commander didn't know that it was easy to catch Qingji at this time, and it would be enough to send a few strong men, the question was who caught Qingji with his own hands, there was no difference for Yue Guo, and it was very different for his personal future.

"Don't make any noise!" The brigade commander roared, stopped everyone, and turned sharply around the spot twice, after all, he couldn't give up the great credit at his fingertips: "The matter is big, and the brigade commander must personally chase and arrest the suspect." Listen! ”

He instructed the five pawn commanders who had just caught up: "Zuo Biao, you are the first pawn commander, and now you are temporarily taking the post of deputy brigade commander, and you are still stationed here, acting according to General Gaoru's orders. ”

A brigade commander has five men under his command, that is, five hundred. The first pawn is his confidant, but the fifth pawn commander has the same status, and he ordered Zuo Biao to temporarily take the post of deputy brigade commander and govern the other four pawns, and the four pawn commanders are all unhappy in their hearts. Zuo Biao thought that he would send his henchman to arrest King Wu, and he was eager to try on the sidelines, not wanting him to be the commander-in-chief, he would rather hand over the whole army to the command of others, but he went to grab the merit, and the boss in his heart was unwilling, but he didn't dare to show it, so he had to agree with his head down: "Don't worry, Lord Brigade Marshal, your subordinates will definitely complete the mission." ”

The brigade commander had completed the arrangement, so he couldn't wait to lead the group of men and horses who had seen Qingji, and chased down the river with dozens of personal soldiers.

"The little girl is very clever and acts well, otherwise, those people may not be able to dispel their suspicions." Qingji touched Xiaoguang's head and praised with a smile. The little girl didn't like people to touch her head, so she twisted her head away with a stiff neck.

A penny in Boss Shi's hand turned extremely fast, and the tips of the penny wrapped in copper skin at both ends took turns to point water on the left and right of the bamboo row, and a bamboo row arrow cut through the river like an arrow, and moved forward quickly.

Hearing Qingji's words, Boss Shi, who was a little frightened, turned his head and said, "Hey! This girl, if she doesn't grow tall, she will fool people when she hits a child. I remember that when she was just able to speak neatly, she was so hungry when she saw a string of salted fish hanging under the eaves of her neighbor Aunt Lu's house, she encouraged those friends who were three or four years older than her to take bamboo poles to steal salted fish, a string of salted dried fish, and let them eat all of them. The result was good, it was seen, Aunt Lu went from house to house to find their parents, and the boys who stole the fish were beaten by their parents, and she was ...... As if there was no one else, the aunt of the Lu family didn't come here, and I only heard from those boys later. At first, I was still wondering, I said how she drank water so hard that night, and her stomach was full of water. ”

Boss Shi said a light topic, and his subordinates didn't dare to slack off, just after being interrogated by the soldier, he was a little scared now, and just wanted to go as fast as possible.

Qingji listened to Boss Shi's words, smiled at Xiaoguang and said: "I can't see it, you little girl is still Tao'er, you are the one who came up with the idea, and you are the one who enjoys it, huh...... It's someone else who gets beaten, it's great, it's great......"

"Humph!" Hikari cocked her nose.

Boss Shi laughed and said, "She wasn't beaten? I don't know she did it, but ...... She still didn't run away from this beating. ”

Boss Shi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My little belly is round, my bed just broke down that night, it was like a big flood, I was so angry, I was so angry that I slapped her on the bed and slapped her buttocks, hey!" The purlin didn't go away for days......"

"Daddy ......", as soon as she said this kind of shame, Xiaoguang girl couldn't hold it on her face, she snorted at her father, her face was flushed, and her hands twisted the corners of her clothes, and she was stunned.

"Hehe, good, good, don't say it...... Hey? The smile on Boss Shi's face disappeared, he squinted his eyes, put his hand on the canopy and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but change his face greatly: "It's bad, why are so many people chasing after him?" ”

"What?" Qingji hurriedly turned his head to look back, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In the distance, along the river bank on the left, a sentry is rushing towards this place. Although I don't know if they are coming for themselves, but from the speed and direction of their running, Qingji intuitively knows that their target is themselves.

"There are still a few miles to go to Xilukou," Ambassador Shi Lao held up a penny and licked his lips nervously: "According to their pursuit of the law, they can't get out of Xilukou, what can I do?" ”

"Dad, Xilukou is a three-way waterway, they don't have a boat, let's go directly to the right when we get there, can they still swim and catch up?"

Boss Shi said hesitantly: "Sanlukou is a wharf, and they can't get a few boats?" Even if only a boatload of people catches up, the three of us ...... Can a crippled man, a seriously wounded, a girl's family beat them? ”

"Stop, don't go, stop!" The pursuers got closer and closer, shouting at them. At this moment, Boss Shi was willing to stop, and a penny windmill in his palm was like a left and right support, and the bamboo raft was as fast as an arrow from the string, rushing through the water waves from time to time across the raft.

"Tuk Tuk!" More than a dozen arrows flew in, most of them into the water, and three sharp arrows landed on the raft surface, inserting into the hard bamboo, and the tail of the arrow buzzed.

Qingji grabbed Xiaoguang, who was in a daze, hugged her in his arms, and made a meat shield for her with a broad back. The three sharp arrows were still trembling, and they let out a terrible tremor like a hornet's flight, and Xiaoguang's lips turned white in horror.

"Brother Shi, let's sail to the right bank!" Qingji shouted hurriedly to Boss Shi.

"If you are on the shore, how will you walk with your current injuries?" Boss Shi looked back as he spoke, and saw Qingji holding his daughter in his arms and using his body to block arrows for her, his expression moved slightly, and he added strength to his hand.

The sun was slanting westward, and the pursuers on the bank were getting closer and closer, but a section of the river bank in front of them was under a continuous low hill, the road was sloping and steep, and it was covered with shrubs and weeds, which hindered the speed of the pursuers.

Some sporadic fishing boats began to appear in front of them, and the mouth of the West Continent was about to arrive, where the river was gentle, and the river was wide, one hundred and fifty or sixty zhang wide, but the place where it was two zhang deep was only twenty or thirty zhang from the center of the river.

The mouth of the West Continent is formed by the confluence of three rivers, and the three rivers come together to form the river on which Keiji currently runs. The three rivers led to different cities in the Yue Kingdom. Generally speaking, the river wharf is a distribution center for goods and merchants, and it is usually very prosperous. In the case of Wu, its land and water wharves, people come and go endlessly, hundreds of ships come and go, even now the husband is poor, Qingji fights for the king, and the domestic war is endless, the business has never stopped, but the prosperity has declined. However, the Yue State was blocked by the Wu State from communicating with the princes of the Central Plains, and on its right side was the vast sea, and there was no sea at that time. On the left is the Mangshan Mountains of the Chu State, most of which are some Miaoyi barbarian tribes, so the commerce is extremely underdeveloped, so it is about to rush to the land and water wharf, but there is still not a single merchant ship, it is really deserted.

This riverbank is a sandy area, and the pursuers are chasing fast, the rain of arrows is whistling, and the sound of swishing on the water is endless. Boss Shi was short and was hurriedly supporting the raft, and suddenly screamed in pain, and was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

"Daddy!" Xiaoguang was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly rushed over, Qingji shouted: "Be careful! As he spoke, he chased her out in pain, and pressed her down on the raft, with a "tuk" sound, a sharp arrow grazed Xiaoguang's forehead and shot into the bamboo raft, and a few locks of hair stuck to the arrow shaft, life and death were only between a few hairs.

"Brother Shi, how are you?" Qingji covered his lower abdomen and shouted. With this force, his wound burst open, and some pain was unbearable.

Boss Shi turned around and tried to pull out the arrow, but the arrow was shot under the back shoulder blade, and his fingers could barely reach it, but he couldn't use the strength to pull it out.

After this delay, the pursuers had already chased after each other, and the Vietnamese brigade commander shouted viciously to the raft: "Dock immediately, otherwise you will be shot to death with arrows!" ”

Boss Shi was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, so he only used his right hand to support the penny, and rowed the raft towards the center of the river.

The commander of the Vietnamese army was furious and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

At this time, the sky is getting late, the wind is blowing from the right side of the bamboo raft, it is from west to east, blowing to the direction of the sea, the Vietnamese army is on the left, the arrows are shot to meet the direction of the wind, and the river surface here is wider, even if there are arrows falling to the raft, the strength and speed have become weaker, Qingji draws the sword in his hand, Shi Boss makes the penny with one hand, and the arrow can be pushed away, but they are also unable to quickly cut the raft away, and the two sides are deadlocked there.

"Chuanjia, you are my Yue Ren, why do you help Wu Ren, send him over quickly, this general will not correct the past, and you will be exempted from capital crimes."

Boss Shi replied in a loud voice: "General, this Wu person is a relative of the villain, not the Wu people, why should the adults move the people, and we and other small people can't get along, please raise your noble hand and let us go." ”

The brigade marshal originally had the meaning of clichés, although Boss Shi had also traveled in the army and seen some of the world, how could he compare with him in terms of scheming. He first insisted that Qingji was a Wu person, and Boss Shi followed his identification to cover it up, and the brigade commander heard that it was indeed a Wu person, and he was a little more sure of Qingji's identity, so he couldn't help but be very excited, and said busily: "Boatman, don't covet that person's little benefit, risk life and death to do illegal things, do you know who is on the raft?" Hey! That's Wu Guoqingji, Wu Guoda Wang Qingji, as long as you send him over, it will be a miracle, and then you will definitely be given a thousand gold, 100 acres of fertile land, it is very easy to be a company commander and township official, glory and wealth, how carefree, don't think about bad ideas. ”

"What?" When Boss Shi heard that he was in danger of falling off the bamboo raft, he looked at Qingji in shock, and his eyes glared at the boss: "You...... Are you the king of Wu? ”

"King of Wu?" Xiaoguang struggled to crawl out from under Qingji, and also widened a pair of round eyes: "Just you?" King of Wu! ”

Qingji looked at the chasing soldiers on the shore, and then at the father and daughter, and sighed: "Brother Shi, I'm sorry, I lied to you, yes, I ...... It's Wu Guoqingji! ”

Boss Shi's mouth opened and he couldn't close in astonishment for a long time, Xiaoguang looked at this Qingji in surprise and surprise, he really couldn't connect this very amiable big brother with the legendary and unspeakable prince. A small country folk like her, not to mention the king, even if it is a doctor, they will never have the opportunity to see one in their lives. And King Wu, that is ten times more powerful than the king of Yue.

The father and daughter were like a dream for a while, stunned and unspeakable.

On the shore, the brigade commander shouted loudly: "Boatman, Qingji must have an injury in his abdomen at this time, right?" It was a stab wound by the prince of our Yue Kingdom himself. As long as you send him ashore, I dare to guarantee that you will soar and be rewarded by His Royal Highness the Prince. If you help the enemy again, hey! Don't say that Qingji is simply hard to fly, you ...... Even your whole family will be tortured, you can't survive, you can't die! ”

Although the household registration system was not developed enough at that time, the people of the city could still clearly register and make records, and the wild people in the countryside, especially the woodcutters, fishermen and other wild people who did not have a fixed life for land cultivation, were completely black in today's words, and there was no way to find them, and it was actually difficult to find out the identity of the boss Shi, but for the small people, they did not know it, which was enough to shock people.

Boss Shi glanced at Qingji, and his eyes fell on his daughter again, with a slightly worried look on his face.

Qingji's expression was calm, and he said angrily: "Providence is like this, what can the husband say?" Brother Shi, you are just innocent people involved in it, and I won't bother you. Please put me over, with your help, let Qingji live for a few more days, after a few days of calm and tranquil no battles, no deceitful and deceitful, Qingji ...... Contentment. ”

He touched Xiaoguang's tender and smooth face, smiled at her, slowly stood up, threw the short sword in his hand on the raft with a bang, straightened his waist and walked to the front of the raft, and stood facing the sun. The afterglow of the setting sun was golden and translucent, reflecting on his hair, body, and face, as if gilded with a layer of gold.

"Hao Hao Bai Shui, Bai Shui Hao Hao. The boy is full of spirit and soars into the sky. Ambition is unpaid, and it is rare to get away. Hao Hao Bai Shui, Bai Shui Hao Hao. The boy is full of spirit and soars into the sky. Ambition is unpaid, and it is rare to get away with it......"

The deep voice was like a flute, slowly rippling on the wide river, and Xiaoguang stood sideways and looked at the man bathed in the golden sunset, as if looking at a god. His majestic figure at this time, his desolate singing voice, indeliblely reflected in her young heart.

"It's rare to be free, it's hard to be free......", the voice gradually deepened, Qingji looked at the distant mountains, his eyes crossed the leisurely water, over the soldiers who were like wolves and tigers on the shore, over the layers of mountains, over two thousand years of time and space, and suddenly clearly flashed in his mind the small field record of the busy running forward and running back to make a living in his previous life......

Wonderful and bland, mediocre and developed. Around a bunch of camera equipment and script materials, for a group of irrelevant men and women, busy arranging a play, until he himself became the protagonist of life, a group of hot-blooded men surrounded him, choreographed a life drama on the spring and autumn land, and several beautiful and lovely confidantes poured deep affection into him......

"I was accidentally sent to this empty field because of my death, if I die again, will I return to the future? If I had a choice, I would rather choose my current life first, even if it is only for a year, it will be more splendid than that hundred years......"

Looking at the Vietnamese soldiers on the shore, and then looking at Qingji standing on the raft, his eyes finally fell on his daughter, and the struggling Shi Boss pulled up the penny with difficulty, and the ripe penny seemed to be a thousand weights in his hand.

Then he slowly poked the penny into the water, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and drew a penny towards the Vietnamese army.

"Daddy......", Xiaoguang ran over and looked at his father with reproachful eyes. Boss Shi didn't have the courage to look at his daughter, he gritted his teeth, his cheeks trembled slightly, and he drew a penny.

"Uncle, I'm sorry......" Xiaoguang turned around with tears streaming down her face, gently holding the corner of Qingji's clothes, Qingji touched the silky hair on her head, this time, she didn't swing her head to avoid it.

"After all, history has not changed, everyone underestimated the hairless husband boy on his lips, as soon as I die, my power will inevitably collapse, and the one who wins the country will be the husband. Then, Gou Jian lay down and tasted the guts......"

Qing Ji thought about it suddenly, and when he woke up from his consciousness, he suddenly found that the bamboo raft was fixed in the water and did not move, and the Vietnamese soldiers who were waiting with bated breath on the shore also scratched slightly.

Qingji turned his head to look, only to see Boss Shi put the penny straight into the water, holding the penny with both hands, the green tendons on the back of his palms were tensed, and he didn't know how much strength he used, he looked down at the green water under his feet, and suddenly exhaled for a long time, and the bamboo raft resounded to the center of the river.

Qingji was surprised: "Brother Shi? ”

"King Qingji, I'm just a small people." Boss Shi looked a little excited, and said with a red face: "The biggest official Xiaomin has ever seen in his life is the commander of my department when I was in the army, I have never seen it, a naturally noble king...... Use his body to block arrows for a lowly civilian, just now, I was timid, you could have used the sword in your hand at that time, using my daughter as a hostage, coercing me to take you away, but you didn't ......, you want me to hand you over and save yourself. I can't do this, and if I do, even if I'm still alive, I'm not a human being, and my fellow villagers, even my wife and daughter, will be ashamed of me......"

"Daddy!" Xiaoguang looked at her father happily and laughed happily, with tears still shining on her face.

Boss Shi smiled and said, "I don't know, I can save you from leaving, it's just my heart!" As he spoke, he endured the headache in his shoulder, and held on again, swinging the boat towards the center of the river.
