What Xie Shence feared didn't happen in the end.

And because it didn't happen, Xie felt that there was reason to be more worried.

No one knows what King Qi's dormant meaning is, and whether it will hide a greater degree of counterattack.

Half a month later, the Cai family's case was over. Cai Yong and the three sons of the Cai family committed the most serious crimes, and the family of four was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market ten days later, and the rest were sent to the northwest.

Unexpected results.

The deeper evidence that was originally prepared was not used at all. The Zhang family simply showed their faces in the process, which was just the icing on the cake, and it was not the expected send-off at all.

This made Xie Shence feel like he had punched the cotton.

But...... That's what makes it challenging.

Wouldn't it be too boring to achieve your goal casually?

The Cai family's case is closed, and the tasks given by the emperor are somewhat completed. At least the officialdom of Jiangnan County has cleared out a large number of people, and these vacated positions are what the emperor wants.

Unfortunately, I still didn't catch a big fish.

Thank God for the decree.

So one day at the end of September, the bored Wang Jiehua took Xie Shen to take a boat on the lake. Of course, there are not a few accompanying riders.

Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua made a canopy boat, and Wushan and Xie Di rocked their oars, swaying from the shallow water area to the deep water area.

Fishing.

This is Xie Shence's favorite water "sport".

Wang Jiehua also accompanied him. In fact, Wang Jiehua is still a girl in the end, although she is quiet and generous, but she still has innocence and childlike fun, so if it weren't for Xie Shence, she would definitely not be so patient.

Although Xie Shence was also forced to make a sad poem, Xie Shence also copied the first coping casually. He now knew that what he had thought was a good talent was nothing in ancient times. In later generations, if you can do a peaceful battle, it can be regarded as a good poem if the text is generally smooth, but at this time, even if the martial arts are in power and the literary atmosphere is not prosperous, Xie Shence's three-plate axe is not acceptable.

Since being questioned by Miss Lin last year, Xie Shence has made up his mind not to write poetry until the last resort, and even if he wants to write poetry, it must be plagiarism.

Anyway, you don't know Li Du, let alone Su Xin.

So after Xie Shence was forced to chant a song by Liu Yuxi, "I say that autumn is better than the spring dynasty", although Wang Jiehua judged it to be out of place, complaining about how to make the sad autumn an atmosphere, but it can be regarded as coping with the past.

After Xie Shence caught a few fish, Wang Jiehua fell asleep. As the saying goes, spring sleepiness and autumn lack of summer nap hibernation, this is the afternoon, Wang Jiehua originally wanted to swim in the lake with Xie Shence, and didn't want Xie Shence to really love fishing, just to talk to her, so soon, Wang Jiehua was going to fall asleep.

Xie Shence saw that she was crumbling, so he ordered Osan to go back.

When a reed swung along, a gust of wind arose, and a reed flower flew, and in the distance a few waterfowl swept low, and a cormorant with a fish swam by.

Xie Shence woke up Wang Jiehua, and Wang Jiehua was in a good mood for a while.

So Xie Shence began to sing.

"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the reeds and flowers on both sides...... I'm used to seeing the white sails on the boat......"

"Hee-hee, what tune did the second brother sing? Nondescript, but with a flavor? ”

Xie Shence smiled: "Nonsense, this responds to the scene, right?" ”

Wang Jiehua grinned and said: "It's the right time, but I always feel like there's still an aftertaste." ”

"Then I will sing you a north, I am talking about a river in the north of Beiyan, called the Ussuri River, which is a tributary of the Heishui River."

"Okay, I'll listen."

"The Ussuri River has grown and grown...... The boat is full of fish and ......"

"This song has a regional tune compared to the previous one, but unfortunately I have never heard of this tune, and besides, the Heishui River of Beiyan ...... Isn't it quite barren? How did it become so beautiful in the lyrics of the second brother? ”

Xie Shence couldn't answer for a while.

Too excited, isn't it?

It's self-justifying.

So Xie Shence was ready to explain to Wang Jiehua.

Just when Wang Jiehua was about to listen to Xie Shence's explanation, something happened suddenly.

Xie Shence leaned forward, pressed Wang Jiehua down in the cabin, and rolled into the canopy by the way. Where the two of them were sitting just now, several crossbow arrows had already been inserted.

"Enemy attack!"

Wushan shouted out the moment Xie Shence pounced on Wang Jiehua.

Xie Di pulled out a shield from the board of the ship when Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua rolled into the cabin, and also rolled into the cabin, and the guard was in front of Xie Shence, and the shield tree was shot from the crossbow arrow.

After Osan shouted, a black firework rose into the sky with a terrible sound.

At the same time as this signal rose into the sky, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were fired, nailing to the canopy and bulkheads. A few of them also shot through the bulkhead made of bamboo strips.

Immediately, black smoke came out of the reeds, and the black smoke quickly turned into flames, and the dry reeds instantly crackled and burned.

Several fishing boats hurriedly came over and covered Xie Shence's tent boat to retreat into the deep water.

The autumn reeds had already ripened, and the large reed fields near the shore had been harvested, and the reeds were far from the shore, so it was here that the Assassins launched an attack before they could be harvested for a while.

As soon as you get out of this reed field, the ships of the Ti Cavalry will arrive, and the medium-sized warships will be able to arrive quickly and play their role, and the time will be complete to wipe out these killers.

Xie Shence protected Wang Jiehua under him, and secretly said that he was an assassin of the Erli people?

The timing of this choice is really ingenious, and I am afraid it is also a temporary idea, which can be called a stroke of genius.

Xie Shence thought as he peeked behind him through the small hole shot by the crossbow arrow, but his vision was already narrow and blocked by several small boats, so he couldn't see anything.

Then Xie felt a jolt from the bottom of the boat.

Xie Shence was horrified. He is a person who is familiar with "Water Margin" and knows how Gao Yu was caught!

Someone is digging the bottom of the ship.

With a knife in both hands, Osan shouted as he unswiped the crossbow arrows, "Draw outward!" Support is coming soon! ”

Xie Shence propped up his body, and then said to Wang Jiehua: "Follow the sixth brother!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Wang Jiehua to respond, Xie Shence poked his head out and shouted: "If you know how to go into the water, there are water ghosts scuttling boats!" ”

How can a Tiqi envoy who has been lurking on the side of Taihu Lake for many years not know water? So after thanking Shence and shouting, immediately a few people took off their shirts and bit the sharp knives and went into the water. Xie Shence also ripped off his civilian clothes and jumped into the water.

The enemy should have made a decision on the fly, otherwise he would not have been inattentive to the direction of the wind that set the fire. Because after the fire, the wind direction is poopy, although it will not burn the arsonist, but the impact of the fireworks on Xie Shence's side is indeed greatly reduced.

Xie Shence jumped into the water, and sure enough, there were two water ghosts under the boat, and the bottom of the black boat had been chiseled into a large wooden hole with white flowers, but it was estimated that it would take a while to completely chisel through.

There were also many figures underwater, roughly estimated to be a dozen people, and in groups of two or three they were digging into the bottoms of several small boats. The underwater vision was not very clear, and Xie Shence also saw pieces of wood chips that surfaced.

There were also people on the boat who jumped down, and after entering the water, they could not hear the sound, and they brought up large white blisters.

Xie Shence has been in Chuzhou for ten years, and the water nature is naturally quite good, otherwise he would not have been pulled to the river to cut the waves at a young age. Chopping the waves, the situation is much more dangerous than it is now.

Seeing someone in the water, one of the water spirits swam over with a sharp knife in his hand, and the other was still chiseling vigorously under the boat.

Xie Shence pulled out the Hanlu dagger from his lower arm with his right hand, pulled out the dog and leg knife from the side of his thigh with his left hand, and set up the sharp knife that the man stabbed over, and his right hand stabbed the man's abdomen.

The man was stabbed, instinctively opened his mouth to exhale, this mouth, the lake water poured into his mouth and nose, causing a spasm, Xie Shence stabbed him in the chest again, the man struggled a few times, and then sank to the bottom of the lake.

Although the reeds were shallow, the water was also a foot or two deep, so the man slowly sank, and his body brought out a blood-colored ribbon, and then disappeared. The water ghost who scuttled the bottom of the boat abandoned the chisel and swam towards Xie Shence.

Xie Shence kicked the water, dived underneath him, dodged the hammer that smashed on his head, and then crashed into the man's arms, and the dog and leg knife in his left hand turned upside down, bringing out a piece of red under the crotch of the water ghost. As soon as the man's body curled up, the dagger in Xie Shence's right hand passed through his jaw. Xie Shence kicked the man away, floated to the surface of the water to change his breath, and dived into the water again.

Fighting underwater is very strenuous, and if the oxygen can't keep up, it's easy to get out and suffocate.

When Xie Shence looked up, he saw that several small boats had been surrounded, but fortunately, the number of the other party was not much, and the tactics of three people were enough to deal with it, and the six or seven people who had launched the water had almost solved a few water ghosts underwater.

Then there was a cavalry envoy who began to treat others in his own way.

Xie Shence is a canopy boat, although it has a canopy, but the hull is not large, but compared to the rest of the fishing boats, it can be regarded as a huge thing at this time, and the target is obvious. And the killer rode in small boats, fast, but small and light.

Xie Shence swam to the back of a boat, then grabbed the side of the boat, then sank his body, slammed the boat, shook the boat, and dived into the water again.

The men on the boat were unsteady on their feet, and in an instant several of them were planted in the water, and they were held down one by one by the horsemen guarding the water, and they bled in the water.

With this tactic, the situation was quickly brought under control.

Xie Shence surfaced, Xie Di hurriedly put on the robe on Xie Shence, and Wang Jiehua also tore off a piece of the corner of his clothes to bandage the wound on Xie Shence's arm.

Xie Shence was still a little injured under the water just now, but the wound was not deep, and after comforting Wang Jiehua for a few words, he ordered to rush back at full speed.

Wang Jiehua was obviously frightened, her body trembled slightly, and her face turned even paler after seeing Xie Shence's injury. However, she also knew that she could not help much at this time, so although she was afraid, she still squeezed out a smile to signal that she was okay, and then sat down quietly in the cabin.
