"Put the lights out!"

Just as the boat that Zuo Feng and the others were riding was moving forward, Zuo Feng suddenly saw that there were faint lights on the upper reaches of the river. As soon as his heart moved www.biquge.info he immediately turned around and said loudly to Amber.

Although Amber didn't know what Zuo Feng meant, what happened tonight was a little weird everywhere, and there were some things that Amber hadn't figured out until now. However, he immediately extinguished a wind lamp in the ship's body as Zuo Feng commanded.

Both large and small boats need lights at night. Although the Ye Xuanjiang River is extremely wide, it is sometimes inevitable to encounter places where the water is in danger of rapids, and if you can't clearly grasp the situation in the water, the boat capsized and people die from time to time.

Although some people have cultivation in their bodies, there are also some warriors who do not understand water, and they have cultivation after falling into the water but cannot save themselves. In addition, the boats traveling back and forth on the Yexuan River are carrying some valuable goods, so the people who sail will be very careful, especially at night, they will use wind lamps to illuminate the surroundings.

Large ships sometimes need several or even a dozen wind lanterns to illuminate them, but the small boat that Zuo Feng is riding on has only one wind lantern, which can only barely illuminate the range of three or four feet around the boat.

Soon after the lights of the boat were extinguished, everyone's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness around them, and they also saw the flickering lights on the river in the distance. The ships that can appear at this moment, and it seems that they are still approaching the docks, it is self-evident that they must have come to participate in the battle.

Except for Zuo Feng, the three people subconsciously set their eyes on Zuo Feng, because they should have discovered Zuo Feng's appearance a long time ago. Zuo Feng shook his head instead, and said helplessly: "I can't see the origin of this ship, I can only judge from the number of wind lanterns that it should be a three-masted ship, and there should be four." ”

Several people immediately turned their eyes to the dark river again, and as far as their eyes could see, they could only vaguely identify three or four lights, and the other things that Zuo Feng said could not be seen clearly at all.

Seeing that several people were still looking at him with inquiring eyes, Zuo Feng spoke again: "No matter which side these ships belong to, it will make the situation in the new county city even more chaotic, so we must leave at full speed now." And if you can't sail in the middle of the river, Amber will work hard for you, and let's try to sail on the north shore for the first part of the road. ”

Several people nodded subconsciously after listening to what Zuo Feng said, they didn't want to be discovered now, so they could only put out the lights, and sticking to the north shore without lighting was probably the best choice. But it is not yet known whether any enemy will continue to rush this way, so everyone can only try to lean on the south bank in the hope of staying away from right and wrong.

Amber nodded heavily, everyone wants to leave the confines of the new county town, there is still a short waterway to walk, and anything can happen during this period. The best way to get everyone on the road at night while recuperating for any change is to take a boat and keep going.

Without the illumination of lights, he could only rely on his eyes to try to observe his surroundings as hard as possible in the dark night, and Amber naturally understood the weight of the burden on his shoulders. Amber adjusted the rudder slightly, and the boat leaned back again slightly towards the south shore.

During this process, Amber had been listening attentively, and although Zuo Feng was very confident in his eyesight, he didn't know anything about boating. However, he was very curious, and at this time he was paying attention to Amber's every move.

Amber leaned the boat towards the north shore, and the only change in the sound was that the sound of the boat breaking was gradually changing from low to soft. After a little thought, Zuo Feng understood that Amber should be able to judge the distance between the bottom of the boat and the bottom of the river by the sound of the water, of course, the shallower the water, the more likely it is to hit the bottom.

At one point, Amber's rudder jerked back, and then the ship slowly changed direction and sailed horizontally along the shore. Zuo Feng couldn't help but nod secretly, Amber did have a good strength in manipulating the boat, and at this time, their boat was less than two feet away from the south shore.

The left wind was not too fast, and the lights behind them were getting brighter and brighter, and even the outlines of the first and second ships could be seen. It's just that there are no iconic flags on the ship, so it's not known what kind of force the other party belongs to.

At this time, Zuo Feng suddenly frowned and looked ahead, and then whispered: "Don't make a sound, let's lower the sail slowly, it seems that our luck is really bad." ”

Not long after Zuo Feng finished speaking, in the darkness ahead, there were also a few lights, needless to say, there was a ship like this approaching. At this time, there was no need to say more about the left wind, Amber and Amber had already lowered the sails, and everyone subconsciously lowered their bodies, nervously looking at the lights that were constantly approaching in front of them.

When they were far away, they felt that the hull of the ship coming on the opposite side should be very large, and when they saw it clearly, they found that it was a three-masted ship, as Zuo Feng said, and there were as many as five ships. The draft of the big ship is very deep, and it can be judged that the cargo carried on the ship is very heavy, and of course, it is more likely that there are many warriors on board.

The large ships were running in pairs on the river, completely occupying the main channel, and the speed was not too fast because it was going upstream, and the wind direction was not smooth.

On both sides of the big boat, eight wooden oars more than two feet long stretched out, and the wooden pulp beat the water rhythmically, allowing the big boat to go up the current and go straight to the direction of the new county wharf.

When Su Yan saw the wood pulp next to those big ships, he couldn't help but say to himself: "It's a big ship of the empire, how can it be?"

As she said this, her body straightened up unconsciously, but a hand pressed lightly on her shoulder. Su Yan turned her head in surprise and glanced at her, and when she saw Zuo Feng looking at her with a solemn face, she slowly shook her head, signaling her not to make any moves.

Zuo Feng frowned and glanced at the big ship that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly whispered to Amber: "Quickly turn the boat around, use the bow of the ship to face their big ship, and at the same time put the iron anchor down to stabilize the ship." ”

Amber is also an expert in sailing, and after hearing Zuo Feng's warning, he immediately understood, and his face showed a sudden look, and he hurriedly moved the rudder according to Zuo Feng's words.

Amber had almost laid the ship across the river, and as soon as he threw the anchor into the water, the two three-masted ships in the first row slowly sailed by. Eight huge wooden pulps smashed into the water in unison, and the waves brought by the big boat against the current directly set off a wave nearly one zhang high and rushed towards the boat.

It was only at this time that Amber and Plain Makeup understood why Left Wind would ask Amber to do this. The waves crashed towards the bow of the boat, sending it straight to the crest of the wave, and a small half of the water smashed directly into the cabin. Even so, the three of them did not make any sound as Zuo Feng commanded, and each of them grabbed the side of the ship with both hands to stabilize the center of gravity.

Soon the two three-masted boats in front of them drove over, and then the two followed, and the four people in the boat had to take a bath in the river because of the big wave that had been set off again.

These three-masted ships are lit with wind lanterns, illuminating the surroundings as bright as daytime. Fortunately, the warriors on the boat all paid attention to the Xinjun Wharf in Jiangbei, and did not pay any attention to the direction where Zuo Feng and the others were, otherwise as long as one person looked down, he would be able to see their small boat.

The last boat was moving very slowly, and as he drove along, the left wind instinctively felt an invisible pressure spread out of the boat.

'A strong man in the refining period. ’

Zuo Feng was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously looked up at the big ship, but except for some people who looked like martial artists, he couldn't see where he looked like a strong person in the God Refining Period.

Among the few people on this ship, maybe only Zuo Feng could feel the existence of the powerhouse of the God Refining Period, or it was the mental power exploration of the powerhouse of the God Refining Period, which made Zuo Feng naturally feel it. But Zuo Feng didn't dare to make any changes, and he had to pretend to be frightened like everyone else.

Fortunately, except for Amber who has reached the tempering stage, the remaining three people, including Zuo Feng, are all martial artists in the bone refining stage. This kind of strength was not taken to heart by the people on the ship at all, and the feeling of being watched by people disappeared in just an instant, and Zuo Feng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the mental power of the powerhouse of the God Refining Period stayed on the ship for a while, maybe he would really find the faint mental power fluctuations on Zuo Feng's body.

As soon as the ship had passed them, Amber pulled out his anchor and sailed swiftly downstream, before the left wind could speak. The advantage of a small boat is its flexibility, as it sails downwards with the wind and water, and is not much slower than on horseback.

Everyone only breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and when everyone looked back, they found that the big ship that had just sailed past had already stopped on the river at this time, completely blocking the position of the dock, and they looked like they were closing the door and beating dogs, not ready to let go of any ship leaving from the sea.

Seeing this, Su Yan couldn't help but show a puzzled look, and turned his head to look at the left wind on the side. Zuo Feng looked over there silently, and only spoke for a while: "Your guess may not be wrong, but I won't trust anyone under the current circumstances. And you can see the situation over there, the new county town is much more complicated than you think. ”

Su Yan pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes looked at the direction of Xinjun Wharf with some complicated eyes, or his eyes were on the five big ships that drove over at the end. Zuo Feng can somewhat guess some of the thoughts in his heart, but he knows that the truth has not been revealed yet, and it is difficult for him, an outsider, to say anything.

There were four people in a boat, and they were already soaked at this time, but fortunately, everyone's cultivation was good. Although the autumn wind in the night of the Xuanwu Empire blew on the wet clothes, there was a kind of joy in everyone's hearts, and they didn't care too much about this bit of bitterness.
