Chapter 18: The Fall of the Drunken City
The penny was lightly tapped, and the boat moved forward silently. Whatever this place was, she had to leave as soon as possible.
Going back the way she came from was the only thing she could think of.
On the shore, you can't go. If it was really in Mozhou, Xiongxian County, the two of them appeared coldly among the soldiers guarding the city, and their identities were unknown and they must have been cut down immediately......
She glanced at Jin Youzi, who was still holding the wine jar, looking up at the moon for a while, and sighing at the water for a while, his consciousness was still unclear, and he couldn't count on it.
Seeing that the river was slowly widening, but the surroundings were still unfamiliar, Tong Fu's heart became more and more anxious.
The sound of the battle that suddenly remembered in the distance, and the sound of the collision with the weapon, startled her, and the penny in her hand almost slipped into the river. She did not dare to hesitate any longer, and rowed the boat faster along the reeds of the river.
Soon the sound of fighting and horses' hooves gradually approached, and more arrows swept past from time to time and landed on the surface of the river. The splash splashed Jin Youzi on his face, and he came to his senses, "What's the matter...... What's the matter? ”
Tong Fu leaned the boat closer and further into the reeds, "Be quiet! Fought a war......"
Jin Youzi was in a cold sweat, and most of the wine suddenly woke up, "Hit ...... Fight? How could there be a war in Jinling City? ”
"What Jinling City, what is Mozhou in Xiongxian County, I don't know who is fighting...... Tong Fu desperately followed the waterway when he came, and hurriedly supported the boat.
Jin Youzi pinched his thigh hard and screamed, "How can this be? Just ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a figure fly over the two of them and land heavily in the river. The armor on his body was still full of arrows, and it was full of crimson, and it quickly sank into the water.
"Lie in the boat, don't make a sound!" Kiri Fu shouted in a low voice.
Only then did Jin Youzi react and hurriedly hid in the canopy. But he only hid for a short time and ran out again.
Tong Fu was not angry, "You don't want to live anymore?" This is not a dream, this is a real war, and it will kill people! ”
Jin Youzi had already pulled up his sleeves, "Even if it's a war, how can you let a woman hold the boat outside, and I'll hide inside?" ”
She laughed, "Do you know how to hold the boat?" Or will there be a fight? If not, don't make a fuss. ”
Jin Youzi was a little sneering, obviously he wouldn't know the two things she said.
Suddenly there was a shout from the shore, "Report! The four gates of Xiongxian County have been broken, most of the 9,000 defenders have been destroyed, the remaining more than ten people are resisting at the west gate, and Yang Song has been captured......"
Then, Kiri Fu heard the familiar voice, "Open the west gate and let them go." ”
The person before was obviously stunned, and it took a long time to speak, "Temple...... Your Highness, are you going to let them out of the city? ”
Another voice scolded, "Don't go yet! ”
The soldier did not hesitate any longer, and urged his horse to gallop away.
"Your Highness, Tan Yuan has led a thousand people to lie on the Yueyang Bridge, just waiting for Pan Zhong to ......," said the man who scolded.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Zhu Di scold, "Who! ”
Zhu Neng hurriedly turned around and stopped King Yan behind him. But there was nothing to see in sight except for a sparkling waterway in the middle of the city.
"Let's go down and have a look." Zhu Di commanded in a deep voice, and he clearly heard movement from the waterway.
Jin Youzi felt that what he saw and encountered today was really incredible. Just look at the moment, I am being pinned to the bottom of the water by this girl called Tong Whisk, holding her neck.
He knew a little about simple swimming, but if he was pressed directly to the bottom of the river like this, could he live?
But he also knows that this is indeed the only way to survive at the moment.
From here, the shadows of soldiers on the water seem to be looking for something. From time to time, there are spears and sharp knives that plunge into the water, which is really thrilling.
Just when he felt that he was about to turn his back on his breath, he saw Tong Fu turn around and stuff him with a long water weed, and motioned for him to put it in his mouth.
Jin Youzi barely thought about it, and immediately stuffed the grass root into his mouth, only to see the other end of the grass floating high above the water. He suddenly realized and took a big breath.
After waiting for a while, seeing the figure disappear on the water, Kiri Fu let go of the hand holding his neck and motioned for him to go up.
Silence returned to all around, and only the distant shouts could be faintly heard.
"Is there any other way to do it than to continue along this waterway?" Kirisho half-asked, half-muttered to himself.
"If this is really Xiongxian, then I know better. There is a waterway in Xiongxian County, which is connected with the Baigou River outside. If you follow it, you will definitely be able to get out of the city. Outside the city should be the Waqiao Pass in Xiongzhou, and after the Great Wall embankment is the Twelve Bridges......" Jin Youzi changed his words late and gushed endlessly.
"You've been here?" Kiri was surprised.
"No, no, there is a record in the Xiongxian Chronicle." He said sincerely.
Tongfu is very staggering, he can tell a place he has never been to so clearly, but he has only read it in a book, he is really a talent......
Smacking his tongue, Tong Fu thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only way to escape from this already lost city. The two climbed into the boat, looked at the general direction, and followed the river all the way to the southwest.
Jin Youzi was silent for a long time, "Your Highness just now, is it King Yan?" ”
Kiri snorted.
"Why are we here? Coincidentally, he met King Yan attacking the court army again? This dream is really bizarre......" he seemed to mutter.
"Huh?" He suddenly turned to Kirifu, "Why don't you seem surprised?" Do you know King Yan? ”
Tong Fu's hand holding the penny trembled, "I don't know...... I don't know why......"
"Well, that's it, there happens to be you ...... in this dream" Speaking of this, Jin Youzi's face turned suspiciously red, "Ahem, abrupt and abrupt......"
Tong Fu was completely speechless, so he simply ignored him.
The first two times I went back after entering the water, and I dragged Jin Youzi into the water in a hurry, but I couldn't go back. Could it be that because this time I came by boat, I have to return by boat?
In their respective minds, the ship had reached a culvert, apparently where the waterway led out of the city.
Kiritsu was dumbfounded, the culvert was sealed by an arm-thick iron fence, even if their boat was narrow, it would never be able to pass.
After groping for the iron fence for a while, Tong Fu wanted to turn over and go into the water to check, but he heard a scolding not far behind him, "Who?!" ”
At this moment, if he wanted to press Jin Youzi into the water again, it was too late, and Tong Fu saw a team of people and horses appear on the bank by the river. The moonlight was clear, illuminating the two of them clearly, and there was nowhere to avoid it.
Tong Fu was about to speak, but his hand was suddenly caught by Jin Youzi, and he had already spoken: "Master Jun, the two of us are in the city, and we live in the streets and alleys of the Internet market. Tonight in the Mid-Autumn Festival, my cousin and I made an appointment here, only to hear the noise and hurriedly avoid here, hoping that the military master would be clear. ”
The leading sergeant turned around and asked, hearing that there really was such an online street in this city. Turning his head and looking at the two people on the boat, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, there are indeed many men and women who take advantage of this private meeting to express their love to each other. Look at the two standing side by side hand in hand, the man is polite and looks like a scholar, and the woman is beautiful and shy, hiding behind the scholar......
If it's ordinary, it's fine. But tonight the siege of the city, these two people just had a private meeting on the main road in and out of the city, and the sergeant really couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart.
At that moment, he raised his voice and said: "Come on, tie up the two of them immediately, this boat is just in use." ”
