Chapter 21: The Ship Tyrant
The carriage drove over an old bridge made of wood and stone, which looked sturdy but was in fact loose, and they were completely unaware of the danger of the bridge, and there was no license plate at the head of the bridge, so they drove up defenselessly. The danger came, the broken part of the bridge could not hold such gravity, and it broke with a "creak", and the carriage got stuck in the middle and stopped, and slowly, the carriage could not be stabilized and had to be flipped down.
The woman sat on the side of the carriage and looked down, and there was a rolling river below, mighty, and I didn't know where it was going. The woman looked at Emperor Wuding in horror, and Emperor Wuding was also scared out of a cold sweat, he wiped the dense beads of sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only do it in a hurry. Xiao Gezi sat on the side, her eyes closed, clutching her chest, as if praying for something, and Tang Yi had never encountered such an accident, she curled up in a corner, her whole body trembling. Qiu Yue's face turned pale, and she looked like she was waiting to die.
The horse dragged forward with all his might, but the wheels were stuck in the crack and could not move, and the coachman jumped out of the carriage when he saw this, and called on the king to jump out of the carriage quickly. The woman who was sitting outside the carriage jumped down first, she stood guard outside the carriage, and shouted: "King, you get off the carriage quickly, I will help you down!" Emperor Wuding also jumped down and jumped down. Xiao Gezi and Qiu Yue jumped down in turn and stood on the intact side of the bridge. When Tang Yi was about to jump, the horse and the carriage fell from the rupture, seeing Tang Yi on it, but the body had sunk, Tang Yi also felt the abnormal situation, tears swirled in his eyes, and at this critical moment, the woman grabbed Tang Yi's hand, pulled her down with a hard pull, and quickly ran to the other side of the bridge. The horses and carriages sank through the break in the bridge, and they sank into the abyss, the surging river.
They were stunned at what had happened suddenly, but fortunately they had jumped out of the carriage in time, otherwise they would have perished in the middle of the river. The coachman was distressed to see that his beloved horse had died in vain. The water was so strong that the horses and carriages disappeared into the whirlpool in the blink of an eye.
"This bridge should not be left for long! Let's go! After Emperor Wuding finished speaking to them, he walked towards the bridgehead, and everyone followed him and walked quickly to the bridgehead. God bless, they all walked to the bridgehead safe and sound, the bridgehead is a green lawn, frightened, Emperor Wuding simply lay on the grass, looking at the clean blue sky and white clouds, extremely comfortable. "This thrilling scene just now seems to have happened in a dream!" Emperor Wuding seemed to be speaking to them as well as to himself.
"My horses, my horses!" The coachman suddenly remembered his fallen horse, and his heart was like a knife.
"Isn't it just a horse? I'll go back and buy you a fat and strong one. The woman said generously to him.
"My Ahei, it's not an ordinary horse, it's human!" The coachman shouted.
"So what? It's already drowned, what's the use of you being sad in vain? Autumn Moon reproached, and the coachman sat down on the grass with his head down and began to pull the grass to deflat.
"Hugh is messing around! The king is here, don't bother him! Little Grid criticized the coachman.
"It's not, it's not." The coachman stopped pulling weeds and sat there like a clay statue.
What to do now, the horses are gone, the carriages are gone. Just as Emperor Wuding and the woman were sitting on the grass at a loss, a galleon came from afar, and some men wearing strange clothes jumped out of the boat, and they jumped to the shore one after another, looking a little embarrassed. They all wore identical hats with colorful feathers stuck in the brim, and they looked crazy and didn't know what they did. Look closely at their faces, the expressionless, insensitive.
Encountering these strange people in this strange place can't help but be intimidating and unsettling. Emperor Wuding and the woman look at me, I look at you, and some bad premonitions germinate in my heart. "Hey! You guys are sitting here looking like you're homeless, so why don't you join us! A man at the front shouted at Emperor Wuding.
"What do you guys do?" Emperor Wuding walked up to him and asked.
"Beware! Don't get too close to people you don't know! Xiao Gezi quietly reminded on the side, he always thought about the personal safety of Emperor Wuding, for fear that something would go wrong if he was not careful.
"We are filth wardens, and whenever there is an accident, an unbreakable knot, or a trouble, it is suspected that there is a demon possessed by a monster or something unclean. We would all go to their homes and have a good time, in order to get rid of the evil spirits. The man at the front said.
"Stop talking nonsense! Where did the ghost come from in the world? Isn't that scaring yourself? Emperor Wuding said bluntly.
"If you talk nonsense, you are ruining our business and ruining our jobs." The man at the front was furious.
"Thirty-six plans, go for the best plan." Emperor Wuding thought that these people were of unknown origin and had done something outrageous, so he glanced at them, and they immediately understood, and walked together in the other direction of the meadow, wanting to leave here as soon as possible and get rid of those who drove away the filth. But those people were not pure-minded, and when they saw that Emperor Wuding sneered at their profession and disdained to join their ranks, they complained. They chased after them, blocking their way, with a fierce look.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Gezi stepped forward and scolded angrily.
"You can inquire, inquire, who are our Colorful Feather Black Devils? How many people respect you for doing the way of heaven and slaying demons, how can you withstand the white eyes of you? The one who seemed to be the leader at the front said indignantly.
"And what do you want?" The woman couldn't look any better, and said angrily. Qiu Yue and Tang Yi, two weak women, were so frightened that they didn't even dare to come out, they just hid behind.
"We don't want to do anything, we just can't swallow this breath!" The man at the head said.
"In that case, please give way!" Emperor Wuding said sharply.
The man at the head pointed to the woman and said, "Take her!" When some of his men heard this, they immediately surrounded her, who was at first a little timid, and the chariot she had brought with her had fallen into the river in the carriage. Later, I thought about it: "These people look evil, but after all, they are just some 'ghost seekers', and they must not know much about some unfathomable kung fu." So she cheered up and used her fists and kicks, beating a few people around her to the point that her nose and face were swollen and her flowers were falling, and some of her other subordinates were simply frightened when they saw this, they never expected that this ordinary woman in front of her was so good at kung fu, and she also had no eyes, and she actually provoked such a woman with extraordinary martial arts. So they retreated again and again, and after a while, they disappeared from their sight.
"It's a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds." Tang Yi looked at them and said.
