Chapter 57: The Besieged Castle

When the sleeping creatures were awakened by Ah Hu, the sky was already bright, and they opened the curtain to see that the sky was full of dark clouds, the mountains and fields were drizzling, and thousands of mountains and ravines were shrouded in boundless smoke.

To their astonishment, the river below had reached the bottom of the gondolas parked on the hillside, and the small river of yesterday had now become a wide lake, with a white mist and unfathomable depth.

Kapok said happily: "Hey, we are a blessing in disguise, today we can row on the spot and go to Princess City." ”

"The river rises and falls, and we are not familiar with it, so we have to travel lightly," Kabayashi said. We immediately removed all the unwanted parts of the hull and left them here. ”

Zhen'er said, "Hey, I'm very hungry, Kapok, do you want to go hunting and catch a fat bird, eat the bird's meat, and then leave." ”

Kapok Zi glanced at the misty wasteland, touched the head that was still wrapped in the wounded cloth with his hand, and said: "Zhen'er, I am now a wounded and sick, and I am much hungrier than you, but I don't want to stay on this terrible mountain for a while, I would rather go to Princess City hungry, we are the messengers of the King of Heaven, and the King of Guhe will definitely set up a banquet to entertain you, and you can eat as many delicacies as you like when you enter Princess City." ”

Kapok's words expressed the common aspirations of all living people, and Ah Hu was unwilling to stay here, because if there was another fierce beast attacking him, he would be helpless.

Shanglin let Ah Hu rest and conserve energy, and he led his other companions to fight hard for more than two hours to dismantle all the parts and facilities that were not needed inside and outside the ship, and then several people worked together to push the ship into the deep water.

When the hull of the ship is completely floating on the water, everyone gets on the boat and sits down. Uebayashi and Kapok each rowed one after the other with a piece of pulp in their hands, and the boat slowly entered the middle of the river and then headed down the fog-shrouded mountain pass.

As the river narrows, the speed of the water increases, and the hull accelerates.

"Hold on!"

As soon as the warning sounded from the forest, a torrent suddenly surged upstream of the river, and the hull of the ship rushed downstream like a wild horse on the loose.

Amid the exclamations of the passengers on board, the ship had already passed through several dark valleys.

In the midst of the dizzying and trembling madness, the eyes of the people suddenly lit up, and the hull of the ship rose and fell into a wide river and came to a standstill, and the splashing waves turned into a torrential downpour, and the people on board became chickens.

The boys looked back and were stunned to see a long waterfall hanging from the mountain pass that had just fallen.

"Splash water! The ship is sinking! ”

Kabayashi's shout woke up the people who were looking at the waterfall in a daze, and when they looked down, they saw that the cabin was soaked with water, and the boat was swaying and sinking on the water.

Several people hurriedly splashed water with spare wooden scoops, and the hull of the boat slowly floated up.

Shang Lin wiped the sweat on his face with his hands and said with joy: "This big river should be the Valley River, as long as we go downstream, we will soon reach Princess City."

There is no need to row a boat as the river flows downstream, and the current carries the boat downstream quickly.

The boat walked alone on the water for about ten miles, and Ah Hu was the first to observe an unusual sight in the rain and fog ahead.

"A large number of ships are moored in the water ahead!" Ah Hu reminded loudly.

Before the companions could talk, Ah Hu's voice rang out: "A castle has been found on the riverbank!" ”

"Hey, Ah Hu, why don't you just say that Princess City has arrived?" Kapok asked with a smile.

"Because I'm not sure this castle must be Princess City." Ah Hu said in a serious tone.

The cybarians let out a laugh of pleasure.

In a few moments, everyone on the boat could see that the river ahead was filled with countless boats, and the shadow of a castle on the left side of the river bank loomed in the fog.

Shanglin shouted: "Kapok, hurry up and row to the left shore, Princess City is there!" ”

Kabayashi and Kapok struggled to paddle the pulp to the left of the boat, and then the boat crossed a huge arc across the water, approaching the river bank on the periphery of many boats.

The river was almost level with the riverbank, and the people on board made it to shore without much difficulty, and Kabayashi tied the cable at the bow of the boat to a large tree on the bank of the river.

The towering walls of the castle were clearly visible, but the sight was unusual for several travelers from afar.

The boats moored on the river were almost the same size and appearance, and they were all empty. On the bank of the river, more than 100 meters away from the city wall, there is an identical gray-white tent with no end in sight, and the black and white flags are waved on the tents, while the flags fluttering above the city wall are yellow and red.

Several people paused to watch and watched for a while, and they all felt that something was wrong with the princess city in front of them.

"Is there any fun activity going on in Princess City, such as the exhibition that Kapok said? ”

"I think the boats on the river are all warships, and if you see the flags on the walls are different from the flags on the tents, this princess city may be surrounded by enemies." Kabayashi said thoughtfully.

"Hey, you're saying there's a war here? But there was not a single soldier around. Kapok's mood immediately became excited.

Zhen'er said: "Kapok, you still need to ask, because it is raining, and the soldiers are hiding in the tent!" ”

Wang Fan was very nervous in his heart, because their protector Ah Hu was now in a state of lack of energy, and he said to Ah Hu: "I didn't expect to encounter a war as soon as I arrived in Qizhou. Hu, do we still want to enter this princess city? ”

Ah Hu said: "Our destination is Princess City, since we are here, we have to go in, you need to replenish food, I need to wait for the weather to be sunny to replenish energy." ”

Shang Lin pulled out the sword in his waist and said, "Ah Hu is right, as long as possible, we will go into the city to find the King of Guhe." Walk! Let's find out what's going on first. ”

There was a wide dirt road on the shore, and Shanglin took the lead, and several people marched in a column towards the castle.

Wang Fan said worriedly: "What if the besieging people don't let us enter the city? Ah Hu doesn't have much energy, so he can't fight. ”

Kapok, who followed behind Wang Fan, said: "If anyone stops us, we will say that the messenger of the King of Heaven wants to enter the city to find the King of Guhe and has urgent business, and they dare not let me enter the city." ”

Zhen'er had already hid in the bag on Wang Fan's back, she looked back at Kapok Zi and asked, "Hey, Kapok, what if you say that the Heavenly King's envoy still won't let us enter the city?" ”

Kapok waved the sword in his hand and said firmly: "Let's go into the city!" ”

Zhen'er became even more worried when she heard this, "What if you can't beat them?" ”

Kapok Zi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Zhen'er, then it's all up to you, you just jump on their tent and shout loudly, the besiegers will definitely be scared to death by you, and then we can enter the city." ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh.
