I will be the king in troubled times Chapter 22 There is affection and righteousness and beard
After the Jijia ship merged with the Jizi ship, it hung behind the enemy ship unhurriedly, and even the throwing car of the Jizi ship opened fire, and then slowly evolved into a gunner competition between the two battleships. If you shoot a close arrow, I will hit the hull of the ship, and it will be very lively for a while.
The bearded man obviously saw the intention of the pursuers, and he was so angry that his eyes widened angrily, his forehead was bruised, and he gritted his teeth.
"It's too much to deceive people, it's just too much to deceive people, and it's like monkeys. One of the leaders said angrily.
"Second brother, don't talk nonsense, how can anyone say that they are monkeys, I think they are training, and the ones on the ship should be novices. A younger man squinted.
"I really don't talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, we have broken so many brothers, and we haven't even hurt their hair, as for being so unforgiving?" said the person who was called the second brother a little depressed.
"The second brother is right, you see that the wheels on both sides of the new warship are spinning fast, although the ship is big, but the speed is not slow at all, they are not unable to catch up with us, but they are deliberately playing, I am afraid that they will find the root of the matter. Another leader said worriedly.
The bearded man was already upset, and at this moment, listening to the noise of several other people, he was even more unhappy, and said fiercely: "Aren't you looking for our lair, then take them and see what they can do to me." ”
When a few people saw that the boss was furious, they suddenly became a little hairy, thinking that it was inappropriate.
"Boss, our family is all here, not afraid of thieves stealing, afraid of thieves, they can't beat and can run, they can make a comeback, what should we do? If we give up the hard work of the Promise family business for more than ten years, although the world is big, how can there be a place for us?" The second child said with a worried face and some pain.
As the boss, how can he not be painful and depressed, and he has come all the way through more than ten years of water life, not to mention smooth sailing, at least there is no danger, how can he have lost hundreds of brothers at one time. This time it was a hornet's nest, people obviously don't want to be good, they want a pot to serve, if they take advantage of it, they can comfort themselves, and now they don't have a single hair, they have caused a commotion, how can they not be depressed.
Let's not talk about how to get out of the predicament now, even if we return to the village safely, what kind of face will they have to go to the families of those dead brothers on the other side? The singles are better, and the unmarried are okay, how should those who are old and young talk about it? If there is a choice, the bearded man would rather exchange his life for the lives of the more than 200 brothers, and he can still have a good reputation of valuing love and righteousness; even if there is no leader, the lights will be extinguished, and he will not be too pursued, but now there is only infamy!
Time flies by the second, and the lake gradually turns from light blue to dark blue, and the Jijia ship and the Jizi ship are still throwing stone bullets without a match. When it is excessive, it even goes in parallel with enemy ships and attacks with a throwing car in the stern. The fleeing party has become numb, hoping that the sparse stones will not hit them, and they believe that the higher authorities will have a plan, although such a situation has never been experienced, but the leaders will always have a solution.
The leaders frequently exchanged glances with each other, hoping to see the confidence of the mystery in each other's eyes, and lead everyone out of the sea of suffering and escape from the ascension. However, the boss who has always been calm in the face of major events has already wilted, and the second child looks forward and backward, and has no courage to give it a go, as for the others, don't mention it.
The two sides fled and pursued in this way, and two hours passed in between stops and fights, but it was only thunder and rain, and the stone bullets thrown by the two warships did not cause substantial damage except for making each other's decks more breathable. But the people on the wooden boat were in fear for two hours, and for him, every breath was torment.
"Well, it was all because of my greed, which caused the brothers a great loss, and now it is even more troublesome. I don't have the face to see the old and young masters in the village anymore when I live, so I will leave them alone and let them fall, you can go one by one, but you must remember that even if they die, they can't find the village, those are innocent people. After explaining this, the bearded man was relieved of a thousand pounds of burden, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.
"The second one went south with two boats, the third one went east with two boats, the fourth and fifth ones each took two ships to the west, and I took two ships to deal with them. Remember, whoever they are eyeing should not go back to the stockade, and we will be able to return at least six of them. ”
"Boss, I'd better stay, I'm more active, I can't say I can save my life. "The second said.
"Or I'll stay, I'm alone and unconcerned, and when I get there, I can report the situation here to my uncles and uncles, so that they can rest assured. The young man said firmly.
"Ah, I've fought with you......"
The fourth child was really forced to go insane by the two battleships like a life-urging talisman, and he lifted two open-ended axes to lift his legs and was about to take a ride on the side of the ship, and he wanted to jump ship to fight for his life with the two battleships.
"Why are you crazy? Do you think you're floating on the water, carrying dozens of pounds of axes to jump into the water? Even if you don't sink into the lake, can you chop the hull of the boat?"
"Okay, am I still your boss?" the bearded man reprimanded him rarely, and he said the most ruthless words with the most cowardly expression.
Seeing this, everyone also fell silent, and moved to their respective wooden boats with a sad face.
Perhaps because of the rain and sunny weather, after yesterday's heavy rain, the clear blue sky has remained until now, and the golden afterglow is exceptionally dazzling, without a trace of impurities. The battleship was bathed in this golden light, but it made the beard no longer fearful, but had a sense of divine strangeness, which made him extremely entangled, and even doubted whether he had masochistic tendencies for a while.
Ten wooden ships began to divide into five groups, gradually separating in a given direction.
Da Gaoqiang, Song Feng in the command tower, and even Zhao Xiaogongzi, who was always in good spirits, knew that the enemy had divided his troops, and it was up to Jixiang to deal with it next.
Song Feng turned his head to look at Da Gaoqiang, and after seeing that he had no intention of taking over the command, he issued an order to intercept the last two wooden ships of the other party. There was a faint guess in his heart that if it was true, things were really a little tricky.
The beard was also single, but when the matter came, he put aside those unrealistic ideas, and led everyone to gather on the side of the boat, waiting for the other party's arrangement. There were more than 20 people on the two wooden boats he led, and they barely managed the boats, and the rest of the personnel were all transferred. If it could, he wished he was the only one here right now.
More than 100 marines on the Jizi ship, fully armed, calmly boarded two wooden boats, seized their weapons, tied them up, and hoisted them onto the Jijia ship, and after packing the available supplies on board, the wooden boat was blown up and sunk.
The bearded man, who was still waiting on the deck, watched the old ship that had accompanied him for more than ten years end its mission in this way, his nose was sour, and tears flowed down his face.
He did not cry when he wandered between life and death countless times; he did not cry in today's tragic battle when he witnessed the tragic death of his brothers one by one; he still did not cry when he made the choice of leaving behind the nine deaths, but he cried when the old ship that had been with him for more than ten years left him.
He leaned against his head, crying silently, and blood was already flowing from the ropes of his bound hands, slowly flowing into the palms of his clenched hands, but he did not slip through his fingers.
The two old wooden boats seem to be nostalgic for this lake that has been wandering for more than ten years, and it seems that it is difficult to let go of the parting with the master after all, sinking very slowly, when the last sail is gone, the crescent moon in the east has playfully poked its head out.
The bearded man's mood eased, and he kowtowed three times reverently in the direction of the sunken ship, which was not only to say goodbye to his old friend, but also to say goodbye to the past.
However, to the surprise of the captain of the ship, they were not interrogated that day, and after they had finished eating and drinking, they put away the dishes and chopsticks, locked the temporary cell door, and left the two guards to stop interrogating them.
On the thirteenth, there was a light breeze and the sky was a little overcast.
To the surprise of the bearded man and his twenty or so brothers, they had eaten three meals today, not to mention fish and meat, and a share of oranges, and even had an hour of drying on the deck in the afternoon. They still didn't interrogate them that day, but a boy with a bigger fart came to have fun with them.
Under Zhao Xiaogongzi's dead face and spoofing ridicule, Aunt Luo failed to keep the bottom line this time, and took him to personally 'interrogate' the prisoner with Song Feng's acquiescence.
The child can ask what flowers come out, and those routines are repeated over and over, but the bearded man was speechless when asked, where does the bear child understand the things on the road, he only thinks that this bearded man deceived himself when he was young and fooled himself, so the temporary cell became a water prison after a while. Well, tonight is no longer possible, and everyone has to stand all night.
The next day, the sunlight had already entered the room through the large glass window of his face, and Zhao Gongzi, the initiator, was lazy in bed, Yuru had already called twice, and he was still pretending to be dead under the quilt.
At noon on the 14th, the two warships did not sail back to the military port, but docked at the newly built pier at the entrance of the Xingyao River, and the six sons, the crickets, the princess's family, and the twenty-one prisoners disembarked in turn. The six sons were to meet Wang Xuanfu in person, and the prisoners were escorted by a squadron of the Lake Embankment Guards to the northwest prison in Xincheng. The princess's family went directly to the lord's mansion, and the government council was not the place they should go.
Although I heard that Jixiang had built a new warship, it was inconclusive, and the words that came out could not be clearly described. Now two huge gray warships are docked in front of everyone, and the coal ship of the royal capital, which used to be known for its height and spaciousness, is now dwarfed, and the other private ships of the foreign leader are even more ashamed of themselves.
The tall embankment has given everyone a lot of shock, when crossing the Times Bridge, along Hexi Avenue to the east gate of Jixiang City, what they saw and heard along the way made everyone think that they were in another time and space.
Zhao Gongzi's eyes are obviously not enough, the two little short legs are fast and slow, and the figure is also left and right, he doesn't know what is sold at the roadside stalls, he will ask this, and touch that.
"Ah, youkai~"
And then there is a question like, "Ah, who?"
The palm-sized oval mirror shone Zhao Gongzi in detail, so frightened that the bear child shuddered and threw the mirror in his hand out, and coincidentally hit a little girl who was eating scallion pancakes at a roadside stall, and let out an exclamation.
