The long night had finally passed, and the sky was faintly bright, and Xuanyi and the remaining soldiers of the forward battalion were crowded on a higher hillside. Although the flood did not rise significantly, it did not recede, but fortunately, some soldiers succeeded in lighting the fire, and the people who were wet and armored were able to drive away the cold to the bone.

Xuanyi stood on a bluestone and looked into the city of Rixuan, and could vaguely see the shark-shaped warships of the Montenegrin people cruising in the city, but there was a dead silence all around. He sighed slightly, thinking that most of the five thousand Ningdu guards who came to Cao Zheng had already died in Huangquan, and there were nearly 100,000 civilians in the city! This flood was really vicious, and after harvesting their lives, they would leave endless troubles, plagues, and barrenness.

"It's over! Rixuancheng is over!" Xuanyi heard the general's muttering expression, his expression was extremely depressed, and almost all of them looked at the former fortified city soaked in water with a silent face, and their morale had fallen to the bottom.

Xuanyi's heart was in turmoil, at this moment he didn't know what to do next, everything that seemed to be an illusion was so real in front of him, at this time he was Chu Han, a low-level officer who was struggling in the last generation of the Great Liang Dynasty.

"My lord, there's movement in the city!" Wang Zhe, the sluggish captain of the guard, grabbed Xuanyi's arm and pointed at the city with some gaffes.

In the distance, a figure jumped up on a tall building in Rixuan City, and the man's robe flew a few times and landed heavily on an oncoming shark-shaped warship, the warship seemed to be hit by a hammer of 10,000 catties, and the whole flip was turned upside down, and the splash was several feet high.

The man slapped away several of the Montenegrin warriors who had pounced on him, and then concocted the same method, and once again overturned another nearby shark-shaped warship.

"It seems to be Gong An?" Bo Cunxu, who squeezed forward, stared at the man for a long time with wide eyes, and came to a conclusion.

Xuanyi nodded and agreed with his inference, since his identity has been confirmed, according to the law of the Great Liang, the superior in distress is a subordinate who cannot see death or save him, otherwise he will be imprisoned, and the thousands of eyes present are staring, and it is unrealistic to try to get through the test.

"Wang Zhe, you immediately take a few people to cut wood and build ships, and we will go to pick up the overseer!" Xuan Yi called the captain of the guard on the side and ordered.

Fortunately, there was sparse grass and trees growing on the hill, and with some mobilization, a simple boat was formed.

"This boat is too simple to carry only four people, who wants to go with me?" asked Xuanyi as he looked around at his subordinates.

"I'll go!" Bo Cunxu hurriedly took the first step to ask, Xuanyi glanced at him and did not speak.

"My subordinates are willing to go!" A short man with a thin stature also asked for battle, he was the warden of the forward battalion Fu Feng, who usually specializes in interrogating and detaining prisoners, and his secret weapon kung fu is the best in the whole battalion, and everyone is more convinced when he speaks.

Wang Zhe's face changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I... ”

Before the words fell, a sturdy figure suddenly squeezed out behind him, and the man pushed Wang Zhe back with a big grin, and smiled toothily at Xuanyi: "My lord, I want someone to go!"

"Ahh

"Silence, this guy is not a good stubble!"

There were acquaintances around and whispered, obviously this big man in front of him was famous among the grassroots soldiers.

Xuan Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the strong man in front of him wearing an ordinary military uniform, and an extremely fierce and bloodthirsty aura emerged from his body, invisibly giving people a kind of pressure like facing a fierce beast.

"You!" Wang Zhe lost face, and couldn't help but subconsciously grab Qian Biao's arm, Qian Biao turned around and waved his arm slightly, and the ulna bones of the two hit together fiercely, Wang Zhe took a step back like a lightning strike, and his arm was quickly swollen with the naked eye.

"Count you in!" Xuan Yi nodded.

"Master Xie!" Qian Biao bowed to Xuanyi and walked towards the wooden boat with his bare hands.

As soon as Xuanyi left, the command of the soldiers on the scene fell into the hands of Li Dian, the commander of the guard of the rear guard force, Li Dian was honest and steady, especially good at battle and defense, and entrusting a cadre of soldiers to him was the best choice at the moment.

The four of Xuanyi lined up on both sides of the wooden boat, Bo Cunxu and Qian Biao used a wide wooden plank as a bed oar, and Fu Feng temporarily acted as the helmsman to constantly adjust the direction of the boat.

"Tsk, this water is really deep enough! These black mountain dwarves are afraid that they have poured the water of the entire Luojiang River here!" Fu Feng muttered quietly, and the bamboo pole several feet long could not reach the bottom for a while.

Bo Cunxu and Qian Biao waved the oars with all their might, the small wooden boat pushed away the waves and quickly rowed towards the city gate, in front of which was the entrance of the city gate, Xuanyi subconsciously clenched the long knife in his hand, because the siege axe was too heavy and not conducive to street fighting, so Xuanyi did not bring it with him when he sneaked into the city this time.

"Everyone be vigilant!" Xuanyi reminded the three of them in a deep voice, and the wooden boat floated under the city gate by inertia. Bo and Qian put down the wood pulp in their hands for the first time. The passage of the city gate is dozens of meters long, and the city gate that was washed away by the flood hangs diagonally in the water on the side, revealing half of its body.

Affected by the current, the position of the wooden boat deviated slightly, and Fu Feng lifted the bamboo pole lightly on the wall of the city gate, and the wooden boat flexibly avoided the debris floating on the water and rowed in the established direction.

Just as everyone was about to sail out of the city gate, a black shadow crept up from under the water and slammed into it.

"Bang!" The wooden boat shook violently, and the four of them hurriedly stabilized their bodies, and the wooden boat almost capsized.

"There's something underwater!" Bo Cunxu leaned over the edge of the boat with one hand and looked underwater: "It looks like a snake! His head hit under our boat!"

The hull of the wooden boat is made of a whole thick hardwood, which is harder when it absorbs water, and is usually used by fishermen as the main material for their boats. The ship stopped, constantly jolting in circles, and huge black shadows could be seen passing by the bottom of the boat from time to time.

"No, if you go on like this, you're going to suffer!" Fu Feng gritted his teeth: "My lord, I'll go down and do it!"

Xuanyi nodded: "Be careful, pay attention to safety!" Among the four people here, he has the best feng shui, and sending him down is indeed the best choice at the moment.

Fu Feng took a deep breath and jumped into the water with a sharp blade in his mouth, and then the river tumbled violently, and a lot of debris floated one after another, and the river became even more turbid in an instant.

"Fufeng is in danger!" Xuan Yi was shocked in his heart, the turbid river water would seriously affect his vision, which would be fatal in the water.

With the churning of the river, a touch of dark red blood came into everyone's eyes, and the bright red blood spread rapidly in the water, and soon stained a large area of the surrounding area, and a figure surfaced and gasped violently, with a relieved smile on his face.

"Quick, quick, pull him up!"

Without waiting for Xuanyi's command, Bo Cunxu jumped into the water and swam towards Fufeng, and soon the two of them swam back to the wooden boat together.

Fu Feng hung his soaked robe on the edge of the boat, and said naked, "My lord, it was a thick snake that attacked our ship!"

"A snake?"

"That's right!" Fu Feng gasped and nodded: "That snake looks terrifying, with sharp horns on its head, it probably wanted to overturn our ship, but it didn't expect this ship to be too hard, and the horns on the snake's head stuck it in the bottom of the boat." ”

Fu Feng then made a gesture of decapitation: "I took advantage of the fact that the snake couldn't get out, and stabbed it more than a dozen times in a row, stabbing its head entirely. ”

Xuanyi pondered for a moment and said, "That snake not only has horns on its head, but also spots on its body?"

Fu Fengqi said: "Have you ever seen this kind of strange snake? Indeed, as you said, this snake is full of dense spots. ”

Hearing this, the three of them looked at Xuanyi together.

Xuanyi nodded slightly: "This beast is not a snake, but a more ferocious Jiao than a snake." ”

"Jiao, is this the legendary Jiao that can turn into a dragon?" said Bo Cunxu.

"Hehe!" The corners of Xuanyi's mouth turned up slightly: "I don't know if I can turn into a dragon or not, I only know that these beasts must have been raised by these Black Mountainegrins." He swept his eyes around the water and said softly: "And there is definitely more than one Jiao, we have to find An Gong as soon as possible!"

The three of them were suddenly shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly accelerated their rowing speed, and the wooden boat quickly rowed towards the mansion of the prison guard, which was mostly soaked in the flood.
