Chapter 57
Jiang Dan and Jiang Ying decided that no matter what those dozen people were doing, the Jiuli tribe should take precautions, on the one hand, mobilize a large number of troops to strengthen the defense along the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, send several elite small troops to search for those dozen people, and finally capture them all and determine why they came.
Jiang Ying summoned the capital guards Jiang He into the palace. After Jiang He entered the palace, Jiang Ying handed over the search for more than a dozen people from the Huaxia tribe to him, and asked him to capture them all. Jiang Dan was the commander of the Jiuli troops, and Jiang Dan transferred most of the troops around the capital to the capital according to Jiang Ying's orders, leaving only a few places for defense.
Although they have also taken boats on the Yellow River, the Yellow River is small, not as wide as the Yangtze River, and there are plains and fields on both sides of the Yellow River, without the high mountains and lush forests on both sides of the Yangtze River, and there are no huge ships today. Two men stood at the stern of the boat looking out to the west. As the sun sets, the fiery clouds are unusually beautiful.
After the sun had set, the boat continued to move forward at great speed, boosted by a tailwind. These people did not know the nature of the water, and the boat arrived at a dangerous shoal in the Yangtze River. The rapids are full of boulders that are exposed to or under the water. After a tiring day's work, he let the boatmen rest and eat, and let the boat drift down on its own. He took the dry food and sat on the boat with the others to eat.
With a loud bang, Zhen Xu, Yi and more than a dozen of them fell on the bed together. Water poured in from the bow of the boat, drowning their feet, necks, knees, and bellies. Yi and Zhen struggled to get to their feet, and then fell into the water with the sinking ship, and the two of them drank five or six sips of water. Yi Yiyi wanted to hold and protect the Zhuan, but they couldn't protect themselves if they weren't used to water, let alone protect others. The soldiers in Xiangcheng lived closer to the south, and they knew more about water. After they had steadied their feet, two people set up their stalks, two people set up their heads, one person behind each pushed them, and the rest of them protected them from behind.
There was a sudden strong wind in the sky, and raindrops the size of beans fell like curtains in an instant. Heavy rain was pouring down. It is very difficult for a person to swim out of this treacherous Yangtze River, and now they have two "burdens" of Xuan and Yi, and it is even more difficult to swim out. Even if there was no Sky to send them on the ship, no matter what situation they were going to encounter, they had to keep them safe. One by one, the waves came and drowned them again and again, and they showed their heads again and again in the huge waves with their heads on their feet. Huge waves and strong winds do not destroy their willpower. Their boat was closest to the south shore, and the ship tilted to the south. Now they don't care that the south bank is the territory of the Jiuli tribe, as long as they can send Zhuan Xuan and Yi ashore safely, they will be very relieved. A soldier with a crane stumbling on a goshawk touches a pointed stone hidden beneath the water's surface. The goshawk let out a scream of pain, and the goshawk's sturdy legs could not move. Another huge wave hit, and the goshawk was submerged under the water, never to be seen again. He cried out in pain, "Save the goshawk, go and save the goshawk." "The goshawk is their good comrade-in-arms, their good brother. "Brother, you are the pride of our brothers, the pride of our Xiangcheng, and the pride of our Wuhuai, brother, go all the way. A soldier Canghai also struggled to swim to the front and put up his arm. All the soldiers were silent, proud in their hearts for their good brother Goshawk. He didn't say anything, the case of Huaicheng had already given him enough experience, he still didn't shout, let those soldiers also save some physical strength, and minimize their casualties.
Zhen and Yi are only about ten meters away from the shore. The soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief. A ghost of the Jiuli tribe, who had just drowned in the Yangtze River, described as terrifying, roamed the Yangtze River. The water ghost smelled people. The water ghost was happy that he could finally be reincarnated. The water ghost swam quickly at the smell of people. 10 meters, 9 meters, 8 meters, 7 meters, 5 meters,...... The soldiers in the rear saw that they were safe to go ashore, and they swam to the front, ready to meet them ashore. They all went ashore, and he handed them his hand. The water ghost grabbed Zhuan's legs from underwater, and Zhenqi sank into the water and was pulled to the bottom by the water ghost.
"Water ghosts, it must be water ghosts," the soldiers of Elephant City shouted in panic. The water ghost pulled the demon forward. Yi was about to jump off the Yangtze River, but was stopped by the soldiers of Xiangcheng. No matter how good their water nature is, it is impossible to snatch the man he is going to drown from the water ghost. The water ghost bared its terrifying fangs, and the water ghost was very frightened. Water ghosts do not eat people, and water ghosts show their fangs to intimidate people who are dragged into the water. Let the person being dragged into the water open his mouth in horror. The water of the Yangtze River poured into the mouth of the Zhuan Xuan.
Xuanwu, an ancient mythical beast composed of a combination of a snake and a tortoise, has a high aura. Xuanwu appeared in front of the water ghost at the right time, spitting out his long snake core. The water ghost immediately dropped his hands and fled. The tortoise dragged the turtle on its back, and the snake used its body as a rope to wrap the turtle around the turtle's back a few times, so that the turtle would not fall back into the river in the waves. Due to the rapid flow of the river, the water ghost and the water ghost were washed away about 100 steps underwater. When Xuanwu dragged Zhuan Xuan to the surface, the soldiers of Yihe Xiangcheng, who were kneeling by the river and crying bitterly, were blocked by the waves again, and they didn't see Zhuan Xuan being dragged away by Xuanwu at all.
His stomach was full of water and he fell unconscious. Xuanwu dragged the Xuanwu to swim forward, about two thousand paces. Xuanwu dragged him to the palace where he lived, and there was a cave on the bank of a river buried by the river. Xuanwu sank into the water and swam down the mouth of the cave to the inside. When I entered the cave, I suddenly realized it. It is a hall with a hole in the southwest corner that leads to the ground. The entrance to the cave was constantly spewing gas, and the flames kept burning with unknown gas, illuminating the dark hall as if it were day. In the southeast corner of the hall was a large, smooth, flat stone slab, and Xuanwu leaned on the tortoise's limbs to slowly crawl to the large smooth stone slab where they were resting. The snake let go of the body that was wrapped around Xuanwu, Xuanwu shook slightly, and the unconscious Xuanwu rolled down from Xuanwu's north. Xuan Xuan lay on a large smooth stone slab, and Xuanwu slowly lay on his stomach.
