readx;? Chapter 5: The Passing of Water (9)
"Dreaming!" As soon as the words fell, Zhao Kuangyin had already roared and jumped up, "Grandpa is a good man, how can he be a dog for your Khitans?" grandson, if you have the ability, put down the bow and arrow, and we will face each other for life and death!"
From the moment Brother Yeluliuge appeared, he had already instinctively sensed that there might be something wrong between this thief and Jing Niang. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info could still read the safety of everyone and forcibly forbear, when he heard that this thief actually forced Jing Niang to marry him in exchange for his own life, how could he still endure it? Pushing Jing Niang away, the copper stick in his hand pointed at Yelu Liuge from afar, risking the risk of being dismembered by the chasing soldiers, and he had to first get out of the evil anger in his heart.
"Look for death!" Yelu Liuge took advantage of his weapon, how could he jump off his horse and have a close-range duel with his opponent? He shouted contemptuously, his fingers quickly released, and the eagle feather arrow went straight to Zhao Kuangyin's throat.
"Cangchang!" The feather arrow flew in, and the copper-clad stick in Zhao Kuangyin's hand was also erected in time. The shaft of the glue-painted arrow quickly brushed against the surface of the stick, splashing a string of terrible red stars. The three-inch-long arrow blade was slightly skewed, but it continued to fly forward by inertia, and what the cold light pointed to was Zhao Kuangyin's left shoulder socket.
"Smack!" followed by another crisp sound. The wet oars came over at the last moment, protecting Zhao Kuangyin's left shoulder and chest, isolating the cold light from half an inch away from the target!
"Big brother be careful!" Jing Niang's reminder came to everyone's ears, with a little anxiety, a little concern, and endless guilt.
"Buzz-" The shaft of the arrow bobbed back and forth on the surface of the oar. Yeluliuge's eyes instantly turned red, "You, you found a wild man outside?!No wonder you haven't been seen for months in a row, it turns out that you are following this wild man outside!"
"You!" Jing Niang was ashamed and angry, tears rolling back and forth in her eyes, "I didn't want to marry you, so I deliberately hid in the Central Plains to relax." I almost fell into the hands of the bandits! Thanks to Brother Zhao's righteous rescue, he sent me all the way back to Youzhou. Brother Yeluliu, you are a hero, don't be as shameless as a ruffian!"
"Brother Yeluliu, if you want to kill me, even if you continue to shoot your bow and arrows, you will not spew blood and defile Jing Niang's name!" Zhao Kuangyin's face also turned purple and black. Half-step in front of Han Jing and retorted loudly.
He asked himself that his martial arts were not inferior to Yeluliuge, but the other party was carrying a three-stone horned bow in his hand, and the wooden box behind the horse was also stuffed with carved feather arrows. Therefore, in a short period of time, it can only be strictly guarded. Wait until the opponent's arm strength is exhausted, so as to find an opportunity to rush forward and fight face to face.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law be careful!" Ning Ziming quickly replaced the steel whip in his hand with an oar, waving it up and down in front of Zhao Kuangyin and Jing Niang. "This guy is so shameless that he won't say anything from his mouth! Let's ignore him, those who are clear will be clear, and those who are turbid will be turbid. In the eyes of the ruffians, everyone lives as dirty as he does!"
The last sentence was taken to the extreme, like a dagger, directly poking at Yeluliuge's heart. Angry with a Jeruliuge, he turned around and shot a feather arrow into his chest.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Puff!" Ning Ziming blocked two feather arrows with wide oars one after another, and the third one was too late, so he suddenly fell down and lay down on the deck. Snow-white feathers whizzed past his body, "Click!" and shot the cabin into a dark hole.
"Third brother be careful!" Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong hurriedly waved their weapons to protect each other in case Yeluliuge continued to sneak attack. Then Yelu Liuge suddenly let out a strange scream, "Ah!" turned his bow arm and shot the sharp arrow at Zhao Kuangyin's choked throat.
"Smack!" At the critical moment, it was Han Jing who blocked Zhao Kuangyin's neck with an oar, and dissolved Yeluliuge's must-kill blow into a rickety arrow shaft.
It's too late, it's too soon. Just when the energy of both the enemy and us was focused on Zhao Kuangyin and Han Jing. Ning Ziming suddenly jumped up from the deck, and the unraveling knife he had just picked up fell back in the air, "Click!" The cable tied to the bow of the ship was cut in two.
The boat lost its ties and quickly went down the river. Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and Han Jing were shaken so that they couldn't stand steadily, and their bodies leaned forward and backwards. Jeruliugo, who was riding on horseback, was stunned, roared and instigated his mount, leading his guards to chase along the river beach. The feather arrows in their hands were attached to their bows and arms in the gallop, vowing to kill their rivals.
Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Rong, and Ning Ziming are not very familiar with water warfare, and when the sentinel ship is tied to the trestle, it can still stand still. At this moment, the sentinel boat went up and down along the waves, and the three of them immediately lost their balance. Trying to control his legs and not fall has exhausted all his strength, and it is impossible to have time to dial in to dodge the feather arrows flying in the air.
Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was about to be shot into a hedgehog, Han Jing suddenly let out a scream from his mouth, rushed over, and tightly protected the lover in his arms.
"Don't hurt her!" Jereliugo raised his arm at the last moment, and the feathered arrow went straight to the bare mast. The guards under his command did not dare to make a mistake, and they raised their arms as high as they could, and shot the feathered arrows into the air.
"Jing Niang, Jing Niang, you dodge for me, don't force me to kill my relatives in righteousness!" "Brother Yelu was sweating, his eyes were spewing fire, and he put the feather arrow on his bow arm again.
"Brother Yeluliu, you have the ability to rush at me!" Zhao Kuangyin's voice also sounded at the same time, trying to adjust the direction of his body and protect Jing Niang behind his back.
How could Han Jing, who knew Yelu Liuge's skills and strength very well, let Zhao Kuangyin take the risk? While struggling to turn his body and protect Zhao Kuangyin. shouted loudly: "Second Uncle Liu, I will never marry you in my life." If you shoot, it's a big deal that I'll die with Brother Zhao! Big brother, third brother, rowing, rowing, hurry up and row to the other side! Leave me alone! You can't fall into his hands under any circumstances!"
Chai Rong and Ning Zi knew that the situation was urgent, squatted down, and paddled hard with their oars. However, their ability to operate boats is close to nothing. It took a lot of effort for the sentinel boat, which was used to urgently transmit military information, to turn around slowly, and with the help of the reverse thrust of the oars, it was skewed towards the middle of the river.
"Slut, slut, slut with no conscience. I, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" Yeluliuge scolded like a reckless farmer, trembling with the horn bow in his hand, trembling, but he could not shoot another eagle feather.
He is one of the best condor archers in the Khitan army, and within a hundred steps, he can hit the treasure money hanging in mid-air. However, in the face of his rival, who was less than thirty paces away, he did not have the courage to let go of the bowstring. (Note 1)
The rival in love and Jing Niang are desperately trying to protect each other, and their backs and positions are constantly changing with each other. In case at the moment of letting go of his hand, it happens that Jing Niang is in front of his rival in love, and he may not be able to feel at ease in his life.
"Slut, slut with no conscience!Jing Niang, what's so good about him, you'd rather die with him?!" No matter how strong your strength is, you can't keep the three-stone horn bow at full power all the time. Feeling the soreness in his arms, Jeruliugo screamed, and released his bowstring to the sky with red eyes.
"Whoosh!" the eagle feather arrow cut a long line of light in mid-air and fell into the middle of the river. Jeruliugo dropped his horned bow and looked at the sentinel ship with a look of reluctance. He was reluctant to let Jing Niang marry someone else, but he was even more unwilling to let Jing Niang die under his own feather arrow. Therefore, at this moment, there is no choice but to watch the other party leave.
"Thank you Second Uncle for your mercy!" After a long time, she didn't see a feather arrow flying, Jing Niang turned her head sharply, and just saw Yeluliuge's dejected appearance. lest the other party come to his senses and go to his own family's troubles. She forced her boredom and bowed to the riverbank.
"Forget it, forget it!" said Jerryliugo, who chased after him a few more steps, and waved helplessly. "That kid's skills are not bad, I hope his character is as passable as his skills. Let's go, don't let me see you in the future! Otherwise, I will cut you two with a thousand cuts!"
"If we meet on the shore next time, you can just let the horse come!" Zhao Kuangyin knew that the other party had no killing intent today, and a little admiration surged in his heart, smiled, and got up and surrendered.
"Get out! When Lao Tzu was crisscrossing the battlefield, you were still wearing open crotch pants!" Yeluliuge was furious when he saw his angular face. He waved his arm and gritted his teeth and circled his mount. He was about to return to his barracks to get drunk, when suddenly, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the opposite side. Immediately after, there was a military general in gold armor, surrounded by cronies, galloping at high speed.
"Big brother, why are you here? Jing Niang is on the boat! You hurry, hurry up and persuade her, don't go all the way to the dark!" The already desperate heart once again ignited the flame of hope. Jeruliugo grabbed his mount and waved his arms up and down.
"Your Majesty!" "I've seen Your Majesty!" All the guards also grabbed their horses and took the initiative to bow down to the visitors.
"I'm sorry, Brother Liu. I'm sorry everyone! Han is late today!" Liaoguo stayed in Nanjing, and the Privy Council of Zhinan made Han Kuangsi put his right hand on his chest and leaned over to apologize. Immediately, riding a horse hurriedly passed by Yeluliuge, reached the shore, looked at the slowly moving sentinel ship and called loudly, "Jing Niang, Jing Niang, where are you going?
Han Jing was sour at what she said, let go of Zhao Kuangyin, and knelt down on the deck straight against the riverbank, "Grandpa, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial! He sent me all the way from the Central Plains to Youdu, and my daughter never watched him being arrested!"
"Nonsense, who's going to arrest him?" Han Kuangsi's brows jumped, and he asked loudly, "If he wasn't a spy from the south, Grandpa, I couldn't thank him too late, how could he let people deal with him?" You, you quickly row the boat back and go home with me." Your mother, your mother thinks you want to be sick!"
"Grandpa, you're lying to me again!" Han Jing burst into tears and shook her head vigorously. "My daughter was on the pontoon bridge today, and she saw the picture with her own eyes. Brother Zhao and the three of them were all painted on it. If you resist, you will be killed on the spot. My daughter can see these words clearly!"
"That, that's, that's given, an explanation to the imperial court!" Han Kuangsi's lie was exposed in public, and his face was slightly red. Shaking his head, he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, "My father is the privy envoy of the Southern Court of Da Liao, of course, I can't openly confront the imperial court. But if you get off the boat and go ashore, for the sake of the Father, for the Father, for the Father, find a way to send the three of them home safely!"
"Really?!" Han Jing was surprised and delighted, and quickly stood up from the deck, "I don't want to marry the second uncle, I want to marry, marry Brother Zhao!"
"Junior Zhao Kuangyin, I've seen my uncle!" Now that he has taken a photo, even if Zhao Kuangyin is hard-headed, he has to maintain the due courtesy. Try to stand firm on the deck and salute Han Jing's father as a junior.
"Good, good!" Han Kuangsi's eyebrows quickly raised upward, and a cold light shone in his eyes. But after only a brief moment, he was back to his fatherly appearance. With his hands raised, he responded with a smile, "No courtesy! The old man has heard of you, thank you for escorting Jingniang home. Zhao Gongzi, please also go ashore for a preface. The old man only has such a daughter, he can't even let you take it away easily without inviting a matchmaker!"
"...... this?" couldn't tell whether the other party was telling the truth or a lie, Zhao Kuangyin hesitated and asked Chai Rong for advice with his eyes.
Seeing this, Chai Rong and Ning Ziming could only stop paddling for the time being, and let the boat continue to drift along the current. Before they could make a decision, Jing Niang's anxious voice came from their ears, "Don't stop, keep rowing." A few fishing boats were chasing me upstream, and I saw the shadow of the sail!"
"Ahh Han Jing shouted loudly as she ran to the rope that raised the sails: "Grandpa, the three of them have special identities, and my daughter will never dare to let them fall into your hands." Don't worry, your daughter just sent them to the other side, and then they came back from the pontoon bridge by themselves, and you and the second uncle were at your disposal!"
"Come back, don't hoist the sails. The three of you don't know how to handle the boat, be careful to overturn the boat in the water!" Han Kuangsi was so anxious that he kept waving his arms on horseback, threatening loudly. "Zhao Gongzi, Shi Gongzi, and that son, you three don't worry, Han said that he wouldn't let people hurt you, and he would definitely be able to do it. ”
"So you already knew who I was?" Ning Ziming was extremely sensitive to his identity, and immediately heard the flaw in Han Kuangsi's words. Turning his head, he glared at the man. "Knowing my identity, do you dare to make such a guarantee? Han Shumi, you can really disappoint the juniors!"
"You, you ......" Han Kuangsi's face turned red when he was said, but he couldn't make up a suitable lie anymore. If the three people on the ship were only suspected of being meticulous, with his status as the privy envoy of the Southern Court, he could indeed ensure that the lives of the three people were worry-free. But since the Liao State already knew that Ning Ziming was Shi Yanbao, the second prince of the Later Jin Dynasty, it was impossible for anyone to dare to let him return south. Unless Han Kuangsi goes out to divide one side, he will go out and take the Yanyun Han army under his command to meet the Khitan iron cavalry!
"Forget it, let them go!" At this moment, Yeluliuge completely gave up the idea of getting close to the Han family. Zema walked up to Han Kuangsi and smiled comfortingly. "The female university is not in the middle, but Zhao Gongzi is also from a famous family. Jing Niang marrying him is not an insult to your Youzhou Han family!"
This is obviously a good word, but who would have thought that Han Kuangsi, the envoy of the Zhinan Privy Council, was so stimulated that his eyes were red. "I, Han Kuangsi, am an important minister of the Great Liao, how can I marry the southerners?!" gritted his teeth and let out a roar, he jerked out his horned bow from the saddle and quickly pulled it to its fullest. Standing up, aiming, the three fingers of his right hand were immediately released, and a carved feather arrow came out of the string.
"Whoosh-!" The feather arrow broke through the air, and a ball of blood splashed on the back of Jing Niang, who was trying to raise the sail, shook and fell softly.
"Jing Niang-!" The incident happened suddenly, Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and Ning Ziming, no matter what, they never thought that Han Kuangsi's first target was his biological daughter. When I realized that the situation was wrong, I rushed over to rescue him, where was there any time? I watched as the four-foot-long wolf tooth arrow penetrated Jing Niang's body, bringing out two terrible red lights in front of and behind him.
"You're crazy!" Also caught off guard, there was Yelu Liuge, who instinctively raised his arm and slapped the horned bow in Han Kuangsi's hand into the air.
The Liao State stayed behind in Nanjing, and Han Kuangsi, the envoy of the Southern Privy Council, raised his head and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, hahaha, happy! This kind of unfilial daughter, how can the old man keep her? The old man has already broken off with the Central Plains since the day he beat the Empress Dowager and gave her the surname Yelu!"
"You ......" Brother Yelu Liuge trembled his lips and couldn't speak as if he had met Han Kuangsi on the first day. In his ears, he could clearly hear Zhao Kuangyin crying out loudly on the river, "Jing Niang, Jing Niang, Jing Niang, wake up! Wake up! Let's go ashore, let Ziming heal you! Ziming, save your second sister-in-law, hurry up and save your second sister-in-law!"
"Jing Niang-" "Second sister-in-law-" Chai Rong and Ning Ziming also shouted while trying to wake up Jing Niang. But no matter how loud they screamed, Han Jing never wanted to wake up again. In the round eyes, blood rolled down with tears.
"Han Kuangsi!" Zhao Kuangyin stood up suddenly, rushed to the stern of the boat, rounded the copper-clad big stick and threw it at the riverbank with the greatest strength.
"Woo-" The copper-covered stick circled in mid-air, sweeping out clouds of lightning, but it couldn't smash the target to death as he wished, and fell into the icy river halfway, splashing a string of blood-colored ripples.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" The Han clan's pro-soldiers on the riverbank opened their bows and arrows one after another, trying to shoot all three brothers. Most of the feathered arrows were blown crooked by the river wind and were missing. Although a small number of them fell on the boat, they were knocked away by Ning Ziming and Chai Rong with oars, and they could no longer hurt everyone.
"Jing Niang, Jing Niang-!" Zhao Kuangyin hugged Jing Niang's body and cried loudly. The body in his arms began to get cold a little bit. Stopping his crying abruptly, he gently closed Jingniang's wide eyes. Immediately, he put down the corpse, strode to the stern of the boat, and raised his right hand high on the riverbank, "The surname is Han, I, Zhao Kuangyin, swear here, as long as I am in this life, I will step on Youyan and destroy you." If you can't do that, may you go down to the eighteen layers of hell and never exalt!"
