Chapter 167: Thrilling Dragon Boat Race

Emperor Tian Yuan was sitting at the bow of the third floor of the dragon ship at this moment, and sitting beside him was the newly favored Jiang Liangyuan.

At this moment, Liang Yuan peeled the iced grapes and handed the handkerchief to Emperor Tianyuan's lips and fed him to eat.

On the other side, Xiang Jiuyu Xiang Guiji guarded a small Xiaoice Ding. She was born round and jade, and she was most afraid of traveling, because she only stayed on the side, and she was not good at competing for favor.

As soon as Princess Yuhe went up to the third floor, she saw that her father was flirting with Jiang Liangyuan, who was younger than herself, but she didn't see it, and Yan Yan had to meet her father, so she sat on the other side of Bingding.

Emperor Tianyuan was afraid of his daughter, so he refused Jiang Liangyuan's feeding at the moment, and turned his head towards Yu and the princess, "Why did you come back so quickly?" ”

"The weather is too hot, I knew it was like this, and my daughter might as well stay in the palace to accompany her mother. It's good now, it's a hot sweat, and it stinks. Princess Yuhe pinched a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, pursed her lips and complained.

"Haha, it's hard to come out to play, but it annoys Yuhe. Zhu'er, you coax Yuhe, so that she doesn't have to complain to her mother. "Emperor Tian Yuan doted on his daughter very much, and threw this problem to Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhigong replied "yes" and turned his wheelchair to walk in front of Princess Yuhe.

Although his legs are good, he can't walk much at the moment.

This side is happy, there is already a herald from the outside to the inside of tomorrow Emperor Yuan, the dragon boat race is about to start.

The people in the dragon boat all stopped moving, and looked at the dragon boats on the river like dragons.

For a while, the drums on the river sounded loudly, and the sound of knocking and knocking hit people's hearts.

Yuhe looked around, stood up and took a few steps forward, staring closely at the dragon boat running forward on the river.

Prince Xiao Ce was heading to the third floor at this time, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

If he didn't show up, how could he stage an affectionate drama of sacrificing his life to save his father?

However, he waited and waited, but he never saw the fire of "adding oil and vinegar" to the fire, and the uneasiness in his heart began to surge.

But before he could find out what was wrong, he heard an exclamation, and the bottom of the dragon boat instantly swam red.

The anomaly here quickly alarmed the Imperial Forest Army, and Commander Liu sent half of his men to protect Emperor Tianyuan, while the other half rushed to the first floor to reinforce the Tiqi Division.

.

Not only did the people on the boat realize that something was wrong, but even Shi Nian and Liang Zhou, who were hanging on the trees, had already noticed that something was wrong.

Especially Liang Zhou, his eyes are excellent, and at the beginning of the dragon boat race, he raised his hand to cover the dazzling sunlight and looked at the huge dragon boat.

Although the hill is a little far from the river, the people at the top of the dragon boat are too brightly dressed, like a target, attracting everyone's attention.

If you are near the riverbank, you can see that the man has a long knife in his hand, half-crouched on the roof of the dragon boat, and has pulled a layer of gray powder from the top of the wooden boat.

Lu Liu got the instructions of his own sidu, and he had a special heart, and personally climbed to the top of the dragon boat and walked for a while.

As expected, he pinched the layer of powder and crushed it lightly, and then leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed, and his heart was suddenly frightened.

It's flint powder!

His heart was tense, so he took off his coat, cut off the place where the flint powder was spreading, wrapped it and put it away quietly, so as not to cause any trouble.

I didn't feel at ease in my heart, so I turned around from the top of the boat again, and waited until there was no omission, and then I got off the top of the boat.

The flint powder was not scattered everywhere, but mostly gathered on the side of the riverbank, which was obviously deliberately done by someone.

At the same time, with the drumbeat of the dragon boat gathering, the streamer of ideas that gathered in the crowd on the riverbank converged to the top of the dragon boat little by little, and there was that flash of light just over the face of the Royal Forest Army, so that people couldn't help but cover their eyes.

Qi Mojing lightly hooked the corner of his lower lip, looked in the direction of the water, and asked the surrounding horsemen to shoot arrows in unison.

If there is an assassin on the river, it can only be hidden underwater.

Sure enough, the crossbow arrows in the hands of the riders were fired, and some of the assassins attached to the bottom of the ship could not dodge, and suddenly there were magnificent red clouds everywhere.

When Commander Liu arrived with his people, an assassin had already seen his identity exposed, and a rush of brains poured out from the bottom of the ship and climbed onto the first deck.

Only the number of casualties among them is very large, and they do not have an advantage compared to the men and horses of the Royal Forest Army and the Ti Cavalry.

Qi Mojing raised his foot and picked up a spear on the ground, and stabbed straight at the drenched assassins.

The spear was already extremely long, and when it fell into his hands, he had the momentum to provoke thousands of troops, and he was extremely powerful, and almost in a moment, he forced those assassins into a corner, and only fought the trapped beasts.

However, one of the assassins was as swift as the wind, and a dignified dagger in his hand, like a ghost, cut a gap in the encirclement of the Tiqi and the Imperial Forest Army, and came straight towards Qi Mojing.

Both of them are good at fighting, and they each climbed to the side of the ship, and before they knew it, they had already passed a few moves. Only Qi Mojing climbed the cable with the dragon flag fluttering in one hand, and the spear was really inconvenient, so he also took out a dagger from his waist at the moment and tried to attack with each other.

His feet hooked on the straight cable, and his body spun around, and in an instant he leaped towards another cable. The assassin was on that cable, stabbing with a dagger in his hand, and stabbed back into his hand.

Qi Mojing moved several times on the cable, flipped his wrist, and sneaked behind the man in the ups and downs, both of them hooking the rope with their feet, fighting each other.

"You're here to kill me?" Qi Mojing saw that the man was killing everywhere, attacking everywhere, and even exchanging his life for his life, he couldn't help but look at the man coldly, "Could it be the prince?" Or, the second prince? ”

When the assassin heard these two names, his hands were faster, and even Qi Mojing had to avoid his edge and climb to the second-floor window string with his bare hands.

The two of them each climbed the window string and fought a few more moves, and suddenly a cold light crossed, and Qi Mojing's silver-white mask was cut by a cold white dagger.

The man's voice had a sinister tone, "Today, I want to see the true face of Fan Cheng, the commander of the cavalry." ”

Before the words fell, his palm came first, and he bent one hand into a claw, and grabbed it straight towards Qi Mojing's face.

Qi Mojing's lips were as red as blood, and he sighed, "You guys are really hard enough." ”

With that, he loosened the edge of the window, and his body fell rapidly.

The Assassin's palm touched his mask, and then it fell in an instant, and then fell in an instant, and the two figures, one red and one black, fell into the water together, splashing a splash.

Lu Liu saw that his own division had fallen into the water, and hurriedly asked his brothers around him to clean up the battlefield, and suddenly jumped and followed into the water.

The river had already been muddy.

Qi Mojing could enter the water and swam towards the riverbank.

As soon as he entered the water, he realized that something was wrong, and there were several assassins hiding underwater, apparently very patient.

In order to avoid the assassins, he quickly slit the throat of one of the assassins with the dagger in his hand, allowing the blood to fill everyone's eyes before Shi Shiran fled the area.

At this time, the people on the riverbank had already noticed that something was wrong, and they dragged their families one by one, running faster than rabbits.

There was a mess around, but there were still those who were brave and backward, who stayed on the shore to patrol and only pick up some valuable objects dropped by others and go back.

However, as the men were dragging things around, they saw the river rattle, and after some stirring, a man in red wearing a cracked silver-white mask came out of the water.

Flint powder, here specifically refers to white phosphorus powder. The writing is not rigorous, it only existed in nature in ancient times, and it is not good to make it in large quantities.
