Chapter 103: Barbarian Assassin
Liu Qi was taken aback, he didn't expect Shamoke to make a move on him, and his movements were extremely fast, rushing over like an ape, unstoppable.
"Rest hurting my lord!"
At the same time, a figure flashed behind Liu Qi, and the cold light flickered, slashing straight towards Shamoke.
Whenβ
With a loud bang, Shamo Kelian was shocked and flew out with his weapons, and he retreated four or five steps in a row to stabilize his figure, and looked at the white-haired old man standing in front of Liu Qi with a horizontal knife in disbelief.
Huang Zhong's beard and hair rose, glared angrily at the barbarian in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Who is bold and dares to assassinate the general?" β
Shamoke didn't expect to attract Gan Ning, the old man beside Liu Qi was so powerful, he didn't answer, and rushed over with a low roar.
"Kill, take Liu Qi's head!"
Behind Shamoke, the four barbarians also rushed over, and at this time, only by killing Liu Qi could they have a glimmer of life, otherwise they would definitely die at the hands of officers and soldiers.
"The lord will go back to the cabin first!" Huang Zhong burst into a shout, stepped forward with a dancing knife, blocked the ship's side passage alone, and fought with Shamoke.
"Shamoko, who instructed you to come and assassinate?" Liu Qi did not retreat, and pointed at Shamoke and shouted.
"Y-How do you know ......?"
Shamoke's face changed greatly, and he shouted out in a lost voice, but at this time, Huang Zhong's big knife had arrived, and he was forced to speak, and the two fought on the boat.
At this time, Gan Ning had already killed all the black-clothed men who boarded the ship, led the troops to come to support, and stepped forward to fight the four barbarians.
The last barbarian heard the sound behind him, and rushed over with his knife, trying to intercept the officers and soldiers and buy time for the assassination of Liu Qi.
"Turtle son!" Gan Ning roared angrily, raised his knife and strode over, a cold light flashed, and the man's head flew up in the air, and blood on his neck came out like a fountain.
"Try to catch it alive!" Liu Qi saw that Wuxi Man's behavior was strange, and there must be something strange behind it.
Especially when Shamoke appears here, it is necessary to find out who is behind the scenes, this matter is related to the stability of the entire Wuling, if the Wuxi barbarians rebel, it will definitely affect the development of Wuling and even Jingnan.
Huang Zhong and Shamoke fought for 20 times at this time, and they had already killed the other party sweating profusely and roaring angrily.
As the first warrior of Wuximan, Shamoke was beaten by a veteran and was powerless, and he was furious.
Although Gan Ning heard Liu Qi's shout, at this time of life and death, he didn't dare to leave his hand at all, killed one person and continued to fly forward, blocking another barbarian.
The man held a short knife in each hand, hunched his waist slightly, like a vicious wolf preparing to dispatch, his eyes flashed with fierce light, and he was about to sneak attack Huang Zhong's back.
At this time, the barbarian who could speak official words was about to release the arrow, Gan Ning burst into a shout, took off the halberd on his back, stretched out his hand and threw it out, hitting him in the back of the heart.
The man struggled to turn around and aimed the arrow at Gan Ning, ready to take revenge, but before he could exert himself, he vomited blood and fell to the ground, and the arrow flew out lightly.
In the blink of an eye, only one of the four people remained, and the barbarian saw that the situation was not good, and yelled at Shamoke, shook his hand and struck the short knife at the door of Gan Ning's face, and at the same time rolled on the spot and jumped out to the stern of the boat.
Gan Ning dodged the short knife, and it was too late to chase after him, so the man flew and jumped into the river and disappeared.
"Keep Shamoko!" Liu Qi saw that Huang Zhong had completely suppressed Shamoke, and greeted Gan Ning.
Gan Ning raised his knife and approached from behind, Shamoke had already been beaten by Huang Zhong in fright, and when he saw that his four companions were killed by Gan Ning again, there was a panic in his eyes, he supported the side of the boat with one hand, turned over and jumped over the railing and jumped into the river.
Gan Ning was ready, untied the iron rope from his waist, threw it out, hit Shamoke's ankle, wrapped it, and pulled it back violently.
With a muffled bang, Shamoko slammed into the plank of the boat like a big fish that had been dragged up, let out a muffled snort, and fell into the river with a thud.
"Turtle son, don't want to escape!" Gan Ning threw away the chains, climbed onto the side of the boat, took off his coat at a rapid speed, and jumped into the river after him.
The ship fell silent for a moment, and only the sound of waves was heard, and if it weren't for the corpses and blood everywhere, I would have had a nightmare in a trance.
Huang Zhong was on guard with a horizontal knife, observing the surrounding movements, and suddenly heard a muffled sound from the bottom of the boat, and hurriedly said: "It's not good, the thieves are scuttling the boat!" β
"This is a common trick used by water thieves to send water troops to support." Liu Qi smiled faintly and ordered the navy: "General Gan has gone into the water, go to support quickly!" β
The guards on this ship were generally Jinfan soldiers, and when they heard the words, they took off their armor and jumped into the river.
When Liu Qi saw this scene, he couldn't help nodding secretly, they didn't act without permission just now, but waited for their own orders before following Gan Ning into the water, which shows that Gan Ning trained his troops and instilled the idea of loyalty to the monarch.
Huang Zhong stroked his long beard and frowned: "The Wuxi barbarians have always been at peace with us, and Liu Mu has also ordered to treat their people well, why did they suddenly make trouble?" β
Liu Qi said: "The barbarians are profitable, they will not take the risk of assassination for no reason, there will be someone behind the instigation, as long as Shamoke is caught, everything will fall into place." β
Huang Zhong nodded and said, "This barbarian is quite brave and has strange moves, but he is not yet proficient, and if he takes time, he will be a difficult opponent." β
Liu Qi laughed secretly in his heart, after Shamoke became the barbarian king, the first person to kill was the general Gan Ning!
It was late afternoon, the wind was calm, and there were broken planks floating on the river, as well as a few corpses, and a few dark shadows could be seen chasing underwater.
From time to time, a stream of blood bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, and I don't know who was killed, but Gan Ning had not yet appeared, so he could only wait patiently for the result.
At this time, Gan Ning had found Shamoko underwater, and was chasing him in a hurry, struggling to swim away.
Shamoke thought that the water quality was not bad, but when he dived into the river and saw that Gan Ning was flexible and light in the water, like a big fish, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
Fighting underwater is completely different from land, not only must you be flexible with your hands and eyes, but you also have to learn to breathe, otherwise a wave will roll over, and you may be dizzy and choked to death by the water.
Shamoke was exhausted by Huang Zhong just now, and hit the board again, his blood was surging, he was dizzy, and he still hadn't breathed his breath, where did he dare to fight with Gan Ning, like a fish that slipped through the net, swaying left and right to escape.
Gan Ning held the snatched water-splitting thorn in his left hand and the halberd in his right hand, walking between the bottom of the ship and the reef, and when he encountered those thieves who were building ships, he stabbed them with his hand, and saw a red light coming out.
These thieves were obviously prepared, all dressed in water, with chisels in their hands, specifically to destroy the bottom of the ship, but they were not the opponents of the Jinfan Army.
These soldiers not only crisscross the Yangtze River all the year round, they are already strong in martial arts, and they have also been trained in the army, and they are even more powerful, as long as they make a gesture, they will understand the intentions of their companions, and they will defeat the water thieves one by one in groups of two or several people.
The underwater battle was even more tragic, it was a silent fight, and the red blood that rose up was shocking.
Gan Ning was about to catch up with Shamoko, reaching out to grab his ankle, when suddenly a thief from the oblique stab came quickly, even faster than himself, with a string of blisters, and the splitting spur stabbed straight into the ribs.
