The exiled party soon came to the crossing of the Long River, and as soon as they crossed the great river, they reached the southern border.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to it, the environment in the south is not so bad, and more food can be found in the wild.

You need to take a boat to cross the river, but there is simply not such a big boat that can seat so many people.

Therefore, they had to cross the river in batches, first with a group of people, and then with the others.

Otherwise, who knows if any prisoners will take the opportunity to escape.

Therefore, the first person to pass must be well chosen.

Xu Tian planned to let Chen Xue's family cross the river first, but as soon as these words came out, Zhang Yiquan immediately jumped out.

"Why!"

"Everyone commented, why can the Chen family cross the river first, there are so many of us, the elderly and children, their family is not old or small, why!"

"This ......"

After experiencing all kinds of things, everyone is no longer jealous of the Chen family, after all, everyone knows that the Chen family has an immortal disciple, and if they can, they can't be offended.

Therefore, after Zhang Yiquan jumped out, he wanted to pull others along, but no one responded to him.

This embarrassed him very much.

However, in fact, although everyone did not stand up, they were actually a little dissatisfied with letting the Chen family be the first to pass.

Therefore, Lord Chen also pushed the boat to let the others go first, anyway, they were a little earlier and later.

And it's okay to be late, if they go first, the things in their carriage will not be easy to handle, after all, most of the things are actually in space.

It's morning, and the pedestrians are at their highest, so the boats are almost full, and there aren't many boats to sit on at all.

Even if there were, many people chose not to accept it, after all, the prisoners were unlucky.

Xu Tian and others spent a lot of money to find a few boats, and then they picked up people one after another.

It's just that, on the shore, there is another boat, which does not pick up guests or prisoners, but stops on the shore and does not move.

However, after seeing Chen Xue's family, the boatman wearing a hat quickly ran over.

"Lord Chen, this way!"

"I was sent by Lord Tan to send Lord Chen across the river."

Chen Xue frowned, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

A few men followed the boatman to the side of the small boat on the shore, which was about the size of the other man's boat.

The ship sent by Lord Tan is so big?

Chen Xue and the others looked at each other, a little incredulous.

However, thinking that Lord Tan seems to be serving as a county magistrate and has a big official position, but he doesn't have so much money to charter a big boat.

"Lord Chen, the ship is small, so it can only be ...... in batches"

Hearing the boatman's words, Master Chen estimated that there would only be six or seven people seated, and there were already four of them in their family, plus Fluttershy.

That is, water, up to two.

"Lord Chen, let's two brothers follow!"

A guard stepped forward, they were sent by Xie Yunshang to protect Lord Chen's family, so naturally they had to stay together.

"Okay!"

There were two guards following, and the safety was somewhat guaranteed.

Then he looked at Chen Xiaohua's family, as well as the other guards and villains, "You guys just wait for the second trip!" ”

"My lord, I'll go up and check it out first!"

The guard who had just spoken saluted Lord Chen again, intending to go up first to check whether the ship was safe, was obviously very conscientious.

"I was sent by Lord Tan, how could I harm Lord Chen."

When the boatman heard this, he became angry.

"There are so many of you, I'm only alone, how can I harm you." With that, the boatman rushed to the cabin and lifted the curtain to reveal what was going on inside, "You can see clearly that there is no ambush in there at all. ”

Seeing the boatman's resolute expression that if you don't believe it anymore, I will die in front of you, Lord Chen had to give up the inspection.

The boatman was also on the boat, and if something happened, he couldn't run, after all, there was water all around.

The group soon got into the boat, and the boatman rowed towards the center of the river, but the faces under the hat showed a cold smile.

Chen Xue and the others sat in the small cabin and looked around.

From the outside, the ship looks better than the others, but when you enter, you can find that the ship is even more broken than you imagined.

The cabin was patched with wooden planks everywhere, and you could even see behind the planks that water could faintly seep in.

Fortunately, there was a pile of hay in the cabin so that their clothes and shoes would not get wet.

It's just that when the boat was moving, Chen Xue listened to the squeaky sound, and was a little afraid that the ship would fall apart.

Shen Dan held the knife and stared at the boatman.

With years of battlefield instincts, Po was 100% sure that there was something wrong with this boatman.

But in the end, it was just a feeling that he had no evidence, so he chose to stare at the boatman, as long as he made any abnormal moves, he would strangle the danger in the cradle.

And his younger brother Shen Qing protected Lord Chen's family in the cabin.

The names of the two brothers were taken from, and they were given by Pingyuan Hou as Xie Yunshang's personal guard.

In the end, Xie Yunshang asked to protect Lord Chen, so they would be as conscientious as protecting the General.

Soon, the boat was in the middle of the river.

And Shen Dan subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the knife on his waist, this position is the most dangerous, if something happens, the people on the shore will not have time to help.

The boatman glanced at Shen Dan, but he didn't react, and continued to support the boat leisurely.

Soon, the boat left the middle of the river and headed across the river.

Shen Dan breathed a sigh of relief, however, at this time, the boat suddenly shook, as if it had hit something, or encountered an undercurrent.

Shen Dan was also a little unsteady on his feet because of this, but at this time, he heard an exclamation from inside, and his heart suddenly jumped.

"Master Chen, are you all right?"

The boatman also screamed urgently and rushed towards the cabin, as if he was also worried about Lord Chen.

Shen Dan hurriedly stabilized his figure, and then chased after him.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Shen Dan felt a chill under his feet, and when he looked down, he found that the cabin was all water.

Oops!

Shen Dan's heart sank, and he stepped forward quickly.

Then I found that my younger brother was escorting Lord Chen to confront the boatman, and it was obvious that the boatman did have bad intentions.

"Humph!"

The boatman snorted coldly, and without any nonsense, took out the fire fold and threw it at the hay in the cabin, and then turned and jumped from the stern.

But the cabin was instantly bursting into flames.

"Damn it!"

Shen Dan scolded secretly and yelled at his younger brother, "Shen Qing, what are you doing in a daze, escorting Master Chen away." ”

He himself took off his clothes, soaked in the cabin, and began to put out the fire.

Shen Qing escorted Chen Xue and the others to the bow of the boat, looking at the vast river, Shen Qing's face sank.

He was only alone, and there was no way to swim to the other side with Chen Xue and the four of them.

"No, there's no way to extinguish it!"

Shen Dan rushed out of the cabin with a disgraced face, "And that bastard is still digging the bottom of the boat underwater, and the ship is about to sink." ”

Behind him is a burning cabin, and in front of him is the vast river.

Several people's faces were very ugly.

"Bang!"

At this time, another thing was thrown onto the ship.

"It's not good, it's a drug, hold your breath!"

Shen Dan hurriedly reminded that Xin had sunk to the bottom, although there was only one enemy, but he had made sufficient preparations.

Although they held their breath in time, they still inhaled a lot, and they could feel the weakness of their hands and feet in an instant.

In this fireboat, he lost his strength, and he was either burned or drowned.

"You're dead!" The boatman under the water sneered.
