A stone's throw away is about 150 meters away.

This is probably the effective range of ancient bows and arrows, and exceeding this distance is a safe distance, and less than this distance is somewhat dangerous.

These soldiers were stout, armed and loud, so how far the shouts could go.

In addition, Chongzhen's ear power is amazing, so he can hear clearly.

The two countries compete with each other, and they do not cut each other.

Although Chongzhen did not recognize that these were two countries, he had to allow others to speak.

Therefore, Chongzhen waved his hand, and the two hundred archers on the ship put down the bow and arrow that was aimed at the warship in front of him.

But the escort master beside Chongzhen, as well as the other three generals on this ship, and more than a dozen small boats on the left and right sides of this warship, and thousands of soldiers and generals on it, all of them are ready to be vigilant and respond to all emergencies at any time.

The boat moved forward a little closer, and the thieves on the ship could see their ordinary eyesight and facial features clearly, and there were hundreds of generals on this boat who were also tense and ready for self-defense.

At this time, I saw a person wearing a sailor's clothes, holding a pair of special weapons in his hand, and a letter in the other hand.

A somersault in the clouds, the man leaped up from the boat, came to the air, and fell straight into the water in a standing position, smaller than the Olympic diving champion splash.

Because his body didn't sink at all, and then he split the water and tread the waves to Chongzhen's boat,

Just this trick is the skill to dominate the crowd.

Chongzhen's thousands of generals and hundreds of martial arts masters, of course, there are also those who know water, especially the more than 10,000 water masters, there are not a few who are big in the water, but no one can beat them, so they all widened their eyes.

This person's ability in the water is so powerful?

Only Wang Chengen and these Jinyi Wei masters who escorted them were a little disdainful, not that they had this ability, but that they had seen Chongzhen's magic skills in treading waves.

Therefore, they feel that although the ability of this thief is great, it is not a big deal, and His Majesty Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty also has this ability.

In the blink of an eye, this person was on the river, and the water and waves had flown out of a hundred meters, and there were still more than ten meters away from Chongzhen's boat.

This person rose from the water, and a dry green onion flew down to Chongzhen's boat, and the ship's soldiers and several brocade guards immediately blocked Chongzhen's front.

Chongzhen knew that these people were the professional needs of escorts, but they really met masters, they were all decorations, and there was only one thief, so he didn't need to be so excited, but it seemed that he, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was timid and afraid of death.

Therefore, Chongzhen asked them all to retreat, and completely exposed the water master to Chongzhen.

Seeing that this person was of medium height, burly body, dressed in a black sailor's suit and covered him tightly, only his facial features and general body shape could be seen, his thick eyebrows and round and black eyes were shining, his nose was catfish's mouth, his face was uneven, and he had a few beards like steel needles under his chin, and he was about 40 years old.

This person's two eyes turned on the thousands of troops around Chongzhen, without the slightest hint of fear, and then his gaze fell on Chongzhen's face.

The eyes of the two people met, and Chongzhen instantly saw that this person's martial arts cultivation was not low, and it turned out to be an innate 7-layer realm, which was roughly the same as the cultivation level of Lu Xiaofeng, a master of Jinyi Guard.

And this person instantly looked away, because he didn't even see through Chongzhen's martial cultivation, which showed that his cultivation was limited, and he was afraid that the other party would capture his frightened gaze.

After the visitor looked away, he bowed to Chongzhen, "Listen to the young marshal, the people in the rivers and lakes are called Zhou Dachu, the ghost of the river, and I am here to write to Your Majesty on the order of the young marshal."

"This is the ghost Zhou Dachu?"

"One of the three ghosts of Xunjiang." ……

Some have long been famous, some have only heard of their names, and today they can be regarded as seeing real people.

There was a small commotion among these martial arts masters under Chongzhen.

"It turned out to be Zhou Daxia, and the letter was submitted."

Chongzhen nodded expressionlessly.

Wang Chengen went over and took the letter from Zhou Dachu and presented it

To Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened the letter and saw that this was a challenge letter, Ziyang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain wanted to challenge Chongzhen, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Ziyang Zhenren represented Zuo Liangyu and his son and Nanming's side, if they lost, Ziyang Zhenren let His Majesty fall, Zuo Liangyu and his son and Ma Shiying all surrendered and pleaded guilty.

But if it is the opposite, Ziyang Zhenren wins Chongzhen, Chongzhen must admit that he is the puppet emperor of the Ming Dynasty, surrender to Zhu Yousong, the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and lead his generals to ask the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty for guilt.

The stakes are a bit big, and it's an all-or-nothing bet for both sides.

The challenge took place at the summit of Mt. Hanyang, the highest peak of Mount Lushan on the other side of the river, at midnight three days later.

Chongzhen sneered after reading the letter, "This time, Ma Yaocao, they are true to their word?"

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Zhou Dachu was stunned.

Chongzhen snorted coldly, "Last time at Wangxiangtai, the northern peak of the Purple Mountain in Nanjing, the abbot of Nanjing Bao'en Temple held a martial arts conference on behalf of Er and others, and invited me to participate. It turned out to be a conspiracy, at a critical moment, Ma Shiying bombed Wangxiangtai, killing and injuring a lot of martial arts people, I haven't settled this account with him, and now I have this set again?"

"Hahaha," Zhou Dachu laughed, "Your Majesty's words may be true, but I don't know anything about it. This time it is for the order of the young marshal, and it is guaranteed in the name of the three ghosts of Xunjiang and Ziyangzhen. There is no prestige in Xia, but Ziyang Zhenren is the first Taoist of Longhu Mountain, and there is a personal seal of Zhenren, the young marshal and the Ma cabinet on the letter.

"Master, I can't believe their nonsense, these rebellious ministers and thieves have always said it and don't say it." Wang Chengen whispered beside him.

Chongzhen knew that this Ziyang real person was definitely not simple, since he had already drawn out the Dao, he should have a certain degree of certainty, and he did not rule out any conspiracy.

But I don't want to spread the word out and give people a laughing stock.

How can I care about a stinky Taoist?

The battle of Hukou River in front of me is also indispensable, but I don't understand, Zuo Liangyu and his son, Ma Shiying, these people are so strong, they dare to confront me like this, but they surrendered when the Manchu Dynasty *** killed, it seems that the Han girl is the Han girl!

That's it!

Chongzhen instantly paid attention and smiled indifferently, "Since Zhou Daxia said so, then I might as well take a trip to Lushan. Lushan is really a good place, I only heard its name before, since it is close at hand, what harm is it to visit Lushan?!"

Wang Chengen took the pen, Chongzhen wrote a sentence, three days later, according to the appointment, and decorated Zhu Youzhen's name, pressed the bright red Daming jade seal, and after drying the ink, he packed the letter and asked Wang Chengen to hand it over to Zhou Dachu.

Zhou Dachu was happy in his heart, and secretly said that this faint gentleman is really bold, and when you arrive at Lushan, you can't help it, Lushan is a good mountain!

"Your Majesty is indeed a bold person, and I am bidding farewell." Zhou Dachu happily accepted the letter, plunged into the water, and walked away on the waves......

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
