The river flows down, and the green hills move on both sides. As the sun sets, the entire Chen Shui is dyed golden by the sun, and the oblique sunset also stretches the mountain shadows on both sides of the Chen Shui very long.

And Mu Fengxiang's boat was full of laughter, but what they didn't know was that at this time, there were two big boats on Chen Shui, dozens of miles away from them, chasing them at full speed.

The two ships were hung separately

The word "Qi" and

The "Shu" word flag, these two ships are the ships of Mu Qingliang, the prince of Qi and Mu Fengchang, the son of Shu.

The two of them also came to congratulate Shi Fangzheng, the envoy of the Anzhou Festival, on his birthday. Not long ago, when their boat was sailing on Chen Shui, they saw someone on the shore holding high the military flag of the Yue Kingdom, and they stopped the boat under curiosity, and only after asking, did they know that the person on the shore was actually Nan Shuai, one of the five marshals of the Yue Kingdom.

After a brief exchange, they knew why Nan Ye would appear at the ferry port by the old water.

"Since Nan Shuai is to hunt down the murderer of my Mu family, we as people surnamed Mu must also make a modest contribution." After knowing that Nan Ye wanted to use his own ship to pursue the murderers of Mu Fengshan and Mu Fenglin, Mu Qingliang, the prince of Qi Kingdom, agreed to come down.

It stands to reason that their Qi and Zhao kingdoms belong to the same lineage of Northern Yu, and they are not too close to the Yue Kingdom that belongs to Southern Yu.

However, they are a very small country, and their Qi country is relatively close to each other, although they do not directly border, but there is only a small country in the middle.

Therefore, driven by interests, they naturally sat on their buttocks, and they turned their backs on Beiyu's integrity and their eyebrows as Nanyu Yueguo.

"I deeply sympathize with the death of Brother Fengshan and the third brother of Fenglin, and I hate the murderers who dare to kill them, even if Nan Shuai doesn't kill those people, I will definitely take revenge for the two brothers." Compared with the flattery of Mu Qingliang, the prince of Qi, Mu Fengchang, the prince of Shu, said it much more beautifully.

So in this way, Nan Yi divided the team into three, and 200 of them continued to ride south along Chen Shui to pursue Li Yi and others.

And all of them are one man and two horses, so as to ensure the speed of their travel to the greatest extent.

The remaining 300 people were divided into two teams, one on Mu Qingliang's boat and the other on Mu Fengchang's ship.

And the soldiers were arranged to take turns paddling with the original boatmen on board. He wanted to catch up with Li Yi and the others as quickly as possible and capture them.

Since they were taking turns paddling, the speed of the whole boat reached an astonishing level. It only took a few hours for them to catch up with Mu Fengxiang's ship.

Just as Nan Yi was about to continue to accelerate and catch up with Mu Fengxiang's ship in one go, Mu Fengxiang's ship in front of him suddenly accelerated.

In the face of this sudden change, Nan Yi was directly overwhelmed. At this time, he was wondering if Li Yi and the others had already discovered their existence.

But if you think about it carefully, it is unlikely, after all, although Li Yi and the others can see the ship on their side, they must not be able to see the situation on the ship clearly due to the distance.

Even if they could see the situation on the ship, it didn't matter, because the soldiers on the ship were all paddling hard under the cabin at this time, and they would definitely not notice that there were a large number of soldiers on the ship.

"It's strange, what the hell are the ships in front of them smoking, why did they suddenly speed up?" Seeing that it was expected to catch up with the ship in front, all of a sudden, the other party accelerated again, and the distance that was slowly approaching was suddenly slowly pulled away again.

"Yes, the boat in front is Mu Fengxiang's, that kid likes to travel around the world the most on weekdays, so although his ship is big and luxurious, it should not be as good as our ship in terms of speed, right, why is his boat suddenly so fast today?" Mu Fengchang was scratching his head at this time, standing beside Nan Yike, looking at Mu Fengxiang's boat in front of him with a puzzled expression, and muttered.

"Could it be that this prince of Tan Guo was threatened by that Li Yi to drive the ship so fast?" Nan also stood at the bow of the boat and touched his chin and thought.

Nan Ye looked at the speeding ship in front of him and couldn't help muttering to himself. He knew very well that with the speed of Mu Fengxiang's ship in front of him, once it hit the reef or mountain wall, it would basically be equivalent to his own life, which had been deposited with Lord Yama.

This kind of desperate driving style is not something that normal people can do. In fact, the actual situation is indeed as Nan Yi thought, and the person who operated the ship was really not a normal person.

At this time, Li Yi and the others were still in the cabin and were pushing the cup and changing the lamp and chatting happily, and Jin Shi, who had never been used to this kind of scene, walked out of the cabin alone.

When he came to the deck and saw the mountain walls on both sides of the bank flying backwards, he had a very pleasant feeling.

However, although the scene in front of him was flying behind at a rapid pace, in Jinshi's opinion, this speed was a bit too slow, and it was not exciting at all.

So he ran to the bow of the ship alone to take a closer look at the rudder, and then he began to look around the deck to take a closer look at other things.

Soon his eyes were drawn to a huge mast in the center of the ship. When the ship's boatmen walked past him, they would find him staring intently at the sails tied to the mast.

Since this time the ship was going downstream, and the time was not too urgent, Mu Fengxiang's boatmen did not drop the sails and accelerated.

But when Jin Shi saw these sails tied to the mast, the situation was different. In Jin Shi's opinion, since the ship is equipped with sails, it must be used so that money will not be wasted.

So he immediately called the sailors of the ship, and told them to open all the sails on the mast.

And when the shipwrights understood Jin Shi's instructions, they were terrified, but they knew that this old water seemed to be plain, but there were a lot of reefs in its channel.

Once the speed of the ship is up, it will be difficult for them to ensure that the boat does not hit the reef or rock wall. Even the oldest and most skilled Lao Yan on the ship did not dare to make such a guarantee.

However, it is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but in the face of such a dangerous situation, Jin Shi still doesn't care.

In fact, he dared to do this not simply because others were stupid and not afraid, but entirely because he was a disciple of the Mo family craftsman sect and had a lot of experience in the construction and operation of ships.

After Jin Shi's careful observation, he found that Mu Fengxiang's gorgeous big ship was also built by their craftsmen, so in his mind, he should be able to easily control this big ship.

So, under his coercion and temptation, the sailors on the ship finally untied the sails from the mast.

And with the untie of the sails, the whole side of the boat seemed to be pushed by a huge palm, and the speed was raised in an instant.

This made Li Yi and the others in the cabin feel their feet shake instantly, but soon the speed of the ship stabilized.

Looking at the scene around him flashing rapidly, Jin Shi finally felt a little more comfortable. He stood at the bow of the boat, holding the rudder in one hand and his waist in the other, as if he was in control.

The rest of the people on the deck were already scared and shivering on the deck. Because they understand how dangerous this old water sandwiched in the mountains is.

There are countless undercurrents and reefs, which can lead to the destruction of ships and deaths, so they are extremely careful when driving in the water, for fear of making a mistake.

But now Jin Shi, a madman, doesn't care about everyone's safety at all, and driving the boat so fast is really hard to itch.

But now that he had raised the speed of the ship to this level, everyone could only curse him in their hearts and pray to the gods and Buddhas to bless everyone with safety.

Because Li Yi's ship was speeding up and chasing them, Nan Yi suddenly capsized for a while.

If he chooses to speed up at this time, he may be able to catch up with Li Yi and the others, but it is also likely to cause the ship to hit the reef and eventually capsize.

But if they don't speed up the pursuit, then the distance between them and Li Yi and the others will become wider and wider, and they are likely to lose each other's traces in the end.

"The ship in front of Nan Shuai suddenly accelerated, should we also speed up to catch up?" A Vietnamese soldier suddenly ran over and asked for instructions from Nan Yeke.

But Nan also didn't know if he should take the risk. Just as Nan Yi was hesitating, suddenly a voice came from the ship.

"Spread the sails and speed up." As soon as these words came out, the soldiers on board quickly opened their sails, and the wind in the mountains soon blew the sails into swells.

Nan Ye looked at it and realized that the person who had just spoken was an old man of about fifty or sixty years old. Although the old man's back was already a little rickety, there was a fine light in his eyes, and his eyes were not as cloudy as ordinary old people.

The old man was dressed in a close-fitting servant's garment, and his clothes were much neater than the others.

"Steward Yi, what do you mean by this? Do you know that it is very dangerous to sail in this old water? Although Mu Fengchang wants to have a good relationship with Yue Guo, he doesn't want to block it with his own life.

After all, his life is still very short, and he still has a good time to enjoy, how can he block his life because of this little thing.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the old man knows it." The old man, who was known as Steward Yi, had a calm face, and he walked slowly in front of Mu Fengchang and Nan Ye.

"Steward Yi is such a dangerous place, you don't have to take risks!" Just as Mu Fengchang's words fell, the speed of the boat they were on immediately soared, and the huge inertia almost made Mu Fengchang and Nan Yi fall on their heels.

"Your Highness, things are actually not as dangerous as you think." Although Steward Yi was not young and hunched over, he stood on the deck as if he had nails under his feet.

"Are you sure?" Mu Fengchang asked anxiously while leaning on the railing of the boat.

"Your Highness, look at the ship of the prince of Tan Guo in front of you, the wind is speeding in the water, and there is no sign of slowing down, what does this mean?"

"What else can be said about it, but that the person who runs the ship on their ship is a madman now." Mu Fengchang said dissatisfiedly, in his opinion, his steward Yi was as crazy as the person who operated the boat on Mu Fengxiang's boat in front of him.

Steward Yi also heard his son's dissatisfaction with him at this time, but as the personal butler arranged by the King of Shu to take care of Mu Fengchang, Steward Yi knew that the glory and wealth of his life were bound to the kid in front of him.

Even if this kid is cowardly, cowardly, and incompetent, he can't abandon him. Because these people, once they are assigned to someone else, there are only two things they can do in this life.

One is to pray to the gods and Buddhas that their masters will be safe and healthy, so that only then can they, who are servants, have someone to shelter.

The other is to make plans for his master, so that his master will become the king of Shu in the future.

Only when his master becomes the new king of Shu in the future can his value be reflected. And now this great opportunity is placed in front of him and his master.

It is said that the icing on the cake is easy, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, once they help Nan Yi catch up with the ship, and catch the murderers of the two sons of the Yue Kingdom, then his master Mu Fengchang will become the most outstanding existence in the entire Shu Kingdom.

And at that time, he will also become one of the best existences in Shu.

"Your Highness, in the opinion of the old slave, the reason why the ship of the prince of Tan Guo in front of him is moving so fast means that the channel ahead is safe, as long as we follow them and follow the route they are traveling, we will be safe." His words made Nan Yi's eyes light up, and he instantly felt that what this Steward Yi said was very reasonable.

After all, the other party's ships have already passed, as long as they follow the ships in front closely, then even if the speed of the ship on their side is high, there will be no danger.

"But what if the ship of the prince of Tan Guo in front of him hits the reef and sinks, what should we do?" Mu Fengchang was still worried about whether their ship would be in danger at this time.

"Your Highness, as long as we keep a certain distance from them, even if they knock down the reef and sink, we will be able to detect it in time and slow down the ship." Steward Yi stroked his beard and smiled proudly.

"What a plan! Steward Yi is really a master of wisdom. Nan Ye couldn't help but secretly give Steward Yi a thumbs up.

"Nan Shuai falsely praised the old decay and can't afford your evaluation, you are the real civil and military and resourceful." Steward Yi clenched his fists slightly and saluted.

······ While the two were flattering and complimenting each other, the ship of the prince of Qi Province was still hanging behind their ship, swaying forward unhurriedly.

And the two cavalry on the shore were also lost at this time, and Nan could guess that they might have been left behind by the heirloom for a long time.

"Immediately raise the flag and give it to the boats behind to let them spread their sails and speed up the march." The soldiers around Nan Ye Ke immediately ran to the deck behind the ship and waved flags to deliver the news to the ships of Qi behind them.

But when their flag was finished, the Qi ships behind did not show the slightest sign of acceleration. Because of this, the distance between their two ships is getting farther and farther away.

This made Nan Yi very anxious, and he realized that his previous plan to divide the soldiers into three points seemed to have some hidden dangers.
