After riding the current of the Upper Ryuquan River, the speed of the ferry is even faster than that of a fast horse.

The [boating] skill that Rann had acquired from Bernie was not even enough, because the Oriden hunters, who had been eating on the lake, had no experience of navigating such rivers at all.

It's still Kotaro among his subordinates.,Because he has lived near the Longquan River for generations.,Practiced the craft of exciting boating.。

The shallows and strange rocks along the way were avoided by him with ease.

According to him, before the situation of becoming a reedite country was not so bad, he also had a ferry boat at home.

It's just that as the blockade of Reeds by the inner government became more severe, the flow of people crossing the river became more and more scarce, and it gradually could not support the family's expenses.

The group drifted in the Longquan River, the sky was getting darker, and everyone's hearts were getting heavier and heavier.

As the sun's rays faded, the direction of Hira Gso radiated a warm orange glow from the ground to the sky.

In this day and age, this can only represent one scenario - a widespread fire!

Kotaro's movements as he held the oars suddenly became more violent.

He hasn't married yet, and only one mother still lives in the castle town of Hiratano, if something happens

The ferry soon approached Hiratano.

As he passed by a raised shoal in the center of the river, Lan's ears shook slightly, and he frowned and looked over.

But in the shallows in the middle of the river, there was only a dilapidated jar that had been abandoned by someone and washed up by the current.

"Did you hear anything?"

Lan asked the ronins beside him.

The person being asked frowned, and tilted his ears to try to get closer to Lane.

"What did you say?"

The witcher opened his mouth, then shook his head again.

Just now, he seemed to hear a strange and gentle voice calling him over, what business he wanted to do.

The water flow of Longquan River in this section is rapid and loud, and the sound rumbles, even covering the words of the people around him.

Even the hearing of a witcher could not have picked up the sound of a shallow beach more than ten meters away in such a noisy environment.

Is it like magic?

Lan En wasn't sure, but he didn't dare to take it lightly either.

Although so far, he has only seen the in-depth exploration of human beings in martial arts in this world. He really hadn't seen much of the supernatural phenomena of gods and ghosts.

But after Arya's world, he wouldn't easily conclude that it didn't exist.

"No, I heard me wrong, get ready to go ashore."

Calming the somewhat flustered ronin, Lan raised his voice and gave the order.

Not far away, the gate of Hirata Cottage when it came out in the morning was now devoid of guards.

Many ferries were crowded on the tidal flats next to the wooden bridge at the entrance.

In the darkness, the light of a faint torch flickered.

It's going to rain tonight, and sometimes a terrible thunder suddenly flashes in the sky, briefly illuminating the world.

The witcher's cat's eyes caught a glimpse of the gate at this moment.

The gate is still strong, and there are no signs of destruction, no traces of blood or knives from the battles fought here.

The gates of Hiratanoso were unguarded against these intruders from the beginning!

In the case of a lack of organizational integrity, a slight change in the shift schedule by the person in charge of the defense system can create a short gap.

In other words, the person who can create this kind of gap has a high status in Hiratano. I just don't know who was here when I went to see the prince.

At present, most of the armed forces in Zhuangzi followed the main force of Reeda to the frontal battlefield against the Neifu army.

And if the Hirata family fell at this time, the corners of Lan En's mouth twitched.

It is rare for an army to win against an enemy on its back.

Once Ashina loses and lets the head of the Inner Mansion drive straight in, it will not be uncommon for the Inner Mansion Army to kill people's heads.

Based on his limited knowledge during this time, Lan En speculated a little about the possible future situation. But none of them are optimistic.

And if this kind of unoptimistic scene does not become a reality, the Hirata family has to hold on!

"Kotaro, don't stop. Washed directly onto the tidal flats. Lan En's wide palm patted Kotaro on the shoulder.

"There are only five or six people there guarding the gate, kill them in the shortest possible time!"

"Oh!" *N

The ronins mustered up their hearts and grabbed their weapons. Their eyes already revealed the ferocity of being ready to fight.

The wooden bottom of the ferry slid into the mud of the tidal flats, and the sound of 'Carrara' collided with the gravel.

The six thieves who occupied the gate of Pingtianzhuang were complaining at this time that they had no chance to run into the village and plunder.

But then, one of them, who was standing near the gate, suddenly threw his head back as if he had been punched.

Then the body directly loses its ability to balance and adjust, and the muscles suddenly tense and straighten up, and then fall backwards.

His brain had just been pierced by a projectile projectile from Lan's arm.

The surrounding bandit companions didn't even have time to react.

Because visibility is too low for the average person, this response to a blow is common on the battlefield when a heavy blunt object is directly opened.

But now there are no outsiders around, where is the heavy blunt weapon.

Images that defy common sense can make people's minds confused for a while.

It was only a few seconds, but it was enough for Kotaro to steady the boat on the beach.

By the time the bandits reacted, they were ready to shout 'enemy attack' into the manor, but the wolf-like ronins led by Lan En had already rushed directly from the tidal flats onto the wooden bridge!

"Sine!"

Both sides are veterans who are skilled in fighting, and as soon as they meet, they use very vicious roars as a deterrent.

Then the cold blades slash at each other, or collide with the blades, knocking out sparks. Or go straight into the flesh and sprinkle blood flowers.

Lane had already arranged the candidates for the ronin assault on the ship, as well as their opponents.

So as soon as they went out in battle, the two pikemen directly relied on the length and speed of the spears and stabbed to death two bandits armed with two-handed axes.

A spear stabs are faster than a katana swing, let alone a two-handed axe.

The two thieves' axes hadn't yet been pulled out in a small half circle, and their bellies had already had a straight passage to their backs.

The rest is about the same, and in order to avoid being detected by the enemies in the manor, Lane has tried to reduce the combat time to a minimum.

He used his observation to set an opponent for each ronin who could finish the fastest.

Therefore, the ronin group, which is not big in numbers, actually completely ended the liquidation of the bandits at the gate in less than five seconds after the battle began.

Everything was going according to plan, and Rann didn't even look behind him again.

His palm wrapped his entire grip on the neck of a bandit, and with a 'snap' sound, the other party went limp.

Lan pushed the closed door of the Grange slightly, and found that the door had been bolted from the inside.

And in the midst of extraordinary hearing, the voices in the manor are still noisy.

Swords collide, muskets ignite, and shouts of fighting

He breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he didn't come back at least when it was irretrievable.

And just as Lan En was thinking about how to bring people into the manor, the ronins on the wooden bridge suddenly came to report.

"My lord, we found a ninja, and he still has a breath."

"Ninja?" The witcher frowned, "Take me to see it." ”
