Chapter 9: Attack on the river
In Zhao Yi's scope, the strange man who stepped on the stump actually made evasive actions at the same time as the gunshot.
But unfortunately, the bullet still hit his body, knocking the strange figure into the air and falling into the river with a thud.
Zhao Yi didn't dare to be careless, he pulled the bolt to withdraw the cartridge case, and once again put his eyes on the scope, looking at the empty piece of wood floating back and forth in the river, the strange man did not surface for a long time, and should have been killed.
"Whew~"
Zhao Yi put away the 98K and replaced it with a more portable M1971 Colt pistol, which has a semi-automatic and double-action firing design, and the body is all made of stainless steel, which is easy to maintain, stable and reliable, and is also equipped with a fifteen-round large-capacity magazine.
Zhuge Liang, who was hiding in the cabin, saw that Zhao Yi had put away the strange tube, poked his head out and asked, "Hongfei, what happened just now?" ”
Zhao Yi spread his hands and said: "There is a suspicious person approaching our ship, with a murderous aura on his body, I can only strike first, I hope there is no mistake." ”
"With a murderous aura? This ......"
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Brother Zijing, who knows about your visit to Xiakou this time?"
Lu Su frowned and said: "There are very few people who know that I came to Xiakou except my lord, but those people are the mainstays of my Eastern Wu, and they will never do such a thing." ”
Zhao Yi guessed: "Could it be that Xiakou leaked the news?" ”
Zhuge Liang twisted his beard lightly, and the light in his eyes flashed slightly, "No matter who is coming, his purpose should be to sabotage our trip to Jiangdong, but who wants to see an alliance between the two of us the least?" ”
"Brother Kong Ming, you mean...... Someone sent by Cao Cao? ”
"It can only be him."
Zhao Yi was a little puzzled when he heard Zhuge Liang's speculation, if Cao Cao really sent someone to assassinate them, he would never send only one person, and more importantly, Cao Cao only saw his power in Changbanpo, did he send someone to pretend to be a coercive to die?
Zhao Yi was a little puzzled, and the two extremely smart people in front of him were the same as him.
Suddenly, at this moment, the alarm bell rang loudly in Zhao Yi's heart, he turned around and pulled out his gun, and his movements were done in one go, aiming at the bubbling river behind him and shouting: "Military advisor, Mr. Zijing, be careful!" ”
"Bang Bang Bang~"
Zhao Yi fired three shots at the churning river before the strange movement calmed down, but before he could relax his vigilance, a figure jumped up from under the water, and the figure's long wet hair was attached to his cheeks to cover his face, but it could be seen from the robes on his body that it was the person who had just stepped on the stump and moved across the river.
"What the hell? Eat me a 98K and still be alive? Still doing such a difficult move? ”
Zhao Yi was surprised in his heart, but he kept moving in his hands, and the M1971 hit two shots in succession.
The man seemed to have taken precautions, and at the moment before Zhao Yi pulled the trigger, he actually grabbed a boatman and stopped in front of him, and the two bullets all hit the boatman's body.
The strange man kicked behind the boatman, forcing Zhao Yi to no longer shoot, and then he flipped backwards and out, and when he was still in the air, a snowy light flashed from top to bottom, cutting off Zhao Yi and the others in the wooden boat.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, who were hiding in the cabin, fell into the river at the same time, the latter was okay, after all, he had lived in Jiangdong for a long time and was familiar with the water, but our Mr. Wolong was miserable, he could only do some dog planing, and at this moment he fell into the river and choked several mouthfuls of water, and he was about to sink to the bottom.
"Strategist!?"
Zhao Yi, who was standing at the stern of the ship and stabilized his figure, was anxious when he saw this scene, he touched the gun tattoo on his right arm and returned to the warehouse, while taking advantage of the unequal time flow in the warehouse to force himself to calm down, while looking for a weapon that could be conducive to underwater warfare.
"Found it!"
Zhao Yi dug out a HKP-11 underwater silent pistol in the warehouse, which has five barrels, can be loaded with five rounds of ammunition at a time, and has an effective underwater range of 15 meters, which is very suitable for carrying out covert infiltration missions.
He reloaded his ammo and adjusted his breathing, thinking back to the trick that the strange man had just used, and he couldn't help but wonder a little.
Zhao Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Lu Su were still discussing whether Cao Cao sent them to destroy the Sun-Liu alliance one moment ago, but the next moment this ghost thing that appeared out of nowhere launched an attack on them.
And what made Zhao Yi feel the most strange was that the target of that person's attack was not Zhuge Liang, nor Lu Su, but him, a small soldier who had just been promoted to the rank of chief.
"Hell, why would someone come to assassinate me? This Zhao Yi is an ordinary side branch disciple of the Changshan Zhao family, why did the killer come to assassinate me? What the hell ......"
Zhao Yi couldn't figure out the purpose of this killer's assassination of him, but he didn't dare to delay it now, and if he delayed any longer, Mr. Military Division would have to sleep in this river if he didn't succeed.
Touching the tattoo back into the tumbling river, Zhao Yi took a breath and turned over and dived, raising the gun in his hand in the direction of the strange man falling into the water.
Although the strange man fell into the water, he didn't seem to have any intention of letting Zhao Yi go, he stepped on the water with both feet, the speed was extremely fast, and a scimitar in his hand reflected a chilling light.
"I see how you hide in the water, go and die!"
Zhao Yi raised his hand and fired all the pre-loaded bullets in his magazine.
This underwater special pistol obviously made the killer have no time to react, and his movements in the water were not as flexible as on the water, and the five bullets all hit the killer's body, and the five red liquids quickly stained the river water, and the killer struggled a little in the water and then lost his life.
Zhao Yi didn't look at the other party's life or death after firing the gun, but quickly swam in the direction of Zhuge Liang.
He dragged the military advisor who had stopped struggling with one hand to float quickly, and only after he came out of the river did he see that Lu Su was looking for the two of them everywhere not far in front of him, and he was overjoyed when he saw the two of them floating out of the river and said: "This way~~Swim this way~~"
Zhao Yi, as a former special member of the Marine Corps, needless to say, although he still pulled a Zhuge Liang, he later overtook Lu Su, swam to another wooden boat on the river, and with the help of the boatman, Zhuge Liang was transported up, and he also climbed onto the deck.
Zhao Yi turned over and dragged Lu Su onto the boat, and then went to see Zhuge Liang's situation.
"Strategist, Strategist?"
Zhao Yi shouted twice, and seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't react, he hurriedly flattened it and pressed it a few times with his hand on his chest.
It wasn't until Zhuge Liang spit out a mouthful of water with a violent cough "wow" that Zhao Yi was relieved.
"A few gentlemen, hurry, the river is cold, don't be infected with the wind cold, there are a few dry clothes here, change them quickly."
The ship rescued by several people belonged to a businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and he saw that Zhuge Liang and Lu Su were extraordinary, and their clothes were not like ordinary people, so he did not dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly led the three into the cabin and found dry clothes for them to change.
Zhuge Liang choked a lot of water and looked a little sluggish, but Lu Su was fine.
"This old man, I don't know where to go?"
The old man clenched his fists and said, "The old man is going to Fankou to sell some goods." ”
When Lu Su heard this, he happened to be on the same road with them, and immediately dragged the old man to a place where no one was talking in a whisper.
Zhao Yi didn't know what they said, but after finishing speaking, the old man's face changed significantly, and he bowed deeply to Lu Su, and hurriedly asked people to prepare some food.
Zhao Yi had already determined that the attacker had died at the bottom of the river, so he changed into dry clothes and sat next to Zhuge Liang and said, "Strategist, how are you?" It doesn't look good. ”
Zhuge Liang was trembling wrapped in his clothes, as if he had been frightened.
"None...... It's okay, this trip to Jiangdong is of great significance, I must not have anything, I must not have anything......"
Zhuge Liang whispered, and after a while, he fell asleep.
Zhao Yi didn't bother when he saw him asleep, and walked to the deck to think about who was going to assassinate him, but after thinking about it, he didn't even have a clue, just thought that the other party recognized the wrong person.
The trio spent the night on the merchant ship and docked at Fankou Wharf the next day.
Lu Su first arranged for Zhao Yi and Zhuge Liang to live in the post house, and then went out to find the local army in charge of defense, revealed his identity to come to a ship, and also found a doctor for Zhuge Liang.
There is no other reason, Zhuge Dajunshi, he has a fever.
