It is said that after Wu Gengling succeeded to the throne, Empress Jiang felt that the general trend was no longer there, so she had to ask for help from Jiang Hengchu, the Marquis of Dongbo, who was far away in Donglu.

Due to the urgency and importance of the matter, Jiang Ghost had to go on the road in person and go to Donglu to plead his case.

She rode lightly on horseback with two of her men, galloped for more than 300 miles in one day, and reached the west side of Jishui in the afternoon of the next day.

It's just that when they arrived here, the three of them could be said to be extremely tired, and they had to find a farmer by the river to spend the night, but they didn't expect that there were unforeseen storms in the sky, and it rained heavily at night, and it didn't stop until the next morning.

The water swelled and broke the pontoon.

"Chen Liang, Wang Jiu, you two go up and down along the river bank to see if you can find the point to cross the river, if you find it, don't come back to me, immediately cross the river to Donglu to report the news...... If you can't find it, you'll meet here in the evening......"

The two messengers hurriedly set off, while the ginger ghost stayed where he was, using the wood from the farmer's house to make a simple raft.

The ginger ghost waited anxiously in place, hoping that the two men would not come back, but when it was almost dark, the two men returned to her.

"Your Excellency, the pontoon bridge upstream has also been washed away. ”

"The downstream is the same, and the water flows downstream, ......"

The ginger ghost braved the torrential rain and ran to the river to look at the turbulent water, and was stunned.

After standing for about a quarter of an hour, she suddenly showed a resolute expression: "Let's cross the river from here." ”

Chen Liang was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "When?"

"Now!"

"Now?!"

Looking at the turbid and surging Jishui River, Chen Liang and Wang Jiu both subconsciously took a few steps back.

The width of this water is only 10 zhang on weekdays, but now it is at least 30 zhang away, and it makes people feel scared just by looking at it.

"Archon, we can't get by. ”

"If you can't get by, you have to live. Jiang Ghost said with a resolute face: "Wu Geng has now got the help of Huang Feihu, and has obtained the support of the auxiliary ministers by ghostly means, Empress Jiang is already alone in the court; if Dong Bohou can't rush to the court before the enthronement ceremony begins, then no one in this world can prevent him from officially ascending the throne...... Wu Geng has a strange personality, and even the king of Xuan has been poisoned by him, and in the future, Queen Jiang, Yin Hong, and Yin Jiao will inevitably be humiliated......

You and I have received the grace of the Lord in three lifetimes, and now is the time for us to repay the Lord with our deaths, how can you retreat?"

"We can wait another day......"

"Can't wait. Jiang Ghost cut the nail and said: "After passing Jishui, there is the Wandering Soul Pass, after the Wandering Soul Pass, you can reach Donglu, and it will take at least three days to really reach the Dongbohou Mansion, after the Lord knows the news, he will also study countermeasures, gather soldiers, and then go to Chaoge, the army is not like only the three of us travel lightly, there are more things to consider." ”

Chen Liang and Wang Jiu glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads in shame and helplessness.

The three of them worked together to push the raft to the river, and the good people who had taken them in for accommodation were terrified.

When the peasants in this case saw their movements, they shouted in shock on the spot: "Three, don't go, this boat will easily fall apart...... Hey......"

Without hesitation, the three of them pushed the raft into the raging water, wrestling with the forces of nature in the rapids, and their strength was so strong that although they were carried away by the current, they soon disappeared from the eyes of the kind-hearted people.

Although the rafts were constantly being swept away by the water, on the whole they were heading towards the opposite shore.

Wood, sediment, and other foreign objects were washed down upstream, and they were carried in a mountain of seas, making it more and more difficult for them to control.

"Be careful, there's a whirlpool ahead, go around ......"

The three of them paddled hard together, but a log wrapped in the current hit one end of the raft, which happened to bring the raft closer to the whirlpool.

Just being lightly touched by the whirlpool, the raft turned in circles very disobediently, and the spare wood pulp flew directly into the torrent, and the three of them were a little dizzy, let alone control the raft.

At the critical moment, the ginger ghost raised the wood pulp in his hand and smashed it on the water.

There was only a crisp sound, and the wood pulp broke instantly, but the raft finally stopped spinning.

Jiang Ghost suppressed the churning qi and blood, and said loudly: "Don't be distracted, continue to control the raft to move forward......"

The remaining two continued to paddle hard, and the ginger ghost also took out a short knife to use as wood pulp.

Click!

The strange noise protruded, and the faces of the three people on the raft changed.

Although the raft had been prepared for a whole day, it was much stronger than the fishing boats of the farmers here, but due to the limitations of the material, it was still a little less capable of fighting the waves.

After entering the water, the wood and rope are wet with blisters, and the weight becomes larger, which makes the burden even heavier.

In addition, the sediment content in the water after the heavy rain was extremely large, and the lethality was countless times greater than usual, so the raft had just passed the middle of the stream, and it was already dying.

Jiang Ghost hurriedly said, "Quick, speed up...... Try to get as close to the other side as possible......"

The two also knew that at the moment of crisis, they had to fight for their lives, and they also gave up their strength, and the raft was rowed out of the dragon boat by the two of them.

But it also speeds up the decomposition of the raft.

Click.

The ropes that connected the raft broke off one after another, and in a few breaths, the whole raft began to quickly break down into a few pieces of wood and some useless ropes.

All three of them were extraordinary people, and each grabbed a piece of wood at the moment and floated on the surface of the water for the time being.

The waves mixed with mud and sand slapped mercilessly, and the three of them were gray in an instant.

Before they could come to their senses, a huge whirlpool appeared below, and this time the three of them, no matter who they were, had the strength to get around.

The ginger ghost grabbed Wang Jiu who was close and tried to throw him out of the whirlpool: "Do you remember to put the news...... Gollum ......"

She was quickly swept into the water by the whirlpool, and she didn't realize that because she didn't have much leverage now, she made a mistake in her prediction, and Wang Jiu saw that she was about to get out of the whirlpool, but she was dragged back by the whirlpool.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them and the wood they each held on to were swept under the water by a whirlpool, and they were constantly tumbling and sinking, and all their efforts were in vain in the face of the forces of nature.

Finished.

A trace of regret flashed in the ginger ghost's heart, and she realized that she shouldn't be so reckless.

Now not only is he going to die, but he will also affect Queen Jiang and Dong Bohou.

Suddenly, Jiang Ghost heard a sigh: "It's a pity that such a loyal person dies here......"

Drawing, the whirlpool seemed to become more turbulent, and the ginger ghost only felt that it was dark in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, the scenery in front of him was already very different.

No rain,

There is no river either,

There is only the familiar bluestone paved pavement, and the familiar wide and high courtyard.

Above the door are written four words: Dongbohou Mansion.

With a bang, the murky river water flowed down from them, staining the bluestone slabs yellow.

The wolf-like guards rushed out: "Where did you three come from?
