Chapter Ninety-Six: Crossing the Heavenly River (I)
"The water thief is cunning, and he doesn't know the details of the chief when he goes early, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. ”
"You're pretty good. Ximen Tian praised.
"It's a bit crooked. Wei Jiuyuan nodded frequently.
Although Ma Zhao thought so, the news transmission speed of the government was much faster than him.
More than 100 miles away, it is the surging river.
More than 10,000 years ago, the river was once a moat, separating the north and the south. The south of the river is the south country, which is called the south, and the north of the river is the north country, which is called the north.
The two have been holding each other for more than 2,000 years. Although the ship could only accommodate 100 people at that time, it was not enough to form a large-scale war, but it also reflected the width of the river from the side.
It wasn't until later that there was a craftsman named Gang in the southern country, and the ship locks were connected to it, leading hundreds of thousands of sailors to attack the north. The Northern Kingdom perished.
The river flows endlessly, it has never dried up since the historical records, it is said that the place where the upper reaches of the river passes, is the edge of the sky, so it is called the Tianjiang River again.
In the place where the Tianjiang River has been flowing for tens of thousands of years, it has been squeezed and piled up to form alluvial islands. This is where the islands in the river come from.
The danger of the water thieves taking advantage of the Tianjiang River and flowing in the upper reaches of the river is a disaster for the government.
At this moment, on Liuli Island, there is an official ship slowly docking.
"Report to the big boss, an official ship has come. "The angle of the goggles in the center of Liuli Island was immediately aimed at the official ship.
"Oh, how many?" said a seductive voice from an animal-skin chair in a rather luxurious room.
"There is only one. ”
"Is it a bait?" leaned on a leather chair with a small and lovely Jiangnan woman.
"Forget it, catch them. ”
Less.
"The big boss, the villain Sun Dezhi, specially presented a thousand taels of silver, please take a look at the big boss. A person dressed in a fine costume respectfully asked his subordinates to open the box.
"It turned out to be dog eat dog. ”
"It's so ugly. Sun Dezhi laughed.
By the river, it is the rising moon of tomorrow.
The big waves rushed in, carrying layers of sand from the bottom of the river to the shore. I don't know how many years of lapping on the shore of the reef have smoothed the edges and corners slightly, and there is a little moss growing on it.
As far as the eye can see, the rolling sky and the east of the river are passing away.
"This river is really vast and magnificent. Ximen Tian saw the waves crashing on the shore, and there was a lot of pride in his heart.
"Yes, what a magnificent! But my Ma Zhao has been wandering the rivers and lakes for decades, but I have not gained a name. ”
The officers and men of all armies have never seen such a magnificent scene, and they are full of pride in their hearts, but somehow it is difficult to express it.
"Bring the wine!" Ma Zhao shouted.
"Yes, take the wine. Ximen Tian was suddenly shocked and commanded.
"But it is forbidden to drink alcohol on the march. "The Overseers are embarrassed.
"It's okay, after everyone drinks a glass of wine, we cross the river. Ximen Tian slapped open the wine seal and made a bold statement.
The moonlight was quietly hidden in the clouds.
"Let's go. As soon as Simon Tian gave the order, one hundred and ten sergeants stepped forward to pull the big ship.
"Let's go. Ximen Tian was the first to board the ship.
"Quick, bring the horses and baggage!" the two generals in the back urged.
"Yes!"
"And the armor, for the time being, on a big ship. If you fall into the water, the armor is heavy, and it will hinder your movements. Ximen Tian instructed.
"Yes!"
After another half an hour, all the bits and pieces were finally loaded onto the ship.
"General, there is a lot of gold and silver on board. Nan Ji carried a bow and arrows on his back and stepped onto the deck.
"Don't touch them. Ximen Tian looked at the gradually fading stars in the sky and was silent.
I don't know when the fog has quietly filled the river.
The big boat moved smoothly on the river, and the river became docile at some point, and the water flowed quietly to the east.
"Jiang Tian has no ......" Ximen Tian burst into poetry, holding Sinan in his hand and looking up at the sky.
"Where's the moon?
"Ma Zhao!
"What's wrong?" shouted both of them, hurrying out of the cabin.
"What's going on?" Ximen Tian pointed to the white expanse in the distance.
"Like, it's foggy. Ma Zhao climbed to the deck and looked into the distance, and the connection between the water and the sky seemed to add a layer of gradient color.
"It's okay or good. "Ximen Tian is dressed in white, and he has a bit of an immortal's ethereal atmosphere.
"Brothers, that Sun Dezhi also said that there are not only baggage and armaments on that big ship, but also gold and silver. The big guy is just this once, and this life will be worry-free. Hahaha!" Nangong Feng laughed wildly.
"But the team leader, they are the elite of Zhengnan, how can we beat them?" said one person weakly.
"Idiot. Nangong Feng went up and rewarded him with a chestnut.
"It hurts. ”
"Each of us is a good hand at the water, and when the time comes, we just need to surround their big boat with a small boat. Hum. Nangong Feng continued to encourage.
"Hey, hey, hey, let those northern landlubbers see how good we are in the south. The water thieves shouted one after another.
"You still have to be careful, don't lose all the little girl's people, it's not easy for the government to stop the people. A pair of embroidered shoes appeared in the eyes of everyone, followed by the beautiful and petite Jiangnan woman.
"Big boss. The crowd bowed their heads.
"Tonight, the little girl will go out in person. The Jiangnan woman sighed faintly.
Above the river.
"The ship is still a little shaky. Ximen Tian felt a little nauseous.
"Yes, there are a lot of military masters who have vomited. In contrast, Ma Zhao seemed more calm.
"You say, this Tianjiang is now foggy, and you can't see anything. Will it hit the rocks? Ximen Tian looked a little worried.
In fact, at this moment, Sinan has long lost his role. Ximen Tian now relies on the seven-star lamp to guide the direction.
"Probably not. "Du Ming has been a guide for more than ten years, although he is familiar with the north, after all, he has not been to the south, nor has he crossed the river.
After a while, there was a faint singing voice in the distance.
"Did you hear that?" Ximen Tian closed his eyes, his ears twitching slightly.
"What do you hear?" Wei Jiuyuan was also dressed in white, and pressed his sword forward.
"Strange, how can there be a woman's voice on this river? Is it an illusion?" Ximen Tian felt as if the voice had disappeared again.
"There won't be ghosts. The soldiers standing guard around the deck had just finished throwing up, trying to raise their heads and whisper.
"In this Tianjiang, there should be no evil spirits to do it. Ximentian deliberately made his voice louder, but he had many doubts in his heart.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the ship was hit hard, and the whole hull jerked violently.
"What's going on!" the soldiers panicked and ran out of the cabin.
"Vomit!" The hull jolted even harder, and many soldiers couldn't stand the jolt and couldn't help but vomit.
Ximen Tian stumbled and almost fell.
At this moment, the hook line set up the ship from all sides.
