Volume 1 The Birds Go, the People Disperse Chapter 20 Breakthrough
In the morning sun, the colorful clouds in the sky are connected, but wisps of blood flow from the grass and trees on the ground.
Tianshan set up ambushes everywhere, but was caught off guard by the opponent's thousand-strong elite raid, and finally watched them break out of the encirclement and disappeared. However, there is still a final comprehensive blockade arranged on Guangling Road in the rear, which can block the way.
Denglai Navy Tent, Jackdaw has already returned, but what he brought back is not good news, Han Jin has not slept all night, and he did not give the order to attack the village today, and the two of them looked at the news of the defeat of Tianshan that had just been transmitted, and they both felt a big headache.
"How did Guangling Dao do it, is this how he set up an ambush? and let the other party sneak attack. Han Jin was obviously very angry, he was about to close the net on his side, but Guangling Dao was on the Tianshan side, but the chain had been dropped.
"The whereabouts of the three princes are unknown again, and now we must confirm whether there are any three princes in the thousand-strong team that raided in the early morning. At this point, I will inform the Guangling Road side to send someone to investigate. But I'm more worried about the reeds in the Xishui area, they have been going north from Kyoto to here, and the reeds are a terrain that Heijiaozhai is very familiar with, and I hope that General Han will shrink the defensive line, so as not to let the thieves escape with the three princes. β
.......................................................................................................................
The thin water and reeds swayed, and a small boat rushed left and right in a green reed, swaying and rowing out the water blockade caused by the soldiers' hard work, silently.
Wu Zhonglu, who was short in stature but full of tattoos, sat on the bow of the boat, and along the way he drove this small boat several times to avoid the detection of the small boat that the soldiers were riding, constantly shuttling through the dense reeds, although the direction often changed, he could always find the exit accurately, and finally broke through the encirclement. However, there are still thousands of soldiers on the shore waiting to set up a blockade, which requires abandoning the ship and swimming in the water.
Wu Zhonglu is the water commander in the village, needless to say, Wang Qi has traveled to the rivers and lakes for many years, and it is still no problem to swim in the water, only Zhao Kai is left, he has only learned to swim for a while, and it is really difficult for him to swim wild in such a big river.
"In this way, I will make a small inhaling tube with a reed pole, so that the little brother can inhale, and as for swimming, we can tie a rope and take him to speed up. Wu Zhonglu looked at the two and said. In his expectation, there should still be a small tentative battle today, but it was almost time, there was still no movement, thinking of this order that made him risk bringing out the two, his heart was even more puzzled, but the sleepless night was just to break through this blockade, and they were almost to the shore, how could they retreat.
The three of them abandoned the boat and went into the water, and Wang Qi and Wu Zhonglu took turns to alternately, tied a rope and swam forward with Zhao Kai at a faster speed. The two big and one small figures in the water are as lively as swimming fish, Zhao Kai gradually adapted to sneaking in the water, and the speed of the other two people was mentioned again, and then Zhao Kai was allowed to adapt, so repeatedly, the speed was extremely fast. Unexpectedly, just after a while, the reed pole was immersed in the water and lost its effect, and the three of them had to speed up the frequency of water ventilation.
According to the agreed plan, the three of them need to find a place where their troops are weak and go ashore, and it is best not to alarm the soldiers and sneak away. According to Wu Zhonglu, about two miles downstream along this thin water, a shallow beach will be divided, and there will be a shallow beach on it, which is also lush with aquatic plants, which is easy to hide.
Time passed minute by minute, Wu Zhonglu, who was swimming in the forefront, finally stopped his figure, shook his hand, signaled to stop, the three slowly gathered together, Wu Zhonglu pointed forward, and the other two looked in the direction, only to see that the riverbed in front of him was gradually getting higher, and it was covered with aquatic plants, most of which had broken out of the water, and were densely packed.
Finally arrived, three heads came out of the aquatic weeds, this is the benefit of the shallows, the riverbed is not high, the three of them have already reached the shore.
Wu Zhonglu whispered: "You wait, I'll go and explore first." β
A sound sounded from the sound of Suosuo, and the soldiers who were lying in the shadows did not feel strange, this place was still two miles away from the reeds battlefield, and it could not be a strange soldier on the opposite side, it was a small fish.
However, the next moment, when a biting chill came from the back of their necks, they had no time to regret it. In the midst of a few silent rabbits and eagles, a team of eight people completely cut off the connection with the world.
After that, the three of them hid all the way, trying to avoid the soldiers in teams, and only killed people when necessary, although they were detected twice in advance, but with the skills of Wang Qi and Wu Zhonglu, they still did not cause much movement. At dusk, although the other side was obviously alert, its so-called blockade had been cut into a gap, and the day's hiding was finally over.
Wu Zhonglu simply said goodbye and left, Wang Qi and Zhao Kai did not make repairs, and hurried away in the starry night.
At that time, the four of them discussed in the village to meet in Shudi Qilin Villa, although Zhao Kai was very worried about the current situation of Yang Xiao and the big hammer, but now he can only believe that they have the ability to get out of danger and take one step at a time.
In this way, for a few days, Wang Qi and Zhao Kai kept walking, and finally reached the border between Shu and Jiangnan Province. A small city comes into view, different from the towns that Zhao Kai has seen before, although it is also prosperous here, and business travelers come and go, but it is windy and sandy, much rougher than the picturesque Jiangnan of the Yangtze River. The two found a hotel to stay in, ready to take a break, and at the same time inquired about the news of Heijiao Village.
The first floor of the hotel is a place for diners to eat, drink and eat, and there is an old man who is only half a hundred years old sitting in the middle of the specially carved area, telling stories in high spirits. The noon sun is overhead, not scorching, the sun is sprinkled on the first floor of the hotel with the door wide open, the sun is warm, and it is very comfortable. The old man's voice sounded in a low voice, and everyone listened attentively.
"Anyway, you all know that now in our Dafeng, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the court, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the suppression of bandits in Jiangnan Province, our Dafeng is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, and even the soldiers of Anning Road and Guangling Road are put into the battlefield, but the strange thing is that after the first few days of onslaught, these days have stopped, but I heard that the blockade on all sides is getting tighter and tighter, and there is in the Tianshan Mountains, the junction of Guangling Road and Jiangnan Road, which was searched by the soldiers over and over again, and I heard the gossip that it was searching for people, what people do you say are searching, I don't believe it anyway, it can't be the prince of our Dafeng who lost itγ β
Hearing this, everyone in the audience laughed, but Wang Qi and Zhao Kai in the corner glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.
Zhao Kai asked in a low voice: "If you even dare to say such a big rebellious thing, you are not afraid that someone will go to the government to report and punish him." β
"Dafeng is now under the rule of the Son of Heaven, implements benevolent government, and the management is relatively enlightened, plus this Shu land is located on the border of our dynasty, and the people are indeed strong, but I am really not afraid that this words and deeds will be reported. β
I only heard that the old man had finished the topic of Heijiao Village, took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and continued: "Everyone knows that there is a major event in the rivers and lakes of our Shu land now, and this is also the rumor that came out today. β
"Don't sell it, talk about it. The audience shouted.
At this time, a little boy walked out of the crowd with a big bowl, everyone knew that this was the rule, and they all had an appetite for what they had just said, so they simply took out a few copper plates and handed them to the bowl.
"This matter is related to our Shudi Jianghu giant Qilin Villa. It is said that the unicorn has three treasures, one is the fifth sword in the sword spectrum, which is held by the current owner of the villa, He Longbow, and the other is the legendary rare medicinal material Longshou Wu, which can live and die human flesh and bones, and the last one is the golden light recipe of the inner strength of the disciples who only pass on the master of the village in each generation. This time the matter is related to the last treasure of the golden light recipe, it is said that the daughter of the owner of the Qilin Mountain Villa has an eye disease since she was a child, and her vision is difficult, although the owner of the village has been asking for treatment from a famous doctor, but it is useless, three days ago, a young man disguised as a famous doctor came to the door to offer a prescription, and somehow deceived the experienced owner of the river and lakes He Longbow, and then used a secret method to avoid the guards and entered the treasure pavilion of the villa, and stole out of the golden light trick, and what is even more amazing is that this person was finally detected by the owner He Longbow, and he directly performed a strange light skill to escape, and even the owner did not catch upγ β
"With such a high level of light work, it won't be Yeyun returning to his old business. β
"How is it possible, this night the clouds have already taken refuge in the Black Corner Village, and now they should be busy coexisting with the brothers in the village. β
"If you don't say that this thing is strange, now Qilin Villa is pouring out, a large number of disciples are scattered outside to inquire about the news, and the owner of the village, who is usually extremely hospitable, is also really angry, and has blocked the door of the village in the past few days, and no longer sees guests. β
Hearing these discussions, Zhao Kai and Wang Qi had a big head for a while, and Wang Qi whispered: "I can only think about it in the long run, and find another way to contact Yang Xiao and the big hammer."
Just when the stage was full of fun and the discussion was intense, a Lang Zhong carried a banner alone and stepped into the main gate, and the banner read, "Contemporary divine doctor, wonderful hands and benevolence." Only ten yuan, medicine to the disease to get rid of the sixteen words, dressed as a charlatan, everyone discussed enthusiastically at this time, but they didn't pay too much attention to the doctors who are not uncommon in the rivers and lakes.
On the seat facing the door, Wang Qi and Zhao Kai were interested in the contrast caused by the great tone on the banner and the extremely cheap price, and kept looking at this person, only to see that the other party's eyebrows were delicate, although the appearance was young, but this simple robe was a foil to the other party's sense of being a master of the world. And the other party walked straight to the counter, handed over the silver, and was about to go upstairs, but suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai couldn't help but cast an inquiring look at Wang Qi, but Wang Qi shook his head, saying that he didn't see anything wrong.
The next moment, Lang Zhong waved his hand in the direction of the two of them quite familiarly, and then walked straight over, Zhao Kai looked back, there was only a fairly brand-new wooden wall behind him, and there was no one, which confirmed that this benevolent brother really wanted to come to them.
Wang Qi squinted his eyes tightly, carefully probing whether there were any qi fluctuations around him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, quietly waiting for the man's approach.
