Zhou Yingqiu peeked at the lake and saw a building boat cleaving the waves and sailing towards them. Flags were planted on both sides of the hull, the flute drums in the cabin were thunderous, and one person stood majestically at the bow of the ship with a big ring knife at his waist. Zhou Yingqiu looked at the standing man, the eagle's eyebrows were upside down, the crane's eyes were round, and his clear face showed deep marks in his debut under the erosion of the years. The silver whiskers under the chin are bright and snowy, fluttering and dancing with the wind.

When he was wondering, the old man with a blue beard suddenly made a move to clear the waves without a trace, and came to the shore by treading the waves. Zhou Yingqiu asked about the identity of the person who came, it was Zhao Zhuolong, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang. He was ordered by Cao Qincheng, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, to wait for Zhou Yingqiu here to handle the transfer and escort of the prisoners. Zhou Yingqiu inspected Zhao Zhuolong's waist card, and sure enough, it was owned by Cao Qincheng, he turned around and ordered Jinyiwei to take Cunyi out of the prisoner car and hand it to Zhao Zhuolong.

Zhao Zhuolong waved his hand at the two gangsters at the hatch, signaling them to escort the prisoners to the ship. Yufeng saw Cunyi's bruises all over her body, her former handsome face, full of sad and sad expressions, her heart suddenly felt love and pity, and a delicate tear couldn't help rolling down from the corner of her eyes.

Zhou Fei whispered to her to restrain her emotions so as not to fall short. Yufeng slowed down, trying her best to maintain her inner peace. The two escorted Cunyi into the cabin, Zhao Zhuolong said a few words to Zhou Yingqiu, and drove the boat to the lake on the grounds of important matters.

When Lou Chuan gradually blurred in his vision, Zhou Yingqiu thought about it left and right, and felt more and more that there was something wrong. A brocade guard came to his side and reminded: "Your Excellency, General Cao asked us to hand over the prisoners to him, why didn't there be a palindrome of Zhu Yin who commanded the embassy?"

A word woke up the dreamer. Only then did Zhou Yingqiu know where the leak was, and he hurriedly ordered the Jinyi guard to lead the boat to chase after him.

Cunyi stepped on the boat and saw that it was Zhao Zhuolong who was walking slowly in front of him, and he said coldly: "The surname Zhao, I, Yang Cunyi, have arrived in your hands, but I just got out of the tiger's den and entered Longtan again." What kind of conspiracy and tricks does Wei Zhongxian's old thief play, isn't it too troublesome to toss back and forth like this? Give the master a good time as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Zhuolong chuckled, stretched out his hand and took off the mask and fake beard, and Cunyi took a closer look at it, and it turned out to be his righteous brother Zhou Fei. He exchanged tears and kept shouting at Zhou Fei. Zhou Fei pointed behind him and said, "Brother Yi, look at who is coming?"

Cunyi turned around and saw that Yufeng was looking at him affectionately with fairy eyes. His heart was full of tenderness, and he stretched out his arms to hug her. Yufeng shyly pushed him away and said to him: "Brother Zhou and Third Brother Yu are here, what do you look like hugging and hugging like this." ”

Zhou Fei and Yu San looked at each other and smiled, turned around and returned to the cabin to drink and talk freely, leaving Cunyi and Yufeng to pour out their affection.

Cunyi saw that the jade pineapple flower had a little sadness on her face, and he knew that Feng'er was worried that she would affect her thoughts, so that the whole person was a lot haggard. He brushed the tears from the corners of her eyes with his hand and stretched out his arms to take her into his arms. The jade phoenix snuggled up to Cunyi's chest, and the two enjoyed the intoxicating scenery together on the lake with soft waves and light gulls.

Just when the two of them were whispering and chattering and their love lingered, they only listened to the loud trumpets behind them and the sound of the flute and drums. Cunyi and Yufeng got up and saw that Zhou Yingqiu was standing at the bow of the masted ship, directing the Jinyi guards lined up on both sides, shooting arrows at them with strong bows and crossbows. Cunyi pulled away the jade phoenix, pulled out a command flag in his hand, and danced like a dragon rolling. The rain-like arrows fell into the water one after another, and Zhou Yingqiu was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and ordered Jinyiwei to prepare rockets

Burn down the ship.

The rockets have all been completed, and Zhou Yingqiu gave an order, and dozens of rockets and meteors rushed to the moon to attack the ship. Suddenly, the dust and smoke filled the sky, and Cunyi and Yufeng turned around to put out the fire on the one hand, and had to deal with the bright arrows and dark darts projected by the Jinyi Guard. Zhou Fei and Yu San walked out of the cabin, looking at the rising and tumbling flames in front of them, and they were also helpless.

Yu San's eyes were scorched, his hands were two forks, and he scolded Zhou Yingqiu. Zhou Yingqiu grinned and laughed wildly with a toad's big mouth,

He was full of vicious words, pointed at Cunyi and said: "You thieves, do you think that you can deceive the envoy by using a trick to deceive the heavens and seas? Today, the envoy let you all be buried in the belly of the fish to vent the hatred in my heart." ”

There is a saying, "Don't get carried away, be careful and be happy and sad." "Just when Cunyi and the others were besieged by the flames, their lives were in danger. From the back of the boat, two boats sailed out side by side, and a skinny man shouted at them: "Third master, Yang Shaoxia, I'm here." Everyone turned around and looked, and Shrimp came to help with the helpers. Yu Sanren and the others were overjoyed, and waved their hands to the shrimp again and again, asking him to row a boat to rescue him quickly.

Shrimp asked the gang to throw a flying catch, fastening it firmly to the stern, and the three of them jumped onto the canopy with the help of ropes. Zhou Yingqiu saw that Cunyi had escaped death, and his slender eggplant pear face was distorted together because of his anger. The brocade guards continued to prepare to unleash the rockets, but the billowing smoke obscured their eyes, and they could not determine the position of the canopy.

The sound of the oars swaying made Zhou Yingqiu furious, and he grabbed a brocade guard next to him like crazy and threw him into the lake. He ordered the brocade guard, who was familiar with the nature of the water, to dive under the water, trying to penetrate the canopy boat. The shrimp waved at the gang, and they held the hook and iron cable, and the sailors burrowed into the bottom of the lake like cleaving fish.

Zhou Yingqiu leaned down to look at the lake, and the mirror-like lake suddenly surged, and then splashed a swirling column of water. The giant whale gang and the Jinyi guards fought and fought in the water, like dragons in the sea. Everywhere you hear, the clash of blades and the terrifying shouts of killing. The surface of the lake was soaked in blood-red, and the water was a terrible sight.

After a short fight, the lake where the tide was rolling returned to calm, and Zhou Yingqiu continued to look down at the boat with a blank face. At this time, there was a "bang" sound around the masted ship, Zhou Yingqiu was so frightened that he ran from the bow to the stern like a headless fly, and then ran back to the bow from the stern. Wood chips scattered across the lake told him that someone was underwatering his mastboat.

Zhou Yingqiu took out the embroidered spring knife, held the side of the boat with one hand, and watched the movement of the lake nervously. The "bang" became more and more real, and Zhou Yingqiu's tense nerves were about to break. He poked the plank of the ship with an embroidered spring knife,

This futile resistance did not stop the mast from capsizing.

In a short time, a hole was pierced through the plank, and the lake spread like a spring to the mast. Facing the gradually sinking hull, Zhou Yingqiu became even more manic, the embroidered spring knife danced in the wind, and his heart-rending roar echoed on the silent lake.

Yu San said to the shrimp: "Heaven is according to the rules, and the retribution is not happy." Zhou Yingqiu has done a lot of evil, and today Taihu Lake is his burial place. After that, he ordered the shrimp to drive back to the gang and let Zhou Yingqiu fend for himself.

When Cunyi and the others went away by boat, Zhou Yingqiu was anxious to remove a pair of boat planks and jumped into the lake with it. He relied on the sampan to drift with the tide, and when the sun was late, hungry and helpless, the arrogant and domineering Zhou Yingqiu was physically and mentally exhausted, his mind was dark, and he felt that his deadline was approaching.

Qian Jin saw that Zhou Yingqiu insisted on taking the waterway, he knew that he could not persuade Zhou Yingqiu because of his humble position, and when he was annoyed and sad in the mansion, Feng Kai, the head catcher, walked in from outside. Seeing the prefect's decadent expression, he hurriedly asked what had happened? Qian Jin told Feng Kai in detail about someone sneaking into the mansion last night to deliver letters. After Feng Kai heard this, he said to Qian Jin: "My lord, Zhou Yingqiu is arrogant and conceited, this time he rashly took the waterway to escort the criminals.

I am afraid that I will fall for the tricks of thieves. ”

Feng Kai also had the same idea as himself, it seemed that the other party knew Zhou Yingqiu's personality well, and only by having insight into his mind could he give full play to the way of reality in the art of war. Qian Jin asked what Feng Kai should do?

Feng Kai pondered for a moment, and he told Qian Jin that the only priority at the moment was to send official ships to search along the lake, hoping to find Zhou Yingqiu. In addition, hurry up and send a message to Cao Qincheng, asking him to send a ship to pick him up.

Qian Jin has no objection to sending a boat into the lake to search and rescue, if the dignified Jinyi Wei Shi dies in his jurisdiction, his head will not be far from moving. As for what Feng Kai said about notifying Cao Qincheng to come, Qian Jin made a mistake in his heart.

He was worried that he would not be able to save Zhou Yingqiu, and after Cao Qincheng came, he would be punished with harsh means for a crime of poor protection. Besides, Zhou Yingqiu is also a conceited person, if he knew that Cao Qincheng saved him, he must have a grudge in his heart that someone told others about his embarrassment, then he would also find an opportunity to take revenge on Qian Jin in the future.

After weighing it repeatedly, the two decided to temporarily block the news from Cao Qincheng, and Feng Kai took the official ship to Taihu Lake to search. Boats searched the lake, their lanterns and torches illuminating the night as bright as day. Feng Kai told the officials that after finding Zhou Yingqiu, he took the arrow as his name. If you can't find it, you have to rush back here at the fourth watch, and then you will decide on remedial measures.

The ships scattered in all directions, trying to expand the scope of their search. Feng Kai asked the messenger to take out the geographical map of the water area and take a look, and he found that only Xiaomeizhou was easy for ships to hide, so he ordered the helmsman to swing the sails and march towards Xiaomeizhou.

When I arrived at Xiaomeizhou, it was already a cluster of stars, the moon was in the sky, and the deep lake was silent. Feng Kai's confidence was swallowed up little by little by the dark night, and he thought that Zhou Yingqiu must be more than lucky. While he was thinking, the officers saw sawdust floating on the water through their torches. One of them pointed with his hand to the water,

said to Feng Kai: "Feng Zhutou, you see, there are a lot of wood chips here. ”

His words disturbed Feng Kai's thoughts, Feng Kai leaned over and looked down, and sure enough, there were a large number of wood chips floating with the waves. Feng Kai was suddenly frightened, and he immediately knew that there had been a thrilling fierce battle here. It is an indisputable fact that Zhou Yingqiu encountered an ambush, the question is whether he is dead or alive?

Feng Kai ordered to increase the scope of the search, and at a waterway about twenty miles away from Xiaomeizhou, they found Zhou Yingqiu lying on a sampan. His whole body was swollen and swollen at this moment, and he was already dying when the people rescued him into the boat.
