Chapter 42: Undercurrents are surging

Hundreds of boats compete for the current, and thousands of sails rise and fall.

In the last two days, there have been many more boats on the river than before...

The extra is not a fishing boat, not a merchant ship, but a passenger ship...

More than a dozen goshawks hovered at low altitude, many fishermen collected their nets one after another, and a few small boats docked...

"Lao Huang, are you lazy again? You are always like this, next year the third child of our family will go to the school, how to fix it..."

A dark-skinned woman walks by the hand of a small fishing boat that is docking. Looking at the palm-sized river carp in the trough, I was very displeased.

"Huh..."

"Don't talk so much, hurry up and help me clean up my belongings"

The fisherman on the boat hurriedly threw the small fish in the trough into the fish cage: "I guess it's going to be red again..."

The woman skillfully pulled up the fishing net and became a little panicked: "Is it the water thieves who have come to rob people again?"

"No, but it's pretty much the same. Anyway, it's definitely a big deal."

The fisherman covered the cage at will, tied the rope haphazardly, and led the woman to the shore.

"Remember what I told you yesterday that the sails weren't. In the morning, when I closed the net, I happened to pass by the ......."

"Did they rob you?" asked the woman as she hurried away.

"No, but guess what I saw?"

"The boat was full of people, all with knives, and there was blood on them. The fierce and vicious look is more bluffing than his mother's water thief," the fisherman replied without waiting for a reply.

"Ahh

The woman was frightened and stumbled and almost fell.

"Then let's report to the police quickly..."

"It's useless to report to the official! In the past, water thieves came to rob people, and when did the dog soldiers come..."

"It's not good, you're still being found by water thieves like the golden egg and his father, who are you going to reason with when the time comes?"

The woman took the fisherman's withered hand, and her steps were a little haste:

"Then we have to go back and tell the third child and them, don't let them go to sea. ”

"yes, don't go out. When I came back, I heard that the sea said that many ships had sunk upstream..."

"Hey... In this world, you don't raise people..."

“......”

Just when the two fishermen were chattering and walking away...

A small merchant ship, flowing through the river behind them...

The boat is extremely fast...

Like a big arrow shooting over the water, stirring up a long northbound wave.

The wind on the ship was very strong, blowing hundreds of thousands of green silks from Xiahou...

He stood at the bow of the ship, looking out into the wind at the largest passenger ship. The blood that came out of the wind from time to time made his tense muscles more and more abrupt...

"Senior brother, shall we land first?"

As more and more passenger ships appeared in sight, the smell of blood in the wind became more and more intense. Several seven-star disciples sitting in the cabin couldn't help but panic.

After all, they have too few people, but there are a few enemies...

"No"

The cold word was like ice water pouring down, wetting the spark in everyone's hearts...

The ship is still moving forward...

The eagle under the firmament, silently departed from one, spreading its wings to the west...

At this point,

A hundred miles away from this eagle, there is a small island where flames are burning one after another...

This small island is very famous, called Jiuwu.

It is the largest nest of water thieves on the Canshui River. At the same time, it is also the strongest water village in the southern region of Dongtu, a branch of the eighteen consecutive rings.

In the past few decades, they have ravaged rivers and rivers, burning, killing, looting and doing bad things, but no one dares to take care of them. Every time an island enters the river, it will inevitably be a blood-stained piece of water, and it will return.

And today, they seem to be ready to leave the island again...

On the edge of the Jiuwu wharf, one hundred and ten warships were moored, and thousands of bandits were wearing leather armor and hip scimitars, standing in neat columns.

Thousands of bows and crossbows were wound, thousands of pruning were ignited...

From a distance, there was a sparkle of glitter and a little firelight. An iron-blooded heroic posture is just like a heroic army that is about to go to battle.

"Whew..."

A long howl came from the Nine Heavens, and an eagle rushed down.

"Whew..."

At the forefront of the bandits, a one-eyed bandit with hideous features and a scarred face, learned to scream from the eagle monster and raised his strong right arm...

"Bang Bang..."

The eagle flapped its wings and landed firmly on the one-eyed bandit's arm.

"Jiu Shao, the guest is going to cross the river..."

The bandit closed his only remaining eye, as if feeling something, and said with his face turned sideways to the right.

"Hmm..."

Standing next to the bandit was a scholar of Sven, dressed in blue and white brocade clothes, with long hair tied into a ponytail and hanging down, holding a sword and iron ruler.

His name is Jiu Shao, a name that makes the water go up and down, and thousands of fishermen, merchants, and gentry are terrified.

"How many ...... river sharks have"

The bandit still has his eyes closed:

"Forty within ten miles, more than three hundred within a hundred miles, the number of people is unknown..."

The iron ruler turned lightly between Jiu Shao's fingers: "Such a fierce method..."

"Hehe, it's rare..."

“......”

"Do it?" the bandit asked.

Jiu Shao squirmed his lips: "Revisit"

Only then did the bandit open his eyes and flick his arms...

"Whew..."

The eagle flutters its wings and soars into the sky!

On the Canshui River, in front of the small merchant boat.

The scenery on both sides of the strait has not changed much, and it is still a city pavilion and an ordinary house.

It's just that in the waters in front of Xiahou, there are no more people's boats. Only one hundred and ten passenger sails rose and fell, gradually approaching. At the junction of Tianshui and Tianshui, the shadows of the ships that are entering one after another are still increasing...

Looking down from the sky, a dense black shadow surrounded the way of merchant ships. It's like a hundred and ten river sharks that smell fish and prey on food...

Terrible......

Inside the merchant ship, the hands of dozens of Seven Star disciples were already caressing the hilt of the sword. Xiahou is still standing on the bow of the ship in that straight posture...

Looking at the big ship not far away...

The big ship is very large, more than 30 zhang long. The distance between the two sides is also very close, only a hundred zhang away, one in front of the other, and almost at the same speed downstream.

On the bow of the big ship is a pure yang flag...

Under it stood a soldier, two or five up and down, holding a silver sword in his hand, wearing a black-edged white robe.

He had been staring at Xia Hou on the other side of the merchant ship for a long time, and there was no hostility between his eyes, but more helplessness.

The blood in the wind was much stronger than before, and the other sails were closer...

"Since you have entered Yuyang, then accompany me to have two drinks, and it's not too late to go..."

In the end, it was the Taoist priest on the big ship who couldn't help it and spoke first.

Xia Hou's anger seemed to have disappeared a lot, and he had a different smile: "Okay, anyway, I haven't seen that group of little girls who are drunk today for a long time..."

He paused, and continued:

"However, you have to wait for me to send the things back to Yueyang..."

"Tsk..."

"You pig brain..."

The Taoist priest looked even more helpless: "Are you still delusional that you can bring things to Yueyang?"

While the Taoist priest spoke, he pointed in the direction behind him: "Even if I let you go." You wrecked ship, you'll have to be sunk by them before you go halfway through!"

Xiahou's smile gradually deflated: "How much has it sunk?"

"It must have all sunk!" the Taoist priest spread his hands.

"The disciples of seventy or eighty cities are blocking the main roads around Yueyang, don't be delusional..."

“......”

While the two were talking, the hundred and ten sails were already surrounded. The ships were stationed half a mile apart from each other to wait and see.

The blood in the wind completely overwhelmed the fishy water of the river...

"Click..."

Xiahou's fists creaked: "How many are dead?"

"Well, you can rest assured. ”

The Taoist priest glanced at the north: "The bird brought the word "burn", so everyone is very interested, and sinking the ship will be over." There should be no dead people. ”

The Taoist priest showed a hint of apology and added in embarrassment:

"Of course, face is face, and some blood is inevitable. ”

"Bastard!"

Xiahou, squeezed out three words from between his teeth.

"Stop scolding, it's useless for you to scold. Pure Yang Commander Order, apart from you Seven Stars, who dares to disrespect?"

The Taoist priest waved his hand: "Hurry up to my boat, let's go to Yuyang to get drunk and rest, what do you care about his mess..."

“......”

The merchant ships slowed down,

The waves stirred up by the stern of the boat gradually weakened...

Because, the passenger sails that are surrounded by them are slowing down...

Xia Hou didn't answer immediately, his jaw was shaking and his fists were shaking.

The seven-star disciples in the cabin had all stood on the ship's board.

"Medicine, it's used to save my relatives, can you make a way..."Xiahou Qiang gritted his teeth and read word by word.

"This..."

“......

The Taoist priest's face became a little weird.

He has known Xiahou for many years, and he can be regarded as half a playmate. But once upon a time, he saw the ruffian and reckless Xiahou, and said such words begging for mercy?

“......”

The Taoist priest didn't reply, and gradually walked out of the surrounding passenger sailboats...

For a moment, the atmosphere here became a little eerie, dull and tense.

meanwhile

In Yueyang City, in Yueyang Building.

"Report! Ask Tianchengdong's team, Yu Xiangyang was attacked. All the medicine is destroyed, everyone is injured!"

"Report! The Seven Star Moxian Squad was attacked in Luoyang. Thirty enemies and one thousand and eight are still fighting hard, and three hundred have been wounded. ”

"Report! The Seven Star Hong Taibao squad was attacked on Yuyang Mountain Road. All the medicine is destroyed, everyone is injured!

"Report! Ask the Tianlin Fei team, which was attacked in the northern section of the water. The ship sank, and everyone was injured!"

"Report! The Seven Star Xiahou squad was attacked in the Yuyang section of the water. One to 100 ships, facing each other, will clash!"

"Ask the Tian Yao Yao team, meet ............ in Xianyang"

"Report ............"

The messenger of the message never stopped.

The queue waiting for the news lined up from the third floor to the stable outside the building...

"What the hell are they doing...? Aren't they just out-of-body boys, overturning Yueyang, and overturning the entire Southern Regions..."

"Parallel goods have been cut off since the morning... Don't let people do business."

"Hey... The world is in chaos..."

"Every day, these gangsters are all over the city, and the government doesn't care..."

"Just the virtue of the prince, what do you care..."

“......”

The reports are endless, and the complaints are full of complaints...

The lowest floors of Yueyang Building are almost full of merchant gentry.

Today, all the main roads outside Yueyang City are blocked and forbidden by thousands of strong people. Ordinary businessmen and ordinary people were all blocked from the official road.

The trespasser dies, the passerby returns, and even if you give money to buy the road, people won't accept you...

The business couldn't be done, and they had no choice but to stay here and complain a few words.

Upstairs, the largest wing.

There is also a lot of resentment here today, and there is even a hint of anger......

There were only five people in the room, and two said they were "doing things".

The master stood in front of the balcony railing, his face full of sadness.

"The old game is over, and the new game begins. I used a thunderous method like Chidori at the beginning..."

"This crazy woman, if she really inherits the domineering and ruthlessness of God's lineage..."

The scholar at the round table placed a fan while flipping through the letters on the table: "If the ghost plot really didn't leave some backhand." I'm afraid this thing won't go through..."

A pale-faced old woman with a smoking gun. Sitting leisurely by the brazier, closing your eyes and resting your mind:

"His people in the East died twenty years ago. Even if there are still some remnants, do you think they will survive that dim night of the Emperor?"

"In this way, the means of the ghost plot seems to be the hidden sword behind Qixing..."The scholar put away the fan, his eyes rolled, and continued: "There is also the Ming sword in the Pure Yang Palace..."

The master walked back to the main room from the balcony, shook his head and said, "The one in the palace is no longer reliable..."

"Hey..."

"It's not early..."

The thin man sitting in the corner slowly got up. He smoothed the wrinkled corner of his seat with his hand, and walked out the door:

"Now that Kim has placed a bet, we have to do something. If you hesitate any longer, you will really die. When the time comes, we will still suffer..."

"Hey"

“......”

Several people sitting in the room stood up one after another and left...

"The business is already losing money. ”

The scholar and the master walked out of the wing room with their front and back feet.

"Lao Jin's strategy is not comparable to us, let's go..."

"Ahh

The child gently closed the door...

At this moment, the building was empty, and only the brazier that was still burning was left, making a "crackling" sound from time to time.

Quiet...

A gust of wind blew, disturbing the fire and dancing lightly.

The wind blew away the piles of stationery on the round table...

Revealing a touch of gold,

It's four gilded small letters...

"Kyoto has changed"
