Chapter 15: On Fire
Suddenly, a shout came from the dinghy left behind next to him: "The target is not gone, hanging on the boat." Hurry up and release the arrows. “
Zhao Dongli suddenly realized, it turned out that the brother and sister mentioned before had a plan to make the leader of the thieves think that he had escaped by jumping into the river, but in fact he was still hiding in the boat, but now he was discovered by the thieves in the dinghy. But it's not easy for a thief to carry a bow and arrow.
"Whew!"
A ringing arrow flew into the sky.
It turned out that it was not a bow and arrow, but an arrow that put a message.
It's not good, Zhao Dongli was shocked, didn't this arrow just give it to the leader of the thieves!
The passenger ship had been tied up by two dinghys, but the three were connected and still moving forward, and the leader of the thieves was left behind when he jumped into the river. The sound of the arrow was to inform him that there was a change in the ship, and that if he did not find a target under the river, the leader would react.
Sure enough, one of the dinghys unchained the big ship and headed to the back.
After discovering the target this time, the thieves who stayed behind rushed towards the back of the big ship, and Zhao Dongli smeared some blood on the corpse of the thief on the ground, and fell to the ground and died.
In fact, this ship, even more than ten sailors, plus more than 30 guests, after such a period of slaughter, there are only a few people left who are still resisting, and these people are all warriors. But after all, there are many thieves, and everyone is injured, so it is estimated that they will not last long.
The thieves finally caught the siblings, and the leader of the thieves and four of his men, who were drenched wet, got on board the ship again.
The thief who came with his brother and sister said, "Boss, we searched it, but these two people didn't have it with them." ”
With the addition of these new forces, these few people who were still resisting were immediately killed.
At this time, only Zhao Dongli, who pretended to be dead, and the brother and sister who were caught by the thieves were left on the ship.
The leader of the thieves sneered, "Where is the star meteorite, hurry up and hand it over." Otherwise, you will follow in the footsteps of your whole family and go to the underworld to meet each other. “
The brother and sister were wounded, the elder brother was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger sister was only about fifteen years old. When they heard the words of the leader of the thieves, they both raised their eyes and opened their eyes angrily, and the elder brother sighed and said, "If it falls into your hands, I have nothing to say, and I will kill you a thousand times in the next life." The younger sister said nothing, just glared at the leader of the thieves.
The leader of the thieves suddenly put away his sinister smile and said softly: "I have a lot of use for this star meteorite, if you are willing to hand it over, I will spare your two lives." ”
The elder brother and sister glanced at each other, and the elder brother laughed and said, "With your extremely vicious methods, we will die if we don't pay each other." You think I'm stupid to believe you. “
"Don't toast and don't eat, eat and drink. “
"You two are young, but you don't know that there is something more terrible in the world than death. “
The brother and sister were stimulated by hatred, and they were not in the mood to deal with the enemy who destroyed their family and exterminated the clan, so they kept their mouths shut and did not say a word.
The leader of the thieves turned to his subordinates and said, "Go and search, they can't take the star meteorite away from their side, this thing must be on the ship." ”
The thieves agreed and retreated to search.
The leader of the thieves faced them again, and he strode up to his brother, and only a few times he slapped him on him, and the brother convulsed and howled.
The leader of the thieves motioned for the thief who had captured his brother to let him go, and the brother fell to the deck, rolled around, and looked as if he was being tortured in excruciating pain.
"It's on fire!" Suddenly, the screams of thieves were heard from behind the ship.
"Damn!" the leader of the thieves cursed, if this mission failed, he would not look good when he returned.
At this time, a thief who had just rushed over hurriedly ran over and said, "Boss, it's on fire!"
The leader of the thieves scolded: "Bastard!" kicked on this thief, the thief did not dare to dodge, he took a kick and kicked two meters away, he didn't know what he had done, and he was confused.
The leader of the thieves took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Half of them are fighting fires, and half of them are looking for things." After saying that, he walked up to his brother, grabbed his convulsive body with his left hand, and slapped his right hand three times in succession, and then let go of his hand.
In such a short period of time, my brother was already weak, his whole body was covered in sweat, and his face was bruised.
The leader of the thieves said, "Lin Zhengfang, how does it taste?"
At this time, Zhao Dongli learned of his brother's life.
Lin Zhengfang raised his head weakly and said, "We threw it into the river, if you have the ability, go to the bottom of the river to find it." “
The leader of the thieves chuckled and said, "Without it, how can you take this as a gift and let the Zhao family in Liangzhou help you take revenge?" Don't think that we don't know that you still have an uncle who is the head of the Zhao family. “
Lin Zhengfang's face changed, since he couldn't deceive this enemy, he closed his mouth and didn't squeak anymore.
At this moment, the fire on the ship has gradually expanded, and the shouts of thieves can be heard everywhere on the ship.
Zhao Dongli guessed that it was estimated that the crew on the ship could not be spared, so they simply burned the jade and burned the ship.
The fire took advantage of the wind and burned more and more, and the more than ten years old ship was about to perish with its crew.
Zhao Dongli was lying on the ground, and he could already feel the heat wave gradually coming from behind him, dispelling the cold air on the river.
At this moment, he heard the slightly suppressed and excited voice of the leader of the thieves: "It's a pity that your beautiful mother killed herself, isn't there still your sister now?"
It was in such a noisy environment that Zhao Dongli also heard the tearing sound of his clothes, and at the same time, Lin Zhengfang's roar was heard.
Hearing this, Zhao Dongli couldn't bear it anymore, he slammed his hands on the ground, got up suddenly, and rushed into the deck without saying a word.
At this moment, by the light of the fire, the scene above the deck was clear at a glance.
The leader of the thieves was pushing his sister to the ground and tearing her blouse, but she didn't say a word, only stared at him with hatred. And her brother Lin Zhengfang had a painful expression on his face, but because of the torture he suffered before, he still had no ability to act, and could only watch this unbearable scene happen.
The rest of the thieves had left the deck, either to put out the fire or to search for it.
At this moment, in front of Zhao Dongli's eyes, there was only this leader of thieves who had opened the realm.
Seeing that there were still people to resist, the leader of the thieves smiled and looked at Zhao Dongli coldly.
Zhao Dongli swooped forward, the person followed the sword, and countless swords flashed in the air, he had been defeated by the martial artists of the Enlightenment Realm before, so at this moment he did not have a trace of reservations, and brought out his strongest level.
The leader of the thieves shook his body, but he dodged Zhao Dongli's knife moves in turn, and when Zhao Dongli changed his moves, his right hand probed and grabbed it, and when he reached in front of Zhao Dongli, he grabbed it as a finger and pointed at Zhao Dongli's wrist.
Zhao Dongli's fingers immediately became numb and weak, and the short knife also fell to the ground, seeing that his fierce attack did not have the slightest effect, Zhao Dongli also stopped attacking and stood beside Lin Zhengfang and his sister.
Lin Zhengfang originally saw someone come forward and was full of hope, but he was defeated in a few moves, but he still cast a grateful look.
His sister's face was full of horror, because of the torn outer garment, revealing the obscene clothes and snow-white skin inside, but because her hands were tied, she could not cover it.
The leader of the thieves sneered and said, "I can't imagine a good man who is brave and brave. ”
"However, the difference between the Kung Li Realm and the Enlightenment Realm is huge, and no matter how perfect you are, in my eyes when I opened my eyes, there are loopholes everywhere. This is the coming of death. ”
...............
Cao Zheng said goodbye to the county lord and returned to his room, which was one of the three Tianzi guest rooms specially prepared for distinguished guests on the "Tabo". The other was given to the county lord, but the last one, which was supposed to be given to the head of the guard, was rejected.
Cao Zheng, as the young leader of the Cao Gang, although it is not like the brocade clothes and jade food of the royal family, and everything in Daxia is supplied, but it is also brocade clothes and jade food, and there are substitutes for travel, and there are guards behind it.
Because the county lord went to find his eldest brother, Cao Zheng made the decision to send the "Tabo" to the county lord, so that he could also accompany the boat and be together every day, and he could smoothly enhance the relationship with the county lord.
Although he had been instructed by his father, the leader of the Cao Gang, he came to approach the only daughter of Prince Yong, "Lord Huaying".
But the innocence and cuteness of the lord of Huaying were mixed with the arrogance of a man, but it made Cao Zheng's heart really fall in, but unfortunately the lord of Huaying is now interested in the affairs of men and women, and he did not react much to his hospitality, but he did not refuse after all.
No refusal is a good thing, Cao Zheng comforted himself.
As for the one behind them before, there was a guard sent by Prince Yong to protect his daughter, called Tang Shu, who was very strong, and Prince Yong even said that the leader of the future pro-guard army was this person.
The lord of Huaying also respected Tang Chu, so Cao Zheng wanted to give him another room of the Son of Heaven, but Tang Chu said that as a subordinate, he did not have the same treatment as the lord, and he came to eat and live with his relatives, so that Cao Zheng could take care of him.
Cao Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, he won't enjoy the blessings, he is really a fool. However, he likes to make friends with talents, and he doesn't care about it.
He was about to fall asleep, but he heard a "boom" sound, Cao Zheng frowned, this voice came strangely, why did they hear it on the night they just left the Xingyang Mansion dock, could it be that someone wanted to be unfavorable to the lord of Huaying.
He put on his clothes and walked out of the guest room and onto the deck, where Tang Chu was already waiting with his men.
"Not against us. Seeing Cao Zheng coming, Tang said.
Cao Zhengqi said: "Tang Chop, how do you judge?"
Tang Shu stared ahead, and pointed with his hand: "The sound just now should be an arrow, and Gongzi Cao, please listen." ”
Cao Zheng listened intently, and there was a faint call in his ears, a cry for help, if he hadn't opened his ears, he wouldn't have heard it.
It turned out to be the sound of arrows, and if it was directed at them, it would be time for the enemy to look at them. And listening to the voice, it was coming from the front, and it seemed that someone else had been attacked.
Since it was not aimed at them, he relaxed, and said with a smile: "Tang Chop, you are not the most promising leader under Prince Yong's command. ”
Tang Shu turned his head and arched his hand: "Don't dare, I just have to do my duty and protect the county lord." ”
In just a few words, the lord of Huaying also ran over and said, "Brother Tang, is there an enemy? Why don't you call me." ”
Tang Chu lowered his head and said solemnly: "County Lord, please call me Tang Chop, the Lord is different, and the small one can't afford it." ”
Lord Huaying stomped his feet and said, "Why are you so rigid. ”
"There are people up ahead. Tang Shu didn't answer, and directly answered the previous question of the Huaying County Lord.
At this moment, a few fires flashed in front of them, and although they were getting closer and closer, the shouts were getting less and less.
Cao Zheng and Tang Chu looked at each other, and knew that the people on the boat had almost been killed, and since they saw it, they couldn't ignore it.
Tang Chop ordered: "Put out the lights on the ship, and we will lean in." ”
And his subordinates went to carry it out.
And Cao Zheng had no consciousness of being the master, and before he got on the ship, he handed over the power of the "Tabo" to Tang Shu, of course, he had to do what he said.
In the darkness, the "Tampoo" was like a huge monster, with only a huge shadow, moving forward on the water, moving forward, about to devour something.
