In 1067, Northern Song Dynasty, Dengzhou, Heishui

☆☆☆

The broad body is extraordinarily large in a relatively small cabin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lei Yigong knocked on a door in the back cabin, and the door was greeted by a handsome man, his pale face seemed to be coated with a layer of white powder in the dim light: "Come on...... Finish. The voice was weak and low, seemingly staccato.

"Ho, you haven't sung yet, and you're dressed up?"

Listening to his jokes, the man's face turned a little pale, he grabbed the doorknob with one hand, hurriedly covered his mouth with the other, retched twice, and almost threw up again.

Shaking his head, Lei Yigong stepped in. At a glance, there were seven or eight people sitting or lying in the room, all with pale faces. On the chair in the middle sat Feng Erniang, frowning and looking at the seasick and dizzy subordinates.

Lei Yigong is the best in the beggar gang, and in the past when dealing with the raft gang, Hong Qili sent him forward, Lei Yigong has seen the raft gang people supporting the raft in the Yellow River that turns back to the ring, so he is naturally more suitable for sailing in the sea.

When Lei Yigong walked to her, Feng Erniang spoke first: "I don't know how to be watery, and I can't vomit anymore." ”

He didn't expect Feng Erniang's people to be so unable to withstand the wind and waves, and comforted: "You can relax, fortunately, there are still brothers from Beihai Hall and Descending Dragon Hall." ”

They were on standby in the various cabins below deck.

With Feng Erniang's temper, if it weren't for the seasickness of his subordinates, he would have been shouting to do it at this time. She looked at Lei Yigong and said in her heart: Lao Lei and I are both in a hurry, why don't you see him in a hurry?

This time, Sha Lianyuan sat in Dengzhou to take charge of the response, and Hua Ziluan led the ship-seizing operation. As soon as he boarded the ship, Hua Ziluan ordered not to do it first, wait for him to go to the deck to spy on the truth first, and then wait for the opportunity to take the ship in one fell swoop.

Lei Yigong and Hua Ziluan have been together for the longest time, and the two have the most tacit understanding. Hua Ziluan has always been cautious, but somehow, even his own big boss noticed something, he sighed, and said, "I always feel that this boat is strange inside and out. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Many of the officers and men on this ship are well-known!"

"I heard Sha Lao say that it is not unusual for a sailor to be equipped with a special martial arts head and know martial arts?"

Lei Yigong smacked his lips and said, "Maybe I'm suspicious?"

Feng Erniang chuckled and said, "I didn't expect this to come out of your mouth." ”

Lei Yigong smiled dryly and tugged at the corners of his mouth in response.

Suddenly, a hoarse, low whistle crossed the deck, followed by a slow, steady drum beat that even they could hear clearly in the cabin.

There was a violent shaking, almost throwing Feng Erniang up from the chair, and she hurriedly used the "jack pendant" to stabilize her figure. Lei Yigong was also angry, and stood firmly on his feet.

Woo-woo-woo-woo

With the sound of a ghost's wail, another jolt struck.

Feng Erniang's subordinates had made up their minds not to show their fear in front of the elders of the gang when Lei Yigong entered the door, but now they had already left it behind and forgot about it. After all, these men are all picking hard hands in the rudder, and they have also experienced a lot of ups and downs in the rivers and lakes, and they are all masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth. But none of them had the experience of sailing out to sea, and all the landlubbers were driven into the water, and they were all immediately coaxed, their feet were as soft as mud and sand, and their chests were turned over and over, and even their brains were not good, and they were desperately grasping everything around them one by one.

It wasn't until the hull of the ship changed from swaying violently to shaking slightly that everyone let out a long breath.

But that feeling of uneasiness did not disappear, Lei Yigong frowned, thinking: I always feel that something is wrong.

He turned his head to Feng Erniang and whispered, "What about my guy?"

Didn't you say that you can't act recklessly, why do you suddenly want to do it again? Feng Erniang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Keep it in my head box." ”

"Get it quickly!"

Feng Erniang glanced at the two subordinates, and they immediately moved the two large boxes out.

She took out the key from her belt, opened the lock on the box, and pulled out Lei Yigong's broadsword from under a few costumes, and handed it over.

Lei Yigong pulled the sword out of its scabbard, pointed it down, and erected it straight on the thick cocoon of his index finger, leaving it motionless.

Feng Erniang and the surrounding beggar gang disciples didn't know what Elder Lei meant, they looked at each other suspiciously, and saw that his expression was serious, and they didn't dare to speak for a while.

At this time, it shook slightly, and the broadsword on his fingers suddenly lost its balance and fell, Lei Yigong copied it in his hand without waiting for it to land, only to hear the sound of "swish", and the broadsword had been quickly inserted into the scabbard by him.

"Old Lei, I think you are weird inside and out today. Feng Erniang said.

"This is the way to find direction on the water taught by the scoop of the raft gang. He replied, "Something is really wrong, the ship has changed course, and we are not going north, but east!"

Feng Erniang heard him say this, only then did she understand, and her heart couldn't help but be excited, she rolled up her sleeves, picked up her weapon, and said to her subordinates: "What are you still stunned, copy guy!"

☆☆☆

After setting off from the port, the people of the beggar gang have been stuffed in the cabin, they can't wait for a long time, eager to fight, but Hua Ziluan has a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

As he pretended to walk on the deck, he swept his eyes over the soldiers standing on the ship, and he made a mental note of each post. The sides of the ship were covered with crossbow machines, and there were trebuchets in the bow and stern.

The sailors and soldiers on the deck were all proficient in water, and as the waves hit the hull, their bodies naturally rose and fell, like nails buried under their feet, and they were as stable as Mount Tai on the deck. But to Hua Ziluan's surprise, some of the sailors had their temples bulging high and their eyes were shining, and they were obviously masters of foreign kung fu.

The Blackwater followed the waves, passing through a gentle current, the wind began to change, and the sail on board was blown and rattled.

Woo-woo-woo-woo

The head ship in front sounded the battle horn, which was the signal of the sailors.

Hua Ziluan suddenly saw the two ships next to him approaching, separated on both sides of the Blackwater, and the distance between the ships was kept five or six feet away. The sailors and soldiers on the ship were all on standby, and although he did not understand what the battle horn meant, he could also judge from the changed atmosphere that he was about to enter the rapids.

The first ship leads the way, the middle two, and the last three. The three rows of ships moved at the same speed and advanced in a formation of battle arrows.

Seeing that the fleet was moving in an orderly manner, Hua Ziluan always felt that he had smelled a hint of danger: the sailor was obviously well-trained, and he was not as unbearable as Sha Lao said. Now that the ship is so close to the ship, the slightest movement of the Blackwater will allow the other ships to respond from the side, how can the human body resist the ballista stone? It may not be as easy as imagined, the timing is the most important thing, but fortunately he postponed the operation.

In this sea area, the current is fast and strong, the wind blows big waves, and it also brings layers of whirlpools.

The hull of the ship was dusted up, and Hua Ziluan felt unstable under his feet, so he hurriedly held on to the railing next to him. He thought to himself: this rapids are full of dangers, no wonder the boatmen are reluctant to go to sea.

"Collect the sails, lower the mast!" Someone on the boat next to him shouted: "Oarsmen are on standby!"

Hua Ziluan looked at the boats on both sides, the deck was busy, and he looked at the Blackwater he was on, but no one gave an order.

Woo-woo-woo-woo

The battle horn sounded again, and then I heard the boat next to me: "Oar!" As soon as the words fell, the oarsman rumbled and beat the drum, the sound of the beating was slow and powerful, and the oars moved in unison, and the swordfish boat moved faster than the wind.

The Blackwater remained silent, and its speed was clearly starting to slow down.

The boat next to it was noisy, shouting, horns and drums, and the sound of oars rising and falling into the water.

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

The sailors knew that the sound of the battle horn one after another meant that there was a strong wind and waves.

Sure enough, a huge wave broke off on the sea, and the three ships were swept away at once.

A loud shout was suddenly heard on the Blackwater: "Collect the sails!"

Hua Ziluan looked at the bow of the ship and stared at a figure, this person was the officer of the Blackwater, he was calm, and he didn't feel that he was half a beat slower in giving orders, there was anything wrong.

"Descend the mast!" the fierce sea breeze ruffled the officer's cloak, who was dressed in red rattan armor, leather trousers, and a round helmet under his arm. The iron helmet and heavy armor are a life-threatening talisman on the sea, and there are two large fish floats sewn on both sides of his rattan armor, which can be blown in, and once they fall into the water, they can float on the surface of the water.

The sailors immediately got busy, and the rest of the soldiers remained motionless and stuck to their posts.

Hua Ziluan couldn't help but wonder, why did he collect the sails later than the other ships? Isn't this officer afraid that the ship will be overturned by the waves?

The big wave came, and the lowering of the mast of the Blackwater was not yet completed, and although the hull was not out of balance, it was also blown around, like a weightless floating leaf, swaying and moving with the ocean, and the bow of the ship completely deviated from its course and turned in another direction.

The two boats next to them were not too affected because they were well prepared, and they broke through the barrier of the big waves and caught up with the ship in front.

The flotilla ahead heard the loud sound of battle horns again.

The five ships quickly regained their formation after a little reorganization.

And the Blackwater slowly swallowed and dragged on to the end.

Through the surging white foam and the lapping of the waves, the command came from the foredeck of the Blackwater again: "Alight!" At this moment, the officer roared, the drum beat increased, and the speed of the oars followed.

In normal times, Hua Ziluan would doubt the ability of this ship officer, because he deviated from the direction of progress, and the oarsman had to row with all his might, and in a few moments the other boats were gone, and he secretly wondered where this person was going to take the ship?

He was about to ponder it carefully, but the officer stepped down from the bow of the ship and walked straight towards him.

"Zunjia is the head of the troupe?"

The officer of this ship is handsome and dignified, and he is only in his forties, but he speaks with a lot of authority.

"It's Xiao Ke. Hua Ziluan's voice showed some anxiety, and asked, "Why is this ship separated from the brigade?"

The captain laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, class master, we are just taking a shortcut, and we will definitely send you and others to the island safely and completely!"

At first glance, these words sounded like nothing, but when you think about it, you can see that there is something in his words.

Hua Ziluan frowned slightly, and asked, "My lord, what does this mean?"

Before he could finish speaking, the officer suddenly attacked, stepped forward, and grabbed Hua Ziluan's wrist with the five fingers of his right hand like hooks.

Hua Ziluan was startled, and with a twist of his wrist, he moved away. The opponent missed the catch, and the left hand grabbed again, and the momentum was even more ferocious.

Hua Ziluan took a step back and dodged.

The third, fourth, and fifth grabs of the ship's officer whirred out, domineering and fierce, the red rattan armor on his body seemed to turn into a ball of flame, and the round helmet was decorated with goose yellow flying phoenix ears, hunting and flying in the wind. He had never seen this way Hua Ziluan had never seen it, and he was helpless to resist for a while, but fortunately, although the deck of this swordfish ship was not wide, it was very long, and Hua Ziluan was suppressed and couldn't fight back, so he had to jump backwards and jump away.

The officer smiled: "Zun Jia is just the master of a drama troupe, how can he have such skills?"

"When you are begging for a life outside, you will inevitably meet one or two unreasonable people, who learn some boxing and kicking indiscriminately, just to make a living. Although Hua Ziluan's words were not rude, his words were aggressive, and he retreated as he spoke, and his tone was the same as usual.

With a cold snort, the officer took a series of steps, and pounced again, and Hua Ziluan had to dodge back.

The surrounding sailors should have received orders, but they just watched but did not come forward to help contain them.

Hua Ziluan was secretly anxious, obviously the sailors on the ship had already taken precautions, and they needed to inform Lao Lei quickly. But the officer in front of him is extraordinary, and if you want to get out, you must pick him up first. Thinking of this, Hua Ziluan cheered up and concentrated on dealing with the officer.

He found that the officer's skills were not much higher than his own, but he was only better at the strange moves. He fought and retreated, deliberately keeping a distance from the officer, but in fact he was checking the mystery of his tricks. When he saw the seventh move, he saw the officer's left hand rushing in front of him, and he saw every move Hua Ziluan had made clearly, this move had been used before, he remembered it very clearly, and he naturally dodged it a lot more calmly. He found that the gist of this way of grasping was fierce and ruthless, and there was not much change.

Just as Hua Ziluan was thinking about it, the other party called for two moves to attack again, and he remembered that these two moves were in a row, and they had to go up and then down first. Hua Ziluan thought to himself, how can you suppress it again, I need to give you some color. He thought about it, and suddenly turned his left palm to open the opponent's right grab, and cut his right hand horizontally, straight to the opponent's chest. I thought that the other party had to dodge if he was not blocking, but who knew that the opponent's left hand turned into a hanging, and suddenly grabbed Hua Ziluan's right wrist, which was the most proud move of the ship officer, "holding the cloud hand".

This move Hua Ziluan looks a little familiar, but he doesn't know the name. He suddenly remembered that when he used to feed the old gang leader Wang, the old gang leader had used similar moves, and he was very curious in his heart, could it be that the other party actually used a Shaolin short fight that hooked and entangled the seal? Although his right hand was hooked by the other party, he did not panic at all, because Hua Ziluan had already practiced this Shaolin short fight with the old gang leader, although the moves of this naval officer were slightly different, but everything changed from his roots, he suddenly stepped backwards, and his right hand held the opponent's wrist back, and then learned the posture of the old gang leader, and his left hand made a move "silk cannon", and punched the opponent's door.

The officer of the ship let out a light "huh", dodged his head sideways, and took a step away, and he became suspicious in his heart: Where did a man who ran the rivers and lakes learn such authentic Shaolin kung fu? I saw that the ship's officer suddenly lowered his figure and approached Hua Ziluan. The left hand "hangs" virtually, unloading Hua Ziluan's left fist blocking him, and the right hand is really "hooking", and then wrapping Hua Ziluan's right hand, followed by three moves.

"Take the cloud hand" emphasizes "there is no shadow, see the shape and deform, turn three times, and use the chain wonderfully." ”

In the Shaolin short hit, it is also necessary to use "fast hands continuously" after "leading the hand into the buckle", one hand after another, one ring after another, and one move and one style continuously, so that the enemy has no chance to breathe. Hua Ziluan naturally knew the secret, and when he saw the move, he guarded the door very tightly. The two fought for a while, he pondered each other's tricks, and faintly felt that something was wrong, this is not Shaolin's martial arts, but it must be the martial arts of the Northwest Road, how can this naval officer on the North Sea be?

At this moment, the officer of the ship was also a little impatient, he had met several strong enemies, as long as he used this cloud hand, he could defeat the enemy. In the past, you would definitely win within ten moves, but now you can't subdue the enemy outside ten moves, so you can't help but be a little impatient.

He was anxious in his heart, and his moves were seen through by Hua Ziluan, so he naturally lost the opportunity, and was forced to retreat several steps by Hua Ziluan's several moves. He shook his head, put aside the thoughts that he shouldn't have in his head, concentrated, and fought with Hua Ziluan again. At this time, I heard a great chaos on the other side of the cabin, mixed with the sound of weapons striking and fighting in battle.

The officer scolded angrily and said, "If you don't open your eyes, you actually ran to the ship of this marquis to spread wild!"
