Chapter 246: Rescue at the Bow of the Ship
Things are divided into three urgency, when you know what is possible and what is possible. If the fastest update is like duckweed, gathering and dispersing love does not transfer with people's will. No one can be light on the bitter lovesickness, no one can refuse a gentle desire to see, whether to find a tender Yiren, or to silently go to the road of chivalrous responsibility, in the rivers and lakes, it is a dilemma.
Li Xuan looked up at the moonlight, let out a long sigh, and an inexplicable helplessness hit his heart. For some reason, he felt that in terms of his character, he should not be in the rivers and lakes. If you want to make a difference in the rivers and lakes, in addition to having a firm character and ruthless means, you also need a heart that has been tempered into steel. However, not only did he fail to strengthen the Heavenly God Gang entrusted by Shen Wuxing's predecessors, but also failed to maintain the twelve consecutive money houses delivered by his adoptive father An Ruohai.
Could it be that God is making people?
He thought about it, returned to the stone house, asked Ye Feng to light the candles, and said calmly: "Chang'an is not going, I plan to take a look elsewhere." ”
The Ye brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and seeing that Li Xuan's mood was obviously very heavy, they couldn't help but ask, "Shaoxia, what do you have on your mind, can you tell us about it." Hey, although we are not good at martial arts, we may be able to do our best. ”
Li Xuan smiled slightly, knowing that he would face great danger if he went to the Hidden Sword Villa, so he shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "No need." It's too dangerous there, I'm not sure I'll be able to protect myself when I go, so you don't have to muddy the waters. ”
The Ye brothers and sisters and the three ghosts of the Yellow River said in unison: "Shaoxia and we have the grace of regenerating parents, you are in trouble now, if we really stand idly by, will we still be human!" Li Xuan sighed after being silent for a while: "Okay." Since you have this heart, then send me to Weishui. Huang Yu shook his head and said, "Do you mean that we can only send you across the Weishui River?"
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Sending you for thousands of miles must be goodbye in the end." The stakes are high in the places I go, and there are many secrets that are not for you to know. Well, do you need me to explain some more words?" Hearing this, the Ye brothers and sisters and the three ghosts of the Yellow River knew that Li Xuan was bringing up the so-called 'secret' topic to prevent them from going, but they couldn't find a reason to refute it, so they all looked at each other and nodded helplessly, but in their hearts, they secretly decided to follow Li Xuan to repay him for his selfless rescue.
Ye Dian had already packed his luggage while a few people were talking. At this time, the sky is slightly bright, and it is the best time to set off.
Li Xuan originally thought that since he could hear the sound of splashing waves in the stone house, he must not be far from the Weishui River, but he and everyone went all the way to find that in fact, the sound of splashing waves was just a not very wide channel connecting the Luo River to the Weishui River. When the Ye brothers and sisters arrived at the fairway, it was already dawn. Ye Feng whistled, and four or five helpers appeared, and in a moment, he found a wooden boat that could seat more than 20 people. Everyone got on the boat, and saw the willows on both sides of the river curling gracefully, the water waves in Hanoi were clear and unexciting, and the smoked south wind came, sending a faint fragrance of flowers. The fragrance of flowers followed the boat, the bow of the Shuangyan boat hovered, Ye Feng personally took the helm, the boat was very fast, but it was only half a day, and the wooden boat was about to sail into the Weishui River.
The excavation of the canal was a great cause and one of the reasons for the fall of the Sui Dynasty.
At the beginning of Yang Guang's ascension to the throne, he was ambitious and vowed to establish an immortal cause. After several surveys, the first million people excavated the Tongji Canal connecting the Huai River and the Yellow River, and recruited 100,000 people in Huainan to dig the Yangtze River and the Huai River. In the fourth and sixth years of the Great Cause, they began to dig the Yongji Canal and lead the river into Hangzhou. Although this series of canal excavation projects is to solve the problem of water transportation and form the most powerful transportation network after connecting the north and south, it also leads to boiling public resentment.
The Grand Canal communicates the five major water systems, which is related to Yang Guang's ambition to connect the south and north of the Yangtze River and connect the Sui Dynasty into a large whole. Although the Weishui River was not in a prominent position in the Sui Dynasty's excavation of canals, it was also excellently dredged.
The Weishui River basin is very wide, tactful for thousands of miles, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent, but because of the many tributaries along the way, coupled with the passage through the loess plain area, the river cement and sand content is huge, often silted. In spite of this, after several years of vigorous dredging, the Weishui River has been as wide as 100 zhang, and the river bank is full of weeping willows, the river water is no longer muddy and turbid, and can drive huge cargo ships, and even dragon boats dozens of zhang high can also be driven, which shows that the large scale of dredging and the weight of labor and people are by no means words can express.
The wooden boat slowly sailed into the Weishui River in the waves of the channel. Li Xuan stood on the bow of the boat, looking blankly at the scenery on both sides of the river. The scenery changes with the waves, the heaven and earth, the river, and the sand gulls are staggered and overlapped with each other, and his heart also fluctuates with the waves of the boat.
Since Li Xuan left the Medicine King Valley, he was bent on going to Chang'an to find Tang Bing, but he didn't expect to go the wrong way by mistake, and when he met Zhu Jian and Yan Wuving, he knew that the matter of the Hidden Sword Villa was critical, so he had to give up his original plan. Although the spring breeze was soothing and intoxicating at this time, he felt bitter in his mouth, and his heart was tight.
The boat continued to move forward, Ye Feng saw that Li Xuan was silent, and said loudly: "Li Shaoxia, let's enter the Weishui River immediately, after passing this wide river to the other bank, and then going forward is the boundary of Guanchi......" Li Xuan nodded and said: "Got it." Ye Yu and Ye Lei knew that although this section of the river was wide, the flow speed was extremely fast because the water potential of the river was high in the west and low in the east. The two got up and stood beside Li Xuan to prevent the wooden boat from jolting and shaking Li Xuan. Li Xuan smiled and said: "It's not in the way, although I am not high in water, but I am still okay in the face of this wind and waves." Just as he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and fighting from the upper reaches of the Weishui River. The sound comes with the wind and waves, high and low, which makes people unpredictable.
Ye Feng is very sensitive, and holds the rudder steadily, preventing the wooden boat from entering the Weishui River from the channel, and will not be unstable by the rapid river water. At the moment when the wooden boat Li Xuan was riding had just entered the Weishui River, two small wooden boats in the upper reaches had already come quickly. Seeing this, Ye Feng exclaimed: "Where did the two boats come from? If you drive so dangerously regardless of the waves, you will definitely capsize...... As he spoke, the two boats were already more than ten feet close. Seeing this, the yellow croaker and yellow grass among the three ghosts of the Yellow River picked up the penny one after another, ready to prop out the two boats that flew in, but at this moment, Li Xuan exclaimed: "Stop the boat...... Pander to...... Ah Ying ...... on the boat, "The Ye brothers and sisters and the three ghosts of the Yellow River didn't know that there was such a person as Ah Ying, but when they heard Li Xuan's tone, they were surprised and happy, and they didn't think about it, and shouted in unison: "But listen to the young man's orders." ”
Huang Yu shouted: "Ye Lao Er, I hold the boat in front, you lock it with a rope ......" Before he finished speaking, the wooden boat in front of him had already arrived. Seeing that the incoming ship was about to crash into the wooden boat helmed by Ye Feng, Huang Yu shouted, and the long penny in his hand was a little on his hull, and there was a muffled sound of 'flickering', and the two boats that were about to collide together were immediately staggered by half of the boat under his skillful push. At the same time, the rope with the thickness of his arm in Ye Yu's hand had already been shot quickly.
The ability to instantly lasso the bow of a ship and tie a cable to a stake, just like a Mongolian knight using a leash pole to lasso the leading horse, must be quick with eyes and hands, and the arm and waist strength need to be quite accurate. Everyone only listened to the sound of 'brushing', and the rope was impartially attached to the stake of the incoming ship's cable. Ye Yu shouted, stretched out his arms, and put it away with the strength of the incoming ship, and gently pulled it between the stars, and the bow of the incoming ship suddenly deflected half a foot. It was a half-foot gap that the incoming boat and everyone sat down and got off the boat side by side. The three ghosts of the Yellow River are good at underwater kung fu, but they are not good at water skills, and the right talent is already a yellow croaker to take out the housekeeping skills, at this time, he saw that Ye Yu's kung fu was so good, and he admired it.
And at this moment, Li Xuan had already jumped up, and he was in the air, and shouted violently: "Wu Na Zhu old thief, don't stop yet." ”
There are two ships in total. There were three women and two men on the boat that Shicai almost crashed into each other. Li Xuan saw that one of the men had a long beard and an elegant appearance, and it was Zhu Lian, the head of the three top masters. And the man and two women who are with Zhu Jian are not outsiders, they are Ah Ying, Yao Zikong, and Zhu Yezi, who have been separated from Li Xuan for a few months. And huddled behind them was a richly dressed woman, who, though she looked older, was extremely beautiful. Why did Zhu Jian fight with them? Who was that beautiful woman? Li Xuan didn't have time to think about it, and saw that the second boat that was chasing after him seemed to be stuck in a whirlpool, circling around the river, and even though he had excellent eyesight, he couldn't even tell who was on board or how many people there were for a while.
Despite the swells and whirlpools in this water, Zhu Jian stood firmly at the bow of the boat, as if he had a bamboo in his chest. He carried his left hand on his back, and only made a move with his right hand, but he forced Ah Ying, Yao Zikong, and Zhu Yezi to retreat step by step. Yao Zikong seemed to be at the helm, and was forced to join the team battle, and only then did he get out of control when he sat on the wooden boat, if it wasn't for Huang Yu and Ye Yu's timely action to stop the wooden boat and stabilize it, maybe it would have overturned in the river.
Li Xuan shouted, and Zhu Xuan was shocked.
Zhu Jian never dreamed that Li Xuan would appear in the sky. He saw Li Xuanren in the air, and the Divine Dance Blade turned into a dazzling white rainbow and stabbed him, allowing him to be experienced in a hundred battles and resourceful, and it was inevitable that he would be a little flustered. He forced Ah Ying, Yao Zikong, and Zhu Yezi to retreat with two palms, and the left and right hands had to be used at the same time, facing Li Xuan's sword momentum, spinning and rubbing, trying to force Li Xuan to withdraw the move. But he didn't know that Li Xuan saw that Ah Ying and the three of them were forced, and jumped up in the air, and he already had the determination to die if he couldn't win, so this move was not only magnanimous, but also murderous. Everyone only heard a 'boom', and the whole surface of the river was darkened, and the surface of the river that was surging suddenly rose five or six feet high. The waves splashed in all directions, shaking like a mountain, falling like rain, and the three boats up and down shook violently.
No one could see from which angle Li Xuan's sword was shot, only that he was in the air, as if he had become one with the long sword.
This sword seems to be thoughtless and selfless, but it has affection and love, it looks simple, but in fact, there are thousands of changes that are fascinating. This sword seems to come from the world, with flesh and blood, swallowing and flickering, but in fact, it is as cold as the thousand-year-old ice and snow of Gaochuan, and it is cold and clear. Everyone was stunned, and they were drenched by the huge waves like falling rain, and they stayed on the boat, as if they had forgotten the life-and-death duel of the right talents, and even more forgot that the ship was in danger of capsizing under the waves. Although Zhu Jian hastily took the sword that Li Xuan volleyed in the air, with his outstanding martial arts, he could at least protect himself, but this time it was beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that he would chase Li Xuan all the way and inadvertently let him completely integrate the martial arts he had learned. If he knew that because he underestimated the consequences of Li Xuan's stabbing of a sword, he would not have dissolved this sword with his bare hands. However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and there is no way to turn back time and let people start over. Therefore, Li Xuan stabbed out this sword like electricity, and Zhu Jian felt a pain to the bone.
This sword is already a sword that Li Xuan has been tempered thousands of times in his heart.
Everyone heard Zhu Lian's scream, and saw his right arm flying up with the waves, falling with the water, and the red blood splattered in all directions, falling all over the deck of the wooden ship, and floating into the water. Zhu Jian endured the pain, made a false move, and struck Li Xuan's waist with all his might, and at the same time his body flew out upside down, and 'poof' fell into the water, swirling a few times in the semi-clear river, and disappeared.
Li Xuan succeeded with a sword, and he was also very surprised. He was slightly stunned, and then came to his senses, and said in a loud voice: "Sister Aying, Brother Yao, Zhu Yezi, are you okay?" Perhaps his mood was a little agitated, and he turned back to Ye Feng and the others before he finished speaking: "Master Ye, quickly dock these two boats to the shore at the same time...... But before he finished speaking, Ah Ying screamed: "Be careful...... Be careful...... Brother Xuan, the ship above has crashed over!"
Ye Feng and the others were completely shocked by Li Xuan's sword, and before they came back to their senses, they heard Li Xuan summon themselves, agreed, and were about to ferrying the two boats to the shore, and when they heard Ah Ying's surprise, they turned their heads to look, and saw that the boat that was trapped in the vortex upstream was indeed thrown out. The power of nature is endless, and the force of this throw is amazing, not only Li Xuan and the others did not expect it, but even the people on the ship were terrified, and screamed in unison.
Seeing this, Huang Yu glanced at Ye Yu and Ye Lei, and shouted in unison: "guys, swing this boat away!" Huang Cao and Huang Crab heard this, and jumped into the undercurrent surging river with a 'whoosh', and at this time, Huang Yu had already carried Ye Lei to and from the boat with a long penny, and Ye Yu had also used a rope as thick as a child's arm in his hand, and went back and forth to the boat.
However, the speed of the ship was too fast, and before Ye Yu and a few people could make a move, it had already hit the boat helmed by Ye Feng with a 'boom'.
The two ships collided, and although the hull was unharmed, the raised bow of the ship brought up high waves, like a spring of waves gushing from a giant whale. They saw two boats struck across the river, and were driven by the whirlpool, swaying from side to side, leaping sideways on the turbulent river. What's the matter, is there a thousand pounds of force at the bottom of the water that arches upwards? The two boats were entangled, making a loud gurgling sound, and it felt like it was going to be torn to pieces, which made people shudder. Li Xuan, Ah Ying, and Yao Zikong were all a little panicked when they saw the two boats facing each other's bows, and the danger was all in the middle of breathing. At this critical moment, Li Xuan shouted, jumped up in the air, raised his arms, and used a strong emptiness to wash the marrow, and slapped the bows of the two ships. There was a loud 'boom', and the two ships were pushed and pressed by him, and they withdrew a few feet in the air and landed steadily on the water.
Li Xuan tried his best to relieve the danger of being entangled by the two ships, did not dare to stay in the air, his body volleyed, and with the counter-force of the palm clapp, he returned to the ship where Ah Ying was safely. The change of this lightning and stone fire shocked everyone into a cold sweat, Rao is Ye Feng and a few people are proficient in water, well-informed, and they are also scared to the point that their faces are sallow. At this moment, I heard someone on the boat say, "Yellow Fish, what are you doing with the yellow crab and the yellow grass, why are you helping others to deal with me?"
Huang Yu was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look, and saw that the person who spoke was actually Jin Wushuang, the former owner of the Yellow River Island, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Lord Jin Island, you are still alive, you ...... Why are you here?" Jin Wushuang sneered, "Of course I'm alive, do you want me to die?" said as he spoke, and he had already jumped onto the boat helmed by Ye Feng. At the moment when the two were talking, the three wooden boats had already galloped out of two or three miles. At this time, the current is gradually slowing down, and there are many fewer eddies on the river surface.
On the three ships, except for Ye Feng and the others, who are proficient in water and good at controlling wooden boats, the other wooden boat also seems to be good at manipulating ships. And on Li Xuan's ship, although Yao Zikong has a decent helm, whether it is experience or control strength, it is far from the two ships, and the two boats in front of him are walking first, so Li Xuan's wooden boat can't catch up no matter what.
Li Xuan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the two ships more than fifty zhang away from him, and he could clearly see that there were Zhuge Dongfang and a blue-faced man with Jin Wushuang. How did they get here, could it be that they were chasing Ah Ying? He was worried that Jin Wushuang would blame the three of them for helping him and suffer an accident, and his heart couldn't help but become restless. Seeing that Li Xuan was looking at the two ships in front of her, Ah Ying understood what she meant, and did not say anything, and held the helm with Yao Zikong steadily, while Zhu Yezi supported Mrs. Mei and observed the situation of the two ships in front. Seeing that the boat had stabilized, Jin Wushuang suddenly picked up the penny thrown by Ye Yu with his toes, turned his right palm into a knife, cracked it into two knots, copied it in his left and right hands, and threw it into the water.
Everyone didn't know what he meant, but Huang Yu's face changed greatly, and he said loudly: "Lord Jindao...... You have mercy on your men!" Before he finished speaking, he only heard two 'snorts', and the two long pennies quickly entered the water, and blood came up in an instant. (To be continued.) )
