After Zhang Er and the others were busy for a while, they all sat on the deck to rest, looking at the dead and wounded companions, they were all very sad, and they kept wiping their tearful eyes.

Zhang Er saw that Dongfang Zhen, who was leaning against the side of the boat with his eyes closed, still had an arrow stuck in his left rib, suddenly saved it, hurriedly ran to his side, grabbed the shaft of the arrow and was about to pull it out.

"I can't pull it out!" Dongfang Zhen, who was pale, suddenly opened his eyes, "I'll come by myself." ”

He took a breath, pressed the index and middle fingers of his right hand tightly on both sides of the wound, gritted his teeth with his left hand, and the blood burst out, pulling out the bloody arrow and throwing it on the deck. Then he waved his fingers like the wind, sealed several acupoints around the wound, then tore off a strip of cloth on the trouser tube to wrap the wound, swallowed two more "immortal pills", breathed a sigh of relief, and closed his eyes and rested on the side of the boat.

Zhang Er took off his short clothes and gently covered him, Dongfang Zhen opened his eyes slightly, smiled and thanked him.

After an appointment, Dongfang Zhen slowly opened his eyes, and his face was already a little bloody.

"Go, pick up that arrow and kill that Sun Er!" Dongfang looked at Zhang Er beside him and pointed to the arrow he had just pulled out.

"Don't ...... Don't kill me! don't kill me......" Sun Er's face turned pale with fright, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.

Zhang Er hesitated to pick up the arrow and timidly walked in front of Sun Er.

"Brother Zhang, don't be afraid, just stab hard according to your heart!" Dongfang Zhen encouraged Zhang Er.

Zhang Er aimed the tip of the arrow at Sun Er's chest, not daring to look at his eyes, and trembling hands did not dare to stab down.

"Zhang Er, you ...... You dare!" Sun Er was shocked and frightened, staring at Zhang Er with blood-red eyes. Zhang Er was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hand.

Seeing that Sun Er was frightened, he calmed down, and said gently: "Brother Zhang, don't listen to him...... As long as you let me go today, I will repay you heavily, brother!"

"Hmph, repay?" Dongfang Zhen glared at Sun Er and sneered: "I think, it's like today!"

"Hero, the villains have surrendered, you can't kill me!" Sun Er was so anxious that his eyes rolled: "Killing people who have no resistance is not considered a hero...... This...... This will be laughed at by the people of the rivers and lakes!"

"Hmph! If it weren't for me today, these poor fellows would have become ghosts under your sword! You traitorous people who seek money and kill people, how dare you tell me what kind of morality do you have! If I don't kill you, what is the reason of heaven?" Dongfang Zhen's eyes widened in anger and he shouted loudly.

"You...... You have killed so many of my brothers, and you still refuse to let me go!" Sun Er was anxious and afraid, knowing that it would be difficult to survive today, so he simply scolded: "You shit! You murderer! You can't die a good death if you kill a thousand knives...... If you dare to come and kill me, the big boss will definitely avenge me and break your dogs to pieces!"

"I'm coming!" a fellow rushed over angrily, snatched the arrow from Zhang Er's hand with one hand, and plunged it into Sun Er's chest with a "poof". Sun Er let out a long, heart-rending scream, his face swollen to the color of pig liver, blood spilled wildly from his mouth, and he fell limply on the deck.

The sailors of the bandits screamed miserably, hurriedly glanced back, turned pale with fright, hurriedly turned their heads, and rowed the boat with trepidation, how dare there be a trace of abnormal movement?

"Hey, murderer!" Dongfang sighed in his heart, "Is it really pleasant to kill?"

After a period of pranayama, Dongfang Zhen had grown in spirit, and he sat up straight, looking at the surging water in front of him.

Before you know it, it's getting dusk. He hadn't read a book for a few days, and he didn't know the scene in front of him at this time, which had already been described by Bai Letian: "A remnant sun spreads in the water, half the river is sorrowful and half the river is red." The turbulent river constantly laps against the steep cliffs on both sides, making a "popping" sound.

His gaze gradually moved from the surface of the river to the banks of the mountains and greenery, and finally raised his head to look at the blue sky like a wash. A few translucent white clouds leisurely dot the clear blue sky, giving people a touch of melancholy. Looking at it, I suddenly felt that there was a beautiful face behind the white cloud, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was clearly Sang Qinghong's face, and he was looking at himself on the boat with concern.

"Sister Qinghong, are you okay? Don't worry, I'm out of danger!" Dongfang Zhen thought silently, slowly closed his eyes, and a trace of tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.

In his mind, Sang Qinghong's eyes at the time of parting clearly appeared, which was a kind of reluctance, concern, panic, helplessness and other intertwined looks, which was so poignant that it was heartbreaking.

"Sister Qinghong, you wait for me! When I heal from my injuries, I will come to you immediately!" he made up his mind.

Thinking about it, thinking of the master again, his heart was restless, and he thought: "There are many people in those bald donkeys, and most of the masters have been captured! But what they want to take is me, and I don't think they will hurt the master...... However, with the master's hard and unyielding temperament, he will never be caught without fighting until he is exhausted, hey, I hope his old man will not be injured...... Those bald donkeys will definitely take the master to Shaolin, and then blackmail our Kunlun faction to hand me over...... What should I do? Go, I must be dead, the master would never want to see this happen, even if he sacrificed himself, he didn't want me to be hurt in any way...... But if you don't go, how can you be worthy of the master's kindness, and what's the point of living a life of guilt?...... How can a manly husband be disloyal and unfilial, and live in the world? Even if he has a thousand cuts, he must rescue the master and his old man......"

Just thinking wildly and full of sorrow, he suddenly heard a whistle coming from the cliff on the right, and then a hoarse voice came from afar: "The second master! Waiting for the triumph! The big boss is also here in person!"

Zhang Er's face changed when he heard this, he looked at the crowd on the cliff, turned back to Dongfang Zhen and said anxiously: "Dongfang Hero, it's not good!

Dongfang Zhen had already vaguely guessed in his heart, and still asked: "Who is this Yuan Da in charge?"

"The big boss of Qingshuiyan!" Zhang Er saw that his expression was calm and calm, "I was so frightened and confused before, I forgot that their lair was near here, and I didn't expect that the big boss Yuan would come to answer in person...... What should I do? Oriental hero, do you have a way?"

"I can't help it. Dongfang Zhen's eyes flickered, and he shook his head slightly.

Zhang Erhe had already regarded him as a celestial, and when they heard his words, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, looking at him in a daze.

"Don't be afraid, don't ignore those thieves, and rush downstream! Everyone, quickly keep an eye on those sailors, don't let them have a chance to make a bad move!" Dongfang Zhen held his chin with his hand, and looked like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing color.

Zhang Er hurriedly led the brothers to run behind the sailors, pointed a dagger at the back of their hearts, and shouted: "Listen: no squeak! No stop! Whoever dares to disobey will kill him immediately!"

The sailors were pleasantly surprised to see their own people, and were about to look for an opportunity to escape, but in the blink of an eye they were restrained, and they did not dare to pay attention to their companions, so they had to stubbornly row downstream.

When the people on the shore saw that the boat had reached the middle of the river in front of them, there was still no sign of stopping, and they all clamored.

The hoarse voice sounded again, and his voice was full of annoyance: "The second master, why don't you stop?"

He saw that the people on the boat were silent, and when he crossed the river in front of them, he went downstream, and said angrily: "The second master, what's the matter?...... What kind of stinky temper are you playing with your grandmother? The big boss is already angry!"

"Don't shout! Something is wrong!" a purple-faced, yellow-bearded, blue-robed man in his forties looked solemn, "It's not our people on the boat, chase after it!"

※※※

Zhang Er looked back at the shore, but saw a group of people shouting and drinking, chasing along the riverbank, and said in a hurry: "Dongfang Hero, they are chasing after you!"

"Don't be afraid, they can't stop us!" Dongfang said in a deep voice.

"Yes...... But you see, they ran faster than us, and they ran to the front......" Zhang Er looked panicked.

"They don't have boats, so they can't help our ...... By the way, where is this cargo being sent?" When Sun Er first got on the ship to rob, Dongfang Zhen was in a groggy state in the cabin, so he didn't know.

"Yueyang Tower. ”

"Yueyang Tower?" Dongfang Zhen looked worried, "Then Yueyang Tower is at war with the Chu Xiang Alliance, this is troublesome!"

"Dongfang Hero, why do you know this?...... And I also heard that Yueyang Tower has fallen...... The owner of the commercial building was also killed!" Zhang Er's tone was nervous, and his eyes were confused.

"What?" Dongfang Zhen's face changed suddenly, and he grabbed his arm, "What did you say?" After listening to Zhang Er repeat it again, he slowed down and let go of his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you listening to about this?"

"That's Sun Er," Zhang Er stroked his pinched arm, "he told me when he first got on the boat to rob." ”

"Do you think it's credible?"

"Uh...... I think it should be true. Zhang Er sighed softly, "If not, how dare they come to rob us?"

Dongfang Zhen was silent when he heard this. He understood that Yueyang Tower had been captured by the Chu Xiang League, and he was so stunned that he sat motionless for a while.

Zhang Er saw his expression, and his heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Now, I can't think about it so much, go straight to the dock where you delivered. Dongfang Zhen regained his composure, "Hmph, they are not so bold that they dare to come to that dock to commit murder!"

The two were thinking about it, when they suddenly heard a "plop" sound, and then a guy shouted urgently: "Oh no, this person jumped into the river!"

Zhang Erxun looked at the river, but saw a thief sailor emerging from the yellow-green river and swimming towards the river.

Before the men came to their senses, the rest of the thieves and sailors also jumped into the river and followed him in a chaotic manner.

The sailors, all of whom were quite good at water, were not long on the shore, and stumbled along the riverside in pursuit of the thieves.

Dongfang Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was worried that these soft-hearted guys would not be able to control them, but now it seems that as expected, he had to sigh helplessly.

"Forget it! You row!" Zhang Er came back to his senses and shouted to his sailors.

Arranged to stop, he came to Dongfang Zhen and sat down next to him in frustration, looking at the air in confusion, like a lost fawn.

After more than 10 miles of the river, Dongfang saw that there were only a few enemies left on the river bank in front of him, and from time to time he reined in his horse and looked back, and his heart moved: "No, where is the thief's brigade?" Didn't you go ahead to find a boat?...... They must be trying to stop us ahead!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked Zhang Er: "Brother Zhang, is there a place on the left bank near where it is easy to moor the boat?"

"Docking the boat?" Zhang Er turned his head to look at him suspiciously, "Aren't we going to Yueyang Tower?"

"Well," Dongfang Zhen bowed his head lightly and muttered slightly: "Yueyang Tower can't go, the thieves will definitely intercept us in front...... Is there any?"

"Yes," Zhang Er thought about, "Three or four miles further, there is a harbor called Yangwan, the water is gentle, and it is easy to moor the boat." ”

Dongfang Zhenxi said: "That's good! We will abandon the ship there and go ashore and flee by land." ”

"Escape?" Zhang Er's eyes widened in surprise, "What about the cargo on the ship?...... Don't you want it?"

"My life is almost gone, what more do you want?!" Dongfang Zhen drank with a bang.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Zhang Er gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, and ordered the sailors to prepare to anchor in Yangwan.

After walking for a while, Zhang Er pointed to a harbor outside Li Xu and said, "Look at the Oriental Hero, this is there." ”

Dongfang Zhen glanced up and smiled: "Tell them, prepare to land." ”

"Look, there's a boat across the river ahead!" said a man at the bow of the boat, pointing forward, his voice slightly frightened.

Zhang Er stared at it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's not good, it's the boat of that gang of thieves in Yangwan!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw someone on the bow of the boat pointing to this side and saying loudly: "Yang Da is in charge, this is the ship!" Zhang Eryi heard that the voice was Yuan Da's master, and his face immediately turned pale with fright.

I only heard Yuan Da's boss continue to say loudly: "It's really hateful! They not only killed my second brother Sun, but also killed more than 20 of my brothers! Yang Da's master, Ben Da's master promised: As long as you help me intercept this ship, we will divide the account of the goods on this ship!"

"Damn, it turns out that there is such a powerful character on this ship!" The person who spoke should be the one who was in charge of Yang Da, "Yuan Da is in charge, why didn't you say it earlier? This is too dangerous, brother, I don't dare to provoke it!"

"Master Yang, you're too worried!" Yuan Da's voice was a little anxious, "Don't worry, listen to my brothers who escaped back, there is only one person on this ship who is powerful, but he has been seriously injured and can't stand up!"

"Oh, is it?" said Yang Da said lightly: "Then you can still consider it." ”

"Yang Da is in charge, as long as you are willing to help me, the goods on this ship ...... You are seven, I am three!" Yuan Da threw out the reserve price.

"Okay! That's it!" Yang Da Boss hid the joy in his heart, "Brother is out of the way, let's take the risk to help Yuan Da Boss this time!"

※※※

Zhang Er saw the enemy ship rushing straight forward, and hurriedly ordered the sailors to dock in advance. At that moment, Zhang Er carried Dongfang Zhen on his back, and several guys carried the injured guys on their backs, went ashore in a hurry, and ran to the ramp.

"Where to escape, the master is going to cramp and skin you!"

“......”

Yuan Da scolded angrily, and the ship was already anchored next to the cargo ship. The two masters each left a few thieves to watch the cargo ship, and led the remaining thieves to the shore in a murderous manner, and immediately frightened the red and green dragonflies and colorful butterflies dancing among the flowers by the river.

There were several stilted houses scattered on the riverbank, and when they saw this group of bandits coming, they were all so frightened that they closed their doors and closed their windows. On the mountainside outside Lixu, there is a bamboo shed teahouse half-hidden and half-conspicuous among the pine forests, because it is getting late, most of the tea guests have dispersed, and there are only three men drinking tea and laughing on a tea table.

"Look, what's going on?" one of the men stood up, and the other two followed suit, and the three of them looked down, but saw dozens of people with swords in their hands, chasing a group of people who looked like men. Seeing this, the owner of the teahouse was busy carrying the teapot and hiding, not daring to come out.

Dongfang Zhen, who was lying on Zhang Er's back, looked back, but saw that the enemy had chased him more than ten zhang away, and was busy searching for the enemy's place, and suddenly saw that the mountain road a few zhang away was quite narrow, the right was a steep slope near the river, and the left was a huge mountain rock, and there were dense clusters of trees and flowers growing on the rock.

"Quick, put me there!" Dongfang Zhen pointed to the mountain road.

Zhang Er hurriedly ran over and put him on the side of the road panting.

"You all hide behind me!" Dongfang Zhen leaned his back against Shanyan, and the double ring was already in his hand.

Yuan Da's iron spear rushed to the front first, and suddenly saw a dazzling round shadow hit the ground, "woo" roared and rushed to his throat, but he was not slow to react, and was busy erecting a gun. In the piercing sound of gold and iron, Yuan Da's arm was numb, and the iron gun almost got out of his hand.

He took a few steps back in horror, and when he looked down at the barrel of the gun, he had already made a cut.

"Who are you?" Yuan Da looked at Dongfang Zhen with fixed eyes, and his hands holding the gun trembled slightly.

The remaining thieves rushed up one after another, but saw a shirtless man covered in blood, holding a double ring and leaning against the side of the mountain rock, and behind him, hiding a group of silent men.

The thieves wanted to outflank them immediately, but after examining the terrain, they couldn't get around it at all, so they all stopped.

"Whoever dares to take half a step forward will die!" Dongfang shook out.

Seeing his cold eyes glaring at his group, the thieves all had murderous intent in their eyes, and their hearts tightened, and they couldn't help but take a step back in shock.

"Who are you? Report your name! Don't kill the unknown under the gun of the master!" Yuan Da looked a little inward-looking, but he didn't want to fold his prestige in front of everyone.

"You don't deserve to ask!" Dongfang Zhen glanced at him, "A word of advice: take your brothers and get out!"

Yuan Da was still unwilling, and pounced with guns in both hands, and the other two subordinates were eager to make meritorious contributions, and they also followed the blade. As soon as they rushed out of two steps, they heard a "clang", and the big boss had retreated violently. One person suddenly felt like a meteor passing in front of him, and blood splattered in his throat, and he fell softly. The other was shocked and hurriedly retreated.

The thieves were shocked, and suddenly realized that this person had killed more than 20 people including Sun Er, and his martial arts were naturally not trivial, and they were unwilling to be cannon fodder first, and they hesitated and did not dare to go again.

Yuan Da's shock was a little calm, and the two flying rings that he narrowly avoided before, which had already made him tremble, and he no longer dared to defy the law. He looked at the terrain, but when he saw that the mountain road was narrow, it could only accommodate three or four people at the same time, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"You guys go up!" said Yuan Da to several subordinates beside him.

Those subordinates scolded themselves in their hearts for rushing too forward, but they didn't dare to disobey, and their blades danced wildly, trembling and slowly moving forward.

With a "woo", the flying ring flew out like lightning and slashed into the chest of a thief, who screamed heartbreakingly and fell on his back.

The remaining three were terrified, and they danced their blades more quickly as they kept retreating.

"Don't retreat! You guys go up too!" Yuan shouted angrily, and pushed two more subordinates forward.

A thief on the right had just taken a step forward, when suddenly there was a scream, blood was dripping on his right leg, and he rolled down the steep slope and fell into the river with a terrible cry.

The remaining four were so frightened that they gathered together, waving their blades wildly with white faces, neither daring to step forward nor retreat.

Seeing that the Dongfang earthquake was so severe, Yang Da's colleagues in Qingshuiyan were killed and injured in an instant, and they didn't want to wade into this troubled water again, so they wanted to withdraw.

Yuan Da grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Don't go yet! In this way, you take your brothers to bypass from Shanyan and copy their back road, and we will attack from both sides." Don't worry, as long as it lasts for a long time, he will be tired, and he will be tired!"

One of Yang Da's family did not dare to offend because his strength was weaker than that of Qingshuiyan, and the other was reluctant to give up the seventy percent of the goods, so he had to agree. He led more than 20 of his subordinates to slowly bypass the mountain rocks, and instructed them not to get too close to the enemy on the way, so as not to kill or hurt themselves, just shouting and disturbing the enemy.

At this time, Yuan Da had changed his strategy, no longer forcing his brothers to be hard, but leading them to retreat to a place where the flying ring could not attack, and selected more than a dozen brothers who could use hidden weapons, and constantly attacked Dongfang Zhen with hidden weapons.

If Dongfang Zhen's long sword was in his hand, he would not be afraid of these ninth-rate secret weapon hands, but unfortunately, his long sword had been lost in the sea of fire on the deck. He wielded the double ring to cover the left and the right, although the double ring was powerful, but for self-defense, it was not as sharp as the long sword, and after a while, a flying knife had been hit in his right arm, and blood was gushing immediately.

He glanced at the twilight of the river and sighed in his heart.

He knows that in his current situation, he is like a live target, even if he can survive for a while, he will not last long, if he doesn't think of an idea as soon as possible, this will be the place where his group will die.
