Chapter 67 The river is still cold
After General Mo and Wang Chen returned to the team, everyone tacitly agreed not to ask anything. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info walked for two more days, and finally returned to the edge of Ruoshui City.
Everyone saw that the heavily armed soldiers inside and outside the city almost filled the streets, and they couldn't help but have a headache. "It won't be the one who arrested us, right?" Changlin asked with a trembling voice.
No one answered him, he turned his head to see that Wang Chen and Yan Hou had already clenched the weapons in their hands, and the faces of General Mo and Li Su were also serious. Wang Chen saw that his expression was still a little puzzled, so he explained, "Unless someone breaks into the North Palace in the past few days when we go to the Snow Mountain, who else can make them make such a big move?"
"Then fight with them!" "Since the marrow of the scriptures, Changlin's courage has become stronger, and he wants to fight with anyone he meets.
Seeing that he pulled out his sword and was about to rush forward, Wang Chen grabbed him, "Don't worry!" He looked at Mo Jiang with a serious face, "Dead old man, do you have any good ideas?"
General Mo shook his head, "There is no good way. Originally, I thought that I could take the waterway and go down the river to the eastern country. However, looking at this posture, it is estimated that Jiangshang has also been blocked. ”
"Go check it out. Wang Chen made a decision.
The people put away their weapons and ran cautiously around the city towards the river. Before he was halfway through the run, he bumped into two people head-on.
"Lao Xia!" Not only Wang Chen, but even General Mo shouted in surprise, "Why did you come here?"
Lao Xia's face was hidden under the iron mask, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but the man beside him was solemn and mighty, wearing a suit of armor and a soldier's dress. He saw his hands clasped into fists and saluted respectfully, "The Hanging Alliance Lei Ba has seen the alliance leader and the super soldier. ”
"Hmm. Mo Jiang bowed slightly, signaling that he didn't need to be polite.
Lei Ba straightened up and continued as if making a report, "The river has been blocked by the four martial arts sects and hundreds of warships mobilized from all over the country, and I am afraid that there is no way to leave by conventional means. I'm currently serving in the Four Elephants Pavilion Army, and I happen to be in charge of a warship. He stopped here as he spoke, but Wang Chen and General Mo already understood what he meant.
Wang Chen touched his chin and muttered for a moment, "You mean to secretly transport us away by warship?" But you can't send us to the eastern kingdom in one go. ”
Lei Ba lowered his head slightly, and stood there without speaking. Lao Xia hurriedly helped him and added, "There is a gentle inlet not far down from here, and our brothers from the Hanging Alliance will meet you there. After that, you will go to the east by land. ”
"Is the Lei Ba Brothers in danger?" Wang Chen just wanted to agree, but his mind turned, and he asked again.
Lei Ba nodded, "The army that joined the Four Elephant Pavilion is to serve the alliance on this day." Danger, what a worry. ”
"Okay, it's a big husband. Wang Chen laughed heartily.
Now that everything has been said about this, it seems hypocritical to shirk again. They followed Lei Ba and soon got up to a small warship on the riverside. The soldiers on the ship had been knocked unconscious and tied to the side. Lao Xia whispered to a few people, "When you sail for a while, no matter what happens, you must not come out." ”
Wang Chen looked at him, and had some doubts in his heart, what is the good thing about taking a boat, he will never rush out and cut it when he sees the enemy ship. However, looking at Lao Xia's serious expression, he still nodded.
The warships soon sailed on the river without hurry, and the wide river was indeed covered with large and small warships floating with the banners of the Four Elephant Pavilions, the smallest of which was about the same as them, and the largest was like a moving castle. In addition to the warships, there are some small fishing boats along the river, and there seem to be people fishing on them.
Seeing this, Wang Chen couldn't help frowning, "Why are these people still fishing at this time?" he asked. You must know that if the water city is close to the snow-capped mountains, half of the river water is melted snow, which is much colder than other places. Coupled with the climate, the north is more northerly, and winter comes earlier than in other places. It's early winter. Fishing in the river this day is a chore.
"The tax is too high, and all the grain harvested in the autumn is used to feed the uncles in Ruoshui City who only know how to enjoy. No fishing, what to eat. Lao Xia explained angrily, "Isn't this the way of the world? the poorer the poorer, the richer the rich!"
The faces of several people were gloomy, and the anger that had been eliminated from the world in the snow-capped mountains came out again at this time.
Li Su was a girl, and her heart for the country and the people was not as strong as theirs, but she still felt a sad emotion, she turned her head out of the window, and suddenly a small boat came into her eyes, only a dry old man and a small child on board, both of them were wearing thin clothes and barefoot. They pushed the side of the boat and pulled their nets upward, as if they had caught a fish, and both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
Li Su couldn't help but be happy for them, but as soon as the smile appeared on her face, it immediately changed to horror, "Ah!" she couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a scream.
"What's wrong!" Hearing the scream, Wang Chen reacted immediately, he protected Li Shu behind him, and looked out the window. The sight of his eyes suddenly made his blood rush to the top of his head.
The grandfather and grandson had just pulled the fish onto the boat and were happy. But they didn't see that behind them, a medium-sized warship was speeding forward, and as if it didn't see anyone in front of it, it slammed straight into the side of the small fishing boat. How can a fishing boat compare with a war ship? Immediately, they were knocked apart, and the grandfather and grandson fell straight into the water with the newly caught fish. Instead of apologetic or saving people, a few soldiers came out with bows and arrows and shot a few arrows. The grandfather hurriedly took his grandson in his arms. "Whoosh" until the white feather arrow pierced through his back, and the water immediately fainted with blood. Several soldiers laughed and walked back to the cabin. All that was left was the grandson's desperate cry, "Grandpa, grandpa~"
"Click" The wooden window frame held by Wang Chen in his hand scattered into sawdust, and he stomped his foot, turned around and left. Yan Hou, Changlin, and Li Su also stood up and followed.
Lao Xia naturally hated it, but after all, he was used to seeing these scenes, and he was still thinking about the task of this trip, so he hurriedly ran a few steps and grabbed Wang Chen's arm, "You will be exposed when you go out!"
Wang Chen's eyes were almost about to erupt with fire, he turned around and glared at Lao Xia, "This is an innocent human life!"
"You said you wouldn't come out no matter what happened. No jokes!"
Wang Chen stared at Lao Xia deadly, "If I watch two innocent lives sink into the river, then what is the difference between me and the Four Elephant Pavilion?" he paused, his fists rattled, and the last sentence was almost squeezed out of his teeth, "Do you want such a king too?" he asked coldly.
"But??? Lao Xia still wants to persuade.
Wang Chen didn't want to listen anymore, he shook his hand, "Ah Hou." ”
"Whew", a long stick responded to Lao Xia's neck. Seeing Wang Chen run out of the hatch. Yan Houcai silently withdrew the stick, said "I'm sorry", and ran out of the door.
"Alas!" Lao Xia watched several teenagers disappear outside the cabin, and couldn't help beating his chest and sighing.
Mo Jiang, who had been sitting firmly on Mount Tai and drinking a little wine, laughed, he stepped down from his seat and patted Lao Xia on the shoulder, "This is the king we chose!"
"But ???" Lao Xia sighed, "This will definitely be discovered now." ”
"Brother of the Hanging Alliance, are you still afraid of fighting?" General Mo smiled even more happily, "The harder the bones, the better they taste!"
Lao Xia looked at him, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then turned into a hearty laugh, "Okay, I'll inform the brothers immediately." Get ready for battle!"
