The Qingyan Boat is a large building ship, with three floors built in the middle of the whole ship, with two masts erected on the bow end deck and one mast at the stern end, and there are entrances and exits to and from the bilge at the bow and stern.

Duan Qianqiu and the others came out of the bilge at the bow of the ship, and on the foredeck of the ship, there were some wooden barrels filled with sand and soil for fire prevention on the ship.

They were now hiding behind the barrels, with revenated corpses clawing clawed on the board, and scattered along the walkways that connected the bow and stern of the ship's buildings in search of the living or corpses.

This large number of returning corpses fought like an army, obviously after a long period of training, and this sniping of Qingyanzhou must have been carefully planned and organized by someone behind it.

In order not to alarm the reverted corpses, Duan Qianqiu and the others quietly followed the wooden steps of the building ship to the second floor, but from the second floor to the third floor, in addition to going up the stairs, they also had to pass through a corridor, and now there were two reaved corpses in this corridor that were gnawing at the corpses of the soldiers of the Yulin Army on the ground, and they also found that there were already several reverted corpses swimming around on the deck at the bow of the ship on the first floor.

Under the enemy's back, the young officer glanced at Duan Qianqiu, and then nodded at each of the two returning corpses, meaning one for each person, and they all started together. Duan Qianqiu nodded at him.

The officer and Duan Qianqiu tiptoed closer to the Soul Returning Corpse, each getting ready. The two reaved corpses were only concerned with eating the corpses, and did not notice the secret movement of the two of them.

Seeing that the time had come, the officer gestured and waved, and the two of them shot at the same time!

Duan Qianqiu stabbed straight out with a horizontal knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife crossed the temple of a returning corpse, and this returning corpse was killed instantly. He had just had time to pull the knife out of the head of the rejuvenated corpse, only to find that another rejuvenated corpse had actually grabbed the young officer's broadsword with its claws!

This rejuvenated corpse was wearing a Taoist robe, and it may have been a Taoist priest before his death. Between the shots, there are both ruthlessness and swiftness unique to the soul returning corpse in the dense moves, which is very difficult.

The young officer seemed to be very unaccustomed to performing his grappling skills in such a narrow space, his broadsword was restrained, and he was afraid that the noise would be too loud to attract other revived corpses, so he made a restrained move, and for a while he could only parity with this revenated corpse wearing Taoist robes.

The situation was critical, and the sound of their fight had already attracted the attention of the other reaved corpses, so there was no need to hesitate! At this moment, Duan Qianqiu suddenly became lighter, and under the wind blowing by the river, his body flew up like a piece of paper.

He floated to the top of the revenant corpse's head and slammed the knife straight in.

The rejuvenating corpse let out a hoarse roar in its throat, and its body slowly came to a standstill.

Duan Qianqiu squatted on the deck, gently holding the fallen corpse of the Returning Soul Corpse to prevent it from making a louder noise.

The young officer gave him a grateful look, then dragged the other four to the third floor.

Duan Qianqiu was the last to go upstairs, and before he went up to the third floor, he sent a green flag flower rocket in the direction of Zhang Pu's warship, signaling: The people he was looking for have been found, and they are all safe now.

Then he went up the third floor along the stairway, and saw that the passage up the stairs was very narrow, in order to temporarily prevent the search and attack of the returning corpse, he blocked the passage from the second floor to the third floor with a large wooden cabinet in the room, and then filled the large wooden cabinet with all kinds of miscellaneous items.

The six people gathered together in the princess's room, and Duan Qianqiu bowed his hand to the other five: "I am from the Cao Governor's Mansion, called Duan Qianqiu, and I was ordered to come to rescue the princess, may I ask which one is the princess?"

The beautiful girl with a calm expression and a beautiful orchid took a step forward, stood beside the "flying leg" girl and said: "I am Zheng Bingrong, the princess of Fengzhi, and the one next to me is the eldest daughter of the current emperor, Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang Yang Xin." ”

Duan Qianqiu arched his hand and said: "Duan Qianqiu saw the two princesses, they were in critical condition, and there were many inconsiderate manners, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Zheng Bingrong nodded to him with a smile, and Yang Yuxin snorted and turned her face sideways.

Duan Qianqiu looked at the young officer, and the young officer introduced himself: "I am Lu Bangyan, the commander of the Zuo Yulin Army, and I have thanked Brother Duan for saving his life. I don't know that Brother Duan is now a few rank martial arts in the Caowei camp. ”

"Me?" Duan Qianqiu said, "No taste! I've only been in the Cao camp for a few days, and I'm now a squad leader." ”

Yang Qixin said angrily: "Did the Huaiyin Assassin Mansion and the Cao Governor's Mansion only send a team leader like you to come and save us?"

In the face of this kind of accusation, Duan Qianqiu's heart was full of anger, but his tone was cold and indifferent: "There are hundreds of brothers in Caoying outside who sacrificed their lives for the safety of the princess!

Yang Yuxin saw that this pawn of the Cao camp actually dared to contradict him, and was about to scold him, but when he thought of the scene of the Yulin Army dying one after another in order to protect himself, he felt compassion and sadness, although he was ridiculed by Duan Qianqiu, he did not reprimand again.

Lu Bangyan has been by the princess's side for a long time, knowing her soft-hearted temperament, seeing her gloomy appearance, and understanding that she is compassionate for the death and injury of everyone, so he comforted her: "The princess doesn't have to worry, no matter if she is humble or Duan, whether it is Caoying or Yulinwei, where her duty lies, she must go all out to protect Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Lu Bangyan's face is extremely heroic, his shoulders are broad and his waist is round, his legs are like pillars, and after putting on his armor, he is even more like a god descending to earth. He is a son of a family, inherited from his father's shadow into the Imperial City North Guard Yulin Army, but can be promoted to the commander of the Zuo Yulin Army, he relies on his own skills, his knife is called "Breaking the Formation", the knife is like its person, every move and every style are awe-inspiring.

But he is much more thoughtful and tactful than his knife skills.

He saw Duan Qianqiu's gaze sweeping towards the little palace maid and the little eunuch behind the princess, so he introduced the other two people to Duan Qianqiu, the palace maid's name was Chunmei, who was Zheng Bingrong's personal treat, and the little eunuch's name was Yanxi, who had been serving Yang Yuxin since he was a child.

Duan Qianqiu saw that Lu Bangyan was humble and polite in his speech, and he had a good impression. Seeing that he was frowning, he knew that he was hurting his mind to deal with the matter of the Returning Soul Corpse, so he explained the key points of attacking the Returning Soul Corpse and the advantages and disadvantages of the Returning Soul Corpse one by one.

He said it in a low voice, and the other people in the room also pricked up their ears to listen carefully, including Yang Yuxin, who nodded frequently.

In the end, the little palace maid Chunmei lowered her voice and said cautiously: "I promise not to cry, so Brother Duan, don't cover my mouth with your hand anymore." ”

Yan Xi pursed her lips and snickered, taunting Chunmei and said, "What is so difficult about you to guarantee, anyway, you cry and promise every time." ”

The two have been together for a long time because of the relationship between the owners, so they often joke with each other.

In normal times, it's just that, but now that the strong enemy is around, burning their eyebrows, the two of them are still playful, banter as usual, Yang Yaxin saw them presumptuous, glared at the two, and the two immediately hung their heads and stood solemnly, and they didn't dare to come out.

Among the crowd, Shu Zheng Bingrong was the calmest, and she said to Duan Qianqiu: "You are familiar with this place, do you have a way to take everyone out?"

Duan Qianqiu thought to himself: "I've only been here for a few days, and you really look up to me." However, he understood that if he was not sure, it would definitely be a big blow to morale, so he bowed down and said: "The corpses of the soul returning on the periphery are being exterminated by the Caowei Water Army, plus the Huaiyin Mansion's Water Army and the guards of Lord Qincha will arrive later." We just have to stay here and wait for help. ”

Yang Yaxin said worriedly: "Is it really possible?" Her voice was very thin and soft, as if she was just speaking to herself.

Duan Qianqiu knew that she didn't trust her completely, and in order to calm her emotions, he replied sincerely: "The humble position is guaranteed by the head of the head, and the princess will never be hurt." ”

The two princesses calmed down a little.

The room where they were located was the center of the entire ship, and the materials used to build it were the best and sturdiest, except that the door was damaged in the battle, otherwise it would be good as a fortified fortress.

Duan Qianqiu walked out of the room and looked at the battle situation on the river, which was still in a state of stalemate, which meant that it was impossible for Zhang Pu to attack Qingyanzhou in a short period of time to save them, as for when other reinforcements would come, whether they would come, Duan Qianqiu couldn't say.

He took a look at his surroundings and had a plan in mind!

One of the last moments, the ultimate plan he was ready to use!

So he found Lu Bangyan and asked, "General Lu, is there a long rope on the ship?"

"There's something on the deck, Brother Duan, what are you going to do?"

"I can't say it right now, it's just a backup rescue plan, and I hope it won't be used. Duan Qianqiu's tone was hesitant, and he was hesitating whether to tell Lu Bangyan the details of this plan.

Lu Bangyan saw his expression, so he said solemnly: "Brother Duan, we are already a person in the same boat now, as a guard general, if something happens to the princess, I will not be able to escape the blame, what is Brother Duan's plan, please make it clear, no matter how difficult it is to accept, as long as the princess can be preserved, Lu will gladly accept it." ”

Duan Qianqiu saw that he was resolute, so he told Lu Bangyan his final plan!

When Lu Bangyan heard this, his face turned red and white for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "If it really comes to the last moment, just do it!

Duan Qianqiu was vaguely worried in his heart, and muttered, "I hope that moment will not come!"
