These two people are Princess Gaoyang Yang Yixin and Princess Fengzhi Zheng Bingrong.

Yang Yixin and Zheng Bingrong are both unparalleled national colors of the Dajing Dynasty, with a glamorous reputation, noble status, and outstanding talent, and they are the objects of admiration and pursuit of many princes and grandsons.

Yang Yaoxin was born by Yang Heng's former queen Wan, Wanhou was born with a fragrant body, a slender waist, a very beautiful posture, coupled with a gentle and demure character, she was very favored by Yang Heng, Yang Heng often held her waist with her hand and said with a smile: Be careful after Wan, don't break it, it makes me feel distressed.

It's a pity that the red face is fate, and Queen Wan died of illness shortly after giving birth to Yang Yaxin, Yang Heng loved her very much, and for her death, he was so sad that he was reluctant to come to the court for a while. After Empress Wan's death, Yang Heng was even more pampered to Yang Yuxin.

Yang Yuxin yearns for freedom by nature, stubborn and competitive, since the age of five has been traveling around the country, and when he was in his old age, he visited Anfu Confucianism An Yiren as a teacher to learn the six arts.

Every year, Yang Yixin has to take her exclusive Qingyan boat to go back and forth between Lin'an and Yehuang City several times, and now it is the end of the year, she returns from Lin'an as usual, accompanied by her closest sister Zheng Bingrong.

Zheng Bingrong is Yang Yixin's senior sister, she was born in a famous family, and is the third daughter of King Zhengyang of the Hebei clan, and has been studying under An Yiren for fifteen years. Her Xiao stage name moved the world, and the legend is that a jade sky order is played, the music is smart, and she can summon the phoenix to dance, and Yang Heng gave the princess the name, so she is also called Princess Fengzhi.

This time, she returned to Yehuang City with Yang Yixin from Lin'an Mansion, but unexpectedly encountered a "water demon" on the Huaiyin Mansion Boundary Canal, and the boat almost sank after hitting the reef.

There are many colors of the Flag Flower Rocket, and this pure yellow one is the highest level, indicating that the rescuer in the attack is at least one level of the royal family.

After seeing the signal, the naval army stationed along the shore of Caodu's Mansion urgently reported to Caodu's Mansion, Wei Wenting was still temporarily in charge of Caowei, so he ordered Caowei's left battalion of the naval army to go to reinforcements quickly, and at the same time sent someone to report to the Qincha Administration and inform Huaiyin Assassin Shifu.

Because of the importance of the matter, Zhang Pu, the general of the left battalion, personally led the army to go, although Duan Qianqiu did not belong to the water military camp, but he had a very close relationship with Zhang Pu, and Zhang Pu attached great importance to his martial arts and water nature, so he called Duan Qianqiu on the warship and went straight to the place where the incident occurred in Qingyanzhou.

It is the middle of winter, the water level of the river is lowered, but the canal is still a vast sea of smoke, the place where the green goose boat hits the reef, in the area of the river reef, is a forbidden place with many reef whirlpools and treacherous waterways, even fishermen with many years of experience dare not easily enter.

What's more, it is the dry season, and the water is shallow and the reef is exposed, and it is easy to run into the reef and sink ships.

The green goose boat is 20 zhang long and 8 zhang wide, and the hull is huge, and it is stuck in the middle of two reefs.

After the tide receded, the hull situation was seen more clearly, only to see that the rudder spindle was broken, and the port side near the bilge sailor's room was hit by a large hole in the reef.

If anyone on board wants to leave, they can only go ashore in a lifeboat.

On this day, the weather was gloomy, there was fog on the river, after the arrival of the fleet of Caowei Zuoying, the river was full of smoke and visibility, but the water conditions around the Qingyan boat were very calm, and the boat was silent.

When the left battalion arrived, they sent a loud shout to the ship, but no one answered.

Zhang Pu looked at the surface of the water, frowned, and said, "Where did the water demon come from?" was about to ask someone to put down the dinghy and get close to the Qingyan boat.

Duan Qianqiu was beside him and stopped: "General, this water is a little strangely quiet, wait a while." ”

He had the arrows of the mines fetched, and after they were lit, they were shot into the river. His bravery was astonishing, and the arrow went into the water very deep, and the mine detonated in the depths, causing a surge, and the bottom of the water flashed red. Then, there was a strange movement at the bottom of the water, and a large group of black objects that swam like big fish approached the left camp warship.

Most of the Caowei sailors had heard the story of the water demon, and when they saw a large group of unknown objects swimming closer, they couldn't help but get nervous.

Zhang Pu was very calm at this time, and he said, "Shoot arrows into the water, see what it is?"

The sailors began to shoot arrows into the water, only to hear a scream, a patch of blood rising from the river, and even corpses floating up.

The corpse was in human form, with a hideous and ugly face, a scorched and thin complexion, like a skeleton, with deep-set eyes, and red ghostly fire flickering in its pupils.

Seeing the corpses of these monsters float up, there were already people in the water camp shouting: "Water Demon!", the crowd suddenly stirred, and the fear of gods and ghosts made most of the water soldiers so frightened that they forgot to shoot arrows.

At this time, several of the water demons who had been hit by arrows suddenly came back to life, grinning open, revealing long red tongues and sharp thin teeth, but there was no clear sound in their throats, only a faint roar of despair and pain vibrating in their chests.

One of the water demons inserted his claws into the side planks of the warship, and then jumped up with the help of his strength, jumped onto the warship where Zhang Pu was, pounced into a group of Cao battalion officers and soldiers, grabbed a crossbowman, and opened his mouth to bite the blood vessels in his neck.

Although the body of the water demon is stiff, it is full of strength, fast and sharp, and there is a hidden speed of a martial arts master.

I only heard the screams of the officers and soldiers, and the blood from the neck spurted out a few feet, and the water demon swallowed the flesh and blood in his mouth, and let out a strange cry of "ho ho" from his mouth, and the other sailors around him scattered in fear, and even abandoned the ship and jumped into the water regardless of it, becoming the prey of other water demons in the water.

Duan Qianqiu rushed from the bow of the boat to the stern of the boat that was attacked by the water demon, pulled out the horizontal knife in his waist, and cut off the head of the water demon with just one knife, and the head fell on the board of the boat.

Duan Qianqiu stood tall in the crowd and shouted: "This kind of monster is the same as the enemy you usually face, you can kill them by attacking their heads with a knife or arrow, don't panic." Remember, hit them in the head!"

Zhang Pu also said loudly at this time: "If there is a cowardly enemy and disturbs the morale of the army, immediately behead! Listen to my order, line up, the archers take turns to shoot arrows, if there is a water demon on the boat, the shield hand will cover, and the spearman will stab his head." ”

Seeing that the commander came out to suppress the formation, the sailors on the boat calmed down a lot, and lined up in battle according to the order, and shot arrows at the water demon close to the side of the ship from time to time.

The skin and flesh of the water demon are extremely thin and thin, as if only some dried meat is attached to dry bones, and the hair is sparse and does not resemble that of a human, but it is clothed in human clothes.

Duan Qianqiu approached the corpse of the water demon on the boat, dipped some corpse blood in a cloth, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and then used a knife to pick up some worms in the blood and look at it, and finally he turned the body of the water demon over, exposed his back, and cut his spine with a knife. I saw that where the skin was blooming, there was a black leech more than a foot long attached tightly to the spine, leading to the cerebral marrow.

"Three corpse zombie worms, could it be Miao Jiang's corpse magic technique?" Duan Qianqiu muttered.

At this time, Zhang Pu came to him, and when he saw him looking at the corpse of the water demon, he asked, "Brother, what are these water demons, do you have a clue?"

Duan Qianqiu said: "These are not water demons at all, they are just people who are being controlled and dying. In the past, there was an evil art called Miao Jiang Corpse Divine Technique, the Gu caster used a living person to make a soul returning corpse, after these people were controlled, they were like dead people, had no thoughts, lost their humanity, and only obeyed the Gu caster, relying on devouring flesh and blood to maintain action, because the soul returning corpse devoured and killed, as long as the head was not destroyed, they could continue to kill, so some local forces in Miao Jiang would specialize in refining the soul returning corpse to participate in the war. This rejuvenated corpse that jumped on the boat may have been a martial arts master before his death, so his ability is relatively strong. ”

Zhang Pu said angrily: "Someone actually uses this kind of evil art to destroy human nature to fight, and is he not afraid of being punished by God?!"

Then he looked at the soul-returning corpses surging in the river, pointed to the Qingyan boat and said: "This big ship is on the port side, it should have been hit by the ship's board and the hole was opened, I don't know if these soul-returning corpses will enter the cabin through the gap, if so, the people in the ship will be in trouble?"

Duan Qianqiu said: "Now the situation is unknown, and it is useless for us to speculate randomly, it is best to send someone to board the ship to investigate." ”

Zhang Pu sighed and said, "Brother, you have also seen it, this group of people under my command was frightened by the water demons, and they didn't dare to go into the water at all." ”

Because of the need to avoid the reef in the water, the Caoying warship could anchor on the periphery of the Linjiang Reef, Duan Qianqiu visually measured the distance between their warship and the Qingyan boat, and it was about twenty-five or six zhang, even if he wanted to jump over, it was absolutely impossible. It is even more impossible to enter the water, there are about hundreds of resurrected corpses in the water, and in the water, their combat power is stronger, even if they take a small boat, they will be overturned in an instant.

Seeing that Duan Qianqiu didn't speak for a while, Zhang Pu thought that he had no choice, so he said, "I think it's better to wait for Lord Qincha's guards to come over, and then think of a way, right?"

Duan Qianqiu saw that Zhang Pu was a little cowering, knowing that he was also stunned to return to the soul corpse, but he didn't reveal it, so he smiled and said: "Big brother, isn't there still a little brother me, I'll just get on the boat." In the past few days, Duan Qianqiu has become familiar with Zhang Pu, and he has begun to call him a brother.

"The river is so wide here, how can you get there?"

Duan Qianqiu said: "Fly over!"
