Volume 1 The Characters of the Capital Chapter 12 Fierce Battle on the River
It's not too far away from the city of the moon, and it's getting dark, so it's hard for even the enemy troops on both sides of the surface to notice their presence, as long as they can escape this section of water, they can quietly return to the shore, or continue to drift downstream along the Han River.
And Lu Bai has been taking He Wenchang with him, and at this time, He Wenchang can only smile bitterly, although he has formed a wolf guard, all of them are cultivators of the Qi Condensation Realm, but he himself does not have the slightest cultivation, at most he will have a little martial arts, but he is too far from a cultivator.
When it got dark, all the wolf guards surfaced, and only then did they have time to breathe, but fortunately they chose to set off at dusk, so they were able to take advantage of the night to avoid the pursuit of the enemy.
But thinking that there is still such a distance from the capital, and this time the other party did not succeed in killing Lu Bai, they will definitely continue to do it later, but with this lesson, they all have a heart.
Before, they didn't expect that the people behind them would be so bold and ambush the official ship directly on the river.
In the dark night, very few merchant ships would continue to move in the water, so when Lu Bai and the others arrived at Qiyue City, they could only wait until daylight before they could continue their journey.
However, the people who ambushed them before would definitely be waiting for them in the city to throw themselves into the net, so Lu Bai and the others did not enter the city of the moon, but had already infiltrated a huge merchant ship the night before.
It wasn't until the next day that the merchant ship set off and entered the Yangtze River, Lu Bai ordered the wolf guard to climb the mountain deck from the bottom of the ship, and then controlled the entire merchant ship.
Compared to the Han River, the Yangtze River is much wider, and even the heavy crossbows in the army are difficult to involve in the central area of destruction, so the people who ambushed them before must take boats if they want to continue to pursue them.
And the official ships are too obvious, and ordinary ships can't ambush more people, so the other party will definitely take a huge merchant ship, so the scope is much narrower, and it will be easier for them to monitor the big ships coming and going on the river.
The most important thing is that it is difficult for the public wrath used to ambush them before to be carried onto the merchant ship, which means that the other party cannot carry out a large-scale long-range attack on them, but even so, Lu Bai is still a little afraid of the previous sharpshooter.
Although it was said that that the archer had broken through Lu Bai's protective true qi with the help of a strong crossbow before, he could not deny the strength of that archer because of this.
And he didn't know if there were other more powerful cultivators besides the one who had at least reached the peak of the Innate Realm, which was what Lu Bai was most worried about.
Although he himself was a master who had stepped into the Foundation Building Realm with half a foot, and there were a hundred wolf guards by his side, if he really encountered a great cultivator of the Foundation Building Realm, they would face a bitter battle.
And if there really is a great cultivator of the foundation realm, then there will definitely not be no other cultivators.
"Master Chen, don't be afraid, if there is any loss, I will definitely find a way to compensate you. Lu Bai looked at Chen Dangjia, who was trembling slightly on the other side, and dared not speak out.
"Who are you? Why should I believe you? ”
Chen Dangjia is a businessman, there are at most more than a hundred workers under his hands, and there are only dozens of people on the ship, where have he ever seen such a big battle, and they are all cultivators of the Qi Condensation Realm.
"I'm Lu Bai, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, now you can rest assured!"
Lu Bai didn't say anything, he directly took out his token, in this case, there is nothing more effective than this identity token, although he can also take the form of force, but he doesn't bother to do that, and that's not his style.
"It turned out to be Lord Lu, and the grass people had seen Lord Lu. ”
Chen Dangjia and his others knelt down with a plop, in fact, where did he know Lu Bai, he just knew that the other party was a member of the Privy Council, which was not easy to mess with, and he was also a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and he was in a high position at a young age, which must be extraordinary.
And he said that it was not only the Privy Council Vice-Chancellor in front of him that was feared, but also the Privy Councillor's enemies.
But this may not be a good thing for him, even the deputy envoy of the Privy Council can be forced to this part, which shows that the enemy they face must be very powerful, he has been mixed in the shopping mall for so many years, and he has dealt with people in officialdom a lot, he is very tactful, and his eyesight is not bad, how can he not see this.
The so-called immortal fight, mortals suffer, he is just a small businessman, and he does not have much background, in the face of the struggle between the ministers of the capital, he may die at any time.
But at the same time, he also knows very well in his heart that now he has no way out, if he disagrees, but this ship has been occupied by Lu Bai, and he has no effect on disagreeing, so he can only go all the way to the black with Lu Bai.
If Lu Bai and the others can successfully return to the capital, he may be on the thigh of the Privy Council, which will be of great benefit to him in business, after all, in this era, if a businessman does not have an official background, it is difficult to become bigger and stronger.
Otherwise, even if you have a lot of money, you will only become fat in the eyes of some bureaucrats.
Although this merchant ship is not as magnificent as the official ship, its speed is not slow, and with the current, it will not soon go half the way.
It was at this time that Lu Bai found that a large merchant ship began to slowly approach them, and not only them, many large merchant ships had come into contact with this ship.
And Lu Bai, who had been observing, had been paying attention to that merchant ship for a long time, and he could almost tell that the person who wanted to chase and kill them was on this merchant ship, so he quickly issued an order to be on guard.
At this time, the Chen family had already hid in the cabin of the ship, for fear of being affected, and they ordinary people had no way to deal with these powerful enemies, even cultivators.
There was a lot of cargo on the deck of this ship, which provided Lu Bai with good shelter conditions. Although Lu Bai didn't know how the other party found them, as the merchant ship got closer and closer, he seemed to feel the aura of cultivators, and there were quite a few of them, which made him even more sure of his judgment.
And there are a hundred wolf guards on their side, and the aura they exude must have been noticed by the other party.
At such a close distance, it would probably be easier for that Divine Archer to break through his protective true qi.
When the two boats were less than 100 meters apart, there were already cultivators on the other boat, wanting to board their boat.
One of the wolf guards picked up his sword and was about to slash at the cultivator, but the next moment an arrow pierced through the void and shot at the wolf guard.
And behind that arrow, there were still many cultivators who came across the river, ready to board the boat.
Lu Bai naturally couldn't let the other party kill his wolf guard under his nose, so he directly picked up a knife and poured his true qi and slashed at that arrow.
Although that arrow was extraordinarily powerful, Lu Bai's one was also not weak, and he cut it down directly.
But then the knife in Lu Bai's hand broke into several pieces because it couldn't withstand the huge force.
At that moment, that knife was not only bearing Lu Bai's violent true qi, but also the terrifying impact from that arrow.
Through this close encounter, Lu Bai could basically judge that the strength of the divine archer who shot this arrow was not weaker than him at all, and it seemed that he was in the same situation, he was also stuck in the half-step foundation building realm, which was more than enough for a cultivator at the peak of the innate realm, but it was a little insufficient compared to a cultivator in the foundation building realm.
This judgment made Lu Bai's mood feel a lot more relaxed, at least the other party was not a great cultivator of the foundation realm. After all, although Lu Bai's strength can be compared to the great cultivators of the Foundation Building Realm, there are still some gaps, if he really fights, after a long time, he will definitely lose.
And the sharpshooter never showed up, just hid on the opposite ship, although the other party was strong, but in this case, he was able to show the true strength of a sharpshooter.
If he is close to the enemy, the strength of the archer will drop a lot, after all, without the help of the bow and arrow, the opponent in hand-to-hand combat may not be Lu Bai's opponent.
While Lu Bai rescued the wolf guard, he slapped out with a palm, and the majestic true qi gushed out, directly killing the other party, and the body fell into the river.
This is the first person Lu Bai has killed so far, and he is still a cultivator.
Although Lu Bai knew that these people were here to kill him, when he actually killed someone, there was still a little turmoil in his heart.
Maybe after staying in this world for a longer time, he will get used to the feeling of killing, but at least for now, he still can't get rid of the guilt of killing, it is a living life after all, but it has disappeared from this world because of the interests of officialdom.
Although the first attack ended in failure, soon the two ships were almost close together, and it was easy for the other side to get on board, and a big battle was about to begin.
Although there were not many Qi Condensation Realm cultivators on the other side, there were several Innate Realm cultivators, and the strongest of them was the Divine Archer.
In addition, there are two cultivators at the peak of the Innate Realm, and this formation is already a bit of pressure on Lu Bai.
After all, the three powerful Innate Realm masters are all close to the Foundation Building Realm, and at first glance, they have been cultivating for many years, and they don't know how many lives there are in their hands!
And Lu Bai usually had a trick with Zhuang Yi, even the killing had just begun.
But the other party obviously didn't want to give Lu Bai the slightest respite, and the other cultivators dragged the wolf guard, and the three Innate Realm masters besieged Lu Bai alone.
Although it was said that the archer had no way to use the bow and arrow, he was still powerful, and with the other two cultivators at the peak of the Innate Realm, Lu Bai was helpless for a while, and even had been restrained, without any advantage at all.
