464 The Journey of Smoke and Water (I)
Three days before the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the Qin family feasted guests in the name of worshipping their ancestors, accompanied by the eldest son, and all the leaders of the rivers and lakes were present, which is a rule every year. Of course, this year, Xie Junhe was invited to sit beside Qin Xiao, and he couldn't leave an inch - Qin Xiao hated to tell every visitor from the rivers and lakes how important Xie Junhe was to him now-this was a treatment that Li Luo had never had, and of course no one had it.
Three tables away, Lin Liguo's eyes were still staring at him, gloomy and angry. The Pavilion Master of the Aotian Pavilion beside him staggered past and patted him on the shoulder: "The new person laughs, and the old person cries." ”
"The wild monkeys in the mountains, and they also want to learn to enter the room!" Lin Liguo scolded hatefully.
I don't know where a squeezing voice came: "The wild monkey has a long life, unlike your son-in-law Jin Gui, who died violently in Gentle Township!" Haha laughter erupted, Lin Liguo almost crooked his mouth in anger, but he couldn't see the person who squeezed him. There were all the unfamiliar faces of the Blood Ghost Hall all around, and he had no choice but to swallow the resentment into his stomach.
Not long after the banquet began, someone suddenly hurriedly pulled Qin Xiao out and whispered, "The fire in the backyard of Aotian Pavilion has started, and there have been suspicious people in the vicinity for the past few days. ”
Aotian Pavilion is Qin Xiao's arsenal, and it has always been strictly guarded. Qin Xiao glanced at the Pavilion Master of the Proud Heaven Pavilion, who was already facing ashes. The person who delivered the message took out a note: Xiao Peng is here.
Qin Shi exchanged glances with Xie Junhe and chased them out together. Jun He automatically asked: "It's the ears and eyes of the Feather Sword Sect again." I'll go and break them off. Qin Xiao didn't have time to refute, so he heard Qin Shi say: "Father go in quickly, the guests are still waiting, and we can't make everyone suspicious, so as not to confuse those people and cause trouble." ”
Qin Xiao listened to his son, so he drank and carnival with confidence, and got drunk with the guests. On the other side, as soon as the blood jade was raised, Jun He led a group of blood ghosts from his cronies out. As soon as I went, I saw Pegasus raising its hooves, heading straight for the Qinjia Wharf, and never looked back.
"Who?" said a swordsman at the docks.
"Aotian Pavilion has something to do, and it is pursued by Qin Ye's order. ”
"I haven't seen the boat leave on the river, please rest assured that Qin Ye. ”
"Do you know that they are all in the dark?" Jun He roared angrily and showed the prepared documents, "Didn't you see the firelight of the Aotian Pavilion just now? This is Qin Ye's order to send a ship out of the port, and if you miss something, my Blood Ghost Hall wants your head!"
Under the light of the torches, the large vermilion seal was clearly visible. The swordsmen have no reason to stand in the way. So the gate opened, and the bloodies rode by. In the distance, under the shade of grass and trees, there are three large ships, and the three people on board each lead more than 30 swordsmen, and they have been waiting for a long time. Xia Bo, who was the leader, had seen it in Feiyedu last time: "On the orders of Qin Dashao, I am at the helm for the Blood Ghost Hall Master." Junhe replied with blood jade.
Immediately, board the ship, lift anchor, pull the sails, and go offshore.
"Hall Master Xie, where are you going?" the blood ghosts of his cronies were confused.
"The white-clothed holy envoy must be cut off. He said it in no uncertain terms.
Along the river to the east, all the way unimpeded. Qin Xiao's people really didn't chase after him, presumably Qin Dashao coped with it well. The ship went on all night, one day, and then into the night. On the calm and silent river, suddenly far away on the opposite bank, a raging beacon fire was burning, burning all over every checkpoint of the entire long river. Somehow, the fire was brought forward by a day, and it was expected that there would be an emergency on the other side.
Hurry up! Junhe is in a hurry.
The three big ships lined up for a while, and suddenly heard Xia Bo reply: There is a fleet ahead to meet you! Jun He jumped onto the lookout in shock. I saw five large ships in front of me in a row, and the draft was very deep. Looking at the bow of the ship, I saw the lights flickering on and off, and counting them carefully, it was a code of three flashes and three longs. Jun He held up the oil lamp and replied with two flashes and one long signal.
"Own people. Come closer. ”
Immediately, the speed of the two fleets gradually slowed down, and Junhe's ship and the rear ship gradually got closer. Tian Qiao and Xue Hai stood side by side on the bow of the boat and waved their hands at him.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, so I don't want to go one day early, and I don't want to coincide. Tian Qiao asked him to rest assured, "Yunhe set off earlier and led the fleet directly to the Black Stone Cliff, expecting that this was already the time. ”
Junhe glanced at the sea of snow and sighed. This girl is no longer a fifteen-year-old doll. The figure of standing in the wind in men's clothes not only has the charm similar to that of red, but also has a bit of Leng Fengyi-like charm, and it is more natural and clear and dexterous. She must have known what to do, like a real swordsman.
Tian Qiao knew that he was worried, and said loudly: "I will protect her until the end." ”
Jun He responded: "I docked at the ferry in front of the Tiger Cliff. You pay attention to the front from the waterway. ”
Ahead, what's ahead? Xue Hai looked east when he heard this, puzzled. However, Xie Junhe's ship suddenly picked up speed and moved away into the night. Xue Hai saw that on the lookout, the black figure stood solemnly - this bearing was no longer the sloppy drunkard of the past, but it was strange.
The world is never predictable. On the smooth surface of the river, a faint wisp of smoke suddenly appeared, and then this smoke wrapped around and turned into a miasma of smoke, separating the ship from each other. "Get on the lights!" Junhe hurriedly ordered. Through the smoke miasma of lights, faint, although it is close, it is like watching the body around you turn into a soul, which is terrifying. Fortunately, with the lights as a letter, the fleet can go all the way in parallel.
"Foggy?" Xia Bo wondered, "The sky was clear just now, and the ghost weather will change?"
Xie Junhe smelled the unsettling breath in the smoke miasma. However, this is clearly on the long river of loneliness, and the wind is spreading wildly, how can he do this? He said uneasily: "I'm afraid that someone is making a ghost." Let's take precautions now!"
As soon as the words fell, a swordsman with less skill shouted dizziness and got out of the cabin. Immediately, several sailors salvaged the bamboo tubes floating on the surface of the water, and the only hole in the bamboo tube was a strange fragrance. Immediately afterwards, the phantoms of many ships appeared on all sides, forcing them from all directions, besieging the eight ships.
By the time the ship's helmsman found them, they were close at hand.
One after another, swordsmen became weak on their legs and could not stand steadily, and the blood ghosts, although they had experienced a hundred battles, also became unconscious. I'm afraid that if I don't react again, even people and boats will disappear silently in this long river. Isn't this what the white-clothed holy envoys are best at?
Immediately, Junhe said to Xia Bo: "Help me and open a road to the southwest." ”
"Easy. ”
The drum rumbles, the rush of the attack. Qin Shi's group of henchmen were all good at the water, and they were not stunned at all when they saw this scene, and without his too many orders, the speed of the ship had already increased dramatically, and the three ships in front of them immediately formed a cone with horns on each other, and rushed straight towards the weak point in the encirclement. The five ships of the third and the second also drifted along the water with the support of the first three and the second.
Violent collision and collision, but the speed of the ship did not decrease, and it forcibly tore a huge crack in the encirclement, and forced the attack on both sides to retreat with the force of the collision of the two ships behind. Seeing that the encirclement has merged into a counter-encirclement trend. The white-clothed envoys only dared to shout at the ship.
But the ships behind were not so lucky, and hooks and cables came in the air, pulling the hull from all directions, and the hull shook as if it would be torn apart at any moment. The ethereal white shadow forced the hook onto the ship, and the sound of fighting on the boat immediately boiled.
"Don't let the white-clothed holy envoy board the ship!" Jun He reminded anxiously from a distance. In an instant, the long sword came out, and the hook and rope broke. However, this could not resolve the crisis, and the ship of the white-clothed holy envoy finally got closer and closer, and in the murderous fog, there was a burst of crossbow strafing, making it impossible for people to hide. Immediately afterwards, the ship collided with each other, and Qi Tianqiao and the others were wrapped in the center, facing the strong enemy coming from all sides. The white-clothed holy envoys who were several times their size boarded the ship overwhelmingly, as if a huge meat grinder had been turned on.
Tian Qiao angrily took out his sword and went towards the white shadows, and the sea of snow also pulled out a double-strand sword, and was involved in a chaotic fight. From bow to stern, there is no safe place to stay. Seeing that the martial artists who came to help continued to fall one after another, the long river water flowed out of patches of red, and a little anger actually oozed from the blade of the sword in the snow sea, and the double swords swept over like lightning, wantonly slashing at the white shadow - it was all them, causing the entire rivers and lakes to be unpeaceful, it was all them, it was all them, it was all them, and it was all because my brother was busy again and again!
Suddenly, a white shadow with red eyebrows rushed up, and vigorously pushed away her sword blade is a stab.
"Oops!" Xue Hai fell back in shock, fortunately the sword blade passed by her face, but in an instant, the cold light turned around and swept towards her heart, she drilled under the sword blade with a low prostration, and quickly jumped away to a high place, and the sword light also chased her to a high place, and landed, and the sword light also followed her footsteps all the way forward.
She knew the name of the fire butterfly, and of course she knew that there was only a dead end to face to face with such a top master. But Firebutterfly actually showed an unusually surprised look, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes - he didn't seem to be in a hurry to take her life.
Tian Qiao wanted to be saved, but there were too many white-clothed holy envoys who were helpless, and he couldn't move the slightest step with all his might, so he could only watch the sea of snow being forced to flee all over the boat, and there was no way to go under the mast.
"Chu Xuehai?" the fire butterfly raised her eager eyebrows, and while chasing the snow sea and flying between the masts of several ships, she muttered, "God gave me a gift! They all said that you had returned to the south bank, and Fang Xi rushed to the Chu family to find you, how did you expect you to be here! Catch this girl for me!"
Led by him like this, the other white-clothed holy envoys also participated in the interception from between the masts.
Xue Hai panicked in his heart, and he had risen to the top with a flying step. The wind blew fiercely, and the mast swayed with the wind, as if it was about to fall her at any moment. Below, dense layers of sword shadows are waiting for an opportunity, like hunting dogs in predation: if anyone catches her, it must be a great achievement! Who will let go of the fat in his mouth?
