The internal strife occurred too quickly, and the archers who were ready to go on both sides did not know how to deal with it. Many people turned back to look at Xiang Fei. Xiang Fei stood above the giant rock expressionlessly, his eyes flashed by those who were staggering on the boat, those who were fluttering in the water, and finally concentrated on a woman who was being protected by the guards.
"Brother, look..." a confidant beside him said anxiously.
"Look, the Jin people have this kind of virtue. The more critical the moment, the more internal conflicts are endless." Xiang Fei wrapped his hands in front of his chest and sneered repeatedly: "Go and pull the boat over with two brothers. Others are careful, but don't act rashly!"
We have already gained the advantage, and the people on the boat will never have the chance to escape. Next, just try to capture the Prince of Jingling on the boat as much as possible, and don’t let the delicate little girl suffer any damage.
This time no guard tried to cut off the hook rope that was hanging onto the boat gang. Several big men exerted force and dragged the boat to the shore, stranded it on the river beach with a "bang".
The swordsmen under Xiang Fei's troops approached the boat under the cover of archers. They stood in the knee-length river and surrounded the boat on three sides. More than ten swordsmen under their subordinates went into the water to swim here.
There were fewer passengers on the boat than just now. Two guards fell on the bow of the boat, and many arrows were deeply stuck on them. The blood from the wound flowed far away along the river. The rest of the unmoved guards carefully blocked a woman behind her, staring at the swordsman step by step like a big enemy.
Wang De covered himself with the side of the hull, and only showed half of his head and asked sternly: "Xiang, what are you doing?" His shoulders and back were shot at the first and second waves of arrows when the rain of the first and second waves fell. With his shouting, the two arrow feathers swayed above the gang, which seemed a bit funny.
What are you going to do? How stupid is this question! These imperial officials always do this. Xiang Fei looked at Wang De mockingly and began to think about what to do next.
What I caught today was a real county lord. Such contributions must be enough to bring fame and fortune to myself. Maybe I can become a governor? Maybe it’s not bad to be a general, and it’s easier to do things with troops. If I make more contributions to the battlefield in the future, I can be a marquis. Marquis Xiang Fei! Haha! Haha!
Xiang Fei thought happily and looked carefully at the county lord who was hidden behind the guards. The county lord seemed to be scared and curled up into a ball of trembling. Her long hair was dispersed, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but her figure was really slim. Hehe, maybe... it seemed... before handing her over to the Huns, she could... Xiang Fei suddenly felt hot all over. He couldn't help licking his lips, jumped off the giant rock, and strode forward.
With his pace, all the bandits approached at the same time, and the situation became increasingly serious.
*******
Xiang Fei's subordinates had already surrounded the boat and the passengers on the boat. At this time, no one paid attention to other places.
The riverbed, about a hundred steps wide, is covered with gravels of large and small sizes. The size of fists, the round pebbles are brought down from the upstream by the river. As big as a carriage, the rugged rocks are cracked from the cliffs on both sides of the river. The river water roars in a wanton way among the rocks, and roars through the dangerous shoals with strange terrain, forming many water and silt on both sides of the river.
A large splash of water suddenly surged in a certain pool, and two people emerged.
One of them was Lu Yao. He paddled with one hand, pushed his upper body out of the water, and looked around.
This deep pool is connected to the river channel below the waterline. There are huge rocks around the waterline, and only a gap is leaked on the south side. The gap is covered with vines and is very hidden. The sound of shouting upstream is here, and it is faintly visible against the background of the turbulent and rapid water.
There were many stones piled up at the edge of the pool. Lu Yao climbed the stones and sent a woman holding her right hand to Tanbian, then headed to the other side and sat down with a breath. Diving with someone who could not swim skills was indeed a difficult task as legendary. However, dozens of feet of water had exhausted his body and his long-term breathing made his lungs feel like a burning pain.
The one who was taken out of the water by Lu Yao was the Lord of Jingling County.
Just now, Lu Yao started an attack on the boat and fought with Wang De. In fact, he took this time to make some arrangements. The two pretended to be internal strife, deliberately causing chaos, and several people were injured and fell into the water.
The Lord of Jingling was one of the people who fell into the water. In order to climb down the mountain from Funiu Village, she changed into simple and neat clothes, which was no different from the guards from a distance. As soon as she entered the water, Lu Yao, who was proficient in water, took her to the bottom of the river to escape. The rest of the people pretended to be the Lord of the County and were still on the boat, and they were silenced and sneered with the thieves and moved with the camera. If it were normal, Wang De would never entrust the safety of the Lord of the County to others. However, in this danger, there would be no second way to go except to believe Lu Yao.
Perhaps because of choking, the county lord Jingling coughed a few times from time to time. But she covered her mouth hard and tried her best to suppress it without making too loud noises. She gasped slightly, her chest was undulating, and as the wet clothes were close to her body, the beautiful curves of thin waist and long legs were highlighted. The black hair at the waist was stuck to her cheeks, neck and other white skin. Although she seemed panic, she felt even more thrilling.
Lu Yao had only seen the heroic men's clothing of the Lord of Jingling County, and he was stunned at first glance. Fortunately, he still remembered that it was not suitable for viewing the beauty at this time, so he just glanced a little and moved his eyes away.
"You... are bold!" The Lord of Jingling County rebuked, and then he didn't know what to say.
She instinctively felt that Lu Yao was not afraid of her identity and status, but just treated her as a woman who met by chance and was kind to him. I don’t know what thought she had turned on, and her face turned red. After a while, even her neck showed a crimson. She lowered her head deeply, hugged her knees, and curled her body smaller.
Lu Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying apologetically: "County Lord, everything is urgent and obeyed. Don't blame me for offending."
This section of the river is not deep and will only be over. However, due to the changing landform of the riverbed made of gravel, the hydrological conditions are very complex. Under the seemingly calm water surface, there are unimaginable rapids and vortexes, which makes diving quite difficult.
The more serious problem is that the water quality of the county lord Jingling is really poor, and he struggles hard after entering the water. The county lord is still a little fist and martial arts, which is very comparable to an extremely weak woman. Lu Yao took great effort to control her. The various embarrassments in the meantime are not worthy of being told by outsiders... Lu Yao touched the bloody wounds on his lips and sighed. Fortunately, Wang De and other guards were very thoughtful, but not water quality, and did not understand the key points. Otherwise, I was afraid that the masters under the throne of the East China Sea would be mobilized to chase him in the future?
After a while of gasping, Lu Yao stood up and did a few pulling movements. Several huge wounds in front of him and behind him stretched and twisted. These wounds had already scabbed, but they were all torn apart at this moment, and the blood dyed the robe red. Especially the wound under the right elbow, there were faint white bones in the deepest part. Due to excessive blood loss and the soaking of river water, the nearby muscles were grayish white, which looked very terrifying.
The Lord of Jingling could not help but shrink back again.
The pool was surrounded by huge rocks and the light was dim, so Lu Yao didn't notice the expression of the county lord Jingling. He was delighted to find that his physical strength was recovering quickly, and the impact of the broken wound on his body function was not as serious as his appearance. What's ridiculous is that thanks to the long-term torture of patients in his previous life, his pain threshold was quite high, and the pain caused by these trauma was far below the limit. Lu Yao nodded with satisfaction, turned around and went into the water again.
The Lord of Jingling County asked hurriedly: "Where are you going?"
Lu Yao was stunned and explained: "I had agreed with Wang De before that he would be responsible for dealing with the enemy and buying time for the county lord. Since the county lord has arrived at a safe and hidden place, I have to rush back to help, as there may be changes."
"You mean, Wang De and the others have not escaped yet?"
"The county lord doesn't need to worry too much. Wang Wei and others are very skilled, and my companions Xue Tong and He Yun are also very brave. As long as the county lord is safe and sound, they can let go and may not be afraid of the thieves." Lu Yao comforted her casually: "The county lord is here to wait with peace of mind, be careful not to make any noise. If there is anything ahead, we will come to find you."
The face of the county lord Jingling changed slightly, and he stuttered after a while.
Lu Yao was busy tearing off a piece of cloth and tied up the wound on his right arm, but he didn't hear it clearly for a while. He smiled apologetically and asked, "The county lord is saying..."
The lord of Jingling County wanted to speak but stopped. After a while, she repeated softly: "You don't have to go."
Lu Yao continued to deal with his wounds without raising his head: "What's the county lord who has any advice?"
"You shouldn't go back." The county lord of Jingling emphasized his tone: "This group of thieves came prepared, with a large number of people and excellent equipment. Wang De and the others are not opponents, and even if you add you, the result will not be different... If you all die in battle, my safety cannot be guaranteed."
Lu Yao stopped what he was doing: "What does the county magistrate want, why not speak out?"
"In the north, Fushui is not something that everyone knows. At least those thieves are not good at this. It is even more rare for those who are so proficient in swimming skills like you. In this case, taking advantage of their chance to be restrained by Wang De and others, you and I just went down the river. I just noticed that the river water was turning sharply not far east, and getting there was enough to avoid the thieves' sight. Then you just need to go deep into the jungle... In this endless mountain forest, Xiang Fei would never be able to find us."
Lu Yao glanced at the corner of his mouth and subconsciously pressed the left palm bone with his right hand. He exerted so hard that the left palm bone flicked and made a "grand" sound. He looked at the Lord of Jingling: "What should you do with those guards and maids?" He asked again: "What should I do with my two brothers?"
Under Lu Yao's gaze, the face of the county lord Jingling was a little pale, but she continued confidently: "Wang De and others are rare subordinates. If it were not forbidden to do so, I would not give up them. After returning to Luoyang, I would give much tribute to their family. As for General Lu's subordinates..." She pursed her lips and smiled, and slowly said: "My father has no power in Luoyang, and he also likes to promote young and promising talents. With your talents, you can obtain appropriate positions in the imperial guards. After holding military power, you will have many opportunities to avenge the brothers in the robe..."
Before she could finish her words, Lu Yao suddenly turned over and entered the water, and his tall body flashed in the depths of the pool.
The main body of Jingling County stared at the deep pool for a while, and suddenly grabbed a stone and threw it hard towards the water.
Chapter completed!
