The whistle only sounded for the first time. Song Huiyue took the scissors from Xie Zhou's hand, pointed it at Xiao Wei's heart, and inserted it hard.
Zhang Xutang must not let Zhang Xutang know about the absence of King Jin!
The remaining bluegrass juice on the scissors was instantly submerged in blood.
She felt that the scissors were blocked by the hard bone, and pressed down with all her strength. With a "pop" sound, the scissors went through. Xiao Wei's hand fell to the ground, and he was spread out on the ground, turning into mud.
"Sister Yue!"
Xie Zhou shouted loudly and rushed forward, wanting to investigate the situation of "Du Lan", but was shocked by the sight of Song Huiyue in front of him. His scalp was numb, and the Tianling Cap seemed to have been pried open by scissors.
In the house, the court lady was carrying a plate of steaming scallion pancakes. As soon as she walked to the door, she screamed in surprise at the sight in front of her. She dropped the plate in her hand and rolled the pancakes all over the floor.
The sky turned white, and the light gradually became brighter. She saw Song Huiyue's face and head were covered with blood, and her two eyes were as big and empty as if her soul had left her body. Her actions just now were not based on thought, but on her head.
A subconscious move.
"Sister Yue?" After Xie Zhou shouted loudly, he immediately pursed his mouth into a thin line and mumbled words from the line, "What happened?"
He was dizzy with the blood.
Song Huiyue looked at the oiran lady, then at Xie Zhou, and then at the little guard on the ground: "Can you play the Zhang family's bamboo whistle?"
Xie Zhou didn't say yes or no. His intelligence was already worse than Song Qinghui's, and his face was pale and he felt like vomiting.
Song Huiyue could only ask: "Then where did the prince go?"
Xie Zhou's voice floated out: "Ezhou."
In front of Nanjinguan Pass in Xiling Gorge, Ezhou, majestic peaks appear suddenly, cliffs are thousands of edges, dangerous shoals are spread out, the river splits the mountain, and the rapids are like boiling water.
Entering Nanjinguan, you enter the gate of Jinchu.
The two blessing boats were as majestic as mountains, floating on the waves, and piercing the river like swords. A huge red lantern was hung on the mast, and each word was illuminated.
Commander Jiang of the Ningyuan Army on Guangnan West Road stood on the deck, leading his men to look at the scenery.
On both sides of the river are cliffs carved with knives and axes, with overlapping rocks and waterfalls. Occasionally, ancient trees stand between the walls and flutter in the wind.
The three of them stared blankly for a long time before Commander Jiang became poetic and recited a nonsense poem.
"It is difficult to climb both sides of the strait, but the three ships are unobstructed, and the cries of the apes are not heard, just because of the majesty of the prime minister!"
Yu Dutou clapped his hands and praised his smelly feet.
Wang Dutou's flattery was more accurate: "Two sides of the Taiwan Strait versus three ships, it's really wonderful and neat!"
Although there is still a ship that is built out of thin air, writing poetry is just making it out of thin air. The more blind it is, the more profound its meaning is.
Commander Jiang laughed and said, "No prizes, no prizes, I just said it casually."
The sycophant of Wang Dutou had the upper hand, and he was very proud, and continued: "Comparing apes and monkeys to river thieves, I can't think of it even if I break my head."
Yu Dutou said quickly: "Exactly, the river thieves are just petty thieves. They are as unenlightened as the ape. How dare they intercept our ship?"
"Hahaha," Commander Jiang said with high spirits. He felt that he was a talented person with both civil and military skills, but unfortunately he was buried in the local garrison. "As soon as this word is posted, even the gods will not dare to move! Can't you see that the rain will stop?
, this is exactly how God is following the Zhang family’s trend.”
The three of them held each other's feet and were chatting here and there. Jiang's command room suddenly narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed hard: "Look, what is that?"
Both of them turned their heads when they heard the words and looked over.
There was a layer of mist on the river, and something was indeed looming in it.
Wang Dutou carefully identified it and said: "It looks like a fishing boat."
"Impossible, what kind of fishermen with such good water skills would dare to go to Nanjinguan to fish during the flood season? In my opinion, it may be the boat of the corpse recovery team. They have good water skills." Yu Dutou analyzed carefully.
"Then who should we catch?" Wang Dutou disagreed, "No one has passed, so who can we catch?"
"Fishing a big boat like ours... bah bah bah!"
These two Dutou positions were obtained by flattery, but Commander Jiang, apart from Shi Xing, did have some talents.
After he stopped reciting poems, his wise mind quickly returned, his gaze spread out, and he could see farther and more clearly than anyone else.
"Fishing boat? It's a river thief!" He looked serious, "I gave the order to move both the front and rear water tankers, and cross Nanjing Pass as quickly as possible to prepare to meet the enemy!"
The danger of Nanjinguan is that there are not many fishing boats in the flood season, but now the river is turbulent, but there is a whole row of fishing boats here, except for the river thieves, there is no one else to think about.
Their two boats were one behind the other, and they were quite restricted. The boat could not move, so they simply bumped into each other.
Jiang thief!
Both of them were shocked and started to give orders according to Commander Jiang's order.
Everyone on the boat immediately took action. The silver guards were all soldiers. After receiving the order, they moved the bow and stern waterwheels like flying and moved forward with all their strength.
Someone at the stern of the boat unfurled a red flag to signal the boat behind. The boat behind had a narrow field of vision. Everything was based on the actions of the boat ahead. When he saw the boat in front speeding away, he quickly followed up.
Commander Jiang asked everyone to surround the two-story cabin, holding a shield in one hand and a long sword in the other, ready to fight the enemy at any time.
The archers also stood on the bow of the ship with their bows and arrows ready.
As the boat got closer and closer, the situation on the row of fishing boats gradually became clearer. Sure enough, they were all river thieves wearing black clothes and holding sticks!
Commander Jiang shouted loudly: "Arrow!"
Arrows flew through the air like rain, making a "puff" sound, but other than that there was no other sound.
Commander Jiang noticed something was wrong and immediately raised his hand: "Stop!"
The bows and arrows stopped, and everyone looked forward. The boat was full of scarecrows, with noses and eyes pierced, so that the arrows stuck in them turned into hedgehogs.
Are you planning to borrow arrows?
When everyone was surprised, the big ship had already crashed into it.
With several loud "bang bang bang" sounds, these old fishing boats were knocked over like small fishes, and the scarecrows fell into the water with their arrows.
The water wheel stirred up white waves, scattering the floating scarecrows, and scattered dry straw everywhere.
"Jiang Zhi! What do these river thieves want to do!" Wang Dutou ran up with a long knife in his hand. There was still no blood on the long knife. "Do they really want to rob our ship?"
Speaking of this, he felt somewhat timid.
These river thieves are extremely rampant and kill without blinking an eye. They all have no worries and want money rather than life.
Although these people have also practiced, their ferocity is far less than that of the Jiang bandits.
Commander Jiang snorted coldly: "How dare they! Tell them that they will never come back!"
He has been here more than once or twice. Although the Jiang bandits are ferocious, they are also very scattered. Ezhou alone is divided into eight villages. Each village often fights for small profits and bloodshed, and nothing can be done.
It is simply impossible to rob them with just a small village.
Even if the two villages join forces, it will not be possible.
Wang Dutou felt a little relieved and asked again: "Why are these scarecrows placed here? It doesn't look like borrowing arrows?"
Commander Jiang didn't need to answer. The soldiers on the waterwheel shouted loudly to answer him.
"The waterwheel can't move anymore!"
"Straw stuck in the wheel!"
The waterwheel stopped and the boat stopped in place, unable to move.
