The water in the river was turbulent and the wind in the river became fierce.
Outside the cabin, another person seemed to have fallen into the water, struggling and roaring.
Wei Diao was holding the dagger, and his innocent smiling face suddenly became extremely ferocious. He raised his head, raised the dagger, and stabbed Li Zhiqiu's head.
Click.
Li Zhiqiu's face was expressionless, and he raised one hand to hold the stabbed dagger.
"Chief Commander, please die!" Wei Diao's face turned red, he took out another dagger and stabbed Li Zhiqiu in the chest.
"Nine years, nine years with me, Li Zhiqiu. What made you sell yourself?"
Li Zhiqiu turned his hand into a palm and hit Wei Diao on the abdomen. Wei Diao coughed up blood, his eyes bulged, and he flew backwards.
Bang, smashed several ship planks.
Li Zhiqiu stood up and flew out of the cabin with Qinggong. When he stopped, his Confucian face was full of sadness.
The more than a hundred knights accompanying them were divided into two groups. They kept fighting each other with swords. One after another, the white-clothed knights were stabbed in the chest and rolled into the rushing river.
"Chief Helmsman, Wei Diao's people have rebelled!" A middle-aged knight, whose face was covered with blood from the killing, only shouted, and then he was pierced through the skull by a long sword, blood oozing out from his face, and he fell down.
"The knights from thirty states gather for justice..." Li Zhiqiu looked up to the sky, his voice full of sorrow. The white robe in the wind looked extremely lonely.
"Chief helmsman, save me!"
One corpse after another kept rolling into the river.
Only the last dozen or so people were left, desperately retreating to stay by Li Zhiqiu's side. On the left and right sides of the merchant ship were the heroes who had followed Wei Diao in the rebellion. According to initial calculation, there were at least fifty or sixty people.
"Please die, chief helmsman!" Wei Diao, whose mouth was full of blood, swept out with his sword horizontally, raised his head and shouted angrily. Behind him, dozens of heroes who originally shared life and death, this time, they were sent to hell.
executioner.
Only then did Li Zhiqiu understand why Xiaoyao suddenly fell ill, and why Wei Diao Mao volunteered to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding him.
"Wei Diao, the chief rudder treated you well. If it weren't for the chief rudder, you would have starved to death! And you, Li Chu, you were a prisoner who was wanted to be executed after the fall, but the chief rudder brought you back.
, teach you martial arts!”
"Yang Sanqiu, you were cornered by the dog officers. In order to save you, the chief helmsman blocked a group of officers and soldiers alone. There are still wounds on your arms!"
"You guys, you guys are so rebellious and immoral!"
The voice of an old knight guarding Li Zhiqiu was full of anger.
"Cut your hair in gratitude!" Wei Diao looked crazy, cut off a long hair, and let the wind blow into the river.
Behind him, dozens of heroes also acted in the same way. Everyone's hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
"Chief rudder, the tea soup you made earlier was already poisoned——"
Li Zhiqiu roared angrily, his white clothes fluttered, and the long sword in his hand faintly clanked as he swept towards Wei Diao.
Wei Diao used his horizontal sword to block——
clang.
The long sword was shattered, and one of Wei Diao's arms, connected to the lower half of his shoulder, was cut off at once.
"What did Cangzhou give you? How dare you do this! Don't forget that you are a chivalrous man! How dare you do such disobedience when your duty is your duty!"
Li Zhiqiu staggered back, coughing and covered in blood. A clean white robe was stained with blood plums one after another.
"Chief Helmsman, I will protect you!" The old knight who had scolded him angrily ran towards Li Zhiqiu with his sword in hand.
"Chief Commander, we are still in the middle of the river, and I'm afraid the situation is critical——"
As the old knight spoke, his face suddenly became fierce, and he returned his sword and stabbed Li Zhiqiu's abdomen like lightning.
Li Zhiqiu roared angrily, and the hair crown on his head fell down, making his hair disheveled.
He raised his hand, ignoring the sword that pierced his abdomen, and struck down the old knight in front of him with one palm, causing his orifices to bleed. He staggered back a few steps and fell into the river.
"I'll wait and send the chief helmsman to his death!" Wei Diao, who was kneeling in a pool of blood, yelled crazily even though his arm was broken.
"Protect the chief helmsman!"
The last dozen or so loyal heroes, dressed in white to die, stood in front of Li Zhiqiu. One after another, they fell down.
Li Zhiqiu stood swaying on the ship's mast, his hair disheveled and his blood-stained robe whistling in the river wind.
He laughed loudly, his voice was both sad and extremely unwilling.
"The knights of thirty states gather for justice, the knights of thirty states gather for justice... We are waiting to overthrow the tyranny and restore peace to the world."
"This world has turned dark after all! The knight's white clothes cannot stop the darkness that fills the world!"
The river wind became stronger and stronger, causing the entire hull of the boat to sway.
The position in the middle of the river is probably dead end.
"Kill him, kill him quickly!" Wei Diao yelled in pain.
"Everyone has to stab with a sword, so we can count it as a gathering of friends!"
Countless white-clothed knights roared towards the ship's mast and swept away with Qinggong.
Li Zhiqiu took action coldly and swung his long sword. Three or four knights were slashed with bloody marks and fell down.
"Stop the ship!"
"Right here, surround him and kill him!"
"If anyone dares to take action, we will kill them all together!"
…
In the Cangzhou Imperial Palace, Yuan Anzai and several palace maidens were playing a blindfolded game of tag and had a lot of fun.
Su Waner was sitting on the dragon chair, reviewing the last memorial, then stopped, turned her head, and looked at the idiot-like emperor.
Some people hope that their husbands will become successful, but she is just a worm in raising her husband. The general trend is that an emperor who slowly becomes wiser is ultimately not good.
"Queen, why don't we come and play together." Yuan An tore off her veil and smiled happily.
"State affairs are important." Su Waner uttered in a deep voice.
"Could it be the war in Cangzhou? Queen, don't worry, we have a hundred thousand coalition troops in Cangzhou, and those damn heroes will definitely be defeated. However, that chief helmsman Li Zhiqiu seems to be an extraordinary person."
"He's going to die soon."
Yuan An was startled, "Queen, why is this?"
"A gathering of knights from thirty states? If there really are so many sages in this world, they would have followed Lord Yuan to defend the country of Daji. Not to mention other things, when they rejected Beidi, these so-called kings
Of the two kings, who has gone?"
"There is only one king of Yuzhou and a commoner thief. In the thirty states of the world, when trouble comes, all kinds of evil spirits will show their true forms."
There was an indescribable calmness on Su Waner's charming face.
"As soon as Li Zhiqiu dies, the war in Muyun Province will soon end. Your Majesty's empire will be more stable again."
Yuan An, who was nearby, laughed heartily.
"Look, I must be a wise king."
"When I capture Muyun Prefecture, I will have two prefectures. By then, the common thieves next door will probably be restless."
Su Waner smiled and said nothing.
It is this kind of appearance that a fool emperor conforms to the rules in troubled times. Naturally, throughout the history of the Central Plains, there have been many wise masters who have tried to turn the tide.
But such a wise lord and the idiot emperor in front of him will not be qualified for ten lifetimes. This chapter has been completed!
