As darkness fell, lanterns lit up on the river, and the ships rose and fell under the light. Accompanied by the sparkling waves, the silence was unusual...
Not far behind more than ten large ships, a small boat followed slowly, hiding in the darkness. On top of the small boat, more than ten figures stood quietly.
"Wow!"
A man in black clothes emerged from the water. Two of the more than ten men in black clothes came forward and pulled the man into the boat. After the man in the water came ashore, he took off his soaked clothes and threw them on the boat.
on board.
"Leader." Bypassing the crowd, the man in black came to the front man in black and clasped his fists.
"Hmm." The man called the leader said softly without looking back.
Seeing that the person in front of him was not angry, the man in black breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The more than ten large ships are all heavily guarded. I have gone up to see them all. There is nothing on the seven large ships behind. They all seem to be for transportation."
Horses and food. Things were a little strange on the first three ships."
"Oh, what's weird?" The man in black turned around and could vaguely see the stern face of the man in black through the light reflected on the river in front of him. He had some beard under his chin. He was in his forties and had a pair of
His eyes were unusually calm and not cold at all.
Seeing the man in black turn around, the man in black behind him hurriedly bowed slightly and said: "The reason why the first three big ships are weird is because these three big ships are really very different. The first big ship is extremely luxurious, with gold
There is a dazzling array of jade and jade, and there is almost gold everywhere. But there is nothing on the second big ship. Just like the seven big ships behind, there is no decoration. The third big ship is just the opposite. The upper deck of the big ship is full of
It's dusty and muddy, and the rooms in the cabin are shabby and unfit for human habitation."
"This is quite novel. I'm afraid Liu Qi already knew that we were coming. Today, Song Zhong just boarded the ship, and Liu Qi made arrangements. Haha, I'm really afraid of death." The corners of the mouth of the man called the leader were slightly raised, and his voice
Like a night owl.
"What the leader said is that the Black Guards have not been deployed for several years, but their reputation is still there. This Liu Qi is probably frightened. I think he is probably hiding on the third ship like a beggar..." Hei Yi
Just as the man was about to continue, he saw the leader in black glance sideways at him, and the man in black immediately shut his mouth.
The leader in black stopped the man in black from continuing to speak. He was silent for a while and said to the more than ten people on the boat: "On top of the first three ships, three people from each ship will go on board to look for opportunities to assassinate Liu Qi. If Liu Qi is not seen, we will do so."
Chaos, set fire to the ship. Take one person from each of the remaining seven ships. You don’t need to assassinate, just set the ship on fire." After saying that, he waved his hands and asked everyone on the ship to leave.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
…………
More than ten people immediately jumped into the water, leaving only three people on the boat, including the leader in black.
The man in black looked at the leader in black and hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't the leader disperse his strength by doing this?"
The leader in black had closed his eyes slightly since everyone left, as if counting the time. When he heard the man in black's question, he raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the man in black.
The man in black immediately fell silent, with some sweat appearing on his forehead. He secretly cursed himself for seeking death. The leader in front of him was famous for his bad temper and cruel methods. Those who offended him would not have a good end.
The leader in black seemed to be quite satisfied with the man in black in front of him. He turned around and looked at the large ship not far away and said: "We don't have many people with us this time. The possibility of succeeding in assassinating Liu Qi is very small. We can't
I never thought about a successful assassination. Letting the enemy die in fear is always the best punishment."
"Goodbye, chief." The man in black said hurriedly. After saying that, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and felt relieved.
More than ten men in black sneaked close to the big ship from the water. They divided into ten groups on the road and swam to different ships. These men in black dived under the ship and climbed along the bottom of the ship to the side of the ship.
So close to the hull, the breeze above the river blew, and soon the clothes of the man in black were dried, and then the man in black climbed up along the hull.
The man in black moved quickly and without making any sound, and the soldiers guarding the deck did not notice anything unusual at all.
On the deck of the first large ship, Wei Yan stood on the bow in full dress, followed by more than ten Flying Tiger Guards. At this time, Wei Yan pretended to be looking at the river surface as if nothing had happened, but he was extremely nervous in his heart and clenched his fists.
The left hand holding the sword hilt was already a little numb from the exertion.
Because it is difficult for assassins to hide their tracks on the river during the day, so the assassins are most likely to come to assassinate at night. Wei Yan chose to stand on the deck to attract the assassins at this time, which is undoubtedly an extremely risky move. You must know that the assassins will not
Come in an honest manner. There is no specific time for the assassin to assassinate you. Maybe you will come to assassinate you at this moment if you are negligent.
Although it was dangerous, Wei Yan did not return to the cabin. Although Liu Qi had accepted him, he was far inferior to Wang Yi and Gan Ning. Although the Flying Tiger Guards and Jinfan Thieves were extremely respectful to him, they were not convinced.
, their respect for him was because they believed in Liu Qi, not in him.
Just like Gan Ning and Wang Yi, no matter who they are, no matter where they go, the soldiers on the ship are extremely convinced of them. Every time he thinks of this, Wei Yan feels a little unwilling. He is not jealous of Gan Ning, but feels that he cannot
It was embarrassing for Liu Qi, so he pretended to be Liu Qi to attract the assassins. Sure enough, the soldiers around him looked at him with more admiration.
Everyone knows that pretending to be Liu Qi and attracting assassins will definitely lead to a narrow escape. Except for Wei Yan's two other soldiers pretending to be Liu Qi, Gan Ning and others have promised on Liu Qi's behalf that if they die in battle, his family will be properly settled.
Finding the best teachers for their children will make their families worry-free throughout their lives, which is exactly what they dream of.
call!
"It seems that the assassin will not come today." Wei Changchang breathed a sigh of relief, flexed his stiff wrist, released the hilt of the sword with his left hand, stretched for a long time, and prepared to turn around and go back to the cabin to rest.
Suddenly, Wei Yan saw a bright light flash through his peripheral vision. Wei Yan was shocked. He didn't have time to draw his sword or even react. Wei Yan suddenly took a step to the side.
There was a stabbing sound, and the brocade robe on Wei Yan's body had been cut. His arm felt cold, followed by severe pain, and the bright red blood instantly soaked that piece of clothing.
Wei Yan turned his head and looked to the side, only to see a man in black, covered in black clothes, standing where he was just now. The man in black was holding a short sword. Wei Yan could also see the residue on the tip of the sword through the light on the ship.
Bloodstains.
Wei Yan was horrified, his whole back was soaked with cold sweat. If he hadn't accidentally seen the reflection of the dagger and subconsciously avoided it, the man in black's dagger would have pierced his heart.
