Chapter 425
"Oh, that's it!" Tang Yin nodded. When Feng State went to Ning State, the army of more than 200,000 was defeated miserably. In the end, not many people escaped. This battle also caused a lot of damage to Feng State's vitality. He sighed and said
: "My brother is loyal to the country and sacrifices his life for the country. He is a patriot of Feng Country in life and a hero of Feng Country in death."
Hearing Tang Yin's words, Zhao An was very moved. He said, "If you can say that, my eldest brother can still smile even under the Nine Springs."
Tang Yin chatted with Zhao An and walked forward, but he didn't feel bored at all. After walking for a long time, when Lotte, Ai Jia, and Cheng Jin were getting impatient, Zhao An stopped, turned around and smiled at Tang Yin: "
Sir, we’re here, right here!”
Everyone was refreshed and looked around. This place can be called desolate. In front of them is the Panshui River, and behind is the majestic mountains. There are dense trees, overgrown weeds, and piles of rocks on the ground. Not to mention there is no human habitation nearby.
There wasn't even a shadow of a ghost, it was just a deserted river bank.
Cheng Jin walked to the river and looked inside. He didn't see the bottom. He picked up a piece of gravel and threw it into the river. There was a muffled sound and the gravel sank to the bottom of the river instantly. Cheng Jin didn't know the river here.
Exactly how deep it is, but it shouldn't be a problem if it doesn't reach the top of anyone's head. He looked back at Zhao An and asked, "Is this the shoal you call?"
Zhao An laughed dryly and said: "The river water here only becomes shallow when the tide ebbs in August or September. It is only April now, and the river water is still very deep."
Tang Yin asked: "Where is the rope to the other side that you mentioned?"
"Here!" Zhao An walked to a huge stone, squatted down, first pushed away the weeds on the ground, then moved away a few stones, reached out and grabbed a two-finger-thick piece on the ground.
The rope was pulled up hard. With a clattering sound, the rope was completely pulled up from under the grass and gravel. One end was coiled around the bottom of the boulder, and the other end led straight into the river.
What this person said was indeed true! Tang Yin quickly stepped forward, lowered his head to take a closer look at the thick rope, then shook his head towards Cheng Jin and said, "Cheng Jin, try pulling it down!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Cheng Jin stepped forward quickly and took the rope. He first covered his spiritual armor with his hands, and then held the rope tightly with his palms like iron pliers. He used all his strength to pull back suddenly.
Hearing a snapping sound, the rope originally hidden in the river popped out of the river. Although only part of it was exposed, Cheng Jin could still feel that the other end of the rope was indeed fixed on the other side. To confirm that he was not wrong, he continued
Pulling back with all his strength several times, the rope was stretched so tightly that it was looming on the river. He could even vaguely see the shadow of the rope appearing on the river on the other side. He let out a sigh, and loosened the spiritual armor from both palms while pulling the rope away.
He put it down and nodded to Tang Yin, indicating that what Zhao An said was correct.
The smile on Tang Yin's face deepened, he looked at Zhao An and asked: "Zhao An, do you usually pull this rope to cross the river?"
"Yes, sir, with this rope, it is easy to swim to the other side. You don't have to worry about sinking to the bottom of the river, and you don't have to worry about being washed away by the river." Zhao An said with a smile.
Tang Yin covered his lower abdomen with one hand, slowly bent down, and while carefully examining the rope, he murmured: "Not bad, not bad, you are quite smart!"
"The villain just wants to save the money to cross the river and make the adults laugh..." Zhao An said with a dry smile while rubbing his rough hands.
Tang Yin smiled and said nothing, rolling his eyes around, thinking about whether it was possible for him to cross the river through this rope. He didn't know the nature of water and couldn't swim, but he felt that if he was not injured, he would be able to cross the river through this rope.
With this rope as an aid, there should be no problem in crossing the river. At best, it will only require a few mouthfuls of river water. If he can do it, then the soldiers under his command should also be able to do it. Thinking about it, he looked at Letian, Ai Jia, and Cheng Jin.
, asked: "Can you cross the river with this rope?"
Lotte and Ai Jia looked at each other and said in unison: "Okay."
Cheng Jin was more straightforward. He threw off his coat and said, "Sir, let me try!"
This was exactly what Tang Yin wanted. He nodded and said, "Cheng Jin, be careful."
"yes!"
Cheng Jin took off his clothes and shoes in a few times, wearing only his shorts, holding the rope with both hands, and walked quickly into the river. After a short time, he walked more than 20 meters, and by this time, the river water could cover his body.
The top of the head, but with the help of ropes, Cheng Jin did not sink, and only a small head was exposed on the river surface.
Tang Yin, Lotte, and Ai Jia were watching from the shore. As Cheng Jin went deeper and deeper into the river, their hearts gradually rose to their throats. In a short time, Cheng Jin had penetrated more than a hundred meters into the river, but he still did not sink.
Looking from a distance, there is only a small black spot floating on the river.
Seeing this, Tang Yin was basically relieved. Cheng Jin could enter the water for more than 100 meters without any problem, so it would be no problem to cross the river smoothly. This Zhao An really helped him a lot, and it seemed that God was also helping him.
While he was secretly excited, suddenly there was movement on the other side, and a Peng Army patrol consisting of ten people came over from the west.
The river is more than a hundred feet wide. From such a long distance, it is difficult for ordinary people to see clearly what is happening on the other side. But Tang Yin's eyesight is amazing, and the red armor on Peng Jun's body is extremely conspicuous. He spotted the enemy's figure immediately. Tang Yin
He secretly muttered something bad and said in a deep voice: "Oops, Peng Jun's patrol is here!" While speaking, he first lowered his body to pick up a piece of gravel, then grabbed Zhao An beside him and grabbed him to dodge.
Arriving behind the boulder not far away, although Lotte and Ai Jia did not see where the enemy was, they reacted quickly and immediately lay down on the ground, using the weeds on the ground to hide their traces.
Tang Yin saw the Peng Army patrol, but Cheng Jin, who was fighting in the middle of the river, didn't know it yet. At this time, he didn't dare to shout to remind him. Tang Yin stuck his head out and saw Cheng Jin's position.
, his wrist shook violently, and the stone he had just grasped in his palm flew out of his hand and flew straight towards Cheng Jin.
flutter!
The stone was not big, and it did not make much noise when it fell into the water. However, this piece of gravel was not lopsided and fell into the water just in front of Cheng Jin. The latter did not understand what was going on, so he instinctively turned around and headed towards the shore.
Tang Yin and others looked around. However, there was no one on the shore at this time. It was completely empty, as if Tang Yin and the others had disappeared out of thin air.
What's going on? Even if the adults want to leave, they can't leave me alone! Cheng Jin was just stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and quickly looked away, grabbed the rope, stretched his neck,
Looking towards the shore ahead, I happened to see the Peng Army patrol approaching.
Cheng Jin's head buzzed. If he was discovered, the rope that allowed him to cross the river would not be able to be saved. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, then sank down, and his whole body was submerged in the river.
middle.
The pace of this Peng Army patrol was not fast, as if they had worked hard all day. The soldiers' faces were full of fatigue. When they walked around, there was no one to talk to, and they were lifeless. They were on the shore.
I walked slowly, glancing towards the other side from time to time. If I found nothing unusual, I withdrew my gaze and continued to walk forward mechanically, patrolling.
They moved slowly, Tang Yin's heart was so anxious that it was about to burst into flames. Cheng Jin was holding his breath in the river. It might be fine for a minute or two, but if things go on for a long time, no one can bear it.
Time passed bit by bit, and the Pengjun patrol was still walking leisurely. It seemed to Tang Yin and others that a century had passed before the Pengjun patrol was far away. Tang Yin held on again.
A piece of gravel was thrown into the river with the same technique and force as before.
After waiting for a while, there was no response from the river, and Cheng Jin didn't show his head at all. When Tang Yin saw this, he screamed secretly, rushed out from behind the boulder, and rushed forward without even having time to take off his clothes, shoes and socks.
About to jump into the river, Letian and Ai Jia, who were lying on the ground, were startled. They both jumped up from the ground, grabbed Tang Yin by force, and said urgently: "Sir, it's dangerous..."
Now that Tang Yin has lost Jiang Mo, one of the pillars of Hidden Arrow, he can no longer lose another pillar, Cheng Jin. At this time, his whole heart is tied to Cheng Jin, and he doesn't care about so much anymore. He has nothing to say.
He said, pushing Lotte and Ai Jia away with all his strength, and wanted to continue jumping into the river. At this moment, he heard a splash from the river. Cheng Jin, who had been holding his breath in the river for five or six minutes, finally poked his head out, as if inside his body
As if the oxygen in his lungs had been dried up, he raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and sucked in air. The sound was so loud that it was like a bellows being pulled, and even Tang Yin and others on the shore could vaguely hear it.
Seeing that Cheng Jin was fine, Tang Yin's body froze for a moment, and then he burst into laughter with relief. His heart finally dropped in his throat. He took two steps back and slowly sat down on the ground, feeling a little relieved.
asthma.
Because an enemy patrol had just passed by, Cheng Jin did not dare to go deeper to the other side. He grabbed the rope and quickly retreated.
After he landed, Letian and Ai Jia immediately brought his clothes and pants forward and helped him put them on his body. Cheng Jin panted heavily as if he had just gone through a fierce battle and took a moment to calm down.
He walked up to Tang Yin and said with a grin: "Sir, it was so dangerous just now. I was almost discovered by Peng Jun's patrol team."
Ai Jia said from the side: "Just now, I saw you holding your breath in the river for a long time and didn't come out. I wanted to go into the water to save you. Fortunately, Letian and I stopped you."
Cheng Jin was stunned at first, and then he was filled with emotion. He cupped his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Sir..."
Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted him. Without mentioning the matter, he asked: "With the help of ropes, how does it feel after entering the water?"
