In the drizzle, the boat meandered rapidly down the river.
The Han River is as quiet as a ghost land, as if there is only this extremely lonely ship left in the world.
Xu Ziling, Liang Zhi, Luo Fang, and Wu Yan each held a three-foot-long pole. Whenever the boat was in danger of crashing into the shore, they would use all four poles to force the boat to move in a safe direction.
.
The other warriors were busy working together to swing the oars and control the sails under the loud call of Kou Zhong.
Shang Peng and Shang He also came to the deck to prepare for an early escape if the ship capsized.
Shang Xiuxun stood on the lookout on the ship and stared hard at Kou Zhong, who was busy steering the helm. He said angrily: "Aren't you bragging about your skill at steering the helm? What's the responsibility of me? Look! If it weren't for someone,
The boat responsible for rescuing this boat has been capsized ten times already.
Kou Zhongqian smiled and said: "Beautiful owner, I am used to running in the sea, so I haven't been able to get used to the nine twists and turns of the river!"
Shang Xiuxun looked ahead at a sharp bend and was coming towards him.
Kou Zhong shouted repeatedly and the sailboat turned the corner and turned into the straight river without any danger, just like the moving feeling of embarking on a smooth and smooth road after passing through a long and rugged mountain road.
The river section in front of me suddenly opened up and the sky was filled with drizzle.
After wiping their sweat, everyone cheered in unison. Even Shang Peng and Shang He rarely showed happy faces of relief. Kou Zhong sighed: After finally completing the army, no matter the vast oceans or rivers, they will never be able to trouble me again. Shang Xiuxun is still there
She turned her back to him and faced the wind and rain and said calmly: What did you call me to do just now?
Kou Zhong thought about it in astonishment before he realized: Ah! That's your nickname, Beauty's Field Master. Although the title is long, it is both smooth and appropriate!
Shang Xiuxun whispered: Do you think I am beautiful?
Kou Zhong was shocked and said: Master, don't you know that you are as beautiful as a fairy but in fact, you are the most beautiful person in the world?
Shang Xiuxun shrugged and said: Has anyone come to tell me?
Kou Zhongci felt her loneliness.
Her situation at the ranch is similar to Yang Guang's situation in the old Sui Dynasty. No one dared to tell the truth to him.
Even though she was defeated, she still thought that she was comparable to the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. However, Shang Xiuxun did not know her beauty. Of course, the people in the ranch could only comment on her secretly but did not dare to say it openly.
Shang Xiuxun shyly asked for advice: What is my beauty?
Kou Zhong sighed and said: Your beauty is perfect. Ling and I love to see your delicate posture when eating, whether you bite lightly or chew hard, it is so intoxicating.
Shang Xiuxun turned her body around and said happily: You are so nice, just like the shortbread you make is so delicious. This was the first time Kou Zhong saw her look like this and he couldn't say a word.
Shang Xiuxun suddenly returned to his usual indifference and said calmly: "We can reach Jingling in a while. What if the enemy blocks the river with iron ropes? What should we do?"
For the first time, Kou Zhong felt Shang Xiuxun's trust and reliance on him; he even realized that the distance between the two had become much closer. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
In terms of beauty, Shang Xiuxun is undoubtedly better than Li Xiuning, but why can't she touch his heartstrings like Li Xiuning?
It was undeniable that this beautiful owner had a huge attraction for him, but it was not so strong that he could throw himself into it without hesitation and forget about everything to pursue her and get her.
He would adjust the distance between himself and her with a kind of balance of interests, not wanting to destroy the delicate relationship between him and Song Yuzhi because of her.
Shang Xiuxun said impatiently: What are you thinking about?
Kou Zhong suddenly woke up and met her with a beautiful face and expectant eyes. He suddenly said with pride: If I, Kou Zhong, come out to fight for world hegemony, can the owner sell me war horse equipment?
Shang Xiuxun frowned without thinking: Of course I want to help you! But how can you buy a horse with me if you are so poor? Even if I am the owner of the farm, I must abide by the family laws of my ancestors and cannot engage in loss-making business, let alone get involved in the world.
Let the strife go.
Kou Zhong said solemnly: "Can the owner of Beauty Farm suspend all transactions and give me three months so that I can bring enough gold to see you?"
Shang Xiuxun said angrily: You and I are destined to leave Jingling!
Kou Zhong was overjoyed when he saw that she did not reject her outright.
At this time, Shang Xiuxun turned away and found Zheng and Luo Fang on the deck. As Liang Zhi spoke, Xu Ziling's tall and handsome back made Fang Xin feel like he had done something wrong.
※※※
The sail kept increasing and rushing downstream.
In the steady rain, two warships lined up side by side in the waterway ahead, guarding behind an iron cable crossing the river.
The man at the helm has been replaced by Xu Ziling and Kou Zhongze, who are proud of their dominance.
Shang Xiuxun and others were scattered on the deck behind him. Everyone was holding a big bow and powerful arrows. Their heads were wrapped with oilcloth, which could be inserted into the cloth at any time and burned in the stove in all directions to turn into rockets.
Shang Xiuxun was closest to Kou Zhong and said: Are you really sure?
Kou Zhong was looking at the enemies on the enemy ship who were hurriedly reacting and moving due to their sudden arrival. Hearing this, he turned around and showed a smile full of confidence, patted Jing Zhongyue on the back and said: Don't forget that this is a psychic magic sword. This one is guaranteed to protect you.
No one thought that even if they saw it with their own eyes, they would not believe their eyes.
After a pause, he laughed again and said: Look, they haven't even raised the sails yet. It would be interesting if we break through the blockade and reach Jingling so that they can't even touch their tails.
Liang Zhi said worriedly: So what if you can't cut through the iron rope?
Kou Zhong shook his head and said: No! I can definitely cut off the iron rope.
At this time, we were only about seven feet away from the iron cable blocking the river, and within a blink of an eye, we could clearly see the situation on the two enemy ships more than twenty feet away.
The Jianghuai troops on the two ships all entered the fighting position, and the Jinjian stone machines were all ready.
But this is not what everyone cares about.
Looking at the iron rope as thick as a human arm, everyone felt numb, imagining the terrible consequences of the boat hitting the iron rope after Kou Zhong missed it.
Kou Zhong was the only one who remained calm and as if he never thought of the possibility of missing.
Four feet, three feet...
Kou Zhong's clothes made a hunting sound automatically in the absence of wind.
An invisible vortex of energy rolled around him.
Xu Ziling, who was standing at the lookout and steering the helm, stared at Kou Zhong, who was standing proudly on the boat like a god descending from heaven, with shining eyes, and his heart was filled with overwhelming pride.
This iron rope may represent a crucial step in Kou Zhong's struggle for world supremacy.
As long as we can break through the blockade and sail to Jingling, it will definitely boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city.
He also vaguely felt that if Kou Zhong could accomplish this feat, he would be able to win over everyone at Pegasus Ranch to support Kou Zhong's plan to dominate the world.
This sword can only succeed but cannot be missed.
Not only does it show his astonishing strength, but most importantly it proves his accurate judgment of himself.
The enemy ship began to raise its sails.
Three feet!
Kou Zhong shouted wildly and jumped into the sky towards the iron rope.
This unexpected move shocked even the enemy. Everyone stared in silence and forgot about throwing stones and arrows.
Shang Xiuxun bit his silver teeth and shouted: "Fire!"
Koo Zhong crossed the void, carried the moon in the well on his back, and came out from its sheath, turning into a sharp light and slashing down the iron rope below.
At this moment, Kou Zhong seemed to be a completely different person than usual.
when!
Both the enemy and the enemy looked down at the yellow light formed by the moon in the well, hitting the iron rope like a bolt of lightning.
The iron cable, which was as thick as an arm, seemed completely unaffected by the knife's blow, and suddenly broke apart and fell into the river.
Shang Xiuxun scolded: "Fire the arrow!"
The rockets soared into the sky, lit up the river, and rained down on the two enemy ships.
Everyone at Pegasus Ranch is greatly boosted in morale and full of fighting spirit.
The boat rushed through the place where the iron cable blocked the river and headed downstream as fast as a galloping horse.
When the rocket approached, the enemy just woke up from a dream and shouted to fight back.
Kou Zhong tumbled in the air and fell back to the original position on the bow of the ship where he had just stood, looking scornful of the world.
The knife is sheathed.
At this moment, two huge boulders fell from the sky.
Kou Zhong laughed and jumped up like a leopard, using his remaining power to face the boulder with his fists.
Bang! Bang!
The stones shattered into powder and scattered on the river.
Kou Zhong was also knocked back to the deck by the force of the counter-shock, and fell right next to where Shang Xiuxunfang was standing.
Shang Xiuxun saw his fist full of blood and said in shock: Are you okay?
Kou Zhong couldn't get up anymore and looked completely exhausted, but he still laughed and said: So happy! So happy!
boom!
The ship's hull shook violently.
No one could stop it before the next boulder hit the left rudder deck, causing wood chips to fly across the deck and break.
The boat turned sideways and regained its balance.
Xu Ziling shouted: Brothers, we have passed the test!
Everyone cheered in unison.
Looking back, I saw that the two enemy ships were on fire. Don't chase them. You can't even take care of yourself.
