The dense sound of breaking through the air was like rain hitting banana trees, dense and endless.
The rocks, the Yellow River, and the moored bows were all covered with arrows.
Yan Yun used the wooden shield as cover, hunched his head and shoulders, and rolled like a windmill among the rocks, trying to minimize his target.
Just when he was about to reach the water, a stream arrow penetrated the wooden shield, causing pain in his wrist and blood overflowing.
The young woman followed Yan Yun's advice and did not get on the boat. Although arrows were raining down all around, she was actually in danger because there were boats blocking her and she was underwater.
Such a difficult situation also inspired her little courage, and she cut the cable with a dagger.
Without any support, the boat suddenly slid downwards along the current. In a hurry, she grabbed one end of the cable and was dragged downstream.
But she didn't know the nature of water. After taking two sips of cold river water, her whole body was in a state of instinctive paralysis. Her hands were weak and she let go of the cable.
Just when she was about to be submerged by the torrential water, a strong hand grabbed her wrist and lifted her up, causing her to escape death while breathing heavily and coughing violently.
When her mind regained some clarity, she found herself in a broad embrace, giving her an infinite sense of security.
She blushed, lowered her head, and clasped Yan Yun's arms tightly.
Yan Yun joined the army at the age of sixteen, and is only eighteen years old now. Before that, he had only had relatively close contact with Di You, but he had not gone beyond the rules, but he had never experienced anything like today. In addition, this young woman was plump and covered in body parts.
His softness, especially the bulging bulge on his chest, was extremely proud. For a moment, his blood surged and his heart swayed.
But now was not the time for daydreams. He calmed down and his eyes drifted towards the Qiang soldiers on the shore.
At this time, a group of Qiang soldiers, driven by the centurion, were rushing toward the river, and the archers once again bent their bows and nocked arrows, getting ready to fire.
"Be careful!" Yan Yun took out a straw from his arms and stuffed it into the young woman's mouth. He also held one in his mouth and both of them sank underwater, leaving only the straw outside to breathe.
The boat took advantage of the current, and even though it was not far from the shore, it still moved down very quickly.
When Yan Yun poked his head out of the water, he looked around and saw that the boat was already on the cliff by the river, and the Qiang soldiers had forgotten it and were yelling angrily.
"Get aboard! Chase them!" The centurion was stunned by Yan Yun's anger. Even though he didn't know the nature of water, he still wanted to catch up and kill him.
This cliff was an excellent escape location. How could Yan Yun miss it? With his left arm, he grabbed the young woman's hips and pushed her into the cabin. Then he jumped into the boat and grabbed the oar at the stern.
Yan Yun was good at fighting and knew a little bit about the nature of water, but he was not qualified to operate an oar. Fortunately, the boat could still go down automatically without using any force. When he exerted force, the boat would slowly circle in place.
On the water twenty feet away behind Yan Yun's boat, the centurion's boat was also spinning randomly and at an unusually fast speed.
As a result, everyone on the boat became dizzy and vomited repeatedly. Finally, the bottom of the boat turned upside down and they were thrown into the water.
There were no pursuers, but Yan Yun was worried. Once the boat drifted over this cliff, they would be in front of the water fortress set up by the Qiang people on the shore. It was a very dangerous situation.
"Let me paddle..." The young woman bowed and stood in the cabin, but she was very stable. In a few steps, she came to Yan Yun. Seeing that Yan Yun didn't let go, she added, "Although I am not familiar with water, I
, I am barely competent at boating."
"That's fine!"
This young woman was indeed much better at boating than Yan Yun. She shook the oars and the boat stopped spinning. Although she had some trouble with her accuracy at first, she quickly adapted to it. The bow of the boat tilted upstream, against the current.
Slowly float towards the other shore.
But the young woman's strength was too weak, so it was difficult for her to contend with the rapids. Although she stabilized the boat, she was unable to speed up. If things continued like this, she might even be pushed back to the shore by the rapids.
"Can I help?" Yan Yun asked.
"There are two oars in the cabin. The young master only takes one and paddles it on the right side of the hull. Don't worry about the others!" said the young woman.
Yan Yun was not stupid. He discovered the key after a few rows of oars. The bow of the boat should not be tilted too far upstream. It could only be kept slightly to the left of the forward direction to ensure the maximum speed of the boat.
Before you know it, the boat has reached the middle of the river, where the water and sky are aligned, and the moonlight forms shadows, as if you are boating in the sky.
The water flow in the middle of the river was much gentler, and the light was unusually bright. The young woman suddenly said: "Master, is he injured?"
"It doesn't matter, we'll talk about it after we get ashore."
"Then let's work harder."
"good!"
"We" was spoken smoothly, and the answer was very simple. The young woman didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned red again, but Yan Yun, who had her back turned, didn't see it.
A moment later, the boat was approaching the shore at the border of Dayu, but they saw that the water village was brightly lit and well-defended, and there was a chill in the iron clothes under the moon.
"Who's on the boat?" a sailor shouted from the dock sticking out of the water.
Behind the sailor, there was a group of Dayu sergeants who bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the ship.
"I am Zoe, the daughter of the Prime Minister of Taiping County..." the young woman shouted.
"I'm Yuantai, Miss Zuo's escort!" Yan Yun shouted immediately.
The father and son of the Yan family were guarding Longtou Pass, hoping that Dayu would not come to help, which was tantamount to forcing them to death. Yan Yun would not be able to reveal his true identity until he found out what was hidden.
Zoe seemed to have difficulty understanding why Yan Yun said such a thing. She was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red and she looked at his broad back with a pair of watery phoenix eyes.
The sailor asked again: "How did you two get here?"
Yan Yun said: "He was killed. There were more than ten people who crossed the river, but they are all gone."
The sailor seemed worried about the tall and powerful Yan Yun, and asked again: "Why are you wearing a Qiang uniform?"
Yan Yun threw the scimitar towards the dock, which was equivalent to automatically disarming him, and said calmly: "Kill the Qiang people and take their clothes so that they can cross the river!"
Behind the archers, a famous captain of ten men said to the soldiers: "Go and check to see if there are county officials from Taiping County leading civilians to support the border."
Zoe didn't feel cold while rowing, but after stopping for a while, her wet clothes were like ice sticking to her body, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Yan Yun said dissatisfied: "Can you let me go up first?"
The tenth captain said: "Wait first!"
Yan Yun had no choice but to ask again: "Can you let Miss Zuo go up and find a shelter from the wind first, while the next person waits here?"
"Yes!" said Shifu.
With the support of Yan Yun, Zoe quickly landed on the shore, holding herself in the water, and walked towards the village building in the pier. Before leaving, she did not forget to whisper "Be patient".
Yan Yun did not expect that he had to wait for half an hour. It was only when the Qiang's leather clothes were frozen and hardened, and his whole body was almost numb, that Shi Shiran, a civil servant who looked like a county official, came over.
The man looked up at the sky, and seemed to be full of impatience when he spoke, "Who is Yuantai?"
Yan Yun held back his anger and said in a deep voice, "That's it."
"Oh, let's go, what are you doing standing around?" The county official flicked his sleeves and left.
No matter how patient Yan Yun is, he can't help but swear in his heart. At the same time, he can't help but wonder that he hasn't offended Zoe. What does this Taiping County official mean?
