Chapter 37 The third section

Xi Liji was in a hurry, he stepped on the green grass in the courtyard of the post house and left a large piece of white ground! It has been more than 20 days since I came to Zizi, and I couldn't see King Qi Wei. He was so anxious that he scolded "Tian Yinqi, old owl!" "My king's condition is getting better, and I can go to the doctor in three or two days." But when he was ready with great enthusiasm, son Tian Wen would say again, "My king's condition is onset, please wait for a doctor for a few days." So repeated After a few times, the disease in Chuli also became sick.Originally, he deliberately rushed to the front of Su Qin to come to Zizi, but he wanted to stabilize Qi first, so that Su Qin's "Six Kingdoms" would lose an important pillar and become lame.But now that there is a delay, this "one step ahead" becomes meaningless.But it would be inappropriate to leave without seeing King Qi Wei. After all, Qin State needs Qi State to solve its difficulties by itself.Wait here, I'm really in a hurry.

Today, Chi Liji was doing circles on the grass in the courtyard again, he was too lazy to scold Qi Wang Laoxiao, he paced slowly, thought slowly, but calmed down.That's right, it's clear that the old owl deliberately delayed, neither wanting to let him go, nor seeing him immediately.What does this old owl want to do?By the way, I must be waiting for Su Qin and his party!This old owl wants to hold both Qin State and the "Su-Qin Five Kingdoms" in his own hands. He has to use Qin State to suppress the "Su-Qin Five Kingdoms" and the "Su-Qin Five Kingdoms" to suppress Qin State, and then weigh The choice allows Qi to seek greater benefits from it.Ah, what a cunning old owl!Thinking of this, Chi Liji couldn't help laughing: "Bird! You Tian Yinqi, how dare you play with us black fat man! Let's just tease you, old owl, and if it doesn't work, we won't leave. See How do you play this game?"

"Master, who are you talking to?" A burst of clear laughter sounded from behind. "Anyway, I didn't talk to you, young master." Waiting for Xili to turn around quickly, he saw a young man walking towards him with a smile on his face.This man is tall, with loose long hair, a red soft armor, a red embroidered gold cloak on the outside, and a wide long sword in his left hand. He is like a swordsman of the Warring States Period!Chi Liji looked it up and down, and said with a teasing smile: "Although he looks like a swordsman, he is very wealthy after all. Without the coldness and coldness of the commoner swordsman, he looks like a young lotus flower."

The visitor couldn't help laughing: "Ci Lizi, no matter how much you scold me, I still can't help it." "You Tian Wen can't do anything, I have a way, what are you afraid of?" "Ci Lizi is leaving again?" Tian Wen's eyes flashed suddenly. "Hmph, you're just leaving." Chi Liji sneered and said, "I, if I can't eat pork, I have to guard it. You must give me a pig bone." "The wicked have pity on themselves." Tian Wen burst out laughing again: "Qin State is so majestic, Qi State dares to offend it? Where does the scorpion want a bone? It is clear that he wants to swallow a fat pig whole." "Hehehe, why is this reasonable? I have never plucked a single pig hair from Qi."

Tian Wen smiled uncontrollably and nodded: "That's true. Hey, I said Chu Lizi, how about I invite my brother to the market today?" Chu Liji slapped his bulging belly : "Old and fat, can I have fun with young people like you? That's all." "Hey——" Tian Wen smiled mysteriously: "The holy land of Linzi is the only one in the world, really don't you want to go?" "Then..." Chi Li quickly blinked the slender triangular eyes unique to the Qin people: "Hey, could it be that the king's harem is not successful? Okay! Let's go." Without being wordy, he followed Tian Wen.When he arrived at the gate of the post house, he saw a large caravan waiting at the gate. Tian Wen extended his hand to invite with a smile, and Chi Liji sat in without politeness.Tian Wen followed and sat in, stomped his foot, and the caravan lowered the thick curtain on the front compartment, and started rattling away.

Chi Liji looked around in the dark and gloomy carriage, and saw that the carriage was very spacious, with two wide seats side by side, and raised footstools under his feet, making it very comfortable to sit on; unbelievably, there was also a small couch behind, It is more than enough for a person to curl up there. Obviously, this is a special kind of caravan. "The people of Qi are bothered, is this called a car?" Chu Li asked with a quick smile.Tian Wen laughed and said: "I haven't seen it before, it's called a free car, and it's four horses for field trips. The couch at the back is retractable, from as small as a seat to as large as a couch. There is a camera obscura under the couch. There is a full range of wine, meat and tea inside. Covered with brocade quilts and big pillows, this getaway car is like a gold-selling cave, do you want to try it another day?"

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Chi Li couldn't help but burst into tongues: "The nobles in Linzi are very, very good!" "Qin people are really rare and strange." Tian Wen grinned and said, "There are many such cars in Linzi, and my Xiaoyao car is the most shabby one. King Qi's Xiaoyao car, the carriage is about a foot square. It's just a few veterans." The getaway car of the rich and powerful is also eight or nine feet square, and it is quite roomy for three or two beauties." Xi Liji's black face was already tense, and he wanted to reprimand him, but after thinking about it, he laughed: " Linzi has already led the civilization of the world, surpassing Daliang. Presumably, the scholars of Jixia Academy will soon have a car for each of them."

"Stop trying to abuse the state of Qi." Tian Wen said with a smile: "Civilized and elegant? You can figure it out! Do you want to make Qi state continue to be absurd and extravagant by pouring it into me? Did you get down?" Xi Liji laughed loudly: "There is a young master in the state of Qi, finally he has some breath left." Tian Wen sighed deeply: "Ci Lizi, the boulders are rolling down the mountain, and a single tree is too difficult to support. When we arrive, get out of the car." Chu Li quickly got out of the car, and saw the caravan parked at a street corner. In the middle of the tall archway there are four large characters "Green Valley Scenic Spot", but in the street are all green-roofed wooden buildings. Although they are not very wide, they are very neat and tidy.The most different thing is that there are four civil servants with swords standing downstairs on the stone deck, carefully checking the ID cards of everyone who enters the street.The identity card is a bronze medal issued by Qi State to foreign businessmen and envoys. It is engraved with the portrait, name, and country of the card holder, and there is a bronze seal of the casting workshop on the back, which cannot be imitated by private individuals.Tian Wen laughed softly: "Ci Lizi, only foreigners are allowed in here, especially foreign businessmen, but they can only walk."

Chili nodded quickly, and said with a teasing smile: "Hey, is this the trick that old man Guan Zhong uses to take out foreigners' money bags? He is not allowed to ride a car or ride a horse for fear that he will run away without giving the money. What about Green Valley Scenic Spot? Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk The old man can tell." "Guan Zhong is a hero of the Qi State, so don't talk nonsense." Tian Wen smiled: "If I didn't accompany you, I wouldn't even be able to get in." Chi Liji laughed: "Ah, there are times when I lend my light. Okay. I'll take you in to see the scenery!" He said and handed over the special envoy's bronze medal, and after checking it out, the little official saluted the two of them respectfully.Without saying a word, Xi Liji pulled Tian Wen and walked in.

On both sides of the street are two-story green-roofed wooden buildings. If you look closely, you can see that each is good at winning, and one is completely different from the other.At the main entrance facing the street in front of each building, there is a stone tablet with its own name engraved on it: "Lvyuelou", "Sanxianju", "Hehanchun", "Baiyunjian", "Yunyudu", "Yangchun". "Snow"... Chi Liji murmured all the way, repeatedly shouting "nasty!", which made Tian Wen laugh out loud.Finally, Chi Liji pointed out: "Yang Chunxue, it's still not satisfactory."

Tian Wen smiled and said: "Then go in, don't be mad at me." He couldn't help but push Chi Liji into the hall of "Yang Chunxue".Unexpectedly, this Yang Chunxue is so luxurious that it is shocking!The wide hall, ten feet square, is paved with white jade bricks, so bright that people can be seen.On both sides of the entrance hall, there are actually two pieces of swaying green bamboos, which are harmonious and elegant against the snow-white jade brick floor.At the end of the hall is a bronze mirror that is almost as high as the wall, which actually reflects the long green street outside the hall into an infinitely deep corridor. Guests walking towards them seem to be going to an unfathomable mysterious place.On the wall on the left is a single large character—food!On the wall on the right is also a single big character—色! Chi Liji looked embarrassed, and his face flushed red: "Tsk tsk tsk! Qi is really rich, it's like a pile of gold cakes, Guan Zhong is really black, black!" On: Food and sex, sex too?" Tian Wen happily looked at Chi Liji's embarrassment. "Hey, return to Master Meng? The old man wants to know that two words are written here, and he is not so angry?" "Shhh, stop talking, mom is here." "Mom?" Chu Li laughed uncontrollably: "Is there a mother in this place? Your mother or my mother?" Tian Wenke squeezed the scorpion and said in a low voice, "It's my mother, and it's nobody's." "Don't mess around! It's nobody's fault, what kind of mother is it?" Chu Liji was even more surprised. Tian Wen was in a hurry, so he leaned into his ears and said sternly, "Mom is the head of the women's team. Don't make noise!" A beautiful woman in a long white gauze dress came lightly and bowed to Tian Wen: "My lord, please follow me!" I'll come." Tian Wen was surprised: "How did mother know me?" The beauty smiled charmingly: "Who doesn't know the king in Linzi? The son's visit to Yang Chunxue is also a big event for our family. Please go upstairs for leisure. Tian Wen said with a relieved smile, "I am here with this honored guest. Mr. has a very elegant taste. Mom has noticed." A salute: "Little girl has met Mr.." The demeanor is extremely gentle.Xi Liji cupped his hands involuntarily, and said, "Take care of me." Tian Wen couldn't help laughing "Pfft!"Xi Liji suddenly felt embarrassed, and gave Tian Wen a hard look.But the beauty smiled sweetly: "Sir is a distinguished guest, please." After saying that, she walked briskly, led the two of them around the bronze mirror, and walked up the stairs on the scarlet and soft thick carpet.Xi Liji looked at the golden and shiny stair railing, stretched out his hand and flicked it, and there was a sound of "Dang!", and couldn't help exclaiming: "Hey! The real thing!" He sneezed loudly, stepped on the ground, and his body suddenly flashed!However, the beauty in the white dress seemed to have expected it in advance, and gently leaned against her body to help Tian Wen stabilize her body.But Chi Liji laughed: "What is good is rewarded with good." The beauty turned her head and glanced out of the corner of her eye: "Mr. is very funny, and he is a real celebrity." One sentence made Chu Liji warm, and he couldn't help but clasped his hands and said: "Young master and mother praise, how dare you accept it?" After saying a word, Tian Wen and the woman couldn't help laughing and fell down on the stairs. Tian Wen was out of breath and said: "You, you, you, mother..." Xi Liji It turned out that I really didn't know the rules, so I shook my head seriously: "No, no, no, a gentleman doesn't steal beauty, how can he argue with his mother?" Seeing his earnest argument, Tian Wen and the woman laughed together. . After finally getting upstairs, the beauty led the two of them through several turns, before arriving at an extremely elegant room surrounded by green gauze.The beauty asked with a smile: "My lord, sir, drink first? Take a bath first?" Tian Wendao: "Take a bath first." "Eat wine! Hehe, I took a bath ten days ago." Chu Liji seriously shook his head. Beauty opened her mouth in surprise for the first time, but quickly covered her face with a white scarf.Tian Wen laughed loudly: "Old Master, how often do you take a bath?" "One month. If there is a war, there will be no days." "It's already rotten!" Tian Wen laughed and said, "Stop making noise, take a bath first!" The beauty's face was flushed by the smile, and when she heard the words, she quickly clapped her hands twice, and saw two beautiful and lively girls floating out from behind the green gauze on the left and right. The joy of bathing." Tian Wen said with a smile: "Mr. Xili first, please serve carefully." The beauty's mother only glanced at the girl, and the girl immediately suppressed her smile and lowered her eyebrows, turning into a meek and honest village girl. Xi Liji said shyly, "Ada please take a bath." In the dialect of the Qin people, the father was called "Da", and this "Ada" means foster father, and later evolved into "Ganda", and the Central Plains was called "Godfather".Xili was in his late forties, and his complexion was dark and rough. Normally, he would laugh at himself as an "old man" from time to time. When he heard a girl calling him "Ada", he felt that he was the father of such a girl. He suddenly felt a sense of simplicity and nostalgia. "Okay, okay, Ah Da will take a bath once. You wait for me, come out to have a drink!" "No, it's convenient for me." Tian Wen refused with a smile. "How can I make it easier for myself? Make it easier for me together!" Chu Liji had already reached the entrance of the cubicle, but turned around and became serious.Tian Wen: "Okay, okay, let's make it easier together, I'll wait for you." Seeing Xili, the beauty and the girl hurried in, laughed involuntarily, and fell on Tian Wen's body together... At this moment, there was a sudden rush of heavy footsteps, and a male servant hurried in to greet him. The beauty bowed: "Report to the proprietor, the young master's servants urgently ask to see the young master." "Who is it?" Tian Wen asked anxiously. "Sign up Feng Huan." Tian Wen suddenly got up: "Please take care of my mother, the distinguished guest will come out later, escort him to the caravan at the street entrance, I will go." After finishing speaking, he hurried away without waiting for the beauty to answer.Feng Huan brought a sudden news: Weishui skyrocketed, Su Qin and his party might have to postpone!Tian Wen's face turned livid immediately: "Let's go, go home and worry about it." Sitting in the car, he didn't say a word, but he was extremely anxious in his heart.Feng Huan didn't ask any more questions, he focused on driving, and returned to Tian Wen's mansion in a short while. Tian Wen is the nephew of King Qi Wei, and was called "Tian Clan's New Talent" by King Qi Wei.This time, Tian Wen received a secret order from King Wei of Qi: make every effort to mediate between the "Five Kingdoms of Su and Qin" and the special envoy of Qin State, and plan the best way out for Qi State.Tian Wen knew very well that no matter how he weighed the balance, King Qi had to meet both parties in person to make the final decision.And this once heroic king, now aged and suffering from chronic diseases, has become more and more unhealthy recently, and it seems that he may die suddenly and forever at any time.Coupled with the fact that Xiliji is exhausted here, it is natural for Su Qin and his party to arrive as early as possible.For this reason, Tian Wen selected a strong team of 30 people from more than 600 disciples, and handed it over to Feng Huan, who was talented in both civil and military affairs, and he led the team to monitor the trends of various countries at any time.After Su Qin successfully lobbied Zhao Guo, this team cast a wide net and sent all kinds of news to Linzi at any time.Su Qin entered Chu, and Xili quickly entered Qi. Qi became the focus of competition between Hezong and Qin, and this team became even busier.Right now, the Weishui water is soaring inexplicably, Feng Huan and the others can't find out who is responsible for it, isn't it a strange thing?If it is delayed for a long time, wouldn't it be a big mistake?Back at the mansion, Tian Wen sent a shrewd retainer to the post house to find a reason to explain to Chi Liji, and at the same time immediately discussed with Feng Huan and his confidants.Feng Huan had thought about it a long time ago and proposed a three-pronged approach: first, he would lead 20 knights who are good at swimming to Weishui overnight, trying to cross Weishui to meet Su Qin; Confidential documents, rushed to the bank of Weishui overnight to collect large ships, it would be even better if they could take over all the troops of Su and Qin; Immediately use a thousand-mile car to pick up Su Qin alone first. After Feng Huan said, the others had no objection, and Tian Wen readily agreed, so they immediately split up.Tian Wen himself hurried to the posthouse to appease Xi Liji. After all, this special envoy of the State of Qin cannot be offended. When Feng Huan's horse team set off, Su Qin's five-nation mission had just arrived on the east bank of Weishui. Weishui originated from Weishan Mountain in Langye County, so it was named Weishui.Langye County was originally the capital of the Yue Kingdom in the late period. After the Chu Kingdom annihilated Yue, the land of Langye became the northern border of the Chu Kingdom.The Weishui flows independently into the sea in the northwest, flows through the eastern plain of Linzi, and becomes the largest river across the territory of Qi.Among the second-class rivers that independently enter the sea (the ancients called the four major rivers, rivers, Huai, and Ji that independently entered the sea as the "Four Famous Waters", excluding those that entered the sea independently with a short process), it can be called a big water. The water flow is rich, the river course is wide, and the river section across the mountain is narrow and turbulent.At that time, the Weishui River was still a sparsely populated and desolate area on both sides of the territory of Chu State, with hundreds of miles of vast saline-alkali flats. It also inherited the northern border of Yue State, and unintentionally sent troops to advance northward.In the early days of King Qi Wei, he wanted to occupy this vast reed beach as the foundation for advancing southward, but later he felt that holding it in his hands would cause trouble, so he built the Great Wall of Qi on the southern edge of the arable land.Therefore, this vast expanse of saline-alkali land became an uninhabited buffer zone between Chu and Qi, and they were happy to accept it.Su Qin's five-nation mission already has more than 2,000 accompanying troops and horses, and together with the baggage convoy and clerks' entourage, there are a total of 3,000 people!According to Wei Wuji's dispatch, take ten large ships of Chu State's boat division from Yingdu, go down the Huai River to the east, pass through Hongze, disembark and ride on horses, and go northward, and then cross Weiwei from Gaomi County in Qi State to the west. Water, directly to Linzi!The journey went smoothly, and on the sixth day they arrived in the territory of Qi State.When they rushed to the bank of Weishui, everyone was at a loss. The usually clear Weishui has turned into a muddy muddy current with violent waves!All the fertile fields on the bank were submerged in waist-deep muddy water, and the official roads by the river were also soaked into soft-rooted roads that could not be stepped on.Looking at the west bank, the yellow mist is boundless, not to mention that there is no boat, even if there is a boat, how can the surging muddy water and the endless shallow water mud on the west bank be able to pass? "Oh, ah, the flood is so severe that you can't even have a boat!" Huang Xie was so anxious that his voice changed. "You son of a bitch! It must be the Qin State!" Zhao Sheng cursed viciously. "Mr. Wu Xin, I think we have to make a detour." Wei Wuji looked at Su Qin and then at the vast mud flow: "Choose ten fast horses, and Mr. Wu Xin will go first. If there is no accident on the way, we will arrive in Linzi in half a month." "The rest Where are the people and horses?" Jing Yan asked anxiously. "Stay where you are, walk as long as you can." Neither Huang Xie nor Zhao Sheng spoke, obviously thinking that this was the only choice.Seeing that Su Qin had no objection, Zhao Sheng said in a hurry, "Leave the selection of horses to me. I have five ready-made horses here. I will guarantee you six hundred miles a day!" "Wait a minute." Su Qin shook his hand: "The danger of the detour has already been discussed in Yingdu... There is no way but to swim!" "Oh, oh, swim? A joke! It's too dangerous!" Huang Xie waved his hands again and again, His face turned pale. Zhao Shengrui said: "Wu Xinjun, how do you swim? Can you swim?" Jing Yan's face was dark: "It's absolutely impossible! If something happens, I will have no face to go back to Old Yanshan." Only Wei Wuji was silent. Seeing Su Qin looking at him, he sighed heavily: "Mr. Wu Xin is in danger of the world. The saying goes that water and fire have no mercy..." "Don't talk anymore, everyone." Su Qin calmly and decisively said, "King Qi always There is an unforeseen danger, and the Qin State also intends to pull the king of Qi. How can it be delayed for half a month? The success or failure of the combination is here! How can the success be lost in a hundred miles and a half and ninety?" Looking at the heavy hesitation of several people, Su Qin sighed with emotion: "Life and death are insignificant, I only hope that death will be what it deserves. I will take Jing Yan to swim across, and the three young masters will detour, and the rest will stay where they are." As soon as the words fell, several people shouted loudly, and Huang Xie's voice was the loudest: "Oh, swim and swim! Why don't I count it? Is there anyone who is better at swimming than me?" Zhao Sheng blushed even more: "Wu Xin Jun Damian! Are you looking down on me, Zhao Sheng? Did the swordsman of Zhao leave his master? Absurd, absurd!" Wei Wuji waved his hand, and solemnly bowed to Su Qin: "Wu Xinjun's words are magnificent, just swim across! However, Wu Xinjun ordered Wuji to be in charge of the army, so he must obey my assignment and not mess with the military law." Su Qin nodded: "That's fine, the son's assignment is just." Wei Wuji turned around and said solemnly: "Everyone listen to my general order: son Huang Xie, choose thirty water masters from among the children of Chu State, to accompany Wu Xinjun on both sides, and specialize in protection; son Zhao Sheng, choose ten top-quality horses, and take them with you. Twenty knights lead the horses and swim across; General Jing Yan, lead the army and horses to stay on the east bank! I, Wei Wuji, lead twenty strong men to protect a briefcase and swim across; if there is no objection, immediately split up and prepare, swim in half an hour later!" "I have an objection!" Jing Yan said impassionedly: "If you want me to stay, Jing Yan will kill herself immediately! I can't leave Wu Xinjun! The strong men of the country of Yan can't leave Wu Xinjun! That's it!" The edge of the sword rested on his neck. The audience was stunned.Su Qin didn't know what to say. It was because he thought of safety and didn't want the three pillars to be in danger. He regarded the strong men of Yan as his old roots, so he first ordered Jing Yan to follow him. Now Wei Wuji turned his arrangements upside down. When it came over, Jing Yan was so fierce, it was really hard to deal with it. After a long silence, Wei Wuji sighed softly: "General, put down your sword, Wuji will just stay behind." Jing Yan withdrew her sword slowly, but looked at Wei Wuji in surprise, feeling a little dazed in her heart.In his opinion, Zhao Sheng is the youngest and should stay behind. How could Wei Wuji want to stay by himself?He is the chief of the army, but after thinking about it, with Zhao Sheng's youthful vigor, how could he give up his heroic actions?Just now he said that Su Qin looked down on him, so what should Wei Wuji do when there is an argument?Thinking about it, Jing Yan bowed deeply: "Thank you for your success, son, Jing Yan will never forget you." Wei Wuji laughed loudly: "Where did you come from? I managed to come here later, maybe, it is appropriate for me to stay behind. Everyone, start preparing!" The three of them hurried away, and Su Qin gave Wei Wuji a sigh: "Young Master Qu Tolerating others is really a talent for the overall situation. Su Qin is one step ahead, and will try to get the young master back as soon as possible." Wei Wuji smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, sir, let's go, I will help you prepare." Huang Xie is the busiest.He gathered 300 Chu knights and all his entourage, boarded the chariot and shouted: "Heroes of Chu, Lord Wu Xin is determined to swim across the Wei River for the safety of the world! I, Huang Xie, also decided to follow. I want to ask, who Are you an expert in the water? Who wants to go to the national disaster together? Left side!" Just as the voice fell, the crowd was in a commotion, and then they all shouted: "I am!" "I count one!" !" Amidst the shouts, the bare left arm was raised together to form a white forest! "Oh, good! There are so many righteous men in Chu State, why worry about being unhappy!" Huang Xie shouted excitedly: "The disciples of Yunmengze have come forward!" , almost everyone is familiar with water, and it is the main force of Chu State's water army.The disciple of Yunmengze, who joined the army and became a knight, is the essence of a fisherman who is hard on land and water.While they were taking their left and right sides, they had already quickly stripped off all their armor, leaving only their close-fitting short jackets. Hearing Huang Xie's call, the disciples of Yunmengze strode forward with a whistling sound, and stood in a row of white flowers! "Oh..." Huang Xie suddenly choked up: "All the strong men are awarded one level of nobility! But if there are sacrifices, they will be given a third level of nobility, and they will be buried in their hometown!" After saying this, he bowed deeply and knelt down on the shaft of the chariot . "Children of Yunmeng, swear to serve the country to the death!" With a shout, more than sixty disciples of Yunmengze fell to their knees in unison.Huang Xie jumped out of the car: "Everyone, please stand up and listen to my assignment: those who are strong in water fighting, stand on the left; those who are good at swimming but weak in physical strength, stand on the right." One of the team said loudly: "Young master orders, I will There are no weak people in the water!" Huang Xie said: "Okay! Thirty people from the left team will protect Wu Xinjun, ten will swim forward to open the way, eight will break the rear, ten will be in the middle to guard the two sides, and two will drive Wu Xinjun to swim!" "Follow orders! "The thirty people on the left echoed. "The right team is thirty people, ten people go forward to explore the water, ten people assist Zhao Guozhuang to lead the horse, and ten people patrol the emergency!" "Follow orders!" "Prepare in a moment, leave a message! After a moment, all line up and go into the water!" Yunmengze's disciples dispersed, Huang Xie tidied himself up a bit, and explained a few things to the left-behind entourage, then hurried to find Su Qin.In a small tent, Su Qin had already tidied up, and Wei Wuji was looking at it and appraising it.Huang Xie was surprised, but saw that Su Qin's gray hair was tightly tied, his upper body was naked, and only a tight cloth wrapped his lower body!The copper-colored muscles are firm and full, but they are also full of scars! "Oh Wu Xinjun, why do you have so many scars?" Before Su Qin could answer, Zhao Sheng hurried in. Wei Wuji looked at Huang Xie and Zhao Sheng who were covered in white, and couldn't help smiling: "When you face each other naked, you can see that the fine iron is brittle." Farewell to Jade." Huang Xie also laughed: "Oh, you, Wei Wuji, are you still better than Wu Xinjun?" Zhao Sheng was also amazed: "Ah! Lord Wu Xin didn't go to war, how can he be just like my old father?" "Without wind and frost, you can't become a great weapon. Believe me!" Wei Wuji sighed with emotion. Su Qin smiled: "Young masters, bells and whistles, Su Qin Penghao commoner clothes, time and fate, how can we compare?" "Oh," Huang Xie suddenly said: "In autumn, the water is cold, and my husband is naked, how can I bear it? ""It's okay." Su Qin said with a smile: "I am the most resistant to cold, and I am naked in the world of ice and snow." At this time, the horns outside the tent blared!The four hurried out of the tent, only to see that Jing Yan had cleared the swimming formation and reported to Wei Wuji loudly: "The formation of swimming is complete! Please order, my lord!" Wei Wuji turned around and bowed to Huang Xie, holding the command flag with both hands: "Brother Huang is in charge of the matter on the water, please Wei Wuji." Huang Xie returned the salute solemnly: "A big event is approaching, respect is worse than obedience." After saying that, he strode into a cart and waved the flag: "Exploring the water scout, Get into the water first—!" Ten Yunmengze disciples shouted, hurling across the mudflat and plunging into the vast yellow water.Looking from a distance, they spread out in a line on the river, covering the water about a mile wide.Gradually, their figures turned into little black dots, appearing and disappearing among the rolling mud waves, and gradually the water and sky became blurred, and they could not see anything.About half an hour later, there was a melodious and heavy sound of conch horns from the opposite bank! "Oh, three longs and two shorts! The bottom of the water is dangerous and there are many floating objects on the water surface, so be careful!" Huang Xie turned to look at Su Qin, who nodded calmly.Huang Xie turned around and issued an order loudly: "My son, Zhao Sheng, lead the strong men of Zhao State to lead the horses, and swim ahead! Ten disciples of Yunmeng swim to rescue the emergency!" He ordered the flag to be lowered: "Let's go!" Zhao Sheng shouted, Zhao Twenty warriors from the country led ten Yinshan war horses with complete saddles and bridles, neighing and jumping, into the surging water!I saw Zhao Sheng taking care of them in the middle, and there were three people and one horse in one unit, two Zhao Guo warriors leading the horse and pushing the horse one after the other, and a Yunmengze disciple swimming left and right to rescue the emergency.The ten units advanced side by side, and the sharp shouts of Xiao Xiao Ma Ming and Zhao Sheng continued to be heard from the river!People on the bank were shocked. Half an hour later, the eighty Yan Kingdom knights led by Jing Yan went into the water.The guard knights sent by Yan State were originally two hundred-man teams, but after repeated selection, there were only 80 of them who could swim, but their ability to swim in this turbulent muddy water was obviously not as good as that of the children of Chu State.After all, Jing Yan was not confused, so she no longer insisted that all the knights of the country of Yan swim across, and no longer insisted that she must personally guard Su Qin's swim, but obeyed Huang Xie's order and led the knights of the country of Yan to swim across alone.This was the weakest time for water, so Huang Xie specially sent forty additional Chu disciples who were not selected, together with the original ten Yunmengze disciples, a total of fifty people to swim with the Yan knights.Even so, emergency cries of choking and drowning continued to come from the vast river, causing panic on the shore.After a long time, another sound of conch horns finally came from the west bank! At this time dusk has fallen, Huang Xie hesitated: "Wu Xinjun, let's swim tomorrow." Su Qin did not hesitate, "No, light a torch and swim overnight!" You are a hero! Come on, light the torches! Get the wine!" A large torch was lit in the deep twilight, Wei Wuji poured the wine himself, and made a toast to Su Qin, to Huang Xie, and to all the disciples of Yunmengze.Then Wei Wuji walked up to a mound and ordered all the three-sided cowhide drums to be carried up the mound. Wei Wuji took off his cloak, walked to the middle drum, and took the pair of huge drumsticks: "Wu Xinjun, Wuji will beat the drums for you!" Already!" Three drums sounded in unison, rumbling like thunder!Huang Xie shouted: "Soldiers, get into the water—!" There were torches on the shore, and there was a lot of shouting.Thirty disciples of Yunmengze, each holding a torch, surrounded Su Qin and entered the raging mud flow, and a circle of torches slowly moved forward around Su Qin.Huang Xieyou was beside Su Qin, shouting and pushing away the drifting trees and haystacks.Walking to the center of the river, suddenly the water was more than ten feet deep, and the waves were rolling with great momentum. Su Qin suddenly felt exhausted, and his body drifted away with the waves involuntarily!The two disciples of Yunmengze, who were holding the guards, roared loudly, and without any explanation, they supported Su Qin one by one.Just at this moment, a huge broken tree rushed over on the waves in the shadow of the torches!Huang Xie on the right yelled, and came to push hard, but unexpectedly, Huang Xie was weak, and his water skills were barely enough to protect himself. He was knocked aside by a broken tree and a dead branch, and a big bloody gash was cut on his arm!Huang Xie was knocked into choking water, and while coughing fiercely, he saw Duanmu go straight towards Su Qin, and he was shocked and said, "Oh!" At this time, Yunmeng's disciple on Su Qin's right shouted: "Protect me!" !” Then he rushed towards the broken log at the top of the wave with all his strength, and saw him jumping out of the water, facing the incoming force of the broken log, he pushed his shoulders into the slanting stab!In an instant, the broken wood parted, but a piece of bright red blood floated out on the surface of the water! "Brother—!" With the cry of Yunmeng's disciple who supported Su Qin, three or four Yunmeng's disciples who swam over chased down the bloody water of the broken tree!After about a meal, they swam back with difficulty with one person in their arms.Huang Xie hissed and asked, "Can anyone be saved?" A boy cried, "A dead branch has been inserted into his stomach..." Another boy swam over and reported, "Qu San is a boy of the boat family, and he had already swung the broken log away. , but the dead branch under the water pierced into the belly. There is still a breath, life and death are hard to tell!" At this time, he had passed the center of the deep water river, and Su Qin was ups and downs in the muddy water, but the tears washed away the mud on his cheeks, and his feet touched the ground. He bravely stood up from the mud flow: "Let's go! Treat this brother—!" With a hoarse shout, he miraculously walked out of the mud flow...crossed the mud flat more than two miles wide, The two torches finally meet.Zhao Sheng heard something different, and ordered the sergeant to lay out a pile of dry thatch, and took out the wound medicine from the harness.Zhao Sheng greeted the clay figurine and wanted to check on Su Qin and Huang Xie. Su Qin shouted hoarsely: "I'm fine! Save the Chu brothers!" At this time, the children of Chu had already carried Qu San to the thatched pile, surrounded by torches .Huang Xie rushed over with blood all over his body: "Oh, get out of the way! I'll come and see!" But under the light of the torch, the muddy Qu San's eyes were closed tightly, and there was a sword-like thick sword stuck in his stomach. dead branches! "Clear water! Medicine!" Following Huang Xie's shout, someone brought a large basin of clean water to rinse Qu San's body.As soon as the muddy water went away, Qu San's stomach was swollen into a huge bruise, and the dead branches were cracked into a white hole!Qu San, whose face was as pale as snow, was already on the verge of death. "Brother! Just go like this! Open your eyes and look at me!" A clay figurine staggered in, hugged Qu San and cried loudly.The disciples of Yunmengze who supported Su Qin were originally twin brothers of Qu San.The elder brother already knew that his younger brother was in danger in the water, but he just cried out and stopped talking. He gritted his teeth and guarded Su Qin across the deep water area, and then passed out.At this time, my brother woke up, seeing his brother's miserable state, knowing that there was no help, why didn't he let out a cry of grief? "Brother... I, I have a title... The Qu family is no longer a slave farmer." Qu San unexpectedly woke up miraculously. "Oh, Qu San! I'm Huang Xie. You have a title! The whole family is out of slavery! You are the commander-in-chief! Do you hear me?" Huang Xie choked up and shouted hoarsely. It's speechless. Su Qin walked over holding a torch, and knelt down beside Qu San solemnly: "Brother Qu San, you went for me, you will always be my Su Qin's brother, and you will never be a slave again... Qu San!" "Wu Xinjun, son, good, good..." With a satisfied smile, Qu San closed his eyes peacefully. "Qu San..." Yunmengze's disciples cried together and knelt beside Qu San. The autumn wind is bleak, and the sound of the rolling waves of Weishui is blowing.According to the ancient customs of Yunmengze, the warriors of the Five Kingdoms put Qu San's body on a canoe.
