A knife in love

Chapter 1107

When the boatman said this, he paused for a while, turned his head and looked back, and then continued: "In half an hour, the day will be bright. As long as the sky is bright, even if we can't reach Sunjiapu, And these people came after them again, but there is no need to be afraid. As long as we can see where their ships are going, we will have a way to deal with them."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said to the boatman: "These people are coming for me, and have nothing to do with the uncle and the two elder brothers. No matter what happens, I will ensure that the three return to Chongqing Mansion safely."

While the two were talking, the big ship headed north quickly.It's just that the few boats followed behind at a leisurely pace. Although they still failed to catch up, the distance was not too far.After more than half an hour, the sky really brightened.The captain of the captain let out a sigh of relief, and said in his mouth: "Damn, I can finally take a breath. I have been suffocating to death in the middle of the night. If I can see the appearance of those bastards clearly, I should talk to them and come out." This anger in my heart!"

After a while, the surrounding area became more and more bright.Li Qiufeng walked quickly to the stern of the boat, raising his eyes to see the way he came.On the surface of the river tens of zhang away, unexpectedly there are five big boats closely following them.These five big ships were all black, their sails were full of wind, and they were traveling extremely fast.It's just that the hull is too big and not as flexible as the boat Li Qiufeng was on, so he didn't catch up.

Seeing Li Qiufeng walking to the stern, the boatman also turned his head to take a look.When he saw the five big boats coming from behind, he took a sip and said: "It seems that these five boats were all launched in Erlang Town. Three of them are in front of us, and the other two are following each other. At our left and right. Later, they wanted to intercept us, so they lowered the sails. But we suddenly accelerated and rushed over, and the boat in front of us hurriedly dodged in a panic, and the other four boats were far away. They didn't stop us. However, seeing how they were chasing after us, it would not be easy to get rid of them. We only hoped that we could arrive at Sunjiapu sooner, and we would abandon the boat and go ashore to report to the Yamen. Domineering, never dare to go against the government?!"

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this boatman doesn't know that it is Dongchang's fan who is chasing us.Not to mention the little Sunjiapu, even in the Chengdu mansion, no official would dare to oppose these fans.It would not be difficult for Master and I to escape, but we must not implicate the boatman and the other three.It is necessary to think of a perfect plan to drive these fans far away, so as not to disturb them again.

At this time, the big ship was full of wind and was driving fast on the river.Not long after, the sky was already bright.The boatman was relieved, he let out a sigh of relief, and said to Li Qiufeng: "We have finally escaped the catastrophe, as soon as we arrive at Sunjiapu, we will immediately report to the Yamen."

The boatman's words have another meaning.He said he wanted to report to the police, but his eyes rolled around Li Qiufeng, wanting to see his reaction.If Li Qiufeng agrees to report to the officials, this person is not a Jiangyang thief, but maybe a merchant who was robbed and killed by a thief.If Li Qiufeng does not agree to report to the officials, then this person is likely to be a Jiangyang thief, who attracted his enemies to intercept and kill him on the river.If Li Qiufeng is really a gangster, I have to deal with him carefully, and when I get to Sunjiapu, I will find a chance to escape first.

Li Qiufeng looked calm, nodded, and said: "Thanks to the uncle and the two elder brothers, they escaped in a big boat. If it were me, I'm afraid I would panic before these bad guys came around , the ship crashed and the people died."

While the two were talking, the big boat went on for more than half an hour.The boatman speculated that it was not far from Sunjiapu, and he became more relieved. When he was thinking about how to go to the Yamen to report to the officials after arriving in Sunjiapu, he accidentally looked up, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

I saw four big boats appearing on the river more than a hundred zhang away, lining up in a row and rushing towards the downstream.

These four big boats are the same as the five big boats that intercepted Li Qiufeng and others on the river before.I saw that the distance between the four big boats was only fifteen or sixty feet apart, and they had already blocked the entire river surface tightly.The boats came down the current very fast.At first they were more than a hundred feet away, but in the blink of an eye, the distance was only fifty or sixty feet away.

The boatman said in a trembling voice: "Damn it, it seems that these bastards also have an ambush in Sunjiapu. They made it clear that they don't want us to go ashore and want to kill us on the river."

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Qiufeng watched the four big boats getting closer.He thought to himself that the gangsters in Dongchang were determined to put him to death, and he was afraid that they would not be able to get rid of him only by intercepting him in Erlang Town, so he ambushed them again in Sunjiapu.Thinking about breaking through the interception of the five big ships just now, the fans on the ship flew pigeons to pass the message, and the masters from Dongchang in Sunjiapu boarded the ship immediately, and went to the river to intercept.At this time, the sky is already bright, and if you want to escape like just now, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky.It seems that the only way to get out of this difficulty is to have a head-to-head fight with Fanzi and kill Fanzi's leader.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng turned his head and said to the boatman: "Uncle, if someone rushes up in a while, you only need to control the boat, and I will do the rest."

The boatman's heart rose to his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, he just nodded, but couldn't even speak.

After a while, the four big boats were more than ten feet away.Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Qiufeng saw many people standing on the opposite boat.He took a deep breath and said without turning his head: "Uncle, you drive the boat across the two boats on the opposite side. If someone jumps on the boat and wants to kill me, you don't have to pay attention, I will naturally have a way to deal with it."

The boatman agreed, clenched the sail rope with both hands, and stared at the river between the two big boats opposite.He thought to himself, even though the distance between the two big boats was fifteen or sixty feet, it was not too difficult to drive them across at a glance.It's just that the river is turbulent and the opponent's ship is huge. If my ship gets in the middle of two big ships, as long as there is a slight bump, nothing will happen to the other's ship, but my own ship will definitely break and capsize.Therefore, he was extremely nervous, and the hands holding the sail rope were already dripping with sweat.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Qiufeng watched the other party's big boats approaching in front of him like overwhelming.Although he was always calm, he felt a little uneasy at this moment.When the bow of the boat was about to enter the waterway between the two big boats on the opposite side, suddenly saw a person standing on the bow of the big boat on the left, and said loudly to him: "Isn't this Master Li?"

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he looked up, only to see the man in a gray robe, with his hands behind his back, looking down at him.It's just that the sun shone brightly on the big boat, and Li Qiufeng could only squint his eyes, unable to see the person's face clearly for a while.But listening to him speak, the voice is quite familiar.Li Qiufeng's thoughts turned sharply, and suddenly he remembered a person.He glanced at the man again, and said loudly: "Unexpectedly, after a few months, I met Mr. Zhuang on this big river."

The boatman and the two boatmen were extremely nervous. Not only were they afraid that their boat would collide with the two big boats on the opposite side, but they were even more afraid that the people on board would be harmful to them.At this moment, hearing the person at the bow of the boat call Li Qiufeng "Master", the three of them immediately felt relieved.The boatman thought to himself, I have seen this Uncle Li speak and behave in an extraordinary way, but I never thought that he turned out to be a grown-up.Presumably there was some kind of misunderstanding that caused someone to be against him on the river.Now that someone has recognized his identity, naturally he dare not embarrass him anymore.Fortunately, I am respectful and courteous to this lord, otherwise it would be very bad if he blamed me.

While he was thinking, his boat had entered the channel between the two big boats.Driven by the left and right currents, the hull trembled violently.The boatman pulled the sail rope desperately, turned his head and shouted at the two boatmen who were steering the stern, "Hold the rudder firmly to me, if it's half way off, we all have to go see the water dragon king!"

At this moment, the person standing on the bow of the left bow jumped down.The boatman and the two boatmen didn't know martial arts, and seeing this situation, their faces changed drastically.Thinking about jumping off the bow of the boat, if one is not careful, he will fall into the river.At this time, the sky is cold and freezing, if they fall into the water, they will freeze instantly, and even if they are rescued back to the boat immediately, they will be seriously ill if they don't die.It's just that the person was as light as a swallow, and he was flying in the air as if facing the wind, and landed lightly on the bow of the boat, only a few feet away from Li Qiufeng.He smiled slightly, cupped his hands towards Li Qiufeng, and said, "Master Li is right. I didn't expect to meet Master Li here."
