Chapter 768
The plopping sound was covered by the wind and waves, and the boat following Xiao Changyan did not notice the reason for the extra distance.

"Your Highness, we have entered the reef area, and the wind and waves are extremely strong, affecting the judgment of the sailors." The subordinate came to report.

Xiao Changyan brought someone who had explored this area of ​​the river. This person was originally a sailor with excellent water skills, and he relied on this craft to send messages.

However, the wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger, the route of the boat, and the darkness of the night, without the moonlight, there are no signs on the vast river, so it is very difficult to judge.

"Where's the boat ahead?" Xiao Changyan asked.

"The boat in front also slowed down." The subordinate replied. . .

Because of the wind and waves, Xiao Changyan moved from the deck to the cabin. As long as the window is opened, the wind can shake the things in the house, and it is even difficult to open the eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Changyan also completely lost the direction of judgment. He considered for a moment: "Can you order the two ships to speed up and pass them to intercept?"

"Your Highness, at this time, the wind and waves sometimes come and go, but they are not small, and there are reefs. It is really not advisable to outflank and go up." The experienced sailor persuaded in a low voice.

Xiao Changyan listened to the opinion and was thinking about it when suddenly a sentry came to report: "Your Highness, the boat ahead seems to have stopped."

"Stop?" Everyone in the boat was shocked.

Xiao Changyan didn't care if there was a storm outside, he rushed out quickly, walked to the position of the watchpost, and looked forward along the high hanging lanterns.

Occasionally, a flash of lightning could see the ship, but usually it was impossible to see clearly. Xiao Changyan was not sure whether it really stopped.

At the moment he ordered: "Catch up."

As soon as the voice fell, a gust of wind hit, and for a moment, it seemed that the boat was sideways, but only in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.

"Your Highness, there are many reefs ahead. Once we catch up, it may be difficult to retreat." The sailor must remind.

"Your Highness, why don't you send two ships to investigate?" the subordinate suggested.

Xiao Changyan was silent, and accepted the proposal. Their boat slowly stopped at a relatively safe place, and they sent two other boats to surround it.

On the other side, Shen Yun'an brought several official ships, and Shen Shiwu, who was disguised as Yu Xiang, quickly chased them. Naturally, they were not chasing Xiao Changyan, but chasing the other ships that fell behind Xiao Changyan and led by Xiao Changfeng official ship.

Xiao Changfeng led the brave army, but this time His Majesty was worried about the separation of powers and caused disputes, so he simply handed it over to Xiao Changyan to be the master, and he assisted from the side.

The people he brought didn't have much experience in sailing, but they also felt that the wind was blowing and the weather was weird, so they were a little worried: "My lord, should we continue to follow?"

If you continue to follow, you will enter the center of the river area. If there is a strong wind, it will be difficult to retreat.

"Follow the order." Xiao Changfeng frowned and looked at the flag that was blown up and down by the wind.

Xiao Changyan didn't send an order, and the holy metaphor they received was that Xiao Changyan was the commander. Even if Xiao Changfeng sensed something wrong at this time, he couldn't evacuate without authorization.

Even if there was something really bad, it was absolutely impossible for them to ignore Xiao Changyan.

After driving for another half a cup of tea, the wind that was intermittent before now actually continues non-stop, Xiao Changfeng raised his hand: "You tell the boat behind to slow down..."

"Report to the prince, there is an official ship chasing after him!" Before Xiao Changfeng could finish his sentence, someone came forward to report.

"Official ship?" Xiao Changfeng was puzzled.

"Yes, the official ship." The reporter replied, "There are five ships in total, and the flag belongs to General Yu."

If there were one or two ships, Xiao Changfeng might worry that they were fakes, but it was not easy to imitate five ships. If they were stolen, the rest would send signals unless they were dead.

Therefore, the official boat easily approached Xiao Changfeng's boat, Shen Shiwu greeted Xiao Changfeng with Yu Xiang's face on his face, Shen Yun'an led his men, dived into the river from the boat, and approached Xiao Changfeng and his party along the churning waves. Ships, destroy ships from the bottom.

"My lord?" Seeing Xiao Changfeng, Shen Shiwu was shocked, but Yu Xiang naturally didn't know Xiao Changfeng was coming.

Xiao Changfeng at the bow nodded slightly: "General Yu didn't stay behind, why did he chase after him?"

Xiao Changyan didn't tell Yu Xiang that Xiao Changfeng was coming, nor did he tell Xiao Changfeng why Yu Xiang was left behind on the other side.Xiao Changfeng automatically understood that Yu Xiang was left behind.

"My lord, I ran into a fisherman by chance. The fisherman told me that there would be a violent storm tonight. I was worried about His Royal Highness King Jing, so I came to stop him." Shen Shiwu replied imitating Yu Xiang's figure.

Xiao Changfeng looked at the looming official ships behind him, since he came to report a letter, why do he need to bring so many people?
It was just this abnormality that aroused Xiao Changfeng's suspicion: "Why did General Yu bring the crowd here?"

"To tell you the truth, His Royal Highness King Jing originally received a tip-off that both Shizi Bu and Shizi Shen would follow tonight and escape into Sichuan." Shen Shiwu didn't beat around the bush, everyone knew who His Majesty was going to deal with and what kind of situation The bandits are all excuses, "However, Shen Shizi sent a merchant ship to the east because of suspicion, and His Highness ordered the general to guard the merchant ship, and finally intercepted the merchant ship.

There were no two princes on the boat, so they set up doubts. They just listened to what the fisherman said, so they finally interrogated the people on the merchant ship, and found out that the two princes knew that there would be more storms and heavy rain tonight, and they wanted to take risks. A breakthrough.

They will abandon their boats in the reef area and enter the water, swim through the reef area, and then they will be able to enter the territory of central Shu, and Mr. Bu has already known about the Shunan Prince's Mansion, and someone will meet him at the Shuzhong wharf. Once the two princes cross the reef area, they will be able to escape birthday.

The final general is worried, so the fast boat came here to help His Highness intercept the two princes. "

These words are reasonable, and Xiao Changfeng can't make mistakes for a while.

Just at this moment, Shen Shiwu heard the sound of the boat being buckled twice, and hurriedly said: "I don't know why the prince is here? The general has important matters at the end, and there is no need to delay, so I would like to ask the prince for convenience."

Xiao Changfeng glanced at Shen Shiwu, the two ships were not far away, and the lights on the bow of the ship swayed in the wind, illuminating the face that belonged to Yu Xiang.

Xiao Changfeng made a gesture, and their boats slowly stepped aside, and the official ships passed one by one, chasing after Xiao Changyan.

Xiao Changfeng watched the official ship disappear in silence, always feeling a little strange.

But Shen Yun'an got out of Xiao Changfeng's sight on the official boat, and immediately put down the boat, and arranged for his people to disperse with the boat, so that he didn't have to encircle Xiao Changfeng when necessary, the storm was getting bigger and bigger.

"My lord, please leave in a small boat!" Shen Shiwu urged again.

Shen Yun'an still didn't agree: "Go ahead."

The official boat continued to move forward, but it didn't take long for Xiao Changfeng's boat to start flooding, and it was teetering in the same wind and waves as before.

"The bottom of the boat is broken!" shouted the person who went to check!
Several ships broke the bottom, Xiao Changfeng's face changed drastically: "Not good!"
