() Xuanyuan Shengcai didn't panic. For him, he was afraid that nothing would happen. When he showed his skills, Chu Huan sent a signal saying that there was someone under the boat. He was a little surprised, but for Chu Huan, Xuanyuan Shengcai was a little in awe, knowing that Chu Huan would not be idle and making such jokes, he had already ordered the officers and soldiers to disperse and pay attention to the bottom of the boat.

He had made a bet with Chu Huan before, and Chu Huan had worried that there would be accidents if he walked by water, but Xuanyuan Sheng was full of confidence and didn't think that anyone would dare to break ground on Taisui. Xuanyuan Shengcai didn't feel regretful, anyway, it was just a bet of 20 taels of silver. If it was really a bandit attack, it would be an extremely happy thing to wipe out a bandit on the way to Anyi. . .

He personally led people into the cabin, opened the deck, and it was pitch black under the deck. A guard soldier jumped into the cabin first, and then Xuanyuan Sheng returned and took a lantern and shone it down. The sound seemed to vibrate, and the soldier below had already yelled: "No, Master Yun, there is water below...!"

Xuanyuan Sheng was taken aback and jumped down, and then several people jumped in. Under the light, they found that there were several holes on the deck of the lower cabin, some big and some small, and the river was rushing into the cabin. Come in.

When Xuanyuan Sheng was surprised, he suddenly raised his hand, and the big knife in his hand was thrown like a shooting star, and it shot in from a hole. Everyone was surprised, and they heard the sound of water, and a soldier flew forward , but saw that the water there was already dyed red, and only then did he know that Xuanyuan Sheng drew his knife suddenly, but he saw someone at the bottom of the water under the hole. . .

"Hurry up and get someone to block the hole." Xuanyuan Shengcai was really startled at this moment. Although the guards on this ship are all brave and good at fighting, most of them are not familiar with water. It is not even a problem for the soldiers of the army to fight one against three, but if the boat really enters the water or even sinks, then this group of brave landlubbers will be useless, and they may even die at the bottom of the river.

"Is there anyone who knows how to swim?" Xuanyuan Sheng shouted loudly: "Who knows how to swim, follow me down to capture the enemy...!"

At this time, someone had already summoned men from the cabin to block the hole, and dozens of people quickly jumped down from the top. Although these people encountered difficulties, they were well-trained and did not panic. They were in an orderly manner. The boatmen were found immediately. They have been on the boat all year round and know how to repair the boat. Under the command of these boatmen, the guards quickly searched for wooden boards to block the hole, and some of them brought the buckets from the boat. Pass the river water pouring into the cabin bucket after bucket.

The division of labor is orderly, some people block the hole, and naturally there are others who want to fight the incoming enemy. The few Guards officers and soldiers who can swim have quickly taken off their armor, and went down the hole from the hole with a big knife. It is already winter. , the river was cold, but at this moment he didn’t care much about it. Xuanyuan Sheng just took off his armor two or three times, and was about to dive into the water, but was stopped by two guards, who dissuaded him: "My lord, the underwater situation is unknown. Don't take risks lightly."

Xuanyuan Sheng frowned and said with a sneer: "Is this general still afraid of them?"

"Master Yunwei, that's not what he said." The subordinate persuaded: "We don't know the details of the enemy, and we don't know how many of them there are. Your lord is the leader of the dragons. At this time, There must be nothing wrong, it is related to the overall situation, and Lord Yunwei please think twice."

Xuanyuan Sheng thought that this was true. Since he dared to attack the guards, the enemy was definitely not ordinary. I am afraid there were quite a few of them. It is not clear how many enemies there are under the water. Now the guards The army was on the river, and the situation was critical, and he himself could not show his courage. At this time, nearly ten guards had already dived into the bottom of the water, and the others quickly dealt with the holes.

Xuanyuan Sheng thought to himself that this gang of enemies is really sinister. There is no one on the bottom of the cabin, and on a stormy night, even if the bottom is cut through, the people above will not be able to hear the movement below. The timing chosen by the other party is very favorable to them. , it seems that he has been prepared for a long time, and he is wondering what the other party is, suddenly his eyebrows frowned, and he lost his voice: "Not good!"

"What's wrong, sir?"

"I'm afraid we've been fooled." Xuanyuan Shengcai immediately went to the hatch, "Master Chu, Master Chu's side... They're making a fuss... Hurry up, Master Chu is in danger...!"

Standing at the bow of the boat, Chu Huan saw Xuanyuan Shengcai's figure flickering and the official boat shaking, so he knew that there must be something wrong with the bottom of the boat.

His expression was serious, and at this moment, footsteps sounded behind him, Chu Huan turned his head, and the boatman wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat was walking quickly. It was Chu Huan who sent to the stern to inform the boatman of the rear boat. Before the boatman approached, he had asked Said: "What's going on in the future?"

The boatman came over quickly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, everything...!" Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly stretched out a hand, and suddenly there was a sharp dagger in his hand, and he stabbed straight at Chu Huan .

Chu Huan was surrounded by Sun Zikong and two guards, and there was another boatman standing on the side of the bow, but there was some distance between them. No one would have thought that this boatman would suddenly attack Chu Huan.

Sun Zikong had lost his voice and said: "Master, be careful...!" Before he finished speaking, the dagger in the boatman's hand was already close to Chu Huan's chest.

The boatman got it right away, his head was raised, his eyes were cold, but Chu Huan could see clearly at this moment that this person was not the boatman sent earlier, but someone else.

The dagger was close at hand, a sneer appeared on the corner of Chu Huan's mouth, he did not hide or dodge, the boatman was in joy, when he suddenly felt his wrist tighten, the edge of the dagger was already close to Chu Huan's skirt, at this moment, his wrist But Chu Huan had already caught him, and the boatman was taken aback. He never expected that Chu Huan's reaction would be so shocking, and even less that Chu Huan's speed would be so shocking. Before he had time to think, he heard Chu Huan sternly shout: " Courting death...!" One leg has already been raised, and when it restrains the opponent's dagger, it has already kicked the person's lower abdomen.

The man felt as if his lower abdomen had been hit by a wild bull, and he flew straight out. With a "bang", he landed heavily on the deck, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was already half dead.

The two guards had already rushed forward. At this time, a voice came from near the cabin: "My lord, be careful, there are enemies coming...!" It was the camel passengers who were patrolling the ship who found the enemy and shouted. It has also started.

Two Guards soldiers stepped forward to capture the assassin disguised as a boatman, but before they got close, they heard noises from both sides. Looking left and right, they saw five or six people turned over from both sides of the boat, all of them were wearing tight-fitting clothes. In the water jacket, with his face covered, he turned over the side of the boat, without saying a word, and regardless of the assassin lying on the ground, he rushed towards Chu Huan without saying a word.

At this time, Chu Huan already knew well that the assassination on the river tonight was obviously aimed at him.

It seems that I committed a crime against the Jingjiang River. This is the second time I have walked across the Jingjiang River, but both times I encountered accidents.

When they set off, everyone took into account Chu Huan's status as an imperial envoy, so they arranged as many people as possible on other ships to give Chu Huan a wide space and a quiet environment.

This was originally a good intention of everyone, but who knew that at this time, the good thing turned into a bad thing. Although the boat was quiet, but when the assassins attacked, there were fewer guards.

The two camel passengers were obviously entangled by people, fighting over there, unable to cope for a while, the boatman at the bow was already ashen-faced, squatting down and shrunk to the bow of the boat, not daring to move, but Sun Zikong saw this situation , although he was afraid, he still bravely rushed to Chu Huan. Just now, Chu Huan ordered everyone to be on guard, and Sun Zikong also took a big knife in his hand, but his martial arts were really unbelievable. Several assassins rushed over, Sun Zikong gritted his teeth and wanted to go up to him, but he was pulled behind him by Chu Huan, and said in a deep voice, "Protect yourself...!" Facing several assassins, Chu Huan had no fear on his face, his eyes were cold, and he drank the knife with blood Already in his hand, like a cheetah, facing an assassin rushing forward, he slashed with the horizontal knife.

The assassin raised his knife to block it, and there was a sound of "choking", the blades met, sparks splashed, and the assassin was shocked to find that after the knife, the knife in his hand was alive by Chu Huan's blood. Cut into two, he was stunned, the knife flashed, and Chu Huan's blood-drinking knife had already been swiped. From then on, it passed across the man's chest. Opening up.

Chu Huan kicked the man away with one kick, and flew out, knocking an assassin behind him into the air. After Chu Huan shot, it was done in one go, extremely smooth and amazing.

All the assassins paused, and someone said in a deep voice: "Be careful with his knife...!"

At this moment, the two guards didn't care about the assassins disguised as boatmen on the ground, they turned around with their knives in their hands, and the two assassins went forward to fight with the guards.

The four assassins surrounded Chu Huan, their blades were blazing. These people's blade skills were not weak, and they cooperated tacitly. Surrounded by Chu Huan, one against four, he was not at a disadvantage.

Sun Zikong was beside him very anxious, but he was weak in martial arts. He saw the shadows in front of him like ghosts, with swords shining, and knew that he would only seek his own death if he went forward, and he might drag Chu Huan with him. He shouted towards the front: "Come on, there are assassins here...!" At this time, the rain in the sky was getting heavier, the wind was heavy and the rain was heavy, and there was even a faint sound of thunder. Sun Zikong turned his head, and a flash of lightning suddenly struck However, Sun Zikong suddenly saw a person appearing on the top of the cabin at some time. This person was also wearing a black water suit, his face was covered, and he was holding a strange-looking big knife in his hand. In the midst of the lightning, the man's eyes were cold and terrifying, full of murderous intent.
