() Chu Huan jumped off the side of the boat and handed the bow and arrow to Sun Zikong. At this time, his whole body was soaked and his expression was as cold as winter rain. He asked, "Are there any casualties?"

Sun Zikong glanced back, only to see a Guards soldier lying motionless by the side of the cabin, this soldier had been wounded in the wrist by a strange swordman before, and naturally lost to the assassin after he let go of the sword, so Sun Zikong walked over and squatted down. Next, I saw an incision in the soldier's neck artery, the main artery was bleeding, but in the heavy rain, the blood was washed away by the rain, and the rain was mixed with blood on the deck. The soldier's eyes were closed and his face was pale. He sniffed, then looked at Chu Huan and shook his head.

Chu Huan frowned, and a stern light flashed in his eyes.

By the time Xuanyuan Sheng got on the boat, they had already evacuated. On board Chu Huan, one died and two were injured. The other boatman was nowhere to be found. Chu Huan knew that the boatman had been killed.

"My lord...!" Seeing Chu Huan's unsightly expression, Xuanyuan Sheng felt a little guilty, "The general will dereliction of duty, please...!"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan shook his head and said, "General Xuanyuan doesn't need to blame himself. These people are scheming and scheming, and they have plots, so they are hard to guard against." He asked, "Are there any casualties on your side?"

Xuanyuan Sheng shook his head and said, "I haven't counted yet, but the last general killed an assassin with his own hands."

"This group of people acted in a tacit understanding. They came suddenly, walked quickly, and were well-trained. They are definitely not a mob." Standing in the heavy rain, Chu Huan said, "General Xuanyuan, order the official ship to approach the shore...!" Looked around , saw a boatman, beckoned him to come over, and asked, "Do you know where this place is?"

The boatman hurriedly said: "My lord, this is about to enter the territory of Anyi, but it still belongs to the territory of Xishan Road. This should be the ground of Jiushui County. After passing through Jiushui County, you will enter Xiafeng County of Anyi Road."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and said to Xuanyuan Shengcai: "Regardless of whether there is an ambush in the waterway or not, we can no longer proceed through the waterway. The bottom of your cabin has been cut through, and even if it is repaired temporarily, it may not be safe. We brothers, familiar with There are not many aquatic ones, if the official ship itself is not safe, then it must not take risks."

Xuanyuan Sheng nodded and said: "Everything is up to the adults." At this time, several officers and soldiers had already boarded the boat, and Xuanyuan Sheng ordered everyone to find a nearby place where the boat could stop and dock.

Although the assassins made a lot of noise tonight and pierced the bottoms of several other official ships to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, but fortunately these guards are well-trained and don't panic when things happen. Of course, because of the chaos on board, many people ignored On Chu Huan's side, due to timely repairs and the small number of assassins, it was impossible to launch a large-scale attack, so there was no problem of the official ship being silent.

Ye Yu was bleak and cold, everyone didn't care where the enemy came from at this time, they could only look for a place to dock for the time being, and finally found a place to dock, four official ships docked one after another, the officers and soldiers quickly moved the things on board to the shore, Immediately counting the number of people, Chu Huan finally learned that although the loss tonight was not large, four guards died on the Jingjiang River. They were killed during the battle. Although they had a slight sense of water and sneaked into the water to find the enemy, they were not good at underwater combat. They died underwater during the underwater fight, and their companions searched for the corpses on the river.

Xuanyuan Shengcai's face was ugly. This was the first time he was in such a mess. His duty was to protect Chu Huan's safety, but this time before he entered Anyi territory, Chu Huan was almost assassinated. The result was really unpredictable, and four elite soldiers of the empire were buried in this assassination, and they didn't even know who the enemy was, which made Xuanyuan Sheng angry.

When everyone was moving things ashore, Chu Huan had already sent a cavalry team of ten to the county yamen of Jiushui County and notified Jiushui County to send a doctor.

Four guards were killed in battle, and another four or five were injured, two of whom were not seriously injured, and their companions could only temporarily help with bandaging.

The rain was a little lighter, and the soldiers had quickly set up tents on the shore. At this time, it was difficult to discern the direction of Jiushui County in the middle of the night.

Xuanyuan Shengcai and Chu Huan both changed into dry clothes and were in the same tent. A lantern was hung in the tent. Although it was not very bright, it was still usable.

When Xuanyuan Shengcai came, Chu Huan was standing in front of the tent thoughtfully. When he saw Xuanyuan Shengcai, Chu Huan asked, "Can General Xuanyuan see who the assassin is tonight?"

Xuanyuan Sheng shook his head and said, "Jiangshang also found the bodies of two assassins. After searching for a long time, there was no usable clue." He clenched his fists, "Master, this group of people don't look like ordinary gangsters!"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "It's really not a mob." He frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Does General Xuanyuan know about swords?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"General Xuanyuan's family is a family of martial arts in the empire." Chu Huan said, "I must have a good understanding of martial arts between the court and the opposition."

Xuanyuan Shengcai nodded slightly: "The men in my Xuanyuan family have learned martial arts since childhood, and the Xuanyuan family has a special martial arts hall. Anyone who reaches the age of five must start to study in the martial arts hall. There will also be special courses to learn about the famous martial arts masters in the world, as well as famous weapons or horses from ancient times to the present, all of which must be dabbled in...!"

At the beginning, Chu Huan only thought about the generation of generals of the Xuanyuan family, but he just asked casually, but he didn't expect that there was such a school as Yanwu Hall inside the Xuanyuan family. And prestige, it is indeed not accidental, he asked: "Then General Xuanyuan must be very clear about the famous swords in the world."

Xuanyuan Sheng wondered, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Chu Huan didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "In today's world, which knives are the most famous?"

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Of course there are three knives, ghost knives, crazy knives, and domineering knives!" Then he smiled and pointed to the saber on Chu Huan's waist, "My lord, this blood-drinking knives is also a rare and famous knife in the world. , if judged purely from the weapons, the Three Swords itself may not be stronger than the Blood Drinking Sword, the prestige of the Three Swords is mainly because of the skill of the swordsman. General Kuang Dao Feng, have Master Chu seen it before?" He asked Quite suddenly, his eyes fixed on Chu Huan's. Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "When General Feng was alive, I had never entered the imperial court. I admired his name for a long time, but I didn't have the chance to see him."

Xuanyuan Shengcai said with a smile: "General Feng's mad sword is naturally famous all over the world. Ghost Sword Tianhou is the commander of the prince's guards. He got his name only because when General Feng was in Beijing, the prince suggested that Feng The general pointed out Tianhou's saber technique, but General Feng didn't refuse. After the two exchanged ideas, General Feng realized that this Tianhou's saber technique was indeed extraordinary. Those who could last fifty rounds under General Feng's mad sword were already regarded as one-of-a-kind. Waiting for a master swordsman, Tianhou fought with General Feng for nearly a hundred rounds, and was restrained by General Feng in the ninth round of No.90. Even so, that is already very remarkable. General Feng laughed and called Tianhou's swordsmanship a ghost Unpredictable and changeable, from then on Tian Hou has the name of Ghost Saber."

Chu Huan nodded and asked, "Has General Xuanyuan seen Ba Dao before?"

"Ba Dao?" Xuanyuan Sheng said with a smile: "Lord Chu, not only have I seen him, you should have seen him too."

"Me?" Chu Huan was taken aback, then shook his head and smiled, "General Xuanyuan, although I have heard of the name of breaking the sky with three swords and four spears, I have not seen many of them. The name, Ghost Saber Tianhou only knew about it not long ago, and I have seen it before, but I have never seen it as far as Ruo Ba Dao."

"I've seen it." Xuanyuan Sheng said with certainty: "Could it be possible that your lord has forgotten the Iron Blood Garden?"

Chu Huan was taken aback, but he hadn't forgotten the Iron Blood Garden. The Iron Blood Garden was located in the Daqin Palace, where His Majesty the Emperor practiced martial arts. When Chu Huan first entered Beijing, he passed three passes in the Iron Blood Garden, amazed everyone.

"Could it be that Ba Dao was also in the Iron Blood Garden that day?" Chu Huan understood a little bit.

Xuanyuan Sheng just nodded and said: "However, he came late, fortunately, my lord has seen it before."

"you are right?"

"Feng Yuanpo, who has now been conferred the title of Marquis of Loyalty by the Holy Majesty!" Xuanyuan Shengcai said in shock, "Don't you know, my lord, that guarding the northern part of the empire, Feng Yuanpo, the governor of Hexi Road, is the tyrant among the bows that break the sky with three swords and four guns?" knife!"

"Feng Yuanpo?" Chu Huan was really taken aback this time. In fact, the so-called three knives and four guns breaking the sky are just the eight masters judged by the court's internal jokes. Many generals in the court know it, but not everyone in the world knows it. The first time Chu Huan heard the name of breaking the sky bow with three swords and four guns was from Wei Tianqing. He practiced swords himself, so he naturally paid more attention to those who practiced swords. He knew that Kuang Dao was the deceased Feng Hanxiao He knew that Tianhou, the guard commander of the prince's mansion, was Ghost Sword, but he never thought that Ba Sword was actually Feng Yuanpo, the governor of Hexi Road who was flattering and flattering.

Xuanyuan Shengcai seemed to understand Chu Huan's thoughts, and said: "My lord, although this Feng Yuanpo seems to be a flatterer, his ability must not be underestimated. My lord, if he doesn't have some means, how can the Holy Majesty Send him on Hexi Road to guard the northern gate of the empire? Feng Yuanpo's father was originally a bandit, and later he joined the Holy Majesty. The father and son went to battle and killed the enemy, never ambiguous...!" Speaking of this, the strange With a strange smile, he asked, "Does your lord know what the father and son did in the past?"

Chu Huan shook his head.

Xuanyuan Shengcai showed a bit of contempt in the depths of his eyes, "Feng Yuanpo's father, before he became a bandit in the mountains, was a butcher who slaughtered dogs and pigs. He was a butcher and accumulated some wealth. There was a great chaos, and all the heroes came together. His father scattered all his wealth and recruited a group of people, who occupied the mountains as bandits, burned, killed, and looted. When the Holy Lord's army arrived, the Feng family and his son immediately joined the Holy Lord, and after that, both father and son would charge His Majesty admired this father and son very much, and always felt that this pair of father and son is simple and honest...!" Having said this, Xuanyuan Sheng couldn't help but sneer.

Chu Huan listened carefully, but he thought in his heart that the father and son of the Feng family were born butchers in the market, but they were able to take advantage of the trend, and then they followed the trend, seized the opportunity, and died to win the future. However, the vision and courage of this father and son are not comparable to ordinary people.
