I am the Dragon King of the Well

Chapter 420: We are all mixed up like this, is there anyone left to join us? (Two chapters in one)

Everyone wanted to go straight to Ansi Lake along the Xun River, but the intersection of the two was inexplicably blocked by a piece of silt.

Although there is still water flowing through, their boats are now full of heavy objects. The boats will inevitably sink as soon as they get on board, making it impossible to move left and right.

When all the water bandits saw this situation, they were all shocked.

It was fine when we arrived, but why did the river become clogged with siltation in just a few days?
This is equivalent to blocking their passage back to Ansi Lake and cutting off the foundation they rely on to save their lives.

Originally, the loss of food and grass overnight a few days ago made them suspect that it was the work of gods.Coupled with all the strange events in the past few days, the excitement of all the water bandits' seizure of property suddenly dissipated, and their morale plummeted.

If they cannot return to Ansi Lake, they will not be able to deal with the imperial navy. Waiting for the imperial court to come to their senses, they will have no choice but to wander around and be in panic all day long.

The young master's face turned pale. Even though he boasted of being full of wisdom and scheming, at this moment he seemed to feel that he was being targeted by God, and that there was a dark hand arranging all this.

"Let's dig a hole and let the ships pass."

The young man clenched his fists, his joints turning white. Even though he was in such a situation, he still refused to give up.

He had been preparing for a long time and was not willing to fall short just yet.

Fortunately, their ships are long and narrow, so as long as a ditch is dug, it should be possible to pass.

"Send the order. From now on, everyone will dig trenches. As long as you can dig this place out in one day, each of you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

The young man took a deep breath. Now that everyone's morale has dropped, they can only boost their morale with heavy rewards.

Sure enough, as he promised a large reward, everyone's mood became higher.

Under the command of the strong man at the head, a group of boats continued to approach the silt. Everyone jumped into the water and staggered on the silt. Since they did not have any tools, they dug with the weapons in their hands.

It's just that the mud blockage is also tricky, half of it is underwater, and everyone can't use their strength underwater. They spent a long time trying, but with little effect.

"I heard that the reincarnation of [Lian Zhenxing] has always been paranoid and never looked back. I didn't expect this rumor to be true."

Qiu Ping watched this scene from a distance and subconsciously touched the whiskers on his lips.

"However, I still expect you to make a knife for me so that it doesn't collapse so quickly. Come on."

Qiu Ping had a smile on his face, and then he waved his hand, and a strong wind blew up out of thin air.

The water bandits were still struggling to dig out the mud, and then they watched their boats drifting into the distance.

"Alas, the young master is still on the boat!"

"There are also money and food on the boat!"

The water bandits watched the ship slowly leave the shore, boosted by the wind, and continued to move into the distance, and immediately gave chase.

They quickly plunged into the water and chased the ship.

Thanks to the fact that these small boats were dragging a long string of sheepskin rafts behind them, they didn't move very fast, so they caught up quickly.

But the speed of the river seemed to suddenly become much faster at this moment. Even if they used their bamboo poles to slow down, these boats kept moving forward.

These ships moved all the way forward, and the water bandits could not control them. They had to watch the ships drift southward for hundreds of miles, and even arrived at the boundary of Xunjiang Mansion.

This is no longer their sphere of influence, and they rarely extend their hands here.

After these encounters, everyone had long suspected that they and others were being targeted by ghosts and gods. At this moment, they still had no fighting spirit. They didn’t even want the food on the ship. They just wanted to divide the money and disperse.

However, their large number of people also frightened the checkpoint into chaos. At that moment, everyone from the officials to the inspection officers gave up the government office and ran away.

After all, [For Tianmeng] has a good reputation. They have robbed several banknotes. How can these officials of the imperial court dare to confront them head-on?
"Sir, I see that this matter is quite strange. Let's go ashore."

Everyone stood on the boat, looking at the Chaoguan Yamen that had been evacuated, and they were also a little silent.

They felt that there were too many strange things happening in the past few days. In addition, the name of the "Generalissimo Supervising the World Water Transport" had been widely spread recently, and they became more and more unsure.

And the young master's eyes were at a loss at this moment. No matter what he did now, there always seemed to be a hand against them in the dark.

"Okay... let's go ashore and make plans."

After repeated blows, this reincarnation of [Lian Zhenxing] has no plans.

Even if he is the reincarnation of the Star Lord and is blessed with great fortune, there is no way out of his predicament when faced with a shameless immortal.

But just as they were about to go ashore, a gust of wind blew again, blowing everyone and the boat further south.

"Again...here again!"

Everyone's courage is gone. The wind is blowing so deliberately. Are they too lazy to cover themselves?

Some people have poor psychological quality and are unwilling to go through this trouble anymore, so they dive into the water.

"Boom."

It was obviously soft and rippling water, but their heads seemed to have hit a hard lump of ice. Blood flowed directly and their facial features were displaced.

"Ah... Grandpa River God, please forgive me. We will never dare to do lawless things again."

This scene seemed to be the last straw for everyone, and most people knelt down and begged for mercy.

But the ship ignored them and continued to move away.

Along the Xun River all the way to the south, there are nearly ten Chaoguan.

But fortunately, these checkpoints have long been in decay, and they have already encountered so many water bandits rushing down the river, running faster than anyone else.

Although the water bandits of the [Tiantian League] were terrified to death, they became famous. As the news spread more and more mysteriously, this group of water bandits numbered in the tens of thousands, rampaged several Caohe rivers, and broke through more than a dozen cities. The huge power of Chaoguan.

The court was furious and the people were panicked. Suddenly, the thirteen Caohe rivers under the Bashui system were in turmoil, and the negative atmosphere grew crazily.

Even though Qiu Ping's divine fire is getting stronger and stronger, there are still some signs that it can't be sustained.

After all, he had made bold promises to protect water transportation. Now water bandits are rampant. If he doesn't deal with it quickly, it will be a huge blow to his prestige.

And Qiu Ping had been teasing this group of people for so long, and now he knew it was time to harvest.

That's just right, it's time for a big one.

……

"Young... Young Master, why don't you eat some millet." The water bandits floated on the water for three days. Although they were only a few feet away from the shore, the distance was like a chasm. They used up everything they had these days. No matter how hard they try, they can't reach the shore.

For this reason, they lost more than a dozen people.

Everyone was desperate.Sometimes they saw people on the shore and shouted for help. But when the people on the shore saw so many vicious people, they dared not stay. They all ran faster than monkeys.

If you were just trapped on the ship, there would be nothing except losing your freedom.

But their ships were too small to make fire.A group of water bandits came out to rob, and they were naked, so they couldn't pretend to be angry.

Although they were dragging a large amount of grain, the unground millet was not only irritating but also painful to the stomach. Everyone's stomach was bloated, but they could not digest it.

"no need."

Although the young master had been hungry for a long time and had barely drank some river water in the past three days, he really couldn't take a bite of these rough grains.

He was born into a wealthy family and had been well clothed and well-fed since he was a child. How could he have endured such hardships?

It's a pity that he prides himself on being extremely resourceful and capable of transforming into a dragon and taking off when a storm hits him. However, before he succeeds, he encounters setbacks one after another, which has a huge impact on his self-confidence.

After the torment of the past few days, the strong man's energy was quite depressed at the moment. Looking at his appearance, he could only let out a long sigh.

"In front of us are all the heroes of the [Tiantian Alliance]."

Just when they were at their wits' end, a heroic voice suddenly came from behind them.

Everyone on the boat suddenly looked up, only to see more than a dozen boats emerging from the waterways in all directions. There were about a hundred people standing on them, each holding a weapon. The leader was strong and strong, and he looked very oppressive.

"Fellow heroes, we are the people of the water village [Qianjiang Jiao]. I heard that you heroes are so famous, so I came here today to seek refuge with you!"

Everyone on the shore performed courteous etiquette and reported their names.

Everyone in the Tianmeng League was not in the mood to take in their younger brother at the moment, so they all remained silent.

Everyone in [Qianjiang Jiao] is secretly unhappy, why are these people so arrogant? Although we are not as big as your [Titian League] family, we still have countless good players, how can we be so contemptuous of us?
"Do you...do you have any food on you? We will exchange gold, silver, grain and grass with you."

After a long silence, the young master slowly spoke.

[Qianjiang Jiao] Everyone looked at each other, what is this request? We are discussing the merger, do you want food from us?
"I think they have been marching for several days in a hurry in order to break through the imperial court as quickly as possible. They have exhausted all their dry food and the looted food cannot be eaten directly. That's why I say this."

Beside the rough man, a wizened old man dressed as a fortune teller said.

"They are worthy of being the elite of the world. In the past three days, they have traveled hundreds of miles in the water and experienced several battles, but their team has still not collapsed. Even at the peak of the Daqian Dynasty, they were still considered elite. "

When the rough man heard this, he had a look of understanding on his face, but he felt more and more admiration in his heart.

If his men and horses were used like this, I'm afraid the people below would have mutinied and become dissatisfied.

"Hurry up and bring food to all of you heroes. We have also heard of the name of [For Heaven Alliance], so these foods can be considered as gifts from us."

The rough man was also grand and spoke loudly.

Not long after, a few people held bamboo rafts and delivered some dry food to the people of the [Bitian Alliance].

In the past few days, the water bandits of the [Tiantian League] have been relying on eating grains to survive. Even when faced with these dry foods that they usually have little interest in, they still devour them with gleaming eyes.

"Sir, please eat some too."

A water bandit handed a piece of dry biscuit to the young man and spoke in a low voice.

The young master nodded, then broke open the big cake mixed with some wheat bran, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Maybe he was so hungry that he choked on his food.

After drinking several large mouthfuls of river water, he finally regained his composure.

"Thank you for the gift of food today. Here is 3000 taels of silver. Please accept it. As for the words of refuge, we are in panic all day long. How can we drag you into trouble again?"

The young master regained some strength, he and the people in [Qianjiang Jiao] cupped their hands and said.

The rough man's face changed slightly. They sincerely surrendered to him, but they didn't expect that others would still look down on them.

"Master of the village, although I, Chen Banxian, am not good at spiritual practice, my eyes are always good at seeing people. This person's luck is like a tide, and he is as bright as a star. He will definitely be a great figure who shakes the world in the future."

"I think that although he seems to be in a state of decline at the moment, as long as he breaks through this level, he will definitely skyrocket and turn into a dragon."

The fortune teller tugged on his sleeve and whispered.

If ordinary people like them want to do something great, they must follow the footsteps of heroes, borrow their luck, and use their power.

Hearing what Chen Banxian said, the rough man finally made up his mind to pay attention.

"I know that you are a little wary of us. In this case, I will follow you from a distance. If we encounter an encirclement and suppression by the imperial court, we are willing to fight the enemy together with you heroes."

The ancient sage kings had to pay three visits to the thatched cottages when facing the sages. As long as they stalked them, they would surely be able to find a way out of gold and stone.

"idiot."

The corner of the young man's mouth twitched. It's so hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. Since you want to die, then go ahead.

While they were talking, their boat went downstream for another ten miles.

The water bandits from [Qianjiang Jiao] did as they were told and followed from afar.

In this way, another few days passed.

However, behind them, the imperial navy finally followed up after a lot of trouble.

The Daqian court learned the lessons of the previous dynasty's demise and has been implementing the strategy of strong branches and weak branches.The Imperial Court's Beijing camp, the troops from all five directions, and the border troops were all considered elite.

However, there are very few troops stationed in these local prefectures and counties.

Although bandits abounded in various places and various small-scale uprisings emerged one after another, they could always be put down as long as the imperial army arrived.

Originally they thought that these water bandits transported by water were just a disease of mustard moss, so they mobilized some troops from various places and temporarily formed an army to suppress the bandits.

But as the situation intensified, they did not dare to encircle and suppress them easily, and could only continue to mobilize troops from various places.

It wasn't until more than [-] people were gathered that they bravely sent out troops.

But precisely because of the large number of people in the imperial court and the relatively small Cao River, coupled with the fact that the wind was favorable but not the current, the speed of their actions was simply touching.

But even though all the officers and soldiers were anxious, they could never catch up with the slippery bandits. They received urgent documents from their superiors every day, and they were impatient.

If these water bandits are allowed to wreak havoc, the court's prestige will decrease day by day.

"Damn, why are these water bandits running so fast! Raise the sails to the highest position. If we can't suppress the bandits, none of us will be able to escape!"
