Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 5
Wang Lvzi is a person who is very knowledgeable about affairs. If he came out alone, he could live up to the present, but he would not be able to survive if he had no eyesight. There is a canal connected to the moat outside the city, but can the two know water?"

Cui Jin patted his chest and said: "Our brothers can go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, what is a mere moat?"

Seeing what he said, Li Yue felt relieved. Although he knew how to do dog digging and barely drowned, it would definitely be inconvenient to walk by water for a long time.

Donkey Wang is so talkative now because the two of them threaten his life at any time. Once he goes into the water, the situation will change.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

"Both of you are young heroes!" Donkey Wang flattered him warmly. He took the remaining half of the donkey's meat and boned it and divided it into three parts. Each of the three took a piece.

Li Yue was even more uncertain about carrying something that weighed thirty to forty catties.

If Donkey Wang has any malicious intentions, wouldn't it be a cocoon for him to enter the water?
"Brother Donkey, please lead the way." Li Yue let him go ahead.

Donkey Wang walked in the front with the donkey meat on his back, with Li Yue and Cui Jin on one left and one on the right.

It is really easy to walk through the waterway, and the concealment is good. If there is a disturbance, you can directly retract into the water. It is also night, even if the people above hear the movement, they will not be able to see the waterway.

After evading two groups of patrolling people in a row, the three of them relaxed.

Wang Lvzi also talked more, "Both are young heroes, but it's a pity that they were born at the wrong time, and there is no such thing as a hero in the world."

It is Shi Le who is talking nonsense.

Born as a slave, he conquered the world for dozens of years and eventually became a generation of emperors.

When Shi Le was alive, the rent was reduced, the sentence was suspended, schools were opened, household registration was approved, and weights and measures were re-established, which restored some vitality to the scarred northern land.

"Hearing what you said, you are an extraordinary person, why didn't you go south and join the imperial court?" Cui Jin said seriously.

Donkey Wang stopped and asked, "Why did those two brothers gather together in the forest instead of going south to the court?"

The Yongjia Rebellion led to the southward travel, but it also intensified the conflict between the northern and southern people.

The Jiangzuo people gave the fugitive Beiren a very insulting and scornful name - 鼧子, which means a humble and mediocre person.

The people in Jiangzuo despise the northerners, that's all. Even the Sima family court who moved south is on guard against the northerners. There was Zuyue's rebellion before, and Sujun's rebellion later. It hasn't stopped for decades, and it has further intensified The rift between North and South.

In fact, it is not that the Eastern Jin Dynasty has no chance to regain their homeland, nor is it that there are no famous generals in the Northern Expedition, and it is not that the people in the Northern Lands do not miss the old dynasty, but the Sima family's court has been guilty since its establishment. They are more interested in infighting. During the Western Jin Dynasty Fighting, after Yiguan went south, the internal fighting became more and more tragic.

At that time, Zu Ti raised 3000 men for the Northern Expedition. He vowed to clear the Central Plains and drive out the barbarians. In several years, he regained the territory south of the Yellow River and defeated the stone tiger several times.

Seeing that the situation is very good, the Jiangzuo court let alone send troops to support them, as long as they don't cause chaos, and yell at the back, maybe Hebei will be regained.

But the Sima family is the Sima family after all, fearing that Zu Ti might grow stronger, they sent Dai Yuan as the general who conquered the west, the governor of Yanyu, the military governor of the six prefectures of Yongji, and the governor of Sizhou, which caused Zu Ti to die in grief...

Ordinary people without status and family background will not end well if they go south.

Cui Jin sighed and stopped talking.

There was only the sound of gurgling water around, and I don't know how long it had passed before Wang Luzi heard the footsteps and said in a low voice, "Here we are!"

A water gate blocked in front of the three of them.

There were faint lights of torches and scattered footsteps on the city wall.

Wang Lvzi shook his arm and was about to dive in, but Li Yue grabbed him and said, "Second brother, go and have a look underwater."

This guy was thinking too much, Li Yue didn't dare to let him go.

Cui Jin looked embarrassed, "Third brother, my brother... Poor water quality..."

"Didn't you just say that you can go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire?" Li Yue almost spat out old blood on his face.

"That's what I said, but the water is too cold and too deep... My brother grew up in the Northland..." Cui Jin's water skills are good, but she is probably the same as herself, only a few dog planing skills...

"Hahaha..." Donkey Wang laughed, his voice getting louder and louder.

"Shut up!" Li Yue just felt something was wrong, Wang Luzi laughed, and suddenly broke free from Li Yue's hand, and plunged down.

"Who?" The guard shouted angrily from the water gate.

A torch was thrown down, illuminating the faces of Li Yue and Cui Jin who were looking at each other in the water.

"There are people underwater!" The shout was accompanied by the sound of clappers.

"This king's donkey is really a fucking thing!" Li Yue cursed, and ran as soon as he ran, and deliberately alarmed the guards.

But if you think about it carefully, if you were yourself, I'm afraid you would do the same thing. From the beginning of the meeting, everyone went in and out with red knives.

I was on guard against Donkey Wang, and Donkey Wang must be on guard against himself everywhere!

The name Wang Lvzi doesn't even sound like his real name.

"What are you still doing? Come on!" Li Yue growled.

The only certainty is that it should be possible to escape underwater.

At this time, I don't care about the quality of the water. More than a dozen guards in the city are bending their bows and setting arrows, and another dozen people are rushing down the stone steps.

This time it fell into Ji Yong's hands, Li Yue had no confidence in surviving.

Zhang Shan must torture himself to death.

The two plunged down at the same time, the cold river water overflowed their heads, and a few sharp arrows flew past their scalps.

You can't see anything underwater, but fortunately there is only one way to pass.

Li Yue stretched out his hand to explore, and found that the underwater door was broken, and people could get through.

However, Li Yue was extra careful, fearing that Donkey Wang would be waiting in front of him, so he untied the donkey meat from his back and pushed it over.

Sure enough, as soon as the donkey meat was released, a black shadow rushed towards his face from behind the water gate, stabbing wildly with a three-inch honing knife in his hand.

Li Yue broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was careful, otherwise he would really have died at the hands of Wang Luzi this time.

People these days are really fucking cruel.

Donkey Wang stabbed more than a dozen knives, found that the hand felt wrong, and swam quickly to the distance. Li Yue held the kitchen knife and was about to catch up with the grandson and kill the grandson, but unexpectedly, his ankle was caught by Cui Jin behind him. .

With the light of the fire on the water gate, Cui Jin's panicked face could be vaguely seen.

Li Yue could only turn around and hugged him, and the two of them fled at the same time.

Almost holding his breath, he touched the wooden door.

Donkey Wang has long since disappeared.

The Jijiabao people behind were chasing after him, but their water skills were even worse, and they splashed in the river for a long time, but they didn't get any closer.

"It finally came out." Li Yue was ecstatic in his heart, and being alive was more important than anything else.

Following the current into the Sishui, he floated for almost an hour before there was no movement behind him.

Finding an open place to go ashore, Cui Jin was already choked up, and she was not sober.

Li Yue couldn't help but sigh with emotion at how strong this body is. He was injured, starved for a day, and struggled all night, but he didn't feel much tired until now.

When he took off his clothes, dark red scars had already formed on the wounds, and there seemed to be infinite power contained in the tendons all over his body.

The body is the capital, if a sick child, in this world, I am afraid that he will not survive for three days.

Ow—

A few whistles came from behind, and suddenly a dozen pairs of green eyes appeared in the dim wilderness, piercing like awls.

Li Yue was startled, only then did he see that it was a pack of wolves.

People are hungry these days, and animals are also hungry.

Li Yue gripped the kitchen knife tightly, but felt that it was too short, so he picked up Cui Jin's big sword.

The long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light shone like autumn water.

With a kitchen knife in his left hand and a big sword in his right, his heart felt much more at ease.

It's not a big problem to deal with a dozen wolves with the guy in his hand.

The pack of wolves formed a semi-encirclement, tried several times, but was intimidated by the long sword in Li Yue's hand.

They seem to understand human nature, knowing that this sword is not easy to mess with.

The confrontation lasted for less than half an hour. Seeing that the sky was bright, the sound of horseshoes came from the wilderness, and the wolves looked up to the south one after another.

But when he heard the sound of horseshoes, Li Yue was even more panicked.

Those who can ride horses nearby are either from Jijiabao or Xingyang City. The poor in Heiyun Mountain are all drinking northwest wind, so they must not be able to raise horses.

People can't support them these days, and those who can raise horses are not ordinary people.

Li Yue could only drag Cui Jin and hide in the water again. The tall aquatic plants completely blocked their tracks.

After a while, the figure of the cavalry appeared in the morning light.

Dark red iron armor, spears, bows and arrows drove a group of people. From the clothes, it could be seen that they were all Han Chinese, young, male and female, haggard and numb.

As they got closer, Li Yue could see clearly that the cavalry were all Jie people with deep eyes and high noses. There were more than 20 cavalry in total.

And the Han'er who got off the horse was driven like cattle and sheep.
