in the edge

Chapter 156: How can a weapon be such an inconvenient thing?
Experienced assassins often choose to launch sneak attacks when people are most relaxed.

The most common one is naturally when sleeping. People in sleep have almost no ability to resist. Of course, because this weakness is so obvious, many people will make preparations in advance to ensure their own safety.However, as the saying goes, the devil is as high as the Taoist. If the target is assassinated, the assassin will naturally have countermeasures.

Just like now, the assassins chose to take action while eating.

As an imperial envoy, the old eunuch will naturally not take any ordinary boat when he goes back. Not only is this ferry much more spacious, he can also eat some aquatic products and river fresh food on the way. Although at Du Chengfeng's insistent request, they should have eaten them raw. The fish meat was forced to be cooked on the small tea stove, but after thinking about it, the old eunuch still did not accuse Du Chengfeng of such a wasteful behavior.

"If it's mainly raw fish, there may be parasites in it."

Seeing the old eunuch's regretful look, Du Chengfeng felt that he needed to popularize health knowledge.

"Just, although those insect eggs are so small that they are invisible to the eyes, they will still grow in the body after being eaten. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, the monks who practice Buddhism also said that a drop of water can give you eighty-four thousand lives."

Hearing what Du Chengfeng said, the old eunuch couldn't help but nod his head.

"I didn't expect that a strong man actually understands Buddhism... In other words, boiling it with boiling water is the way to dispel evil spirits and achieve salvation in the afterlife?"

"...Just take it as such."

Du Chengfeng touched his nose and couldn't explain any more.

People can't understand things beyond their own knowledge. Just like now, if he wants to completely explain this matter to the old eunuch, I'm afraid he has to put out a microscope and let the old eunuch see it with his own eyes. ——But this is obviously too much trouble. It’s just a meal, so why should it be so serious?

So just let the old eunuch maintain his current understanding. Although this matter itself has nothing to do with Buddhism, at least in terms of results, the old eunuch understands that fish must be cooked before eating.

"So you go ahead and eat. Why are you shaking your legs?"

After picking up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and putting it into his mouth, Du Chengfeng greeted the old eunuch.

If he were on land, Du Chengfeng wouldn't care about these minor problems, but now on the ship, if the old eunuch shakes his legs, the entire deck will tremble, making him so It’s hard to even eat anything.

You must know that he has a lot of guys on the boat right now, from war horses to saddlebags, and those bunch of guys. If someone accidentally drops something into the water... it would be too scary.

So even if it was just to have a good meal, he had to say something.

But after hearing Du Chengfeng's reminder, the old eunuch also looked puzzled.

"We don't shake our legs, do we?"

The old eunuch was very puzzled. You must know that he has been in the palace since he was a child, and the basic etiquette rules are engraved in his bones. Although he is not in the palace now and can relax a little, it is impossible for him to do this kind of shaking his legs while eating. Things are coming.

"Wait a minute, are you saying the boat is rocking?"

The old eunuch suddenly thought of something.

At this time, the boatman who was operating the boat was already lying on the side of the boat and yelling.

"The boat is leaking! Someone is cutting the boat..."

Before he finished speaking, a flying knife was nailed directly to the boatman's throat.

At the same time, the men in black who emerged from the water also threw darts at Du Chengfeng and the old eunuch. Dozens of darts covered the sky and the scene was really bluffing.

But it's just bluffing. These cross darts shot from the water may be able to kill ordinary people, but this level of attack is too different for the two of them - Du Chengfeng doesn't even bother to draw his sword. To block, he just rolled up his robe, and all those darts were blocked by the old short blade hidden in the old robe.

On the other hand, the old eunuch put his hands into his sleeves and pulled, and dozens of tough silk threads rolled down the darts in the air, and even rolled back a few darts with his backhand.

Du Chengfeng's eyes widened when he saw the blood floating in the river.

"Your style is a bit interesting." "We are not allowed to wear weapons without permission in the palace, and our family has to protect the master at critical moments, so we learned this unsavory thing. It makes the strong man laugh."

Although he said this, just looking at the familiarity with which the old eunuch manipulated the silk thread, it was obvious that the kung fu on the silk thread was not some inferior martial arts.

Therefore, with the combined efforts of Du Chengfeng and the old eunuch, the assassins who tried to sneak up along the side of the ship were all killed in just a moment - however, the killing was smooth on their side, but it was so long. The river water that entered the boat was already up to the feet.

"This……"

After looking at the ferry that was about to sink, and then at the horses and weapons still on board, Du Chengfeng didn't know whether he should jump off the ship or not.

If he jumped from the boat, he might be able to survive, but this pile of things and the horse would all fall into the water.But if he didn't jump off the ship... would he accompany the ferry that was about to sink and be buried at the bottom of the river?
It was at this time that Du Chengfeng truly realized how dangerous this crossing of the river was.

This turbulent river is now sharper than any weapon!
However, at this moment, the old eunuch shook his head.

"No problem, let's show the strong man what we are capable of!"

Saying this, the old eunuch hooked up the thread with his fingers and danced wildly. For a moment, he actually weaved a small boat with silk thread in the air!
"Get on board!"

"Impressive!"

Du Chengfeng quickly moved his horse to the boat, and even brought over the fish fillets that he had not finished eating just now.

Not long after he arrived, the ferry boat behind him gradually sank into the water.

Looking at the top of the ship that had not completely sunk, even though Du Chengfeng was brave, he couldn't help but feel a little scared at this moment.

At this moment, he was actually a little lucky that there were no masters who were good at water fighting among the assassins. If the boat was torn apart by the evil spirit and he fell into the water on the spot, would he really be able to come out alive?
River water can actually be used as a weapon.

Even the most dangerous weapon!

"Unless I can find a way to defeat the river..."

Looking at the roaring river outside the boat, Du Chengfeng tightened his grip on the Overlord Halberd in his hand.

"Not enough, still not enough."

"Strong man, what's wrong with you?"

The naked old eunuch squatted in the corner of the boat with his arms folded.

"Haven't all the thieves been killed?"

"fine……"

Although he said this, Du Chengfeng's face was still as gloomy as water.

He has walked this road, but he still remembers that there is a big river to cross south of the Huai River.

　The first update is here. Today is a long-awaited training day. I haven’t practiced for a few days, so my physical fitness has declined. The sledgehammer I swing has dropped from 12kg to 10kg.

　　Today is the last day of the two chapters and [-] words of rest. I should be able to write more tomorrow.

　　Another: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your encouragement and support.

　　I also recommend a book, "Time is Great" written by a friend. I haven't read the book yet, and I don't know what the story is. If you are interested, you can click in and read it. I will tell you later whether it is interesting or not. If so, I'll go and torture him in a private chat.
