Under the sky

Chapter 73 Dangerous Rivers and Lakes
Yang Yan had heard of Qi Zigai's name, but had never actually seen him until now.When he looked up, he felt that the man was even taller. Yang Yan even felt that he was more than ten feet tall.

But he was also worried. Peng Xiaobei and Xuanxu, including Yan Feixi who was cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, and Peng Qianqi who was worse than a beast, were the people with the best martial arts skills he had ever seen.With his vision, he could not tell the strength of Peng Qianqi and the other three, but he would certainly not be surprised if Peng Qianqi could kill Xuanxu or Yan Feixi.

And Fang Jingjiu, who had tattoos on his face, might not be as good as these people, but he knew that this person was also very powerful.Even excluding these two, he looked around, including Huang Bai who was holding his hands to hold back his screams but sweating on his forehead, Peng Nansi who was lying on the ground not knowing whether to live or die, and Qian Kun who was killed by him. There are seven other people on the other side, and each of them is a master.Can Qi Zigai really cope with so many people?Or should he use his identity as the younger brother of the leader of Kongtong to suppress these people and make them afraid to take action?

There was a solemn atmosphere around the trail after Qi Zijie signed up, and there was no other sound except the rustling of weeds and leaves.Fang Jingjiu gently touched Yan Xuting's calf. This petition was issued by Yan Xuting on behalf of Huashan, and he was the protagonist.

Yan Xuting seemed to be shocked by the name Qi Zigai, and then he came back to his senses.He was already a little timid, but it wasn't because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to kill Qi Zigai. After all, he still had nine masters on his side. He really didn't believe that Qi Zigai had unparalleled magical powers and could defeat these people.But Qi Zigai is, after all, the younger brother of the current leader of the Kongtong clan. Can we really do anything to him?But if Peng Xiaobei is let go, not only will it be difficult for Xu Fangge to explain to him, but he will also have endless troubles for Huashan, and he will fall far behind his second brother in the race for the leadership.

"Third Master's reputation is as loud as thunder. I saw him today, and he is indeed well-deserved..." He said in his mouth, thinking in his mind how to use it to gain advantage, so that Qi Zigao would know the difficulty and retreat.

"Who are you?" Qi Zijian asked.Yan Xuting could only say: "I am Yan Xuting, and my father is Yan Feixi."

"I asked you who you are, but I didn't ask who your father is. If you don't use your father's name, wouldn't you be a person?" Qi Zigai frowned and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, fight, not roll!" Then he bent down and picked up Peng Xiaobei.

"Kill Beggar Peng!" Yan Xuting shouted loudly.He only said that killing Beggar Peng, as long as the goal was achieved, it didn't matter whether Qi Zigai lived or died.

Feiying Li Zixiu fired his spear and stabbed him first. Piaoran Liu Zhongbian slipped and slashed diagonally towards Qi Zigai's lower abdomen.Further behind, three groups of Peng Nan and an unknown old sword-wielding man attacked at the same time, followed by two empty-handed men behind them.

Qi Zigai took a step forward and reached out to grab Li Zixiu's spear. Li Zixiu struggled to pull it back, and suddenly a sharp pain occurred in his thigh. It was from the wound that Peng Xiaobei had cut before. The force rose from the ground, making the gun move completely free of charge. He kept his center of gravity on the lower body, but as soon as he lost his footing, his spear was immediately snatched away.Li Zixiu spent most of his time on the spear, and hurriedly backed away in shock. Qi Zijian did not turn the head of the spear over, but held the spear with both hands and swung it around his waist.The spear was a long weapon, and Liu Zhongren had already gotten close to him. The original length was not as good as the short one. He turned around his waist and just caught Liu Zhongren. He then clamped the spear with his right elbow and slapped the tail of the spear with his left hand. The spear head rushed forward, and he didn't know how to do it. The spear was holding dozens of spear flowers, covering Liu Zhongren's upper body.Liu Zhongren was about to parry, but unexpectedly, he felt a pain in his arm that he couldn't block. It was the injury caused by Peng Xiaogai's previous attack. Fortunately, Qinggong was his strong point, so he hurriedly wanted to withdraw from the battle circle.At this time, the tip of the gun was pressed against his chest. Liu Zhongren quickly tilted his body, and with a hiss, the clothes on his chest were torn. The cuts went from shallow to deep, and by the time they reached his shoulders, they had penetrated more than an inch into his flesh and blood.Liu Zhongren yelled and stepped back. If he had been a step slower, he might have been pierced through his chest. Even so, he covered the wound on his left shoulder, and there was a lot of blood, which showed that he was seriously injured.

The enemy was defeated in a flash of lightning. In addition to Qi Zigai's superb martial arts, another key factor was that Peng Xiaobei had already injured the opponent's foundation.At this time, Peng Nansan and the unknown old man wielding the sword had just grabbed it. The old man handed his long sword to Qi Zigai's chest, but Peng Nansan slashed at Peng Xiaobei on the ground.

Yang Yan saw Peng Nan slashing with his sword three times, and quickly covered Peng Xiaobeg's body.He had expected that Peng Nansan would not dare to kill him and would definitely stop using the knife, but he was wrong.Qi Zigai put the gun back around his back, and the tail of the gun penetrated from under his left side. Peng Nan couldn't even stop his hand three times before his eyes blurred, and he was knocked over with a "pop" sound.Qi Zigai immediately swung his spear to push back the old sword wielder. He knew that the opponent was a master and could not hold back. He turned his spear to make it difficult for the old sword wielder and the other two to approach.Peng Nansan was dazed by the shot, and reluctantly got up to join the battle.

Among the masters from the Huashan Diancang sect who were accompanying this time, apart from Fang Jingjiu, Liu Zhongren, Qian Kun, Huang Bai, and Li Zixiu had the highest martial arts skills. Now these four people were injured or dead and could no longer take action.Li Zixiu is an expert in using guns. When he saw that Qi Zijie didn't need to block, hold, or stab his gun, he just turned his iron gun into circles like halos. The rings were sometimes big and small, sometimes slanted and sometimes straight. Surrounding the body and sometimes protecting the front, it was much inferior to his versatile shooting skills. But even so, not to mention those four people, even if he had a gun in his hand, he would not be able to get even half a step closer.

After fighting for only a while, the halo suddenly shrank. Qi Zigai put his gun around his waist and turned it around. Just as the four men were about to approach, a silver light suddenly flew out of the halo.Qi Zigai let go of his right hand, thrust the gun forward with his left hand, and penetrated the chest of the old sword wielder.Before he could draw back his spear, the two men with empty hands had arrived. The one who punched had the power to break the monument, and the one who was flying was as fast as thunder. He punched his face and kicked his chest.Qi Zigai opened his right palm, raised his foot and kicked it out. Although he grabbed his fist, he could not avoid the kick to the chest.The man was very happy. Unexpectedly, the sole of his foot had just touched Qi Zigai's chest. Before he could reach his full strength, Qi Zigai's foot penetrated the heart and hit him in the middle of the chest. "Crack!" I don't know how many bones were broken. He fell out before he even had time to cry out. .

Qi Zigai's kick was not strong enough, but it still made him take a step back. The man whose fist he grabbed took advantage of the situation and tried to take his fist back, but was unable to move. Instead, Qi Zigai's step back caused him to fall forward.Qi Zigai leaned on his shoulder. He was a head taller than the man. What the shoulder bump hit was not his chest, but his chin. With a "snap", the man's head tilted, and his neck bones were actually broken.Peng Nansan took advantage of the opportunity and slashed with his knife. Just as he was proud that the knife could at least open a hole in the body of the world-famous Third Master, Qi Zigai pulled the corpse in front of him and slashed it with the knife.Peng Nansan missed the target, and saw his companion died tragically, with an earth-colored face. He immediately abandoned the knife, rolled and crawled back.

Before Qi Zigai could catch up, out of the corner of his eye he saw a figure passing by. Peng Qianqi did not attack him, but pounced directly on Qi Xiaofang.Qi Xiaofang saw the ugly man rushing toward him with quick and smooth movements. Just as he was about to scream, a silver light came from behind Peng Qianqi, but it was a spear thrown by Qi Zigai.Peng Qianqi turned around to block, sparks flew everywhere, and the gun flew far away, and he didn't know where it landed.Just as he fired his spear, another figure rushed towards him, but it was not Qi Zigai, but the body of the boxing master. Peng Qianqi shouted angrily and slashed the corpse in half with his knife. Only then did he see Qi Zigai approaching him with a punch. He called at the door.

If this punch hits, he is afraid that his head will be blown away. Peng Qianqi turns his head to the side, holds the sword in front of his chest and retreats. This move is to retreat and defend, guarding Zhongzang to attack. If Qi Zigai is chasing him, he can slash his arm with the sword. .It was difficult for Qi Zigai to pursue him, but with this delay, Peng Qianqi's plan to take hostages failed and he had to retreat to his original position.

Qi Zigai walked up to Qi Xiaofang, touched her head and said, "They are coming over, and you want to run away. Why are you standing there in a daze?"

Qi Xiaofang was frightened by Peng Qianqi's attack, and said with a pale face: "Xiaofang knows."

Yang Yan was stunned and saw that the man who had just been kicked away by Qi Zigai was twisting on the ground a few times, then stopped moving, and he was expected to be dead.Since Qi Zigai took action, he had already snatched one man's weapon, wounded one, and killed three in just a moment. He was originally surprised, but now he was pleasantly surprised. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that there was such a powerful person in the world.Only at this moment did he believe that Peng Xiaobei had a chance to escape.

Little did he know that the reason why Liu Zhongren and Li Zixiu were defeated so quickly was entirely because of Peng Xiaobei. Rather than saying that they were defeated at the hands of Qi Zigai, it would be better to say that Peng Xiaobei had already planted the seeds of their defeat.The remaining people are just figures like Peng Nansan. They are experts, but they are not top-notch.

Qi Zigai waved to Yang Yan and said, "Come here and protect my daughter."

So this girl is his daughter?Yang Yan frowned and looked at Peng Xiaobei in his arms.

"You protect my daughter, so I can protect Brother Peng. How about you protect Brother Peng, and I can protect my daughter?"

Yang Yan stood up quickly. His leg was broken and he walked with a limp.Qi Zigai was very surprised. This young man was covered in bruises and broken bones. Not only was he not unconscious, but he could still walk without changing his expression?

He raised his eyebrows, stepped forward to pick up Yang Yan, and gently placed him next to Qi Xiaofang.Yang Yan held a knife in front of Xiaofang to protect him. Qi Zigai took a few steps forward and asked, "Who else is coming?"

Yan Xuting's face was pale. In this world, being the best in the world was worthless, and no one wanted to fight for it.He originally thought that his father, even if he was not the best in the world, was not far behind, but Qi Zigai was beyond his expectation. At this time, he was at a loss. He didn't know whether to send troops to propose a toast or to withdraw his horses and flee to recruit troops.

"Young Master just gave the wrong instructions. You shouldn't kill Beggar Peng first." Fang toasted and got off his horse, "You should hold off the Third Master and send people to find reinforcements. No matter how powerful the Third Master is, he can't defeat a large number of people." He said, He walked forward slowly and stood next to Peng Qianqi, holding the long and short swords at his waist with both hands.

"A toast with the Dragon-Slaying Sword Party?" Qi Zigai picked up the black knife from Peng Xiaobeg's hand and placed it across his chest, "Together?"

Fang toasted and nodded.

Qi Ziguan raised his eyebrows: "You all have problems with your mouth, so it's quite appropriate."

Peng Qianqi shouted loudly and slashed with his knife. Fang Jingjiu dwarfed and ran out.Although he stepped out one step too late, he approached one step too quickly, slashed down with the long sword, and stabbed Qi Zigai under the ribs with the short sword. The moment he struck out, he transformed into a "dragon-snake transformation".

Logically speaking, to break the "Dragon-Snake Transformation", one must first dodge the short sword and then block the long sword, but this is not the case for Qi Zigai.He avoided the long sword and slashed at the dagger. The swords were in sync with each other. Fang Jingjiu's dagger was strained and the tiger's mouth was numb. But he was a master after all. When he turned around, he pulled out the long sword again and handed over the dagger.At this time, Qi Zigai had already exchanged a move with Peng Qianqi, sideways avoiding Fang Jingjiu's long sword, and then colliding with his short sword.

The three of them were fighting together in the blink of an eye, rolling over and over with dozens of moves, but seeing the light of swords and shadows, each had its own danger.Yang Yan was guarding Qi Xiaofang, and was about to scream when he saw Qi Zigai in danger, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Qi Zigai had already avoided the crisis, but Peng Qianqi was about to be killed by the knife.But before he could change his mind about cheering, the stinky wolf tried again. Instead, Fang toasted and died in the blink of an eye.Just when he was about to feel relieved, he turned back into Qi Zigai and fell into decline.But no matter how bad the situation was, Qi Zigai could always turn the danger into safety. Watching him suddenly felt happy and sad, frightened and laughed, his heartbeat kept beating, and he really wanted to turn his head away.

But he also knew that watching the duels between these masters was very helpful for his actual combat experience. Although he didn't know how they changed their moves, he could remember how many they had, and he would study them later.

Yan Xuting's thoughts on the other side were almost the same as Yang Yan's. Even though it was a cold night in October, he was still sweating profusely.

The trend of Five Tigers Breaking the Gate is mainly strong, but the changes of dragon and snake are unpredictable. Peng Qianqi is the leader of the school, and he is only in the same league with Yan Feixi, Xu Fangge and others. Fang Jingjiu is also a top master, Qi Zigai is a martial arts master. No matter how high you are, it is difficult to defeat two people in one fell swoop. Even if the two have a little tacit understanding, it is not impossible to defeat Qi Zigai.

But these two people have absolutely no tacit understanding. They basically work on their own terms. Not only do they ignore the comrades around them, they don't make up for each other or cover each other, they even have a hand in hand when Qi Ziguan is in danger. .But it would be wrong to say that these two people had reservations. If Qi Zigai had a slight advantage, the two of them would pursue it with all their strength.

The fight ended like this because the two of them were very clear-minded. With Qi Zigai's martial arts skills, they really wanted to fight with their lives. Even if they killed Qi Zigai, it would most likely cost the life of one of them.It goes without saying that Peng Qianqi is afraid of death, and Fang Jingjiu would rather block a knife for a dog than die for Peng Qianqi. So both of them want to win, but they also want to avoid Qi Zigai's near-death blow.

However, even if Qi Zigai cannot be killed in one fell swoop, if he keeps dragging on, it will depend on who is exhausted first.Although Qi Zigai's skills were deep, the loss of one against two would be huge. If he could be delayed until he couldn't hold on any longer, he might be able to avoid his near-death blow, or even only be injured but not killed. This was the best result.

Qi Zichai has long been aware of these thoughts. On the night of life and death, he was outnumbered and he knew that most of the evil people were unwilling to sacrifice themselves for others. Every time he was besieged, he expected others to die first, but he easily defeated them one by one.

The three of them fought for more than ten more moves. Qi Zigai and Fang Jingjiu exchanged daggers seven or eight times. Fang Jingjiu felt that the force of each impact was so great that there was a soreness and numbness in his palms.At the ninth time of the fight, Qi Zigai let out a long roar, took a deep breath, his muscles surged, his sword force changed, and he used the sword instead of the sword, and used the Nine Orders of Dragon City "Twilight Scaled Armor" to strike at Peng Qianqi. .Peng Qianqi felt that the sky was full of knives, and they were unpredictable. Instead of trying to dodge, it was better to break them with force. The knife stabbed forward, and his wrist turned, turning up layers of knives from small to large.This move "Tiger Attacks the Country" is one of the three major killing moves in the Five Tigers Cutting the Door sword, along with "Zong Heng Tian Xia". With two "swish" sounds, Peng Qianqi was hit once in the chest and Qi Zigai in the shoulder. Although the wound was not deep, Peng Qianqi was hit by two swords. But she was afraid that he would give her all, so she hurriedly withdrew.

Qi Zigai waited for him to retreat. At this time, he attacked Peng Qianqi with all his strength. The door behind him was wide open, and Fang Jingjiu slashed with his long sword. The dagger had already blocked his retreat and was about to stab his lower abdomen as soon as he turned around to dodge.Unexpectedly, although Qi Zigai turned around, he did not dodge. He raised his knife to block the long sword. At the moment when the dagger pierced his lower abdomen, he clasped his left thumb with his index finger and flicked the dagger towards the dagger. This was Kongtong's unique skill: snapping his fingers and flicking the dagger!

Fang Jingjiu felt a huge force hit him. His fingers and palms were already sore and numb, and he could no longer hold it. The dagger made a cut in Qi Zigai's lower abdomen and was then ejected far away. He sank into the grass beside the road, which was unusually unusual. A person can throw it far with his hands.

As soon as Fang Jingjiu lost his dagger, he immediately protected his long sword in front of his chest and jumped back.Peng Qianqi happened to make up for it, and Qi Zigai no longer had any worries. He crossed his swords and made several big circles in a row.He originally planned to shock Peng Qianqi's weapon, but Peng Qianqi was really powerful and unique in swordsmanship. With a "click", the two swords of the two of them were wound up to the sky at the same time.Qi Zigai took a step forward, clasped Peng Qianqi's right wrist with his left hand, and punched out with his right hand. Peng Qianqi stretched out his palm to block it. Where he could not block it, he was hit hard on the left side of the chin by a pair of palms. He was suddenly dizzy. Fortunately, it was the left side. , has long lost its teeth.

Qi Zigai twisted his arm with his left hand, kicked his ribs with his left foot, and punched him again with his right hand. This was a posture that would kill him.Peng Qianqi's boxing and kicking skills were not as good as his, but he had deep internal strength and was calm in the face of danger. Liguan's left hand twitched backwards, and with a "click" sound, the joints loosened. He just broke free from Qi Zigai's restraints, pointed his toes, and hurriedly retreated backwards.Although he was fat, he was agile and could avoid a kick to his side. The punch that hit his chin only missed his chest.Peng Qianqi snorted, obviously injured, but he retreated quickly, did a backflip and got on the horse, and said angrily: "Qi Zigai, Peng Tianfang's grandson is still in my hands, waiting for you to save him!"

He was so angry that he rode away without saying hello to Yan Xuting, regardless of whether his two sons lived or died.Yang Yan roared angrily: "He killed the chief helmsman's son and dug his grandfather's grave. We can't let him escape!"

Qi Zigai was shocked, but remained calm and asked the others: "Why don't you leave, wait for me to send you on your way?"

As early as when he first took over, Qi Zigai knew that although Fang Jingjiu's martial arts was high, his skill was inferior to Peng Qianqi's. He kept hitting Fang Jingjiu's dagger, using Hunyuan Zhenqi to protect his body, and used his fingers to knock the dagger away.It was also Peng Qianqi and Fang Jingjiu who were too uncooperative. If Li Jingfeng and Yang Yan had joined forces in the same effort, one was chivalrous and courageous, the other was merciless. The two looked after each other and worked hard without caring about their own lives. Maybe even the third master would have a chance to win.

At this time, the victory has been decided. Qi Zigai only suffered minor flesh injuries and his fighting power was completely intact. However, Fang Jingjiu lost his dagger. The "dragon-snake transformation" only left the dragon, not the snake, so what else could he do?

Li Zixiu supported Liu Zhongren and Huang Bai covered their hands and mounted their horses respectively. Peng Nansan got on his horse early because he was afraid that Qi Zigai would investigate him for the attack on Peng Nanyi that day.Pity his brother Peng Nansi, no one even looked to see if he was dead.

Fang Jingjiu got on the horse and said, "Master, let's go." Yan Xuting stared at Qi Xiaofang behind Yang Yan. Hearing Fang Jingjiu's words, he softly said "hmm" but made no move.Fang Jingjiu followed his gaze and called out, "Master." Then Yan Xuting reluctantly turned his horse's head and left with Fang Jingjiu.

Seeing the other party leaving one after another, Yang Yan asked anxiously: "Why did you let that stinky wolf run away?"

Qi Zigai said: "The stinky wolf is not that easy to kill. If I catch up with you, will you still be alive?"

Yang Yan knew that what he said was right, but he felt sad and angry and couldn't help but lower his head.Seeing that he was sad, Xiaofang went around to him and wanted to comfort him. Suddenly, he looked frightened and inexplicable. He knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to Yang Yan and shouted: "Sa God! Sa God! Fire shines in the world and illuminates all living beings! Sa God. God is merciful and forgives Shasri; God Sa is merciful and forgives my adoptive father!”

Yang Yan was shocked when he saw her kneeling down and quickly tried to help her up.However, now that the powerful enemy was gone, he relaxed and took a step forward. His feet were weak and he fell to the ground.

Qi Zigai shouted: "Xiaofang, don't talk nonsense!"

Xiaofang was scolded by his adoptive father and was so anxious that he almost cried. He just pointed at Yang Yan and said: "Sa God! Sa God!"

Qi Zigai glanced at Yang Yan and said, "He just has red eyes. Didn't he tell you to stop talking nonsense?!"

Yang Yan also said hurriedly: "My name is Yang Yan, not Sa. Don't kneel down, I can't bear it! Your father saved my life, so I have to kneel down to you!"

Xiaofang looked at Yang Yan carefully and asked, "Aren't you the God of Sa?"

Yang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "No!"

"Besides, God Sa, I won't give you eggs for breakfast tomorrow!" Qi Zigai shouted.This threat was indeed effective. Xiaofang stood up quickly and stopped talking.

"If you don't leave, they will bring people back." Qi Zigai helped Yang Yan get on the horse and asked, "Can I ride a horse?"

Although Yang Yan was injured all over his body, he still nodded.

Qi Zigai placed Peng Xiaobeg horizontally on the saddle, got on his horse, and said: "Hurry up, when they lead their troops to catch up, even I can't protect you." He then pointed at the horses left by Yan Xuting and others, and said to Xiaofang , "You can ride a horse and keep up, okay?"

Qi Xiaofang nodded. She had lived in the border gate for half a year, learned some equestrian skills, and went to lead the horse.Qi Zigai was worried about the injuries of Peng Xiaobei and Yang Yan. He clamped his legs and Xiaobai took a step forward, followed by Yang Yan.

Qi Xiaofang was about to mount his horse when he suddenly heard a faint moan and couldn't help but turn his head to look.That moaning sound was made by Peng Nansi. It turned out that Qi Zi didn't know the origin before, so he didn't kill him. That kick only broke a few of his bones. He just woke up at this time.

Qi Xiaofang was startled and very frightened. He turned around and looked at the back of Qi Ziguan who had walked thirty or forty feet away.She wanted to call Qi Zigai, but she kept silent. As if she had made up her mind, she walked to Peng Nansi and squatted down.Peng Nan opened his eyes and was startled when he met Xiaofang's big innocent eyes.

Qi Xiaofang murmured to himself: "You want to harm your adoptive father, I saw it." As he said this, he took out a dagger from his arms, which Master Zhu gave her for self-defense on this trip.She inserted the dagger into Peng Nansi's chest. Peng Nansi groaned and died. Qi Xiaofang was afraid that he would not die, so she stabbed him in the chest a few more times, and then wiped the dagger clean on him.

Then he heard Qi Zigai shout: "Xiaofang, what are you doing? Can't you get on the horse?" It was late at night, the two sides were fifty or sixty feet apart, and Qi Zigai could no longer see Xiaofang's movements clearly.

Xiaofang heard his adoptive father's call and quickly caught up with him on horseback.

※ ※ ※

After struggling for most of the night, it was not until midnight that the fire in Fuzhou City was put out. I don't know how many of the subordinates who helped Peng Xiaobei escape died, and the rest did not know where they fled.

A carriage drove toward the southeast. The man driving the carriage had a striking nose.The guard was nervous all night. When he saw someone coming, he quickly stopped him. The man took out his token and said, "I want to leave the city. Make way!" When the guard saw the token, he saluted solemnly and asked, "What is on the young master's car?"

Xu Shaoyun said: "My wife! Do you want to see it?"

The guard hurriedly said: "Don't dare!"

Xu Shaoyun said: "Why don't you give way?"

The guard quickly opened the fence to make way.

The carriage entered the suburbs of Nancheng and drove straight until the sky became bright before stopping in a small town.Xu Shaoyun said: "Just right here."

Zhuge You walked out of the carriage with Peng Haowei in his arms and whispered: "The child is asleep, don't wake him up."

Xu Shaoyun nodded, took out a ball of straw mat from the carriage, and asked Zhuge You: "Didn't the child see it?"

Zhuge You said: "This child is very well-behaved. If you tell him not to look at him, he won't look at him."

Xu Shaoyun smiled bitterly and said, "He will always be a scumbag when I ask him to, so he only listens to you."

Zhuge You said: "Stop complaining, go buy a coffin and find someone to sew the senior's body shut."

Xu Shaoyun found a local charity and said that a relative had died of a sudden illness and wanted to buy a coffin.The people in Yizhuang were good at reporting to the sect, so Xu Shaoyun gave him 20 taels of silver notes and said: "There are a lot of things going on in Fuzhou recently, and I don't want to cause trouble. Of course, if a local dies, relatives will report it. If it's a lonely guest from other places, I will bring the body with me." If we go, we won’t be involved here.”

When the people in Yizhuang saw so much money, they stared blankly and without asking any questions, they gave Xu Shaoyun the best coffin to take away.

※ ※ ※

Yang Yan and his party took a small path to avoid the pursuers. On the way, Peng Xiaogai woke up. He was familiar with the terrain and pointed out the road. They hid in a remote town.Qi Zigai connected Yang Yan's broken bones and found a doctor to treat Peng Xiaobei's injuries.What kind of doctor can there be in such a small place?Fortunately, Peng Xiaobei's body was mainly traumatized, and he was treated with gold wound medicine and will be fine.

"I didn't receive any news of Brother Peng's death." Qi Ziguan said, "It was probably because he was intercepted on the road."

"Then why are you here?" Peng Xiaobei asked.

"The news was big and spread quickly. A businessman from Wudang happened to come to Kongtong to buy medicinal materials. The news spread all the way to the border. I verified the news and rushed over immediately." Qi Zi sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't see my brother for the last time."

Only then did Yang Yan know that Peng Xiaobei had been waiting for Qi Zigai. He couldn't help but said sadly: "It's useless for you to come now. Grandpa's body has been exhumed."

Qi Ziguan said: "You guys take a break, I'll go back to Fuzhou." He then looked at Peng Xiaobeg's fair, hairless bald head and said, "Brother Peng has become so virtuous that I can't recognize him for a while."

Yang Yan had heard Qi Zigai call Peng Xiaobei "Brother Peng" several times. He thought to himself that Peng Xiaobeg was much older than Qi Zigai, so he was called "Brother" by him?However, he saw that the two of them were very friendly and they were familiar with each other, so he didn't want to ask more questions at the moment.Then I heard Qi Zigai pull Qi Xiaofang over and said: "Call Uncle Peng."

Beggar Peng asked: "Where did you get such a beautiful daughter? When did you get married? Or was it a woman from outside?"

Qi Zigai smiled and said, "I picked it up." According to his friendship with Peng Xiaobeg, he was going to say a few gossips and joke, but he remembered that Peng Xiaobeg's son and wife had died, and he was afraid that he would be moved by the scene, so he said, "You guys just rest. .”

Peng Xiaobeg sighed: "Don't go back to Fuzhou, for fear that they will set a trap. If something happens to you, you will be a burden to us, and you will not be able to escape."

Qi Zigai said: "I don't think they can do anything to me. Don't worry, I'll take care of the situation."

In the afternoon of the next day, Qi Zigai went out for a walk and came back before dusk.Yang Yan asked in surprise: "Fuzhou is so heavily guarded, can you not get in, Third Master?"

Qi Ziguan said: "I heard the news before I arrived in Fuzhou. There was a big fire last night. Jiangxi General Director was in chaos. Two masked men took advantage of the chaos and robbed Brother Peng's body. The stinky wolf suffered a loss and lost his temper. People are looking for him everywhere, but he is still missing.”

When Yang Yan heard that Old Beggar Peng's body was missing, he was very anxious and asked, "Have you heard who took it away?"

Qi Zigai touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "They are probably friends of Brother Peng, otherwise there is no need to take the risk. However, Fuzhou is heavily surrounded, and these two people are really capable of escaping with the corpse." He thought for a while and said, "It would be great if the little monkey was here. He is very clever and can always figure out some clues. But there are his subordinates among this group of people. It seems that he also used a lot of tricks."

Yang Yan didn't know who he was talking about. At the moment, he was only worried about Peng Xiaobei's safety, so he asked, "When will we leave?"

Qi Zigai suddenly frowned and said, "Just wait." Then he opened the door and went out.Yang Yan thought he was weird, so he turned to Xiaofang and asked, "What is your dad doing out there?"

Xiaofang heard Yang Yan ask her and said hurriedly: "I don't know." Yang Yan still had a sense of awe in her tone, pulled up a chair and sat in front of her, and said: "My name is Yang Yan. These eyes only changed after they were damaged." Red is not born, and it is not a god, do you understand?"

Qi Xiaofang shrank and nodded slightly, still scared.Beggar Peng, who was lying on the bed, was very curious and asked, "What god do you mean?"

Yang Yan replied: "I don't know either. When she sees me, she kneels down and talks about what god she is."

Beggar Peng asked: "God Sa?"

When Qi Xiaofang heard the word "Sa Shen", his body trembled. Peng Xiaobei thought that he had guessed well. "It's not surprising that I have heard of God Sa. He is the third master's daughter. Maybe I have seen the portrait of God Sa in Kongtong. But why is this child so flustered?" He was suspicious, but did not ask further. He just said: "He It’s an eye disease, don’t be afraid.”

Yang Yan wanted to explain a few words, but suddenly heard Qi Zigai's voice speaking outside the house.He only heard Qi Ziguan say: "Little Beggar Peng is inside, and there are disciples from Jiangxi. Those who want to help stand on the left, and those who want to arrest people stand on the right. Don't disrupt the team!"

Yang Yan was shocked. Are these people chasing after them so quickly?

Then I heard him scolding: "If you want to be left or right, if you want to help, be arrested, don't be a mother-in-law! Once you stand firm, don't regret it, everyone is at peace with their destiny! I said my left is either your left or your right! Beggar Clan disciple leader Don’t you have a lot of brains?!”

Then I heard screams, screams, and various collision sounds coming from outside. After a while, Qi Zigai opened the door and came in. He poured a large bowl of water and drank it. He said: "These two brave people want to help. Brother Peng, what do you say?"

Two disciples walked in outside the door. When they saw Peng Xiaobei, they immediately knelt down and shouted: "Chief Helmsman!"

Beggar Peng looked at them and said slowly: "If you want to help me, shave off your hair and eyebrows. You can go wherever you like, as far as you want."

The two disciples nodded and immediately shaved off their hair and eyebrows.Xiaofang saw that they had shaved off the hair and left a bald head. He found it interesting and couldn't help but laugh and wanted to reach out and touch it.Qi Zigai tapped the back of her hand lightly, and she retracted her hand, still unable to help but be curious.

The two then said goodbye and went their separate ways.Qi Zigai said: "They have caught up and they have to leave now. Brother Peng, can you ride a horse?"

Peng Xiaobei stood up reluctantly, relaxed his shoulders, and twitched his eyebrows slightly: "It's not bad."

Yang Yan opened the door with a wooden stick, and then saw more than a dozen corpses lying scattered outside.

Xiaofang is not good at riding, so Qi Zigai and her ride Xiaobai, while Yang Yan and Peng Xiaobei each ride a horse.Yang Yan asked: "General, should we go to Jiujiangkou?"

Peng Xiaobeg shook his head and said, "Why do you still call me chief helmsman? Just call me 'Uncle Tian' from now on." He then said to Qi Ziguan, "Jiujiangkou is the closest, so I'm afraid there are many enemies on the road."

Qi Ziguan said: "Xu Fangge is not in Jiangxi, so only Stinky Wolf and Fang Jinqing are in trouble. If we encounter him, fight him out."

Peng Xiaobeg said: "There are still a few masters in Jiangxi, but the stinky wolf can't control them yet."

Qi Zigai asked: "Take the big road or the small road?"

Peng Xiaobei said: "I am injured and can't handle the bumps. I can't go faster on the road, so I'll take the small road."

The journey from Fuzhou to Jiujiangkou is about 500 miles. If Qi Zigai rides Xiaobai at full speed, it can be reached in just one day and night. However, ordinary horses do not have such endurance, and Peng Xiaobei and Yang Yan cannot bear the bumps, so the four of them simply change. The carriage slowed down, Xiaofang rode Xiaobai, and Qi Zigai drove, letting Yang Yan and Peng Xiaobei recover from their injuries.Encountering an interception along the way, it was inevitable that they would be hacked and killed—or rather, the opponent would inevitably be hacked and killed by Qi Zigai.

Talking about the past on the road, Yang Yan realized that Qi Zigai and Old Beggar Peng had known each other before. It seemed that it happened more than 20 years ago before Grandpa Peng sealed the knife.The two of them are generally generous and lazy. When he was young, Grandpa Peng was always called "Shibo", "Senior" and "Uncle" by the peers he just met. He was bored for decades. When he was old, he met the younger generation who liked him. They are all called brothers, so they are also called brothers and sisters with Qi Zi.Later, Qi Zigai met Old Beggar Peng when he visited him again. Peng Xiaobei was [-] years older than him. It was too weird to call Qi Zigai "Uncle", so he simply called him brother. Qi Zigai called Old Beggar Peng "Brother Peng". Beggar Peng "Brother Peng".

As for the small house, Qi Zijian said that she picked it up by herself, saying that her parents died when she was young, she grew up in the mountains, and she didn't know anything. She was worried that no one would take care of her in Kongtong when she went out, so he took her with him to see the world.

Yang Yan saw that Xiaofang was fifteen or sixteen years old, gorgeous, charming, and innocent. He stayed close to Qi Zigai every day, usually no more than a foot away, and he was curious about ordinary things.At first, she was in awe of him and always spoke in a mumbling voice. But within a few days, he knew how to get close to this girl - helping her pick up a chicken leg, an egg, and a piece of fish for every meal, and her eyes would be filled with laughter. He would emit light, and within three days the two of them had become warm to each other, and Xiaofang was no longer afraid of him.

As for Yang Yan's matter, Peng Xiaobei discussed it with Qi Zigai in private. Qi Zigai frowned and said nothing.

This journey took five days, and it was already early November when we arrived at Jiujiangkou.Peng Xiaobei's injury improved slightly, but Yang Yan's fracture remained unhealed.Along the way, I saw many rewards offered by Yang Yan and Peng Xiaobei, but none from Qi Zigai and Xiaofang.

Peng Xiaobeg said: "There must be troops stationed at Jiujiangkou. Let's find a place to rest nearby and explore the news."

Qi Zigai found a secluded Taoist temple, gave him money, and built two side rooms to accommodate the three of them.Yang Yan's red eyes were eye-catching. He put on his hat and walked in quickly with his head lowered. Qi Zigai asked the Taoist for information. He said that the new chief helmsman had led 500 people to guard the dock, and their identities were checked when entering and exiting.

Yang Yan said: "We will take the land route."

Qi Zigai shook his head and said: "There will only be more border guards, so I don't mind. How are you going to break through?"

Yang Yan said: "When we recover from our injuries, we can break out together!"

Qi Ziguan said: "How long do you have to hide? Brother Peng, you have been the chief helmsman in Jiangxi for decades, you must have some ideas, right?"

Peng Xiaobeg sighed and said, "There is a way. The merchant ships can't leave, so we smuggle them."

Qi Ziguan asked: "Do you have any connections?"

Beggar Peng shook his head and said, "It doesn't count. One of us is injured and the other is disabled. I'm afraid we will have to trouble Third Master to run errands."

Qi Zigai smiled and said, "What does this mean? Just say it."

Peng Xiaobeg said: "Third Master, when you go to the intersection of Laoshu Street in Jiujiangkou, there is a shop that repairs fishing nets. The shop is not open at night. There is a bell at the door. You ring it three times, stop, and ring it three more times." Someone comes to answer the call. If he says: "It's late at night, we won't open the shop." You just say: "The moon is three poles high and the light shines in all directions." If he says he won't do business anymore, you ask him. It depends on whether you want to use eloquence or fists to please. You need to note that the person who calls the shots is missing a left arm, and you have to see him before you can speak. If he asks you whether it is dry goods or parallel imports, you should say four people A coffin and a bundle of paper, no matter if he agrees or not, just carry him here, and don’t tell him that I asked you to go.”

Qi Zigai asked: "Smuggled?"

"Selling stolen goods, selling illicit tea, transporting silver, and delivering coffins, I specialize in these four activities." Peng Xiaobeg said.

Qi Zigai turned around and left without even talking.Fujian tea is very famous, and the tea tax is an important income for the Beggar Clan. Yang Yan understands the smuggling of tea, but he is unclear about the other three, so he asked Peng Xiaobeg.

Beggar Peng said: "'Selling stolen goods' means transporting stolen goods. Some gangsters have snatched valuable treasures and are wanted. If the treasures cannot be transported out, they have to be smuggled away. 'Losing silver' means transporting a large amount of silver, most of which are stolen money. .'Sending a coffin' is to send wanted people like us. Why is it called 'sending a coffin'? When they send people across the river, they will first prepare a coffin. The person lies inside the coffin, nails are hammered in, and only the sides are left. There is a small slit for ventilation. If questioned by the sect, they will say that the dead businessman is returning home, so it is called "send the coffin." "Zhizhao" refers to animals, and our two bad horses can be forgotten. Jiangxi."

Yang Yan suddenly realized.Xiaofang listened to Peng Xiaobeg's story and found it interesting. He asked why he was selling private tea. Peng Xiaofang said it was to avoid the tea tax.Xiaofang asked again what the tax on tea was, and Beggar Peng said it was a tax paid on selling tea. Xiaofang asked again what the tax was. The questioning continued, but Beggar Peng really couldn't handle it, so he recruited Yang Yan to answer. .Yang Yan explained for a long time. Xiaofang asked about the tea tax, silk, and finally asked Peng Xiaobeg why his knife was black and how it was made. Yang Yan couldn't answer many questions, so he could only speak vaguely, until Qi Zigai led a The one-armed man came, and Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The man Qi Zigai brought back was about forty years old, with dark skin, the upper part of his right ear was missing, and his left sleeve was empty.When the man saw Beggar Peng, he became furious and said, "It's you!" After that, he turned around and left.Qi Zigai couldn't help him leave, so he picked him up and said, "Speak slowly if you have anything to say, why are you so angry?"

The man said: "There's nothing to say! In one word, I won't accept this business!"

Qi Zigai said: "I just want to say, everyone has seen you, if you don't send me away, can you go back alive?"

Peng Xiaobeg sighed: "Miao Ziyi, it was my fault to accidentally hurt your arm, but you were smuggling and breaking the law first. For this matter, I didn't lock you up. Even if I still owe you something, I don't have to risk my life."

Miao Ziyi said: "I didn't ask you to pay for your life! Your life is wanted by the stinky wolf, I just don't care! Buy a good boy with one hand and teach me not to go back to my old business. I have been guarding the shop peacefully for the past seven years. If this guy hadn’t been so forceful, I wouldn’t have caused this bad luck!”

Beggar Peng said: "It's obvious now. If you see me, I can't let you tip off. How can you give me a price?"

Miao Ziyi sneered and said: "Okay, give me your left hand and I will send you across the river!"

Peng Xiaobei nodded and said, "I guess so." He took a step back and suddenly slashed his left hand with the knife.

Yang Yan and Qi Xiaofang exclaimed at the same time. Qi Zigai flew up with his right foot and kicked Peng Xiaogai's wrist. With a "snatch" sound, the black knife penetrated the wall two inches deep. This shows that this knife really used his true strength.Fortunately, Peng Xiaobei's injuries have not recovered and his skills have been compromised, otherwise Qi Zijie may not be able to stop him.

Miao Ziyi didn't expect him to be so decisive, and he couldn't help but be surprised.He had just regretted it and saw Qi Zigai's attack was so accurate. He then thought about it and thought that the two of them must have prepared the move well first. He couldn't help but said angrily: "You acted like a monkey, do you think I will take it seriously? I want to decide this move." Got it!"

Qi Zigai thought for a while, sat down by the bed, and asked Miao Ziyi, "Brother Miao, is it okay to call me this way?"

Miao Ziyi snorted coldly and ignored it.

"I don't know about the grudge between you and Brother Peng, but since Brother Peng is guilty, just think that he is wrong. You have broken your arm and cannot be resurrected. I can't be generous to others, so I tell you not to care about it. If you really want to behead me, let you Kill us, but not now. You have to send us to a safe place, and then you can count on your money. Otherwise, when the knife falls, you still don't send us, and you have lost an arm in vain?"

Miao Ziyi sneered: "I sent you there, so what if you regret it? I can't beat you!"

Qi Zigai said proudly: "Just because he is Peng Xiaobei and I am Qi Zigai, what I say is stamped on the iron and no one can change it."

Miao Ziyi was taken aback and asked, "Are you the third master?" He looked him up and down, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe what the third master said! When are you leaving?"

Qi Ziguan said: "The sooner the better, preferably tonight."

Miao Ziyi nodded and said, "Follow me!"

Yang Yan was shocked, pulled Qi Zijuan and asked: "You... do you really want to cut off Uncle Tian's arm?"

Qi Zigai whispered: "Even if we don't chop him down, who will he cry to? Tell the world that he rescued Peng Xiaobei? The stinky wolf won't skin him yet!"

Yang Yan was taken aback for a moment and said nonchalantly: "I...I thought the Third Master was a man who kept his word."

"Most of the time," Qi Zigai said proudly, "Not when it won't be exposed."

Miao Ziyi led everyone out of the Taoist temple. Seeing that they were leaving, the Taoist priest came up and asked: "What time is it? There is a curfew these days. Where are you going? Are you coming back? If you don't come back, my sect will The lock is tight."

Qi Zigai shook his head and said, "If you're not coming back, just lock it."

The Taoist priest responded and locked the door.

"My boat is well hidden, come with me." Miao Ziyi drove Peng Xiaobei and Yang Yan to the wilderness in person.After walking for more than half an hour, we arrived at a riverside with overgrown weeds, as high as half a man. The carriage crossed the grass and came to the bank. The bank was about five feet above the river, and the river slope was steep, making it difficult to walk down.

Miao Ziyi said: "That's it. I haven't sailed the boat for seven years, and I don't know if it's broken or not." As he said that, he jumped off the steep slope and climbed down the rock wall with his hands.The steep slope was slippery. If he fell down, he would be seriously injured. Miao Ziyi was left with only one hand. It was not easy to crawl. He was towering and trembling all the way. It was very dangerous. It was difficult to climb down, but he didn't know where to go. After a while, He stuck his head out and said, "Come help!"

Qi Ziguan said: "You guys wait here, call me if you need anything." After saying that, he jumped up.Xiaofang exclaimed when he saw him jumping down.Qi Zigai climbed back on the rock wall with both hands, slid and jumped, and landed on the ground in just a moment. Yang Yan was so impressed that he thought to himself: "The third master's martial arts is really amazing!" Then he thought again, "If I can worship him as my teacher, plus Tian My uncle taught me the Five Tigers Cutting Sword, and Brother Ming’s Yi Jin Jing, are you still afraid that I won’t be able to take revenge?”

Qi Zigai came to the river and saw a cave. The entrance of the cave was covered by weeds. If he didn't get down, he couldn't see that there was a cave here. He didn't know whether it was natural or dug by manpower.Parked in the cave was a small boat that was more than three feet tall. There seemed to be no problem with the hull, but it was just a little mottled and old.

Miao Ziyi said: "It has not been sailing for many years. There is sludge underneath and there is insufficient draft. The ship cannot get out. You ask them to come down and clear out the silt, so that it will be easier to get out."

Qi Zizui saw that the water was about two feet deep to the hull. He waded in the water a few times and found that the mud was soft and slippery. He also saw that there were hemp ropes as thick as copper coins tied to both sides of the hull and the keel, so he said, "Let's pull together and see." Can you come out?"

Miao Ziyi said: "This boat is so big, it usually takes four or five people to pull it into the water. What's more, it's covered in mud now, can you pull it?"

Qi Ziguan said, "Try it." He rolled up his sleeves, twisted the three strands of rope together, and shouted, "Come and help!"

Miao Ziyi felt that his efforts were in vain, so he still walked to the front and pulled the rope with him.I saw Qi Zigai take a deep breath, his muscles swelled, and with a sudden force, the boat actually started to move slowly.Miao Ziyi was greatly horrified. He thought it was just a waste of time and did not contribute any effort. Qi Ziguan really pulled the boat out with his own strength.

He knew that as the ship's bow moved forward, the silt accumulated in front would increase resistance, so he hurriedly cleared the silt away. Qi Zigai stopped and waited for him to clear it.After a while, there was a "pop" sound, water splashed everywhere, and the boat entered the river. Qi Zigai smiled and said: "Okay! You get on the boat first." After saying that, he jumped to the shore.He knew that Yang Yan had difficulty moving and that Beggar Peng was injured, so he put his arms around Yang Yan's waist and said, "Be careful." Yang Yan felt a tightness in his waist, and Qi Zigai had already jumped into the river, and came back to the shore again. When he was going to help little beggar Peng, he saw little beggar Peng blow a big breath and said: "After hugging my son and hugging me? No, I'm okay!" As he spoke, he held the rock wall with his hands. Although his movements were slow, he still took one step. Take steady steps without making any mistakes.

Seeing that Beggar Peng was safe, Qi Ziguan got on the horse first, then asked Qi Xiaofang to sit in front of him, and asked Xiaobai to take a few steps back before riding off.Xiaobai kicked his feet on the steep slope and reached the shore without any danger.

Seeing how handsome Xiaobai was, Miao Ziyi couldn't help but praise: "She is indeed a heroic BMW, a hero and a beauty!"

Qi Ziguan said: "This is my daughter."

Miao Ziyi looked at Qi Xiaofang, then at Qi Zigai, and said with surprise: "My wife must be the most beautiful woman in the world!"

Yang Yan heard the meaning of his words and couldn't help laughing.Qi Zigai rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go!"

Miao Ziyi raised his sail and asked: "To Hubei or Hunan?"

Peng Xiaobeg said: "Let's go to Wudang territory first, and then think of other places to go after it's safe."

Miao Ziyi added: "I'll hold the sail, and you guys will help row the oars."

Yang Yan put down the oar, and the three grown men started rowing. Qi Xiaofang found it interesting and followed suit with the oar.

I heard Little Beggar Peng scolding: "What the hell, I don't even know how to row a boat, I'm just a blind chicken rowing like a fool!"

Yang Yan blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't learned..."

Beggar Peng said: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about you!" He pointed at Qi Zigai.

Qi Zigai said in surprise: "Me? I live in Gansu, and I can even row a boat! If you know how, do it yourself!"

Beggar Peng said: "Follow me, and you will row as I do!"

Qi Xiaofang rowed for a while, getting slower and slower, and said to Qi Zigai with a sad face: "My hands are so sore, it's not fun."

Qi Zigai smiled and said, "Come on, take a rest."

Qi Xiaofang stood on the bow of the ship and looked towards the center of the river. She remembered that the merchant ship she and her adoptive father came on was huge and far beyond the reach of this small boat.She saw the majesty of the Yangtze River for the first time on the deck, but she felt so small and weak that she shivered in Qi Zigai's arms.This time I took a small boat and it felt refreshing. The lanterns were reflected in the middle of the river, and the waves were shining, as if they were integrated with the river.

Miao Ziyi was indeed very familiar with the Yangtze River. He knew where it was fast and where it was slow, when to turn the helm and when to turn the sails, and he knew it very accurately.Qi Zigai and Yang Yan didn't understand this, and Peng Xiaobei praised: "It is indeed a 'sail of the Yangtze River', and it has fully explored this waterway!"

Miao Ziyi just snorted and said coldly: "Now half of the piece is left, and the other half is broken." The collision left Peng Xiaobeg speechless.

Yang Yan saw Qi Zigai's uneasy expression and asked, "Third Master, what's wrong?"

Qi Ziguan said: "I don't like taking boats."

Yang Yan asked doubtfully: "Could it be that Mr. San is seasick?"

Qi Ziguan said: "No, I just... don't like taking boats."

Beggar Peng burst out laughing. Yang Yan looked at Beggar Peng and then at Qi Zigai, wondering what secrets the two of them had.

Qi Xiaofang suddenly jumped for joy and stood at the stern of the boat and shouted: "There is a boat! What a big boat!"

Everyone was startled and ran to the stern of the ship. They saw lanterns neatly arranged in the distance. Three Beggar Clan warships were sailing this way. There were at least 200 people on each warship, that is, a total of 600 people!

Beggar Peng was surprised: "It's the warship of the Beggar Clan! Is it here to chase us?"

Yang Yan said: "What's going on? How do they know we are here?"

Miao Ziyi was even more panicked and quickly returned to his position to steer the ship.

Beggar Peng gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and said angrily: "That Taoist priest! He already knew it was us. No wonder he asked us if we wanted to come back. He was the one who sent the message!"

Qi Ziguan said anxiously: "Hurry to the shore!"

The three of them paddled hurriedly. Seeing how panicked they were, Qi Xiaofang ignored his sore hands and continued to paddle with all his strength.At this time, the ship was in the middle of the river, and it was really a dilemma.Yang Yan saw Miao Ziyi leaning towards a farther shore and asked, "Brother Miao, why are you going far away?"

Miao Ziyi said: "There is a favorable wind here, so we can reach the shore faster!"

However, the boat was in shallow water and was not as fast as the warship, so it was gradually overtaken.The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed from three hundred feet to two hundred feet, and then to one hundred feet. However, the boat was still some distance away from the shore, and it seemed that it would be too late.

Yang Yan shouted: "Uncle Tian, ​​Third Master, let's jump off the ship!"

Qi Ziguan looked troubled and said, "Brother Yang, my daughter can't swim." Then he said to Qi Xiaofang, "I'll stay with Brother Yang, he will take care of you."

It was rare for Qi Xiaofang to see his adoptive father look troubled. He knew that he couldn't swim and it would be difficult to fight on the water. He was panicked. He hugged Qi Zigai tightly and said, "Xiaofang wants to be with his adoptive father!"

Suddenly, they heard Miao Ziyi say "Hey" again, and everyone looked together and saw more than a dozen merchant ships lining up in the distance ahead. Each merchant ship was more than ten feet apart, staggered left, right, front and back.It is not uncommon to see more than a dozen merchant ships, but if they are so densely packed together, wouldn't it be difficult to move forward, backward, left, and right?The river is so vast that even if the fleet is fighting, there is no need to get so close when sailing.

Beggar Peng asked: "Whose ship is that?"

Miao Ziyi said: "I don't know! What the hell, this boat formation can help us stop the pursuers, just squeeze through!"

Miao Ziyi turned the helm and moved closer to the dozen or so merchant ships. Although the speed of the dozen or so merchant ships was slow, they were also slowly approaching this direction.At this moment, Qi Zigai shouted loudly: "Be careful!" He hugged Xiaofang with his left hand and retreated to Miao Ziyi. He pulled off his coat with his right hand, revealing his strong muscles. He turned over and used a golden hook to hang his feet upside down. He stood on the edge of the boat, slapped his clothes on the water, drank enough water, straightened his back and returned to the boat.

Peng Xiaobei drove Xiaobai into the cabin and protected Yang Yan with a black knife in his hand. Yang Yan still didn't know what happened, but when the boat and the warship were about seventy feet apart, a rain of arrows suddenly rained down.

Qi Xiaofang was so frightened that he closed his eyes and just hugged his adoptive father tightly. Qi Zigai swung his clothes. When the clothes were soaked with water, he swung them into a big circle like a soft stick and blocked incoming arrows.

"That fleet is under the banner of the Xiangyang Gang!" Miao Ziyi shouted.

The Xiangyang gang's fleet seemed to have seen them, and speeded up in their direction as if on purpose.Merchant ships traveling downstream are much faster than small boats and beggar warships traveling upstream.

Beggar Peng shouted: "Brother Yang, hide in the cabin!"

Yang Yan shouted: "I paddle!"

The second wave of arrows rained down immediately. The boat was fifty feet away from the warship, and the arrows were more powerful.Qi Zigai pushed Qi Xiaofang behind him and threw his clothes away, barely holding on to the second wave of attacks, but the boat was already covered with arrow marks.

Yang Yan turned his head and saw that the merchant ship in front was still fifty or sixty feet away.He was furious, stood up abruptly and walked towards the stern of the boat.Beggar Peng was shocked and shouted: "Brother Yang, are you looking for death?!"

Just listen to Yang Yan shouting to Dajiang: "Fuck your mother! I am a family-killing Yang Yan, shoot me to death if you dare! Fuck you!"

The river was silent, but Yang Yan's roar was so heartfelt that the sound spread far away.After venting his anger, he was still unwilling to give up and yelled: "Fuck you, you killed my grandparents, my sister, and my younger brother who was not even one year old. This is not enough! Kill me again! You bastards from Huashan, beggars Gang bastards! You framed Zhongliang and killed Brother Peng and his wife! You are powerful, you dare to do anything, I can't fight you, you shoot me to death and let my family reunite! Let's see if anyone knows, if anyone Listen! Let’s see if you dare to cover the sky with one hand! I’ll fuck your mother! Fuck your mother, fuck!”

The curses were filled with grief and anger, so crazy that even Miao Ziyi, who didn't know the reason, was almost moved to tears. Qi Xiaofang's eyes turned red, and he hid behind Qi Zigai and began to cry.

Yang Yan's move really worked. Although the opponent continued to chase, he never dared to fire arrows again.A gust of breeze blew, and Miao Ziyi shouted: "Luck has come!" and pulled the sail fiercely.A strong gust of wind blew, and the wind boosted the sails. The ship jumped forward a few feet, widening the distance from the warship.He could predict the wind and he knew the Yangtze River Feng Shui very well.

The merchant fleet also accelerated and Miao Ziyi shouted: "We're here!" The small boat sailed into the fleet.

At this time, the merchant fleet and the Beggar Clan warship were less than a hundred feet apart, and one of them had to get out of the way.The merchant fleet suddenly lurched sideways and leaned towards the right bank. The Beggar Clan warship had no choice but to return to the ship to dodge, otherwise it would inevitably collide with them. The two sides missed each other on the Yangtze River.

The small boat was caught in the fleet, and saw huge things in front, back, left and right, making it even more insignificant.But now that I am hiding in the fleet, what should I do next?Suddenly, a merchant ship approached the boat. Miao Ziyi was about to turn the helm to dodge, but eight hooks were thrown from the boat.

He just heard the people on the boat shouting: "Come up!" Peng Xiaobei immediately understood and quickly hooked the hook to the edge of the boat. When the others saw his actions, they also immediately understood and hooked the boat at eight positions, front, rear, left and right.

Qi Zigai, who was highly skilled in martial arts, hugged the small house with his left hand and grabbed the rope with his right hand. He pulled hard and floated up. He stepped on the rope and jumped up on the rope with two leaps. He grabbed the winch and pulled up the boat.When the boat was halfway up, Beggar Peng, although injured, was able to jump on board and lighten the burden on the boat.After Miao Ziyi, Yang Yan and Xiaobai got on the boat, the people on the boat put the boat down again and took them and Xiaobai into the cabin.

The three warships went around the fleet, and the small boat floated into the river from behind the fleet. Just as the three warships were about to approach, the merchant fleet made a big turn, turned around and sailed upstream, and the fleet dispersed immediately. open.By the time the three warships discovered that there was no one on board the small boat, the caravan had already headed west. More than ten merchant ships dispersed, and they didn't know which one to pursue.

Yang Yan, Qi Zigai and others entered the cabin and were welcomed to the main cabin. They didn't know who saved them, but looking at the situation, they were obviously prepared.Yang Yan originally thought it was Yu Jien, but he guessed that he didn't have the guts to offend the Huashan Beggar Gang. When he arrived at the main cabin, he saw a handsome and elegant man and a woman in purple.

When the woman in purple saw the crowd, she cupped her fists and saluted, "Gu Qingshang of Hengshan." She and Peng Xiaobeg had only met once. At this time, Peng Xiaobeg had lost all his hair and beard. He couldn't recognize him for a moment. He couldn't help being stunned, and then he recognized him Peng Xiaobei.

But Beggar Peng recognized her and couldn't help but praise: "Miss Gu is really a girl among Zhuge, she can think of such a way to save us! Little Beggar Peng will remember today's kindness!"

Gu Qingshang said hurriedly: "It's not me, it's this gentleman who came up with the plan." He pointed to the handsome young man beside him.

Yang Yan recognized the man and said in surprise: "Are you a friend of Brother Jingfeng?"

When Qi Zigai heard Yang Yan mention Jingfeng, he was surprised and said, "Do you recognize Jingfeng? The Jingfeng named Li?"

Yang Yan was also surprised and asked: "Third Master also recognizes Brother Jingfeng? Is that Jingfeng with the bright eyes?"

Qi Xiaofang came out from behind Qi Zigai and asked, "Where is brother Jingfeng?"

Gu Qingshang was also taken aback and asked urgently: "Are you the third master? The third master Qi from Kongtong?" She looked at Qi Zigai, her eyes almost shining.

Miao Ziyi rolled his eyes and said, "I am the smuggler Miao Ziyi, the one no one recognizes."

"Thank you Gubai." Xie Gubai bowed respectfully, "Xie Gubai from Qingcheng."
