Chapter 5 – Strange Change Occurred Suddenly
Aghast, Kou Zhong said, “Who can be called Pi shi+shu by Wen Caiting?”
Xu Ziling replied, “It’s an old fellohose nickna xiu’ [cloud and rain dual-cultivation] called Pi Shouxuan It hen I was disguised as Yue Shan that I heard it fro is his disciple This ht to have an ihted, Kou Zhong said, “Finally there’s the affir is Yin Gui Pai man His conduct and methods are extremely despicable Later on I will have to find an opportunity to strike hi said, “Right nohat are we going to do? Sticking ourselves to the hull of the boat like this is very straining In less than a few sichen, ill be done for”
Kou Zhong sighed and said, “Now everybody is opening his eyes wide to look at me I don’t have any idea what to do either Ha! We’d better open up one hisin, we’ll see what kind of insidious trick they are doing There ht on this, perhaps we’ll even see so those several dozen peach wood crate, Xu Ziling nodded and said, “Your speculation ought to be eighty-, ninety-percent accurate Since we cannot cliet in You choose the place”
Kou Zhong had not had any chance to select the position where they were going to enter the shi+p, the shi+p suddenly slowed down Stunned, the two boys looked up, and saw bright lights on the Great River ahead There were at least four warshi+ps in a row across the River Although they still could not seal off the vast Great River, they posed a very big threat to any shi+p trying to go through
And the water of the Great River was flowing swiftly Although on this section the river was relatively cal this kind of battle array on the surface of the river, plus doing it in the night, was absolutely not easy Fro the river was under the control of experts steering the boats, men ere not easy to deal with
This moment, because they were stilltheir eyes, the two boys were unable to see the banner of these four shi+ps
Kou Zhong spoke in astonishment, “In her capacity as either Yin Gui Pai personnel or Qian Duguan’s beloved concubine, Bai yaonu is not someone who could be easily provoked, but who dares to co was somewhat familiar with naval battle; he said, “The opposite side has the advantage of going with the flow; further In desperate, stake-it-all battle, the one suffer losses will undoubtedly be Bai Yaonu’s side Hey! How about we take advantage while the enemy’s attention is focused on the situation ahead to sneak in fro said, “It’s i into the aft shouldn’t pose any proble that, we’ll take a look whether those several dozen crates really contain sea salt”
The two boys promptly went into action
Earlier that day, when they were at the dock, they saw Bai Qing’er’sinto the aft; naturally it would be much easier to sneak in from the aft compared to the front or the middle cabins
From the stern, the two boys soathered at the bow and the bridge Even theon the deck also had their eyes on the shi+ps blocking the river ahead On top of that, the two boys’ skill was superior, so that the Gods did not know, the ghosts did not perceive, they lifted the hatch into the aft hold and disappeared inside like a wisp of sh wooden crates, the official shi+p was slowly coentle and deep , “The Right Pri pays his respect to Mada out; she said, “Turns out it is Sun Xiang [ed your boat in the middle of the river to pay your respect, this is the first ti is starting a new trend on how to greet his guests?”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances; they both felt strange
Garuda King was the savage Zhu Can Logically speaking, he should be at ith Xiao Xian, as well as having a deep en Horse Ranch As for his relationshi+p with the Jianghuai Army, it better not be mentioned It could be said that he had enemies on all three sides If he were a bit sic city Xiangyang, who had good grip on the passage to the north Therefore, blocking Bai Qing’er’s official shi+p like this was coh the aft hold was pitch-black, it did not pose any proble, they knew that there was definitely nobody inside the crate, otherwise they would have heard the sound of their breathing
Sun Huacheng replied indifferently, “Mada has another difficulty Si to me, I have no choice but to ask Mada’er quizzically asked, “I wonder what it is that Sun Xiang wanted to know?”
Sun Huacheng replied, “I just want to ask Madame one question: is Princess Lian Rou on Madaer-body was slightly shaken; he asked in astonishment, “Do you have any idea who this Princess is?”
On the deck, Bai Qing’er, as standing near the bow, let out a silver-bell like tender laughter, before responding with a e! I only know that your distinguished country has Mei Gongzhu [princess], but I have never heard about Lian Rou Gongzhu Why would Sun Xiang look for her on nujia’s boat? I wonder who entrusted this matter to you?”
“Since that is the case,” Sun Huacheng replied, “Mada rude As for who entrusted thisfor it is inconvenient for me to disclose it Mada to this exchange, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong inside the aft hold looked at each other They really did not understand, withopened his ’er only had to deny one time, and he obediently beat the return drum This did not make any sense at all, eventhe river
Xu Ziling spoke in low voice, “Lain Rou is the only daughter of Yun Shuai [cloud commander], the Persian who is the Guoshi+ [teacher of the state] of the Western Tujue, Tong Xiehu’s adopted daughter I have had the opportunity to fight her in Chengdu Heris especially exceptional At that ti and Zhu Mei; unexpectedly she was captured and being held prisoner by Yin Gui Pai”
The official boat continued to sail, but the two boys felt the peculiar atmosphere; there were more than a hundred men on board, yet nobody talked, the h they pricked up their ears, they were unable to hear Bai Qing’er and Wen Caiting’s conversation
Frowning, Kou Zhong said, “I dare say that this moment Lian Rou is in therefrained fro the vases that he did not dare toe’er is trying to transport the prisoner by land, so that they could intercept”
Shaking his head, Xu Ziling said, “If they want to snatch the prisoner away, it would be best if they do it on the river, the target is si’s move is that it is unfathorasp what his next step be If the plan was thought by him, then this man’s ability and wisdo hard, Kou Zhong said, “A Persian beauty being captured in Chengdu, how did she appear on a boat fro? On the surface, these two do not see obtain a very accurate intelligence? Can you tellyour encounter with Lian Rou?”
After listening to Xu Ziling’s brief explanation, Kou Zhong, as if he was jolted up fro with the Eastern Tujue!”
At first Xu Ziling was startled, and then he thought that Kou Zhong’s inference was very reasonable Both the Eastern and Western Tujue had aggressive ambition to invade the Central Earth, but their real enee in the distant Central Earth
During the ti shi+dou, and the likes aligned theer like Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, and the others, also did not dare to openly butt-head with the Tujue; they all adopted ‘showing respect fro out a ‘collaboration with outsiders’ policy In the past it was Tiele people, which ended when Qu Ao was defeated under Ba Fenghan’s hands So if Yin Gui Pai now collaborated with the Eastern Tujue, it was the
Only under this kind of situation would Yin Gui Pai take the risk of offending Tong Xiehu and Yun Shuai, by capturing Lian Rou, as sneaking into Bashu, and transporting her to Xiangyang, to be handed over to Tuli Khan of Eastern Tujue
By doing this, they pushed the bla and Zhu Can, so that their relationshi+p with the Western Tujue would fall apart, hence the reason Sun Huacheng blocked the river to look for her
The sinister struggle was underway, because of An Long’s involvee of Yin Gui Pai’s secret, Yin Gui Pai was no longer able to ’er had the person in question, clearly they had the upper hand If they want to snatch the prisoner back, they must use the ten-thousand jun [1 jun = 30 catties] thunderbolt ’er there were still the three elder-level martial art masters on board, they would not be able to withstand
Therefore, they need ‘Yunyu Shuang Xiu’ Pi Shouxuan to provide support along the way Only they did not anticipate that Sun Huacheng ht appear on the water in the territory under Xiao Xian’s control Further’er’s movement within the pal, spark-of-flint instant, thesea lot of previously unclearsaid, “This Yin Gui Pai and the Eastern Tujue’s alliance was most likely brokered by the ‘Mo shi+’ [de said, “Why would they need Zhao Deyan? Re, the lecherous look in Tuli’s eyes when he saw that yaonu? These dog ed in an illicit love affair] were together fro said, “Yin Gui Pai is able to transport Lian Rou here, it must have involved a lot of effort Too bad in the end the enterprise is ruined for the sake of one basketful, by being intercepted in this place Theyis an old fox, I’m afraid he does not have this kind of ability Where exactly is the problem? Could it be that there is a spy within Yin Gui Pai’s ranks?”
Kou Zhong laughed and said, “Weabout all these things Why not beco’er yaonu?”
Pondering deeply, Xu Ziling said, “I wonder if we should just wait and see for any changes? I a will have his next ainst Zhu Can’s troops”
The sound of footsteps rang overhead; obviously so toward the hatch in the cabin above
Kou Zhong whispered in Xu Ziling’s ear, “As soon as the hatch is open, we’ll rab hihly auard, perhaps even Zhu Yuyan herself would have to pay dearly
The footsteps stopped overhead Bai Qing’er’s voice was heard, “This batch of fireworks and firearreat pity if they are destroyed”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were shocked If that’s the case, then they were sitting inside a gunpowder storehouse High in the sky, these things looked brilliant and pretty, but exploded inside a closed enclosure, it was not a laughing matter at all Even if they trained a hundred more years, they would not be able to withstand it
