Dragon Boat Fierce Battle
They saw many boxes in the cabin. Chen Jingchou said,"" It's not a piece of copper, it's a miscellaneous piece of copper..." Zhang Lie said,""But that's strange. Why do these soldiers need so much copper?”"Don't tell me he's planning to forge weapons privately and rebel?" Chen Jingchou asked.”
At this moment, a soldier suddenly barged in and shouted,"Hey, what are you doing here?”
The three of them were stunned for a moment. Zhang Lie quickly said," Ah, I'm sorry... the cabins above are full, so we're following the orders of the father-in-law to place these two girls here..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he heard Eunuch Han say,""Nonsense!" Eunuch Han walked in and said," Hmph! I am the eunuch in charge of this ship. When did I give the order?"”
The three of them were shocked. They knew that they had exposed a flaw. Eunuch Han immediately shouted,""Sneaking around, arrest them!”
"Alright, since we've been discovered, we'll fight openly."”As he spoke, he pulled his clothes and drew his sword. Chen Jingchou moved quickly, and a soldier fell. Then, Zhang Lie and Snowy joined the battle. The three of them worked together and quickly took care of the soldiers.
Eunuch Han was so frightened that his voice changed.""You despicable scoundrels!" He turned around and fled, shouting,""Wow, an assassin! Someone come!"
Chen Jingchou said," This is bad. That eunuch just now managed to escape. If he were to inform the soldiers on the shore to surround this ship, we would be like turtles in a jar!"”
"Little Brother Chen, this isn't difficult. I have a good idea."”
"What good idea?"
"Seize the ship and set sail immediately!"
"As expected of Big Brother Zhang, what a good idea! Then let's kill our way up and seize this ship!”
The three of them rushed out of the cabin and went all the way to the deck. They saw more than ten soldiers blocking them and shouting,"Eunuch has already gone ashore to inform the government to send someone over. You're dead.”
"I'm sorry, but we were planning to borrow your boats!"”
"Bastards, don't even think about taking the ship!" More than ten soldiers of the Sui Dynasty attacked together, but these soldiers were all mediocre people. After being killed by Zhang Lie and Chen Jingchou, they fell into the river and became the fish's food.'
After killing all the Sui soldiers, Zhang Lie said,""Alright, Little Brother Chen! Let's set sail quickly!"
Chen Jingchou said," Wait a minute, Big Brother Zhang. I want to release the women on the boat first. They are too pitiful!"”
"No, there's no time!" Zhang Lie said.”
"Before the enemy comes, there should still be time…"
"Alright, I understand! You're really too kind.”
The three of them returned to the cabin where the women were imprisoned. Chen Jingchou said to all the women,""All of you should escape now!”
"Can we really escape?" The girls were surprised.”
"Time is tight. If you don't leave quickly, you might not have a chance!"”
"Thank you, heroes!" The girls thanked them for their kindness and escaped together.
The three of them searched the ship once. After confirming that all the women had escaped, Zhang Lie said,"Alright, Little Brother Chen, let's go up and sail.”However, when they returned to the bow of the ship, they saw that Eunuch Han had already boarded the ship with dozens of Sui soldiers and surrounded the three of them.
"Don't even think about escaping, you audacious scoundrels!" Eunuch Han shouted.”
"Damn it, this is bad!" Chen Jingchou said angrily.”
"Go, capture all of them alive!" Eunuch Han ordered.”Dozens of Sui soldiers drew their sabers and attacked together. Zhang Lie brandished his iron cudgel, Chen Jingchou brandished his long sword to meet the attack, and Xiaoxue brandished her iron hoop to protect herself. Zhang Lie and Chen Jingchou displayed their skills and started a massacre. In a short while, they had actually killed all the Sui soldiers.
Eunuch Han retreated in fear. Zhang Lie rushed forward and grabbed Eunuch Han. Eunuch Han pleaded in fear," Please, don't kill me…Don't kill me…"
"Speak! Do you know about the Divine Cauldron? Where did it go?"
" Please don't kill me…I'll tell you, I'll tell you…The Emperor is going on a tour in Jiangnan. Grand Preceptor Lord Yuwen offered the divine cauldron to the Emperor to increase the auspicious signs of His Majesty's dragon boat…"
"Cut the crap. Where is the cauldron?”
"The cauldron…the cauldron has already been transported south to the dragon boat!”
"To the dragon boat?" Chen Jingchou asked.
"Yes, yes…this…this time, we came to collect beautiful women because His Majesty is traveling south, and the Li Palace will need many beautiful women to serve him along the way.”
"Hmph, what a muddle-headed dog!" Zhang Lie said. What else do you know? What were those bronze vessels used for?”
"I, I don't know…Those servants really don't know either…"
"Hmph…you don't know?"
"The bronze was ordered by Eunuch Zhang, the director in charge of transporting the cauldron. As for its use, I really don't know!”
"Alright, thank you for telling us so much.”After Zhang Lie finished speaking, he released a force from his palm and actually killed Eunuch Han on the spot.
"Big…Big Brother Zhang!" Chen Jingchou exclaimed in surprise. He…he was just a eunuch, not one of those soldiers who knew how to fight!”
"Little Brother Chen, didn't you want to save those girls just now?" Zhang Lie turned around and asked.”
"Yes, I am!"
"If we don't kill this eunuch and let him call for people to capture all the girls that we've painstakingly let go just now, then who are we saving? Therefore, if you don't kill this guy, it means that you didn't save those girls at all. No, it might even harm them!”
"But, this…"
"Little Brother Chen, if you want to save someone, you have to save them completely. This is what a true hero should do!"
"Big Brother Zhang, I know, but…I…I really don't like to kill casually…It's fine if we fight on equal grounds, but when faced with an enemy who is unarmed and has no room to resist, I can't kill them every time!”
"Little Brother Chen, I understand that you are kind-hearted and do not like bloodshed. However, if you want to achieve great things, just being soft-hearted is not enough. Please remember this!”
"Big Brother Zhang…"
"True benevolence, especially in troubled times, is to kill those crafty people to protect the weak, not to rigidly adhere to the form of 'refraining from killing'. Little Brother Chen, it's fine if you can't accept this for the time being, but you'll have to face this problem sooner or later. I hope you can think about it carefully.”
"Yes, Big Brother Zhang…I understand. I will think about it.”
"Well, that's good. But to be honest, perhaps Yu 'Er should accept your good influence so that she can change her bad habit of being so headstrong. Come, Little Brother Chen, don't be depressed anymore. Set sail.”
Chen Jingchou pulled himself together and set sail. The ship sailed away from the shore and finally arrived at Daliang City after a few days of sailing. When the three of them disembarked, they could not help but click their tongues in wonder when they saw the magnificent city in front of them. They entered the city and inquired about the situation of the Divine Cauldron. They also inquired about Yu 'er's whereabouts. They did not find Yu' er's whereabouts, but they found out about the Divine Cauldron from an old man.
The old man's surname was Xu. He said to the three of them,"I heard that the emperor obtained a legendary divine cauldron that had been lost for a long time. He wants to use it as the treasure of the dragon boat! Yesterday, the divine cauldron has already been transported onto the dragon boat. I really want to know what it looks like…"
The three of them immediately went to the side to discuss. Zhang Lie said,"Everyone, since the cauldron has been transported to the dragon boat and there is still no news of Yu 'er in Daliang City, perhaps we should find a way to sneak into the dragon boat first.”
"Yeah, I think so too," said Chen Jingchou. Then let's go to the dock and see if there's a way to sneak into the dragon boat.”The three of them returned to the dock outside the city and came to the place where the dragon boat fleet was docked. They saw the guards patrolling back and forth, and they were extremely strict. Chen Jingchou said,"We have to think of a way to avoid the guards. Everyone, follow closely!”Thus, they took advantage of the gap between the guards 'patrolling and quickly crossed over. In the end, they actually succeeded and successfully sneaked over, entering the dragon boat fleet.
When they boarded the first boat, they looked ahead and saw a magnificent dragon boat team that stretched for dozens of miles. It was a wonder. Snowy was stunned and opened her mouth. "Alright, next, we have to find that cauldron…" Zhang Lie said.
"Big Brother Zhang, what if we find the cauldron but still haven't found Lady Tuoba's whereabouts?" Chen Jingchou asked.”
" I believe that she has the Divine Cauldron as her target," Zhang Lie said." If we still can't find her by then, we'll make other plans."”With this decision, the three of them carefully shuttled through the dragon boat fleet, searching one boat after another. They avoided many patrolling guards along the way and carefully explored the cabins to find the whereabouts of the divine cauldron. Unexpectedly, no one discovered it.
They avoided layers of defenses and arrived at a large cabin. There, they found a large cauldron. Chen Jingchou said,""Wow, what a huge cauldron! It seemed like this was the room where the Shennong Cauldron was kept.”
The three of them walked up to the cauldron. Chen Jingchou said,""Martial Aunt said in her letter that the Shennong Cauldron has gathered the spiritual energy of Shennong from the past. No matter how serious the illness is, it can refine life-saving medicine…It's really magical.”
"I really don't understand what Yu 'Er is thinking. Even if she finds such a big cauldron, how is she going to move it back?" Zhang Lie said. Sigh, this girl is always like this! Everything was rash. He had to do it first.”
"Big Brother Zhang!" Chen Jingchou said. Come and take a look." The three of them looked at the cauldron. Chen Jingchou said,""Big Brother Zhang, look, this cauldron seems to be very new.”Zhang Lie nodded. Chen Jingchou said,"Big Brother Zhang! If this cauldron is really an ancient divine artifact, it should be very ancient…Could it be that we've found the wrong one?”
"Oh, but that doesn't seem possible." Even the emperor had placed the cauldron on his dragon boat and had sent a large number of troops to guard it. Logically speaking, there should be no mistake.”
"Big Brother Zhang, have you seen the Shennong Cauldron before?" asked Snowy.”
Zhang Lie chuckled and said,"Good question. Actually, I have only heard of it and have never seen it before. The divine cauldron is a divine artifact of the Tuoba tribe. Although I'm related to their tribe by marriage, they didn't let an outsider like me take a look at the divine cauldron.”
"I see," Snowy said. I thought it was my first time seeing this cauldron.”Snowy went forward to touch the cauldron, but after touching the cauldron's ear a few times, the entire cauldron's ear fell off. Snowy's expression changed drastically. Chen Jingchou also said,"What's going on? This cauldron…how could it…?"
" I'm sorry," Snowy said." I really…really didn't know that the tripod couldn't be touched. I just touched it gently."
"Don't be sad, Xiaoxue!" Chen Jingchou quickly comforted her. It's Ding's fault, not yours.”
At this moment, Zhang Lie carefully examined the cauldron and said,"Hmph, as expected." Suddenly, a eunuch rushed in from outside. When he saw the three of them, he said in surprise,"W-who? How did you get in?"
Chen Jingchou and Zhang Lie immediately jumped up and caught the eunuch. The eunuch was so frightened that his face turned ashen. He hurriedly begged for mercy. Zhang Lie said,"You came at the right time. We have many questions that we want to ask you!”
" Spare…spare my life…Sir…please spare my life…"
"I can spare your life, but tell me what's going on with this cauldron first. Why did it become like this just by touching it?”
"Sir…this cauldron is fake!”
"If it's fake, then where's the real cauldron?”
"The real cauldron…it, it was on the way from the canal to this place when it was robbed by a group of bandits.”
"Bandits?"
"We…we don't know…we don't know who they are…we…we only know that the leader is very tall, riding a yellow horse, and holding two Xuanhua Giant Axes…he…he is very powerful, and we soldiers were no match for him, so…the cauldron was…was stolen by him…we were afraid that the emperor would be furious and punish us if he knew that we lost the cauldron, so the steward ordered everyone to collect bronze from the people. Cast a fake cauldron to make up the numbers."
"Oh? The emperor didn't even realize it in the end?"
"Yes…Yes…His Majesty didn't even notice and was very happy to reward us!”
"Hahaha! A fatuous ruler was a fatuous ruler. No wonder the world would be turned into such a state by him.”
"But, but…Grand Tutor Yuwen, who originally presented the cauldron to His Majesty, was also present…When he saw the cauldron, he actually frowned on the spot! Fortunately, Grand Tutor Yuwen didn't say anything, but he scared all of us half to death.”
"Hmph, I finally understand. Thank you for your information! Since you've seen us, please accept your fate!”Zhang Lie's eyes were filled with a fierce light, and he wanted to silence them. "Big Brother Zhang, please don't be like this." Just let him go on account of his cooperation.”
"Haha, Little Brother Chen, your old habits are back…Fine, I'll do as you say this time. I'll let you see for yourself what kind of consequences a woman's kindness will bring.”"Get lost," he said to the eunuch.
The eunuch ran out of the cabin in panic. As soon as he ran out, he shouted,"There are bandits. Bandits have come to destroy the emperor's divine cauldron.”When Chen Jingchou heard this, he was shocked. Zhang Lie said,""Hehe, Little Brother Chen, you should understand now, right?”Chen Jingchou was filled with regret." I understand," he said." Brother Zhang, I'm sorry."”
"There's nothing to apologize for. You have to face this kind of thing eventually."”
At this time, a large number of Sui soldiers were rushing over. Zhang Lie immediately closed the door and moved some tables and chairs to seal the door. The Sui soldiers shouted and fought at the door, but they could not blast the door open. "Let them scream here. We'll charge in from the other side. At the same time, we'll think of a way to find Yu 'er."”
Thus, they left the room through the underground passage of the cabin. They passed through the endless passage and arrived at the dragon boat in the middle. At the end of the passage, they found a huge pillar. Chen Jingchou said,"There's a pillar here. Let's climb up!”Zhang Lie agreed. The three of them climbed up the pillar and came to the huge beam on the top of the dragon boat.
The beams here were extremely thick and could be easily walked on. Moreover, they were very concealed. Chen Jingchou said,"Big Brother Zhang, I'm sorry…It's all my fault!”
"Haha, don't mind it, Little Brother Chen! I value your talent, so I deliberately took this opportunity to let you experience some things. Only then will you be more mature.”
" Thank you, Big Brother Zhang…but I'm still really…very sorry…"
"Look, who's that?" Snowy suddenly called out. Is it Sister Tuoba?" Zhang Lie and Chen Jingchou immediately looked over and saw a palace maid walking over from below. When Zhang Lie saw her figure, he said,"The figure looks very similar. It's possible." " And she's carrying a plate," Snowy said." I don't know where she's going…"
"Big Brother Zhang, should we go down now and confirm with her?" Chen Jingchou asked.”
"No, we're on the enemy ship now, and it's not easy to get away…Let's observe from above first."”
" Ah," Snowy said," she ran in the direction ahead. We have to follow her quickly!"”
The three of them shuttled across the beam in pursuit. They walked all the way to a hall on the dragon boat, and then each of them looked in a direction for the traces of the palace maid. Chen Jingchou bent down to look and shouted,""Come and see!" Zhang Lie and Snowy caught up. Zhang Lie asked,""What's wrong? Is it Yu 'Er?" "It's so lively down there…I wonder where it is?" Chen Jingchou asked.”
Zhang Lie also looked down and said," Uh, it looks like the Dragon Boat Hall should be below. We're right above the Dragon Boat Emperor's hall."”
"Really? So…the person in the yellow robe was the current emperor?”
"That should be right. He remembered that this guy was called Yang Guang. He was a shameless person who killed his father and brother.”
Snowy also came over to take a look and said,""Ah, so this is what the emperor looks like…"
In the main hall, Emperor Yang and Empress Xiao were sitting on the dragon bed. The officials were sitting in two rows below, drinking and enjoying the dance. It was very lively. Emperor Yang laughed and said,"Haha, everyone, today is really too good." The weeping willows on the riverbank have been formed. I will order the dragon boat to set sail tomorrow and head straight for Jiangnan!”
Prime Minister Yu Wenshu said,"The Emperor is using a young girl to pull the dragon boat. This is truly a beautiful act that has never been seen in history!"”
Another important official, Yu Shiji, said,"In order to prevent the ladies from suffering from the heat, the Emperor has also planted a large number of levees for them. His benevolence and virtue are widely spread. I am very grateful!"”
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was very happy. He said," Hahaha, spring water and green willows. Beauties complement each other. This is originally an elegant thing in the world!" I am a romantic emperor, how can I see so many beautiful women pulling boats for me and panting, but I don't think of a way for them?”
"Your Majesty is truly benevolent!" Yu Wenshu said. I would like to present a poem to Your Majesty, please accept it with a smile! Silk rope is beautiful and charming, fragrant wind and green willows cover the dense air; If it weren't for the deep kindness of the emperor's heart, how could the embankment be transformed into cool shade?”
Emperor Yang clapped his hands and said,"Good, good." Yuwen Aiqing's poem is deeply in my heart, wonderful!”
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty," said Yu Wenshu. It's just a humble poem, a shallow song, and it's a joke to Your Majesty.”
On the beam, Chen Jingchou gritted his teeth and said,""So this is the life of an emperor?”
"The commoners outside are in dire straits, but this dog Emperor is very happy!" However, I don't seem to have found that palace maid here. I'll go to the other side to take a look.”
Chen Jingchou and Zhang Lie walked to the other side to monitor the situation. Zhang Lie said to Chen Jingchou,""Speaking of which, this Yang Guang should be a very capable and intelligent person. However, his cleverness was misled by his cleverness. He liked to be extravagant and successful. The entire court was filled with flattery ministers, so the world was becoming more and more unbearable.”
"I heard from Master that our Chen Nation was like this in the past. That's why it was destroyed by the Sui people in the end!" By the way, Big Brother Zhang, the minister that the Emperor gave wine to earlier, the Emperor called him Yuwen. Could he be that Grand Preceptor Yuwen?”
"I've never seen Grand Preceptor Yuwen before," said Zhang Lie. Since his name was Yuwen, perhaps it was him? However, this fellow looks like a person who flatters and favors others. He is different from the impression I have of Grand Tutor Yuwen as a hero who can fight against ten thousand people.”
" Ah, speaking of heroes," Chen Jingchou said," Big Brother Zhang once mentioned that he had the intention to seize the throne of the Sui Family. Is this true?"”
Zhang Lie said," The world is in chaos now. There are many people who want to make a difference. This foolish brother is just one of them. However…this foolish brother believes that a hero should help the world to calm down the troubled times, not just fulfill his own ambitions. Only then can he be considered a true hero!”
"Then Big Brother Zhang can assassinate the emperor now. Isn't that faster?”
"Little Brother Chen, recklessness will only make the common people more embroiled in the flames of war…What this foolish brother wants to pursue is a path of long-term stability.”
Chen Jingchou didn't quite understand. At this moment, he heard Snowy call out,""Brother Chen, look! It's getting more and more lively down there." Thus, Chen Jingchou came over to watch.
Emperor Yang said,"I am in the mood for poetry today. Shall I also write a poem to express my love for you?" The clouds open and the shadow shakes the green water, the sky is full of spring cotton soft; Leading a girl with a graceful waist and thin branches, ashamed to kill the willows on the embankment…The charm of the silk and bamboo boat, the sweetness of the jade in the palace, the color of the mountains and rivers, the eternal romance, the emperor of the Sui family!”When the ministers heard this, they praised in unison.
Yu Wenshu said," Your Majesty's Yuefu has a far-reaching artistic conception and exquisite rhythm. We are far inferior to it. Speaking of today can be so happy, is the dike shade green willow gift…Good!”
Emperor Yang said,"Listen up, I've decided to bestow the royal surname Yang to the willow tree." From now on, all the willows in the country will be renamed willows and share the same clan as me. What do you think, dear ministers?”
"Your Majesty is wise," said the ministers. Grace to all things in the world!"
Chen Jingchou and the others didn't know whether to laugh or cry as they watched from the beam. Chen Jingchou said,"These officials and ministers are really having a good time. They're about to lose their world, but it's as if no one knows.”Snowy didn't understand. Chen Jingchou said," But it's really bad. It seems that we really lost the palace maid."”
"Brother Chen!" Snowy said. The palace maid sister might still be behind them, and perhaps only Brother Zhang could see her.”
Chen Jingchou walked over to Zhang Lie and asked,""Big Brother Zhang, we still haven't seen that palace maid. Did you find anything?”
"No," Zhang Lie shook his head."It seems that she has taken another path."”
Suddenly, he heard Snowy run over and say,"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, she's here. She's here." I saw that palace maid! The palace maid who looked like Sister Tuoba had just entered the Dragon Boat Hall with a wine tray!”
The three of them quickly walked over to take a look. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was so happy that he could not close his mouth and drank with his ministers. At this moment, the palace maid came over with wine and said,"This servant would like to add more wine for His Majesty!”
"Eh, I didn't give any instructions?" Emperor Yang asked.”
"Your Majesty, you've been at the banquet for a long time. The wine and food are cold, so I've come to add some new wine to liven things up," the maid said.”
Emperor Yang laughed and said,"Hahaha, I see!" Your thoughts are meticulous, I have neglected. Alright, once the wine and dishes are cold, it will hurt my elegant mood. Quickly add something new for me.”
The palace maid replied yes and was about to walk up with the wine when Emperor Yang suddenly shouted,"Wait a minute!" The palace maid quickly knelt down again, her expression changing slightly. "Don't move, yes yes…Slowly raise your head and let me take a closer look."”The palace maid raised her head. When Emperor Yang saw it, he praised,"God damn it, there is actually such a beautiful servant, I didn't know! Imperial wife, look, look, this child is really a peerless beauty, right?”
Empress Xiao also said,"She is indeed a beauty. ChenQie congratulates Your Majesty on your good fortune."”
"When did you come?" Emperor Yang asked.”
"Your Majesty, this servant came a few days ago…"
"Come, come, tell me, what is your name?"”
"This servant's surname is Yuan…"
"So it's Beauty Yuan! Come quickly, let me study carefully.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The palace maid walked up the golden steps. When she came to the Emperor's table, she suddenly shouted and used her strength to tear her clothes open, revealing a set of clothes. She also drew a knife in her hand. Immediately, the palace people around the Emperor fled in all directions. The ministers below were also frightened and retreated. Emperor Yang and Empress Xiao's faces turned ashen with fear. Many guards immediately rushed over, but the woman's martial arts skills were excellent. She waved her sword and turned the surrounding guards into ghosts. Then, he pointed his saber at Emperor Yang again. Emperor Yang asked in shock,"You, who are you?"
This woman was none other than Tuoba Yu 'er. She said angrily,""A fatuous ruler, a licentious and extravagant man, who only knows how to kill innocent people to brag about himself. Today, I'm going to kill you to avenge my parents!”
"Help, help!"
More guards rushed over, but they were still killed by Tuoba Yu 'er's treasured saber. The rest of the guards did not dare to come any closer. Tuoba Yu' er leaped up again and shouted,"Humph, stupid dog, do you know how long I have been preparing for this day? To me, fighting one against a hundred is just a common occurrence. You're dead for sure today. Obediently hand over your head!”
"Help…help…don't kill me! You, how much gold and silver do you want? I…I will give it all to you…Don't kill me!”
"Hmph, who wants your bloody things? Hand over your life." As he spoke, he stabbed towards Emperor Yang. Right at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed out and released a powerful Qigong wave, causing Tuoba Yu 'er to fly down and spit out a mouthful of blood. "You, you are…?" Tuoba Yu 'er asked in shock.”
A person stood on the steps. He was dressed in brocade clothes and was filled with killing intent. He replied coldly,"Great Sui Grand Tutor Yuwen!"
"Sui Country's…Grand Tutor Yuwen…?”
"How dare you come to the dragon boat to assassinate the emperor?”
Emperor Yang said,"Yuwen Aiqing, quickly, quickly capture this hateful assassin for me."”
" Damn it!" Tuoba Yu 'er said angrily." Since you're the lackey of the Sui Family, I'll deal with you as well."”He jumped up and attacked again. Who knew that Grand Tutor Yuwen would wave his finger and send Tuoba Yu 'er flying to the ground again. " I'm sorry," Grand Tutor Yuwen said." Let me tell you, with your current strength, you're not even a match for a single finger of mine!"”
"You!" Tuoba Yu 'er's eyes widened in shock.
"Since you have the courage to come to the dragon boat to assassinate me, I'm sure you're prepared to die…" Grand Tutor Yuwen said.
"How hateful…"
"I'm sorry, I've offended you."
Just as Grand Tutor Yuwen was about to kill Yu 'er, purple smoke suddenly rose and covered the sky. Grand Tutor Yuwen was shocked and immediately recognized this method,""This isn't ordinary smoke. It's created by the Phantom Valley Daoist technique!”At the same time, Chen Jingchou had already rushed to Yu 'er's side and said,""Quick, Lady Tuoba! Let's quickly escape from here."
"You are…you are the one from before…"
"Don't say anymore. Let's go." He grabbed Tuoba Yu 'er and used his lightness skill to escape from the hall.
Emperor Yang saw that the assassin was missing and was anxious and angry. He shouted at Grand Tutor Yuwen,""Escaped. The assassins have escaped. What are you still doing here?”At this moment, a soldier came to report that there was a fire outside. Emperor Yang was even more surprised. Grand Tutor Yuwen said,"You guys go put out the fire first, I'll protect the emperor!”The soldier immediately retreated.
At this moment, Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu 'er fled to the outside of the hall and met up with Snowy. Tuoba Yu' er said,""Wait, why are you here?”"We came with Big Brother Zhang. Big Brother Zhang came to Daliang to save you."”
"Ah, brother-in-law is here too?"
"Big Brother Zhang told me to create smoke and wait for an opportunity to save you. He set fire to the dragon boat and dug holes everywhere to create a diversion!”
At this time, the Sui army's shouts of pursuit were already approaching, but there were also many people fighting the fire and shouting that the bottom of the boat was leaking. Chen Jingchou said,""Lady Tuoba, the enemy is about to catch up. Let's not talk too much and escape from here first!”Thus, the three of them walked to the bow of the dragon boat in one breath. Chen Jingchou said,""Lady Tuoba, the pursuers will be here soon. Let's escape from the dragon boat to the river and swim ashore.”
"What?" Tuoba Yu 'er asked. Jumping into the water? If you want to jump, then jump. I'm not jumping!”
"What's wrong with you? Are you planning to go back and assassinate the emperor again?”
"I don't want to jump. I just don't want to jump. Why are you asking me so many questions?"
"Little Xue, time is of the essence. You jump first!" Chen Jingchou said to Little Xue. I'll persuade Miss Tuoba.”" Yes, Brother Chen," Snowy said." Then Brother Chen must hurry up too!"”With that, Snowy jumped down.
Chen Jingchou turned around and said to Tuoba Yu 'er,""Look, it's just like this. There's water below, so jumping in will be fine.”
However, Tuoba Yu 'er refused. Chen Jingchou said,""You…Why are you still throwing a tantrum at me at this time? If you don't jump, not only will you be in danger, but I will also die with you.”
"Then you can jump by yourself. I…I don't know how to swim at all!”
Chen Jingchou suddenly understood." I'm very good at swimming. Jump in with me. I'll be responsible for pulling you to the shore!"”
"No!"
"Stop fooling around and hurry up!"
"No, no, no…"
At this moment, an arrow suddenly shot over and hit Chen Jingchou's arm. Tuoba Yu 'er couldn't help but say in shock,""Eh? Are…are you alright?" A large group of Sui soldiers was approaching them. Chen Jingchou said anxiously,""Crap…the enemy is catching up…time…dragged on for too long…"
Tuoba Yu 'er regretted her words." I'm…I'm sorry. It's my fault…But I…"
"Hurry up and jump. I can only leave after you leave.”
"Damn it…Fine, I'll jump.”After saying that, he turned around and ran to the dragon boat's head, jumping down. At the same time, Sui Bing had already surrounded them and shouted,""You can't escape.”
"Hmph, if you can catch them, then come!" Chen Jingchou said.”Then, he waved his sword and forced back a few Sui soldiers. Then, he suddenly turned around and rushed to the dragon boat's head, then jumped into the water.
