"General Lin, I didn't expect you to have seasickness. Forget it, I'll go over first. Don't make me wait!”Ma Jingcong smiled as he boarded the boat first. He and some guards and servants brought their luggage and horses to cross the river first.
Lin Shu watched as Ma Jingcong left, then whispered a few words to the guards. Not long after, the boats returned. The two injured guards had already followed Ma Jingcong, and the remaining 18 guards brought their horses back onto the boats. Lin Shu still did not board the boats, but stood on the shore as if she was admiring the scenery. When the guards crossed the river again, the boats returned. One of the boats had a long rope tied to it. The rope was buried in the water and spanned across the 300-foot-wide river.
Lin Shu boarded the boat. The oar was rowed by a middle-aged man. He was just a fisherman who had been temporarily recruited by the government. It was the first time he had seen such a scene. He was trembling along the way. Although he felt that this official's behavior was very strange, he did not dare to say a word, afraid that he would accidentally offend the official in front of him and lose his head.
Lin Shu looked at the fisherman in front of him and said a few words to him with a smile. The other party only replied in fear. When the boat had not traveled a third of the way, he suddenly saw a few slender reed pipes slowly approaching from the river. They were only a hundred feet away from his boat, showing the momentum of encircling his boat in all directions.
If Lin Shu's physical fitness had not been improved by the system in various aspects, it would have been difficult to see the slender reeds on the river from such a distance.
Seeing the reeds slowly approaching, Lin Shu chuckled. He had indeed guessed it. The other party had set up an ambush on the river and was waiting for him to cross the river to launch an attack. However, he was already prepared, so he was not afraid of them.
Without waiting for those people to completely surround the boat, Lin Shu suddenly opened her mouth and roared twice. The rope that was originally hidden under the water quickly straightened, and then a huge force pulled the boat forward.
Lin Shu stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the water nearby. The black shadows obviously did not expect Lin Shu to do this and were caught off guard. The boat was pulled by the guards and ran very fast. The encirclement was not completed yet. They could only watch Lin Shu rush out of the encirclement and walk across the river.
Perhaps because they realized that they had failed again, the assassins did not show up.
The boat docked and Lin Shu walked down the bow. Ma Jingcong quickly walked over and smiled."General Lin, you really have a good idea. There's even such a way to cross the river. If I had known earlier, I would have tried it.”
"If Eunuch Ma wants to try, we can try again!" Lin Shu smiled. However, I don't dare to do so. My legs were trembling from the shock when I was on the water surface just now!”
"Sigh, it's more important to hurry. Next time, if we have the chance to accompany the young marshal out of the palace, it's not too late to try again.”Ma Jingcong didn't suspect anything. He said with a smile and pulled Lin Shu on the horse again.
The scenery on both sides of the Yellow River was beautiful, and Ma Jingcong was interested in it. He rode beside Lin Shu and constantly pointed out the scenery. Occasionally, he would even recite a poem or two, which was quite suitable for the occasion. Lin Shu hugged Feiliu and rode on the horse. Feiliu widened his eyes and listened to Ma Jingcong recite the poem while shaking his head. Suddenly, he said,"Not good!"
Ma Jingcong was stunned for a moment when he heard that. Then, he chuckled and said,"What's wrong with Little Feiliu?"
"No!"
"Ma Gonggong, Fei Liu is saying that you didn't see the buildings and mountains mentioned in your poem." Lin Shu laughed.”
Ma Jingcong chuckled. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a miserable cry coming from ahead. His expression could not help but change.
There were at least a dozen people shouting and killing. Ma Jingcong was so frightened that his old face, which had been smeared with foundation, changed color. He shouted,"Aiyo, what's going on? Quick, quickly protect the emperor. Is someone trying to murder us?”
Lin Shu looked at the panic-stricken Ma Jingcong and couldn't help but sneer secretly. Just a series of shouts had scared him to this state. If he were to go to the battlefield, wouldn't he be so scared that he would pee his pants? However, he still said in a deep voice,"Eunuch Ma, don't be anxious. From the sound, it's not coming for us!"”
Ma Jingcong calmed down slightly after hearing Lin Shu's words. In the blink of an eye, he was abnormally angry. Was Huaiqing actually so chaotic? Someone had offended the imperial envoy in broad daylight. This was a serious crime that required execution.
"Eunuch Ma, wait a moment. I will go and take a look. I will definitely not let these bandits offend Eunuch Ma!”
"Alright, alright, I'll have to trouble General Lin to go over and take a look. I'm old and can't bear to see such fighting and killing, especially blood.”
Lin Shu smiled slightly, then her face turned cold and said in a deep voice,"Blades, line up! Let's go!"
The eighteen blade-edge cavalry that had surrounded Lin Shu immediately lined up neatly behind Lin Shu. The cavalry galloped forward, their spears biting cold. For a moment, a murderous aura spread out. Even the imperial guards protecting Ma Jingcong couldn't help but turn their heads and keep quiet out of fear.
