059. Showdown on the River(1/2)
Qu Yang wore a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat, dressed as a boatman in the country.
He was rowing in his hand, his body was hunched, his face full of nervousness, and he looked nervously in the distance.
On the dock, the big ship in Shunfengtang raised sails, and the thick cables were unbuttoned one by one, and they were about to start moving.
Seeing this, Qu Yang, who was already worried, turned darker.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, let alone this "official" or an extraordinary official like the Jinyiwei?
When he saw Zuo Lengchan revealing his identity, Qu Yang suddenly lost his fighting spirit, fearing that he would be discovered by the other party.
The fear of Zuo Lengchan Dongchang is one of the identity, and the fear of his martial arts is the second. The important reason is that he is afraid of exposing his identity, which involves Liu Zhengfeng's Shunfeng Hall.
However, just as he was about to find a place to hide, Chen Chong suddenly got into the cabin and asked him to help him escape by driving the boat.
How could Qu Yang be willing?
There are many people on the dock and fewer people on the other side. As long as you hide carefully, you can still escape.
At this time, the river surface was clean. If you escape by boat, wouldn’t you expose yourself?
He was about to refuse, but Chen Chong said: "Brother Qu, Shunfengtang is Brother Liu's hard work. Don't you want to help him solve this hidden danger forever?"
Hearing these words, Qu Yang felt awe-inspiring, and completely gave up the idea of escaping.
Looking at Chen Chong, who stood solemnly and deliberately provoked Zuo Lengchan, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Chen, is your solution reliable?"
Chen Chong smiled faintly and said without looking back: "Brother Qu, I have already been angry with Deputy Lord Tian. He should have started to act now, so you should keep your heart in your stomach!"
Seeing that he was confident and looked confident, Qu Yang felt much more at ease.
Although he didn't know what he had conspired with Deputy Lord Tian, it can be seen from Chen Chong's expression that there should not be much twists and turns in the matter, so he turned around and continued rowing honestly.
Chen Chong turned his head, glanced at Qu Yang who was silent, and shook his head slightly.
Qu Yang felt that his identity was sensitive, so he was very afraid of the government and wanted to retreat, so he was even more unwilling to cause trouble.
Judging from his various words and deeds, coupled with the performance of the original plot, Chen Chong knew that although Qu Yang had good skills, he did not have the courage to give it a try.
Because of this, Chen Chong actually didn't want him to help-
On the one hand, he was not optimistic about Qu Yang's mentality, and on the other hand, the two were called brothers after all, even though the "brothers" in the world were not very reliable.
However, even with superficial skills, Chen Chong had the feelings of Qu Yang teaching music theory in his heart. If it weren't for the situation, he wouldn't want Qu Yang to participate.
Just rowing a boat, there are countless boatmen watching the ceremony on the shore. Which one is not competent?
But it's late autumn now, and the river is biting cold. If someone with weaker martial arts skills is used, if he doesn't enter the water carefully, he will probably not get up.
It was inevitable that he would implicate others, Chen Chong decided to work hard for his cheap brother.
Anyway, if you have yourself in front of you, as long as Qu Yang doesn't commit suicide, it will never happen.
The river wind blew by, blowing the cloak behind Chen Chong.
A man stood in his hands like a flag gun standing proudly on the bow of a ship, facing the wind without bending.
Seeing the Shunfengtang ship slowly approaching him, Chen Chong was not panicked, but instead drew a sword from his waist.
This is a soft sword, and it is also Zuo Lengchan's sword. When the dyeing cloth shop was about to explode, he snatched it from Zuo Lengchan's hand.
It was just because he had a short time to buy it, so he didn't have time to take a closer look.
Chen Chong did not know much swordsmanship and was not interested in using it for the time being. He took it out at this time just to make the qi Zuo Lengchan.
He held up his soft sword, waved it a few times, laughed a lot, then hooked his fingers to the big ship.
"Bang!"
Seeing this scene from the Qianli Mile Mile, Zuo Lengchan waved his left arm suddenly, and the solid wood guardrail was instantly beaten into powder when it was swept through the big sleeves.
He put away the Qianli Milestone and said to the strong man beside him with a gloomy expression: "Junior brother, ask the person in charge how long it will take to catch up with the boat in front of him."
The strong man nodded, walked to Tian Yushan, who was commanding the crew, and shouted: "My master asked, why haven't he caught up with the ship in front?"
Before the deputy hall master Tian answered, the old man beside him replied first: "Don't worry, sir, the boat ahead will be fast, it's just going first, and it consumes the boatman's physical strength.
Although the big ship started later, it can take advantage of the wind and does not require manpower. As long as we don’t lose it, we just need to wait until the other boatman can’t hold on, and then we can take it down calmly."
Although the man was afraid of dying by boat, he remained silent on his face and said loudly: "Since that's the case, I'll go back to the master first, and you two should do your best and never run away from the murderer."
The thief was extremely vicious and did everything to destroy people. If he was not arrested, the tragedy in Lord Lin's family would be right in front of him. If you took the person earlier, you can manage it with peace of mind, so as not to be scared day and night."
The old man bowed respectfully and looked extremely humble: "What the lord said is that I am all good people in Shunfeng Hall, and I often send thieves to the government to receive rewards. This time, I will not disappoint the three lords."
Seeing the so-called Shunfeng Lord was so respectful to him, the strong man felt very proud and thought that this official skin was really useful.
Then he waved his hand and signaled the two to urge the ship workers to catch up with the enemy earlier.
The two of them "depressed" and shouted and retreated to the stern of the boat, and came to the darkroom on the boat.
As soon as he closed the door, the old man hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Yushan, what does Brother Chen mean?"
The old man was naturally Liu Zhengfeng. As soon as he saw Deputy Hall Master Tian stand up and said he wanted to help Zuo Lengchan chase Chen Chong, he took the opportunity to pull him over and question him.
Deputy Lord Tian said that what he did was completely following Chen Chong's instructions.
He also said that Chen Chong left a message before leaving and asked himself to try to get Zuo Lengchan onto the big ship, but he didn't say much about his purpose.
When Liu Zhengfeng learned that Qu Yang and Chen Chong were together, he couldn't sit still.
He first found Lord Zhou and said he wanted to help him get out of his anger. Then he stood up and selected sailors and started the ship.
When selecting people, he was also careful. He put his boat skills in the second place, and he mainly chose good people with strong ideas.
Although he didn't know much about Chen Chong's plan, Liu Zhengfeng, as an old man, only guessed some signs from the previous brief exchanges.
At this time, the ship and the people arrived in the middle of the river, and Chen Chong's arrangement was halfway through. Liu Zhengfeng thought he should know what to do next.
After all, on the boat opposite, the rower was his old friend!
However, Deputy Lord Tian shook his head and said, "Old Lord, I don't know the specific situation. Mr. Chen just said, let's drive a big boat to carry Zuo Lengchan."
"Then what?"
Liu Zhengfeng asked anxiously: "Are we going up and overturning Zuo Lengchan, or do we find a way to push them off the ship? There is a general constitution?"
Deputy Master Tian smiled bitterly: "No more. As long as his boat slows down, we will lean on it directly. Don't worry about anything else. Just save your life and leave the rest to him."
"Well--"
Liu Zhengfeng was slightly stunned and said in shock: "Could he want to deal with Zuo Lengchan himself?"
At this moment, someone suddenly heard a cheerful cry: "Slow down! Slow down! The boat in front can't row anymore!"
Then he heard Zuo Lengchan laugh wildly and said, "Take my bow!"
The two of them hurried out of the dark room and quickly came to the deck. They saw Zuo Lengchan standing at the bow of the boat, looking coldly in front of them.
Liu Zhengfeng's heart tightened, and he looked into the distance. He saw a small boat a hundred feet away floating along with the river.
The rower was out of breath and pulled the boat with one move or another. He seemed to be exhausted, while Chen Chong was on guard and seemed very nervous.
The middle-aged strong man jumped off the mast, handed the strong bow into Zuo Lengchan's hand, and untied the arrow pouch and placed it on one side.
Zuo Lengchan raised the corner of his mouth, showed a cold smile, then pulled out a feather arrow and put it on the bowstring.
Just when Liu Zhengfeng was wondering why Zuo Lengchan didn't use his left hand, he saw his left foot lifting up high and posing as a golden rooster independent shape.
The next scene was completely beyond everyone's imagination - he pressed his left foot against the back of the bow, put an arrow on his horse boot, and actually opened his bow with his feet!
Zuo Lengchan waited for a while, and saw that the boat did not speed up, he shouted loudly: "Boy, do you dare to take me an arrow?"
Hearing this sentence, Liu Zhengfeng and Tian Yushan's hearts suddenly became nervous, fearing that Chen Chong would be too young and could not stand the method of provoking him.
Zuo Lengchan is known for his good shooting skills. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that an iron-fetal bow and thirty-six flying geese arrows are said to be able to penetrate leaves with a hundred steps, and I don’t know how many heroes in the world have taken the lives of many heroes in the world.
However, Chen Chong did not do what the two of them wanted. He just jumped gently and jumped onto the tent: "Just come!"
As soon as the word "come" was released, the arrow instantly broke through the air and headed straight for Chen Chong on the top of the black-sailed boat.
Seeing the powerful arrow coming, Chen Chong was also a little nervous. The "Thirteen Taibao's horizontal training golden bell cover" instantly spread all over his body, defending the upper and lower parts tightly.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow flew in front of him. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed it. Then he felt a huge force coming from his hand, and his whole body was carried back.
What a big stunt!
Chen Chong was secretly frightened and immediately used a thousand-pound pendant. Then the boat tent was made of bamboo and wood, and he couldn't stand the force at all.
"Crack!"
With only two crisp sounds, the boat tent instantly dissipated into a pile of rags, and Chen Chong's body was also taken to the air by the fierce arrows.
———
He also said that Chen Chong left a message before leaving and asked himself to try to get Zuo Lengchan onto the big ship, but he didn't say much about his purpose.
When Liu Zhengfeng learned that Qu Yang and Chen Chong were together, he couldn't sit still.
He first found Lord Zhou and said he wanted to help him get out of his anger. Then he stood up and selected sailors and started the ship.
When selecting people, he was also careful. He put his boat skills in the second place, and he mainly chose good people with strong ideas.
Although he didn't know much about Chen Chong's plan, Liu Zhengfeng, as an old man, only guessed some signs from the previous brief exchanges.
