The salt boat left the sea and sailed upstream into the Yangtze River. "Ke! Ke! Ke!" Following the knock on the door, Xu Ziling's voice rang in the room: "Come in!" Kou Zhong pushed the door open and saw Xu Ziling sitting cross-legged.

Sitting on the chair by the window, he smiled and said: "You are such a hard-working boy."

Xu Ziling said lightly: "I have a very ominous premonition that there will be trouble tonight." Kou Zhong sat down opposite him, nodded and said: "I came here just to tell you that we have decorated the enemy with two

The ship is hanging on our tail, and I really want to turn around and kill it."

Xu Ziling smiled and said: "Fighting strength is just a last resort. What's your idea?"

Kou Zhong shook his head and sighed: "No one knows me Kou Zhong more than Xu Ziling. We can't just sit on the boat and let others seek bad luck. If there are some shameless people who don't have the guts to do anything but have the guts to burn the ship and build it, then what will happen to us?"

This batch of salt is in danger."

Xu Ziling said: "The leader of the Kou gang must think more about the four boys Duan Yucheng, otherwise all the heavy lifting work in the future will have to be done by the noble hands of the leader of the Kou gang."

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "I'm begging you! Don't use this sarcastic tone to tease me again, okay? Of course I have thoughts for them. As a gang leader, if you don't care for the people below, who will give it to you?"

What about working hard?"

Xu Ziling also felt that his tone was a bit excessive and said apologetically: "It's my fault! Can you think of any clever ideas?"

Koo Zhong sat comfortably on the back of the chair, stretched out his long legs, and said: "After dark, let's do a big trick to get rid of the two boats behind..." Xu Ziling said with a smile: "You don't want to scuttle

Is it someone else's boat?"

Kou Zhong said distressedly: "You guessed it right again. In terms of underwater skills, no one can match us. Now those guys are making preparations. Later we will release a lot of smoke from the stern of the cabin to interfere with the enemy's attack."

line of sight, and then we took the opportunity to go into the water, one person serving the other's boat. This time we used a tool specially designed to cut ship planks. With our Yangzhou Shuanglong's peerless magic, we can do it in two or three strokes... Huh...?"

The sound of hurried footsteps came closer and closer. The short and capable Bao Zhifu shouted angrily outside the door: "The two gang leaders are in trouble. The enemy has caught up."

※※※

The two three-masted sailboats behind them chased to a distance of only about 40 feet, and they were getting closer and closer. They were obviously faster than their boats. The river they were in was deep and fast, with dangerous cliffs on both sides and dangerous shoals and rocks everywhere.

, is very dangerous. It can be seen that the enemy has already planned to launch an offensive by choosing this section of waterway.

The moonlight was very good that night, and the turbulence reflected the glow of the stars and the moon, like thousands of trembling silver snakes, which was extremely mysterious. Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong stood at the stern of the boat, their eyes focused, and they saw each other on the two boats.

There were more than ten people standing in the stands, giving them instructions.

When their eyes fell on the deck of the enemy ship, they couldn't help but gasp. It turned out that each ship had at least a hundred archers and trebuchets.

How can this battle be fought?

Kou Zhong's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, and he said solemnly: "Who are these two ships?"

The slender and handsome Duan Yucheng was at the helm. When he heard this, he shouted: "It must be a warship from Dajianghui. What they are good at is accelerating when turning. No other helmsman can do that."

Dajiang Hui is one of the Eight Gangs and Ten Hui. It has a long-standing reputation in the world and is by no means easy to deal with. The chief and deputy gang leaders are "Long Jun" Pei Yue and "Hu Jun"

Pei Yan and Liang Kunzhong were known to be ruthless and ruthless. They had already heard of their bad reputation when they were in Yangzhou, but they never expected that they would encounter these vicious people as soon as they entered the Yangtze River.

Kou Zhong bumped into Xu Ziling and murmured: "F***ing mother, you obviously can't beat me, what should I do today?"

Since their departure, although they had thought that they would encounter an enemy attack, they only thought that it would be groups of clowns or one or two masters who wanted to please Li Mi. They thought that it would be such a large battle.

The enemy had no chance of engaging them at hand-to-hand combat. Xu Ziling said calmly: "Abandon the ship!" Kou Zhong stared at the enemy ship that was chasing them within twenty feet and said in shock: "Then this batch of salt cargo must be destroyed?"

Xu Ziling asked curiously: "Master Zhong, why has your mind become so dull? It's just the two of us who abandoned the ship. Didn't you see that everyone on the enemy's side is equipped with water-spinning guns, just to catch our ship under the water after they sink it?"

Man. Then why don't we jump into the river first to prevent the enemy from wasting arrows and fat."

Kou Zhong slapped his forehead, used his strength and shouted at the enemy ship: "Pei Yue, Pei Yan, are you, a snake and a cat, acting wild or peeing?" A cold snort came from the enemy ship.

Both of them were stunned. The other's hum was loud but not high-pitched. It was obvious that he had profound skills and was not someone to be trifled with. If there were also other masters and more than 200 dark water-based warriors, combined with the snare and crossbow,

There is definitely a lot of chance for them to be captured.

A dull and dull voice came from the enemy ship on the left and said: "You two must be impatient with life. When death is imminent, you still dare to hurt people with your words. Be smart and stop the ship immediately. You think our river will be like sea sand."

Are you so easy to get along with?"

The two of them used their eyesight and saw that this man was tall and tall, with a bald head, a broad face, and a thick chin. He was wearing a black robe and was quite impressive. He was only in his early forties.

But what really attracted their attention was a young man in his twenties dressed in purple to the left of the bald man. This man was slender and strong, with a high and straight nose. He originally looked good, but unfortunately his eyes were unusually narrow, which made him look a bit awkward.

They are extremely out of proportion together and make people look very uncomfortable.

The reason why they paid attention to him was because of the strange gleam in his fine eyes. It was obvious that his internal skills were superior to those of the speaker, and he must be a tough opponent.

At this time, Ma Gui, whose face was full of acne, came behind the two of them and reported: "You can set off the smoke screen at any time!"

Kou Zhong was overjoyed and said: "Look at my gesture!" Ma Gui took the order and went.

Xu Ziling, trying to keep the other person's attention, laughed and said, "It's okay for everyone to make out and make out after the boat has stopped. I just don't know who is the leader of Dajiang Club who is speaking?"

The bald man shouted coldly: "I, Pei Yan, if you know what I am doing, I will lower the sails and stop the ship immediately, otherwise we will attack immediately. Then don't blame me, Dajiang, for being merciless."

The young man in purple let out a high-pitched laugh, and then said: "Brother Kou and Brother Xu are very valuable now, otherwise how could the second master Pei have spent ten days and ten nights chasing you. But we are not going to take you like others.

I just want to give you a gift, but I just hope to cooperate with you two and create great things together."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, and then they realized that the other party was coming for "Yang Gong's Treasure House".

Kou Zhong saw that the other party was several feet closer and shouted: "Who are you?"

Pei Yandai replied: "You guys are really blind. You don't even know Mr. Wang Kuijie, the only son of Wang Bogong, the number one master in Changbai. How can you learn to travel around the world?"

Kou Zhong was surprised and said, "Do Bi Xuan and Ning Daoqi know Mr. Wang? Then they don't have to hang out in the world."

Pei Yan's original intention was only to praise Wang Kuijie, but he was speechless when he heard this.

Wang Kuijie was even more embarrassed.

Kou Zhong knew that the other party would become angry from shame, so he hurriedly issued the order to release the smoke screen.

Sure enough, the enemy ship sounded a drum, and everyone bent their bows and set arrows, preparing to fire immediately when they got closer.

With a continuous rolling sound, more than ten stones about a foot square were ejected from the trebuchet and hurled towards them in the air. At the same time, four small windows opened in their stern cabin near the river, and four streams of black smoke erupted.

.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling immediately jumped up and used their fists and feet to fly away any rocks that might hit the ship's hull.

Before the enemy ship had a chance to throw stones again, the thick smoke followed the wind and enveloped them. The black smoke was continuously sent out by Bao Zhifu and Shi Jie using blowers, and in the blink of an eye, all the people behind were invisible.

Five fingers of smoke.

On the deck, Ma Gui, Duan Yucheng, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling were still young at heart, shouting and cheering, so excited. Suddenly there was a strong wind, and a man came out of the smoke, like a big bird, toward Kou and Xu.

The giant eagle pounced with the momentum of seizing the rabbit with a ball of sword light.

Kou Zhongyi was not afraid and shouted: "Well done!" Lightning pulled out the long sword, turned into a cold light, and struck the opponent's protective sword with a 'ding' sound.

The man fought hard with Kou Zhong, and was shocked to realize that Kou Zhong's sword not only carried an extremely cold zhenqi, forcing back all the energy he had filled with the sword, but also implicitly sealed his own

Shocked by the power of the knife, he used the force to bounce up, turned over in the air, and fell towards the observation platform on the roof of the cabin.

When Kou Zhong was shocked by his opponent, his blood was boiling, and he was secretly shocked by his opponent's power. Xu Ziling was already flying into the sky like an angry eagle, intercepting this terrifying opponent one step ahead, and exchanged several moves in the air.

Xu Ziling's weapon is his body. Except for the use of his hands and feet, there is no part that cannot be used for attack.

The man had obviously never encountered this type of attack before. He was split open by Zhu Ziling with his hand knife three times in a row. He lost all his stamina and changed direction, turning the ship over.

Xu Ziling also felt exhausted and safely descended to the lookout.

Only then did it become clear that this son was Wang Kuijie, Wang Bo's son.

Kou Zhong had already ducked under the enemy's landing point and waited with his sword drawn. He laughed and said, "This trip is really a good one!"

Wang Kuijie groaned in his heart, seeing Kou Zhong waiting in formation below, but he still could not fully digest Xu Ziling's invading energy with his sword. Falling down like this was really no different from committing suicide.

"laugh!"

A powerful arrow shot out from nowhere and struck at his back.

Wang Kuijie seemed to be doing something extraordinary. He raised his breath and miraculously rose up to a few feet, dodged the powerful arrows, turned over, passed Kou Zhong, and threw himself into the river.

Ma Gui rushed to the edge of the boat with a big bow, and shot another arrow at Wang Kui's intervention. At this time, the river behind the boat was completely shrouded in black smoke, and Kou Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Ziling jumped down beside him and said

: "This guy's sword skills are very powerful, I almost looked at him."

Kou Zhong nodded and said: "His Qinggong is also very good." Xu Ziling stared at the black fog behind him and said solemnly: "If we fight alone under fair circumstances, are you sure of winning?"

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "The number is five to five at most." Both of them felt heavy in their hearts, and they were no longer as confident as they were when they set off. The days ahead will not be easy to cope with.

※※※

The rising sun marked the arrival of a new day. The salt boat took refuge in a tributary of the Yangtze River and anchored in a densely wooded place at the bend of the river. After traveling all night, Duan Yucheng and the four of them needed a good rest. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling took on the responsibility of keeping watch.

Xu Ziling saw that Kou Zhong had found a small sharp chisel and was working hard to carve on the sword. He squatted next to him and said, "What are you doing?" Kou Zhong said proudly, "I want to rectify the name of my sword.

."

Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: "If this sword can be regarded as a precious sword, all the swords in the world, except for the special inferior ones, can be regarded as precious swords." Kou Zhong Surong said: "This is how I, Kou Zhong, can show my majesty.

An ordinary sword has become a world-famous weapon because of me, so let me fight with this sword all over the world, ha!"

Xu Ziling sat on the deck, next to the railing of the ship, took a deep breath of the morning air, looked at a group of birds flying in the sky, stretched out and said: "What the hell are you chiseling on the name?"

Old Kou Zhong blushed slightly and said softly: "The moon in the well!"

Xu Ziling was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but smile and said: "What a boy! How dare you get this good name all to yourself."
