On the peach blossom night in March, as long as you stand on the shore of the Huangshui River, you can clearly hear the sound of the river flowing. Every year in the beginning of spring, the amount of water in the Huangshui River will increase greatly, making the already wide water surface even more smoky.

This night, Huazhou City had some unusual movements. The original practice of never opening the door at night was broken on this night. The city gate quietly opened a crack and a person flashed out of the black dust. The man looked out of the other side outside the city for a while, then waved his hand to the city. Soon more people came out one after another, and in the end, they were in the size of more than twenty people.

Although it was already March, the night was still quite cold. These people were all shirtless, but they were covered with a small jacket, and everyone was barefoot. Under the leadership of the leader, everyone began to bow and head towards the Huangshui River.

At this time, two black shadows appeared not far from Huazhou City, but they were different from those barefoot and shirtless men, and they were still dressed as normal.

"Master Chen, I'm sorry to ask you to come out so late. There are so many people in the daytime, so it will inevitably be inconvenient for us to do things, so we can only choose tonight."

The person who spoke was Jiang Weizhen. He went to the Pangkui Restaurant to find Du Shaoyin to ask Chen Ming for help. He came to Huazhou all the way from Beijing, but it was not difficult to deal with the craftsmanship on the way. However, once he approached the boundary of Huazhou, the investigation became much stricter. In order not to reveal his identity, Jiang Weizhen did not bring the official document. Both of them entered Huazhou as ordinary people.

During the day, they could only live in the small inn. What Jiang Weizhen wanted to explore was the water level of the Huangshui River, so he had no need to enter Huazhou City. Moreover, he never went out during the day and only came out at night. He had always wanted to explain this, but Chen Ming never asked.

Jiang Weizhen thought that he had already explained clearly, and Chen Ming had to say something, but he still said nothing but walked along the bank of Huangshui. Jiang Weizhen didn't take this matter seriously, and planned to do the serious business first. As soon as he turned his head to look at Huangshui, Chen Ming suddenly pulled him under the nearby mound of soil.

What's the situation? Jiang Weizhen wanted to ask, but Chen Ming made a gesture of silence. He could only secretly stick his head out to find the surroundings. As a result, Chen Ming pointed directly at the Huazhou city gate.

What they saw was a scene that happened before. These men sneaked towards the Huangshui River. Because the water surface was already wide enough, they arrived at the shore of the Huangshui River without walking too much. Then, in the surprised eyes of the two men jumped into the Huangshui River one by one.

"What are these people going to do? Could it be that they are seeking death?" Jiang Weizhen said in shock.

Chen Ming seemed much calmer and said, "You will know by looking at it."

These men are floating and thick in the Huangshui River

In the night, they had become one with the Huangshui River. Even if they stood at the head of Bingzhou, they could not find them. Their behavior seemed very weird at first, but as time went by, their purpose began to be revealed. They were heading towards the ships of Xia Tang who were mooring on the shore.

The man in the lead had good water quality and was ahead of others from the beginning. Naturally, he was the first to arrive at the ship. The cold river water had made his lips purple, and the air emitted condensed into thin white mist. After being poured by the Huangshui River, his body emitted a healthy luster unique to young people through the night, and his facial features gradually became clear under the moonlight.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, short nose, thick lips, a kind of simplicity of a farmer, this person is Huo Qing, and those who are following him are soldiers with good water-like nature selected from the God Killing Cavalry. Their mission tonight is to completely destroy these ships. As for weapons, it is very simple, just a chisel, and everyone has one hand on their waists, so that they will not cause too much burden on their swimming.

Huo Qing waved his arms anxiously. When these brothers gathered around him, he ordered these people with gestures: In groups of three, dig underwater and dig the bottom of the ship, and the size of the hole should be free to enter and exit one arm. After that, everyone immediately left.

Huo Qing took the two of them and then dived into the water to the bottom of a ship closest to the Bingzhou city gate. The reason why this ship is so close to the city gate is that this ship is the command ship in this group of fleets, the ship that Yong Wuya is riding. In terms of size, this ship is also the largest in scale and will take the longest time.

Time is still second. The key is that the bottom of one side of the ship is already next to the shore. If you want to dig a hole, you need good water quality and hold your breath for a long time at a time.

Huo Qing looked up at the ship. From his position, the ship looked particularly huge. The ship was at least ten feet wide. It took twice as much time to swim just by swiming. In addition, the time spent on excavation was too much. Once the breath was not enough, you had to swim back and rest before going. This repeated repetition was obviously not a good idea.

The other two soldiers had already turned their sights to Huo Qing. He knew that he could never hesitate at this time, so he simply left the most difficult one for himself. He took a deep breath and dived into the bottom of the water and swam towards the bottom of the innermost boat. After finding a position, he took out a chisel and started hitting. The force on the bottom of the water was not as strong as on land. Each impact took a lot of effort.

Huo Qing asked himself that water quality was good. He had the best water quality in Qingshan Academy, but this task is really not easy now. After a few hits, he began to feel stuffy in his chest and had to return.

Ah! Huo Qing exhaled fiercely, enjoyed this precious breath for a while, and then dived and started digging. There were about ten times back and forth. When Huo Qing poked out of the water again, he was exhausted.

.So Huo Qing held the hull with his hands and wanted to rest. At this moment, the soldiers on both sides came to his side. They made gestures, meaning that we have all completed, what about you?

Huo Qing gasped and responded with gesture: I haven't, only less than five holes were dug out. The quality of this command ship is better than that of other ships. You can tell from the hardness of the bottom of the ship. The sharp chisel has been tossing back and forth for more than ten rounds before it can grind out a small gap. It has to continue to expand until the requirements of being able to pass through the arm.

At this stall, more soldiers swam over and asked for instructions. Seeing these people's respect and obedience to him, Huo Qing felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. This is the power of power, which can make everyone bow to him. Although he is now just a sixth-rank military officer. Since he has these helpers, why have to work on his own? After thinking about this, Huo Qing ordered the soldiers who are still in good physical strength to complete the remaining tasks.

While waiting, Huo Qing specially swam to the closest position of the fleet to the shore. With the help of the command ship's blocking, he secretly looked towards Bingzhou City. The city defense in Bingzhou is nothing special, and at night, some defenders patrolled back and forth at the top of the city. Huo Qing couldn't help but raise his lips: When you get up tomorrow, you will find the gift we gave you!

There was an irregular and unstable water change at the bottom of the water. Huo Qing knew that the mission must have been completed, so he immediately ordered everyone to retreat immediately. These men quietly retreated from the fleet as they came, and then crossed the Huangshui River and returned to the shore of Huazhou. This time it took five hours to go back and forth, and it was already late at night.

Huo Qing and others had a task, but Jiang Weizhen and Shen Ming did not. They were originally here to investigate the water level of the Huangshui River. It was naturally a good thing to find some clues. Even if they couldn't find them, they didn't need to explain them to anyone. However, they both waited on the shore for five hours. During this process, they were drowsy several times, and they just stuck with Shen Ming slashing their thighs with a dagger.

Their persistence was ultimately useful. When these men came ashore, the faint morning light Shen Ming quickly recognized Huo Qing, who was in the lead. It was indeed a bit embarrassing to meet in such a situation. Huo Qing looked very tired. All they wanted to do was to return to the city as soon as possible.

Shen Ming looked back at the ships of the Tang Dynasty outside Bingzhou City in the distance. The outermost ships had obviously begun to sink. It turned out that they were going to do this! Shen Ming all understood that he could not agree with this approach and naturally would not object to it, but this kind of thing was obviously very risky. Huo Qing was really taking risks to do this.

"They all entered the city!" Jiang Weizhen reminded.

"Let's go back first!" Shen Ming didn't care whether Jiang Weizhen was willing or not, so he pulled him back. When the two returned to the small inn, it was already morning, and many people started to eat breakfast, but what they wanted most was to sleep.
Chapter completed!
