Chapter 612 Southbound (9)

It was not until the morning of the next day that Xu Le and his party began to observe their location. This was an unknown wilderness on the edge of the Han River. There was no people within a radius of more than ten miles, and it was not suitable for ships to be parked. It was precisely because of this that they only attracted Xiao Liu to make a fire here last night, but they did not attract others. This was convenient for the three of them to do things, but it was a bit difficult to find a boat.

The world is full of chaos and war, which is not conducive to merchants' trade. What's more, now thieves are rising and it is not safe to sail. Except for a few powerful merchants, most merchants will not go out to do business at this time, and there are not many boats on the water. Moreover, even if there is a boat trip, they may not necessarily bring Xu Le and his party with them. After all, this is not a ferry or a place to stop, and there is no need to dock the boat. No matter how skilled Xu Le is in martial arts, he cannot jump directly from land to the boat and force the boatman to dock to pick up his people.

As for asking for help from the shore, this is not a solution. People's hearts are sinister in troubled times, even if they are alienated from such a foreign beauty, they are not as important as life. Everyone's hearts are separated from their stomachs and do not know the other party's foundation, so how dare they invite strangers to their boats casually. After a short period of time, there were only three boats on the water surface, and none of them meant to dock and carry everyone.

Bu Li picked some unknown wild fruits in the forest. Although they were sour and hard to swallow, they could barely fill their hunger. When the group fell into the water and escaped, they carried weapons and a small amount of food. Xu Le also carried a letter written by Li Yuan to Yang Guang. In order to prevent accidents, the letter was specially wrapped in oil paper to prevent it from being wet by water. Now it seems that it is a waste of effort. This letter is no longer like this. Fortunately, the token of the Duke of Tang was still there, which can prove the identity of Xu Le and others. Several people did not take care of dry food when they dived to escape, but they were all big-bellied men who could not bear it if they didn't eat it. At this time, they didn't care about the taste of the food and had to eat it first.

Xiao Liu swallowed wild fruit with difficulty, and his eyes were a little red: "No matter how powerful Mr. Le is, he can't turn into a boat. If there is no boat to carry us, let alone save our eldest brother, we don't even know what to do! It's all because of the person behind the scenes. If I ask me to find him, I have to pluck him and get cramps!"

Xu Le looked at Xiaoliu: "What? Do you know who instructed those water bandits?"

"Look at what the husband said, I'm not stupid! I know that although there are many people who have the courage and means to do this, there are not many people who have the courage and means to do this. There are still a few people who don't need to do it. Everyone knows who the last one is! My elder brother has said long ago that as a warrior, he must be prepared to die on the battlefield. No matter what his martial arts skills are, as long as he goes to the battlefield, his life will not be able to be the master. My elder brother is willing to die for the husband. No matter whether he dies in the hands of the enemy soldiers or in the hands of the water bandits, there is no difference. However, the envoy behind the scenes first sent someone to deal with us with a five-tooth boat, and deliberately let the boats on the water not carry us. This is simply too much! This revenge is not a human being! No matter what his identity is, I will kill him with my own hands! Even if he dies together, it doesn't matter!"

Xu Le snorted: "If Han Da had a few things, I would have to do it without you. Wang Rengong is also a family member, and I still have the head of his head. What can he do? But things have not reached that point, and the surging ships of Han water cannot be cut off by human power. No matter how many means or authority the one has, it is impossible to cut off the north-south water transportation, and it is even more impossible for the ship to not carry us. In a while, we will move forward, and as long as we reach the ferry, we can find the ship. But I always feel that we can still find the ships here to carry us. If you don't believe it, try it."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Han Xiaoliu pointing to the distance and saying, "Look, look, signal!"

In order to prevent the ship from passing by, Xu Le also prevented someone from sneak attacking, he also carried out separately during the meal. The little wolf girl was already half full when picking fruits. At this time, the cat ate in the grass while being alert. Once an abnormality was found, she could inform her in time. Han Xiaoliu talked to Xu Le while looking at the shore. After discovering the signal, she also reminded Xu Le in time.

The signal sent by Buli proved that someone had come over and reminded the two of them to be prepared. Xu Le and Xiao Liu looked at each other, then each got into the grass and quickly approached Buli's position.

Although everyone is looking forward to the ship coming now, the ship coming may not be their own people. Yesterday's opponent drove a five-tooth boat to kill his group of four, which is obviously not a small character. Moreover, judging from their actions of capturing Han Yue alive, they are obviously determined to win the heads of their group. As long as they find that they are still alive, they will most likely pursue them relentlessly.

This place is neither a ferry nor a place for the stopping boats, and most people will not approach it casually. If someone really comes over, they should first see if it is an enemy or a friend before making a decision. When the two arrived at the grass, they saw that the little wolf girl had pulled out her daggers and held it tightly in her hands, her figure tense like a full bow, like a little wolf who was ready to jump out to hunt at any time. Just look at her appearance, you will know that she was naturally the opponent.

With the grass covering the two of them, they looked out and saw four big men in the distance holding straight swords, carefully searching for something. Not far away from them were several men with short spears watching and alert. A little further away, six or seven shooters were shooting their bows and arrows, obviously preparing to shoot arrows to kill the opponent once they found any abnormal movement.

Everyone was wrapped in battle robes, and several of them were wearing leather armor. Their armor and robe were basically the same as the Sui army's style, but looking at their expressions and actions at this time, you can tell that these so-called Sui army were the bandits who attacked their group of people yesterday in the Five Oscillator. Now the target they were searching for was also the three of them, and they were obviously preparing to catch them all in one go.

The reason why Xu Le is so sure is that he deliberately left the ashes after the ignition signal last night. These water bandits have good methods. If they have to find people like him, they will definitely find those traces, and then they will naturally go ashore to search. However, Xu Le's trap is quite hidden, and the careless bandits will definitely not be able to find those flaws, and they will not be fooled.

Those who can be tempted by this trap must be experienced and meticulous people, and such people are destined to be difficult to deal with. Now, just by looking at their actions, you will know that they must have been trained in battle formations, and there are also veterans who have experienced many battles, which are difficult to crack. Even if there are not many people, it is not easy to deal with.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met. Han Xiaoliu was red when he saw this group of people. Although his bow and arrow were carried out, most of the feathers in the water were lost, and the bow was also tide. It has not been dried yet, and it cannot hurt the enemy if it is insufficient. If you want to fight with the other party, you can only fight to get close to the white blade.

Xiao Liu is one of the few sharpshooters in the army. With one bow in his hand, more than a dozen people may not be able to get close to him. However, he is still young and weak in strength, and close combat has always been a shortcoming. Even though he has been with his brother since he was a child, Xu Le and even Xu Gan are skilled in martial arts skills, his lack of strength is always a shortcoming. If the opponent is reduced to ten times with one force, he will still be unable to withstand it regardless of rushing over and fighting. It is definitely not a wise choice to fight with such elite soldiers in close combat.

However, Xiao Liu didn't care about so much at this time, and was about to rush out to fight, but Xu Le was pressed and unable to move. He was so anxious that he stared at Xu Le straight at him. He also struggled, hoping that Xu Le would feel his emotions and quickly let go of his hand.

"What's the matter? Since they have gotten ashore, no one of them can escape! If a thief leaves, I will pay you my head." Xu Le murmured in Xiaoliu's ear: "Whether you are looking for Han Da or leaving this, you must fall on these people, and don't be too hasty. After fighting for such a long time, have you not learned the methods in the army? You can't just use your brain when you need it. Leave everything to me, and you'll follow your orders."

He muttered something in Han Xiaoliu's ear. Xiaoliu's eyes gradually became calm, and he subconsciously nodded. Buli handed the two daggers to his left hand, took out another dagger from his body with his right hand and handed it to Xiaoliu in front of him, and whispered: "You don't have the strength."

Xiaoliu understood that Buli said that he had no strength and it was easier to use a dagger than to use a straight knife. This dagger was made by Li Shimin and asked a skilled craftsman, but Buli didn't like it. He had always used the two daggers given by Grandpa Luo Dun. This time he entered Chang'an and found two real hundreds of refining treasure swords from the arsenal. Buli was so happy that he could not touch the pair of daggers except Xu Le. These two daggers also became a weapon for her to fight.

The dagger given by Li Shimin as a backup weapon to protect him and is generally not used. Even so, for warriors, weapons on the battlefield are half a life, and it is also a great deal to give them to Xiaoliu at this time.

Xiao Liu, who knew the Turkic rules and Bu Li's habits, did not get angry because of that sentence, but felt warm. He nodded to Bu Li, took the dagger, held the dagger in his mouth, and crawled quietly to the distance with his hands and feet. Xu Le nodded at Xiao Liu's back, and then turned to Bu Li, pointing at the men who were searching for movement, and compared several gestures to Bu Li. Bu Li nodded to Xu Le, and the two began to move in two directions, one left and one right.

After a while, a shooter suddenly realized something was wrong and shot an arrow into the forest without saying a word. Then several shooters followed him and shot the arrows. At the same time, beside the men holding straight swords, a big man like a tiger suddenly jumped out, and the straight sword in his hand turned into a white rainbow, slashing towards the man in front of him.

The big man who was supplied was a small leader, wearing a half-collar leather armor and a straight knife in his hand. He was also a famous brave man in his robes. However, these were useless at this time. The person who came was too abrupt, and with the ability of this big man, he had no time to defend himself. He took a step back in his busy schedule and just wanted to raise his knife to fight back, but he felt a coldness in his chest, and then he lost his strength and consciousness.

A blood mist exploded, and the big man's leather armor was cut open by the visitor without any effect. At the same time, the big man's flesh and half of his body were cut open. As the blood mist rose, the big man's body separated from his right shoulder to the left rib, falling off, and blood squirted wildly. Until his death, the big man did not realize that he was dead, and his eyes were full of surprise and reluctance.

The others were also shocked. The robe that had always been able to fight was completely armed and could not catch the person who came to death with one knife. How good is the martial arts, how fast is it, and how strong is it?

What a treasure knife! What a hot knife!
