【Chapter 548】
After several consecutive days of heavy rain, the sky cleared.
The sun is hanging in the sky, the sky is like washing, and white clouds are blooming.
Dozens of warships went upstream, breaking the wind and waves, and heading north.
On the fifth warship at the forefront of the fleet, Li Li gently held Xiao Qiao's shoulders, stood on the bow, and looked at the increasingly towering stone cliffs on both sides.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
A sound of footsteps came from behind, and Li Li didn't have to turn around to know that the person coming was Lu Su.
"Brother, it's been more than ten days. Xingba has been unconscious. It seems that there is so much danger!" Walking to Li Li, Lu Su bowed to Xiao Qiao, and then said softly without any grief or joy.
"Well, it's been a while." Li Li nodded slightly, his expression on his face was exactly the same as Lu Su. He didn't look happy or angry, he was neither anxious nor impatient, and he didn't seem to care about Gan Ning's injuries, and his emotions were relatively indifferent.
After a little thought, Li Li asked in a low voice: "What are the emotions of the Jinfan thieves? Is there anyone who is provoking trouble?"
"Brother, don't worry, everything is normal, there is no life." A smile appeared on Lu Su's face when he heard the sound. At this time, Xiao Qiao saw the two of them discussing matters, obediently bowed slightly and walked slowly into the cabin.
After Xiao Qiao left, Lu Su smiled and said, "In the past few days, Gongjin followed his brother's orders and strictly restrained the Jinfan Camp that had just been organized. He patrolled the warships every day and asked about the recovery of the injured soldiers. In this way, although Jinfan Camp is a team formed by water thieves, he is very awe of his brother. With Gongjin being good at comforting, Jinfan Camp has been completely stabilized. No one dares to violate the orders of the generals, and naturally no one is waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble. After Jinfan Camp was incorporated into the sequence of our army's battle camp, our army had the first naval army. Although there were only more than 1,200 people, it was better because of its skillfulness. Knowing the water conditions of the Yangtze River will be very beneficial to our army's formation of a powerful naval army in the future. Hahaha!"
After hearing this, Li Li showed a knowing smile on his face and said softly: "These Jinfan thieves are quite tactful and do not resist to the end. They all surrendered to us. This saves a lot of our efforts. With the help of these people, everything goes very smoothly. Otherwise, we alone have six people, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, and a poisonous dragon full of treasures. We can only sigh and cannot move these things without a month. However, after the Jinfan thieves joined forces, everything became simple. There are many people and powerful people, and thousands of people will work together to salvage the gold and transport the poisonous dragon. We can do it in four or five days. This trip to the Poison Dragon Pond has made a lot of money, which is an unexpected joy! Hahaha???”
"This is all my brother, the great fortune of the heavens. Good people will have the merits of heaven!" When talking about the Battle of the Poison Dragon Pond more than ten days ago, Lu Su still looked excited and excited when he recalled it.
Restraining the excitement in his heart. Lu Su calmed down a little and sighed: "The brother and General Feihu wanted to get rid of the poisonous dragon that day, but Yuge and Gongjin were not optimistic about it, and even had no hope. The reason why we did not dissuade us at that time was because we firmly believed that our brother had a sense of responsibility. Even if we could not get rid of the poisonous dragon, we could still escape unstoppable.
Unexpectedly, the result was much beyond our expectations! The brother immediately attacked the poison dragon's fatal hole, and used a small iron bead to break the poison dragon's eyes and ears, causing it to become blind and deaf. He fell into extreme madness and slapped randomly, greatly reducing his power. Then the Flying Tiger General was extremely brave. He cut through the poison dragon's invulnerable leather armor with one knife, almost cutting off the poison dragon's neck. The brother was even more quick and quick. He took action very accurately. The golden sword stabbed the poison dragon's huge mouth, with a blade reaching several feet deep, and he killed it with one blow! I still feel excited when I think about it now, and I am still excited and uncontrollable! Hahaha——”
After hearing this, Li Li's face was filled with an unconcealable smile. It was obvious that Lu Su's words had come to his heart and made him very happy.
After laughing, Li Li sighed, "That day's dragon slaying incident, it was the Jinfan thief who made great contributions. They were killed by the poisonous dragon head-on, and suffered huge casualties. More than 400 people died tragically under the claws of the poisonous dragon in less than half an hour. The scene was really bloody and tragic. It was precisely because of the heavy casualties of the Jinfan thieves that I gave me time to follow the poisonous dragon all the way and carefully observe its fatal hole. When the poisonous dragon beast was very powerful and fell into a semi-crazy killing state, Feihu and I suddenly attacked. If we didn't take action, we would hit the poisonous dragon's fatal hole. Fortunately, all my observations were correct. Thanks to the Jinfan thiefs' cover, I would hit the poisonous dragon with one blow. Finally, we joined hands with Feihu to kill the poisonous dragon.
However, what I expected was that the poisonous dragon's near-death counterattack was extremely powerful. The flying tiger could not dodge and was eventually hit by the poisonous dragon's claws, and was severely injured and almost lost its life. If the flying tiger died under the poisonous dragon's claws, even if we could get the body of the poisonous dragon and the treasures filled with twelve warships, how could we bear it? How could we bear it!"
Seeing that his brother was still worried about Huan Fei's injury, Lu Su hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, don't blame yourself. Although General Feihu was severely injured, he would not die. Brother Yu had just seen his injuries. He was indeed seriously injured and was extremely poisonous. Fortunately, his brother was eduine and took out his gallbladder after putting a poisonous sac from the poisonous dragon's belly. This thing can actually detoxify, and the detoxification effect is unique and it has a rapid effect. Now Huan Fei is awake and his injuries have improved. He will recover from the original state of rest for three or four months."
Speaking of this, Lu Su's tone suddenly changed and his tone was indifferent: "Compared with General Flying Tiger, the situation of the thief Gan Ning is not very optimistic now. After taking the antidote, he has been unconscious and his life and death are unknown. Fortunately, he has been breathing all the time, and his dark and green skin after the poison is constantly improving, otherwise he will be a dead body now."
Li Li said calmly when he heard the sound, "Gan Ning was poisoned for a long time. After nearly two cups of tea, the poison had penetrated into his body, and there was almost no possibility of survival. Fortunately, the process of killing the poison dragon was very short and the rescue was timely. Only in this way can he feed him the antidote when he was still breathing. Now he has been in a coma for more than ten days and has never woken up from beginning to end. It can be seen that the poison of the poison dragon is so powerful. I hope he can survive this disaster!"
"Brother, don't worry about the thief leader." Lu Su continued, "We have done our best to him, and then we will do our best to do our best to do our best. If he can survive, it is his own life and his life should not be eliminated. If he cannot wake up, it is that he has done too much evil and God will destroy him."
After his tone stopped, Lu Su's face looked indignant and said angrily: "In the final analysis, Gan Ning was responsible for his own actions. He was too smart to do anything, which caused his own life. He had been deliberately trying to trick us into the Poison Dragon Pond. We thought he was really comparing his brother with his nature and courage, but he didn't expect that this thief was sinister and wanted to use his brother's power to entangle the Poison Dragon and salvage them treasures to win time.
However, the sky has eyes, and the plan is based on people's success. All the thief's plans failed. Not only did he fail to get the treasure, but he was almost killed on the spot by the Poison Dragon. In addition, he also took the lives of hundreds of Jinfan thieves. The scene of the brother and the Flying Tiger General killing the Poison Dragon greatly shocked the Jinfan thieves, making them respect their brothers as gods and willing to bow their heads to wait for their orders. Afterwards, we successfully incorporated the Jinfan thieves, salvaged the treasure, divided the Poison Dragon, carried it onto the warship, and then cleared the Jinfan thieves' nest.
In this way, Gan Ning thief was in vain and he lost all his money. If he couldn't wake up for a long time, he would have to do so. If he woke up one day and learned about this, he knew that his life was saved by his brother, but he was afraid that he would die of shame and anger. What face would he have to see his brother again!"
Li Li was silent when he heard this and pondered thoughtfully: "People's hearts are unpredictable in troubled times. Although Gan Ning's move is a pity for his heart, his feelings are pitiful. Just from the instinct of survival in troubled times, it is also a matter of reason. People in troubled times use any means to survive. In fact, it doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong in nature. For us, they naturally deserve to die; but for them, it is natural to use us to achieve their goals, and it is understandable,,,,,,,,,,.”
"Hmm?" Just as Li Li was speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an eagle hovering above his head from the corner of his eyes, making a terrifying sound from time to time.
Suddenly, Li Li patted his head in great anger and said anxiously: "Oh, I almost missed a big deal! These days, Huan Fei was seriously injured and could not get up on his bed. He could not receive the message from Feiying. But I threw this matter behind me and forgot to accept Feiying. In addition, we were sailing day and night, and our whereabouts were unstable. Feiying could not find us at all, so naturally we could not deliver the recent situation in Xiliang to us.
Alas! I wonder if there has been a big thing in Xiliang recently, otherwise it would be a bad thing?"
While blaming himself, Li Li pinched his fingers into his mouth and blew a crisp whistle to the eagle in the sky.
The whistle is very special, three long and one short, with four sounds in total. After that, you need to pause for a moment and then do it again.
Such a strange whistle made Lu Su quite curious, but it was inconvenient to ask about it.
After Li Li whistled twice, a strange scene appeared in Lu Su's sight. But after seeing the eagle in the sky hovering for several times, it suddenly fell. When it fell more than ten feet above the warship, its wings flapped, and then slowly landed on the top of the cabin. Immediately afterwards, a pair of eagles glanced at Li Li and Lu Su, then flapped its wings and jumped onto Li Li's shoulders.
"Pu Pu Pu!" The eagle slowly closed its wings, and a pair of sharp claws grabbed Li Li's brocade robe on his shoulder. A small bamboo tube that was as thick as a thumb and was more than an inch long at the joint of his right claw.
Li Li skillfully untied the bamboo tube, took off the block, took out the letter and silk from it, and immediately pinched and unfolded.
"Oh?" Seeing the handwriting on Xinbo, Li Li's sword eyebrows suddenly stood up, his expression suddenly changed, and he pondered coldly.
"Brother, what happened?" Lu Su asked anxiously.
Li Li glanced at the brow and thoughtful, silently speaking, and handed over the letter to Lu Su.
After Lu Su opened the letter and silk, he saw the letter and silk brocade, and wrote on the brocade: "My lord was personally opened: A few days ago, the Southern Xiongnu Khan joined forces with 50,000 Baibo bandits in Fuluo, and the Southern Xiongnu Lao Wang gathered 40,000 war cavalry, and joined the western Xianbei tribes and the northern Qiang tribes, with a total of 150,000 troops and horses invaded the border of Beidi County. Before the letter, the barbarians had overcome several passes in succession and advanced into Beidi County, endangering the three servants. Please pray for the lord to return to the general's mansion to preside over the battle! Li Xuan and Li Rujing bid. On the XX of the year of Xin Geng."
