The red sun sets westward, and the sun shines on the water, dyeing the entire river surface golden. At this time, the Yellow River is not as dirty as later generations, and the Han River still has some considerable places. It enjoys the water scenery at sunset. Even in the peaceful years, this can be regarded as elegant and even more rare in troubled times. However, Xu Le and his four men are used to reading articles with swords and swords. Although the scenery is beautiful, they cannot attract interest. Compared to enjoying the scenery on the water, they are more willing to wipe their weapons.

What's more, although Han Yue, Bu Li is no longer seasick, he has not yet achieved the point of seeing the rivers as flat. After watching the water for a long time, he is still dizzy and lingering in fear, so he naturally won't run to the deck. However, the sailors and boatmen have nothing to do at this time, and are just resting and watching the fun.

These people are all ignorant people and cannot say any wonderful words. They just feel that they have worked hard on the water for a day, and can eat hot rice and soup at this time, and then look at the sunset with their feet raised. In this chaotic world, some people are not concerned about the scenery, but are taking advantage of their leisure time to calculate how much reward you can get after walking, and whether they can find a chance to make a fortune in Jiangdu.

Someone muttered, "I heard that Jiangdu City is selling my mother now. A young and beautiful girl can be exchanged for a piece of silk. There are so many silks on our boat. Those people are careless soldiers at first glance and don't care about the number of wealth. Even that girl is not a rich man, and she has never paid attention to money and has never paid attention to money. If we take away a few pieces of him, wouldn't we beg for a wife?"

Another man cursed, "You are impatient to live? You can take silk? Don't think about how cruel those people are? If you don't talk about a few men, even that little girl will keep two daggers away. That day, I was just about to say something to her, and she was glaring at me. I was not afraid of you laughing at me. At that time, I felt that I was not glaring at me, but being stared at by some wild beast. I was sweating and couldn't say a word. Since then, I saw that little girl, I bypassed away and didn't dare to approach her. Are you stealing under their eyelids? How many heads have you grown?"

The boss of the ship said at this time, "You don't have to be afraid of being like this. I think Le Langjun is different from ordinary military generals. He is not the kind of rough man who doesn't treat people as human beings. He is very caring to us as human beings, and he is not a stingy person. We can't make any mistakes and steal them. When the person arrives, as long as he talks with him, he may not be sure to reward us with silk with a wave of his hand. If this news is true, wouldn't it be nice to take a handsome young lady back at that time?"

"It's okay to be fake. I'm afraid I don't have a baby girl when I have money? I'm the same with this money back to Chang'an. But the women in the city don't think about it. So many military men are not married yet, so where is the turn of our turn? But if the nearby countryside doesn't go to other places, I can think of a solution."

Another man said, "I'm afraid there is no little girl in Jiangdu for us. Think about it, there are not fewer military men there than Chang'an, and there is no enough for them to share with them. How could it be our turn? Besides, how can we sell people for a long time?"

The man spoke at the beginning and said, "You don't know this. It's because there are too many military men that I have to sell my mother. How can the little Jiangdu raise tens of thousands of military men? Besides, the emperor lives a lot in Jiangdu. Those military men are all northerners, so they must miss home. If they want them to stay, they must have a lot of money to reward and stabilize the people's hearts. Calculate the days, even if there is a sea of ​​gold and silver, it should be spent. If they don't find a way to make some money, what should those military men do if they rebel or flee?"

The boss of the ship nodded and said, "That's all. In my opinion, the news of selling the little girl in the city may not be true, but Jiangdu will definitely have many opportunities to get rich. The military man only recognizes wealth but not treasures. The treasures brought by the emperor are now useless. We must sell them for a good price when we get them there, and maybe we can exchange them for some treasures! In troubled times, the people will suffer, and those with abilities can take the opportunity to seek wealth. This is not only based on strength and martial arts, but also can make a fortune if we have good luck. Those who are incompetent like us all hope for peace in the world. No matter who this country belongs to, it is better to finish the war early. Otherwise, we can only hope that God is pitiful and let us fall into the great fortune."

Another sailor sighed: "I hope not to be unlucky. The ship carried these evil stars and went to Jiangdu again. If the fight started, there would be no sight on the battlefield and there would be no place to shout for justice if my head fell off."

"Look at what you said? Why is that?" The sailor who was thinking about stealing silk and buying a girl was full of disdain in his tone: "You don't think about it. Who is the Duke of Tang? They are a big family, not a commoner! Such a great nobleman has a wide range of social interactions, and he is also a cousin with the emperor of Jiangdu. No matter how hard he fights, he will be a family and will not tear his face. Maybe they have already discussed it, just let someone go through a formality. Otherwise, how can he let a warrior be an envoy? Listen to me, we will be safe and sound. When we arrive in Jiangdu, we will first ask for a reward, and then go to the city to see where we can find money..."

He was sitting at the moment of making a fortune and dreaming of making money, but the boss's face changed. He had lost all his previous laziness and comfort. He pointed his fingers ahead and said, "Look, what is that?"

Several sailors looked at the boss's hand and saw a tower top bathed in the afterglow of the sunset on the water in the distance, floating in the direction they were floating in. These people were experienced by old sailors and understood that this was definitely not a house or a pavilion, but they had seen many ships and had never seen such a tower-shaped spire ship. And from the distance, the size of this ship was scary, and I was afraid that it could not hold thousands of people. Even these sailors were knowledgeable, and they could not even think of what such a big ship would look like.

The boss of the ship's face became extremely ugly, and he murmured to himself: "Five-tooth warship! This is the officers and soldiers' five-tooth warship!"

"Five-tooth warship? What is that?" a sailor asked in a low voice.

The boss of the ship did not look at the sailor, stared at the tower that was getting closer and closer and said, "This is the largest ship of the imperial navy. Each ship can hold about a thousand people. This thing is not easy to use even during water wars. How could he come to this place? The situation is wrong! Escape quickly!"

The ship was in a good wind, and although it was huge in size, it was not slow. At this time, the whole picture was displayed in front of everyone. The ship was five floors, about two hundred feet long and more than a hundred feet high. There were six rods in front, back and left and right. Each rod had a wheel with a wheel. Iron cables were tied to the wheel, and huge rocks were hung under the wire. The huge rocks pulled on each wheel were huge in size and angular, with a weight of at least three hundred kilograms. This was the first time these sailors saw the Five-Tooth Warship at close range, which was intimidated by the power of the sea city. Even though they heard the orders of the ship boss, no one responded.

The Great Sui flag was hung on the warship, and the generals on the command platform were also wearing battle robes. At first glance, they looked like military officers and soldiers in the court. These sailors were used to walking on the water route, and they knew that their former boss had a backer behind the sky, and the navy commanders along the way could speak. If the small generals did not dare to provoke him, they would have to look at his winks. Now that they have changed their bosses, these military men did not know that the new master was more powerful than the old masters, and they might become emperors in the future. What are these generals? It seems that they are not water bandits but water soldiers, so the sailors are more at ease and do not understand why they run away. Just as the water city walls are getting closer and closer to him, a sailor hurriedly shouted: "Be careful! If you lean over again, you will run into it!"

As if they didn't hear it, the soldiers still blew the ship to the place of the merchant ship in the wind, and the boss of the ship was staring at the huge rocks. Seeing that the huge rocks were getting closer and closer to his ship, the strong soldier stood behind the wheel with his eyes showing fierce light, and someone had already put his hands on the wheel. The boss of the ship was so scared that he looked deserted, and he pulled his throat open again and shouted: "Escape!" As he spoke, he had already rushed to the side of the ship.

His reaction and movement speed were already considered neat, but it was still not enough compared to the opponents who had been prepared. Just as the boss of the ship was approaching the side of the ship, a shooter on the command tower released the bowstring. A sound of the bowstring sound was heard, and a feather arrow broke through the air. The arrow cluster shot from the back of the boss of the ship into the throat.

Blood blooms angrily!

The boss of the ship could not even scream, so he was killed by an arrow. However, his body did not stop immediately, but continued to move forward with the momentum of running forward, and finally, he was weak and the dead body fell on the edge of the ship's side, only one step away from the Han River, which he regarded as a way to live.

Although these sailors are used to walking on water and have competed with water bandits, they were attacked and even killed at will by officers and soldiers for no reason. This is the first time. Everyone was scared to death and even didn't know what happened at the first time. It was not until this time that someone screamed out, and then someone shouted: "Mr. Jun! We have never violated the king's law..."

The sailor who was determined to steal silk even opened his throat and shouted: "We are from Duke Tang, and there is also a secret envoy from Chang'an on the ship!"

The man in black robe turned his head and looked at the big man beside him, "It seems we are not looking for the wrong person. Since that's the case, don't delay!"

The man, known as the leader, did not speak, but waved the flag in his hand suddenly, and a few shrill bamboo whistles sounded. With the whistle sounded, the military man who was slapped the rods of the big ship loosened the wheelbarrow and the noose rotated rapidly, making sounds. Two huge rocks hanging high fell towards the merchant ship with the rotation of the noose, and the two roars were almost indistinguishable from each other. As the sound sounded, wood chips and flesh flew across, and the screams mixed with the sound of the hull shattering.

A huge rock hit the deck where the sailor was located. The sailor who was looking forward to getting rich and marrying his mother, three sailors died directly, and several others were injured. What was more worrying than their injuries was the hull.

Weapons such as slap rods are designed for water combat. Their effect is to destroy enemy ships and send opponents to the bottom of the water. Although the owner spared no expense to create an extraordinary texture, it was still a merchant ship after all. The most important consideration was safety and cargo loading was not a war. How could they stand the weapon on the battlefield? After the first round of slap, the hull was smashed to pieces.
