Fang Jinshi shook off the dripping water from his trousers, then smiled and said to Xue Zheng, "I'm already on the boat, please let her go first."
Xue Zheng snorted and said with a smile: "It's really ridiculous. You know this is impossible, but you still make such a stupid request." He turned slightly and shouted into the cabin: "Set the ship."
Following the sound of a few paddles, the big boat started to move towards the river very slowly. The hull was so big that it could not be rowed by one person. There must be his accomplices in the cabin and stern, but in the night, In addition, the cabin was partitioned by curtains, so he didn't know how many of his accomplices there were.
As soon as the big boat Fang Jinshi was sitting on left the shore, Coach Lin and the others dispersed, looking for nearby boats to borrow, and wanted to follow them in the boat. Xue Zheng saw Xiang Jinshi and said: "You'd better let your people go." Come along."
Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "If you don't follow me, will you let me go?" Follow.
Fang Jinshi stood for a while and then walked towards Xue Zheng. He walked to Zhu Yanyan, squatted down and untied the ropes tied to her body. Xue Zheng suddenly pressed the knife on his shoulder and shouted: "What are you doing?" ?¡±
Fang Jinshi looked at the shimmering tip of the knife and said, "It will be very uncomfortable for her to lie on the ground like this, and the ground is cold. You have achieved your goal, so there is no need to embarrass her."
Xue Zhengdao: "You think I won't kill you?"
Fang Jinshi said: "You tried so hard just to get rid of me, of course you can't bear it, but you won't let me die so easily. You will let me die only after you have suffered my pain and fear, and If you kill me at this moment, how can you get away?"
Xue Zhengdao: "I have a way to escape, but it's a pity that you can't see it."
Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "I don't believe that a cripple with water skills will be better than my men, and I believe that you will be slashed before you fall into the water."
Xue Zheng was stunned, but he did not retort. He suddenly slashed at Zhu Yanyan's back with his sword. Fang Jinshi's heart sank, and he shouted: "You" Xue Zheng had practiced sword skills, and this sword was just Cut off the rope binding Zhu Yanyan's hands, Zhu Yanyan's hands were freed, and she quickly broke away from the rope. She twisted and sat up, reaching for the brocade scarf that blocked her mouth. Xue Zheng suddenly pressed down the blade, forcing Fang Jinshi to sit down. On the ground, he shouted: "You are not allowed to take it down."
Zhu Yanyan was horrified and stopped. Xue Zheng said: "Sit there and don't move. If you take it off, I will kill him immediately." Zhu Yanyan had no choice but to obey and sit down slowly, even though her teeth were holding the brocade scarf. It was very uncomfortable, but I didn¡¯t dare to reach out and take it off.
Fang Jinshi said: "Are you afraid that she will speak?"
Xue Zheng suddenly became angry and slashed Fang Jinshi's neck with the back of the knife. Fang Jinshi felt that his flesh and blood touched the cold blade, and his heart was about to fly out. When he touched his neck again, although it was very painful for Xue Zheng, But my head was still there, so I couldn't help but laugh.
Xue Zheng made him laugh so inexplicably that his heart trembled, and asked: "Why are you laughing when you are about to die?"
Fang Jinshi stopped smiling, looked behind him and said, "With him here, how could I die?" , Xue Zheng was so frightened that he didn't care about anything else, and swung his knife to grab him. Suddenly he felt the wind rushing behind his head, and he instinctively responded with the knife. A crisp sound of gold and iron colliding was heard, and Xue Zheng's mouth was numb from the shock. He Looking back, it was Li Bao who was standing not far in front of him and attacking him.
Xue Zheng shouted: "What are you doing?" Li Bao didn't answer anymore, raised the Persian scimitar in his hand, rushed forward, and slashed with the sword. Xue Zheng didn't care to kill Fang Jinshi, so he had to return the sword to receive the attack. Li Bao's sword skills were amazingly fast. , and in his hand was a strange-shaped Persian scimitar. Xue Zheng's kung fu was worse than before after he became lame. He took a peek and saw two more dripping people climbing up the side of the boat. Xue Zheng did not dare to fight anymore. After a quick attack, After rolling on the spot, he arrived in front of the cabin door. He stumbled and threw himself into the cabin. Fang Jinshi shouted: "Don't let him escape." Regardless of the danger, he and Li Bao squeezed and chased in.
Zhu Yanyan was stunned, and immediately took off the cotton towel that blocked her mouth, and followed her.
Fang Jinshi and Li Bao chased to the cabin. There was no one in the cabin. Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment when he heard several splashing sounds coming from the stern of the boat. Fang Jinshi opened the curtain leading to the rear stern of the boat. The scene in front of him was shocking. He was startled.
However, Xue Zheng did not escape by jumping into the water. It may be that the person who jumped into the water was another of his accomplices. He was standing behind a large cabinet with four high legs. This large cabinet was made entirely of brass, and there was a pole also made of brass. A long copper pipe, this copper pipe is supported by four thinner and shorter tubes, and the copper pipe on the front?? is connected.
Under the mast with canvas hanging high at the stern, a middle-aged man was sitting supporting the mast. One of his feet was locked to the mast by a thick iron chain. He couldn't escape even if he wanted to. It turned out to be Wei Chong.
Xue Zheng stood behind the big copper cabinet with a ferocious smile on his face. There seemed to be a fire in his hand. He was about to light something. Fang Jinshi secretly screamed that something was wrong. He lowered his head and wanted to escape back to the cabin, but he bumped into Li Bao. , the copper pipe seems to have seen the red light
At this moment, a person fell down from the mast very quickly. Before he could hit the ground, he kicked the big copper cabinet and turned it around. The air steward of the copper cabinet was originally aimed at Fang Jin, Shi and Li Bao. However, he was kicked by this person and instead aimed at Xue Zheng. A huge flame suddenly burst out from the pipe. In an instant, the flames burned Xue Zheng's whole body, and even Wei Chong who was sitting under the mast also burned. The two of them Suddenly it turned into two balls of fire. The intensity of the fire in the copper cabinet was really frightening.
The man who fell from the mast staggered back a few steps, then fell down. Fang Jinshi looked up and saw that the man was dressed in black and was a round-faced girl. She was Qiao Ling'er. Suddenly, there was a sudden explosion in the copper cabinet. Fire spewed out, and if she hadn't kicked the copper cabinet around at the critical moment, then Fang Jinshi and Li Bao would be on fire now.
Xue Zheng's whole body was surrounded by fire, but he instinctively knew to jump into the water to put out the fire. He turned over and reached the edge of the boat. Then he wanted to roll into the water, but he felt a tightness on his right foot and was hugged. The person who grabbed his foot was Wei Chong, who was also burned by the flames. His foot was locked on the mast, and he couldn't do it by diving or rolling to extinguish the fire. In his eagerness, he grabbed Xue Zheng's right foot and refused to let go. Xue Zheng struggled hard, but could no longer move. His hair and body were all on fire. Looking at the river in front of him, he could not get rid of Wei Chong and rolled into the river. The flames were extremely fierce and there was wind on the river. Soon, he would The mast canvas was on fire.
"Azheng!" Zhu Yanyan suddenly rushed out from the cabin behind Fang Jinshi, yelled heartbreakingly, and rushed towards Xue Zheng who was on fire. Fang Jinshi tried to pull her, but failed. The fire was extremely strong, and pieces of burning sail cloth kept falling overhead. Zhu Yanyan rushed forward, but could not move forward to save her. She picked up an oar on the ground and tried to beat it. She could no longer tell which one was Wei Chong and which one was. The flames on Xue Zheng's two people and a piece of burning sail cloth fell from above her head and landed on Zhu Yanyan's clothes, immediately igniting her clothes, but she didn't feel it at all and was still desperately trying to get the boat. The oar slapped the two burning men with great force. She had completely forgotten whether she would hurt Xue Zheng. Fang Jinshi followed. Seeing her clothes on fire, he pulled Zhu Yanyan to the side of the boat and sat in a small fishing boat near Zuo. Li Xiaozhong rushed over and shouted: "Save her." Then he pushed Zhu Yanyan into the river.
As soon as Zhu Yanyan fell into the water, someone on Li Xiaozhong¡¯s boat jumped into the water to rescue her and snatched her onto the boat.
At this time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the entire copper cabinet was on fire. With a popping sound, sparks flew out and ignited more things. The cabinet was full of oil. I borrowed it after it burned. The wind was so strong that the entire stern of the boat was on fire.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Fang Jinshi was afraid that the ship would sink if he didn't evacuate. He walked over and took Qiao Ling'er's arm and said, "Let's go." He wanted to pull her through the cabin to the bow of the ship and leave, but Qiao Ling'er followed him. She took two steps, said "Ouch", squatted down and pressed it on her ankle, with a look of pain on her face. The copper cabinet was very big, so she eagerly kicked it with all her strength and was injured.
Fang Jinshi looked at her expression and without thinking about it, he bent down and hugged Qiao Ling'er. Qiao Ling'er actually pushed him. Fang Jinshi carried her and Li Bao across the cabin, to the bow and down to the fishing boat borrowed by Coach Lin. Then he put Qiao Ling'er down.
The big boat was not too far from the shore. It just reached the center of the river. The incident was so big that the fishermen moored on the shore had long since woken up. They just saw these people holding knives and guns in their hands and did not dare to step forward. At this time, they saw The big ship caught fire, so they sent another boat to rescue and put out the fire. Seven or eight boats poured water around the big ship and quickly controlled the fire. When all the fire was extinguished, although the big ship did not sink, it was half burned.
Wan Qixi's punishment department and the government offices of Hepingjiang Mansion all sent people to deal with it. The punishment department took the previously captured thieves back and jumped in to escape. The helpers invited by Xue Zheng jumped in and Wan Qixi also followed. When people asked about the capture, all subsequent matters were handled by Coach Lin and his subordinates, as well as Wang Gui.
The sky gradually became brighter. Fang Jinshi looked at Zhu Yanyan, who was sitting motionless by the river. She was wet and leaning against a big tree, staring blankly at the officials of Pingjiang Prefecture and several official officials who were cleaning up the mess in the big boat in the river. After carrying two wooden boards off the ship and covering them with quilts, Zhu Yanyan immediately sat up and walked closer quickly. Xue Zheng and Wei Chong were so burned that they couldn't tell who was who. Zhu Yanyan took one look and said Fainted.
