Wang Yan's surprise was not trivial. There was nothing to block it, so he had to bend down and seal the hole with his palms, saying, "What can we do?"
Li Tai was also a little panicked. Although the river surface was different from the sea, the two of them were now in the center of the river, at least three to four hundred feet away from both banks. The river water was cold in winter. If the boat sank, it would be difficult to swim. Crossing the water can be said to be extremely difficult.
Putting all this aside, the whereabouts of the two men have been revealed. Even if You Weixue and the others cannot catch up immediately, they are afraid that other Liao naval forces will come to hunt them down.
If you encounter the enemy on the river, you will really have a narrow escape.
Wang Yan calmed down and said: "There is still a glimmer of hope. You and I must cheer up, steady the rudder, and plug the loopholes. Maybe we can still move forward a hundred or two hundred feet. When the time comes, we can jump off the boat and swim over. Maybe we can persevere." Get to the other side!¡±
Li Tai also hurriedly nodded and said: "Brother Li is still calm when things change. That makes sense."
At this time, the gap in the cabin wall was gradually widening. Wang Yan could not close it with a palm, so he simply blocked it with his whole body and endured the pressure of the cold river water.
Li Tai was not idle either. He steered the ship at the bow and put up the canvas, hoping to take advantage of the wind and travel a little further before the ship sank.
But now it is the winter weather in November, and the wind is blowing from the northwest. The two of them are traveling from south to north. It can be said that they are sailing against the wind, so Li Tai put up the sail, which is simply a disservice. Not only Instead of moving forward, we went backwards.
Wang Yanzhao used his body to block the gap, and suddenly felt tired and hungry. Seeing Li Tai's appearance, he felt sad in his heart. Li Tai was not good at steering, and now he made a mistake while busy. What should he do?
Wang Yan felt bitter in his heart, and Li Tai was also exhausted from his work. Although both of their martial arts skills are not weak, the power of nature cannot be compared to human power. At this moment, the energy consumption of the two of them is far greater than a fierce fight.
There was a crash.
Li Tai suddenly heard Wang Juan's miserable cry. He turned around and saw that Wang Juan seemed to be paralyzed on the boat, his body being washed away by the water. It turned out that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and Wang Juan could no longer resist the pressure of the water. . Li Tai's surprise was no small matter. To rescue. As misfortunes never come singly, he lost control of the helm and there was a roar. A gust of wind and waves hit, and the ship's plank completely cracked. A large amount of cold river water poured in, and the boat sank quickly.
The two of them looked at the river bank at the same time, and estimated that there was still a distance of three to two hundred feet. With a deep sense of despair in his heart, Li Tai still had time to joke: "I didn't expect that a person like me, Li Tai, would die in the same place as Brother Wang. I hope someone will find our bodies, and don't think that we threw ourselves into the river to die for our love." .¡±
Listening to Li Tai's joke, Wang Yan felt unwilling to die like this and bit his tongue fiercely. He picked up the body of the demon and disintegrated it, suddenly cheered up, and swam towards the shore with all his strength.
Li Tai was encouraged by Wang Juan. He also stopped saying discouraging words and followed behind Wang Juan.
The two of them were worthy of being innate masters, with long-lasting Qi. Wang Yan also stimulated his own potential, so he swam more than a hundred feet in one go. If we can maintain this speed, it won't take half an hour. You can swim to the shore.
But people are not made of iron after all. Under the erosion of the cold river water, Wang Yan felt that his paddling arms were getting heavier and heavier, and his mind became blank.
not good! The effectiveness of the demon's disintegration body is about to expire. By then, I will only be weaker than ordinary people. How can I possibly swim the next distance again?
Wang Juan felt a hundred unwillingness in his heart, but both physically and mentally, he was gradually becoming paralyzed
"Brother Wang, little" Li Tai, who was swimming behind Wang Juan, also noticed something strange about Wang Juan. He was about to give a warning, but a mouthful of river water poured into his mouth, and he was choked to death. Eight elements. After I calmed down and looked calmly, I saw that the distance between me and Wang Juan was already several feet away, and Wang Juan's head was also rising and falling.
Li Tai's heart tightened, and he was about to swim over to save Wang Juan, but the wind on the river was getting stronger and stronger. Although Li Tai tried his best to get closer, it was helpless that manpower could not overcome the power of God, but he was blown further and further away. , after a while, they couldn¡¯t see each other at all.
At this moment, Wang Juan didn¡¯t know Li Tai¡¯s anxiety, because he had almost fallen into a semi-coma state. He only knew how to drift with the tide and let the cold river water further erode his nerves, dragging him step by step into the gate of hell.
I don¡¯t know how long I have been drifting, maybe a long time, maybe just a cup of tea, just when Wang Juan was about to lose consciousness completely, he suddenly heard a woman¡¯s voice saying vaguely: ¡°Rescue him.¡±
Huh? So familiarSound!
This was Wang Juan¡¯s last consciousness, and then he knew nothing else.
*******
By the time Wang Juan woke up, it was already dark, but the room where he was lying was brightly lit.
The regular rhythm of his body made Wang Juan know that he was still on the ship. However, the room on this ship was decorated like a boudoir of a wealthy lady. Not only were there official gauze palace lanterns, but also half-rolled bead curtains and wisps of sandalwood, filtering through The curtain drifts up, and after inhaling the heart and spleen, it makes people feel refreshed.
Wang Juan, who thought he was going to die, suddenly found himself in such a luxurious room. It was as if he had escaped from the sea of ??suffering and entered a fairyland, almost like he was in a dream.
The sound of gentle footsteps came.
Wang Yan closed his eyes reflexively, trying to pretend he wasn't awake, but a sweet and waxy voice came from his ears.
"I saved you, but you pretended to be dead and lied to me. Is this the upbringing of people in the Shenhou Mansion?"
Wang Juan was shocked when he heard this, not because his identity was revealed, but because he remembered the owner of the voice. Isn't she
Wang Yan opened his eyes, and what caught his sight was indeed the face of a stunning beauty. Isn¡¯t it the royal goddess Ji Chan?
"Your Highness, Princess!" Wang Juan struggled on the bed and tried to sit up, but then he found that his whole body was so soft that it was almost difficult to move.
Ji Chan's eyes flashed and she said: "Yan'er is indeed very close to you, and I also told you my identity. Haha, when I first met you that day, you were just an ordinary guard in the Hou Mansion, and your martial arts skills were mediocre. I didn't expect that we are separated from each other. After a few months, you are already famous in the world, and your martial arts have also entered the innate realm. You really impress me!"
Wang Juan had difficulty sitting up and simply gave up. He wanted to get up, not because he had any respect for this royal goddess in his heart. On the contrary, this woman's viciousness frightened him, so he wanted to put on a show that would make him A safer position.
Ji Chan didn't know if she could see through Wang Juan's thoughts, and continued to say in a sweet voice: "Why don't you say anything? Why don't you say that I am also your savior? Don't I still deserve your thanks?"
Wang Yan took a deep breath, allowing himself to slowly recover, and then carefully said his words: "Your Highness, it's not that you are a commoner who doesn't know etiquette, you just want to think about how the princess, with her golden branches and jade leaves, could appear on the Yangtze River, You must know that the two countries are about to attack, and the most numerous people on the river are the Liao Navy. If we let them encounter them, wouldn't there be an unexpected danger?"
A smile appeared on Ji Chan's beautiful face, her red lips parted slightly and she said: "So you are thinking about me! It is said in the world that you are 'extraordinary in wisdom and unparalleled in loyalty', which is indeed true. It's just that I originally thought that your loyalty was only to others. Yan'er, but I never thought that she would care so much about me!"
Wang Jie smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are just laughing."
Ji Chan said: "Okay, okay, don't say you are the one anymore, so that Yan'er won't find out and blame me! Haha, you have been soaked in the water for a long time. When you were first rescued, your body was almost stiff from the cold. Now But it's better. How about I ask the maid to bring you some poria porridge to warm you up?"
The more gentle Ji Chan spoke softly, the more flustered Wang Juan became. The last time she gave him poison as a panacea, Wang Juan still remembered it fresh. Although he was half hungry, he didn't dare to eat Ji Chan's food. So I was about to refuse, but my stomach made an untimely growl.
When Ji Chan saw this, she smiled sweetly and clapped her hands. After a while, footsteps sounded, and a handsome maid brought fragrant white porridge and side dishes.
Wang Yan smelled this tempting fragrance, and the most basic human appetite defeated his reason.
For Wang Juan, hot porridge, paired with delicious side dishes, is better than delicacies from all over the world. Wang Juan was still unable to move, so he simply asked the maid to serve him and had a hearty meal. He was a little scared at first, but after eating, he lost all these worries and continued to eat five large bowls before he stopped.
Throughout the whole process, Ji Chan sat aside patiently, with a smile on her face, and seemed to be quite interested in Wang Juan eating, until the maid finished serving Wang Juan.
Ji Chan just said: "Haha, looking at the way you are eating, you are quite cute. No wonder Yan'er treats you differently. I want to ask you, why don't you go to the capital to find Yan'er properly? What are you doing here in this war-torn Yangtze River?"
Wang‡å secretly said that the drama is coming! He subconsciously wanted to make up a lie, but he thought that Ji Chan had saved his life this time, and had eaten and slept, so he owed a lot of favors. Besides, Ji Chan's appearance here was no accident. With her power, It's hard to say that he already knew his purpose.
When he thought of this, Wang Yan said truthfully: "Tell your highness the princessToday, Xiaomin attended a martial arts conference. At the conference, unknown men in black stole the Cloud-Fan Knife of Jiang Canglan and the Beggar Gang¡¯s treasured dog-beating stick. I went there just to track down these two magic weapons. Because I heard that the person who stole the treasure might cross the river, I took the risk to cross the river. "
Ji Chan smiled lightly and said: "At last you still have some conscience and you didn't lie to me with those lies. Then I will ask you again, when did you get so bold and dare to go to the Northland alone?"
Alone?
Wang Yan was shocked and his expression changed drastically. Oh, why did he forget about Li Tai?
