Prison Dragon

The river was turbulent, Yang You heaved and fell in the water, his head was held down by Yang Yuchun, and he avoided sharp arrows from time to time.

Yang You controlled the time, grabbed Yang Yuchun's hand and came out of the water, took a breath, and when he looked again, he saw that the surroundings were extremely dark, Xiao Ning and Jiang Ling had both disappeared.Jiang Tao slapped the shore, and the current rushed downstream towards them.

Although Yang Yuchun can swim, seasickness has consumed most of his energy, and he can't control the direction at all in the turbulent current.

Fortunately, Yang You was used to swimming in the Qiantang tide, so he hugged Yang Yuchun's waist and led him into the dive, the storm was raging, and Yang You couldn't do anything about it.

"Don't go ashore!" Xiao Ning's voice came from the shore, and he led Jiang Ling onto the shore first, with a roar accompanied by the sharp sound of swords and soldiers touching, "There is an ambush!"

Yang Yougang took Yang Yuchun to the side, when three black shadows jumped out of the water and immediately surrounded them, all the naked assassins were holding daggers, and they all rushed towards Yang You.

Yang Yuchun shook the long knife in his hand, drew the sharp blade out of its sheath, stood in front of Yang You, raised his sword, and cut the first assassin in half in half, blood scattered in the water.

Assassins are people who are familiar with water, seeing that Yang Yuchun still has the courage to fight, they no longer fight him head-on, but toss around in the water to deal with him.

Yang You looked back, there were black shadows chasing them under the water, he patted Yang Yuchun's face, pointed behind him, and told him not to fight, otherwise they would have to finish playing when the pursuers arrived.

There are assassins in the water, and there are ambushes in the case. On such a rainy night, there are no other ships sailing on the water surface. No matter which way you go, it is a dead end.

Only then did Yang You truly know what an assassination is and what it is to put someone to death. In this way, the assassination that Cui Jue met in Lidu at that time was nothing more than a small fight.

He swung his legs and swam quickly underwater like a fish. In the darkness, Yang Yuchun hugged his shoulders and slashed behind him, cutting the throat of an assassin who was close.

Four more assassins approached, but Yang Yuchun had no time to respond, the four knives blocked all the way out, before Yang You could react, Yang Yuchun grabbed his collar and threw it up.

Yang Yuchun blocked the assassin's knife with his arm, forcibly blocking a way out for Yang You.Yang You took a breath, Yang Yuchun was entangled by the assassins underwater, so he had to keep changing hands with the assassins, the four assassins cooperated tacitly, two were besieged in front, and two were secretly waiting for an opportunity to attack.

After all, Yang Yuchun was a monk who learned martial arts halfway. Even though he was very talented, he had left behind a lot of things, and he was fighting in water he was not familiar with. The two who were attacked seized the loophole, pulled out the rope from behind and strangled his neck, seeing a white knife was about to stab his chest!

Yang You was so stunned, he dived into the water again before he could think too much, and drew out his dagger to cut on the rope.

Unexpectedly, the rope was so strong, Yang You's knife slipped underwater, and he didn't cut the rope immediately, the assassins quickly surrounded him.Not only did he fail to save anyone, but he put both of them in a dangerous situation at the same time.

Yang Yuchun struggled in the water, exhausting all his strength, the rope around his neck became tighter and tighter, his vision was pitch black, but he still hugged Yang You with his will, blocking the assassin's sword with his flesh and blood.

The next moment, more assassins chased after them and surrounded them heavily. The four assassins held net bags and wanted to catch them.

Yang You exerted all his strength, grabbed the rope with his left hand, and cut it with a knife in his right hand. He cut his hand, but he didn't feel it.Seeing that the net pocket was in front of him, he couldn't escape under the siege, and Yang Yuchun's life and death were unknown. In desperation, he picked up the knife and rushed towards the nearest assassin.

The assassin's knife was faster than Yang You's, and it came to Yang You's eyes almost in the blink of an eye. He only saw a flash of silver light and a dull pain in his chest.

He lowered his head, the blade cut through the skirt of his clothes, revealing the five dragon scales worn by the red thread, the knife was on the dragon scale, the assassin's knife point picked up, Yang You took a step back, the red thread was broken, Yang You only had time to reach out Grabbing one end of the red thread, he saw the light of the knife was about to fall on top of his head.

Ao Chen...

Ao Chen! ! !He looked at the red thread floating in the water, and kept calling God's name in his heart.

If only you could hear...

Such a desperate situation cannot be escaped by manpower.

A wave came, and the assassin who was holding a knife to Yang You was overturned by the wave. The river flow suddenly became faster, like a roaring monster, and the wave broke up the crowd like a beast out of its cage.

Yang You seized the opportunity, hugged Yang Yuchun's waist with one hand, and dived down. During this period, assassins kept chasing him, and they all lost their way in the turbulent river.The river water washed up the sediment below, making it more turbid, hiding the figures of the two of them.

The raging river, the assassins are unable to get out of it, but Yang You seems to be in a no-man's land, moving and turning in the river, the waves are ups and downs, pushing him to swim intentionally or unintentionally, following the river, He was washed to the shallows.

With a crash, he was pushed ashore by the tide.

It is a vast reed beach, the reeds are as tall as a person, swaying in the night rain.

Yang You's face turned pale, he had cut his left hand, the wound was white with blisters, the red thread he was holding in his hand had only four dragon scales.Yang You looked at the river in front of him, grabbed the dragon scale and kissed it reverently, tied it again, and hung it on his chest.

Yang Yuchun was lying on the ground, Yang You cut off the remaining rope around his neck for him, and pressed on his chest a few times, Yang Yuchun coughed out a few sips of water and opened his eyes.

The two stared at each other in silence, Yang You's nose was sour, and he shed tears while hugging Yang Yuchun.

Yang Yuchun still had injuries on his body, but he didn't care about it now, he pulled Yang You and said, "Go inside, I'm afraid there are assassins chasing after you."

Yang You helped Yang Yuchun up, and stumbled to the depths of the reeds.

They stopped in the middle of the reeds, Yang Yuchun took off his clothes, Yang You tore his coat and bandaged his wounds. There were several stab wounds on his back, all of which were deep, and there were many wounds on his hands, large and small. His luggage had been lost underwater, and the only thing he had with him was Yang You's official seal and documents, and Yang Yuchun's knife.

Without medicine, we can only bandage to stop the bleeding first.

Yang You touched Yang Yuchun's forehead. His body temperature was very high and he had already started to have a fever. If he couldn't find a doctor or medicine, he would have to endure it.

Yang Yuchun was covered with wounds, but a cheerful smile appeared on his face, "Unexpectedly, I am really lucky."

Yang You touched the dragon scales, but didn't speak.

They rested for a while, and heavy footsteps came from the reeds. Yang Yuchun raised his knife and stood in front of Yang You. The two quietly hid in the shadow of the reeds.

There was a smell of blood in the humid wind, Yang Youxian saw the kick of the Taoist robe flashing past, and shouted: "Xiao Ning!"

Xiao Ning relaxed when he heard his companion's voice, Jiang Ling supported him, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

An hour later, Zhuo Xinhong touched the reeds unknowingly, but saw three big men lying side by side in the dark grass, and Yang You sat beside him, pulling a reed and wondering what he was weaving.

Zhuo Xinhong walked over and kicked Yang Yuchun: "Barbarian?"

Yang You hurriedly said: "Don't mess with them, they are all very tired."

Zhuo Xinhong reached out and touched Yang You up and down, and sat down after making sure that nothing happened. The two talked about their experiences to each other.

It turned out that seeing the bad weather, Zhuo Xinhong asked Qin Nao and the others to stop the boat and wait for the wind and rain to pass before setting off. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he was knocked unconscious by Qin Nao's men and then tied up.

Later, he took the opportunity to escape and was pushed here by the river, and by accident, he didn't suffer many injuries.

"We can't stay here for long," Zhuo Xinhong said, "I'm afraid they will catch up here soon."

Yang You went to the riverside with him to see the terrain, Yang You said, "Where is this?"

Zhuo Xinhong looked at it for a long time, the river and the sky widened, and the surrounding area was filled with the sound of water. Who knows where this is?

"Let's go now, we don't know where we will be washed by the water. What's more, we still have three wounded people with us, and you are the only one who knows martial arts, so if you go out rashly, you may have an accident." Yang You pondered, "I think the river here is wide and the water flow slows down. , and Ludang, it must be a good place for fishermen to fish and trade. Just wait until the daytime, when other ships arrive, and get on board with an excuse."

Zhuo Xinhong worried: "I'm afraid that Qin Naoji Chen will block the river."

Yang You sneered: "They are just soldiers given to me by the emperor, and they have no right to seal the river. Even if someone colludes with them, the Luoshui coast depends entirely on waterways for food, and the merchant ships that come and go in a day do not know how much it is. Who dares to seal it off? Who can seal it? As long as he writes to Jiang, the news of my accident will spread like wildfire. My father will not necessarily sit idly by, the southwestern governor is dead, and his soldiers are still alive, they will not be able to get rid of the crime no matter what."

"Just wait, there must be merchant ships during the day." Yang You pulled Zhuo Xinhong back to look at the three wounded.

Zhuo Xinhong looked at the sky, "There are still two hours before dawn."

Yang You said: "Boatmen and fishermen get up early, and they won't wait until dawn."

Yang You looked at his hesitant expression and said, "What do you want to say?"

"My lord, have you ever wondered who is behind the scenes?"

Yang You smiled, but didn't dare to light the torch, the rain had stopped at night, the wind was blowing, and the wet clothes on his body felt chilly. At this moment, the feverish Yang Yuchun turned out to be the best heater. He moved closer to Yang Yuchun, " It doesn't matter who it is, let's escape first. Anyway, there are so many enemies, they have to be dealt with."

Zhuo Xinhong wiped the sweat off Xiaoning's head, "I heard a few words while I was pretending to be dizzy. Qin Nao said, I thought that guy would just lie on the bed, who knows how capable he is."

Yang You was slightly stunned, "I didn't expect this level. The Wu family is from the Southwest."

Zhuo Xinhong nodded, "The Wu family followed Gao Zu to raise troops. His ancestor was Wu Bang, a general under Gao Zu. He was born in the southwest. Gao Zu made Wu Bang the king of Shu. Later, when the princes rebelled, the Wu family was deprived of their titles by Gao Zu, and there are still children in the court. Concubine Hui is one of the Wu family, and her father Wu Mu is the prefect of Shu County."

"I heard that Liu Wu, the governor of Jiannan now, has the intention of supporting his troops and respecting himself." Yang You thought of something.

"That's right," Zhuo Xinhong responded, "That's why your majesty favors the concubine and Wu Yizhi more, and the status of the head of the state has also risen."

Looking at it now, this is another Yang Ting's trick to check and balance. The man who favors the concubine actually uses everything that can be used.

They talked about the situation one after another, made a rough analysis of Southwest, and waited for other ships.

In fact, Yang You didn't know what to do, he didn't know if he could wait for the boat smoothly, but he couldn't show his timidity, he had to stand alone.He couldn't help but put his hands on his chest and prayed against the dragon scales, hoping that Ao Chen, who was far away in the capital, would bless him to escape safely.

Fortunately, no pursuers came here all night.

It was just before dawn, and the morning light was twilight, Yang You woke up the three people who were lying down, they supported each other and went to the side of the reeds to wait.

Before the fishing boat arrived, an awning boat came first.

A boatman is quietly punting the boat, and a woman in white stands at the bow, singing a lotus-picking song loudly.

In the south of the Yangtze River, lotus can be picked, lotus leaves are in He Tiantian, fish are playing with lotus leaves in the east, and fish are playing with lotus leaves in the south.

Xiao Ning washed his face by the water, and said with a smile: "It's not the time yet, what kind of lotus are you picking?"

Jiang Ling smiled weakly and said: "What do you know, the song of picking lotus is not composed of picking lotus, but it is actually using picking lotus as a metaphor for sex. If someone wants to sing it to his lover, who cares when?"

Xiao Ning stood up with a smile, "It's a pity, the little girl can't wait for her lover, but she will meet five rough people instead."

He blew a short whistle, raised his eyebrows and said to Zhuo Xinhong: "Junior brother, you can do this kind of thing smoothly, go and talk to the girl and give us a ride."

Zhuo Xinhong was dumbfounded.

Yang You felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

"Junior Brother?" Xiao Ning called out.

Zhuo Xinhong pushed aside the reeds and stood on the shore. White mist appeared on the river, and a lone boat was wandering on the river. A woman in white stood at the bow, holding a lonely lamp in her hand, singing a sad tune loudly.

"Chu Ge!" He roared loudly towards the river, his voice trembling.
