dream of red mansion

"Hurry up and release the boat, split up the manpower, and check if there are any enemies in the distance! In addition, pass my order to set up the artillery on the ship to prepare for any eventuality!"

"Yes!"

The guards led away, Feng Tang continued to watch the battlefield!

Soon, there was the sound of swords and soldiers on the river surface, and there were occasional screams of sorrow, one after another, obviously there were many intruders.

Feng Tang turned a deaf ear and stared at the distance and both sides of the river. Fortunately, after a long while, there was no sound of killing, and he was relieved.

Xindao: Fortunately, I listened to Lin Ruhai's suggestion when I left and brought enough Jinyi Army guards with me, otherwise...

"No, the ship is sinking!"

Suddenly there was the sound of rushing water from the whole ship, and many boatmen started running to the deck, shouting at the same time.

A guard hurriedly walked up to Feng Tang and said, "My lord, almost all the cabins have been cut through, and it can't be blocked at all. This ship is going to sink soon, lord, you should hurry up and leave in a small boat!"

Feng Tang was startled. You know, this is a standard official ship. The bottom plate is quite thick and strong. It can be pierced from the bottom of the water so quickly, or several of them are pierced together. The preparation of the other party is evident.

"Why panic? Is it because you can't water or do you think I can't?"

"But......"

"But what, hurry up and go to the alert!"

"......Yes!"

The battle continues.The official ship is also sinking at a visible speed.

The people in charge of several other ships found that the main ship was about to sink, and quickly released their own boats.

There is even the nearest one, quickly drive the boat to the main ship!

Seeing that the boat was about to sink, Feng Tang suddenly turned around, but instead of trying to escape, he climbed up to the second floor.

After a while, together with a few Jinyi soldiers, they brought out a few boxes.These are the most important things in this trip.

Evidence and confession!

This is what the emperor wants, and there must be no loss.

The boat next to it had also arrived, and quickly put down the wooden boards, and put it between the two boats, trying to let Feng Tang pass.

At this time, the deck was only two feet above the water, and men in black had already started attacking the people on board.For Feng Tang's safety, dozens of Jinyi Army soldiers entered the water and cleared out a safe area around the board.

"You guys, move things over there!"

"Yes."

A few Jinyi soldiers hurriedly started to carry the things from the bottom up to the boat over there.

shhhhhh

Several sharp arrows suddenly shot at the board, although most of them missed, but two people were hit by the arrows.

One of them couldn't stand stably because of the pain, so he rolled down the board.Seeing that the box was about to roll into the water, the others couldn't stop it, but saw a vigorous figure rushing out, holding it steady before it fell into the water, then dragging it up, and quickly going to the boat over there.

Fortunately, those who shot the arrows only had time to release an arrow after showing their heads, and were shot down into the water by the ensuing arrow rain, so they moved all the boxes to another ship without any risk.

The night battle is still going on.

Chapter Thirty-seventh IX

In the gloomy room, the light of the candlestick seems to be afraid of the darkness outside the house, and only dares to use its own weak light to illuminate the vicissitudes of the old man in front of the case.

Said to be an old man, in fact, he is not too old.Just because of the twilight air all over his body, he looks quite old.

Suddenly, a faintly invisible phantom flashed outside the window, and it seemed that even the lights flickered.

"You're here."

The old man said lightly.

silent.After two breaths, the door slowly opened, and a black figure stepped out from the darkness.

The old man was not afraid at all, and asked, "How is it?"

In the voice, a trace of suppressed expectation could be heard.

The black shadow stared at the old man quietly, but the old man couldn't see his face.

"Failed."

Sombra's voice was very deep, very deep.

"Oh."

The old man was also silent for a while, and then his voice returned to silence.The paused pen swam over the ink paper again, and wrote the last two words in the last place.

He folded it up and stacked it on the case, and then he looked up at the shadow, as if he wanted to see his face clearly.But nothing could be seen except the darkness.

"Go back and tell your lord, I know what to do..."

Sombra didn't reply, but the old man knew he could bring the message to him.

"I just ask my lord to take good care of my family and let them live!"

After the old man finished speaking, seeing that the black shadow had no intention of leaving, he smiled brightly, then picked up a bowl of tea by the desk, and took a sip...

The black shadow's body, which had not moved at all since entering the room, seemed to tremble.

After drinking the tea, the old man ignored the others and continued to deal with official documents at his desk.

The black shadow bowed to the old man, and then disappeared into the room, as if he had never appeared before.

Time continued to pass, and suddenly, a scarlet liquid slowly overflowed from the corner of the mouth of the old man who was writing an official document. He didn't seem to notice it, but twisted his brows, and continued to write the last comment in his life.

However, after all, it can't be satisfactory.The scarlet liquid continued to flow, and finally merged into a drop on the lower jaw, which fell on the official document, covering the old man's blurred eyes.

Suddenly, it was a bloodstain!

The old man had no choice but to give up his last wish, and slowly lay back on the grand master's chair, recalling all kinds of things in his life in his mind.

The apprehension of being a teacher in the school, the longing of studying hard in the examination room, the complacency of becoming an official once...

In the end, it was the innocent smiling face of the grandson.With a faint smile, he closed his eyes.
