Chapter 62 Coming along the sea

Yang Shucheng followed the flow of people and rushed into Shanhaiguan, vowing to kill Wu Xiang and eliminate traitors for the country.

Suddenly, his sleeve was grabbed by Qiu Lin, and he shouted loudly:

"Wait a minute!"

"what happened?"

"You come with me."

Yang Shucheng had no choice but to be dragged by him and ran far away outside the pass. There is a valley on the left. The two of them ran into the valley. Yang Shucheng was full of doubts. He was about to enter the city. He didn't know what his purpose was in bringing him here.

Qiu Lin said: "Young Master Yang, sit down and I will analyze it for you."

Yang Shucheng casually sat on a round stone in the grass, and Qiu Lin also sat down and said: "It's not that simple. It suddenly occurred to me that many things like this have happened since ancient times."

Yang Shucheng was also familiar with history, and many things like this had happened. He looked at Qiu Lin, hoping that he would continue talking.

Qiu Lin frowned but did not speak immediately.

Yang Shucheng couldn't help but said: "General Qiu said that there were spies from the Jin Kingdom sneaking in."

Qiu Lin said: "The matter is far from that simple." He analyzed: "The traitor Wu Xiang can't do any bad things. He wants to shoot all the nearly a thousand Ming troops as Jin State spies, and then Show your merits to the court."

After hearing this, Yang Shucheng suddenly realized and said: "General Qiu, you are right. Cao Fengying is a traitor, and Wu Xiang who is walking with him is not a good person. They want to kill their own people to support the enemy."

Both of them were filled with anger, but they had no choice but to walk back and forth in the valley.

Sure enough, soon, fierce shouts came from the city. The two of them wanted to rush into the city to save countless lives, but the city wall towered into the clouds. How could the two of them fly into the city?

After nearly a thousand Liaoning soldiers entered the Wengcheng, they were imprisoned in the Wengcheng and were shot dead by the soldiers on the city.

Wu Xiang, the general commander of Shanhaiguan, wrote a letter overnight, saying that the Liaoning army was defeated. Jin Guobing rushed to Shanhaiguan City. He personally led the troops out of the pass and fought with Jin Guobing. He killed more than a thousand people and won a great victory.

The emperor was very happy to see that he had been defeated one after another outside the pass, and finally won a great victory today. He immediately issued an imperial edict to commend Wu Xiang, and made him the Marquis of Dingguo, promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. His son Wu Sangui was hereditary and guarded thousands of households. He went to Shanhaiguan to help his father resist the Jin Kingdom.

Yang Shucheng and Qiu Lin stayed outside Shanhaiguan for two days, wishing they could grow wings and fly into the pass, but the city gate was tightly closed.

The two couldn't. Decided to head north. After walking for two days, I came to the seaside. I saw the vast sea, blown by the north wind, with waves rolling like hills. Rows of seamounts lay down, and rows of seamounts rose up. The two of them My heart is as restless as the waves.

The Great Wall blocked the way to the south, and the two of them had their own country and could not return. Qiu Lin was at a loss and sighed: "I will be a ghost of the Ming Dynasty even if I die, but how can I go back!"

The two countries are at war here and the city gate is closed. How can we survive?

Yang Shucheng simply came up with an idea and said: "We can't go on land, let's go back across the sea."

Qiu Lin said happily: "Young Master Yang, you are right, let's cross the sea and go back." Looking at the undulating sea like hills, he said, "We have been swimming eastward, swimming to the outer ocean, and then swimming along the current to Go south."

"it is good."

The two of them had hope, and then they remembered that they were hungry. Walking to the beach, there are many tidal flats here, and the two of them picked up some marine fish stranded on the tidal flats.

The two took the fish to the rocks and lit a fire to grill the fish. Each person ate a few fish, and when his stomach was full, he lay on the rocks and basked in the sun.

The sun was already setting in the west, and the two of them ate two more grilled fishes. Look at the other side of the mountain where the sun is setting. The sky gradually darkened, the north wind began to blow, and the night tide surged like thousands of troops.

Qiu Lin looked at the sea, unable to calm down, and said to Yang Shucheng: "Young Master Yang, I am from the south of the Yangtze River. I have studied poetry and books since I was a child. Seeing the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, I gave up literature and martial arts to serve the Ming Dynasty. Who knew that the traitor was in power, and I I have wasted nearly ten years in the capital, and finally got a chance this time, but I didn’t expect to be killed by the traitor Wu Xiang again.”

Yang Shucheng said: "If God has mercy on us this time, and we go back to the south, we must kill this traitor and eliminate harm for the country."

Qiu Lin excitedly held Yang Shucheng's hand and said firmly: "Let's go back together and we must kill this traitor."

The night is deep, the stars in the sky are blinking, and the moonlight is rippling on the waves. The two of them leaned on the rocks and fell asleep.

At sunrise the next day, the two of them ate some grilled fish. A piece of wood was dragged from the shore and dragged into the sea water. The two of them walked into the cold water, lay on the piece of wood, and swam eastward.

There was a small island on the horizon, and the two of them swam toward it. It took nearly an hour before the two of them swam to the island. Lying on the beach, it was their first time swimming in the sea. They were exhausted. They lay on the beach and rested for a while.

I caught some fish near the sea and grilled them on the island. After eating the fish, the two of them walked around the island. It was a small island with no human habitation.

Looking to the west, there is only a trace line of the mainland, undulating on the waves.

In the afternoon, the two swam eastward again. This time the two of them had experience in swimming. After swimming for more than two hours, they came to a small island.

Standing on the island and looking west, there is no land in sight. I saw seabirds flying and screaming. I was in the vast sky and earth, and there was only the sound of waves in my ears.

the next day. The two of them were standing on the east coast. The sea and the sky were connected to the east. Where could there be an island?

Qiu Lin said: "Let's follow the current and swim southeast. Whether we can see the island depends on luck. Young Master Yang, it's all me who has caused trouble for you."

Yang Shucheng said: "What are you talking about? Although I am a scholar living in a remote country, I still have a heart to serve the country. I am willing to tide over the difficulties with General Qiu."

"it is good."

The two dragged the wood into the sea water, held it with both hands, and floated down the river.

The vast sea is boundless. The two of them followed the current and swam hard to the southeast.

The sun was overhead and it was already noon. Suddenly I saw the sea water boiling in front of me, and then I saw a large group of sea fish rushing towards me.

The two of them didn't know what was going on. They just lay on the wood and watched, and saw this large group of fish rushing past. The sea water in front is filled with white waves, rushing towards this side like hills.

Has the tide risen? The two of them didn't know how to be afraid, and they followed the rising and falling tide.

Suddenly I saw a huge fish head emerging from the sea. The fish head opened its huge mouth, with its upper lip touching the sky and its lower lip swallowing sea water. All the swimming fish and shrimps were sucked into the mouth involuntarily.

It turned out to be a giant whale.

Only then did the two of them feel scared. They quickly turned around, hugged the wood, and swam back as hard as they could.

But before they had time, the giant mouth quickly came behind them, sucked in as hard as it could, and sucked the two people into the giant mouth along with the wood.

The two of them were sucked into the giant mouth. This was a death struggle. The two of them hugged the wood tightly.

The log took the two of them and was sucked into the giant mouth. Due to the strong waves, the log actually stood up and got stuck in the fish's mouth.

The whale sucked in as hard as it could, and the wood got stuck tighter. The whale felt extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't breathe in anymore. There was a feeling of nausea in his throat, and his stomach was churning. When he vomited, he actually vomited out the food in his stomach.

The log was washed out by the rapid current.

The two of them still hugged the wood tightly and floated on the sea.

The whale suffered a loss and looked at the food on the sea. He didn't dare to eat anymore and swam away with his tail wagging.

The two of them saved two lives.

The two of them were sore and weak, lying on the waves and rejoicing for a long time.

There are still many dangers on the sea, but the two of them are determined and will not swim back.

The two continued to swim toward the southeast along with the current.

But their luck has been bad. They swam until dark and didn't see an island.

The sky turned dark, and the two of them were hungry and tired. They lay on the wood, unable to swim anymore, and let the waves carry them away.

By midnight, the two of them were desperate. Under the stars and moon, they could only see a dark patch in front of them. The two knew that it was not a whale, but a life-saving island.

The two of them regained their energy and swam hard towards the island.

Soon the two of them came to the beach and lay on the beach, letting the sea water lap at them, and they were too lazy to move.

The two of them lay there for a while, then got up, walked to the reef, and lay down, not even having the strength to catch the fish. I fell asleep lying on the beach.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the two of them woke up and walked over to catch fish in the shallow sea. Come back and eat grilled fish to replenish your strength.

The two rested on the island, and it was not until the next day that they made up their mind to swim south and die in the Ming Dynasty.

The two men made up their minds, dragged the wood over, and headed east again.

This time, on the sea, the two of them stopped swimming and allowed the current to carry them southward.

Until the sun shone in the sky, the two of them did not see an island, not even a seabird flew over.

It was not until the afternoon that I saw the shadow of a boat coming to the sea in the east.

Yang Shucheng said: "Look there is a boat over there."

"Yes. I saw it."

"I wonder if it's from the Jin Kingdom or the Ming Kingdom?"

Qiu Lin said: "According to the speed of our swimming, we have already reached the boundary of the Ming Dynasty."

"This is my Ming Dynasty's warship."

"It doesn't look like we are already in the open sea. I believe this is a private ship."

"Are there any private boats?"

Since Qiu Lin abandoned literature and martial arts, he has studied the situation outside the customs in detail. He analyzed: "My Ming Dynasty has been at war with the Jin Kingdom for many years, and trade has been closed for a long time. However, there are still ginseng and mink skins in the southern stores. Are these not all stolen from outside the customs?" Did it come here? Therefore, I concluded that this was a private ship owned by Chess. We swam over and followed them to Daming."

Instead, the two of them became less anxious and slowly approached the ship along the current.

The ship was getting closer. Even the sailors on the ship could see it clearly.

The sailors on the boat also saw the two people floating in the sea, gesticulating there. Everyone on the boat rushed to the side of the boat. Yang Shucheng and his two men swam towards the boat and soon reached the side of the boat.
