After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 87 Unfriendly soldiers and civilians

  He settled down: "The leader of the army now, is Zhong Shengguang or the Red General?"

   What kind of question is this? The guards were a little surprised, and one of them said: "The Red General presides over all wars, big and small."

  Thinking about this, the last guard turned around and ran back to fetch reinforcements.

  He Lingchuan saw it, but ignored it, and only said to the crowd: "You stand here, and I will release you in half an hour; otherwise, take the corpse of your companion back."

  He was sure that this move would work well for the Blackwater City army, but the guards in front of him looked at each other, and although they hesitated, they followed suit and were not threatened by him at all.

  The captive said with difficulty: "Kill me, they can't let you go!"

  He Lingchuan looked around, the hills were undulating, and the low shrubs could not hide, and the nearest village was four to five hundred feet away.

  The worst thing was that when the farmers by the canal saw the guards subdued by him, they all jumped into the water to chase after him.

   Now, he is under attack.

   You can't stay here for long, you must find a way out. Thinking of this, he grabbed the prisoner and moved towards the canal.

  Fortunately, the prisoner was thin and thin, and He Lingchuan was so strong that he dragged him backwards and trotted.

  The canal was built to divert water for irrigation. It is estimated that it is early summer at this time, and the water is still a bit turbulent. He Lingchuan stared at the small wooden boat tied by the canal.

  If you can go down the river, you can run much faster than human legs.

  No matter what, let’s get rid of these pursuers first.

  He ran like this for four or fifty feet. Although the guards refused to stop, they still cherished the lives of their companions and did not dare to rush up to arrest them.

  At this time, the sound of horseshoes was suddenly heard, and more than a dozen cavalry turned out from the col. Looking at the clothes, He Lingchuan couldn't be more familiar with them:

   Gale Army!

  There are still rangers from the Gale Army here, it’s really beeping.

  He Lingchuan didn't want to be captured anymore, so he cut his leg with a knife, then pushed him out, and ran away by himself.

  Two legs can't run with four legs, so he can't carry another burden.

   Fortunately, here is not far from the canal.

  He Lingchuan ran wildly with all his might, and jumped into the ditch with the momentum of the forward rush, slashing the rope that moored the boat with a knife. The wooden boat was pushed by the canal water and slowly swayed away.

  The sound of hooves is getting closer, and it is obvious that the cavalry is also sprinting. He thought it was too slow, so he bent down and pushed the canoe.

   At this moment, a warning sign suddenly appeared in my heart.

  He didn't have time to think about it, he rolled forward and fell directly into the boat.

This posture is a standard dog eating scorpion, but it is ugly, but it still saved his life, because in the next second, two feathered arrows hit, one hit the stud of the leash, three points into the wood, and one passed over the wooden stack , directly into the water.

  If he is still stuck in place, he will either be pierced through the throat or through the heart, and there will be no good end.

  However, He Lingchuan's movements were too big, and the hull was too narrow, so he turned it upside down with such a pounce.

   "..." Young Master He silently recited the Three Character Classic seven or eight times.

  What to do?

  With his strength, he could of course turn the boat upright again, but the cavalry were like wolves and tigers, and they probably had rushed to the side of the ditch by this time. Even if he went straight down by boat, at most he would get rid of the guards and peasants, but those cavalrymen would still stick to him, and would never give up until they found a chance to drag him up.

  Besides, there are still people who find time to shoot cold arrows. He is sitting in the boat, is he a standard target?

  To be honest, the moment he recognized Gale Army, he knew that escape was the kingly way.

   In just three to five breaths, those cavalry rushed to the side of the ditch first.

  The terrain of the Chipa plateau is special, and large troops cannot climb up, but there are often agile scouts who sneak in, spy on the military situation, poison and assassinate everywhere. Therefore, the people of Panlong City hate spies deeply, and if they encounter spies, they can't help but beat them to death. As long as the spies are still alive when they are handed over to the camp, the superiors will never blame them.

   They weighed the weapons in their hands, and were about to throw them as javelins.

   This move, the He family has seen it in Panlonghuang City, even Sun Fuping's enchantment was beaten to the point of collapse. From the looks of it now, it was a common skill of the Gale Army that everyone could learn.

   But when they reached the side of the canal, they were stunned when they looked down.

  There is only one wooden boat in the canal, and it is moving along the water with its bottom up, and the speed is surprisingly fast. At first glance, the spy was nowhere to be seen.

  The water is so clear that even fish and shrimp cannot hide, let alone a living person.

  A cavalryman suddenly pointed out: "Look, he's hiding at the bottom of the boat!"

   Everyone lowered their heads, and sure enough, a small half figure appeared under the boat—

  The kid actually curled up under the boat and moved forward with the hull.

  A cavalryman fired his long spear neatly, and it hit the bottom of the boat with a sound of "Duk". But the boat was still drifting forward, and no blood flowed from under the boat, apparently missing the enemy.

  The cavalry was cursing in anger.

  The bottom of the boat is rounded, making it impossible for people to stand up, and it is difficult for them to jump off.

  He Lingchuan used the whole ship as a shield, and the upside-down cabin was filled with air, enough to support him to breathe freely for a long time.

  The other person is underwater and blocked by a boat, so the shooter on the shore has nothing to do with him.

  Now he is curled up in the boat, kicking his feet on the bottom of the canal, pushing the wooden boat along the water faster, faster.

  Under the combined action of water power and manpower, the ship really accelerated, leaving the infantry behind in a blink of an eye, leaving only the cavalry behind.

   In this way, he traveled more than a thousand feet along the water.

  He Lingchuan had already calmed down his heartbeat and breath, and he secretly thought that something was wrong before he could think of a countermeasure.

  He couldn't see the scene on the shore, and he didn't know where he was drifting. Most troubling of all, he could feel the water level drop.

   That is to say, the water in the canal is getting less and less, and it is no longer rushing. The boat will not be able to float any further, and he has to face the cavalry on the shore.

  What should I do?

  This kind of canals used to be densely covered in the countryside, and bridges were built every distance, otherwise pedestrians could not pass through. Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat, and he reached out to the bottom of the boat to feel it, grabbed the spear and pulled it out forcefully.

   Then, he poked his head out from the side of the ship to observe the situation outside the canal.

  The bad news is that those cavalrymen are still chasing after him, and He Lingchuan got a few cold eyes as soon as he looked over. A chasing soldier pulled out a bow and arrow from behind, which scared He Lingchuan back quickly.

  The good news is that there are sporadic buildings on both sides of this waterway, so the front is either a village or a town market!

  As long as it is not an open plain, his success rate of escape will be greatly increased.

  He Lingchuan had a plan in mind, calculated the speed of the water in advance, brought the boat close to the side of the ditch, and suddenly let go of his hands and squatted down.

  The boat happened to pass under a wooden bridge again.

  It was about noon, the sun was shining directly in the center, and the shadow of the wooden bridge was perpendicular to the water.

   Then, the boat floated away from under the bridge again, as always.

  The cavalry continued to move forward without doubting it, chasing the wooden boat in the water.
