Chapter 436 Chaos in the Fire! (Please subscribe!)
After the boat stopped, the other people had almost packed up in the cabin, and they all ran out curiously, wanting to see where they docked.

When they saw that the boat was fixed on the shore in such a peculiar way, they all remained silent. At this moment, there might be countless grass and mud horses galloping past their hearts...

This way of docking is scary no matter how you look at it!
At this time, the sky had not yet completely darkened, and with the last light of the setting sun, one could still see the scenery on the shore, but after seeing the situation on the shore clearly, everyone's mood became even worse!

Because Quzhou is regarded as the dividing line between the north and the south, and it is more inclined to the south. There is plenty of light and water on weekdays, so the plants here grow very well.

On the other side is a forest, where the trees are towering into the clouds and densely packed. Such scenes are not often seen in the north. Looking back through the gaps between these forests, you can see that there is a mountain behind it. As for how high the mountain is , they can't see clearly, after all, it's too close to the shore now, and all their sights are blocked by the woods in front of them...

But this scene is more illustrative. It is estimated that there are some barren mountains and mountains around. It is difficult to have residents, let alone towns. It may be impossible to go ashore from here to find a way out.

So everyone couldn't help sighing. They thought that after the boat docked, if the terrain was good, they would get off the boat and find some carriages. After all, it would not take long to travel from Quzhou to Jinling even by land, so they continued here. On the boat, it seems too unreliable.

However, the last bit of hope is now shattered. Apart from sighing, everyone can only pray that the weather will be fine tomorrow, and that they will arrive at the fisherman's home that the captain said in a short time. Hurry up and repair the boat...

Everyone returned to the cabin in disappointment. After today's tossing, everyone was not in high spirits. They huddled in their own rooms, and no one wanted to come out.

However, because of the water, even staying in the cabin is very uncomfortable. There is a bad smell of being soaked in water everywhere, and the bed is also damp. It is difficult to fall asleep when lying on it tossing and turning.

Zhang Twelve followed Mo Li into their room.

She took out the beef jerky she had brought on board and ate some, and Princess Yilan lay down early again. For such a princess living in the palace, what she experienced today was indeed unimaginable, and she was also a little exhausted, so she lay down After a while, I fell asleep.

Mo Li and Zhang Twelve did not sleep.

The two sat at the table, looked at each other, and could see worry in each other's eyes.

"Go to sleep first."

Zhang Twelve said softly, today everyone is very tired during the day, and even more tired after nightfall, but he is a man, so it is understandable to ask Mo Li to go to bed first at this time.

After hearing this, Mo Li was not hypocritical, and replied: "Okay, then I'll go to bed first, and I'll come back to replace you later!"

After speaking, she went to lie down on her bed.

…………

The south was covered with overcast clouds, and after nightfall, the dark clouds floated over quietly, the sky was blocked by the dark clouds, and there was no light at all.

Even though it was like this outside, it was so dark inside the cabin that I couldn't see my fingers.

Zhang Twelve didn't even light a candle, and just sat there in the dark, listening to the noise outside, as if he was waiting for someone.

A few hours passed like that, and when it was early morning, there was still no movement outside. At this time, Mo Li had already woken up, walked over and said softly, "Go to sleep."

This is the most exhausting time, Zhang Twelve couldn't open his eyelids for a long time, so he went directly to Mo Li's bed and fell asleep...

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Twelve was awakened by the loud noises outside. He immediately sat up and asked, "What's going on?"

"look!"

In the previously dark room, there was now a jumping light. Through the window, Zhang Twelve rubbed his eyes and looked again. Where was the jumping light, it was clearly on fire!

How is this going?

The boat was already very wet, and no one lit a fire on board. Where did the fire come from?
Zhang Twelve and Mo Li looked at each other, and immediately understood that this fire was caused by someone deliberately!
Both of them stood up, Mo Li took out a sword at some point, and looked in the direction of the door fixedly, while Princess Yilan was also woken up, she sat up and muttered: "What's wrong?"

"It's on fire!"

Before the two of them could answer, shouts rang out from outside the room!
"Bang bang bang!"

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door vigorously.

Mo Li walked over directly, while Zhang Twelve took two steps back and came to Princess Yilan first to prepare for any unexpected events.

Mo Li glanced back, and then opened the door, only to see a fat man dressed as a boatman standing outside the door, with his hands raised in a posture of smashing the door.

"what happened?"

"Miss Hui, there is a fire on the deck. The captain told us to hurry up and notify everyone, and get out quickly, lest the ship catch fire and cause a catastrophe!"

The boatman said anxiously.

"The boat is on fire, don't you go to put out the fire first?"

Mo Li narrowed her eyes and asked.

This is a boat, surrounded by water, it is not easy to think of a fire, even if there is a fire, shouldn't these boatmen rush to put out the fire?Why did you come here to do this?

Moreover, Mo Li listened carefully, the boatman ran over and went directly outside their door, and never shouted outside the doors of other rooms, which is even more suspicious!
"Miss Hui...fire...someone is already saving—"

Only halfway through the words, the fat man suddenly raised his head, a look of sternness flashed in his eyes, he flicked his sleeve, and a sharp knife appeared in the other hand, and said with a sneer, "Take your life!"

As he spoke, he raised his knife and slashed at Mo Li.

Mo Li didn't dare to be careless and could only raise her sword to catch it, but the man's strength was very strong, so she was forced to retreat by the sword, and in such a small room, there was Princess Yilan behind her, so she really showed her strength. not open!

Thinking that it was not an option to continue like this, Mo Li yelled violently after receiving another stab from the other party, then gathered all her strength and stabbed at the fat man.

The fat man's kung fu is good, but it is still much lower than Mo Li's. The reason why he was able to force Mo Li to retreat just now is mainly because the incident happened suddenly, and Mo Li was just resisting, not easy to use.

Now Mo Li suddenly changed from defending to attacking, and the fat man struggled even more to resist. He retreated a few meters after only catching it, and came directly to the door. He glanced at Mo Li and said viciously: "If you have the ability, go outside with me!" war!"

After speaking, he didn't dare to stay, and ran outside directly.

Even if he is not an opponent here, will Mo Li be afraid of him if he goes out?
Mo Li wanted to follow out immediately, but she didn't forget to turn her head and say to Zhang Twelve: "You look after Yilan!"

"You too be careful!"

Before Zhang Twelve could finish his words, Mo Li flashed out by himself.

At this time, Zhang Twelve didn't volunteer to let Mo Li guard Princess Yilan, but he went out to fight the enemy.

Because the night is too dark now, and it's still fighting at close range, Zhang Twelve doesn't have much advantage in using a gun, and looking at the moment just now, Mo Li's martial arts is obviously much higher than that of the man just now, so he is not worried.

The most important thing is that he had discussed it with Mo Li before, because since the assassination of Princess Yilan last time, Tang Emperor has been very concerned about this matter, but he has been unable to find out the murderer.

When they came out this time, they ran into killers again, this time they couldn't make it easy, they had to be caught alive, and they had to find out who sent them!

If you want to catch someone alive, it's not very suitable to use a gun. His marksmanship is not perfect, and it's still a mobile combat. If he misses it, the man will be gone...

Moreover, Zhang Twelve felt that the assassination was definitely not the only one just now, but also his accomplices, so he had to stay and guard Princess Yilan.

The noise outside was too loud, so Lu San and Du Lang also ran over.

"Master, it's on fire!"

Lu San said anxiously.

"Well, I saw it, it will be gone in a while."

What Zhang Twelve thought was that the fire was probably set by that person and his accomplices just now, in order to cause riots, so that they could take the opportunity to attack Princess Yilan. As for the fire, it must not be big, otherwise the boat would be burnt down. Yes, everyone has to finish playing.

They are just killers, killing others, they are not so cruel that they even kill themselves, right?
But what Du Lang said next made him not very calm...

"Young master, it can't be extinguished! The bow of the ship has been burned. I heard that even the captain jumped into the river and escaped when he saw that the fire could not be extinguished!"

"........."

This is a bit beyond Zhang Twelve's imagination...

"Pack up your things, let's go out!"

Zhang Twelve gritted his teeth and said.

…………

Just as Du Lang said, the fire was so intense at this time that the bow of the ship had been burned. Fortunately, the cabin was at the back of the ship, otherwise people inside would not be able to get out!

The cabin was extremely chaotic. After all, the fire was so intense that the entire cabin was reflected as if it were daytime, and there was so much noise that even a pig couldn't sleep!

Du Lang and Lu San carried their burdens in front, and Zhang Twelve escorted Princess Yilan behind, looking to both sides, beware of someone taking advantage of the chaos to attack!
There was constant commotion and shouting, and the panic on the deck was much worse than in the cabin. When I came out of the cabin and saw the huge fire on the deck, a group of people were crying and shouting, not knowing what to do.

And those boatmen were not as selfish as the captain. They picked up the broken long masts and led them from the edge of the boat to the shore. In this way, several masts were connected together to form a simple bridge. But talk is better than nothing.

These boatmen have been drifting on the water for many years. Like the captain, they are very good at water, but after the captain had an accident, he jumped into the river and swam ashore, while these boatmen are trying to find a way for the rest of the people. sentenced.

However, the bridge was built, but it became a question of who should get on first.

Because this bridge is said to be a bridge, but it is only made of three or four round masts, and the distance is not short. The river below it looks dark and terrifying at night, so it really takes a long time to walk on it. Some courage.

Seeing that no one dared to go up, one of the young boatmen walked up. Although his body was swaying from side to side, he still walked over slowly.

After he walked over, he fixed the mast there again, and at the same time sat on the mast with his whole body, which was considered to reduce the shaking of the mast, and it was safer to walk on it.

But even so, the others didn't dare to go up, so another boatman came out and walked over it.

Because both sides are fixed, the walking is extremely smooth this time, as if walking on flat ground, it is extremely easy.

Seeing that the mast was so strong, everyone calmed down a lot, and looked eager to try.

Suddenly, the bow of the ship fell neatly into the river because it had been burning for too long. The passenger ship without the bow began to take in water rapidly, and the hull also sank rapidly within the range that could be seen. Seeing this scene, everyone I couldn't take it anymore, and I was scrambling to cross the bridge first, for fear that I would be trapped on the boat and sink with the boat.

Therefore, there was an instant commotion on the ship, and everyone crowded around the mast bridge. The place where no one dared to approach was suddenly crowded, and no one would let anyone else. Because of the crowd, several people were pushed into the water, and they shouted desperately The scene got out of control.

A few boatmen with good water skills jumped down quickly and pulled the two people who fell into the water to the shore. The other boatmen immediately scolded: "Don't crowd, get on one by one, otherwise no one will be able to leave!"

After hearing what the boatman said, the commotion calmed down a bit, but there were still people crowded there, and the ugliness of human nature was magnified a lot at this moment...

"I'm Zhao Qingfeng, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River! The largest Zhaojia Liangzhuang in Jinling belongs to our family, let me pass first!"

Because the cabin is on the innermost side, Zhao Qingfeng was the last to come out, and was at the end of the crowd.

The boat was sinking, and it might not be long before it would be completely submerged in the water. Zhao Qingfeng was terrified, so she quickly reported her identity, for fear that she would be late if she left.

But now that life and death are at stake, who cares about his identity?

So when he yelled these words, he was quickly drowned in the wind and noise, but his position was still fixed there, without making any progress.

Zhang Twelve is not in the mood to care about the situation here, and he is not worried about whether they can cross the bridge. After all, with his lightness skills, it is easy for him to fly Princess Yilan to the shore, and Du Lang also learned a little With time, this distance is not difficult for him.

Therefore, Zhang Twelve did not approach the crowd, but stood on the other side to search for Mo Li. After a while, Zhang Twelve did not find anyone fighting on the deck, let alone Mo Li, so he was a little Worry!

Suddenly, from the broken part of the bow, several figures rose into the air at once. Zhang Twelve looked at it by the light of the fire, who else could it be if it wasn't Mo Li?

Immediately overjoyed!

It's just that she is surrounded by four men with knives. Although one person may not be as good as her, but four of them together, Mo Li can't take advantage of it!
