Chapter 37 Protect the prince!
Chapter 37 Protect the prince!
Lin Zhao silently looked at Li Xu, unable to tell what it was like, he decisively ordered: "Everyone is divided into two teams, one team protects the prince, and the other team protects the little princess, the two masters must be kept safe. Send it ashore."
All the Yulin soldiers agreed loudly, but Li Xu did not refuse and accepted the arrangement.
At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted: "The boatman jumped off the boat!"
"Prepare to abandon the ship." Li Xu picked up the little princess and walked out. He Zun and Lin Zhao supported him from left to right so that he could barely stand still when the ship was shaking. Her whole body was drenched, and her small body was shaking in her arms. Li Xu knew that she was afraid, but he couldn't comfort her.
He still couldn't see his fingers, the torches he lit went out in an instant, and the torrential rain hurt people. Li Xu remembered that their ship was in the middle, and there were two ships in the front and back, but at this moment, he couldn't hear it at all. movement of other ships.
"My lord... my lord...you can't leave this humble minister..." A figure stumbled out and grabbed Li Xu's sleeve tightly.
Before Li Xu got angry, He Zun kicked him away first, "Presumptuous! How dare you be rude to the prince."
Lin Zhao was furious when he saw Qiu Chengzhi, "If Mr. Qiu hadn't said that the waterway is safer and easier to travel, how could we have encountered such a thing?"
Qiu Chengzhi also regretted it. It was clear that when he went to Beijing, the water was calm, so how could he be unlucky to encounter strong winds and waves this time?It must be that His Royal Highness Shun Wang was punished by God for his disloyalty and unfilial piety, and he himself was implicated.
Li Xu also knew that Qiu Chengzhi couldn't blame Qiu Chengzhi for this incident. He was afraid that there would be a typhoon tonight, otherwise it would be impossible for such a strong wind to blow during a thunderstorm. Qiu Chengzhi was disgusted and refused to take it, and he also refused to learn swimming, thinking that he was a literati, and no one had any extra gourds for him now.
Li Xu handed the little princess to Liu Shu, Lin Zhao said without thinking, "Let's leave it to the last general." The little eunuch was still a child.
Li Xu didn't agree, and said, "Commander Lin will protect Yan Yizheng, he is getting older and needs you even more."
Commander Lin didn't refute, and glanced at He Zun. This man had been by Li Xu's side from the beginning to the end. He was also a bought guard, but the guard surnamed Ge hugged his younger sister and followed behind, comforting in a low voice from time to time.
Lin Zhao felt that He Zun had a very familiar aura, which was only possessed by well-trained bodyguards. Combined with his guess, Lin Zhao was startled into a cold sweat
At this moment, the boat bumped into something and shook violently. Li Xu and the others fell to the ground, and someone fell into the water without realizing it.
The night was too dark and the rain was too heavy, which invisibly magnified the fear of death infinitely. As timid as Qiu Chengzhi, he burst into tears, and the two maids of the little princess hugged each other and wept softly. In the Habayashi Army, there were also The man hugged the pillar tightly and did not let go.
Li Xu got up with difficulty. He didn't dare to stand upright, but stooped to touch the side of the boat little by little, and turned around and shouted to everyone: "Jump, try to stay away from the boat after jumping into the water." A collision with a boat can kill you.
Just when Li Xu was about to jump into the water, a figure quickly ran towards him, and stuffed something into his hand.
"What?" He couldn't see the person opposite, so he could only ask aloud.
The other party stammered two inaccurate words: "God Paper."
Li Xu recognized the voice of the boy from a different race. He was surprised for a while, touched the thing in his hand and realized that it was a "rope". .”
There are still enough ropes on the boat, so everyone can share one point, and more than a dozen people are tied together. With companions by their side, the fear in everyone's hearts has dissipated a little.
"It's not good, the cabin is flooded!" Someone shouted loudly.
"Go into the water, hurry up!"
A big wave hit, the boat was washed up on the top of the wave, and half of the people were thrown into the water.
Lin Zhao shouted: "Don't panic, protect the prince!"
The rest of the people moved immediately, surrounded the little princess and Liu Shu with half, and surrounded Li Xu with the other half, and then jumped into the water to protect them.
In the turbulent river, people immediately lose their ability to move and can only be pushed by the current to swim.
When Li Xu jumped into the water, he was rushed far away, because there were ropes tied to his body, and there were more than a dozen people tied to the other end of the rope. At this time, the advantage of well-trained was manifested. Those Yulin soldiers quickly surrounded Li Xu and firmly protected him in the encirclement.
Holding the gourd in one hand and pulling the rope with the other, Li Xu floated on the water, collected himself, and said, "Try to swim as far as possible to the right. It would be best if anyone can catch the branches on the bank."
This process is not easy, if it is in a calm river, Li Xu can easily swim to the shore, but now it is windy and rainy, and the current is fast, he can only try his best to float on the water.
The crowd was quickly rushed away, there seemed to be children crying in the wind and rain, Li Xu couldn't tell whether it was the little princess's cry or Ge Zhu's, feeling anxious and helpless.
"My God!" Li Xu cursed angrily.
At this time, someone yelled: "I'm holding on to the branch!" Li Xu felt the rope on his body tightened, and he was pulled to the right for a while. Before he could feel happy, he heard the person yell: " Ah, the branch broke..."
Li Xu thought that he would be washed away by the current again, but in the next second he felt an arm wrap around his waist, and then the other party pulled something, jumped up from the water with strength, and then congratulations came from his ear Zun's voice: "Hold on to the rope!"
"Ah..." Someone exclaimed and someone screamed. Li Xu couldn't see his surroundings clearly, he just felt his body escape from the river, and then he was hugged by He Zun and jumped onto a branch. Throw him ashore.
Li Xu cursed secretly: "Fuck!" When the blind eye threw it, the ghost knew what he would bump into, and felt something brushed against his body, but his whole body was numb and he couldn't feel the pain, and then he was thrown hard to the grass.
The moment his body landed on the ground, Li Xu let out a long breath of turbid air and spit out the sand in his mouth. He felt a sense of joy of rebirth, and what he thought in his mind was: If you survive a catastrophe, there must be future blessings.
******
small theater:
Li Xu: "Damn it, God, this thief is deliberately punishing me, he was injured and fell into the water, so why don't we let people live?"
Thief God: "Don't blame me, blame the author."
Li Xu: "It makes sense, the author, come out, where is the halo of the protagonist?"
Yan Ming: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings, and future... blessings!"
