The rainstorm was pouring down like a whip, lashing the ground and driving the entire Blackwater River forward.

The roof of the boat was covered with foam.

Liang Qu stood under the eaves of the boat, watching the rain falling into the low mountains on both sides, washing down and merging into waterfalls.

Occasionally, trees collapsed, pulling up stones and yellow mud, falling into the Blackwater River, spreading large areas of yellow mud, and then being swept away by the turbulent water and diluted.

"The water level is dropping."

Liang Qu lowered his head, and the river waterline and the mountain junction were exposed rock walls for several meters above, without any vegetation, and it was not caused by a landslide. The boat had been like this all the way.

The rain was pouring, but the water level of the Blackwater River did not rise, but dropped!

Such a lot of rainfall could not disappear out of thin air. There must be another place to replace the Blackwater River to accept all the excess water and become the pouring ground.

The branch-shaped lightning was extinguished.

Scout Awei fluttered his wings, flashed from the sky, and flew to the bow. He fluttered his wings, shook off the water droplets, and the two tentacles on his forehead swayed gently.

Liang Qu's eyes flashed: "Is there anyone nearby?"

Awei shook his head.

Liang Qu took out the map and looked at it briefly.

There were clearly no villages or settlements marked nearby.

Who ran to the bank of the Black Water River when the flood was raging?

"Let's go and have a look."

Awei rushed into the rain.

Places with abundant water often have lush vegetation.

A small village on a hill is hidden between two low mountains.

It was raining heavily and covered by dense forests, making it particularly hidden.

The sheepskin raft was pushed into the water and hit the shore along the turbulent current.

Two men in straw raincoats jumped off the raft and went ashore. One tied a rope tightly, and the other broke into the small village and shouted.

Someone on the sentry took off his bamboo hat: "What are you arguing about? Can you let me sleep?"

"Fish are coming, fish are coming!"

"Fish are coming?" The sentry pointed to the sky, "Are you sure you see it right? Fish are coming in this weather? It's raining so hard, you mistook the tree for a boat?"

"Bullshit." The man in the straw raincoat cursed, "My eyes are shining brightly, how could you miss it after so many years?"

The sentry turned over and sat up: "Big fish or small fish?"

"Big fish! I saw it clearly, there was a big red horse on the boat! It's worth at least this much!" The man in the straw raincoat raised two fingers.

It's a lot.

The sentry quickly opened the door and let the two men in the straw raincoats in. After a few shouts, the whole village quickly woke up.

"Boss, boss! There's a big fish outside!"

"Big fish?" Lu Xinqing opened his eyes and was puzzled by the sound of rain outside, "Did the rain stop?"

"No, I came in the rain."

"No?" Lu Xinqing sat up from the bed, grabbed a single coat and put it on, "Explain clearly."

"Zhang Shun and Guan Xian caught it, they are waiting in the hall!"

The Blackwater River is fast, and the fish are fast.

Lu Xinqing dare not neglect it.

"Let's go!"

A dozen bandits rushed into the hall.

Lu Xinqing put his arms into his sleeves and came out of the small door on the side to ask for details.

"Boss, the rain is too heavy, we brothers didn't see the details clearly, we only saw a big chestnut horse kneeling in the middle of the boat, I saw from a distance that it was a good horse, at least worth more than 200 taels!"

More than 200!

The bandits were in an uproar.

"Are you sure it's a small boat?"

"Yes, the size of the boat can't be wrong. Who has such a good horse on a small boat? It's a barge. It must be a horse dealer who is in a hurry! Unfortunately, there is a flood. Let's rob him. No one will find him!"

Guan Xian agreed: "Yes, it must be a horse dealer! Let's prepare quickly. The water is too strong today. If he passes, we will definitely not be caught!"

Lu Xinqing's mind was working fast.

It's not easy to be a pirate. If you don't have the strength, you dare not touch the big boat. You can only rob the small boat. How much money can a small boat be worth?

They are all old men who fishermen. A pile of old bones is not worth much.

Zhang Shun and Guan Xian, who don't know horses, how can they tell whether it is good or bad.

It must be bragging to say two hundred taels, for fear of letting the big fish go. In fact, Lu Xinqing is bored and has sores.

A horse can be worth at least dozens of taels.

The knife in my hand is full of nicks. I have been wanting to change it for a long time.

Lu Xinqing did not hesitate.

"Robbery!"

"Okay!" The big man next to Lu Xinqing waved his hand, "Brothers, cover up and grab weapons! The boss's magic power has been perfected a few days ago, just in time to test the quality of that guy!"

"Okay!"

"Rob him!"

The bandits tied oil paint masks on their faces and rushed out of the small village.

They untied the sheepskin raft, grabbed the rope hanging from the tree, and waited in the bay.

Little did they know that Awei in the dense forest had a clear view of everything and transmitted the words through the spiritual connection without changing a word.

In the heavy rain, the barge emerged.

The bandits concentrated their attention and looked overjoyed when they saw the red shadow in the barge.

"It's a horse, it's a horse!"

"Boss, it's really a horse! Good horse!"

"I saw it!"

Lu Xinqing was also stunned when he saw the red shadow. The horse's momentum was really different from other horses. No wonder Zhang Shun and Guan Xian said it was worth two hundred taels.

Two ignorant country bumpkins.

Less, at least three hundred taels!

Lu Xinqing's heart was burning.

When the boat got closer, a figure suddenly appeared at the bow, and the indigo-colored long clothes were particularly conspicuous.

Someone questioned: "Why... it looks like an official uniform?"

Zhang Shun, who was the first to report the news, was embarrassed and stuttered when he heard it: "Official...official, official uniform? That's an official uniform?"

Lu Xinqing was the strongest and had the best eyesight: "The style is wrong, black, uh, navy blue? There seems to be a white stripe on the chest? Have you seen this kind of official uniform?"

Everyone was stunned.

Yeah, what kind of official uniform is this?

The bandit who said it looked like an official uniform fell into deep thought and doubted himself: "Did I remember it wrong?"

Zhang Shun cursed: "Damn, you scared me, what a bullshit official uniform, it's just a fancy brocade uniform!"

Guan Xian added fuel to the fire: "The county magistrate, a seventh-rank official, has a big boat when he travels. He is really a petty official. He can only be a second-rank official at most. With the boss here, why should we be afraid of him?"

"That's right, look at him, he's riding a barge, a foreigner!"

The bandits agreed with him.

The Blackwater River is turbulent, and the black-sailed boats used by other counties are easy to capsize. Most locals use sheepskin rafts, which are fast and stable.

The other party doesn't use sheepskin rafts, he's a foreigner! No foothold!

Everyone talked and persuaded each other.

"Guan Xian is right, don't be afraid!"

Lu Xinqing shouted, and he pressed his palm on the rock wall.

"Claws are the remains of tendons, teeth are the remains of bones, hair is the remains of blood, and tongue is the remains of flesh. These are the four ends of the human body!

The four-end body-building exercise I learned is the unique method of Panshan Martial Arts School in Huazhu County! Now the tendons and ends have been perfected! The nails are as sharp as swords, and they can easily pierce the chest and dig out the heart. There is no opponent below the four levels!"

After saying this, Lu Xinqing bent his fingers to hold the stone, and in front of everyone, he squeezed the stone into pieces. The pale yellow lime just floated out, but was wrapped by the humid water vapor and disappeared without a trace.

The morale of the bandits was greatly boosted when they saw it!

The little horse dealer, the boss's hand is easy to catch!

When the barge entered thirty feet, several sheepskin rafts rushed out from the bay like dumplings, and rushed up.

However, before rushing to the surroundings of the barge, the bowstring exploded, and an arrow pierced the rain curtain, exploded through the water mist, and hit the sheepskin raft.

Boom!

Arrows flashed with lightning, and dozens of sheepskins under the raft exploded.

Three pirates screamed and fell into the water, swept into the flood and disappeared.

The remaining twelve pirates stood there in a daze.

They were at a loss.
