In the Blade

Experienced assassins often choose to launch sneak attacks when people are most relaxed.

The most common attack is naturally when people are sleeping. People in sleep have almost no ability to resist. Of course, because this weakness is too obvious, many people will make some preparations in advance to ensure their own safety. However, as the saying goes, the higher the virtue, the higher the evil. The target of the assassination has a way, and the assassin naturally has a countermeasure.

Just like now, the assassins choose to attack while eating.

As an imperial envoy, the old eunuch will naturally not take an ordinary boat when he goes back. At present, this ferry is not only much more spacious, but also can eat some seafood on the way. Although the fish sashimi that should have been eaten raw was put on the small tea stove and cooked at the insistence of Du Chengfeng, the old eunuch thought about it and did not blame Du Chengfeng for this wasteful behavior.

"Mainly raw fish meat may contain parasites."

Looking at the old eunuch's regretful look, Du Chengfeng felt that he needed to popularize health knowledge.

"Well, although those insect eggs are so small that they can't be seen with the eyes, they will still grow in the body after being eaten. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. Those monks who practice Buddhism have also said that the Buddha sees a drop of water as 84,000 lives."

Hearing what Du Chengfeng said, the old eunuch couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly.

"I didn't expect that the warrior actually understood Buddhism... In other words, boiling this water is the way to dispel evil spirits and transcend the afterlife?"

"... Just take it as this."

Du Chengfeng touched his nose and didn't explain anything more.

People can't understand things beyond their own cognition. Just like now, if he wants to explain this matter to the old eunuch completely, he may have to rub a microscope out by hand and let the old eunuch see it with his own eyes - but this is obviously too troublesome. It's just a meal, why bother to be so serious.

So let the old eunuch keep his current understanding. Although this matter itself has nothing to do with Buddhism, at least from the result, the old eunuch also understands that fish meat must be cooked before eating.

"So you eat it, why are you shaking your legs?"

Du Chengfeng took a chopstick of fish meat and put it into his mouth, and greeted the old eunuch.

If it was on land, Du Chengfeng would not care about this minor problem, but now on the boat, if the old eunuch shook his legs, the whole deck would tremble, making it difficult for him to eat properly.

You know, he has a lot of stuff on the boat now, from war horses to saddle bags, and a lot of stuff. If something accidentally falls into the water... it would be too scary.

So even if it is for a good meal, he has to say it.

But after hearing Du Chengfeng's reminder, the old eunuch also looked puzzled.

"I don't shake my legs?"

The old eunuch was very puzzled. You know, he entered the palace when he was young, and the basic etiquette rules were engraved in his bones. Although he was not in the palace now and could relax a little, he couldn't do such a thing as shaking his legs while eating.

"Wait, you mean the boat is shaking?"

The old eunuch suddenly thought of something.

At this time, the boatman was already lying on the side of the boat and shouting.

"The boat is leaking! Someone is drilling the boat..."

Before he finished speaking, a flying knife was nailed directly into the boatman's throat.

At the same time, the black-clothed men who emerged from the water also threw darts at Du Chengfeng and the old eunuch. Dozens of darts were overwhelming, and the scene was really bluffing.

But it was just a bluff. These cross darts shot from the water might kill ordinary people, but this level of attack was too much for the two of them - Du Chengfeng was too lazy to draw his sword to block, he just lifted up his robe and rolled up, and all the darts were blocked by the old short blade hidden in the old robe.

The old eunuch reached into his sleeves with both hands and pulled, and dozens of tough silk threads rolled up the darts in the air, and even rolled a few darts back with his backhand.

Looking at the blood flowers floating in the river, Du Chengfeng's eyes were straight.

"Your style is quite interesting."

"You can't wear weapons without authorization in the palace, and I have to protect the master at a critical moment, so I learned this inferior thing, which makes the warrior laugh."

Although he said this, just looking at the familiarity of the old eunuch manipulating the silk thread, the skills on the silk thread are obviously not some inferior martial arts.

Therefore, with the combined efforts of Du Chengfeng and the old eunuch, the assassins who wanted to attack along the side of the boat were killed in just a moment - although they were killing well, the river water that flooded into the boat had already covered their ankles.

"This..."

Looking at the ferry that was about to sink, and then looking at the warhorse and weapons still on the boat, Du Chengfeng didn't know whether to jump off the boat for a while.

If he jumped off the boat, he might be able to survive, but all these things plus the warhorse would fall into the water. But if he didn't jump off the boat... would he be buried at the bottom of the river with this ferry that was about to sink?

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng really realized how dangerous this crossing of the river was.

This surging river was now sharper than any weapon!

However, at this moment, the old eunuch shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, let the warriors see what we can do!"

As he said this, the old eunuch hooked his ten fingers and danced wildly. For a moment, he actually wove a small boat in the air with silk thread!

"Get on board!"

"Incredible!"

Du Chengfeng hurriedly led the horse to the boat, and even brought the fish fillet that he had not finished eating just now.

Not long after he came over, the ferry behind him gradually sank into the water.

Looking at the top of the boat that had not completely sunk, even though Du Chengfeng was brave and strong, he couldn't help but feel a little scared at this moment.

At this moment, he was actually a little fortunate that there were no masters who were good at water battles among the assassins. If the boat was directly torn apart by the evil spirit and he fell into the water on the spot, would he really be able to come out alive?

River water can actually be used as a weapon.

It is even the most dangerous weapon!

"Unless I can find a way to defeat the river..."

Looking at the surging river outside the boat, Du Chengfeng clenched the Overlord Halberd in his hand.

"Not enough, still not enough."

"Brave man, what's wrong with you?"

The naked old eunuch folded his arms and squatted in a corner of the boat.

"Haven't all the thieves been killed?"

"It's okay..."

Although he said this, Du Chengfeng's face was still gloomy.

He had walked this road before, and he still remembered it. Going south from the Huai River, there was another big river to cross.

The first update is here. Today is a long-awaited training day. It's just that I haven't trained for a while, and my physical fitness has declined. The hammer I swing has dropped from 12kg to 10kg.

Today is the last day of two chapters of 4,000 words. I should be able to do more tomorrow.

In addition: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly votes, thank you for your encouragement and support.

In addition, I recommend a book, "Time is the Greatest" written by a friend. I haven't read the book yet, and I don't know what story it is about. If you are interested, you can click in and take a look. Let me tell you if it's interesting. If not, I will go to private chat and torture him.
