Seventy-seven meeting GL

Cangshan Ferry in the evening of the next day

Lang Yinshi stood on the bank of the river, looking at the river in the distance, his figure cast a long shadow in the dim light.Today's weather is cloudy and cold, it took them a while to reach Cangshan Ferry.The three fishing boats Mr. Cai found from the farmers' homes have just arrived.It's a bit small, but it's finally a boat.

Standing on the edge of the ferry, he directed the soldiers to drag the fishing boat into the water.Hu Han showed a comfortable smile. "General, with the boat, we don't need to spread our forces to seize Naluoshizi Shanyang and Longmen Ferry!"

"That's right." Lang Yinshi's gentle voice sounded, "Master Cai's ship came by coincidence, and it solved the big trouble!" He said with a smile, "However, the Gan River is more than twenty miles wide, and it can only transport forty or so at a time. People, going back and forth more than ten times, it will take at least a day and a half, we must hurry up."

"Don't worry, general, I have informed you that all ministries are required to strictly follow the arrangements for crossing the river and board the ship in an orderly manner. Anyone who violates the discipline of crossing the river will be removed from the crossing team." Lan Xi, who was standing aside, said.

Lang Yinshi nodded in approval, "That's very good."

The humid air is filled with a cool smell, and the torches on the river bank are brightly lit.Cai Ting's clothes were wet with the morning dew, he stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Lang Yinshi on the shore, very reluctant.Lang Yinshi asked Hu Han to cross the river with him first, which inevitably made Cai Ting a little worried.

"General, do you really not think about crossing the river with us?" Cai Ting's face showed a sincere look.

"In case... I mean, in case something goes wrong, the general's life is in danger!" Cai Ting hesitated again and again, but still insisted on persuading, "The sooner the general crosses the river, the sooner the moment is to let everyone feel at ease. So In a critical moment, the general should put his personal safety first! How can he stick to justice!" Although Cai Ting is a Confucian scholar, he is flexible and not pedantic.He naturally knew the risk of Lang Yinshi choosing to cross the river one step later.

Lang Yinshi shook his head lightly. "As the commander-in-chief, I should advance and retreat with the large forces. You don't have to worry. After the overall retreat plan is deployed, I will naturally cross the river with Lanxi and the others."

Seeing that Cai Ting was still waiting to say something, Lang Yinshi signaled him to stop. "The vanguard is crucial to the success of crossing the river. When we reach the other side, Lord Lao Cai can arrange everything flexibly." He said, urging decisively, "It's time to go."

Seeing that Lang Yinshi had made up his mind, Cai Ting couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Immediately afterwards, a few small fishing boats slowly left the shore and rode away on the waves. The faint flames lit up on the bows of the boats, like stars reflected on the river.The wind in the river is getting stronger, and in the turbulent river current, the fishing boat looks very small and insignificant. With the gentle shaking of the waves, it gradually gets farther and farther away from the river bank.

As soon as Hu Han and the others were sent away, Lang Yinshi received news from Ye Mei.

There has been no news for many days, and the news this time must not be simple.Sitting in the cabin at the ferry, Lang Yinshi faced Ye Mei who was prostrating on the ground, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"My lord, the messenger came back with the news that King Xuan has brought the seventh princess back to the capital a week ago, and she is now being placed in the Qingzhu Garden." Ye Mei said in a deep voice, "I heard that all the food and clothing of the seventh princess are currently in full use. Under the control of King Xuan's people, King Xuan's attitude towards the Seventh Princess is quite subtle, caring and cautious."

Lang Yinshi paused when he heard the words, his complexion darkened, and he responded. "She is under house arrest by Lang Kangzhe." Mo Ziyou's falling into Lang Kangzhe's hands seemed to be a helpless but inevitable thing.Even though Lang Yinshi was worried about it, he knew that he was powerless at the moment.

"...There is another piece of bad news, my condolences to Prince Wanwang..."

Before he had time to think about it, Lang Yinshi felt his eyelids twitch, and a certain thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't dare to think deeply. "What is it?" His heart seemed to be suddenly suppressed by something, heavy.

"Master Luo, Duke of Zhen Guo... Master Luo was shot by arrows on Liuhuang Mountain...unfortunately died."

Lang Yinshi jumped up from the seat almost immediately, he was silent, raised his hand and squeezed Ye Mei's shoulder tightly, the hand was so strong that Ye Mei felt pain. "What you said about uncle... is it true?!"

Ye Mei stopped talking and lowered her head.

"Is this true?!" Lang Yinshi gritted his teeth and asked, apparently really angry. "say!"

Ye Mei put her head on the ground, knelt down, and replied in a muffled voice: "General, calm down, this matter...is absolutely true. Master Li Sitong of Zhongzhou Prefecture has sent someone to collect the body of Lord Zhen Guo, Transport them all the way back to the capital."

Lang Yinshi only felt a burst of cold air rushing into his heart, and the image of his uncle riding out of the crowd in the firelight that day appeared in his mind.I still vaguely remember the new white hair on his temples, that resolute, deep and fearless face.

"Yin'er, uncle watched you grow up, shouldn't he do something for you?"

"Uncle..." Lang Yinshi covered his suddenly hot eyes, and asked anxiously, "That's Tianlang's Zhen Guogong, Zhen Guogong! How dare Li Sitong?! How dare he?! He has How many lives dare to do such a thing!!"

"That night there was a vicious fight on Liuhuang Mountain. The mountain was full of flames, and it was impossible to tell the situation. Li Sitong was eager to take us down, so he sent archers to shoot arrows on the mountain road... none of our three hundred Yinzi soldiers survived, Master Luo also..." Ye Mei knew the master's pain very well, and she hesitated to speak, "This matter was only discovered after the mountain fire went out five days later."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Uncontrollable grief and anger came from the bottom of Lang Yinshi's heart, he punched hard on the wall, the whole wooden house shook, dust dispersed in the air, Lang Yinshi burst into blood Chung, back again and again, leaning on the chair.

He still has a little bit of luck, after all, his uncle is his and Lang Kangzhe's common relatives, after all these days, maybe uncle is on his way back to Beijing, maybe he has already bathed and changed in Zhongzhou Mansion, and finally lived a life without having to hide in Tibet , Waiting for his return with peace of mind!However, people are not as good as God!

It was the last family member he held dear.Along the way, he was busy getting rid of the stalking and interception, and he was overwhelmed, and there were too many things that he couldn't worry about.But he never expected that he couldn't even take good care of his uncle!If it wasn't for him, my uncle wouldn't have to go south at all, and he would never have fallen into Liuhuang Mountain!

Lang Yinshi hated himself so much, hated his sad fate, everyone was sacrificing for him, first his mother, then Yize, Youer... now his uncle... why would he let him Are these people risking their lives for him?What should he do to protect those around him? !This impermanent fate, like a Five Elements Mountain that cannot be escaped, almost made him unable to breathe.

It was when Lang Yinshi was holding his head and was in pain, Lan Xi hurried into the cabin, her expression was panicked, and her tone revealed anxiety. "General, come out and take a look!" Seeing Lang Yinshi's pale face, Lan Xi was frightened for a moment, and he didn't even have time to ask what he cared about.

Lang Yinshi managed to pull himself together, restrained his emotions, raised his head, and looked out from the lookout window, his eyes stared wide open, and the alarm bell rang loudly.The situation is not good!

At some point, the weather turned gloomy, and in the sky not far away, thick dark clouds were accumulating, brewing a thunderstorm that was ready to go, the wind was already blowing on the river, and a group of crows were neighing and circling in the wind for a long time .

He walked out of the cabin quickly, climbed up to the observation deck in two steps, raised the tube mirror, and looked at the scene on the river.

I saw strong winds on the river, the river beat violently on both sides, rolled up huge waves, and layers of towering waves came, like a driven dragon, rushing and raging, the river was carried forward by the wind and waves, hitting the waves one after another. Shore reef.The dark clouds were as heavy as a thousand catties, and they fell from the sky. In a short while, the bean-sized raindrops fell on the people. The soldiers who were waiting in line on the bank were soaked and huddled into a shivering ball.The already cold weather was piercingly cold due to heavy wind and heavy rain, with a force that devoured people's beliefs.

The faintly visible boat was hovering uncontrollably in the river, trembling, jumping high, and being pushed by the waves, it seemed to be capsized in the next second, sporadic fires It undulates and flickers in the dark, making people's hearts go up and down.

"They have just walked to the center of the river, and the wind and waves are coming at an untimely time!" Lang Yinshi frowned deeply, staring intently at the boats in the river, and said to himself. "Look at this posture, our boat is no match for this dangerous river."

"General, the waves on the river are so big, should we let them come back to avoid danger?" Lan Xi asked.

"...It's too late." Lang Yinshi looked at the rolling waves gradually approaching the four fishing boats, and said with a serious expression, "The wind and waves rise too fast, no matter whether they are moving forward or backward, they cannot escape the attack of this big wave!"

Sure enough, just as he was talking, with a flash of lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured in on the river, and the boat in the water was like a straw without roots, at the mercy of the waves, and the rain beat the wind, swaying violently aimlessly.Since ancient times, crossing the river has been the most difficult and dangerous in case of bad weather.No matter how clever Lang Yinshi's calculations are, at this moment, he is completely unable to deal with the sudden natural disaster.

He clenched his fists and sweated deeply for the people on board.

River Central

Standing at the bow of the boat, Hu Han felt something was wrong when he felt the wind in the river getting stronger.His boat was at the forefront, and as soon as he reached the center of the river, he could already feel the changes in the river.While urging the boatman to work harder, Hu Han rushed to the stern of the ship and shouted to the three small boats behind him, asking them to drive faster.

The sky had not yet dawned, and there was a cold deep river all around. The distance could only be judged by the position of the torch. Hu Han didn't know whether the other ships heard his shout.

After a while, the wind and waves on the river became stronger, and the river became more and more turbulent. In an instant, the hull of the boat became difficult to control.When a big wave hit, the boat swayed violently, and everyone screamed and staggered to help on the deck. Hu Han took a closer look, and saw a huge wave several meters high rising from the sky, and he was suddenly startled.

A sudden rotation of the hull interrupted his train of thought. He only heard a "splash", and a soldier fell into the river directly at the stern. In the blink of an eye, he was tens of meters away from them. "Help!" the soldier cried. The howling was quickly drowned out by the spray, and it was invisible in the dark.The people on the boat were terrified and fell silent. Immediately afterwards, everyone was terrified and wanted to squeeze into the cabin. Suddenly, two soldiers fell into the water, screaming again and again.

Hu Han was shocked, and it was the tiger's eyes that were contemplating, so he heard Master Cai order loudly in his ear, "Everyone don't panic! Get down, lie on the boat, and hold on to the plank!! Don't walk on the boat! Hold on to the rope at the bow of the boat!" , people at the stern, pick up the extra oars, and help the boatman move forward at full speed!!"

The soldiers persisted in the dark, no one knew whether the next second would be life or death. "Hua la hua la..." The huge wave in the distance has arrived as promised, and it is engulfed in wave after wave of waves hitting the boat.A layer of water soon accumulated in the cabin, and Hu Han led the soldiers to use their helmets as scoops to continuously scoop the river water out.

Not long after, a frightening huge wave finally fell from the sky, like a sky falling, and the cool water of the river drenched everyone head-on. Under the violent impact, the boat suddenly turned over. In the darkness, Hu Han He just felt a powerful force set him off, and in the next second, the icy river water hit him from all directions, and the biting cold and darkness instantly swallowed him up.

river bank

The rain slid down his cheeks, and the strong wind blocked his sight. Lang Yinshi couldn't see the specific position between the boats, he could only rely on the dots of fire to estimate their direction.He could see that the leading boat on the river seemed to have sensed the change in the weather, and was speeding up, trying to sail towards the opposite bank.However, the few remaining ships had grown timid under the turbulence of the waves, and even two of them stagnated and wandered in place.

"It's not good. Those two ships behind have lost their minds, and it will only be more dangerous to stay in the middle of the river..." Lang Yinshi was anxious when he saw this, and he wished he could transmit voices ten miles away, telling the soldiers on the ship to hurry up before the big waves arrived. Leave Jiang Xin.But those small boats were like headless flies, spinning around in place, not knowing whether to move forward or retreat.

During this torment, Lang Yinshi didn't even have time to put on his coir raincoat, he was afraid that the sparks on the river would disappear in the blink of an eye.

The monstrous waves submerged with the power to destroy everything, and soon, the three small boats disappeared one after another.When the last huge wave came, the only fire in the darkness was extinguished on the river.Among the crowd waiting on the shore, there was a lifeless silence.

"...Bastard!" Maybe it was because of the cold, maybe it was because of anger, Lang Yinshi was shaking all over his body, he threw the tube mirror into the river, looked up at the violent howling wind, and let out a long cry Xiao, unwilling and desolate, "Is this what you want?! Is this the answer you want to give me?!" Lang Yinshi was furious, his face covered with rain, and he questioned loudly towards the dark sky.

What was extinguished was not only the torches on the river, but also the overturned boats. What was extinguished was the hope of the five thousand soldiers to cross the river!There is no time, and today's hour is delayed, and it is undoubtedly empty talk to send the soldiers across the Ganjiang River!

If there really is a God in this world, is he so fond of playing with people and destroying people's will? !

Songyuan County is right in front of you, and the boats you have worked so hard to collect sink one after another in the river. All his persistence and hard work, the sacrifice of his beloved uncle, his promise to the soldiers... everything, All in vain!How can this be convincing?How willing? !He tried his best and suffered so much, but in the end he fell short. Can't escape God's will? !

Not reconciled, Lang Yinshi is not reconciled.But this reluctance eventually turned into a kind of suffocating silence.

Lang Yinshi knelt down on the bank powerlessly, let the rain wash against her shoulders, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself. "...will never admit defeat..."

"I will never give up." She repeated over and over.

The author has something to say:

Ladysand folks!I'm back.

After retreating for two months, I finished the paper with 8 words and submitted it to my supervisor.Of course, there may still be some chores before graduation, but it certainly won't disappear for so long.Thank you for your understanding and waiting~~

I wrote this chapter for several days, and I was still hesitant when I posted it.Crossing the river in ancient times was very different from what it is now. At that time, there were often shipwrecks on the river, so both the private sector and the government would set up life-saving agencies such as salvage bureaus and free ferry bureaus.
