After several days of heavy rain, the sky cleared.

The scorching sun hangs in the sky, the sky is like a wash, and the white clouds are blooming.

Dozens of warships sailed upstream, braving the wind and waves, all the way north.

On the fifth warship at the front of the fleet, Li Li lightly grabbed Xiao Qiao's fragrant shoulders and stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the increasingly towering stone cliffs on both sides of the river.

"Tom, tom, tom!"

A sound of unhurried footsteps came from behind him, and Li Li didn't need to turn around to know that it was Lu Su.

"Brother, it's been more than ten days, Xingba has been unconscious, it seems that there is more than one luck!" Walking lightly to Li Li's side, Lu Su bowed to Xiao Qiao, and then said softly without sadness or joy.

"Well, it's been some time." Li Li bowed slightly, the expression on his face was the same as Lu Su's, he didn't look angry, he was not impatient, he didn't seem to care about Gan Ning's injury, and his feelings were relatively indifferent.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Li asked in a low voice: "What is the situation of the Jinfan thieves, is there anyone picking quarrels and provoking trouble?" ”

"Brother rest assured, it's as usual, and there is nothing to do." A smile appeared on Lu Su's face when he heard this, and at this time, Xiao Qiao saw the two of them discussing the matter, obediently bowed slightly and retreated, and slowly walked into the cabin.

After Xiao Qiao left, Lu Su smiled and said: "In the past few days, Gong Jin has followed his brother's order to strictly restrain the Jinfan Battalion that had just been formed, and inspected the warships every day to inquire about the recovery of the wounded soldiers. In this way, although the Jinfan Battalion is a team formed by water thieves, they are in awe of their brothers, and with Gong Jin's good appeasement, the Jinfan Battalion is completely stable, no one dares to disobey the general's order, and naturally no one is waiting for the opportunity to cause trouble. After the Jinfan Battalion was incorporated into the sequence of our army's battle camps, our army had its first naval army, although there were only more than 1,200 people, but they were skilled in water and familiar with the water conditions of the Yangtze River. It is quite beneficial for our army to form a powerful naval army in the future. Hehehe! ”

After Li Li heard this, a knowing smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "These Jinfan thieves are quite knowledgeable, and they have not resisted to the end, and they have all surrendered to us. This saves us a lot of effort, and with the help of these people, everything is very smooth. Otherwise, relying on our group of six alone, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, there is also a poisonous dragon that is a treasure. I can only sigh that I can't move these things in a month. However, after the Jinfan thieves surrendered, everything became simpler. There is great strength in numbers, and thousands of people work together. Salvage the gold mountain and carry the poisonous dragon. It took four or five days to get it done. This trip to the poisonous dragon pool. We have gained a lot, which can be described as an unexpected joy! Hehehe???"

"This is all brother Hongfu Qitian, Jiren has his own heavenly merits!" When it comes to the battle of Poison Dragon Pond more than ten days ago, Lu Su still looks excited and excited when he thinks about it.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lu Su calmed down a little. sighed: "That day, my brother and General Feihu wanted to get rid of the poisonous dragon, but Brother Yu and Gongjin were not optimistic about it, and they didn't even have hope. The reason why we didn't dissuade us at that time was because we firmly believed that my brother had his own measure. Even if you can't get rid of the poisonous dragon, you can still get rid of it.

I didn't expect it, but the result was much beyond our expectations! At first glance, the elder brother hit the poisonous dragon's death hole, using a small iron ball to break the poisonous dragon's eyes and ears, causing it to become blind and deaf, and fall into extreme madness, slapping indiscriminately, greatly reducing its power. Immediately, General Flying Tiger was even more brave, slashing through the poisonous dragon's invulnerable leather armor with one sword, and almost cut off the poisonous dragon's neck. And the elder brother is even quicker, his shot is extremely accurate, and the golden lion sword pierces the poisonous dragon's huge mouth, the blade is several feet deep, and it kills with one blow! Looking back on it, the foolish brother is still excited, and his excitement is hard to control! Hahaha--"

After Li Li heard this, an unconcealable smile appeared on his face, obviously Lu Su's words came to his heart, which made him very useful.

After laughing, Li Li said with a sigh: "The dragon slaying that day, in detail, it was the Jinfan thief who made great contributions. They were killed by the poisonous dragon head-on, and paid huge casualties for this, and more than 400 people died tragically under the claws of the poisonous dragon in less than half an hour, and the scene was really bloody and tragic. It was the heavy casualties of the Jinfan thieves that gave me time to follow the poisonous dragon all the way and observe its dead holes. When the poisonous dragon beast was furious and fell into a semi-crazy killing state, Flying Tiger and I suddenly attacked and killed, and if we didn't make a move, we would just hit the poison dragon's death hole. Thankfully, all my observations were correct, and thanks to the cover of the Jinfan thieves, I was sure to hit with one blow, and finally joined forces with the Flying Tiger to kill the poisonous dragon.

However, to my surprise, the poisonous dragon's near-death counterattack attack was extremely powerful, and the flying tiger couldn't dodge, and was finally hit by the poisonous dragon's claw, and was severely injured, almost losing his life. If the Flying Tiger dies under the claws of the poisonous dragon, even if we can obtain the body of the poisonous dragon and the treasure filled with twelve warships, how can we bear it, how can we be embarrassed! ”

Seeing that his brother was still worried about Huan Fei's injury, Lu Su hurriedly persuaded him: "Brother doesn't have to blame himself. Although General Flying Tiger was severely damaged, he was not yet dead. The foolish brother had just seen his injuries, and he was indeed seriously injured, and he was highly poisonous. Fortunately, the elder brother is a pedantic celestial man, and after taking out the gallbladder from the poisonous dragon's abdomen, this thing can actually detoxify, and the detoxification effect is peculiar and effective. Now Huan Fei is awake and his injuries have improved, and he can recover after three or four months of recuperation. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Su's words changed sharply, and he said in an indifferent tone: "Compared with General Flying Tiger, the current situation of the thief leader Gan Ning is not very optimistic, and he has been unconscious after taking the antidote, and his life and death are unknown. Fortunately, he was still breathing, and his dark and blue complexion after the poison in his body was constantly improving, otherwise he would have been a dead corpse by now. ”

Li Li's expression was calm when he heard this, and he said: "Gan Ning has been poisoned for a long time, and in the time of nearly two teas, the poison has already penetrated into the body, and there is almost no possibility of survival. Fortunately, the process of killing the poisonous dragon was very short, and the rescue was timely, so that we could feed him the antidote while he still had a breath. Now he has been in a coma for more than ten consecutive days, and he has never woken up, which shows how powerful the poison of the poisonous dragon is, I hope he can survive this catastrophe! ”

"Brother don't worry about the thief." Lu Su continued: "We have done our best to treat him, and then we will do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." If he can survive, it is his own life, and his life should not be extinguished; If he can't wake up, then he has done too much evil, and the heavens will kill him. ”

After a pause in his tone, a look of indignation appeared on Lu Su's face, and he said angrily: "This incident of poisoning Longtan, in the final analysis, is Gan Ning's own doing, and the agency is too clever to mistake his own life. Before, he deliberately deceived us into going to the Poison Dragon Pool, and we thought that he was really testing the water and courage with his brother, but he didn't think that this thief had sinister intentions, and actually wanted to use his brother's power to entangle the poisonous dragon and give them time to salvage the treasure.

However, the sky has eyes, and it is in the sky to plan things and make things happen. This thief's plan was all in vain, not only did he fail to get the treasure, but he was almost killed on the spot by the poisonous dragon, and in addition, he also took the lives of hundreds of Jinfan thieves. And the scene where the elder brother and the Flying Tiger General joined forces to kill the poisonous dragon greatly shocked the Jinfan thieves, making them respect their brother like a god and willing to bow down and wait for the dispatch. Afterwards, we waited for Shun to collect the Jinfan thieves, salvage the treasure, divide the poisonous dragon and carry it onto the warship, and then clean up the Jinfan thief's lair.

Since then, the Ganning thief has been a bamboo basket this time, and he has lost everything. If he doesn't wake up for a long time, if he wakes up one day and learns about it, and knows that his life was saved by his brother, I am afraid that he will die of shame and anger, how can he have the face to see his brother again! ”

Li Li was silent when he heard this, and muttered thoughtfully: "In troubled times, people are unpredictable. Although Gan Ning's move is his heart, his feelings are pitiful. From the perspective of survival instinct in troubled times, it is also a reasonable thing. People in troubled times will do whatever it takes to survive, and their essence does not matter whether they are right or wrong, they are all relative. For us, they naturally deserve to die; But for them, it's only natural to use us to achieve their goals, and it's understandable、、、、、、、"

"Huh?" Just as Li Li was speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an eagle hovering overhead, letting out a startled roar from time to time.

Suddenly, Li Li patted his head in annoyance, and said urgently: "Oops, I almost missed a big thing!" These days, Huan Fei was seriously injured and comatose and bedridden, unable to receive the message from the Flying Eagle, but I forgot about it and forgot to accept the Flying Eagle. In addition, we sailed day and night, and our whereabouts were uncertain, and the flying eagle could not find us at all, so naturally they could not send us the latest situation of Xiliang.

Ay! I don't know if anything big has happened in Xiliang recently, otherwise it will be a bad thing? ”

While blaming himself, Li Li pinched his fingers and stuffed them into his mouth, and whistled crisply at the eagle in the sky.

The whistle is very special, three long and one short, a total of four, after which you need to pause for half a moment and then repeat it again.

Such a peculiar whistle made Lu Su quite curious, but it was inconvenient to ask about this matter.

After Li Li whistled twice, a strange scene appeared in Lu Su's sight. But after seeing the eagle hovering several times in the sky, it suddenly fell, and when it fell more than ten zhang above the warship, its wings flapped, and then slowly landed on the roof of the cabin. Immediately after, a pair of eagle eyes glanced at Li Li and Lu Su, and then flapped their wings and landed on Li Li's shoulder.

"Plop puff!" The eagle slowly retracted its wings, a pair of sharp claws grabbed the brocade robe on Li Li's shoulder, and a small bamboo tube with a thumb-thick and an inch long was tied at the joint of his right claw.

Li Li skillfully untied the bamboo tube, took off the wooden stopper, took out the letter from it, and immediately pinched and unfolded it.

"Oh?" At first glance, seeing the handwriting on the letter, Li Lijian's eyebrows suddenly rose, his expression changed suddenly, and he groaned coldly.

"Brother, what happened?" Lu Su inquired eagerly.

Li Li frowned and pondered, remained silent, and handed the letter to Lu Su casually.

After Lu Su unfolded the letter, he saw that the silk brocade wrote: "The lord and the princess have inaugurated that before ten days, the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yufu Luo united 50,000 white wave thieves and the Southern Xiongnu Lao Wang gathered 40,000 war cavalry, and united the Xianbei tribe in the west and 50,000 iron cavalry of the Qiang tribe in the north, a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses to invade the border of Beidi County. By the time of the letter, the barbarians had overcome several passes and advanced into Beidi County, endangering Sanfu. Pray that the Lord will return to the General's Mansion as soon as possible to preside over the battle! Li Xuan and Li Ru respectfully watched. XX day of the year of Xin Geng. ”
