Chapter 277 Scapegoat
Yan Nan and others were swimming to the north bank under the Fire River.
She has received professional training in diving, and her posture is as flexible as a fish, and she is swimming steadily in the water.
Fortunately, there was a fire above, and everyone at the bottom of the water would not be lost.
Anyang is the worst water quality, and the water is still there. She can hardly hold it in the water for a long time. She can hardly hold it in. Her eyes become wider and wider, and the breath in her chest becomes weaker and weaker. The buoyancy of the water pushes her towards the river, almost thrusting her hands and feet.
Just as she was about to float up the river where the fire was burning in despair, Yan Nan suddenly handed over something strange and stuffed it into her mouth.
An Yang was stunned and immediately realized that it was a bent bamboo tube.
Yan Nan pointed at her head.
She looked up and saw that the bamboo tube was long and reached the water surface. She immediately understood, held it in her mouth and exhaled gently, and then carefully sucked a little air.
Only then did the whole person relax and continued to move forward with Yan Nan and others while paddling.
This sister.
Anyang wanted to cry a little, but at the critical moment, she always saved her. Is it really blood relationship more than anything else?
For the first time, she had the idea of venting all the secrets in her heart.
Everyone quickly swam out of the fire burning area. The boats sent by Wenfu were already waiting on the river surface. At this time, some boats with river lanterns came upstream, and stopped far away from the river to look at this side, including the largest pleasure boat in Cuifu.
Yan Nan and others got on the boat, and she stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.
The "Slow Moon" pleasure boat had already ignited a raging fire, and the "crackling" sound of the wooden boards bursting can be heard from afar.
Even without wind, the pleasure boat seemed to be out of control, crossing the stone bridge and hitting the river protection panel a little further south.
Yan Nan clenched her fists.
At the same time, Jin Huan and others who happened to be by the river, when they heard the sound of horse hooves in the long street behind them, they had quietly hid in the willow forest where Xiang Kuohai and others had been hiding for the first time.
Tuying happened to hide in the willow forest. When she saw her own figure, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and she knelt in front of Kim Hwan.
"Your Highness." Tu Ying was sobbing. He was walking over tonight, "The people of Liang's family are so smart. They still have a lot of hidden strength at hand..."
"Shh." Kim Hwan made a gesture of silence, pointed to the sound of horse hooves that were getting closer and closer outside, squinted his eyes and whispered: "Give up tonight's action, don't hurry. Listen to the movement first."
The sound of horse hooves and fire passed by the willow forest, and stopped by the bridge. Someone heard a very angry cry and shouted: "The bandits who set fire, aren't they surrender?"
Xiang Kuohai was completely shocked by the sound of "the bandit who set fire". Could it be that the bandit who set fire?
"Master, Grandpa." An escort rolled and slammed into the bridge, tremblingly lowered his head to Xiangkuokai, who was curled up in the fishing net: "Yes, it's the imperial guard of the city garrison!"
There are nine city garrisons in Kaifeng Prefecture, distributed in various garrisons, and are rotated by the imperial guards. The closest to this place should be the garrisons at the South City Gate.
Xiang Kuohai almost bit off his teeth. Not only did he not catch them, but he was blocked here and took the blame!
He raised his face, which was tied into a nine-grid grid by the fishing net, and shouted, "Hurry up and pull me up first, all the energy you have saved for dinner is leaking to the girls, right? A bunch of waste!"
The guard hurriedly called for help again, and four or five people tried hard to pull him up.
The guards at the bridge over there were already rushing up the bridge with shields and bows, forcing the young guards who were in danger to get close to the bridge.
The fishing net on Xiang Kuohai was finally untied. He stood up with his arms shaking, patted his shoulders, and returned to his usual crab appearance, and said with a calm face: "Who are you? Do you have eyes? Our Privy Council, we are here to rescue people as they catch fire. Don't you catch the real fire, and what are you doing?"
The head of the guard did not blink when he heard the word "Prince Court". He held the arrow and waved his arm, "Take it down! He won't admit it even if he gets the stolen goods!"
Seeing that Xiang Kuohai was frightened, he widened his eyes and waved his hands to show off, "Dare you! Who gave you the courage? Where are the people and stolen? Who saw us setting fire?"
The man snorted coldly, "You have to make a quibble and go to the prison to speak slowly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang came from the south, "Boom!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked downstream of the river.
On the pleasure boat.
The people who were driving the boat were on the bottom floor. Zhong Yong led his people through the flames, commanding the channel on one deck, and aiming the catapult at the wooden boards that were getting closer and closer to the front that were taller than the ship.
"Let me!" He ordered.
"Dongdong!" Several big rocks flew up and hit the wooden board. The sound of huge wooden boards breaking in the thunder of flames. The catapult that completed the mission was "pumped" into the river by everyone.
The pleasure boat was getting closer and closer to the guard board, and Zhong Yong shouted "Jump!"
Everyone jumped into the cool and dark river in an instant.
The boat with the raging fire was like the sun flying down the river, shining with dazzling light, and hitting the high wooden board.
"Boom!"
The guard plate, which was taller than the pleasure boat, was finally completely destroyed, and the firewood overlapped and burned a brighter light.
Yan Nan let out a sigh of relief, and finally it was done. Someone on the coast had already picked up Zhong Yong and others, but no signal light for asking for help was released. It was thought that the pickup was successful.
She calculated the time when the pleasure boat drove from Santan Wharf to approach the south gate, and pursed her lips. Although she did not plan to Shouyang this time, the task assigned by Brother Yuan was finally completed.
Xiang Kuohai and others were stunned for a moment by the violent impact. The head of the guard here reacted first, waved his hand, "Take them away, and those who disobeyed will be killed without mercy!"
Xiang Kuohai reacted, so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his eyes and rubbed his fists as he was about to start fighting. The man took out a guard token and stood it in front of him. On it, the eight golden words were shimmering by Taizu's handwriting, "The power and magical power are shaking and protecting the universe."
"Shenwu Team?" Xiang Kuohai spoke in surprise, "How come you are here?"
This team of guards is actually the Shenwu team passed down by Taizu in the palace!
Dare to resist the guards who hold the gold medal order is a serious crime of rebellion!
The leader of the guards was expressionless, "The capital is in a row, we will guard the southern city gate this month. You are not lucky and will meet us."
After saying that, he waved his hand and immediately came up to take Xiang Kuohai away. Xiang Kuohai's face was as dark as charcoal. He was so unlucky that he was probably urinating on Buddha Jin in his previous life.
He raised his eyes and glared at the head, "Sooner or later I will be cleared of my innocence!"
The eagle in the willow forest was also strange. He just heard the three words "Prince Court" and he realized that it was a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. They and Liu Wei were originally in the same group, and they were all coming for Liang Yan who wanted to live. But they had never heard Liu Wei say that such a group of people would be sent to catch people with fishing nets?
Those who set fire just now clearly wanted Liang Yan to die, but it was not right.
He turned his head and lowered his voice to Jin Huan, "Your Highness, the one who set the fire just now should be someone else, not like the one who was Liu Shumi."
