The cruise ship had already slowed down at this time, and the expensive tables and chairs placed at the bow of the ship were also removed. The maids retreated to the lower deck of the cruise ship to make room for the majestic guards. There are three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the bow of the ship, guarding one person among them.
From the beginning to the end, the prince had no intention of taking a step back. On the contrary, he acted very calmly. At first, the old master Bo refused to retreat. Although the old man was old, he still had no loss of pride. He couldn't bear the young master's kind words and persuaded him, so he found two guards and invited the old man half-supported and half-framed into the lower deck of the boat. Resting in a cubicle and unable to move, this frail old man stopped.
"Sir, looking at this posture, it seems that this small boat really has no intention of retreating. But if it is really the most powerful assassin, why has it not made any move until it is more than ten feet away? Is it because I waited too much?" The tall and thin man said. The guard frowned and asked. He had never heard of such an assassin with sprained legs, and he was inevitably suspicious at this moment. In ancient times, even if assassins were not skilled in spiritual practice, they were still very skilled, and most of them were famous for their exquisite light skills. When you are close, you can kill people in a flash, when you retreat, you can escape from the white-edged swords and guns, and come and go freely.
It is not easy to practice Qinggong. To achieve such a high level of Qinggong, obviously the hard work and suffering behind it are not something that ordinary people can endure, but there are indeed incomparable benefits.
Firstly, it was because the Imperial City was heavily guarded during the war, and there were many monks stationed there. If you tried to use ordinary methods such as climbing walls to disguise yourself, you would probably have your head sacrificed to the flag before even being seen by the dignitaries. Therefore, when it comes to assassinating someone, it is best to do it most safely when the official is traveling far away and is accompanied by monks who are above the Wuer Realm. If a light horse is riding on the road, the assassin needs to have the domineering foot power to keep up with the good horse, so that when the time is right, he can strike with a fatal blow.
The second is the assassination by water. If you are not good at it and forcefully get close to the range of the crossbow, let alone an assassin who has not entered the practice, dozens of arrows will rain down on you, and the person with empty thoughts in the second realm will have to restrain his hands. What's more, if you jump to the ship where the senior officials are, you will definitely be surrounded by a group of soldiers. How can you escape without some excellent light skills?
Therefore, the assassinations recorded in the history books were usually carried out a hundred steps away, without any delay, without giving the guards any chance to surround and kill them, and they were extremely ruthless.
The prince was also suspicious at this moment. If the old man did not want to assassinate, then why did he not try to dodge when he saw this luxurious boat that only dignitaries could ride on? After pondering, the young master asked loudly.
"May I ask why the old man didn't hide? The river is flowing fast. If the two boats collide and the boat capsizes, how can we be saved?"
At this moment, the small boat was already approaching several feet away. With the bright lights on the boat, the appearance of the old man in the boat and the fish basket in his hand were clearly visible to everyone on the boat.
The old man seemed quite puzzled. He looked up and saw the enemy's current formation on the boat, and he immediately understood the current situation. Then he raised his pennant in his hand and pushed a little harder into the river. Everyone saw the small boat swaying lightly in the middle of the river, stopping on the spot as if it had taken root, and was no longer close.
It happened that the old master was not idle at this time, looking out from the lower deck of the boat. The guards were all ready and did not have time to control the old man. Therefore, he saw the scene clearly and felt a little guilty in his heart.
With this skill in boating, if he hadn't been in the river for more than ten years, it would be extremely difficult for him to have the ability to fix the boat with a single pole. But this old man was indeed very strange. Although the chief clerk thought about it for a long time, he couldn't match it with the local fisherman in his mind.
The old man carrying the fish basket stopped the boat and said slowly: "I am just a casual pedestrian passing by. When I was going south, I happened to see the huge river and wanted to go boating. So I rented a small boat from Jia Yu upstream and took a boat trip. The stream flowed down, and for a while I wandered away from things, forgetting to avoid the boat, but still looking forward to the master's greetings."
Prince Wang didn't know who Jia Yu was, but the chief clerk was deeply impressed by this man. Liaohe River has always been full of scholars and scholars who came here to enjoy the scenery. It would be easy to watch the Taotao River from the shore, but if you want to cross the river, you can't paddle the boat by yourself. Losing the outstanding character of a literati, this must be an unbearable humiliation for all the scribes who have high standards.
In this way, the ferry business in the upper reaches of the Liaohe River became more and more prosperous. Jia Yu, as the old man said, got his start from this. With his steady and superb skills in steering a boat, he made a lot of money within a few years. But Jia Yu was getting old after all. Although he was experienced in handling boats, he gradually became a little unable to do what he wanted as he got older, and his vision and strength were getting worse every year. But you can’t sit back and live on your laurels. Besides, there are three sons in Jia Yu's family, all of whom are studying abroad, and they have spent a lot of money over the years.
So Jia Yu was so cruel that he borrowed a large amount of silver from his relatives and friends, bought at least half a hundred small and large boats, and hired dozens of fishermen who had been fishing all year round and were familiar with the water conditions. As a result, Jia Yu's family was the only major business in ferrying people up and down the Liaohe River. The old chief clerk, who has been an official for many years, of course knows the name of Jia Yu.
The chief clerk was thinking this, and the sharp-eyed guards on the second floor saw the golden light rolling in the fish basket in the old man's hand, and immediately became a little wary.
Little did he know that since the young master saw the fish basket in the old man's hand, he could no longer look away. "Old man, may I ask what is in the fish basket? It can bloom in the night with glittering golden flowers and roll endlessly. It is really mysterious." .”
The old man waved his hand, "Young Master can tell that a living thing is alive at a glance, which can be said to be a very good eyesight. The old man's fish basket is just a cross-river carp. It doesn't matter whether it is a divine or not. If Young Master wants to send someone to catch it, , we will definitely be able to find countless of them.”
Prince Wang leaned over, pressed his elbows on the railing, intertwined his fingers and said with a smile, "I, the Wang family of Yizhang, have a training, luck and blessings will not refuse whoever comes, naturally the more the better. Besides, there are such rare things like this Fish, if you shine a light all over the world's waters, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a few." Then the young master pulled out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "Why don't I give this fish to me? As for the price, the Wang family will naturally satisfy me. answer."
On the jade pendant, the character "王" is clearly engraved.
There are eighteen major surnames in Yizhang, especially Wang, which has the most talented people. The profound meaning of Prince Wang's move is extremely obvious.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I don't want to sell it." The old man's face was as calm as ever, and he made a gesture of pulling out the pole and sailing.
A cluster of arrows rained down, and dozens of bow strings crashed and trembled in an instant, like thunder on the ground.
The old man and the fish basket were gone, only a small boat filled with arrows was left, rocking in the river.
The two boats were lifted up more than three feet, the waves emptied out, and broken jade flew everywhere.
There is a huge body like a dragon and snake, charging straight for several miles.
