In Zhao Yi's scope, the weirdo who was stepping on the tree stump and making a fuss actually made an evasive action at the same time as the gunshot.
But unfortunately, the bullet still hit his body, sending the strange figure flying into the air and falling into the river with a splash.
Zhao Yi did not dare to be careless. He pulled the bolt of the gun and ejected the cartridge case. He once again put his eyes towards the scope and looked at the empty piece of wood floating back and forth in the river. The weirdo did not surface for a long time and should have been dead. .
"Huh~"
Zhao Yi put away the 98K and replaced it with a more portable M1971 Colt pistol. This pistol has a semi-automatic and double-action firing design. The gun body is entirely made of stainless steel, which is easy to maintain, stable and reliable, and is also equipped with Has a fifteen-round high-capacity magazine.
Zhuge Liang, who was hiding in the cabin, saw that Zhao Yi had put away the strange tube, stuck his head out and asked: "Hongfei, what just happened?"
Zhao Yi spread his hands and said: "There is a suspicious person approaching our ship with murderous intent. I can only act first. I hope I am not wrong."
"With murderous intent on his body? This..."
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su looked at each other, and both saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Brother Zijing, does anyone know about your visit to Xiakou this time?"
Lu Su frowned and said: "Except for my master, there are only a few people who know that I have come to Xiakou, but those few people are my mainstay in Soochow and will never do such a thing."
Zhao Yi guessed: "Could it be that Xiakou leaked the news?"
Zhuge Liang twirled his beard lightly, his eyes shining slightly, "No matter who the person is, his purpose should be to sabotage our trip to Jiangdong. However, who least wants to see us form an alliance?"
"Brother Kong Ming, you mean...the people sent by Cao Cao?"
"It can only be him."
Zhao Yi was a little puzzled when he heard Zhuge Liang's guess. If Cao Cao really sent someone to assassinate them, he would definitely not send just one person. More importantly, Cao Cao only saw how powerful he was in Changbanpo. Could it be that he would send a pretender here? To die?
Zhao Yi was a little puzzled, and the two most intelligent figures in front of him were the same as him.
Suddenly, at this moment, the alarm bell rang loudly in Zhao Yi's heart. He turned around and took out his gun. With one movement, he pointed it at the bubbling river behind him and shouted: "Military advisor, Mr. Zijing, be careful!"
"Bang bang bang~"
Zhao Yi fired three shots at the surging river water to calm down the weird movement. But before he could relax his vigilance, a figure suddenly jumped up from the water. The figure's long wet hair stuck to the surface of the water. His face was covered by his cheeks, but it could be seen from the robe on his body that it was the man who had just stepped on the tree stump and moved across the river.
"What the hell? You can survive after taking a 98K hit from me? And do you still do such difficult moves?"
Zhao Yi was surprised, but he kept moving his hands and fired two rounds from M1971.
The man seemed to be on guard. The moment before Zhao Yi pulled the trigger, he grabbed a boatman and blocked him in front of him. All the two bullets hit the boatman.
The weirdo kicked the boatman behind, forcing Zhao Yi to be unable to continue shooting. Then he fell backwards and fell out. While he was still in the air, a bright light flashed from top to bottom, and Zhao Yi and others were on the wooden boat. Cut off at the waist.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su who were hiding in the cabin fell into the river at the same time. The latter was okay. After all, he had lived in the east of the Yangtze River for a long time and was familiar with the water. But our Mr. Wolong was miserable. He only knew how to paddle dogs. Now he fell into the river and choked. I drank a lot of water and it was about to sink to the bottom.
"military adviser!?"
Zhao Yi, who was standing at the stern of the ship to steady his body, felt anxious when he saw this scene. He touched the gun tattoo on his right arm and returned to the warehouse. While taking advantage of the unequal flow of time in the warehouse to force himself to calm down, he searched for something inside. Weapons useful for underwater warfare.
"found it!"
Zhao Yi dug out a HKP-11 special underwater silent pistol in the warehouse. This pistol has five barrels and can be loaded with five rounds of ammunition at a time. It has an effective underwater range of fifteen meters and is very suitable for secret infiltration missions. .
He loaded the ammunition, adjusted his breathing, and recalled the tricks used by the weirdo just now in his mind, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Zhao Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Lu Su were discussing whether Cao Cao was sent to destroy the Sun-Liu alliance one moment, but the next moment this ghost appeared out of nowhere and attacked them.
What surprised Zhao Yi the most was that the target of that man's attack was not Zhuge Liang or Lu Su, but him, a young soldier who had just been promoted to the highest rank.
"What the hell, why would someone come to assassinate me? This Zhao Yi is an ordinary branch of the Zhao family in Changshan. Why would the killer come to assassinate me? What the hell..."
Zhao Yi couldn't figure out the killer's purpose of assassinating him, but he didn't dare to delay now. If he delayed any longer, Mr. Military Advisor would end up sleeping in the river before his victory.
Touching the tattoo and returning to the rolling river, Zhao Yi took a breath, turned over and dived, raising the gun in his hand towards the direction where the strange man fell into the water.
Although the strange man fell into the water, it seemed that he had no intention of letting Zhao Yi go. He stepped on the water very fast with his feet, and the scimitar in his hand reflected a soul-stirring cold light.
"I see how you hide in the water, go to hell!"
Zhao Yi raised his hand and fired out all the preloaded bullets in his magazine.
This underwater special pistol obviously gave the killer no time to react. His movements in the water were not as flexible as on the water. All five bullets hit the killer's body. The five bright red liquids quickly dyed the river water red. The killer was slightly in the water. After struggling for a few times, he died.
After Zhao Yi fired the shot, he didn't even look at the opponent's life or death, but swam quickly in the direction of Zhuge Liang.
With one hand, he pulled the military advisor who had stopped struggling up to the surface quickly. When he emerged from the river, he saw that Lu Su was looking for the two of them not far in front of him. When he saw the two of them emerging from the river, he was overjoyed and said: "Here ~~Swim this way~~”
As a former special forces member of the Marine Corps, it goes without saying that Zhao Yi is good at water. Although he was still dragging Zhuge Liang with him, he overtook Lu Su and swam to another wooden boat on the river. With the help of the boatman, he carried Zhuge Liang aboard. , and climbed onto the deck himself.
Zhao Yi turned over and dragged Lu Su onto the boat again, and then went to see Zhuge Liang's condition.
"Strategist, strategist?"
Zhao Yi shouted twice. Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't respond, he quickly laid it down and put his hand on his chest to press it a few times.
It wasn't until Zhuge Liang spat out a mouthful of water with a violent cough that Zhao Yi felt relieved.
"Gentlemen, hurry up. The water in the river is cold. Don't catch the wind chill. I have some dry clothes here, so change into them quickly."
The ship where several people were rescued belonged to a businessman from the south of the Yangtze River. Seeing that Zhuge Liang and Lu Su had extraordinary bearings and were not dressed like ordinary people, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led the three people into the cabin and found dry clothes for them to change. .
Zhuge Liang choked on a lot of water and looked a little depressed, but Lu Su was fine.
"This old man, don't know where he is going?"
The old man cupped his fists and said, "Old man, this ship is going to Fankou to sell some goods."
When Lu Su heard this, he happened to be on the same road with them. He immediately dragged the old man to a deserted place and started talking quietly.
Zhao Yi didn't know what they said. After that, the old man's face changed obviously. He bowed deeply to Lu Su and hurriedly asked people to prepare some food.
Zhao Yi had already determined that the attacker had died at the bottom of the river. He changed into dry clothes and sat next to Zhuge Liang and said, "Commander, how are you? You look bad."
Zhuge Liang shivered in his clothes, seemingly frightened.
"No... no problem. This trip to Jiangdong is of great significance. I must not let anything happen to me. I must not let anything happen to me..."
Zhuge Liang muttered softly, and fell asleep after a while.
Zhao Yi saw that he was sleeping without disturbing him. He walked to the deck and thought about who wanted to assassinate him, but after thinking about it, he didn't even have a clue. He just thought that the other party had mistakenly admitted the wrong person.
The three of them sailed on this merchant ship all night, and docked at Fankou Wharf on the second day.
Lu Su first arranged for Zhao Yi and Zhuge Liang to live in the post house, then went out to find the local defense army, revealed his identity and asked for a ship, and also found a doctor for Zhuge Liang.
There was no other reason. Zhuge, the military advisor, had a fever.
