Looking at the formation of these people, it seems that they did not accidentally discover the abnormality here, but they most likely received a tip and came here to help.
"General Liao, these people who died are all members of General Meng of Rongzhou."
One of the generals probably reported to the leader after confirming the identity of the body.
Then a low-pitched hoarse voice sounded:
"Looks like it's too late! Huh, who is so brave and dares to kill generals and soldiers in our Shu territory?
Have you found any clues? "
Wang Qi'an said that there were clues, but it was a pity that he erased them.
At this time, subordinates who went to other ships to inspect also entered the cabin to report.
The situation is of course the same as what Wang Qian found before.
General Liao's shrill voice came up again:
"Send an order to return to Luchuan. Immediately blockade the Lichuan water and land pass and strictly inspect the carriages, horses and ships. Once suspicious people are found, they will be arrested immediately without asking for instructions."
The general followed and rushed out of the cabin.
General Liao paused and continued to ask:
"Is there any news from Rongzhou City?"
A person next to me immediately responded:
"General, according to Lieutenant General Lu's report, the four gates of Rongzhou City are closed. Our troops shouted many times outside the city, but received no response, so we don't know what the situation is inside the city."
General Liao said "hmm" and muttered:
"Uncle Meng Huang called me urgently to help, but he didn't open the city gate. Could it be that he is too old and is confused?
Liu Dutong, please lead two hundred people to stay here, and the rest will follow me to Rongzhou City to see what happened. "
Just as they were about to leave, there was a loud explosion outside.
"General, a ship exploded and caught fire..."
A subordinate hurriedly came in to report. Before he could finish his words, there was another explosion.
Wang Qi'an touched the wooden box in the hiding place, and suddenly his expression changed. He called Qian Xiyue who was peeking out secretly, and whispered:
"These are just gunpowder and brimstone, let's go quickly..."
At this time, the explosions continued one after another, getting closer and closer, and they were already roaring in their ears.
Outside, there was fire and smoke. Soldiers on the boat who had no time to escape were blown into the sky or caught on fire and fell into the river. There were countless casualties and screams.
With a "bump", the hull of Wang Qi'an's ship shook violently and tilted sideways, causing Wang Qi'an and the two to almost lose their footing.
The sound sounded again, and then a beam of fire shot toward the wooden box where they were.
"No, let's go quickly..."
Wang Qi'an was shocked. He rushed over and grabbed Qian Xiyue's wrist. He shattered the wooden wall with his palm and jumped out.
"Bang...bang...bang", loud noises exploded behind him.
An irresistible fiery force slammed into Wang Qi'an and the two of them.
Wang Qi'an felt as if his back had been hit by a hammer, his energy and blood surged up, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The situation of Qian Xiyue, who is far less powerful than Wang Qi'an, is even worse.
When the two fell into the river, Qian Xiyue had already fainted. If Wang Qi'an hadn't held her wrist, she would have been washed away by the river.
The explosion above the head continued, fire flashed in all directions, screams continued, and countless soldiers fell into the water.
Wang Qi'an managed to suppress his injuries, and before the fire came over, he pulled Qian Xiyue and plunged into the water.
With Wang Qi'an's skill, even if he holds his breath in the water for a long time, there will be no problem. ….
But Qian Xiyue, who was in a coma, found it impossible to do so.
In desperation, Wang Qi'an had no choice but to press his lips against his lips and circulate the true energy into his mouth.
He hugged Qian Xiyue, used his remaining strength, stayed away from the hot water, and dived towards the location of the Hou Dayu cargo ship.
Yama Luodian's plan was really vicious. He must have placed gunpowder on the ship in advance, then sent people to hide in a dark place, and then fired rockets to detonate the gunpowder depending on the situation.
In this way, the opponents who come to support and fall into the trap can be eliminated.
This Liao Jiajun is afraid that he will be finished, and so will Rongzhou.
It is very likely that it has fallen into the hands of Yama Luodian.
Why does Yama Luodian do this? Could it be that seizing Chengdu by chance failed, and the plan has been changed to seize the important town in Shu by force?
Wang Qi'an sprinted a hundred feet under the water, away from the sea of fire, and spotted the location of the Minjiang Gang cargo ship. He jumped into the air, drifted, and landed steadily on the side of the ship.
People on the deck were walking back and forth, looking anxiously at the burning fleet.
As soon as the two daughters of Chu Yunxia and Chu Yunxia saw Wang Qi'an landing on the deck, they rushed over quickly.
"Brother Qi'an, Senior Hu and Daxia Liu are looking for you...ah...what happened to her..."
When Chu Yunxia saw the bloodless Qian Xiyue lying on the ground, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"We encountered a gunpowder explosion on the ship. She was only injured and passed out. You help her back first..."
"Wow." Wang Qi'an finally couldn't control his injuries that he had been suppressing, and he opened his mouth and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
Chu Yunxia hurriedly took out a medicine bottle from her arms and gave one pill to Wang Qi'an and Qian Xiyue respectively.
This was the healing elixir Du Qianqiu had left for her before, and it was very effective.
Wang Qi'an was only slightly injured. After vomiting out the congestion in his body, his menstruation became smoother.
At this moment, the medicine enters the body, and under the stimulation of the skill, the acupoints are stable, and the injury is not serious for the time being.
At this time, two figures landed on the bow of the ship and rushed towards them.
Naturally it is Hu Luanjiao and Liu Yunbai.
"The old man said you are lucky... Oh, this girl..."
Hu Luanjiao knelt down to check Qianxi's menstrual veins, then hurriedly supported her on several acupoints on her back, and placed a palm on her Tianling Gai.
Qian Xiyue's face turned red, and black congestion continued to ooze from the corners of her mouth. After about half a cup of tea, she finally woke up slowly.
"I didn't expect that once Yama Luodian came out of the world, everything would be turned upside down."
After listening to Wang Qian's description of what he saw, Liu Yunbai couldn't help but sigh.
Hou Dayu asked solemnly:
"So, General Liao is probably the guard of Luchuan City, an important town downstream of Rongzhou, Liao Jiangyu... If something happens to him, will Luchuan also be in danger? In your opinion, should we continue to move forward? OK?"
Hou Dayu has never encountered such a scene. He is worried that if he continues to move forward, if he encounters Yama Luodian, let alone saving the cargo ship, he may not even be able to save his life.
Wang Qian muttered:
"This batch of reinforcements must have just arrived from Luchuan. Presumably Yama Palace has not yet occupied the city, and may even be still in Rongzhou City...
If we can hurry up and get there, we may be able to take the opportunity to warn the Luchuan defenders to beware of Yama Luodian's machinations. "
Liu Yunbai agreed:
"I have to rush back to Lushan as soon as possible and tell the leader about this. Let him call on all the factions as soon as possible to prepare themselves for the threat from Yama Palace."
As the fire on the river gradually extinguished and weakened, under the control of the excellent helmsman of the Minjiang Gang, the cargo ship found a gap, passed smoothly, and moved forward at full speed.
About an hour later, the cargo ship arrived at Luchuan.
The water surface is gradually narrowing, and reinforced and thickened parapets can be seen on both sides of the river, as well as beacon towers, catapults and other shore defense structures.
On the water in front, there are two medium-sized double-decker warships moored on the left and right sides, facing each other across the river.
There are also twenty or thirty three-sail speedboats parked next to it, which can carry a hundred people.
Hundreds of guards on the ship lined up neatly, armed with guns and bows, and were heavily guarded.
At Jiang'an Wharf, a general led a patrol team, calling the passing ships to dock one after another, and was questioning and inspecting them one by one. .
