On the fast boat behind them, arrows flew from time to time, but because Li Mo and his boat were too fast, all the arrows shot behind them fell into the water.
Seeing that they could not catch up with Li Mo, the riders shouted,
"Hurry up and fall into the flood gate! Hurry up and fall into the flood gate!"
"Close the water gate and don't let the thief escape!"
After the people at the water gate heard the shouts, dozens of soldiers immediately stirred the chains and controlled the water gate to slowly fall.
The water gate cannot fall down all at once, otherwise it will hit the bottom of the water deeply, making it difficult to pull it out, and it will also cause damage to the river and the city wall. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it will not be unchained and fall freely.
The water gate in front of them was slowly falling, and the other gate-keeping soldiers also drew their bows and arrows and shot at Li Mo and the others.
When Li Mo saw this, his face became solemn and he shouted,
"Quick! Rush out! Rush out as fast as you can!"
The boat rushed forward with a whoosh like an arrow leaving the string.
Li Mo asked everyone to bend down to avoid the oncoming arrows. He even used his arms to paddle quickly, for fear that he would be blocked in the city if he was slow.
Fortunately, their speed was fast enough, and most of the arrows fell into the water, while a small number of arrows were also blocked by the door panels.
Seeing that the city wall is getting closer and closer, the sluice gate is also slowly falling, and it is only one meter above the water.
Li Mo gritted his teeth and paddled desperately. Finally, everyone on the boat rushed into the city gate with their heads pressed against the sluice gate.
The sluice gate behind them suddenly fell. It did not stop Li Mo and the others, but blocked all the pursuers on the boats.
"Quick, quick, keep paddling!"
Li Mo shouted and rowed with all his strength.
As soon as they rushed out of the city gate and reached the river outside the city, dense arrows were shot down from the top of the city.
"Made, it's not over yet!"
Li Mo and Qiu Ying worked together to lift the door panel and put it on the pile of bundles to block the arrows.
They were very fast, and after resisting a wave of arrows, they rushed out of the range of the arrows.
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief, kicked the door into the water, and then shouted towards the city wall,
"Brothers in the city don't need to send him away. We will pick up Mr. Ning. Ning Shuai has surrendered to our Mr. Nie. He is doing well. You don't have to worry!"
"If you don't say a few words, you will die!"
Qiuying pulled Li Mo to sit down.
"I finally escaped, Xiao Qiuying. You performed well this time. I will report your credit to the Lord after I return to the county."
Li Mo sat leaning against the side of the boat, his right arm naturally resting on Qiu Ying's shoulder, and he held her in his arms.
"Do I need you to report my merits? I don't do things for you just for merit. You helped me take revenge. My life belongs to you, and I don't ask for anything in return!"
"Ah, yes, yes, your life is yours, and your life is mine."
Li Mo smiled mischievously.
"Fuck me!"
Qiu Ying pushed Li Mo. Li Mo touched the wound and immediately grinned and screamed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you were injured, and now the wound is deep again?"
Qiuying asked anxiously.
Li Mo's eyes were filled with tears and he said aggrievedly,
"It hurts, it hurts too much, but my arms don't hurt as much as my heart does. My heart hurts so much. Only your kiss can soothe my pain..."
"I'd better throw you overboard."
Qiuying said expressionlessly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
All the Shadow Guards laughed, and Qiuying's face turned even redder.
After the boat traveled two miles, it docked on the west side of the river. They got off the boat one after another, and then pushed hard to let the boat drift with the current.
There is also a torch on the boat to confuse the enemy.
Of course, when I got off the boat, I also took off all the baggage with arrows in it.
In Li Mo's words, these are all great contributors.
In the small woods on the roadside, there was a carriage and a dozen horses parked, and two Shadow Guards were guarding the place.
They threw their baggage into the cart and asked the three Ning family members to get on the carriage. Then the others rode horses and quickly entered the path, running towards the west under the bright moonlight.
After traveling for dozens of miles, it was already early in the morning. They turned a few corners and came to a hidden mountain forest.
They cleared a piece of ground, lit a bonfire, and roasted food to eat. Qiu Ying also pulled out arrows and bandaged Li Mo's wounds.
After Ning's father looked at Li Mo's bleeding wound, he lowered his head in shame and said,
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault. This little brother was injured. If it weren't for saving me, none of the brothers would have risked their lives."
Li Mo smiled and said,
"Old man, there is no need to feel guilty. This is how our job is. If we don't work hard for you today, we will work hard for other things tomorrow. It's okay."
Father Ning sighed,
"My lord, is it really worth your efforts? For him, you are willing to take risks for me, an old man I have never met."
Hearing this, Li Mo said proudly,
"Our Lord Nie is the best man in the world and the best lord. He regards us as brothers. For him, we are willing to die!"
"It seems that this is a really good official. No wonder Wushuang is willing to serve him."
Seeing the old man agreeing with Nie Chen, Li Mo smiled happily.
His mission this time was to rescue Ning Wushuang's parents, and then make them feel at home and happy.
And instilled the concept that Nie Chen is the most good person in the world.
"Okay, please stop saying a few words. Now that you are injured, leave the task of leading the team to me. You can rest in peace and recover while I take everyone back."
After Qiuying bandaged the wound, he said slowly.
Hearing this, Li Mo shook his head and said,
"No, how can you, the person in charge of Dongping County, leave? It is my task to protect the two elders. You have to stay here and continue to gather information until we wipe out King Andong's family.
My little injury is nothing. Although I also really want you to come with me and stay with me, the task is the task, and you and I both have tasks.
The personal relationship between children is no doubt beautiful, but for the sake of your royal career, we also have to make sacrifices.
But don’t worry, Qiuying, the separation between you and me is only temporary. When the world is stable in the future and we don’t have so many tasks, we can stay together forever, rubbing shoulders with each other, for the rest of our lives..."
The more Qiu Ying listened, the more he felt something was wrong. The first one sounded quite moved, but when he got to the second one, the style of painting went off-kilter.
Who wants to have an affair with your children?
Are you ashamed?
Seeing Li Mo's injury, Qiu Ying didn't argue with him anymore.
After resting for a night, Qiu Ying quietly returned to Dongping County with two people, while Li Mo took three people from the Ning family and followed the path, sneaking all the way to Weihu County without entering the city or staying in a hotel.
