"You want me to die? Then I'll kill you first!"
Xu Ling felt furious, thinking of the threat from the scalded man. If the scalded man escaped alive, he would have no peace of mind!
Only when the scalded man dies in front of his eyes can he rest assured!
Xu Lingcong took out the dagger, stopped escaping, and ran straight towards the scalded man!
Seeing this, the scalded man also brandished his long knife and wanted to fight Xu Ling to the death.
But in his hand, his long sword was not as good as Xu Ling's dagger, so he had no choice but to drop the long sword and fight Xu Ling with his bare hands!
The scalded man was very strong, and Xu Ling couldn't match him. He had to use his advantage of being more flexible in the water than the scalded man to escape, consuming the scalded man's oxygen, and swinging the dagger when he wasn't prepared!
"Sir! Look there! There's something down there!"
The people on the boat also noticed that something was wrong here. There were uneasy bubbles under the water, and traces of blood rolled out from time to time.
Wei Wuxia stared at the water. Just now, both the Jiang bandit leader and Xu Ling fell into the water. Could it be the two of them?
"Sir, do we want to help?"
"Don't mind your own business. Are all the Jiang bandits dead?"
"Report to your lord, they were all killed, even those who dived, they died as soon as their heads showed up!"
"Have you found the spices and official silver?"
"I found it, but I can't find the key..."
"Smash it open!"
"yes!"
Xu Ling could hear the words coming from the shore. It had been two minutes since the two had been fighting underwater. Even though he was very good at water, he couldn't hold back under such intense action.
The scalded man was worse than him. He used his hands and feet to swim up to the surface of the water in an attempt to breathe.
Take advantage of now! Xu Ling immediately wrapped himself around him and stabbed the scalded man with his dagger desperately.
"Ahhh!" The scalded man endured the pain and came up to the surface, screaming repeatedly. The surging river water reflected a blood-red color. At this moment, Xu Ling jumped up from the water and hugged the scalded man's neck from behind. , a touch of silver light...
What Chai Yanjun told him was right.
No matter how powerful a person is, his neck is still his Achilles' heel.
The scalded man gradually lost his life and his body gradually floated on the water. Xu Ling picked up his body and floated on the water, panting continuously.
Wei Wuxia looked at Xu Ling in front of him with a complicated expression, never expecting that he would win this fight.
However, even if he was the winner, Wei Wuxia didn't want Xu Ling to live.
"killed……"
Xu Ling gasped for air. Hearing this, he immediately took a deep breath, waiting to dive into the water.
Sure enough, these bastard men can’t be trusted!
"Sir! Oh no! Those silver and spices are all fake!"
Suddenly someone on the boat reported in a panic. Wei Wuxia's pupils shrank: "What did you say?"
"Look, sir!" Liu Tong leaned over and lifted a stone from the box, "There is no official silver here, only stones!"
Wei Wuxia's mind was racing, "Catch a Jiang bandit and ask!"
"The Jiang bandits are all dead!"
"Xu Ling!" Wei Wuxia stared at Xu Ling who was soaking in the water, "What on earth is going on?"
Xu Ling was exhausted and smiled bitterly: "Master Wei, do you still want to kill me?"
"If you don't want to kill me, let's have a chat."
Wei Wuxia narrowed his eyes, "What if I still want to kill you?"
"Then let the people take a breath. When the people swim back to the shore, you can calm down and let's talk about other things."
He actually didn't complain at all about Wei Wuxia crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
Wei Wuxia suddenly felt that the person in front of him was interesting, and sneered: "Do you know where the official silver and spices go?"
"The common people don't know," Xu Ling said with an innocent look on his face, "The common people have been reduced to this situation, how can they still run away with these bandits' belongings?"
This is true, Wei Wuxia saw with his own eyes how embarrassed he was.
"Where did that thing go?"
Wei Wuxia still ordered someone to fish Xu Ling out of the water.
Xu Ling Dong's face turned pale and his lips were purple. He was soaked all over and felt cool when the river breeze blew.
He trembled and said: "This person wants to harm me, and he must be wary of me. Maybe he didn't bring anything on board at all."
"If it's not on the ship, then it must be in the gangster's lair?"
"Sir, what should we do now? Are we going to the gangster's lair?"
They had attacked there and knew where it was.
However, Wei Wuxia calmed down: "Don't worry, there are reefs everywhere. Let's go back to Lingbao Town first and wait until dawn tomorrow."
Xu Ling thought to himself that this Wei Wuxia was bad enough and had some brains. If he didn't go with him in the future, he would have to find an opportunity to kill him in order to avenge today.
"Then what should we do with this man?" Liu Tong pointed at Xu Ling who was shivering on the boat, "Are you still going to kill him?"
Wei Wuxia looked at Xu Ling with a malicious smile on his lips.
"Xu Ling, did you just say that if I refuse to spare your life, you can swim back to the shore?"
A bad premonition arose in Xu Ling's heart, and he laughed awkwardly and said, "The little one is bragging. The adults are kind-hearted, so it doesn't take much effort to take care of the little one."
"Haha, but I got off to a bad start, and I feel very unhappy," Wei Wuxia said with a smile on his face. His well-maintained face was full of malice. He was wearing official boots and kicked Xu Ling off the boat, " If you can swim back, you will be considered lucky, and I will let bygones be bygones."
"If you can't swim back, just stay with them!"
Dozens of corpses were floating on the river. Some corpses were covered with stab wounds, and some had arrows inserted...
Xu Ling fell into the water with a splash, and his body felt so heavy that he seemed to be sinking.
He fell into the water, his eyes were waterlogged, but he still stared at Wei Wuxia's face.
Officials are unkind. If one day a knife is in hand...
"Sir, he seems to have sunk. Do you want to fish him out?"
"Snapped!"
Wei Wuxia slapped Liu Tong directly and almost kicked him off, "Idiot! I don't need a woman's kindness around me!"
Liu Tong quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sir, I know I was wrong!"
"Get aboard and return to Lingbao Town!"
Of course Xu Ling did not sink to the bottom. He sank to the depths of the river. When no one could see him, he slipped into the space. He took off his wet clothes, ate something, warmed up and moved his hands and feet. Although the arrow wound on his arm was serious, it was not serious. level of activity.
Just think of it as winter swimming.
When Xu Lingyou got tired, he went to the space to rest. It was not until dawn that he heard the sound of paddleboards paddling not far away, and he quickly called for help.
The fisherman thought he had seen a ghost so early in the morning, so he wheeled the boat close to Xu Ling. When he saw that he was alive, he quickly fished him out.
"Oh my god, why are you soaking in the river!"
Seeing that Xu Ling had no clothes on, he quickly found a coir raincoat for him to put on, and brought him a bowl of hot tea brewed on the boat.
Xu Ling drank hot tea and finally came back to life. He said to the fisherman: "I am a soldier under the Xuanfu envoy. I fell into the water while attacking the river bandits last night. There are many corpses of the river bandits ten miles ahead. Don't go forward, old man. Afraid of scaring you."
The fisherman really believed it, rowed back, and then sent Xu Ling to Lingbao Town.
