Lu Wu slowly retracted his halberd that was resting on the water.
The black god's horse hooves stepped across the water and headed towards the ferry. Behind him were the Chu warships that were gradually sinking.
There were broken limbs and broken wood floating on the river. Occasionally, a few soldiers who had taken off their armor in time could be seen struggling in the water, trying to escape from the whirlpool caused by the sinking of the battleship - but they were eventually dragged into the water by the whirlpool.
Everyone on the ferry watched helplessly as the tall black horse carrying the Golden Crown Knight trotted all the way across the river towards the ferry.
The captain of the ship was speechless. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.
This man killed an entire boat of Chu naval forces. If he boarded his own ship again, he would not be able to explain it even if he was covered in words.
My own boat relies on ferrying for a living. If I offend the Chu State, the ferrying will not be able to survive.
Even with his eighteen courages, he didn't dare to refuse this old man to come on board.
The Chu warship still had half of its mast exposed on the water.
"Master!"
There was a shout in the distance - the sound penetrated the river wind and reached Lu Wu's ears.
A smaller ferry caught up from a distance.
On the bow of the boat, Qiutong and others were fully armed, each carrying a long sword, making it clear that they were coming to respond.
Lu Wu shook his head and did not respond. He just rode his horse and jumped onto the ferry from the river. Then he hung his halberd on Heishen and patted Heishen's neck to let him rest on his own.
The ferry he took was a ferry that ferries people back and forth on the river.
The ferry Qiu Tong and the others took was a boat found by General Tong Zhi, and was only responsible for transporting Qiu Tong and others. Although the boat was smaller, it was spacious because of the small number of passengers.
Lu Wu didn't quite believe that the Chu State would specifically intercept and kill him in order to sabotage the battle for the inheritance. After all, he had already made it clear that he had left the circle of the Wu State and had no essential conflict of interest with the Chu State.
However, just in case, before crossing the river, Lu Wu told Qiu Tong and others that if the Chu State really wanted to ambush him, they might do it in the middle of the river.
He himself is not afraid, but in an environment like Jiangshang's, he may not be able to protect others.
Therefore, Lu Wu asked Qiu Tong and the others to ask the boatman to turn around and go back to the Kingdom of Wu whenever they saw someone intercepting and killing them in front of them, and not to come up to join the battle.
But now it seems that these girls are still disobedient and insist on coming to help.
If they were really allowed to join the battlefield, even Lu Wu would not be sure to take good care of them at all times. After all, no matter how strong Lu Wu was, he was still a human being at this moment.

a moment ago.
The Chu warship appeared on the river and rushed towards the ferry ahead.
"No, why are the Chu Navy troops dispatched? Lao Li, turn around quickly!"
The boss of the ship, Wang Lei, was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and wrinkles. He quickly called to his boatman, Lao Li, to pull the sail rope while he turned the rudder and was about to turn back.
"Don't turn around, charge forward!" A female voice shouted from outside the helm house door.
"Turn around!" Wang Lei did not hesitate and ignored the woman outside the door.
Although these people on the ship are distinguished guests whom the master has repeatedly told to take good care of, no matter how much you take care of them, you can't let yourself and your brothers die with these people, right?
That's a Chu warship!
In water warfare, ships are more important than people - not to mention that they have dispatched warships, and there will never be a bunch of losers on them.
"Choke - click"
The long sword is unsheathed.
The solid wood hatch, which was an inch thick, was split open with a knife from the outside.
The person then flew up with a kick, kicking the broken hatch and causing pieces of wood to scatter in all directions.
She strode into the helm, stretched out her hand, and put the long knife on Wang Lei's shoulder. The heavy blade tilted Wang Lei's shoulder.
"I said, charge forward!" Hongmei shouted with her eyes wide open.
The long knives used by Lu Wu and the five girls are all of the same style.
The blade is as wide as a palm, and the back is as thick as a thumb. It is six feet and three inches long. It is made of hundred-smelted steel and weighs sixteen or seventeen kilograms. It can be used with one or both hands. It is like a smaller horse-cutting sword.
This kind of long knife can really cut a galloping horse in two when wielded by a strong man.
"Take your knife away. If you want to die, don't drag us with you!" Wang Lei didn't believe that the woman dared to kill him.
The profession of shipwright and sailor is quite dangerous, and one cannot do it without some courage and force.
Moreover, two companions armed with iron hooks and swords had already arrived outside the cabin, making Wang Lei even more confident.
Hongmei didn't talk nonsense. With a flash of his long sword, he beheaded Wang Lei - the young master was in danger, who had time to reason here?
Either obey or die!
The expressions of the two people outside the door changed at the same time. They were about to rush in to avenge the ship boss Wang Lei, but they saw the tall woman turned around, the sword light turned into a sword, and she cut her in the middle. Not only did the woman kill the ship boss, but she also killed him. He took action first.
The two people quickly raised the iron hook to fight with one sword, but the long sword in the woman's hand was as heavy as a mountain. With one strike, the iron hook was cut off and the single sword flew away.
The two men's jaws were gaping, and they were waiting for death in front of them. Hongmei did not kill them, but held a knife in one hand, pointed the long knife at the tip of their noses, and simply shouted: "Sail the boat, rush over - or die!"
At the same time, other boatmen and sailors were also controlled by Qiutong and others.
Except for the two people who tried to trick each other because the other was a woman, but were killed instantly, the other boatmen obeyed the orders and pulled the sail ropes to speed up the ferry.

Looking at Lu Wu's well-proportioned and strong back, Wei Zhaoting's eyes shone, but he did not dare to step forward.
Being able to run around as a woman to maintain the Wei family's business, Wei Zhaoting is certainly not an ordinary woman, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to recruit Lu Wu, a general's son who was suspected of escaping from Wu.
However, no matter how imaginative she was, she would never have imagined that Lu Wu would ride his horse across the river, roll up a waterspout one man and one horse, and sank a warship, killing almost all the people on the warship.
This level of martial arts has exceeded the imagination of anyone on this ship. Everyone looked at Lu Wu as if they were looking at a god.
Only a bold woman like Wei Zhaoting would have her first reaction be "Wow, what a tough guy."
But even so, she didn't dare to step forward for a ride.
You can tell with your toes that this golden-crowned knight who calls himself Lu Wu must be someone the Chu Kingdom wants to get rid of quickly, otherwise they wouldn't have dispatched warships.
Now that the Chu warship was sunk, I don’t know how many people died - I don’t know how many important people were among the dead.
Apart from anything else, the man in black who lost his weapon and fled was actually able to run nearly a hundred steps on the river before sinking into the water. He was obviously an incredible master.
At least Wei Zhaoting has never seen such a master in his travels in the past few years.
After this battle, even if there was no enmity between Chu State and the golden-crowned knight who called himself Lu Wu, they would now have a deep hatred.
What's more, this doesn't look like there is no grievance or hatred?
This Lu Wu might not be afraid of Chu's retaliation, but if a person as small as the Wei family came forward, he would be shattered into pieces if he was touched.
This Lu Wu is obviously not an ordinary person, and it is rare for him to be on the same boat. It would be a pity not to get acquainted with important people - the chances of getting acquainted with important people are very rare.
How can we benefit from it without harming it?
Wei Zhaoting's eyes turned rapidly, but he couldn't think of a way.
