Chapter 158 Underwater

The smoke rolled on the canal and fell into a sea of ​​fire.

The utuan screams, panic, and the commands of Maka mixed together, and finally they were all silent in the firewood burning on the ship, making a "crackling" tearing sound.

The east wind came late, but it was so strong. It seemed that I knew that I was late and desperately refused to stop. Thousands of utopian warships were connected by iron hooks. The fire came quickly and they had no time to escape. In the blink of an eye, they were all trapped in the sea of ​​fire. The rare intelligent utopian, who was a little farther away, tried his best to cut off the connected iron hooks, but the smoke was rolling, and the direction was impossible to tell the direction. There were reefs everywhere here. If they accidentally bumped into it, the ship capsized.

At this time, the small boats of Jiyang City Army took advantage of their advantages. The boats were flexible and had waterways. Even if they could not distinguish the direction, they were from Jiyang people. No one knew about the waterways and left easily. Even if they were implicated by the fire, everyone in Jiyang could get water, and they could potentially be underwater early and swam to the shore, mostly unscathed.

The Utu soldiers were not so lucky. In this fire attack, there was only a lot of people left to escape. Even if they escaped, their morale was in chaos and their morale was dispersed. I am afraid that the army would be defeated before they could be defeated.

Under the water, He Yan and Xiao Jue swam to the shore.

The moment the fire was lit, Xiao Jue had already grabbed her and jumped into the water. The spring river water was still cool. He Yan could swim, but when the water disappeared through her eyes and nose, he unconsciously became stiff all over.

She seemed to have returned to the moment when she was drowned in the pond by He Wanru's people at the Xu family. The same is true. The sky is above the water and is getting farther and farther away from herself. She is left under the water forever and can no longer see the light.

At the beginning, I could still support it, but after a while, I became increasingly unable to force it. The physical discomfort can always be dealt with quickly, while the fear in my heart, the shadow left by something, cannot be simply forgotten.

She gradually landed behind Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue was ahead and seemed to have noticed it. Seeing that He Yan was behind him, his expression was rare and painful, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He Yan did not mention whether it was water in front of Xiao Jue, but he certainly did it. Otherwise, when he jumped off the boat, he would not have been able to support it. But now it seems that he is afraid of water?

This is also possible. For example, when a person who was fired in the past, he would hide when he saw the fire. When a person fell off the horse and was injured, he would never be willing to get on the horse again. Even if he was a master of horse riding in the past, He Yan should know how to water, but he was afraid of water, and was probably the same as those people.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw He Yan's eyes closed and his expression was not right.

Xiao Jue frowned slightly, not even changing his anger? If this continues, she will be suffocated to death.

He turned around and returned to He Yan's side, pressed He Yan's shoulder, and tried to wake He Yan up, but He Yan seemed to have lost most of his consciousness and had no response to his actions.

She looked painful, and she didn't know if she thought of some bad memories. Even under the water, she could still be nervous. Xiao Jue looked up and saw that there was still a distance from the shore. If this continued, she would die.

The girl's face was close to her. When she reached the water, her long hair had already dispersed, and the dirt on her face was washed away, making her facial features look as transparent and fragile as glass, as if she was about to disappear under the water. Xiao Jue made a fuss, took a deep breath, pressed her shoulder, and leaned over and kissed her.

The breath kept coming from her lips, and the suffocation felt much less. He Yan felt someone holding her. She opened her eyes in a daze, as if she saw the handsome young man's face approaching her.

Is it a dream? He Yan thought to himself, why did she have a spring dream when life and death are at stake? The object of this spring dream is so handsome, but the location is actually in the water, which is quite regretful.

No matter how many she had, she wouldn't remember it.

The coolness slowly spread from her face. He Yan spit out a sip of water with a "cough cough cough" and sat up all of a sudden. Mu Yi was beside her. Seeing her awakening, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss He, you finally woke up."

This is on the shore, on the water surface of the canal in the distance, there is still thick smoke and a sea of ​​fire. She still remembers that she and Xiao Jue jumped into the water, looked back, and there was no trace of Xiao Jue around her, and asked, "Where is the governor? Why am I here?"

"As soon as I arrived on the shore, I saw the governor carrying you out. Miss He, you looked like you fainted. The governor asked me to take care of you and left by himself." Mu Yi scratched his head: "There are many utensils coming up on the shore. There are not enough troops in Jiyang City. Miss He, you can rest here, I will go and help first."

"No need." He Yan pulled a piece of fabric out of the hem of his inner clothes, tied up his long hair that was spread in the water, and stood up, "I'll go with you."

...

There was also a fierce battle in the mouth of the gourd at this moment.

Previously, Liu Buying used the formation to trap a group of utu people. After the utu people broke the formation, he fought fiercely with Liu Buying again. In the end, he lost his morale and made great progress. When he reached Hulu's mouth, he was all restless and never discovered the crisis hidden in the dark. Cui Yuezhi's archer ambushed in the dark shot and caught him off guard. At this moment, there were not many utu people left, and he fought with the five thousand Jiyang city troops arranged by Cui Yuezhi.

"I don't know what the situation is on the river." Cui Yuezhi was thinking in his heart when he suddenly saw someone coming and said loudly: "Master Zhongqi, the east wind is rising, and Governor Xiao has already attacked the Utu military ships. The Utu people are in chaos at this moment and are in a mess!"

"Really?" Cui Yuezhi was overjoyed, "God bless me Jiyang!"

When the ukulele on the other side heard this, his heart was immediately in chaos. While commanding the soldiers around him not to believe in the enemy's tricks to disrupt the morale of the army, he couldn't help but think about it. He had already arranged for them to go ashore first, and the subsequent army would arrive later. But as soon as they got ashore, they encountered the white-clothed swordsman. He had been entangled for a while just walking out of the formation. It had been so long. The subsequent army should have arrived long ago, so why didn't they move now?

With one move, the second decline, the third decline was exhausted. Cui Yuezhi became more and more brave, and the ukulele soldiers retreated step by step.

"My sons!" Cui Yuezhi shouted: "Fight with me!"

...

On the bank of the canal, the Utu soldiers who escaped from the sea of ​​fire and the Jiyang City Army fought fiercely.

When He Yan rushed over, there were sounds of swords facing each other. There was no Cui Yuezhi here. The dozens of people who had set fire with He Yan spontaneously led by He Yan.

"The advantage of the number of Utu soldiers is gone, at least the difference is not too big now." He Yan said. The fire buried most of the Utu soldiers in it. Although there are more left than Jiyang City, it is not as big as that of Jiyang City.

"Besides, their morale must be disintegrating at this moment, so we can take this opportunity to catch them all in one go." He Yan clenched the whip in his hand, "Go!"

On the side of the ship, she saw Xiao Jue being surrounded by Uttors. These were Makka's confidants. It seemed that when they set fire, Makka could not run out of it. Seeing that the master was gone and he would die when he returned, the remaining confidants looked at Xiao Jue, and he could all take the lead. If they could kill Xiao Jue, they might be able to make up for their merits.

The utu people were extremely dense, and they took turns to rush up and slash Xiao Jue. He Yan rushed towards the crowd with a whip, knocked down one person with a whip, kicked away the person in front of him, and retreated to Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm coming," He Yan said: "I agreed to advance and retreat together. I still hope that this time I will make a contribution. The governor will submit me to the court and give me an official position."

Xiao Jue sneered: "I think beautifully."

He Yan slowly whipped his whip in front of him, "Isn't it a pity if I don't dream of being beautiful?" He rushed into the crowd.

These utumen were extremely cunning and cruel, and they only fought desperately to attack Xiao Jue and He Yan. They were simply crazy, as if they were trying to fight to the death. The remaining Jiyang City Army was mingled with the other utumen and could not get close to them at all.

He Yan was slightly annoyed that the number of Jiyang City Army was too small. At present, these ukuleles were no longer fighting, but just gathering people to kill people against Xiao Jue and her.

"The leaders of these people must be solved first." She said in secret.

Just as she was thinking, she saw the group of ukuleles suddenly accelerate the attack. Logically speaking, since they were killing people, she had caused them to suffer such a big loss. She should not ignore her, but this momentum was aimed at Xiao Jue alone.

What are they going to do? He Yan became alert and subconsciously retreated to remind Xiao Jue, but as soon as he turned around, he heard a "boom".

On the small boat of the Jiyang City Army that was docking, Xiao Jue and the Utuners exploded a loud bang, just like a fireboat in the center of the river. He Yan was also blown up to the shore. She immediately got up and looked into the distance. She immediately "buzzed" in her mind and shouted: "Xiao Jue!"

The debris of the ship were blown everywhere, and the water was blown violently. Someone came to pull her hand and retreated. It was Muyi. Muyi said: "This is a firearm! I heard people say that among the utu people's craftsmen, some of them can make firearms, but they are extremely rare. I didn't expect that they brought one on their body today... It must have been for Governor Xiao!"

He Yan once heard of it, but it is difficult to make firearms and consume a lot of money. Even if you make ten, you may not be able to use them. The Fuyue Army had limited military pay back then, so he finally gave up. The Utuans should not have many firearms, otherwise they could throw dozens of them out of the beginning. I think it was because Maka was gone, and following the idea of ​​losing both sides, he pulled Xiao Jue down together.

"Damn it." She gritted her teeth, turned around and ran towards the direction where the ship had just exploded.

"Miss He!" Mu Yi grabbed her and said anxiously: "There are still remaining firearm fragments around, and it is likely to explode again. It is very dangerous for you to go now."

He Yan shook his hand away, and Mu Yi wanted to persuade him again. When he saw her expression clearly, he suddenly paused and loosened his hand.

He Yan turned around and ran into the water.

There were more and more utu people around him. When she stopped He Yan, she simply shook the whip, sneered, turned over and jumped up, and snatched away the long swords from the two utu people. She had both swords in her hands, and there was no hesitation at all. As the sword was drawn, the enemy fell down.

She was hindered and could not expose herself with swords, but at least she could use a knife. But what's the use of this? If she could have been a little earlier... a little earlier... He Yan's heart suddenly choked up.

There was nothing on the water, only the fragments of the ship were floating, and Xiao Jue could not be seen. That person... the person who pulled her out of the desperate situation would remember her birthday, make her longevity noodles, take her to see fireflies, and laugh at her in spring but indulge her, how could the person who disappeared here?

She wants to get to that water surface quickly and find Xiao Jue quickly. Lin Shuanghe is still in Jiyang. If she finds it soon, there may be some savings. There are not many people in this world who treat her best, and the one who treats her best will never die.

Utou was too hindered. He Yan's eyebrows and eyes were cold and his long sword was flying in his hand, which made people dazzled. Her steps were also constantly, and she rushed desperately to the place where she had just exploded.

Mu Yi looked at the girl's figure and felt that there seemed to be nothing in the world that could hinder her pace. She reached out as agile as an eagle and as sharp as a knife. He didn't know that women could do this too.

The utu rushed up and was waved away by He Yan. She moved forward like this, and the corpse of the utu soldiers was covered behind her, and finally reached the surface of the water.

"Xiao Jue--" she shouted.

No one answered.

"Xiao Jue——"

He Yan bent down and tried to fish out something from the water, but when his hand lifted it out of the water, only the water flowed through the gaps between his fingers and nothing left.

Empty.

She was a little confused, so confused that she could not tell what the irrepressible sadness in her heart was. It felt like the day when she suddenly became blind, and the day when she was pressed in the water by He Wanru's people, she was about to lose something very important. Such sadness.

"Xiao Jue..." she murmured.

At this moment, someone suddenly heard behind him: "What are you shouting?"

She suddenly turned around and saw the young man wearing black armor strode towards him. There seemed to be a faint mockery in his slightly cool eyes like autumn water.

From the shallow water to the surface of the shore, there were all the Uttors she had just been angry and killed. The body fell aside, and it was obvious that the sword technique was exquisite and cruel, and it was all killed with one knife.

The young man raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the long knife dripping blood in her hand. After a moment, he looked at her with a smile, "So fierce?"

The next moment, the girl suddenly rushed over and threw herself into his arms, holding her hands tightly around his waist, and burying her face in his arms.

The Jiyang City Army, who was on the shore behind him, was stunned.

Xiao Jue's body stiffened and his eyes were slightly annoyed: "You..."

The next moment, he closed his mouth just because he felt that the body in his arms was trembling violently. She jumped into the water before and was almost suffocated to death by herself. Her inner clothes were already wet and her armor was heavy. She looked particularly cold when she put them on the girl, making her look particularly fragile.

Xiao Jue endured it and endured it, and finally couldn't help it and pulled her face out of his arms.

"What are you doing? I'm not dead yet." He sneered.
