Chapter 083 – Torrential Rain And Sword! (1/2)
083 – Torrential rain and sword!
A breathtaking scene
The fish and crabs in the river seemed to have grudges against the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p. They unrelentingly and crazily rammed against the hull of the s.h.i.+p.
Firstly, one by one, they pounced over, using their head or body to launch suicide attacks.
Using their heads to collide, their skulls cracked and blood gushed out.
Using their bodies, their bones smashed to pieces.
Several fishes knocked unconscious from the impact were instantly engulfed by the river waves.
PA—
PA—
PA—
——
At that time, they were not quite organised nor experienced the sounds were still disordered and chaotic.
As more and more fish and crabs died, an even more overwhelming number of fish and crabs rushed over.
When a succession of waves rolled in, it seemed like the river itself was boiling.
They formed a tall wall, formed a gigantic wave.
They grouped into a colorful gigantic long line to knock against the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p.
Bang—-
Bang—-
Bang—-
——
Now that they had gained experienced from cras.h.i.+ng into the s.h.i.+p, the sound became orderly and grand.
They displayed a kind of drive to fight until they die.
Bang—-
Millions united.
Bang—-
Ear-splitting sound.
Bang—-
Vibrations shuddered throughout the air.
———
Over and over again. The s.h.i.+p was still not destroyed, though the collisions never once stopped.
Rain bucketed down, getting heavier every second. The entire river was clouded by raining arrows.
The s.h.i.+p jolted up and down the great river, looking like it could be destroyed and the pa.s.sengers would drown at any time.
The scholars and travelers on board were terrified, a number of people breaking and crying from terror.
“Oh heavens, these fish and crabs are here to eat us—–I don't want to die, I don't want to die—-”
“The wrath of heaven, this must be the wrath of heaven—–they just killed that gigantic dragon moments ago and now we're going to be punished——”
“That drake must have gained intelligence, these fish and crabs are his people—-they want to avenge him —–”
——
That fear spread rapidly, the sounds of screaming and wailing rose and fell in succession forming into one gigantic clamour.
At this time, Cui Zhaoren had no mood to discipline what was said around him.
His eyes never stopped staring at Li Muyang suspended in the air, now that the rain became too heavy and the black clouds were too dense, even with his eyes he could only see a vague fuzzy shadow high up in the sky.
It's also precisely because he only saw an outline that made him felt increasingly anxious.
Things he could clearly see he knows where to draw the line, it is those that he could not see that are unfathomable and impossible to predict.
When he first saw Li Muyang, nothing seemed to be special about him.
Among the many scholars, the Jia county's Zhang Linpu looked much more outstanding. 在
It was only when the lord of Jiangnan City, Yan Bolai, personally came to see him off and he heard people yelling Li Muyang to wait while he was already on the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p, that made him a bit curious about this guy.
Recently, he has been working at the frontier region, far away from the bustling Tiandu. He was unaware of the announcement of the exam results and Li Muyang being praised by Yan Xiangma as 'Jiangnan's Famous Colt', he also does not know that Li Muyang has been enrolled into the 'diploma mill' Starry Sky Academy.
However, from Yan Bolai and Li Muyang's conversation, he's clear that this uncle does not like Li Muyang—–If he really did like Li Muyang, he would not rush over to see him off at that time.
The people who are close to you and the ones you like, the more you want to make them understand the importance of acting low-key. Only with a low profile you would be able to live safely for longer.
If the lord of Jiangnan city dislikes someone, he could easily kill them and be done with. Or perhaps command his men to stuff them into a sack to be thrown into the river or into the forest of beasts are also good choices. Is there a need to bring trouble to himself and make himself unhappy?
Cui Zhaoren has been entrusted with an important task, he also shouldn't bring more trouble to himself. But at the same time he thought that, if given the chance, he might as well help uncle settle this matter.
After all, this time the only reason he was able to forgo using the military vessel and bring the criminal to Jiangnan on horse, then set out to Tiandu via the s.h.i.+p at Maple Forest Crossing, was all thanks to the help from the lord of Jiangnan city. Since he owes him a great debt, then he should do him a small favour.
Perhaps even Cui Zhaoren is not aware himself, his heart had already listed the insignificant Li Muyang as an object that should be killed.
Later, theft happened on the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p, Li Muyang closely followed behind the scholars demanding to go upstairs and search, he also brought up Yan Xiangma's and Yan Bolai's names, which made Cui Zhaoren furious——He felt as if his family clan was being humiliated.
A beautiful flower – how could it be linked to a piece of s.h.i.+t?
