Chapter 167: Counterattack
"Oh no, something happened!"
People on the shore also saw Chen Xue's boat catch fire and begin to sink.
The guards and other servants suddenly panicked. Those who could swim immediately jumped into the river and swam towards Chen Xue and others.
Those who couldn't swim immediately shouted and guided others to rescue Chen Xue and the others.
The guards immediately rushed to other boats on the shore and asked them to row over to rescue people.
"Haha, retribution!"
Zhang Yiquan on the shore saw this scene and couldn't help but gloat over it.
On the boat, Shen Dan used his knife to support himself on the boat and tried to stand up, but he couldn't muster any strength.
"Master Chen, I'm sorry, it's my brother and I who are incompetent!"
Chen Dan said with an apologetic look on his face that they were not careful enough after all and had been tricked by the enemy. Now not only could they not save their own lives, but they also betrayed the general's trust and failed to protect Lord Chen.
"I'll go into the water and hold that person up. Shen Qing, you protect Master Chen and the others."
Chen Dan didn't want to sit and wait for death. Even if he couldn't save everyone, he would save as many people as he could.
Anyway, as long as he is still alive, he will do his best to protect Lord Chen.
Bang!
However, just as he was about to stand up, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Instead, he picked up the knife and cut himself. A wound appeared instantly, and the intense pain gave him a little more strength.
But it's just a little more.
"Lord Chen!" Shen Qing saw this scene and wanted to go over to help, but finally stopped, turned around to dismantle the wooden boards of the cabin, and looked at Chen Xue and others.
"Master Chen, everyone lie down on the wooden planks and try not to struggle violently..."
In fact, Shen Qing also inhaled the drug, but he bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake, and relied on his willpower to resist the effects of the drug.
"what to do?"
Mother Chen looked at her husband and daughter. She had never expected such a thing to happen.
Chen Xue and her father looked at each other. Neither of them could swim. The other side of the river was at least 20 to 30 meters away. With such a long distance, and the fact that they had inhaled the drug, it was impossible for them to swim to the other side.
So, if you want to survive, there is only one way.
But the point is, there are other people here.
Unless they are cruel enough.
But Chen Dan and the others were in such a state, and they were still thinking about them. How could they be such heartless people?
"Master Chen, I'll say jump later..."
Before Shen Qing could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lord Chen.
"No!"
“!!!”
Shen Qing was full of doubts. What was no longer needed?
"Before leaving, I must take revenge first!"
Chen Xue looked at the boatman hiding in the water, snorted coldly, and took out several crossbows from the space. She first handed them to her parents and Xiaodie, and then handed one to each of the Chen Dan brothers.
Chen Dan and the other man were stunned for a moment when they saw the crossbow that was suddenly handed to them, but they didn't ask any more questions.
They had seen Chen Xue's magical methods before.
There were six people, and each of them chose a direction to attack.
"puff!"
The boatman hiding in the water was startled when he saw a crossbow arrow suddenly shot out beside him.
Where did this thing come from?
But soon, crossbows appeared from all directions, scaring the boatman to death and he quickly dived deeper.
But he was still hit by the crossbow arrow, and blood oozed from his arm.
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, drilling deeper, feeling somewhat relieved that someone had slowed down the force.
Chen Xue and the others looked at the blood oozing out of the water, and their anger immediately subsided.
Seeing that half of the boat was already submerged in water, even though the fire was out, they had no place to stand.
Chen Xue turned to Shen Dan and said, "Close your eyes."
Master Chen also said with a serious expression, "No one is allowed to open their eyes without my order, understand?"
Although he lost his official position, his official authority remained.
Although Shen Dan and the others were confused, they had to obey the order and close their eyes.
After seeing them close their eyes, Chen Xue sent everyone into the space.
Seeing that more than half of the boat had sunk into the water, the boatman emerged from the water and sneered, "The Chen family is doomed..."
Before he could utter a word, the boatman stared at the boat on the water with wide eyes.
"Where are the people?"
The bow of the boat that had been lifted up was empty, and no one knew where the Chen family had gone.
"Damn it!"
He didn't believe that the Chen family members were burned to death. There were six or seven people on the boat. Even if they were burned, it was impossible for them to all be burned to death. Besides, they were not fools. How could they not jump into the river when their bodies were on fire?
Besides, I was in the river and didn’t see anyone go into the water.
That's strange!
It’s impossible that this group of people just spread their wings and flew away!
Could it be that they shot arrows just now to cover their escape?
But I didn’t see any other ships approaching!
“There, there!”
At this time, other guards of the Chen family had already rowed over.
The boatman's heart skipped a beat when he saw this and he tried to turn around and swim away, but the pain in his arm nearly made him drown.
His eyes flickered, and he finally chose not to dodge, but instead asked for help.
After the Chen family guards approached, they did rescue him onto the boat.
The boatman was secretly delighted, thinking that once he got ashore, he would have a chance to escape.
However, as soon as he had this thought, he felt a pain in his arm.
When he looked up, he saw Chen family guards holding his arms behind his back.
"What are you doing?" the boatman asked, enduring the pain.
"Where are Master Chen and the others?"
The Chen family guard said sternly that the boat was not big, so it was obvious that there was no one on board.
"I don't know, I don't know anything!"
The boatman pretended to be confused, but was slapped on the back of the head by the Chen family guard.
"Bullshit! The crossbow arrow on your arm was shot by Lord Chen and his men. They are obviously enemies."
Although the boatman broke the crossbow arrow, a part of it remained in his arm.
These guards had used the Chen family's crossbows before, so they knew very well that only the Chen family would use such bamboo arrows.
The boatman's heart sank suddenly. He didn't expect that he would be exposed in the end.
It seems that God has destined not to let him live.
Thinking of this, he sneered and decisively bit the poison hidden behind his teeth.
Seeing the boatman spitting out black blood, the Chen family guards understood that this was a deadly warrior.
"hateful!"
"Those who can swim, hurry up and go look for Master Chen and the others!"
………
The other side.
Chen Dan and the other man only felt their bodies shake, but they didn't think much about it. After all, they were on a boat, which was very shaking, and they were also under the effect of the drug.
However, the two of them still felt that the surrounding environment seemed a little different. It was not as humid, or in other words, it was very quiet.
No, it's not very quiet either, there is no sound of splashing water or human voices.
Instead, I feel like there are more animal sounds around.
However, without Lord Chen's order, they could not open their eyes to look.
But it didn't take long.
In the end, they couldn't resist the effects of the drug and fell asleep.
But when he fainted, Shen Dan still caught a glimpse of the surrounding environment from the corner of his eyes.
It was pitch black all around.
But I can't see anything.
This made Chen Dan even more confused. What kind of place was this?
How come they are here?
