Chapter 1081 Come and fight me to the death!
The bulging sails slowly drooped, and their ship's speed also slowed down.
Naturally, the large ships following closely behind them also slowed down.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
Ye Zheng couldn't even believe his eyes.
When he arranged the boat to the east of the city, he had already inquired in advance that the southeast wind would blow all day. He originally wanted to take advantage of the wind and get to his destination as quickly as possible by boat. Of course, all the changes that happened afterwards were beyond his expectations.
When they encountered the Haisha Gang and their large ships, the waterway they had chosen became a disadvantage.
But what was even more unexpected was that the wind stopped!
Gradually, their ship and the ship chasing them slowed down.
At this moment, Ye Zheng's mind flashed with lightning, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Go rowing, go rowing, full speed ahead!"
Before, they relied more on wind power when sailing because of favorable winds and favorable currents, but now, without wind power, they have to rely on themselves.
Although their boats were not big, there were few people on board and they were very flexible, able to sail across the river. The large boats sent by the Haisha Gang were naturally incredibly fast when there was wind, but now that the wind had stopped, the huge boats needed greater power to drive, which made it even more difficult for them.
In other words, now is the time to compete in manpower.
At Ye Zheng's command, everyone understood and immediately rushed to row the boat.
Suddenly, their boat moved forward rapidly.
The people from the Haisha Gang behind them had obviously reacted and immediately dispatched people to row the boat.
At this time, the flexibility advantage of the small boat is fully demonstrated.
But rowing entirely by human power is very tiring.
In addition, this group of people had fought hard to break out of the siege in Changqing City and were very tired. After about a meal's time, everyone felt exhausted.
The boat slowed down.
Although the large ship of the Haisha Gang behind them also had difficulty moving forward, they had more people and their strength was evident at this time.
They watched as the big ships gradually approached them again.
This time, everyone was almost in despair.
But Ye Zheng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't be discouraged, keep rowing!"
But people are already exhausted, and no matter how inspiring the encouragement is, it will be useless.
Everyone's face showed dejection and even despair.
There's no escape.
This sentiment gradually spread.
Some even whispered, "If we keep sliding like this, when will it end? We might as well surrender. Maybe we can save our lives."
But Ye Zheng still refused to give up and pointed ahead and said, "That's the head!"
What? !
Everyone was startled and immediately looked forward.
The fog on the river surface is particularly heavy today, and the fog in front is particularly shockingly heavy. It has even spread from the river surface to the land, covering the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see anything.
Is there anything in that place?
Everyone was confused and was about to ask again when Ye Zheng shouted, "Listen, if you want to survive, use all your strength to row the boat. If we reach that place, we can live. If we don't, we will die!"
This sentence means either life or death.
Of course, everyone understood the situation at the moment, so they just gave it a try and rowed as hard as they could.
Their ship once again rode the wind and waves and flew forward.
At this time, Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
Why was Ye Zheng so sure that he could be rescued if he reached the area with the heaviest mist? What was there?
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, loud noises came from the water mist in front.
Like a loud thunder, it roared through the sky.
Suddenly, the entire river surface was shaken by the deafening noise.
That is——
Everyone's heart trembled, but Nan Yan couldn't wait to open her eyes wide, walked quickly to the bow of the boat, and looked forward.
As thunder rumbled, the mist gradually dissipated, and a huge team appeared on the river bank.
As thunder roared and wind whistled, the team's flag fluttered in the wind.
It’s a dragon flag!
That is the emperor's carriage!
Nan Yan immediately understood.
Zhu Feng originally came to Changqing City in a fully equipped imperial carriage, but this time he appeared on the beach, obviously he had left the imperial carriage and set out on the road alone.
Afterwards, Qin Ruolan and Ye Zheng appeared one after another, obviously coming here to find him.
But there was one person who never showed up.
It's the queen.
Queen Xu Miaoyin, who accompanied the emperor on his travels, never showed up.
So now it was her who appeared on the river bank at the most critical moment.
That’s great, that’s great!
At this moment, Nan Yan's heart was filled with joy and excitement, almost as if she had just begged God.
"emperor!"
With tears in her eyes, she turned to look at Zhu Feng with great joy.
Although there was still a smell of blood in her throat, she couldn't care less at this moment. She was so excited that her whole body was shaking. Seeing her staggering, Zhu Feng hugged her tightly in his arms.
At this moment, even someone as calm as him could reveal a hint of joy in his eyes.
After all, I escaped death.
No matter how many dangers you have experienced on the battlefield, how many times you have escaped death, even if you have become numb, being able to survive is the most fortunate thing.
At this moment, the large ships that were following closely behind them slowly stopped.
The situation on the river bank frightened them.
Although there were quite a few of them, their number was not much more than the number of people who came with the imperial carriage this time. In addition, the imperial carriage's appearance was so imposing that it frightened them all at once. Although the Haisha Gang was fierce, they were just some gangsters after all, and at this time, they showed fear.
The leader hesitated for a moment, then finally gave up, turned the boat around and retreated.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Only then did Ye Zheng burst into laughter. He walked to the bow and shouted to the departing ships, "Come on, fight me to the death!"
"Humph, run away!"
"How dare you come after me? When I was roaming the world and sweeping away thousands of enemies, you were still..."
He was halfway through his words when he caught sight of Zhu Feng looking at him sullenly, and immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
A little too proud of oneself.
However, just as he shut up, a cheerful voice sounded from the side.
“Fly!”
Everyone was still wondering who was shouting so loudly in the emperor's face. When they turned around, they saw Princess Xinping in Ran Xiaoyu's arms. They had not had time to enter the cabin, but when they heard the loud roar on the river bank that shocked all directions, Princess Xinping's cheeks turned red with excitement, and she jumped desperately in Ran Xiaoyu's arms.
"Fei Fei, fly!"
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng finally couldn't help but smile.
When he smiled, everyone on the boat cheered loudly!
