You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!

Chapter 167: The storm across the river

Chapter 167 The storm across the river

The exile team soon arrived at the crossing of the Changhe River. As long as they crossed this big river, they would reach the southern boundary.

Therefore, everyone is extremely looking forward to it. The environment in the south will not be so harsh, and more food can be found in the wild.

You need to take a boat to cross the river, but there is no such big boat that can accommodate so many people.

Therefore, they had to divide the group into batches, first let the Yamen lead a group of people across the river, and then pick up the others.

Otherwise, who knows if any prisoners will take the opportunity to escape.

So, the first person to go must choose well.

Xu Tian planned to let Chen Xue and his family cross the river first, but as soon as he said this, Zhang Yiquan jumped out immediately.

Why!

Everyone commented, why should the Chen family be able to cross the river first? There are so many of us, including old people and children. Their family is neither old nor young. Why!

"this"

After experiencing various things, everyone is no longer jealous of the Chen family. After all, everyone knows that the Chen family has an immortal disciple, and they will not offend him if they can.

So, after Zhang Yiquan jumped out, he wanted to pull others with him, but in the end, no one responded to him.

This made him very embarrassed.

However, in fact, although everyone did not stand up, they were actually a little dissatisfied with letting the Chen family go there first.

Therefore, Mr. Chen just let the others go first. Anyway, they would be earlier or later.

And its better to go later. If they leave first, it will be difficult to deal with the things in their carriage. After all, most of the things are actually in space.

It is morning, when there are the most people coming and going, so the boats are almost full, and there are not many boats available.

Even if there is, many people choose not to accept it. After all, prisoners are unlucky.

Xu Tian and others spent a lot of money to find a few boats, and then they picked up people one after another.

However, there is another boat on the shore. It neither picks up guests nor prisoners. Instead, it stops on the shore and does not move.

However, when he saw Chen Xue's family, the boatman wearing a bamboo hat quickly ran over.

Mr. Chen, this way!

I was sent by Mr. Tan to **** Mr. Chen across the river.

Chen Xue frowned. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Several people followed the boatman to the small boat on the shore. This boat was about the same size as other people's boats.

The ship sent by Mr. Tan is just that big?

Chen Xue and others looked at each other in disbelief.

However, I thought that Mr. Tan seemed to be the county magistrate and had a high official position, but he did not have so much money to charter a big ship.

Mr. Chen, the boat is small, so we can only divide it into batches...

Hearing what the boatman said, Mr. Chen estimated that it could only seat six or seven people. Their family, including Xiaodie, already had four people.

That is water, and there can be up to two.

Master Chen, let us two brothers follow you!

A bodyguard stood up. They were sent by Xie Yunshang to protect Mr. Chen and his family. Naturally, they had to stay close at hand.

"OK!"

With two guards following us, safety is more or less guaranteed.

Then he looked at Chen Xiaohua's family, as well as the other guards and villains, "Just wait for the second trip!"

Sir, let me go up and check first!

The guard who spoke just now saluted Mr. Chen with clasped fists and planned to go up first to check whether the ship was safe. He was obviously very responsible.

I was sent by Mr. Tan, how could I harm Mr. Chen?

When the boatman heard this, he immediately became angry.

"There are so many of you, and I am only one person, how can I harm you." After saying that, the boatman rushed to the cabin, opened the curtain, and revealed the situation inside. "You can see clearly, there is no ambush inside."

Seeing the boatman's determined expression that if you don't believe me again, I will die in front of you, Mr. Chen had no choice but to give up the inspection.

The boatman is also on the boat. If something happens, he can't run away. After all, there is water all around.

A few people quickly got on the boat, and the boatman rowed towards the center of the river, with a cold smile on his face under the hat.

Chen Xue and others were sitting in the small cabin, looking around.

From the outside, the boat looks better than others, but when you get in, you can find that the boat is even worse than imagined.

There are patches of wooden boards everywhere in the cabin, and you can even see behind these wooden boards, and you can vaguely see water seeping in.

Fortunately, there was a pile of hay spread in the cabin so that their clothes and shoes would not get wet.

Just when the boat was moving, Chen Xue was a little afraid that the boat would fall apart when she heard the creaking sound.

Shen Dan held the knife and stared at the boatman.

With many years of battlefield intuition, he was 100% sure that there was something wrong with this boatman.

But in the final analysis, it was just a feeling. He had no evidence, so he chose to target the boatman and nip the danger in the bud whenever he made any change.

His younger brother Shen Qing was protecting Mr. Chen and his family in the cabin.

Their brothers' names were taken from "Pingyuan Hou", who left a picture to illuminate the history. They were given by Pingyuan Hou as Xie Yunshang's personal bodyguards.

Finally, Xie Yunshang asked him to protect Lord Chen, so they would do their best to protect the general.

Soon, the boat reached the middle of the river.

Shen Dan subconsciously put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. This position was the most dangerous. If something happened, the people on the shore would not have time to rush to help.

The boatman glanced at Shen Dan, but had no reaction and continued to hold the boat leisurely.

Soon, the boat left the middle of the river and sailed towards the other side of the river.

Shen Dan breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this time, the ship suddenly shook, as if it hit something or encountered an undercurrent.

Shen Dan was a little unsteady because of this, but at this moment he heard exclamations coming from inside, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Mr. Chen, are you okay?

The boatman also shouted urgently and rushed into the cabin, seeming to be worried about Mr. Chen.

Shen Dan quickly stabilized his body and then chased after him.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Shen Dan felt a chill under his feet. When he looked down, he found that the cabin was full of water.

Oops!

Shen Dan's heart sank and he stepped forward quickly.

Then he found that his younger brother was protecting Mr. Chen and confronting the boatman. It was obvious that the boatman had evil intentions.

"snort!"

The boatman snorted coldly, and without any nonsense, he took out the fire stick and threw it on the hay in the cabin, then turned around and jumped off the stern of the boat.

But the cabin instantly burst into flames.

Damn it!

Shen Dan cursed secretly and yelled to his younger brother, "Shen Qing, what are you still doing? Protect Mr. Chen and leave."

He himself took off his clothes, soaked them in the cabin and started to put out the fire.

Shen Qing protected Chen Xue and others to the bow of the boat. Looking at the vast river, Shen Qing's face darkened.

He was alone and there was no way he could swim to the other side with Chen Xue and four others.

No, theres no way to put it out!

Shen Dan rushed out of the cabin in disgrace, "And that **** is still digging at the bottom of the boat under the water. The boat is about to sink."

Behind him is the burning cabin, and in front of him is the vast river.

The faces of several people were very ugly.

"boom!"

At this time, another thing was thrown into the boat.

Its not good, its because Im drugged, so Im holding my breath!

Shen Dan quickly reminded that Xin was sinking to the bottom. Although there was only one enemy, he was fully prepared.

Although they held their breath in time, they still inhaled a lot, and they could feel weakness in their arms and legs in an instant.

In this fire boat, if you lose your strength, you will either be burned to death or drowned.

You are dead! The boatman under the water sneered.
