Chapter 611 An Army of One Person

The painted boat was already small, and five people could barely squeeze in, and none of them could move.

None of them had any weapons in their hands, so they could only hide and dodge.

The skinny monkey pressed Zhou Chang tightly under him, while Zhou Chang only thought of Yuan Qi.

"Ah!" But it was too late.

When he looked up again, he saw that Liu E had also used her body to protect Yuan Qi and was shot in the back.

"Liu E..." Yuan Qi hugged the falling Liu E.

At this time, the black-covered boat arrived.

Yuan Liang threw the oar to the skinny monkey, drew the sword from his waist, and jumped onto the black-sailed boat to intercept the pirates.

The two sampans brought by Gao Yuan also caught up.

The soldiers and the pirates were fighting each other. Zhou Chang knew neither martial arts nor swimming, so he could do nothing. He could only hold on to the violently shaking boat and stand in front of Yuan Qi and Liu E.

The skinny monkey took the oar and wanted to row the boat, but the wind on the river was too strong, so he could only let the boat drift with the current.

This way, they were further away from the black-clad bandits, but at the same time, they were also further away from Gao Yuan.

"Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan..." The person Zhou Chang can rely on most now is Gao Yuan. He saw Yuan Liang fall into the water together with the black-clad bandits during the fight on the other side.

Gao Yuan fought with one hand, not forgetting to take Zhou Chang into consideration. He quickly knocked down the two bandits and ordered the soldiers rowing the sampan to chase after them.

As soon as they caught up with the pleasure boat, Gao Yuan wanted to pull Zhou Chang onto the sampan first.

After all, even if it was a sampan, it was a government sampan, much larger than an ordinary boat, and could carry at least a dozen people at a time.

Gao Yuan obviously hadn't realized that Liu E was seriously injured.

Zhou Chang pointed sideways and said, "Save Liu E first. She was shot by an arrow just now."

Gao Yuan's face, which had been paralyzed for years, turned pale.

While the skinny monkey was busy stabilizing the boat, Zhou Chang and Yuan Qi helped Liu E onto the sampan.

Just as Liu E was about to get on the sampan from the painted boat, enduring the arrow wound on her shoulder, the stern of the sampan was violently hit by the waning boat that had caught up with her, and Liu E fell into the water.

Gao Yuan dived down without thinking.

Zhou Chang and Shouhou were about to reach out to rescue him again, but suddenly another black-clad bandit jumped out from under the dark water.

"Ah..." Yuan Qi screamed in fright.

Zhou Chang turned around and pulled Yuan Qi to his side, while the skinny monkey used the oar as a weapon to attack.

As they struggled up and down, a gust of river wind swirled in, causing the pleasure boat to spin violently, and several people were thrown to the ground.

"Hold on, don't let go." In panic, he instinctively stuck to the bottom of the boat.

Zhou Chang only felt that Yuan Qi grabbed his hand, and she seemed to have grabbed the skinny monkey in her wild grabbing.

Turning, turning non-stop, the world is spinning.

The painted boat is like a reed falling into a turbulent river.

The only sound in my ears was the whistling wind.

I don't know how long it turned, until the human voices and the moon shadow disappeared, and then the painted boat slowly slowed down.

When Zhou Chang was able to lift his head, he felt that the world had quieted down: "What's going on?"

"It should be the whirlpool in the middle of the river." Yuan Qi's voice was right next to my ear.

"Monkey, monkey..." When Zhou Chang heard Yuan Qi's voice, he knew that everything was fine, and went to look for the skinny monkey again.

The voice of the skinny monkey came from behind: "My Lord, I am still here."

When Zhou Chang heard the skinny monkey's voice, he felt relieved, but immediately felt dizzy.

Although the painted boat stopped spinning, it was drifting rapidly in a certain direction.

"Where are we?" Zhou Chang looked around for the direction of the dock, but the wind, waves and whirlpools had obviously pushed the pleasure boat too far away, and the river bank was nowhere to be seen.

The skinny monkey had already climbed up from the boat and was looking for an oar, but he suddenly cried out, "Oh no! Your Majesty, look! Is there another boat chasing us?"

Zhou Chang was busy looking for the northern pier, but he never expected that there were black-sailed boats following him. He looked closely and gritted his teeth: "These people are really persistent."

"Who are they?" Yuan Qi managed to sit up with the help of the boatman.

"I don't know." Zhou Chang and Shouhou answered almost in unison.

The skinny monkey paddled desperately with the oar in his hand: "My Lord, what should I do? This boat can't be rowed fast enough."

Zhou Chang was also anxious. The river was pitch black, and there was no one else except the bright moon in the sky.

At this time, it is still unknown what will happen to Gao Yuan and Liu E after falling into the water.

However, the three of them did not know any martial arts and had no weapons, so it would be difficult for them to deal with the black-sailed boats if they caught up with them.

"It's heading in the wrong direction. It shouldn't be able to catch up with us." Yuan Qi suddenly stared at the direction of the wupeng boat and made a conclusion.

"Oh, really?" Zhou Chang felt relieved.

The skinny monkey pointed at the river and shouted, "Ah, it looks like someone is swimming over there..."

Zhou Chang's heart was in his throat again, and he looked hard in the direction of the skinny monkey's finger.

Sure enough, a black-clad pirate was swimming towards this side, holding on to a piece of wood.

"He must have fallen into the water and drifted downstream. If he is alone, the three of us should be able to deal with him." Zhou Chang said this, but he was still unsure in his heart.

After all, those pirates are both skilled in martial arts and familiar with water.

Yuan Qi also looked nervous, staring at the river: "I'm afraid he's not the only one..."

The skinny monkey put more strength into his hands, just wanting to make the boat go faster and get rid of the bandits.

Zhou Chang and Yuan Qi Ze were no longer talking, their focus was solely on the movement of the river.

After a while, the black-clad bandit in the river suddenly sank into the water and disappeared from sight.

"Be careful, he might sneak over here." Yuan Qi reminded.

Zhou Chang immediately became nervous.

Sure enough, after a while, the black-clad bandit appeared on the river again, only a few feet away from their pleasure boat.

"Your Highness, hold the oars." The bandits were getting closer and closer, so the skinny monkey started to grab things out of his arms.

He first took out a spoon and threw it over, but missed.

Next came combs, hemp ropes, bones, and various foods that had been soaked in water.

If you miss once, you'll get it twice. If you miss twice, you'll get it three times...

It seemed like there were endless things in the skinny monkey's arms.

Zhou Chang was ashamed that he could still swim in the water for so long with so many things on his body.

"Bang..."

Finally, a salt shaker was thrown over and hit the black-clad bandit right on the forehead.

The black-clad pirate rolled over, loosened his hands of the wooden board, and disappeared on the surface of the river.

The three people in the painted boat breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Monkey, you are an army by yourself." Zhou Chang then realized that his whole body was wet and cold, and he collapsed limply.

The skinny monkey came up and helped Zhou Chang sit down, not forgetting to show his eight big white teeth: "Your Highness, I hope you don't mind that the things I carry are useless this time."

"No problem, no problem..." Although Zhou Chang was trembling all over, he was finally able to take a deep breath.

Just as he said this, Yuan Qi realized something was wrong: "Oh no, the boat is taking on water."

Zhou Chang looked down and realized that there was water all over her feet, and her feet had already been frozen and numb in the water.

This is like when it rains and when it pours.

The three of them were silent and dumbfounded.

Apart from the stars and the moon in the sky, there was pitch darkness all around. The river was roaring, the wind was strong and the waves were rough, so that one couldn't even see where the shore was.
