Chapter 500: Making a fool of yourself
Nan Xingkuang ignored Xuanyuan Lie's muttering.
He ordered a soldier to bring an incense burner and place it on the shore. He lit a stick of incense and said, "Second Prince, please watch carefully. The time limit is the time of one stick of incense. During this period, you can catch them all, and I will Spare them, but if you can’t catch them, it’s none of my business.”
"Okay, I'll fight, come on!" Xuanyuan Lie said through gritted teeth.
Nan Xingkuang waved his big hand and gave an order, and several Ouchi guards were immediately kicked into the water by the soldiers.
Because they were tied up, when they fell into the water, they were like fishes. They could only twist with their bodies to barely keep themselves from sinking into the water.
Xuanyuan Lie stood on the shore, looking extremely anxious, and quickly swung the fishing rod in his hand to catch them.
Yan Xishan and Guo Huai were also busy helping.
The three of them worked hard for a while, and finally the fishhook caught an Ouchi guard, and then the three of them tried their best to pull it up. However, since they had never fished before, they had no idea that if they wanted to land the fish when fishing, they could not use it. With brute force, you can only use clever strength to slowly drag the fish to the shore while sliding through the water.
In this way, under the force of three people.
"Crack!"
Not long after, the hemp rope on the fishing rod was snapped by them.
The Ouchi guard who had just been pulled to the shore suddenly sank into the water. After taking a few sips of water, he twisted and swam up again.
Xuanyuan Lie and the other three fell backwards and hit the ground, grimacing in pain.
"Hahaha..."
Everyone standing on the shore was laughing.
Bai Jingtian couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to rush to help, but Gu Chan quickly stretched out her hand to grab him, shook her head at him and said, "Don't go there."
"But if I don't help, all of them will drown." Bai Jingtian said urgently.
"You have to understand that a good bird chooses the right tree to rest. Since these people have chosen the Second Prince as their master, they should bear the consequences that their master will bring to them. I am not going to kill them today, but just to let their master personally Take action to save them, but if their master himself is not capable of saving them, then who can they expect?" Gu Chan said with a cold face.
Bai Jingtian held on to his fists tightly and stared at Gu Chan, refusing to take another step forward.
He understood that what Gu Chan said made sense. This was the way the world was. If you chose the right master, you would be able to achieve great success. It was just a matter of time. But if you chose the wrong master, you would have the tragic end of losing your life in vain.
In the battle last night, it was obvious that Xuanyuan Lie and the others made a mistake in judgment, which led to today's consequences.
If Xuanyuan Lie can't rescue these imperial guards in such a simple situation now, then he is not qualified as a master at all!
After thinking about this, Bai Jingtian finally turned around and turned his back to the several Ouchi guards swimming desperately on the surface of the river.
At this moment, there were tears in his eyes. With his strength, it was easy to save these people, but he couldn't. This was the most painful thing for him.
As for Xuanyuan Lie and the others.
After the hemp rope on the fishing rod was broken, they all looked panicked and stood at the shore at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Nan Xingkuang stood not far away and couldn't stand it any longer. He shouted quickly, "Come here, give the Second Prince and the others a new fishing rod." "Yes, General." A soldier responded, and quickly put a new fishing rod in his hand. A new fishing rod was delivered.
After Xuanyuan Lie got the second fishing rod, he swung it as hard as before and hooked a big guard. He didn't learn the lesson from the first time, so he called Yan Xishan and Guo Huai to pull him hard. .
Not surprisingly, the hemp rope on the second fishing rod was quickly broken by them.
This time Nan Xingkuang did not choose to help them anymore, but just urged, "Second Prince, the stick of incense is almost finished burning. You have to speed up, otherwise they will be sinking before the incense is finished burning." Into the water.”
"General, the rope is broken again, can you give me another fishing rod?" Xuanyuan Lie said anxiously.
"No more. I only prepared two fishing rods. You can think of a way on your own!" Nan Xing shook his head wildly and said.
Xuanyuan Lie shouted angrily at Yan Xishan and Guo Huai, "You guys think of a way! Hurry up!"
"Master, the hemp ropes on the two fishing rods are broken, and the fishhook is also hooked on the two guards. We have no hooks!" Yan Xishan spread his hands and said.
"How can we catch them without a hook? It's over now." Guo Huai said anxiously, stamping his feet.
Gu Chan said coldly, "You two pigheads, tie two broken hemp ropes to one fishing rod, then tie the hemp rope to one person, and let him go into the water to fish for others. Yes, the general said just catch them, but he didn’t say that you must use fish hooks to catch them.”
"Yes, yes, Yan Xishan, you go into the water to fish. Mr. Guo and I will pull you with a fishing rod on the shore." Xuanyuan Lie's eyes lit up and he said.
"Ah? Master, I...I am not good at water!" Yan Xishan said with a pale face.
Guo Huai didn't care about him. He had already untied the broken hemp rope from the other fishing rod, connected it to the hemp rope of the fishing rod in Xuanyuan Lie's hand, and then connected the connected hemp rope. One end was tied to Yan Xishan's back belt.
"Master, I...I really can't do it...the water is too deep...I..." Yan Xishan waved his hands and backed away, not daring to go down at all.
Xuanyuan Lie angrily raised his foot, kicked him in the stomach, and cursed angrily, "You bastard, get off here!"
"Poof!"
Yan Xishan was immediately kicked into the water by Xuanyuan Lie.
Xuanyuan Lie and Guo Huai were holding the fishing rod on the shore and pulling him to prevent him from sinking into the water.
However, after Yan Xishan got into the water, he could only flop around in the water like a duck that couldn't swim. Where could he catch people?
Xuanyuan Lie angrily cursed, "You useless thing, don't you usually show off your skills in front of me and say how powerful you are? Now I ask you to go into the water to fish for someone, and you can't even fish it out. How dare you brag about how powerful you are?" It’s amazing! What do I need you for?”
"Master...Gulu...I...I really don't have good water...Gulu..." Yan Xishan shouted while splashing, and the water gurgled straight into his mouth.
Even if Xuanyuan Lie and Guo Huai were pulling him with fishing rods on the shore, they couldn't stop his sinking trend at all.
Over the years, he has eaten so much in the Jiangnan area that he has gained a lot of fat and a big belly. He has worked very hard just to keep himself from sinking. He wants to win over these imperial guards. Get up, that is completely impossible!
