Chapter 270 Raging Tide

Downstream of the Lujiang River, there was also heavy rain.

In a river bend, the water was relatively calm, and the fleet led by the Black Dragon was temporarily stationed here.

Bu Yuntian stood on his own ship, looking at the cloudy sky, and his mood was a bit complicated.

The fleet had just set sail and encountered such weather. It should be considered a bad start, but such a bad start happened to allow him to temporarily avoid a direct battle with the Xiang family. It must be said that this was a blessing in disguise.

Bu Yuntian did hope that this heavy rain could last a little longer. If it dragged on long enough, when the reinforcements sent by the third prince arrived, everything would be settled, and maybe there would be no need to fight the Xiang family head-on. In this way, the strength of the Bu family could be preserved...

But at the same time, he was worried that if the third prince's side was strong, would his side be in danger? Even if the Third Prince didn't care about the Bu family's betrayal, that cousin would definitely be doomed, but he was still cursed by him. If he met with any misfortune, he would definitely be in big trouble...

Thinking of this, Bu Yuntian couldn't help but feel more and more worried.

"Report, Young... Patriarch!"

An attendant came in. He was the captain of the ship. He hadn't had time to get used to Bu Yuntian's change of identity, so he made a mistake in addressing him and quickly changed his words.

"What's the matter?" Bu Yuntian asked.

The captain replied: "Our anchor is already tight. If the water level continues to rise, it is very likely that we will be unmoored. I don't think the rain will stop for a while, and the water level will definitely continue to rise. There may be a flood peak. For now, we can only retreat to the lake downstream to temporarily avoid the water! After all, our ships are not as big as the Black Dragon!"

Bu Yuntian looked not far away. In the heavy rain, the Black Dragon was like a thousand-year-old turtle.

After a moment of silence, he said: "Come with me and tell them about our situation!"

So the captain sent a request to the Black Dragon through the flag. Soon, the Black Dragon lowered a boat, and then the sailors pulled the two people onto the Black Dragon with ropes.

Bu Yuntian knew that his cousin was not on the Black Dragon at the moment, and the two Great Li Immortal Masters were detached from worldly affairs. The person in charge on the Black Dragon was Dou Changhe, the manager of the Yushan Mine.

He did not do anything extra, and ran directly to Dou Changhe who was patrolling on the deck.

"Chief Bu, you came at the right time! I was just planning to notify you to come over..."

Without waiting for Bu Yuntian to explain his intention, Dou Changhe said directly: "Go and notify the personnel on each ship to get ready, we are about to set sail!"

"Set sail?"

Bu Yuntian was stunned: "Where to go?"

Dou Changhe glanced at him: "Where else can we go? Of course, we are heading north to Lujiang City!"

"This is impossible!"

Before Bu Yuntian could speak, the captain on the side screamed first.

"With such strong water and bad weather, it is impossible to sail north! We are now in the river bend, so the water is so calm. If we leave this river bend, the wind and waves will be more than ten times more fierce than now, and it is impossible to go upstream! At this time, we should go downstream and enter the lake downstream to take shelter from the wind and waves!"

Dou Changhe said lightly: "Everything depends on human efforts, nothing is impossible, just make preparations and act according to our instructions... This is the order of our cousin!"

The captain choked, he naturally knew how powerful his cousin was, and Dou Changhe brought up this name, and he didn't know how to argue for a while.

Bu Yuntian frowned and said, "Manager Dou, even if we are willing to go out, it is useless. Our Bu family's ship is not as strong as the Black Dragon, and it is not equipped with any driving array. There is no sufficient power to go upstream!"

Dou Changhe smiled mysteriously: "You don't have to worry about this problem. Anyway, you just need to be prepared. We will solve the power problem for you!"

The two were stunned and looked at each other. They didn't understand how he could solve this problem. But seeing that the other party looked confident, Bu Yuntian couldn't say anything else and could only follow his instructions.

So the two had to give up their original intention and returned to the original ship with heavy hearts. They notified the other ships one by one to prepare to go upstream north.

As soon as this order was passed down, the other captains also raised objections. Bu Yuntian did not explain much and replied in the same way as Dou Changhe: "Just be prepared, and other problems will naturally be solved for you!" Although he said so, Bu Yuntian was actually very curious in his heart. What method did Dou Changhe use to make all the ships go upstream under such circumstances? Soon, the answer was revealed.

Dou Changhe ordered the ships to dock in a certain order, and then used huge iron chains to connect all the ships in a long line.

There were seven ships in total, with the Black Dragon as the leader, twisting and turning on the winding river like a water snake. Under the shackles of the iron chains, they were integrated with each other, which naturally greatly increased the ability to resist wind and waves.

However, this only solved the problem of resisting wind and waves. How to solve the more critical power problem?

Could it be that the driving array of the Black Dragon could drive a fleet like a long snake array?

Everyone was puzzled.

At this moment, a scene that shocked everyone happened!

A dazzling light suddenly lit up above the Black Dragon, and even the dark sky was covered by this dazzling light.

In the center of this light were two beautiful figures, who were the two Dali Immortal Masters who had been sitting on the Black Dragon.

Whoosh!

A huge pulling force came, and the whole fleet began to speed up immediately, pushing away the water, wind, and rain, riding the wind and waves, and going upstream.

After a while, the speed was increased to the limit, the strong wind blew in the face, and the raindrops hit the face painfully.

Everyone was stunned.

Although everyone did not know what the two Dali Immortal Masters did, it was obvious that all this was done by them.

"Oh my God, I have been struggling on the water for most of my life, and I have never been on such a fast ship!"

"I think it's just like flying in the clouds!"

"What kind of power is this? Only gods have such divine power, right?"

"It's worthy of being the Dali Immortal Master! This fairy is really a god!"

...

On the deck, the crew exclaimed again and again.

Some even prostrated themselves on the deck, kowtowed to the two beautiful figures in the air, and kept muttering words like "Gods and fairies appearing".

Bu Yuntian was also quite surprised.

Pulling the entire fleet upstream in the raging waves, the force involved must be no less than ten thousand kilograms, but the two Great Li Immortal Masters did it with their own strength. What's more rare is that this is not a momentary force, but a continuous force that must be maintained all the way.

This shows how deep and powerful the cultivation contained in their bodies is!

Although it was a fleet that was pulled at this time, if it was something else, wouldn't they be able to move even a mountain?

This is really the ability to move mountains and fill the sea!

Although Bu Yuntian knew that the two Great Li Immortal Masters must be extraordinary, he didn't expect them to be so powerful.

...

An hour later, Lujiang City was in sight.

Under the shock of the powerful strength of these two great masters, Bu Yuntian no longer worried about gains and losses. He had made up his mind to follow the Lu family to the end.

"Prepare for battle!" Bu Yuntian said in a deep voice.

Even if he was about to face the Xiang family head-on, he was still fearless.

Through what happened along the way, he had figured out that his cousin ordered the entire fleet to go upstream in the raging waves, which must have a deep meaning. He only needed to do his part, and other things would naturally be taken care of by others.

The children of the Bu family immediately began to prepare and line up, ready to go.

At this time, the captain who was responsible for looking out from a high place showed a strange smile.

"Chief, something seems to be wrong..."

Bu Yuntian frowned and said, "What could be wrong? No matter what happens, we will fight back. Today, we just need to fight hard and don't worry about other things!"

"That's not what I mean..."

The captain's expression became more and more strange: "There seems to be a white flag hanging on the top of Lujiang City..."

White flag?

Bu Yuntian was stunned.

Hanging a white flag means surrender... Would the Xiang family surrender without a fight? How is this possible!

"Don't make such a joke!" Bu Yuntian said unhappily.

The captain was immediately anxious: "If you don't believe me, come up and see for yourself!"

So Bu Yuntian himself climbed onto the mast and looked at Lujiang City from afar.

The wind and rain blocked the view, and the scene on the top of the city was not clear, but there seemed to be a white flag hanging high.

Bu Yuntian thought he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again, but it was still the same!

He was filled with astonishment, but before he could say anything, Dou Changhe's voice suddenly came from the Black Dragon in front.

"Clan leader Bu, Lujiang City has been taken by the cousin. After entering the city, we will directly take over the entire city! Your Bu family will take charge of the East City and the South City, and the Blood Knife Sect will take charge of the West City. Don't worry about the North City, the cousin is free to arrange it!"

Although the wind and rain were still strong, the two ships were very close to each other under the iron chain, so everyone on the ship heard Dou Changhe's words clearly.

Bu Yuntian was completely stunned and even forgot to respond.

What on earth was going on?

Didn't the cousin come here to explore the way? How did he take down the entire Lujiang City?

Where are the Xiang family's troops? Where are the third prince's reinforcements? What about the major family forces attached to the Xiang family? Where did they go?

He couldn't help but feel once again that this cousin was too unfathomable...

With just one person, he actually captured a county city!
