Chapter 623 Crossing the River
Zixiao Peak is not far from Chang'an Beach.

Crossing Hongjiang and heading north for more than 500 miles is Zixiao Peak.

But if you really walk along the official road, you will have to walk more than a thousand miles!
There is no other reason, it is just that the water in this section of the river is too turbulent, any boat can only go downstream and has no ability to cross the river.

Just like the boat that the monks had taken before, they just floated from upstream, stayed for a short time, and then went downstream along the river.

If you want to cross the river, you can only take a detour upstream or downstream. In some places where the river is not fast, there are large ships that can cross the river; or there are bridges in some narrow parts of the river, so you can walk across.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly flew over the river!
The strong wind messed up Fu Qingzhou's hair and made his clothes rustle. He held a large bow in his left hand and a long rope was wrapped around his right wrist. Tied to the other end of the rope was... an iron arrow that flew through the air!
Below, mighty waves splashed against rocks, and a violent mist wrapped in a cold wind blew in his face, freezing into tiny ice crystals on his face.

This is his way of crossing the river!
The power of the iron arrow can break monuments and shatter rocks. With such a great force, what's wrong with it carrying me flying for a while?
Of course, this section of the river is nearly two miles long, and the arrow carrying the weight of a person naturally cannot fly that far.

Seeing that the iron arrow's momentum weakened and began to fall, Fu Qingzhou hurriedly pulled the rope and pulled the iron arrow back.

He was still in mid-air, leaping forward by inertia, while he had already clenched the iron arrow in his hand and put the bowstring on again!

With a "bang" sound of the bowstring, he shot the iron arrow diagonally upwards!
The iron arrow shot out suddenly, and the rope was stretched straight in an instant. Fu Qingzhou's whole body was pulled hard, and he was once again carried up by this force.

Every time he shot the arrow, it could fly over a distance of about a hundred feet. After only three or four times, he would be able to cross the Hongjiang River!
The second arrow was shot, and Fu Qingzhou flew high again, drawing a beautiful parabola towards the distance at an extremely fast speed.

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"No! Man! Can it be like this?!"

Fu Qingzhou was startled and turned his head sharply.

A familiar face came into view—Zhao Hao!
He appeared out of nowhere, and his slightly plump body was gliding like a big bird, looking at himself with a strange smile on his face.

"Ah?! Where did you come from?!"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked.

But in the blink of an eye, the arrow from the shuttle began to fall. He then reacted, pulled back the rope, held the arrow in his hand, and prepared to shoot.

But the hesitation just now made him fall too low, and before the string was fully drawn, a huge wave came crashing down on him.

Originally, a wave would not have had much impact on him, but the arrow was naturally deflected. The iron arrow lost its power and fell into the water before it flew far.

As for Fu Qingzhou?
A drowned rat.

"What the hell are you doing!"

He was floating in the rough waves, and he stretched out his hand to Zhao Hao who was floating down lightly: "Hurry up and pull me up!"

Zhao Hao landed leisurely and stood on a branch floating on the river.

The branch rolled and fell in the water, but he was not affected at all. He placed one toe on it. No matter how violent the waves were or how the branch swung up and down, he always stood very steady.

"I just came to see you, why are you scared? You are so timid."

Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Oh, I just realized you fell into the water. You are the great Lord Qianlong and Lord Fu, the great masters of the Seventh Realm. Could you have drowned?"

Fu Qingzhou changed the gesture of his outstretched hand and raised his middle finger.

Then, the true energy in his body surged up, poured into his right hand, and slammed heavily on the water.

There was a loud "pop" sound, just like the crisp sound of a slap in the face. The instantaneous tension of the water surface brought a strong force to Fu Qingzhou. He immediately jumped up, and with a surge of water, rushed to the low sky several feet high.

Zhao Hao bared his teeth: "Such a terrifying power... It's been a long time since I last saw it..."

Leaping into the air, Fu Qingzhou pulled the rope and pulled the iron arrow back, then put the bow on and pointed it at... Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao, who was standing on the branch in an extremely elegant manner, suddenly felt cold all over and shivered.

Seeing this, Fu Qingzhou grinned, then raised the arrow head and shot an arrow diagonally upwards.

With a bang, the bowstring sounded, and he was carried away by the iron arrow to the other side of the river.

"hateful……"

Zhao Hao stretched out his hand, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a sigh: "Is this guy so scary? Just because he pointed an arrow at me, I actually felt like I was going to die?"

"Oh, how embarrassing..."

He shook his head, exerted force with his toes, and pushed the branch into the water. Then his whole body floated up like a feather and followed the direction of Fu Qingzhou.

The two of them walked one after the other and quickly crossed the river, which was a chasm for others, and landed on the shore.

The river bank on the Hongjiang side is a barren sandy land, and a hundred steps away is a cliff, on which the official road is probably located.

"Where did you come from?"

Fu Qingzhou put away his bow and arrows, turned around, and asked Zhao Hao, who was leisurely following behind him, "I haven't seen you for a while?"

"Actually, I've been following you for a while." Zhao Hao smiled, "It's just that with Sister Wushu around, I don't dare to show up."

"Forgot you were a little scared of her."

Fu Qingzhou curled his lips: "So, why did you come to see me?"

"cough……"

When talking about business, Zhao Hao cleared his throat awkwardly: "Well, I have something to discuss with you."

This was the first time Fu Qingzhou looked so embarrassed. He raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me."

"...Do you remember that Jiang Baichuan exposed his other identity and escaped?" Zhao Hao asked with a pout.

Fu Qingzhou laughed: "I was the one who found him out, how could I forget about it? What's wrong?"

"You should still remember that the Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Conference was sponsored by my family, right?" Zhao Hao coughed lightly.

Fu Qingzhou smiled wryly: "I remember, how could I not remember? What, he got into trouble and it involved you?"

"……is a bit."

Zhao Hao said helplessly: "You don't know, I worked very hard to get the Xingyun Chamber of Commerce and seize the power of an uncle in the mansion, so that I could finally form an alliance with the Wulin Alliance, organize this Hundred Heroes Conference seriously, and grab a position for myself in Qianfang Baixiao Tower and Xishuo Palace..." (See Zhao Hao's Extra)

"Fuck, Jiang Baichuan is actually the master of Xiyu Pavilion!"

He thrust all ten fingers into his hair in agony: "Now, all my hard work has gone to waste! Father will definitely give me a hard time!"

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "So?"

"so……"

Zhao Hao lowered his hands and said weakly: "I have a favor to ask you for help..."
