Chapter 163: Bandit Retreat
In the face of a group of arrogant and unreasonable water bandits, Yan Hanyu did not dare to come out, and the consequences of being strong would be the same as the person who fell into the water just now, dying and struggling.
Even if they have a strong martial arts Deng Guang on their boat, and two guards who are not low in martial arts, but in the face of a group of water bandits, strong crossbows, outnumbered, and the boat is still caught in the middle, how can they break through the encirclement and cross the river safely?
This Huaishui water area was originally a river leading to Sizhou, the big boat of the water bandits stopped in the middle of the river was too conspicuous, the long sail hung with a white scarf, floating with the wind, a big ink-colored "river" word came into view.
This is the symbol of the Jianghuai Bay water bandits, and outsiders are rumored that the leader of the Jianghuai Bay is surnamed Jiang, so he will hang such a conspicuous sign.
"Miss, we don't have much silver around us...... Xiao Ya'er whispered.
"It's okay, it's all given. Yan Hanyu looked at Xiao Ya'er, although she said this, Xiao Ya'er understood in her heart, they had silver tickets close to their bodies, which could never be revealed. It was originally intended for emergency use.
The big boat lowered the thick rope, and the eight bandits who came down were not bad in martial arts, and they only climbed the long rope and slipped, and the people landed on the several boats that were surrounded.
They were tall and strong, dressed in black, with black scarves covering their faces, holding big knives in their hands, straddle their legs, "bang", and the big knives hit the edge of the boat, so frightened that people didn't dare to gasp.
"Don't move!" a rough scolding.
Most of these ships are civilians, how much silver will they rob?
There were two young men on the boat who trembled and untied the burden on their bodies and gave them directly to the water bandits.
"Come here, get me all the boxes on this ship. One of the bandits called.
It's Xiao Xiaoniang who is talking about their boat.
Xiao Xiaoniang was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head.
"You bandits!"
There was a bearded man on the boat, and he was about to fight when a long arrow shot out in the distance. The man dodged sideways, his shirt was pierced with a "bang", and the long arrow was piercing Yan Hanyu's canopy, penetrating the canopy.
The long arrow pierced Yan Hanyu's canopy, and the hull of the boat tilted and shook a few times.
The next moment, the bearded man was approached by a big knife, and he was on his neck, unable to move.
Two more people on Xiao Xiaoniang's boat shot one after another, but they were forced by the two bandits who came to carry the box at the same time, forced on the edge of the boat, stretched out their hands and pushed, and the two fell into the river.
Little Ya'er handed over some broken silver and silver ingots.
The bandit stood at the bow of the boat with a knife, and the captain was frightened at this time, and handed over all the money he had earned today with trembling hands.
The bandits looked at all the people on their boat from top to bottom, only a few people on board, and there were no extra things on board, but look at the two people sitting there, one big and one small, their clothes were plain, but their appearance was so good that it was difficult for people not to pay attention. The younger one's eyes were half-down, looking at the younger child in his arms, and the other holding a teacup, and even though the hull of the boat shook, he sat there without moving at all.
The movements of this group of bandits were very fast, and a few boxes on Xiao Xiaoniang's boat were tied to thick ropes, and they were about to pull them on the boat, but they only heard a clear voice coming from a distance.
"The lord of Jiangdao has always been principled, although he cannot be commensurate with heroics, but as the lord of an island and the leader of the bandits, there have always been rules, do not hurt innocent people, do not rob the wealth of civilians, and there is a way to steal, and bandits are not wrong. What you are doing today is to break the rules of Jianghuai Bay, and it is against heaven to find these helpless people to do such a thing, and you are not afraid of being beaten by the righteous people on the rivers and lakes and pursued by the court?"
The voice of the big man on the bandit ship asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
The thick rope hung the box in the air, and the next moment I saw a white shadow passing by, "bang" twice, the thick rope was cut in response, and the box fell on the boat, with a huge sound.
The ship was unstable and staggered and almost overturned the two bandits on board.
A boat is getting closer and closer, and a man in green clothes stands at the bow of the boat.
"Woooo
I saw that the green shadow jumped up, stepped on the long arrow and flew by, and jumped on the nearest boat.
He stood steady and arched his hand, "In Xia Xuwu, I don't know who Your Excellency is from Jianghuai Bay?"
"It turned out to be Xu Wu, a famous flying knife master on the rivers and lakes!"
"It's just below. ”
"You think that you can fight with us alone, it's really a joke! The same people from the rivers and lakes, if you turn a blind eye to this, Lao Tzu will spare your life, but if you don't know what to do, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!"
"With my own strength, I am naturally not your opponent, but you have obviously missed the hour, and even if you are dead or wounded, you will not be able to escape this fate. It is worth exchanging my life for your boatload. ”
The leader of the water bandits realized at this moment that it was too late to continue moving the box, as a bandit on the river, he had to commit the crime quickly, not even a moment later. Coming to Huaishui to grab silver is originally a very thrilling thing, there is a watchtower in Sizhou, there are big ships in the water for too long, the guards of the watchtower will be aware of it, and then the government will send a boat to come, and if they fall into that situation, their lives are difficult to protect, and they do not want to escape.
The bandit leader hated his teeth and just wanted to kill people to vent his anger.
A few thick ropes fell again, and a thick voice sounded, "Quick! Let's go!"
Deng Guang shot at the same time and detained the scarve-covered man on their ship.
The bearded man who was held to his neck with a knife just now also took advantage of his unpreparedness, turned the danger around, and detained the scarf man.
"Kuanzi, big grain!" a thick roar.
"Boss, you go, leave me alone!"
"Woo hoo!" Several long arrows flew over again, seeing that they all landed on Xiao Xiaoniang's boat, the man in Tsing Yi raised his figure, and an extra long rod was raised in his hand, cutting off several long arrows, and the long arrows fell into the water in response.
"Plop!" several people jumped into the water in fright.
"Xu Wu, you remember it to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will not let you go. ”
"Kuanzi! Big grain! Lao Tzu will find an opportunity to save you. ”
"Boss!" the voice was hidden in his throat.
The big ship sailed and gradually retreated, Xu Wu was always vigilant against the water bandits on the big ship and the dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry, shooting arrows again to hurt innocent people, and waited for the big ship to go away, the crisis was resolved, and he hurriedly went into the water to save people.
At this time, several boats were a little broken, and they were lying on the water.
They were intercepted by the bandit ships just now, and these boats were huddled together and could not move, when the big ship set sail and retreated, and the ships gradually dispersed.
Those captains at the helm are all good at water, so naturally they immediately thought of entering the water to hide for their lives, and they all entered the water one after another. They didn't actually swim far, and when they saw the big ship gone, they quickly swam back. If they were allowed to swim to the shore of Sizhou, they would not be able to reach it until dark.
The downstream of the Huai River is the direction of the Huai River.
The Huaijiang River is thirty miles away from here, and it will take half a day for the big ship to come. (To be continued.) )
