Chapter Seventy-Six: Water Bandits
Before Xiahou could just ask what the situation of the bandits in Poyang Lake was, a martial law order came from outside, and the crew members introduced by Xiahou were stunned, and chuckled: "These grandsons really dare to come up, it seems that we must teach them a good lesson this time, otherwise others will think that we are easy to bully, and any dog will dare to come up and step on a few feet." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Then he said to the guests on the boat: "Everyone go into their own rooms, don't come out if you don't ask you to come out, we will solve the water bandits quickly, everyone rest assured, our Yang family merchant ship will ensure everyone's safety, those water bandits will definitely not come back." ”
This person is very good at handling the situation, and the first thing to do is to let the passengers go back to the cabin to calm everyone's emotions.
Everyone was very confident in the Yang family's merchant ship guard force, although they were a little nervous, they did not appear flustered, and some were even laughing.
Xiahou Zheng didn't inquire anything at this time, and took Ping'er back to the room, originally Ping'er had her own room, but Xiahou didn't dare to let her stay there alone at this time, so he still took safety with him.
"Childe, I'm so scared, the bandits won't rush in, right?" Ping'er looked at the door from time to time, as if a bandit would rush in at any time.
"It's okay, the group of people outside is amazing, they will definitely be able to defeat that group of water bandits, even if they lose, isn't there still me, I will definitely protect Ping'er, Ping'er don't be afraid." Xiahou Zheng smiled and comforted, and drank a cup of tea by himself, seemingly not worried about the situation outside at all.
"Mm-hmm, Childe is the most powerful. Ping'er praised it, then tilted her head and said: "Those water bandits are all bad people, just like those people in the Qingshan Gang, do you want to go out to help? ”
Xia Hou waved his hand and explained with a smile: "No, if we go out now, we will be killed as an accomplice of the water bandits, and the people guarding outside will not hesitate to attack us." ”
"Why? We are here to help, why are we being treated as accomplices of the bandits, why are they attacking us?"
Xia Houzheng patiently explained: "You see that these boat passengers they are carrying are either their acquaintances, or they are people who drag their families, there are not many real single strong men at all, just to prevent the water bandits from mixing on the boat, if we go out to help, we will be considered as the water bandit accomplices who have mixed into the boat, otherwise they would have gone out to help a long time ago, why stay here! Wait, the owner of this merchant ship has hired a lot of guards, those water bandits will be defeated soon, don't worry." ”
The boat of the bandits was transformed from the fishing boat of the fishermen, carrying only ten people, but the speed on the water was extremely fast, more than ten small boats, not long before approaching the merchant ship, the two sides did not have a language exchange, as soon as they approached, they began to be on guard, looking at each other fiercely, ready to go to war at any time.
These bandits were dressed in different clothes and weapons, but they all had a red cloth belt tied to their arms, and their faces were vicious and fierce.
The steward on the ship saw the other party's red cloth belt, and his face froze, "It's actually a Red Mountain bandit, it's a bit tricky this time." ”
The Chishan bandits are famous water bandits in the Poyang Lake area, and they are also the most fierce water bandits, as long as they make a move, they must bite off a piece of meat from each other, they have never hit the attention of the Yang family's merchant ships before, and they don't want to actually attack them today.
The steward shouted to a big man opposite: "Chishan hero, please let us go, we have some silver taels here, we are willing to invite our brothers to drink, we are willing to make friends with our brothers, please smile." ”
This is the method taken by the merchant ship when it encounters its own irresistible or will cause serious losses, break the wealth and avoid disasters, generally the water bandits will give some face here, put away the money and leave, after all, it is really not good for anyone to lose both, but for the Red Mountain bandits, this method obviously does not work, they want all the property and women on board.
There was a big man standing on a ship opposite, with a grim face and a tiger-headed knife around his chest, it was Chishan, the leader of the Chishan bandits, who was named after him.
The Red Mountain Bandits rowed a boat to attack, the two sides soon met each other, and immediately launched a fierce battle, the Red Mountain Bandits were fierce and abnormal, and the escort side obviously fell into a disadvantage after defending for a period of time, and the steward had no choice but to call out the people in the boat to participate in the battle, and there were only a few guards left.
"Childe, the people outside seem to be gone. ”
"It's okay, they should be going to help, it's going to be fine!" Xiahou Zheng also frowned and looked at the door, and said in his heart: "Could it be that their struggle with the water bandits has fallen into disadvantage, so these people have to help?"
After thinking about it, Xiahou was standing up, "Ping'er, you stay here, I'll help them." ”
"But Childe, won't they treat you as a water bandit?" Ping'er was a little worried.
"No, I'll reason with them, I'm very good at reasoning. Rubbing Ping'er's head, Xiahou was opening the door and walking out.
Several people guarding the outside immediately shouted vigilantly: "Go in, don't come out, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”
Xia Hou was looking at the person who was talking about the person he had just inquired about, and the others all looked like they would kill him on the spot if he made any changes, "Little brother, I just see that your situation is a little bad, and I happen to have studied martial arts for a few days, so I just want to help." ”
"You have such a good heart, I'm afraid you're an accomplice of the water bandits. One retorted.
"I'm coming by land, and the horses are still on your boat, and besides, do you think I look like a bandit?"
"You don't look like a person who has practiced martial arts, just your small body, you can be blown down by a gust of wind, and you have also practiced martial arts, go back quickly!"
"Although there is no suspicion in you, but you stand up to help is the biggest suspicion, so I can't let you out, go back. The crew member was a little hesitant, but finally decided to let Xiahou Zheng go back, he couldn't take this risk.
Xiahou was talking to him about the current state of crisis, proving his credibility, and finally showing off his martial arts a little, and finally the man called them over.
The steward's face was full of anxiety, and when he saw Xiahou Zheng, he decided to ask him to help without saying a word, standing up at this time, if it was a water bandit, he would have attacked from the inside, and the inside and outside should be combined, where would there be so much nonsense.
When Xiahou was walking out, the deck was full of blood, the guards had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and they were still slowly shrinking the defensive line, the bandits also suffered heavy casualties, and there were corpses floating on the water, which were left when they boarded the ship, and there was another person on the deck standing behind them looking at them leisurely, that was their leader Chishan.
As his name suggests, the Chishan man is a mountain-like fierce man, with a scar on his face from his cheek to his chin, his eyes are cold and looking at both sides of the battle, he did not participate in the battle, he doesn't care how many of those bandits die, he likes this feeling.
Slapping over the two water bandits blocking the way in front of him, Xiahou was directly stepping on Ling Bo and rushing towards Chishan, he was ready to capture the thief and capture the king first.
Originally, when he saw Xiahou Zheng rushing over, Chishan was still sneering in his heart, such a scholar-like person, wouldn't he be sent to death when he rushed over like this, but after seeing Xiahou Zheng's footwork, his sneer became dignified, Ling Bo Weibu He didn't know, but he could see the subtlety, and people with such exquisite footwork were not ordinary people.
The deck was not long, and the two quickly exchanged hands, and Xiahou was relying on Ling Bo's micro-steps and deep internal strength to defeat Chishan one after another.
Thinking that he Chishan is also a third-rate master in the rivers and lakes, he originally thought that this deal was foolproof now, but he didn't expect to kill a Xiahou Zheng halfway, and he was about to lose, and if he continued to fight, it would only increase his losses, so Chishan jumped back into his boat with the power of Xiahou Zheng's palm, his face was gloomy and terrible, "Retreat!"
Chishan ordered, the other bandits immediately retreated to the boat, the ship's guards took advantage of this moment, immediately launched a counterattack, killed more than ten people, the rest ran away, the merchant ships were not as fast as their boats, and it was not necessarily an opponent to catch up, so the steward gave up the idea of pursuit.
