The three civilian ships that followed the official ship were not large, and they were the most ordinary civilian ship styles.

It's just that the boatman in charge of rowing is exceptionally strong and strong, and the "passengers" sitting in the cabin are all middle-aged men, and everyone has strangely shaped packages in their hands.

The long package contains a spear, and the shorter one contains a knife. There are also weapons such as soft whips and iron rods.

As long as no one boarded the ship and went into the cabin to inspect it, it was nothing unusual to look at it from such a distance.

These three civilian ships were not parallel, and each of them was separated by a waterway of about two miles. The boats coming and going on the river are not eye-catching at all.

The first ship had the most people in it. There were about twenty strong men. The lame beggar with a scarred face is among them, and the leading man has a tiger's back and a pair of triangular eyes, which is the second leader of this gang of bandits.

"Second master, are we really going to risk this vote?" Scarface asked with some uneasiness, "There are really a lot of guards on this official ship. In case"

The lame beggar sneered and hurriedly said, "What if! Scar, you're getting less and less guts. There were a maximum of twenty guards on that official ship, and no more than forty with the boatmen. There are seventy of us on our side. Besides, we're not going to board the ship and kill people. Just pull out your knife and restrain them, and if you rob someone, you will leave. We've been doing this kind of hook for a long time! ”

There are, of course, risks. However, what they do is to lick blood with a knife and rob and sell people, where can they become big things if they are timid!

The second master glanced at the lame beggar approvingly: "The lame man is right. If you want to make a fortune, how can you not take risks. The big boss has asked people to urge him a few times, saying that there is a lack of good 'goods' in his hands, and there is a noble leader on the barbarian side, who has already sold two hundred war horses for a stunning beauty. ”

The eyes of the bandits in the cabin lit up.

Two hundred horses!

Ship it to Kannai and sell it. At least seventy or eighty thousand taels! According to the usual practice, the second boss of the big boss is divided into one-third, and the rest of the people are divided equally, and there are nearly a thousand taels.

After this ticket, it is enough to spend a year or two on eating, drinking, and having fun!

Thinking of this, one by one became emotional, and said gossipingly: "Scar." If you don't dare to do it, you coward. When the time comes, stay and watch the boat. ”

"That is, we have to follow the second master to do this vote."

"If you want to eat meat and drink wine, how can you do it without taking some risks"

Scarface was laughed at by everyone. He shrunk his neck and said nothing.

The second master saw his subordinates gearing up, and he was quite satisfied. Thinking of the glimpse of the pier during the day, my heart was ready to move again.

There are not a few Peugeot girls who have been kidnapped. But as beautiful and moving as today, it has never been seen before. Such a stunning beauty, let alone two hundred war horses. If the price is higher, you won't have to worry about it.

It's a pity that it is sold at a high price. It has to be a virgin who has never been touched.

Even if he takes people captive, he can only watch

After thinking about it again, after doing this vote, I can get a large sum of silver. What kind of beautiful woman do you want at that time?

"Let's be quiet." Second, the master reins in his mind. Shen Sheng said: "What we are doing is a head-killing business, and if we are not careful, the life of the big guy will be over." So. Before I do it, I've got to go through the rules. ”

"First. No one shall act without My command. Second, don't kill people, don't covet the gold and silver on the ship, move quickly, and retreat quickly if you rob someone. If anyone doesn't listen to me."

The second master laughed fiercely, and a terrifying fierce light appeared in his triangular eyes: "My knife doesn't recognize people." ”

The bandits who were shouting excitedly just now responded in unison, and the cabin suddenly became much quieter.

The lame beggar relied on his own meritorious service to report the news, and boldly asked: "The second master, the night is long and there are many dreams, it is better to do it tonight." lest you follow all the way and arouse the suspicion of the guards on the official ship. ”

Without thinking, the second master said, "Wait first." The three of us took turns to follow and observe the movements on the ship, and then we would do it when we figured out the specific situation on the ship. ”

Two days later.

It was getting dark, and the boatmen were tired from the day's rowing. There are still dozens of miles of waterways to go before the next pier, and I can't make it to dock in time anyway.

The leader of the boatmen went to report to the head of the guard: "Tonight, I can only dock on the shore to rest." ”

After walking so many days by water, there have been such situations.

It's just that the boat has sailed off the beaten track, an empty wasteland by the river. Except for one or two civilian boats that occasionally pass by, there are no people in sight.

The head of the guard nodded and responded, "I'll go and report to the old lady, and you let the big guys rest well." ”

After Uncle Ling found out, he only ordered: "Let the guards work harder at night and take turns to be on duty at night." ”

It's just a precautionary measure. Which little ones dare to hit the idea of the official ship?

It soon darkened.

Everyone had their own dinner, sat down and gossiped, and then went back to their cabins to rest.

White jade lit the candlestick. Ling Jingshu held the book and read it softly to Ling Xiao.

"Ashu," Ling Xiao suddenly frowned beautifully, and said softly, "I've been feeling terrified all day today, and I always feel like something is going to happen?" ”

It is said that there is telepathy between the twins, and it turns out to be true.

Ling Jingshu was restless all day, but she didn't expect Ling Xiao to be the same as her.

"Don't think nonsense, this road is safe and sound, and it will be fine." Ling Jingshu pretended to be relaxed and cheerful to appease Ling Xiao, but her eyes swept over the bamboo tube beside the pillow.

This is what she specially ordered Bai Yu to ask for from the boatman. If something happens on the boat, as long as you pull out the lid of the bamboo tube and throw it out vigorously, the bamboo tube will burst into the sky. Thirty miles of waterway, you can see it.

This is a distress signal when an officer ship is in distress. As long as you see such a light and flame, no matter what kind of ship it is, you must rush to the rescue in the shortest possible time.

When the official ship travels, it will inevitably prepare a few such bamboo tubes.

In fact, most of them didn't have a chance to use, and the boatman's boss had half a basket of such bamboo tubes. Therefore, when Bai Yu went to ask for it, it didn't take much time to ask for one.

Ling Jingshu also hid a sharp dagger under her pillow.

However, don't tell Ling Xiao about this kind of thing, lest he be more nervous.

"You've never been far away, you've never lived on a ship, and you're probably a little nervous, that's why you're thinking." Ling Jingshu softened her voice: "It's not early, you go back and wash and sleep first!" ”

Ling Xiao replied sullenly.

After coaxing Ling Xiao away, Ling Jingshu also simply freshened up and fell asleep.

Probably because my spirit was too tense, the slight sound of the breeze blowing through the window seemed to ring in my ears.

Ling Jingshu had a rare insomnia, and it wasn't until the time passed that she fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, Ling Jingshu was suddenly awakened
