"Ashu, are we going to die here today?" Ling Xiao clenched Ling Jingshu's arm tightly, and her trembling voice was full of fear.

His eyes are invisible, but his ears are extremely sensitive. The sound of killing and screaming from the plank of the ship clearly reached his ears.

When encountering such a thing, not only Ling Xiao was frightened, but Ling Jingshu could not be afraid?

But she is the backbone of Ling Xiao. If she panicked, Ling Xiao would be even more flustered.

Ling Jingshu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Since God has reborn her, he won't take her life so lightly!

"There are more than 20 highly skilled guards on this official ship, and nearly 20 boatmen, with them, they will definitely be able to stop those bandits." Ling Jingshu quickly whispered, "Moreover, I have already rushed to release a distress signal, and someone will come to save us soon." We'll be safe. ”

The calm and soft voice calmed down the flustered and helpless Ling Xiao a little, and whispered apologetically: "Ashu, it's all for me, you will go to the capital with you." If something happens."

"There will be no accidents!" Ling Jingshu interrupted Ling Xiao categorically, and her soft voice revealed firmness: "Don't scare yourself. ”

Such firm self-confidence not only infected Ling Xiao, but Bai Yu Jingyu and several maids also calmed down a lot.

There were no candlesticks lit in the cabin, and it was dark.

Because of this, no one saw Ling Jingshu's strange look at this time.

The words just now were to appease Ling Xiao and Bai Yu's hearts, but listening to the increasingly fierce shouts and killings coming from outside, Ling Jingshu's heart sank little by little.

It is clear that the bandits, having taken advantage of the outnumbered population, have gained the upper hand. It's just that these bandits don't seem to have the intention of killing people. Still fighting.

In the previous life, Uncle Ling's family returned to the capital, and they never encountered water bandits on the road, nor did they have any accidents. Why did a bunch of bandits come from at this time?

What exactly is the business trip?

The river was quite secluded and desolate, and it was the middle of the night, and even if there were passing boats, they must have stopped. It is also unknown if any ships saw the distress signal and rushed to the rescue

If no one comes to the rescue, these bandits will come up again. Where can this thin door panel resist?

Ling Jingshu calmed down and said, "White jade." Jingyu, you two come here, and I will move the wooden boxes of tables and chairs behind the door. "It's not very useful, though. But something is better than nothing, and your heart can be a little more steady.

Ling Xiao immediately said, "I'm here to help, too." lest Ling Jingshu disagree, she said: "It's dark in the cabin, and I can't see anything clearly." I have a sharp ear. It's stronger than you. ”

There are some things to do, and you can be less cranky.

Ling Jingshu responded.

Several people fumbled in the dark. I moved the table, then the chair and two wooden boxes. When I was busy with this qiē, my heart was also a little more steady.

Although the shouts and killings outside were still terrifying, the master and servant were hiding in this dark cabin. It seems to be a lot more relieved. Darkness is frightening, but it also gives people a sense of security in the dark.

Ling Xiao was still leaning tightly against Ling Jingshu's side, and her violently beating heart calmed down slightly. Suddenly, I remembered an important thing: "Auntie, we are hiding here." Uncle, what should they do? Are we going to call them along? ”

Although there are many people, it is not necessarily useful, and the courage can always be stronger when they get together.

Ling Jingshu was silent for a moment before she whispered, "Uncle, they must be together at this time. If we call them, they may not come. ”

The catastrophe is coming, and the uncle and his family can't take care of their two sisters and brothers. No one has come to call them yet.

Ling Xiao heard the meaning of Ling Jingshu's words, and was immediately speechless, feeling quite bad in his heart.

"Don't blame them." Ling Jingshu's calm voice carried a hint of embarrassment: "I don't know what the situation is outside, if it were me, I wouldn't dare to walk out of this door." ”

In this world, even father and son husband and wife may not be reliable. When it comes to the moment of life and death, you can really see the position of others in your heart, and you can also see the weight of your heart.

For example, after Ling Xiao woke up, he came to her without thinking.

Although Ling Xiao's temperament is simple and innocent, he is not an incomprehensible child, and after hearing this, he nodded seriously: "Ashu, you are right. To me, you're the most important person in the world. For uncles, they can't take care of our brothers and sisters at this time. It's human nature, and it's no wonder they're not to blame. ”

Ling Jingshu had no time to praise Ling Xiao anymore.

I don't know who was injured on the board, and there was a terrible scream, and the people who listened to it were terrified.

Then, one of the guards shouted, "A few people have already broken in, stop them quickly"

A bandit broke through the blockade of the escort boatmen and made their way into the cabin!

Ling Jingshu's heart trembled, and she subconsciously clenched the dagger in her hand, and then silently hugged Ling Xiao, who was trembling. At this point, no amount of comfort and encouragement is useless.

The bandits have rushed up!

Ten miles away by waterway, a fleet of ships was approaching.

Tonight there is a moon without stars, the sky is full of dark clouds, and the moonlight is dim.

There were six ships in this flotilla. Each ship stands tall, wide, and sturdy, far superior to ordinary official ships.

The leading ship is even more exquisite and luxurious.

On the board of each ship, there are many guards with bright eyes and strong bodies. Most of the guards were armed with long knives, and some of the smaller ones were armed with longbows and arrows, scrutinizing their surroundings vigilantly and vigilantly.

Roughly speaking, there are at least more than two hundred guards on these six ships. Well armed and extremely disciplined.

So many people stood on the board, and there was no noise.

The ship moved silently and quickly. On the surface of the dark night, it is like a column of giant beasts hidden in the darkness, waiting to show its sharp claws and tear the enemy apart.

"Wang Tong, at this speed, how long will it take to get to the official ship that sent the distress signal?"

In the spacious and gorgeous cabin, a cold and indifferent young man's voice sounded.

The young man, dressed in a dark brocade robe and a jade hoop on his head, looked down at the book in his hand, and did not look up when he spoke, as if he only asked casually.

Wang Tong, the leader of the guards standing in front of the young man, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded: "Back to Your Highness, it should not be more than ten miles by water, and the boat will be traveling at full strength, and it will be possible to arrive at most in one tea hour." ”

After a pause, he said, "It's been a while since I saw the distress signal and rushed to it. I don't know if the people on the boat are still alive after rushing over. ”

The young man in the dark brocade robe still didn't look up: "It's good to catch up with them, but if you can't catch up, you can only blame them for their bad luck." ”
