Chapter Eighty-Three: Caring for Each Other
Now Wan Ning is worried about Brother Kun, because Brother Kun and his uncle are not here.
"Did you see my uncle's boat passing?" Wan Ning looked at Mother Tong.
Tong's mother hurriedly went out to ask the mother-in-law who was with the boat, and after a while, she turned around, "There is fog and I can't see clearly, but my uncle's boat was already in front of us, and the official ship just got out of the way, and my uncle should go to the front." ”
Wan Ning nodded, Cui Yiting let the official ship fall behind them, to escort them to leave first, so that the more they walked in front, the safer they were.
Mrs. Shen Si called her subordinates over and ordered, "Take Miss Seven to the room inside, and don't come out no matter what happens outside." ”
There is a secret warehouse inside, if it is not for a careful search, it will not be found, Mrs. Shen Si looked at Wan Ning in a panic, "You must listen to your aunt." ”
Wan Ning shook her head, "Uncle, if it is a bandit, you must know that there is a hidden warehouse in a ship like ours, and even if you hide at that time, you won't be able to hide it." ”
What Wan Ning said made sense, and Mrs. Shen Si's eyes widened, "Then what should I do?" ”
"Fourth Lady, Seventh Miss," Mother Tong, who was by the window, seemed frightened, "There is also a fire ahead." ”
Outside the window, there was a faint light of fire, followed by a noisy sound in front of me.
Lei Hu came in from the outside quickly, and now that their group had changed into black clothes, Mrs. Shen Si was stunned for a moment when she saw Lei Hu and a few people dressed like this.
Lei Hu said: "Mrs. Shen Si and Miss Yao Qi rest assured, since we have taken this dart, we will definitely fight with our lives to save it, and now the officers and soldiers have already fought each other." If someone touches it, our executioner knows the water well, and he will not suffer casually. ”
This time she went to Beijing, and she specially invited the dart bureau to escort her. I was afraid that something would happen on the road, and the action at that time seemed to be superfluous, but now it seems that thanks to this, otherwise if those people touched it, the ladies of their boat would really be tied up.
You can't see me in the fog. I can't see you, it's still unknown who is dead or alive, and the most important thing now is not to mess around. The Shen family's boat is small and easy to travel, and in case of congested waterways, it is also not good for official ships.
Wan Ning looked at Mrs. Shen Si, "At this moment, the Shen family's ship has to listen to the arrangement of the dart bureau. ”
Thunder Tiger is a retired head catcher. Caught the Jiangyang thief. Whether it is water transportation or road travel, they are very experienced, boating, sailing, these boats, they all know how to change, there will be no chaos.
"Who turned off the lights on the ship?" Wan Ning saw a lamp being taken down.
The steward outside immediately replied: "Miss, the boats around us are turning off the lights, and they are shouting over there, we can only hide when the lights are out." ”
Behind are all official ships, and the lights are out. In case the official ship does not see the collision, do not wait for the thief to find the door. They're already messing around on their own.
Wan Jing calmed down, and sure enough, she faintly heard a shout, and the voice sounded very eager, but the words were correct and skillful and sure.
Such sounds and emotions are obviously inconsistent with the language, feelings.
This shows that the person who spoke was lying, and he was shouting for everyone to turn off the lights when he knew they shouldn't have to.
Wan Ning looked at Thunder Tiger.
Lei Hu understood what Wan Ning meant, "The lights must not be extinguished when sailing at night and in the fog." ”
All sailors should understand this.
This person shouted such words at this juncture to make them mess up their own positions, and these people are the eyeliner of those "water bandits".
Wan Ning instructed to go over, "Light all the lights, and all the ships of the Shen family are not allowed to turn off the lights." ”
Seeing that the subordinate ordered to go down.
Wan Ning paused, "There are people from the dart bureau on every ship of our Shen family, just now I heard the head of the dart talking to people in code, can the head of the dart use the code language to tell the people of the dart bureau, who refuses to light the lamp, he directly tied the person and gag it, waiting for the future interrogation, and the person who shouted just now must also be arrested." "Now it's time to control the scene neatly.
Lei Hu nodded, "I'll arrange it immediately." ”
……
"Attack them from both sides, hit them one without caring about each other, and make a mess by ourselves, and we will have a chance." Wang Zhengru looked at the river in black.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, the most important thing now is to be fast, the earlier Cui Yiting's fleet is thrown into chaos, the more they can succeed.
Cui Yiting, even if he is a member of the Cui family, don't think about breaking ground on his head, a dead Cui Yiting protected their entire Nanzhili, and when the time comes, in front of Cui Shangshu, he only needs to say two words "miss", and he can prevaricate in the past.
It's just an uncle and nephew, not a father and son, can you still find him for revenge?
No matter what, it was Cui Yiting who broke the rules first.
……
An arrow fell at his feet, and Chen Bao hurriedly came to protect Cui Yiting, "Second master, let's go to the cabin first!" ”
Cui Yiting looked at the burning grain ship in the distance.
"I don't know how many people set fire on both sides," Xie Yanji frowned, "Is this to surround us?" ”
"Our team is not small, they don't have that ability," Cui Yiting said lightly, "They want to make us panic." ”
Xie Yanji said: "But now I don't know which side is true, whether it is a few ships catching up from behind, or a few ships surrounding from the front." ”
If there is no fog, you can see some clues at a glance, and now ......
Cui Yiting frowned, "First test the one who comes after you, if it's not right, immediately send people to the front." If his judgment is correct, the target of those "water bandits" is still his official ship, so he will let the Shen family's civilian ship go first, and now he only hopes that the Shen family's ship will not go on a business trip.
Cui Yiting suddenly remembered Miss Yao Qi.
He had never been so hopeful from the bottom of his heart, hoping that Miss Yao Qi could see through the situation and help the entire fleet tide over the difficulties.
If someone from the Shen family can stand up at this time, it must be Miss Yao Qi.
He suddenly found that a few battles between you and me had made him believe in the twelve-year-old lady.
……
Several rockets in a row lit up the entire sky, surrounded by the sounds of fighting and falling water.
Someone wanted to quietly board the ship, and the moment he stepped on the board, a knife silently attached to it and slashed lightly, and a stream of heat suddenly rushed out of his neck.
The smell of blood, dead bodies, and charred paste permeated the air.
"Catch it alive," Wan Ning watched as Lei Hu's knife was about to fall.
The executioner threw the rope, and Lei Hu tied the man strongly.
"Miss Seven," came the steward's voice, "whether we want to move forward." ”
The ships that were ignited by the fire were not far away, and if you walked forward, you would inevitably encounter those boats, whether they were going or not going.
"What did the thief who shouted that he caught?"
She can't take risks casually, at least she has to have a basis to make a decision, what she has in her hand is more than a dozen ships of the Shen family, and there are many lives on them.
The executioner next to him said: "I must have turned off the lights for the safety of the ship." ”
"Put the people you just caught with the thieves together, if you are willing to say it, you will live, and if you don't want to say it, you will be killed, and only ask how many 'bandits' there are in front of you."
The executioner of the dart board looked at Lei Hu inquiringly, and Lei Hu nodded.
……
I don't know how long it took.
Wan Ning only felt that time had never passed so slowly.
The smell of blood was contained in the fog, as if it could not be dispersed.
"Say......" The executioner wiped the blood from his head and threw the man in his hand on the ground, and the man immediately pleaded, "just let me shout and let the fleet be in chaos, and I don't know anything else." ”
After speaking, the executioner carried the man away.
The stewards in the ship are all looking at Wan Ning.
What to do? Now what?
If the bandits had enough manpower, they would not have burned a boat, and there would be no big movement, but only a few people with good water skills would try to get on board.
But she didn't know much about boats and waterways after all, Wan Ning said: "What does Lei Dart think we should do?" ”
Lei Hu thought for a while, "This section of water is not very open, if we leave those official ships behind, we won't be able to pass, if we go through this section and divide to both sides, the official ships can follow, and when the official ships come, even if the bandits are washed away, we will be safe." ”
Cui Yiting asked her to go first, because she cared about the safety of the Shen family, and in this way, she couldn't let the civilian boats block the official ships and contain Cui Yiting, which was also in the hands of the water bandits.
If you want to be sleepy, you will be trapped and die together, and only by walking can you have a way to live.
"Walk forward, until we reach the open water, and then we will stop and wait for the official boat."
She has no choice, she doesn't take risks at this time, and when the official ship is defeated, these bandits will not let them go, no matter what, she can't just sit back because she is afraid.
……
"Boat, ship coming."
I could only vaguely see a light flickering through the fog.
The official ships are obviously pinned down behind, what kind of ships are these in front? Could it be a hired civilian boat?
Wang Zhengru instructed his subordinates, "Quickly, go and check, stop these boats." ”
The two burning grain ships, he felt that it was enough to stop Cui Yiting, but he didn't expect the fleet to still move forward, he had already received the news, in addition to those official ships, there were also more than ten or twenty civilian ships, most of these civilian ships had not been transported, and most of the shipwrights on board were inexperienced.
When he heard it, he laughed at Cui Yiting, after all, he was too young to understand the mysteries in Caoyun, and there would inevitably be chaos with civilian ships.
But now it doesn't seem to be as simple as he thinks. He planted men to disrupt the entire fleet first, and then let people who knew the nature of water board the ship and set fire to kill people, and if the ships burned a few more, everyone would be in chaos.
He waited here, but he didn't hear the slightest movement.
The boat sailed, the lights on the boat were on, and only one boat, lit by fire, floated on the river.
He was concerned about whether he could kill Cui Yiting, almost all the manpower was dealing with the official ship, and now he found that there was something strange in front of him, but he couldn't dispatch anyone for a while.
I could only watch as the fleet dispersed like ink droplets falling into the water.
"Lord Wang, don't come to harm." A cold voice rang out from behind.
