Because the two people stood in different directions, Li Xie stood facing the direction of the boat. When Cao Ying spoke, she was standing facing Li Xie, so it was different for the two of them to look at the position. So the things that two people see are also completely different.

When Cao Ying was saying that this nest of bandits would not come to rob her, she saw ships coming from the direction of the shore, and swept away, only to see scarecrows hanging on the sails. This is the sign of this nest of water bandits, Cao Ying was robbed by them once when she passed by here a few years ago, so she was deeply impressed by them, and she would never admit her mistake.

However, it is precisely because of the deep impression that Cao Ying's expression at this time will change greatly. Li Xie glanced back at Cao Ying after she stopped halfway through speaking. saw the unnaturalness in Cao Ying's expression, and then seemed to think of something and looked in the direction of Cao Ying's gaze.

The sight startled him, five boats, a whole five boats coming in his direction from the shore. Li Xie didn't know that the symbol of this nest of bandits was the scarecrow on the sail.

However, although Li Xie didn't know that this was the sign of this nest of bandits, but looking at their menacing appearance, they were forced to come to their side, and the direction they came from was still the shore, Cao Ying's expression was very unnatural at this time. Considering these circumstances, it was only a moment, and Li Xie had a guess about their identity.

"Brother Twenty! Defense against the water bandits is coming! Just for a moment, after Li Xie photographed their identities, he shouted without hesitation. While shouting, he pulled Cao Ying and walked briskly in the direction of the cabin.

In this era, even the cannon was not invented, let alone installed on ships. Therefore, when the two sides are not close together, the only thing that can be used in the battle between ships is arrows. But it's a pity that bows and arrows are officially controlled, and it is impossible for ordinary people or caravans to have them, and even if they do, they are very rare. Li Xie and his party traveled in simple clothes, so there was definitely no such thing as bows and arrows on the ship. But there are still some necessary things, such as long swords, harpoons.

So Li Xie just shouted a word of defense, and Dark Twenty immediately came back to his senses, commanded more than a dozen people under him, and quickly found harpoons and pointed them in the direction where the water bandits came.

Qi is a good thing, even if it is an ordinary weapon, in the hands of the qi person, it can exert far more lethality than usual. The harpoon is a very simple thing, but as long as it is fast enough and powerful enough, it can still easily break through the wooden plate of the ship. Sink the ships one by one.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the encirclement trend of the water bandits has formed a closed circle. Li Xie now either approached in the direction of the riverbank, or he could only watch himself being surrounded.

Li Xie and his entourage all have cultivation, and the so-called art masters are bold. Even if there are hundreds of people coming, Li Xie is absolutely confident that his boatload of people can fight their way out of the encirclement. It is precisely because of this confidence that Li Xie did not order to approach in the direction of the riverbank, but directly planned to kill him from this encirclement.

Since this is a group of robbers, then their purpose must be money. In other words, no matter how much they robbed, they would definitely not sink the ship. So they could only board their own ships to fight.

Now that he is on the boat, in front of Li Xie's group of more than a dozen people who have cultivated themselves, a group of water bandits is probably really not enough.

"Don't shoot, let them come closer, I'm going to see what they want? Brother Twenty, come forward and put everything away. Thinking of this, Li Xie immediately ordered them not to snipe at them and let their ships approach.

Soon, Li Xie's boat was surrounded by the boats of this group of bandits, and then ropes were thrown from the boat. After being trapped, the three of them easily boarded Li Xie's boat along the rope. As you can see from their agile skills, this is not a simple character. At least with the cultivation of a few of them, at most, they can only do such a thing.

"I don't know what's going on with you guys? We are just going back to our hometown together, and we don't have much money on board, so we can give it with both hands if you need it. Li Xie didn't come forward, secretly obeyed his words, and arched his hand to ask.

"It's not a big deal, someone paid to invite you to our cottage as a guest. A few please. This is as if he has completely taken Li Xie and them.

But that's understandable, unless you live on the riverbank all year round. Otherwise, there are really not many people in this era who can swim. This also gives these bandits a natural advantage - underwater warfare.

They who are familiar with water can exert 150% or even 200% of their combat effectiveness in this river, while others can only exert 50% or even less of their strength. The exertion of this kind of combat power is the source of their self-confidence, and with this kind of self-confidence, they will naturally be full of arrogance.

"I've long heard that the heroes in this area are bold! Presumably this is the second master, dare to ask the second master, I don't know who is so polite? It's just that several of us are in a hurry to return to our hometowns, and I'm afraid we won't be able to go to the meeting. ”

"I'm afraid you can't help it, either go back with us, or never leave."

"Dare to ask the second master, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding? I heard that heroes have never been willing to take people's lives, why are they so murderous to us? ”

"Either come with us, or stay here and feed the river god!"

Li Xie saw this man who was called the second master and did not deny it, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Li Xie saw it very clearly, and he would never be mistaken, so it was just a robber's, why did they leave themselves?

Who is so powerful that he can buy such a group of lawless people. Let them be willing to be a lackey and rob their own gang. And what exactly is their purpose? Just ask for a guest and be detained for a few days?

It is beneficial to follow them ashore, at least the combat effectiveness of this group of people on their side can be brought into full play. But it seems that the killing intent flashed in people's eyes, but Li Xie felt that things didn't seem to be so simple.

"Do it!" Li Xie saw that the two sides seemed to be deadlocked, and no longer hesitated. After snorting, he took the lead in attacking the three of them.

Li Xie had just left, and the three people who came together reacted quickly. They all turned around and jumped under the boat, and at the same time, everyone on the robber's boat who was quietly watching also jumped into the water at this time.

Seeing this scene, Li Xie knew that his ship was bound to be sunk by them: "I'm not good at fighting on the water, don't worry if I leave separately, and we will meet up when we get to the place." "When Li Xie got on the boat, he asked them when he heard that there were bandits near here.

Are they good at fighting on the water?

Dark Twenty replied that they had trained, although the words were very polite. Li Xie knew that they must be good at this.

It is also the purpose of their existence that was originally to hide, assassinate, and find out the news. Under this premise, they must be good at all kinds of combat methods.

So at this time, Li Xie, who cultivated the highest, became a burden to them. Watching hundreds of people jump into the water, only a handful of people remained on the boat.

Li Xie knew that his opportunity was in those boats. But if you go up so blatantly, it will definitely not be easy. So Li Xie had to rely on the secret twins to create some chaos with them.

Hearing this, Dark Twenty nodded, without hesitation, and whispered to the dozen or so people behind him: "Go into the water!" After saying that, dozens of people also jumped into the water. At the same time, Li Xie pulled Cao Ying, and the two turned around and returned to the cabin at a very fast speed.

Li Xie stood at the window of the boat, watching the river turn red after a dozen of them jumped. You know that they are engaged in a fierce fight below.

Soon a man floated up from the water: "Hard stubble! Come down and help. "There are waves on the water, but they are getting farther and farther away. At the same time, there were many people floating on the water, but they didn't get on the boat, and quickly swam in one direction.

It seems that the group of the Dark Twenty has escaped from the encirclement.
