Before they could react, in the white smoke, ten spears poked out of the smoke at once, and a few "poofs" sounded into the flesh, and at least six water bandits were stabbed through.

"Bang", "Bang"

Liu Ximing and the others' muskets also shot together, although the vision was blocked by smoke, but they successfully intimidated the other party, except for a few of the bandits who were not afraid of death and wanted to rush forward, the rest of them all ran down the stairs down the cabin.

Four of the guards were all cut down by the bandits before, but fortunately there was a fish scale armor to protect them, except for the one who was cut on his back, the other three were only slightly injured, Liu Ximing left Su Yan and the most seriously injured person in the cabin, and rushed out with thirteen people himself.

In order to form a fire suppression, Liu Xi ordered to load more than a dozen muskets into the space, and when they were used, they could just take out and shoot, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the other ten guards with guns rushed and drove the bandits down from the second floor.

"Light the fire, light the fire, burn them to death!"

Zhao Si was stunned by Liu Ximing's operation, and he was so angry that he yelled wildly.

As soon as Liu Ximing heard this, his heart was about to suffer, he slowly walked to the fence on the second floor and looked down, and saw that the deck was empty, and the two bandits were also tightly tied to the passenger ship.

He estimated the distance from the second floor to the bandit ship on the left, and found that the distance in a straight line should not exceed a kilometer, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Liu Ximing first took out a barrel of fifty catties of gunpowder from the space, stuffed it into a fire rope and lit it, and when the fire rope burned to the same level, he put the powder keg into the space at once, and then took it out in an instant.

The powder keg immediately fell towards the bandits' boat, and was detonated in mid-air.

"Boom"

A huge roar, several times louder than the previous bomb, sounded on the Jialing River, accompanied by a raging fire immediately ignited on the bandit boat.

The shock wave from the explosion of the powder keg pushed the passenger ship and another ship to a rock, and the two nearby bandits were even shocked to the point of bleeding from their noses and mouths.

Liu Ximing and the others hid in the cabin when the explosion occurred, but they were still dizzy from the shock, and it took a while to recover.

He immediately led everyone to the outside of the cabin on the second floor, and looked in the direction of the bandit ship, only to see that the entire ship had begun to burn, and it was obvious that it could not be extinguished.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen that my thing is extremely powerful, if you dare to order the boat, then we will all die together, and then see if it is your life or our life."

Zhao Si and the other water bandits were already speechless with horror at this time, the previous bomb only injured a few people, but it was not so powerful.

The water bandits didn't dare to squeak anymore, and they all looked at Zhao Si, waiting for him to make an idea.

Zhao Si's face was bitter, after he weighed it, he saw that there was no fighting spirit in everyone's eyes, so he had no choice but to say loudly: "Ahem, Liu, Liu Gongzi, everything is easy to say, you put away this guy first, so as not to miss it." ”

Liu Ximing heard the panic in his tone, and asked mockingly: "What, this master agrees with what Liu said?" ”

The bandits were silent again.

After a long time, Zhao Si sighed and replied: "Liu Gongzi is a step ahead, we admit it, let's leave, but you are not allowed to take the opportunity to hurt people, and you have to put away those bird guns." ”

"That's natural, it's really a life and death for you to fight hard, I don't want to see Lord Yama so early."

Several bandits probed out from under the hatch and tentatively ran towards the ship on the right.

There are still about twenty bandits left, and if they really want to fight for their lives, they may not be able to resist the guards, Liu Ximing did not dare to take risks, so he could only watch the bandits retreat to their ships one by one.

"Dare to ask the name of the master?" Liu Ximing stood outside the cabin on the second floor and asked loudly.

Zhao Si hesitated for a moment, and replied pretending to be tough: "Okay, don't change your name, don't change your surname, Lao Tzu is from Bailongzhai, this time you can bear it, don't let us run into you next time." ”

"Hahaha, don't send it if you go slowly."

Seeing that the water bandits' boats were gradually moving away, everyone on the boat breathed a sigh of relief, Li Biao and the others hurriedly went downstairs to check the situation of the bow and others, while Liu Ximing stood at the fence on the second floor, looking at the water bandits' boats.

Zhao Si was also standing at the bow of the boat at this time, he and Liu Ximing looked at each other, and a complex emotion came out of his eyes.

In the past, it was not a time when there were no misses, but it was because there were more people than them, but they had never encountered a situation like today.

Hearing Li Biao come up and say that the bow and the others were still alive, Liu Ximing hurriedly went downstairs to check.

As soon as he saw him, the bow of the ship immediately cried: "Master, we can't afford such a toss, or you can find another ship." ”

Liu Ximing knew that this person was frightened, so he helped him up and said: "You heard it just now, these people have retreated, I will compensate you for the loss of your ship, and send us to Shunqing to turn back, what is there to be afraid of." ”

The bow of the boat shook its head like a broken wave drum, and he almost knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, who knows if there are any chasing soldiers behind, the small ones are old and young, I really don't dare, please be merciful and let us go." ”

A group of sailors on the ship also begged for mercy, and Liu Ximing couldn't persuade them no matter how much he persuaded him, so he had to agree to let them get off the ship in Li'an Town in front.

In order to compensate for their losses, Liu Ximing gave an extra ten taels of silver in addition to the ship's fare, making this group of people constantly apologize and thank.

After a battle, Liu Ximing killed dozens of people here, and only a few people were injured, Liu Ximing himself couldn't believe it, fortunately there was space to hang out, otherwise where would ordinary people come from so many tricks to resist.

Li'an Town, where the boat was parked, was not far from Shunqing Mansion, and there happened to be two traveling doctors passing by in the town, Liu Ximing and others carried a few injured guards to find them and put some gold sore medicine, and bandaged them again, fortunately, there were fish scale armor to protect them, and the injuries of these people were not too serious.

Seeing that there were a lot of boats passing by in the town, a group of people easily found a passenger boat to Shunqing Mansion after eating, the boss of the ship saw that they were carrying a few wounded, in line with the idea of not causing trouble, some did not want to take this job, and finally Liu Ximing and others pretended to be fierce soldiers to scare him, and a group of people took the boat to continue to Fucheng leisurely.

It is estimated that it takes a lot of time for these bandits to go back and forth, and the rest of the road is calm.

But Liu Ximing is still a little strange, how did these bandits find themselves and others?

Su Yan thought for a while and guessed, "Could it be the gang of officials from Dingyuan County?" There are so many ships in the past, and in the past, the county Yana people generally guarded at the wharf and other places, but they have never encountered this kind of boat by boat. ”

Liu Ximing suddenly became silent, if it was really Huang Hongyi, then the power of the Huang family should not be underestimated, black and white can be commanded by his family, I don't know if the Huang family will use some means after learning of today's failure.

Now that I think about it, I was really impulsive when I saved Yu Qiaoman that day, I could have taken Qiaoman away, why kick that old bastard again, it's really fucking unlucky.

It took almost an hour.

"Guest, the city is almost here," the captain shouted at the bow of the ship to everyone in the cabin.

The newly leased passenger ship by Liu Ximing and others is also a two-story two-masted passenger ship, and a group of people moved when they heard the sound and went out of the cabin to see what was going on.

Liu Ximing stood at the bow of the boat, thinking that he would go to the city to pick up Dou Yuquan and go to Liujia Village, he hurriedly ordered everyone to change the clothes on their bodies into ordinary civilian clothes, and found a few boatmen's hats to bring with them.

The passenger boat swayed and docked at the East Gate Wharf of Shunqing Mansion, Liu Ximing left Zhang Yuanlong and a few people on the boat to take care of the wounded, and he took Li Biao and others to hide in the crowd and touch the city.

Thinking of the powerful reconnaissance ability of those people, Liu Ximing was very careful all the way, picking small alleys and drilling around.

When he arrived at Dou Yuquan's house, seeing that there was no one around, Liu Ximing hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.

"Who is it?" Dou Yuquan's vigilant voice came.

Liu Ximing heard his voice and didn't look like something was happening, and his nervousness eased, if the gang found out that Tang Xiuyuan also discovered Dou Yuquan, it would be the worst situation.

"It's me, Liu Ximing", he quickly replied.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded in the courtyard, the door creaked open, and before Dou Yuquan was happy, Liu Ximing took his hand and entered the courtyard, and Li Biao and the others also flashed in.
