Liu Defu is very talkative, the three of them ate this meal for more than an hour, and it was over, and a jar of wine was drunk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 During the info banquet, Hu Deji asked Liu Defu many times about the raw silk trade, but Liu Defu was vague.

In this way, Liu Defu and Ren Siqi became friends who forgot about the year, and the two often talked about the world together, or said some things about the wind and the moon, chanted a few crooked poems, and lived on the ship chic and happy.

The passenger ship sleeps overnight, and it will travel sixty or seventy miles a day. Two days later, the boat arrived in Shaoxing, and after resting for a night, the boatman went ashore in the morning to buy some grain and vegetables. Everyone got off the boat and walked around the docks.

Chen Nan, the man on the boat, also hurriedly got off the boat and left the dock quickly.

When he was about to do so, suddenly a man went up to the dock and asked for a boat.

The captain of the boat was very embarrassed, and repeatedly said that the ship was full and there was no place to live. The guest took out a waist tag and shook it in front of the boat boss, and the boat boss turned pale with fright, and had to let him get on the boat, he couldn't afford to mess with Jin Yiwei.

"Daddy, Xiao Nanzi hasn't come back yet." The daughter of the boat boss, Ying Niang, reminded the boat old avenue.

"What did he do?" The ship's face sank like water, and he didn't like this guy very much.

"He said he was going to see his cousin, who lives in Huiji County." Yingniang said, "Ah, he's back." ”

Chen Nan hurriedly boarded the boat under the scolding of the boat boss, untied the rope tied to the dock, and the passenger ship set off again.

At this time, the passenger ship was driving in the Hangzhou-Ningbo Canal, but the wind stopped, and there was no wind, the speed of the ship dropped down suddenly, and the boat boss had to take a few guys to plan the oars.

Ren Siqi stood by the railing of the boat outside the room, looking at the scenery in the distance, the river with white flowers in the distance, all kinds of boats driving in the canal, fishing boats, cargo ships, awning boats, convertible boats, standing on the second floor of the passenger ship, you can clearly see the faces of the boatmen on the boat traveling on the opposite side. In the distance, the mountains are like daisies, the green trees are verdant, and the rice waves on both sides of the canal are flying, and you can see the busy figures of farmers.

Standing on the boat, admiring the scenery on both sides of the strait, looking at the beautiful rivers and mountains, Ren Siqi, who was full of worries, had a lot of brightness in his heart.

It's a pity that Jin Yufei and Xiong Er are two incomprehensible goods. Xiong Er belongs to the character of sleeping when he is full, and he stays in bed more than when he gets up at the end of the day. Jin Yufei doesn't like to sleep, but holds a thousand-character text and reads it in his mouth every day.

Towards dark, the passenger boat stopped at an unknown ferry port. During the night, something big happened.

After kicking and waking up Xiong Er, who was snoring all day long, Ren Siqi finally entered his dream.

But Xiong Er, who had slept for most of the day during the day, couldn't sleep, stared at the roof pitifully with a pair of bear eyes, knowing that he didn't fall asleep at the third watch. I had to count the sheep, and after counting the sheep for a long time, when Xiong Er was about to fall asleep, the boat moved, as if many people had climbed onto the boat from the dock.

After these days, Xiong Er's vigilance has increased a lot, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

When he heard a faint scream outside, Xiong Er turned over and sat up, pushing Ren Siqi and Jin Yufei hard.

"What's wrong?" Ren Siqi opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that the cabin was dark, and he saw Xiong Er pushing himself again with the moonlight leaking through the crack in the door.

"Xiucai, things are not good, someone is on the boat." Xiong Er whispered.

Ren Siqi's drowsiness disappeared all of a sudden, and he got dressed a few times and took out the musket in the box. Xiong Er and Jin Yufei both picked up their weapons and stood beside Ren Siqi without saying a word.

Jin Yufei's weapon is a Japanese knife, and the narrow blade is very sharp. Xiong Er is strong, he doesn't like to use knives, and he holds a short stick about four feet long in his hand, and the thick rod head is wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, if you nail some nails, it will be a mace.

Ren Siqi and the three of them stood by the door, listening carefully to the movement outside.

I heard the commotion on the first floor, then the sound of fighting, and after a few screams, the sound disappeared.

Then the sound of the unkempt came from the stairs, and many people came to the second floor of the passenger ship. As mentioned earlier, the first floor is occupied by the boat boss's family and a few guys, and then there is the guest who boarded the boat at Huiji. And the second floor is full of guests.

The sound of "bang" and "bang" sounded, and the door of Liu Defu and Hu Deji and others next door was kicked open, and then there were screams and loud begging for mercy.

"Be careful!" Ren Siqi let Xiong Er ambush behind them, and stood in the middle of the room with Jin Yufei.

The light of the torch moved outside the room, and in a blink of an eye came to the door of Ren Siqi's room.

With a "bang", the door was kicked open, and three black-clad masked men with torches in their hands broke in.

A man in black is holding a torch in one hand and a steel knife in the other. The two masked men behind him were holding a short knife, and the other was holding a harpoon. When they saw Ren Siqi and Jin Yufei waiting in battle, the three of them were stunned for a moment.

The black-clothed masked man holding the torch suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the musket in Ren Siqi's hand incredulously.

In these years, those who can own firearms are either officials and soldiers or bandits, and he didn't expect to encounter hard stubble.

Just when the three black-clothed masked men were stunned, Xiong Er, who was hiding behind the door, was in trouble, raised a wooden stick, and smashed it on the back of the head of the black-clothed man holding the harpoon, and the black-clothed man fell to the ground without saying a word.

When another man in black with a short knife hurriedly turned around, Xiong Er raised his big foot and kicked him in the lower abdomen.

With a "dang bang", the short knife fell to the ground, and the man in black screamed and was kicked to the middle of the room, and before he could recover from it, Jin Yufei's knife was already on his neck.

In the blink of an eye, the two men in black were dealt with, and the man in black with a torch was still standing there in a daze.

"Throw the knife away, surrender." Ren Siqi said indifferently.

"What kind of gun are you? How is there no arquebus. The man in black suddenly asked such words.

"Oh, I didn't have time to pull out the arquebus." Ren Siqi said casually, he didn't need to explain to him that this was a flintlock pistol, and there was no need for an arquebus, balabala's.

Feeling that his hand was empty, the steel knife had been snatched by Xiong Er's hand, and a strong force came, and he was kicked over in the room like the previous man in black.

"Tie them all up." Ren Siqi picked up the torch and commanded.

Xiong Er and Jin Yufei found the rope and tied the three black-clothed men firmly in a few clicks.

Hearing the screams and begging for mercy coming from the next room, Ren Siqi thought for a moment and casually threw the torch in his hand through the door.

The torch crossed the space of five or six meters, rolled in the air and fell into the canal, and the room suddenly became dark again.
