Ruan Qi is a water bandit, and what he hates most in this life is that his parents did not add a small word between Ruan and Qizi, because this can be linked to his idol―――――― although this idol only started chasing after he knew that his name was only one word different from Ruan Xiaoqi.

After following his idol and embarking on the road of "heroes" on the water, Ruan Qi has never done anything big, and he usually just robs some small merchant ships and fishing boats, because he has always only been involved in cases between Hekou Town and Fuchi Town, and has never done any major cases, so the local government has never taken them seriously.

Ruan Qi is also very smart, when he robs a merchant ship or a fishing boat, as long as he grabs something, he will never hurt the people on the boat, even if he doesn't grab anything, at most he will be beaten or something.

In this way, the local government will not take them seriously, and the chaotic party can't prevent it in these years, where will they care about these small water bandits who are not in the climate.

It's just that today, this leader, who has always been just a blower in the eyes of his subordinates, didn't know what medicine he took wrong today, and he actually took them to rob the river ship...

The river boat, that is the river boat, the river boat of hundreds or thousands of tons, is not a small sampan fishing boat in the ordinary world, and even these illiterate old people understand that the fishing boats and merchant ships will not pay attention to them, but if the river boat is moved...

In these years, not everyone has opened a shipping company, even if they are not foreigners in the background, they are powerful people, and whether they are walking on the sea or on the river these days, almost all of them will have some guns on the ship, and there may be more people with guns on a river ship of about 1,000 tons than all of them...

"Alas..."Looking at the hesitant looks of his subordinates, Ruan Qi smiled bitterly in his heart.

If it had been put in the past, he would not have dared to rob the steamer on the river if he had ten guts, but who told him to lose a lot of money in the gambling house some time ago? The backstage power of the gambling house is quite large, don't look at the more than 20 guns under him, and he can't even compare with others. What's more, most of the more than 20 guns are shotguns, and there are less than 10 of them made by Hanyang, and they are all second-hand.

Ruan Qi planned to run away after completing this ticket, and after returning the money owed to the gambling house, he also knew what kind of people were in the background of those who could run a shipping company, if they moved other people's ships and didn't run, they were really looking for death.

Of course, what Ruan Qi said on the surface is still very beautiful, what will lead them to make a big deal and make a big career or something.

Because the more than 20 people under Ruan Qi were all brought out by him personally, although he was a little hesitant to rob the Jiang Lun, he still had no objection in the end.

However, Ruan Qi also knew what kind of people under him were, so he just turned his gaze to a small leader under him.

Wang Er, a sturdy young man in his twenties, had the best kung fu and marksmanship under his hands.

This kid was originally a hunter in the nearby mountains, and he had an accident while hunting, and he was seriously injured and dying, and I don't know if it was because of a miracle, Ruan Qi, who would not blink even if someone starved to death in front of him, actually rescued him and brought him back to the cottage with the property he had just robbed, so Ruan Qi had another loyal subordinate.

It's just that it's the same as Lu Bu who has Gao Shun but doesn't need it, although Wang Er wants to repay his kindness, Ruan Qi is not very at ease with him. Of course, Ruan Er and Lu Bu are incomparable, and even the hooves of the Red Rabbit Horse can't be compared.

The reason why Ruan Qi was not at ease with Wang Er was because after he was put into his hands, Wang Er was quick to follow him because of his good kung fu, good marksmanship, and righteousness, and formed a small group in Ruan Qi's water bandit group, so although Wang Er wanted to repay Ruan Qi's life-saving grace, Ruan Qi became more and more suspicious of him.

The boss may be like this, hoping that his subordinates will be loyal and capable, but when such subordinates appear, they begin to suspect that this subordinate will unite with other subordinates to overthrow him.

However, in any case, Wang Er and his small group were the strongest in Ruan Qi's water bandit group, but no one, including Ruan Er, doubted this.

"Wang Er, it's up to you this time." Ruan Qi, who had already made up his mind to run away after finishing this vote, patted Wang Er on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, Chief." Wang Er, who didn't know this, nodded, and then went with his subordinates to prepare.

This time, Ruan Qi was eyeing the passenger ferry that Yan Guang and they were on, the Yichang ship of the British Jardine Matheson...

With a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, it can accommodate more than 700 passengers, and I don't know if Ruan Qi has eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard and dared to fight the idea of this ship...

After all his subordinates had dispersed to make preparations, Ruan Qi picked up the usual Hanyang made with a hideous face.

"There's no turning back, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't see blood this time..."

――――――――――

At night, Yan Guang, who was "rubbing" with two accountants + a bodyguard, just like the other sailors and passengers on the ship, did not know that at this moment, a small gang of sailors with only more than 20 people was targeting them, and even the sailors who were originally in charge of guarding were napping.

The Yangtze River is a matter of great importance, and the government and the British have long ploughed this place like a plough, and wiped out all the water bandits of a slight scale, leaving only trash fish like Ruan Qi still fighting a little. For trash fish like Ruan Qi, not to mention that the government and even the British don't bother to pay attention to it, but they don't know that trash fish are sometimes capable of doing big things, and now Ruan Qi wants to do a big thing that shocks the whole country.

After learning the departure time of the Yichang ship, Ruan Qi had already taken his men to hide on the shore.

After nightfall, the Yichang ship reduced its speed, so that even if something unexpected happened, it would be better to have a turnaround, after all, this is the Yangtze River, not the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and if something happens, there is not much room for maneuver. But the captain didn't know that this time the sudden situation was a water bandit, the speed of the Yichang ship was only more than ten kilometers per hour, and now a reduction in speed provided convenience for Ruan Qi.

After noticing that the target had appeared, Ruan Qi and his men rowed the boat together to meet it, and then hooked the guardrail of the passenger ship with a rope hook, and forced his small boat to get close to the passenger ship. Perhaps he had never encountered an abnormal situation, and until now the sailor in charge of the guard did not notice the situation, and was still napping in his position.

Secretly relieved, Ruan Qi climbed up with his men, and then ran quickly in the direction of the bridge, intending to control the bridge first.

I don't know if Yan Guang has turned his fortune after coming to this world, and he has never lost once as long as he is gambling money, and the three subordinates who are rubbing with him are even more deeply affected, each of which lost to Yan Guang 5 or 6 silver horns, according to the estimation of one of the accountants, if it goes on like this, let alone this month's salary in Shanghai, it is already very good to be able to stick it to Yan Guang.

Just when the accountant and the bodyguard had already lost and their faces turned blue, they suddenly heard a muffled sound of "bells" from the hull of the ship.

Yan Guang and they didn't care, this Yichang ship is also one of the few big ships on the Yangtze River, and it can't sink it in a general collision, and the sound just now is not very loud, maybe it just hit a wooden plank or an abandoned fishing boat that floated down or something.

In fact, the sound that Yan Guang heard just now was the sound of Ruan Qi and the small boat tied to the guardrail colliding with the passenger ferry, but the people on the boat were the same as Yan Guang and them, thinking that the boat had hit something floating down, so they were still there to do something.

But as a gunshot crossed the river, Yan Guang knew that things were not so simple.

"Give." Yan Guang took out two pistols from the suitcase he was carrying, and after throwing one to each of the two bodyguards, he pinned two for himself, and then threw the last one to a relatively large accountant.

"You guys follow me, let's go out and have a look." Yan Guang knew that if something really happened, he would be stuck in the cabin and waiting for death, so he decided to take a few subordinates out to see the situation, but at this time Yan Guang still didn't think anything big would happen, until...

A bullet grazed Yan Guang's nose, and with a scream, Yan Guang fell back into the cabin.

"Boss, boss, are you alright?" Several of his subordinates hurriedly rushed up.

"It's fine." Yan Guang stood up and touched his nose. "That scream wasn't mine."

But thinking about the feeling of the bullet flying by his nose just now, Yan Guang was so angry that he actually leaned out and fired five or six shots at the place where the bullet flew just now, until there was another scream, Yan Guang remembered that he hadn't figured out the identity of the person who shot him.

"I hope it's not a sailor or an ordinary passenger, otherwise I'll have to throw the gun into the water and pretend to be innocent..."Thinking in his heart, Yan Guang poked his head out to see if there was anyone else.

At this time, the passengers in the other cabins also heard the gunshots and screams, but the passengers with guns on the ship were a minority after all, so almost every passenger hid in the cabin and did not come out, so there was no one in the corridor outside.

"It's strange, this should be the dress of a water bandit..."

An accountant also walked out after seeing Yan Guang walk out, and looked at the corpse lying on the ground under the light with some hesitation.

"And that one is the sailor?" Yan Guang pointed to the corpse on the other side, but after seeing the sailor's clothes, he was sure.

Although he was glad that he hadn't killed innocent people just now, Yan Guang shuddered at the thought that there were bandits on the boat.

"You guys come with me, let's go to a safe place first." As he spoke, Yan Guang ran to the body of the bandit. "Made in Hanyang?" Picking up the gun in the corpse's hand, Yan Guang threw him to another accountant who didn't have a gun.

"Quick, help me throw the corpse into the river." After throwing the body into the river, several people left the sailors on the other side, who were also lying on the ground, and ran in the direction of the stern.

At this moment, there were more gunshots and screams from the ship, and it looked like several more people had been shot.

At this time, almost all the passengers on the ship knew that something was wrong on the ship...

And at this time, Ruan Qi and they had already controlled the telegraph on the bridge and passenger ship, and in this era before mobile phones, the ship was already under their control...
