Chapter 172: The River Bandits Robbed the Boat

[PS. Brothers~I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~]

-------

Moreover, it is a rapid depletion in a short period of time to have such an extreme withering state.

"Yuanyang is exhausted? how is it possible-" Ma Xuejiang repeated Xu Hao's words, his old face twitching, full of horror.

How can a powerful force cause such a passage of Yuan Yang?

Looking at Man Qiang's eyes, although the eye sockets have long been sunken, there is always deep fear, despair and indescribable pain in his eyes.

Now, even just staring into his eyes, touching his already frozen gaze makes people feel cold.

Ma Xuejiang hurriedly retracted his gaze, reached out and stroked his arm, only to feel cold teeth trembling, and his expression was slightly anxious, in short, he didn't want to stay here longer.

Xu Hao glanced at every part of Man Qiang's naked body, and finally turned his head and stared at Ma Xuejiang and said: "Just leave two people to deal with the aftermath, the fleet will leave immediately tomorrow morning, and it will not be peaceful in this Su City." ”

"Ahh

Walking out of the barracks and looking up, it was as if a dark cloud hung over the entire Sioux City.

The two immediately returned to the inn and went back to their rooms to rest.

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, the genius was bright, and the merchant group was ready to leave.

The ironclad merchant ship is as solid as a rock, and it is parked on the shore like a majestic hill, which is quite majestic.

"Huh?" Xu Hao frowned, his eyes showed anger, and the guards in his team were all listless, as if they hadn't slept for a few days.

Only Wu Chen, Song Xueli, Zhang Dongyi and a few other martial artists who live in a restaurant with him are normal.

"What's the matter with you!" he asked in a deep voice, his eyes shining. In such a state, let alone escorting merchant ships, even if you run a few more steps, your feet will be weak.

"Don't you know how Man Qiang died——? he died of Yuanyang's exhaustion!

"Huh...... Hey, hey, hey......" The guards scratched their heads, hehehe, sneered, their faces full of embarrassment, and they didn't dare to speak at all.

I had to keep my head down, like a child who made a mistake.

"A few of you are careful and even lose your lives——!" Xu Hao's voice was low, and he had even moved to kill, these people were completely unsuitable to serve as fleet guards, and in this case, they were not self-disciplined, they were completely undisciplined!

But now is not the time to hold accountable, everything has to wait until the delivery of goods is over.

After boarding the ship, he was only a passenger from beginning to end, and did not participate in any management discipline. But now it's different, something serious has happened to the ship.

I don't know if this happened by accident or for other reasons, but in short, it is not a good sign, and a bad premonition always hangs over my heart.

Especially after seeing the current situation of these guards, Xu Hao's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and if he stayed longer, he didn't know what moths would appear.

Boarding the ship, the ironclad merchant ship immediately started, riding the wind and waves, the speed is not slow, and leaving the place of right and wrong as soon as possible is the best policy.

Two days ago, the waterway was the confluence of the Tuoluo River and the Yunpu River, where the reeds were overgrown and there were many islands.

The water bandits are extremely powerful and numerous, among which the Shark Gang is the most famous, and it is said that there are nearly 10,000 gangs!

Of course, there is an element of exaggeration, but it can also be seen from the side the power of this gang.

"The owner. Ma Xuejiang came to the deck with a smile, Xu Hao always likes to stay on the deck during other rest times except for meditating and practicing in his own room.

It was quite relaxing to bask in the sun and look at the scenery.

Time passed, the fog gradually rose, and the river bank widened. At some point, the hazy scenery on both sides of the river could no longer be seen on the ship.

It seems to be sailing on a calm sea, cleaving the waves.

"Huh?" However, Xu Hao frowned tightly, the fog was really a bit too big, not only covering the surface of the river, but also the visibility was extremely low. Even as a warrior, it is difficult to see far with strong eyesight.

"The owner. It's foggy outside, so let's go back to the cabin. Ma Xuejiang walked over and never forgot to pat the horse's ass.

"It's almost close to the Sharks' sphere of influence, even though we've already paid the gift. But we can't be careless, there are likely to be small groups of water bandits coming to harass, which we have long been accustomed to. ”

"Oh?" Xu Hao raised his eyebrows, and now he had actually arrived at the famous flooded area.

"The confluence of the Tuoluo River and the Yunpu River, the convergence of the two big rivers, flows straight to the east to form the Tuoyun River, here as the widest part of the intersection is dozens of miles, that is, the river is also a lake, the water condition is complex and unmanaged. ”

"Okay. Xu Hao nodded, this fog is indeed too big, and there is nothing to look at if it stays on the deck.

He went straight back to the room and sat cross-legged, although the boat was narrow and could not be refined, he could still meditate and cultivate.

Swallowing precious wild herbs every day can ensure that the body is full of blood and qi.

Half an hour, when Xu Hao was sitting quietly and guiding the source qi to circulate the meridians around his body, a sharp roar suddenly sounded outside!

"Whoa—"

The red light of the sky bloomed! Immediately after, bursts of gongs and drums erupted, and there was a lot of noise in all directions.

"What's going on?" he stopped his luck and got up.

However, as soon as I stood up, I felt the whole ship shake, and the sound of banging continued!

"Enemy attack!" Suddenly, a terrible roar sounded! It was Ma Xuejiang's voice, and as his voice fell, there were immediately guards on the ship who lit torches and fired crossbows at the same time.

Right now, dozens of small boats quietly appeared, crashing into their own merchant ships. At the same time, the figure on the boat flung upwards with a rope hook, and then climbed upwards like an ape.

"Whoosh!"

Everyone in the ship ran out of the cabin, their crossbows in hand, and they shot downward.

However, the enemy is also attacking upwards, and the crossbow arrows are flooding, although they do not occupy a geographical advantage, they are extremely numerous and the momentum is very fast.

"Damn! it's a water bandit!" Wu Chen, as the leader of the guard, held a bow and crossbow in his hand, desperately attacking the enemy. It's a pity that many of his subordinates are weak and slow to move.

Song Xueli, Zhang Dongyi and Kong Shijie also scolded, their eyes were about to break, but to no avail. Gradually, more and more small boats crashed into the merchant ships, and the thump continued.

In the thick fog, even if the enemy has lit the torches, the number is not countable, and the posture should be at least more than a thousand.

Cutting the rope hook has no effect on the massive river bandits at all, it's a big deal to fall into the water, swim up and continue to climb!

Xu Hao also walked to the top of the boat, stood beside Ma Xuejiang and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? So many people are the small group of water bandits in your mouth? Haven't you dealt with the bull ghosts and snake gods here?"

"Boss, I don't know. This is not the little water bandit I am talking about......" Ma Xuejiang was already a little flustered, muttering aggrievedly, the situation was completely beyond his expectations.
