Chapter 113: A Critical Moment
The prince shook his head, "It's too stuffy inside, I'll be able to breathe." ”
Kang Yuche saw that the prince's face was not very good-looking, and it was not good to be stubborn, so he had to let go, but he still didn't feel at ease when he thought about it, so he followed.
There were also a few people chatting on the bow deck. The prince did not join them, but watched the waves on the edge of the boat, like a silly child, who was still interested in them.
Kang Yuche walked up to him and didn't say a word, just leaned over and stood together. The prince felt that there was someone next to him, and when he looked up, he was almost frightened by Kang Yuche's extremely close face, and fell into the water.
"Your Highness is so interested. Here, looking for fish? ”
The prince straightened his clothes and gave Kang Yuche a blank look.
The river is quiet, and only this boat pushes the river away and moves forward quietly. The cold wind blows in the winter night, making people shiver. Such a quiet and cold cold night reminded Kang Yuche, who was standing in a daze, of the heavy snow on the mountain that year, and the hardships and pain of night after night.
"Okay, let's go inside." The prince looked at Kang Yuche in front of him, his interest decreased a lot, and he planned to compromise and follow him back to the cabin.
Kang Yuche didn't come back to his senses, and he was quite interested by something that flickered in the distance, and he propped himself up on the edge of the boat, trying to see clearly.
It traveled very fast in the water, and if it weren't for the faint ripples, it would have been difficult to notice at all, Kang Yuche looked to the side, one, two, many, he suddenly realized what was going on, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Highness, water bandits, there are water bandits." He picked up the prince and ran into the cabin, but there were only a few people in the cabin, sitting or lying down. He glanced at the group of people, but did not see Du Ruo and them.
There was no time to look for them, so he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Water bandits, there are water bandits, boatmen, quickly release the signal for help, dock." ”
There was a mess in the cabin and on the outer deck. People are not running to tell each other, but more often they are running with panic and exclamations.
A puff of smoke rose from the mast of the cabin, but in the night, it was not clear to see, and no bright signal smoke rose. Kang Yuche suddenly understood, presumably this was a conspiracy between the inside and the outside.
"What should I do?" The prince asked Kang Yuche with a frown, looking only slightly nervous, and did not show signs of panic.
Kang Yuche pointed to the box in the corner of the cabin, "Hide first, they are just asking for money, we just cooperate, don't cause trouble." He knew that as long as the water bandits got satisfactory money, they would not kill people at will, nor would they kidnap people for extortion, after all, there were too many variables in the waterways, and they only wanted to be fast, and they would not make trouble for themselves.
The prince nodded, and as soon as he stepped into the box, he heard the sound of arrows hitting the planks outside, and a series of terrifying exclamations and screams.
Kang Yuche covered the box and covered it with a linen cloth on the side, but he also knew that this would not hide the prince, and the ship was so big that it would soon be able to search for all the people. He did this only to show that the prince was powerless to resist.
The bandits quickly boarded the ship, and they grabbed Kang Yuche in the cabin and escorted him to the bow deck. There were many people, some sobbing quietly, some sighing, and some with their eyes closed, not knowing whether they didn't want to see or had fainted.
Kang Yuche looked around, but still didn't see Du Ruo, but he aimed at Qin Yecheng, who was squatting at the very front of the bow, and pretended to be unsteady and stumbled towards his position.
When Qin Yecheng saw him, he whispered to him: "Du Ruo and they were caught in the stern, he told me not to act rashly. ”
Kang Yuche nodded, just like he thought.
The people who were hiding in various parts of the cabin were slowly pulled out one by one, and soon the prince was also taken out, and was carried by two strong men and thrown into the pile of people on the deck.
The bandits outside began to search their bodies one by one, and forced everyone to hand over all their money by punching and kicking.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, the prince moved to Kang Yuche's side, "What about the county lord Yufei?" ”
This question exploded above Kang Yuche's head, and he looked at the prince and panicked in his heart.
"Yo, this girl is quite handsome, I've rewarded you." Not far away, there was the light and prodigal laughter of the water bandits, and a fierce-looking water bandit dragged out a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl from the crowd.
"Don't, please, how much do you want......" An old couple grabbed the girl alive and begged, crying and begging.
Kang Yuche felt the prince's body move, and quickly grabbed his hand, "Don't act rashly." ”
The bandits laughed loudly, taking advantage of the girl, and at the same time punching and kicking the old couple, and finally the old couple couldn't bear the beating, so they had to let go. I could only watch the girl being dragged into the cabin by two or three bandits......
Qin Yecheng also got up slightly. Kang Yuche pulled one on the side.
The old couple obviously refused to stop there, and used all their strength, hitting and biting, knocking a way out of the bandits, and rushing towards their daughter...... But before they could hold their daughter's hand, the cold light flashed, and a burst of bloody gas spread on the deck, and they fell down one after another, still looking at their daughter reluctantly in their eyes.
"Ah, Dad, mother......" The girl was heartbroken, and she crashed into the murderous bandit regardless of it, and slashed her neck, and she fell together with her father.
Everyone on the deck held their breath, and even the sobbing sounded much quieter. These people are ordinary people, many of them have never been touched by blood in their lives, and the scene in front of them is enough to make them so frightened that they dare not make any sound.
The moon hid in the clouds, and in the thick night, the lights next to the three corpses flickered on and off, which looked particularly strange and terrifying.
But the murderous bandit didn't feel a trace of fear, he wiped his knife clean with the girl's clothes, and then stepped on the corpse like a trophy, and looked around the terrified people on the deck proudly, "You'd better all be obedient, or ......"
"Big brother, big brother...... someone in the cabin shouted, and the voice drowned out the one who spoke, "Big brother, there are good things to honor you." ”
The leader of the bandits put away the knife he had just killed, and squeezed the horizontal flesh on his face together, "What good thing?" ”
"This is the best in the world." The bandit flashed back and pushed a man out of the cabin.
The leader of the bandits glanced at it and laughed insolently, "Hahaha, it's really the best, I took it." ”
The prince looked around, and the person he pushed out was actually Kang Yufei.
I saw Kang Yufei being gagged, with a rope tied to his wrist, and he was glaring at the bandit leader angrily.
The crown prince wanted to get up, but he was still dragged by Kang Yuche, "Your Highness, don't act rashly." ”
Reckless? The prince was angry and rushed to his head, "Can you watch her ......?"
Kang Yuche shook his head desperately at the prince. At this moment, he was naturally anxious, but he also knew that the prince's life was much more important than Kang Yufei's.
