There are a total of eight people on Chen Youyi's side, the number of people on Boss Zhao's merchant ship is about the same as on his side, and there are only four thugs on the fruit merchant's side and a total of five people on the fruit merchant's side.

As soon as he got on the boat, the fruit merchant came over and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Madame to decide to go for herself." ”

Chen Youyi didn't say anything, just smiled in return, "Yes, you still have to take a look for yourself to rest assured." ”

The two didn't say much, they both knew the dangers ahead, and it was useless to say more, and they had to face it themselves in the end.

Chen Youyi did a good job in his mall, looked around at the surrounding environment, and made sure that the environment here was not bad, and then Wang Da ordered people to drive the boat slowly.

Chen Youyi took advantage of Wang Da's lack of notice, and tasted a dagger in a corner of the merchant ship, which was the closest to her.

This merchant ship is divided into two parts, one part is the front end, eating and drinking tea are in the front, and the rest is also there, there is a door in the middle of the separation, the rear end of the ship is where Chen Youyi sleeps and rests, usually Wang Da and the crew are resting outside, only Chen Youyi is alone in the back of the ship, and there are also some important belongings here, and Chen Youyi's personal things.

After calculating the time, it takes three days to get from here to Zhao State, and in these three days, you may have to go through many essentials, and even a long period of time is no man's land, in this kind of place is the easiest to encounter bandits, plus Zhao State and Chen State have been fighting continuously in the past two years.

Many ordinary people couldn't live, so they went up to the mountains to become bandits, so in the past two years, the bandits in the mountains have been extremely active, which makes the passing merchant ships extra careful.

On this day, it was getting late, a layer of mist rose on the surface of the river, and the road ahead became more and more blurred, but fortunately this was a waterway, and most of the time at night it would move slowly in the direction of the current, and during the day it would be faster.

Chen Youyi checked the things around him, and listened to Wang Da talk about the weather outside, "I have already instructed someone to tie our two merchant ships together with a rope, and the rope at the other end is tied together with the rope of Boss Zhao in front, and Boss Zhao also agreed, so that everyone will not be separated, and they will also take care of each other." ”

Chen Youyi's eyes looked out and asked with some curiosity, "Is it necessary to be so cautious?" I think it's just a layer of fog, and it's still nice outside. ”

"If you look at it from a distance, it's really good, but if you can see it from here, the scenery outside is getting more and more blurred, and Boss Zhao also reminded me, don't look at the fog now, and the whole river will be shrouded in fog later, and we won't see anything at that time, so it's better for us to be careful."

Listening to Wang Da's words, Chen Youyi nodded, after all, it was the first time for him to take a boat to Jiangnan like this, and he didn't know much about the situation here, so it was more appropriate to follow their advice with Boss Zhao's reminder.

Chen Youyi finished preparing some food, and after a simple meal, she sat in the boat, picked up pen and ink and began to write some of her future business plans.

About two hours later, when it was almost time to go to bed, I put down the pen and rubbed my eyes, lifted the curtain on the side and looked outside, and was taken by the scenery outside.

As Wang Da said, the fog outside was amazing, and there was only a short rope between his two merchant ships, but he couldn't see the ship when he sat in this position, and when he looked around, the merchant ships of Boss Zhao and the fruit merchant had already been lost in the mist.

If there was only one merchant ship, Chen Youyi would definitely be worried, but fortunately, they had prepared early in the morning, and connected several merchant ships one by one with ropes, and the current ships were slowly moving down the current, and the speed was not very fast, so Chen Youyi's heart was also slightly settled.

Returning to the boat, he glanced at Wang Da again to make sure that there was nothing wrong, and Chen Youyi was ready to take a rest.

After lying down, he slowly fell asleep with the light transmission and the creaking sound of the oars, thinking that it would be a peaceful night, and he would be able to reach the border of Zhao in another day.

But who knows, in the middle of the night, Chen Youyi was suddenly woken up by a loud scream, and sat up in fright, "What happened?" She shouted outside, and Wang Da responded outside, "I heard Boss Zhao say that it seems that I have encountered bandits, but I haven't seen their ship yet, Boss Zhao motioned for us to be quiet." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Youyi heard a few men shouting heavily, as if they were shouting at this side, the voice of the voice was not realistic for the people on their merchant ship, and they were looking at several other thugs, all of them were very vigilant, Chen Youyi guessed that the people who shouted should be the bandits' ships.

Fortunately, there was a lot of fog outside, and those bandits didn't know the specific location of the merchant ships, and they didn't dare to rush in, but just shouted and screamed there, trying to rely on things to disrupt the rhythm of the merchant ships.

Chen Youyi sat on the side of the boat and listened calmly, but cold sweat had already broken out in her palms, she turned over and came to her resting place, and put the dagger in her sleeve, although she knew that it might not be of much use, but at least she could make herself more steady.

The fog outside was very big, Chen Youyi originally thought that with such a big fog, those bandits' ships should not dare to come over easily, or their merchant ships would take the opportunity to leave here quickly.

But who knew that it didn't take long for a dark shadow to come over here, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a ship, and this ship was not the merchant ship of Boss Zhao and the fruit merchant.

The next second, the thug he hired screamed and pulled out the long knife in his arms, and swung it at the boat, as if trying to force them back, and the thug kept rowing, hoping to distance himself from the bandit's boat as soon as possible.

Chen Youyi not only began to sweat in her palms, but also began to sweat on her forehead, and the cold river breeze blew on her cheeks, which did not let these sweats go down at all, but became more and more.

"Madam, sit on the boat quickly, and don't come out no matter what happens." Wang Da reminded him and wanted Chen Youyi to retreat to the boat.

But Chen Youyi knew that if these bandits got on the ship, it would be useless for him to retreat into the merchant ship, so it was better to take a look at the scene here, maybe he could help something.

The bandits' ship was bigger than their merchant ship, and seeing that it was about to collide, Chen Youyi's heart moved, and immediately called Wang Da, "Bring over the jars of things I asked you to bring up when I uploaded them." ”
