Chapter 151: Jiang Bandits
Gu Chengyu said as he pondered. It's impossible for those people to rush up like that. I can't say that there is their internal response on this ship. Maybe someone sneaked in before, after all, they weren't the only boat on the river before, didn't there be a boat carrying passengers yesterday, very close to them?
Swim in the water, and then get on the boat while people are not looking. Hide in any corner, no one knows.
"How do I know if what you're saying is true?" The boat boss looked at Gu Chengyu's dress, but he really looked like a scholar. However, he still couldn't believe that there would be any bandits.
Gu Chengyu was also angry, "I'm full, come to make fun of you?" I'm not that idle. If you find someone to prepare, you don't need to spend money, in case it is true, our whole ship will die. I still want to live! ”
The boss of the boat saw that Gu Chengyu's expression did not seem to be fake, and he also believed it a little.
"And how far are they? I told the boatmen to drive faster, can I get rid of them? ”
"Their boat is smaller than ours, and it's very fast, and we won't be able to escape. Now on the river, even if you want to get to the shore, you can't do it. ”
"Then I'll call someone." He was going to go to the second captain of the boat to discuss countermeasures.
Gu Chengyu was afraid that he would make a noise, and when the time came, he should have known about it, wouldn't that be a disaster? "Wait!"
The boat boss had already run a few steps away, but when Gu Chengyu called him like this, he immediately paused, "What?" Don't tell me, you're joking. ”
Gu Chengyu didn't care about the ship's boss's unkind face, "You just go to the boat to preach everywhere, what if there are those Jiang bandits' accomplices on the boat?" Sneak in and get some good ones to get their bows ready before the ship gets close. By the way, do you have any oil-soaked hemp? Rockets should be on standby, right? ”
Gu Chengyu planned to attack from a distance first, shoot the rocket over, and set the opponent's ship on fire, and the gang would definitely abandon the ship. When the time comes, they will definitely swim to this side of the boat, let the good ones wait by the boat, and whoever wants to climb up will be hacked to death.
The captain of the ship is also a well-informed person, and he has not encountered such a situation. When he was young, he walked the boat and encountered river bandits, so he naturally had rockets on board.
"Yes! You wait here, I'll go find someone. The captain said, and hurried to the cabin.
Gu Chengyu looked at that place again, and saw that the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster. Suddenly, all the candles on the ship were extinguished. Oops, are those bandits trying to sneak up on their boat and swim ashore out of the water?
Gu Chengyu hurriedly ran to the room, he had to call Sun Xian and Mingmo up. No, the whole ship has to be called, and everyone must work together to fight the Jiang bandits. He didn't want to wake up the guests on the boat, because most of them were helpless, and some of them were old and weak, women and children, and they might not be able to help in any way except scream, and even drag them back.
But after thinking about it, he still didn't think it would work. If you don't call them, you may be even more flustered at that time.
Gu Chengyu ran into the room, woke up Ming Mo and Ming Yan, told them about the Jiang bandits, and asked them to wake up the people on the boat, and told them not to shout loudly, so as not to alarm the Jiang bandits. As for Neiying, he can't control it now, it's imminent, and it's impossible for him to catch Neiying anymore.
And he ran into the room and took out two daggers from the space, this dagger was very sharp, and he was going to protect Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu for themselves.
Mingmo and Mingyan have short swords, and they carry their short swords in their baggage wherever they go. Therefore, Gu Chengyu did not need to give weapons.
He took himself a long sword, which he had taken in a box. When he goes out now, he always carries a long sword with him, just in case. Because Mingmo is there, he can't be placed in the space, so it will definitely not work if it comes out of thin air.
"Brother Sun, open the door!" Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu lived together, which saved him from going to find them separately.
"Chengyu? You haven't slept yet? Sun Xian looked at the door with sleepy eyes, and saw that Gu Chengyu hadn't slept yet, and he was still holding his long sword that was always wiping.
"Brother Sun, you called Senior Brother Ye up, there are Jiang bandits coming. Don't ask, then call the ship's passengers, remember! Let them be silent. Find a place to stay, I'll be right over. These two daggers, you keep them for self-defense. ”
At this time, Mingmo and the others had already gone to call the guests on the ship, and they knocked on the door of every room. Some people were already asleep, some were still awake, and there was a lot of noise for a while, and everyone had a lot of complaints about it, and they didn't believe it at all.
"Jiang bandit? Are you sure you're not joking? In the past few years, I have often taken a boat to run business, and I have never seen a river bandit, don't be alarmist! What about the ship's steward and the ship's boss? Why don't you see them come out and say it? Who are you? ”
A businessman obviously didn't believe it, he had been on the ship of Jingyuan Mansion for the past few years, of course he knew that these big ships would take care of those robbers, how could such a thing happen?
At this time, the situation was critical, and Gu Chengyu didn't talk nonsense with him, "It's okay if you don't believe it, but please don't make a loud noise." Now, except for the old and weak, women and children, and those who believe in me come to me, I will count the number of people and prepare to defend against the thieves. The rest of the people, stay in the room, do not come out, no matter what sound you hear. ”
The ship is so big, it is definitely not enough to rely on the few thugs and boatmen on the ship, and it is necessary to increase the number of people to guard the side of the ship.
After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he went directly to the deck. He didn't have time to wait for them to hesitate, at this moment, the kung fu boat boss had already found all the people, Gu Chengyu took a general look, and found that there were only about twenty or thirty people, and these also included the boatmen.
The boatman is strong and strong, and he knows how to do some kung fu. Gu Chengyu originally planned to make preparations with both hands, resisting while pulling the boat aside. In this way, everyone on the ship will be able to disembark, and besides, it will definitely be easier to fight on land than on water. Jiang bandits are all very water-oriented, and on the boat, they will be very disadvantageous to Gu Chengyu.
There is a steward on the ship, who is in charge of the trivial things on the ship, because the boss of the ship has to be at the helm, but he doesn't care about the little things on the ship.
"This son! We're all here. May I ask where the Jiang bandit is? Shall we inform the people on board? "In fact, the steward is still skeptical, the moon is shining tonight, but there is some fog on the river, they have seen it, and there is no shadow of a ship around, nor has they seen the fire.
Some of the boat passengers who believed in Gu Chengyu also walked out of the room, and when they saw the boat boss standing on the deck, they believed what Gu Chengyu said, but there were not many of them, only about ten.
"Their ships are already approaching, and there's no point in us talking about it here. And they all took out their bows and arrows, and wrapped them all in tarpaulin, and I will shoot the burning arrows first, and when their ships are on fire, and you see the fire, you will shoot them in that direction. ”
