Chapter 190: Hunter? prey
Outside, it's been a mess.
Fortunately, this ship is owned by the Brocade Mansion, and the helmsmen who support the boat above are all under the command of Li Jie. There are those who run to extinguish fires, there are those who untie the sail ropes, and there are those who venture to pull rockets......
In the firelight, there are many figures.
"Ahh Not far away, there was a scream of someone being injured, which startled Xu Sanchun.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Li Jie's voice came, which made her feel a lot more relieved.
However, rockets were constantly coming from mid-air, and a few Tapestry Guards alone could not shoot them all down. Not only did the sails catch fire, but the deck and the cabins on the first floor were also set on fire.
The wind fuels the fire, and with just a cup of tea, it becomes a prairie fire, burning more and more violently.
Xu Sanchun was escorted to the deck by Li Jie, and the fire was scorching, making her cheeks hurt. The wooden walls of the cabin, encased in the fire, crackled and burned.
Li Jie quickly looked around and shouted, "Withdraw!" Get off the boat for me! "This ship can't be saved. The immediate priority is to save lives.
Following his order, the sound of "poof" falling into the water sounded several times. People who beg for a living on the boat will be water, and since the boat can't be saved, the fastest way to save their lives is naturally to jump into the water.
"My lord, go this way!" Two brocade guards emerged from the firelight, carrying a gangplank for disembarking, and lowered it on the spot by the deck, making a way to the shore.
"You go first, I'll protect Cainiang and I'll arrive later." Li Jie said in a deep voice: "Be careful, beware of attacks. ”
"Yes!"
Brocade Wei was ordered to get off the boat, Xu Sanchun was choked by the fireworks and coughed a few times, and walked towards the gangplank. Li Jie escorted her behind, and the two got off the boat.
Looking back, I saw that the boat they were on was burning brightly, and the other ships docked at the dock were all safe and sound.
The people on board were alarmed and came out to see what was going on. The boats on either side of them were particularly nervous, drawing water and preparing to put out the fire. After all, it's too close, water and fire are ruthless, who to cry when it's burned?
Xu Sanchun's heart was full of anger, no matter who it was, killing people and setting fires was inevitably too much!
"Cainiang, let's go to the county seat to find a place to settle down for the time being?" Li Jie suggested.
Their luggage was on board, burned with the fire. The late autumn night is cold, and there are people who fall into the water, so you can't spend it here all the time.
Xu Sanchun pondered for a moment and said, "You let the person who fell into the water go to find a place first, settle down to bathe and change clothes, and don't catch a cold." ”
"What about you?"
"I'm not in a hurry." Xu Sanchun hooked a shallow smile on his lips and said, "It's safer for us to stay here than to act rashly." ”
The firelight danced in her eyes, and a pair of bright apricot eyes shone brightly.
Li Jie was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. Since the other party is coming for his own ship, the target is very likely to be Xu Sanchun. The enemy has not succeeded, and it is far from safe at the moment.
They were caught off guard, but the other party was waiting for work. If you rush away like this, I am afraid that you will fall into the ambush of the enemy.
It's better to stay here, which has a great view and is easy to observe.
Moreover, the commotion was so loud that the entire dock was already awakened by the ships moored at the pier. She is the talented lady of the Brocade Mansion, and if she is attacked in full view, the people on the ship will not stand idly by.
Even if a boat sent two people to help, she would be safe enough.
Li Jie looked at Xu Sanchun's expression and became admirable, this truth, he didn't think of it in time, he was really ashamed.
"Yes." Li Jie responded, and arranged for his subordinates to be by Xu Sanchun's side and set up a line of defense around her. Not only do you have to watch out for the front, but you can't ignore it in the water. Who knows, did the enemy lay an ambush in the water in advance?
Their movements here fell into the eyes of the attacker who took the lead, and he was immediately hated by him.
Attack the burning ship with rockets to weaken the ship's guards, and if you can succeed, it would be the best. If he can't, he will rush forward to snipe while Xu Sanchun is getting off the boat and retreating.
Unexpectedly, their response was so calm, and after getting off the ship, they set up a defensive line on the pier and did not take a step forward.
The man in black who took the lead waved his right hand, "Shoot me!" He thought coldly: Do you really think I can't help you? I've got enough arrows to see how many rounds you can make it.
As soon as his voice fell, the sharp arrow swished towards Xu Sanchun.
Li Jie was engrossed, and the other brocade guards also pulled out their swords, only to hear a sound of "clanging", and arrows flew wildly. However, sharp arrows came one after another, and gradually some people were physically exhausted, and they were hit by arrows in succession.
"I, Dongwu Mansion Brocade Guard, ask for help from all walks of life!" Li Jie shouted, raised his waist card high, and said: "The talented lady I am protecting is the person valued by Hui Xinniang, and today's grace must be greatly appreciated!" ”
He made a promise, and someone answered the ship at the moment, and the arrow was shot into the darkness.
"The Wanfu is here to help!"
"The Wing Lung Caravan is here to help!"
"Aoyama Dart Game!"
“……”
As the names were announced, figures jumped out one after another, appeared on the dock, and appeared beside Xu Sanchun and others.
The attackers' faces sank, and the situation became more and more unfavorable for them.
"Big brother, shall we withdraw?" Seeing that there were not many feather arrows at hand, some people panicked.
Remove?
The task was not completed, let alone Xu Sanchun, and even the lives of those brocade guards were not taken. made such a big commotion, but it was such a result, how to deal with it when I went back.
"Can't be withdrawn." It's not that it can't, it's that at least there must be a result.
The man in black who took the lead commanded, "You guys, go over there and set up an ambush." I don't believe they can stay together. ”
The ship has been completely burned down, and the people of Dong U have nowhere to go. Whether they want to find another boat to move forward or settle down temporarily, they can only choose to come to the county town to rest.
However, after he gave the order, he did not wait for a reply.
When he looked back, he saw a mouthful of blood spurting out of the mouth of a man in black, but the man fell down. In the midst of his astonishment, a cold light flashed in the darkness and came straight to his door.
"What people!" He ducked back, his sword raised in his right hand to defend against the enemy.
What's going on?
He was originally a hunter, when did he become a prey?
The person who came was extremely fast and looked like a ghost. He was in a hurry, slumped to his right, and was pointed at the throat by the tip of his sword.
Cold sweat, oozing from his forehead, ran down his cheeks. He slowly backed away, never before was death so close to him.
No one could save him, and the men he brought with him were lying on the ground. The tip of the sword approached, and he could even feel the chill from above, and the pain from cutting through his skin.
"Spare him his life."
A man slowly walked out of the darkness with his hands on his back.
