Chapter 486: Attacked
In the calm Seine River, a fifty-meter-long wooden schoon, loaded with goods, sailed down the river towards Yunbian Port. The sailors on the ship, who were www.biquge.info by the first mate's command, hoisted the sails, turned the corner sails, scrubbed the fleshy deck, sent people to repair the broken sideboard, and were so busy that they hit the back of the head.
It is clear that the ship went through a thrilling battle last night. From the cabin, there were bursts of moaning from time to time, and the smell of blood drifting down the river into the distance, all of which indicated the cruelty of the battle.
On the hard long sail, the word 'Liang' is printed more than one person high, and those who often walk on the Seine River know that this is the symbol of the Liangjia Merchant House in the Iron and Blood City. It is unimaginable that in this section of the Seine River, there are people who dare to fight the idea of a good family, and they really don't know whether they are alive or dead.
If you look at the results, you can see that no one can touch a good home. The merchant ships of the Liang family, which are more than thirty meters long, are equipped with warriors, and the strength of the warriors is unimaginable to ordinary people, and they are simply superhuman existences. Only a trading house like Liangjia can afford and get so many warriors to protect the safety of merchant ships.
The fleet of the Liang family is very large, it is said that there are two giants over 60 meters, and as many as 10 merchant ships over 50 meters, and it is obvious that this one in front of you is one of them. As for the forty-meter-long Hump-class merchant ships, there are even more of them.
With so many merchant ships, each ship must be equipped with warriors, this cost is gone. The warriors were still loaded on a large ship of thirty or forty meters. Giantship-class merchant ships above fifty meters will at least be equipped with high-level warriors, and even warriors are possible.
Not to mention the sixty-meter giant, the conscience number is the car of the giant of the Liangjia firm, and there are no less than four warriors around him all the year round to protect him, not to mention that it is said that the giant of the Liangjia family is a great warrior himself, with profound strength, but few people have seen him shoot.
With the advanced age of the Liangjia giant, most of the Liangjia firms are now the second son and the third lady, and the remaining few sons and ladies are mostly unsuccessful.
It seems that the next generation of giants of the good family will definitely be in the second son, although the third lady is not only beautiful, but also long-sleeved and good at dancing in the shopping mall, even the giant praised her for her talent in business. No matter how smart and capable you are, after all, as a woman, you have to get married sooner or later. Along the Seine, I have not heard of a merchant house headed by a woman.
In the bow cabin, which was also full of blood, Liang Xiaowu, the third lady of the Liangjia family, who was dressed in a long green dress, put down the gauze in her hand, sighed, and her face was gloomy. On the chair opposite her, sat a shirtless old man, pale, with four strips of gauze tied to his body, who had been treated with wound medicine, and still had blood oozing out.
"Third Miss, we are lucky this time, if it weren't for the natural vision, we would have been there last night. The old man sighed as well.
"Uncle Nantai, is there really no way?" asked Liang Xiaowu after cleaning his hands, sitting opposite the old man.
"It's enough, I can only fight to the death, the two people who shot last night are not weaker than me, they are definitely veteran warriors, if it is one-on-one, the old man is still a little sure, with one enemy and two, it is not difficult to escape, if you want to block them, it is difficult. The old man sighed again, Nantai Qingye has served the Liang family for sixty years, and has long regarded the Liang family business as his home, starting from a guy, until now the head of the guard, and the personal guard of the third lady, Liang Xiaowu has always regarded him as a relative.
At home, in addition to his mother, the most trustworthy thing is the father of the contemporary giant and the old man in front of him, and in terms of credibility, he is a little stronger than his second brother.
"The red goods on the ship, only my father, my second brother and you and I know......" Liang Xiaowu said softly, carrying red goods on the cargo ship, this is a common means of many commercial houses, nothing unusual, but there is a big difference between red goods and red goods, some are worth selling, and some even if they know, just laugh and pass.
The merchant ships of the Liang family have to pay a considerable price. Because of this, the owner of the cargo is willing to spend a lot of money to ask a good merchant ship to carry red goods. After all, there are not only many people who rely on the Seine for food, but also very mixed.
Fishermen, merchants, footmen, pickers, pirates, all kinds, no one can tell how many boats and people float by every day on this headless and tailless Seine River.
The Seine River is not only long, but also very wide, even in the dry season, the narrowest place is up to five kilometers wide, and it is said that the widest place, with the Giant Boat-class merchant ships, with the wind downstream, it takes several days. On such a wide river, there are countless islands, which contain countless resources while also hiding countless human beings who want to make a fortune.
"Third Miss, now is not the time to pursue the problem, from here to the clouds, there are still five days of waterway, such a long time, enough for the other party to catch up with us, the giant ship is a merchant ship, full of goods, how can it run fast. Nantai Qingye stood up, tried to move his arm, frowned, the injury was not light, two of them were cut into the bone, and one knife broke the tendons, which is also his cultivation, if it is an ordinary person, any knife is enough to kill, even if it is replaced by a warrior, if he does not take care of the injury for a while, it will be a problem to even go to the ground.
With a slight shake of his arm, he knew that at least for two days, he would not be able to do anything, and it was okay to deal with good hands below the warrior, but if he faced a warrior of the same level, he was powerless to resist at all.
The two of them were worried spontaneously, the hatch was pushed open, and the captain rushed in: "Third Miss, the manager of Nantai, someone outside intercepts the ship." ”
"Someone intercepted the boat?" The two of them were startled at the same time, and Liang Xiaowu's face changed drastically, and instantly became strange again.
"Yes...... "This captain is also an experienced boater, and has been floating on the Seine all his life, but today this is a strange thing.
Encounters with water thieves on the Seine are not new, they happen almost every day. But the giant boat has a signboard of a good family, and on this waterway, no water thief will be so blind, come to the door to die. If those people had intercepted the boat last night, they would have rushed on board to kill people.
Nantai Qingye is old and refined, Liang Xiaowu can think of it, he also figured it out in a blink of an eye, and asked with a strange smile on his face: "Who intercepted the boat?"
"A man and a woman, the man seemed to be seriously wounded, and the woman carried him on her back. The captain said messily.
"Help?" Nantai Kiyono asked uncertainly, this is also an old boatman from a good family, so you don't have to ask yourself about this kind of thing.
The Seine River is very long and wide, people who beg for a life on the water, it is inevitable that there will be accidents, there are not a few people who are in distress, and countless people have been rescued by Liangjia merchant ships in the past, which also leaves an excellent reputation for Liangjia Commercial Bank.
Shipwrecked and shipwrecked were two different things, and he didn't believe that an old man like the captain would not be able to tell the difference between the two.
"What kind of interception method?" asked Ryoshino.
"The woman stood on a log, carrying the man on her back, in front of the boat, and she couldn't understand what she said, as if she wanted to get on the boat, and you know, Miss San, that our own trouble was big enough, and we didn't dare to let her get on the boat, and she didn't force her to board the boat. The captain calmed down, and found that he was too worried, and it was obvious that this man and woman had nothing to do with the people of last night.
"Standing on a piece of wood?" Nantai was shocked, this is at least a warrior-level samurai. Hell, since you have this ability, what are you doing to intercept the boat? Just go ashore, although this is the middle of the river, it can be a few kilometers away from the banks on both sides, at most, for warriors, even if they cross the river on their backs, it is not a problem at all.
"Let's go, let's see. Liang Xiaomai said, and walked out of the cabin first, walking towards the bow of the ship.
When the giant boat was full sail at full speed, the impact was amazing, but at this moment, it actually stopped, and could only move slowly downstream with the flow of the river. The sails had already fallen, and although she was not a samurai, she had quite good eyesight, and she saw that several ropes had been cut by sharp weapons, which obviously could not have been done by the crew.
No wonder the captain would use the interception of the ship to describe it, although the other party did not forcibly board the ship, but used means to make the giant boat unable to move forward, which does have a bit of interception meaning.
Standing on the bow of the ship and looking down, sure enough, as the captain said, on a dead wood more than two meters long, stood a young woman in green clothes, looking only about twenty years old, as if she was different from herself, with a ribbon tied around her waist, her snow-white long sleeves rolled up, revealing her wrist and lotus arms, and a man behind her back, tied with a ribbon around her waist, just standing on the dead wood, slightly raising the powder, looking at the Liangxiao dance standing at the bow of the boat.
"Girl, may I ask if there is anything I can do to help you?" Liang Xiaowu asked, her tone was as calm as possible, after all, in front of a strong man who can cross the river with one tree, even if it is a young man from a good family, he must be polite. Since she was a child, she has had a lot of samurai around her, and she still knows a little about the psychology of samurai.
It is true that the samurai lack resources, but the strength of the people is strong, and if they do not get enough respect, no amount of money is useless.
No matter how fast you make money, how can you grab money quickly? Samurai are willing to apply for jobs, one for stability, and the other for resources, both of which are indispensable.
"Hey, are you the one who can talk? I'm going to get on the boat, tell me what sea this is. The woman on the dead wood spoke, speaking quickly and urgently, with a strange accent.
The problem is, the girl on the bow of the ship who can speak, she can't understand a word of what she says, is it a boat of a certain tribe? Looking at the length of this boat, at least it is a big tribe, I think someone can understand the lingua franca of the mainland.
Sure enough, what the captain said was right, the language of the two sides was incomprehensible, he turned his head to look at Uncle Nantai, Nantai Qingye shook his head slightly, when he was young, Nantai Qingye, as a big guy in the trading house, could be regarded as going south and north, it is said that he has walked up the river for three years, has seen countless people and cities, knows several languages, and is considered a more knowledgeable elder in the trading house.
Shaking his head, he had never heard the language of the woman on the dead wood, it seemed that the other party had no malicious intent, and motioned to the third lady to invite someone to get on the boat.
Ryoshino Mai shook her head and pointed to the unwashed blood on the nail plate without saying a word.
