Chapter 173: Salvation
"Mother, what this little brother said is that it is safer for us to leave early, if those people are not malicious, they will catch up with us again."
Su Junning frowned and stood up and said to the guy.
"It's just that our people can't row, and we have to rely on you to arrange two good escorts, you can rest assured, our Su family will never treat their benefactors badly, whether they are in danger today or not, they will be grateful again in the future."
"Miss is polite, the villain will arrange it, and please ask the lady and the lady to quickly pack up and go downstairs, and besides, this boat can only seat a maximum of six people, you have to arrange it."
The fellow arched his hand and immediately went to prepare.
At this time, Cui Shi stood up with a gloomy face.
"Six people, you have to bring two guys who can row, and then you and me, and two."
Looking at a room of maids, they are all close to Suri, and it is really difficult to choose.
But this time, Mother Luo stood up and said.
"Madame, don't hesitate, in the opinion of the slave, you and Miss will bring two more kung fu servants to follow, which is much safer and more useful than bringing a lady."
"But Qiuhua." Cui Shi immediately took Luo's mother's hand, her eyes full of anxiety.
Mother Luo is her dowry maid, and she has been with her for so many years, how could she be willing to leave it.
However, at this time, the situation is urgent, and Luo's mother is not ambiguous.
He grabbed Cui's hand and whispered to reassure.
"Madame's intentions, the slaves and maids know, but at this time you and the young lady are the most important, there are many families on this ship, and the slaves and maids know how to protect themselves."
After speaking, he glanced southward.
The latter understood, and immediately beckoned a few maids to come forward, cleaned up a little, and then hugged Cui Shi and Su Junning downstairs.
Walking to the downstairs deck at this moment, Su Juning saw that those water bandits were about to approach the big boat, and his heart was also fiercely raised.
Luo's mother was quick on her hands and feet, so she immediately helped the two of them onto the boat, and found two reliable servants to follow to escort them, and then two guys who could row.
Six people filled a small boat and sailed away quickly.
Naturally, the small boat rowed much faster than the big boat, and it didn't take long for the distance to be widened.
At that time, Zhao Sanping and others were already approaching.
When he saw someone get off the boat and escape, his face darkened.
"Oh no, they found out."
"Then what should we do, why don't we send someone to chase the mother and daughter?" The subordinate next to him asked.
I saw a trace of fierceness flashing on Zhao San's plane, and spit on the hand holding the hilt.
"A team will rob the wealth first, and then divide a few to arrest people, we can't let them run away, if the people who are either rich or noble, if they have backers in the court, let them escape and report to the officials, our vote will be in vain."
Recently, the government has been cracking down on bandits, and last year's New Year was not lively, and the brothers complained, and now they really can't afford to feed this group of people, so this vote must be done.
When he said this, the subordinate immediately whistled to send a message to the four brothers.
So Su Junning, who had just walked a little farther, saw that the location of those water bandits suddenly lit up.
They lit the torches and began to pound.
I only heard the sound of swishing arrows being fired, and then I saw a figure on the Su family's boat falling into the water.
"Murder, it's a water bandit!" Cui Shi's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately grabbed Su Junning's hand tightly.
The mother and daughter were huddled in the middle of the boat, both afraid.
However, Su Junning has also experienced a big scene of life and death, and he is still relatively calm on his face.
Holding his mother's hand, he whispered comfort.
"Mother, don't be afraid, this group of people is only seeking money now, we still have time to escape, they won't be able to catch up for a while."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the exclamation of the rowing man behind him.
"Oh no, someone is chasing us, there are two ships!"
As soon as he heard this, Su Junning's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Turning around and looking back, sure enough, someone was chasing, but it was still far from them.
So he immediately pulled out a pair of golden hairpins on his head and stuffed them into the hands of the two rowing men.
"Two little brothers, the lives of our boatmen are in the hands of the two of you, I see that they are rowing alone, not as fast as the two of us, you two are tired and work harder, and escape this catastrophe, I will definitely be doubly grateful!"
The two rowing guys also wanted to live, and she didn't have to say that, they were already working together.
But with this benefit in front of you, you can get it alive, and you are naturally even happier.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the chasing bandit actually swooped and shot a few arrows in this direction.
Su Juning only felt that the figure in front of him flickered, and he could hear the sound of falling into the water.
The rowing guy had already had an arrow fall into the water.
Before the other could react, he fell after him.
Cui Shi was already unwell, and under the huge nervousness and fear at this time, he saw two people die in front of him, and he suddenly fainted without holding on.
"Mother, mother!" Su Junning called anxiously twice, seeing that she didn't respond, and it was not good to waste any more time, so she quickly ordered the two little guys. "You two, get back rowing!"
The two of them came to their senses and quickly took over the boatman's position.
At this moment, Su Juning saw that his big ship was already full of fires, and the cries of fighting could be heard in the distance.
No one expected that this time when they returned to Lin'an's hometown, they would encounter such a thing.
Su Junning's mind quickly thought about countermeasures, but when she saw her mother who had fainted, she was at a loss.
But at this moment, Su Juning vaguely saw that there seemed to be a boat coming this way on the opposite side, and it didn't look like a small boat.
Immediately, the courage to become a benevolent person was born in my heart.
He took out the fire fold from his arms, took off his cloak and lit a corner, and began to wave and shout for help.
When the two little guys saw this, they also shouted.
"Help, help!"
The cries for help sounded on the silent river, and they were very clear, but they caught the attention of the ship, and even more so the attention of the bandits.
They shouted a few times, and Su Junning only heard a muffled snort from the little guy behind him, and he plopped and fell into the water.
The moment he fell, Su Junning saw an arrow in his back socket.
Seeing this, the other little guy was probably afraid, and after taking a deep look at Su Junning, he suddenly dragged her over, put a dagger against her neck, and shouted in the direction of the water bandit.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, what I hold in my hand is the daughter of Su Yi, the imperial history of Bianjing Zuodu, if you don't kill me, I will hand her over to you, and you can ask the Su family for ransom!"
The change came too quickly, and Su Junning was completely stunned.
I didn't expect the people around me to rebel.
And when the bandits listened to the little guy's words, they really didn't seem to continue to attack.
Su Junning only felt a chill all over his body, and his skin and bones began to shrink sharply, making people breathless.
This sense of death made her heart almost burst.
gasping for breath, Su Junning's heart was crossed.
She was captured by the bandits, I'm afraid it won't be good, she doesn't believe that the group of people will not touch her, just take her in exchange for ransom!
Thinking of this, Su Juning gritted her teeth and wanted to jump into the canal with the little guy.
But just at the last moment, the little guy standing behind her suddenly trembled, and then a stream of warm liquid sprayed on Su Juning's side face, and then the little guy let go of her and fell down.
Su Junning trembled and turned around, and saw that in the direction where she had just called for help, the boat had already lit up.
Standing prominently on the ship was a group of officers and soldiers.
It's an official ship, saved!
