Chapter 221: Attacking the Ship
Knowing that someone would come to hijack the ship, Zheng Changming couldn't sleep well in bed. simply ordered someone to get a pen and paper, spread out the drawing paper, pushed open the window and faced the spring river, splashing ink.
When the gold Wuxi fell and the river surface was floating and gold, Zheng Changming put down his pen and took a long breath at the newly painted Chunjiang map, but he couldn't dispel the troubles in his heart.
He looked at the seemingly calm river with his hands behind his back, and faces flashed in his mind. Annoyed and angry father, weeping mother and sister, wife and children who abandoned him, came to Shen Ge on the way to protect his slain servants......
Zheng Changming couldn't help but moan in pain and closed his eyes.
"After Zheng Changming came to relieve us, he didn't want to reunite with his family, but he wanted to go to Xuanzhou with us, which is intriguing. The daughter speculated that he wanted to fight hard and fight for the Zheng family to find a way to live."
After finishing the meal, the maid made tea, and Lin Ruyu sat at the table to analyze Zheng Changming's intentions, "Zheng Changming's uncle and father must be determined to stand on the side of King An, and rebellion is a felony against the Jiu clan. If Zheng Changming wants his family to live, he can only make meritorious contributions to his crimes."
Father Lin felt that his daughter was reasonable, "He came for Shen Ge."
The tea is fragrant in the room, and the heat is curling. Lin Ruyu looked at the rising heat and explained, "We have the credentials of Tai Shou Kai and the tokens of General Shen, and the people on the official face can't stop us. Shen Ge sent a letter to Zheng Changming, saying that he was asking him to come over to relieve the siege, but in fact, he asked him if he wanted to go with us."
Father Lin only knew that there was such a person as Zheng Changming, but he didn't know what he had done, "Shen Ge has a deep friendship with Zheng Changming?"
Lin Ruyu explained, "When Zheng Changming was in Xuanzhou, Shen Ge asked him to make a portrait to find the person who captured Mr. Dongzhu. Shen Ge is a person who will repay his kindness, he reads this love, so he will send a letter to Zheng Changming. Regardless of the Zheng family's generation, my daughter thinks Zheng Changming is really a very good person."
Father Lin smiled and took a sip of tea, "Zheng Changming has clear eyes, he is not a deep-minded person, Shen Ge is very discerning, and this friend has made a good friend."
Listening to his father's praise of Shen Ge, Lin Ruyu was happy in her heart. was about to open his mouth to help Shen Ge brush his favorability in front of his father, but he heard the rapid sound of "dangdang" outside the window.
This was a signal from the dart master guarding the ship that he had discovered the enemy's situation, and Father Lin immediately stood up, "Jiaojiao stay in the room and don't go out."
Lin Ruyu followed behind her father, "My daughter will go with you, if there is an emergency, my daughter can protect you."
Father Lin realized that his daughter was no longer the weak little Jiaojiao she was two years ago, so he didn't stop her anymore, but only advised, "Don't be reckless."
Although the ship traveled for most of the day after entering Hezhou, it encountered four cross-examinations along the way. At this time, it had just passed Jiangpu County and entered the waters under the jurisdiction of Lingchuan County.
They had long expected that Lingchuan and Liyang would not be peaceful, but they didn't expect that before the sky was dark, the enemy couldn't wait to rush over.
Lin Ruyu stood on the big boat, checking the situation on the dock by the faint light.
This is the largest wharf in Lingchuan County, and the wharf is empty at the moment.
Half an hour ago, the Lin family's fleet docked, and more than 20 officials rushed over to investigate, eager to peel off a layer of skin before they would stop. The Lin family paid enough silver taels for the barge, and now that the robbers of the ship have come, the yacha who was supposed to maintain law and order here and protect the ship has disappeared without a trace.
said that this gang of robbers did not collude with the government, only ghosts believe it! Since this is the case, then send them to the Huangquan Prefecture to reunite with the ghosts.
After quickly checking the guards of the ship's guards and dart masters, as soon as Father Lin turned his head, he saw his daughter holding a long sword, and the murderous aura in her eyes made Father Lin feel distressed.
How much hardship has he gone through to make his delicate daughter what she is today.
By the window of the guest room on the second floor of the "Niang ......", fourteen-year-old Qian Caiming hid behind his mother, his face pale with fright, "There are a lot more robbers here than in the previous two days."
Lin Sangu was also afraid, but she couldn't show it, so she only patted her shoulder and comforted her son, "There are dozens of dart masters guarding the boat, they can't kill them, my son is not afraid."
Qian Baocui was full of confidence, "Just eat, what are you afraid of!" Uncle has General Shen Cunyu's tiger head order in his hand, and the dart master can't hold the ship, so the uncle can use the token to recruit officers and soldiers to come and guard the ship, which will be more pompous."
That token was a reassurance for everyone on board.
Qian Lancui said in a low voice, "Mother, the world is in chaos like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace if we go to Puxian."
Qian Caiming immediately said, "Don't go to Puxian, you have to follow your uncle back to Xuanzhou."
Lin Sangu's eyes flashed, and she didn't say anything.
Outside the ship, dozens of black shadows had already rushed to the side of the ship, fighting with the people of the Liangdao Dart Bureau. As soon as the two sides handed over, Lin Ruyu saw the difference. Before she could speak, Shen Ge, who came over with a sword, said, "Father-in-law, these people are much stronger than the previous waves, I'll bring people down for reinforcements." Five
This wave of people is much stronger than the water bandits they have encountered in the past two days. This is not a rabble, but a well-trained team. Father Lin nodded in response, and after telling Shen Ge to be careful, he commanded, "Jiaojiao also sent eight people down to reinforce and fight quickly. Lin Quan, tell the archers and throwers to get ready."
"Yes." Lin Quan immediately went to deliver the message.
The lanterns on the large ship illuminated the men in black, who were not only dressed in black, but also covered their heads with black cloth, with only two holes left in their eyes. Lin Ruyu frowned, raised her sleeve and measured the direction of the wind.
Now the southeast wind is blowing, and this gang of bandits with their mouths and noses covered is killing from the northwest, I am afraid that it is not just a coincidence. Lin Ruyu discussed with her father, "Daddy, the wind direction is not good for us at the moment, in order to prevent them from attacking with poisonous smoke, it is better for us to cover our mouths and noses."
Father Lin immediately ordered to go down, and Lin Ruyu then ordered Luo Xian and the others to also cover their mouths and noses and go down to reinforce the Liangdao Dart Bureau.
Then, Lin Ruyu asked Luo Wu, who was good at reconnaissance, to take the two of them to the direction where the man in black had come to see if there was anything wrong. Luo Wu and the others had just left, and Lin Ruyu, who was keeping an eye on the battle situation, suddenly saw a man in black who fixed his hair bun with a thick bamboo hairpin in the crowd, and rushed towards Shen Ge with a knife.
Her pupils shrank, and she immediately shouted, "Brother Dafu."
Lin Dafu immediately stepped forward.
Lin Ruyu pointed to the black-clothed man with a thick bamboo hairpin who was about to rush in front of Shen Ge, and immediately ordered, "Shen Ge southeast, that masked man with a thick bamboo hairpin on his head. Brother Dafu destroyed him!"
"Oh." After Dafu found the right person, the feather arrow hung with the wind, and only ran to the black-clothed man wearing a bamboo hairpin.
The black-clothed man who rushed towards Shen Ge with a knife heard that the evil wind behind him was not good, and rolled on the spot to dodge the bamboo arrow that sneaked up on him, and turned his head to look in the direction where the arrow was flying. Before he could see clearly, a second arrow flew over. The man in black rolled on the ground in fright, dodging the deadly arrow.
Immediately after, a third arrow flew over, directly blocking his retreat. The black-clothed man was frightened and frightened, and quickly rolled to avoid it.
