Running all the way, the noise became more and more harsh.

The bow of the ship was blazing, spitting out billowing black smoke, rendering the night red, and the sound of fighting continued.

Ye Lingwu hid on the second floor and peeked down, and found that the number of this group of water thieves was not large, about twenty people, each of them was wearing armor, as if they had been trained, and they looked very fierce.

Naturally, the guards were not vegetarians, and after ten minutes, it was difficult for the thieves to even take the bow of the ship, and there was even no follow-up support.

The originally menacing water thief fell all at once.

- Ye Lingwu was suspicious.

Ordinary water thieves have the main purpose of robbing money, and they should first quietly invade and hide from the boat, killing people and setting fires are secondary, but this group of water thieves does the opposite.

First, in fact, they are not many in number, and whether they quietly invade or attack aggressively, they may not be able to capture the ship, so they can only build momentum.

Second, their purpose may not be simple, compared to killing people and setting fires, robbing property, the current actions are more like - making a sound!

Probably aware of this, Jiang Yuan almost didn't hesitate, and called more than a dozen guards to go to the west side of the ship, and there was a staircase on the west side of the ship, which could get down to the cargo hold faster.

Ye Lingwu understood at the moment, and hurriedly rushed back with his skirt.

Who didn't know that he didn't walk for long, and suddenly there was a messy running sound at the corner in front of him, Ye Lingwu paused, but saw three middle-aged men with big knives appear, Looking at their looks, it seems that it is strange why there are still girls left alone here.

The three of them are bloodthirsty, evil and greedy.

Ye Lingwu was cowardly, and ran away if she wanted to, but reason told her that there were more thieves behind her, and she couldn't go back if she wanted to go.

"Yo, the little girl is so beautiful, where are you going?" One of them looked the most obscene.

"Leave her alone, the boss said it's important to find the old woman." Another middle-aged man with a scarred face said.

Ye Lingwu frowned, and glanced sideways at the dark river below.

"Don't worry about it, with them, you won't miss tonight. I said, little girl, it's a pity that you're so beautiful, why don't you go into the house with your brothers and be happy? "It's still the lewd man who is talking.

Ye Lingwu slowly retreated.

Another middle-aged man looked at the girl's pitiful appearance, and also moved evil thoughts: "Don't be afraid, little girl, we are very gentle." ”

Scarface said hurriedly: "Oh, it's important to find the old woman now, if we miss this time, we will all die." ”

"If you want to find your special mother, you should look for it first, Lao Tzu wants to be happy first, what's wrong?"

Ye Lingwu felt evil in his heart, and the hand under his sleeve gradually tightened. Even if she jumped into the river to die today, it was impossible for these disgusting men to spoil it.

On the other side, the thieves in the cargo hold under the bottom had already been ambushed in advance, but fortunately, Jiang Yuan arrived in time with more than ten guards, and in the panic, the female envoys became more and more hurried, almost chaotic.

Old Lady Shen's expression was calm, but her face was very pale.

Jiang Yuan held her with only one hand and said nervously, "Old lady, are you okay?" ”

Old Mrs. Shen looked at the scene of the battle in front of her, and said lightly: "It's okay, Scholar Jiang is going to see how Jiayi and the others are doing, they came down earlier than us, but now they don't see anyone, aren't they being held hostage by thieves?" ”

Jiang Yuan nodded, and then divided the guards into two groups, one group stayed behind, and the other group followed him to find someone. Although he is a civil official, Jiang Yuan's command ability impresses Mrs. Shen.

"Where's the girl? Where's the Foggy Girl?! Rong Xiu suddenly found that Ye Lingwu was gone, and she was a little anxious to cry.

Old Mrs. Shen was shocked, looked around, and the Buddha beads in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and said in a panic: "Where is the girl?" Did any of you see her? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and a weak voice came out of the crowd - "I just saw Miss Lingwu going...... I went to the bow of the boat, thinking that I had gone to find Scholar Jiang in person. ”

Old Mrs. Shen almost fainted, and said in a panic: "Quick, help me go back to find the girl, hurry up." ”

"No, old lady!" Tanchun said, "It's full of water thieves, we can't go out." ”

"Shut up!" After the old lady Shen finished yelling, she walked back without waiting for the female envoy to come to help, and the others didn't dare to continue hiding after seeing it, so they could only follow.

As soon as the group went up to the corridor on the ground floor, they heard a huge sound of entering the water, and someone shouted: "It's Miss Lingwu, Miss Lingwu has jumped ship!" ”

Old Mrs. Shen's face turned pale, she trembled on the railing, and looked down with her body, only to see layers of waves left on the water.

"Quick, save people! Go and save people! Old Lady Shen's face was so calm that cracks always appeared, and her voice trembled a little.

At the same time, there was the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs.

There were only five water thieves who came back this time, and they all sneaked into the cargo hold in advance to ambush them. They moved quickly, surrounded everyone in groups, and moved forward with their knives.

"Catch this old woman, as long as there are hostages in your hands, Shen Zhan can't do anything to us!" One of them yelled.

The envoy was full of fear, and shrunk into a ball and wept lowly.

As soon as the thief shouted, the others were about to step forward, but just as they moved, they saw a flash of fire soaring into the sky, suddenly illuminating the entire night.

By the light of the fire in the sky, everyone saw a big ship approaching the building ship at some point.

Looking at it again, two long arrows shot straight through the darkness, and the thief closest to Old Lady Shen shot through and died on the spot.

The rest of the thieves gasped in unison, and looked in the direction where the long arrow came from, only to see a majestic man standing on the deck of the big ship opposite, holding a silver longbow and wearing a dark battle armor.
