The surface of the river was dark, but at some point, a ship was suddenly set on fire. The sky-high fire was surging with gas, and the sky here was suddenly red.

Sang Xuanyue listened to the fighting and howling outside, and everyone was frightened awake.

She couldn't sleep a little, because she was worried that the water bandits would give everyone a surprise attack, and she naively wanted to stay awake so that she could wake people up at the critical moment.

But who would have thought that today she was painting and reading, and her body was too tired, so she just turned over a few times in bed and fell asleep deeply.

Sang was awakened by the shouting outside, and she sat up sharply, reaching for the dagger hidden under the pillow. But at this moment, Su Wen, Su Ying and Su Jin both rushed in, and Sang Xuanyue was suddenly not so afraid.

But listening to the screams of those people on the river, she still had palpitations. Sang Xuanyue wanted Su Wen and Su Ying to go out to see if they could help anything. But they are also women, even if they have a little kung fu, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of those murderous water bandits. Her life is life, their life is life, and she can't let them risk their lives.

Sang Xuanyue was silent, and Su Wen seemed to see something from her face, so she said, "Girl, something happened. The news heard by the people on Hou Ye's side was that the total number of bandits here was about 1,000. But they don't belong to the same force, but they go their own way. The biggest water ghost has only 400 people. If it is this number, the good hands on several boats on our side combined, they are not afraid of him at all. But when the bandits saw that we had so many ships gathered together, they might have felt that their majesty had been provoked, or they might have just tried to fight and leave us all behind. Therefore, I don't know if those forces have united, and the water bandits that have emerged now are 800 people, to say the least. ”

"Eight hundred? How can there be so many people?? ”

So-young pulled Lasu and asked, not letting her say any more. Su Wen felt that it was better for the girl to know. After all, Master Hou has a comprehensive arrangement, even if a thousand people come, he can leave them all behind this time. Let the girl realize that Hou Ye is a hero of the world, wouldn't the girl be more able to make a promise to Hou Ye?

The two of them are ambiguous, and the Hou Ye has the heart to break the flowers but doesn't want to treat the girl slowly, which is really anxious to see them.

Su Wen ignored Su Ying's pull, and in the end he told Sang Twist Moon everything that should be said. And as the sound of fighting outside became more and more intense, Sang Xuanyue's face became whiter.

But it was okay at first, and the sound of the fight sounded a little far away from them. But gradually, I don't know if some of the rangers came here to take refuge, or if another bandit came from the dark water, they actually ran to the deck outside the mulberry moon cabin.

Fortunately, someone soon rushed over and killed the bandits.

But Sang Xuanyue was still frightened, she couldn't help but clench the dagger in her hand, and tense her body to listen to the movement outside.

When the fire ignited, several people in the cabin immediately looked over there.

Sang Xuanyue exclaimed: "It's not that you will burn the ship if you rob something, why do you set it on fire now?" ”

Su Wen and Su Ying didn't know either, but they were more vigilant.

After all, the passenger ship they were on looked inconspicuous at first, but if you looked closely, you could see the value of it. Those sailors were doing a terrible business, and they all had good eyesight, and it was inevitable that they would not see the extraordinaryness of this passenger ship, so they rushed here to plunder.

The sound of the fight became louder, and the screams became more terrible, and when Su Wen and Su Ying went to the window to watch the battle, Sang Xuanyue couldn't help but take Su Jin's trembling hand and quietly walked to the window.

The windows of the cabin are made of glass, and now when the curtains are lifted, you can clearly see the movement outside.

A boatman was stabbed in the stomach by a water bandit, and a stream of blood rushed to the sky, and the water bandit let out an arrogant laugh, but before the laughter stopped, his head was cut off by the man in black behind him. Some people's bodies were broken into two, but while he vomited blood in his mouth, he supported his upper body and crawled hard, his intestines flowed to the ground, and he still shouted "help" in a vague voice. ”

More often than not, the crew or the men in black are fighting with the bandits. The crew was mediocre in combat, and they hid in a mess when they were hacked and killed by the bandits; But those black-clothed people are all masters, and when they raise their knives and fall in their hands, the water bandits are killed like chopping melons and vegetables, leaving no armor behind.

Sang Xuanyue even saw Shen Tingjun, who was fighting with a man with a fierce face. The man was short and strong, and he had a big knife in his hand. There was also a scar on his face that ran from left to right, which made his already hideous face even more ferocious.

Su Wen snorted: "This should be the water ghost who crisscrosses the Cangzhou waterway, killing people and setting fires." ”

"He's a water ghost?" Su Jin asked.

"It should be him. I heard that the water ghost is superb in martial arts, and in addition to being good at using big swords, he is also good at using hidden weapons. Moreover, he has a cunning and shrewd temperament, and is well versed in water, and no one can catch him at all. ”

As he spoke, the water ghost seemed to notice the peeping gaze here, and he glanced at it coldly. There was a bloody glint in his eyes, and the fierceness and viciousness in those eyes were about to come out.

The water ghost is really worthy of being a clever and cunning water bandit, he was keenly aware of the sharper murderous aura on Shen Tingjun's sword at that moment, he realized something, even if he used a trick to throw out a poisonous hidden weapon, and then rushed straight to the cabin here.

Su Wen and Su Ying hurriedly pushed Sang Twisting Moon and Su Jin back, and the two jumped out of the door directly, just blocking the water ghost who had been killed for a moment.

It was also Su Wen and Su Ying who buffered this moment, and Shen Tingjun was lucky enough to catch up with the second wave of attacks from the water ghosts. The water ghost knows that the opportunity has passed, and he also knows that this time he has kicked the iron plate, and he is afraid that it will not be good if he continues to entangle.

But this time he promised a lot of benefits, so he entangled many bandits to kill people and cross the goods. If everyone is allowed to reap a great harvest, his prestige will soar, and he will become the head of the water bandits just around the corner; But if he returned empty-handed, his prestige would be greatly reduced, and with the tragic death of so many brothers, his position would be in jeopardy.

On the one hand, there is a precarious life, and on the other hand, there is the status and wealth that will be lost if you take a step back, and the water ghost wants to save his life and want to find the field again in the future. But on the spot, other bandit leaders shouted, "Dare to hurt my brother's life, I will fight with you miscellaneous pieces!" ”

The water bandits are already murderous, and they are even more ferocious at this time. Although they have died too many brothers and they are afraid from the bottom of their hearts, they are doing a business that will lose their heads at any time. Besides, there are many fewer brothers, and there are fewer people to share the profits, if these dozens of boats are brought back this time, they can live the rest of their lives in peace.

It is precisely because of this that the water bandits have become more radical, not to mention retreating. They shouted "Kill, kill, kill!" "There are female dependents, whoever kills the most heads, who picks first!" Then he cried out, "Silver, there is a lot of silver in this ship." ”

In this play, the water ghost was directly put in the air. If he really dodged at this time, then he wouldn't want to mix in the waters of Cangzhou in the future.

The water ghost became more and more ferocious and fought with Shen Tingjun, his moves were ruthless, and his secret weapons were frequent, if ordinary people might have died under his hands, but Shen Tingjun was more than enough to deal with it, and from time to time he could add a sword wound to his body.

The sword wounds were dense, but most of them were not deep, and the water ghost didn't pay attention to it. But gradually, he felt powerless. Weak, drowsy and crumbling, the water ghost realized that the boat had capsized in the gutter this time.

He was furious, "Despicable, you have medicine on your sword. ”

After the words fell, the water ghost sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder again, and then did not look back, and stuck his head straight into the water.

His movements were so unexpected that Su Jin and Sang Twist Moon couldn't help but exclaim. The water ghost is the ghost in the water, and when he gets to the water, it is like entering a no-man's land, if he successfully escapes this time, if he wants to catch him in the future, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

But before Sang Xuanyue and Su Jin could utter more anxious words, they suddenly heard a miserable scream from under the boat, "Ah! My eyes! ”

Then, as if playing a trick, Cheng Yi and Cheng Lin jumped out from under the boat, and they held a large net in their hands. The net is covered with dense blades, which makes people's scalp tingle at a glance.

Now the water ghost was bound in the middle of the fishing net, and was pierced by the blade above, and his body was covered in bruises, and blood flowed all over the ground. His eyes were obviously blind, and he was clutching his right eyeball in pain, struggling and screaming frantically.

Cheng Lin reinstated, "Master, fortunately live up to the mission." ”

Shen Tingjun put away the sword and said, "It's useless to keep it, kill it." ”

The water ghost was still wailing, but when he suddenly heard this, he begged for mercy. He first said that he had many hidden treasures, and that he would spare his life, and that he was willing to give away all the jewels, which was a fortune that rivaled the richness of the country. He also said that he knew many secrets, whether it was the transportation of water, the salt tax, or the collusion between officials and the bandits. Leave him alone, he can help him exchange for the wealth of the sky.

Cheng Lin and Cheng Yi looked at Shen Tingjun, and even Sang Twisted Yue couldn't help but look at Shen Tingjun at this time.

Should I say that drowsiness meets a pillow?

Shen Tingjun went south this time to come for the salt tax, and he thought that this case would take at least a year and a half, but it was just a simple crackdown on bandits, which brought such a big surprise, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Sure enough, I heard Shen Tingjun say to Cheng Yi: "Take it down and waste your hands and feet, so you can watch it alive, don't let him die." ”

Cheng Yi responded and left with the water ghost, leaving Cheng Lin standing here and shouting, "The water ghost has been captured, put down the knife and gun, and avoid being slaughtered." ”

"If you don't kill with a knife, you can be caught quickly."

The scene was quickly controlled, but there was still a lot that needed Shen Tingjun to deal with the aftermath. Therefore, he only glanced at Sang Xuanyue deeply, raised his chin slightly and motioned for her to enter the cabin, and then strode away again, busy exterminating the remaining diehards.

The sound of fighting in my ears finally stopped, but the sound of whimpering came. It was the living weeping for their dead brothers. They wept bitterly, they didn't expect it to be so tragic this time.

Sang Xuanyue listened to the cry, and couldn't sleep anyway.

At this time, the situation outside was completely controlled, and the river was quiet again, only the strong smell of blood wafted into the air, which made people sigh one after another.

Su Jin yawned again, and Sang Twist Moon urged her to go back to sleep. On the outer splint are the black-clothed people brought by Shen Tingjun, and this passenger ship couldn't be safer.

Su Jin couldn't bear her urging, and thought that there were still many things to do the next day, so he also went back to the room.

And Sang Xuanyue sat up in the end, she pulled on her shoes and wanted to take a look at the window. But before the shoes were on her feet, she heard familiar footsteps coming towards her room.

Sang twisted Yue's heart and raised her throat eyes, and she grabbed her body. The next brocade quilt tried to restrain himself, so that he didn't let himself make a sound.

The footsteps seemed to stop at the door for a long time, and then just when Sang Xuanyue suspected that he would be guarding the door until dawn, he left again.

Sang Xuanyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she also had an irrepressible sense of loss.

She sat back on the bed, her hands on her knees, her head on her laps.

She let her mind wander through the night, her eyes dazed and dazed.

After a long time, the familiar footsteps came to the door again.

Sang Xuanyue looked over slowly, and heard a soft knock on the door outside.

She was still a little stunned, unaware that there was a knock on her door. But when she realized that it was him knocking on the door, Sang Xuanyue immediately panicked.

She sat up straight, her legs moving straight to the floor. She walked briskly forward, and when she was halfway there, she remembered that she was now only dressed in bedclothes, so she turned back in a panic and went to get the cloak that was attached to the screen.

I don't know if she was too eager, or if she happened to encounter a little wind and waves at this time, the boat surged, and the screen was directly pulled to the ground by her, and there was a series of sounds of "soldiers and soldiers".

Sang was smashed in the foot, and the pain finally brought her to her senses, and she realized what she was doing at this time.

But wasn't she always sober and aware of what she was doing?

Shen Tingjun asked worriedly from outside the door, "What's wrong with you, did you hit somewhere?" ”

Sang Xuanyue sobbed quietly, "I was smashed in my foot and couldn't get up." ”

As soon as her words fell, a wind rushed in. Then, before she could come back to her senses, she was already held in Shen Tingjun's arms.

Lonely man and widow, drowsy in the night, he washed again, and there was no smell of blood on his body. And she was wearing snow-white bedclothes, but her face was whiter than her clothes.

There was a faint body smell on her body, and she clutched the placket of his chest, quietly shedding tears, looking at him in a daze.

Shen Tingjun wanted to ask how her feet were, but under her charming and amorous eyes, his throat slid up and down, and he couldn't ask a word.

And Sang Xuanyue slowly approached him, almost entangled with his breathing, lips and teeth. She was like a fox in the dark night, spitting a fragrant breath, looking at him obsessively and saying, "Shen Tingjun, I'm a little scared, will you stay with me tonight?" ”
