Before and after the Great War, there is usually a period of lull. For example, in the past few days, Don is on the way to the capital of Bran, Bran reinforcements are on the way to the front line, the front-line barbarians are on the way to attack the defense line of the Bran army, and the gray army in the defense line is on the way to expand the results......

Look, everyone is on the way. Occasionally, it's a little different, also because someone is on the waterway......

The river is vast and immense, and the sparkling waves reflect the golden yellow of the setting sun. In the distance, a cold fog gradually grew and spread silently. Occasionally, a few waterfowl will be startled by the waves chopping the bow of the boat, stepping on the water, fluttering far away, bringing a little life to this static picture.

There are not many waterways in Bran, and once there are big rivers. For example, the boundless river that separates Bran from north to south, which is where this large ship is now passing through Guò.

The so-called forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. When the river is wide, some hidden dangers and scourges will come out. It is also known as relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on water to drink water.

It is a well-known fact that there are many mountains and bandits in the north of Bran. In this way, it is naturally normal for the bandits to come out of the river at the moment.

And the reason why it is not very famous is not because there are not enough bandits here, but because it is a commercial through-line, which Bran attaches great importance to and has made great efforts to clean it up. Therefore, as long as you walk in the prescribed waterway, there is generally no problem. Otherwise, it's hard to say......

At this time, the wheelhouse inside the cabin was full of blood, some big men dressed as sailors were lying on the ground, and the murder weapons such as hammers, iron slurry and iron chains were scattered around, moaning slightly.

"Smuggling...... Well, don't you know that smuggling is illegal?" rubbed his forehead with one hand. Somewhat distressed. Mixiu, who wore a silver mask, grabbed his bloated body with one hand. Blood-stained captain's hair. Pressed on the operating table, he asked lightly, "So, our current position is not in the prescribed waterway?"

"Yes...... Whoosh...... Yes. "Vomiting blood, his teeth seem to have fallen out a lot, and it is very difficult for the captain to speak.

"I have a question, what should you do if you encounter water bandits?"

"No...... It won't be so coincidental, whew...... And we are acquainted with some water bandits. When the time comes, as long as it is, whew...... Just pay some tolls and you'll be ......."

"That's right...... As far as I know, there are a lot of bandits here, divided into many factions, you know them all?"

"I—I know some ......"

"Oh, by the way, you're a smuggler," Mi Xiu nodded thoughtfully, and slammed the captain's head against ......the iron console. Immediately, blood splashed everywhere, and screams were repeated. "You TM know that you are a smuggler, but you dare to take my money and take me on the ship?"

"Ahhh

In a burst of wailing, the cabin door was pushed open. A young man burst in and said hurriedly, "Captain, there are many small boats about five miles in front of the ship, and they are rapidly surrounding us. The flag language is invalid, it should be a water bandit. ”

After a pause, Mi Xiu took a slight breath, lifted the boat that was slumped on the ground, wiped the blood stains on the other party's face, and said softly, "Now, your chance has come, I hope your face works." I don't want the money, but if the other party doesn't give you face and forcibly boards the ship, you don't expect me to give you face. Got it?"

"Understood, understood...... Rest assured ......"

"Good, I like smart people. Let's go, I'll accompany you to the bow of the boat. ”

The trembling captain walked to the door of the cabin, remembered something, and after a pause, Mi Xiu turned his head to look at the young man and asked, "What is that man doing now?"

"I stayed in the cabin and didn't move. The young man seemed to know who Mi Xiu was asking, and replied without hesitation.

"Invite her to the deck...... Be polite, in the name of the boss. ”

"Yes. ”

"Also, let the people of the chief's family stay in the cabin and don't come out. ”

Walking out of the cockpit, Mi Xiu's eyes flashed slightly under the silver mask, and he looked a little depressed.

Tang En handed over the matter of arranging for the members of the Josia family to go to the north, and Mixiu did it, which already showed that this matter was serious. After Mi Xiu took over, he didn't dare to slack off, and he carefully took a group of people to approach a port city and decided to go back by water.

Of course, taking the waterway here does not mean taking a boat that is specially manned. It was a channel controlled by the government, and the investigation was also very strict. Although the members of the Josia family have not yet been completely exposed, Michau does not want to take this risk, so he sets his sights on merchant ships.

To say that merchant ships bring people to earn some extra money, this is a very common thing. It's just that they have a bit of a lot of people, and the average merchant ship doesn't have so many cabin placements. After waiting for many days, they spent a lot of money to contact a suitable large merchant ship two days ago, that is, this ship is now willing to take them to the north.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but who would have thought that this merchant ship was a smuggling ship. It is not exactly a regular waterway, and on the way, you will pass through places frequented by bandits. And by the time Mi Xiu found out that something was wrong, it was too late to clean up the smuggling crew, and now the bandits had already come to the door......

Exhaling, Mi Xiu shook his head slightly. If it were just them, it wouldn't matter how many bandits came. Even if they are outnumbered, they can always escape. But now the key is that the personnel of the Josia family are also on this ship, and once they start, the meager manpower here will obviously not be able to take care of it.

Fortunately, what a coincidence, she was also on the boat...... Thinking of the man who came in a hurry when he left the boat two days ago, Mi Xiu suddenly felt a lot more relieved. With her strength, as long as she makes a move, it won't be a problem for just a water bandit. The question is that if you do it later, what reason should you use to persuade her to help?

Thinking about it, Michaeu led the smuggling captain to the bow of the ship. Now the boats had come to a halt, and about three miles ahead of them, as the young man had said, many small boats were rapidly approaching this way. Faintly, laughter and shouts can be heard in the wind.

Mi Xiu squinted, looked at the Dao Dao blade light reflected on those small boats, and once again confirmed the identity of the other party, there is no doubt that it is indeed a water bandit. He turned his head to look at the captain beside him, who was staring at him with wide-bruised eyes, and asked, "Acquaintance?"

"I ...... I can't see ......."

"Don't be nervous, I'll describe it to you...... Most of them wear dark black clothes, and some leather armor, which is also black. The weapon in the hand is a long-handled single-sided axe......"

"Tiger shark! God...... It's a tiger shark bandit!" Before Mixiu could finish speaking, the smuggling captain seemed to think of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he screamed in horror.

Seeing this, Mi Xiu frowned: "You don't know?"

"I, I, I...... I know, I know ......"

Shaking his head, "Hehe, you're really a smart person." You know them, but they don't know you. Right?" Afterglow swept the young man's men to the deck with a man in a hooded robe, and Mi Xiu patted the smuggling captain on the shoulder with a face full of fear, "It seems that you are useless to me. ”

"I—I'll sail...... Don't kill me, I'll sail!" Seeing that the delaying scheme was exposed, the smuggling captain retreated again and again, shouting in panic.

"Unfortunately, I will too. When the words fell, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind the smuggling captain, carrying the placket of the other party's back coat, and threw it far into the river.

"No—to—" poof, the screams disappeared, and the water splashed.

He didn't die immediately, since he was the captain of the ship, he was naturally familiar with the nature of the water, and after a while, he appeared on the floating and sinking river and kept fluttering. But no matter how good he is in the water, it is impossible for him to swim to the shore in this boundless river.

"Why?"

A faint voice, with a question. Turning around, looking at the robed figure quietly on the deck, Mi Xiu thought of the other party's character, and while walking over, he spread his hands and patiently explained: "This is a smuggling ship, the captain is uneasy and kind, and took us to the area of the bandits. ”

After a pause, a foot away from the robed figure, Mi Xiu bowed and saluted, "Introduce yourself, Mi Xiu, Boss Don's subordinate." ”

The robed figure thought for a moment and spoke, "Gray space?"

"Not bad. ”

"You know me?"

"I've seen it a few times, and I've often heard the boss mention it, and I'm very impressed, but I haven't seen you in person...... Well, besides, I booked that hotel. ”
