109, the tenth mirror of Jiang Xuanche (8)
"The comer is not good, it is too late for us to retreat at this time, it is better to ......"
The boss of the boat felt that one person was short and two people were long, and seeing that Lin Ning and Jiang Xuanche seemed to have an idea, he discussed countermeasures with the two of them.
The boat boss said that in previous years, when he encountered water bandits on the river, he really couldn't hide and couldn't beat them, so he gave some of his wealth and goods for safety. But this group of water bandits didn't see the right momentum, and he didn't know if he could avoid the disaster in this way.
Seeing that there were two small boats copied from the east and west, Lin Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had a plan, pulling Jiang Xuanche and the boat boss to whisper.
As the enemy ships got closer and closer, they could already see the ragged bandits with notched scimitars in their hands, constantly circling their heads, and uttering bursts of cries from their mouths.
Seeing that the enemy's two small boats were about to crash into the merchant ship, the other party suddenly threw a long rope with a hook from the boat, swished onto the boat gang, and nailed it to the wooden fence on the inside of the boat gang.
The water bandits on the two small boats smiled and climbed up the rope to the boat, but after climbing up, they looked left and right, showing a confused expression.
Soon more than a dozen people from both small boats jumped onto the merchant ship, but they only gathered together and looked at each other.
"There is no one on this boat, I saw the lights on just now. ”
The bandits got together and discussed it, and decided to disperse and search the cabin.
At this moment, a loose wooden plank on the deck suddenly broke into a cloud of sawdust, and two black shadows burst out from below, and the blades in their hands flashed with cold light, killing into the unsuspecting water bandits, like two hungry wolves killing into a flock of sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
These two figures are Lin Ning and Jiang Xuanche.
I saw that the two of them echoed each other in advance and retreat, and all the movements were the same as mirrors, like two double-sided whirling knives connected by long ropes, colliding and bounced off each other, harvesting a piece of life and then spinning, slashing each other's enemies behind each other.
Before the enemy could organize an effective counterattack, Jiang Xuanche and Lin Ning killed them without leaving a single piece of armor, leaving only a slightly more decently dressed living mouth.
Lin Ning pulled down the blood-stained face towel on his face, stepped over the corpses all over the ground, picked up a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, walked to the already paralyzed living mouth, took out a rope to tie his hands behind his back, and said with a cool smile:
"Do you know what we kept you alive for?"
Lin Ning kicked the captive and made him face overboard. Behind the two of them, Jiang Xuanche and the boat boss led all the crew members to neatly strip off all the clothes on the corpse.
The captive's teeth trembled when he heard Lin Ning's words, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Lin Ning didn't plan to listen to his answer either.
However, after a while, Jiang Xuanche walked to Lin Ning's side with two clothes that looked slightly complete.
When they started, the two of them paid attention to the direction of their hands, and basically did not cause any damage to the enemy's clothes, but the clothes of this group of people themselves really couldn't be more tattered, so what Jiang Xuanche was holding in his hand was still like two rags.
Lin Ning frowned almost uncheckably, picked up one of them, and said to Jiang Xuanche: "You tell him what you should say, I'll clean it up first, if you delay too long, the other side will be suspicious." ”
Jiang Xuanche nodded, and after watching Lin Ning leave, he squatted in front of the captive and explained something in a low voice.
Lin Ning entered the cabin, thought about it and put the clothes of the bandits on the outside of the night clothes, and evenly smeared the plaster on the exposed skin to cover the reflective feeling of smooth and fair skin.
She checked her gear.
Hidden in the wrist is a small bow and crossbow, which can be completely concealed by the sleeve. The bow is so ingenious that it fires five small arrows in quick succession, which need to be reloaded after firing.
There is a dagger hidden on the left and right in the boots under his feet, and the most convenient is the long sword he wears on weekdays.
Lin Ning thought about it, put the saber back into the sheath, held it in his hand, and collected a few light and delicate objects from all over the cabin, wrapped them in the package in his hand, and carried it on his shoulder with a long sword.
After staying on the deck, seeing that the captive was already dead, Lin Ning took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and took out a small pill for the ship boss to feed the captive.
"What is his identity, have you asked clearly?" Lin Ning asked Jiang Xuanche.
"It's a small boss, a fellow of the bandit boss, and he is very trusted on weekdays. Jiang Xuanche said, looked at the bottle in Lin Ning's hand and asked, "What did you give him?"
Lin Ning's conversation with Jiang Xuanche did not avoid the captives. Hearing this, the captives also tilted their heads and ears to hear the answer.
Lin Ning smiled and said, "Three-day Intestine Breaking Pill." If we can live this time, we will give him an antidote, and if we die, he will not live. ”
Then he glanced lightly in the direction of the captive and said, "Do you understand?"
The captive nodded like garlic.
After a short time, everything was ready to stop, and at this time, it was only a stick of incense before the bandits jumped into the gang, and when the ragged "water bandits" got down to the boat again, no one knew that this group of people had actually been frozen by Li Daitao.
Guided by the captives, the boat gradually approached the camp of the bandits.
After sending two small boats of bandits to intercept the merchant ships, the bandits did not seem to have lost any heart about this matter, and returned to the camp one after another.
This captive seemed to have some status in the camp, and seeing that he brought back men and horses, and still held the spoils of war in his hands, no one questioned it, and actually let Lin Ning, Jiang Xuanche, the boat boss and a group of sailors disguised as bandits all the way to the center of the village.
Lin Ning looked around, this water village seemed to be originally a Zhuangzi, and the so-called Zhongjun Hall was the original main house of Zhuangzi.
The four doors of the main room were open, and a burly man sat in the center.
The captive walked up the hill quickly, bowed his head and said flatteringly: "King Qiqi, all the people on that merchant ship have been killed by us, and I have found a lot of good things on that ship, and I think that these good things are only worthy of the king." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand to the bandit behind him and said, "Why don't you offer the baby yet?"
I saw a rather thin and ragged bandit walking out of the bandits, holding a glittering sword in both hands.
The king's eyes lit up when he saw the long sword, and his waist unconsciously straightened forward, so he wanted to look more carefully.
Seeing that this thin water bandit was about to walk next to the king, the curtain behind the middle seat was lifted, but a Confucian in a long robe walked out.
When this Confucian student saw the scene in front of the hall, he frowned, and scolded the little leader of the captive: "Seeing that Your Majesty didn't kneel, and let the idle people and others go to the hall with swords and soldiers, what they said on weekdays is regarded as a deaf ear?"
After the reprimand, he gave a long bow to the king and called him Your Majesty. "Your Majesty, please allow your minister to present the sword. ”
The king nodded reluctantly, and Confucius glanced at the captive leader contemptuously and walked towards the thin bandit.
The thin water bandit was Lin Ning, and he secretly said trouble in his heart at this time. Behind him, Jiang Xuanche took advantage of the crowd to cover his eyes and stared at the captive leader.
The leader of the captives was shocked.
