shock!She can travel through time

Chapter 708
Unlike what Lin Wanwan saw in the film and television materials, the water bandits did not burn, kill and loot as soon as they came up.

Under the moonlight, two ships coming from the tributary approached menacingly, and issued a signal to ask them to lower their sails and stop the ship.

Don't look at Lin Wanwan's fleet has more ships than the opponent, and they are bigger, but the opponent's ships look like warships, small and flexible. If they fight, the more and bigger their fleet is, the easier it is to become the target of rockets.

Moreover, the other party's boats are filled with fully armed sailors, and most of them are landlubbers here.

Of the group of armed troops that Lin Wanwan recruited from Guanzhong, few could swim, and not long after the boat sailed, half of them got seasick.

Except for the arming part, they are women and children here, and Xiao Yixun's maid has a little force value, but because of seasickness, there is not much strength left.

Fortunately, before Lin Wanwan set off, she hired a bodyguard team boat in Luoyang, and those bodyguard masters who escorted the bodyguards at sea were also veteran sailors, who possessed military strength and water skills.

Another good news is that the opponent came here for money, and did not start the water battle immediately.Obviously, they were mainly looking for money, and they gave Lin Wanwan's fleet a chance to pay the guarantor.

On the boat with the most people in the bodyguard team, several lights were quickly lit up, and then Lin Wanwan saw a person standing in the center of the lights, holding a flag in his hand and making a semaphore.

Lin Wanwan asked herself the escort on this boat: "What is this expressing?"

"Back to the lady, this is to discuss with the other party to buy the road money."

Lin Wanwan was a little surprised, did the bodyguard team plan to pay for the money by themselves?

But after thinking about it carefully, she understood that the dart team that dared to travel thousands of miles was naturally prepared for this kind of expenditure.

Lin Wanwan is sure that the bandits and thieves along the way must have fed the other side a lot of money to buy roads.

For escorts, it is better to solve it with money than to work hard, anyway, the wool comes from the sheep.

For ordinary bandits who block roads and rob, getting money is the key, and it is not worthwhile to fight desperately with a bodyguard with a certain force value.

So generally speaking, when you encounter robbers, you can solve the problem by negotiation.

After Lin Wanwan saw a burst of semaphore communication, the two sides each sent a sampan to the river, and they met soon.

Obviously, the people on board the two sampans are their respective negotiators.

Lin Wanwan had a sleeve crossbow tied to her arm, ready to go. At the same time, she also held a pistol in her hand, turned off the safety, and was ready to shoot at any time.

She won't put all her hopes on others, and she has to be prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

More and more servants and minions had gathered around her, and those who were not so seasick all came over.

Lin Wanwan's main ship was guarded in the middle of the fleet, and there were guards at the front and back. If there was a fight, it was obvious that her ship would be relatively safe.

Although the boat of the water bandits is still about ten feet away from Lin Wanwan's fleet, if they launch an attack at full speed, it will only take an instant to get close.

If she could settle it with money, Lin Wanwan would naturally be more willing to spend money to settle it. Anyway, she was very rich in the Tang Dynasty, and she didn't feel so bad about spending some pepper glass.

In the Tang Dynasty, pepper and silk can be used directly as money without having to cash it out first, which is much more convenient than in modern times.Modern times do not recognize your antiques and gold and silver treasures as money, you have to work hard to cash out the good things you have first.

Not long after, Lin Wanwan saw the two sampans separated, apparently the negotiation was over, and it was time to pay for the road.

Lin Wanwan watched the sampan heading directly towards her main ship. Was she going to report to her and ask her to make up her mind?Or should she pay for the road?

No matter what, Lin Wanwan felt that she could accept it.Of course, it would be better if this money for buying roads was directly included in the escort fee for the escort team.

Soon the sampan leaned on the boat, and the people on it were pulled up by Lin Wanwan's men.

The bodyguard quickly came towards Lin Wanwan, saluted straight to the point and said: "Lady, I have negotiated the toll with the other party just now, it's just..."

Seeing that the visitor hesitated, Lin Wanwan said unhappily, "Just what? Tell me."

"It's just that the other party not only wants money, but also people." The bodyguard replied with shame on his face, "They want us to send some beautiful maids over here after paying the money."

As soon as this remark came out, the hearts of the pretty maids around Lin Wanwan sank, and they became a little flustered.

Everyone was afraid that they would be the ones handed over by the master.

This kind of thing is nothing unusual. For the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, slaves are not human beings, but assets. Even the law directly stipulates that "slaves are more lawful than livestock", and they can be traded.

However, Lin Wanwan is a modern person!
Although she now has more and more servants in her family, she never regards the people who serve her as goods.

She only regards everyone as employees and nannies. She can accept spending money to eliminate disasters, but she can never accept giving away people to buy roads.

What the water bandits want is a maid with a good face, so what does this mean?

It was entirely obvious what would happen to the delivered maid.

"Impossible!" Lin Wanwan flatly refused, "Tell them, I can pay a little more ransom, if you want money, you can, but if you want people, no!"

"My lady, it's actually just a few maids. After you cross this waterway, go to the tooth shop to buy it." As a native of the Tang Dynasty, the people in the escort team don't care much about the lives of the maids.

Lin Wanwan sneered and said, "Since it's so easy to buy slaves, they take the money and go to the tooth shop to buy them. It's impossible to ask for someone from me!"

"This--"

"Okay! No need to say more, I've made up my mind!" Lin Wanwan interrupted the visitor coldly, and said decisively in a tone with no room for change, "You can ask for money, but if you don't want anyone, just say so. Before you go, Prepare your dart team for tough battles!"

The visitor's lips moved, he wanted to say something but didn't say it, he bowed in response, "Here".

Then he retreated, climbed onto the sampan again, and headed towards the boat where his bodyguard team was.

When a group of maids surrounded Lin Wanwan heard that Lin Wanwan categorically rejected their request to hand them over, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this moment, Jiyue and Yuncai came out more and more, and suddenly knelt down towards Lin Wanwan, kowtowed and said, "My lady, I am willing to pave the way for my lady's safety, so just hand me over."

With these two beginnings, some of the maids reacted and expressed their willingness to dedicate themselves.

If the master treats people like dogs, people will behave like dogs; if he treats people like state officials, people will also act like state officials.

Lin Wanwan protects them, so they are naturally willing to put their hearts to shame for her.

If you encounter water bandits, you really want to fight, the sword has no eyes, who can guarantee that the master will not be injured.
