Chapter 45

There are all kinds of noisy sounds around, the exclamation of the crowd, the sound of tables and chairs shaking, the sound of plates and plates colliding, the sound of the captain shouting for warning and counterattack from somewhere, and the sound of piercing the air roaring in mid-air.

The most recent one was He Zong's eager voice sounding above her head.

"Go into the cabin and hide, hurry up."

Her entire face was tightly pressed against her chest by He Zong, and the back of her head and the back of her waist were under He Zong's broad palm.

Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to see the situation, but just as soon as she moved, she was hugged tightly by He Zong again.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The next moment, she soared into the air, and she finally had a chance to take a look at the situation while shaking.

There are people on the deck, and every big man holds a crossbow or a knife in his hand.

And the sound of piercing the sky she heard was the sound of arrows piercing the night sky.

He Zong was the first to run into the cabin holding her. She wanted to look up in He Zong's arms to see if others were following, but was held down by He Zong's hand again.

"Don't probe."

Only then did she realize that He Zong was holding her with one arm.

She was put down by He Zong after entering the cabin, and he told her with a serious expression, "You just wait here, don't go out until I come back."

After Ruan Jiaojiao answered 'yes' again, he explained to Gu Yue who came in first, "Don't go out, there are people guarding you at the door.

It's nothing to be afraid of after a few nights. "

Gu Yue pushed her sister towards Ruan Jiaojiao with one hand, "Go and follow Miss Ruan, don't wander around."

Turning to He Zong Zheng nodded, "I'm here."

It would probably be a disservice for him, a helpless scholar, to go out at such a time, and it would be better not to cause trouble for them here.

He took a general look at the situation on the ship when he came in. All the crew members looked like Lianjiazi, and the counterattack was quite fast, and they were definitely well-trained.

And He Zong, who claimed to be a businessman, was definitely even more difficult. He had already confirmed that these boats belonged to him.

He Zong turned his head and was about to go out after explaining, but Ruan Jiaojiao called to him, "Be careful."

"Ah."

He Zong didn't say anything else, and strode out the door.

At a distance of three to five steps away from the door of the cabin, he met Wei Yan and his servant, seeing him limping and walking with difficulty, He Zong couldn't help frowning.

"Go in and hide, don't walk around."

He didn't like Wei Yan, but he didn't want his life. At this time, he would definitely not make trouble.

Wei Yan only had time to look at him before He Zong walked away.

"Master, knife."

Hearing the sound, he saw that it was Zhao Sheng who ran over with a knife in one hand, and handed one of the jet-black knives to He Zong.

Even if He Zong could only see his back with the saber in hand, his aura was terrifying.

"Second young master, let's go in quickly."

Chang Shun was dying of anxiety, and his master was still injured, so nothing could happen again.

But He Zong's martial arts all over his body, even bandits and thieves would be frightened by him when they came.

At this moment, he felt lucky that He Zong was here.

Otherwise, which of them can deal with the thief?
Wei Yan was the last one to enter the cabin, and the moment they entered, the cabin door was closed.

There were six people in the small cabin, which seemed very crowded immediately, but there was no other way.

There is a small window in the cabin, which can barely see some of the outside situation, but the light is not good at night, and the visibility is very low.

The shouts of killing outside became louder and louder, but just listening to the voices, one could tell that the battle must be fierce.

Tongcheng, where they had just left at night, was actually targeted by thieves. I am afraid they had been targeted a long time ago, otherwise it would not have been so fast.

The neighborhood is deserted, and the thieves obviously chose the location long ago, and they are not beginners.

Ruan Jiaojiao wasn't worried that He Zong would be in danger, these days she watched He Zong practice martial arts every day, and with his skill, ordinary thieves couldn't do anything to him.

She was only worried about Yao Huang and the others. They should be in the kitchen now, and she didn't know what was going on.

"Have any thieves come on board?"

Miss Gu was terribly frightened, it was the first time she had encountered such a dangerous situation in such a grown-up, she was so frightened that she trembled even when she spoke, and her two little hands kept holding Ruan Jiaojiao's sleeve tightly.

Gu Li leaned over the window and watched, "Not yet. Both sides are shooting arrows at each other. It seems that our ship's counterattack is more valiant. The other party's ship can't get close yet."

"But did our boat get bumped just now, and will the thieves come aboard from behind?" Gu Ying made a guess.

Gu Li leaned closer and took a closer look, "I don't know, but now it seems that our boat is parallel to ours, and there is some distance away.

But this section of the river is not wide, and can only accommodate two boats in parallel at most, and the situation of the boat in front cannot be seen at all.

The thieves must have deliberately chosen to attack us on this section of the river, wanting to take advantage of the narrowness of the river to outflank us and not stop so that they could get on the boat more easily. "

Gu Ying's analysis is correct, the thieves really think so, and they have succeeded countless times on this river.

They didn't want to catch all the boats in the same boat, they only came for the boat of He Zong. They didn't care about the three boats in front of them. Zong surrounded them.

It's just because they have done an investigation a long time ago, and several young masters and ladies are all on this ship, and their purpose is to kidnap people.

The goods are valuable, but where are these delicate young masters and ladies valuable, and there is no need to sell them.

When the time comes, let them write letters to their families, and they will have as much money as they want.

But what they never expected was that they underestimated the strength of the boatmen on board.

I thought they were just mediocre boatmen, but it turned out that all of them were well-trained Lianjiazi.

The arrows used by the culprits were all ordinary arrows, but He Zong and the others used crossbow arrows, which were not comparable to ordinary arrows in terms of range or speed.

The moment they sent out the signal, the people on the boat also blew the warning whistle, and the boat also drove forward quickly, so that the thieves behind did not have the opportunity to board the boat.

But they didn't expect the boat that suddenly rushed out from another river to block them, and they could only be overtaken by the boat behind.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly, which prevented the thief boat from approaching.

Ruan Jiaojiao's ship was ahead, and when the captain heard the whistle, he immediately summoned his men to take precautions, ready to fight back at any time.

After confirming the situation, he told him to stop the boat and wanted to go back to help, but it was a pity that the river was not enough for the boat to turn around.

They can only shoot arrows across the river, the distance is too far, even the crossbow arrows cannot be shot at the thief boat behind, but a wave of arrows is wasted.

Someone suggested, "Let's send the boat over there to support."

The captain stood on the bow of the ship and looked out, "The uncle is here, let's wait and see what happens."
