I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 212 Hands-on (one more)
"Shui Qinghe and his disciples are not weak in kung fu. It's really hard for us to predict the real skills, and those garrisons on the mountain...you and I should be careful..."

The moon came out, illuminating another man's face clearly, with a thin face, squinting towards the middle of the river.

Qi Tianyin stationed a cavalry and archery battalion in the high mountains around the capital, and there were nearly a hundred archers stationed beside the battalion—and Dong Jiasheng, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, attached great importance to the training of archers and other security forces, and even intentionally trained an excellent garrison army .It can be seen that these killers are still quite afraid of them.

"I don't know which mountain Dong Jiasheng is on tonight." The thin man said, if the defenders were disturbed now, what happened tonight might not be possible. Thinking of this, he gave Scarface a wink.

In the water, Scarface stabbed the skinny man and asked him, "Master, do you really want to kill them all?" He was still chewing on something.

"You can do it if you tell you to do it, what's the point."

The few people hiding in the woods heard what they said, and their hearts trembled: Kill them all?
Before Beixue and Xingyun could react, they heard the sound of water breaking. It was someone boarding the black-covered boat docked on the shore. Sure enough, after a while, there was a deep and threatening voice: " If you want to survive the pain, don’t scream! If you scream, I’ll chop you up with a knife!” Immediately, he turned the handle of the knife and hit the boatman hard on the temple. With a muffled groan, his body fell limply.

Seeing that Scarface put the knife into the crack of the door and was about to push the latch open, Xingyun winked at Beixue, stepped back half a step, and disappeared.

On the other side, when the door latch was about to be lifted, Scarface grabbed the back of the knife point, gently pushed the door open and entered.

The man suddenly entered the dark environment, his eyes were darkened, but someone in the dark had already adapted to the light in the dark, grabbed the wrist of Scarface holding the broken knife, and stabbed at his eyes with two fingers.

The scarred face was also amazing, his eyes were poked, and he screamed in pain, but his wrist struggled away from the opponent's hand, and he jumped to the corner of the cabin with a rush, his eyes were bloody, and the broken knife in his hand was still there. , dancing wildly to prevent the other party from advancing, and shouting out of the cabin: "Brother Hu, there is an ambush, I was poked blind, come in and save me."

"Tell your mother to be careful, there is such a big commotion and the boat is startled, the boss wants to start early..." The thin man outside shouted in a deep voice.

Xingyun waved his sword like a knife and slashed at the man in the corner of the cabin, and there was a sudden scream from outside the boat, mixed with the sound of flooding, and it seemed that Brother Hu was dead.

Scarface's eyes were bleeding from the poke, and he couldn't see the length of the broken knife in his hand. He raised his hand to parry when he heard the wind, blocked the gap, and was cut into his brow bone by the steel sword forcefully, and the sword was stuck by the bone. Crooked, with force in his hand, he pulled out the bloody sword.Hearing the voice coming from behind again, without the slightest hesitation, he jumped out of the window with a light touch, plunged into the water, and dived under the wooden oar at the stern before surfacing to take a breath.

This series of actions only took a few tens of seconds, and the lake surface became calm again.

Just as Lu Xizhi breathed a sigh of relief, the surface of the river suddenly changed.

Several boats by the ferry and the painting boats were 80 to [-] meters away from the embankment. At this moment, there was a sudden chaos. Two boats caught fire, and the night of the river was burned bright red in the blink of an eye. , two archers on one of the boats had drawn their arrows and raised their bows to stare at the water. Lu Xizhi and the others hid behind a tree and did not dare to make a sound. After a while, they heard someone swimming over, jumping on the wupeng boat just now and asking, "What's going on?" thing?"

"Scar and Brother Hu lost their hands..." Someone answered.

"Mother, how could you miss it?"

"Scar entered the cabin to kill someone, and was ambushed. He was struck by an iron sword between the eyebrows. Brother Hu wanted to follow in to see, but was ambushed. The man had disappeared... Should we send two people into the water to chase after him?"

"A broken boatman, send someone to look for it, and the rest of them will go on the boat, and the boat cannot be docked."

At this time, Xing Yun's body from the tip of his nose was immersed in the water, and he looked at them coldly.

The fire on the lake also disturbed the garrison stationed on the mountain. The high place has a wide view, and the officers and soldiers can see the burning boats and dozens of suspicious shadows on the lake. He immediately sent a message: "Notify Commander Dong, there are water bandits .”

The killer raised his head and glanced up the mountain, "The evil star Dong Jiasheng is here, it's more difficult, let's go together immediately, the boat is also set on fire, we must not let the boat dock."

Lu Xizhi also saw that there were torches on the mountain extending all the way down, and clusters were being lit. This meant that the garrison battalion had discovered the fire on the lake and sent reinforcements to investigate. Listening to the conversation at the bow of the Wupeng boat, he thought to himself These killers are more or less afraid of Dong Jiasheng.

But just now she muttered in her heart, if Fan Ming and Chang Renxin were going to kill people to silence them, how could they make such a big noise?
"Miss Lu doesn't know that there are water bandits on both sides of the lower reaches of the Xinyue River all the year round. Although the court has cracked down on them a few times, there are always some desperadoes who are not afraid of death who will take risks. Fan Ming and the others must take advantage of this and bring If this matter is pushed to the water bandits, it will be more troublesome for us to investigate."

"Sure enough, it's cunning."

"Don't worry, girl, Donghai knows how to measure."

The killers on the shore abandoned their black boats one after another, and quickly jumped onto the long pole of a three-masted sand boat whose gang was about as high as the painting boat, and boarded the painting boat. Robbers', ready to rush to the boat with their weapons in hand.

Seeing this, Lu Xizhi was convinced that the killers were not only after the 'resurrected' Bilian, they were going to kill everyone on the lake.Moreover, the plan was well-planned. The purpose of sending people to sneak into the other ships at the ferry from the shore was to hold these ships away from the river bank when they suddenly launched, so as to prevent these ships from being used as a means of transportation to support the boats on the shore. This is very in line with the style of water bandits.

That big three-sailed ship should be the main warship this time, and I don't know when it sneaked in and stopped at the ferry, but it didn't arouse the vigilance of others. There were obviously many killers hidden in the ship.The seven or eight boats parked by the ferry were all small and medium-sized merchant ships and fishing boats. They were small and unguarded, and they fell silently.

The fire illuminated the entire lake, but there were not many residents by the ferry, and the fight was far away in the middle of the lake, so no one was woken up.

Following the light of the fire, Lu Xizhi looked at Huafang through the binoculars.

Liu Yiyi's cooks, servants, and maids don't need to think about it. In addition to the guards of Shui Qinghe's master and apprentice, there are more than a dozen boatmen and oarsmen hired by the river gang from other places, and they are not defenseless at all.

For the time being, there are no thieves on the boat, Shui Qinghe is standing at the bow of the boat, holding a round shield in his left hand and a dagger in his right, forcing a man in black who is trying to get on the boat into the water.

However, Bei Xue frowned.

Not only Bei Xue, but even Lu Xizhi became suspicious when he saw the actions of those killers.

At this time, Xing Yun walked over with his whole body wet, without wasting any time, and said: "Those people are not killers, they are real water bandits!"

　One more later.
