Chapter 156 Water Bandits (Part 1)
Da Yongli
July, 1154.
Yuezhou State, south of Jiaohe River.
A large ship was sailing steadily on the quiet water, and the lantern hanging on the ship had the word "Tang" written on it.
This was not the Tang in the Great Tang Dynasty, but it meant that the owner of the ship was surnamed Tang.
It should have been a calm and starless night, but at this time, small boats could be seen sailing out of the nearby reed marshes quickly, and almost at the same time they all docked around the large ship.
Not long after, shrill screams pierced the night sky, and the boatmen shouted "There are water ghosts!", trying to wake up the people on the boat who were still sleeping.
Water ghosts are the name given by the locals, and they are actually water bandits.
These people are very good at swimming, and they specialize in appearing at night, burning, killing, looting, and then escaping into the reed marshes. Their whereabouts are mysterious and difficult to find, so they are called water ghosts.
They climbed out of the small boats, or even the water, and boarded the boats. Once they got on board, they waved their sharp blades and killed people everywhere.
This kind of big ship is obviously owned by a wealthy family, full of money and water, so the pirates are naturally very dedicated.
The awakened boatman and servants are not without resistance, and they all picked up swords and shields to fight with the pirates. If they surrender at this time, they will basically have no chance of survival.
"Miss! Miss!"
The maid knocked on the door frantically, and soon Miss Tang opened the door with clothes on.
"Miss, there is a water ghost!"
"Don't be afraid, just fight it off."
This Miss Tang's name is Tang Lianyu. Although she is a rich lady, she is not a soft and cute girl who can only scream when encountering trouble. Upon hearing this, she picked up a small dagger and led the trembling maid to the deck.
At this time, a black shadow rushed over from the side, grabbed Miss Tang's hand and smiled:
"The girl is white and pretty, go and have some fun with your brother."
"Let go!"
Miss Tang's eyes widened, and she shouted fearlessly:
"You are born as human beings, but you do such things that are worse than pigs and dogs. Don't you have any shame!"
"Haha, brother will let you know what shame is later."
During the tug, there was a loud bang, and the bandit who was holding Miss Tang's eyes widened on the spot and lay softly on the ground.
With a circle of smoke that was not obvious at night, Tang Lianyu turned to face the bandits fighting on the deck and said sternly:
"Get out! Otherwise, the unique hidden weapon in my hand will not recognize anyone!"
The bandits had indeed never seen such a situation, and they were all a little scared.
At this time, accompanied by a sneer, the bandit leader carrying an iron ring and a big knife walked onto the deck.
"What kind of hidden weapon is this? A musket is a musket. Do you think you have never seen a man before?"
Tang Lianyu was a little panicked now and quickly pointed the gun at him.
The latter was not afraid at all and shouted:
"The musket in that girl's hand can only fire one shot. Come on now!"
Tang Lianyu did not expect that some of these country bandits actually knew about muskets, and even knew that this thing could only fire one shot. She immediately panicked.
But at this moment, the bandit who had just climbed up the side of the ship was kicked away on the spot before he could even laugh wildly, and his body bounced twice on the deck...
–-——---——
Earlier, Yang Yiyi squatted on the black-sailed boat and looked up at the moon.
Originally, she wanted to look at the stars, but the weather was not very good today, so she could only look at the moon.
It's not that Yang Yiyi has nothing to do, because Li Chengxi had said before that Yang Yiyi should pay more attention to the things around her, and maybe she could comprehend the magic skill.
Of course, the wording of the magic skill was made up by Yang Yiyi herself.
Now Yang Yiyi has an unconditional trust in Li Chengxi. She will definitely believe whatever Li Chengxi says. So, apart from occasionally moving her hands and feet, she spent almost all her time on observation on the boat.
Yang Yiyi has become accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early. When she was in the sect, she always got up before dawn to practice martial arts and chop wood, and then make fire and cook. So when Zheng Yinping and Li Yingluo were still sleeping, she had already gotten up to look at the moon.
Just at this time, she heard a burst of small noises. Yang Yiyi got up and looked in the direction of the river. She saw a large ship parked on the water, and there seemed to be a circle of small boats around it.
"Miss, don't look at it. It's a local pirate."
The boatman rowing the boat was Zheng Yinping's man. He had been lurking in Yuezhou for a long time. He knew what was going on at a glance.
"There are many bandits on the Jiao River, but as long as you arrange it well, you can get through safely. Generally, they will not easily resort to violence."
"Why doesn't the government care?"
"The government?"
The boatman curled his lips:
"This bandit is owned by the government. The money received is shared with the local officials. The government provides cover for the bandits. Occasionally, if they encounter someone who doesn't know what to do, the bandits will teach them a lesson, otherwise it will be difficult to collect money in the future."
Yang Yiyi was extremely shocked when she heard this. She was so simple that she never thought that the government would be in cahoots with bandits.
"Miss, don't show up later. I have already arranged it. When you pass by, just shout and they will ignore us."
Maybe the voice was a little loud, or maybe it was because the black-sailed boat was getting closer and closer to the big ship, and the fighting and screaming became clearer and clearer. Zheng Yinping and Li Yingluo, who were resting in the cabin, were woken up one after another.
The two looked at the big ship at the bow, especially the Tang lantern hanging on the ship, and stayed for a second longer.
"Something is wrong. That's the ship of Tangfeng Trading Company. They have been sailing on Jiaohe River for a long time. It's impossible that they don't know the rules."
There may be something wrong here, but generally speaking, you shouldn't ask too many questions.
Yang Yiyi didn't care, but Zheng Yinping and Li Yingluo were still being hunted by the Plum Blossom Guards. It was obviously not a good idea to cause trouble in the enemy's territory.
But Zheng Yinping looked at Yang Yiyi who was eager to help, and said to the boatman:
"Come over, you hide on the boat later, we will go up to help."
Zheng Yinping was not so kind-hearted to fight for justice. If it was on the territory of his own country, he wouldn't have to think too much, but when the enemy country was still being hunted, he should try not to get involved.
"This Tangfeng Trading Company is quite large, and their ships can sail smoothly in Yuezhou. Doing them a favor can help us pass smoothly."
Now the Plum Blossom Guards did not catch up, but how to get out of the pass was a big problem.
It was a pipe dream to want to secretly pass through the border with just a black-sailed boat. There was a sluice at the pass, and it was impossible to pass through.
Zheng Yinping originally thought of finding a way to deal with the local officers when he got there, but now that he encountered the Tangfeng Trading Company's boat that could be "visa-free", it would naturally be safer to follow them.
The boatman wanted to say a few more words, but he knew his lady's temper, so he had to ask her to be more careful, and then manipulated the rudder to get closer.
Before the black-sailed boat docked on the big ship, Yang Yiyi, who couldn't wait any longer, jumped directly onto the towering ship's side.
This is the effect of the fish-leaping skill.
This light skill has two advantages, one is high jump, and the other is the ability to cross the water.
But this light skill is still very crude, and it can't cross the river with a reed. It can only jump twice on the water surface, and then it has no strength and falls into the water.
However, the advantage of high jump is still worth praising. Yang Yiyi really jumped up like a fish jumping out of the water.
Just seeing a water bandit climbing up with a machete, Yang Yiyi simply kicked him away and landed steadily on the deck.
Looking at the desperate pirates and the surprised eyes of the boatmen on the deck, Yang Yiyi felt that she was now a hero.
She gathered her strength and shouted like thunder:
"Stop! How dare a small bandit rob a civilian ship in broad daylight? Is there still law?"
Everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Now, it seems to be midnight...
