Chapter 46

The three private boats that followed the official ship were not big, just the most common style of private boats

Just responsible for rowing boatman extraordinarily tough and robust, sitting in the cabin of the “passengers” are also strong men, everyone is placed in the hands of strange parcels

Long parcels put in the long gun, a little shorter put in the long knife

There are also weapons such as soft whip and iron stick

As long as no one boarded the ship into the cabin to check, so far away from watching, there is no difference

These three civilian boats are not parallel, each separated by about two miles of water

Mixed in with the boats coming and going on the river, they were not eye-catching at all

The first boat had the most people in it

There were about twenty strong men

The crippled beggar Scarface was among them, and the leading man with a tiger’s back and a pair of triangular eyes was the second leader of this group of water banditsSecond Boss, do we really want to risk this vote?”

Scarface asked somewhat uneasily, “There are really quite a few guards on this official ship

In case ” The crippled beggar snorted and snatched, “What kind of what if!

Scar, your guts are getting smaller and smaller

There are at most twenty guards on that official ship, plus the boatman, there won’t be more than forty

On our side, there are seventy people

Besides, we don’t intend to board the ship and kill anyone

We just need to pull out our swords to restrain them, grab the people and leave

We’re used to doing this kind of trick a long time ago!”

Of course there were risks

However, what they were doing was robbing and selling people with blood on their hands, so how could they become a big deal if they were afraid!

The second leader agreed to look at the crippled beggar: “The cripple is right

Want to make a big fortune, which have not risk

The big boss has let come to urge a few times, said the hands of the lack of good ‘goods’, barbarians over there is a nobleman leader, has offered two hundred horses for the high price of stunning beauty”

The eyes of the bandits in the cabin all lit up

Two hundred war horses!

If they were shipped to the Guan and sold, there would be at least seventy to eighty thousand taels!

According to the usual practice, the first and second masters will share one third, and the rest will be equally divided among all of them, which will be nearly a thousand taels

After finishing this job, it’s enough to spend a year or two on food, drink and fun!

Think of this

One by one, the emotions stirred up, spoke in tongues: “Scar, you this goon if you do not dare to do it, when the time comes to stay and watch the boat”That’s it

We want to follow the second master to do this”To eat meat and drink fast, how can we do it without taking some risks ” Scarface was laughed at by the crowd and shrunk his neck to keep quiet

Seeing his men rubbing their fists, the Second Lord was quite satisfied in his heart

Thinking of the glimpse at the pier in the daytime, his heart was again dumbfounded

The number of beautiful girls he has captured is not small

But like today this beautiful and moving but never seen before

Such a beautiful face

Not to mention the two hundred horses, is to ask for a higher price, there is no worry about not being able to sell

It is a pity that in order to sell a high price, it must be a virgin who has not been touched

It is to take people captive, he can only dry watch it

On second thought, after doing this job, he can get a large amount of silver

At that time, what kind of beautiful women do you want to have?Everyone be quiet for a moment”

The second leader collected his mind and said in a deep voice, “What we do is a head-killing offense, if we’re not careful, everyone’s life will be over

Before we do it, I have to say the rules again”First, no one is allowed to move without my order

Second, no killing, don’t covet the gold and silver on the ship, move fast, and retreat quickly after robbing someone

If there is anyone who does not listen to my orders ” The second donkey gave a sardonic laugh, a horrifyingly ferocious light emerging from his triangular eyes, “My sword does not recognize people”

The bandits who were excitedly clamoring just now answered in unison, and the cabin was suddenly much quieter

Crippled beggars rely on their own reporting credit

Boldly asked, “Second Boss, the night is long and dreamy, why don’t we do it tonight

Lest we follow all the way and cause the guards on the official ship to be suspicious”

The Second Boss said without thinking, “Wait first

We three ships

Take turns to follow and observe the movements on the ship, and wait until we have a clear picture of the exact situation on the ship before we make our move”

Two days later

The sky was getting dark, the boatmen had rowed for a day, and they were all exhausted

There are still dozens of miles of waterway from the next pier, no matter what, they will not be able to catch up with the docking pier

The leader of the boatmen specially went to report to the chief of the guards: ”

Tonight, we can only dock at the shore to rest”

After traveling the waterway for so many days

Such a situation has also been there

It was just that the boat traveled to a place off the beaten path, an empty wasteland by the river

Apart from the one or two civilian boats that occasionally passed by, there was no human population to be seen at all

The chief of the guards nodded and responded, “I’ll go report to the master and madam, you let everyone rest well”

When Master Ling found out, he only instructed, “Have the guards work harder at night and take turns on night duty”

This was just a precautionary move

Which curmudgeons would dare to hit the official ship?

The sky soon darkened

After everyone had their own dinner and sat around chatting for a while, they each went back to their cabins to rest

Bai Yu lit a candlestick

Ling Jingshu held it and read it softly to Ling XiaoAh Shu,” Ling Xiao suddenly frowned beautifully and said softly, “I’ve felt my heart jumping and sitting still all day today, I always feel as if something is going to happen?”

It was said that there was telepathy between twins, and it turned out to be true

Ling Jingshu had been restless all day and didn’t realize that Ling Xiao was just like herDon’t be paranoid, this journey is uneventful, nothing will happen”

Ling Jingshu pretended to be relaxed and cheerful to pacify Ling Xiao, but her eyes skimmed over the bamboo tube on her pillow

This is what she specially ordered Bai Yu to ask the boatman for

If something unexpected happens on the boat, just pull off the lid of the bamboo tube and throw it out with force, and a sky-high flame of light will emerge from the bamboo tube

You can see it even from thirty miles away

This is the official ship in distress distress signal

As long as such a flame is seen, no matter what kind of ship, must be rushed to the rescue in the shortest possible time

When the official ship travels, it is bound to have a few of these bamboo tubes

In fact, most of them do not have the opportunity to use, boatman boss there, stored half a basket of such bamboo tube

Therefore, when Bai Yu went to ask for one, it didn’t take much persuasion to get one

Ling Jingshu also had a sharp dagger hidden under her pillow

However, don’t tell Ling Xiao about such a thing, lest he get even more nervousYou’ve never traveled far or lived on a ship before, so you’re probably a bit nervous, that’s why you’re thinking nonsense”

Ling Jingshu softened her voice: “It’s already late, you should go back and wash up and sleep first!”

Ling Xiao answered sullenly

After coaxing Ling Xiao away, Ling Jingshu also simply freshened up and went to bed

Probably because her spirit was too tense, the slightest sound of the breeze blowing against the window was like a ringing in her ears

Ling Jingshu had a rare bout of insomnia, and it was not until after midnight that she fell asleep in a daze

Not knowing how long she slept, Ling Jingshu was abruptly awakened
