Chapter 48

Ah Shu, are we going to die here today?”

Ling Xiao clutched Ling Jingshu’s arm tightly, his trembling voice filled with fear

He could not see with his eyes, but his ears were extraordinarily sensitive

The bursts of beating and screams coming from the ship’s board clearly drilled into his ears

When encountering something like this, not only was Ling Xiao’s heart chilling, but how could Ling Jingshu not be afraid?

But she was Ling Xiao’s backbone

If she panicked, Ling Xiao would panic even more

Ling Jingshu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down

Since the heavens had allowed her to be reborn for a second time, they would not take her life so easily!There are more than twenty highly skilled guards on this official ship, as well as nearly twenty boatmen, with them on board, they will definitely be able to hold off those bandits”

Ling Jingshu quickly whispered, “Moreover, I’ve already grabbed and released a distress signal, and someone will soon come to our rescue

We will definitely be safe”

The calm and soft voice calms the panicked and helpless Ling Xiao a bit, and he apologetically whispers, “Ah Shu, it’s all because of me that you followed along to the capital

If there is any accident ” “There will be no accidents!”

Ling Jingshu interrupted Ling Xiao decisively, firmness coming through her soft and gentle voice: “Don’t scare yourself”

Such firm confidence not only infects Ling Xiao, but Bai Yu Jing Yu’s several maids are also calmed down quite a bit

There were no candlesticks lit in the cabin and it was dark

As a result, no one could see Ling Jingshu’s unusual expression at this moment

The words she said just now were to calm Ling Xiao and Bai Yu’s hearts, but as she listened to the increasingly intense sounds of shouting and killing coming from outside, Ling Jingshu’s heart sank a little bit

It was obvious that the bandits had the advantage of more people and had gotten the upper hand

It was just that these bandits didn’t seem to have the intention of killing and exterminating each other, and were still stalking each other

In his previous life, when Master Ling’s family returned to the capital, they had never encountered any water bandits on the way, nor had they had any accidents

Why is it that a bunch of bandits who don’t know where they came from have appeared at this time?

In the end, where did it all go wrong?

This river is quite secluded and desolate, this is also late at night, even if there are passing ships

Even if there is a passing boat, it must have anchored and rested

I don’t know if there are any boats that have seen the distress signal to come to the rescue

If no one comes to the rescue, these bandits killed up, this thin door plate how to resist?

Ling Jingshu fixed her mind and said, “Bai Yu, Jing Yu

You two come over and move the tables, chairs, and wooden boxes to the back of the door with me”

Although this is not much use, it is better than nothing, and her heart can be a little more solid

Ling Xiao immediately says, “I’ll come and help too”

Lest Ling Jingshu disagrees, she adds, “It’s dark in the cabin

I can’t see anything clearly

I have sensitive ears, a bit better than you guys”

There was something to do, and there would be less nonsense to think about

Ling Jingshu answered

Several people groped around in the darkness, first moving the table, then the chairs and the two wooden boxes

After they had done all this, their hearts were a little more solid

Although the shouting and killing outside was still alarming, the master and servant hiding in this dark cabin seemed to be quite at ease

Darkness is frightening, but it also gives one a sense of security when hiding in the dark

Ling Xiao is still leaning tightly against Ling Jingshu’s side, his violently beating heart calming down a little

Suddenly, he remembers something important: “Ah Shu, we’re hiding over here, what about Big Uncle and the others?

Shouldn’t we ask them to come with us?”

Even though a large number of people may not be of much use, gathering together will always strengthen their guts a bit

Ling Jingshu was silent for a moment before she whispered, “Eldest uncle and the others must be gathered together at this time

If we go and call out to them, they may not come over”

In the midst of the catastrophe, Big Uncle and his family couldn’t care less about the two siblings

No one has come to call out to them even now

Ling Xiao hears what Ling Jingshu is saying and is dumbfounded, feeling rather bad in his heartYou shouldn’t blame them either”

Ling Jingshu’s calm voice carried a hint of sighing, “I don’t know what’s going on outside, if it were me

I wouldn’t dare to walk out of this room door”

In this world, even fathers and sons may not be able to rely on each other

To the juncture of life and death, in order to really see the position of others in your heart, but also can see the weight of you in the hearts of others

For example

After Ling Xiao woke up, he came to her without thinking

Although Ling Xiao’s nature is simple and naive, he is not a child who does not understand things, and after hearing these words, he nodded seriously: ”Ah Shu, you are right

To me

You are the most important person in the world

To Big Uncle and the others, they can’t care about us siblings at a time like this

This is human nature, and it’s not their fault”

Ling Jingshu had no time or heart to praise Ling Xiao anymore

It is unknown who was injured on the ship’s board, and there is another mournful scream, which is chilling to the ears

Then, a guard yelled out loudly, “A few people have already broken in, quickly stop them ” Some bandits broke through the guards’ boatmen and killed their way into the cabin!

Ling Jingshu’s heart trembled and she subconsciously gripped the dagger in her hand, then in silence, she wrapped her arms around the shivering Ling Xiao

At this point, no amount of comfort and encouragement would be useful

The bandits had already rushed up!

Ten miles away from the waterway, a flotilla of ships is coming

Tonight there is a moon without stars, the sky is full of dark clouds and the moonlight is dim

There are six ships in this flotilla

Each ship is tall, wide and sturdy, far better than ordinary government ships

The leading boat was even more exquisite and luxurious

On the board of each ship, there were many gleaming and strong guards

Most of these guards were armed with long swords, and a small number of them were armed with long bows and arrows, vigilantly scrutinizing the surroundings

Roughly speaking, there were at least two hundred guards on these six ships

The weapons were excellent and the discipline was excellent

With so many people standing on the ship’s board, there was surprisingly no clamor

The ships moved forward quietly and swiftly

On the dark waters of the night, it was like a column of giant beasts hidden in the darkness, just waiting to light up their sharp and sharp claws and teeth and tear the enemy apartWang Tong, at this speed, how much longer will it take to reach the official ship that sent the distress signal?”

In the spacious and gorgeous cabin, a cold and indifferent teenager’s voice resounded

This teenager dressed in basalt-colored brocade robe, head bound with jade hoops, looking down at the book in his hands, did not raise his head when he spoke, and seemed to have only casually asked a question

Standing in front of the teenager’s chief of the guards Wang Tong but dare not be slow, busy should say: “back to your highness, should not be out of the ten miles of water, the boat full force traveling, at most a tea time can be rushed”

After a pause, he added: “From the time we saw the distress signal to the time we arrived, it has been a while

I also don’t know if the people on the boat will still be alive after rushing over”

The boy in the basalt-colored brocade robe still didn’t raise his head, “If they can make it, it’s their good fortune; if they can’t make it, it’s only their bad luck”
