The ship is too big, there are too many places to get on board, and there are obviously not enough guards.
The escorts from the Weiyuan Escort Agency walked up to the guard chief, exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then joined the guard.
Naturally, Han Changmu and Yao Yao would not take action easily, but they would not retreat to a wine shop and wait for the result.
The two people quietly watched the development of things, waiting for the right time.
Yao Yao looked at the swords dropped by the guards and the water thieves who smashed into the river, feeling that they looked strangely familiar.
It looks familiar. When she was a child in her previous life, her mother was still there and she took her to the amusement park to play. She played a game console called Whack-a-Mole. It was very fun and very similar to what she was seeing now.
The lights flickered on the river. I don't know whether the mist was thicker or the boat was retreating, and the dim light was dimming a little.
Han Changmu narrowed his eyes, walked quickly to the captain of the guard, and whispered: "The boat has retreated, they are going to attack with fire."
The captain of the guard looked at Han Changmu in surprise, not daring not to believe it or not to believe it completely. He told the shopkeeper of the building and asked him to prepare water.
The water was not completely ready yet, and there was a swishing sound on the river.
Arrows shot through the air, rustling like rain, and landed on the boat with a tinkling sound.
As soon as these feathered arrows landed on the boat, a small flame ignited.
Seeing this, the chief guard quickly picked up a basin of water and poured it on him.
The fire went out, and clouds of black smoke rose into the sky.
The smell is fishy and pervasive.
Yao Yao shook his body, covered his mouth and nose tightly, and exclaimed in a loud voice: "This smoke is poisonous, hurry up, cover your mouth and nose."
The people gathered on the deck, all of whom had some skills, noticed something was wrong with the smoke and covered their mouths and noses one after another.
The feathered arrows were still shooting at him, but the water thief who climbed onto the ship calmed down and hung on the hull of the ship, which was beyond the reach of the sword.
These feathered arrows landed on the boat with a tinkling sound, and the flames burst into flames.
Douse it with water. The smoke is poisonous, but you don't need to douse it with water. The fire will burn into pieces and sooner or later the building and ship will be burned down.
This is really a dilemma.
Seeing that the two fires were burning together and were about to reach his feet, Yao Yao reacted very quickly. He picked up the arrow with his long sword and threw it towards the river.
The arrow hit the water, the flames went out, and a cloud of black mist rose up, but because it was some distance away from the building ship, it did not cause any actual damage.
Seeing this, everyone took out their swords to fly away the burning arrows and threw them into the river.
Han Changmu picked up the arrow, and under the firelight, a hint of a smile appeared on his Qingjun face: "You react very quickly."
Yao Yao was stunned.
Don't be ridiculous, can you be unhappy? She doesn't want to try either of being poisoned to death or turning into a roasted suckling pig.
The arrows kept flying, and the speed of everyone picking arrows became faster and faster.
But under the soaring firelight, the water thieves hiding outside the ship took the opportunity to climb onto the ship like a tide.
"Hurry up, water thief, the water thief is coming up."
"Quick, quick, fuck this guy, quick."
The captain of the guard has been guarding the ship for ten years, and has experienced many scenes, including life and death. He methodically commanded the guard to defend against the enemy, while the boatmen were well-trained in adjusting the direction of the ship, hoping to find an opportunity to break away from the siege of the small boat.
The entire building was filled with the smell of blood and screams, which was particularly breathtaking.
Han Changmu wanted to hide his identity. He originally wanted to pretend to be a weak young man with no power to restrain a chicken. But now that the situation was critical, he hid his identity regardless, and the sword flew from his hand.
There were so many people, so many people with knives.
Yao Yao's mind was a little confused, but the sword in his hand was like a reflex, slashing at the endless stream of water thieves around him.
There was a constant popping sound all around, which was the sound of swords entering the body.
Some people screamed and fell to the ground, while others flew up with a groan and then fell into the water.
Blood quickly flowed on the deck and splashed on the railings. The smell of blood in the river was so strong that it made people suffocate.
Yao Yao seemed to be back in the Sixteenth Guards. In the last round of selection of the dead guards, there were only two choices: life or death, either lying down and being carried out, or walking out alive.
She chopped down the last person, covered in blood, and her eyes were fascinated by the sticky blood.
After coming back to her senses, she looked around, blinked, and silently stepped back while slashing with her sword.
Except for the guards and the escorts from the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, most of the people on this ship were ordinary people who had no martial arts. Under the sword of the water thief, they could only flee in panic, without any ability to resist.
Yao Yao quickly cut a hole in the chaos and retreated towards the warehouse at the stern of the ship.
The stern of the boat was also in chaos, presumably because the river around the building was full of water thieves, so there was no place for peace.
These water thieves are not tall, but they are all very strong. Their short clothes are wrapped around their bodies, revealing their tight muscles, and their eyes are fierce. The knife in their hands is specially made. There is a mechanism on the handle of the knife. With a slight press, The blade of the knife held a chain and flew out with a clatter.
A boatman's face turned pale with no blood at all under the knife. He was already limp on the ground and could not get up.
A nanmu bead hit the broadsword directly. With a clang, the nanmu bead fell to the ground and was broken into several pieces. The knife head was deflected by a point and was taken back by the water thief.
It was Han Changmu who threw the nanmu beads. He was not good at using hidden weapons, but the situation was critical and the sword and whip in his hand were out of reach, so it was easier to throw the beads.
He picked up the limp boatman, threw it into a corner, and said coldly: "Find a place where no one is around to hide."
The boatman's legs softened, he let out a grateful sigh, and ran towards the wine shop in panic.
The door of the wine shop was tightly closed. There were water thieves outside who kept banging on the door. The door was already shaky.
The boatman originally thought that the wine shop would be a safe hiding place, but unexpectedly it was not so. He fearfully hid in an upside-down bamboo basket outside the wine shop, shivering.
With a "boom", the door collapsed.
The water thief broke into the wine shop with a shining knife.
What he saw was a pale-faced boat passenger with a disgusting fishy odor.
The water thieves held up their knives and waved them in front of the boat passengers. The leader laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, you fat sheep. I only want money, not your lives. If you give up your life but not your wealth, I will scuttle the ship and let you go." You all go down to the river to feed the fish.”
The boat passengers were trembling and unable to speak a complete sentence.
After a while, a boatman who was afraid of his life finally threw a bag of his belongings in front of the water pirates.
The leader of the water thieves raised his chin at the man.
The water thief understood, squeezed in, lifted the boat passenger out, threw it aside, and searched every part of his body, from his bun to his heels, and actually found a tablet hidden in his boots. of gold ingots.
The leader of the water thieves shook his sword, slapped the boat passenger on the face with the back of the sword, and sneered: "You really know how to hide, and you don't mind walking in a hurry."
He pointed the knife at the leg where the gold was hidden: "Is this the leg where the gold is hidden?"
The boatman winced and nodded hesitantly.
The leader of the water thieves slashed his leg diagonally with his sword.
Blood spattered out.
The boat passenger screamed miserably, his face turned as white as paper, and he fainted.
This blood ignited the last fear of the boat passengers. They trembled with fear and burst into tears.
Without any hesitation, and not daring to hide anything, he handed over everything he could with shaking hands.
The leader of the water thieves looked at the money piled all over the floor with satisfaction, and said calmly without getting angry: "I see, in addition to the guards, there are also bodyguards on this ship. Who among you knows where the bodyguards have hidden the goods."
The boat passengers looked at each other, unable to say, knowing and unable to say. These water thieves had snatched the goods and left them to face the escorts. Would they still have a way to survive?
Han Changmu leaned against the railing, glanced at the water thief lying at his feet, and took a breath.
He looked around, but in the chaos, he didn't see Yao Yao.
Having seen Yao Yao's shadowless silk, he was not worried about her ability to protect herself, but he and she had other things to do, so they couldn't just waste time here.
He had some doubts in his heart. Normal water thieves can only have a hundred or so people in a village. But now, he narrowed his eyes. The total number of these dead and alive water thieves must be hundreds, and they will be beaten to death. their idea.
Hundreds of practitioners, no matter how good or low their kung fu skills are, all have the tools to trap them.
But where did such a large group of water thieves come from?
Most of the water thieves want money rather than their lives, but these people are very abnormal. They want to rob money but also kill people. It seems that they want to kill them all without leaving any survivors, and robbing money is just a casual way of doing it.
In a blink of an eye, four water thieves surrounded Han Changmu.
The sword in his hand kept moving, the sword light was cold, and blood spread on his face and body, and he didn't even notice it.
The surrounding boatmen guarding the building and the escorts from the Weiyuan Escort gradually became less and less, but the water thieves were not afraid of death and rushed to the building one after another.
At this time, bursts of shrill whistles sounded from behind the building boat, tearing through the sky and making the noisy people's hearts tremble.
Where did Yao Yao go? Han Changmu was pulled out of the endless killing by the whistle. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had never seen Yao Yao among the standing and fallen people. He felt a little flustered, and his hands The sword on his head shook involuntarily, and then struck more sharply in all directions.
While fighting and retreating, he collided with a strong man.
When he looked back, he saw the taciturn escort leader.
The escort leader saw that Han Changmu's face was covered with blood, and the blood on the tip of the sword was dripping continuously. Although he was a little embarrassed, his breath was long and thick, and he was obviously not injured.
The head guard nodded. He recognized Han Changmu. He originally thought that this person was a scholar with no strength, but he didn't expect that his kung fu was not weak. After fighting for so long, he was still so calm even if he was not injured. calm.
He thought for a moment and said, "Brother, he has good martial arts."
The opening of his mouth startled Han Changmu. No wonder this escort chief always did more and said less. His voice was really shocking. He looked tall and thick, but when he spoke, he spoke in a girlish voice. Who would listen? Don't be frightened and panic, and then remember him firmly.
