Sure enough, these female relatives became much more stable afterwards, and there was no longer a continuous flow of dirty water.
"Brother Hui, this bit of preserved fruit is a gift from Miss Lin. It's a pill to thank you." Zijuan smiled and held a small box of preserved fruit and gave it to Jia Hui.
"Miss Zijuan, thank Miss Lin for me," Jia Hui said with a smile. This sister Lin is quite good. She not only likes to criticize people, but also knows how to deal with the world.
The official ship traveled all the way, with the help of the north wind, and the speed was quite fast. It was not far from Yangzhou.
That night, the moonlight was dim, and it was difficult to see the scenery in the distance even if it was a few feet away.
Therefore, even if he was in a hurry, for the sake of safety, Jia Lian had to order to anchor down and rest for a night.
Jia Hui and his two clan brothers were responsible for keeping vigil today, while the other soldiers slept in their clothes.
The northern wind at night was extremely strong, and it made people feel chilly. Although the brothers from the two clans complained, they still kept vigil at different locations with Jia Hui.
"Hey, something seems wrong." Jia Hui has keen senses and sharp ears and eyesight, which is much better than ordinary people.
He heard the sound of water flowing in the distance, and then the shadows of several small boats came out of the darkness in the distance and headed straight towards their official ship.
"Brothers, something is wrong, there is a small boat attacking at night," Jia Hui shouted in a deep voice.
There was a crashing sound, and Jia Cui, Liu Daniu and a dozen other soldiers immediately got up when they heard Jia Hui's voice.
Immediately afterwards, everyone else on the boat woke up. Jia Lian also got up in a hurry, "What happened?"
But then I didn’t ask anymore, because the small boats had already rushed within a few feet, and the shining steel knives in the hands of the twenty or so men in black on the boats said everything.
"Brothers, prepare to fight, these bastards are coming for us at first sight," Jia Cui shouted loudly. At this point, it was useless to say more.
At first glance, the other party came to kill people, and felt that he was not a simple man begging for food.
Jia Hui sneered in his heart and reached out to take off the strong bow on his back, which he had already prepared.
Several consecutive bowstring sounds sounded, and several men in black fell into the water.
"Be careful, there is a sharpshooter on the ship, hurry up and board the ship," a man in black shouted.
Jia Lian was overjoyed, "Brother Hui is really an expert in archery. Even in such a dark night, he can make perfect arrows."
Jia Hui didn't bother to pay attention to his flattery. He fired several arrows in succession, and several black-clothed swordsmen were hit by arrows. Most of them died on the spot. Those who survived were soaked in cold water and probably wouldn't survive.
"You're looking for death," the leader of the men in black was furious. Damn this business was a loss. If I had known that there was such a master on the other side's official ship, I would have offered double the price.
The boat was very close to the official ship. The leader of the man in black raised his steel knife high, jumped up and rushed towards Jia Hui two feet away.
He hated this guy with great archery skills and wanted to kill Jia Hui immediately to avenge his brothers.
"Brother Hui, be careful, the other party is a master." Jia Cui's face changed sharply. No one among the soldiers is a match for an enemy with such skill.
Jia Cui was about to step forward to help, but unexpectedly, other men in black threw their grappling hooks, hooked them on the side of the ship, and climbed up, preventing him from getting away.
"You brat, you're dead." The leader of the men in black smiled ferociously, as if he saw leader Jia Hui being beheaded.
"Qiang", there was a sound of a steel sword being unsheathed, and then a white sword was drawn across. The leader of the man in black paused, and a fountain of blood spurted out from his neck.
Jia Hui didn't bother to look back. His martial arts and physical fitness were far superior to his opponents. With one strike from his hand, there was no doubt about the outcome.
Others had already fought with the man in black, and several muffled sounds were heard. Apparently someone had been stabbed.
Jia Hui walked quickly and did not speak martial arts. When he stepped forward and saw the man in black, he stabbed him without even saying hello.
In a moment, several more men in black died. The soldiers also got over the initial panic and formed a formation to fight against the other men in black.
With the help of Jia Hui, a great expert, the remaining men in black were also hacked to death by the soldiers.
"Brothers, are there any casualties?" Jia Cui asked loudly as it was night after all and he couldn't see the specific situation clearly.
"It's okay. Fortunately, I have cowhide inner armor that blocked the knife. Otherwise, I would have been dead today."
"Haha, it's just a little scratch on my arm, nothing serious."
After hearing the feedback from the brothers, Jia Cui was convinced that it was already a good performance to have such a performance against the enemy for the first time.
After experiencing this time and seeing blood, the soldiers truly grew up.
"Second brother Lian, brother Hui has made his first contribution this time, and his martial arts skills are far superior to those of our brothers." Jia Cui walked up to Jia Lian, who looked a little pale, and reported.
It was also the first time for Jia Lian to see such a bloody fight, and his heart was pounding. Hearing Jia Cui's words, he tried to calm his heartbeat.
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. This time, each of you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers.
Later, Jia Lian came to Jia Hui with a face full of joy and smiled, "Brother Hui, you have been hiding this from me so hard. Thanks to you this time, I didn't expect that your martial arts skills have surpassed Uncle Dun's back then.
You are here to help me personally, so from today onwards, brother Hui's treatment will be calculated as an offering, and he will no longer be on duty every day. He will be responsible for holding down the battle for the brothers. "
Then he ordered someone to prepare a separate room for Jia Hui to live in. Now he could see that Jia Hui was the real master. With Jia Hui here, the sense of security is doubled.
Jia Cui, Liu Daniu and others were also envious, but they were not jealous. This is how it is in the military. As long as your martial arts skills are strong enough and your merits are great enough, your brothers will obey you.
Jia Lian chatted affectionately with Jia Hui for a while, and comforted Zi Juan who came to inquire about the situation, before returning to his room and continuing to rest.
As soon as Jia Lian left, except for the two soldiers who went to bandage the wounds, Jia Cui, Liu Daniu and others all gathered around him.
"Brother Hui, you are hiding deep enough. You can become a general with just this skill," Jia Cui said with a smile.
Liu Daniu also looked convinced, "Brother Hui's kung fu, I, Daniu, can't match even if I practice for another twenty years, how did you practice?"
Jia Hui smiled faintly and said, "My father, the old prince, gave me several high-quality skills from the Great Chu Martial Arts Sutra before his death, and I happened to gain a little from them."
This time he also took the opportunity to explain clearly the origin of his martial arts. Otherwise, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. After all, ordinary people have no access to the Great Chu Martial Arts. Now that the blame is being placed on the old Duke and his deceased father, no one will look into it further.
"Brother Hui is still very talented. Our brother's family didn't receive the martial arts from the old Duke, but none of them are as powerful as Brother Hui," Jia Cui said enviously.
Talent is something you are born with. If you don't have it, you don't have it. You can't envy it.
In his opinion, there is no other explanation for Jia Hui's skill at such a young age except his extraordinary talent.
No matter how hard others tried, they would never guess that Jia Hui had a golden finger.
