Li Mansion, in the courtyard where the Song sisters live.
"Sister..."
Song Yinzhang looked at Song Qijun, who had been tossing and turning for a while, and finally couldn't help shouting.
Song Qijun's body stiffened for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He calmed down and asked, "Yinzhang, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Sister A's not sleeping, and neither is Yin Zhang."
Song Qijun smiled bitterly: "I..."
Xiao Yinzhang was so smart that he said, "Are you worried about your brother-in-law?"
Song Qijun said shyly: "You girl, what are you doing? How can he be your brother-in-law?"
After all, Song Yinzhang was still young and didn't understand this aspect, and his mind didn't work that fast. He just smiled and said, "Yinzhang wants Mr. Li to be Yinzhang's brother-in-law, so that he can take care of my sister."
Song Qijun was stunned when he heard this, and felt warm in his heart. He couldn't help but go over and put his sister into his arms, and said softly: "Well, he will take good care of Yin Zhang - so he will definitely be fine!"
"What is sister talking about?"
"It's nothing," Song Qijun shook his head, closed his eyes and whispered softly: "Go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, you can see Mr. Li."
But I don't know whether she said this to her sister or herself.
…
"kill!"
"kill--"
The sudden cry of death broke the originally peaceful night and caused huge waves on the smooth river.
On several cargo ships connected end to end, the bodyguards and the guards of each family were a little surprised, and then panicked.
Although the ferocity of the Qiantang thief has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in the past half month, the story of the Zhennan Escort Bureau's last escort mission has also spread, and the Qiantang thief's retreat was deliberately exaggerated.
This also made many people confident that this second massive escort trip would not encounter any problems.
What's more, they set off before dawn just to make a time difference, but they didn't expect to be caught by the other party.
Although it was getting brighter at this time, the light was not enough, and the fog on the river was covering the river, which blocked the line of sight. It was an unfavorable situation for them and the Qiantang thieves.
That is to say, these water thieves are based here and are more familiar with the terrain, which may have some psychological advantages.
And soon, the managers of each family stepped forward to stabilize people's hearts and prevent themselves from getting into trouble. However, no one noticed at this time that the leader of the Li family, Li Yong, never stepped forward.
However, someone from the Qiantang thieves started shouting, just like in the past, "Courtesy first, then attack."
"I, the Qiantang thief, have seized these cargoes of yours. Go back and notify the county and ask the county to come up with money to redeem them, otherwise none of you will be able to escape!"
"Yes, no one can escape!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The Qiantang thieves have been here for two years, and they are already familiar with this trick. To put it bluntly, it is to let them keep the money to buy the goods.
They also know the principle of fishing from the bottom of the lake, so they will never drain them all at once. It's just that businessmen are a greedy group. If it's just for a small profit, who is willing to do it?
Therefore, several families in Qiantang are actively promoting the suppression of bandits. However, the bandits in Qiantang are not exterminated repeatedly, but they become more and more vital.
And this time, the existence of the Zhennan Escort Bureau has given them some confidence, and naturally they will not give in as easily as before.
"What a beautiful idea! If you want money, you can take it yourself, but don't expect me to offer it to you."
"You're right, things are different now."
"Fight them!"
"Yes, there are many of us, what are we afraid of?"
There is strength in numbers, which can naturally give you a lot of courage, not to mention the power of hatred.
Most of the people in the Zhennan Escort Bureau have grudges against the Qiantang thieves, or have relatives who were directly killed in their hands, or their families were ruined after their goods were robbed.
The anger of hatred ignited their anger and courage.
It's just that they kept calling and calling, but made no further move. Apart from some swords, guns, bows and crossbows, they didn't have any long-range weapons. At this time, other than throwing spittles and stars, there was no effective means of attack. They could only passively attack and strike later. .
As for the Qiantang thieves, the second master was in charge of this robbery. After hearing this, he was a little surprised, and a ferocious look flashed across his face.
Last time he saw the people from the Zhennan Escort Agency swaggering past, as if they had been slapped in the face. After several interceptions of goods, he asked for higher ransoms, just to vent his revenge.
But after all, he is not the real one, and I always feel that he is a bit different.
Now that they had bumped into each other, he followed his elder brother's instructions to be polite before fighting. If they didn't listen, then don't blame yourself for being rude.
"If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty. In that case, I will grant you a favor - shoot the arrow!"
"Raise your shield!"
There were several small boats on both sides firing arrows at the cargo ship, but the bodyguards did not have bows and arrows, so they had no problem blocking the bows and arrows.
The two instructors Li Yong asked Li Yuan to invite were from serious military backgrounds in the Jiedu government. They were not qualified to practice water warfare, but they still had some theoretical experience, and they knew that the Qiantang thieves had captured government weapons before. , will naturally guard against this.
Therefore, they had prepared their shields a long time ago. At this time, they held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. While forming a shield formation, they also took advantage of the opportunity to throw down a hail of knives.
Anyway, it is condescending, even if it is not accurate, it is more lethal than the arrow from the opposite side.
Even if they can block it, don't forget that they are in a small boat. If they are accidentally smashed by these knives, something will happen.
…
"County Lieutenant, when shall we take action?"
The two hundred government officials hiding in the dark had been waiting for Wu Heng's order, but when they saw that a "firefight" had begun over there, Wu Heng remained silent.
This made the class leader on the side feel anxious and urged him.
When he noticed Wu Heng's cold eyes glancing over, he felt a chill in his heart, and then he realized what he was doing and whispered in a low voice: "It was my subordinate who overstepped his bounds!"
"snort!"
Wu Heng couldn't explain to him in detail. In the final analysis, Li Yong himself was still to blame.
If you just stay in Qiantang and be his rich young man, don't set up any escort agency, or don't come to him for cooperation, he will naturally not do this.
But now, in his opinion, this is a good opportunity.
For him, there is no need for the Qiantang thieves to continue to exist now. The situation is too big to control, so it is better to just destroy it, lest there is always a hidden danger buried here, which makes him feel like a bullet in his throat.
And Li Yong, as well as the Zhennan Escort Bureau, are also unstable factors, so it is best to let them fight with each other this time, and he may be able to reap the benefits.
】
So not only was he not in a hurry to take action at this time, but the old god was sitting there with his eyes slightly closed. It looked like he was not here for urgent action, but as if he was on vacation.
As for the government servants who have been here for a long time, they inevitably feel a little grumpy in their hearts, but they just follow orders, and at this time, they are even less likely to risk offending their superiors by talking too much.
Anyway, the people from the escort agency had nothing to do with them, and in their mind, if they could use up more Qiantang thieves, they might be able to take advantage later.
However, what surprised Wu Heng was that the response of the Zhennan Escort Bureau actually seemed to be like that. You must know that he also had the instructor from Jiedu Mansion come to teach him personally, and he only then understood many principles of battle formation.
However, the ferocity of these Qiantang thieves is not unexpected. Since there are no long-range attack methods on the ship, they are also preparing to board the ship to fight in close combat. This is obviously to use their own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. I don't believe these people who have never seen blood. The escort can really perform better than them.
