In the sound of wind and rain, the roar of men and the crying and crying of women and children were mixed, vaguely but unable to ignore.

Wen Fei's expression suddenly condensed. Seeing the two ships were about to cross by, she subconsciously went back to the stern against the direction. I ran into the boss of the ship who was in command of the ship halfway. She wanted to hold the other party and say something, but she didn't reach out her hand—what could she say when she pulled the other party? Should the boss stop the ship and confront the water bandits? That's not what the crew of a passenger ship should do.

Thinking about it this way, Wen Fei didn't have the difficulty of being a strong man after all, but turned around and said to the guards who followed behind him: "Go get the bow and arrow."

The guard ran away with a promise, and didn't say that at the speed of the boat, it would be too late to shoot a bow and arrow. However, the concerns of the personal guards were resolved in the next moment, because the water bandits on the river had spotted them and had already separated their hands to encircle the passenger ship.

When the boat boss saw this, his face changed drastically, and he shouted hoarsely: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let them surround you. Speed ​​up and rush over, their boat can't withstand our collision, and rushing past it..."

In the last sentence, as the flying claws were thrown onto the passenger ship, the ship's side was stopped abruptly.

The boss’s complexion is even more ugly, his sturdy body trembles in the wind and rain, as if it will fall down in the next moment-in this kind of weather, big boats have to be very careful when sailing. There is a possibility of capsize. In such weather, those who still choose to go out to plunder, except desperadoes, hardly do what he wants.

Just when the ship boss was in a panic, he heard a "crash" sound of the sword unsheathed in his ear, and then saw a figure rushing to the side of the ship, raising the sword and cutting off the ropes attached to the flying claws.

The boss of the boat opened his mouth wide in surprise. You must know that the ropes used by these water bandits are clamped with steel wires. How can they be cut so easily?

Wen Fei's sword was bestowed by the emperor. For her, it is not difficult to cut the rope, but the more difficult thing is to stand firmly on this shaky deck. God knows how badly the ship shook in this stormy weather, and how slippery the deck was wet by rain, Wen Fei almost slipped off the ship with the effort of cutting a flying claw.

It's just that Wen Fei's behavior didn't seem to be of much use. After this batch of flying claws was cut off with the sound of falling into the water, more flying claws were thrown up under the ship. Wen Fei only glanced at it and didn't move again. The guard who went to get the bow and arrow came back soon.

The boss of the boat had just recovered from the panic. He was a little anxious when he saw that Wen Fei was no longer moving. He rushed to catch Wen Fei: "This man, don’t stand, your sword is good, quickly take all those flying claws. Cut it."

Just before he got close, he was stopped by Wen Fei's guards. Wen Fei took the bow and arrow smoothly: "No, let them get on the boat."

The boss of the ship collapsed a bit when he heard this, but Wen Fei was very calm at this time-she took dozens of guards to the south during this trip. Whether it was an ordinary water bandit or a desperado, it was obvious that she didn't look enough at her guards who had experienced battles. The biggest shortcoming of the personal guards is probably not good at water battles, so waiting for the opponent to get on the boat before fighting is undoubtedly the best choice.

At this moment, the speed of the ship has slowed down, and the guards resting in the cabin flooded the deck. When the ship boss saw the lingering aura of the guards, his panic and collapsed heart was calmed down.

People shouldn't look at themselves, are these seasick land-ducklings so dizzy that they are so sharp and fierce? !

The boss of the ship here is still in a trance, Wen Fei has bent his bow and shot at the fallen ship on the opposite side—the young general’s arrow technique is excellent, Wen Fei shot an arrow against the wind and rain and hit a water bandit. Of the neck. It happened that the other party was standing on the side of the ship, and fell into the water as soon as the arrow was hit. The splash was covered by the wind and rain, and no one noticed.

This was Wen Fei's first murder, but perhaps it was a long-range shooting. There was peace in her heart, and the hand holding the bow did not tremble at all. He drew another arrow from the quiver, bent the bow and shot it, and took away the life of the opposing water bandit.

Only that arrow shot out, but for hundreds of water bandits, it was too few and too slow.

************************************************** **************************

Wen Fei felt that he was unlucky enough. The marriage contract on the back of the inexplicable, the inexplicable going to the south of the Yangtze River, and the inexplicable encounter with a bunch of desperate water bandits in this windy and rainy weather...

But there are many people who are more unlucky than her, such as Chu Xi.

Chu Xi was sitting in the cabin, with several guards guarding Chu's house outside the door. The sound of wind and rain, shouts, and crying outside were heard. But she couldn't do anything. Being weak and weak, she couldn't send her guards out to help. They had to protect her.

But Chu Xi went back home by boat to patrol south than Wen Fei, and the number of escorts she brought was limited. When the guards were led away or entangled by the water bandits, the closed door became the last line of defense, but neither the thin door panel nor the panicking servants and servants in the room could no longer give anyone any help. sense of security.

Everyone knows the dangers outside, and the servant women are trying hard to move something to block the door. However, the boat was bumpy and swayed on the river, and almost all the things in the cabin were fixed to the floor. No matter the seat bench or the bed cabinet, there was nothing that could move.

The maids tried hard to block the door but were unable to.

Chu Xi's hands in her sleeves were tightly clasped together, her face was still calm, she just frowned and stared at the door without saying a word.

At this time, Yudong approached her, holding a stack of clothes in his hands, and tremblingly said: "Little, miss, you can change your clothes. Don't dress too well, lest you catch your eyes." In response, she shook her head again after thinking about something: "No, no, don't change it. You dress more richly, maybe the water bandits still have concerns, even if you exchange money with your family."

This is how Yudong said. The family has strict rules, and it is a major event for women to lose their way. She once heard that a girl was taken away by mountain bandits when she went out of the city to go to incense, and she was found back the next day. As a result, the girl didn't live for more than a day, so she committed suicide at home that day. It's hard to say whether he committed suicide or was forced to death at home.

Thinking of this, Yudong felt confused for a while, clutching the stack of clothes almost torn the clothes.

With a panoramic view of Yudong's reaction, Chu Xi didn't know whether to warm her heart or sigh—Yudong's worries were all superfluous. No matter what she wore was rich or tattered, the ending was actually the same. Because there is a group of desperadoes outside, they will not leave anyone behind!

Chu Xi's frowned brows became tighter. Before she could even sigh, she heard a loud "bang", but someone outside began to kick the door. Seeing this, several servants rushed up and tried to block the door with their bodies. It's a pity that the door panel is too thin. Even if a few people press the door with their bodies, it can't reach the end of the door being smashed after a few kicks by the people outside.

The exclamation finally flooded the last pure land, and the water bandit rushed in with a grinning grin.

Yudong was too panicked before, but at this time, he was the first to react. Taking advantage of the maids and maids still blocking the front, she grabbed Chu Xi and rushed out: "Miss, go!"

Chu Xi was staggered by her, and the dagger hidden in her sleeve almost fell off, stumbled and ran in embarrassment. While she ran out of the cabin following Yudong, she told her rationally and clearly that even running out of the cabin was not a way out... The screams on the deck never stopped, and she even vaguely smelled the blood mixed in the water vapor. , But she still followed Yudong and ran out.

Sure enough, there was chaos on the deck. A man was chopped down to the ground while guarding his family, while a woman was holding her baggage and trying to hide, but was robbed of the baggage and dragged into the cabin. An old man was crawling on the ground, a bright red under him, and a child was picked at the tip of a knife and thrown into the river.

Chu Xi had never seen such a tragic situation, even if she was sensible enough, she would inevitably lose her senses for a moment.

The heavy rain was originally the best cover, but the ship was so big and the deck was so big. Even though Yu Dong had taken care of Chu Xi in hiding, they were found by the water bandits after they got out of the cabin and didn't take a few steps.

Yu Donghu was in front of Chu Xi and was taken away by the water bandit first. Chu Xi was soaked and faced the bandit.

The water bandit on the opposite side saw her face clearly and said something with a grinning grin, but it was a pity that the local accent was too strong and Chu Xi didn't understand it. But if you don’t understand it, you can guess it. At the moment, the other party is even more unlikely to be kind enough. So when the other party reached out, Chu Xi drew out the dagger and slashed it over, a pair of black and white eyes panicked a little, even more. Many are still calm.

I probably didn't expect that a delicate woman like Chu Xi would resist. The water bandit was caught off guard and slowed down. A sharp dagger cut a cut on the back of his hand, and the red blood oozes out.

The blood irritated the water bandit, his face sullenly cursed, and he reached out to catch Chu Xi again.

Chu Xi still used a dagger to resist, but this time the other party was prepared, how could she be injured? However, in the blink of an eye, the dagger in her hand was snatched by the water bandit, and the latter grabbed her without fear.

Chu Xi didn't need to think about the fate of falling into the hands of the water bandit, and she wouldn't let herself fall into that kind of situation. So from the very beginning, when she was stared at, she kept retreating to the side of the ship, and now she had touched the side of the ship behind her with one hand, facing the inevitable situation, her clear eyes flashed suddenly. A trace of decisiveness.

It's too late to say, then it's fast. Just before Chu Xi turned and plunged into the river, an arrow suddenly came through the wind and rain, hitting the water bandit right in front of him, and an arrow shot across the opponent's throat.

The water bandit fell while clutching his throat, and fell into the turbulent river one step earlier than Chu Xi.

However, Chu Xi's crisis has not been resolved. She had the intention of throwing herself into the river, and she stood in a dangerous position. Just at this moment, the ship shook. After all, she couldn't stand firmly, and she tilted her body and fell into the river following the water bandit.
