Chapter 4 Ye Kou is a Beauty
The autumn moon in the sky was bright, making the Baishui River Ferry clear as daytime. Lin Fu watched the two men who were on the boat and listening to music at dusk, holding Zhao Neng and the boatman with swords. He was shocked and subconsciously a thought flashed through his mind: Water bandits robbed the ship! But he was puzzled, what good kid would be for his black-paned boat?
The cables of the Wupeng boat have been untied and are slowly leaving the shore. Lin Fu saw the fishing boat opposite through the crack of the door and also untied the cables and floated towards the center of the Baishui River. With the moonlight, he saw five or six shadows squatting on the bow of the grain boat, and he couldn't see who the boatman and who were the robbers.
The door in the cabin was closed, and the moonlight was bright outside, but it was pitch black in the cabin. Lin Fu remembered that the sword was hanging on the opposite wall, carefully tied his clothes, silently counting the distance by the window, and in his mind, he was talking about how to get the sword as fast as possible in the darkness and then jumped into the river from the wooden window... However, he couldn't see the situation of Su Mei's pleasure boat from the crack of the door, and he didn't know how many water bandits were robbing the ship this time. Lin Fu stood behind the door patiently, thinking: Maybe jumping into the water in the chaos is the best choice.
Lin Fu still wanted to wait for the opportunity, but the two men on the bow of the boat didn't want to give him this time. The man who was pressing Zhao Neng with a knife had a scar on his face that penetrated his nose. He asked another person: "Did you say that the soft-legged shrimp wake up? Why didn't there be any sound?" He was not afraid that Lin Fu would wake up in his words.
Lin Fu was shocked when he heard this: Zhao Neng scolded him at dusk, and he should not gossip in front of outsiders anymore. These two people seemed to be quite familiar with him before?
"The soft-footed shrimp is infatuated with that woman. It's hard to predict when she gets crazy. Be careful..." Another man had a thin face and squinted his eyes to look at the river bank. At this time, the shore was not far enough. Nearly a hundred sword archers in Baisha County were stationed next to the Mosquito Mountain disaster relief camp. After Dong Yuan became the prefect of Weiyang, he attached great importance to the training of security forces such as sword archers in Weiyang counties, and even intended to train an excellent local army. The thin man was quite afraid of the sword archers in Baisha County. Besides, Dong Yuan is famous and others are in Baisha County. If he is disturbed now, things may not be possible tonight. Thinking of this, he winked on the scarred face.
Lin Fu, who was hiding in the cabin, was shocked when he heard them say these words and said, "They mean to Su Mei?"
The bearded smiled knowingly, bent his arm to tie Zhao Neng's neck, and threatened in a deep voice: "If you want to die, don't scream! If you scream, I will chop you up with one knife!" He hit Zhao Neng's temple with a blow. Zhao Neng just let out a muffled groan, and his body fell down softly. Seeing the bearded put the knife into the crack of the door and wanted to lift the latch open, Lin Fu took a step back and grabbed the tip of the knife and kicked it away, kicking it off at the crack of the door. The man outside caught off guard and took a broken knife in his hand and fell in.
The man suddenly entered the dark environment, his eyes darkened; Lin Fu adapted to the light in the dark, grabbed the bearded wrist with the broken knife, and opened his fingers and poked his eyes hard.
The scar face was also amazing. His eyes were poked, and he screamed like a pig-killing scream. However, his wrist struggled away from Lin Fu's hand, and rushed into the corner of the cabin. Blood flowed in his eyes. The broken knife in his hand was still there, dancing around to prevent Lin Fu from pushing in. He shouted outside the cabin: "Old Biao, I have a tough idea. I'm poked my eyes blindly. Come in and save me."
"Tell your mother to be careful. Such a big disturbance shocked the pleasure boat. Boss Zhao wants to do it in advance..." The thin man outside shouted in a deep voice.
Lin Fu jumped over and bolted the cabin door, hoping to stop the thin man outside for a moment; as soon as he took off the sword in his hand, he heard a scream. He thought that the boatman's life would be unsafe, and Lin Fu didn't care about anything else, swung his sword as a knife to slash at the man in the corner of the cabin.
The man's eyes were bleeding, and he couldn't see the length of the broken knife in his hand. He raised his hand and blocked the air. He slashed the steel sword into his brow bone. The sword stuck the bone, and Lin Fu was not strong enough to pull the sword. Hearing the sound of the door behind him, he picked up the broken knife and flipped the window and jumped out. His body was stuck in the water, and he dived under the wooden oars at the stern of the boat before floating out of the water to breathe.
At this time, several boats and the pleasure boats at the ferry left the river embankment seventy or eighty meters away, and suddenly became in chaos. Two boats even caught fire, and in the blink of an eye the night of the river was burning red and bright. Some people were constantly chopped over and fell into the water. Two archers on a kite boat led arrows to look at the water. Lin Fu hid behind the wooden oars and did not dare to stand out. After a while, he heard someone jumping onto the black-paned boat and asking: "Chen Biao, what's going on?"
"The tiger lost his hand, and the shrimps jumped down the water..." It sounded like the thin man's voice.
"Damn, why did Hu Zi miss it?"
"Hu Zi entered the cabin and was attacked by a sneak attack. I went in and saw an iron sword hitting him on his eyebrows. The window was open and the person was gone... Should I send two people to chase him?"
"The soft-footed shrimp is a weight in the water. It dies faster. Don't pay attention to him... Go to the pleasure boat quickly, and you can't let the pleasure boat shore."
Lin Fu's body was soaked in water at this time, so where was there any weight falling into the water?
The movement here also disturbed the shore. The disaster relief camp on Tomb Mountain fired many torches at the ferry entrance. You could see dozens of black shadows running towards the ferry entrance. They were holding weapons in their hands, which were the sword archers stationed on the mountain. The awakened victims also shouted in a gusto voice: "Envoy Dong is here, and the water bandits dare to die!" "Envoy Dong says, kill the thieves and reward silver. Regardless of the officials and the civilians, kill one thief, reward ten taels of silver." Some brave victims also followed the sword archers to run around the ferry entrance.
"This evil star is more difficult in Baisha County; if you come with me, the ship sets fire, you must not let the ship dock."
Lin Fu listened to the voice of Wupeng's bow and thought to himself whether the robbers were still scared of Weiyang's prefect Dong Yuan? Then he saw the two of them abandoned Wupeng's boat and jumped onto a three-masted sand boat. The three-masted sand boat was about the same height as the pleasure boat. Many long poles with iron hooks stretched out from the large sand boat. They boarded the pleasure boat. The two ships quickly leaned together. Dozens of robbers gathered on the bow of the boat with weapons and prepared to rush onto the pleasure boat.
When Lin Fu saw this, he was convinced that the robbers were coming from Su Mei, and his plan was carefully planned. At night, he sent people to sneak into the ferry from the shore to other ships on the shore in order to wrap these ships away from the river bank when they suddenly move, so that they would not make these ships a means of transportation to support pleasure boats on the shore. The three-sailed ship was probably the main warship of the water bandits this time. It looked like a sea boat. I don’t know when it was sneaking in and stopped at the ferry, but it did not arouse others’ alert. There were obviously many elite water bandits hidden on the ship, and they all came in handy at this time.
The seven or eight ships parked at the ferry were small and medium-sized merchant passenger ships and fishing boats. There were few people on the ships and were not alert, so they fell silently.
The cook, maid, and maid on Su Mei's pleasure boat are not to be considered. In addition to the three masters and apprentices of Fu Qinghe, they also hired boatmen from the river gang in Jiangning. There were more than ten oars, not without any defensive power. No thieves have been on the boat. Fu Qinghe stood at the bow of the boat. He held a round shield in his left hand and a short halberd in his right hand, and was forcing a thief who was trying to get on the boat. Lin Fu looked at it and was slightly surprised. He thought Fu Qinghe was just a devastated ordinary martial artist - who would use a short halberd as a carry-on weapon? Those hired boatmen have been scrambling in rivers, lakes and seas for many years, and this is not the first time that they encountered thieves and lake bandits. Under Fu Qinghe and the command of the leader, they took weapons to prevent the water bandits from jumping off the ship.
Lin Fu looked at the pleasure boat less than thirty feet away from the shore. The pleasure boat was a paddle boat. There were six wooden oars on both sides of the ship. Everyone could dodge a paddle in a moment. Besides, the archers on the county government on the shore could still shoot arrows to support it. If the water bandits could not attack the pleasure boat in time and let the pleasure boat get ashore and meet with the archers in Baisha County, the pleasure boat would become a fast warship for the sword archers to pursue the robbers.
The water bandits had long anticipated this situation. Except for the three Wupeng boats with water bandits on the bow, the other boats dragged to the middle of the river were fired. The water bandits on the three-masted sea boats hooked the pleasure boat and quickly hung the fan, dragged the pleasure boat to the outside of the river, and Lin Fu hid it in the water. Looking at all this, he thought they were really well-planned.
The fire on Wupeng's boat also became bigger. Lin Fu hid his body under the water for the time being and was worried, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He was in a panic. Who knew if he would be killed by accident when swimming to the shore?
Swimming towards the pleasure boat? Fu Qinghe was guarding against the water bandits stealing the boat from the water, and the possibility of being killed by accident was even greater. Besides, seventy or eighty strong water bandits surrounded the pleasure boat, and there were less than twenty boatmen on the pleasure boat. If the Baisha County knife archers on the shore could not find the boat to come over to rescue in time, their fate could be imagined.
Although Lin Fu was also thinking of loving Hua Xiyu and thinking about Su Mei treating him, he was not a fool who was eager to die with impulse.
The water bandits stopped delaying, and more than a dozen bows gathered on the head of the three-masted ship and shot them angrily. Someone threw the pot-like objects at the bow of the pleasure boat, but it was crushed, but the lime was sprinkled out. Taking advantage of the people on the bow of the pleasure boat, dozens of water bandits jumped from the three-masted ship and three other hijacked merchant ships to rush onto the pleasure boat...
The pleasure boat was almost nearly 200 meters away from the river bank. Only on the shore was a archer who rushed to the ferry to shoot arrows. It was too late, and no one jumped down the river to travel to help. Lin Fu knew that the pleasure boat was going to be in a desperate situation. No matter how good Fu Qinghe was in his personal martial arts, it would be difficult to play a lot in chaos. At most, he killed a few water bandits to vent his hatred. If he didn't know the opportunity and abandoned the boat and jumped into the water, he would be unable to escape.
Listening to the blasting sound of the fire burning through the fire, Lin Fu was worried that the hull would soon be burned apart, so he waited for a while. After most of the bandits jumped onto the pleasure boat, the bandits' attention was no longer on the water. He looked in the direction and stabbed into the water and sneaked towards the pleasure boat. He estimated that the bandits would not burn it easily after snatching the boat, and it would be safer to attach it to the bottom of the boat and swim downstream for a while before going ashore.
The bottom of the boat covered with black and blue moss was right in front of him. Lin Fu stabbed the crack in the boat board with a broken knife so that there was a support point for him to breathe a breath. At this time, a black shadow fell from his eyes, and the splashed water made Lin Fu choke. It was because he fell down and did not know life or death.
Lin Fu pulled the broken sword into his hand, hesitating whether he would wait for the person who fell into the water to float to the surface and immediately stepped forward and took a knife. He heard someone shouting above his head: "Fu Qinghe is dead, go down the cabin to kill the slurry!"
It was Fu Qinghe who fell into the water? Lin Fu was shocked. He knew that the martial arts practitioners could play a limited role in chaos, but he did not expect Fu Qinghe to be so useless. A man plunged into the water. With the faint firelight that penetrated into the river, he watched a black shadow under the water not move. Before he could float to the surface, Lin Fu pulled Fu Qinghe to the spot.
The place where Fu Qinghe fell into the water will attract the attention of the water bandits. Lin Fu did not think that he could still avoid the strong bow in the water. He clamped Fu Qinghe's body, which was ignorant of life and death, and then floated to the surface of the boat. The place under the stern of the boat was deeply indented, and the oar was covered by the rowing light, so the fire could not shine in, which was much more hidden than other places.
Lin Fu was about to untie Fu Qinghe's body to the rowing oar, but he felt his body move, and his head tilted out, avoiding Fu Qinghe's punch without much strength. He turned around and saw Fu Qinghe looking at him in surprise. He probably couldn't believe that he was not dead, so he saved him.
Well, without explanation, Lin Fu asked in a low voice: "Master Fu, where are you injured..." Just now, I saw blood seeping out of his back scapula in the water, and it did not hurt the vital points. At this time, he saw his right arm cut two deep holes and soaking in the water for a while. The flesh that was opened was like white lips, and blood was constantly leaking out of the left shoulder socket. It was not serious. I wonder if he was seriously injured elsewhere.
"The thief lifted the water thief and hit the wood on the boat, and hit it in his chest, and he put his breath on his back and fell into the water." Fu Qinghe hooked the oar with one hand, explaining the reason for falling into the water weakly.
Lin Fu had never seen anything that hit the wood, but he could imagine that the sides of the pleasure boat were long, narrow and narrow. If Fu Qinghe wanted to resist there, the water bandits would carry a big wood and rush over him to force him into the water.
Su Mei's cabin was at the bow of the boat, Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe were hiding at the stern, unable to hear the changes ahead, and only listened to the movements on the boat, and it seemed that the water bandits had already controlled the situation. After a while, corpses were constantly thrown from above, counting the sound of water. Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe looked at each other, except Su Mei and her maid Xiaoman, who were not alone in the house.
After the Baishui River surged, the water surface was two or three miles wide. The pleasure boat was dragged to the center of the river and tied to the bandits. The remaining three merchant ships also set fire to the bandits. Although there were archers running on the river bank on the shore to rescue, they were helpless. With the light of the fire, I saw a few people on the river bank riding tall horses. I wonder if Dong Yuan, who is famous, is there Dong Fujun.
******************************************
"Damn it." Dong Yuan looked at several burning merchant ships in the Baishui River, the three-masted sand ships escaping towards the Baishui River mouth and the flower boat tied behind, and pounded his palms hatred. The pirate actually robbed people in his eyes, how could he not be angry?
"It looks like a sea boat, maybe it is a pirate in the East, but I am afraid I can't catch up with it along the shore. Should I rush to inform the Huning Navy Town to send a water camp?" Under the reflection of torches, the magistrate of Baisha County Ding Zhiru looked a little pale, his body was blown cold by the wind, and he was raging in the territory. As the chief of Baisha County, he was somewhat unable to escape the responsibility.
"Relying on those idiots?" Dong Yuan snorted disdainfully, "Three days ago, the Chongzhou County School attacked, and there were more than a hundred Ninghai Town Army in Chongzhou County. Didn't it kill thirty or fifty pirates to kill people and horses?"
Gao Zongting knew that Dong Yuan hated these East China pirates, but if they were robbed in Weiyang Mansion and rescued by Ning Haijun Town, what kind of face would Dong Yuan have? He said: "A mere song girl is worth the mansion to mobilize many people for her all night, and it will be no longer too late for the document tomorrow."
Dong Yuan hummed coldly and said nothing, but just watched the dark shadows gradually fading away from the river in the heart of the river.
Ding Zhiru then realized that Dong Yuan was also resentful of being rejected at dusk. If it was expected, the thief should be a pirate from the East China Sea. At this time, he sent someone to rush to inform Ninghai Town, and he should have time to intercept before the pirate ship went to sea. Ding Zhiru certainly would not forget the conflict between Dong Yuan and Ninghai Town. Besides, Dong Yuan strongly advocated the establishment of a local new army outside the town army system, so he stopped talking. Even if he was doing it, he asked the county magistrate to lead the sword archer to continue chasing along the coast. He also vaguely saw that there were still people in the river that were not dead. It was thought that it was the boat owner who escaped the disaster and fell into the water and hurriedly organized people to go into the water to save people.
