"Captain, there is movement ahead!"
As soon as the boss of the boat finished speaking, Liao hugged the mast and climbed up. When Huo Xi saw this, he didn't have time to look at it, so he handed him the binoculars.
He hugged the mast and climbed to the crow's nest at the top of the mast.
"The owner, it's a water thief! He's fighting with a merchant ship. There are about 20 pirates who have climbed onto the merchant ship!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Da made a gesture to the bodyguards on the ship and the five bodyguards on the other ship, and ten bodyguards immediately ran to the bow of the ship to stand ready.
Huo Xi also asked Shen Qianzhong and a group of sailors to help bring the earth cannon from the cabin to the deck.
He took two maids to the cabin and hid the valuables under the deck. The gold, silver and bank notes were wrapped in oilcloth and carried close to the body. trapped.
Give some broken silver to the two maids, and seeing the calm look on Xiang Cao's face, Xia He's hands and feet trembled.
comforted her a few words: "Can you water?"
Xia He shook her head.
"Then you will follow me for a while."
"Girl, let Xia He follow me. I have great strength and good water skills."
Huo Xi nodded in agreement.
When we got to the deck, we saw that Shen Qianzhong and others were on the deck, and they were being directed around by the boss of the boat. Huo Xi watched from the side, and saw that the boss of the boat had arranged everything in an orderly manner. As if he could fight, his heart settled down.
Decided to trust Mu Yan once, this is the first time to take an order to do business, so I can't smash my own signboard.
"Boss, do we want to turn around?" The boss of the boat arranged all the people and asked in front of Huo Xi.
Huo Xi raised his head and asked Liaoshou who had climbed up the mast how the battle was going.
"There are a lot of people on the merchant ship, and they seem to be quite capable of fighting."
As soon as Huo Xi heard this, he said don't turn around, but don't go forward either. look at the situation.
After a while, Lei Da ran over from the bow of the boat and asked Liao for the binoculars. Then Lingshou threw down the binoculars.
Lei Da caught it, put it in front of his eyes, and poked forward.
"There are twenty-three water thieves, and there is one more on the fast boat. There are quite a few guards on the merchant ship, and no dart flags have been planted."
After Lei Da finished speaking, he was thinking that the guards on the merchant ship could still withstand one or two, when he saw a water thief holding a big knife and slashing **** a sack. When the bag was torn, white things poured out.
Lei yelled at Zhiniang thief: "It's rice. The water thief chopped up the rice bag!" He gritted his teeth angrily.
He came out of hard times. If his family wasn’t poor enough to support him, he wouldn’t have secretly gone to serve as a soldier just to have enough to eat.
Now seeing water thieves chopping up the rice bag, it makes my heart ache. I can't wait to fly over immediately.
But the captain didn't speak, and he didn't dare to move. His task is to protect the safety of the owner and the cargo on the two ships.
When Huo Xi heard that it was a grain ship, he felt distressed.
"If we go over to help, can you do it?"
"Okay!" Lei Da nodded fiercely.
The boss of the ship disagreed: "Your task is to protect the safety of our ship owner and the cargo on the two ships, not to fight fiercely."
As the boss of the ship, he failed to protect the ship, was dismissed by the ship owner, and was known by everyone in the industry. Can he and the sailors still find jobs?
Shen Qianzhong also felt that he should not take any risks: "Boss, let's take a look first. If the situation is really critical, let's go there."
Huo Xi, like Lei Da, wanted to go forward to support. The education she has received is to act bravely in righteousness, and to be generous with money.
Besides, Guangfengshui also conducts business through waterways, and they treat themselves like others. If Guangfengshui's boat encounters water thieves in the future, others will just watch with cold eyes, and she feels very uncomfortable.
Besides, the pirates are rampant, and it is time to unite with a group of boatmen to suppress their arrogance, otherwise they will win again and again, and this waterway will not be peaceful.
In the future, most of the money earned may be used to pay for dart silver. Who dares to come out to do business easily!
But he had to listen to the boss of the ship and ignore the lives of the people on the ship.
Jian Lei put down the telescope in his hands in a breathless manner, and reached out to take it. When I saw this, I screamed in my heart, how can I still fight, this is obviously a disadvantage!
Several sacks on the boat were cut open, exposing the goods inside, which aroused the eyes of the water thieves to glow green, and their attacks became even more vicious.
Seeing the water thief slashing at a guard, blood spattering, Huo Xi's heart trembled, he couldn't just ignore death!
Take a closer look, ah, there are two acquaintances!
hurriedly handed the binoculars to Lei Da: "There are people I know on the boat! We can't just watch. You can see if you can save it, and if your people can fight it, hurry up!"
When Lei Da heard it, he quickly picked it up and looked at it. He saw that there were people falling into the water on both sides, and some people were lying on the deck, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Firm eyes: "Yes, can save!"
"Quick, come over!" Huo Xi urged the boat boss as soon as he heard this.
As soon as the boss of the ship heard Huo Xi's order, he had no choice but to order his son at the helm to ship the ship.
Lei Da stopped him: "The owner of the ship stays on this boat. Let's get on that boat and let that boat approach."
Shen Qianzhong nodded repeatedly when he heard that, if he wanted to save people, he still had to ensure the safety of his boss.
As soon as the two boats approached, Lei Da and the others each carried a lot of earth cannons, jumped onto the other boat, and approached the fighting place ahead.
Huo Xi's ship didn't move, and he watched the movement ahead neither far nor near. The boss of the ship meant that if the situation ahead was not good, he would turn around and sail away immediately. Keeping a ship is a ship.
Huo Xi waited anxiously on the deck, and the telescope was picked up by Liaoshou again. Huo Xi looked up from time to time to ask him about the situation ahead.
After waiting for another half an hour, Liaoshou said pleasantly: "Lei Escort settled the matter, let us go there!"
Huo Xi was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly asked the boat boss to pull the boat over.
The captain and his subordinates over there suffered heavy casualties, and the young captain was also hacked. He was thanking Lei Da and the others. He was standing on the deck, ready to wait for Lei Da's employer to come over.
Seeing the boat approaching, he raised his eyes and looked over, and his eyes straightened when he saw it.
"My dear brother!"
Huo Xi rolled his eyes, which were as blind as ever.
Just finished complaining, and saw that he had let Lei Da carry him and flew over.
Seeing Huo Xi, she rushed over: "My dear brother! Brother Wei almost won't see you anymore. This brother Wei saved his life. From now on, I will be your brother's cow and horse..."
Huo Xi looked disgusted, and pushed him away: "There's no need to act like a cow, I owed you a favor before, this time I will pay it back."
Gong Ziyi glared at her: "Is my brother's life so worthless?"
Huo Xi ignored him, and glanced at him: "How is the injury, how are the casualties?"
Another glance at the Gong family's boat, Li Neng glanced at her, bowed his hands gratefully at her, turned around and went to deal with the matter.
Thanks to meeting the young master, who is sworn brothers, otherwise things would be difficult. If something happens to the young master, the Patriarch will not let him go.
Gong Ziyi froze when Huo Xi asked him about the casualties: "Several died."
Huo Xi sighed and looked at Lei Da.
