With the boss's words, the men below were overjoyed one by one, and they hurriedly shouted to go to the layout.

In the robbery industry, they are skilled workers, and in the peak season, they did not rob seven or eight times a month, but there were five or six times.

You don't need to be instructed to know how to set and set traps.

For a while, it was very busy.

On the river, the boatmen were full of confusion and anxiety.

Isn't it according to the old rules that you will be safe and sound after following the official ship? But how come the words from the front are to keep them vigilant at all times, especially to let each boat, select two or three elite guards, prepare longbows and broadswords, etc., and be on standby at all times?

Could it be that something has changed?

Everyone was puzzled, and they didn't dare to complain, they were all grasshoppers on the same boat at the moment, and if they didn't listen, they were afraid of being abandoned by the boat in front of them.

Even if they don't want to listen, can they still turn back? Most of them are businessmen, and they are going to sell goods for money.

If you don't go over today, and then turn back and wait for the next official ship, God knows when you will go? Is the business still going to work?

Therefore, he honestly followed the instructions and selected the capable guards on the ship to be on standby at all times.

Both horizontally and vertically have to cross the canyon, so if you follow closely, you should be safe, right?

They all followed Song Chongjin and their boats, and slowly sailed towards Tiger Leaping Gorge.

At this time, there were dozens of ships, anchoring and sailing, in a hurry, no one noticed, a small sampan, taking the opportunity to row into a corner, and soon disappeared.

Sure enough, when I entered the Tiger Leaping Gorge and stood on the deck, I could feel the turbulent water below.

The boatmen were all nervous in their positions, listening to the instructions of the ship's boss to avoid the undercurrent below.

All of a sudden, the speed slowed down.

The water bandits hiding in the shadows, looking at the ships that are slowly passing by, their eyes are red, this is all white silver.

There was the grumpy one, and he couldn't help but chirp: "Damn! If it weren't for the county order that got in the way, none of these fat sheep would have been able to escape! Now I want the grandfathers to watch this fat sheep run away! Ye Ke agreed, to buy a gold bracelet for Cuicui in Nayi Hong Courtyard, and she will accompany me for two nights! Now it's all fucking ruined! ”

Someone next to him laughed at him: "Old Seven, just like you bear, can the girl Cuicui look at you?" Don't coax you, do you? ”

"Not really! Cuicui girl is the top brand! Can you look down on us big bosses? According to me, Seventh, why do you have to put a cold ass with a hot face? With this money, let's go and call a table of noodles, put on a few catties of good wine, drink happily, and pull a girl to be happy all night, better than anything else! ”

"Old Seven, you don't know that those girls in the yard are more slippery than loaches. When you are coaxed to take out money, you speak better than you sing. When you run out of money, you will turn your face and deny people! Why suffer from this idleness? It's just a woman, isn't it the same when the lights are blown? ”

As he spoke, a few bandits squeezed their eyebrows and laughed.

The angry face of the man named Lao Qi: "Nonsense! Cuicui said, she has me in her heart! Besides, those women are also worthy of being compared to Cuicui? ”

……

The people below laughed and cursed, and in a cave above, the water bandit boss frowned, always feeling a little uneasy.

Look at the sky outside, it's past noon.

The sun is shining on the river, half of the white flowers are dazzling, but both sides are blocked by cliffs, and the clear water is deep and shady.

This Tiger Leaping Gorge is about fifty or sixty miles long, and because it is against the water, it can only go seven or eight miles in an hour.

The boat hurried slowly, because of the rugged waterway, it was past noon, and only two or three light and small sailed out of Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Those merchant ships were fully loaded with cargo, had a heavy draft, and the more careful they were, the slower they became.

Because the cliffs on both sides of the bank are extremely high, but it is the time of Shen, and the light in the canyon is dimmed.

The bandits who were waiting on the shore looked at the sky and knew that it was almost time, so they all stood up and looked over the river.

At this moment, the ships that completely sailed out of Tiger Leaping Gorge were only three or four out of ten.

Most of the ships were still moving slowly.

The bandits who were below couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to the water bandit boss and clamored to do it.

In the bottom of the water bandit boss's heart, greed overcame the slightest uneasiness, and he waved his hand: "Copy guy-"

The bandits were like wild dogs out of the cage, whistling, pinning their blades, and boarding the sampans one after another.

There were three or five people, riding a small sampan, relying on the familiarity of this water, and quickly slid towards the river.

And the bandits on the shore, one by one, with bows in their hands and arrows stained with fire oil, lit in braziers, shot at the ships on the river.

As early as the time when the bandits were shouting and whistling, there was a change on the river.

The slow-moving ships, their swift rudder turning, got out of the way, revealing a ship in their midst.

The sharp-eyed bandits looked at it and felt dazzled, wasn't that the official ship? Why haven't you left yet?

The water bandits who were shouting and rushing towards the river paddled paused, and they didn't know whether to rush up or turn back?

The eyes of the bandit boss who was halfway up the mountain also widened suddenly, looking at the official ship that seemed to appear out of nowhere, he couldn't help but scold his mother: "What's going on?" ”

At the same time, he shouted at the bandits who were shooting arrows outside: "Stop! Stop it! ”

How can this arrow stop?

For a moment, the surface of the river, which was almost boiling, was strangely quiet, and I watched those flaming arrows rushing towards the official ship!

Finished! This is the voice of everyone present at this moment.

The fire oil on this arrow will burn every time it is wood, and as long as a dozen or so such rockets are fired on a ship, the fire cannot be controlled.

Not to mention, dozens or hundreds of them shot out at once, all heading towards the official ship, I'm afraid it will be burned to ashes, right?

In front of everyone's eyes, they saw four or five figures rushing out of the official boat, with swords shining in their hands, cutting most of the hundred or so arrows down on the river.

The few remaining fish that slipped through the net, even if they were shot on the official boat, were quickly extinguished.

The bandit boss breathed a sigh of relief at first, but quickly scolded himself: "Phew! is unproductive, he is an official, Lao Tzu is a bandit! He's fine, what's so relieved? ”

The thief-eyed bandit next to him had already come back to his senses, and said with a panicked face: "Boss, it's not good, we're just afraid that we've been calculated!" What to do? We're attackers! If it's rumored—"

Thinking of the ruthless methods used to deal with the water bandits during the reign of the first emperor, the water bandits present couldn't help but fight a cold war together.

The water bandit boss also quickly understood, and a fierce light flashed on his hideous face, "This is for us!" ”

The thief-eyed bandit said anxiously: "Boss, what should we do?" If the news leaks out, it's a big crime to kill the head! ”

The fierce light in the eyes of the water bandit boss was uncertain, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "This is to force us to make a move!" If you don't do it, you've already made a move anyway, even if we stop at this moment, I'm afraid it's too late! Just do a big ticket, and then go away. ”

"With the money in hand, let's go outside to eat and drink spicy food! Hide for a few years and come back when it's over! ”
