Chapter 10048 How Long Will It Take?
big ship.

Mi Qi keenly noticed that when Sun Xiangling mentioned Lan Ruo and her sisters, her body visibly trembled and her brows were furrowed.

"You seem to dislike Sister Lan Ruo very much?"

Mi Qi has never heard of the Lanruo sisters, and most likely they were secretly cultivated by the Water Dragon Gang, and they have not been publicized to the outside world, and they have no reputation in the world.

"I can't say whether I like it or not, but the two of them are quite uncomfortable... Hey, I can't tell you. You will understand when you see it." Sun Xiangling pursed her lips and said.

"When will they come? I'm afraid there will be some misunderstanding, at least let's get to know each other first." Miqi said.

"After a while, they will show up."

After Sun Xiangling said something, she didn't want to talk more, and began to direct the water dragon gang to put the items at the bottom of the cabin.

The boat continued to move forward, and after the helpers had placed all the items, it was almost dusk.

Starting from Lingquan Township, the boat sailed all the way to Tianmen Pass.

This section of the waterway is very long and passes through various complex environments.

In many places, there are tributaries extending to other places.

At dusk, only a white belly remained on the horizon, and at this time, small boats rushed out from the nearby reeds.

The bows of those small boats were very sharp, and there were only about four or five people on board.

Although the boat is small, its speed is not slow, and it sails on the water like a sharp arrow.

"Water thief!" Sun Xiangling standing on the deck immediately became vigilant.

"Pay attention, the water thief has appeared."

"Hurry up, take out your weapons, and get your bows and arrows ready."

"Shield up, move faster."

The members of the Water Dragon Gang took action immediately. This group of people had never experienced a real surface battle, so they were in a hurry.

However, they also conduct drills on weekdays, all kinds of situations are expected, and there are corresponding plans.

Under such circumstances, although they were in chaos, they still finished what they should do in the chaos.

Sun Xiangling and Mi Qi have already hid in the cabin.

Sun Xiangling held the binoculars and looked outside.

For large-scale water gangs like theirs, telescopes are basically necessary. As long as you are willing to pay the price, you can buy them in the capital. will not be restricted.

Even the old ones are good enough for boat use.

"How many water thieves are there?" Mickey stood aside, with her hand on the hilt of her sword, she was ready, but melee weapons were useless at the beginning of the water battle.

Unless the boarding battle starts, but once it develops to the boarding battle, the overall situation is probably settled.

"A lot, there are dozens of boats by visual inspection, at least more than 100 people." Sun Xiangling frowned.

"This matter is very troublesome and difficult to handle. You know, water thieves will not dispatch easily. They dispatch once, and they are usually fully prepared."

Sun Xiangling put down the binoculars in her hand, and directed to a subordinate at the side: "Tell someone to go outside and ask who is on the opposite side."

"Yes."

Someone went out immediately, holding a shield to protect them, and shouting towards the outside.

"Where are you from?"

"We are members of the Water Dragon Gang..."

After shouting for a while, the small boats in all directions have surrounded the big boat.

The subordinate hurried back again.

"They don't answer."

"Then prepare to fight."

Sun Xiangling asked her subordinates to go out of the cabin to direct the soldiers to fight. She began to arrange her clothes, took off the bow hanging from the bulkhead, and took out the quiver.

It is impossible for her to be alone and let others try their best to hide in the cabin by herself.

"There is a problem here. I heard that there are almost no water thieves on the big river, and the court navy basically went to the edge of the sea." Mi Qi frowned, and she smelled a conspiracy from inside.

"Yes, water thieves have never stopped on the big river. It's just that since the navy changed to a new type of ship, the artillery was so sharp that those water thieves didn't dare to confront each other head-on. They had to hide. They became more concealed. They are also very cautious when they come out to intercept passing merchant ships... They generally don’t take lives, and they don’t take all the money, as long as the merchant ships hand over a sufficient amount according to the conditions they proposed, they will retreat.”

Sun Xiangling said.

"It seems that water thieves have also changed. These days, everything is changing, and many old ideas don't work anymore." Mi Qi couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, the navy doesn't have the energy to wipe out those water thieves, so the merchants we pass by usually choose to calm down and give a sum of money in exchange for peace."

"Generally speaking, the boats of our Water Dragon Gang can pass through unimpeded, and no water thief is willing to come and harass us. After all, we are not ordinary merchants."

"I encountered so many water thieves this time, it is impossible to say that there is no problem."

Sun Xiangling also agrees with Mi Qi's idea.

There must be something wrong with the water thief this time.

"How many people are on our ship? Are there enough bows and arrows?"

Mickey asked.

To unravel the mystery, the first thing to do is to defeat the water thief in front of you, which is the prerequisite.

"There are 23 gang members on board, and the number of bows and arrows is quite a lot, but if the number is not enough, they will definitely be suppressed. Among those water thieves, there are not those with high martial arts skills. Once our bows and arrows are not effective, let them board the ship. It's troublesome."

Sun Xiangling frowned, she was indeed in a hurry.

Now she estimated the manpower of her own family and the manpower of the water thief on the opposite side, and it seemed that they were at a disadvantage.

"Do we have any helpers? It's impossible for Master Sun to let these people guard you." Mi Qi said.

"There is still a group of people in the dark, that is, the Lan Ruo sisters and a group of elites. Whether they can come here in time is uncertain."

"Generally speaking, at most, how long will it take for them to arrive?" Miki asked.

The secret guard arranged by the leader Sun Muhua, it is impossible to delay for too long, otherwise how can the purpose of protection be achieved.

"As long as they confirm that we are in danger, they will come, usually no more than half an hour at most." Sun Xiangling said.

"It's easy to handle in half an hour. If we persist, as long as we survive half an hour and wait for them to come, it will be easy." Mi Qi said.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for half an hour. In my opinion, we helpers can hold on for a stick of incense." Sun Xiangling was a little pessimistic. In fact, she had been thinking about how to escape.

As for whether she can defeat the water thief... Sun Xiangling has no confidence at all.

This is all based on real strength comparisons, not just nonsense.

"It will definitely take half an hour. Leader Sun has arranged hidden guards, and there are hidden guards. It doesn't take half an hour for them to come here." Mi Qi suddenly showed a smile, her smile was calm and unhurried, without any fear meaning.

"Then how long will it take them?" Sun Xiangling couldn't help asking.
