Destiny Blessed Girl

Chapter 265 Sharpening the Knife
The boat sailed for a day, the weather was calm, the sun had already sunk to the west, and on the deck, the temperature that had been exposed to the sun for a day was completely lost by the cool evening breeze.

Gu Zhi'an tightened his cloak, looked at the seemingly endless torrential river, frowned for a whole day and never let go, always feeling that something was wrong.

Hongying came over with the freshly brewed tea, "Miss, have some hot tea."

Gu Zhi'an took the tea bowl, the temperature was slightly hot and comfortable, she was not willing to drink it for a while, so she held it to warm her hands.

"Hongying, do you feel something is wrong?"

Hongying was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you think everything is going too smoothly?" Gu Zhian asked.

Hongying thought for a while, then nodded, "It's going well, but isn't it going well?"

Gu Zhian shook his head, "It's not that it went well, but it was too smooth. After Liyang Marquis rebelled and he knew we were going to Jiangnan with 30 taels of silver, how could he let us get away so easily?"

Hongying said: "He is far away in the capital, so he must not be able to control our affairs here."

"That's true, but who knows if he is really in the capital? I always feel that Manager Li and the others are exposed too easily, and we captured them easily, as if they were just waiting for us to discover something wrong with them."

Hongying was puzzled, "What's the purpose?"

"Maybe they want to use this to numb us, let us think that the danger is gone, let us relax our vigilance, they will definitely attack again, but we don't know where, where." Gu Zhian said.

The tea bowl in her hand was no longer hot, she picked up the tea bowl and drank most of the warm tea in one gulp, then turned to Hong Ying and said, "Go to Lou Yu and ask him to come to my cabin to discuss matters."

When Lou Yu arrived, Gu Zhian was already sharpening his knife.

"Miss Gu, what are you doing?" Lou Yu looked puzzled, and sat down on the cushion diagonally opposite Gu Zhian.

Gu Zhi'an took a cloth towel and wiped the dagger carefully. This dagger was very ordinary both inside and out. It was something that could be bought in blacksmith shops outside. It needed to be sharpened frequently to keep it sharp.

"Captain Lou, it's been a day and a half since we set off from Yongzhou. I just asked the new boatman. According to the current speed, we can reach Qianzhou in one and a half days. If someone wants to attack us on the way, what do you think the other party will do?" Where and when will you do it?" Gu Zhian asked.

Lou Yu was taken aback for a moment, then his face became serious, "Why did Miss Gu say that? But what's wrong?"

Gu Zhian shook his head, "You answer my question first."

Lou Yu thought for a while, and said: "If I were me, I would launch a surprise attack around midnight tonight, when the defense of the whole ship is at its weakest. Of course, it is not easy to succeed in a surprise attack. The military guards on our ship are strong enough. More than 100 people, ordinary bandits are not our opponents at all."

Gu Zhian paused for wiping the blade, and looked up at Lou Yu, "What if the other party is not an ordinary bandit? And there is an internal response?"

Lou Yu's eyes sank, he stopped answering, and lowered his eyes to think.

After nightfall, the wind and waves became stronger than during the day, and the number of guards patrolling on the deck gradually decreased. Only a dozen people remained patrolling outside, and the rest returned to their cabins.

When it was Haishi, the guards in charge of patrolling the night couldn't bear the cold and returned to the cabin and refused to come out. Except for the few people who were in charge of the helm, the boatmen who took turns on the deck also quietly got up. They gathered on the deck On the way, someone looked around for a while, then turned around and gestured to the boatmen. The boatmen immediately distributed and went to their respective cabins to take out their weapons.

Guanshi Li was also rescued at this moment. He threw the stinky cloth stuffed in his mouth on the ground, rinsed his mouth for a long time before stopping, panting heavily: "Son of a bitch, wait for that The woman is caught alive by me, and I will definitely make her pay ten times and a hundred times for the suffering I have suffered."
