The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 221 Attacking the Ship
Knowing that someone would come to hijack the ship, Zheng Changming couldn't sleep well in bed.He simply ordered someone to fetch a pen and paper, spread out the drawing paper, opened the window to face the Spring River, and splashed ink.

When the golden crow fell to the west and the river surface was floating in gold, Zheng Changming put down his pen and let out a long breath at the new work of Spring River, but he couldn't dispel the disturbance in his heart.

He looked at the seemingly peaceful river with his hands behind his back, and faces flashed in his mind.The angry father, the weeping mother and sister, the wife and children who abandoned him, the servant who was killed to protect Shen Ge on the way to join him...

Zheng Changming couldn't help but groaned in pain and closed his eyes.

"After Zheng Changming came to rescue us, he didn't go to reunite with his family, but went to Xuanzhou with us. This move is intriguing. My daughter guessed that he wanted to fight for the Zheng family to survive."

After dinner, the maid made tea, and Lin Ruyu sat at the table and analyzed Zheng Changming's intentions, "Zheng Changming's uncle and father must be determined to side with King An. Rebellion is a felony for Zhu Jiuzu. If Zheng Changming misses his family The only way to survive is to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds."

Father Lin felt that what his daughter said made sense, "He came after Shen Ge."

The fragrance of tea filled the room, and the heat curled up.Looking at the rising heat, Lin Ruyu explained, "We have the certificate issued by the prefect and the token of General Shen. Officials can't stop us. Shen Ge sent a letter to Zheng Changming, saying he was asking him to come and rescue him. Ask him if he wants to come with us."

Father Lin only knew about Zheng Changming, but he didn't know what he had done. "Shen Ge and Zheng Changming have a deep friendship?"

Lin Ruyu explained, "When Zheng Changming was in Xuanzhou, Shen Ge asked him to make a portrait to find the person who captured Mr. Dongzhu. Shen Ge is a person who must repay his kindness. He thought of this kind of love, so he sent a letter to Zheng Changming. .No matter what Zheng's parents are like, my daughter thinks that Zheng Changming is really a pretty good person."

Father Lin took a sip of tea with a smile, "Zheng Changming has clear eyes and is not a deep-minded person. Shen Ge is very discerning. This friend makes a good friend."

Hearing his father's praise of Shen Ge, Lin Ruyu felt elated.Just about to open his mouth to help Shen Ge increase his favorability in front of his father, he heard the hurried gong of "Dang Dang Dang" outside the window.

This was the signal sent by the bodyguard guarding the boat when they discovered the enemy's situation. Father Lin stood up immediately, "Jiaojiao stay in the room and don't go out."

Lin Ruyu followed behind her father, "My daughter will go with you. If there is an emergency, my daughter can protect you."

Only then did Father Lin realize that his daughter was no longer the weak little Jiaojiao she was two years ago, so he didn't stop her anymore, and only told her, "Don't be reckless."

Although the ship traveled for more than half a day after entering Hezhou, it encountered quadruple interrogations along the way.At this time, he had just passed Jiangpu County and entered the waters under the jurisdiction of Lingchuan County.

They had expected that Lingchuan and Liyang would be uneasy, but they didn't expect the enemy to rush over before it was dark.

Lin Ruyu stood on the big boat, checking the situation on the pier with the dim light.

This is the largest pier in Lingchuan County, and there is no one on the pier at the moment.

Half an hour ago, when the Lin family's fleet docked, more than 20 officials rushed over to investigate, and they wanted to peel off the boat before giving up.The Lin family paid the barge money in full, and now the robbers who hijacked the ship came, and the government officials who were supposed to maintain law and order and protect the ships disappeared without a trace.

Said that this group of robbers did not collude with the government, only ghosts would believe it!That being the case, then send them to the underworld to reunite with ghosts.

After quickly checking the guards and bodyguards on the ship, Father Lin turned his head and saw his daughter holding a long sword. The murderous look in her eyes made Father Lin feel distressed.

How much tempering did he go through to turn his delicate daughter into what she is today.

"Mother..." By the window of the guest room on the second floor, 14-year-old Qian Caiming hid behind his mother, his face pale with fright, "There are a lot more robbers here than in the previous two days."

Sangu Lin was also afraid, but she couldn't show it, she just patted her shoulder to comfort her son, "There are dozens of bodyguards guarding the boat, they can't kill them, my son is not afraid."

Qian Baocui was full of confidence, "That's right, what are you afraid of! My uncle has General Shen Cunyu's tiger head order in his hand, and the bodyguards can't guard the boat. Uncle can use the token to recruit officers and soldiers to guard the boat. It will be more ostentatious."

That token is the reassurance of everyone on board.

Qian Lancui said in a low voice, "Mother, the world is in such a mess, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace if we go to Pu County."

Qian Caiming immediately said, "I don't want to go to Pu County, I have to go back to Xuanzhou with my uncle."

Lin Sangu's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.

Outside the boat, dozens of black shadows rushed to the side of the boat, fighting with the Liangdao Escorts.As soon as the two sides met, Lin Ruyu saw the difference.Before she could open her mouth, Shen Ge who came over with a sword said, "Father-in-law, this group of people is much stronger than the previous waves, I'll bring people down to reinforce."

This group of people is much stronger than the water bandits they encountered in the past two days.This is not a bunch of rabble, but a well-trained team.Father Lin nodded in response, told Shen Ge to be careful, and then ordered, "Jiaojiao also sent eight people to reinforce, and make a quick decision. Lin Quan, tell the archers and throwers to get ready."

"Yes." Lin Quan immediately sent a message.

The lanterns on the big ship illuminated the men in black. This group of people not only wore black clothes, but also covered their heads with black cloth, leaving only two holes for their eyes.Lin Ruyu frowned, raised her sleeves and checked the wind direction.

The southeast wind is blowing now, and the gang of bandits who covered their mouths and noses also came from the southeast. I'm afraid it's not just a coincidence.Lin Ruyu discussed with his father, "Father, the wind direction is not good for us at this moment, in order to prevent them from attacking with poisonous smoke, it is better for us to cover our mouths and noses."

Father Lin immediately ordered to go down, and Lin Ruyu then ordered Luo Xian and others to also cover their mouths and noses, and go down to reinforce the Liangdao Escort.

Then, Lin Ruyu asked Luo Wu, who was good at scouting, to take the two of them to the direction where the man in black came to see if there was anything wrong.Just as Luo Wu and the others left, Lin Ruyu, who was keeping an eye on the battle situation, suddenly saw a man in black with a thick bamboo hairpin fastening his hair in the crowd, and rushed towards Shen Ge with a knife.

Her pupils shrank, and she immediately shouted, "Brother Dafu."

Lin Dafu immediately took a step forward.

Lin Ruyu pointed to the man in black with a thick bamboo hairpin who was about to rush in front of Shen Ge, and immediately ordered, "Shen Ge Dongnan, that masked man with a thick bamboo hairpin on his head. Brother Dafu, kill him!"

"Oh." After Dafu found the right person, the feathered arrow flew straight to the man in black wearing the bamboo hairpin with the sound of the wind.

Hearing the bad wind behind him, the man in black with the knife rushed towards Shen Ge rolled over on the spot to avoid the bamboo arrow that attacked him, and turned his head to look in the direction the arrow came from.Before he could see clearly, the second arrow flew over.The man in black rolled over in fright, dodging the deadly arrow.

Immediately afterwards, the third arrow flew over again, directly blocking his escape route.The man in black ran away quickly after rolling and crawling a few times.
