Chapter 249 Encountering Bandits on the Road
So no matter whether Gu Yu is the daughter-in-law of the Han family or the aunt of the new emperor. If Gu Yu bought supplies from her capital, she deserved half of the credit. That’s why she came to see Gu Yu off today. She said, “I heard Madam Gu’s righteousness, so I came to see Madam Gu off today.”

Gu Yu: "..."

She had no connection with Jian Shi, so was she serious about coming to give her a ride?

However, after visiting so many places, Jian Shi was the only female official she had seen. Facing Jian Shi, who was dressed in plain clothes, Gu Yu said sincerely: "As a member of Daqi, this is what I should do. I am very grateful that you can come and send me back home."

When Jian Shi was talking to Gu Yu, he inadvertently glanced at Han Yili, who had been standing beside Gu Yu without saying a word, and found that he looked 50% like the person above. He was sure in his heart that Gu Yu was really the daughter-in-law of the Han family.

At this time, the smile on his face became more sincere, and he said: "Madam Gu, please don't call yourself a commoner. In my heart, you and I are the same."

Gu Yu's mouth twitched, thinking how were they the same? She was a commoner and Jian Shi was an official. In this dynasty with clear hierarchy, no matter whether she was married to Han Yili or not, her status was not as high as his in front of the officials.

I complained secretly in my heart and replied with the word "I dare not".

Then he invited Jian Shi to take a stroll on the boat. After seeing Jian Shi off, Gu Yu and the others set off.

From Dezhou City, it is still a long journey of more than half a month to Linfeng County.

There were three ships traveling together on this return trip, so when they arrived at the supply town, Gu Yu and his party did not choose to disembark, but instead sent some people to purchase the necessary supplies.

That night, the night was as dark as ink, shrouding the busy river traffic. Three ships were moving slowly along the river.

Suddenly, a group of extremely fierce bandits appeared at the bend of the river like ghosts. They held sharp weapons tightly in their hands, their eyes revealed ferocity and violence, staring at the boat in front of them, and said viciously: "Brothers, the big fat sheep is coming! Everyone, be alert, I will kill everyone on the boat when they are not prepared!"

Nowadays, supplies are strictly controlled by the court.

Putting aside the fact that the common people were already facing the dilemma of having no food to eat, even the bandits who occupied the mountains and robbed houses could only obtain very limited supplies.

About ten days ago, news came from Texas that a fool had bought two large ships full of clothing, rice, flour and food - these were the most scarce resources at the moment.

When the bandits near Mingzhou City heard the news, they completely ignored Nan Quan, who was escorting the caravan, and were determined to take what they had been waiting for for a long time.

"Brothers, hold on to your food, we're going to have a big fight." Following the bandit leader's order, the bandits quickly jumped onto the deck, their eyes fixed on the looming ship in front of them.

At the same time, Gu Yu also got the news that the bandits were blocking the road, and immediately climbed up like a flash of lightning, startling Han Yili who was standing beside him: "Ayu, what happened?"

Gu Yu used her mental power to explore the situation in the waterway ahead. Sure enough, there were two boats parked in the dark, and the boats were full of densely packed people. She said in a deep voice: "Qiu Shi sent a message that there are bandits blocking the road at the bend ahead. I want to go out and check the situation."

The ship carried not only important supplies, but also her husband's dowry. These things were of vital importance to her and must not be taken away by bandits at any cost.

Since the first day of the trip, Han Yili has been learning martial arts from Gu Yu, and now it has begun to show results. He doesn't want Gu Yu to protect him all the time, and he is willing to let Gu Yu face the dangers outside alone, so he said: "Ayu, I will go with you!"

Gu Yu also wanted Han Yili to practice, and she firmly believed that she could protect Han Yili, so she nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to stay with me."

"Okay." Han Yili replied, and without making a sound, she and Gu Yu got up, dressed neatly, and summoned Qiuyue and Qiumo to the room to guard the three sleeping children.

Gu Yu handed Han Yili a sword and instructed: "If anyone who is lucky enough to survive comes on board, I will kill him with my sword for your wife!" Han Yili knew that bandits were divided into two categories. One category was civilians who had to go out in groups to rob in order to fill their stomachs because their families were out of food; the other category was vicious bandits who were on the brink of life and death and committed many evil deeds.

There is no need to think too much, the group of bandits that appeared tonight must belong to the latter.

After all, how could a bandit who dared to come out and rob in the middle of the night be a good person?
Han Yili gripped the sword tightly in her hand and responded firmly: "I will."

Gu Yu rubbed Han Yili's head, strode outside, and quickly summoned several robots to protect Gu Wu, Yang and others.

He immediately gave the order: "Light up all the lights on the ship immediately!"

In the blink of an eye, the three ships were brightly lit, making it impossible for the bandits on the opposite side to hide.

The bandit leader widened his eyes and looked at the ships opposite in disbelief, thinking to himself: What on earth are these three ships made of that they can emit such a dazzling light!

His eyes were fixed on the white-haired woman standing at the bow, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

In the dark night, the three ships looked particularly large. The bandit leader thought: If we can successfully rob this ship today, whether we leave the food for our brothers to enjoy, or sell it for money, or even exchange it for other benefits, it will be a considerable gain!

Seeing that the ships on the other side did not retreat but continued to move forward, the bandit leader licked his dry lips and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, did you see that? There are not only food on those three ships, but also women!"

He paused, then shouted: "As long as we can capture these three ships in one fell swoop, the women and food will all be ours!!"

As soon as the words fell, all the bandits responded and roared excitedly: "Roar! Follow the boss's command and beat them!"

"Boss, charge!!!"

"Damn it, if we can catch these fat sheep, we won't have to take risks again for the next year or so!"

"Rush!!"

The morale of the bandits was greatly boosted, and they drove their boats straight towards where Gu Yu and others were.

At this critical moment, Gu Yu gave an order, Qiu Shi took the lead, picked up the sword, jumped into the turbulent sea, and swung it lightly.

"what!"

A heart-wrenching scream was heard, and the ship over there suddenly retreated a long way.

The bandit leader expected that Gu Yu would dare to bring so much goods to Linfeng County, so he must have made adequate preparations.

The fight just now was just an appetizer, which could not scare him at all. So, he opened his eyes wide and shouted fiercely: "Charge for me! Kill them for me!"

"kill!!!"

Nan Quan, who was on another boat, saw the bandits attacking again, and turned to his brothers who came with him and warned them, "Brothers, these bandits have no moral principles at all. Keep a close eye on the captain's stuff. If anyone who doesn't know how to live or die climbs onto the boat, chop him up!"
