When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 66: Water Bandits, Rebellious Slaves

After chatting for a while, Feng Biao went out to check around, then came back breathing hot air and rubbing his cold hands.

"As the old saying goes, it's not cold when it snows, but it is cold when it melts. Tomorrow I will send you to Yuezhou and then rush back immediately.

Otherwise it will be too late. I am worried that if the temperature drops too cold, a thick layer of ice may form on the water, which will create great resistance to the navigation of ships.

If the ship cannot be moved for a long time and is stuck in one place, it will be very dangerous.”

Gu Hua pursed his lips and nodded to show his understanding.

But he was also more worried about the children and Mu Feng, Mu Xue, Xia He and the others.

It was late at night. Feng Biao was tired after several days of fishing and had no interest in continuing the conversation, so he suggested going to bed early.

On the fishing boat, there is a bed in the cabin.

Not to mention Qi Yan, who already knew that Gu Hua was a girl, even Feng Biao, who saw that Gu Hua was not in good health, graciously gave her the bed.

"You sleep on the bed, and we'll find a place to lie down for the night."

Gu Hua originally wanted to say that she was not sleepy and would sit all night, but when she saw that they did not want to hear her answer, she went to find a place to lie down.

Shaking his head, Gu Hua was ready to go to sleep with his clothes on. Then the three of them heard someone shouting outside.

"I'll go out and see what's going on?"

Feng Biao stood up and walked out of the cabin, and Gu Hua and Qi Yan also stood up and followed him out.

When the three of them came out, they saw someone on a boat some distance away waving at them and shouting, "Don't go any further. There seems to be a cargo ship being robbed by pirates. Go back and leave here."

"Water bandits." Feng Biao exclaimed.

Although the pirates rarely robbed poor fishermen like them, if they went there at this time, they could be implicated.

"Thank you for your information. We will avoid that waterway now." After thanking the kind boatman, Feng Biao was about to go back to find other forks and take the waterway to Yuezhou.

Gu Hua walked over and stopped him from turning the sail. "Keep going, I'll give you another 100 taels, no, 200 taels."

As soon as Gu Hua heard that bandits were robbing a cargo ship ahead, she felt anxious and wondered if the robbed cargo ship was the one that Mu Feng and his crew were on.

"You're crazy! They're murderous pirates." Feng Biao stared and said, "Even if you're in a hurry, you can't go to your death by water!"

Gu Hua was so anxious that he had no mood to explain to Feng Biao. He didn't know when a sharp dagger appeared in his hand and was pressed against his throat.

"Set sail and sail forward with all your might."

Feng Biao looked at the pretty boy who was chatting with him just now in disbelief. He felt like a group of alpacas were galloping through his heart.

"I can change the route and still send you to Yuezhou." Feng Biao wanted to fight for his life again.

Gu Hua pressed the dagger forward, and a trickle of blood flowed from his neck.

At this moment, Feng Biao had no doubt at all that if he did not obey, the man in front of him with a cold face would continue to bleed from his throat.

Feng Biao gritted his teeth and steered the boat forward, thinking that if the bandits he encountered were too brutal, he would jump into the water to escape.

Although jumping into the water in the middle of winter is painful, it is better than being hacked to death and thrown into the water to feed the fish.

Gu Hua saw that Feng Biao had no intention of going back, so there was no need for her to attack him again. When she took back the dagger, she still explained, "There might be someone very important to me on the cargo ship that encountered pirates earlier."

Feng Biao paused as he controlled the sail. He finally understood why Gu Hua had attacked him. "You said two hundred taels. Not a penny less."

Gu Hua knew that Feng Biao was volunteering to take them there, so he nodded in gratitude and said, "Okay."

"I am the head of the Gu Mansion in Jiangzhou City. You helped me today. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me."

Feng Biao felt that the pain in his neck was not so severe anymore. He was surprised and said, "You are the prodigal son that everyone in Jiangzhou City is talking about."

Gu Hua: “…”Are you polite?
"Good boy, you are really good at talking." Gu Hua: "Well said, don't say it next time."

Feng Biao scratched the back of his head, knowing that it was not good to say bad things about others in front of them. He raised his head and looked left and right, but no longer looked at Gu Hua who was staring ahead in the darkness.

"Damn, I didn't expect these people to be so powerful."

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Hua and the other two heard the sound of fighting from the distance, accompanied by the sound of angry cursing.

"Ah! You dare to snatch the child? I will fight you."

Gu Hua was shocked when he heard who made the sharp cry and could no longer remain calm.

She couldn't wait for Feng Biao to drive the boat over.

Gu Hua mobilized all his supernatural powers, his palms emitting a faint blue light in the dark night. With a light wave, the water surface instantly condensed into a thick ice surface nearly a foot wide, heading towards the direction of the cargo ship.

Qi Yan and Feng Biao, who were not far from her, felt that the surroundings became even colder. They turned around and saw Gu Hua next to them jump off the boat and walk on the river as if it were flat ground.

Hearing Mu Xue's shout, Qi Yan, who was also worried about the children, his eyes flashed after seeing Gu Hua's behavior, and he also jumped off the glowing ice and followed her.

Feng Biao bent down and looked at the river surface, muttering, "Strange, why is there no ice anywhere else, but there is an ice road leading to the cargo ship?"

Just now we were far away and it was dark, so we could only hear the sounds of fighting but couldn't see what was happening here.

When Gu Hua and Qi Yan walked over on the ice, they saw a man holding a big knife, standing at the bow and commanding hundreds of bandits to surround everyone on the cargo ship.

The constant cries for help and wailing coming from the cargo ship and the river proved that the fight had been going on for some time. Looking at the scene in front of us, it was obvious that the people on the boat were at a disadvantage.

When Gu Hua and Qi Yan jumped onto the deck, they saw Mu Feng with blood on his arm, holding a sword, and Mu Xue, who was also injured, along with the few remaining Gu family guards, holding Xia He, who was holding a child, and several little girls behind them.

The enemy seemed to have discovered their weak spot. A man holding a big knife and a vicious face ordered his men holding bloody weapons and rushed towards Xia He and several shivering little girls holding their children.

"Sister Xia He, I'm so scared. I'll give you the child. I don't want to be your maid anymore."

Someone took the lead, and another girl named Xiaohong also wanted to force the child she was holding onto Xia He, who was already holding two children.

She cried, "Me too. Why were we sold to you instead of someone else's family? We are so unlucky."

"You...you two..." Xia He, who always has a good temper, was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Mu Xue spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted angrily: "Xiao Hong, Xiao Lu, don't forget that your indentures are still in the hands of the patriarch. Aren't you afraid that the patriarch will come after you if you do this?"

"No need to settle accounts with them. They are not worthy." A cold voice sounded on the cargo ship.
