Although Mingxi and the others had a similar journey to Ye Zhen, they didn't want to take the water route, so they separated not long after leaving Shajiu City. On this way to Tianjin City, the three of them were like wild horses running wild, having a great time. .
All the way to the Bailong River, Mingxi bought a small boat and crossed the Bailong River, where is the border of the Kingdom of Jin.
At sunset, there was only their small boat floating on the river, and the moonlight was reflected on the water surface, shining brightly, with a special charm.
When I came to the middle of the river, I realized that there were several ships in front of me, and one of them was surrounded by a large ship. It looked a bit ominous. The distance between them was a bit far, and in the darkness, the other party did not see them.
Their small boats had no lights, and no one could see them approaching the larger boats with the current.
"There seems to be something wrong with the boat over there." Huohuang sat on the deck, looking at the big boat in the river, "Mingxi, is that an official boat?"
Mingxi raised his eyebrows, "It seems to be."
"Should we go and have a look?" Mio asked enthusiastically, she was always interested in anything about the Moonland.
"Don't meddle in your own business, maybe you want to kill and set fire." Ming Xi said flatly, if it was an official ship, it would be even more troublesome, maybe it was an official ship of Yuan State, and he didn't want to interfere in Yuan State's affairs.
Huohuang and Mio'er were a little disappointed.
Their boat passed those ships slowly, and saw several people tied up on the deck of the big ship, and the ships surrounding the big ship looked like pirate ships.
There are still pirates on the Bailong River
"That person looks familiar..." Mingxi looked at a young man on the deck, searching for the existence of this person in his memory.
"Is it your friend?" Fire Phoenix asked excitedly.
Mingxi frowned, "That's right."
Xu Jinbei! How could his previous companion meet pirates here.
"Then do you want to help?" Mio asked.
"Go and see what's going on." Ming Xi nodded slightly. Since Xu Jinbei was on the big boat, he had no reason to turn a blind eye.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huohuang and Mio'er had disappeared in an instant.
"..." This speed!
The person held hostage on the big ship was indeed Xu Jinbei. Besides him, there were also academicians and other officials from the Imperial Academy of Jin.
Xu Jinbei wasn't on this boat originally, he just happened to meet his grandfather's former students and was invited to board the boat together, but he didn't expect to meet pirates on the Bailong River.
It has been many years since Bailongjiang has heard of pirates, so many people suddenly appeared, and it seems that everyone is vicious. Xu Jinbei thinks that it is not just as simple as pirates, but most of the weak scholars on this boat, even if he has the ability to resist, at least Many people jump into the river to escape, and whether they can reach the shore smoothly after escaping is also a problem.
How should he let everyone in this boat survive
"Take away all the gold, silver and treasure, and the women too." The pirate leader stood on the deck with a big knife in his hand and ordered his subordinates.
"You are just asking for money, why are you taking people away?" Xu Jinbei frowned and asked in a low voice.
The women on this ship are all Miss Qianjin, and they are going to the capital city to participate in the draft. If they are taken away by pirates, even if they can be rescued in the future, their reputation will be ruined.
"What I want is a woman." The leader had a scar on his cheek, which looked terrifying. He stared straight at the timid woman on the deck, and laughed loudly, "They are all delicate and tender." The meat is enough for our brothers to be fresh for a while."
"You... You can take whatever you want, but don't take my daughter." The grand scholar protected his daughter behind him, staring at the leader in fear and anger.
"Bring all these women aboard." The leader sneered and ordered his subordinates to arrest them.
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from the cabin of the boat, "It's not good for you to do this. People say they will give you gold and silver treasures, but you still want their daughters. You are too greedy."
"Who is talking?" The pirate leader clenched the knife in his hand and asked angrily.
The cabin of this ship is three stories high, and a slender figure appeared on it, and she looked down at the people on the deck, "I'm talking, let's just talk about you, you are so ugly, and you want someone to look down on you Girl with tender skin, are you embarrassed?"
"Catch her for me." The leader was furious, and there was still a fish that slipped through the net. "You trash, how did you let her run up?"
"This... everyone on the ship is here." A pirate scratched his head in doubt.
The leader pointed to Xu Jinbei and they asked, "Whose daughter is that?"
Xu Jinbei was also confused, because he didn't recognize whose girl it was, maybe because he had only been on this boat for two days, so he didn't recognize everyone.
"ah!"
"Help… "
The pirates who climbed up to catch Mio were kicked into the water one by one.
The leader turned his head abruptly, staring at Mio'er with eyes wide open.
"Smelly girl, let me catch you, I will sell you to a brothel." The leader cursed loudly.
"Okay, the brothel has a lot to eat." Mio'er poked her head out and said with a smile.
She and Mingxi went to the brothel once, and thought it was quite fun there.
"Don't talk nonsense." Ming Xi said lightly, "That's not a good place."
There was another unfamiliar voice, and the leader was completely furious, "Go and catch them all."
Xu Jinbei looked at Ming Xi who appeared next to Mio'er with frowned eyebrows, he felt that this young man looked familiar.
Mingxi glanced at Xu Jinbei, jumped off the ship, and landed firmly in front of the pirate leader, "What do you want from us?"
"Stinky boy!" The big knife in the hands of the pirate leader slashed over.
"It's impossible for Shui Yichen to let there be pirates in Bailongjiang. Where did you come from?" Mingxi easily avoided the sword and asked calmly.
Good skill! Xu Jinbei was startled, this boy's martial arts seemed to be better than Yan Xiaoliu's.
He is... Xu Jinbei suddenly remembered the letter that Lin Yanbei had given him not long ago. He is Mingxi!
The pirate leader sneered, "You don't care where we come from, brat, you are not on this ship, so I advise you not to meddle in your own business."
"I don't want to worry about it, but you are blocking my way." Ming Xi waved his hand, "Do you want to leave by yourself, or should we help you?"
"Kill them!" The pirate leader didn't hit Ming Xi after more than a dozen hits, and his heart suddenly became vigilant.
Mingxi smiled, "It seems that you chose to ask me to give you a ride."
"No one will survive." The pirate leader ordered coldly.
"Mio'er, Huo'er, leave the rest to you." Ming Xi said softly, a round knife appeared in his hand.
There are quite a few people watching here, he can't use immortality skills and spiritual power to deal with pirates, so he should practice his skills.
