Hua Qingxue's heart almost stopped beating. Just now she had the slightest hope that it would be Fu Tingye who caught up with her, but she didn't expect that she had encountered a robber
"Come on! You can't hear me, can you!" Qi Liancheng was almost angry and yelled at Hua Qingxue.
"Oh, oh." Hua Qingxue realized what she was doing and hurriedly climbed and rushed into the cabin. Unexpectedly, one or two men in black noticed her and immediately gave up the siege of Qi Liancheng and chased after her.
Seeing this, Qi Liancheng frightened several people around him away with a sweep of his legs, and then rushed to catch up.
Hua Qingxue felt that she was almost exerting all her energy to feed herself, but the footsteps of the two people were getting closer and closer! It's as if you can touch your face when you turn around!
"Ah!" She finally couldn't resist the panic and fear in her heart and shouted out. The next moment, the sound of fighting came from behind, relieving her crisis.
She couldn't help but turn around and saw Qi Liancheng standing behind her, fighting hard against the two men in black. However, it was precisely because he was so eager to protect Hua Qingxue that he was negligent for a moment and his thigh was cut off. With one strike, the smell of blood immediately hits your face!
"Ah! You're hurt!" Hua Qingxue yelled, wanting to leave but couldn't bear it, and I'm afraid it's inappropriate not to leave, so she was very torn.
"Let's go!" Qi Liancheng really wanted to kneel down to her. Why was she so clever when she was in Renqiu, but now she has become so indecisive.
"Hey, hey." Hua Qingxue finally stopped looking at him and turned around to enter the cabin. She suddenly found that the cabin was brightly lit, and several people were pushing and shouting more confused than she was.
"I just told you not to leave the ship. This period is close to the end of the year. The bandits are very powerful, but you just don't listen. Isn't this... what happened!" The one who complained was a middle-aged uncle with a stick in his hand. , seemed to want to go out to help, but was a little hesitant.
The woman pulling aside seemed to be his wife. She defended with red eyes and said aggrievedly: "I am not just trying to make my family feel better. This guest is so generous. Those are two gold leaves, which are worth half of our income for half a year." , Such a good deal."
It turned out to be two gold leaves.
This reward is quite a lot. It seems that Xiao Han did not hesitate to spend a lot of money in order to kidnap him.
But there was no time to think about this at the moment, so she quickly stepped forward to persuade: "Stop arguing and go help quickly. There are only five people up there. Qi Liancheng's martial arts is very good. As long as we rush out and overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum, there will be no problem." !”
She quickly encouraged them: "This boat is all your property. If it breaks, you will have to spend money to repair it, so don't let things get irreversible..."
Before he finished speaking, a sister and a brother on the side had already grabbed the guy and rushed out.
"Mom and Dad, you should stay in there, I'll go!" It was my sister who spoke. After saying this, her figure had disappeared from sight.
Hua Qingxue didn't expect that this girl, who seemed to be smaller than herself, was so brave, and she couldn't help but admire her in her heart.
"What happened?"
Deep in the cabin, the person walking slowly was Xiao Han.
The loud noise coming from here woke him up. With a sleepy face, he glanced at the surrounding situation. His eyes finally fell on Hua Qingxue and looked up and down.
Hua Qingxue was a little panicked by him, but the next moment, Xiao Han rushed out.
"This financial sponsor seems to be very capable." The boatman's wife said anxiously, "I think it should be okay, right?"
"Then I'd better go take a look. It would be nice if I could help." At this moment, the boatman finally had the courage and walked out with the stick in his hand.
Not knowing what Xiao Han's skills were, Hua Qingxue also stepped forward to join in the fun, and... In the flash of lightning, she suddenly remembered that those bandits might have boats, could she take advantage of them and sneak away
With luck, Hua Qingxue returned to the cabin and saw Xiao Han also joining the battle. Those few people had found it difficult to deal with Qi Liancheng alone, but now a man with good skills joined them. Suddenly, Immediately fell behind.
In addition, there were two crew members waiting for the opportunity, and the two little guys also cooperated very well. They only took action when they got the opportunity, hit people and then ran away, which was actually very despicable.
Several men in black were thrown to the ground by Qi Liancheng and Xiao Han several times. Just when they were overwhelmed, a stick stretched out from the car next to them and hit them with a bang. When they recovered, they went to deal with the two little bastards. At that time, Qi Liancheng and Xiao Han got entangled again.
I was really angry and angry.
"Brother Qi! Come on!"
"Brother Qi, great!"
The boatman's daughter was helping and cheering Qi Liancheng on. She was so angry that it cost her life.
Hua Qingxue watched them having fun on the other side, while she crouched to look for a way for the men in black to hijack the ship. But to her great disappointment, those people seemed to have come by swimming!
There was no sign of a small boat, not even a bamboo raft, around the entire passenger ship.
This... this is so disappointing.
"Great! Brother Qi beat them all away!" The crew member's daughter cheered happily.
Hua Qingxue followed the sound and looked over. Two of the men in black were lying on the ground dying after being beaten by them. The others jumped into the river with a few splashes and escaped.
Xiao Han clapped his hands and asked Qi Liancheng to deal with the aftermath. The first thing he did when he got out was to return to the cabin to see if Hua Qingxue was still there.
That little fox, he didn't trust that she would be safe and sound.
Sure enough, there was no one in the cabin. He suddenly rushed out and found Hua Qingxue on the deck at the other end.
"So you are here?" Xiao Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Qingxue looked at the blood stains on his clothes and was slightly surprised: "You...are injured?"
"It's a small injury, nothing to worry about." Xiao Han rubbed his fists cheerfully: "These people are really considerate. They know that I haven't moved my tibia for a long time, so they came to practice with me."
… He becomes narcissistic when he disagrees.
I hate the cold, okay
The little good impression Hua Qingxue had had suddenly disappeared, and she looked at him with contempt.
"Haha." Xiao Han immediately laughed. For some reason, seeing Hua Qingxue's faintly angry look felt very cordial.
Even he himself doesn't quite understand his mentality. Is it the legendary... shamelessness
"Don't tell me, you came here secretly and planned to escape?" Xiao Han paused and stared at Hua Qingxue with piercing eyes.
That kind of look seems to be looking straight into a person's soul, making people afraid to lie.
"..." Hua Qingxue's mouth twitched.
This person is really speechless as always.
"Do you think a sick and helpless woman can escape from this raging river full of bandits?"
"That's right." Xiao Han nodded, and then looked away from Hua Qingxue's face: "Once we reach the shore, I will ask Qi Liancheng to get you some medicine. The waterway will be there for the past two days, so I can only That’s it.”
waterway? ! Two days!
Hua Qingxue keenly captured the key point of this sentence: "You are not planning to dock at Jianmen, are you?"
After all, she had been in this world for almost a year, and she still knew a little bit about the general topography of the entire Qi State. Besides, Fu Tingye had walked this waterway once before, and there were many ferry cities along the way.
In Hua Qingxue's impression, Daliao is in the southwest of Qi State. There is a river passing between the two countries, and that river has a ferry at Jianmen. Jianmen has a steep terrain and is surrounded by rivers on three sides. Since ancient times, It is an important transportation hub for Qi State to travel to other countries.
And the end of the river under their feet happens to be Jianmen.
"It is indeed the fastest route from here to Jianmen, and then from Jianmen to Sishui, the border of Daliao, but... everyone wants to get this route, and Fu Tingye will not be surprised." Hua Qingxue said lightly. .
Her analysis was indeed reasonable. Judging from the terrain, this was the fastest route to the Liao Kingdom.
Fu Tingye must have guessed, so if he catches up along this road, he will definitely wait and wait.
Xiao Han's eyebrows moved, but he didn't care at all: "I know he wants it, but it doesn't matter, who told me to spend half a day longer than him
These words... are really choking.
It’s obviously irrefutable!
Yes, Fu Tingye was delayed for half a day by his smoke bomb, and now he was chasing by water. In their era, there was no such thing as a turbine engine. All shipping relied on the speed of water flow, so this half day was very long. precious.
The hands she placed on the railing subconsciously clenched as she spoke, and her finger bones turned white, betraying her state of mind.
Xiao Han's eyes only glanced over it lightly, but did not expose it.
"Go in, you have to be mentally alert to plan your escape, right?" Xiao Han persuaded him lightly with a smile.
Hua Qingxue was very disgusted with him acting like this, as if she was facing a person with a separate personality, but she still nodded, turned around and walked towards the cabin.
When they met, they saw Qi Liancheng, who was walking a little stiffly, walking towards him, but there was an oil bottle closely behind him
"Brother Qi, you are injured, why don't you let me bandage you?" It was the boatman's daughter, following Qi Liancheng closely, her face full of worry and sorrow.
Qi Liancheng seemed a little impatient with her: "I'm fine! Don't follow me!"
The girl's face froze for a moment, but she was not frustrated: "But Brother Qi, I mean well, and I am good at bandaging. When we met bandits before, I bandaged my father after he was injured. You have to believe it." I… "
Before the little girl could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a burst of scolding from behind.
"Yulian! Your father is injured. If you don't come here and take care of it, they don't need your help. It's useless for you to pester them!" It was the boatman's wife, who seemed to be very disappointed with her unfulfilled daughter: "How can any girl be as proactive as you! It's really an embarrassment to us!"
It turns out that this cute girl is named Yulian.
Hua Qingxue remembered that when the incident happened, she and her brother were the first to rush out to help.
I couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade her: "Auntie! Your daughter is so cute. She doesn't take the initiative. She is clearly enthusiastic, right, Yulian."
