As soon as the ship's boss finished speaking, he hugged the mast and climbed up. When Huo Xi saw this, he didn't have time to look, so he handed him the binoculars.
He hugged the mast and climbed to the crow's nest at the top of the mast.
"The owner of the ship is a water pirate! He is fighting with a merchant ship. There are about twenty water pirates who have boarded the merchant ship!"
When Lei Da heard this, he made a gesture to the bodyguard on the ship and the five bodyguards on the other ship. The ten bodyguards immediately ran to the bow of the ship and stood ready.
Huo Xi also asked Shen Qianzhong and a group of sailors to help bring the cannon from the cabin to the deck.
Then he took two girls to the cabin and hid the valuables under the cabin board. The gold, silver and silver notes were wrapped in oilcloth and carried close to the body. If he had to jump off the ship and drift with the water, he would not be caught if he had money. trapped.
He gave some broken silver to the two girls to carry. Seeing the calm look on Xianghua's face, Xia He's hands and feet were trembling.
He comforted her with a few words: "Do you know how to swim?"
Xia He shook his head.
"Then you will follow me closely."
"Girl, let Xia He follow me. I have strong strength and good water skills."
Huo Xi nodded in agreement.
When they got to the deck, they saw that Shen Qianzhong and others were on the deck and were being ordered around by the boss of the ship. Huo Xi looked at it from the side and saw that the boss of the ship was very organized. Then he looked at the ten escorts holding big swords, who looked very serious. He looks like he can fight, and his heart is calm.
I decided to trust Mu Yan once. This was my first time doing business, so I couldn't let my brand be ruined.
"Shipowner, do we want to turn around?" The boss of the ship arranged the manpower and went to Huo Xi and asked.
Huo Xi raised his head and asked Xiaoshou, who had climbed up the mast, how the battle was going ahead.
"There are a lot of people on that merchant ship, and they seem to be quite capable of fighting."
When Huo Xi heard this, she said don't turn around, but don't go forward either. Check the situation.
After a while, Lei Da ran over from the bow of the boat and asked Xiao Shou for the telescope. Xiao Shou threw the telescope down.
Lei Da caught it, put it in front of his eyes, and looked forward.
"There are twenty-three water pirates, and there is one more on the fast boat. There are many guards on the merchant ship, and no escort flags are posted."
After Lei Da finished speaking, he thought that the guards on the merchant ship could still resist for a while, when he saw a water thief holding a big knife and slashing at a sack. When the bag was broken, white things poured out.
Lei cursed the thief: "It's rice. The water thief cut open the rice bag!" He gritted his teeth in anger.
He came from hard times, and if his family hadn't been poor and couldn't support him, he wouldn't have secretly joined the army just to have food to eat.
Now I see that the water thief has cut open the rice bag, which makes me feel distressed. I wish I could fly over immediately.
But the ship owner didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to move. His mission was to protect the ship owner and the cargo on the two ships.
When Huo Xi heard that it was a grain transport ship, she felt very distressed.
"If we go over and help, can you do it?"
"Okay!" Lei Da nodded fiercely.
The boss of the ship disagreed: "Your mission is to protect the safety of our ship owner and the cargo on the two ships, not to act bravely."
As the boss of the ship, he failed to protect the ship, was fired by the ship owner, and then everyone in the industry knew about it. How could he and the other sailors still find work?
Shen Qianzhong also felt that he should not take risks: "My boss, let's take a look first. If the situation is really critical, we can go there."
Lei Da pursed his lips.
Huo Xi, like Lei Da, wants to go forward and support. She has been taught to act bravely when it comes to justice and not to be ignorant when picking up gold.
Moreover, Guangfengshui also does business through waterways, and they treat others as such. If Guangfengshui's boats encounter water thieves in the future, others will just watch with cold eyes, which will make her feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, these water thieves are so rampant that they should unite with the boatmen to severely suppress their arrogance. Otherwise, if they succeed again and again, the waterway will never be peaceful.
In the future, most of the money earned may be used to pay for escorts. Who dares to do business easily!
But he had to listen to the boss of the ship and ignore the lives of the people on the ship.
Seeing Lei Da, he put down the telescope in his hand angrily and reached out to take it. When he saw it, he screamed in his heart, how could he still fight? He was obviously at a disadvantage!
Several sacks on the ship were cut open, revealing the goods inside, which further aroused the eyes of the water thieves to glow green, and they became even more ruthless.
Seeing the water thief slashing at a guard, causing blood to fly, Huo Xi's heart trembled, and he couldn't wait to die without saving him!
Taking another closer look, ah, there are still two acquaintances!
He hurriedly handed the binoculars to Lei Da: "There are people I know on that boat! We can't just watch anymore. Come and see if you can save it, and see if your people can fight, quickly!"
When Lei Da heard this, he quickly picked it up and took a look. He saw that people on both sides had fallen into the water, and some were lying on the deck, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
His eyes were firm: "Yes, we can save!"
"Hurry, come over quickly!" Huo Xi urged the captain of the ship as soon as he heard this.
Upon hearing Huo Xi's instructions, the ship's boss had no choice but to ask his son at the helm to dock the ship.
But Lei Da stopped him: "The owner of the ship will stay on this ship. Let's get on that ship and let that ship pass by."
When Shen Qianzhong heard this, he nodded repeatedly. If he wanted to save someone, he still had to ensure the safety of his employer.
As soon as the two ships approached, Lei Da and others each held a number of cannons, jumped onto the other ship, and approached the fighting place ahead.
Huo Xi's ship didn't move, and he watched what was happening in front of him, neither far nor near. The boss of the ship meant that if the situation ahead was not good, he should turn around and sail away immediately. Saving a ship is a good thing.
Huo Xi waited anxiously on the deck, and the telescope was taken over by Xiaoshou again. Huo Xi looked up from time to time and asked him about the situation ahead.
After waiting for another half an hour, Xiaoshou said in surprise: "Master Lei escort has settled the matter and asked us to come over!"
When Huo Xi heard this, she was overjoyed and asked the boat boss to pull the boat over.
The captain and his men over there were seriously injured, and the young captain was also stabbed. He was thanking Lei Da and others, standing on the deck, waiting for Lei Da's employer to come over and thank him.
Seeing the boat approaching, I raised my eyes and looked over. When I saw it, my eyes straightened.
"Good brother!"
Huo Xi rolled his eyes, looking as blind as ever.
Just after he finished complaining, he saw that he had let Lei Da carry him and fly over.
Seeing Huo Xi, he rushed over: "Brother Xian! I almost lost sight of you. Brother Xian saved my life from now on. From now on, I will work as a horse for Xian brother..."
Huo Xi looked disgusted and pushed him away: "There's no need to act like a cow or a horse. I owed you a favor before, and I'll pay it back this time."
Gong Ziyi glared at her: "Is my brother's life so worthless?"
Huo Xi ignored him and glanced at him: "How injured are you? What are the casualties?"
After looking at the Gong family's boat again, Li Neng glanced at her, bowed his hands to her gratefully, turned around and went to deal with the matter.
Thanks to meeting the young master, his sworn brother, otherwise things would have been difficult. If something happened to the young master, the head of the family would not let him go.
When Gong Ziyi heard Huo Xi ask him about the casualties, he fainted: "Several people died."
