Shen Ruoyan came over with the maid, "There are water bandits..."
The people who came back this time were partly to protect Shen Xingwan, and partly to train them.
Therefore, exploring the path along the way is also their duty as secret guards.
"Who can think so hard and be so brave that they dare to attack the royal ship?" Shen Xingwan guessed, clicking her tongue twice.
She was not nervous at all. Even if the sky fell, the princess was there to support her.
Isn't it said that she is the emperor's favorite daughter? She must have the capital and confidence.
The noise became louder and louder, and everyone on board became alert and commotion.
Shen Xingwan and Shen Ruoyan stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the river, one calmer than the other.
"You go in and accompany the old lady, don't let her be frightened." Shen Xingwan said to Shen Ruoyan.
Shen Ruoyan said softly, "Only a thousand-year-old fox will not scare me."
Shen Xingwan looked at Shen Ruoyan helplessly. Ever since she went out for training, she had become more and more free.
Soon, the big boat Princess Qinghe was riding on lit up the lights, and the boats behind them also lit up lights, and the entire river was illuminated into daylight.
"There are thieves on board, everyone be on guard!"
Three thousand Yulin troops approached the princess's ship instantly and started fighting with the water bandits.
"There is something in the water!" Shen Ruoyan said looking at the water.
After a while, the bandit dressed in black emerged from the water, grabbed the iron hook and began to climb onto the boat.
Dozens of small boats quickly approached from all directions and surrounded their boat on the river.
"Ruoyan, go in and protect the old lady." Shen Xingwan's expression changed, and he glanced at the water bandit's boat, "If the other party uses fire attacks, find a way to take the old lady and retreat first."
Shen Ruoyan also became nervous, acknowledged it, and turned around to go to the old lady's room.
Fortunately, the identity of the person who went to Beijing this time was important, and both the Shen Mansion and the Shen Family Anbu sent out elite security forces.
Xiao Wuji appeared beside her silently, waiting for her order.
Now is the time to test Shen Xingwan. As a young person in power, she needs to show her strength.
Shen Xingwan listened to the sound of fighting in the distance and said, "Strike first to gain the upper hand. Lead a counterattack. It's enough to have Shen's guards on board."
"Isn't it too risky? After all, the Yulin Army and the princess are in front of us." Xiao Wuji said.
Shen Xingwan pointed to the conspicuous torch on the bandit's boat, "What I mean is to strike first and be stronger, and don't give the opponent a chance to attack with fire. This is on the water. Once the fire attack happens, it is difficult to control it."
"We have an old lady here who can't afford to gamble. The frontal battlefield is carried by the Yulin Army. What you have to do is to find the other party's ship that performs fire attacks, and then destroy it!"
Xiao Wuji instantly understood Shen Xingwan's worries and immediately led people to carry out the order.
Shen Xingwan stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the overall situation. The fight was not terrible. The three thousand Yulin army was not a vegetarian.
As a modern person, I have seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What I fear when fighting on water is fire attack.
If the water bandits dare to take action, they must be well prepared.
The fight became more and more intense, and the bandits used claw-like iron locks to force them to board the ship, and several ships were forced to ram inside.
Fortunately, this time the leader of the Yulin Army was obviously not just a jobber, but someone with some real skills. He calmly directed his subordinates to deal with it.
I accidentally caught a glimpse of Shen Xingwan standing on the bow of the boat and was stunned for a moment.
I wonder if this girl is so frightened that she is still standing on the bow of the boat in such danger.
He was not the only one who noticed Shen Xingwan.
The two sides fought fiercely in this water area and reached a stalemate.
The Shen Mansion's boat came close to the Princess Mansion's boat, so close that you could almost jump across the distance in one step.
After being unable to attack for a long time, the water bandits were obviously in a hurry.
The longer it takes, the worse it will be for them. It would be bad if such a big movement attracts nearby officials.
Sure enough, when the wind picked up in the middle of the night, the opponent launched a fire attack, and the ignited straw boat headed straight towards this side.
The second master who was in charge of the battle on the Shen Mansion ship immediately sent people out of the boat to prevent the fire ship from approaching.
"Miss!" Dongqing drew the sword from her waist and approached her.
Shen Xingwan was relatively calm, as long as he didn't go as far as throwing fireballs.
With this wind, once the water bandits throw fireballs at their ship, they will have no choice but to abandon the ship.
With the old lady here, this is definitely the worst situation. I hope Xiao Wuji can act quickly enough.
Several ships forced their way in, and a barrage of bows and arrows and thrown spears struck.
"Everyone, please avoid!" the leader of the Yulin Army shouted loudly.
"Girl, squat down quickly!" Dongqing stretched out her hand to pull Shen Xingwan, but nothing happened.
Shen Xingwan was about to squat down when he was suddenly grabbed and pulled aside, "Girl, be careful."
Nice voice, light woody scent.
Shen Xingwan ran into a warm embrace. She maintained her last sanity and controlled the hand that drew the knife.
He looked up and met a pair of beautiful dark eyes.
Cold and broken, with a jade-like face.
Shen Xingwan was stunned, this was so beautiful!
The noise of fighting outside became distant at this moment.
Yan Ling was very satisfied with her reaction. He held her in his arms and said softly, "Don't be afraid."
Shen Xingwan and Dongqing looked at each other with eyes full of words: Is he okay...
If it pops out somewhere, just pick it up and hug it.
Shen Xingwan poked his arm, "Can you let me go first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a thief capsized on the boat.
Just as Dongqing was about to take action, a white bone fan hit the thief's throat accurately, sealing his throat with blood.
The fan returned to Yan Ling's hand.
Yan Ling stood up, hugging Shen Xingwan with one hand and holding a fan in the other. Combined with her peerless appearance, it was simply captivating.
It's a pity that the only one who appreciated this scene, Dongqing rolled her eyes in displeasure, was beaten to the punch.
Shen Xingwan only had one thought in his mind, where did he get this crazy thing from?
The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment. Yan Ling, who always relied on her beauty to succeed, lowered her head and looked at Shen Xingwan expectantly.
Shen Xingwan blinked and smiled politely, "Who are you?"
"I am…"
A sharp arrow flew towards him, and Shen Xingwan could just see it from the angle he was standing at.
He quickly pushed Yan Ling to avoid the sharp arrow.
After more than half a year of outdoor training, Shen Xingwan became much stronger, and the beauty was pushed directly into the boat by him.
He covered his waist and turned pale.
Yan Bei broke into a cold sweat because of the pain. Why does a girl have such strong hands!?
"Are you okay?" Shen Xingwan squatted in front of him and looked at him innocently.
Yan Ling put away the emotions in her eyes, raised her head and said with red eyes, "My waist is hurt."
"Who asked you to jump out of nowhere and meddle in other people's business..."
Shen Xingwan accidentally said what was in his heart.
Yan Ling's eyes turned cold...
"No, I mean I didn't mean it, I just wanted to save you with good intentions."
Shen Xingwan smiled and quickly changed his tune.
"I came here to protect you on the order of the princess." Yan Ling lowered her eyes and said.
