Chapter 2021 Blocking the Road
Although Mingxi and the others had a similar journey to Ye Zhen, they didn't want to take the waterway, so they separated soon after leaving Shajiucheng. Along the way to Tianjin City, the three of them were like wild horses running wild, having a great time. .
All the way to Bailongjiang, Mingxi bought a small boat and crossed the Bailongjiang. That was the boundary of Jin Kingdom.
The sun was setting in the west, and there was only their small boat floating on the river. The moonlight was reflected on the water, and the light was shining, which had a unique charm.
When we got to the river, we discovered that there were several ships in front of us, and one of them was a large ship surrounded. It looked a little bad. They were a little far away, and it was dark, so the other party didn't notice them.
Their small boat had no lights, and no one could see it as it approached the larger boat with the current.
"It seems something happened to the ship over there." Huohuang sat on the deck and looked at the big ship in the river, "Mingxi, is that an official ship?"
Mingxi raised his eyebrows, "It seems so."
"Should we go and have a look?" Mei'er asked enthusiastically. She found everything about the Moon World Continent interesting.
"Don't meddle in other people's business, maybe you want to kill people and set fire." Mingxi said lightly. If it was an official ship, it would be even more troublesome. It might be an official ship of the Yuan Kingdom. He didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the Yuan Kingdom.
Huohuang and Miao'er were a little disappointed.
Their ship slowly passed by those ships, and they saw several people tied up on the deck of the big ship, and the ships surrounding the big ship looked like pirate ships.
Are there actually pirates on the Bailong River?
"That person looks a bit familiar..." Mingxi looked at a young man on the deck and searched for this person's existence in his memory.
"Is he your friend?" Huohuang asked excitedly.
Mingxi frowned, "That's right."
Xu Jinbei! How could his former companion meet pirates here?
"Then do you want to help?" Mi'er asked.
"Go and see what's going on." Mingxi nodded lightly. Since it was Xu Jinbei on the ship, he had no reason to turn a blind eye.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huohuang and Mier had disappeared in an instant.
"..." Such speed!
The person held hostage on the ship was indeed Xu Jinbei. In addition to him, there were also bachelors from the Jinguo Imperial Academy and other officials.
Xu Jinbei was not on the ship originally. He just happened to meet his grandfather's former student and was invited to board the ship. He did not expect to encounter pirates on the Bailong River.
Bailongjiang has not heard of pirates for many years. So many people suddenly appeared, and everyone seemed to be vicious. Xu Jinbei felt that it was not just pirates, but there were mostly weak scholars on the ship. Even if he had the ability to resist, he would not be able to resist. If you jump into a river to escape, whether you can reach the shore smoothly after escaping is also a question.
How should he let everyone in this boat survive?
"Take away all the gold and silver treasures, and take away the women as well." The pirate leader stood on the deck with a broadsword in hand and ordered his subordinates.
"You are just asking for money, why are you taking people away?" Xu Jinbei frowned and asked in a deep voice.
The women on this ship are all wealthy ladies, and they are preparing to participate in the talent show in Kyoto City. If they are taken away by pirates, even if they can be rescued in the future, their reputations will be completely ruined.
"What I want is a woman." There was a scar on the leader's cheek, which looked terrifying. He stared straight at the cowering woman on the deck and laughed loudly, "They are all thin-skinned. The meat will keep our brothers fresh for a while."
"You... you can take whatever you want, but don't take away my daughter." The bachelor protected his daughter behind him and stared at the leader with fear and anger.
"Bring all these women on board." The leader sneered and ordered his subordinates to arrest them.
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the cabin, "It's not good if you do this. People say they will give you gold and silver, but you still want their daughter. You are too greedy."
"Who's talking?" the pirate leader clenched the knife in his hand and asked angrily.
The cabin of this ship has a total of three floors. A slender figure appeared on it. She looked down at the people on the deck, "I'm talking, I'm talking about you. You are so ugly, and you want someone to be nice to you." Tender-skinned girl, are you embarrassed?"
"Catch her." The leader was furious, and there was still a fish that slipped through the net. "You trash, how did you let her run up there?"
"This...everyone on the ship is here." A pirate scratched his head in confusion.
The leader pointed at Xu Jinbei and the others and asked, "Whose daughter is that?"
Xu Jinbei was equally confused because he didn't recognize whose girl it was. Maybe it was because he had only been on the 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 around suddenly and stared at Mio with eyes wide open.
"Smelly girl, let me catch you, I will sell you to a brothel." The leader cursed loudly.
"Okay, there is a lot of food in the brothel." Miao'er stuck her head out and said with a smile.
She and Mingxi went to a brothel once and thought it was quite fun.
"Don't talk nonsense." Mingxi said calmly, "That's not a good place."
There was another unfamiliar voice, and the leader was completely furious now, "Go and capture them all."
Xu Jinbei frowned and looked at Mingxi who appeared next to Mi'er. He felt that this young man looked familiar.
Mingxi glanced at Xu Jinbei, jumped off the boat, and landed firmly in front of the pirate leader, "What do you want from us?"
"You brat!" The pirate leader slashed with the big knife in his hand.
"It's impossible for Shui Yichen to let pirates exist in Bailongjiang River. Where did you come from?" Mingxi asked calmly, avoiding the sword easily.
Good skill! Xu Jinbei was shocked. This young man's martial arts seemed to be even better than Yan Xiaoliu's.
He is... Xu Jinbei suddenly remembered the letter Lin Yanbei sent him not long ago. He is Mingxi!
The pirate leader sneered, "You don't care where we come from, you brats. You are not on this ship. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
"I don't want to care about it, but you are blocking my way." Mingxi waved his hand, "Do you want to leave by yourself, or should we give you a ride?"
"Kill them!" The pirate leader hit Mingxi more than a dozen times but failed to hit him, and he suddenly became alert.
Mingxi smiled, "It seems you chose to ask me to give you a ride."
"Leave no one alive." The pirate leader ordered coldly.
"Miao'er, Huo'er, I'll leave the rest to you." Mingxi said softly, and a round knife appeared in his hand.
There are a lot of people watching here. He can't use his immortal skills and spiritual power to deal with pirates, so he should just practice his skills.
