Luoyang Brocade Chapter 48: Night Raid (3)

"Ah Shu, are we going to die here today?" Ling Xiao clenched Ling Jingshu's arm tightly, his trembling voice full of fear.

He is blind, but his ears are extremely sensitive. The sound of killings and screams coming from the ship's deck clearly reached his ears.

When encountering such a thing, not only Ling Xiao was frightened, how could Ling Jingshu not be afraid?

But she is Ling Xiao's backbone. If she panicked, Ling Xiao would panic even more.

Ling Jingshu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Since God gave her a new life, he would not take her life so easily!

"There are more than twenty highly skilled guards on this official ship, as well as nearly twenty boatmen. With them here, they will definitely be able to stop those gangsters." Ling Jingshu whispered quickly: "Besides, I have already We rushed to send out a distress signal, and someone will come to rescue us soon. We will be safe."

The calm and soft voice calmed the panicked and helpless Ling Xiao, and he whispered apologetically: "Ah Shu, it's all for me that you followed me to the capital. If something unexpected happens... ”

"There will be no accidents!" Ling Jingshu interrupted Ling Xiao decisively, her soft voice revealing firmness: "Don't scare yourself."

Such firmness and self-confidence not only infected Ling Xiao, but Bai Yu Jingyu and the other maids also became much calmer.

The candlesticks were not lit in the cabin, and it was dark.

For this reason, no one saw Ling Jingshu's strange expression at this time.

The words I just said were to appease the hearts of Ling Xiao and Bai Yu, listening to the increasingly fierce shouts of killing coming from outside. Ling Jingshu's heart sank little by little.

Obviously, the gangsters had the advantage in numbers and had the upper hand. It's just that these gangsters don't seem to have any intention of killing people and silencing them. Still fighting endlessly.

In the previous life, when Uncle Ling and his family returned to the capital, they never encountered water bandits or had any accidents on the way. Why did a bunch of gangsters with unknown origins appear at this time?

What went wrong?

This part of the river is quite secluded and desolate, and it is also late at night. Even if there are passing ships, they must have stopped and rested. I don’t know if any ships saw the distress signal and came to rescue...

If no one came to rescue, these gangsters came to kill again. How can this thin door panel withstand it?

Ling Jingshu composed herself and said: "Bai Yu, Jing Yu, you two come here. Move the wooden boxes of tables, chairs, and chairs to the back of the door with me." Although it was of little use, it was better than nothing, and I could feel it in my heart. Be a little more grounded.

Ling Xiao immediately said: "I'm here to help, too." Lest Ling Jingshu disagree, he added: "The cabin is dark. I can't see anything clearly. My ears are very sensitive. They are better than yours."

Having something to do can help you think less.

Ling Jingshu responded.

A few people groped in the dark, first moving the table, then chairs and two wooden boxes. After finishing all this, I feel a little more at ease.

Although the shouts of killing outside were still frightening, the master and servants seemed to feel a lot more at ease hiding in this dark cabin. Darkness is scary, but also gives people a sense of security hiding in the darkness.

Ling Xiao still leaned closely against Ling Jingshu. His violently beating heart calmed down a little, and he suddenly remembered an important thing: "Ah Shu. We are hiding here, what will uncle and the others do? Should we ask them to come together?"

Although there are not many people, it may not be of any use, but gathering together can always make you more courageous.

Ling Jingshu was silent for a moment, then whispered: "Uncle, they must be together at this time. If we call them, they may not come."

When a disaster approaches, the uncle and his family cannot take care of their two siblings. So far no one has called them.

Ling Xiao heard the implication of Ling Jingshu's words and was immediately speechless, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart.

"Don't blame them." Ling Jingshu's calm voice contained a hint of sadness: "I don't know what's going on outside. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to walk out of this door."

In this world, even father-son couples may not be reliable. At the critical moment of life and death, you can truly see clearly the position of others in your heart, and you can also see your weight in others' hearts.

For example, after Ling Xiao woke up, he came to find her without thinking.

Although Ling Xiao is simple and naive, he is not a child who doesn't understand things. After hearing these words, he nodded seriously: "Ah Shu, you are right. To me, you are the most important thing in the world. People. For uncle and the others, they can’t care about us siblings at this time. This is human nature, and we can’t blame them.”

Ling Jingshu had no time and no intention to praise Ling Xiao anymore.

I don’t know who was injured on the ship, and there was another shrill scream, which frightened everyone who heard it.

Then, a guard shouted loudly: "A few people have already broken in, stop them quickly..."

Some gangsters broke through the obstruction of the escorting boatmen and entered the cabin!

Ling Jingshu's heart trembled, she subconsciously clenched the dagger in her hand, and then silently hugged the trembling Ling Xiao tightly. At this point, no amount of comfort and encouragement is of any use.

The gangsters have rushed up!

......

Ten miles away on the waterway, a fleet of ships is approaching.

Tonight there is a moon and no stars, the sky is full of dark clouds and the moonlight is dim.

There are six ships in this fleet. Each ship is tall, wide and strong, far better than ordinary official ships.

The leading ship is even more exquisite and luxurious.

On the deck of every ship stood many guards with bright eyes and strong bodies. Most of these guards were holding long knives, and a smaller half were holding long bows and sharp arrows. They were looking around with vigilance and vigilance.

Roughly speaking, there are at least two hundred guards on these six ships. The weapons are excellent and the discipline is excellent.

With so many people standing on the board, there was no noise.

The ship moved swiftly and silently. On the water in the dark night, it is like a row of giant beasts hiding in the darkness, just waiting to show their sharp claws~IndoMTL.com~ to tear the enemy into pieces.

"Wang Tong, at this speed, how long will it take to reach the official ship that sent the distress signal?"

A cold and indifferent young voice sounded in the spacious and gorgeous cabin.

This young man was wearing a black brocade robe and a jade hoop on his head. He looked down at the book in his hand. He did not raise his head when he spoke, and seemed to just ask a casual question.

Wang Tong, the leader of the guards, who was standing in front of the young man, did not dare to neglect and responded hurriedly: "When we return to Your Highness, we should be within ten miles of the waterway. The ships are moving at full strength and we can arrive in a cup of tea at most."

After a pause, he then said: "It has been a while since I saw the distress signal to when I rushed over. I don't know if the people on the boat are still alive after rushing over."

The young man in black brocade robe still did not raise his head: "If they can catch up, they are lucky. If they can't catch up, they can only blame their bad luck."
