The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

The place where the fleet is now is in the territory of Quang Binh Province.

There are few rivers in Guangping Prefecture, so the drought will be particularly serious when it breaks out. Because of this, even if the people here become bandits, they are generally bandits, not water bandits.

After all...the people here are not good at water.

That's why Zheng Yi felt that he should be safe, but they were still in danger.

The first boat to spot the water bandits was the front boat. After they spotted the water bandits, they blew a special whistle.

It was harsh, piercing the night sky with a shrill sound, resounding above the canal, and immediately woke up all the people who were sleeping on the boat.

Jiang Zhen turned over and got up from the bed. He had heard the whistle before, knew what it meant, and knew that they were in danger.

"Brother Jin, hurry up and get dressed and go to the deck." Jiang Zhen said to Brother Zhao Jing, and then got dressed and came outside Zheng Yi's cabin in the shortest possible time.

"Young Master Zheng." Jiang Zhen called out, and as soon as he finished speaking, the cabin door was opened.

It was Zheng Yi's servant who opened the door, but Zheng Yi was still busy getting dressed at the moment. Seeing Jiang Zhen, he immediately asked, "How's it going outside?"

"I don't know the specific situation. It should be that the boat in front has spotted the water bandits." Jiang Zhen opened the window of Zheng Yi's cabin. This cabin is located above the big ship, and he can clearly see the outside situation.

Under the bright moonlight, Jiang Zhen clearly saw many dots of fire moving towards this side.

"There are too many water bandits, we are surrounded." Jiang Zhen said again.

Some shouts came from several other ships and floated into the cabin, but they were inaudible because of the strong wind.

In ancient times, communication was inconvenient, and now it was night, and even the news from a few ships before was not very convenient to transmit.

Zheng Yi felt restless for a while, but Jiang Zhen was very calm: "Young Master Zheng, I'm here to ask for orders, can you let me move freely later?"

"Free movement?" Zheng Yi asked puzzled.

"I want to leave this ship." Jiang Zhen explained.

He has no experience in commanding water battles, but he is used to taking a few people to sneak attacks.

The moonlight tonight is very good, Zheng Yi saw Jiang Zhen's expression through the moonlight, and subconsciously said: "Yes."

"I'll make arrangements right away," Jiang Zhen said, and turned out of the window.

Zheng Yi quickly came to the window, and saw that Jiang Zhen had already landed on the deck with some force.

On that deck, Jiang Zhen's people had already gathered about thirty people, neatly arranged, and as soon as Jiang Zhen went down, he kicked over a few latecomers.

Zheng Yi watched and tidied up, and finally got dressed. At this moment, Lu Da rushed over, and when he arrived, he became dissatisfied: "Then Jiang Zhen lives much closer than me, why didn't he come to protect the young master?"

The servant next to Zheng Yi gave Lu Da a complicated look: "Master Lu, Steward Jiang has already come and left again."

Lu Da's expression froze.

But at this time, Zheng Yi turned his head from the window: "Jiang Zhen and his people have all assembled on the deck."

Lu Da was suddenly embarrassed. He hurried to the window, and sure enough, he saw that Jiang Zhen's people had gathered on the deck.

It's his people... Those people who hurried out with their clothes on are not his people?

In fact, the people under Lu Da have experience and have performed very well, and soon came to their respective posts, but they were inevitably messy, and they seemed less orderly than those under Jiang Zhen.

At this moment, Jiang Zhen actually wanted Lu Da's men more than his own men. After all, none of his men had experienced water battles.

But that's all there is to it, try it out.

Fortunately... a large part of the people he recruited were thugs, and they dared to fight anyway.

Jiang Zhen called out a few names, and quickly called out seven or eight people, all of whom were good at swimming: "You all go into the water with me, and the others stay behind, under the command of Brother Zhao Jin!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison. If they don't listen to Jiang Zhen's words, there will be serious consequences. They are already used to listening to Jiang Zhen's words.

"Brother Zhao Jin, protect Young Master Zheng!" Jiang Zhen glanced at Brother Zhao Jin, asking Zhao Jin Ge to protect Young Master Zheng was to let Brother Zhao Jin be closer to Zheng Yi, and that place was the safest place.

"Yes!" Brother Zhao Jin replied, he actually wanted to follow Jiang Zhen, but at this time, if he didn't listen to Jiang Zhen, he would only cause trouble for Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen glanced at Brother Zhao Jin, and then at the He Brothers. Before many people could react and the water bandits hadn't approached, he led his men into the water quietly.

Those water bandits are getting closer and closer to them!So densely packed, everyone could actually see hundreds of ships!

Most of these ships were not big, and their speed was very fast. They approached very quickly, not only encircling the Zheng family's fleet, but also dividing the five large ships of the Zheng family.

"Which brother is here?" Lu Da stood up and shouted loudly.

Many water bandits and bandits will not kill all the caravans, as long as they say hello to them and pay the toll, they will let them go. After all, if they really want to kill all the merchants, they will have no "business" in the future. up.

Therefore, the first plan of Lu Da and Zheng Yi after encountering this situation was to discuss with others.

After Lu Da made his voice, soon, someone on a relatively large ship not far away also shouted: "You don't have to make friends with us anymore. Our boss said that if you are more sensible, take the ship and cargo If you stay here, we will let you live, if not... don't blame us if you die without a place to die."

Lu Da was startled, and said again: "I'll count to ten, and we'll start!"

Count to ten and then strike... The other party has no intention of discussing with them at all, this is a made up mind to grab it by force!

Zheng Yi also encountered danger when he went out to do business, but now... Seeing more and more small boats around him, he couldn't help but turn pale.

"Master?" Lu Da looked at Zheng Yi.

"Be alert! Prepare to fight!" Zheng Yi said.

In his fleet, the other ships are mainly loaded with food and cloth, and if they are lost, they will be lost. The cards on the main ship are treasures that he wants to use to make a fortune, and he must not lose them.

Moreover, in the current situation, even if he didn't want anything, those water bandits might not let them go.

I don't know why these water bandits behaved like this this time...

Zheng Yi couldn't understand why these water bandits were unwilling to negotiate peace, but Jiang Zhen already knew the reason now.

When he led people into the water, the water bandits hadn't approached, so no one noticed that he had gone into the water. It was precisely because of this that he was able to lead people quietly close to the boats of the water bandits.

Of course, this is also due to the dark sky and his adequate preparation.

During the more than 20 days when Jiang Zhen wandered around Hecheng County, he took many people into the water. Before coming out this time, he made a lot of preparations.

At this moment, everyone who entered the water had a thin bamboo pole that allowed them to breathe underwater, and each of them was tied with a thin string to be led by him to ensure that they would not go the wrong way...

Jiang Zhen slowly emerged from the water next to the hull, just in time to hear the water bandits discussing this operation.

"Those five boats look really nice."

"That's why the boss will take a fancy to it."

"With these five ships, we will be able to do bigger business in the future!"

"These boats are said to be full of food, and everyone doesn't have to go hungry."

……

It turns out that these water bandits have been entrenched in this water area for a long time, their number is increasing and their strength is getting stronger and stronger, so they want to get a few big ships, so they disagree with Zheng Yi's request to give them a little toll , intending to wipe out Zheng Yi's fleet.

They also knew that it was impossible for such a caravan to agree to give them all the ship and goods, and then leave, so there was no intention of negotiating at all, and they had already made up their minds to do it.

"One, two, three... eight, nine, ten!" The water bandits counted to ten quickly, and before he finished counting, the water bandits had already started to attack.

These water bandits spoke in dialect, and while yelling words that the people in the Zheng family's fleet could not understand, they began to shoot arrows at the big ship, and then climbed onto the ship.

Their bows and arrows are actually of poor quality, and their archery skills are also poor, but even so, the people on board still need to avoid them.

"Continue to sail and strive to break through!" Zheng Yi said.

"Young master, they can't break out, they've tampered with the river." Lu Dao said, the river in front has been filled in for a section, and as for the back...there are too many boats behind them.

Zheng Yi's face was livid.

Through the moonlight, Zheng Yi could see that the small boats near the big boat were full of people, those people were looking at them greedily, their eyes shining brightly in the dark night.

"Can we escape?" Zheng Yi asked.

Lu Da paused for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, young master, we will definitely protect you and break through!"

This is only to protect oneself to break through?Zheng Yi's face was a bit ugly, but looking at the huge number of water bandits outside, he had to admit that his ship and cargo might really have to be accounted for here.

"Grab food!"

"Kill those profiteers!"

"Kill a person and get ten taels of silver, go!"

……

The water bandits yelled that someone had already climbed onto the boat.

It is true that most of the people in Quang Binh Mansion do not understand water skills, but water skills can be practiced.

After the drought in Quang Binh Prefecture last year, some people came here to become water bandits. At first they only robbed some boats, but later a very capable person came out and gathered all the water bandits in this area together so that they could rob The big boat is getting better and better.

"Master, you hide behind." Lu Dao Dao, after letting Zheng Yi hide, was about to direct the battle, when he found that someone had already fought those water bandits.

Zhao Jinge led Jiang Zhen's men, each holding a bamboo pole, and stood by the side of the boat. The water bandits would poke them down with their bamboo poles as soon as they emerged.

The sharpened bamboo pole was even easier to use than a big knife at this time.

As for the bows and arrows shot by those water bandits... Those people did not know where to get some wooden tables and chairs, but they could cover the head, face and chest.

They were a group of three, two of them held bamboo poles and the other held a shield, and they stabbed many water bandits down.

Those bandits who fell screamed in pain, and after falling, they were still holding down their own people. For a while, no one dared to climb up from there.

"Lu Da, learn!" Zheng Yi said.

Lu Da responded, and looked over aggrievedly, and suddenly found that the person in charge over there was Zhao Jinge, but Jiang Zhen didn't know where he went.

He was a little puzzled, but at this moment, he had no time to think about Jiang Zhen's question.

The two sides officially handed over.

For those who have experienced modern warfare, some aspects of this ancient warfare are very funny, for example... Sometimes if you are not careful, you may cut off your companions because you did not recognize your own.

But the war at this time was also very cruel.

It didn't take long for the two sides to fight, and there were casualties. The main ship where Zheng Yi was on had not yet been boarded by water bandits, but water bandits had already climbed up on the other ships.

Several crew members on the nearby boat wanted to run away, but they were cut down by the water bandits with a knife.

And in this era of backward medical treatment, even if someone just cuts a knife in the arm, he may die.

The screams were endless, and Jiang Zhen's brows became more and more tight. He pulled the rope in his hand and led those who followed him to move forward.

At this time, on several large ships, the fighting situation has become more and more intense.

There are a lot of water bandits, and they are all people who can't live on. They don't take their lives seriously, and they are just filling their lives with them.

Although there were many guards on the main ship, the water bandits climbed aboard due to a carelessness.

Seeing this, Brother Zhao Jing held the bamboo pole tightly, and rushed up with the He brothers.

It didn't feel real when I poked those water bandits down with a bamboo pole by the side of the boat before, but now...

Brother Zhao Jin pulled out the bamboo pole in his hand from a water bandit, smelling the strong smell of blood, he suddenly felt like gagging.

he killed...

Brother Zhao Jin had never thought before that he could kill people. He was stunned for a moment, but soon he came to his senses.

Jiang Zhen didn't know where he went, and he had to wait for Jiang Zhen to come back, and... at this time, either you will die or I will die.

Brother Zhao Jin glanced around and found that many people were as stunned as he was, and immediately said: "Cheer up and kill these people!"

"Kill it!" Everyone responded together.

By this time, they had no time to think about anything else, they just wanted to kill all these people in front of them.

But there were too many water bandits, dozens of people had even climbed up on the main ship.

Zheng Yi looked at the water bandits, and finally decided to cut off his wrists: "Lu Da, release the boat and send me away."

"Yes, young master!" Lu Da responded, and hurried to make arrangements.

Zheng Yi was guarded, and soon came to the deck, and saw Brother Zhao Jin: "Brother Zhao Jin, let's retreat!"

Zheng Yi didn't know where Jiang Zhen went, but he just saw the bravery of Zhao Jinge and the people he brought, and because Zhao Jinge was a twin, he wanted them to retreat with him.

Zhao Jinge was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Young Master Zheng, I'm done."

"Go!" Zheng Yi frowned.

"Young Master Zheng, I'm going to wait for Jiang Zhen." Zhao Jinge said, he didn't know where Jiang Zhen went, but Jiang Zhen definitely didn't run away, so he had to wait here.

A bamboo pole knocked over a water bandit, Zhao Jinge's face was full of determination.

Zheng Yi was taken aback, suddenly envious of Jiang Zhen.His wife would never be able to do what Zhao Jinge did.

At this time, there wasn't much time to delay, Zheng Yi was about to ignore Brother Zhao Jin and lead the people back, when suddenly the exclamation of water bandits sounded in the distance.

At the same time, the biggest ship for the water bandits suddenly caught fire, and the shouts of the water bandits became more and more mournful.

That was the boat where the leader of the water bandits was. Before, there were people on that boat who had been driving those water bandits to attack the Zheng family's fleet, but now... the boat was in chaos, and some people shouted for the leader.

What's going on here?

Zheng Yi stopped running away, and at the same time, Jiang Zhen tied up the leader of the water bandit.

Shoot people first, shoot horses, capture thieves first capture kings!
