Chapter 607 Southbound (4)

Just as Xu Gan said to Xu Le, seasickness is not a stubborn disease that cannot be overcome. Even a land duck who has never been on a boat in his life can withstand the hard work and withstand the pain of vomiting, and after a few troubles, it can overcome seasickness. The so-called "south ships and north horses" are certainly inferior to those of the southerners, but they are not as good as those of the southerners, but they are not able to overcome the water. Otherwise, in the past battles of heroes, how could they win with the north and the south? What's more, it's not a concession now. Han asked to fight with people on the boat, but simply overcoming seasickness, the difficulty would be even more discounted.

The two of them are still a little uncomfortable with the bumps on the water, but they are no longer as vomiting as they were at the beginning and it is difficult to act normally. As long as they are not allowed to fight with others, there is no big problem in living on the boat like ordinary people. Han Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, Bu Li had a gloomy face, and his face was full of the words "unhappy". The reason is also very simple. She finally found an opportunity to walk with Xu Le Qianli, but never expected that she was like this now.

Xu Le didn't comfort her, but let her only want to pass the pass, but she put her mind on guarding against the water bandits. Now that Guanzhong is now settled, the war in the Central Plains is in full swing, and the Wagang Army and the Sui Army repeatedly tug-of-war in the Dongdu area, killing the sky and the earth. It is said that Li Mi himself was almost killed by a group of arrows. The tragic situation of the war can be seen. Such chaos is the most likely to breed bandits. Not only are there loud horses and strong men hidden in the mountains and forests, but also on the water is not safe. The news of Xu Le's ship is full of wealth and goods, and I don't know how to leak it out. I have encountered two groups of bandits along the way.

These two thieves were not strong, but a few small boats carried dozens of outlaws. Most of their weapons were sticks, few swords, and no crossbows. Without Xu Le’s action, Xiao Liu stood at the bow and shot a few people and shot them to scare the thieves to death. The sailors on the ship were also powerful and had weapons. When they encountered bandits, they would come out to fight with sword spears, and easily killed the two bandits and fled in scattered areas.

However, Xu Le's mind did not relax because of this, but became more and more vigilant. The sailors on the ship were used to walking this road, and the owner of the proprietor was even more skillful and perfunctory to the thieves along the way. Whether it was for the proprietor's friendship or the backing behind him, or they were afraid of the force of these sailors themselves, the bandits along the way would basically not make the idea of ​​this merchant ship.

Although the boss has changed, these thieves are not aware of it and should not be treated differently. Although the two thieves are hungry people who cannot survive and have to take risks, not those powerful bandits, and may not know the foundation of the merchant ship. However, in Xu Le's view, this is still unusual. Even if the sailors think it is a trivial matter, and even regard the two fights as a pleasure on the journey, Xu Le still cannot rest assured.

However, the ship is not as good as land, and these sailors are not members of the Xuanjia Cavalry. No matter how much they respect him, they cannot completely obey Xu Le's arrangements. Even if Xu Le uses force to coerce these people to obey orders, it is useless. After all, these people are just sailors, and they neither understand the military formation nor have they ever fought. Even if Xu Le has magical means, it is impossible for them to be transformed into war-capable soldiers in such a short time.

Therefore, he could only call the Han brothers and Bu Li to the side and whisper: "Look for some wooden basins and other objects on the boat. If something goes wrong in the middle of the boat, hold these things tightly so that you can float on the water for a while. Especially Han Da, you have to deliberately find some decent wood, otherwise you will be tall and have an iron shield, which will be bad."

Han Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry, Le Langjun, I have a sense of responsibility. But I think this ship will not sink, right? I think this ship is not much smaller than a warship. When I seized the ferry in Pujin, those ships may not be as good as ours. Even if dozens of people came to chisel, it would not be easy to chisel for a while. Unless the warships of officers and soldiers were beaten with poles..."

Speaking of this, Han Yue couldn't help but smile: "I said this badly. Where did the siege get the warship? There was nowhere to find a pole!"

Han Xiaoliudao: "What if it were the navy of the Sui army?"

Han Yue glared at his brother: "Where are you thinking about this? If it were a navy, we just need to tell our identity, which saved a lot of trouble. Besides, you don't think about it. Now the Sui army has no navy Hengjiang? What are you afraid of if he does?"

Han Xiaoliu also understood and smiled awkwardly: "I was thinking about it badly. The Sui army's navy was divided into pieces, and the rest were guarding the canal and would not deal with us."

Xu Le didn't say a word but concentrated on his mind. He had said what he should have said, and it was useless to remind him again. Compared to whether he would meet a navy, he was more concerned about another thing now, which is the origin of these bandits and what is the purpose? In theory, even if his group of people died, they should die in Jiangdu. Let Yang Guang be accused of killing him. Killing himself on the river was equivalent to helping Yang Guang, which was not much helpful to Li Yuan.

It would also be unreasonable to say that Yang Guang sent someone to kill him. This emperor was cruel and fond of merit, and hiring bandits to kill people was not his style. Then why did these two bandits attract him? What conspiracy is hidden behind him is the key point to consider now.

The most optimistic result is naturally an accident, but Xu Le also knew that deceiving himself was useless. These two thieves were unlikely to appear out of thin air, and most of them were related to him. In fact, it was not just him. Bu Li's expression was also very nervous, his face was tightly tense, and two hundred-refined daggers that were enough to be called treasure blades were fiddling back and forth in his hands.

Xu Le knew that the little wolf girl's ability to perceive danger was far better than that of ordinary people, and it was even unreasonable in many cases. Just a simple feeling could point to good or bad luck. This ability has no reason to be said, but a ability trained in a dangerous environment, similar to the extraordinary six consciousnesses taught by his grandfather.

However, his six consciousnesses are applied to the battle formation and avoid swords, bows and arrows. The little wolf girl's ability is the spiritual sense before the battle occurs. Of course, this is not a magical power, but an innate perception. Most people may smile after hearing this, but Xu Le believes that this is not unreasonable.

He looked at Bu Li and asked, "What? I feel that the situation is wrong?"

Bu Li nodded, then shook her head. Although she was skillful, her body was very thin, and her recovery ability was naturally not comparable to a strong man like Han Yue. Although she had overcome seasickness in the past few days and gradually recovered from her health, her vitality had not yet recovered and her little face was still pale and bloodless. She was originally taciturn and her temperament, but this time she didn't speak easily, even if she communicated with Xu Le, she was mainly active.

Fortunately, Xu Le guessed her thoughts accurately, and when she saw her actions, she smiled and said, "You mean you feel that this trip will be dangerous, but I don't know when you will meet a thief, right? In fact, there is nothing to worry about. No matter where you meet, you will rely on your skills to speak. Don't look at the fact that we only have four of us, we can still kill him! "

Seeing that Xu Le was determined, the Han brothers did not dare to be careless. They followed his instructions to find some large basins or wooden boards, and prepared to survive if the ship was in danger. However, the boss of the ship was a little disdainful of the preparations of the four people. Due to Xu Le's identity, he did not dare to block them openly. He said indirectly when delivering the meal:

"Your family doesn't have to worry too much. We are used to walking this road. All the heroes on the road give their boss a little bit of shame and will not attack us. Those who attack are all fish, turtles, shrimps, and crabs that are ignorant of the world, and they can't do anything to us. There is no need for Le Langjun and his noble family to fight, even we are enough to deal with them. It was a noble person's order on your house. Xiao Tian is bold and dare not let your family suffer grievances, right?"

Xu Le listened to him following the rules of Chang'an and uttering the respect of your family. He was not very happy but couldn't scold him. He had to suppress his temper and said, "We are the few people who have prepared some things, which has not hindered your boat, right?"

"Of course there is nothing wrong with this. Your family is a hero, and he is always thinking about us, for fear of causing trouble for us. How can we not know whether it will be done at least? Your family is a military general, and marching and fighting are experts. Everything is carefully considered. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement, just to make us feel interesting. Why do you say that this is necessary? Slowly, the thieves along the way will not make any decisions. Even if someone does not care about friendship, we can make a big move. It is not a small boast. The boss has spent a lot of money on this boat. Even if the thief shoots with fire arrows, your family doesn't have to worry."

Xu Le did not go to pick up the boss's words, but asked back: "I guess the master of this road must be familiar with it, but I don't know what are the dangers along the way. Can you tell me?"

"Where is no risk to take? But don't worry, our boat is full of veterans, no matter how dangerous the waterway is, you won't be afraid."

Xu Le found that he was a little hard to talk to the boss of the ship, so he had to ask in detail, inquire about where the waterway along the way is suitable for ambushing and where it might be possible to set up ambushing. Xu Le thought that the ship owner had nothing wrong with saying that such a big ship is also a huge thing for the water bandits, and it is not easy for them to attack. The best way is to find a place to set up ambushing, sneak attacks and set fires, etc. As long as you are more careful, you are just careful.

Although Xu Le was cultivated by his grandfather since he was a child, he was still a teenager after all. He had never seen the means and power of aristocratic families. Just as he asked the boatman how to deal with the ambush, a five-toothed warship with the flag of the Sui army was rushing towards Xu Le and his group. The rusty leader on the bow of the boat pressed the handle of the knife, and the bearded man beside him carried a short spear in his hand, with his eyes full of murderous aura!
