Chapter 342 Meeting a Water Thief

342 encounter water thief

Seeing the enemy approaching every step of the way, will Zhao Zhitong and the others just sit and wait?

Obviously it was impossible, Zhao Yu swung the knife in his hand directly, and dealt a blow to the servant who came down.

Although Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue's martial arts are not as good as Zhao Yu's, they have all practiced. These servants are not their opponents, so they immediately joined the battlefield.

The boatman on the side was so frightened that his life was about to die at the moment, and he shrank and hid aside, afraid that the sword would have no eyes and hurt him.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the Fei family's power to keep him safe, but he didn't expect that this son of the Fei family would actually have the dirty idea of ​​robbing the women of the people.

Really, misfortunes never come singly!

—

The fighting process didn't last long, and there was almost no suspense about the final result.

The servants of the Fei family were no match for Zhao Yu and the others, and within a few blows, they were all beaten to the ground.

Mr. Fei's face turned green when he saw that his servant was defeated. He didn't particularly want Zhao Zhitong before.

After being resisted like this, he still had the idea that he must get Zhao Zhitong.

Immediately snorted coldly: "It's really beyond your control. You dare to offend my Fei family. You don't know how to live or die. I will let you see today. If you offend me, can you still arrive in Jiangning safe and sound!"

As he spoke, he called in more servants, who must show Zhao Zhitong and the others a little color.

Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely on the boat, someone suddenly yelled: "It's not good, the water thief is here!"

As soon as these words came out, it struck the crowd like a thunderbolt.

At the same time, with a loud noise, a ship hit their ship, and the ship shook violently. With a cry of killing, a group of desperadoes climbed onto the ship where Zhao Zhitong and the others were. Everyone stopped fighting.

The eldest young master of Fei's family also started to ask his servants to go back to protect him from the attacks of water thieves.

The water thieves are much more difficult to deal with than the servants of the Fei family.

There are five water thieves in their boats. They have been making trouble on the water all year round.

They were numerous and well-trained. When Zhao Zhitong and the others were defending against water thieves, they were scattered.

Zhao Zhitong was forced to the stern deck by several water thieves.

Zhao Zhitong held a knife in his hand, and his eyes fell on his wrist. There was an ordinary bracelet there, which was a hidden weapon given to her by Wei Shulan.

Just when she found the right time and was about to shoot at the water thief, another group of people suddenly appeared on the river!

The ships collided violently, Zhao Zhitong staggered and fell directly from the deck...

Zhao Zhitong: …

Before she could say anything, the cold river water rushed into her nose and mouth.

She can't swim...

Zhao Zhitong tried her best to stretch out her hand, and jumped a few times on the river surface. This was her last struggle.

Then, her body began to sink, and as the air became less and less, her consciousness gradually became confused...

—

When she woke up again, she found that she was lying on the bed, and there was a six or seven-year-old girl beside her, looking at her curiously.

Seeing her eyes open, the little girl blinked and blinked again.

Zhao Zhitong opened his mouth, just about to say something: "Which..."

Before she could say anything, the little girl suddenly yelled, got up, and rushed out at a trot, with her mouth still in her mouth: "Mother, mother, the beautiful sister is awake!"

Zhao Zhitong: "..."

Then, the door curtain was lifted, and a woman in her thirties walked in with a cloth towel on her head.

She saw Zhao Zhitong who had already sat up, smiled and asked, "Girl, you're awake, are you cold?"

Zhao Zhitong shook his head, and found that he was wearing a very simple dress. Presumably, it should be the clothes of this woman's house.

The woman smiled and said: "Your clothes, that young master took them to be baked. These are my eldest daughter's clothes. They are a bit worn out. Don't dislike them."

Zhao Zhitong waved his hands again and again: "No, no, did you save me? Thank you."

At this time, the little girl who ran out before came in again, holding a small bowl in her hand.

She came to Zhao Zhitong, handed the bowl to her, and whispered: "Sister, here you are, it's not cold."

Zhao Zhitong glanced at the soup in the bowl, and then understood what the little girl meant, that she was told to drink **** soup so that she would not be cold.

Zhao Zhitong couldn't help but smiled, and reached out to take Jiang Tang: "Thank you, little sister."

At this time, the woman said: "Actually, it's not like we saved you. My man transports goods on the river. Recently, a nest of water thieves appeared on the Yingshui River. It's very arrogant."

"Today we laid an ambush, intending to wipe them out. Who knows, the Fei family's boat passed here today, and was targeted by those water thieves. You are also implicated."

"Just in time, when my man passed by, I saw you and a young man falling into the water. The young man carried you to the shore, and we brought you here."

"Actually, it was that young master who rescued you."

Just when Zhao Zhitong was curious about who the son who rescued him was, Qiao Muchen opened the curtain and came in.

He was also wearing a gray cloth shirt, but Ren Jiu couldn't hide his temperament.

Qiao Muchen: "Sister-in-law of the Jin family, brother Jin called you, leave this place to me."

The woman responded, took the empty bowl in Zhao Zhitong's hand, smiled and took her little daughter away.

Looking at Qiao Muchen who walked in, Zhao Zhitong couldn't help but drop his heart, and said with a smile, "So, you were the one who rescued me."

Qiao Muchen couldn't help laughing: "Why, I seem very disappointed after hearing what you said. Who do you want to save you?"

Zhao Zhitong was speechless: "..." Was she disappointed?

Qiao Muchen: "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore, do you feel better?"

Zhao Zhitong nodded: "It's okay, I'm in good health."

As he spoke, he thought of something and asked, "Oh, by the way, who are these people? Also, Lan Lan, Zhao Yue, how are my brother and the others? Are they rescued?"

Zhao Zhitong asked out the doubts in his heart.

The woman said that her man was a cargo transporter on the river, but she was naturally curious about how a cargo transporter could catch water thieves.

Qiao Muchen smiled: "You, just woke up, there are so many questions."

said so, but still answered her question.

"Do you know water transport? In order to transport part of the grain and grass collected from the land tax to the capital or other designated places, the imperial court connected the three major water systems of the Yellow River, Huai River, and Yangtze River to form a new water transport channel connecting the north and the south.

And responsible for the transportation of grain transportation, it is called water transportation, this big brother of the Jin family is the leader of water transportation.

Cao operation is half of the rivers and lakes, half of which is working for the imperial court. It belongs to a half gray area. In the rivers and lakes, the influence is still quite large. "

After Qiao Muchen patiently explained, he continued.

"Also, Wei Shulan, Zhao Yue, your cousin and sister, and Granny Yang, they are all fine. Those water thieves found that we were just an ordinary passenger ship with no valuables on board, so they went to attack Fei's family. the ship."
