Drifting with the wind, the waterway went smoothly, because Mo Lingyuan cleared away possible obstacles along the way in advance, so counting day and night, it took only three days to reach the southern waters.
Bao'er has already adapted to life on the ship. She stood on the plywood and looked at the rolling river, "Miss, at this speed, we will see the young master soon."
Chu Yunyao half-closed her eyes, resting her palms on her forehead, watching the golden sun shining in the river water, dazzling and rotten.
"Well, I hope everything goes well." Chu Yunyao's pink lips slightly curled up, unable to restrain the joy in her heart: "I don't know how much Xiu'er has grown."
At night, Chu Yunyao and Bao'er were resting in the cabin as usual, and the cabin door was slapped loudly.
Yun Da's voice sounded at the door: "Miss, we met bandits. They shot arrows and set fire to it. It's already burning outside. Be careful."
When Chu Yunyao opened her eyes, she heard loud shouts outside, she immediately put on her clothes and got up, casually pulled her long hair, and quickly opened the hatch.
There were flames everywhere outside, and the sails on the ship were already set, and the flames clearly illuminated the faces on the entire ship.
Except for a few men who were Mo Lingyuan's personal guards, most of them were women from the Lingyun Sect. They were suddenly attacked in the dead of night. Although they were well dressed, their long hair was uncombed and scattered on their chests. On the back, the lining became more and more slender and delicate.
They fetched water and put out the fire together with the men, busily busy without any fright and panic.
Afraid that Chu Yunyao would catch a cold, Bao'er chased her out and put a bright red cape on Chu Yunyao.
She stood behind Chu Yunyao, calm in the face of danger: "Miss, we just walked to the center of the southern waters and left the protection area of the Lord, these people can't wait to appear.
Could it be that our itinerary was exposed? "
Standing on the splint, Chu Yunyao watched Yun Da orderly command everyone, guarding and extinguishing the fire, and her heart became more and more calm.
She raised her eyes, looked at the three giant ships that were besieging their ship, and shook her head: "Probably not, when we came from the north, we were unimpeded, even if the news leaked, it is impossible to get into trouble so quickly. …”
Rong Xiu ran over out of breath: "Young Madam, according to Miss Yun's order, I have checked all the equipment, and they are all good. The aiming and shooting holes under the deck have also been opened, just waiting for your order."
Chu Yunyao raised her chin, "Do you know who these thieves are?"
"The south is actually the same as the north. There are always some scum in the waters. Now the waters in the north are controlled by Mo Shao, so it can be regarded as calm. But in the south, the waters have always been under the jurisdiction of the He family. I heard that the He family is fighting for power. Among them, the second young master of the He family was vigorous and fierce, and was fighting for the power of the He family. Master He He Changqing deliberately favored He Jingyu, the eldest young master of the He family, so he handed over the most lucrative waters to him to control.
With such a large battle and scale, I am afraid that the eldest son of the He family might be the one who guards against him.
But all the ships in the south will be safe and sound after paying the silver, and the ships coming from other places, especially the luxurious ships, will intercept and rob..." Rong Xiu's brows became tighter and tighter, " Young Madam, if the person behind these thieves is really the young master of the He family, what should we do? "
"He Jingyu, an idiot, would actually do such a reckless thing." Chu Yunyao took a few steps forward and stood on the bow of the boat, "Surrender, let these thieves approach us, and give them a chance to step on our boat. "
