Chapter 1582 Borrowing a few ships

Is it outrageous that I just entered a city casually and was chased by assassins without even eating a few bites of food?

I can only say that it was unexpected, but reasonable.

Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi were going to the north, so of course they had to take the fastest route. They wanted to help, not to fish, so taking a long detour was certainly not within their consideration.

Tang Lianyu helped the Ten Kingdoms of the Central Plains transport supplies, so of course he took a shortcut, and water transportation had an incomparable advantage in large transportation capacity.

Since they all took shortcuts, it was only a matter of time before they would run into them. After all, Tang Lianyu needed to patrol back and forth on the entire transportation line, so it would be strange if he didn't run into them.

Yang Yiyi was indeed a hero, and how to leave the safe zone was a headache.

But then again, the defenders of this small place reacted quickly.

When Yang Yiyi caught up with the team, there was already a sound of fighting at the intersection behind her. It might be that the soldiers were fighting with the people of Anxiangtang.

These guys were really brave, and they were not even afraid of the government troops.

Li Chengxi slid the wheel and could vaguely see people running towards a big ship in the magnified field of vision. Although it was not clear due to the heavy rain, it should be the Tangfeng Company.

As long as they got on the ship, untied the rope and floated on the water, it would be difficult for the assassins of Anxiangtang to get on. Even if they could swim, they had to climb the towering side of the ship, which was much safer than the assassins of Anxiangtang jumping out at any time in the city.

Li Chengxi felt that the matter should be over here. He couldn't run so far away. The assassins would still be ambushing, right?

——Really.

"Miss! Miss!"

Yang Yiyi and the others protected Tang Lianyu and approached the big ship. A large group of servants immediately ran down from the ship. They must have heard the noise and immediately protected Tang Lianyu in three layers inside and outside.

However, when they were about to get on the ship, they heard a loud bang.

The big ship docked at the shore seemed to have been punched out of thin air. It tilted suddenly and then slowly tilted to the other side.

It's not that the assassins of Anxiangtang brought the cannon. Just now, Li Chengxi clearly saw a flash of fire on the left rear of the big ship, and then a big hole was blown open.

That happened to be the location of the warehouse. It is possible that the assassins of Anxiangtang mixed explosives such as gunpowder in the cargo and then secretly ignited and detonated them.

Several of the servants who came down to protect Tang Lianyu were hit by the flying wood debris, which looked like blood gourds, which was particularly terrifying.

Large ships are usually not easy to sink, even wooden ones, but the explosion was near the waterline, and water was poured into the broken hole frantically. The whole ship also tilted at a speed visible to the naked eye, almost leaning against the dock.

In this state, it is impossible to leave the port.

The plan prepared by the assassins of Anxiangtang is obviously a chain of rings. It would be best if Tang Lianyu could be killed in the inn. If not, kill her on her way to escape, or destroy her ship.

Without the boat, there is no way to retreat. Who knows how many people from the Anxiang Hall are still in the city? Who knows if they will be ambushed on the way to the city gate.

Tang Lianyu seems to be more important than Princess Mingzhu. Although the attack on Princess Mingzhu's convoy by the Anxiang Hall was exaggerated enough, it was obviously not on the same scale as the ambush on Tang Lianyu.

It can be seen how foolish it was when the Anxiang Hall sent two people to do this when chasing Yang Yiyi.

Now the boat is gone, and there are a lot of wounded people slowing down the pace. The situation seems a bit bad.

–--——---——

Mixed in the rustling rain, there was a sound of "ouch my ah".

Yang Yiyi rubbed her scalp. Just now, a piece of wood hit her head, but her head was fine, and she didn't know where the wood flew away.

Wu Shaoyi was protected by Yang Yiyi behind her, and he was fine. Tang Lianyu was surrounded in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by meat shields, of course, he was fine.

The heroes from the Sixteen Villages that Qin Yan brought were all martial artists, and they only suffered minor injuries. However, the group of servants who came down from the boat were different. They were close to the explosion point, and they didn't have any way to protect themselves like the people in the martial arts world.

The rain washed the wounds, and soon left a large pool of blood.

The people who stayed on the boat ran out of the cabin in panic. The whole ship was tilting a little bit and couldn't right itself. Although the water was shallow on the dock, such a large ship was unlikely to sink directly, but it was definitely impossible to run away with it.

The group hurriedly dragged the wounded to the pavilion near the dock, at least to avoid the wind and rain. Tang Lianyu asked the servants to find a doctor quickly.

If they continued to stay here, let alone whether Anxiangtang would come to make dumplings, the most dangerous ones were actually the servants of Tangfeng Trading Company. They had to move as soon as possible to transfer Tang Lianyu away.

But which way to go?

Qin Yan bandaged the wounds of the wounded quickly, then turned around and shouted:

"Borrow a few black-sailed boats used by fellow villagers for fishing, we can't stay here!"

She was smart. There was more fishing boats than just Tangfeng Commercial Company on the dock.

These black-sailed boats were small and light, and their speed was absolutely first-class.

It was too dangerous to turn back to the city. The environment in the city was complicated, and the vision was affected by the heavy rain, so it was too easy to be ambushed.

In comparison, the waterway should be safer.

Tang Lianyu nodded, arranged for the servants to deal with the aftermath, and gave some silver to the boatman. Then the group quickly jumped on the boat, untied the rope and rowed to the river.

Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi were the most capable among them. The two of them were arranged next to Tang Lianyu. Because there were so many people, a total of five black-sailed boats left the dock and floated to the river under the cover of the rain.

Although it is much easier to drive a small fishing boat than a big boat, it is not something that anyone can do. If you are not careful, you will end up spinning in circles.

Fortunately, the heroes of the Sixteen Villages are quite good at this. It seems that because there are many water networks around the Sixteen Villages, the people of the Sixteen Villages are quite good at rowing and swimming.

Seeing the boat gradually drifting to the center of the river and starting to move forward along the current, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Let alone holding an umbrella, even Yang Yiyi, who was wearing a straw raincoat, was soaked all over. When the wind blew on the river, it felt really cold and she couldn't help shivering.

Li Chengxi did prepare raincoats for Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi, but Yang Yiyi insisted that wearing a straw raincoat made her look more like a knight, and the raincoat was too ugly.

——It was quite second-year.

So everyone on the boat immediately lit the small clay stove in the boat awning. This thing is usually used by fishermen to cook fish on the boat, which can provide some heat.

Yang Yiyi just lit the fire, turned to Qin Yan who was standing in the rain at the bow and said:

"Come in and warm up."

"I won't go in. Someone needs to watch over me. The people from Anxiang Hall might chase us."

The people from the Sixteenth Village were also wearing straw raincoats, which were more or less useful.

"Where are we going now?"

"Let's go to our hiding place near the Sixteenth Village first. My eldest brother should meet us there, and then we can figure out where to go."

Send Tang Lianyu to a safe place. The nearest place should be the next town. We need to study the route carefully.
