The movement on the lotus water alarmed the nearby villages. The villagers looked from afar and thought it was the government that was destroying the bandits. When they walked up and looked carefully, they found that it was the water bandits robbing the passing caravan. The water bandits were crowded and surrounded the huge Dulou boat two or three times.

Seeing that the matter was not related to one's own affairs, the villagers avoided it and did not dare to come forward to watch the fun, as they might cause trouble. Some people also went to report to the officials.

Some good people stood on the higher hillside and looked at the trench boats on the Lotus Water. They found that the bandits on the small boats had begun to rush up the trench boats and fought with the people on the trench boats. And above the Lotus Water, another fleet was sailing south, and there were also officials running on the shore, advancing water and land, as if they were to rescue the trench boats.

However, on the deck of the building ship, Xu Ziling was struggling to fight with the Liangshan tribes. The Su family guards had fallen nearly half of them, and their defense was forced to shrink to the large cabin door in front of the ship.

Although the Liangshan tribe was weak, they were not afraid of death. Xu Ziling kept waving his fists, and anyone who was hit by his fists flew backwards and lay on the ground and could not move.

The deck of the building ship was already full of people. The troops who had lost their combat power were slowly taken off the ship, and the new troops were also coming up.

Uncle Fang was restrained by Chao Gai and others. The defenders of Xu Ziling were also Lao Wu and Lao Liu. Lao Ba went to ask for help, and the time was almost up.

In the cabin of the building, the women and the old man hid in a cargo hold next to the cabin of the building. This cargo hold is used to store valuables on weekdays, and the cabin door is the hardest than other cabins, so Su Wan took everyone here and locked the cabin door.

Listening to the screams outside, the girls were extremely nervous, afraid that someone would rush in. Even Su Wan was a little worried. Although she had experienced some assassination, she had never experienced the formation of thousands of people.

Several women were leaning against the wall, only the white-haired old man sat upright in the middle of the cargo hold. Su Wan looked at him and said, "Grandpa Zhang, you should lean over, too, if the thief rushed in later..."

But I heard the old man say, "It's okay, why are you afraid of death if you have half of your body buried in the soil? If the thief comes in, I can still stop you."

Su Wan knew that the old man was gentle on the surface but stubborn on the inside, so he stopped persuading him. In the current situation, he could only choose to trust Uncle Fang.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the cargo hold, and then the sound of being hit hard by the cargo hold door, and the women immediately stopped breathing.

She didn't hear the sound of the cabin door being broken. Su Wan didn't know how the people outside entered the cabin, but she didn't have time to think too much. She was really afraid that the old man would die here for them, so she immediately pulled out a protective dagger and walked to the old man.

Seeing Su Wan standing beside her, the old man sighed and said nothing.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

No matter how strong the hatch door is, it cannot withstand continuous knocking.

With a tremor, a steel fork penetrated the hatch door, which cracked in half, and the knocking sound came to an abrupt end.

A big man with purple-colored face walked in with a steel fork and laughed.

Seeing Yingying Yanyan’s girls, the man looked straight and smiled and said, “If so many beauties are caught together, I will be the only one of them.”

Seeing that it seemed that they were all weak women, the big man simply put down his steel fork, rubbed his hands, and walked towards Su Wan. After walking a few steps, the old man who was ignored by him stood up and blocked him. He raised his hand and slapped the old man directly to the ground.

Su Wan screamed in shock, and angrily attacked the heart, holding a dagger and stabbing straight at the big man.

The man smiled and reached out to hold the sharp blade of the dagger. Without the blessing of true energy, no matter how sharp the dagger was, it could not break his body-protecting true energy.

Su Wan held the dagger tightly and wanted to pull it out, but couldn't move at all.

The big man grabbed the dagger and pulled it forward. Su Wan was immediately taken to the big man by the dagger and almost hit him.

Su Wan, who reacted, quickly let go of the dagger and retreated quickly.

But the man looked up and sucked the air in front of him, revealing an intoxicated expression: "The smell of a wealthy woman is really loveable."

Su Wan was both ashamed and angry, and threatened: "Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch me, you will be doomed to you."

The big man walked towards her slowly and laughed, "Miss Su family, why don't I know? But if I just tease a few times, my brothers won't blame me."

The big man kept approaching, and Su Wan retreated repeatedly until he hit the wall and had no place to retreat. Seeing that the big man was about to approach, a bench suddenly hit him, and it was Ming Xia holding the bench.

Seeing the speed of the bench waving, the big man didn't even look at it. He grabbed the leg of the bench and pushed it hard, causing Mingxia to take several steps back and hit the maid.

The big man looked at Su Wan's arrogant and luxurious temperament and exquisite and beautiful face, and couldn't help but purse his cracked lips, swallowed his saliva, and leaned over with his big face.

Looking at the man who was so close to him, Su Wan, who had been in a rich and frugal life since childhood, had ever suffered such grievances, tears immediately flowed out.

The big man continued to step forward, wanting to have a kiss on the beauty. Just when his big face was less than one foot away from Su Wan, his spine suddenly became cold and he wanted to turn around.

Su Wan in despair paused for a moment, and a little red light pierced from his throat, stopped before the tip of her nose, and blood slid down the red light, and a few drops even fell on her brocade shoes.

After standing for a few breaths, the man fell down and lay in front of the dull Su Wan.

But someone asked urgently: "Mingxia, are you okay?"

Su Wan slowly woke up and saw Xu Ziling holding Mingxia, feeling mixed feelings.

And return time to the past.

Xu Ziling resisted the attack of Liangshan tribes in front of the large cabin door. He believed that as long as he guarded the gate, the people in Liangshan would not be able to enter the cabin. However, he suddenly remembered the process of taking Mingxia into the cabin.

The Su family's building ship was very particular, and the windows on the first and second floors were extremely thick. When encountering war, just close the cabin doors and windows and guard the large cabin door in front of the ship, so you can ensure that no one can enter the cabin. However, due to the height advantage of the third floor, almost no one can climb up with light skills or hook locks, so they often neglect the precautions and even open the windows. This is also the reason why Xu Ziling was able to enter the cabin.

So he was afraid that there were people with unique skills in Liangshan people who could climb up to the third floor, so he rushed to the outside and looked around and found that there were many small holes on the hull, leading to a window on the third floor. Someone climbed up with the help of something.

Xu Ziling immediately woke up and rushed into the cabin. He happened to see the big man pushing Mingxia away at the door of the cargo tank and insulting Su Wan, so he made Chi Xiaofei shoot at the big man.

The great man was not weak, but he was smart and thought no one could find him. He shot his flying sword and was killed by a single blow before he could take time to prevent him.

Mingxia was pushed just now, and the bench touched the bridge of her nose. At this time, Xu Ziling was gently pinching her straight nose, luckily stopping the bleeding for her.

Mingxia could feel the warmth from her nose, but when Xu Ziling pinched her nose in front of everyone, she still felt red and hot.

Su Wan wiped away the tears and ran to the old man who had been before. He found that the old man had just fainted. He breathed a sigh of relief and helped the old man onto the chair.

The shouting outside became louder and louder, as if the government troops were coming.

As expected.

After a while, the fifth and sixth brothers walked in and said that the bandits from Liangshan saw the official army coming and fled.

Uncle Fang came later, and when he saw that Su Wan was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. He overestimated the efficiency of the government army's movements and did not expect anyone to enter the cabin from the third floor.

Fortunately, I was shocked and only lost some guards.

The government rushed to Zhao An, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture. He heard that the Sujialou boat in Jiangnan was robbed by Liangshan bandits in Heshui, so he mobilized the official army and rushed over without stopping.

It was not because the Su family was so attentive, but because Zhang Wenhua was his friend. He had previously said that he would take the Su family's boat to Yunzhou.

Seeing that his friend was safe, Zhao An felt relieved. He directly picked him up on the boat and took him back to Dongping Mansion.

With the help of the government army, Uncle Fang and others quickly cleaned up the corpses and blood on the ship, handed over all the corpses of Liangshan tribes to the government to be cremated by the government army, and the bodies of their own guards were paid for the money and sent to Yangzhou by the Clippers to Yangzhou, and buried them together in the Su family's cemetery.

After everything was settled, the boat started to sail again. Now it is less than three days away from Bianliang.

Xu Ziling and Uncle Fang and others stood on the deck, looking at the thick layer of blood flowing with the river on the river surface, and felt a lot of emotion. Human life was like grass, and he had already deeply understood it. The Liangshan tribe was not all traitors, but they died on this lotus water, and no one would care about it from now on.

Why do they care about their own lives? Is it the rice in their belly, the wine in their mouths, the respect and loyalty to Chao Gai and Song Jiang and others, or the banner that takes the way for heaven?

Just as he was thinking a lot, Uncle Fang next to him patted his shoulder and said softly: "Thank you this time."

Xu Ziling came to his senses and shook his head: "I have also received a lot of kindness from your Su family. You don't have to tell me these polite words. It's too disgusting."

Uncle Fang laughed: "You kid are honest. No matter what, I owe you a favor."

Xu Ziling looked at the scenery moving backwards on both sides of the straits and stopped talking.

After a while, Su Wankuankuan, who had changed into a green dress, walked over and said to Uncle Fang and others: "I want to say something to him alone."

Uncle Fang responded, patted Xu Ziling on the shoulder again, and took Lao Wu Lao Ba back to the cabin.

Xu Ziling glanced at Su Wan who was eager to speak but stopped and said, "No need to say anything thankful."

Su Wan took care of her hair that was blown by the wind and said slowly: "I, Su Wan, have always been clearly divided into grudges. You have saved my innocence, just like saving my life. I know that you like money, so I will give you 10,000 taels as a thank you. How about it?"

When Xu Ziling heard that he had money to take, he was instantly excited: "Is your life worth ten thousand taels?"

Su Wan, who had just changed his impression of him, was stunned and whispered: "How much do you want?"

Xu Ziling touched his chin and said, "Thirty thousand taels, is there any?"

Su Wan gritted her teeth and replied, "Okay, 30,000 taels are only 30,000 taels, and the grudges will be eliminated from now on."

Xu Ziling stretched out his palm: "One word is certain!"

Su Wan was stunned for a moment. Although she was not very happy, she still hit him.

After that, the two stood silently on the deck, looking at the not-so-beautiful scenery around them, and thinking about things.

After a long time, Xu Ziling jumped up and flew away with his sword. Her clothes moved in the wind, and her feet were covered with red light, which was quite chic. She attracted Su Wan's gaze for a moment.

But he saw him fly to the shore and stop, pick up something, wash it in the water, put the round thing in his pocket, and flew back to the boat with his sword.

Seeing Su Wan's strange expression, Xu Ziling said in surprise: "Did you see that you didn't pick up money?"
