Li Liu agreed, took out a strong bow from behind, set an arrow and shot at the captain of the ship.

Although the boss of this boat has been around for a long time, he has never encountered a situation like this, where he does whatever he says and kills when he says. What's more, he didn't expect that the handsome young man opposite him would be like this.

Suddenly showing his ferocious face, I couldn't help being frightened.

In fact, the boss of the ship did not know that although Li Xianzhong looked gentle and like a scholar, he had already killed countless people. Because his family was in Liaodong, and the Li family had been ordered by the court to guard Liaodong for decades. The sons of the Li family generally

They have been on the battlefield since they were teenagers. For them, killing people is just a trivial matter like eating a bun. Although these days, because they are in Fujian, Li Xianzhong has always been more restrained, but now that no one has

As soon as he was in charge of the sea, he immediately showed his true nature.

Fortunately, Ying'er was clever. She pulled the boat rope at hand and knocked the boat boss down. The boat boss was able to avoid the arrow.

Ying'er didn't understand why Li Xianzhong was polite to his young lady before, but now he suddenly changed his attitude. Little did she know that just now, when Yu Ren and Cao An arrived at the dock with Wu Bao hostage,

Li Xianzhong was also nearby, but in order to prevent Yu Ren and the others from increasing the pressure and accidentally injuring Wu Bao, Li Xianzhong and his men did not come forward.

At that time, Li Liu suddenly said to Li Xianzhong, "Master, in my opinion, this person named Yu seems to have a very close relationship with Miss Li. If you let them leave like this, even if we catch Li next time,

Miss, I'm afraid this Miss Li has also become Mrs. Yu.

Why don't we hire a boat and follow them. When we get to the sea, we'll have an overlord with a bow, kill the boy named Yu, and then kidnap Miss Li."

"Women! It's just what happened in the first one or two days! When Miss Li becomes the young master's woman, as long as you treat her a little better, nothing will happen! In fact, women are all the same.

No matter how beautiful she is, as soon as she follows a man, she will only think about the man in front of her wholeheartedly. It doesn't matter whether he is married by a matchmaker or snatched away from him, it's the same." Li Liu seemed to be very experienced.

"The women I robbed in Liaodong were all like this, including the Mongolian woman."

Li Xianzhong nodded repeatedly after listening to Li Liu's words. So, as soon as they saw Yu Ren and others boarding the ship, they immediately found a merchant ship and chased after it. Since they had already made plans to rob and kill them, this time

, Li Xianzhong brought all nine of his servants with him, as well as all the bows and arrows.

Here again, Li Liu saw that his arrow failed to hit the boss of the boat, so he quickly drew out another arrow and prepared to shoot again. However, he saw two people running out of the cabin. These two people were Yu Ren and his bookboy Cao An.

.The two of them each held a small table in front of them.

Yu Ren didn't wait for Li Liu to fire another arrow, but he had already blocked the boat boss behind him and used the wooden table as a shield.

"Shipman, hurry up and get rid of these people." Yu Ren reminded.

Only then did the captain of the ship come to his senses, and quickly asked the sailors to speed up the sails, while he himself rushed to the cabin.

It turns out that these sea-going ships in the Ming Dynasty no longer relied entirely on sails. They also added artificial power to the bottom of the ship, mainly something similar to ship oars, which was controlled by sailors. This kind of ship began to appear in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was even more common. However, due to the laborious control, most of them would only use this manual method to accelerate the ship in emergencies.

Sure enough, under the command of the ship boss, Yu Ren's ship gradually distanced itself from Li Xianzhong's ship and was no longer parallel to it. In this way, even if Li Xianzhong asked his men to shoot arrows at this ship, it would be useless.

During this period, Yu Ren and Cao An had been standing on the deck, holding two wooden tables in order to monitor the ships on the opposite side and prevent Li Xianzhong and others from boarding the ship.

What reassured Yu Ren was that Li Xianzhong didn't seem to have any good way to get on the boat. He just tried several times to have someone throw the anchor to Yu Ren's boat. However, due to the large distance between the two boats, they finally failed.

did not succeed.

Seeing that this strategy didn't work, Li Xianzhong ordered his captain to put down a small boat and prepare to board the opposite ship from the small boat. However, all of Li Xianzhong's men were from the north and had never been on a boat, let alone one of this size.

It was a huge sea ship. Although the small boat was lowered, no one dared to get on it and try to board the opposite ship.

Finally, under Li Xianzhong's forced order, Li Liu and Zhang Hu were sent over by a sailor on the ship, preparing to board by force.

When he saw that Li Liu and the others were trying to board the ship by force, Yu Ren couldn't help but worry. Although he was not afraid of Li Liu now, the other party must have weapons in hand. However, the two of them were using their bare hands. If they really wanted to let the other party board the deck,

That would be a big problem.

"What should I do?" Yu Ren asked Cao An beside him.

"Don't worry, sir. These two guys are landlubbers and can be easily dealt with. As long as you protect me and don't let them shoot cold arrows at me, I can guarantee not to let these two guys board the ship even with just a rope."

Cao An said calmly.

When Yu Ren heard about it, he felt relieved. So Yu Ren used a wooden table to protect the two of them and came to the side of the boat. But as Cao An said, only a rope could stop Li Liu and the other two.

He still didn't quite believe it.

At this time, Li Liu and Zhang Hu had already disembarked from the boat, and were being paddled by the sailor as they approached the boat. At this time, Yu Ren also saw it. Li Liu and Zhang Hu definitely didn't know how to swim.

When the two of them got off the boat, the hull shook violently.

Although Li Liu and Zhang Hu finally got on the boat after waiting for a long time, they never dared to stand up. They only dared to squat on the boat, holding on to the edge of the boat with both hands and not letting go. As for their bows and arrows,

It can only be carried on the back and cannot be used.

"Young Master, you have seen it! They don't even dare to hold a bow, let alone shoot an arrow. So I say, they have nothing to be afraid of. In our Ming Dynasty, when it comes to siege cities and land on land, it must be the north.

They are tough people. But when it comes to this kind of water kung fu at sea, it is still our southerners who are better and better. Moreover, they do not have any tools for naval warfare. They just rely on these few bows in their hands to fight on land.

, it may be able to show some prestige, but when it comes to the sea, this kind of thing basically loses its effect.

The really scary thing at sea is the pirates. They have been active at sea for many years and have a good understanding of the surrounding water conditions. In addition, their ships are equipped with various weapons to attack ships, and some are even equipped with artillery. So

, when an ordinary merchant ship encounters it, they can only choose to surrender. However, in recent years, the pirates in our Fujian area have still abided by the rules. As long as the people on the ship pay the money as required, basically everyone will be fine.

"

Yu Ren nodded repeatedly. He really didn't expect that the humble little book boy next to him actually had such knowledge.

Cao An continued to express his knowledge of pirates. Yu Ren was listening in rapt attention, but Cao An suddenly interrupted, "They are coming!"

Sure enough, Li Liu's boat had already reached the big ship. The sailor was very experienced. Before the small boat could reach the big ship, he first pierced the hull of the big ship with a water-splitting thorn, and then tied the small boat to the big ship with a rope.

Divide the water and stab it. In this way, the boat will not be easily thrown away.

After the sailor had done all this, he said to Li Liu, "You two, please come forward!"

Li Liu looked up at the edge of the boat. It was still more than nine feet high from him. Even if he stood up straight, he still couldn't reach it. Li Liu couldn't help but feel worried. At this moment, a piece of

The rope hung from the edge of the boat.

Li Liu was overjoyed. His first reaction was, "There are our people on this boat." But when he looked up, he found that the person who hung the rope to him was the person who kidnapped Wu Bao outside the city that morning.

Cao An and Li Liu were hesitating whether to reach out and pull the rope, but Zhang Hu had already stood up.

"Brother Six, what are you doing? Isn't there a rope here? Why don't you get on?"

Before Li Liu could remind him to be careful, Zhang Hu had already stood up and grabbed the rope. But Zhang Hu forgot that he was on a boat, and the boat under his feet was still very small. Zhang Hu suddenly stood up like this
