Chapter 237: A game that takes half an hour

The thief stabbed too fast, and there was no time for Tan Zong to consider how to do it. So Tan Zong subconsciously turned his head, and then his whole body suddenly fell forward!

Fortunately, this is a flower boat, not a small sampan for ordinary people to fish. Therefore, although this pounce made Tan Zong very embarrassed, he finally temporarily controlled the thief while avoiding this sword.

But as Tan Zong expected, the sound of three people falling to the ground at the same time was too loud, so big that the people in the cabin heard it, and even made Tan Zong think that he was not alone but an elephant. It was just that the difficulties in front of him made Tan Zong have no time to think about the possible consequences of the sound, because there was a bigger trouble in front of him and he needed to solve it.

"Die me!" Tan Zong, who did not dare to make another sound, shouted loudly in his heart and used his hands and feet to get up. Before he could stand firm, he would be a tiger pounce. The dagger hit the thief's chest, and then he stirred it up again. Then he panted and turned his ears to listen to whether there was any other movement nearby.

After a few minutes, Tan Zong slowly got up from the ground. The calming for several minutes made Tan Zong feel that he should be safe for the time being, so he quickly called Huang *yao who was hiding in the dark, and then planned to move the body away by himself, so as not to be noticed by other people who came to patrol.

Peng Yufan stood in the middle of the cabin, and the few candles that were lit up around reflected the wooden fragments on the ground under his feet. These fragments were a good yellow flower and wood tea table before a few breaths. However, Peng Yufan felt that the thing was in the middle, so he stepped on it and heard a bang, and directly stepped on the solid yellow flower and wood into a pile of fragments.

"Tsk tsk, this wood is really hard." Peng Yufan raised his feet from the fragments, and shook the wood chips on his feet casually. Then he turned around and looked at Lin Qingyun in leisure and said, "Looking at this man's extraordinary figure, I guess he is the Lin County Zun of Wuxi County. Peng Yufan, the head of the Thirteenth Bond in Taihu Lake, has just made his feet itchy for a moment, and I hope he will not disturb the lord."

"Thirteen Bandits in Taihu Lake?" After seeing Peng Yufan appearing as if he was calm and actually warn, Lin Qingyun knew that the thief was definitely not small this time. But after hearing Peng Yufan's self-report, he was a little confused.

The local officials of the Dashun Dynasty were never a place where people could live. They not only had to be proficient in criminal laws, but also had to understand military affairs. All county magistrates in areas close to the border, such as Datong Prefecture, are both civil and military. Although Jiangnan has been peaceful for a long time and their requirements for local chief officials have decreased, the prefects and county magistrates must at least have some understanding of some of the traitors in the territory.

Although the flying thief Ye Laixiang who has been wandering in Nanjing Prefecture has never committed a crime in Wuxi, Lin Qingyun also knows it. Although the waters of Taihu Lake are wide, there are no large-scale water thieves. They are just small bandits of seven or eight people. These small bandits are usually fishermen, and occasionally rob the passenger ships left alone in the lake. They usually just force themselves to pay some "buy money", but they have never hurt their lives. They are just a small problem.

However, Lin Qingyun, the man who claimed to be the "Thirteen Detachments of Taihu Lake" in front of him had never heard of it, so he couldn't help but reveal a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"The Lord of Lin County, don't doubt it." Peng Yufan understood the meaning of Lin Qingyun's eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Before today, the Thirteen Troops of Taihu Lake were just jokes on the mouths of our brothers. But from today on, this name will probably resound throughout Taihu Lake, and everyone knows it!" In the end, Peng Yufan's eyes were already full of fanaticism, and he was obviously in an inexplicable excitement.

"Taihu Thirteen Knights?" Silently put down the corpse in his hand, Tan Zong shaking a stiff arc with a trembling mouth. No matter how you hear this name, it is rustic, and more importantly, it is obvious that there are only eleven Knights left now.

"But the word Thirteen is used well." Tan Zong looked up at the two figures still standing on the ship in the distance. The bright light shook the two figures walking back and forth on the window ridge, which looked like shadow puppets.

"There are four in the cabin, four on the deck, two on the boat over there, Xiao Ping'er's third brother, and two others did not appear? Could it be that she was watching outside?" Tan Zong thought secretly while carefully observing the water surface around him, but he did not notice anything unusual around him.

Tan Zong turned his ears and heard a moment of movement. In addition to the occasional sobs from the rear cabin, there were intermittent sounds in the cabin. He ordered Huang * Yao to hide it again in a dark place in the rear cabin, and left the dagger to her at Huang * Yao's strong request. Tan Zong, who was carrying two swords, then touched the rear cabin in the dark.

Tan Zong knew very well that he could fight one-on-one. If he had taken advantage of the dark, he could kill one or two, but if he had a thief openly, he would have been killed. Therefore, it was the most unwise behavior to be a hero and go to the cabin to save people in the cabin at this time.

Besides, the purpose of those thieves is very obvious, they are kidnapped, so the men in the cabin will definitely not have any danger at this time. Instead of taking the risk to save these men, it is better to save the ones that can be saved first.

As a visitor to later generations, Tan Zong had already experienced the inequality between men and women, especially some privileges of the official class, but in Tan Zong's heart, he still did not place himself in a higher position. In Tan Zong's view, there is not much difference between people, especially in life issues, unless they are people with special value.

Carefully touching the rear cabin, Tan Zong saw clearly the situation in the rear cabin - not because Tan Zong's vision was already so ecstasy that he could see anything clearly in the dark, but that the rear cabin was light at this time!

The back cabin originally existed as a kitchen, utility room, etc. However, in the small back cabin, there were a group of girls in white clothes. An ordinary man was standing at the door with a bone-cutting knife that was half an arm long as an adult, and his back was facing Tan Zong, his mouth was not making a smirk that made Tan Zong nauseate.

For such a fool, Tan Zong naturally wouldn't mind having a long sword from his back!

The girls looked at the thief who suddenly stretched out a long sword on his chest, and his eyes suddenly opened to the maximum. After seeing the thief who turned his head halfway down and completely lost his life, a girl screamed uncontrollably!

"Shut up!" Tan Zong, who turned from behind the thief, shouted impatiently, and then carefully laid the dead thief on the ground. But before he could stand up, there was a girl behind him saying intermittently in panic: "Tan, Lord Tan... go and save Sister Ping'er and Sister Sang'er. She... they were taken away by the thief."

"Ping'er?" Tan Zong was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was Xiao Ping'er. Only then did he notice that there was no Xiao Ping'er among the group of women in front of him. As for that Sang'er, he didn't know who it was.

But Tan Zong knew that it was not the time to pursue this, so he just asked quickly: "Where were people taken?" When Tan Zong asked this, he was praying not to be taken to the cabin, otherwise he would rather bear the infamy for a lifetime than be so angry that he would have saved two women and women to pay his life.

At this time, another girl stood up and said, "Top, I heard the person with scars on his face say he was going to the top."

"These thieves also know the mood." Tan Zong sighed in his heart while he couldn't help but complain about the two thieves in his heart.

The flower boat is not small, and it is nearly twenty meters long in front and back. However, in addition to the bottom cabin, there seem to be two floors on the deck, but in fact there is still one floor. There is another floor that is just a building similar to a pavilion based on the first floor, which actually allows guests to sit on the deck to enjoy the moon while watching the song and dance in the pavilion. In addition, if guests are willing, they can also ride the wind and cool down in the pavilion.

If there are three or two friends who can sit and drink opposite you, and there is a cool breeze and a bright moon, it is still a good place to relax. Therefore, Tan Zong will feel that these thieves have a romantic mood - they really have chosen a good location.

Tan Zong ordered a few women to find Huang *yao, then close the door, and then left the rear cabin and walked towards the back deck. But before he could walk a few steps, Tan Zong could hear various sounds above his head, including the helpless crying of a woman, the rude and smug laughter of a man, the sound of silk being torn apart, and Xiao Ping'er seemed calmly shouting. Knowing that the two thieves had already started to take action, a trace of anxiety flashed in Tan Zong's eyes, and his feet moved faster, and he quickly reached the wooden ladder upstairs.

But Tan Zong just gently put one foot on, and the wooden ladder made a slight sound. This sound made Tan Zong feel cold all over and immediately stopped all his movements.

At this time, the sound coming from the building was getting worse and worse. Judging from the two girls, it should be that the two thieves were taking advantage of the thieves, but Tan Zong had to stop for the time being. Tan Zong knew very well at this time that if he rushed forward recklessly in order to save people, he would be afraid that the sound of sprinting ladders would be enough to alarm the two thieves above.

Once the fight starts, he will not be able to win against two thieves at the same time. What's more important is that once these two thieves call people, Tan Zong will be able to escape unless he abandons Huang * Yao and other women and dives to escape, he will have to stay and fight the thieves for the death.

While trying to move the center of gravity of his body to the foot that was stepping on the wooden ladder, Tan Zong began to slowly lift his other foot, and kept praying in his heart that the two men would be more romantic, such as the previous play could have half an hour or something: "Time, I need time now!"

ps: It’s hard to describe it, I’m in great trouble recently.

Now it is close to 12 o'clock, so I'd better post today's chapter first. Let me tell you about the specific details tomorrow. I can only apologize for the interruption of these days. I hope that after listening to my explanation tomorrow, I will forgive me and send blessings.
Chapter completed!
