Remember "Bookworm" in one second.
The cripple holding the torch also panicked: "Second master, reinforcements have arrived outside. What should we do now?"
Help has arrived!
Ling Jingxu heard the bandits' mournful cries coming from the deck and felt a thrill of excitement in her heart.
But it's not time to relax yet. If these fierce bandits are forced into a desperate situation, they can completely kill them as a backing.
Ling Jingyu made an effort to lower her voice: "The situation outside is unclear, you few should hurry up and leave! Maybe you can still escape with your lives."
The second master sneered and said: "I'm leaving, but I absolutely can't leave empty-handed. Come with us. Otherwise, I'll kill everyone here right now."
Several bandits immediately drew out their weapons, and the long knives shone with a chilling light.
Ling Jingxu's heart sank, but she didn't dare hesitate for a moment and immediately replied: "Alright, I'll go with you."
"No! Ah-shu, you can't go with them."
Ling Xiao was shocked and lost his color upon hearing the words, he fumbled forward, but unexpectedly tripped over a chair under his feet. A sharp pain in his knee, it must be bleeding.
He is really useless!
Ling Xiao held back her tears and choked out: "Ah Jiao, let me go with them..."
Ling Xi also opened his mouth and said: "Sister Jiu, you mustn't go with these bandits..."
The cries of agony on the deck drowned out both Ling Xiao and Ling Xi's voices.
The second master listened to one familiar voice after another, his face looking extremely unpleasant.
These mournful cries were clearly from his subordinates. It was unknown where the reinforcements came from, but they were so fierce that they gained the upper hand in a short moment. If this continued, today it wasn't just about kidnapping someone, even their lives would be hard to preserve.
The second master made a decisive decision and immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.
Four consecutive high-pitched whistling sounds rang out!
Withdraw quickly!
The lame man holds a torch and leads the way in front.
The second master was about to drag Ling Jingxuan away, but Ling Jingxuan walked over on her own initiative, still holding the dagger against her delicate neck: "Don't touch me, I'll go myself."
So close. She only smelled the man's body odor, and Ling Jingxuan's stomach was already slightly nauseous, her pretty face even paler.
The situation was critical, and the second master hurriedly escaped. He also had no intention of competing with Ling Jingyu. The long knife in his hand pressed against Ling Jingyu's back, and he shouted: "Hurry up!"
If they could successfully escape with Ling Jingyu, they would make a fortune. With money, they wouldn't have to worry about recruiting followers. If the situation was really dangerous, having a hostage in hand would at least ensure their own safety.
......
Ling Xiao finally stumbled out.
At this time, Ling Jingxu had already gone down to the cabin with the bandits. Without torches, it was pitch black again.
"Ah Shu," Ling Xiao's face was covered in tears as he walked forward recklessly: "Ah Shu..."
A hand grasped his arm tightly, and Bai Yu's sobbing voice sounded in his ear: "Young master, Miss is willing to go with the bandits just to save your life and everyone else's. If you chase after them like this, not only will you fail to rescue Miss, but you'll also lose your own life."
Ling Xiao's movements came to an abrupt halt as he suddenly burst into tears.
"Young master, you stay here, I'll go find Miss." Bai Yu said and then rushed down the cabin.
The vast three-layer cabin, only the sorrowful and heartbreaking crying sound of Ling Xiao, Ling Jingyan and Jiang Shi didn't know whether it was shame or relief, the crying sound gradually stopped.
Lying motionless in the corner, Ling Xi hung his head dejectedly.
Ling Da Ye and Sun Shi were thinking of something, but no one knew what it was.
The danger has not yet passed and everyone remains silent, not making a sound.
......
It seems slow, but it's just a short moment.
Ling Jingxu was sandwiched between several bandits and walked to the second floor cabin.
The bandits who were originally in charge of guarding the little servant had a look of panic in their eyes, and hastily asked: "Second master, listen to the movement, can the rescue troops come? What should we do now?"
What else can be done?
Of course, withdraw first!
The second master gave a stern look at the bandit, and the bandit immediately understood, following closely behind.
"Miss." Bai Yu hastily ran over, her face covered in tear stains, but her expression was very determined: "Miss, I'll follow you wherever you go."
Ling Jingyu, who had been calm and composed all along, finally changed her expression when she saw Bai Yu: "Bai Yu, what are you doing here? Go back quickly."
Bai Yu, however, refused to leave and begged the second master, who looked like a fierce and evil spirit: "There are always people serving by the young lady's side, I am willing to follow and serve the young lady, I absolutely won't cause any trouble..."
"The second master's face was impatient: 'Honestly follow, don't make a sound.'"
Only seen abandoning their masters and fleeing for their lives, but this is the first time they've been driven out.
Bai Yu hurriedly wiped away her tears and walked over to Ling Jingxu's side.
Ling Jingxu knew that she couldn't drive away Bai Yu, and her heart was both anxious and moved. However, this wasn't the time for talking. These bandits were getting restless and uneasy; if they were provoked, they might really take the lives of the mistress and servant with one knife.
Never give up the chance of escape until the last moment!
Ling Jingyu walked while exchanging glances with Bai Yu.
The master and servant had a tacit understanding. Bai Yu almost immediately understood Ling Jingxuan's hint, and nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.
......
When the two masters and their party appeared on the deck, they were instantly pale with fright.
Six tall ships lined up in a row, surrounding this official ship and three civilian ships, with no way to escape.
Dozens of skilled subordinates were now completely subdued. Many had stopped breathing, and many more were wounded by arrows or knives, lying in a heap and wailing incessantly.
The reinforcements coming from the ship's board were only a few dozen, each holding a sharp blade, with piercing eyes.
There were even more reinforcements standing on the decks of those six ships, holding bows and arrows, pointing directly at them, sending chills down their spines.
It's done!
The second master's face lost all its color, and he felt a chill run through his entire body, as if there was no warmth left in him.
The cripple and others were also frightened until their legs became weak.
Where did this reinforcement come from? They are not ordinary guards, but real elite soldiers who have seen blood and killed people. The kind of confident and proud momentum that can be defeated by one person is impossible to pretend.
Miss, we're saved!
Bai Yu couldn't contain the joy in her heart and quickly looked towards Ling Jingxu.
Ling Jingxu furrowed her brow, and her heart sank.
So many reinforcements are of course a good thing. However, this group of bandits will have no hope of escape and may not spare those two women even more...
As expected, the second master shouted loudly and fiercely: "Who is your master? Let him come out to see us! Otherwise, I will take the lives of these two women right now!"
Ling Jing's heart tightened slightly.
The guards didn't move, except for one who turned and boarded the largest ship.
The waiting time was particularly unbearable. Ling Jingyu could clearly hear her rapid and disordered heartbeat.
Actually, she wasn't as strong as imagined, she was afraid of death and cherished her life.
Ling Jingxu smiled self-deprecatingly and raised her eyes, meeting a pair of cold, profound, and mysterious eyes.
