C194 A Thief Suddenly Appeared

Because of that, Yang Yinglong slowly revealed his true colors without any scruples. He said what he was thinking, but he didn't dare to make a move on the ship. He had no choice but to calm Du Qi down and wait for an opportunity. He hurriedly smiled and said, "My dear brother's words are reasonable. Besides, we two brothers have already agreed on this beforehand. Naturally, we will not go against it. "

Feeling the killing intent in Yang Yinglong's heart, Du Qi did not expose it. He still smiled and said, "Young Master Yang, do you know Miss Ma's background?"

Yang Yinglong rushed out and said, "Of course I do. If I don't even know this, I..."

Du Qi still smiled and said, "Oh? Why did Young Master Yang suddenly stop talking?"

He stared at Du Qi somewhat angrily, but Yang Yinglong smiled apologetically and said, "There's nothing that you can't say. It's just that I really don't know much. I don't know where to start, so I don't dare to say anything. Younger brother, don't worry!"

Du Qi looked at the battle ship that was getting closer and closer behind him and said," Does Young Master Yang know who is chasing us? "

Yang Yinglong said without thinking, "Since it is a warship of Jijiang Province, and it is also the flag of an official soldier, it must be an official soldier. Brother, you don't even know this basic common sense?"

Du Qi smiled and said, "If Young Master Yang wanted to hide his whereabouts and seize the warship to chase after others, would he take off the flag on the warship and change his name?"

Hearing this, Yang Yinglong was stunned and said in surprise, "Did you say that the person chasing us was not an official soldier?"

Du Qi said, "We just set out from Jiujiang, no matter what the situation on the ship is, if Branch Leader Dongfang came forward to explain the mediation, why did the soldiers chase us? Besides, although those people on the deck were wearing the uniform of the soldiers, it was obvious that they were impersonators. Therefore, it is not the soldiers chasing after us."

Yang Yinglong was surprised and said, "Younger brother, you can actually see the situation on the ship clearly?"

Du Qi did not answer Yang Yinglong's question. He said again, "That warship is faster than us. It seems a fierce battle is inevitable. Sigh!"

Hearing Du Qi's words, Yang Yinglong looked at the warship again. He found that its momentum was really swift and fierce, as if it was going to sink their ship in one go. When he felt this momentum, he saw the heads on the deck surge. Countless shiny weapons sparkled under the sunlight, and Yang Yinglong could not help but feel a chill from the bottom of his heart. He felt guilty and didn't dare to make a sound.

With the sound of footsteps, a group of more than twenty people walked over. Xiangdong, Wang Changliang, Liu Haiting, and Lu Lei, the four elders, were also in the line. Everyone came to Du Qi and Yang Yinglong's side. One of them was a stout man in his forties, wearing the uniform of Camel Horse Gang, with three golden horse hooves embroidered on his chest, and a long sword at his waist. He bowed to Du Qi and Yang Yinglong and said, "The boatman, Lin Mu, greets the two young masters."

Du Qi said, "The boatman Lin Mu is exempt from the formalities. Please lead the troops to meet the enemy. We will be at your command!"

The Camel Horse Gang's ships were all modified from warships. As long as there were enough people, they could participate in the battle with just a little bit of preparation. Due to the special mission this time, in order to prevent accidents, they had already arranged enough manpower on the ship. It was enough to deal with any unforeseen circumstances, so when they saw a ship catching up to them and causing trouble... That was why Du Qi was so sure.

Lin Mu was good at water battles, so he naturally wouldn't hesitate to command the enemy. Hearing Du Qi's words, he could not help but be overjoyed and said, "Young Master Xie!" After saying this, he quickly arranged for the people who came with him to meet the enemy. Including Xiangdong and the other three, they all received their orders and left, leaving only two people who passed down the orders to stand behind Lin Mu.

When Yang Yinglong saw that the people from the Camel Horse Gang seemed to be very interested in Du Qi, he couldn't help but feel surprised. At the same time, he felt even more indignant in his heart, but he didn't know anything about this kind of confrontation between two armies. At this time, he could not say anything and could only stare blankly at the trees setting up sentry posts. He ordered people to set up flags to give orders and arrange people to pass orders.

At this time, the warship with the Jijiang Province navy flag had already caught up. From afar, he heard someone shout, "Stop the ship! Quickly stop the ship for inspection!"

Lin Mu ordered the ship to slow down as he shouted, "We are a passenger ship of the Camel Horse Gang. I am Lin Mu. I hope that the bosses of the Camel Horse Gang can give us a ride so that we can meet again in the future!"

One of the people on the ship shouted, "Cut the crap. Quickly stop the ship and let the elders check the ship. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

While they were talking, the boat had already drifted downstream along the river, maintaining a distance of more than 100 feet. The people on the boat seemed to be forced to board their boat at any time.

Taking advantage of the time when the boat caught up, Lin Mu explained to Du Qi and the others, "On the side of the boat next to the boat, there are 237 brothers. They were divided into groups. Four rows. The first row is a shield-bearer holding a large wooden shield the height of half a person. It was used to block the arrows of the enemy. The second row was a blade-wielding spearman, used to block and kill enemies who forcefully boarded the ship; the third and fourth rows were full of archers. It was used to attack the enemy from a long distance; it was the main force in the water; the important positions behind them and high up were: There were also dozens of catapults and crossbows, which were commonly used long-range weapons in naval warfare. Each of the fifty brothers will be in charge."

After a pause, Lin Mu continued: "Regrettably, our ship has two cannons at the bow of the ship. It doesn't look like a ship. There are a total of 29 cannons at the front and back, and our ship is much smaller than the incoming ship. Even the commonly used weapons are far inferior to the quality of the ship. The number of people fighting can't be compared, obviously. We are at a disadvantage, and if we want to defeat the enemy, it's hard to do it without paying a price. "

Hearing Lin Mu's introduction, Yang Yinglong still didn't mind, but Du Qi couldn't help but be shocked. All this time, no matter where or when, there had never been an army that stopped people, carriages, horses, and boats from the Camel Horse Gang. Now, the local warship of the Jijiang Province had made an exception and chased after them. It didn't stop them from yelling and yelling. Its tone was aggressive, and the people on the ship were not soldiers. However, it dared to openly steal the flag of the soldiers. It was not difficult to guess its intention.

Lin Mu didn't have Du Qi's knowledge, so he still thought that the person on the ship was a soldier. Hearing the words of the person on the ship, he couldn't help but feel slightly angry. However, since the ship didn't attack immediately, he could only endure and deal with them, hoping that they could safely get through this disaster. Thus, he said again, "I am Lin Mu of the Camel Horse Gang. I have always abided by the law. Now, I am going out of the ship as an example. Boss, please be magnanimous. "

While Lin Mu was talking to that person, Du Qi whispered to Looh Miaoer, "Miaoer, do you see the man in his 40s who is wearing a white short-sleeved shirt among the dozen people on the other side's boat?"

Looh Miaoer also said in a low voice, "It seems that he is the leader of those people."

Du Qi said, "We must capture the leader of the bandits first. Is Miaoer confident?"

Looh Miaoer said, "Young Master, rest assured. As long as we do not capture him, it should not be a problem to control him there. However, I have to start a massacre!"
