C942 Waiting for an Opportunity to Save the Damsel in Distress
Although the people on the ship knew that the Hundred Flower Palace and Dragon Tiger Association were about to attack, they didn't expect them to come so suddenly. Before they were fully prepared, the Mei brothers and Huang Qiuhui also hastily accepted the challenge. They could not take into account the overall situation and could only guard Guo Qingshan and his wife's cabins to wait for reinforcements. Just as they were in a critical moment, they suddenly heard Du Qi's shout, and the pressure immediately lightened. Knowing that powerful reinforcements had arrived, they could not help but be overjoyed. Just as they were about to greet Du Qi, suddenly, they heard an old woman shout, "Stop! All of you, stop right there! Otherwise, this old woman will kill this little girl!"
As soon as the old woman's voice faded, Fann Wencong and the other three people appeared beside Du Qi. Looking at Du Qi, Fann Wencong asked, "Mr. Du, what should we do?"
Du Qi said, "Wait for an opportunity to save her!"
Lin Wuming continued to ask, "How many people were caught by the criminals?"
Du Qi did not know how to answer Lin Wuming's question, so he could only look at Guo Yufang.
Guo Yufang was the clearest in her heart. She knew that Hundred Flower Palace and Dragon Tiger Association had joined hands to capture her and Yue Xiulian. Although she didn't have to worry about being protected by Yun Meng's four swords for the time being, she could tell that the situation was critical. She couldn't help but feel scared and worried. She saw that Du Qi had decided to save her regardless of the past. Guo Yufang could not help but be overjoyed. She wanted to go up and meet Du Qi, but she also seemed to be a little shy. Just as she did not know what to do, she saw Du Qi looking at her. Guo Yufang could only cover her panic and forced a smile, "I only know little sister Xiulian, but I don't know how many sailors and sailors fell into the hands of the criminals."
Hsu Yuvcai pondered and said, "Mr. Du, what about those criminals? How should we deal with them?"
Du Qi did not even think and said coldly, "The criminals in Hundred Flower Palace and Dragon Tiger Association have committed many evil deeds. Everyone has the right to punish them. We don't need to be lenient!"
Qin Yongzhi volunteered, "I will save them. You can handle those gangsters. What do you think, Mr. Du?"
Without waiting for Mr. Du to reply, Fann Wencong smiled and said, "Mr. Qin will save them. He will definitely succeed."
Du Qi said, "If that is the case, Mr. Qin will be in charge of saving them. However, there are many of them on the ship. They are scattered all over the ship. They are mixed among the passengers and workers on the ship. It is not easy to deal with them."
Mei Xiaoren suddenly had an idea and interrupted, "If we can get all the criminals off the ship, won't it be easy to deal with them?"
Mei Xiaotian said unhappily, "You are smart enough to think of such an impossible method."
Lin Wuming smiled and said, "This brother's idea is not bad. It is worth a try!"
Hsu Yuvcai continued, "This will depend on Mr. Du's ability."
Qin Yongzhi smiled and said, "I am only responsible for saving people. I don't have any ideas."
Seeing that Fan Lin, Xu Qing, and Wei Henian still had a long way to go, Du Qi thought that they had been stopped by the people from Hundred Flower Palace and Dragon Tiger Association. He could not help thinking and said, "Let's go out and take a look at the situation first."
Du Qi's guess was right. As soon as Fan Lin, Xu Qing, and Wei Henian boarded the ship, they were stopped by more than ten experts from Hundred Flower Palace and Dragon Tiger Association. They did not have the skills of Du Qi, Fann Wencong, and the other three. They could break through those people's blockade and enter the cabin with just their quick movement skills. They didn't dare to attack those people who blocked their way. They could only listen to the words of the old woman. They stayed where they were and did not dare to move.
Perhaps after seeing her for so long, no one paid any attention to her. First, they shouted at the old woman and then shouted, "Listen up, people on the boat. You have been surrounded by us. Hurry up and hand over that girl. If you do not fight, you will have to bear all the consequences!"
Du Qi and the others had just left the cabin when they heard the old woman's shout. They looked over and saw more than ten beautiful women in their twenties and thirties gathered on the front deck. Right in front of them were three old women in their sixties standing proudly. Judging from their appearances, the one who spoke was undoubtedly the old woman in the middle.
Yue Xiulian was in the middle of those women, being held hostage by a beautiful woman in her twenties. She seemed to have lost all strength in her body, and was even unable to stand stably. Her face was filled with panic, and her lifeless eyes were looking around. She saw Du Qi and the others. He could not help but be overjoyed. His spirit was also refreshed, but it became dull in an instant. He powerlessly lowered his head.
Seeing those people, Du Qi hurriedly whispered to Qin Yongzhi, who was beside him, "The one who kidnapped Miss Xiulian must be the Hundred Flower Palace's Bai Hua Fairy. Although their martial arts aren't high, their moves are strange and diabolical. Mr. Qin must be careful!"
Qin Yongzhi smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Du, don't worry. I don't take a mere girl seriously."
When the old woman saw the people on the ship finally appear, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Pointing at Guo Yufang, she shouted, "Quickly hand over that girl, and I will immediately lead the crowd and leave. I guarantee that I will not make things difficult for everyone. Otherwise, I will definitely destroy your ship and kill you all!"
Du Qi smiled and sighed, "There are quite a number of Hundred Flower Grandma in Hundred Flower Palace. There are actually three who are making a big fuss here. Sigh, whatever. As long as you let that girl go, I will let you live."
That old woman was one of the Hundred Flower Grandma in Hundred Flower Palace. When she heard this, she could not help but cry out angrily, "Who is this kid? How can you speak here? Quickly scram to the side and let a steward come out to talk to this old woman! "
Du Qi said with a smile, "I am the easiest person to talk to. If it was someone else, I wouldn't bother to waste my words with you women. What do you think of my suggestion?"
The old woman shouted angrily," Ignorant child, open your dog eyes and look. The people on this ship are all under our control. What right do you have to negotiate with me? "
Du Qi said with a smile." Oh? Looks like you guys are fearless?"
The old woman laughed proudly, "That's right! If you don't hand over that girl, I will order everyone on the ship to be killed. Then burn this ship, even if we can't kill you. We'll make Guo go bankrupt and have no place to live. "
Everyone knew that the old woman could do whatever she said. It was true that they couldn't stop the criminals from killing and arson in Hundred Flower Palace and Dragon Tiger Association. Even if they killed these people, they wouldn't be able to turn the situation around completely. Du Qi naturally knew how powerful it was, but he still smiled indifferently and said, "That girl is the only daughter of Landlord Guo, and she is his pillar of support. Losing her is equivalent to losing everything. It was obvious without thinking. No matter what, Landlord Guo will never give his only daughter to you. Why don't we each take a step back? You can let go of her and we will not pursue this matter any further. We will let you get off the boat safely. How about it? "
The old woman had already recognized Du Qi. It was just that she had not achieved her goal this time. That was why she pretended that she did not know about Du Qi's identity. Now, she saw that what Du Qi said made sense. Their reinforcements had yet to arrive, but they had already captured another person. As for the other person, as long as Du Qi and the others left the ship, they could capture him at any time.
