Chapter 208 Rescue Wei Bo 2
Chapter 208 Rescue Wei Bo 2
There is no moon tonight, and only the stars can be seen twinkling in the darkness. If Song Ying did not have the bonus of clairvoyance, he would definitely not be able to see clearly that there are three ships on the water in the southwest direction following them.
Those three ships did not have lights like the one he was on. Without their lights on, they followed him like shadows.
Song Ying ran down to the cabin directly, found Wei Bozhi's room, and knocked on the door.
The person who came to open the door was Wu Jingshu, a guard beside Wei Bozhi. His name sounded gentle but he was actually very tall and strong. When Song Ying saw him, he felt like there was a wall in front of him.
"General Wei, I have made some discoveries."
Song Ying walked into the room and spoke directly without any reservations. The other party was following them anyway, so they were just looking for an opportunity to come up.
Wu Jingshu, who was standing by, thought that Song Ying had some secret to tell Wei Bozhi, so he went out after Song Ying entered the room and closed the door considerately.
Song Ying looked at Wei Bozhi, who was dressed in a blue shirt in the room. He couldn't tell at all that he was a general. Instead, he looked more like a scholar.
"There are three boats following behind, but they don't light their lights."
If Wei Bozhi didn't believe what Song Ying said and wanted to go up to see, he might not be able to see anything, after all, it was really dark today.
"Miss Chu, can you fight in water?"
Wei Bozhi's question made Song Ying a little confused. Chu Pei really didn't know how to fight a naval battle. Her father Chu Jin knew how to do it, but she never liked leading troops and instead liked to go out to travel, so she didn't learn anything about it.
"No, and even if I could, this passenger ship wouldn't be able to do anything."
Song Ying was searching through Chu Pei's memories. Although Chu Pei didn't know how to do it due to the influence of his surroundings, he still had some insights in this area.
"The current in the river ahead is faster than it is now, so they probably won't attack there. They would be in danger in that position too.
Song Ying analyzed it by comparing it with the water map he had just seen.
"This stretch of road is the most suitable now. The width around it is suitable for them to come up and block the boat."
The window of Wei Bozhi's room could see the southwest direction. Song Ying simply pushed the window open and leaned out to take a look at the situation of the three ships behind.
Their ship was getting closer and closer, and they could see that they were speeding up. Song Ying frowned and lowered the window.
"They're coming up."
Song Ying told Wei Bozhi what he had seen, and he also opened the window to take a look.
"Jingshu, come in."
Wei Bozhi called out to the people outside, and the tall figure appeared in the cabin again, making the originally spacious cabin seem much smaller.
"What do you want, General?"
Wu Jingshu bowed to Wei Bozhi and asked.
"Pass the order to turn off the lights and speed up. There are ships chasing us from behind."
After Wei Bozhi gave a brief explanation, Wu Jingshu went out to give orders. He had no time to care about much else as he had to escape for his life.
Song Ying thought that the mission asked her to rescue Wei Bozhi, so something must have happened to this man tonight. She sat directly on a chair in the cabin, looking like she was not going anywhere.
Wei Bozhi didn't say anything. He thought Song Ying might be scared, so he let Song Ying stay.
Song Ying, who had some free time, looked at the cabin and saw Wei Bozhi's sword on the knife rack next to it. It should have been placed there after he came in.
This scabbard is the same as the one in her backpack. This knife has probably been with Wei Bozhi for many years.
Wei Bozhi extinguished the candle next to him and stood up to extinguish the candle near him. Song Ying saw his actions, came to her senses, and began to blow out the candle next to her.
There were not many candles in the room. When Wei Bozhi blew out the last candle, he picked up his knife.
"Who does General Wei think it is?"
Song Ying felt that she had too little information at the moment. In fact, she first suspected Princess Gaoyang, but what if it was Emperor Jingyuan?
"Who does Miss Chu think it is?"
Wei Bozhi did not answer but threw the question back to Song Ying.
It would be inappropriate for Song Ying to give any answer at this time. In fact, she regretted it the moment she asked this question. Such a question was not very consistent with Chu Pei's character, and the Chu family was on the side of Emperor Jingyuan to a certain extent.
"It's bandits. Actually, there have been bandits along this stretch of water for quite some time. My father wanted to wipe them out, but unfortunately he couldn't find their lair."
What Song Ying said was not false. There were indeed pirates here, but they were actually members of the Chu family. They were used to do shameful things. But the boat behind was definitely not from the Chu family.
Wu Jingshu, who had gone to order the security, came back with a few guards.
Song Ying saw that they had come back and still hadn't left. At this moment the boat seemed to be hit and was shaking violently.
Song Ying opened the window and looked out. A ship had already hit them. This action was definitely not from pirates. They were trying to keep everyone away from going ashore.
"They hit it with a boat, I'm afraid they weren't pirates."
Song Ying was talking as she watched, and just when she wanted to pull back, she saw a flash of cold light from the corner of her eye. Song Ying subconsciously drew her knife to block it, and after the two knives collided, Song Ying was pressed against the window.
Song Ying, who had turned around at this time, saw the situation in the room clearly. Wei Bozhi had already started fighting with the people Wu Jingshu had brought over before. He was not at a disadvantage at all in a one-on-three situation.
Song Ying was facing Wu Jingshu, a tall and strong man who naturally had great strength.
In the darkness, Song Ying saw the smile on Wu Jingshu's face. Song Ying was very familiar with this trick of bribing people. It was Princess Gaoyang's favorite method.
"What benefits did Princess Gaoyang give you to make you betray General Wei like this?"
Song Ying did not hide it and pointed it out directly. Wu Jingshu's face immediately turned into surprise. He never expected that someone would guess it.
"Heh, guess what the princess gave me?"
Wu Jingshu said with some pressure that Song Ying was already half outside, and he was really glad that the boat outside did not shoot arrows, otherwise she would have nowhere to hide.
She is here using someone else's identity now, and the effect of the protective suit has not come all the way here. However, before coming here, Song Ying put on a protective armor for herself, but she didn't have time to give one to Wei Bozhi just now, and if she got injured later, it would waste her medicine.
While he was thinking about how to escape, the boat shook again. Wu Jingshu was caught off guard and loosened his grip. Song Ying squatted down and rolled towards Wei Bozhi. After stabilizing his body, Song Ying took out a crossbow and shot directly in the direction of Wu Jingshu.
In the bumpy darkness, when Wu Jingshu saw the arrow coming at him, it was too late to dodge.
Song Ying shot Wu Jingshu with his crossbow continuously. Every arrow penetrated his flesh and he could feel the hot blood splashing.
Afterwards, Song Ying changed his target and started shooting at the few people who attacked Wei Bozhi. He shot randomly. Wei Bozhi also knew what Song Ying was doing and specially reserved a position for Song Ying to shoot during the fight.
Several more arrows pierced the flesh. Regardless of whether the opponent was dead or not, he was definitely injured.
