Chapter 52: Reinforcements 2

This is a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Thick eyebrows, a pair of cold and deep eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips make up an extremely handsome face.

He was dressed in a dark brocade robe, as if blending into the dark night. However, his temperament was too eye-catching. Even in the dim night, he was still eye-catching.

That was the nobleness that was born with him, and it was the bearing that only those who had been in a high position for a long time would have. When people saw him, they felt awe. They didn't even dare to look into those deep and unfathomable eyes.

He was so young that he would never be a high official of the court. And with so many skilled guards, it was obvious that this boy was definitely not an ordinary person...

Ling Jingshu secretly guessed the other party's identity and origin.

The other party's boat was a little higher, and the boy stood on the board, looking down on him. Leng Ning's sharp eyes also fell on the girl held hostage by the bandits.

The girl was obviously kidnapped in a hurry. She had no time to wash and dress up. She was only wearing a half-worn dress.

Her black hair was a little messy and scattered behind her. Her pretty face was a little pale, which made her eyes dark and bright and her red lips brighter.

She was like a peony waiting to bloom, emitting a dazzling color in the dark night, which made people unable to look away.

The leading bandit pointed a long knife at the girl's back. Strangely, the girl also had a dagger in her hand, and the sharp dagger was against her tender neck.

The kidnapped girl was unexpectedly calm.

The guards seemed to be looking straight ahead, but in fact they were looking at the girl from the corner of their eyes.

It was not their fault.

Even he couldn't help but take a second look at such a beautiful girl.

"You want to see me?" The black-clothed boy glanced at the second in command, raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and spoke indifferently, without hiding the contempt in his eyes.

......

From the moment the black-clothed youth appeared, the second in command knew that something was wrong.

Just by looking at the youth's demeanor, one could tell that his origin was definitely extraordinary. To put it bluntly, the battle-hardened self looked at the youth, and his knees weakened, and he felt desperate that he could not resist the other party.

The second in command suppressed his panic and shouted in a bluffing manner: "We are only seeking wealth, and no one was killed just now. But you killed people, which is simply vicious and cruel. Now retreat 20 miles by water, and I will lead my brothers to leave immediately."

Vicious and cruel?

The black-clothed youth did not get angry but laughed, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "It's really interesting. I have never heard anyone say this about me since I was a child!"

The head of the guards beside the black-clothed youth was full of anger, and he pulled out the long knife in his hand. Just as he was about to issue an order to kill these bandits, he was stopped by the black-clothed teenager:

"Wang Tong, wait a minute. These bandits are quite interesting. Let me ask a few more questions."

Quite interesting?

Ling Jingshu and the second in command glared at each other almost at the same time.

The second in command's dignity as a bandit was ruthlessly trampled into mud. For Ling Jingshu, the hope of being rescued was even smaller.

Although this black-clothed teenager, whose identity and origin were unknown, came to the rescue in time, he was by no means a kind-hearted person. He did not care about the lives of everyone on this official ship at all.

She must find a chance to save herself, otherwise, Ling Xiao will burn incense and paper for her on this day next year...

The black-clothed young man seemed not to see the anger in Ling Jingshu's eyes, and asked the second in command: "You keep saying that you only want money and don't want to hurt people. If that's the case, why do you and your men hold a weak girl hostage when you are empty-handed?"

The second in command suddenly felt like he was kneeling in the court, and answered subconsciously: "Before we had time to grab the gold and silver, we knew that the reinforcements were coming. That's why we held this young lady hostage, as long as we can save our lives."

After answering, he felt extremely annoyed. What evil has possessed him? What is there to fear about a young boy who has not grown all his hair yet and relies on his family's prestige to act recklessly.

The second in command's expression changed, and he sneered ferociously: "Do as I say now. Everyone retreat back to the boat and leave the 20-mile waterway. Let us go, otherwise, I will kill her now!"

As he said that, he exerted a little force with the long knife in his hand, and pierced through the thin clothes.

The cold tip of the knife was tightly against the skin. If he applied more force, it would pierce his back.

......

Ling Jingshu's pretty face became paler, but her heart gradually calmed down. She subconsciously tightened the dagger in her hand.

The bandits were panicking, and all their attention was on the ship in front of them. But they did not notice the subtle movement under the water.

A few guards who were familiar with water had quietly entered the water and quietly approached the official ship. They were just waiting for a sudden attack.

The black-clothed boy was attracting the attention of the bandits.

The black-clothed youth pulled the corner of his lips and said leisurely: "I don't know her at all, and her life or death has nothing to do with me. If you want to do it, just kill her now. Later, I will order the guards to shoot you to death with arrows, which can be regarded as revenge for her. She can rest in peace."

Second in command: "..."

Ling Jingshu: "..."

The black-clothed youth's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled and said: "Why don't you do it?"

The second in command's blood rushed to his head, and his temples were throbbing. He was repeatedly provoked by the black-clothed youth, and he almost wanted to kill Ling Jingshu at all costs.

However, there was still a trace of reason in his mind, and he resisted the impulse.

At the moment, Ling Jingshu was his only support and hope for escape. If he killed Ling Jingshu, he would be shot to death by arrows or hacked to death by swords.

At this moment, something strange happened.

The guards hiding under the water suddenly jumped onto the deck and rushed over with sharp blades in hand.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The guards who had been standing on the deck unmoved also released their arrows at this time.

The bandits were caught off guard and almost everyone was shot by arrows, screaming miserably. Those who were not shot in the vital parts were also killed by the guards who emerged from the water.

Several arrows were fired at the same time, attacking like raindrops. One of them brushed Ling Jingshu's cheek, and another pierced the hem of her skirt and brushed past her leg.

Ling Jingshu did not move at all, but her back was sweating coldly, and her palms were even more wet.

The second in command's arms and legs were all shot by arrows. He screamed miserably, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

However, he had been standing behind Ling Jingshu. As long as he took one more step forward, he could regain control of Ling Jingshu and still have a glimmer of hope...

Before the second in command took a step, Ling Jingshu turned around quickly, a cold and fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she raised the dagger in her hand.

Oops!

The second in command's pupils shrank sharply, and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

There was a sharp pain in his chest, and blood splattered.

The second in command fell down, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes wide open.
