Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 17, Daiyu in my arms
However, after Fang Yong learned from Jia Yucun that this was the world of the Red Mansion, he quickly realized that the student Jia Yucun was talking about was Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu!

If possible, Fang Yong really doesn't want to miss it.

I hope it’s not too late!
Fang Yong picked up his sword and bow, dived into the water, and swam in the direction Jia Yucun pointed.

It was too late for the big ship to go there, so Fang Yong could only go ahead

Li Shengze led the others to follow behind.

In the water, Fang Yong can control the flow of water, has unlimited physical strength, and is faster than a fish.

In just a moment, Fang Yong saw the boat that Jia Yucun had mentioned.

But there were two boats on the field at this time, and he couldn't tell which one was the one Daiyu was on.

Fang Yong had no choice but to climb onto one of the boats, hacking and killing two rioters, and shouted loudly: "Where is Miss Lin? Come out quickly!"

Fang Yong's voice was very loud.

In the room, Daiyu and Xueyan both heard Fang Yong's voice.

Daiyu stood up immediately after hearing this.

Xueyan tried to dissuade him, "Young lady, don't do that! The thieves must have tricked you out!"

Daiyu thought quickly and calmly, then said:
"If a thief wants money, why would he deliberately trick me out? Besides, if he is a thief, how would he know my last name? I think it is not a thief, maybe someone else came to help. There is no time to lose. Even if I am tricked, I will only die!"

After saying this, Daiyu pushed open the door and walked out regardless of others trying to stop her.

After Fang Yong shouted several times, he kept paying close attention to the situation on the boat. If there was no response, he might have found the wrong boat, so he decided to go to another one to have a look.

Just then, a room on the second floor of the ship opened and a slender girl walked out.

The distance was a bit far, so he couldn't see her face clearly, but he could see that she was dressed noble and had a frail figure, as weak as a willow in the wind. Fang Yong was already 80% sure of her.

He rushed forward immediately.

But after Daiyu opened the door, she looked around and did not see anyone bringing help. Her face turned pale and she thought she had been fooled.

When the rioters on the deck below saw Daiyu appear, her fairy-like appearance instantly stimulated them, and countless people rushed frantically towards the second floor where Daiyu was.

One of them was very skilled. He climbed to the second floor with his bare hands in no time and rushed towards Daiyu with an obscene smile.

Seeing this, Daiyu raised the scissors and stabbed towards his throat in despair.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow brushed past Daiyu's ear, taking away a few strands of her hair, and then shot the person who rushed over to her dead.

Daiyu looked back in surprise, but before she could react, she was picked up.

Daiyu was startled, and just as she was about to move the hand holding the gold-wire scissors, the man waved his hand and snatched the scissors from Daiyu's hand. With one hand, the scissors were broken.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Lin. I'm here to save you!"

As Fang Yong spoke, he quickly retreated while holding Lin Daiyu in his arms.

Daiyu looked up from Fang Yong's arms and saw that he had a dignified appearance and a determined gaze, and did not look like a thief, so she temporarily put her mind at ease.

However, being held so closely by Fang Yong, Daiyu couldn't help but feel flustered.

The rioters rushed forward.

Fang Yong wielded the long sword in his hand with precise skills, easily killing several rioters.

Fang Yong was tall and Daiyu was very petite, so even if he held Daiyu in his arms it would not affect the fight much.

The rioters quickly realized how powerful Fang Yong was. They did not dare to fight with Fang Yong with knives, so they directly swung their knives at Daiyu in Fang Yong's arms.

Daiyu closed her eyes in fear.

Fang Yong simply blocked it with his arm, and the knife only cut the skin slightly.

The man was horrified when he saw this, and Fang Yong turned around and chopped him to death with his knife.

When Daiyu opened her eyes again, Fang Yong had successfully killed the thieves outside and took her back to the previous room.

"Your arms..."

Daiyu said worriedly.

A half-foot long wound appeared on Fang Yong's arm, and bright red blood kept dripping.

Fang Yong chuckled and said, "Miss Lin, don't worry, it's just a minor injury."

If the corpse outside the door heard this, it would definitely wake up.

It was such an injustice, he was only slightly injured...

Daiyu looked at Fang Yong's blood-stained arm and unconsciously put her hand on it, with a worried look on her face.

Fang Yong saw this and said:
"If Miss Lin is worried, please use a silk scarf to bandage it for me." Daiyu nodded: "Okay!"

But after a moment, there was no movement.

Fang Yong said: "What's wrong?"

Daiyu blushed and whispered:
"Put me down..."

After a while, Daiyu brought a silk scarf and bandaged Fang Yong's arm together with Xueyan.

Daiyu untied Fang Yong's robe, revealing half of his arms, and then wrapped them tightly with a silk scarf.

Snow Goose grumbled:
"Why should you do this kind of thing yourself, girl? I can do it."

Daiyu turned a deaf ear and carefully bandaged Fang Yong's wound.

However, the white and strong muscles on Fang Yong's arms made her face even redder.

After bandaging the wound, Fang Yong stood guard at the door with a large bow. If anyone approached, he would shoot them with an arrow.

The rioters outside were frightened by Fang Yong's killing and dared not come up again.

After a while, Li Sheng and others came with the tower ship, and they rushed up and quickly cleared out the rioters.

Fang Yongsui looked at Daiyu and said:

"It's all right now, my people are here, let's get out!"

Daiyu nodded slightly, but was a little hesitant.

Fang Yong didn't understand.

Xueyan reminded: "There are so many people outside, I'm afraid it's not convenient for my girl."

Fang Yong finally reacted.

It was indeed inconvenient for women of that era to meet men other than men. Even Sister Lian and I had only met a few times before we got engaged, let alone Daiyu.

Fang Yong thought for a moment, asked everyone to turn their backs, and then took Daiyu onto the boat.

After returning to the boat, Fang Yong arranged a special room for Daiyu on the boat, separated from the others and only next to himself, as a sign of respect.

Daiyu then bowed solemnly to Fang Yong and said,
"Thank you so much for saving my life!"

Fang Yong asked: "How should I repay you?"

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, and she raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly. For a moment she didn't know how to answer.

Fang Yong smiled and said:

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously. In the future, you don't have to call me benefactor, just call me by my name, Fang Yong. You can also call me... Third Brother, that's what they all call me."

Daiyu lowered her head and hummed softly.

Fang Yong saw that Daiyu's ears had turned red.

Fang Yongsui didn't want to stay any longer and chose to leave.

Daiyu stood up to see him off.

Fang Yong said: "No need, Miss Lin was frightened today, you should rest quickly. Besides, your ears are red!"

When Daiyu heard this, she quickly covered her ears.

But he covered his ears and his face turned red.

Seeing this, Fang Yong smiled and left.

The boat sailed back.
By the next day, we were almost in Cangzhou.

Jia Yucun came early to visit Fang Yong and thank him for saving him before.

"Thank you for your help yesterday, Shi Fei is very grateful. If you hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the hands of the thieves."

Fang Yong helped Jia Yucun up and said modestly:

"Mr. Jia, there is no need to be so polite. When we see injustice, we should help others. This is what people of our generation should do."

Upon hearing this, Jia Yucun became suspicious, thinking that what Fang Yong said did not seem like something a wealthy person would say.

Jia Yucun then asked tentatively:

"I haven't asked you your name yet, sir, and where is your hometown?"

Fang Yong smiled and said:
"To be honest with you, Mr. Jia, my last name is Fang and my given name is Yong. I don't have any hometown, but I lead a group of brothers to travel around the world and occupy the water veins of the world."

Jia Yucun was so shocked that the tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
