Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

"Looks like trouble is coming."

The Black Stone Guards were all bare-chested, and dozens of them were squeezed into this small cabin. They looked excited when they heard Yongji's words.

"When can we get out? This small place is almost suffocating us."

"Who is the one who came here crying? The original plan was that the lady would only bring 80 guards with her when she went out. You guys who cut in line still have the nerve to talk."

Yongji was speechless. "The eighty places in the escort team were agreed upon. They were earned by our brothers based on their own abilities. Those who boarded the boat later should shut up. If you keep talking too much, you will just swim back."

It was only when they were about to reach Pingcheng that they discovered that there were twenty or thirty more people on the ship. Considering that the brothers were obsessed with guarding the lady, Yongji changed the number of the escort team to 110 people.

Fortunately, when Xie Xian went out, she promised Xie Changhuan that she would bring a hundred guards, but she did not say the exact number. For this reason, she also reduced the number of servants around the sisters.

Xie Xian knew very well that in ancient times it was necessary to bring more people with you when going out, and safety must be guaranteed.

So when Yongji reported that the guard team had 110 people just now, Xie Xian didn't say anything.

"We must act according to the order given by the Lady just now. The boat behind us is probably related to the gentleman on the second-floor terrace. But we are at sea. We can't say for sure if the enemy attacks us and doesn't want to leave anyone alive!"

Everyone got even more excited after hearing this. "It's good to leave no one alive. The brothers have been lying at home for three months and their bodies are covered with hair."

What they are best at at the border is the business of leaving no one alive. They are very familiar with this business!

A thin man nearby asked, "What did Cangtou say?"

"We are waiting for news from above. We will lower the anchor when the time comes. We will finish the work as soon as possible."

A few days ago, this group of people were so angry that they couldn't vent their anger for fear of displeasing the nobleman, so they could only take turns to work as boatmen to go up and get some fresh air.

"We haven't been discovered by those soldiers up there!"

"Don't worry, boss. The guards around the nobles don't have much ability, but they are quite arrogant. They are not noses and eyes, so how can they pay attention to us?"

Under the dim light, there were only a few people dressed as sailors in the cabin. Did the brothers usually go to the deck to work? No, they went to get some fresh air.

"Keep your voices down, don't scare people away." They were out of number, and most of the people on the boat behind were archers. There were only a dozen guards on the second floor, so those pirates had the courage to go up.

If they saw me and my nearly 100 soldiers, I guarantee that the pirates would turn around and run away. You must be kidding. The imperial navy only has about 100 people on a ship.

They are here to rob, not to die.

"Brothers, just be patient. Once they get close to us, we can all relax." Yongji nodded and thought to himself that if one boat was a bit crowded, it shouldn't be too crowded if there were two boats.

Little did he know that his idea coincided with Xie Xian's.

"Are the boat behind us really pirates?" Xie Xian was still a little worried. If it was a revenge killing, no noble family would be stupid enough to use their own boat to commit the crime!

Qingdai was speechless, "If the boat behind us catches up, we will be in danger."

Xie Xian waved her hand, "Are the sisters settled?" She had just asked Qingdai to notify the Xie sisters to gather together in the cabin next to the cabin door.

"We went, but that place is where the boatmen usually eat, so..." Qingdai thought that the ladies didn't look too happy, but they went there obediently, so she didn't say anything.

"There are so many people here, just reach out and clean them up. That's the safest place." Xie Xian said calmly.

The wood in the cabin had turned black due to years of smoke and fire, and there was a faint fishy smell in the room, which was much filthier than the cabin upstairs.

"It stinks! What's going on today that suddenly requires us to gather here?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"I heard that there were pirates attacking," Xie Yao said calmly.

The girls were shocked: "Where's my sister?"

"It was Sister who brought us together here."

"Well, Sister Xian should have a way. We shouldn't hold her back." After spending a few days together, everyone in the Xie family had more and more trust in Xie Xian.

"Everyone, please clean up the surroundings, and make sure the ropes around your waists are tied tightly." When Xie Xian was not around, Xie Yao became the group's backbone.

Soon, Wang Yu, Ma Rong and Qian Yuanxiang from upstairs also came, and Xie Yao welcomed them in.

Wang Yu came in and looked at the ordinary kitchen cabin. Without changing his expression, he asked Xie Yao, "Where's Sister Xian?"

"I don't know. Sister gathered us together for the convenience of protection." Besides them, there was also the person upstairs, but that person never showed up, and no one knew what Sister would do.

In the corridor of the cabin on the second floor, as Xie Xian reached the stairs, she was greeted by four guards who were staring at her with murderous eyes.

Xie Xian had a playful expression on her face, and it seemed that she was really here for the noble person on this boat.

She bowed and said, "Xian came here just to make a statement. I have gathered all the ladies in the cabin on the first floor." As for whether this distinguished guest goes or not, that is your business.

And to Li You and the others, her words meant that Xie Xian had gathered the girls together, waiting to borrow the guards from the prince.

At this moment, all the ladies have become bargaining chips in Xie Xian's hands. Their twenty guards can barely protect the prince. If they don't care about the ladies downstairs, the prince's reputation will be ruined.

The daughter of the Xie family is very resourceful.

Xie Xian looked at the expressions on their faces changing, but no one answered. She felt confused and thought, "Are you going to reply or not?"

She was about to turn around when the door in front of her opened and a pale young man looked over with a gloomy and depressed expression.

Xie Xian recalled that she seemed to have seen him on the second floor a day ago, and she knew in her heart that this was the noble person who had been long awaited.

Her words had been conveyed, and the pirates were not coming for her. They also had twenty soldiers with them, so they probably didn't need her help.

So she smiled at Li You and went downstairs briskly. She couldn't wipe it off because the wave was getting bigger. Fortunately, she had almost vomited all the time. Xie Xian was afraid that if she said a few more words, she would spit in someone's face.

That's not very polite.

"This is too much. I thought she could tell the story of White Snake and that she was a lady with an open-minded personality, but I didn't expect her to be such a sinister and cunning person." Bu Yu said indignantly.

"Shut up, she probably has guessed that the pirates behind are coming for me." Just now, several people were struggling over whether or not to include the girls in the circle of protection.

"But acting in this way will force you to protect the girls." And the prince hated being forced the most.

The black-clad guard pondered for a while. The footsteps of Xie Xian when she went downstairs just now were a little messy, but it seemed that the lady of the Xie family had no martial arts skills.

He took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "Why don't you accept the invitation of the Lady of the Xie Family and stay with the ladies?"
