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

Before nightfall, dark clouds had blocked out the last ray of light, and raindrops hit the window frames with a crackling sound.

The wind and waves were strong and the boat was shaking even more violently. When Xie Xian opened the door, she was greeted by the concerned or worried looks of the girls.

"Sister! Are there really pirates?" the young girl finally asked, her voice trembling.

The timid ones even cried out loud, and the wind and rain outside made this moment seem so long.

Xie Xian grinned: "Sister has been busy for a long time and you don't even give me a sip of water to drink?" The slightly frivolous words made everyone feel relieved.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Lightning flashed outside the window and shone on the Wangshan leopard jacket on Xie Xian's chest.

Looking at Xie Minyan's worried face, Xie Xian comforted her softly. Looking around, Wang Yu and the others looked calm, much better than she had imagined.

Xie Xian smiled gratefully, she was indeed the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, with such grace and bearing, none of her sisters could compare to her.

What she was worried about now was whether the other party would feel that the weather was too bad and give up catching up.

This Fujian ship does not have an advantage in speed because it is a cargo ship sailing on the river.

The hard-boned sails on it are not as flexible as those of a small boat on the sea.

Just now she went upstairs to investigate and confirmed that it was the big shot on her ship.

In the rain, the bloated cargo ship headed towards the inland sea, and not far behind it, an eight-slot ship that was slightly smaller than it was following closely.

"Boss, hurry up and do it. This kind of weather is really rare. I heard that there are many noble ladies on that ship. You must let go when the time comes and let the brothers have fun!"

The captain wiped the rain off his face and stared at the cargo ship in front of him with greed in his eyes: "We only want the prince of Xiang, as for the others, we will leave no one alive. We will see how the brothers perform when the time comes."

A bunch of pirates were laughing and frolicking.

"Are you sure there are only twenty soldiers on that ship?" the captain asked again worriedly.

"Don't worry, Boss. The news was just picked up by them. It can't be wrong."

"It is said that those soldiers are now guarding Prince Xiang. Hehe, they don't even care about the young ladies!"

A group of pirates were ready to make a move. They had been begging for food on the sea for years, with their heads hanging on their belts and they were extremely courageous.

It's just about capturing a prince. As long as the imperial court doesn't send out the navy to pursue him, the others are not afraid. They can just hide on a small island overseas and no one can find them.

Once the storm is over, you can come out and enjoy yourself again.

The sails turned, causing the ship to accelerate suddenly. "Brothers, whether we eat meat or rice bran in the second half of the year depends on this."

At the bottom of the cargo ship, in the hot and narrow cargo hold, Yongji kicked the hunched figure and said calmly, "Has the barrel that Haozi mentioned been put away?"

"Yes, we put the message in the barrel as he said. The brothers were afraid that the boats behind us wouldn't see it, so they changed to a bigger barrel."

"This grandson is also a tiger. He put the wooden barrel in front of us. Does he think our brothers are dead?" The person who spoke looked at the person lying on the ground with contempt.

Yongji nodded, "I think the other party is about to be unable to hold it anymore. Everyone, put on what you need to wear. Don't hurt your hands just to catch a few mice."

"promise!"

In the cabin downstairs, the Black Stone Guards were distributing swords and putting on armor, but upstairs Xie Xian was receiving guests.

In the kitchen cabin on the first floor, the prince of Xiangwang, who was sitting opposite, could hardly hide his noble aura even in the simple cabin.

"My husband is willing to send out twenty soldiers to protect all the ladies." Bu Yu stepped out from behind Li You, his voice sharp and shrill with a condescending tone.

Wang Yu and the others' eyes lit up: "We are very grateful to Mr. Li for helping us!"

All the girls bowed and saluted, but Xie Xian seemed to be glued to the stool, unable to move.

This big trouble came to me. Xie Xian was unhappy, and said bluntly: "Oh? Mr. Li is really so kind?"

"Can you tell me who the pirates behind are coming for?" She doesn't indulge anyone.

Everyone present's expression changed slightly when they heard this.

Li You felt uncomfortable in his throat when the cold wind blew just now, and his face turned pale, as if he was angry.

Wang Yu, Ma Rong and other girls actually knew in their hearts that the pirates behind them must have been caused by Prince Xiang, but their status was much different from that of Li You.

Since Li You is willing to help, we should naturally be grateful. If he is unwilling to help, we can only blame ourselves for our bad luck.

But what no one expected was that Xie Xian, a lady from a second-rate family, was so tough that she tore his face and stepped on him a few times.

Bu Yu said angrily, "How dare you! How dare you!"

Xie Xian didn't even look at him, and Qingdai beside her rolled her eyes at him without any fear.

Everyone lowered their heads and couldn't help wanting to laugh.

The black-clad guard lowered his head and twitched his lips. He was anxious in his heart. This Bu Yu was too unreliable. We need help from him, but now instead of trying to ease the relationship, he is putting on airs.

"You uneducated young ladies..." Bu Yu wanted to say a few more words, but was frightened by the look in Xie Xian's eyes and stopped talking.

Xie Xian put away the smile on her face, her solemn expression showing that she was not easy to mess with, and a faint sense of solemnity spread.

Everyone looked at the two groups of people confronting each other in front of them, their hearts pounding. Sister Xian is so brave, what should they do if they like her even more?

Bu Yu glanced at Li You, and the arrogant look on his face gradually disappeared: "My son, I know that I feel guilty, so I am willing to fight the enemy together with you."

His tone was much better, but Xie Xian still had no expression.

Qing Dai curled her lips and said, "In a war, who doesn't want to find a few more cannon fodder?"

She followed Xie Xian, and in addition to attending elementary school courses, she also learned a lot about the Thirty-Six Stratagems of the Black Stone Guard and various military tactics.

Bu Yu was so angry that veins popped out. In the past few days, he only heard the lady of the Xie family speak humorously, but he didn't expect that the female official next to her was so sharp.

"Wow, Qingdai is really amazing. As expected, she follows Sister Xian and even knows about marching and fighting."

The girls' eyes turned to Xie Xian and the people opposite them.

Bu Yu, who was used to intimidation and coercion, failed, and the black-clad guards behind him had to stand up.

"The eunuchs in the palace have narrow vision and their words are often offensive. Please don't blame me, my lady." As the commander of the guards in the Prince's Palace, he has some face in front of the prince, so he regards himself as an old man in the palace and no one can say anything.

My master is weak and now he is so angry that he can't speak.

"I wonder what conditions the Lady Xie has?" At this moment, there are pirates chasing them, but the Lady Xie can still stand here as steady as a rock and bargain with them. This kind of character is worthy of being a heroine.

Seeing that the other party finally got to the point, Xie Xian tilted her head and glanced at him.

You should have said it earlier. You had to beat around the bush and only behaved after being scolded.

She patted the chair in front of her and said, "Let your master sit here," and don't run around.
