Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

The system has no ready-made weapons.

Shen Zheng had seen it as early as when she was in her room.

"Boom-"

This was the third time the ship had been hit. Judging from the noise outside, there must have been enemies climbing onto the ship.

"Ding--"

It's not the system, there is a feather arrow outside, nailed to the wooden wall. Fortunately, the wall is made of thickened board, and ordinary arrows can't penetrate it.

Shen Zheng had been in Da Zhou for more than a year, and this was her first time experiencing an assassination attempt, but she was surprisingly calm.

The assassination that was supposed to happen didn't come, and she was always worried. Now that the "long-awaited" assassination has come, she feels that it should be like this.

Compared to the noise outside, the room was very quiet, even a little scary.

Xue Mai had been standing outside the door, speaking out to comfort them from time to time, and also to make sure they were safe.

Shen Zheng felt like she had suddenly come to her senses. She asked Yu Shizhang, "Master, tell me, why don't they just use kerosene to attack the ship? If their target is just us, wouldn't it be better to just burn the entire ship?"

For example, if the feather arrow just now was replaced with a rocket, would the effect be better?

Shen Zheng's words opened Yu Shizhang's mind.

He listened attentively to the fighting on the deck and finally confirmed one thing: "Perhaps they want to capture us alive."

Shen Zheng laughed.

If captured alive, she would be more valuable than Yu Shizhang.

So she is the other party's main target.

"Boom-"

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound outside, as if something heavy had hit the deck of the boat. Even the candlelight in the room swayed twice.

Immediately afterwards, there were the sounds of Xue Mai's angry roar and the clash of weapons, mixed in with the groans of someone being injured.

Yu Shizhang stared at the door, then stood up and stretched out his arms to protect Shen Zheng behind him.

As she moved her feet, Shen Zheng felt that she stepped on something. She slowly lowered her head and looked - there were traces of blood seeping in from under the crack of the door, and they stepped on it, blocking their way.

The blood is not bright red, but dark red.

This could be the enemy's blood, or it could be the blood of Xue Mai and others.

Shen Zheng clenched her fists, firmly and powerfully, and protected Yu Shizhang behind her.

Yu Shizhang wanted to snatch it from her, but she seemed to be nailed to the ground and could not be moved no matter how hard he pushed.

He roared angrily, his voice trembling: "Get out of the way!"

Shen Zheng took off her outer robe and used it to block the gap in the door, which also blocked the blood that was seeping in.

The light-colored robe was gradually stained red, and the bloodstains were like spider silk, corroding the veins of the fabric. She said without turning her head, "No!"

Just as the two were in a stalemate, Xue Mai's voice came: "Lang Jiang——!"

Yu Jiusi is here!

Shen Zheng loosened his fists a little and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Jiusi's arrival meant that the situation on the deck had stabilized and the battlefield had shrunk, which was a good thing for them.

In the room, Yu Jiusi could only be heard shouting angrily, "Catch them all alive! I don't mind cutting off their hands or feet! Return to the capital and reward them according to their merits!"

“Yes——!” A loud response broke through the darkness.

Judging from the depth of the voice, they should not have suffered many casualties.

The sound of swords rises, the sound of swords falls, the dust rises, the dust falls.

The moment Yu Jiusi knocked on their door, Shen Zheng's whole body went limp, as if she had just finished a marathon, with weakness in her hands and feet.

"Grandfather, Lord Shen, are you okay?" Yu Jiusi asked outside the door.

Now that everything has settled, everything that happened tonight seems like a dream.

It was clearly safe, but Yu Shizhang was angry.

He didn't even look at Shen Zheng, kicked away the clothes that were blocking the blood on the ground, and opened the door with a "click".

The door opened and a breeze blew up Shen Zheng's hair.

Outside the door, Yu Jiusi's sword had not yet been sheathed, there were spots of blood on his armor, and even his cheeks were stained with blood.

Yu Shizhang retracted his leg which he had just raised.

His hands were shaking slightly as he tried to wipe the blood off Yu Jiusi's face. Yu Jiusi raised his wrist and wiped it away casually, grinning, "It's not my grandson's. I'm not injured. It's the blood of these bastards."

Shen Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She stood behind Yu Shizhang and asked, "Are there any casualties among our people?"

Yu Jiusi wiped the blood off the sword with his sleeve and put the sharp sword back into the sheath.

"We haven't checked them yet." He glanced inside the house and walked toward the deck. "No one should be dead, but in a fight... injuries are inevitable. We have Doctor Li on board, so we don't have to worry."

What's more, their men were all wearing armor, which gave them an extra layer of protection over the other side.

Shen Zheng was protected by Xue Mai and went back to her room to put on a coat.

The torches on the deck were lit, and the people on the ship gathered together under the protection of the soldiers.

Liang Fu and the others even lifted their robes and ran away, and hurriedly asked Shen Zheng and Yu Shizhang: "Are you okay? These people are coming for you, are you injured?"

Yu Nanshu’s face turned pale and she held onto Shen Zheng’s sleeve, unwilling to let go.

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Zheng touched her head and comforted her: "Your brother is very powerful. He killed the other party and made him flee in panic."

"They really fled in desperation." Yu Jiusi looked at the abandoned dock getting farther and farther away with a gloomy look on his face. "Some people saw that the situation was not good and jumped off the boat and ran away. We only caught some of them alive."

On the dock, two dark figures flashed by, and Shen Zheng frowned when she saw them.

Not right.

"Search the boat!" She immediately said to everyone, "Everyone gather on the deck, don't go back to your rooms. Wait until General Yu finishes searching the boat, then we can go back to our rooms!"

Yu Jiusi also reacted immediately.

If he were the enemy, he would definitely have a backup plan if his first strike failed.

If the backhand is successful, it is a sure win!

"Xue Mai!" He called Xue Mai in a stern voice, "Protect everyone. No matter what happens, do not act rashly before I come back!"

Xue Mai gritted his teeth and nodded, then led a few soldiers to protect everyone in the middle.

Even Fang Ziyan, who was usually the noisiest, kept his mouth shut and looked around alertly.

For a moment, the only sounds on the boat were breathing and footsteps.

Suddenly, a scream was heard.

"Where's Ah Hui! Brother! Where's Ah Hui! Isn't Ah Hui with you?"

The crowd suddenly became commotion.

Shen Zheng looked in the firelight and saw a woman with her back to them, anxiously shaking the arm of the helmsman Yang Shao, "Isn't Ah Hui steering with you in the wheelhouse? Brother, talk to him! Where is he? Where is he? Did something happen to him?"

But after a moment, Shen Zheng recognized the crying woman.

The woman's name was Xu Ye, and she was Yang Hui's wife. She and Yang Hui had a daughter, who also stayed in the county school for enlightenment.

Yang Hui is the cousin of helmsman Yang Shao and can be regarded as the deputy helmsman on the ship.

But now...

Yang Hui is missing?

Countless questions surged into everyone's mind.

——Did Yang Hui hide because he was afraid? Or...did he encounter an accident?

——Is he... still on the boat?
