I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Led by the county magistrate, the three men first went to the courtyard where the officials were recuperating. "In each of these three rooms, two officials were recuperating, and three others were seriously injured. In another courtyard, the doctor was on duty day and night.

There is nothing to ask now, please come in."

Pushing open the middle door, the layout of the room was obviously changed. The place where the desk was originally placed was changed into a bed. There was a square table at the entrance, and beds on both sides.

The two officers were leaning on the bed, wearing thin inner garments.

Seeing someone coming in, one of them recognized Qu Jin at a glance, and was a little surprised. He propped himself up and sat up straight, "General Qu?"

Qu Jin took a closer look and recognized the person, "He Shan."

"Yes, I didn't expect that the general still remembered me." He Shan, with a pale face, smiled slightly.

Xie Yunxiao walked to He Shan's bed, and Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin sat down at the square table.

He Shan also knew Xie Yunxiao and nodded, "Thank you, General."

"Well, how is the injury?" Xie Yunxiao asked.

He Shan raised his arm and pointed at his leg. "It's an external injury. My leg is broken, but the bone has been set. The doctor said it's healed and it won't affect me."

Xie Yunxiao looked at He Shan's injuries. His arm was bandaged and his calf was fixed with three wooden boards. "What happened at that time? Did you encounter the pirates in Binshui County?"

He Shan shook his head, "No, we haven't reached Binshui County yet. According to the itinerary, we will arrive at the dock of Binshui County early the next morning to replenish food, water and other supplies.

At the beginning of the Yin period, the pirates came aboard the boat.

"Get on the boat?" Xie Yunxiao caught the strange point and asked back.

He Shan was very sure, "Yes, they sneaked up, and they didn't notice anything before they got on the boat.

They were two small boats, moored on both sides of the big ship. It was late at night and dark all around. Their small boats had no lights, and…"

Before He Shan finished speaking, Jiang Yuan continued, "Plus it's late at night, the Yin hour, which is when people are most tired and when they sleep the deepest."

He Shan glanced at Jiang Yuan and hummed in a sullen voice, "Yes, I was not on duty that night, so I went to bed early in the cabin. General, you know that this group of gentlemen slept in a narrow cabin, and their snoring was louder than the sound of thunder.

I’m used to sleeping in this environment, and I can’t be woken up by even the slightest noise.”

Xie Yunxiao frowned, he knew it too well.

Qu Jin also looked accustomed to it, and so did Jiang Yuan. They followed all the way to the south, camping in the wild at night, and they heard a deafening noise coming from the tent.

"It was a brother who, with wounds all over his body, knocked on the cabin door, and everyone woke up one after another.

Without any clothes on, they rushed out with knives in their hands, and many of their brothers had already fallen in a pool of blood. "

"How many of them are there?"

He Shang thought about it and calculated in his mind, "I guess there are thirty or forty people."

"Two small boats, can there be thirty or forty people?"

"No, many of them are soaked. I guess they must have swam over from the water following the boat."

Qu Jin frowned and looked at Jiang Yuan, "You are a good swimmer. This waterway is the Pingjiang River. The river is 500 meters wide, and the narrowest part is 300 meters. The estuary is even wider, more than 1,000 meters.

The water depth ranged from three meters to unmeasurable, and it must be more than ten meters.

It is the largest and most important waterway in Dayu."

Jiang Yuan had read about the Pingjiang River in the local chronicles of Dayu. The counties and cities along the Pingjiang River were all very prosperous.

"The river flow rate should increase at night. These people are really good at swimming." Jiang Yuan said.

He Shan also agreed, "Yes, the girl is right, the water flow of Pingjiang River is faster at night than during the day, which is something no one expected.

In such a turbulent river, even if there are pirates, we should use a large ship, otherwise accidents are likely to happen.

But they just used two inconspicuous small boats to get here.

Several of us were injured. I fell into the sea after being injured. I struggled hard and grabbed the rope that fell from the sea, so I was not carried away by the river.

They had a tacit understanding. When they boarded the ship, they killed people first instead of looking for things. They only robbed things after the people on the ship were killed and tied up and lost their ability to move.

Someone sent a signal and I held onto a rope and floated not far from the ship. After the signal was sent, I saw many candles suddenly light up on both sides and six or seven small boats approached.

They moved the things away very quickly and quietly, and retreated. They looked very well-trained and professional. "

After He Shan finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

The three of them were thinking.

Qu Jin turned to the person on the other bed and asked, "Did you see the others?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "I, I saw the knife they used, and there was a bird pattern engraved on the handle. I don't know if it was a coincidence, because I saw the handle of a knife.

I was hit in the chest and passed out on the deck. Later, I woke up in a daze and saw the body of a pirate in front of me with a knife in his hand.

Just when I was about to take a closer look, the pirate was dragged away by his companions."

He Shan nodded hurriedly in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, when they left, they also took away the bodies of their companions."

He even cleaned up the battlefield, he's really professional, Jiang Yuan complained in his heart.

Afterwards, the three of them went to ask people in other rooms, and they all said similar things.

He also asked the people who were robbed. Unlike the officers, the people were trained after all.

The few surviving civilians were also seriously injured. They lay in bed, groaning constantly. When they saw the officials coming to question them, they cried and complained that the world was in chaos and that the people were having a hard time.

When talking about these things, they have a lot to say, but when asked about serious matters, they can't say anything.

It was just said that the bandits were masked and would chop anyone they saw. It was impossible to tell whether they were professional or not, and there were no clues.

Thinking of the situation of being robbed, they were still shaking like sieves, muttering to themselves that they were able to save their lives because of the good fortune they had accumulated in their previous lives.

Port transit counties like Binshui County are equipped with a separate army. In addition to the constables in the county government, every county has a garrison commander who leads a small number of people and is stationed there to be responsible for some security work.

The transit county at the dock has a separate army at the dock that is responsible for the inspection and security of docked ships.

After all, the goods are shipped to the capital. Any ship that can dock in Binshui County is definitely shipped to the capital. The cargo and personnel on the ship must be checked carefully.

The official ship did not appear at the dock the next day, which attracted the attention of the water conservancy garrison. They sent people to search along the river and found the official ship that had been robbed by bandits.

There was no one able to move on the official ship at the time, so the ship was moving forward with the help of the current and was almost reaching Binshui County, but it was later than expected.

Fortunately, they found it, otherwise there would be fewer survivors.
