"Master Jun, I'm just an ordinary tea merchant—" the fat merchant cried loudly.

Yiser waved to the soldiers behind him, indicating to attack. The ship was full of experts brought by Marquis Wu An, and they lined up in an instant to attack with arrows.

With a rustle, arrows rained down, and the merchant ship was directly tied into a hedgehog.

The fat businessman crawled and hid in the cabin.

After shooting a wave of arrows, Esther waved the flag in his hand to signal the big ship to approach the merchant ship, and when they were within a certain range, he threw a rope and boarded the ship to attack.

The people on the merchant ship clearly saw Esther's intentions.

A well-built man bowed to the lord and said, "My lord, they want to attack by force."

The young man on the main seat had dark eyes and smashed the teacup in his hand, "Didn't you say that the whole journey was hidden and no one was following you? How did you get caught up so quickly?"

"My subordinates don't know." He was very sure that there were no guards around Yuan Yueque at that time, and they were quick-witted. Yuan Yueque didn't even have a chance to send out a signal, let alone use any means of tracking.

"What should we do now? We only brought dozens of people with us, and we have no power to resist at all." Du Chuanchen also slammed the teapot on the ground, and the broken pieces splashed all over the ground, as well as the tea.

"For the current plan, we can only use hostage threats to force them to give way."

Du Chuanchen looked at Yuan Yueque, who was tied up and drugged beside him, and said, "Wake him up!"

Hearing this, the guard behind him picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it on Yuan Yueque's face.

"Cough, cough, cough—" Yuan Yueque coughed and opened his eyes. He still didn't understand what happened just now, but in the next second, he immediately remembered the surprise attack, and looked around nervously.The little doll next to him was holding his coat in his hand, and was blinking at him.

Yuan Yueque breathed a sigh of relief, and only then had time to observe the surrounding environment.

He was covered in ropes all over his body and it was obvious he had been caught.The familiar swaying sensation below them indicated that they were on the boat.There are eight enemies in the room, except for the one sitting on the main seat, the rest are all Lianjiazi.He can't escape by himself, let alone he has a child with him.

Du Chuanchi got up and walked to Yuan Yueque, "Marquis Wu'an, long time no see!"

"who are you?"

"You don't know me?" Du Chuanchi was angry, they had met several times.

"Why do I need to know you?" Since entering Beijing, he has met countless juniors like Du Chuanting, so he can't remember them all.

Du Chuanchi was about to strike in a fit of anger, when guards rushed in from outside the door, "My lord, the big boat has already approached, and the other party is throwing ropes onto the boat!"

"Come out with me!" Du Chuanchen picked up Yuan Yueque's collar, trying to drag him out.

Yuan Yueque was dragged by Du Chuanting without any resistance.Yser came after him so quickly, which showed that this wave of people was not well prepared, and arresting him was probably a temporary idea.If so, then he can negotiate terms with the other party.

Xiao Bao was held in the hands of a guard, who was still holding his coat tightly in his arms, neither crying nor fussing, his obedient behavior made people feel distressed.

When they got out of the cabin, they saw that the opposite big ship was less than 20 meters away from them. At a glance, the most conspicuous one was Yiser standing at the bow.

Yuan Yueque suddenly gained confidence, and said to Du Chuanzhi: "In the current situation, there is only one way for you to escape, and that is for the big ship to move out of the way."

"So, please ask Marquis Wu'an to open his mouth." Du Chuanchen put the dagger on Yuan Yueque's neck, "Good dogs don't block the way, let your dogs get out of the way!"

"I can order them to get out of the way, but you must let this child go." Yuan Yueque looked in Xiaobao's direction.

"Oh? Don't want to save your own life, but take care of this brat first?" Du Chuanchen patted Yuan Yueque's cheek with a dagger, "Is he more important than your life?"

Yuan Yueque didn't answer his words, but said: "It's me you want, and it's useless to keep this kid. As long as you let him go, I guarantee that the big boat won't chase you."

"Really?" Du Chuanchen looked Xiaobao up and down, "You tell the fleet in front to get out of the way first, and I will let this brat go."

"Okay." Yuan Yueque shouted at the big boat opposite: "Yeser, make way, and then come to pick up Xiaobao."

Esther looked at the merchant ship's deck calmly, then waved his hand behind him, signaling the big ship to turn around and retreat, quickly clearing a way.

The merchant ship moved forward slowly, passing through the gap in the middle under the watchful eyes of the big ships on both sides.

Yuan Yueque said: "Let Yise come over to pick up the child now, don't worry, you have me as a hostage, they will never dare to chase you."

Du Chuanting wanted to run away directly, but he looked at the fleet of ships lined up on both sides like sharp knives, and knew that if Yuan Yueque didn't cooperate, they would definitely not be able to escape.Therefore, the little brat in his hand must be let go.

However, Esther cannot be allowed to come over.Du Chuanting was very clear about Yser's force value. Although the dozen or so people under him were carefully selected experts, they might not have the upper hand against Yser even if they sieged him.

Du Chuanting looked on the deck of the big ship, and soon found a familiar figure.

Wu Wenxuan, a Jinshi of the same subject as him, because he joined the Gu family and the Yuan family to reach the sky in one step, while other second-class Jinshi were still struggling for qualifications, he directly entered the Ministry of Industry, one of the six divisions, and was appreciated by His Majesty. In two years, he was promoted to the sixth rank.

A boy from a poor family who was born in the countryside is really lucky!

Du Chuanchen pointed to Wu Xuan and said, "Let him come here." Among the armored soldiers, Wu Xuan, who was wearing a long shirt with books, looked the least aggressive.

-

Wu Xuan came to the deck of the merchant ship in a small boat. Du Chuanchi's men surrounded him and searched him. They made sure that he had nothing on him except clothes and accessories before letting him go.

Yuan Yueque was tied up by Wuhuada and thrown on the deck. Du Chuanchen was holding Xiaobao in one hand and playing with a dagger in the other.

Wu Xuan quickly glanced at everyone's positions.There were two guards behind Du Chuanxi and on the left and right sides, and one guard stood at each of the four corners of the deck, and four others stood behind him, staring at him.

Du Chuancheng gestured in front of Xiaobao with a dagger, "Why is the brat so dazed all this time, he doesn't even cry, isn't he a fool?"

Wu Xuan took two steps forward, and said to Du Chuanchen, "Give me the child."

"You said that if I cut this kid twice in the face, would he cry?" Du Chuanchen looked interested.

Wu Xuan took another step forward and repeated: "Give me the child."

Yuan Yueque also stood up with difficulty, and shouted: "Du Chuanchen, don't forget your current situation, do you still want to live? Give him the child!"

"Hahaha, the person is in my hands, I can give it if I want, and I won't if I don't want to." Du Chuanchi smiled arrogantly, his expression almost crazy.Not at all what a literati should look like, but like a cornered beast driven to a dead end.

Yuan Yueque's expression tightened, it seemed that the situation in the capital had changed, otherwise Du Ru's son wouldn't have gone crazy like this.

At this time, he regretted that he only cared about the children during this time and did not pay more attention to the movements in the capital.When he came out to hide this trip, not only did he not escape the disaster, but he even got Xiaobao involved.

Wu Xuan stared at the dagger in Du Chuanchi's hand, his expression became a little anxious, "Give me the child first, and we can discuss everything else."

Du Chuancheng suddenly evoked a malicious smile, and slashed the dagger towards Xiaobao's face.But a little brat, so what if he was killed?As long as Marquis Wu'an is still in his hands, those fleets behind will not dare to attack.

Yuan Yueque's eyes sharpened, "Stop!"

With a thought of Wu Xuan, the shock cannon that had been prepared in the jade pendant reached his sleeve in an instant. Wu Xuan raised his arm and blasted towards Du Chuanchen's lower body.

"Boom—ah—" Du Chuanchen's abdomen was blasted with a bloody hole, and he fell backwards screaming.Little Treasure slipped from his hands and fell on the deck, Wu Xuan quickly rushed forward to pick up Little Treasure.

Du Chuanchen's guards also reacted, they didn't have time to think about how the weapon in Wu Xuan's hand came from, half of them turned around to support Du Chuanchen, and the other half drew out their swords and slashed at Wu Xuan.Wu Xuan rolled on the spot, rolled to the side of Yuan Yueque, and kicked Yuan Yueque off the boat.

The knives of the guards were already close in front of them, and there was no time to dodge them. With a thought, Wu Xuan put these knives into the jade pendant.

While the guards were stunned and dazed, Wu Xuan also jumped into the sea holding Xiaobao, and stuffed a water-proof bead into Xiaobao's mouth.

As soon as Wu Xuan entered the water, he saw Yuan Yueque was struggling, his face was flushed.He hurriedly swam over and stuffed a water-proof bead into Yuan Yueque's mouth, then took out a small knife and cut the rope on the opponent's body.

The redness on Yuan Yueque's face faded slowly, and she looked at Wu Xuan in disbelief.What kind of beads are these?He seems to be able to breathe underwater?

Wu Xuan held Xiaobao in one hand, and swam towards the big boat while pulling Yuan Yueque's arm in the other.

The sound of bows and arrows and shouts of killing came from above. It seemed that Esther had already made a move.

-

Before Wu Xuan and the three of them swam back to the big boat, they bumped into Esther head-on.

Yiser made several gestures to Yuan Yueque, which meant that the people above had been dealt with. Yuan Yueque nodded and floated on the water.

As soon as they showed their heads, a small boat rowed over to pick them up and take them to the big boat.

Wu Xuan put his hand in front of Xiaobao's mouth, and said: "Xiaobao, spit it out." He was afraid that Xiaobao would eat the water-repelling beads as snacks.

Xiao Bao obediently spat out a light golden pearl, Wu Xuan put it away.

Yuan Yueque also spat out the beads in his mouth and wanted to pass them to Wu Xuan.Wu Xuan glanced at it rather disgustingly, "I'll see you off."

"really?"

"Well, thank you uncle for protecting Xiaobao." Wu Xuan always called Yuan Yueque the Marquis of Wu'an, and this was the first time he called Yuan Yueque's uncle sincerely.Under the situation of being held hostage, Yuan Yueque's first thought was to keep Xiaobao, he deserves to be called an uncle.

"Then I won't be polite." Yuan Yueque has been wandering in the sea for so many years, and has never seen such a miraculous thing that can make people breathe underwater.At critical moments, this is something that can save lives.

"By the way, today's matter, I hope uncle can keep it a secret." Whether it's the water-repellent beads or the shock gun he concealed in his sleeve, they are things that cannot be known by outsiders.

"Definitely." Yuan Yueque said.He will also deal with those people under Du Chuanchi.

-

Back on the big boat, Doudou anxiously ran over and hugged Wu Xuan.

"Hey, I'm wet and dirty, don't dirty your clean clothes." Wu Xuan froze in place, not daring to move.

Doudou hugged her for a long time before letting go, "Fortunately, Brother Xuan is here."

"Hey hey, it's mainly about Esther. He ended the battle not long after we got into the water."

The family returned to the cabin, wiped it briefly, and changed into clean clothes.

Xiaobao and Dabao were sitting on the blanket, chattering something, Dabao raised his chubby arm and stroked Xiaobao's head.It was rare for the two of them to have such a harmonious time without fighting. Wu Xuan and Doudou watched from the side with smiles on their faces.

After Da Bao touched Xiao Bao's head, he felt it felt good, so he touched it again.Maybe this time the strength was a little stronger, Xiaobao was a little dissatisfied, so he slapped his hand away.

Da Bao said "Ah—" as if protesting, and Xiao Bao also "Ah—" and went back.

Dabao frowned, and yelled "Ah—" twice, and raised his hand to touch it.Xiao Bao neatly dodged to the side, Da Bao immediately chased after him, Xiao Bao turned around and kicked him, Da Bao hugged Xiao Bao's leg and pulled back, Xiao Bao turned and rushed up, and the two fought together.
