Why would the water bandits agree?
Wasn't the 100,000 dans of rations transported to Zhangzhou to make a fortune?
These unscrupulous merchants were willing to do anything in order to earn blood money.
Instead of letting them harm the people with the rations, they might as well rob them to feed the thousands of brothers in the village.
If they had not been well-informed, suppressing the news and acting secretly, such a fat sheep would have been snatched away by someone else.
Yang Si stood on the deck, waiting for the other party's reply. The water bandits' ships had already surrounded the fleet.
The fisherwoman stuck her head out curiously and looked around. With the good vision of this body, she could see the figures of the water bandits in the distance.
Usually, she watched the livestream through the screen, so no matter how bloody the scene was, she could get used to it. Now that she was in the flesh, she panicked.
To ease her nervousness and fear, the fisherwoman could only force herself to focus on the bullet screen.
Because the fisherwoman had not transmigrated for a long time, everyone did not know that Yang Si was enforcing the law. Instead, they thought that Yang Si and the others were escorting rations to the front line. They did not expect to meet water bandits along the way and face the predicament of being robbed.
Toudu Feiqiu: "We're done for. They're not friendly. The food transport fleet did not bring many soldiers. We're going to be robbed."
Dung Hai Kuangma: "It's fine if the rations are lost, but the people can't be harmed."
Fireworks Era: "This is strange. Why do you think that the people in the cabin are rations and not people?"
Countless bullet screen comments flew by. The fisherwoman became more anxious the more she read.
When she transmigrated, she was in the cabin. There were only about 10 guards, and the rest were sacks of rations.
It was obvious that the other ships were in the same situation.
The entire fleet probably did not have as many people as the water bandits. If they fought, they would lose.
The fisherwoman bit her lip secretly, not knowing that the situation outside had changed again and again.
The fleet deliberately showed weakness to encourage the water bandits, giving them the illusion that the fleet had more rations than people, so they were not a threat.
"Leader, don't talk nonsense with them. We can't afford to waste time," a small leader of the water bandits said. "We're too big of a target. If we attract the attention of the nearby villages, it'll be difficult for us to take everything for ourselves. Why don't we try boarding the ship and see what's real … "
The leader of the pirates also thought the same. The longer this dragged on, the more trouble there would be.
He immediately ordered his minions to approach the ships on the periphery and force their way onto the decks to rush into the cabins. The cabins were filled with bags of food. The lackeys were very arrogant. They kicked the guards who tried to resist into the water and shouted, "Boss, it's all food!"
The surrounding boats were all in the same situation. The leader of the pirates immediately gave the order.
Seeing this, the corners of Yang Si's lips curled up into a cold smile.
The fisherwoman accidentally saw it, and she shuddered involuntarily.
From the beginning to the end, Yang Si did not show any signs of panic or confusion. He should have known that he had a card up his sleeve.
"H-they're coming —"
The fisherwoman saw the ferocious water bandits board the deck, and her heart beat like thunder. Her hands and feet became ice-cold, and her face was completely drained of blood.
Li Yun stood at the side and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic. Just watch."
The fisherwoman could not help but widen her eyes as she saw a scene that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
The water bandits discovered that the ships on the periphery were all loaded with food. In a moment of excitement, their wariness was greatly reduced, and they did not discover the hidden danger.
When the water bandits boarded the deck and entered the cabins, what they saw was not food, but a butcher's knife that had been waiting for them for a long time.
Screams rose and fell. Before long, corpses fell into the water like dumplings, instantly dying the water red. Before the water bandits could react, Yang Si ordered the boats to change positions and blocked their path, wrapping them up like dumplings.
The water bandits were caught off guard. They had no way of putting up any effective resistance and were instead slaughtered.
They could not defeat the enemy, and there was no way to escape with their boats. Left with no choice, many of the water bandits chose to jump into the water. They had been around water since they were young and were very good swimmers. But Yang Si did not plan on letting them go. Rows of archers shot arrows into the water.
The fisherwoman witnessed all of this with her own eyes. The corpses on the water surface sank and floated up again. Fresh blood dyed the blue water scarlet.
She was in a daze and did not notice that a water bandit had climbed onto the boat to launch a sneak attack. When Li Yun chopped the man into two, fresh blood sprayed all over his face and the water bandit's head rolled in front of him, only then did the fisherwoman react. She screamed in fright.
This was definitely not a good experience for the fisherwoman.
He lived in a harmonious society where firearms were controlled. The bloodiest scene he had seen since he was young was when the husband of his neighbor in the countryside abused his wife, beating her until her face was swollen and her nose was black and blue as she wailed and screamed. To him, this was an extremely deep psychological trauma. He did not expect that after transmigrating, he would witness so many living people dying in front of his eyes. The fisherwoman was so frightened that tears flowed from her eyes, giving Li Yun a fright.
As it was a fishing operation, the water bandits were caught off guard. Yang Si did not have to pay much to obtain a great victory.
Yang Si said, "Interrogate them properly. If they are willing to work for us, spare their lives. If they can't, deal with them."
Most of the water bandits were tough on the outside but weak on the inside. They were not hard to deal with and could be subdued with a little effort. Yang Si was not very worried.
On the contrary, the man who called himself "Mountain Ghost" was crying very miserably. His courage was even smaller than his daughter who was not even one year old.
"Why are you crying?" Yang Si asked him.
The fisherwoman took a while to recover. Her hands and legs were weak.
"Dead, dead people …"
The fisherwoman did not know if she was lucky or unlucky. Not only did she meet Li Yun and the rest, but she also received their autographs and blessings. It should have been a good thing, but she did not expect so many water bandits to jump out in the next second and put on a one-sided massacre in front of her.
Yang Si said coldly, "In troubled times, there are no places where people don't die."
The fisherwoman had heard similar words from others when she watched the livestream. At that time, she felt it was rather cool, but now she felt exceptionally sorrowful.
"I, I thought … killing people was against the law …"
Yang Si sneered, "That was during the golden age. In golden age, killing people is against the law. In troubled times, human life is less than grass."
His observational skills were meticulous and he could more or less see some clues.
Even though he did not know where "Mountain Ghost" came from, he did not look like an evil person. His living environment should be very simple.
The fisherwoman held back her tears. At the same time, she felt a little fortunate.
Fortunate that she had only transmigrated for twelve hours. Fortunate that there was no war in the era she lived in …
For some unknown reason, he seized the time to tell Qi Kuang and the rest what he felt would be useful.
Qi Kuang listened attentively. Unknowingly, the moon and stars filled the sky outside.
"I've never seen such a beautiful starry sky."
The fisherwoman sat on the deck and supported her body with her hands. She sighed with emotion. The System reminded her that the countdown had begun.
Yang Si suddenly asked, "Since you're a Mountain Ghost, you can reach the heavens and the earth. Do you know if my master has any hope of attaining the throne?"
The fisherwoman was lamenting the short time. When she heard this, she subconsciously retorted.
"Besides her, who else could it be?"
