(Transmigration + Slow Romance + Female Side Character) Tong Wen Yao woke up one day to find herself transmigrated as the young lady of the Tong family.
She didn't enjoy the la...
After hearing this, Xing'er replied, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Bai, for reminding us. We will extinguish the candles and cooperate with you."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Bai bowed and said, "Thank you very much!"
After Shopkeeper Bai left, Wang Liao came over with his men and said, "Mr. Tong, I'll send two men into the room to guard it. If the pirates break in through the window, there will be someone to deal with them!"
Xing'er glanced at Tong Wenyao. The room was dim with only the faint moonlight, so she couldn't see the expression on her face. Tong Wenyao said directly, "Go ahead!"
This is just a temporary residence, and it can't be called a boudoir, so I agreed to let them in. Dongzi is also guarding the room at this time. Although he is not good at martial arts, if it really comes to an emergency, he can still sacrifice his life to buy some time for the boss to escape.
The closer they got to the Suilan Sea, the more tense the atmosphere became. Even the slow-witted Dongzi could sense something was amiss. It was too quiet outside, ridiculously quiet! He leaned against the wall and walked to the window, carefully looking out. He saw a fire burning in the distance, and voices chanting "Licking blood on the edge of a knife, sharing the treasure" were heard there.
Many of the ships ahead had already been set on fire, and some were even on fire. After looking around from the viewing platform, Tong Wen Yao discovered that their ship was at the back. The pirates couldn't find it yet, but if they continued to move forward, it would only be a matter of time before they were discovered. She didn't know why Shopkeeper Bai was still moving forward even though he knew there was danger ahead!
Wang Liao said from the side, "If we go there now, if the pirates have looted a lot of treasure, then they might let us small fry go. After all, their ship isn't big, but it's not small either. It has two decks. The big ship ahead had three, and they were all robbed. If the pirates don't value our small ship, there's a chance we can get away with it. That's why Shopkeeper Bai would rather take the risk and sail the ship over."
It was not only Shopkeeper Bai who had such an idea. Even the other boats sped up and crawled forward in the darkness.
Perhaps because Shopkeeper Bai only made a trip every two or three months, he hadn't anticipated the rapid growth of pirates, with their numbers doubling and tripling. Now that they had formed large ships, the smaller boats were naturally robbed by newbies.
The bandits in Suilanhai could not help but get excited when they saw several medium-sized ships coming. The boss said that whoever robbed more would be able to work for the boss and be taken to new places by the boss. This time was a test for them, and only those with outstanding abilities could follow the boss!
Therefore, many newcomers secretly vowed to rob them together. They took the knives they had robbed before, and the stealth fighters took a small boat to throw the hook onto the boatman, and then asked the boat of the brothers on the other side to pull it up, and then slid over on the rope. Many pirates also climbed up from below. On the first floor, Shopkeeper Bai directed the helmsman to steer the boat while directing the guards to kill the bandits!
Originally, she didn't want Xiaoxue to go down, but when she saw Zhou Xueyi being cornered by a pirate, she remembered that he had spoken for Xiaoxue before they boarded the ship, so she said, "Xiaoxue, go down and kill that guy!"
After hearing this, Xiaoxue let out a cry and jumped directly from the fence on the second floor and jumped onto the viewing platform on the first floor.
Zhou Xueyi retreated while grabbing a chair from the side to defend himself. As the pirate's sword chopped down at him, he subconsciously used the chair to block it, but the chair was vulnerable and was directly cut off. His palms were numb and he was a little scared. He glanced at the sea and was wondering whether to jump into the sea when he suddenly saw a leopard behind the pirate making an attacking posture.
Just as the pirate pointed the knife at him again, the snow leopard jumped on him and started biting him. The pirate was thrown to the ground, bitten and bitten, making him scream in pain. Zhou Xueyi was not polite either, and directly hit the pirate's thigh with the chair that the pirate had just chopped off, taking advantage of his weakness to kill him.
Zhou Xueyi knew that if it weren't for this leopard, he might have perished at sea. Wang Liao took advantage of the fact that there were still relatively few pirates on board and directly carried Zhou Xueyi up to the second floor like a chicken.
After seeing Tong Wenyao, he bowed to her and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Miss. I will never forget it in my life."
Even Tong Wenyao was startled. Scholars rarely performed the ritual of kneeling and bowing. She had never expected the scholar before her to kneel directly in front of her. She quickly helped Zhou Xueyi up and said, "Sir, there is no need for such extravagance. Kindness will be rewarded. You spoke up for my Xiaoxue earlier, and I happened to see it. That's why Xiaoxue saved your life."
The number of pirates was still increasing. When Tong Wen Yao saw that Manager Bai and his men were about to give up, she directly asked the people from the escort agency to take action. You know, they are now in the same boat, and if the ship was robbed, they will not have an easy time either.
The pirates originally had seventy or eighty men on board, but when they saw the escort agency's crew aboard that ship, they suspected it might contain valuables and quickly called for more men to try to seize the ship. The scholars below on the first floor fled in panic, their heads in their hands. Fan Yang saw a familiar figure on the second floor and wanted to shout, but the pirates hadn't yet reached the second floor. To avoid implicate his brothers, he casually picked up a large knife from the ground and hid in a corner. Zhou Xueyi also saw his good brother, Brother Fan. He still relied on others to save him, but when his brothers were in danger, he couldn't bear to watch them die.
Not only Fan Yang on the first floor saw that there were no pirates visiting the second floor, but someone in the crowd also shouted, "Sir on the second floor, can you let us hide for a while?" After these words came out, many people around him looked towards the second floor.
Xing'er glanced at the young lady and said, "Why, aren't you afraid of our leopard now? When we got on the boat, you all wanted to chase it off, but now you're chasing it?"
These words made everyone present regret deeply, and they quickly said, "We were foolish and said hurtful words before. Now that we are in danger, please save our lives, young lady. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Young lady, your kindness is great, and we will always remember it in our hearts!"
However, there was also someone in the crowd who refused to accept the offer. This person was Gui Rong from before. He snorted disdainfully and said, "With pirates in front of me and leopards behind me, I will never compromise with them! Life and death are determined by heaven, and wealth and honor are made by oneself. Even if I, Gui Rong, am beaten to death by pirates, I will never surrender and beg for mercy from a woman like her."
After saying this, she was a little stunned. She didn't expect this scholar to have such a strong character! Tong Wenyao nodded, and Xing'er said, "Everyone, come up. My lady is willing to protect you for a while!"
