After getting up and calming down, Jiang's men realized they were still feeling the fear.
But seeing Song Chengjian's composure and the unhurried manner with which he questioned the bandit leader, it seemed there was no need to rush.
Unable to hold back any longer, she finally spoke up, "Second Young Master, will the people on the shore be alright?"
I'm sorry, I'm only asking the young master.
Song Chengjian turned his head to look towards the shore, a slight smile on his face, "Do you think I'm more capable, or my older brother?"
Jiang's men didn't dare to give an answer, but the huge weight in their hearts instantly lifted.
In terms of skill and practical ability, not to mention the Song family, even if you include the entire Jiang family, no one can compare to the Second Young Master.
But when it comes to strategy...
The eldest son alone can withstand it, more than all the others combined.
These are the evaluations given by the young master and Steward Qin.
At this point, Chiang Kai-shek's men suddenly remembered that when they boarded the ship, besides the monks and women and children...
At that time, the eldest son had everyone board the ship.
However, apart from the designated personnel, everyone else quietly descended into the water using rope ladders...
The rope ladder was quickly retracted, so fast that even if someone was lurking nearby, they wouldn't have noticed.
Those on the ship were completely bewildered, thinking it was all unnecessary...
Only now did I realize that perhaps the eldest young master had foreseen all along that the bandits would use a feint attack from one side while simultaneously striking from the other...
Therefore, a large number of people were left on the shore.
Of the twenty men that Manager Qin brought back, five were taken aboard the ship, while the rest remained on shore...
Protecting the young master is more than enough.
Having figured this out, Jiang's men remained calm and, without needing Song Chengjian's orders, instructed their companions to guard the bandits...
They were tied up and sat back-to-back in the middle of the boat to prevent them from suddenly jumping into the water and escaping.
"Second brother, is everything really alright on the shore?"
He trusted his elder brother and the other brothers, but seeing the bandits' confident demeanor, Song Chengyu couldn't help but worry.
Don't worry!
Song Chengjian leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Most of the explosives I made were left on the shore."
If they dare to launch a sneak attack, they will learn a lesson they'll never forget!
If it were just bamboo arrows, Song Chengyu might still be worried.
After all, there were many people, including fisherwomen and children, monks and novices...
Taking care of them inevitably leads to neglecting some aspects...
However, if there is enough explosives, the bandits cannot easily get close.
Feeling reassured, Song Chengyu invited the fishermen and Jiang's men to sit down in front of the bandits and eat sweet potatoes and dried fish...
The bandits swallowed hard, their arrogance completely vanished.
ashore.
As the sun began to set, everyone returned to their tents, except for a few who stayed outside to cook porridge and fry seafood...
In another corner of the tent, some people were collecting branches to use as firewood...
A few of Chiang Kai-shek's men were patrolling the area leisurely, but they were clearly not paying much attention.
Then, a few heads in a certain direction suddenly retreated and disappeared...
The Jiang family subordinates, who had just seemed absent-minded, quickly ran into Song Chenghou's tent.
Wen Shishi was still taking a nap when she was startled by the footsteps and trembled violently in Song Chenghou's arms...
Seeing this, Jiang's men anxiously looked outside the tent but dared not speak.
Song Chenghou calmly and methodically pulled Wen Shishi close to his chest and patted her back gently a few times...
Once Wen Shishi had settled back into a peaceful sleep, her little mouth opening and closing a few times, Song Chenghou carefully handed her to Song Chengxin.
He emerged from under the tent with Jiang's men, his face grim and his entire being exuding murderous intent.
Jiang's men couldn't help but glance at the little girl being held by the Third Young Master inside the tent...
The young master valued them so much that he almost woke the young lady up. These people are doomed!
Song Chenghou turned around and entered the tent where Jiang Xinyu was.
Upon seeing Song Chenghou, Jiang Xinyu, who had been lying down, immediately perked up.
He straightened up and sat down next to Song Chenghou.
Qin Shan took a seat, and the rest of his men sat properly behind Jiang Xinyu and Qin Shan.
The man first gave a brief description of what he had observed.
Jiang Xinyu was completely bewildered. "This? That's it?"
Didn't they just go back?
"Are you no longer keeping watch?"
Qin Shan saw through it but didn't say anything, offering no warning.
Song Chenghou calmly reminded them, "They're not going back; they're going back to make sure we're all gone, and then they're going back to report..."
Jiang Xinyu's eyes lit up, eager to try, and he asked Song Chenghou, "So, what should we do now?"
