Chapter 299 Subduing the Bandits
Fei Feng said, "You know what, isn't that bearded man the leader of that gang of bandits? And there are his second and third leaders beside him."
"It's those bandits!" Long Chuqing also remembered: "No wonder they looked so familiar, they actually escaped from the government prison."
Long Chuqing was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, the guards in the government prison should be very strong. Once someone goes in, they can't get out without being released, let alone escape.
How did they do that?
When did they escape?
Fei Feng analyzed, "Perhaps there's a traitor within the government office who colluded with outsiders to release them."
“That’s possible too,” Feng Yu said, agreeing with the view.
Long Chuqing narrowed his eyes slightly: "In that case, we can't let them leave even more."
The best time to act is when their attention is not on us.
Once she had decided to act, Long Chuqing didn't hesitate for a moment. She immediately stood up and threw the silver needle in her hand at the bandit who was holding the hostage. At the same time, she raised the phoenix feather whip in her hand and lashed it at the feet of the two bandits guarding the hostage.
"what……"
Two piercing screams rang out at the same time.
The two guards were caught off guard and were struck hard by the whip, falling heavily onto the deck.
Both men's calves were injured, leaving deep bloodstains, and they were unable to get up for a while.
Long Chuqing and Feng Yu had already shown them mercy by not unleashing their feather blades; otherwise, their legs would have been torn off.
Not far away, the hostage-taker was also caught off guard. The silver needle was inserted directly into the acupoint on his hand, and his arm went limp as his large knife fell to the ground.
Hearing the screams, the bandits standing at the bow of the boat all turned around to look. At the same time, Long Chuqing's whip had already tightly bound the hostage.
"Ah..." After a startled scream, the hostage had already been pulled back by Long Chuqing.
After landing, he quickly came to his senses and scrambled to the crowd behind him, managing to escape with his life.
"Quickly, prepare the boats," Xiao Yue ordered in a deep voice from the shore.
Since Miss Long has taken action, she must have a way to protect the passengers' safety. He needs to get there as soon as possible to help her control the bandits.
"Your Highness, Lan Feng went to look for him immediately," Lan Yu replied.
This is a dock, where boats are plentiful. Lan Feng and the others quickly rowed over in their small boat.
Seeing his two companions lying on the ground, their expressions were full of pain, and they seemed unable to stand up for a short time.
The bearded man immediately looked furious.
When the group saw Long Chuqing's appearance clearly, they were momentarily stunned.
Isn't this the woman from the hot spring resort who escorted them back to the city that day?
Although I only glanced at her a few times, her appearance was so outstanding that I couldn't help but remember her.
Why is she here?
Long Chuqing didn't make a move while they were at the manor, so they didn't know how strong she was.
She looked harmless, but judging from her calm expression and how easily she dealt with her two subordinates, she was not to be underestimated.
"Bang...bang"
Long Chuqing kicked the two fallen bandits to the side of the boat, one after the other.
He then quickly ran to the bow of the boat, raised his phoenix feather whip, and lashed it at the other bandits.
Without uttering a word, the other party raised his whip and attacked them. The six men simultaneously raised their longswords and broadswords to defend against the fierce attack.
"Sizzle..."
“Framed…”
Several ear-piercing metallic clangs rang out as the phoenix feather whip slashed fiercely between the men's broadswords and longswords.
With the blades half-open, the first and second large swords that were subjected to force were directly cut in half, and the large swords and longswords of the other two people also suffered varying degrees of damage.
They were all forced to take a step back, and staring at the broken swords and blades before them, they were all speechless with shock.
This woman's strength is terrifying.
With that kind of force, someone whipped that would definitely have their skin torn and bleeding.
Long Chuqing kindly advised, "I advise you to surrender obediently to avoid physical suffering."
"You're spouting nonsense!" the bearded man roared.
These weapons were all hastily acquired; the fact that they could be cut in two with a single blow can only mean they were of poor quality.
He won't be fooled by a girl.
The others also came to their senses and picked up whatever was at hand to attack Long Chuqing.
By this time, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered on the shore. They had all come to watch after hearing that bandits had hijacked the passenger ship.
Uncle Chen also stood in the crowd looking around. He had witnessed the soldiers chasing the bandits while he was resting in the carriage, and saw them all running towards the dock.
After they had all gone far away, he was a little worried about Long Chuqing and Ziguang, so he waited a while and then ran over to look for them.
They searched everywhere but couldn't find the two people. They even checked several pharmacies but still couldn't find them.
Upon hearing from the crowd that bandits had taken a boatload of hostages, his heart pounded, and he quickly followed the crowd to see for himself.
He was startled to see that the girl was fighting with the bandits on the boat, holding a whip.
"What to do? What to do? What are we going to do?!" Uncle Chen stamped his feet anxiously.
"If Miss Long were to injure him, how would she explain it to the Prince!"
Although I saw her easily deal with those spoiled brats, how can spoiled brats compare to bandits! Bandits are vicious, cunning, and ruthless, and there are so many of them, can the young lady defeat them?
It's probably too late to go back and report now.
Fortunately, His Highness Prince Jin and his troops arrived there.
"Oh dear..." Uncle Chen said with a worried look, "May the Bodhisattva protect us, may the Bodhisattva protect us."
The passenger ship was too small, and after the few blows it had just received, the small boat was already teetering on the brink of destruction.
Long Chuqing put away her whip and used her foot to kick up the longsword that the guard had dropped, retaliating in the process.
After several rounds, the bandits were already wounded. They had no weapons, and the carrying poles and wooden sticks they grabbed were no match for the attacks.
Long Chuqing chopped the carrying pole in the bandit's hand in half with a single stroke, and then kicked one of the bandits in the head with a scorpion kick, sending him flying while he was still dazed.
"boom......"
"Crash..."
A spinning kick sent another thug flying into the water.
When the boatman saw them fighting, he stopped rowing and quickly dropped his bamboo pole, running to the back of the crowd to squat down with them.
Just now I was saying that this girl was a sheltered young lady who had never seen the world! I was worried that she would be bullied by bad people on the other side, but I didn't expect her martial arts skills to be so good and her courage to fight so many bandits.
But... what a pity for this ship!
Looking at the small boat, now tattered and mangled from the fight, the boatman's heart bled.
"Oh dear... what am I going to do!" This is his only source of livelihood!
The ship is destroyed, destroyed. How will his family survive now?
At the same time, Xiao Yue, Lan Feng, and Lan Yu had also flown onto the ship and joined the team to arrest the bandits.
The fight between the men made the small boat rock even more, and their unsteady stance made their knife-wielding movements sluggish.
