Damn! No way to survive.

Seeing the clippers coming from behind, Shen Yichen couldn't help but yell.

I don't know who I have offended, but I have made such a big effort to hunt down myself. What kind of hatred or resentment is there?

Shen Yichen didn't know who was coming on the fast boat from behind, and thought he was with the Jingkou Gang.

The Jingkou gang members also had no idea why several clippers appeared, and their faces were full of doubts.

Could it be that Zhao Tongpan was worried and found another group of people to provide backup?

But the question is, is it necessary for such a weak scholar, who has no power to restrain a chicken, to be so cautious?

With the dozen or so people from the Jingkou Gang, it was not easy to control the three people on the bird boat. If we had not considered only threatening but not killing, it would have been faster to kill them with two swords.

"Aniu, get ready to dive!"

Shen Yichen had already realized from his initial shock that a small place like Quechuan couldn't be stretched out. Even with powerful fists and kicks, he couldn't block the swords and guns from the opposite side, let alone the swords and guns from the opposite side.

The surface of the canal is not wide, so you can swim directly to the shore by diving into the water and holding your breath.

Although going ashore can't change the situation where we are outnumbered, at least we are out of the encirclement. If we distance ourselves, we may be able to create a one-on-one situation. If it doesn't work, it depends on who has good physical strength and can run away. My long-distance running skills are even better.

It has to be said that Shen Yichen was very naughty before, but at least it brought one benefit, that is, he can swim and is very good at it.

If you are like other hard-working students who are inattentive to their four limbs and their five grains, you will really not be able to seize the opportunity to run away for your life.

Without Shen Yichen's greeting, A Niu also reacted at this moment. He immediately put away the dagger, and each of him and the boatman picked up an oar, forming a horn formation, preparing to delay some time and let Shen Yichen run first.

After all, compared to a dagger, a paddle is an inch longer and an inch stronger.

"You guys go together!"

Shen Yichen looked at A Niu and the two unmoved, urging loudly while pulling off his robe.

This set of t-shirts was used to support the scene when traveling far away. Now that the scene can no longer support it, the efficiency of running is far less than that of wearing a short blouse.

"Brother Chen, jump quickly, you won't be able to escape if you are surrounded!"

Seeing that Shen Yichen hadn't jumped into the water yet, Ah Niu became a little anxious. No matter how late the speedboats came up behind him, it would be useless to waste time.

"Stop running away and find a way to talk to them!"

Faced with this situation that could be described as being besieged on all sides, Shen Yichen took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

Now there is a wolf in front of me and a tiger behind me. Even if I escape to the shore, I will be wet all alone in an unfamiliar place. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to escape from the pursuit of the local water gang.

And Shen Yichen didn't want to live for himself, so he watched A Niu and the boatman die in vain. Whatever price the other party could offer, even if he moved Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong out, he would still have to pay a higher price for his life!

"Brother Chen, let's go!"

A Niu shouted anxiously when he heard that Shen Yichen was actually planning to stay and negotiate.

Before he left, his mother had specially told him that Shen Yichen was the leader of the Little Sanyuan case and was of noble origin. No matter what happened, his safety must be guaranteed.

If something happened at this time, how could I explain it to my mother and Shen Yichen's mother?

At this critical moment, the speeding boats coming from behind did not slow down to surround Shen Yichen's bird boat, but rushed straight over and collided with the first few speeding boats. .

Seeing this scene, Shen Yichen was a little confused. Could it be that a gang that has been making a living on the water all year round would make such low-level mistakes in controlling the boat?

The Jingkou gang members on the other side thought that the other party was a "friendly force" surrounding Shen Yichen, but they never expected that the other party would rush towards him. Under the huge impact, people were instantly turned upside down, and there were shouts and curses!

"Straight bitch, do you know how to sail a boat? Can you hit me like this?"

"What kind of trash did Zhao Tongpan find? How can we do anything important if we can't even sail a boat?"

"This is definitely not someone who makes a living on the water. It's probably a gang on the banks of the Zhenjiang River."

"Damn it, after this matter is finished, I will take care of them!"

The Jingkou gang helped him stand up and prepared to have a good argument with the other party.

As a result, what they saw was a group of strong and powerful men emerging from the other side's ship, holding steel knives in their hands and looking fierce. They jumped over to them and without saying a word, they slashed at them with the knives.

"Who are you? We are Zhao Tongpan's people!"

"Sorry, your mother admitted the wrong person. The scholar is on the bird boat."

"Ah~~~Help!"

Soon the yelling and cursing was replaced by screams and wails.

It’s not that the Jingkou Gang didn’t have people who dared to fight back. After all, they didn’t have the tools to make a living on the water, so they would have been killed long ago. But the strong man on the other side was so ruthless that he could kill without blinking an eye. He was not at the same level as ordinary gangs. Above, it looks like a frontier army that has been at war all year round.

Could it be said that there is a special guard beside Shen Yichen? Does Duke Cheng Guo value this maid's son so highly?

Perhaps these members of the Jingkou Gang never dreamed that they would encounter such a group of ruthless people and even lose their lives if they just took on the dirty job of intimidating and intimidating scholars.

Blood spattered, and a few drops even followed the river wind and landed on Shen Yichen's face. Smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Shen Yichen's face turned pale, and his fingers trembled slightly.

To be honest, Shen Yichen had never seen such a bloody scene in his life. When a living person died tragically in front of him, the psychological impact of death was completely different from what he saw on TV.

At first, Shen Yichen thought about the local gang causing trouble. Without deep hatred, the other party was just looking for money.

Since there is a price for asking for money, there is a high chance that a good discussion can lead to a way out.

Now this group of inexplicably strong men are much more ruthless than the Jingkou gang. They are just here to kill people. I'm afraid they don't even have a chance to talk.

What kind of person did he offend? Will he definitely be put to death?

Soon, the wails and screams gradually subsided, more than a dozen people from the Jingkou Gang fell down one after another, and the river water around the bird boat was dyed with blood.

At this time, a strong man covered in blood jumped onto Shen Yichen's boat. The bloody smell of killing hit his face, making people feel seriously uncomfortable.

This was also the first time A Niu had seen such a scene. He couldn't help but tremble while holding the paddle in his hand. However, after seeing someone jumping on the boat, he immediately stood in front of Shen Yichen.

I have to say that after all, we have been friends who have grown up together. Even if the contact has become less in the middle, we are really reliable at critical moments.

The strong man who jumped on the bird boat glanced at Shen Yichen. He did not act as ferociously as he had imagined. Instead, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Senior Chief Shen, there is no need to panic. I am Zhejiang miner Ye Zongliu, here to protect you."

Ye Zongliu?

Hearing this name alone, Shen Yichen had no impression at all in his mind, let alone who the other person was and why he wanted to protect himself.

However, after hearing the word Zhejiang miners, Shen Yichen instantly remembered something. Wasn't the leader of the Zhejiang peasant uprising that occurred in the ninth year of the Ming Dynasty a miner named Ye Zongliu?

Could it be that the strong man in front of me is the leader of the rebel army in history?

But the problem is, even if the other party is the same person, why should he help himself? It seems that he can't hit him with eight poles.

To be honest, although Shen Yichen understood the peasant uprising during the Zhengtong Dynasty and even sympathized with their experiences, he did not want to have too much close contact with them at this time.

You must know that at this time, it is not that the late Ming Dynasty fell apart and there was no king's law. The central government of the Zhengtong Dynasty still had strong authority. An uprising is equivalent to rebellion, but it is a major crime to punish the nine tribes. No matter whether you are a comrade or not, as long as you are involved, you will be punished. Duke Cheng Guo couldn't protect himself.

Don't forget that just after someone was rescued and given a way out, they were labeled as a rebel over there. In that case, there would be no room for grievances.

"Oh, Mr. Shen seems to have a lot of worries?"

Perhaps because he saw Shen Yichen's defensiveness, Ye Zongliu felt a little disappointed.

I thought that the young scholar whom Mr. Bian praised so highly was so courageous and promising, but in the end he did not expect to be so timid.

Now that I have just rescued him, I am afraid that it will affect Chi Yu. Master Bian plans to rely on people like this to help him find a way out in the future. It is better not to be sold out by him and take credit for it.

Sensing the change in Ye Zongliu's tone, Shen Yichen showed a self-mockery look on his face. He just heard about the leader of the peasant army and thought too much.

As for someone who just saved him and was afraid of being implicated and turning his back on him, he couldn't do it.

So he cupped his hands and said, "Although I am cautious by nature, I am not timid. I would like to thank Leader Ye for saving my life."

After saying that, Shen Yichen bowed deeply. No matter what the identity or background of the other person was, at least he saved his life, which meant that he owed a great debt of gratitude.

It is human nature to repay kindness!

Leader Ye?

After hearing this title, Ye Zongliu could instantly understand why Master Bian He valued this young man so much.

From just one name, Shen Yichen really figured out his identity.

At the same time, this also means that Shen Yichen is not the kind of literati who only knows how to read the books of sages. He knows the situation in the world very well. He has even heard about what happened in the mines in Zhejiang.

You must know that ancient times were not like modern times, with television networks and other information channels. A scholar who could read a lot of books and know everything about the world was a very terrifying ability.

Ye Zongliu's suspicion was that he was overestimating Shen Yichen. On the eve of the miners' uprising in the ninth year of Zhengtong, there was no news even from the upper echelons of Yingtian Mansion, let alone Shen Yichen.
