Li Ye's fleet has a total of twenty-five ships, almost all of which are 500-stone passenger ships. Twenty of them are occupied by his two hundred soldiers. Li Ye owns one ship, and the other four belong to Shen Zhenzhu. She and she Shen Li took one boat, more than twenty maids and servants took one boat, and two boats carried her luggage.

Shen Zhenzhu was certainly very wealthy personally. The dowry given to her by her natal family, the wealth left by her husband to her and her son, she had a special warehouse in the basement of Chang'an Baoji Cabinet.

Her carry-on luggage consisted of all kinds of clothes, silks, and jewelry. She had more than 20,000 taels of silver alone, which was filled with more than 300 large boxes. This time she also followed her back to Chang'an.

Li Ye visited Shen Zhai in a private capacity this time. He had only two hundred soldiers with him, and the troops were all waiting in Hangzhou.

In the evening of this day, the fleet sailed into the Qiantang River. After entering the Qiantang River, it took another day and night to reach Hangzhou.

Li Ye was sitting in the cabin writing a letter. He needed to arrange some things before setting off to Quanzhou.

At this time, Deputy Commander Zhang Yun said nervously at the door of the cabin: "We found five ships of unknown origin following us!"

Li Ye frowned, "Why is it called Unknown Origin?"

"Our brothers discovered that there were young men with weapons hidden in these ships, and they were communicating with each other."

"How big is the ship and how many people are there on the other side?" Li Ye asked again.

"They are all Qianshi cargo ships. It is estimated that there are about seventy or eighty people on the other side."

Li Ye took out a report from the box, which was a security report on the West Zhejiang Province. It mentioned that there was a group of water thieves on the Qiantang River. The leader was Song Guangchun, who was a subordinate of the original bandit Fang Qing. He was very fierce and daring, and his number was in the There were about ninety people, and their logo, the triangular black flag, was mentioned above.

"Do they have flags on the ship?" Li Ye asked again.

"It seems that the leading ship has a triangular black flag on it."

Li Ye nodded, that's right, they were indeed Song Guangchun's water thieves. These water thieves had such a keen sense of smell that they could detect him.

"Your Highness, it is almost dark. We are not afraid of two thousand people on land, but we have no advantage in the river."

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Let's get to the shore! Let the brothers be prepared and use explosive arrows to shoot across the entire range, leaving no one behind!"

Shen Zhenzhu was sitting in the cabin having dinner with Shen Li. At this moment, the ship suddenly shook. Li Ye opened the cabin door and said with a smile: "Two female donors, come ashore with me!"

Shen Zhenzhu discovered that Li Ye was wearing armor. She was startled and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"

"A group of water thieves have eaten the courage of a bear and a leopard, and they want to attack us. Let's go ashore to deal with them!"

Shen Li was so frightened that she covered her mouth and said, "Is he Song Guangchun's water thief?"

"Miss Li also knows?" Li Ye was a little curious.

Shen Li nodded, "I heard from my grandfather that these water thieves are so vicious that they won't even spare children. The Shen family recruited two hundred warriors to protect the house because they are afraid that they will attack Shen's house."

"That's right, today is the day of their destruction. Come with me."

Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li quickly stood up and followed Li Ye to the shore. It turned out that the ship had already docked. The shore was full of weeds and it was inconvenient to go ashore. Li Ye had one foot on the shore and one foot on the ship. Like nails, he gently picked up Shen Zhenzhu and carried her ashore with one arm.

Li Ye smiled again and handed his hand to Shen Li. Shen Li's face turned red and she had no choice but to hug Li Ye's strong arm. Li Ye grabbed her slender waist and used one arm to push her to the shore.

Shen Li's heart was beating fast. This was the first man to hold her like this since she was sensible.

The other maids and servants were also sent ashore by the soldiers, and two hundred soldiers came ashore one after another. They were divided into two parts, one part was on guard against the land, and the other part stared at the river.

More than a dozen maids and servants squatted together, guarded by land soldiers.

"You two squat behind me!"

Li Ye handed them another porcelain bottle, "Put it on your hands and face to prevent mosquitoes."

The two of them didn't expect His Highness the Supervisor to be so attentive and even thought of preventing mosquitoes. They were really touched.

The two people hurriedly applied the liquid in the porcelain bottle to their hands, legs and neck. The liquid exuded a strong fragrance of mugwort.

Li Ye suddenly raised his right hand and shouted in a low voice: "They are coming, be silent!"

All the soldiers fell silent. Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li hid behind Li Ye's strong body and secretly looked towards the river. They saw five thousand-stone ships approaching them. The people on board were holding torches, and they all looked fierce and full of flesh. Armed with knives and spears, their target turned out to be their own boat!

The two of them were immediately frightened, and it turned out that the target of the water thief was them.

Shen Pearl and Shen Li couldn't help but lean closer to Li Ye, almost touching him. Li Ye was wearing armor, and his tall and strong body gave them a great sense of security.

Shen Pearl suddenly felt an indescribable fascination with the tall and strong man in front of her. Every move of this man fascinated her.

At this time, Li Ye turned around and smiled at them, "Cover your ears, the sound will be shocking!"

The two of them quickly covered their ears obediently. Li Ye took off the Sirius Bow and pulled out two exploding arrows from a special fine steel quiver. The front ends of the exploding arrows were wrapped with thick soft cloth. Li Ye gently pulled off the soft cloth. , revealing the porcelain bottle on the arrow, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

The water thieves who sneaked in were Song Guangchun and his men. They were all proficient in water. On the Qiantang River, they were kings and did not take anyone seriously.

They focused on Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li's boat. The boatman told his cousin Wu Sheng the characteristics of the boat. The outer wall of the cabin was painted red. This was the exclusive boat for the female members of the Shen family.

Song Guangchun also believed that all the wealth of this outdated former princess was on the ship, and he heard that the princess was still relatively young, so Song Guangchun deliberately snatched her as his wife, and the princess as his wife. Think about it All excited him.

As for Shen Li, he can use her to extort 500,000 yuan of wealth from the Shen family. If he doesn't give it, then he can treat her as his little wife.

Seeing that the red-walled boat was getting closer and closer, Song Guangchun became excited, turned around and shouted: "Both women are mine, no one is allowed to steal them!"

Li Ye put the two exploding arrows on the bowstring, drew the bow like a full moon, and shouted, "Go to hell!"

Two explosive arrows were shot out powerfully and hit the first ship at the same time. Li Ye had a strong intuition that the leader of the thieves, Song Guangchun, was on the first ship.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two exploding arrows exploded at the same time, the bow of the ship was blown to pieces, and the twenty or so water thieves standing on the bow were blown up. Song Guangchun was the first to bear the brunt, and was blown into two pieces at the waist, falling into the water.

The explosive arrows shot by Li Ye were military orders. Thirty soldiers shot thirty explosive arrows at the same time, and a series of violent explosions sounded on the river.

Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li had never seen such a shocking war scene. Their faces turned pale with fear. One on each side, they tightly hugged Li Ye's arms and leaned against him. Li Ye also felt the fear in their hearts. , simply stretched out his hand, hugged both of them tightly under his ribs, and protected them with a strong aura.
