Uncle Nine

Chapter 213

The sea of ​​stars was vast outside, and the cold wind gushed into the house, making the candles flicker.Looking up at the flickering candles, Zhao Shuo lowered his eyes. There was no light in those charming peach blossom eyes, and the chill burst out, as if the winter frost had condensed, all of which were concentrated in the corners of the eyes and brows.With a sigh, he left anyway.

"Fortunately, there is Anu following, Lord don't worry." If it wasn't for the instruction, Anu would dare to disobey his master, otherwise according to the rules of Prince Rui's residence, he would be torn to pieces.

"Out of the capital, the eagle will soar for nine days, and no one can stop her." Zhao Shuo murmured to himself.

Li Huan frowned, "My lord means that she will—"

Zhao Shuo let out a long breath, and then remained silent.

"It's just that Xia Yu left the city on the front foot, and I'm afraid someone will follow her on the back foot." Li Huan said with a sad face, "Su Guogong's mansion, and - even if I think about it, I won't let her go easily. In fact, my lord, I could have kept her by my side." of."

"How to stay?" Zhao Shuo sneered, "You can only gain if you give up. If she doesn't leave, sooner or later she won't be able to keep her. She can be protected for a while, but not forever."

Li Huan was in a daze when he heard these words, our master's thoughts are too heavy, and ordinary people are afraid that it will be difficult to reach, and it is impossible to guess what is in his heart.

With the clatter of horseshoes, Anu went straight to the outside of the city, and Anu used his token to call open the closed city gate, which also alarmed the spies in the city.Many forces were ready to move, and followed closely behind, relentlessly chasing after.

Xia Yu naturally understood that once she went out, if she wanted to come back, she was afraid—it would depend on her own life, whether she was hard enough or not.

Dongfang Xu almost sat up from the bed, hearing the movement outside, it seemed that Dongfang Yue had already been sent out on a mission.

"What's going on?" Putting on a coat casually, Dongfang Xu opened the door and saw Guan Yun hurried over.

Officer Yun hurriedly said, "It's the other end of the main courtyard, and a mission is out."

"Why?" Dongfang Xu frowned, "Is there any movement over there? Is it Prince Rui's Mansion?"

"It's Prince Rui's Mansion." Yun Guan said, "It seems that someone from Prince Rui's Mansion has gone out, so the Duke of the Kingdom sent someone out on a mission, probably for the person who paid for it. But who it is, I don't know for the time being."

Dongfang Xu's eyes darkened slightly. Standing in the cold corridor, he stroked the hair on his shoulders, "So, he should be an extremely important person. Is it Li Huan? Or Prince Rui himself? Go check it out and find out. Who went out, so that the adoptive father is so mobilizing and mobilizing the crowd, and the task is done in the middle of the night."

"Yes." Yun Guan nodded, quickly put on his clothes, turned around and left.

"Wait." Dongfang Xu seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "Which direction are you going?"

"I don't know for the time being, I just said that I'm leaving the city." Yun Guan shook his head.

Dongfang Xu waved his hand, and Yun Guan left quickly.

In the vastness of the stars, he felt some inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't tell where the uneasiness was, he just felt a breath in his chest.He suddenly felt a little inexplicably confused. The moment he looked up at the stars, he remembered Xia Yu's smile again.

The kind of smile that can make people forget all their troubles, the brows are like the moon, and they are as bright as flowers.

In her eyes, there is no power status, no rich or poor, as if no matter who they are.It was so comfortable being with her.She lowered her eyebrows and looked at her palm. If it wasn't for practicing kung fu, if it wasn't for letting her catch snakes, maybe she and him wouldn't be so jealous when they met each other.

Is he wrong?

No, he was right.

Make yourself strong, never wrong.

Only by making yourself strong can you be qualified to fight for anything, even people.

Letting out a long breath, Dongfang Xu straightened his body, glanced at the stars in the sky, then turned and went back into the house.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look in the direction of the main courtyard in astonishment.

Official Yun said that a adoptive father left Xia Yu in the mansion yesterday, and it was Zhao Shuo who asked for it back in person.Could it be that the mission tonight is also for Xia Yu?My heart skipped a beat suddenly, I don't know why I was so panicked.

Is it for her?
What is foster father doing?
Could it be - already know the secret of her invulnerability?

Eyes widened in astonishment, at this moment, there is no sleepiness anymore, the only way to get rid of the big stone in my heart is to wait for the news from Yun Guan.Therefore, he sat all night, waiting for news all night.

What he waited for was the news he least wanted to hear.

The one who left the city was Xia Yu.

The fists in the sleeves were clenched tightly. After all, what should not have happened, still happened.Only this time, Dongfang Xu couldn't figure out what Zhao Shuo was thinking.Knowing that Su Guogong's mansion is watching Xia Yu, dare to let Xia Yu leave the city?Isn't this tiger looking for lice on its head, looking for death?
"Young Master, what should we do?" Yun Guan asked.

Dongfang Xu didn't speak, just sat there and clenched his fists in his sleeves.

After a long time, he gave Yun Guan a cold look, "Do you think this is a game?"

Yun Guan frowned, "My lord, what do you mean, Prince Rui did it on purpose?"

"Knowing that the Duke's mansion is watching Xia Yu, he still dares to let Xia Yu go out of the city in the middle of the night. If Zhao Shuo is not sure, how can he send the duck to someone else's mouth?" It is long enough, and he still has full trust in Zhao Shuo's means and thoughts.Zhao Shuo's mansion is too deep, and he doesn't like to play cards according to common sense. You can't guess what is going on in his heart.

"Young Master said that there was an ambush, it was a trap." Yun Guan nodded, "Prince Rui's thoughts are indeed so. I'm afraid it's just trying to catch him, but I don't know what he intends to do."

"Anyone with me?" he asked.

"Yes, it's still the original two." Yun Guan said.

Dongfang Xu got up, walked slowly to the fish tank, pressed his fingertips on the mouth of the fish tank, and slowly circled along the fish tank, "That Anu is the secret guard next to Prince Rui, a criminal slave, and only obeys Prince Rui's orders. Look It looks like Xia Yu didn't sneak out alone, but was instructed by Prince Rui himself. From this, it can be seen that he had full confidence in releasing Xia Yu. He released the golden rooster to lure the fox, and as expected, he led his adoptive father over , Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo, you old fox is really a thief."

"Then what do we do now?" Yun Guan asked.

Dongfang Xu let out a long breath, "With the stepfather intervening, don't we seek death if we join in? However, if the other side is interested, we can let them go."

Anyway, as long as Xia Yu is caught, he will have time to think of a way.

Regarding Dongfang Yue, Dongfang Xu felt that he still had enough understanding.

At least, it is much higher than the level of knowing Zhao Shuo.

Yun Guan nodded, "Understood!"

"Xia Yu!" Dongfang Xu murmured to himself, and then smiled wryly, "I never thought she would love him so much, that she would even be willing to be the bait for him. It's just that women are stupid, you are willing to be the bait, but you don't know He only thinks you are valuable. Waiting for the value to be destroyed, this bait will no longer be a bait, but a discarded piece, and it will not be used again!"

use!

------------------

It was getting closer and closer to the capital of Daizhou. For some reason, Liang Yiru felt more and more panicked. People kept chasing and killing people along the way, and people kept blocking the way.Originally, after turning over this mountain, it was the capital of Daizhou, but it was obviously a spacious official road, but it was blocked by rocks, and it was impossible to ride across.

But if you make a detour, you won't be able to reach Daizhou until tomorrow evening.

There are many common people moving gravel in front, so that the official road can be repaired as soon as possible.

"What should I do?" Li Kaifu asked.

Liang Yiru sighed softly, "Have someone go over and ask, roughly when it will be repaired."

Li Kaifu nodded, sent someone to inquire, and came back later and said that it would not be repaired until tomorrow morning.In this way, no matter what, he had to return to the original inn and rest for another night.

Yue Baiyi smiled, "Why, seeing Daizhou right in front of me, I feel uneasy. One day earlier, one day later, it makes no difference. Those who deserve to die will die, and those who deserve to live will still live."

Liang Yiru remained silent, and did not return to the original inn.The fast horse walked around the mountain road, maybe it doesn't need to be tomorrow evening, as long as there are no accidents, you can reach Daizhou before noon tomorrow.

Seeing this, Li Kaifu didn't say much.

Liang Yiru is a young master, so they will do whatever he says.Yue Baiyi didn't say much, but it was raining and the mountain road was not easy to walk.It's dense forest again, so we need to be more vigilant.

The fast horse galloped, and the sound of hoofbeats echoed in the woods.

Liang Yiru rushed to Daizhou wholeheartedly to find out the case of Huamanlou, he didn't care about it, he didn't care about anything.It's just that today I'm so flustered, I always feel my heart beating and my eyelids twitching occasionally, as if something is going to happen.

At night, the mountain road was difficult to travel, and the people did not dare to go any further. They found a clean pile of rocks, lit a bonfire, and leaned against the tree trunk to rest.Li Kaifu asked someone to make some game, simmered steamed buns, and filled his stomach.

The guards took turns to watch the night, Liang Yiru remained silent. After eating some steamed buns and game, he turned his back and closed his eyes with his back to Yuebaiyi to rest.

"Master, this Young Master Fu is weird, he has a bad temper, and he even says he is a scholar!" Shan Bing babbled.

Yue Baiyi threw a broken branch into the fire, sighed softly, and fiddled with the fire, "Everyone has their own affairs, and some things cannot be understood by outsiders. If you say he is weird, maybe some people think this is the truth." What about temperament! No one can say anything about things between people."

Shan Bing curled her lips, "What the hall master said makes sense, I'll go get some firewood."

"Don't go too far, the forest is too deep, there may be wild beasts at any time." Yue Baiyi reminded.

"Understood!" Shan Bing took the sword, turned and left.

The bonfire was burning vigorously, and there was a burning sound of beeping.

After a while, Yue Baiyi suddenly stood up with a pale face.

Li Kaifu was stunned, and quickly got up and walked to her side, "What's wrong, Miss Yue?"

"Don't you think it's a little too quiet?" Yue Baiyi said coldly, her sharp eyes quickly glancing over everything around her.In the dark and cold forest, even the wind stopped, as if all the sounds disappeared without a trace.Was it swallowed up by this dark world, or—is this the calm before the storm?
"It seems that something is not right." Li Kaifu clenched the sword in his hand, walked quickly to Liang Yiru's side, and quickly gathered around Liang Yiru with the accompanying guards.

"Bing'er?" Yue Baiyi called out, then narrowed her dangerous eyes.

There was a slight commotion in the woods not far away, and Shan Bing ran over quickly, "Master, I don't think it's right!"

"En!" Yue Baiyi nodded.

Shan Bing quickly threw the firewood into the bonfire, making the bonfire burn more vigorously and better illuminate the surroundings.

"No, let's go!" Yue Baiyi suddenly said coldly, "It's the sound of horseshoes, the number of people is not less than a dozen, let's go!" she shouted, and Li Kaifu quickly led Liang Yiru onto the horse's back.

"Withdraw!" Li Kaifu tightened the reins, "Go, my lord."

It's just that there are obstacles in the way and pursuers, so there is no way to escape.

The signal from Baihua Palace quickly broke through the sky and exploded in the air, although this move undoubtedly exposed his whereabouts.But the bonfire is burning, they will find here sooner or later, and they will be found anyway, so it's better to fight.

The horse team has already surrounded from all directions, surrounding everyone.

"Hall Master?" Shan Bing gritted his teeth, "It's the gang of Heisha League's life-or-death bastards again."

Yue Baiyi sneered twice, "Well, you Black Shameng, with our Baihua Palace here today, no one will touch Liang Yiru. Anyone who is an enemy of our Baihua Palace will die!"

The headed man in black's eyes were sharp, and his eyes stopped on Yue Baiyi for a moment, his pupils shrank, and then he focused his eyes on Liang Yiru, "Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people. Kill!"

As soon as the sound fell, the men in black swarmed up, their swords and swords flashing with murderous aura.

How could Yue Baiyi be polite to you, raised the sword in his hand, and cut off the head of a man in black, with the tip of the sword raised slightly, he threw it directly under the leader's horse.The attack was quick and ruthless, without any hesitation.

Li Kaifu protected Liang Yiru, quickly retreated to the chaotic rocks, and formed a tight circle with everyone, so as not to teach Liang Yiru to be injured.It's just that there are too many people from the other party, and the people from Baihua Palace may not be able to arrive in time. Even the nearby Baihua Palace's dark whistle still needs a long journey.

Leaping forward, Yue Baiyi went straight to the leading man in black.

Shoot people first, shoot horses, capture thieves first capture kings!
What Yue Baiyi didn't expect was that just as she was fighting with the leading man in black, the man in black behind him had already taken out the bow and arrows on his horse, and pointed them at Liang Yiru in unison.At this moment, she wanted to withdraw and protect Liang Yiru, but she couldn't.The man in black knew that she was from Baihua Palace, so he deliberately avoided her so as not to cause trouble for the Heisha League.

"Liang Yiru!" Yue Baiyi shouted.

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired.

Before long, the black cloak swirled out suddenly, and quickly slid past the heads of the crowd.A beautiful figure, floating like a ghost, lured herself to Liang Yiru's side in the blink of an eye, her palms suddenly concentrated, and her long cloak swirled in an instant to block arrows.Before everyone could recover, she flew and grabbed the corner of the cloak, and stepped in the air, directly rebounding the cold arrow caught in the cloak.

There was only a burst of wailing, and many people in black fell down because they had been on guard.

With a "boom", the cold sword came out of its sheath, and under the scorching fire, Dongfang Qing was covered with a cold and murderous aura.The man in black headed by Leng Jianzhi, her good kung fu was all taught by Dongfang Yue, and she was three points better than ordinary people.However, Yue Baiyi narrowed her eyes slightly, why is this woman's martial arts so similar to her own Baihua Palace's martial arts?
Evil enough, sinister enough, as if—

However, in the current situation, Yue Baiyi couldn't allow Yue Baiyi to think too much, and when he flew up, he cooperated closely with Dongfang Qing.Only the sound of the cold sword piercing through the body and the sound of blood splattering was heard, and the leader of the man in black was stabbed to the vital point by Yue Baiyi and Dongfang Qing with one sword, and was killed on the spot!

The leader is dead, and the subordinates will naturally scatter like birds and beasts.

Don't chase the poor, and now is not the time for them to chase.

A flurry of arrows was fired, and the guards were all killed and injured. Except for the only remaining guard and Li Kaifu, the people sent by the emperor to Liang Yiru had already reported to the Palace of the King of Hell before they arrived at Daizhou.

Putting the sword back into its sheath, Dongfang Qing took a deep breath, finally closed her eyes and turned around, pursed her lips and looked at Liang Yiru who was standing in the firelight, but she didn't know how to speak.She smiled bleakly, "That - I was actually passing by."

She bit her lips tightly, the words in the snow that day were still in her ears, and his rejection was still written in the corners of her eyes and brows.

"You don't have to worry about it. Although I am from Su Guogong's mansion, I have no malicious intentions. I—" She blushed and clenched the scabbard in her hand. "If you think you will see me So comfortable, I—I can go now."

After saying that, she walked towards her horse.

When he got off the horse, Dongfang Qing glanced back at Liang Yiru who didn't say a word, "It's Shen Hao who wants to kill you, so be careful yourself. It's not a peaceful journey."

"Shen Hao?" Liang Yiru was stunned, "You mean brother Shen?"

"Besides him, do you know the second Shen Hao?" Dongfang Qing took a deep breath, "I know, it may be difficult for you to accept this, but Shen Hao is a despicable person, and it is not wrong for him to do such a thing. This is the first time. If I cling to my adoptive father, my conduct will not be much better. The adoptive father uses him—" She dare not mention her marriage, "The adoptive father uses Shen Hao's hand to kill you, such a righteous father Father can get rid of you without a trace, and without causing embarrassment. Do you understand what I mean?"

Liang Yiru nodded, "I understand."

Dongfang Qing pursed her lips, "Then, do you believe me?"

"I believe." Liang Yiru looked at her steadfastly, and Dongfang Qing in the firelight lost all the hostility he had just now.To be honest, the moment she appeared, she could almost be described as astonishing, and her excellent martial arts skills would not let any woman like her panic.

But, let your martial arts be outstanding, let you be invincible, and people's hearts are hard to attack.

It's not easy for you to capture someone's heart.

What's more, this heart already belongs to another.

Dongfang Qingzhong was stunned for a moment, frowned and stared at him, suddenly a little unspeakably excited.She nodded fiercely, raised her lips and smiled, "Thank you."

"Girl, it's hard to walk at night, let's go together!" Yue Baiyi said.

Hearing this, Dongfang Qing looked up at Liang Yiru, but she was too embarrassed to stay if he didn't speak.His refusal at the beginning had actually separated the distance from each other, how could she shamelessly approach her?Even if she came to save him, she had made up her mind to be so brazen.

But if you can't help yourself, what else can you do?
Liang Yiru tightened the reins, his face changed slightly, "Then let's go together!"

The sound fell, and he rode away.

Dongfang Qing was overjoyed, she glanced at Yue Baiyi gratefully, immediately got on her horse, and hurriedly chased away.

Shan Bing frowned, "This girl is so strange, with such good martial arts, how can she seem to be afraid of Liang Shaofu?"

"What do you know!" Yue Baiyi got on the horse and chuckled, "A man's love with a woman is a beautiful thing in the world, but it seems that Mr. Liang doesn't seem to be very interested in her. The so-called Lang Youqingmei is interested in her, but it's a pity that I'm afraid it's a single now. Lovesickness. It's not fear, but admiration but can't get it, so I don't dare to cross the line."

After saying that, hurry up and chase after him.

Shan Bing pouted, a hundred thousand people didn't understand.

The sound of horseshoes crushed the stars and the dawn.It was tiring enough to drive all night, but fortunately there was no disturbance along the way, and we arrived safely outside the capital of Daizhou.

Familiar city gates, familiar land boundaries, and familiar air.

The feeling of returning to the homeland is really indescribable.

His tired face was swept away by the excitement in his heart, and the nostalgia between his brows and eyes has now turned into mist in his eye sockets.Liang Yiru rode his horse and looked at the towering city gate with mixed emotions in his heart. He didn't know what to say, so he just said, "The scholar is still the same, and the accent has not changed to the commoner."

Finally, back to Daizhou.

It's just that the woman who promised to come back together didn't come back together.

Is the Daizhou capital without Ayu still the original Daizhou capital?

Dismount and walk back to the city.

Every plant, every tree, every house and every tile are all familiar to him.Although we have been away for only a few months, it seems as if we have been separated for a long time.It turned out that he was a child who couldn't grow up, a fool who couldn't leave home.

Nostalgic, nostalgic people.

Taking a deep breath, he led the horse through dawn, the empty long street, and the bluestone slabs under his feet echoed clearly with the sound of horseshoes, like the sound of knocking on the soul, and the sound was long and continuous.

Standing in front of the ruins of the former Huamanlou site, the ruins after being exposed to the sun and rain showed unprecedented embarrassment and embarrassment.

The former Yingying Yanyan, prosperous and beautiful, suddenly disappeared like a dream.

"My lord?" Li Kaifu stepped forward, "This is—"

"This is Huamanlou." Liang Yiru sighed softly, "Can you imagine, a few months ago, I was still walking around here. A few months later, I can only stand here and sigh, the feeling of impermanence in the world?"

Li Kaifu frowned, looking at the dark and charred ruins in disbelief.Walking slowly into the ruins, there is nothing left after the fire, and the ruins after the fire spread, there is nothing but memories.

Liang Yiru walked over slowly, then squatted down, and gently brushed off the ashes and mud stains on the plaque. The words "Hua Man Lou" had been eroded by the wind and rain.

Dongfang Qing stood behind him, fixedly staring at the blurred words Huamanlou on the plaque, and then looked up at the ruins, "It can be seen that the fire that day must have been very violent."

"Are all the people inside dead? It's on fire and you don't know how to put out the fire? I'm afraid it's not an accident!" Yue Baiyi sneered twice, "Looking at the degree of burning of the ruins, there should be combustion aids."

Liang Yiru got up and wiped the dust from his hands, "More than 100 people died here." After saying that, he turned and walked towards his horse, "Let's go, let's go back to the magistrate's office first."

Some things, I'd better go back and discuss with my father.

In the distance, many eyes were staring at it, and then submerged in the darkness before dawn.

Yue Baiyi stopped slightly, turned her face slightly to the left and right, her eyes darkened slightly.

"Let's go! Xiao Xiao is quite small, but he won't be rampant for long." Dongfang Qing sneered and walked forward.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and Yue Baiyi chuckled wantonly, "It's best, otherwise it's really boring." After finally coming to Daizhou Mansion, I should find something to do, otherwise I'll be blind with that nerd all day long Wandering around, don't suffocate her to death.

Now is just right, I can still find some fun for myself, and I can practice my hands.It's not bad to try the taste of an eagle catching a chicken.Anyway, as long as Liang Yiru's life is saved, it is considered an explanation to the right envoy and the young master, and the rest - she has to plan carefully.It is not easy to catch the mice hiding in the darkness one by one.

However, it is man-made.

She suddenly became interested, it was rare to have a good game, it really was great.

Counting the time with your fingers, the right envoy is on the way.So when can we see the young master?It would be even better if I could meet the young master!Do things beautifully, and then follow Liang Yiru back to the capital, and you will be able to meet the young master in a dignified manner.

Great, let's do it!
------------------

On the bank of the long river, the scenery is excellent.All the way south, the winter is fading.

Thousands of sails have passed through the mountains, and the midwinter is still green.

Laughing at ancient and modern literati, it is difficult to draw a picture with ink and pen.

Standing on the bow of the boat, facing the wind, looking at the vast expanse of blue waves, and the turbulent waves hitting the shore, Xia Yu has the feeling of letting birds fly in the open sea and sky.Smelling the air full of freedom, I feel back to my former self.

"Young master, be careful, don't get too close to the railing, it's not safe in case of strong winds and waves." Xun Mei smiled, standing behind Xia Yu with her sword in her arms.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Xia Yu took a deep breath and smiled brightly, "You know? The world outside is suitable for me. Although the capital is good, the air is dead. Here, the wind is also alive."

Xunmei laughed and said, "The young master has been held back for too long!"

"In the past, I thought I was a bird without feet, and I couldn't stay for anyone. It wasn't until I met Zhao Laojiu that I realized that it wasn't that I couldn't stay, but that no one was worth staying for. But now , I found an excuse to stop. When everything calms down, it’s up to him whether he wants me or not.” She said with a smile, and after she left the capital, her mind was full of Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo who was eating, Zhao Shuo who was drinking tea, Zhao Shuo who was teaching her how to write, Zhao Shuo who was sleeping, and the back of Zhao Shuo when he left.

It turns out that if I miss a person so much, the whole world will become him.

"The young master has been poisoned." Xun Mei joked, "Prince Rui, you are really powerful. He will gain a lot from this heart."

Xia Yu chuckled, and said shamelessly, "I'm not at a disadvantage. I slept with the most beautiful man in the world without spending a penny. Others are not so lucky! Besides, he is so superior—" She paused After a pause, "Actually, it's not good to be high above. Don't you have a saying that high places are too cold?"

The corner of Xunmei's mouth twitched, "Young master, it's too cold to be high."

"Anyway, the high place is too cold!" Xia Yu curled her lips, "I always feel that he is different from others. He probably doesn't like to stand so high. Although he grows tall and stands tall, his heart is not high." Then He smiled foolishly again, "At least that's how I feel."

"What if the prince is just using you?" Xunmei asked.

Xia Yu glanced at her, took a deep breath against the wind, "Then am I still useful now?"

"You are the young master of Baihua Palace, so you should have greater use value." Xunmei replied very seriously.

She looked back and smiled, "Then I can still stay by his side, can't I?"

Xun Meizhong was startled, "Aren't the young master angry?"

"Why are you angry?" Xia Yu asked, "If I am angry, won't he use me? If I am angry, my value will increase? Or will everyone in the world accommodate me when I am angry? Since nothing It will change, why should I torture myself, and cheapen those who are just waiting to see my jokes? If Zhao Laojiu uses me, I am also very happy that he can have this pair of eyes. Uncle Xia can not be used casually of."

Xunmei chuckled, "Young Master's thoughts are really different from ordinary people."

"You say that whether I comfort myself or lie to myself, I just want to make myself feel better anyway. Thinking about so many things that didn't happen, don't you just find yourself to suffer? It's not easy to live a lifetime. You can't choose your origin, at least you can choose yourself. The way to go." Xia Yu took a deep breath and laughed three times against the wind, "Uncle Xia can't be beaten to death."

Xunmei laughed out loud.

Turning his head, he saw Anu coming out, his expression was not very good.

"What's wrong?" Xunmei frowned.

"There are too many people on the passenger ship, I always feel uneasy. Be careful at night, I'm worried—" Anu lowered his eyes, and said something tacitly.

Xunmei nodded, Xia Yu pursed her lips, "I will protect myself, I agreed, and I will stay with him!"

There are thousands of hectares of blue waves and sparkling water.

After nightfall, the wind on the boat became stronger, and there were many boats going down the river.The night wind was howling, making the windows creak and creak, and the boat sailed through the night to reach Daizhou as soon as possible.

Compared with the land route, the water route takes longer, but it is safe enough.At least on the boat, there are not many people, and there are few things to do, so there will be no things that cut the path halfway.Moreover, along the south of the Yangtze River, I have never heard of any water bandits and pirates, so it should be the safest.

Xunmei closed the window, Anu closed the door, and the noisy cabin became quiet in an instant.

It was noisy outside, and everyone liked to gather at the bow of the boat after dinner, talking about everything, so there were many people coming and going in the passage, and it was very noisy.

"It's safer to stay in the cabin." Xunmei said, "Nowadays there are dragons and snakes out there, so the young master should not go out. It will take about seven or eight days to go to Daizhou, enough for us to toss along the way."

Xia Yu smiled, "Don't get off the boat when the time comes, you won't be able to walk!"

Anu frowned slightly, her water skills were the worst among the three, it could be said that she was not even as good as Xia Yu's fur.

"I used to be on a boat in the early years, so it's okay." Xunmei poured a glass of water and handed it to Xia Yu, but when she heard that something was wrong outside, she immediately got up, "It seems that there is a fight."

Isn't that right, there was a noise, accompanied by the sound of the collision of weapons and iron.

Anu was slightly startled, and carefully opened a crack in the door to look out.It doesn't matter at this point, when he regained his senses, Anu's eyebrows suddenly raised, "Oh no, it's them."

The door closed quickly, and Anu quickly looked around the room, "Let's go quickly, it's the dark men of Su Guogong's mansion. We are being targeted!"

While speaking, Xunmei had already opened the window, but there was no one outside, "Young master, go quickly."

Xia Yu climbed out of the window without saying a word, and there was a narrow ship's side outside, but although this cameo was big, it only had such a small space, where else could it go?The wind and waves are high below, and it can be regarded as a desperate situation.

"We can only force the boat to stop." Xia Yu bit her lip, "There should be a pier not far ahead, so—" She glanced at Xunmei.

Xunmei nodded, "Understood, you guys hide, I'll set the fire."

Xia Yu chuckled, "Smart!"

Taking a deep breath, taking advantage of people's inattention, Xunmei's figure was nimble, and she quickly jumped over the tall building to a secluded place.No one noticed her, she carefully pulled a section of the curtain, took out the torch in her arms and lit a fire, and put it on the railing casually.

The railings were all wooden structures and were quickly set ablaze.

"It's on fire." Xunmei shouted, and quickly ran away.
