Chapter 507
Someone else shouted: "The water gushed out suddenly for no reason, and I didn't hear any movement. My lord... Could it be that there are water ghosts taking their lives? The little ones, there are old and young, and they don't want to die yet... ...If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken this job..."

Few people who live by the water have never heard stories about water ghosts taking their lives. Hearing this, they couldn't help becoming more and more flustered, especially when Ling Mengqi and others found their soap leather boots After being drenched, the water had reached the second cabin at some point, and it was still bubbling upwards. Not only the boatmen, but even the guards in Jinyi began to panic.

Ling Mengqi suddenly shouted: "Fengcheng, you are good at water. If you order ten good water people to go into the water immediately, I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost underwater!" Since becoming Jin Yiwei, I have seen countless strange things, and I want to fool him with this little trick!
Feng Cheng responded loudly, and quickly ordered ten people to jump into the water. Ling Mengqi suddenly pulled out his Xiuchun knife, and slashed at the ten or so boatmen with all his strength.

Seeing that the dozen or so boatmen who were supposed to be powerless to resist, but should only be splashed with blood on the spot, all dodged vigorously, and then immediately showed their true colors, one of them shouted: "Ling Mengqi, die!" The people either pulled out the soft swords at their waists, or took out other weapons from their sleeves, and they all went to greet Ling Mengqi.

Seeing this, Meng Xingyun hurriedly led his men to join the battle group, and the two groups of people fought in a scuffle.

Ling Mengqi didn't bring many people with him on this trip, including Shang Fengcheng and Meng Xingyun, there were no more than 30 people. Now that Fengcheng took ten people into the water, there were only a dozen people left on the boat. The other party didn't know how many people there were, and what's worse, the people on Jin Yiwei's side were fighting, and they were all powerless. In less than a cup of tea, only Ling Mengqi and Meng Xingyun were left together The five royal guards still gritted their teeth and persisted.

Fortunately, Fengcheng quickly returned to the boat from the water. Although his whole body was dripping with water, he immediately joined the battle group, and Ling Mengqi and others got a chance to catch their breath.

After a little relaxation, Ling Mengqi realized that his back was a little numb and his body was slowly losing control. He took a deep breath and touched his shoulder blade with his backhand. As expected He touched a diamond-shaped hidden weapon. He remembered that he was accidentally hit by the opponent during the fight. At that time, he thought it should be nothing. Now it seems that the hidden weapon is obviously poisoned, and the poison is more poisonous than he imagined. Awesome, who wants to kill him, who has the ability to mobilize so many masters, and arranges so carefully?
Fortunately, the other Jinyiwei brought by Fengcheng have returned one after another, and it seems that they have not received any medicine, and the opponent has almost died or injured after fighting for so long. Jinyiwei gradually controlled the situation. Ling Mengqi dared to follow his body's instincts and let himself pass out, but before he fainted, he didn't forget to tell Fengcheng: "Keep a life alive, and interrogate me personally when I wake up..."

"No—" At the same time, Lu Mingxuan, who was sleeping in her own room in Kongcui Pavilion, suddenly yelled, and woke up from the dream, only to realize that she was just having a nightmare, and the tragedy in the dream didn't really happen. But even so, she was still dripping with cold sweat, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Danqing, who was on duty outside at night, rushed in quickly upon hearing the sound. Seeing that Lu Mingxuan was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly, her voice changed her tune: "Girl, are you alright?" I sent someone back to Grandma Lu to invite the doctor.

Lu Mingxuan was shocked, she patted her chest and said to Danqing: "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare, I'm fine now, you just go to sleep, I'll be fine after a rest." Even so, her heart was still beating extremely fast. Just now she dreamed that Ling Mengqi was injured and fell into a pool of blood. Old people often say that dreams are opposite to reality. They hope that she is just scaring herself, but in fact Ling Mengqi Meng Qi is fine!

Seeing her like this, Danqing dared to rest assured to sleep on her own, and said: "I'd better stay with the girl."

Paused, remembering that these days she was worried that Ling Mengqi would almost be unable to eat and sleep at night. I was afraid that she would think about it day by day and dream at night, so she cautiously said, "What kind of nightmare did the girl have?" , You are so scared, but it has something to do with Mr. Ling? Dreams and reality are the opposite, don't scare yourself, Mr. Ling is auspicious, and he will surely turn disasters into auspiciousness and disasters."

"Really?" Lu Mingxuan still had a pale face, but her breathing became a little more steady, "I did dream that he was injured, I just hope it's true as you said, dream and reality are opposite, I was scaring myself Do it yourself."

It's just that for the rest of the time, Lu Mingxuan couldn't fall asleep no matter what, and she refused to push Danqing to sleep, so Lu Mingxuan had no choice but to ask her to go to his bed, and talked with her in some way, so as to ease his heart. The panic was also to pass the time, until it was almost dawn, and then he dozed off again in a daze.

After waking up at dawn, the first thing Lu Mingxuan did was to send Danbi to find Huzi and ask him if he had the latest news about his young master. Although it was just a dream, she still couldn't get the news that Ling Mengqi was safe and sound. peace of mind.

About an hour later, Danbi came back, bent his knees and said: "Brother Huzi said that he has not heard from the young master recently, but counting the days, the young master's mission should have been completed, and it is time to set foot on the return journey. I think it will take a while It's possible that you won't be able to write the letter for a while, maybe someone will come back before the letter, so the girl doesn't have to worry."

Is it really because people are already on their way back that they feel there is no need to write letters?However, Lu Mingxuan's heart didn't fall back to the same place because of this, she still didn't sink, she always had a bad feeling, after all, it's not that Ling Mengqi never went on similar long trips in the past, and it's not that she didn't get hurt, but she didn't. Which time was it like this time that she was worried about gains and losses from the beginning, let alone having nightmares... She even wanted to go to the temple to worship.

A few days later, there was still no news of Ling Mengqi from Huzi, but Lu Mingxuan's 14th birthday was getting closer and closer. Although she told herself over and over again that 'no news is good news', she couldn't believe it. Every day more and more flustered.

Madam Lu saw it in her eyes, so she naturally knew why she was in a hurry, remembering that when the old man was fighting outside, she was always like this, she couldn't help but sighed secretly, and then called Grandma Lu to her, Instruct him to prepare two tables of wine and call a few jugglers and storytellers, then let Lu Mingxuan relax for a day.

So it was the day of Lu Mingxuan's birthday, although Lu Mingxuan was dying of anxiety because Ling Mengqi not only broke his promise and didn't come back, but he didn't even have any news, but she didn't like Mrs. Lu's wishes, so she got up early and put on makeup After dressing up and walking around, I finally went to Mrs. Lu's house to kowtow to her old man.
