Chapter 26: Entering Beijing (3)
Song Lingyi is the most protective person, since the water bandit is Xie Qiong's second sister-in-law, there is naturally a reason to rob money, Xie Qiong does not move, she will not move.
The people on the merchant ship were in a commotion with the words just now, and the captain of the ship stopped shouting a few times, but he couldn't stop most of the people from pouring onto the bow of the ship, and the people on board were complicated, and gradually the crying of children also came out.
Xie Qiong's second sister-in-law didn't talk nonsense, and took the brothers on the boat, no matter how the boat boss negotiated, she ignored everything, and rushed directly into the cabin with a knife, carrying five large boxes out, and there were some sounds of blades connecting during the process.
The torches on the water bandit boat illuminated the river more brightly, and the cries and begging for mercy on the big boat were louder, but the scene of killing women and children did not appear.
Song Lingyi followed the boat into the water village, and after a few gates, he officially went ashore and sat down, feeling very magical, and a pair of big eyes purred and looked around.
There was a lot of inconvenience in the scene just now, but at this time, Xie Qiong officially introduced her, and introduced her to the second sister-in-law, Lu Bingyue, who was actually the second daughter-in-law of the Xie family.
Lu Bingyue was the only daughter of the head of the water village, after falling in love with the Xie family when she was young, she married into the Xie family, she was straightforward by nature and strong in martial arts, because Xie Qiong was the youngest son of the Xie family, she played a lot with him when she was a child, and the relationship was also close.
At this time, he directly pulled Song Lingyi and showed his straightforward temperament: "This is my little brother and sister!"
Thick-skinned as Song Lingyi didn't know how to reply, Xie Qiong coughed and said, "Second sister-in-law, why did you go back to Shuizhai?"
"Don't interrupt, I'm not coming back from a quarrel with your second brother this time, I'll take you to see what's in the box later, and you'll know." Lu Bingyue ignored Xie Qiong, and spoke to Song Lingyi again: "Lingyi is right? How old is this year? You have been studying together since you were a child, Qiong'er is a stuffy jar, can you bully you?"
Song Ling felt funny when he heard a series of questions, and felt that he was being married to someone, so he said generously: "Sister Bingyue, the little senior brother is very good and has taught me a lot of things. ”
"What is it called, sister, you can call me second sister-in-law with Qiong'er, anyway, sooner or later!"
Both of them are young, and although they are close on weekdays, occasionally people joke, one is cheeky and the other is paralyzed, and they are not afraid of what people say.
Now that he was suddenly said so directly, Song Lingyi was also a little embarrassed, she liked it, she liked it, she was used to being close to him since she was a child, and she didn't have any defense between men and women, and she felt distressed when she saw him injured.
When Miao Zhai rejected Aqing, she was very sure that she wouldn't like him, but for Xie Qiong, it was difficult to say.
She looked at him as if she were a perfect treasure, guarded and protected since she was a child, attracted by his beauty, but being his wife was something she had never thought about.
She felt that she couldn't admit this matter at will, and the little senior brother might also be embarrassed, so she laughed and joked: "Sister Bingyue's name is so good, I have to call it a few more times!"
Lu Bingyue originally saw Xie Qiong escorting and holding this little girl all the way, and she had also heard that this little girl sent him to the car and went home every New Year's Day, so she opened her mouth directly.
Seeing that Xie Qiong's expression was a little cold, she was keenly aware that this little girl was afraid that she was still unenlightened, and glanced at Xie Qiong with a slight mockery, the stinky boy couldn't even chase people!
So she also skipped this stubble with a smile and took the two of them to see the five boxes she had just snatched.
The boxes were lined up on the ground, and Lu Bingyue walked over and opened them one after another, and the contents inside were presented in front of him.
Song Lingyi didn't see the few boxes of gold jewelry he imagined, two boxes contained books, calligraphy and paintings, and the other three were cultural curiosities.
Xie Qiong stepped forward and picked up the calligraphy and paintings and looked at the two: "Fake." ”
Lu Bingyue nodded: "The calligraphy and painting are fake, and the literary games are real." ”
"What does that mean?"
"Literary toys are used for bribery, and secret letters are hidden in calligraphy and paintings. Together, they were transported to the capital by ordinary merchant ships. ”
Contacting his second brother's position, this secret letter will not be simple, Xie Qiong figured out the trick: "The second brother is in Beijing at this time?"
Lu Bingyue put away her smile, and her eyes were a little more worried: "Yes." The situation in the capital is tense, why do you want to enter Beijing?"
"I was ordered by the teacher to send medicine. ”
Lu Bingyue seemed to think of something again, and reminded: "Go and return quickly, don't stay in Beijing." If something happens, go find your second brother as soon as possible, don't make trouble. ”
Xie Qiong should go down.
Song Lingyi listened to the conversation between the two in a daze, feeling that the topic changed quickly, and he couldn't grasp the point.
She simply spoke: "Sister Bingyue, this box is not very valuable, what is the use of you snatching it?"
"Give them to my husband as a gift. ”
"Just now the junior brother said that his second brother is in Beijing, so do we need to take it with us?"
"Thank you Lingyi for your kindness, but don't bother you, I will send a boat to send you, and by the way, I will also bring you two to the capital. ”
Song Ling thanked her, and Lu Bingyue remembered the corpse of the man in black floating on the river before: "I see that before we got on the boat, someone had already come, and you have been on that boat, do you know which passerby?"
"We were chased and killed by corpse refiners before, and the little senior brother decided to take the waterway instead, and those men in black should also come to us!"
Xie Qiong nodded, and asked again, "Second sister-in-law, do you know Baizhai?"
"I haven't heard of it. ”
"What about white as the wind?
"White as the wind, is it a double hammer?"
Song Lingyi also came over: "Yes, a double hammer, do you recognize Sister Bingyue?"
"This person is the late general of the protector of the country, General Bai Lao's personal soldiers, in the northwest frontier for several years as a feudal official, quite famous, after the death of General Bai Lao, he posted a post to ask for retirement, since then he has been missing. ”
"Uncle Bai is really powerful, he really has been a general!"
Lu Bingyue looked at Xie Qiong suspiciously: "You were hunted down and killed because of this person?"
"Bai Rufeng is the owner of Baizhai, we visited unexpectedly, preventing those people from slaughtering the village, the owner of Baizhai should have brought the people and moved away, and those people chased and killed all the way because of this. ”
"With your skills, there are few people who can hurt you. "Lu Bingyue still knows a lot about Xie Qiong's ability, and her little uncle has been a cultivation genius since she was a child.
Song Lingyi hurriedly replied: "Sister Bingyue, the little senior brother really won't let them get hurt, but that group of corpse refiners, day and night, get a group of corpses out to besiege the two of us, don't worry if you don't rest well, you still feel nauseous and have no appetite, we can only come by water." ”
It is true that the waterway will no longer be surrounded by rotting corpses, but it is also a good way, Lu Bingyue nodded: "The previous batch of black-clothed people who came on the boat should also be with those corpse refiners, they should have seen you on the boat, so they came up to assassinate, and you will set off on my boat tomorrow, don't worry about this." ”
