Chapter 66: The Assassin

Zhao Feng stood on the side of the boat and did not move, the wind blew his robe up, his posture was independent, and the two guards of the Yan family stood below, facing him on his back, and his body did not move.

"Brother Lin, you don't know, your family's entourage is really extraordinary, I really opened my eyes today!" Yan Hanyu's eyebrows rose, and he walked forward as he spoke.

Seeing this, Zhao Feng looked down at her defensively. What did she do when she came over? Want to push him? She doesn't have the strength!

"Zhao Feng, do you go down by yourself, or will I help you?" Yan Hanyu said with his head tilted.

"Master!" Zhao Feng looked at Zhao Runlin like a help. Isn't he stupid to let him jump ship by himself? How could he do this!

"Brother Lin, he offended me today, should he let him go down to the river to take a bath?" Hanyu asked back.

"He sometimes manages too many things, he should teach him a lesson!" Zhao Runlin said softly.

"Master!" Zhao Feng wailed, "This is the Bianhe River, and you can't go down." โ€

Zhao Runlin continued, "Or do you want to admit your mistake in front of Uncle Lei?"

Zhao Feng's legs trembled.

Uncle Lei is Zhao Feng's father, Zhao Honglei, and also the chief of the guard by Zhao Runlin's side. is also Zhao Runlin's subordinate, Zhao Honglei has always been fair, Zhao Feng made mistakes, and Zhao Honglei never favored him because he was his son.

Zhao Feng thought that if he went to his father's side to admit his mistake and be punished, it would be like a bone change. is also the master's subordinate, Zhao Feng has been punished many times since he was a child because he was stubborn, and this martial art naturally has the credit of being punished, all of which were honed by his father.

An invisible silver needle fell on Yan Hanyu's hand, and before she could reach out and touch his boot, the silver needle had pierced his foot.

Zhao Feng was in pain, exclaimed, and slipped down the side of the ship. After all, he was a man with martial arts, so he reached out in time and grabbed the rope on the side of the boat, tightly wrapped it around his arm, and the whole person was staggered and hung in the air.

Yan Hanyu laughed gloatingly and said to her two guards. "Put the long rope, don't untie the rope, let him play in the water, and pull him up again!"

Zhao Feng noticed that he was falling deeper and lower. Hurriedly shouted, "Ah! You actually came to the real thing, I really misjudged you! Don't let me go......"

"Don't worry, Brother Lin has my protection, you can swim all the way to Jinling. Yan Hanyu shouted down with a delicate voice. She felt that the martial arts of an imperial relative's entourage were much higher than the guards of her Taifu family. So being dragged forward by the big boat, this little endurance can still be endured, right? She was sure that he would not let go of the rope in his hand, unless he did not want to get on the boat.

A galleon was moving against the wind, fast, with a man in tow, and the ship kept moving forward.

Mrs. Yan's eldest granddaughter, naturally no one dares to talk about her actions!

Zhao Feng will no longer think that this is a kind, cute and bullying little girl, this is obviously a little witch, and she has a lot of bad brains hidden in her heart. Swim to Jinling. It is better to say that the corpse has floated to Jinling! He didn't have time to think about it, and he had already eaten a mouthful of river water in his mouth.

Yan Hanyu didn't have much opinion on Zhao Feng, but felt a little more cordial to him, so she would quarrel with him like this, and this kindness originated from her little uncle.

In the previous life, the little uncle always bullied her, but in the previous life, Hanyu was reserved since she was a child, and her temperament was used to forbearance, and she would not take her uncle's words to heart, but the little uncle said a lot, so that her grandmother heard it a few times. Listening to her personal maid's complaint, in order to protect her, her grandmother would pick up a stick and chase after her uncle to beat her. She was glad to think of these things, and she missed her grandmother's affection for her.

Yan Hanyu turned around. saw that Zhao Runlin had already turned around and entered the cabin.

"Pull him up. Hanyu didn't want to toss Zhao Feng in the first place, she dropped a sentence and hurriedly followed.

Yan Hanyu followed, and when he arrived at his door, he saw Zhao Runlin sitting in front of a long couch, and there was a game of chess in front of him.

"Come in. His voice was calm and unwavering, and he couldn't hear anything.

Mama Zhou was waiting at the door. Hanyu entered the door and asked in a low voice, "Brother Lin, are you angry?"

"No, his usual tight-tongued voice is to teach him a lesson. โ€

Hanyu sighed.

Zhao Feng was pulled onto the deck, lying on the deck weakly, more ugly than the water dog at the moment, his clothes were wet, and his head was still dripping with water, looking extremely downcast. He coughed up a few mouthfuls of water, stood up with his legs still shaking, and the wolf entered the cabin and stood in the doorway.

"Master. The tone was very plaintive.

Yan Hanyu turned around and smiled at him.

Zhao Runlin half-lowered his eyes, looked at his chessboard, did not raise his head, and said, "Go and change your clothes." โ€

"Yes. โ€

Zhao Feng left, and there was silence in the cabin, only the crisp sound of intermittently falling chess pieces and the sound of rushing water outside.

Zhao Runlin looked up and saw her looking at the chess game in front of her, and asked, "Can you play chess?"

"Some. โ€

"How about a game with me?" he had seen her poems, but he didn't know her chess skills.

"Good. โ€

After receiving her answer, Zhao Runlin lowered his eyes and began to pick up the chess pieces on the chessboard, looking serious.

His hands are slender and his five knuckles are distinct, twisting the pieces on the chessboard, not in a hurry.

Yan Hanyu looked up at his face again, he pursed his lips, his eyes were half lowered, and his face was as moist as jade. She inexplicably remembered a poem: There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. There are bandit gentlemen, full of ears and ears, and will be like stars. There are bandit gentlemen, such as gold and tin, and gui and bi.

Zhao Runlin raised his eyes.

Yan Hanyu hurriedly lowered her eyes, this is the first time she has done this kind of peeping at people, she is a little weak-hearted, she really doesn't know more and more about being ashamed, staring at others.

"I'm thirsty. She made a reason, "Mama Zhou, help me get some water." โ€

Mama Zhou answered.

When she first started to play chess, Yan Hanyu was still a little casual, after all, she didn't need much advanced chess skills at such a young age, and she hadn't lost half of the chess pieces, Yan Hanyu found that she could hide her face and escape, the chessboard was full of sieges, this game was over, and she was still not satisfied with losing the game?

Zhao Runlin seemed to see her embarrassment, and they tacitly agreed with each other, and only asked, "Do you want to do it again?"

Yan Hanyu's small figure sat up straight, and she nodded again and again, "Well, start over." I'll do it this time. โ€

Immediately after a game of chess, Hanyu used his heart, and the fall was very slow, and the hour passed quickly. It was soon time for lunch.

Zhao Feng also changed his clothes and stood at the door, "Master, it's time for dinner, the people below asked." Did Miss Yan also eat here? If so, they were brought together. โ€

Yan Hanyu played this game of chess very carefully, hesitated for a moment before reacting, looked up at Zhao Runlin, a pair of moist eyes were open, and he looked confused.

Zhao Runlin raised his lips and chuckled lightly, and asked her, "Are you hungry?" It's already noon. โ€

Yan Hanyu came back to his senses and nodded, "Then bring it up, let's continue after eating." "Speaking of being hungry. She also really noticed that she was hungry, but she still had her stomach full and nourished some energy before continuing.

After lunch, Hanyu's habit was to take a lunch break, and after dropping a few chess pieces, he began to feel sleepy, nodding his head again and again, and he couldn't concentrate.

Seeing this, Zhao Runlin reminded her, "Go to sleep, and come back when you wake up." Thinking about it slowly, I just don't move this game of chess. โ€

Yan Hanyu responded listlessly, got up and went to his cabin for a lunch break.

After a good night's sleep, Hanyu also refreshed his spirits. came to play chess with Zhao Runlin again.

It was a game of chess in the morning, and after the last word in Hanyu's hand fell, she couldn't help but lower her head and bit her lower lip, using up all the skills of the previous life, she still lost ugly.

There are people outside the people, and there are heavens outside the sky. She shouldn't be arrogant just because of some other people's words.

People say that the daughter of the Yan family, born with jade, has been smart since childhood, reads through poetry and books, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting;

"Lost eight and a half sons. Zhao Runlin's face was gentle, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

Yan Hanyu raised his eyes to look at him, but it was a look of meeting a confidant. Yan Hanyu has never played chess with many people, but he knows that Zhao Runlin's chess tricks are different from ordinary people, and it is difficult to crack.

Mr. Li's chess skills are definitely the best compared to the literati in Bianjing, and there are not many people who are her opponents. Mr. Li personally taught Hanyu, which can be said to be all the learning he has learned in his life, and Hanyu naturally lived up to Mr. Li's expectations, from books to paintings, everything is blue, and Mr. Li is very pleased.

Now Zhao Runlin's game of chess, the way of siege is very thoughtful, she has to think of the next ten steps, so she falls very slowly.

"How about another game?" Zhao Runlin felt that this girl was smart enough, she was not yet ten years old, and if she practiced more, she would definitely be able to meet her opponent in the future.

For a day, Hanyu spent a day playing against Zhao Runlin.

In the second set, Hanyu lost Jiuzi, and Hanyu bit her fingers and said continue. The third set was not finished, it was dark, and the ship docked.

"Brother Lin, I want to finish this game of chess. โ€

"Okay, I'll have some pastries and eat less. โ€

Hanyu nodded.

The beautiful scenery of the sunset is hidden, the colorful glow on the river gradually sinks, there are inns and restaurants on the wharf, rows of farmhouses and merchants are scattered, every household lights up the candles, a thin moon hangs in the air, and the sky is full of stars, so that a dark scene adds a hazy color.

A large ship with sails leaned against the shore, a willow-shaped copper candlestick was placed in a cabin, a neat row of candles were lit on the candlestick, the candles were swaying, competing and dancing, the cabin was brightly lit, and a man and a girl sat opposite each other on a long couch, and the girl faced a dense chessboard, thoughtful.

The last son fell, and Zhao Runlin raised his hand to count the chess.

"Eight-and-a-half. โ€

Yan Hanyu lost another eight and a half characters, and let out a long sigh.

"Master, this is a meal sent by Mrs. Zhu Wu, saying that she is worried that Miss Yan is hungry. Zhao Feng came in with a food box.

"Where's Mama Zhou?" Yan Hanyu shouted.

"Miss. โ€

"Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet. โ€

"Get off the boat and eat, I'll eat here." โ€

"Yes, the slave went to summon Xiao Ya'er. โ€

"Hmm. โ€

"Zhao Feng, you can also get off the boat together. โ€

Zhao Feng hesitated, "Master, the little one goes, you ...... alone"

"I'm fine, there are people on the Zhu family's merchant ship, and nothing will happen. โ€

Zhao Feng responded, bowed his hand and retreated, that is, just to have a meal, and he would come back soon.

After dinner, Hanyu took a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth, and then went out of the cabin, stood outside, and looked up at the stars in the sky.

The beauty of the night scene is a quiet and serene beauty, the previous life also accompanied her many lonely nights, when the sick and weak can not get up, the night can not sleep, Hanyu will open the window, lying on the couch to look at the stars in the sky. Sometimes the sky is covered with a veil of white clouds with only a faint light, and sometimes the night sky is clear and starry, and the beauty is amazing.

Hanyu suddenly realized, isn't that the game of chess he used to move the stars and move against the water?

As soon as she turned around, she saw him dressed in white, standing not far away, he was like a jade tree, his spirit was clear and his bones were beautiful, and his clothes fluttered in the wind, which was even more elegant. If she had met him in her most beautiful years in her last life, she would have fallen in love with him, right?

"Brother Lin, let's play another game, okay?"

"The last game. โ€

"The last game of the day. Yan Hanyu followed closely.

Zhao Runlin curled his lips and chuckled.

Yan Hanyu thought that he had figured it out, but in the middle of the night, a game of chess was over, and Hanyu finally lost eight pieces. She sighed helplessly, it seemed that it was not so easy to figure it out.

When she stood up, she suddenly exclaimed, "Oops, I didn't do my homework today." This year, she has developed the habit of memorizing medical books every day, but today she has been thinking about playing chess all day and has forgotten to memorize medical books.

In the middle of the night, it was quiet and quiet, and her soft voice was especially clear when it was even quieter.

"It's late tonight, so let's get some rest. Zhao Runlin reminded her gently.

"Okay, Brother Lin, you too. โ€

"Whew!"

As soon as Hanyu's words fell, a dog barked sound, followed by a dog's wail, and the sharp voice pierced the night sky, leaving only a lingering sound in his ears.

She was startled, the voice was terrifying in the middle of the night.

Followed by Hanyu and then looked at Zhao Runlin with a calm look, thinking that he was really not calm. She bowed her head and comforted herself, she was just a girl with drooping hair and changing teeth, even if she lived one more life, it was more often than a dream.

Hanyu followed Zhao Runlin off the boat, and Zhao Runlin began by saying, "Zhao Feng, go see what's going on?"

As soon as Zhao Feng jumped away, several black-clothed people disappeared from the dark night, Hanyu only felt a cold aura rushing in, and when he turned his head, he saw a pair of cold eyes like poisonous snakes staring at them.

Hanyu took a step back.

The guards of the Yan family drew their swords to meet them, but before Hanyu could react, only the sword light and sword shadow remained.

"Wow, bellโ€”" The sound of the sword became even more piercing.

Zhao Feng suddenly turned back, blew a long whistle out of his mouth, followed by a jump, his body rose in the air, and landed around the man in black.

Someone on the boat hurriedly banged the gong and shouted, "Something's wrong, there's an Assassin! There's an Assassin!"

One by one, they ran out of the cabin under the ship and picked up their halberds to help.

Seeing that there were more and more people, the men in black gathered to prepare to retreat.

Xiao Ya'er covered her eyes and didn't dare to look, but Hanyu's eyes widened, her heart was in her throat, and she saw a long sword stabbed at Zhao Runlin in front of her, and then turned to her. (To be continued.) )
