Chapter 213: Self-help
Gu Zhirong turned around and was about to walk towards the kitchen not far away. Suddenly, the old man standing next to her blinked quickly at her, and she immediately understood.
So, she turned her body to the three people again, and asked uncertainly, "Masters, am I doing the face of a few of you, or is it all the people in this room?"
The bearded man said impatiently: "What are you talking about, of course it's a few of us, it's hard to ......"
The young man hurriedly interrupted him: "Brother Yong, this can't be done, since everyone is hungry, let's do it together." ”
Hearing that there was something to eat, the crowd that had been hungry for most of the day suddenly became noisy, shouting that they were hungry. The bearded man saw that the scene was a little chaotic, and he wanted to pick up the knife again.
The young man hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Yong, have you forgotten General Huang's words? Also, we want to kill only those who resist, these people have no resistance at all, what are you going to do by killing them!"
The bearded man stared, after all, he still had the knife in his hand, and waved his hand at Gu Zhirong: "Then hurry up with your hands and feet, everyone has a share." Go, I'm starving. ”
When the people heard that there was something to eat, they fell silent.
Then Gu Zhirong looked at the bearded man with an embarrassed face and said, "This master, there are so many people, I can't do it alone, can you let me find someone to help?"
Then, she ran quickly, pulled the old man out, and asked, "I want a helper, can you?"
The bearded man was about to have another seizure, and the young man looked like an old man. Estimating that there was no threat, he nodded and said, "Go quickly, if it's too late." Hungry Brother Yong, Brother Yong is going to be angry again. ”
With permission, Gu Zhirong quickly answered, and then pulled the old man to walk quickly towards the kitchen at the corner of the stairs.
Taking advantage of the effort of scooping water towards the big iron pot, Gu Zhirong lowered his voice and asked the old man: "Uncle, what should we do now?"
The old man muttered, "They can't just have these three people, there must be people in the boat. If they come together. It's trouble......" At this, the old man's brows furrowed even tighter, "Are these people really General Huang Gang's subordinates? Why are they so cruel? They said they were here to find someone." When you're done, go. However, according to the old man, these people are ruthless, and even if they really find them, they may not let us go..."
Gu Zhirong's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Uncle." You mean. They're going to kill people?"
The old man nodded heavily: "You have also seen the scene just now, presumably what they said in their mouths that the person they are looking for is very important to them, so they do not hesitate to go on a rampage and intercept our ship." If we really find people, not only will we not be able to live, but even these sergeants who have boarded the ship will not be able to get out alive!"
Gu Zhirong was taken aback, she didn't expect that things would be so serious!
The old man shook his head puzzledly: "I don't understand how this kind of thing can happen in General Huang's territory. It's been almost an hour. General Huang hasn't sent a navy yet, I can be sure. General Huang must be in league with them, and even if he does not come forward, he must have acquiesced in what they did in his own jurisdiction. So—" his voice fell, "there will be no one to save us, we must save ourselves." ”
"How can I save myself?" Gu Zhirong's mind spun rapidly, "Do you want someone to send a letter out?" I grew up by the river for many years, I know the nature of water, I can hold my breath in the water for more than ten minutes, and when they release the arrows, I have already swam away. So, I can jump into the water, get out of here, and then send a message to General Kiritoro!"
The old man shook his head: "It's too late." Not to mention that Ji Cheng is far away from here, it takes at least a day to come and go. Even if it is to copy the waterway, among the Tongjia army, General Huang Gang's water army is the most brave, and now those water troops have accepted General Huang Gang's orders and will not move. When General Tong received the letter, he could only come to the rescue by land, which took longer and was even more late. ”
Speaking of this, the old man's face became more solemn: "According to the style of these people, it is impossible to find people, just consume them endlessly with us, they have done such a thing, they will definitely erase all traces, and finally put all the blame on the water bandits in Jiangzhou, saying that all things are done by them." Therefore, they must not stay here for too long, whether they can find anyone or not, and when the time comes, they will have to retreat......"
Gu Zhirong's heart suddenly tightened, and she also realized something: "Uncle, if they have to retreat, what will they do next?"
The old man closed his eyes slightly: "They ...... They're going to blow up the whole ship, and they're going to leave no clues for the government to search. ”
Gu Zhirong's hand rubbing the flour paused suddenly, although she had thought of the worst consequences, after the old man said it, she still felt unbearable: "That means that the entire boat has to die?"
The old man nodded: "Not only us, but also those who come on the ship to search for people, we all have to die, after all, the dead will not leak the secret." So, I guess that it was one group of people who went on board to search for people, and it was another group of people who planted explosives. ”
"Could it be that the three people outside, as well as his companions, are also going to be funeral companions?" Gu Zhirong said in a lost voice, but fortunately, at this time, the fire "snapped", covering her trembling voice in shock.
The old man quickly poured all the cut noodles in his hand into the pot, the water in the pot was already boiling, and the noodles fell down, making a "snort" sound, and then a white water vapor rose.
At this moment, there was a soft sound, and then in the dense white mist, a long and handsome figure appeared.
At the same time, a voice sounded in the mist: "This old man is right, as long as the people on this boat will not escape a dead word sooner or later." "The voice is calm and capable, full of energy.
Gu Zhirong was so surprised that she almost jumped up, suppressed and suppressed again, she suppressed her urge to jump up, and said excitedly: "Brother!"
A face appeared in the white mist, half of the face was covered by a silver mask, and the other half was still extremely handsome, who else could there be if it wasn't the young master of the Treasure Hall?!
A flash of surprise and inquiry flashed in the old man's eyes.
Gu Zhirong hurriedly took two steps and walked in front of him, and couldn't help but look him up and down: "Are you okay?"
The young master tilted his head slightly: "What can I do?"
Gu Zhirong realized that he had lost his words, and he had drunk the "fairy drunk" in the wine, of course this young master didn't know, he would definitely think that it was his daughter Hong Tailie, who had been hidden in the kiln for sixty years, and it was impossible to think that it was his own hands and feet.
She hurriedly said, "You, are you drunk?"
She was thinking strangely, what a powerful thing "fairy drunk" was, even if a person with a good amount of alcohol drank such a large amount, he would have to be drunk for at least a day. In less than half a day, this young master actually woke up, which made her feel very surprised.
Anyway, this young master's physique is too good, right?
Suddenly, she thought of what Mingkong and Xuanhe had overheard in the miasma forest, when they saw the white jade pendant in their hands, they recognized it at a glance as the thing of the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Valley. If they didn't admit their mistake, then this young master must have a deep relationship with the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Valley.
It is rumored in the world that the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Valley is invincible, if this young master and the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Valley really have any special relationship, then his physique is different from ordinary people, it is not a strange thing. (To be continued......)
