Chapter 218: The Dead
The sky was getting dark, and the wind blew on the river, blowing away the heavy smell of blood. The night is dark and the wind is high, and this time is the best time to escape.
"Uncle, it's completely dark now, don't wait any longer, you can take them away quickly. Gu Zhirong urged. She hadn't forgotten what would happen to the boat after dark.
The old man glanced at her worriedly: "You and ......"
Gu Zhirong said: "You go first, and the young master and I will arrive later." She glanced at the two sisters and brothers again, and told again, "Uncle, I will entrust those two girls to you, and you must send them to the capital safely." ”
The old man was such a sharp-eyed person, he had long seen the difference between these two girls and them, and nodded solemnly: "Miss Gu, please rest assured, the old man will definitely send them to the capital safely." It's just girl, you ......."
He looked at Gu Zhirong and asked uncertainly, "You really don't want to go with us?"
Gu Zhirong looked at the three small boats, they were crowded, and there was no extra space at all. Moreover, she grew up at the mouth of the Yangtze River since she was a child, and she knows water, even if she doesn't have a boat, she is not afraid. In the final analysis, this Fanjiang River is not as big as the Yangtze River, and she can still support it in terms of physical strength after swimming back and forth.
So she shook her head and said, "Uncle, you don't have to wait, let's go." ”
When the old man saw her gaze sweeping over the three boats, he knew that she did not want to embarrass herself, so he sighed, "All right, girl, be careful. ”
After saying that, the three small boats gradually sailed away from the big ship.
Gu Zhirong watched the three boats leave, and was about to pack himself. Then jump into the water and dive across the river. Suddenly, she noticed that the white jade pendant on her body was missing.
She thought for a moment. I confirmed the location of the jade pendant: it must have leaked in the room on the top floor.
She didn't know if the jade pendant was priceless, but after all, it was a gift from the young master, and it had the special effect of relieving miasma. Moreover, this jade pendant also involves the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Valley, which must be very important to the young master. I took someone else's jade pendant, of course, I have to keep it properly, and then return it to the original owner.
She immediately turned around and went back to look for it.
Suddenly. She heard a noise from the bow of the ship ahead, and the heightened vigilance ordered her to quickly hide in a dark corner and sneak out. Look ahead.
In front of the bow of the ship, as if a gangplank had been erected, she saw a group of people disembarking from the towering warship next to her, with torches. Illuminate the surroundings brightly. The first one. The high-ranking staff was dressed in their forties, holding a white fan in their hands, and was slowly pacing onto the boat. This person is dressed in brocade clothes, looks quite handsome, has a square face, sharp edges and corners, and a high nose bridge. Thin lips, especially those long, narrow eyes. It always gives people a gloomy feeling.
She also heard the person next to her shouting to him: "Master Zhang." It's very respectful, and it seems that the status is very high.
However, this group of people was different from the sergeants who had searched on the passenger ship before, these people did not look like sergeants, they did not wear calcium armor, but they were dressed in black, all of them were extremely strong, and they were not holding knives, but swords, and they looked like Jiang Mu.
Master Zhang got on the passenger boat, paused, and instructed the group of black-clothed people: "Hurry up and find those two people for me at all costs." I will light a red lantern at the bow of the ship, and after an hour, whether you find those two men or not, you will give me an exit, and I will order the ship to be blown up after an hour, when the red lantern is extinguished. Those two people, even if we can't catch them, we must not let them go back alive. Even if it is dead, it is useful for us. ”
All the men in black responded in unison, and soon dispersed and went separately.
Gu Zhirong didn't move, but waited quietly. Sure enough, she saw a red lantern slowly rising from the bow of the ship.
She suddenly remembered that the young master was still on the boat, and now these people are not good, all of them are people from the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't know if the young master can handle it, she decided to go back quickly, find the jade pendant, and then find an opportunity to inform the young master to leave the ship quickly.
She looked at the shipyard and found a spot to climb up. In her previous life, she often climbed trees to pick fruits to eat, which did not bother her. But while climbing, you have to observe the movement around you, which is much slower.
When she climbed onto the second-story boat, she suddenly heard the sound of fierce fighting. Looking in from the hidden place, I saw a burst of sword light and sword shadows in the hall, and the figure was flying. After a closer look, I saw clearly that the two people who were fighting fiercely, one was the young master, and the other was a strong man dressed in black.
Gu Zhirong suddenly found that on the side of the hall, there were two people sitting down, both covered in blood, and they didn't know where the injuries were, anyway, they didn't even seem to have the strength to stand up, and they must have been deeply injured.
Gu Zhirong looked at the black-clothed man's knife technique again, and his heart couldn't help but rise. This black-clothed man has an extremely strange shape, holding a scimitar like a half-moon, no one will use a scimitar in the Jokhang Kingdom, presumably not a native. The method is strange and ferocious, presumably he is the one who slashed Qin Lu and Lu Xing. Rao is young master's martial arts are profound, and he is also on par with him.
She didn't know how long they had been fighting, but it seemed that the man in black didn't seem to want to fight, so he kept retreating, and after a while, he retreated to the entrance of the building, presumably to take the opportunity to get out.
At this moment, Gu Zhirong saw it clearly, the man in black suddenly felt a flying knife on himself, and when he saw the young master chasing after him, he was about to raise his hand and throw the flying knife.
Qin Lu and Lu Xing exclaimed in unison: "Young Master, be careful!" struggled to get up and rushed over to save him. Helplessly, the injury was too serious, and as soon as he stood up, he fell down again.
Strangely, the man in black's throwing knife was not thrown, but fell to the floor with a "clang". He looked at his whole body in disbelief, turned his head sideways to look at the little girl next to him at some point, and glared in disbelief: "It's you!"
He glared at Gu Zhirong hatefully, and suddenly raised the scimitar with all his strength, and slashed towards the top of Gu Zhirong's head in the wind.
Gu Zhirong was standing beside the man in black, and there was no chance to dodge at all.
The young master was shocked and rushed over to save her. saw that the man in black slowly fell down in front of Gu Zhirong, and at the moment before he fell unconscious, his eyes were still wide open, and he didn't understand why he was in the way.
Gu Zhirong patted his chest and exhaled heavily. Fang Cai is really too thrilling, if the immortal drunk is a little later to play an effect, she is afraid that her body is in a different place. It seems that when the immortal drunk is cast in the future, the onset time of the effect of the drug must be calculated, so as not to be as thrilling as today.
The young master hurriedly pulled her over, looked her up and down in the moonlight, and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"
The tone was full of worry.
Gu Zhirong suddenly felt moved for no reason.
She shook her head and pretended to be relaxed, "It's okay, nothing at all." ”
She kicked the man in black who fell to the ground: "This guy, so useless, fell down all at once." ”
Of course, the young master knew that she had resorted, and couldn't help but smile. Qin Lu and Lu Xingxiang walked over with each other, and stabbed the man in black several times with his sword, making sure that he was dead before stopping.
Gu Zhirong was surprised: "You ...... Don't you have a mouth to spare?"
The young master said lightly: "No, these people are all dead soldiers, and they can't judge anything." ”
Gu Zhirong took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that this person was in the cold moonlight, his lips were blue and black, and he must have committed suicide by taking poison with his last strength when he fell. (To be continued......)
