There was no one guarding outside the house, so they easily came outside, but the boat guys outside were everywhere, and Ping Yuyao took Zhong Liyue to dodge left and right, and finally came to the upper deck. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, it was already dark, and the wind was blowing hula, Zhong Liyue asked worriedly, "How long has the boat been running?" ”

"About half an hour!"

Zhong Liyue's mind was in chaos, and she was a little afraid: "Now that it's so dark and the boat has been driving for so long, can we still survive if we jump?" ”

"Who said you were going to jump?" Ping Yuyao was stunned for a moment and asked.

"If you don't jump, is there a boat to sit on?" The hope in Zhong Liyue's heart was instantly ignited.

Ping Yuyao shook his head innocently, "No." ”

Zhong Liyue almost fainted. When you get off the boat, I promise I won't kill you!

Ping Yuyao asked again: "Then will you be able to use water?" ”

Owl water? What the hell is Shaw Water? Zhong Liyue was stunned, and after thinking for a while, she understood what it meant, "Yes, yes, but with my current physical strength, I'm afraid I can't swim." ”

"So what to do?" A trace of worry appeared on Ping Yuyao's gentle and jade-like face.

Zhong Liyue felt weakness in her limbs, looked left and right, there were people everywhere, and they could only hide here for a while, so she sat down first to save her strength. She leaned against the cabin board, looked at Ping Yuyao and asked, "How did you get stuck on the ship?" Didn't everyone from the Heike get off the ship? ”

"Oh," Ping Yuyao turned around when he heard the voice, and saw Zhong Liyue sitting down, and he also sat next to her, "I accidentally saw someone drugged the meal, and when I went over to see it, the meal was for you, so I kept an eye on you." ”

Zhong Liyue recalled that when she and Fan Qianjin's two maids went to get the food, the meals were all served one by one, and she thought that she had received a portion of it very casually, but she didn't expect it......

Who deliberately wanted to harm her?

If you want her life, you can poison it directly. But that person made her feel refreshed, was there no poison on board, or did he not want her life?

Thinking about it, Zhong Liyue's gaze inadvertently swept over Ping Yuyao's body, her gaze froze, and she suddenly remembered something. She looked at Ping Yuyao suspiciously, and became defensive in her heart: "You don't seem surprised at all when you hear me speak?" ”

On the ship, she was a 'dumb girl'.

Ping Yuyao's eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at Zhong Liyue.

"It's your eldest brother who drugged him, right?" Zhong Liyue's eyes were sharp and authentic. Hei Zhiyi is the only one on the ship who knows that she is not mute. He must have recognized himself, but at the moment of meeting, he had other ideas, so he deliberately pretended not to recognize him.

Zhong Liyue said tentatively: "You guys are in a gang? ”

Ping Yuyao hurriedly shook his head in denial, and said angrily: "If I am in a group with you, why should I save you?" ”

Zhong Liyue smiled and said bluntly: "Is it really his medicine?!" He wanted to hurt me, but you came to save me, why? You don't look like someone who would go against him. ”

Ping Yuyao thought, this girl is too clever, he can't hide it from her at all, after hesitating for a while, he simply said: "I always thought that my eldest brother hated me and bullied me because of my background, but I never thought that he would even have to calculate an ordinary maid, it was too much!" ”

"You've known him for more than twenty years, and now you're just finding out?" Zhong Liyue raised two fingers and shook her head, this eyesight, there is no one!

"I used to stay in the house to study," Ping Yuyao lowered his head and said ashamedly: "I haven't seen anything in the world, so my father asked my eldest brother to take me out to sharpen it." ”

Zhong Liyue couldn't help but think of the gossip she heard about him the night she first got on the boat, and felt a trace of sympathy for him in her heart.

"Thank you!" Zhong Liyue said softly. He knew that his status in the Hei family was low, and his words had no weight, but he completely ignored what his eldest brother would bring him when he found out, even if he only had the courage to rescue, but not the plan to rescue, it was enough to make people feel a burst of warmth.

Ping Yuyao raised his head, looked at Zhong Liyue puzzled, and said with a blank expression: "Thank me for what?" ”

Zhong Liyue smiled lightly, did not explain, but said: "You are kind-hearted and courageous, and your future deeds will definitely surpass your eldest brother." ”

Ping Yuyao's eyes dimmed, as if he remembered something sad.

After a moment of silence, Zhong Liyue pondered for a long time with the only trace of sobriety left in her consciousness, and then said: "There is water on all sides, and we only have two ways to go, either jump down, or, just pretend not to know, and wait for the boat to dock." In my current state, it's better to choose the latter. ”

"Then let's go back first before they find out, so as not to startle the snake." Ping Yuyao decisively agreed.

"Okay." Zhong Liyue took advantage of Ping Yuyao's support, slowly stood up, and returned to the house.

Although it was dark, no one dared to stop moving forward, and everyone was busy for different purposes.

Shen Zhaoyan didn't even return home, so he went directly to the horse market to pick a fast horse and rushed to Xunzhou overnight. By the afternoon of the third day, he finally arrived in Xunzhou.

Xunzhou is the largest city on the border of Huanguo's Beiguan, and although its prosperity is far less than that of the imperial capital, it is relatively good because several of its neighbors are relatively poor.

Arriving all the way quickly, Shen Zhaoyan hardly had a good rest, but he still insisted on going to the inn mentioned in the letter first.

As soon as one foot stepped into the inn, the enthusiastic shopkeeper greeted him.

"May I ask the shopkeeper have you ever seen a woman about sixteen years old, fair-skinned, so tall?" Shen Zhaoyan raised his hand to compare his height and swept the people in the inn.

"There are many women's shops like the guest officer said, and I don't know which one is the person the guest officer is looking for, so you might as well invite it inside, and find it while eating." The shopkeeper said smilingly.

Shen Zhaoyan went in and took a closer look, and found that there were indeed several women in the lobby as he described, but none of them were the people he was looking for!

He moved his eyes to the private room on the second floor, and was about to go up, but was stopped by Xiao Er, who ran the hall, and said to him with a smile: "Is the guest officer alone?" You don't have to go up to the second floor to eat alone. The second floor is far from the kitchen, and the food is served very slowly. ”

"I'm going up to find someone!" Shen Zhaoyan said bluntly.

"That's not going to work! If you do this, you will disturb other diners. Xiao Er said to Shen Zhaoyan with a look of embarrassment: "It's better to be like this, the guest room of this hotel is in the backyard, and the guest officer sits downstairs first, and when the people finish eating, whether they live in the hotel or don't live in the hotel, they have to go downstairs first, so that the guest officer can see if there is anyone he is looking for?" ”

"No! I must find her as soon as possible. Shen Zhaoyan looked upstairs with deep eyes, took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to Xiao Er, and then went straight up the stairs.

Xiao Er took the silver ingot and looked at it, his eyes widened. In the face of such a generous customer, he has little resistance.

Shen Zhaoyan went upstairs and pushed open the door one by one to check.

When he arrived at the door of the third room, Shen Zhaoyan was about to stretch out his hand to push the door, when a woman who looked like a maid came over and said to Shen Zhaoyan, "Young Master Shen, please come here!" ”
