Chapter 61: Benevolence and Righteousness

Yan Lie stared at the broken side of the ship, then turned around and followed Feng Ping and them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Xuan, Meng Liang and Meng Xiu were afraid that Yan Lie would have another bad guy, who knew that the murderer was still on the side and wanted to murder the son? The three of them took the guards of the Yan Mansion and escorted them to Yan Lie's side.

The captain of the ship counted the number of people on the shore and found that there were four boatmen missing, and his face was already frightened.

As soon as he saw Zhao Dahai and his party coming, he preemptively said, "General, the little one doesn't know anything!" After asking around, he said that he had seen the four of them when he had just come down to the shore, and the four of them had not gone down to the river to look for anyone, so they disappeared in a blink of an eye......

"Don't worry," Feng Ping said softly, "Tell me where these four people are first?" Are you familiar with it? ”

"When we set off from Jinghe Wharf, a few brothers had diarrhea, so we recruited a few to fill the gaps. Those four people were recruited at that time. In the past few days, they are indeed good at boating, like Zhu Laosan, an old helmsman, and they work hard. "In addition to doing the work on the boat, they would also help with cleaning and so on." ”

"By the way, a few days ago, he said that he was going to be worried, and Zhu Laosan also checked the sides of several decks." A boatman added.

When Feng Ping heard this, he knew that this Zhu Laosan was the biggest suspect.

"Are all these people you recruited familiar with in the past?"

"Everything else is familiar, you see this, this, it's all done before." The boat boss pointed to the two beside him and said, "Zhu Laosan, the four people, have not been recruited to do it before, but they have seen it." ”

"Where is their home? Do you know? Feng Ping hurriedly asked.

"Home...... It seems that they didn't see their mother-in-law, and the four of them came to Jinghe Wharf every day, sometimes to ask for work from passing merchant ships, and sometimes to inquire about the market. A familiar boatman added, "I don't think I've heard them mention where home is." ”

Feng Ping turned his head and glanced at Zhao Dahai, he was basically sure that it was these four people, but how to arrest people was not something he could say.

And...... Thinking that Chu Mo was also standing on the deck at that time, he looked at the entourage brought by Chu Mo suspiciously, "Chu Shizi was also standing on the deck at that time, how many people, can you think of anything suspicious?" ”

The matter involved the prince, and the other masters of the palace were not there, Chu Mo's entourage glanced at each other, and the leader arched his hand, "We will immediately send someone to the Nanzhou palace to report the news, this fact is not daring to be arbitrary." ”

"Do you know who did it? Why not speak up? It's all your son's fault, my sister fell into the water! Yan Lie pulled the guard's placket regardless of it, asking him to tell who was the black hand.

He didn't believe that someone specifically wanted to kill Yan Ning, it must have been Chu Mo's involvement, it was this Chu Mo who harmed his sister!

"My son-in-law is too sad, please forgive me." Feng Ping hurriedly apologized, and motioned for Yan Liang and Yan Xiu to step forward and pull people away.

The guard didn't dare to be surprised, he didn't even dare to say it, he took a few steps back, and discussed with the others who to send back to report the news.

Yan Ning is just a boudoir woman, and she is only twelve years old, and Chu Mo's guards and servants actually suspect that someone is targeting their own prince, and as a result, they have affected other girls.

When Chu Mo fell into the water, he also felt that he might have tired Yan Ning.

Before Yan Ning fainted, he only saw a black shadow, Chu Mo was conscious, he saw two black-clothed people wearing black water supports, swimming towards them with a dagger in one hand, these two black-clothed people looked at their outfits, they were in the same group as the assassins who had come to assassinate him before.

What a reluctance to give up! This time, I was careless, thinking that there were so many people that there should be no chance to assassinate.

He smiled bitterly and kicked away the dagger stabbed by the nearest man in black, and took advantage of the force of the kick to retreat some distance.

But he can't deal with two people with one hand, and there is Yan Ning who can't water. Seeing that her eyes were already closed and she didn't move, she was obviously out of breath in the water.

After kicking away the assassin, he hurriedly floated to the water, wanting Yan Ning to float to the surface of the water to take a breath, if someone on the boat could pull her onto the boat, then he could let go of his hands and feet and deal with the two assassins.

The Assassin was clearly water-based. When he swam towards the water, he snatched two pieces of bread. If Chu Mo surfaced and couldn't see the movements of the two, it would be tantamount to being slaughtered.

Chu Mo saw a group of reefs behind him, and hurriedly swam into the reef, intending to go around the reef and throw the two people away.

He swam backwards, but he didn't expect that just after dodging the reef twice, a suction force came, and it actually sucked him and Yan Ning down together.

Rao is very watery, and he can't avoid such a big suction.

When the two black-clothed men were still more than thirty steps away from them, they saw Chu Mo and Yan Ning uncontrollable, spinning and sinking to the bottom of the water.

At this time, the river was getting more and more muddy, and they were afraid that something bad would happen to the past, so they gestured to each other, turned their heads and swam in the opposite direction, leaving first and then making plans.

The suction force was so strong that Chu Mo watched the assassin leave, but he couldn't move. It is inconvenient to move in the water, and with a Yan Ning who doesn't know water, he can't perform it even more.

Do you want to let go of Yan Ning and try to see if you can escape from the undercurrent? This thought flashed through his mind, and he looked down to see Yan Ning's eyes closed, pale, fragile and helpless. However, I could still feel the force of her gripping her hand.

That's it, Yan family Yan Ning, if you can survive this time, you owe me a big favor.

He dragged Yan Ning closer with one hand, protected his head with the other, and sank down. At this time, the river water is even more turbid, and it is impossible to see.

He felt a heavy blow on his back, and there was no light in front of him, and his hand groped around, apparently a stone cave. Holding his breath, he simply swam forward with the undercurrent suction. The cave was not big, and his hand touched the cliff again and again as he paddled the water.

But now I can't care about the pain, Yan Ning has been in the water for too long, and he may drown. He had seen it in the rivers of the south, and such caves generally had exits.

Finally, the suction was gone, and with the light, his judgment was correct, and he hurriedly swam in the direction where the light came from.

With a "bang", he probed out of the water, and found that the two of them were in a lake, and turned his head to see the mountain cliff behind him, obviously, they had just been dragged into this underwater cave by the undercurrent, and penetrated from the Jing River to the end of the mountain.

It's lucky, there will be an undercurrent in the middle, or I will faint and get stuck in the hole, but I will drown in the hole.

The lake is supposed to be connected to the Jing River, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the east side has a shoal. There was silence and no popularity, and the two assassins were not so quick to find them.

The lake was stable, Chu Mo hurriedly swam ashore, dragged Yan Ning to the shore, and stretched out his hand to probe his snort. It took some effort to pull out his hand, and Yan Ning pinched out the black green handprint.

This girl's desire to survive is very strong, and it's a good thing.

He had exhausted his strength, and after breaking Yan Ning's hand, he lay beside Yan Ning with a grunt, not to mention helping Yan Ning squeeze water, and he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.

As soon as the person relaxed, he felt a burning pain in his back, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced, and when he just hit the cliff, he must have suffered internal injuries, and when he looked up at his hand, he also made a lot of cuts.

Thankfully, none of these were fatal injuries.

At this time, the sky was even more gloomy, and a few gusts of mountain wind blew, and raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky.

"The house leak happened to rain overnight, and now there is no place to hide from the rain." Chu Mo muttered to himself, and pushed Yan Ning under the reeds next to him with all his might, "Anyway, I can block some rain for you, but I am benevolent and righteous." ”

After saying that, he wanted to pull some more branches and leaves to help her cover it, but he couldn't support it anymore, his eyes were dark, and he closed his eyes and fainted.
