Worried day and night, within a few days, Ah Yao lost weight, her small face, which was not very plump, lost weight again, and a pair of apricot eyes that were vivid in the past are now a little abruptly big.

Mo said that it was a subordinate of the Hu family on the ship, and even Lu Ping, who was sent by the little marquis to secretly protect her, also slowed down the safety of the old master, and felt sorry for Ah Yao.

"Girl, Master Hou is strong in martial arts."

The vast water stretches for hundreds of miles, and finding someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. In the past few days, A-Yao has not only been in a hurry, but has also tried all possible methods, but to no avail. Seeing that the closer she got to Hulao Gorge, the mountains and rocks on both sides became more and more towering, and the reefs gradually increased, making it more difficult to search, and her heart sank little by little.

In her previous life, she had also been to Tiger Prison Gorge in person, knowing that its terrain was steep, and Brother Jing's fleet sank there, could she really be saved?

"Brother Lu Ping, what do you mean?"

"My subordinates have also been to the Tiger Prison Gorge, which is indeed a steep place, and unless there is a veteran steer who has been running ships for many years, it is not easy for the ship to pass Guò. If there is an accident, it is even more difficult to protect itself. ”

Ah Yao's brows furrowed even deeper, it was precisely because she knew this that she was worried.

"I know this, but when Brother Lu Ping mentioned Brother Jing's martial arts, could it be that things are still taking a turn for the better?"

Who said that the girl of the Hu family is not as talented as the girl of the Shen family, and she can still understand the implication of his words in such a panicked situation, and she is clearly an extremely smart person.

This thought flashed through his mind, Lu Ping didn't sell it anymore, kicked the bow of the boat and jumped directly into the water, and then carried the light gong to step into the water, climbed directly to the cliffs on both sides, and then jumped down from the cliffs, Shi Shiran returned to the bow of the boat. The whole process looked very dangerous, but he stood on the bow of the boat, and the hem of his clothes did not even touch the slightest drop of water.

"The subordinates of Tiger Prison Gorge have also been there, and although the terrain is steep, it is not a problem to escape safely. Hou Ye's martial arts are only stronger than his subordinates, and his safety, the girl doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Facts speak louder than words, and the living examples have just been deduced in front of her, and Ah Yao finally put most of her heart back in her stomach.

Calming down a little, she continued to be busy looking for someone. This time, instead of staring at the river like a fly looking for a needle in a haystack, she focused her energy on the other side.

Because of the steepness of the Tiger Prison Gorge, the merchants who pass through this section often change land routes, even if they want to take the waterway in a hurry, they will ask experienced veterans to take the helm, and be careful again and again when passing by. With such attention, although the Tiger Prison Gorge is famous, there have been few major incidents in recent years.

Daddy in the previous life and Brother Jing in this life have taken sufficient precautions, but there are many of them, and they all have accidents.

This is not a natural disaster, it is*.

As early as when she heard that all the ships were burned, A-Yao had already realized this, but at that time, her whole heart was on people, and she always wanted to find Brother Jing first, so she didn't put too much effort into finding the roots.

"Since Brother Jing is still alive, the people behind the scenes must be eager to kill people, and he is very dangerous now. Brother Lu Ping, I would like to ask you to personally go to the state city to explore the movements of the same prefect. ”

"Same as the prefect!" Lu Ping's tone was not questioning, but shocked.

The girl of the Hu family is not only smart, she is simply extremely smart. What the little marquis has been hiding has been secretly guessed by her. Not only did she guess it, but she never showed it in front of Hou Ye. is so smart and calm, how much she was underestimated before.

"Sure enough, it's the same prefect."

In fact, Lu Ping misunderstood, Ah Yao was not as powerful as he thought. It's just that the lessons from the past are there, and she has thought countless times about the reasons for the collapse of the Hu family in her previous life, and finally feels that Shen Moci doesn't have that ability. In this case, she must rely on external forces, and the two strongest forces in this state are Pan Zhizhou and Wu Tongzhi. The former is half of her senior brother, and after many understandings, she also knows how to be a person, and after eliminating it, only the latter remains.

He seemed to have revealed something that should not be revealed, Lu Ping had a bad premonition, but soon he was shocked by Ah Yao's next sentence:

"Brother Lu Ping is right, Brother Jing is so powerful, now he has no news, maybe he is hiding in the dark and preparing to lure the snake out of the hole. You go to the same prefect to find out one or two, if the other party is menacing, then we will deploy to help Brother Jing; If he can handle it, we will continue to search as usual, which can be regarded as helping him paralyze the enemy. ”

This is no longer extremely smart, it's just a female middle school!

After admiring Xiao Hou Ye from the bottom of his heart, Lu Ping admired a person so much for the second time in his life, but this kind of excitement was on his moody public face, and ordinary people couldn't see it.

"Subordinates receive orders."

didn't explain anything more, Lu Ping clenched his fists, and after agreeing to it, he followed the set he had demonstrated when he comforted A-Yao, treading water and climbing rocks, and soon disappeared on the cliff.

Seeing him leave, Ah Yao returned to the room. In the room on the top floor of the building with the scent of new wood, Ah Yao walked to the bed and squatted down to look at the shoe prints on the floor next to the pillow.

The shoe print is twice as long as her embroidered shoes, just the size of Brother Jing's soap boots. Before leaving, she helped him prepare clothes, and in his arrogant and unconcealed joyful eyes, she remembered the size of his clothes, shoes and socks clearly, and then ordered the Hu family silk village to find out the precious clothes left at the bottom of the tribute over the years, and choose a few of the best-looking ones for him to put on. And the shoes and socks she personally tried whether it was comfortable, and as soon as the little foot that was used to wearing soft and comfortable shoes reached in, she felt that the whole heel was dangling in the boat, and she had experienced it herself, and she remembered the size of his shoes very clearly.

I think about it day and night and dream about it, and once I feel that someone next to the bed may be my hallucination, but if it is like this at night?

Ah Yao did some hands and feet on the side of the bed, and sprinkled a thin layer of powder on it, which was not very real in the night, but whenever she stepped on it, she immediately left shoe prints.

Really!

Knowing this, she should have been relieved in the morning. But the person she cares about is still in danger, and it's hard for her not to think about it. What if someone else comes? It wasn't until Lu Ping's demonstration that Brother Jing was safe and sound, and she was completely relieved when the two pieces of evidence were combined.

Great, Ah Yao pursed the corners of her lips.

The little face that had been frowning since knowing about the accident in the fleet stretched out for the first time, and with her increasingly thin face, there was a thrilling beauty. Qingshuang, who came in with food, stood at the door and was stunned for a while.

"The girl smiled, could it be that Dingbeihou has news?"

Ah Yao hurriedly put away her smile and said sternly: "Don't spread this matter." ”

"Is that really news?" Qingshuang hurriedly closed the door and whispered, "Great, this girl can be regarded as eating." You didn't want to eat a few days ago, but you were about to die of green frost. ”

While talking about her, she put the dishes on the table, she hadn't eaten seriously for a few days, A-Yao was also hungry, she devoured a meal, covered her stomach and lay on the bed, and she slept beautifully with confidence.

This sleep lasted until dusk, and when she woke up, Lu Ping also rushed back from the state city.

"Brother Lu Ping, what's going on with your face?" At first glance, she was startled when she looked at Lu Ping, who was looking at pandas, "Is the situation already so tense?" Even you are hurt. ”

The soldiers of the same prefect's mansion didn't see anyone else, how could they hurt him.

When he just followed the clues, he found that the young marquis, who had always been wise and martial, was staring at the soles of his shoes, and since he followed the girl of the Hu family, he became more and more intelligent, and he quickly noticed the reason through the reflection of the soles, and then said it with his mouth. This stabbed the hornet's nest, and the little marquis fed him on the grounds that he leaked secrets, and took the opportunity to give him a pair of black-eyed blue.

The little marquis was already merciful to his subordinates, and his moves were obviously ruthless at the beginning, but after he explained that the Hu family girl was worried, his moves slowed down significantly.

But he still lost, how could he be embarrassed to say such a shameful thing?

In order to prevent her from continuing to ask, Lu Ping hurriedly told the harvest of this trip.

"As the girl expected, the original dense government soldiers in the same prefect's mansion are now much less, and when the subordinates went out of the city, they saw the government soldiers disguised as thieves." Although those people were dressed like the lonely ghosts they had caught earlier, the trained ambush soldiers, walking, sitting and lying, had a special imprint on their every move, and they could see the real thing at a glance.

"Sure enough, it's the same prefect."

Frowning, A-Yao's face was complicated. There was a bit of heaviness in my heart, but it was all transformed into a decision in an instant.

What about Tongzhi? Judging from the ending of the previous life, it is a life-and-death ending between the two. Compared with the previous life, now she still has Brother Jing, and it just happens that the new hatred and old hatred are counted together.

"Brother Jing's side is still fully staffed?"

Lu Pinglu hesitated, and the little marquis repeatedly instructed that the girl of the Hu family should not be put in danger. Staying next to him, he really saw it, and the little marquis really cared for this time. In the past, he had no worries about this, the task was important, and what did it matter to him whether others lived or died, but this time Miss Hu was just a little worried, and she let him feed him.

"Okay."

"Brother Lu Ping didn't tell the truth, although there are not many soldiers, but the soldiers of the state government are not wine bags and rice bags. When the disparity in strength is not so large, the side with the largest number has the advantage. ”

Lu Ping was silent, speechless and crying in his heart. Little Hou Ye, how do you let me face the girl of the Hu family who suddenly became sensitive.

She really guessed it, Brother Jing is like this, he doesn't tell her anything. Full of distress, A-Yao, who had been anxiously worried for a few days, decided that she didn't plan to endure it anymore.

"The Hu family also brought a lot of people this time, I ...... I'm going with you. However, I don't know anything about the arrangement, Brother Lu Ping is Brother Jing's right-hand man, and you are fully responsible for going this time. After speaking, Ah Yao walked indoors, and when she trotted out, she had an extra horn inlaid with gold and jade in her hand.

"This is the horn of the merchant ship when it moves," Ah Yao turned to the front, pointed to him with the gilded "Hu" character in the center, and then held it in both hands and handed it to him.

Rubbing her blue eyes and looking at the prayer in the big eyes of the girl of the Hu family in front of her, Lu Ping finally broke through the psychological shadow brought by the threat of the little marquis, and solemnly took the horn from her hand.

With a loose hand and facing the sunset, A-Yao's face raised a bright smile like a spring flower.

"Thank you, Brother Lu Ping."

The sweet voice came, coupled with the girl's beautiful face, which made Lu Ping dizzy for a while.

This is the future Mrs. Hou, restraining her thoughts that she shouldn't have, clenching the horn with both hands, he quickly turned around and walked back, abandoning distracting thoughts and devoting himself to the formation of troops.

That night, the Hu family's fleet sailed to the outside of the Tiger Prison Gorge and was besieged by water bandits.
