Hearing Ling Yi say this, Xiao Yu looked at Zhao Ruyi quietly again.

I saw that he was born with jade and snow muscles, and his demeanor was pitiful, but in such a situation, his attitude was still neither humble nor arrogant, but it also made people appreciate it a little.

At this time, Ling Yan had already opened her mouth to agree.

Zhao Ruyi Yingying saluted: "Thank you Ling Gongzi and the two girls." ”

Xiao Yu looked away, inadvertently glimpsed the small and smooth nails on his slender white fingertips, and couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart, but his face did not show any different color, took the hand handed over by Ling Yan, and walked forward.

Zhao Ruyi took Gu Yu to follow behind, a few people talked while walking, Ling Yi and a few guards were a few steps behind, and followed each other unhurriedly, and the group arrived at Xiangxue Hall not long after.

Hua Yue and Zhong Lang did not go together.

On this short journey, Ling Yan asked with concern the reason why Zhao Ruyi was chased before, and after hearing what happened to her, she immediately felt extremely sympathetic.

According to Zhao Ruyi, her family was originally in South Vietnam and the family was well-off, but later she was cheated of a large amount of money, not only all the family property was wasted, but also owed a large amount of debt, her father couldn't think about it and looked for a short time, and soon her mother also died of depression. She was only nine years old at the time, and when she was helpless, her aunt took her in, and although her life was not as rich as before, she was still peaceful and stable.

It's just that the disaster is not a single line, but after half a year, one day Zhao Ruyi went to the street to buy things, but he encountered a kidnapper, and was taken to Fuzhou, and then it was a long five years. Recently, the kidnapper was about to sell her, so that she had an opportunity and escaped.

happened to meet Ling Yi and his party.

Although Zhao Ruyi didn't seem to want to say more, she only briefly talked about the general process of the matter, without exaggeration and exaggeration, but the casual emotional outpouring between her words made people accept what she said without guard, not to mention that her life experience is really pitiful.

If Xiao Yu hadn't seen through that he was also good at poison, he might have felt sympathy, but now he was on guard. What this girl said must not be fully believed, since she has something to hide, and she will use poison, it really makes people suspect that she has bad intentions.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu quietly stood next to Ling Yan. After all, she had taken some secret medicine, and in comparison, ordinary poison was far less dangerous to her than a sword.

However, until he came out of Xiangxue Hall, Zhao Ruyi didn't have any abnormal behavior, but Xiao Yu found that his clothes were stained with a faint aroma of fat powder.

Zhao Ruyi's clothes were even stained with a little rouge, and she took out a handkerchief and wiped it.

Ling Yan bought a lot of rouge gouache, and couldn't help but say that she picked a small half out for Xiao Yu, and picked a few more for Zhao Ruyi.

Xiao Yu saw that it was difficult to resist, so he asked Xia Zhi to take it.

After Zhao Ruyi politely refused, he also thanked him and accepted it, let Gu Yu take it well, and his words and demeanor were not rude, which made Ling Yan have a good impression of him.

A few people came out of Xiangxue Hall, and saw that there were many people selling clay instruments and various gadgets on this long street, so they continued to walk forward.

Xiao Yu asked with a smile: "What are Miss Zhao's plans next?" ”

Zhao Ruyi lowered his head slightly, and said gently: "I want to go back to South Vietnam, but the road is far away, and I have to plan it all by myself." ”

Ling Yan said on the side: "You are alone as a weak woman, it is really dangerous to travel far away, but it is a pity that we still have to go to Changzhou." Why don't you rent a small courtyard here for a while longer, and we'll go back to Yuedi in a few months at most, and then come back and take you with us, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds? ”

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and turned his head to look at Zhao Ruyi.

Zhao Ruyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you Miss Ling for your kindness." I'd better go back alone later. ”

Ling Yan was surprised: "Why? You go back alone without any care, not to mention the hard journey, it is really very dangerous, if you encounter an accident such as a robber, it is good. ”

I saw Zhao Ruyi look around, bit his petal-like lower lip, lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid that those crutches won't give up if I stay here, and I'll find ...... again."

"They dare!" Ling Yanxing's eyes widened.

"It's not impossible for Miss Zhao to worry." Ling Yi, who was beside him, muttered, "Besides, there are still poisonous gates in Fuzhou City that are doing evil, and now that we are in a hurry, we don't have much time to make proper arrangements, if there is anything, it will not be beautiful." It's better to take the blue girl to Changzhou and appreciate the customs of the south of the Yangtze River, okay? ”

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and Zhao Ruyi showed a look of anticipation.

Ling Yan was already sincere and unwary, and she pitied Zhao Ruyi because of her miserable life experience, so she nodded and smiled at the moment: "This is really good, and there are many companions, but I don't know if Miss Zhao is willing to go with her?" ”

Zhao Ruyi was overjoyed, and immediately stopped walking and saluted: "I don't dare to ask for it." Thank you Ling Gongzi and Ling Girl. ”

Ling Yan Yingying smiled: "There is no need to be so polite. ”

Xiao Yu was a little worried in his heart, but when he saw Ling Yan looking over, he smiled slightly, and said, "I wonder if Miss Zhao knows how to play chess?" ”

Zhao Ruyi was slightly stunned and said, "I know a little bit about it, but I'm not good at it." ”

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "That's right, Sister Yan likes to talk about it, so you don't have to complain about no one to play against her in the future." ”

Ling Yan immediately sneered, "When have I complained? Miss Zhao doesn't listen to her nonsense, she is jealous that other people's chess skills are better than her. ”

Xiao Yu sighed and said, "Life is already so difficult, Sister Yan, you still debunk me." ”

Ling Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Ruyi flashed a trace of envy, and then said with a smile: "The slave family's chess skills may not be as good as the cousin girl, I am afraid that she will laugh and be generous." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Miss Zhao won't say this after she sees me playing chess." Sister Yan, there are paper umbrellas and shell carvings in front of you, do you want to go over and have a look? ”

Ling Yan nodded and said, "Okay." ”

A few people walked around a little, bought paper umbrellas, fine jasmine tea and a few small things, and saw that the time was almost up, and still took the mule cart back to the beach.

When Hua Yue heard Zhao Ruyi's name, she felt a little familiar, and wondered when and where she had heard it.

When he arrived at the port and got off the ship, Zhao Ruyi suddenly snorted, his face turned white in an instant, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant. She bent down and clutched her stomach as if she were in extreme pain.

Gu Yu was shocked when he saw this, hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, and asked urgently: "Miss Zhao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Yu was stunned, seeing that Zhao Ruyi's expression did not seem to be fake, but seemed to be poisonous, and he wanted to diagnose her pulse after a few steps.

After the intense throbbing pain passed, Zhao Ruyi immediately stood up straight, only to feel that his palms were cold, but he shook his head and didn't let Xiao Yu see him, and said with a reluctant smile: "I'm fine, maybe I ate something bad this morning, so I'm a little unwell." ”

At this time, Ling Yi had already approached and frowned, "Then I have to let the doctor take a look." ”

Xiao Yu and Ling Yan both nodded in agreement, and Zhao Ruyi said again: "I'm causing trouble to Ling Gongzi." It's not easy to diagnose the pulse here, so it's better to board the ship first. ”

Ling Yi bowed his head and said, "This is natural, the accompanying doctor is on the boat. ”

Zhao Ruyi boarded the boat with Gu Yu's support, and after several people came up, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

Xiao Yu was thinking about what had just happened, and he had doubts in his heart, but he vaguely smelled a strange aroma, and his face immediately changed.

Before the few people present could come back to their senses, Xiao Yu had already ripped off the handkerchief in Zhao Ruyi's hand, pinched his chin and threw a pitch-black pill into her mouth.

Zhao Ruyi immediately covered his chest and coughed violently. (To be continued.) )
