Chapter 173: Killing on the Lake
"I just want to say thank you to Miss. Xie Lu, thank you for saving them regardless of your previous suspicions. Cai Jinyu was a little embarrassed by Hua Shangxue's attitude, but he still opened his mouth to thank him.
"You don't need to thank me. Besides, everyone has come to my ship, how can I see death and not save it? However, now that the weather is cold, you still need to take a good look at the doctor and change into dry clothes after falling into the water. Otherwise, you will be like me and be in the company of medicine for several days on end, and that is the sin. Hua Shangxue said coldly, but Cai Jinyu showed a touch of embarrassment.
It was also time for him to understand the affairs of Caifu that day, and he knew that he had mishandled it at that time, and he had already offended Hua Shangxue.
Now such a faceless response shows the mustard in Hua Shangxue's heart.
"Thank you Miss Xue'er for the reminder, I will explain it and find a doctor to diagnose them as soon as possible."
"If there's nothing to do, I'll go first."
"Please."
Seeing Hua Shangxue return to the painting boat, and then watching the small painting boat drive away, Cai Jinyu couldn't help but sigh softly, listening to the approaching footsteps, and suddenly said: "Guangtang, for your fiancée, I have completely offended people." Listen to what I just said, every word poked at my mistakes and made me helpless. ”
"I have not begged you to do this, but you are wise." Zheng Guangtang responded coolly.
"Guangtang, I only opened my eyes and said nonsense because I cared about your face, how can you be so ruthless. If it weren't for the sake of saving your fiancée's reputation, could I have misinterpreted the matter to mediate? That's also your wife, if you have a bad reputation. It's not good for you. ”
"Although you are troubled. Whether people are good or bad, it will not change anything if they are covered up. What's more, this marriage was decided by my father on his own initiative, if I am not satisfied, what if I quit? ”
Cai Jinyu's eyes widened, and he looked at Zheng Guangtang beside him, "Guangtang, what you said is really ruthless." If you have no intention of marrying someone else, why didn't you say it when you made it, and said that you wanted to quit so casually, didn't you force the girl's family to a dead end? Although Hua Xiaolan's temper is a little hot. But in the end, it looks pretty good. Family background is not okay either. There is also a capable big brother, why are you dissatisfied? ”
"I didn't say to quit now, I just said that I could. Besides, even if you don't return. I may not be sure to marry her. Anyway, her eldest brother just wanted her to marry into the Zheng family. Marry me or marry my brothers. There isn't much difference either. Zheng Guangtang replied lightly, but his eyes were looking far away in the direction of the snow painting boat.
"You...... Well, I'm asking for my own guilt when I tell you this. It's up to you to take control of yourself. I'm not in the mood to get involved in your affairs, so I'll do it myself. ”
"I didn't let you get involved."
Zheng Guangtang's faint words floated into Cai Jinyu's ears, making the corners of his lips twitch unconsciously.
He's a dog meddling with a mouse, retribution!
Leaving Cai Jinyu's chaotic place, the painting boat where Hua Shangxue and the others were riding turned around and began to light the remaining water lanterns on the boat and throw them into the lake.
Because of watching a good show, everyone's mood is very good, and when they light the water lantern, their mood also changes completely.
Unconsciously, the painting boat approached another group of painting boats of the same type, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt as if all the painting boats were parked on the surface of the lake, neatly separated by a few meters on the lake.
"Miss, the wonders of Closed Moon Lake will be seen in a short time, and now everyone has consciously parked the painting boat." September opened his mouth to speak, but he solved the confusion of Hua Shangxue and others.
It turned out that the so-called wonder was about to happen, no wonder they all stopped paddling so tacitly.
The boatman quickly opened the window on the painting boat and moved it and waited to come out, so that Hua Shangxue and the others could sit on the deck on the top floor of the painting boat and watch the wonders of Closed Moon Lake.
When I turned my head, the nearby painting boat did the same thing, except that one lamp was left on, and the extra lights were blown out invariably.
The lights went out in an instant, only the water lanterns on the lake twinkled like stars, and the lone lamps on the painting boat outlined a different landscape painting.
The gently swaying hull of the boat, drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and eating snacks, is indescribably comfortable.
The Krathong gradually drifted away with the flow of water, as if the Milky Way had fallen straight down to the land of the Nine Heavens, descending on mortal dust, and extending into the distance.
The silence did not last long, and the sound of weapons clashing from far and near, accompanied by a commotion.
Hua Shangxue couldn't help frowning, the rare peace was broken like this.
The previous collision was just that, and now what's going on.
As if realizing that something was wrong, the Jiujiu, Zhang Tian and Liu Bai brothers surrounded all the female dependents in the middle, each on guard, but their eyes fell in the direction where the sound of fighting came from.
The noise that was getting closer and closer was actually coming in this direction, and it was soon discovered that it was a group of black-clothed masked people, and they were fighting.
Among the three people who ran ahead, two of them were covered with black scarves, and the one who was protected in the middle was obviously a young man wearing a half-mask to cover his eyebrows.
Although I don't know where the other party came from, it can be seen that the frame is obviously fleeing with the help of the painting boat, but he chose the wrong direction and was forced to the edge.
Seeing that he was about to jump to the painting boat of Hua Shangxue, Hua Shangxue decisively ordered everyone to go down from the deck and hide in the compartment at their feet.
Hua Shangxue ordered Min'er to leave first, but he was not in a hurry.
Compared with Min'er, their hands are powerless, and Hua Shangxue still has a bit of self-protection ability when she walks behind.
Let the Zhang Tian brothers protect the people, and the group prepared to go down, blew out the lights by the way, and instructed the boatman to leave this place of right and wrong before the other party came.
The painting boat left slowly, and when it was about to break away from the painting boat group, it was so good that the three masters and servants who were obviously chased and killed flew onto the painting boat, and even with the flowers on the snow and September, they just arrived at the entrance of the boat, and collided with each other.
September took Hanakami Snow behind him, and Hanakami Snow held the dagger he got from September in his hand in front of him, and retreated to the edge.
The masked man glanced at Hua Shangxue's location lightly, but his gaze fell on the person who had already caught up, and he pursed his lips, knowing that there was nowhere to escape, so he could only fight.
The sound of choking out of the sheath sounded, and the two men in black next to the masked man pulled out their swords and quickly got entangled with the four people who chased the boat.
However, the strength of the two is limited, and one person can only stop one person, but he missed two people to chase and kill the masked man.
In the face of two enemies, the masked man is not afraid, but the folding fan in his hand makes a crisp metal impact sound when the opponent's long sword hits, as if it is a special fan bone, which can be used as a weapon.
Seeing the fight close at hand, Hua Shangxue glanced at the carriage behind him, but the two Zhang Tian brothers walked up and blocked the entrance, obviously preventing the other party from breaking into the interior and hurting people.
September was injured, so Hua Shangxue pulled into the cabin, but he stood at the top of the stairs, and did not hide in the corner with Min'er, but looked at the situation outside through the entrance.
There was a cracking sound, accompanied by a popping sound of falling water, and one of the masked man's guards accidentally died because of his death, causing him to kick into the water.
The mask man who was originally two against one became three against one at the moment, and the three of them besieged him, while the other guard was anxious about the safety of the mask man, and his tricks were obviously a little messy, and he frequently let the other party seize the weakness and almost die.
Because of the relationship between the water lanterns on the lake, it is not dark all around, and I can't see anything clearly, just the light on the lake, looking at the masked man who is being besieged, I don't know why, there is a kind of indescribable familiarity.
It's a pity that the mask obscured a large part of the face, and Hua Shangxue couldn't recognize the other party's identity through this. However, it can be seen that this person is very young, definitely no more than twenty years old.
What makes her feel this familiar feeling must be someone she has seen and has a certain impression.
But who is it?
Hua Shangxue couldn't figure out who it was after thinking about it.
There was another sound of falling water, but it was the masked man's guard who dealt with his opponent.
It's just that the other party didn't rush to help his master, but suddenly turned his eyes to the direction where Hua Shangxue was.
Hua Shangxue's heart thumped, and there was a bad feeling.
Before Brother Zhang Tian could react, a dagger rested on Hua Shangxue's neck, and the man in black looked at the two brothers Zhang Tian with a bloodstained sword, and said coldly: "If you want her to live, go and help my master, otherwise I want her to die." ”
It was also considered unlucky to spend the snow, and it happened to be close to the position of the man in black at the entrance, because he didn't expect the other party's speed to be so fast, so he pulled her out from the corner of the entrance and took her hostage.
"Don't hurt my young lady." Zhang Tian shouted in a deep voice.
"Kill those people, and I'll release them."
"We are not strong enough, we can't beat it at all."
"If you can't beat it, you have to fight, drag one to death counts as one, anyway, if you don't do it, I'll kill her, don't think about it."
"You ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, do it. The one in the back is also up, don't try to hide. The man in black looked at September and scolded.
"He's an ordinary person, you're sending him to death. We don't want to get involved in your grievances. Hua Shangxue said in a cold voice, and her heart was burning with anger.
"Let go." The masked man's cold voice came, and his eyes through the mask were as sharp as an eagle.
"Master, this ......"
"Let go." The voice that came again made it clear what the other party meant.
The man in black who was holding the snow on the flower didn't dare to let go of his hand and killed it with his sword.
A desperate style of play, ready for the madness of life for life.
Standing on the side of the deck, the snow on the flower that was immediately protected by September suddenly felt that his back was sticky, and when he reached out and touched his tentacles, it was blood red.
This is the blood of the man in black, he was seriously injured, no wonder he would desperately hold her hostage, and once asked Brother Zhang Tian for help.
Now in such a life-for-life fight, he expected his end, just to give the masked man a chance to live. (To be continued......)
