168 Escort tour of the lake
The breeze blows across the lake, rippling layers of waves, and then being blown into the distance. The oars stir the water, startling the swimming fish. The boat slowly left the shore, and the weeping willows on both sides were planted all over the shore, sprinkling a shade of shade.
Under the canopy, the two sat on opposite sides of the boat, the boatman wore a hat on his head, and the high-pitched and loud fishing song spread far away, and after a long silence, it was still silent. The boat rowed towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and it seemed that even the air had condensed in the small space.
Lan Junyao was helpless, but she had to accompany him. Early this morning, Father-in-law Dequan came to her room, and she hurriedly dressed and got up, as if the emperor didn't know what was going on.
Who expected that the will of Dequan made her dumbfounded, after she rescued the palace maids yesterday, Shuang Xiujing went to see the emperor, the two talked for a long time, Shuang Xiujing euphemistically expressed that he had just arrived, and wanted to swim in Gyeonggi, but unfortunately he was not familiar with life and did not take care of it.
He also picked and chose how Jingjing An Xiuyi saved the palace maids, and praised her, only saying that he had never seen such a hearty woman in the Southern Frost Country. All in all, he said all the good things about Lan Junyao in front of the emperor, and expressed the feelings in his heart.
The emperor did not doubt that he had him, and it happened that the sun had been sunny in the past two days, which was suitable for travel, so he pointed to Lan Junyao to accompany His Royal Highness the prince of Nanshuang Kingdom to play in Gyeonggi.
Before leaving, Father-in-law Dequan instructed him to the effect that His Royal Highness the Prince must be served happily, if it weren't for the emperor's loss of face, her punishment would be small, and it would not be good for Prime Minister Lan's family. Although Lan Junyao was angry in her heart, she had to do it.
"The water on the shore of Biyan Lake is in the sky, my sister is holding the baby and waiting for my brother to return, the spring breeze blows the green riverbank, why doesn't my brother return it?" The abrupt sound of the horn fell into the black canopy, and a touch of embarrassment on Lan Junyao's face suddenly appeared, and the boatman actually regarded the two of them as an awkward little couple.
"I think it's the little brother who did something sorry for the little sister-in-law outside, right? Listen to my advice, which man has not been touched with meat, little sister-in-law, even if you punish him, the trouble between the little husband and wife will pass, just one sentence, don't hurt the root for this." Although the boatman was supporting Artemisia, he knew at a glance what the two of them were doing.
"Brother Boat, you misunderstood. Lan Junyao wanted to defend herself, but she was interrupted by Frost Xiujing, who was sitting opposite her.
"Brother Boat is right, I did something wrong, you can forgive me this time. Shuang Xiujing suddenly straightened up and waved at Lan Junyao. Then, he put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture.
Lan Junyao was confused, but when she saw him pulling herself towards the stern, he had a tough posture and could not refuse. The boatman, though his back to them, was watching them from beginning to end. Otherwise, how could they be so clear about their every move?
At this moment, the boat is driving between the center of the lake and the shore of the lake, Shuang Xiujing looked around, and felt bad in his heart, there was no second boat on the huge lake, and then looked at the foot, there was a faint black shadow at the bottom of the boat, and he couldn't see clearly. Lan Junyao followed his gaze, and her face couldn't help but become ugly. Before getting on the boat, his guards were deliberately left on the shore by him, and it was too late to rescue him at this moment.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they were secretly sitting and preparing. Before they could stand still, they heard the boatman shouting, "The wind is blowing, sit down carefully!"
These words were clearly a secret signal for them to do something, and before the words came out, the boatman threw the oar in his hand aside, and the whole man ran towards them, a long sword in his hand with a clear whistling sound.
At the same time, black shadows rose up from each side of the boat, and the splash of water soaked their clothes, and the bottom of the boat shook, and the boat was chiseled through the bottom of the boat, and the water poured in from the lake, wetting their shoes and socks.
Just as the tip of the boatman's sword was about to stab them, Frost Xiujing suddenly took her and spun up, and the hems of the two of them were like two blooming white lotuses, standing on top of the black canopy.
This makes the target bigger, but it's also easier to be seen. Glancing at the battle around them, both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts, and eight black-clothed masked men surrounded the two of them in the middle of the battle with horns, each of them eating a long sword that shone with silver light in their hands.
"Everyone, it is better to settle the grievances, I don't know why you want to surround the two of us here. Frost Xiujing fell silently, since he got on the boat, he felt that something was wrong, and carefully observed the boatman's journey, and this feeling became more and more intense.
Since he opened his mouth, Frost Xiujing has been vigilant, although he tried his best to hide it, the thick Nanshuang accent in his mouth could not be changed. The ugliness on his face became even stronger, and he didn't expect that they chased from Nanshuang to Dongling, but he didn't know which palace master instructed him.
These black-clothed people were even more aggrieved in their hearts, they were ordered by the queen mother to get rid of this wild boy who came out of nowhere, who knew that along the way, the guards were tight, and they had no way to start.
Finally, when he left the palace today, and there was no entourage with him, they got the ship before the two of them. "Don't blame our brothers when you go underground, you can only blame you for not being long-sighted and offending people who shouldn't be offended. ”
The boatman said, the long sword in his hand was not idle, and he beckoned to the two of them after finding a gap, Lan Junyao was about to make a move, but was stopped by Shuang Xiujing, if she was looked at, her past efforts and hiding would be in vain, and she would be suspected by the emperor because of this.
Even under the siege of eight people, Shuang Xiujing seemed to be at ease, but he was holding another person in his arms, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that his strength would run out, and the two of them would have to be slaughtered by others.
Lan Junyao hid in his arms, and the sleeve arrow on her wrist was already aimed at the target, even if she couldn't make a move, she wouldn't be a drag on him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for Shuang Xiujing to take her to dodge, the soft arm hidden under the hem of the wide coat suddenly straightened up, facing the man in black in front of her, although the arrow was short, it did not enter the chest of the man in black.
The stamina of the Sleeve Arrow was extremely great, and just this arrow shocked Lan Junyao's entire arm numb. The death of the man in black did not stop their attack, but the remaining seven people were stimulated to be ferocious, as if they were not dying, the seven swords stabbed at the two of them in unison, and the empty door in front of them was wide open.
Lan Junyao and Shuang Xiujing suddenly fell into a dangerous situation, although Shuang Xiujing fought to get rid of the three black-clothed people in front of him, there were still three people behind him, and the boatman who swooped down, he was about to throw the person in his arms out.
The momentum of the attack of the three behind them came to an abrupt halt, and even the boatman fell in front of them without a blink. The two of them looked back, and a delicate painting boat had appeared behind them, and a row of guards with short bows were still squatting along the side of the painting boat.
