Chapter 28: Switching to the waterway

After the day dawned, Xue Jinian stepped out of the deserted temple.

Hua Qian followed closely behind him, looking around as she walked. To tell the truth, she has lived for eighteen years, and the most cheating thing is to block the road, rob and flirt with beautiful men or something. In her hands, chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs died a lot, but there was absolutely no half of a human life.

Since following Xue Jinian's side, she has seen dead people twice in three days, and she has been brushing the lower limit every day, which is really exciting.

Except for the mess outside the house, there were no corpses, and it was thought that the brocade guards had cleaned the battlefield.

Hua Qian glanced at Xue Qi meaningfully, and looked at the actions of the brocade guards, and the brother knew that he wanted to go into the ground for peace. It's like you Dongchang, throw it at the back of the house, pile up like arhats into a hill, it's too disrespectful to the dead, it's really not worth it to work for you!

Xue Qi was so unclear by her that he said to Xue Jinian: "Overseer, what should we do next?" ”

Xue Jinian squinted at the dilapidated Yeji Temple and said, "Set off immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing Xue Qi's big hand, he quickly arranged the arrangement, Hua Qian was dumbfounded, don't wait for Jiang Lu?

Xue Jinian paced towards the carriage, and Hua Qian hurriedly followed: "Duke, we won't wait for the Lord of Qianhu?" ”

No, she just wanted to say, don't wait for help? You don't even count the people around you? It's at least half less than when she robbed him!

The road to Beijing is not yet halfway through.

Xue Jinian patted Ma Yuan and said, "I can't wait." ”

"He's dead?"

Xue Qi: "......"

Xue Jiqing laughed: "That's not true, it's just that since Jiang Lu proposed to leave, he didn't think about coming back." ”

Hanasa: "......"

It's a shame that she has a good impression of Jiang Lu, but she didn't expect him to do such a treacherous thing, and yesterday she said that it was the emperor who assigned her to protect her, ahh

"Last night, we were temporarily resting here, and the other party could keep an eye on the door, presumably all the way to Kyoto, they had already set up an ambush."

Xue Qi's face was gloomy, and the scar was even more terrifying, and he asked in a low voice, "Overseer, what should we do?" ”

Xue Jinian didn't say anything, and when the curtain of the carriage fell, Xue Qi heard a clear response: "Change to the waterway." ”

Inside the carriage, Hua Qian rubbed to his side and asked in a low voice, "Dugong, how did you guess that the brocade guard would not come back?" ”

She couldn't understand why Jiang Lu didn't flee when the assassins came last night, why did she have to defend desperately?

Xue Jinian pointed to her feet, Hua Qian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was a secret grid at her feet, she squatted down neatly with her hands and feet, took out a table of tea sets from it, and spread them in front of Xue Jinian one by one.

A few days ago, she saw that Xue Qi was operating like this.

Xue Jinian held the blue-glazed plum pot in his hand, poured himself a glass of water, and poured another cup for Hua Qian, who hurriedly took it: "Thank you, Dugong." ”

The water turned out to be hot, and I don't know how Xue Qi managed to do it.

"Jiang Lu's move is nothing more than asking me for a pardon, and now that he is going to transfer troops on the order of this governor, he naturally has no one to say that he is derelict in his duties, so it is more convenient for Shen Ye to exonerate him."

When it came to Shen Ye, he glanced at Hua Qian meaningfully.

However, Hua Qian didn't receive it at all, her mind was still immersed in his words, and the more she thought about it for a long time, the more wrong it became, there was an ambush in front and a chasing soldier in the back, you have fulfilled Jiang Lu, so who will fulfill us?

Hua Qian, who was concentrating on retreating, did not notice it, and not long after they left, the deserted temple where she had stayed overnight was on fire, and thick smoke could be seen rising from afar.

Hua Qian, who was sitting in the chariot, never looked back.

@@@

Bafeng Ferry is a small ferry, from the deserted temple out of less than an hour, Hua Qian saw a wide river.

Just after the hour, after a night of heavy rain, the sun actually came out, and the sun was not very strong, sprinkled on the calm river, sparkling.

An uppond boat was parked by the river, swaying slightly with the waves.

A pair of grandparents were fetching water, and when they saw a group of people, they stopped their movements.

Xue Qi motioned for his subordinates to go and inquire, Hua Qian was a little puzzled about this ship, can he sit so many people?

I just wanted to ask the boatman if there were any other passenger ships nearby, but before he could speak, he saw that the guard who went to negotiate took out a long knife, wiped the old man's neck neatly, and stabbed his backhand, and the child also fell into the water.

Hua Qian glared at him in shock, watching him wipe the long knife on the old man's body, wiping off the bloodstains, and then turned back to Xue Qi as if nothing happened: "Go back to the big stall, this is less than a hundred miles, it is the Jingning boundary, where ......"

Before he finished his words, he was intercepted by Hua Qian: "Why did you kill them?" ”
