Chapter 230: The Appearance of the Water Ghost
Tang Ningnan and their journey has always been smooth, it originally took half a month to get to Yongzhou, but now there are two days left.
"Niangniang, the prime minister is here."
Although they are in the same boat these days, they have basically not seen each other, Gu Chenzhe has been staying with Shen Congwen, and the two of them are basically discussing academic issues.
"Let's invite the prime minister to the flower hall first! I'll pack up and come over. "I'm about to arrive in Yongzhou, and I really need to discuss it.
Bizhu deliberately cleaned up a flower hall, just to facilitate Tang Ningnan to receive foreign men, no matter what, this ship is currently Tang Ningnan's most honorable status.
"Weichen came over suddenly, and I don't know if I disturbed the concubine!" Gu Chenzhe didn't come alone, but brought Shen Congwen with him, and he didn't know if it was to avoid suspicion or what.
Tang Ningnan instructed Hongzhu to go and have another cup of tea, at first he thought that there was only the prime minister alone, so he only prepared a cup of tea, Tang Ningnan didn't particularly like tea.
"I didn't bother, I don't know if the prime minister has anything to discuss with this palace?"
Shen Congwen has kept his head down since he entered the door, and even when he sat down, he was only next to the chair, his hands were tightly clasped together, and he could know how nervous he was without looking.
"This looks like it's about to arrive in Yongzhou, Weichen has a few things to discuss with Niangniang, before leaving, His Majesty has said that Niangniang must not be allowed to take risks." Feng Feihan talked to Gu Chenzhe alone, the purpose of which was to ensure Tang Ningnan's safety.
Tang Ningnan didn't feel surprised after hearing this, it was indeed quite like what Feng Feihan could do, no matter how he guaranteed before leaving, he couldn't believe it at all.
"This palace is here this time, just to collect the Gu worm that spreads the plague, and it won't go to a particularly dangerous place." Tang Ningnan also knew that the pressure on Prime Minister Gu should not be small.
I don't want to cause trouble to people, there are some things she won't do, I just hope that the people of Yongzhou can be safe this time.
Gu Chenzhe was still a little apprehensive before he came, knowing that this is the tip of the emperor's heart, even if he is not arrogant, he will be extremely arrogant, he never thought that he would be so friendly.
"Since Niangniang is so cooperative, Weichen is really grateful, ...... tomorrow!" There was a sudden heavy impact on the entire boat, so that Gu Chenzhe didn't say anything later.
Shen Congwen reacted very quickly, and immediately ran out to see what was going on, the guards of the entire boat all ran out, Tang Ningnan hurriedly ran to the place where he lived, and Feng Muchen was still asleep inside.
"You protect the concubine and the eldest prince, don't have any accidents, I'll take someone to see now, what's going on?" Gu Chenzhe's calm voice came from outside, which made people feel very relieved.
After all, this is an official ship, and after being hit, it only shook violently, but there was no loss in the rest, and a few of them quickly surrounded them.
"I just heard that Lord Shen say that this generation often haunts water ghosts, and I don't know if it's these people." Hongzhu looked at the outside with a nervous face, because if it was dark today, she couldn't see what was going on outside.
Tang Ningnan held the child in his arms, so that he could feel more down-to-earth, and he didn't know what was going on, he was very nervous in his heart, as if something was going to happen.
"Don't walk around there, it's making me a little dizzy, find a quiet place to sit down, it should be fine for a while." Tang Ningnan took a deep breath, wanting to exhale all the uneasiness in his heart.
Normally, this method is quite useful, but today I don't know what is going on, but my right eyelid has been jumping since I was just now, and it feels like something big is going to happen.
"Bang dang!" With another impact, it felt like the whole boat was about to fall, and the little gardenia fell to the ground at once, and Tang Ningnan was a little unstable holding the child.
Tang Ningnan quietly moved to the window, wanting to see what was going on outside, but he didn't expect that there was an enlarged face in front of the window, and Tang Ningnan felt that there was a breath in his chest, as if he was a little out of breath.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Bizhu soon noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran over to call Tang Ningnan, and kept helping her pat her back to calm down, which could be regarded as a relief.
When Tang Ningnan looked out, there was already nothing, she could see very clearly, it was indeed a human face outside just now, but it was because she was too scared at the time and didn't look carefully.
"I just saw someone outside, and I was scared at the time, but now it's okay, let's just stay here obediently and don't go out to make trouble for them." Tang Ningnan gasped for breath, feeling reborn.
She wished that she was hallucinating, so that she wouldn't be so scared, even if she drove these people away tonight, Tang Ningnan felt that she couldn't sleep at all.
"You may be dazzled, when the slave and maid looked out just now, it was pitch black outside, and there was nothing." After noticing that something was wrong with Tang Ningnan, Bizhu glanced outside, and there was even little movement outside.
As long as Tang Ningnan closes her eyes now, she is all on that face, she knows very well that she was not dazzled at that time, there is indeed a person outside the window, and she doesn't know how long she has been outside.
After another half an hour, it was finally quiet outside, Gu Chenzhe stood outside the door, and said that there was nothing wrong anymore, they were all water ghosts who came out to rob, and now they have all been expelled.
"Since there is nothing to do, the prime minister should hurry back and rest! However, it is still necessary to arrange for vigils and patrols. Tang Ningnan felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, and he always felt that this matter had not calmed down.
The outside was calm again, and Bizhu and the others hurriedly cleaned up, wanting to wait for Tang Ningnan to rest.
"Bizhu, you two can't stay tonight! I always felt a little scared in my heart, and I always felt that something else was going to happen. "Unprecedentedly, Tang Ningnan let them stay for the first time.
Bizhu cleaned up her hands and paused. Every time, Niangniang's intuition is very accurate, it is difficult to be this time, there is really something to happen.
"Hongzhu, you go and bring the covers of the two of us, and you will stay with Niangniang for the next two days." Seeing that Tang Ningnan's face was not particularly good, he was obviously frightened, and maybe he really saw something just now.
Hongzhu didn't say anything, except for listening to Tang Ningnan's words, the rest was to listen to Bizhu's orders.
The man outside heard their conversation and left quietly, it seemed that there was no chance tonight.
"The lord has already ordered, let you kill this concubine tonight, only in this way can you give the emperor a blow."
This person sat down by himself as if he hadn't heard it, such a big battle tonight was just to kill Tang Ningnan.
"I just took your father-in-law's money, as for when to kill that woman, it all depends on my mood, let alone you, even your father-in-law doesn't dare to point fingers in front of me."
The person who spoke just now was glared, and took a step back in fear, the man in front of him didn't blink an eye when he killed people, and he wouldn't be afraid of any power, as long as he was unhappy. Anyone can kill them.
"We sacrificed so many brothers at once today, but you didn't even kill a woman, didn't our brothers sacrifice in vain?" Although he was scared in his heart, he still fought with reason.
As if he hadn't heard, the man kept looking at a small thing in his hand, and because of the light, he couldn't see what it was.
"That's your business, what does it have to do with me? I didn't say I needed your help, and if I didn't want to die, I would disappear from my eyes. ”
Although he was unwilling, but his little life was important, he disappeared quickly, and the expression on the man's face immediately changed, he didn't know what happened to him tonight, and he was moved by compassion.
She is a ruthless killer, she doesn't have any feelings at all, no matter who she is, she can only become a ghost under his sword in the end, she has never moved any compassion, and she doesn't know what happened today.
On the other side, Tang Ningnan didn't sleep much all night, as long as she closed her eyes, she was all that face, boundless and endless fear, as if she had her whole person bound, after people had their own weaknesses, they began to be greedy, for fear of death.
"Mother, is it possible that you haven't slept much all night?" When she got up in the morning, Bizhu found that Tang Ningnan had been dozing off, and there was a dark blue around her eyes.
Tang Ningnan did not shy away from it, and directly said that he had a nightmare that he had all night, and the dream was full of a blurred face, and he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly.
"Could it be that he sent someone to assassinate you." Although Bizhu didn't say it explicitly, Tang Ningnan also knew who she was talking about, but Tang Baicao shouldn't do such a thing.
He tried his best to lure himself to Yongzhou, it was impossible, just sent someone to assassinate him, Tang Baicao would feel that he was cheaper like this.
"It can't be him, otherwise she wouldn't have to make so much effort to lure me to Yongzhou, there may be another force behind it." Tang Ningnan had been thinking about it since he couldn't sleep last night.
Ever since he knew that Tang Baicao had come to Daliang, no matter what happened, he would think of him, but judging from these recent events, it didn't look like his handwriting at all.
"That's weird. We should have no other worries, and the Sima family doesn't dare to toss anymore now. "Since the fall of Sima Bin, the Sima family has fallen apart.
Now a strange enemy suddenly appeared, and he didn't know the details of the other party, let alone who the other party was aiming for.
