Although Hongye Zhu is not the main waterway between the north and the south, in addition to the boat that Xu You is on, there are more than a dozen ships of all kinds waiting for the slender man to pass, and at this time, there are three of them on the left side, and the dark arrow just now is shooting from this direction, but it is not certain which ship Yue Yao is hiding on.

Zuo Yan lowered his head, grateful to Xu You in his heart, not because he interceded for himself, but only because of his tone and attitude when he spoke, he treated himself as an equal person.

Feng Tong was not a fool at all, frowning and thinking about it, he understood what Xu You meant, and exclaimed: "You mean ......"

"Yes, although Xu's case has been closed, some people still don't give up and want to take advantage of my way to Qiantang to do some villainous plots." Xu You said lightly: "If Steward Feng is afraid, I can get off the boat here and return to Yixing by myself." ”

Feng Tong said angrily: "What did Lang Jun say, my Yuan family has crossed the river for a hundred years, although I don't like to fight with others, but I have never been afraid of anything." Please rest assured, no one can touch a single hair of you when you go to Jinling! ”

These words made Xu You look at him with admiration, although this person is annoying, but it is still a bit bloody to defend the Yuan family.

Speaking of which, since he got on the Yuan family's ship and was a guest of the Yuan family, the Shen family actually sent a killer to assassinate him, it was like slapping Yuan's face in the face, no wonder Feng Tong was angry!

"Zuo Yan, you say, what are the countermeasures?"

Zuo Yan said respectfully: "As soon as we left Yixing, I found that there was a bream boat behind the boat that was moving strangely, and it seemed to deliberately follow behind him, maintaining a distance of more than 20 zhang. Fang just probed in the rear, but found that the boat had suddenly disappeared, so he hurried over, and happened to encounter Lang Jun who was stabbed ......"

"I asked you what you should do, what do you say is useless?" Feng Tong was very displeased, and said, "You just need to say what to do now?" ”

Xu You is becoming more and more interested in this Zuo Junhou, this person is not only not weak in martial arts, but also extremely shrewd and capable, he can even detect being followed from the beginning, and cleverly associate the tracking ship with himself. Once you find that there is a change, you will come immediately without hesitation, and then take decisive action to solve the crisis.

This thing is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, without keen observation, unable to find and track the ship, without deep thinking about Shen Xu's internal fighting, it is impossible to determine that the other party's target is Xu You in such a short period of time, and most importantly, if there is no strong execution, even if the first two are available, he is likely to have no time to stab this sword!

Observation, thinking, and execution, these are the three abilities that Xu You required his subordinates to have when he did private equity in his previous life, although in this era, many things have changed, but what has changed is always only the appearance, not the essence.

In essence, this era, and those that followed, were no different!

Zuo Yan smiled bitterly: "The assassins who came this time are good at concealment, their methods are unpredictable, and we are in an open place on the river, which is the most beneficial place for archery masters, the enemy is dark and I am clear, it is really not easy to deal with!" ”

Feng Tong's face became ugly, Xu You is here, wouldn't he admit that there is no one in the Yuan family? Squinted at Zuo Yan, showing him no mercy at all, and said in a weird manner: "You are ranked first among the top ten military candidates of the Yuan Mansion, and you will only say these depressing words that look like others are majestic?" If you can't even cope with a few Jianghu guests, what's the use of Lord Lang raising you? ”

No matter how Zuo Yan tolerated it, he couldn't help but feel annoyed when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "The martial arts under the post are low, so I can only do these small things to welcome and send off guests, as for the rest, Lord Lang didn't give orders, and it is not in the job of the subordinate." ”

"You!" Feng Tong didn't expect Zuo Yan to dare to talk back, although he knew that he had always been a thorn in the Yuan Mansion, but in the past few years, I don't know if he has suffered too much and lost a little memory, and he is usually respectful, but today he dared to embarrass himself in front of Xu You!

It's the other way around!

Seeing that Feng Tong's face was not good, and he was about to have a seizure, Xu You suddenly shouted: "Be careful!" A shoulder bump hit Feng Tong's chest, staggered him back a few steps, hit the back of his heart against the mast, and then plopped forward and lay on the ground, Gao Guan also loosened the tie and crooked to the side of his neck, looking very embarrassed.

"Steward Feng, how are you, you weren't hurt, were you?" The smile on the corner of Xu You's lips flashed, and he helped Feng Tong up with an anxious expression. Feng Tong's heart was not smooth by this blow, his head was blank, and he exhaled when he heard Xu You's voice, and said blankly: "Just now...... What happened? ”

"You didn't see that?" Xu You suddenly said: "Well, forget that Steward Feng doesn't know martial arts." Just as we were talking, another poisoned arrow shot at you, I have no weapon in my hand, so I can only temporarily push you away to avoid the poisoned arrow, fortunately the dodge was timely, and it didn't hurt the steward. ”

Xu You said and looked at Zuo Yan specially, Zuo Yan didn't know that Xu You was for his own good, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the poisonous arrow just now came quickly and urgently, and the tip of the arrow grazed the steward's chest ** and fell into the river water on the right side of the hull, if Xu Langjun hadn't found it early, and waited for his subordinates to react, I'm afraid it would have been too late." ”

This person is really fine, and he also knows the lie of arranging a poisonous arrow to shoot down the river, otherwise Feng Tong will definitely be suspicious when he sees that there are no extra arrows on the boat!

When Feng Tong heard this, he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, how could he remember to punish Zuo Yan, who was pulled up by Xu You to stand up, his lips trembled a little, and said: "The thieves are rampant to this point, Lang Jun, let's go back to the cabin first, and then make a plan!" ”

"It's okay, Steward Feng, please!"

Back in the main cabin, Zuo Yan first looked around, and then closed the slanted curtains of the windows on both sides to avoid revealing his figure and becoming the target of the four arrows who didn't know where to hide. Xu You and Feng Tong sat opposite each other, Feng Tong experienced this kind of danger for the first time, and after sitting for a while, his mood calmed down slightly, and said: "Where did this thief come from, he is so bold, even my Yuan's boat dares to intercept and kill, it's just dead!" ”

Jianghu guests are looking for food on the knife edge, and what they do is a lifeless business, not to mention the Yuan family, that is, the emperor, as long as there are enough interests, there will be people who dare to take risks.

Of course, daring to take risks and succeeding in taking risks are two different concepts!

Xu You didn't speak.

Feng Tong waited for a while, frowned, and said, "Lang Jun, you just said that someone is not giving up, so naturally you said the Shen family." But thinking about it at this moment, the battle between the Shen family and your Xu family is already a lose-lose situation, how can you be so reckless to offend our Yuan family? I'm afraid it doesn't make sense! ”

Xu You beckoned to Zuo Yan, who was standing on the side, and said, "Zuo Junhou, what are you doing standing, come and sit!" ”

Zuo Yan was terrified, and said: "In front of the nobles, how can there be any reason for me to sit? ”

Xu You laughed and said, "Speaking carefully, I'm just a Qi Min now, what kind of noble person is I?" Isn't it that Zuo Junhou is disgusted and afraid of losing his identity? ”

Zuo Yan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Lang Jun is serious, I have no such intention!" ”

"That's it, come on, come on, don't be formal, today's matter is very tricky, and you need to rely on the courage of Zuo Junhou, Steward Feng, don't you say?"

Feng Tong is proud of his identity, of course he doesn't want to sit with Zuo Yan, it is Xu You, and it is also for the sake of his face in the marriage letter with Sanniang, otherwise, hum!

Seeing that Feng Tong was silent, Zuo Yan's face was embarrassed, and his heart was depressed beyond words, Xu You persuaded: "Manager Feng, Zuo Junhou can answer your question just now, why don't you invite him to sit down and discuss together?" ”

Feng Tong nodded reluctantly, Zuo Yan had the heart not to go, but he couldn't bear to brush Xu You's kindness, and endured his anger and knelt a little behind the two of them to show respect.

"Junhou, just now Steward Feng said that the Shen clan would not be so unwise and risk offending the Yuan clan to send someone to assassinate me, what do you think about this?"

Zuo Yan bowed and said, "If the trailing bream boat doesn't disappear, my subordinates are still not sure that this matter is related to the Wuxing Shen clan." But as soon as the bream boat disappeared, the moon in the four arrows was immediately launched, and it is conceivable that there must be a problem during the period! ”

"What's the problem?" Xu You asked.

"First, when I arrived in Yixing last night, I found that there were Shen clan's subordinates snooping outside Lang Jun's mansion, so the bream boat that followed me must be related to the Shen clan; second, the four arrows, or only the moon, must be on that bream boat; Third, the other party should not have planned where to do it, but just happened to see our boat stop at Hongye Zhu, and Lang Jun was standing alone in the bow of the boat, which was a once-in-a-lifetime good time, so Yueyao chose to make a move: Fourth, before making a move, the Shen family must have wanted to clear up the relationship, so the bream boat disappeared, and it should have turned back and walked the river to the north. In this way, no matter whether the four arrows are successful or not, the Shen family can stay out of the matter. ”

Xu You smiled, cast an appreciative look at Zuo Yan, and said to Feng Tong: "Steward Feng, do you think Zuo Junhou's words can explain your doubts?" ”

"This ...... It's also said in the past, after all, it wasn't the hands of the Shen family, and we have no evidence to show that these Jianghu guests are related to the Shen family......"

Zuo Yan interjected: "The four arrows only receive money to kill people, and they do not belong to any faction!" ”

The corners of Feng Tong's mouth twitched, he almost had an illusion, is Zuo Yan's head a little unusual today, so he will offend himself again and again? If it was put aside on weekdays, would he dare to interject indiscriminately when he was talking?

Xu You clapped his hands, pulled Feng Tong back from the state of anger, and said, "That's it, the Shen family has money, and the killer is invited." I'm afraid that in addition to the four arrows, there will be other people, Steward Feng, you have to think clearly, it's too late to regret it now, I'll get off the boat, so as not to affect your Yuan family! ”

As soon as Feng Tong remembered that he was in danger just now, he felt inexplicably bored with Xu You, the broom star, but first, he couldn't disobey Lord Lang's order to take him to Jinling, and secondly, he also hated Shen's behavior of not giving face, and said: "It's still my words, the Yuan family has crossed the river for a hundred years, and has never been afraid of anything, Lang Jun doesn't need to say anything!" ”

"Good! In that case, I'll leave everything to Feng in charge! My body is not well yet, this will feel tired, go to the cabin to rest first! ”

"Huh?" Feng Tong was dumbfounded and said, "Lang Jun, you ......"

"How?" Xu You was just about to get up, but when he saw Feng Tong's appearance, he knelt down and said, "Does Steward Feng have anything to say?" ”

Feng Tong opened his mouth, he didn't have a hurry, he blurted out what he was thinking in his heart, and said: "Didn't Zuo Junhou say it, he is helpless about it, how to deal with it, he still needs Lang Jun's help to plan!" ”

Although Xu You is young, he grew up in the Xu family, which dominates Jiangdong by force, and has a family history, and is more or less stronger than others in leading troops, commanding and fighting formations. He is also a well-known young martial arts genius, and to deal with these Jianghu guests, he must rely on his skills, so after Feng Tong was disappointed in Zuo Yan, he pinned his hopes on Xu You, how could he let him swagger out of the matter?

Zuo Yan lowered his head and clenched his palms tightly, he said that the four arrows were not easy to deal with, but as long as they were strictly defended and carefully arranged, with more than 100 elite troops on the ship, they were afraid that they would really be rushed up by the other party. Feng Tong humiliated himself like this, which is really unbearable and unbearable!

As soon as he raised his head, he was about to refute, but he happened to see Xu You shaking his head lightly at him, his eyes were reassuring, his eyes couldn't help but be hot, and he didn't have the mind to talk nonsense with an incompetent person like Feng Tong, so he sat still.

What Xu You was waiting for was Feng Tong's words, it was a matter of life and death, he didn't have such a big heart, he would go back to sleep, retreat as advance, just want to put forward conditions.

He pretended to groan, and said: "I really have some experience in dealing with such a thing." It's just that there is a difficulty in it, and Steward Feng may not be willing to agree......"

Feng Tong is now sick and goes to the doctor, and said, "You say, you say." ”

"To deal with the four arrows, I need command of the entire ship!"

"Huh?"

Xu You Zhengse said: "There is no order in the army, if there is no command, I can't confirm that every step is carried out according to my intentions, once there is an omission, it is likely to repeat the scene of being attacked by a secret arrow just now." At that time, not only me, but also Steward Feng, may not be able to escape the deadly attack again. ”

Feng Tong thought about it, the boat was full of people from the Yuan Mansion, even if he gave Xu You the right to command, he couldn't toss the moth, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay, as long as you can arrive at Jinling safely, everything will be up to you!" ”
