Duan Canghai also squatted down beside Qi Ning, saw Qi Ning tear open the sleeves of the man's shirt, and saw Qi Ning's face change slightly, knowing that something was wrong, he asked, "Master Hou, what's wrong?" ”

Qi Ning didn't answer, he groaned slightly, and then raised his head and asked Wang Xiang: "What is this person's name?" What does he do on the ship? ”

"Back to Master Hou, his name is Xu Gan, and he is the purchase on the ship. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Wang Xiang hurriedly replied: "The weekday consumption on the ship is all Xu Gan went out to buy. ”

"What about the others?" Qi Ning said: "In addition to Xu Gan who often gets off the boat, do other people often get off the boat?" ”

Wang Xiang hurriedly said: "Back to the Hou Ye, the Qinhuai River only starts doing business at night, so except for Xu Gan who goes out to buy during the day, most of the people rest during the day and do things at night. In the past few days, except for the villain who went to the Hou Mansion to invite the Hou Ye, the others did not get off the boat, the girl will give everyone a day off every month, and when it comes to the holiday, you can get off the boat, but you can't leave easily on weekdays. ”

Qi Ning frowned and asked, "Xu Gancai buys things, is there no one to follow?" ”

"The things we buy are all sent directly to us." Wang Xiang explained: "They are all acquaintances, and Xu Gan only needs to go to the store with the purchase list to say hello." ”

"So, only you and Xu Gan have ever disembarked in the past few days?" Qi Ning's expression was solemn.

Wang Xiang actually felt that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to make the slightest mistake, so he thought about it for a while before he said: "Master Hou, the last time everyone got off the boat was seventeen days ago, because they had to prepare for the meeting after the flower, so since that time, except for the villain and Xu Gan, everyone has never left. ”

Qi Ning stood up, glanced at everyone around him, and asked, "How many people are there on the boat besides Xian'er?" ”

Wang Xiang said: "There are four boatmen, three men, and four guards, plus Xu Gan and the villain who are responsible for purchasing, there are a total of thirteen men, and there are four maids serving the young lady, except for the girls, a total of seventeen people." ”

"Call all the men on the boat." Qi Ning's expression was stern.

Wang Xiang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to find the men on the boat, Duan Canghai took the opportunity to ask again: "Master Hou, did you find anything abnormal?" ”

Qi Ning smiled bitterly: "I just hope I guessed wrong, otherwise there will be a big incident this time." ”

"Big deal?"

Qi Ning said: "Don't be anxious, if I didn't guess wrong, then it would explode soon, and if you don't want to know, you can't do it." Suddenly, I felt that someone was looking at me, and when I looked up, I saw Zhuo Xian'er standing on the side of the boat on the second floor, looking at herself from a distance, she was wrapped in the big white coat, and in the night wind, she looked extremely delicate.

Qi Ning smiled softly at Zhuo Xian'er and said, "It's not a big deal, it's too cold outside, don't get cold." ”

Zhuo Xian'er nodded obediently, turned around and went back to the cabin, Duan Canghai leaned closer and whispered: "Master Hou, this girl is just afraid that she is really emotional about you." She hasn't really set foot in the field of Fengyue yet, and her friendship with Hou Ye shouldn't be fake. ”

Qi Ning can actually feel that Zhuo Xian'er is not so considerate to him because of his identity as a marquis of Jinyi, after all, he is also a well-informed person, whether a woman is acting on the scene with false feelings or really moving her true feelings, he can also judge.

"Second Uncle Duan, there is one thing I need your help with." Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before saying, "Send someone tomorrow to watch from the vicinity, I may have some things to be busy with these days, but Miss Xian'er, from tomorrow onwards, I don't want to see anyone else board her ship." ”

Duan Canghai comprehended and said with a smile: "Master Hou, this is not a big deal, you can just leave it to me." ”

Wang Xiang had already summoned all the men on the boat at this time, and according to Qi Ning's instructions, they stood in a row, and everyone was nervous, not knowing what was going on.

"Pull up your sleeves." Qi Ning said: "Duan Canghai, you are carrying a lantern. ”

Duan Canghai immediately understood what Qi Ning wanted to do, took the lantern, and carried it in his hands, and everyone on the boat did not dare to delay, according to Qi Ning's instructions, they all pulled up their sleeves.

Qi Ning looked at them one by one, and when he walked to the third person, he changed color slightly, and said, "You come out and stand aside." ”

The man didn't know why, but he didn't dare to disobey, and walked out of the queue and stood aside.

When Qi Ning came to the end, except for Xu Gan, who was lying unconscious on the ground, eight of the remaining twelve people were called out by Qi Ning, including Wang Xiang.

Everyone looked at each other, but Duan Canghai had already seen that the eight people who were called out by Qi Ning had more or less red spots on their arms, some of them were quite conspicuous, and some of them were just faint marks, which were not clear.

Wang Xiang felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask, "Master Hou, is this ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"It's hard to explain now, but remember, you must not go upstairs." Qi Ning's expression was solemn, and he didn't explain much, went up to the second floor, and when he entered the cabin, Zhuo Xian'er had already greeted him and asked, "Master Hou, is there something wrong?" ”

"Xian'er, do you still have four maids here?" Qi Ning didn't explain, and let them in first.

Zhuo Xian'er saw Qi Ning's grim expression, and hurriedly called a few people in, Qi Ning didn't care about anything else at this time, so she rolled up her sleeves and took a closer look at the lights, and breathed a sigh of relief.

There are a few maids upstairs, but there are no marks on their arms.

"You go down first, but don't go downstairs just yet." Qi Ning instructed: "Don't come into contact with the men on the ship. ”

"Master Hou, what's wrong?" Waiting for the maids to retreat, Zhuo Xian'er asked a little anxiously.

Qi Ning thought for a moment before he said: "Xian'er, on your ship, there should be a disease spreading, the person you saw just now is crazy, not really crazy, it should be a symptom." ”

"Huh?" Zhuo Xian'er was surprised: "Illness? ”

Qi Ning said: "I don't know exactly what the situation is now, but the speed of the spread of this disease should be very fast, fortunately, a few of you are safe and sound for the time being, but remember, don't come into contact with the men downstairs, most of them have been infected." ”

Zhuo Xian'er's pretty face turned slightly white, and she seemed to be a little flustered: "That..... So what to do? ”

"Don't worry, I'll go back and figure out a way now." Qi Ning sighed, thinking that it should have been a good night, but who knew that such an incident would happen.

He knew that the sooner this kind of thing was resolved, the better, so he reached out and patted Zhuo Xian'er's face gently, and said softly: "Don't worry, you stay here first, listen to me, don't go downstairs, and don't let the people below come up." I don't know what the path of spread is at the moment, but ...... As long as you don't get up close, you should be fine. ”

"Xian'er...... Fairy listens to you. Zhuo Xian'er said obediently: "But...... But Hou Ye has been in contact with them just now, will there be something wrong? ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that I wasn't worried about this now, but he still smiled: "I have been in contact for a short time, so it should be fine." After a pause, he said, "Xian'er, I'll go first, and come back as soon as possible to help them treat." ”

Zhuo Xian'er nodded and said, "Okay, Xian'er is waiting for you to come back." ”

Zhuo Xian'er stood on the side of the boat upstairs, watching Qi Ning and Duan Canghai leave, until they couldn't see their figures, and then turned back to the cabin.

As soon as he entered the cabin, he saw a person standing by the window, facing out of the window, with his back to Zhuo Xian'er, wearing a black coat, wearing a certain black fur hat on his head, carrying his hands, and on the back of his hand, there was a flame tattooed that seemed to be burning.

Zhuo Xian'er was not surprised, she just walked to the edge of the chair, sat down recliningly, raised one hand, looked at her green jade hands, her nails were dyed with red phoenix juice, and her voice was indifferent: "You seem to enjoy the feeling of entering without telling you." ”

The man didn't look back, just said lightly: "You also seem to enjoy being with that man and talking about love." His voice was deep and deep, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Oh?" Zhuo Xian'er raised her willow eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips: "What, you can't get used to it?" Or have you been peeking outside? ”

"If it weren't for what was going on outside, you really wanted to sleep with him?" The man said lightly: "I don't think you will be so confused." ”

Zhuo Xian'er looked at her slender jade hand and said with a smile: "You don't seem to care who I'm with." ”

"I don't care what you want to do." The man said, "But don't forget that if you ruin the whole plan because of your own mistakes, it won't be me who will be unhappy. ”

Zhuo Xian'er frowned slightly, and said, "I don't need you to remind me, I know what I'm doing." ”

"But you're ready to sleep with him." The man's voice was very indifferent: "Don't you forget, he is a member of the Qi family, as far as I know, this person just came down from the Great Light Temple not long ago, do you know what he did on the mountain?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Mo Lancang's second disciple, Bai Yuhe, was defeated by his men." The hands on the man's back moved unconsciously, and the flame on the back of the hand seemed to be also rising, and he said slowly: "And it is said that this person defeated the White Feather Crane with only one move, do you think this person is a general?" ”

Zhuo Xian'er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that his martial arts are so powerful, I underestimate him." Raising his head slightly, his swan-like neck was as white as jade, and he had a sweet smile on his face: "He looks very gentle, but he turns out that his martial arts are also very good." ”

I heard the man snort coldly and said, "Do you really like him?" ”

Zhuo Xian'er didn't answer, but asked: "We haven't had a good way, but this time I met him by accident, don't you think this is a great opportunity?" ”

"Of course I do." The man sneered: "I'm just worried that you are confused, you must know that if you want to do great things, you must not be emotional, especially in this matter, if you are really emotional, it will become the biggest variable and weakness of this plan, of course I will not allow such a thing to happen." Snorted coldly: "If you want to use the Dafa of Heart-Splitting on him, so that he mistakenly thinks that he has the joy of clouds and rain with you, I advise you to dispel this idea, you don't know the depth of this person, if he sees through it, all his efforts will be wasted." ”

Zhuo Xian'er's lips moved slightly, but she didn't speak.

"Beigong Liancheng has a blood relationship with him, this person can defeat the White Feather Crane with one move, there must be a connection with Beigong Liancheng behind it, and it also proves that Beigong Liancheng is not dead." The man said slowly: "We can't provoke Beigong Liancheng yet, so we must be cautious about this person, not only to let this person be used by us, but also ...... We must not allow Beigong Liancheng to discover our existence. ”

Zhuo Xian'er chuckled lightly, and said with a hint of mockery: "It seems that you are very afraid of Beigong Liancheng, is he really that terrible?" ”

"If you see him one day, you'll never laugh." The man didn't turn around the whole time, and his voice was low: "When he finds out that we exist, it may be our end!" ”
