The king said in a panic: "You say, what should I do now?" They decided that they wanted to kill Jingyin Wang Mei first? Zilan, Zilan ......"

Ling Yin Zilan came out of the side door: "Zilan is here, Brother Wang has something?" ”

King Chu pointed at Zilan and said, "You, you arrest Jin Shang Lao'er for King Gu." ”

Zilan was surprised and said, "Brother Wang, why is this?" Although Jin Shang is old and sometimes confused, this time the bet with Zhuang Ji is still very beautiful, and arresting him now is not conducive to him winning the gamble, so he must not be arrested. ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, he said with a smile: "Zilan hasn't understood Jin Shang's intentions yet, so she still ......."

Zilan interrupted and said, "Qu Lao'er, Zilan I know that it was you who stirred up trouble in front of the king. You are afraid that Zhuang Ji will lose, and you want to help Zhuang Ji win, I fully understand this, but you shouldn't deceive the king and make the king frightened, right? ”

Qu Yuan argued: "Where did the old man deceive the king? However, you have discussed the routine openly and secretly all day long, so you come to deceive the king's decree, and then coerce the king's decree to deceive the world. Zilan, think about it, Princess Jingyin is your sister, but you ignore her danger and follow Jin Shang every day, wishing he won this gamble that specifically harmed Princess Jingyin, where is your conscience? ”

Zilan faced the king of Chu and said: "The king is above, Qu Lao'er has wronged Zilan so much, it is really intolerable, please ask Brother Wang to be the master of Zilan." ”

Qu Yuan said mockingly: "Brother Wang will be the master of you, you will be deceived, you are not sharing for Brother Wang, but making trouble for him; didn't think about Jing Yin, but put a knife on her neck. Zilan, you should think carefully about what you have done. ”

After listening to their respective statements, King Chu couldn't make up his mind for a while, and said in annoyance: "You all go, King Gu wants to rest for a while." ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, he knew that the king was moved by Zilan's rhetoric again, so he pulled his feet and left.

Zilan stayed and said further to the king: "This annoying Qu Lao'er is finally gone. Brother Wang ignore him, an old minister, working hard for that rebel general every day, I don't know if he is tired, really. ”

The king seemed to be sober at this time, and said clearly: "Brother Zilan, don't be too extreme, as Ling Yin, don't speak too casually, Zhuang Ji relied on his own strength to recover the lost city for my Chu, and it has been proved that he is a loyal minister of Chu, why do you still call him a traitor?" ”

Zilan saw that the king's attitude was different, and immediately said: "Yes, Zilan has something to say carelessly, please forgive Brother Wang." However, Brother Wang must not listen to Qu Lao'er's words and stop Zhuang Ji and Jin Shang's gamble, because if this happens, it will damage the prestige of the king. ”

The king gestured and said, "Go too, go." ”

Zilan thought to herself, just go, Jin Shang is still waiting for me.

As soon as Jin Shang saw Zilan, he excitedly told him: "Good news, Wu Guanliang has successfully mixed into Princess Jingyin's side as a personal bodyguard, this was personally arranged by Zhuang Ji's young general Xiao Bu, and if something happens, it has nothing to do with the two of us." ”

Zilan said with a puzzled expression: "Ah, the progress is so fast, this Qin spy actually deceived Xiao Bu?" Unbelievable. ”

Jin Shang said excitedly: "What's unbelievable about this? The prison warden had already confessed to Zhuang Ji overnight about helping Wu Guan Liang escape, and let Zhuang Ji go in a hurry. Let's make this gamble a real mystery and see who will die in the end. ”

Zilan said with a sad face: "You are happy and have the certainty of victory, but what about the princess?" If you don't take Princess Jingyin's life in your eyes and secretly send someone to murder her, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get through with the king in the end. ”

Jin Shang said with an innocent face: "This is no way, do you think, if you let Zhuang Ji win, the king, you, how will the old man live in the future?" The power is controlled by the generals, what should we do with a bunch of civilian officials? It's uncomfortable to live with people's faces. ”

Zilan said strongly: "No matter how uncomfortable it is, you must ensure the safety of Princess Jingyin." ”

Jin Shang spread his hands and said, "You are giving the old man a problem, how can this be guaranteed?" You say that in order to win, there must be sacrifice; Otherwise, we will sacrifice ourselves. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds. ”

Princess Jingyin's condolences in Tongcheng are coming to an end, Xiaobu prepared the local products of Zongcheng, and the most important thing he did not forget was to buy fresh sugar and oil fruits for the princess.

Zhong Yitong said to Xiao Bu: "Xiao Bu Zuo General, haven't you reviewed all the guards of Princess Jingyin?" ”

Xiao Bu said: "Don't worry, I personally sent the princess, and the people who followed her are all experienced people, and these people are very clever." It's going to be fine. To Wucheng is straight downstream, the river breeze blows, the green mountains on both sides, think about it, what a refreshing river upstream. ”

I don't know if it was arranged by God, or Xiao Bu didn't calculate the mileage on the river, the princess's boat back to Wucheng sailed to the upper reaches of Yuanshui, and it was dark.

It was dark, and it brought a different feeling to those who had been on the boat for a day.

Wu Guanliang, who pretended to be a special soldier with the face of a Chu soldier, was even more excited.

He was instructed by General Xiao Bu Zuo to actively set up the table and prepare small stools to hold a party for Princess Jingyin's trip to the river.

After Xiaobu conquered the city, in order to celebrate, local officials and wealthy people set up a maiko team on their own, which was actually the maiko raised by the richest local tycoon.

In order to enrich Princess Jingyin's life on the ship, he borrowed this dance team and went down to Wushan with the boat, bringing joy to the princess while also dedicating the victory of Zongcheng to the king of Chu.

At this time, the Maiko were already performing backstage on the roof of the building.

Princess Jingyin sat directly opposite, with all kinds of fruits and special snacks of Citrus City placed in front of her. She watched and ate.

Music sounded, singing and dancing began, and the soldiers on the ship who attracted it also quietly hid and peeked.

After Wu Guanliang found out, he deliberately reported to Xiao Bu and said: "Xiao Zuo General, although it is relatively safe to travel at night on the ship, soldiers cannot leave their posts without authorization, as the saying goes, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”

Zhong Yitong heard this, and of course he pierced him and said: "You lie, apart from you, which soldier has left his duty post?" ”

Xiao Bu persuaded him: "He is also right to remind you, although the driving is smooth now, you still have to be vigilant at all times, beware of sudden high winds and waves." ”

Somehow, Zhong Yitong had a natural aversion to the fake Chu soldier Wu Guan Liang, and always stared at him from time to time, making his actions limited by this sharp vision. Therefore, in order to divert Zhong Yitong's attention, he asked Xiao Bu to reflect the situation of the soldiers leaving their posts out of nothing.

Xiao Bu knew a lot about the soldiers he brought, and after listening to the so-called opinions reflected by Wu Guanliang, he knew in his heart that he was making something out of nothing, so he was a little wary of him.

Xiao Bu specifically found the king's personal guard, You Er, and said, "You are staring at him, how has this Chu soldier changed?" ”

You Erxuan has been living in the palace all the time, how have you experienced such a storm? He nodded and agreed, but after leaving Xiaobu, he went to the cabin again.

After Zhong Yitong's reluctance, Wu Guanliang felt very regretful, and the usual tricks he used to use failed here, which made it even more difficult to implement the plan.

Seeing the boat sailing forward with the wind and the light of the moon already setting down, and the night getting shorter and shorter, after a while, a morning star winked at the stargazers.

Wu Guanliang pondered for a long time, how could he cause a little chaos and attract the princess to the past?

By this time, the song and dance were nearing the end, and the servants began to pack up their utensils.

Wu Guanliang's eyes were fixed on the pottery containing things, he walked to the table, and while the people who were cleaning up were not paying attention, he picked up one and threw it into the river.

A "plop" sound was transmitted to the building boat, and among the people who were about to leave, some people heard it and exclaimed: "Oh, someone jumped into the river." ”

Wu Guanliang was also shouting: "Yes, someone jumped into the river, save people, it's a pound of water jumping into the river......" He moved towards Princess Jingyin, slowly going around behind her.

As soon as Xiao Bu heard a pound of water, he remembered that this person's water nature was super good, and said: "You are grandstanding, what a pound of water, he is a person from the Qin army, how could he come to our ship?" ”

Wu Guanliang snorted: "This ...... The little one is talking and playing. ”

When Xiao Bu saw it, he didn't see You Er stunned, so he shouted: "Where is You Er stunned? You Er was stunned—"

There was no echo from You Er's stunned.

Princess Jingyin also heard the sound of the river, she got up and held on to the railing to look at the water, trying to figure out the reason for the sound of the water, and asked, "Did the thing fall into the river, or did the person fall?" ”|

Wu Guanliang, who was behind her, said: "It must be people." He suddenly lifted the princess over the railing, and cried out, "A pound of water, jump—"

Princess Jingyin was so frightened that she had to shout loudly: "Someone...... Save ......" did not finish a complete sentence, and fell into the river with Wu Guanliang.

Xiao Bufeng, who was inspecting the post, hurried to the stage of the building boat, and heard that Princess Jingyin had jumped into the river, unbelievable, and after the people present said it, they felt that things were complicated.

Zhong Yitong heard that the princess had fallen into the river, so without saying a word, he jumped into the river.

Xiao Bu was very calm at this time, he ordered the boat to stop, and then sent people to patrol along the river, and if he saw a boat, he ordered them to participate in the search on the river and save people together.

At dawn, more than 10 ships were involved in the search, and there were more than 100 soldiers on the Xiaobulou boat, and more than 30 soldiers did not know their whereabouts.

Zhong Yitong, who took the lead in jumping down the river, was even more silent.

This is a great test for Xiaobu, especially the disappearance of Princess Jingyin, which made all the officers and soldiers have nothing to do, and the building ship is advancing or retreating, causing controversy.

Xiao Bu decided to dock the boat for a day and make every effort to find the people who fell into the river and went missing to save people.

Near noon, Zhong Yitong was sent back to Lou Boat by a small boat, and he was exhausted after nearly ten hours of soaking in the water.

Xiao Bu saw that some soldiers were asking Zhong Yitong this and that, so he pushed them away and said, "Go and get some food, preferably gruel, or something softer." ”
