Out of Suzhou City, a large river crosses in front of you. This is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that runs through the north and south of the Great River built by the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Grand Canal has been open for thousands of years, and ships have been coming and going endlessly, becoming the main traffic artery between the north and the south.

"Guard Liu, you say, are we going by land or by water?" Lord Tian suddenly called to stop the horse, turned his head and asked Liu Qingfeng, the leader of the guards with knives beside him.

Liu Qingfeng observed the two routes in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said with his fists clenched, "My lord, according to small observations, there are a lot of weeds on the land route, which shows that there are few large groups of chariots and horses passing by in recent times, and such a big road can be almost desolate. And this waterway, ships come and go frequently, and there are many people and ears, but the journey will be much faster than the land route. In the opinion of adults......? ”

Liu Qingfeng was very witty and put the decision back in the hands of Lord Tian. Liu Qingfeng, as the leader of the Tianfu guards with knives, is one of the highest-ranking commanders outside the Jinyi Guard Palace, and of course he has this brain. Liu Qingfeng analyzed it well, it was summer at this time, and the monsoon from the sea was from south to north, so the trip back to the capital by boat from Suzhou would be greatly shortened.

"Okay, take the waterway!" Master Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Immediately, Liu Qingfeng led the guards to a ferry not far away to investigate, and after seeing that everything was normal, he walked towards a boatman with a knife in one hand and a silver ticket in the other, threw the silver ticket, and took a knife to charter a big ship. After sending the boatman away, Liu Qingfeng turned back to the main road to pick up Lord Tian's convoy.

At the ferry, the guards boarded the boat with the sedan chair, and then untied the boxes from the carriage and carried them onto the boat.

Just as the guards were moving the big box containing Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, who had just woken up from a drunken dream, found that he was not only deep in the dark box, but also smelled a bad smell, and then touched a sticky paste. I think it should be Chen Yuanyuan's vomit last night, and the box where Xiaobao was lying!

"Let me out!" Xiaobao didn't know why, so he shouted in fear, knocked and kicked, and made the box pop.

"Who?" The guards and Lord Tian were vigilant, the guards drew their knives one after another, and surrounded them, Liu Qingfeng cut the hemp rope that tied the box with a knife, carefully picked the big lock with the tip of the knife, and slowly picked up the lid of the box!

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared under the water, all of them were shirtless, and their lower bodies were dressed in cloth, not like robbers, but they shot fiercely, and immediately killed Lord Tian's team after rushing out of the water, as if they had a common hatred.

"Protect Lord Tian!" Liu Qingfeng roared, seeing that the enemy was fierce, he didn't care about revealing the mystery in the box, and led the guards back to the ship to protect Lord Tian.

The assassins in the water all held big knives in their hands and fought with the guards who were also holding big knives, although their body strength was equal to that of the upper and lower levels, but their moves were slightly inferior to the guards, even if they were robbers, they should not be deep. So he was quickly suppressed by the guards. When it seemed that he could not hold it anymore, suddenly a big man with a twine tied to his head shouted, "Push the box into the river and take it away!" ”

At this command, several Assassins rushed to the carriage and cut off all the hemp ropes that bound the boxes to the carriage.

Zhu Qing had already expected something to happen when he heard the sound of killing, and then he heard the knife slashing on the box, and heard the assassin say to take the box away. Zhu Qing felt that if he fell into the hands of the assassins, not only would he not be able to enter Beijing with Chen Yuanyuan, but his life would not be guaranteed, and the box would be thrown into the river and repaid? Thinking like this, he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and pushed hard, and forced the lid of the box open, which was really powerful at a critical moment!

"Ahh Dare to rob Miss Chen's way! Come on! Zhu Qing jumped out of the box and stood on the carriage and shouted.

The audience was stunned, where did such a fool come out?! Because judging from Zhu Qing's words and deeds, he doesn't look like a peerless master, at least not now! When everyone looked at Zhu Qing dumbfounded, Zhu Qing was also dumbfounded. Because just now he heard the sound of swords facing each other outside, and in the blink of an eye, the scene of fighting and killing has disappeared, and the scene has been controlled by the guards! A dozen bare-striped Assassins and a few hapless guards lay on the ground, their blood staining the river red.

The rest of the Assassin Assassins were under the swords of the guards. At the moment when Zhu Qing appeared, the assassins took advantage of the guards turning their attention to Zhu Qing, suddenly pushed away the big knife, jumped into the sea, and disappeared with a few bubbles.

"Chase!" Liu Qingfeng ordered the guards to prepare to jump into the river and chase down the fleeing Assassins.

"No need. Isn't there another one? Enough, Guard Liu took it back and asked it well, isn't everything clear? I don't want to be delayed by a few little thieves. Lord Tian stopped Liu Qingfeng and came to the big man with a hemp rope tied to his head to take a look, because Liu Qingfeng's knife was on his neck, so he couldn't escape from Liu Qingfeng's eyes in the chaos. At this time, the big man stared at Lord Tian viciously, eager to bite him.

Touch! Suddenly. Another box is knocked open, and Xiaobao finally comes out. He stood up and saw so many corpses lying on the ground, and exclaimed, "Ah! Then he glanced at Zhu Qing beside him, and Zhu Qing gave him a look. Xiaobao nodded tremblingly.

"Bring them here!" Liu Qingfeng ordered his subordinates. The two guards covered their noses and escorted Zhu Qing and Xiaobao onto the boat. Because Xiaobao's body still has something that Chen Yuanyuan vomited last night.

"Go down and wash before you come up!" Liu Qingfeng said to Xiaobao in disgust. Xiaobao had no choice but to nod tremblingly and go down to the river to clean, seeing the blood-stained river water, Xiaobao was so frightened that he quickly brushed it down, washed the residue and ran back quickly. Shrink beside Zhu Qing.

"Say! Who are you? What does it have to do with this gang of robbers? Liu Qingfeng asked.

Zhu Qing looked at the hemp rope man who was being held next to him, and was suddenly taken aback, but Zhu Qing didn't show this surprise, but was surprised in his heart, because he saw a "ten" tattooed on the right arm of the hemp rope man! If Zhu Qing is not mistaken, he also has a "ten" tattoo on his right arm! Is it your own people? But Zhu Qing couldn't think of any of his own people, but if he let this person stay and stay with him, Liu Qingfeng would one day find out about this tattoo. Thinking so, Zhu Qing straightened up his makeup and said, "We are actually Miss Chen's buddies, and we were originally meant to protect Miss Chen, and we didn't want to drink too much last night and be trapped in this box." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Last night we were helping Miss Chen pack up, and then the people downstairs brought wine and food, and we drank high. Xiaobao was in a hurry at this time and helped Zhu Qing a lot.

After hearing this, Liu Qingfeng whispered in the ear of Lord Tian. Lord Tian nodded, Liu Qingfeng immediately waved his hand, and a guard immediately ran into the boat and asked the matchmaker to bring Chen Yuanyuan out.

"Beauty, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you, these two boys said that they were your buddies, so you can help Guard Liu confirm it, how about it?" Tian said to Chen Yuanyuan, who was covering his hijab.

In fact, Chen Yuanyuan had already heard Zhu Qing's voice in the boat just now, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he didn't dare to come out rashly. At this time, she knew that Zhu Qing wanted to pretend to be her partner, and there must be a mystery, so she naturally knew it in her heart.

"Yes, sir." Chen Yuanyuan said softly. Under the traction of the matchmaker, he walked towards Zhu Qing.

Seeing Chen Yuanyuan walking over in his wedding dress, although he was covering his head, Zhu Qing already felt a hazy beauty rushing to his face, and he didn't feel his heart beating faster.

Chen Yuanyuan came to Zhu Qing.

"Miss." Zhu Qing subconsciously screamed.

Chen Yuanyuan gently lifted the hijab.

Wow! Bright eyes and red lips, peach face and willow eyebrows These words describe Chen Yuanyuan at this time and look pale and weak, but Zhu Qing felt that he was about to be intoxicated by this face and fainted. I don't want Chen Yuanyuan to smile slightly, this smile is even more charming, Zhu Qing feels that the blood is spurting, the nostrils are dilated, and he is about to bleed. And at this moment, only Zhu Qing saw it, it was really an exclusive benefit!

"Zhu San, why don't you two stay in Lichun Courtyard to help your mother do things, what are you doing with me?" Chen Yuanyuan said suddenly.

Zhu Qing was awakened by Chen Yuanyuan's words and calmed down. Pretended to be submissive and said, "Miss, Xiaobao and I were going to help you collect the dowry last night, but after drinking too much, it fell into your box, and you see that Xiaobao still has traces of your vomiting last night." Zhu Qing said, pulling Xiaobao over.

"Yes, miss, you don't think it's good to spit out. I have to ......," Xiaobao said, covering his nose.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at Xiaobao, although he felt strange, but he looked funny. Although Xiaobao was combed by Zhu Qing before he was about to sneak into Penglai Pavilion, it almost made Chen Yuanyuan vomit and go back to before liberation, so looking at Xiaobao, Chen Yuanyuan puffed and said, "Okay, okay." I didn't mean to, so go back quickly. ”

"Miss, we want to go to Beijing with you. You're just going to let us stay with you, right? Zhu Qing said, and gave Chen Yuanyuan a look, and the courage of this look came from Chen Yuanyuan's confession at the back door last night.

Chen Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment. Finally nodded. Cover your hijab, turn around and walk to Lord Tian's side, and say to Lord Tian delicately, "My lord, they are indeed my buddies from Lichun Courtyard, and they want to go to the capital with me to open their eyes, I wonder if you can take a ride along the way?" ”

"Since it's a beautiful man's buddy, it's a beauty." Tian said.

When Zhu Qing and Xiaobao saw that they were allowed, they immediately cheered and jumped up excitedly on the boat. Zhu Qing looked at the hemp rope man beside him while jumping, and suddenly kicked over and scolded bitterly, "You guy, dare to beat my young lady!" Go to hell! ”

The hemp rope man was kicked by this sudden kick, and in a hurry, he pulled Zhu Qing by the hand, not wanting to pull down the sleeve of Zhu Qing's right arm, and then fell into the river with a thud.

Liu Qingfeng immediately jumped into the river to chase him, but unexpectedly, after the big man made a fuss on the river, he disappeared alive in front of Liu Qingfeng. Liu Qingfeng had no choice but to return to the boat and glared at Zhu Qing viciously! "Hmph."

"I'm sorry adults, the little one just wants to vent his evil anger for the young lady, and he doesn't want to ......," Zhu Qing said to Liu Qingfeng tremblingly with his left hand holding his right hand that had been torn off his sleeve.

"Give them two clean clothes! Show me! Liu Qingfeng suddenly interrupted Zhu Qing's words and ordered his subordinates.

"Guard Liu, this robber ran away, he is far away in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but I am in the capital, how big a wave can he turn, don't delay the trip, let's go quickly." Lord Tian said impatiently.

"Yes, sir." Liu Qingfeng clenched his fists and said to Lord Tian, and then shouted, "Let's go!" ”

The ship was finally launched.

"Let's go! Let me in! The guards pushed Zhu Qing and Xiaobao into the cabin.

A gust of wind blew and blew the ship north, at dusk. At sunset, a head surfaced after the sailboat was gone, brushed the water on his face, and muttered, "How can he have the word 'ten'?" ”
