readx;
There was no word all the way, a big boat broke through the waves, and the small boat was tightly guarded on both sides, it was Lin Feng and his party who returned from North Korea, because of Li Fangguo's body, the marriage contract was canceled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The water journey is full of hardships, Lin Feng and these people can bear it, Princess Yan is happy to leave North Korea, and she can't wait to return to Daming at once, after walking on the water for so many days, Princess Yan's body gradually began to feel uncomfortable.
The food on board was limited, and the whole person lost a lot of weight.
"Lord Lin, how long will it take to get to the shore?" The close-fitting girl couldn't help but come over and ask.
At this time, it was close to the border of Daming, and he could see the shore from a distance, Lin Feng wanted to take a boat to the dock where he traveled that day, which was the closest, and he could also find a suitable carriage from the government office or the market, and the next journey could also be easier.
"Two days at most."
The close-fitting maid shook her head, "My lord, let's go and have a look, if I go for two more days, the princess's body will not be able to survive." ”
Lin Feng turned to go in, Princess Yan was lying there, her face was a little ugly, and there was a wooden plate on the table in the cabin, which contained cut dried meat and dry food, and there was almost no trace of moving.
The vegetables on the ship were already in short supply, and they had been eaten two days ago, so even Princess Yan had to eat dried meat and dry food.
"Princess, why don't you eat a little?"
Princess Yan opened her eyes and glanced at Lin Feng, "I really can't eat it, Lord Lin doesn't have to worry about me, I just want to go back as soon as possible, the sooner the better." ”
"Don't worry, princess, it's already here."
"Really?"
Princess Yan suddenly came to her senses, Lin Feng nodded, "The princess can look out, and she can already see the land of Daming." Princess Yan got up and leaned on the edge of the cabin to look out, "It's real, it's a familiar feeling, this feeling is so good." Princess Yan had a rare smile on her face, and her expression was tired.
Lin Feng turned around and went out from the cabin, Fang Xiaoru stood at the bow of the boat, "Lord Lin, how is the situation on the princess's side?" ”
"It's best to go ashore first and find a place to repair for a few days, otherwise, I'm really worried that the princess's body won't be able to survive."
Fang Xiaoru nodded, "That's fine, Lord Lin arranged it." ”
"Tell the boatman to dock closest to the village."
"Yes."
The big boat changed direction and sailed quickly to the shore, and when it was nearly dusk, I vaguely saw a village on the top of the water's edge, neat houses, and the scale of the village was not small.
The big boat stopped, everyone jumped off from it, Lin Feng and Fang Xiaoru lined up on both sides, with the support of the personal maid, Princess Yan walked out of it, and the moment she stepped down from the boat, stepping on the sand under her feet, Princess Yan couldn't help but have a sour nose, "I'm back, I'm finally back." ”
At this time, this scene is moving, no matter where you go, Da Ming will always be the eternal soul in everyone's hearts.
"Princess, go to the village to rest first, and then look for the carriage tomorrow."
It is relatively remote, many of them are villages that make a living from fishing, and of course some make a living from farming or operation, and the people in this area live relatively well, and for the whole of the Ming Dynasty, the southern waters are the economic lifeline.
"Wait."
Everyone approached the village, Lin Feng couldn't help frowning, quiet, unusually quiet, it was almost dusk at this time, it should have been the time for the people to cook and eat, tired after a day, the family sat together, talking and laughing.
"Lord Lin, what's wrong?"
"Lord Fang, there is something strange about this village."
"Oh?" Fang Xiaoru looked from a distance, the houses in the village were very neat, some fishing boats were docked at the water's edge, and there were still some fish in front of the village that had not yet been dried.
Fang Xiaoru frowned, and didn't see anything wrong, "Lord Lin, this is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty, is it too cautious?" ”
Lin Feng shook his head and pointed with his hand, "Lord Fang, please see, this time should be the time when the villagers are cooking on the fire, there should be a large amount of smoke in the chimney, even if the fire is extinguished, there will still be green smoke coming out of it." ”
Fang Xiaoru looked upward, it was indeed strange, there was hardly any green smoke floating out of the entire village, and the whole village was even quieter and frightening, those housekeepers' dogs, or animals such as chickens and ducks that were often seen, seemed to have disappeared all at once.
"Do you want to change villages?"
"No, protect the princess left and right, go in and have a look."
"Yes."
Lin Feng gave an order, the originally loose camp quickly formed a formation, the brocade guards protected left and right, and everyone slowly approached, the closer they got to the village, the more strange they felt, and the whole village was as if it was empty.
Definitely not, the nets on the boat haven't dried yet, and the fish that were hanging should have been brought back not long ago, through these details, Lin Feng has been sure that there are people here, but why are they hiding, is it to treat Lin Feng's boats as water thieves or other people with a purpose.
Came to a larger courtyard and stopped, Lin Feng stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door, and suddenly the courtyard gate fell to the side, and at the moment when Lin Feng bent over to help, he suddenly smashed a flat shoulder around his head and face.
The incident happened suddenly, with a snap, the flat arm hit the shoulder firmly, and the roar of the brocade guard came from behind him.
"Don't move."
Lin Feng waved his hand, at that moment, the embroidered spring knives of the first few brocade guards had been pulled out, and the force that hit Lin Feng's body was limited, and an old mother with white hair rushed out of the weeds next to the yard, almost with her eyes closed, her hands tightly clenched the flat pole, and she cursed in her mouth: "Kill you beasts who kill people without blinking, brutes!" ”
Her heart was full of hatred, otherwise why would a white-haired old man do such a thing with a flat pole, Lin Feng did not dodge, when the flat pole came, he had already realized that if he dodged, he would probably hurt the princess Yan behind him, not to mention, there was no murderous aura at all.
"Old man, we're not bad people!" The old man opened his eyes and looked at the people in front of him, and behind a handsome man stood a very beautiful girl, all dressed luxuriously, could it be that he had hit the wrong person, and the flat pole in the old man's hand was thrown to the ground with a bang.
Lin Feng said: "Old man, can you tell us what happened here?" ”
The old man looked at Lin Feng, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes, it was a ruthless accusation in his heart, when he was in danger, he called the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, and he could only watch the wicked go unpunished, hating only hating that he had no ability to kill the wicked to avenge the death of his relatives.
Princess Yan stepped forward, "Old man, tell us, no matter what happens, we will help you make the decision!" ”
"Really?" The old man's face showed joy, and his eyes fell on the princess Yan's back, and there were many strong men standing, each holding a scimitar in his hand, but unlike those people's hands, they can only kill.
"Erzhu, your revenge can be avenged, I'll go and call the villagers out." The old man ran back, and then Lin Feng noticed that the courtyard was very messy, many things were overturned on the ground, and firewood and grass were all over the ground, which was completely inconsistent with the level and cleanliness of the village.
"Come out, they're here to help us." Hearing the shouts of the old man from afar, over and over again, someone finally appeared, some pushed the door out of the house, some hid in the firewood and grass, some old and some young, looking at Lin Feng who appeared in the big courtyard, all of them still had a look of horror on their faces.
"Pillar Niang, are they really okay?"
An old man grabbed the old man and asked, his eyes fell on Lin Feng and those people, especially when he saw the weapons in the hands of those people behind him, his eyes were full of doubts.
"It's fine."
"Could it be that those people tricked me out of this way?"
"No, they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, not those people, don't worry."
The old man walked in front, and the people behind him followed, Lin Feng turned around and signaled, Jinyi Wei surrounded Princess Yan in the middle, and he must not take it lightly until he figured out what happened here.
"Old man, sit." Lin Feng was very polite, and he also admired these people who had worked hard all their lives.
"Sit, sit."
Some people brought some wooden stakes, some of the older people sat on them, and the rest of the people stood behind them, and by this time it was already dark, and they looked at each other like this, and for a time no one spoke.
