Chapter 16: A Matter of Life and Death

v"You idiot! ”

Shao Jingwen slapped the leading lieutenant in the face fiercely, causing the other party's face to suddenly become red and swollen, "He has been poisoned, can he still get off the boat?" What a fucking idiot you are! ”

The lieutenant lowered his head in fright, and did not dare to say a word, but he secretly disagreed in his heart, he just carried out the order and killed all the people of the seventy-fourth ship, he was not wrong, it was the seventy-fourth, he was not convinced, but he did not dare to plead.

Shao Jingwen was furious, turned around and asked viciously, "What's going on?" What went wrong? ”

The subordinate who went to check the ship's number ran up out of breath, "General, I found out, it was this ship that was inserted into the queue, and the ship behind it was No. 74, and the people from the Inspection Department didn't care." ”

"Fuck, they're all idiots!"

Shao Jingwen gritted his teeth with hatred, he saw that all the boats had fled, and he didn't care if the silver ticket would be abandoned, so he immediately ordered, "Go into the river to chase and stop that boat!" ”

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the river and shouted: "General, look! ”

Shao Jingwen saw it, only to see an official boat appear on the river, carrying lanterns before and after, the official boat is two stories high, carved beams and painted columns, both magnificent and delicate and elegant, is slowly coming from the downstream, he is a little stunned, whose ship is this?

After a while, a soldier from the Inspection Division ran to report: "General, it's the official boat of the King of Lanling County." ”

"It turned out to be him!"

Shao Jingwen felt a headache, this Lanling County Wang Huangfu Jiang is already over seventy years old, the current official is a lieutenant, he is extremely old, and he has a high status in the court, even Uncle Shen Guo has to call him an old prince when he sees him, but he is not the prince's person, he belongs to the centrists.

"Don't provoke him, just stop the ship!"

Shao Jingwen was still not at ease, he personally boarded the ship to attack.

....... The river was already in chaos, the river in front was blocked by iron chains, more than a hundred ships were crowded together, unable to move, in fact, they did not dare to move, dozens of small boats of embroidered guards had surrounded them, a captain with a horn made of iron sheet shouted: "Capture three fugitives, two women and one man, and the whole family of the hider will be beheaded!" ”

Only then did Zhao Shipowner understand that what they were going to arrest turned out to be the three of Wujin, it turned out that Zhen Xiaoqi was instructed by them to poison him, he was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he climbed up to the third floor tremblingly, but when he entered Wujin's cabin, he was stunned, the cabin was empty, there were no people, and Wujin's two black bags were gone.

"Which of you is the shipowner, come down and be inspected!"

Zhao Chuandong was so frightened that he went limp, and it was finally their turn.

........ In fact, just when the boat was about to be inspected, Yu Hailan realized that the danger had quietly attacked them, at this time, she no longer cared about whether Wu Jin could go into the water, she picked up Wu Jin's two bags, put on a diving suit for him, she was petite, and it was extremely difficult to carry Wu Jin on her back, and it took a lot of effort to drag Wu Jin down the gangway, at the same moment when the screams of the dock sounded, she quietly grounded water from the port side of the boat, she first climbed the stern and swam into the middle of the river, then let go of the boat and dived downstream.

Although Yu Hailan is a member of the Phoenix Society, and her surname Shui is excellent, but Wu Jin is burly, and her weight is almost twice that of her, and she also feels very difficult, she lies Wu Jin on her back, gritting her teeth and slowly swimming forward.

It was also Wu Jin's life, his body was stirred by the cold river water, he slowly woke up, he found that he was lying on Yu Hailan's soft back, sneaking in the water, so he shouted in his ear, "Senior sister!" ”

When Yu Hailan heard him call herself, she couldn't help but be ecstatic in her heart, just use cold water, she hurriedly shushed and whispered, "Don't make a sound!" We have been discovered, and the embroidered guards are searching for us, all their men on shore. ”

Wu Jin saw that his two bags were still there, but Chen Ying was gone, and he was shocked, "What about Ah Ying?" ”

"She went ashore to find medicine for you, there should be no problem, how are you feeling now?"

Wu Jin felt it, only to feel that he couldn't gather a trace of strength in his body, just like the internal force in a martial arts novel was sucked dry, "Senior sister, I seem to have my whole body bones taken away, and I don't have any strength." ”

"It's okay, this is a sign of poisoning, you lie on my back and don't move, I'll take you out."

Although Wu Jin had no strength, there was no problem with his mind, he gradually sobered up, looked back, and saw that more than two hundred steps away, dozens of small boats came from all directions, surrounding more than a hundred large ships, and then looking at the two sides of the strait, there were faint figures running, and the other party had indeed laid a net of heaven and earth, at this time, he already felt that Yu Hailan could not hold on.

He looked around, and suddenly found that there was an official boat in front of him, the hull was very large, at least two thousand stones, and it was slowly coming to this side, and seeing that it was about to stop, he hurriedly said to Yu Hailan: "Senior sister, Shangguan Fang!" ”

Yu Hailan really couldn't support it, even if she didn't say it, she had to get on the official boat, she saw that the official boat was coming towards her, so the surname Suo stopped, and when the official boat slowly passed by her side, she grabbed the stern, and at this time, the official boat finally stopped.

The boat itself was a converted ship, but it was decorated with huge wooden boards on the left and right sides, and the wooden boards were painted with various patterns, which were very bright, and they were also lucky, and there were just a few fixed wooden frames between the drawing board at the stern and the boat, like a simple ladder.

Yu Hailan first climbed onto the side of the boat with Wu Jin's body, she was wearing a long skirt, dragging water was very heavy, and it was extremely difficult to get on the boat, when she turned over the boat, she was exhausted, but the matter was not over, she fished two leather bags from the water, at this moment, suddenly a voice came overhead, "Master, I heard that the embroidered guard is catching the fugitives, the night is windy, the master go into the cabin!" ”

The other voice was very old, as if it was the owner of the ship, "Lao Cai, you go and tell Zhou Xiong and them, don't go and collide with the embroidered guard." ”

"Yes! I'll go. ”

Someone came down the gangway, Yu Hailan was in a hurry, she saw a small door under the gangway, she pushed it open hard, there was a black hole inside, she didn't think twice, holding Wujin's shoulder with one hand, and grabbing the big bag with the silver ticket with the other hand, and hid in the black cabin, but Wujin still had a bag she didn't have time to take, she just reached the door with her back, and her footsteps arrived at the door.

"Huh! What is it? "The people outside the door found Wu Jin's bag.

Yu Hailan's lips were bitten white, she was defenseless at this time, her sword fell into the river when she got off the boat, but Wu Jin gently rubbed her, in the dark, his bright eyes blinked, as if to imply something to her, Yu Hailan's heart moved, and suddenly understood what Wu Jin meant, she touched Wu Jin's calf, and then touched his boots, and pulled out a cold dagger from his boots.

She slowly approached the crack in the door, opened a slit with her arm, looked out, and saw an old man in his sixties outside, facing the small door, squatting next to the leather bag, he also had a knife in his hand, which had already cut open the shark leather bag and was turning over the contents inside.

There are four things in the leather bag, an ironwood crossbow, a purple gold wine gourd, a bay leaf sutra wrapped in an oilcloth, and a small sandalwood box full of precious gems, there is a lock on the small sandalwood box, he can't open it, but he opened the oilcloth and is opening the bay leaf scripture, he suddenly shook his body, his eyes showed an incredible look, brushed the ground and looked at the small door, Yu Hailan was frightened and flashed, avoiding his gaze, originally she wanted to take advantage of the old man's engrossed attention to look at the bay leaf scripture, and killed him with a knife, But his incredible eyes made Yu Hailan hesitate in his heart.

When she looked out again, the old man was gone, and there seemed to be footsteps walking up the gangway, only to hear him cry in a low voice: "Master, come and see, I'm ..... I've seen a ghost! The old man's voice trembled, and he was very frightened.

"What's wrong?" Wu Jin only heard the footsteps going upstairs, but did not hear the old man's low shout.

"What is he shouting?"

"I didn't hear ..... clearly."

Yu Hailan felt a little strange in her heart, in fact, she heard it, the old man said that he had met a ghost, she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but judging from the old man's eyes just now, the ghost he said did not refer to the two of them, but should be the Bayeux Sutra in the bag, this old man seemed to know the things in the bag, and his incredible eyes impressed her.

Yu Hailan has an intuition unique to a female surname, she thinks that the boat will help them, but she can't say this feeling clearly, she is afraid that Wu Jin will escape into the water because of worry, "He shouldn't have found us, um!" Let me see where this is? ”

She reached out and felt around, first a wooden barrel, and then a few piles of wet towels, she suddenly understood, and laughed in a low voice: "This is the utility room where the cleaning items are stored." ”

"That's good, senior sister, are you cold?" Wu Jin felt Yu Hailan trembling.

"Hmmm! Yes.... A little. ”

Yu Hailan was wearing a long cloth skirt, and now she was soaking wet, although at the end of summer, the weather was still relatively hot, but she was still shivering with cold, and her teeth were fighting.

"Senior sister, if you come close to me, I'm hot!"

Yu Hailan leaned against Wu Jin tightly, only feeling hot all over, she was taken aback in her heart, and hurriedly touched his forehead, fortunately, his forehead was not very hot.

"What do you think of it now?"

"I feel hot, or I don't have any strength in my body, I can't even lift my hands, everything else is okay, it's normal, his grandmother's, what kind of poison is this, so domineering!"

Hearing Wu Jin like this, Yu Hailan was relieved, her head naturally rested on his shoulder, and explained to him with a low smile, "This kind of fatigue is actually just a side effect, it is not serious, it will slowly recover in one or two hours at most, it seems that the key to detoxifying you is to soak in cold water, I touched it by mistake, it seems that God takes special care of me." ”

Wu Jin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Senior Sister is originally a fairy sister, of course God wants to take care of you." ”

Yu Hailan heard that he was praising himself in disguise, his face flushed, and he reached out and knocked on his head, "It seems that it is better to let you be poisoned to death, so that you will not become flamboyant again." ”

Wu Jin suddenly said exaggeratedly: "Senior sister, your chance has come?" ”

Yu Hailan didn't understand, "What chance?" ”

"I usually offended you, but now you can double your revenge, the opportunity is rare!"

"Okay!" Yu Hailan's naughty heart rose, she turned around, put down the dagger, grabbed Wu Jin's ear with one hand, turned the other hand into a knife, and grinded back and forth on his ear, "I'll cut your pig ears first!" ”

At this moment, the gangway above their heads rang again, and the muscles of their shoulders and arms tightened at the same time, Yu Hailan pulled out the dagger, her heart was pounding, she was waiting, was it an opportunity or a bad luck?
