Before the square-faced man and the man in yellow came back, I was in a good mood. Forget today's events, forget it, there's nothing to be sorry about, it's a great blessing to be able to pick up a life from the robbers.

But in the end, it was completely unexpected.

When it was getting dark, the two people who had left returned to the ship. Kuroko reported all the things I had deceived them, and finally repeated many of the words I had persuaded him.

The man in yellow was a little flustered, holding his sword and walking around on the board. The square-faced man patted his thighs and laughed: "I didn't expect that my Qi Yong would live to this age, and I would be played around by a yellow-haired girl." Beautiful, courageous and strategic, Kuroko, if you still want this life, give her to me. When the time comes, I will go back and give it to my wife, maybe there will be no punishment, and there will be a reward! ”

Catch me back? Where to go?

"Okay!" From the beginning to the present, Kuroko's face has been tense, and now when he heard the big man say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his face to look at me with a smile and said apologetically: "Girl, you are too slippery, I am afraid that I will not be able to look at you, and when my life is at stake, I can only be sorry!" He lifted the hilt of his sword and slammed it on the back of my neck.

My eyes were black, and I fainted before I could curse.

In the next three days, I woke up and was knocked unconscious, smashed and woke up again, and the days were miserable.

On this day, Kuroko suddenly found out about his conscience and decided to let me go. Instead of stuning me as usual, he graciously brought me food, water, and a heavy burlap jacket.

"Girl, do you want to know where we're going now?" Kuroko sat on the board of the boat and asked softly as he looked at the wider and wider river.

I swallowed a mouthful of rice and replied angrily, "No, don't say it." ”

Kuroko gasped, raised his fist and shouted at me viciously: "If you want to say it, you will listen to me obediently!" We will go east, and in five days we will be able to reach Fenglingdu. When you get there, you'll have someone who can clean you up! ”

"What's the use of you arresting me, wasting a ration for nothing. Even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will still flee back to Qin at the first opportunity. ”

"Uncle said, after you get to Tianshu, you won't want to come back. You will stay with us in Tianshu. ”

"I don't care what you have written from heaven or earth, if you don't let me go, someone will naturally come to me!"

Kuroko glanced at me, got up and stood at the bow of the boat, and said coldly: "On the night three days ago, the uncle asked people to find the newly dead female corpse, put on the single clothes that you had changed into before, carried your dagger, and threw it in the reeds on the bank of Weishui. ”

"Hmph, they'll be able to recognize that it's not me!"

"The headless body has been soaked in water for a few days, even your own mother may not be able to recognize it!"

Listening to Kuroko's words, I choked all of a sudden, could it be that the general, Si'er, and Wuxian would think that I was dead? They'll take that soaked corpse for me!

"Let me go back!" I shouted at Kuroko in a hoarse voice, and with my right hand I flipped a bowl of rice soup and smashed it all on his clothes.

"You're a dead girl!" Kuroko rushed over, grabbed me by the collar and lifted me up, "What kind of temper are you playing, do you think this is still your general's mansion!" ”

"General's Mansion......" My nose was sore, and my eyes were suddenly blurred, since Wu Feng sent me to Baili Mansion, everything has changed and become unrecognizable.

"What are you crying about? Hey, you...... Don't cry! Seeing that I was crying a lot, Kuroko hurriedly put me down, carefully patted my collar and muttered, "Hey, sir, I hate people crying the most, and if you cry again, I'll throw you into the river." ”

I looked up at Kuroko with teary eyes, but I was thinking in my heart, how sad Si'er should be when she saw "my" corpse, wearing a single dress, headless, and soaked in water, how could she stand this ugly death.

The more I thought about it, the more sad I felt, and I couldn't stop crying.

"Damn, sir, I'm going to cry! The first time I went on a mission, I ran into a ghost girl like you, no wonder Mingyi said that I was defeated this time. By the way, I received this job, and I messed up the matter, my uncle just came with me, don't talk nonsense when you see Mrs. ”

"you damn lady!" I shoved him away and headed back to the cabin.

I cried on and off for a whole day, sobbing and choking, and it was only at sunset that I finally calmed down.

The Tianshu mentioned in Kuroko's mouth is likely to be the black hand hidden behind all the events. Since I can't escape now, I might as well push the boat down the river to the tiger's den and take a look at who that beast-faced man really is, and how many details they have planted in the Qin State that we don't know.

I sat on the bulkhead, listening to the sound of oars outside, and couldn't help but sigh, why does fate always like to work against me? I obviously wanted to go northwest, but I took the boat all the way to the east, getting farther and farther away from Wufeng.

In the past few days, except for the boatman, there are only two people left on the ship, Kuroko and me. Qi Yong and another man named Spear had already left by land three nights earlier. They made an appointment with Kuroko, and five days later they met at a tavern in Fenglingdu.

Speaking of which, Kuroko is not annoying except for his temper. He likes to talk and brag with me, and he says that he is fifteen years old, a native of Cao Guo, and if his sister hadn't died, he would be as old as me. He said that he had already seen that I was not a red pill from Barry's that day, but he couldn't help but say nothing. He also said that he was excellent at swordsmanship, and that it was a pure accident that I had been stoned to the head before. I just listened, occasionally saying a few provocative words to gag him.

Five days later, we arrived at Fenglingdu as promised.

Fenglingdu, legend has it that it is the place where the Yellow Emperor borrowed a guide car to defeat Chiyou. It is connected to many waterways such as Weishui, Fenshui, Luoshui, Jingshui, etc., and is an important waterway hub between the Qin State and the Central Plains countries.

Sitting in a tavern on the bank of the river, looking at the endless stream of pedestrians on the streets and busy merchants carrying goods at the ferry, I suddenly felt a little emotional.

It is said that born in troubled times, life is like an ant, life is dying day and night, and there is no hope in a lifetime.

But the group of businessmen in front of me, they did not give up easily because of their humble backgrounds and the hardships of the world. They were dressed in sackcloth and straw, carrying goods on their backs, and measuring every inch of land from north to south and from east to west with their own feet. They are running around for life, but their smiles are like new green shoots in spring, full of vitality.

"It's so lively here." I smiled at my frozen hands.

"Hey, you're ridiculous, crying all day long, ugly." Kuroko took a big sip of wine and laughed with a mouthful.

I gave him a blank look, rubbed my swollen neck for half a month, and snorted coldly: "Laugh! I'm about to be stoned to death by you, and I'm still laughing! You'd better not let me find a chance in the future, or I'll see what I'll do to you! ”

"What do you hit me? Stone? Carriage? Or did you lift the house and smash me? Damn, look at your careful eyes, I haven't been heavy in the past few days, sir! He put his hand on my neck and said triumphantly, "If I had used the force of my sword, your little neck with fine skin and tender flesh would not have snapped - broken!" ”

"You wait for me!" I turned away from him, "We've been waiting for two hours, why hasn't your uncle come yet?" Where are we going when he arrives? ”

"Don't ask, we'll find out later." Kuroko was not in a hurry at all, and drank by himself.
