In the nearly two months that Daiyu and Jia Lian and their entourage went to Yangzhou by boat, many big and small things happened in Rongguo Mansion, such as: Qin Keqing died suddenly after being seriously ill, and then held a grand funeral ceremony? Then there is Wang Xifeng to assist Guan Ning, Rong Erfu and Yuan Chuncai to choose Fengzao Palace, and it is rumored that they will return to Rongguo Mansion to return to the province and so on.

However, no matter what happened in Ning Rong's second mansion or outside, it would definitely not affect the 'flood harvest', and only play and have fun among the warblers and swallows of her sisters!

This is not?

Early this morning, Jia Baoyu, who was idle, went to the boudoir of Baochai in Lixiangyuan again, and went directly to Baochai's side without being ashamed at all, and kept shaking his nose, and he didn't know what he was sniffing.

“？？”

"Baoyu, what are you doing here?"

Baochai, who originally felt that it was a bit inappropriate to let the other party enter his boudoir casually, couldn't help but move his position a little after seeing the other party's intimate movements.

After all, she is three or two years older than Baoyu, so she naturally knows some defenses between men and women, and she herself is not like those sisters who grew up in Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, so she doesn't dare to be stubborn with such a man as the other party casually.

“……”

"Sister Bao, you are really chic, what kind of rare fat powder balm do you have on your body?"

Smelling the cold body fragrance emanating from the other party's body, looking at the rich skin on the other party's neck, the snow-white crisp arms exposed at the cuffs of the gauze shirt, looking at the other party's silver basin-like face, apricot-like eyes, red lips without dotting, and green willow eyebrows without painting, I felt that the other party had another kind of charming and dry treasure jade than Sister Lin with a hint of softness in her heroic spirit, and I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Usually, when Sister Lin was there, he, Jia Baoyu, naturally only thought about getting to Sister Lin all day long to be stubborn and attract the attention of the other party! Now, when his sister went to Yangzhou for nearly two months, when he had to come to Sister Bao to pass the time, he found that Sister Bao still had the charm of Sister Lin who was not inferior to him at all, and she was also a beauty like a fairy?

"Phew!"

"What kind of fat powder balm, I would never use those things!"

"Maybe it's because of the 'cold incense pill' I took......

After quietly moving back a little bit again, Baochai explained.

Not long after she came to Rongguo Mansion with her mother and brother, she is still a little unaccustomed to being too close to Baoyu, the only man who grew up in the backyard, after all, the other party's age is a person who can marry and have children in an ordinary family!

"What is a cold incense pill, and it's so magical?"

"Quick!"

"Sister Bao, come and try a pill with me?"

Jia Baoyu, who was not ashamed or impatient and didn't intend to have any face, continued to lean forward, and after continuing to get close to the other party's side, he grabbed the other party's warm and greasy arm and pleaded urgently in a low voice.

"You let go! What kind of system does it become? ”

"Baoyu, you may not know that the 'cold incense pill' is a medicine, where can I eat the pill with you?"

The materials and production conditions of the cold incense pills were extremely harsh, and what her family could match at that time was just the word 'coincidental', and she didn't have many pills in total. The rest is now buried under the pear blossom tree outside their pear incense courtyard, and only when she is sick will she dig it out and eat one, how could she dig it out and take a pill with him in order to taste it for the other party?

Besides, she doesn't know what the consequences of different people taking that medicine are, in case this old lady's heart and liver baby eats a good meal, she can't afford it!

"Sister Bao eats it, why can't I eat it?!"

Since you can exude that cold and weird aroma all over your body when you eat it, Baoyu will definitely not let go of that kind of good thing! Because he felt that that rare thing was probably much better than eating the rouge on the lips of those sisters and sisters at home.

"Alright, Baoyu!"

"You better think about your sister Lin! Calculating the time, it has been almost two months since she went back to her home in Yangzhou, and she must be back soon, right? ”

Baochai, who didn't intend to entangle with the other party on unrelated matters like 'Leng Xiangwan', quickly began to change the topic and turn the matter to Sister Lin, who was more interested in the other party.

"Sister Lin, you said?"

"She didn't come back that soon! However, a while ago, Zilian's second sister-in-law said that they had just sent their uncle Lin Ruhai's coffin back to Suzhou, and they should have set off for it back now, but Suzhou is far away from our Jinling, and it is against the current, even if it is day and night, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back without ten days and half a month? ”

Sure enough, after hearing Sister Bao talk about Sister Lin, Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and soon stopped worrying about the 'cold incense pill' he just said, and instead sighed a little depressedly.

His uncle Lin Ruhai died, I'm afraid Sister Lin will be very sad, right? It's a pity that he can't stay by Sister Lin's side and comfort the other party, and he doesn't have the opportunity to see the other party's unbearable and pitiful sobbing appearance.

"......"

"I just hope something doesn't happen to them!"

"I heard my brother say it a few days ago, and I heard that there was a big case in Yangzhou City today: many officials and gentry and powerful people, including the Beijing King Shui Rong who went to Yangzhou at that time, they were all killed overnight, and it is said that all of them were sealed with a sword and the kind that is not bad at all?"

"The government has not found the bandit who committed that kind of shocking crime so far, Sister Lin, it's better that they don't meet that kind of thief!"

Baochai said with some fear, she couldn't imagine that there would be such a vicious strongman in this world, who could kill and injure so many people overnight, and most of them were gentry and magnates, and even included an incomparably noble prince?

It is said that after this case shook Jinling, it has spread all over the world, but His Majesty the Emperor in the palace has passed on his will, and there is a time limit to solve the case, and there must be no mistakes!

"What?"

"King Beijing, he died?!"

Baoyu didn't know about Yangzhou's affairs, and he wasn't interested in asking about those miscellaneous things, so as soon as he heard the news, he was so shocked that he stood up directly, and at the same time stared at his eyes, and instantly threw all the 'Leng Xiang Pill' or Sister Lin just now into the country of Guawa.

Right now, he is full of thoughts of the original one who set up a colorful shed on the side of the road, set up a banquet, played music with music, mourned Qin Keqing, and specially invited him Jia Baoyu to meet, and they both had sympathy for each other, and also gave him a string of chic princes with a string of royal wagtail rosaries.

To be honest, he didn't dare to imagine that such a good person who was good at talking and not bound by the official and secular state was really dead, and he was assassinated by a strongman? What kind of strongman is he who is so vicious that he can do something to such a person?!

"Baoyu! Baoyu?! ”

Seeing that the other party was stupid, it seemed that he had committed some kind of stupidity again, and Baochai, who was a little worried in his heart, couldn't help but reach out and pull the other party.

"Baoyu, are you alright?"

"Hey!"

"Don't scare me!!"

If the other party is sick here in her Xue Baochai, then she will have to eat some hanging and white eyes, so she can't help but start to stand up anxiously, and keep pulling the other party's cuffs, and keep waving her hands in front of the other party's eyes, trying to wake up the other party.

however

didn't wait for her to wake up the other party, but she saw at this time that her maid Ying'er didn't know what was frightened, and she was so shocked that she rushed in without knocking on the door?

'Miss! Miss! ’

'Something is wrong!' This time it's really a big deal!! ’

Ying'er, who rushed in, didn't care about a stupid second master Bao on the side, she just glanced at the other party, and then cried loudly at her own girl Xue Baochai with the kind of crying tone that was almost about to cry immediately.

"Ying'er?"

"Don't worry, tell me quickly, what's going on, is my brother in trouble again?"

In Baochai's opinion, she couldn't think of why she could let her maid Ying'er run back to report the news so anxiously and embarrassed, except for her brother who had been making trouble all day long.

If that's the case, then she should hurry to the main landlord's yard of her aunt's house and call her mother back to discuss countermeasures.

"It's not Young Master Pan!"

"It's Miss Lin! It's Lin Daiyu who has a big accident!! ”

If it's really Xue Pan, Young Master Xue went out to make trouble, then it's okay.

Because in that case, Ying'er would definitely not be so anxious, in her opinion, although their family's Xue Pan Xue Gongzi is unlearned and idle, but he will not make too much trouble, at most he will just kill some people to rob women, and their Xue family will always have a way to settle it.

However, now this matter, I'm afraid that it is really going to poke a big hole in the sky, and no one can settle it!!

“！！”

"Huh? Something happened to Miss Lin?! ”

Baochai was stunned, just now she just told Baoyu about that Sister Lin, why did Ying'er come to report immediately, could it be that her mouth specifically said that the good is not good, and the bad is very spiritual?

"Sister Lin?"

"Sister Lin!!"

"Sister Ying'er, tell me quickly, what's wrong with Sister Lin, what's wrong with her?!"

There is no doubt that her own sister Lin must be many times more important than the prince of Beijing who only has one side! Therefore, when he heard Ying'er's words, Jia Baoyu, who came back to his senses with a spirit, quickly forgot about the dead ghost prince who was not bound by the official and secular national system and cherished him, and instead grabbed Ying'er's arm and asked about Lin Daiyu.

"She's fine! But she's in trouble! ”

After breathing a sigh of relief, he didn't care about breaking free from Bao Erye's grasp of his arm, but said with a tiger face:

"I heard that Miss Lin killed a lot of people in Yangzhou, and now it's happened!"

"Just now, the Inner Court sent two hundred Inner Court guards and three hundred brocade soldiers to besiege our Ning and Rong Mansions!"

"So the old lady sent out a message, telling all the young ladies, daughters-in-law, and nephews in the family to go to her side, go now!!"

Ying'er almost told the story in a sad and frightened tone that was about to cry, and then, she really saw that whether it was her young lady or Bao Erye, the faces of the two became frightened at the same time, and they were also instantly frightened.

"Sister Lin and Sister Lin killed people in Yangzhou?"

"This ......"

"It can't be! It's absolutely impossible!! ”

At this moment, Jia Baoyu, who had just recovered from his stunned state, fell into that stupid state again......

However, compared to just now, his face was much more ugly, and obviously, in addition to feeling incredible in his heart, he was also frightened.

“！！”

"Quick! Ying'er, there is still an attacker, hurry up and pull him, let's go to the old lady now!! ”

Xue Baochai, whose face was also ugly and scary, finally regained a little composure, so while she subconsciously wrung the silk handkerchief in her hand, she didn't forget to hurriedly say to Ying'er and the attacker who ran in after Ying'er just now.

At this moment, Baochai knew that Jiafu and their relatives who had taken refuge in Jiafu were afraid that it was really going to be a big disaster......

————————

What happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Jinling, Lin Daiyu and Jia Lian and others who were far away on the waterway between Su and Yang must not know, so their sailboat was still swimming upstream, preparing to pass through Yangzhou, which made Daiyu suffer and left bad memories, and turned to join the river, and then rushed back to Jinling, which was more than 300 miles away.

“….…”

At this time, Lin Daiyu, who was dressed in white plain clothes and still had a white hairband wrapped around her hair, representing the meaning of filial piety, was holding her little bear and silently standing on the bow of the boat thinking about things.

Now that her father's coffin has been buried in his hometown of origin in Suzhou, and all affairs have been arranged, they are now on their way back to Jinling. From today on, she is really just a lonely person, her grandmother and aunt and uncle can only take care of her for a while, and in the future, except for the bear and the snow goose, she may no longer have any real people or things to rely on......

However, it is rare that at this time, Daiyu does not have too much hesitation in her heart?

Because of the Yangzhou incident, she has already known that she is not an ordinary person, or it can be said that she is no longer an ordinary person, she now has the ability to choose her own life, whether she chooses to continue to stay in Rongguo Mansion or go somewhere else, there is nothing that can hinder her!

And all these changes are just because she has been cultivating for less than two years, as long as she continues to work hard to practice swords and work hard to cultivate immortals, one day, she will definitely be able to be like what Xiao Xiong said, beyond this world, above the top of all beings?

What kind of scene it would be at that time, she would never dare to think about it at this time, but he was very much looking forward to it!

"Huh?!"

"That's ......"

Suddenly, on the waterway that seemed to be about to arrive in Yangzhou and was about to be diverted to the river, for some reason, Lin Daiyu found at a glance: there, for some reason, there were hundreds of brocade-clothed officers and soldiers set up cards there, and there were several small boats connected horizontally, blocking the originally not very spacious waterway, and at the same time, there were many armored sergeants on the shore who were waiting to check the passing ships?

“！！”

"Little Bear! They...... They weren't coming at us, were they?! ”

Wearing a white plain long skirt, standing at the bow of the boat in white clothes and white belts, even if she was only eleven or twelve years old, Lin Daiyu, who was slim and a little fluttering, after seeing the scene in the distance clearly, she exclaimed in fright, and quickly subconsciously asked the little bear in her arms.

Because that night, under the command and instigation of Xiao Xiong, she did some big things that she never dared to think of, and her psychological quality was still poor, and her experience was also seriously insufficient, and now she was very sensitive to the sergeants who were inspecting, so Daiyu almost didn't run directly to the cabin to hide.

“……”

(lll￢?? ￢)

What didn't you say, but probably is?

However, Tibbs is not worried! In its opinion, there are only a few hundred soldiers on the left and right, not to mention the demigod of Uncle Tibbs Bear, I'm afraid that even Lin Daiyu, the shovel officer who has only fought one battle, but kills all the enemies in one night, can easily deal with it, so it doesn't think it's too troublesome.

"Little Bear!"

"Tell me, what now?!"

I didn't think much about it when I took revenge, I just let the bear lead the way, and then I did it according to what the other party said, although I fought a few times during the period, but I didn't think much about it at all, and Daiyu, who was all swayed by resentment in her heart, was completely confused and completely finished that big thing.

However, she didn't regret it so far, she did it very secretively that night, except for Snow Goose, even Cousin Lian didn't know that she had gone out...... Therefore, she thought that that incident was in the past, and she was about to gradually forget about that incident, but who would have thought that there would be such a change now?

"What else can I do? Why don't you go to the cabin and get your sword? ”

"Ben Xiong faintly heard it, they seem to be looking for a female bandit named Lin Daiyu, who do you think they are looking for?!"

(●￣(??) ￣●)

It's really stupid to ask about such a small thing!

In Tiebs's opinion, if it were the bad little master of his family, seeing that someone dared to block the way, he would have thrown a few fireballs directly over a long time ago, and there would be so many scruples there?

"Huh?!"

"But, but! They are officers and soldiers, how can I? ”

Although Daiyu is still a little ignorant and a little unsophisticated, she also knows that openly killing an official is tantamount to rebellion, and that will lead to Ling Chi even sitting!

Fortunately, now, when the secret event she did that night was discovered, this little bear didn't hurry up to give her an idea, and dared to instigate her to resist with a sword? That kind of thing is really something she has never thought about and can't even think of!

"Are you happy to be caught by them?!"

??????????

Although he didn't know what went wrong with Lin Daiyu at that time, and how could the other party know that she did it with him, Tiebs, who didn't take those people and that kind of small things to heart in his heart, asked indifferently.

“！！”

"Nope! Not at all!! ”

Without thinking about it, Lin Daiyu almost gritted her teeth and replied immediately.

If those people were really found out because of what they did, then they didn't say it, once she was caught, then she Lin Daiyu would definitely be executed by Ling Chi! Ling Chi was going to strip naked and pull to the entrance of the vegetable market, and then cut the meat with a knife in front of countless people, how could she be happy with that kind of terrible thing?

"Then why don't you hurry back and get your sword?"

"But don't worry about it yet, maybe it's just a routine check-up, so let's ask that cousin to ask about the situation first!"

?? (ψ｀?? ′)o

But Tibbs also knew that it was just a comfort for the other party, and it itself was absolutely convinced! Because, now it seems to be clear, those guys are waiting here, and the target is their ship!

“！！”

"Snow Goose!!"

Daiyu, whose face changed and changed, seemed to have finally figured it out at this time, and she felt that she couldn't be restrained no matter what, so she left the bow of the ship as soon as possible, and ran to the cabin as fast as she could, and beckoned the maid Snow Goose who had just come out to see what was going on.

Anyway, she only knows that no matter what, she can't be caught, and if they really come to catch her, then she will fight with Snow Goose and Little Bear!!

“……”

??????????????

Tibbs didn't follow, it just crouched in the bow of the ship, waiting to see how the brocade soldiers reacted.

……

'Stop the boat! ’

'Lower the sails and get inspected!!' ’

As the sailing ship in Jiafu slowly approached, an officer in brocade took two steps forward along the plank road with a waist knife, and waved his hand to signal Jia Lian, the captain of the ship, and others, who had come to the bow, to quickly pull over to accept their interrogation and inspection.

"Everyone!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the ship of Jinling Rongguo Mansion, this is our ticket number and road guide We have a female dependent on the ship, it is better to ......"

When the boat slowly approached, I didn't know why there was a card here, but Jia Lian, who had to secretly say trouble, still smiled and jumped onto the trestle, and while taking out his relevant documents, he didn't forget to stuff a piece of silver towards the other party.

Jia Lian knows very well that the king of Hades is better than the little ghost, besides, there are not only female dependents on their big ship, but also a lot of property of the Lin family, if it is seen by these soldiers, it will always be a big trouble, yes, it is better to deal with it directly, let the other party know the difficulty and retreat, and let them go over as soon as possible after getting some wine money.

“！！”

"Rongguo Mansion? Female dependents? But took the boat of Lin Daiyu, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, who patrolled the salt royal history?! ”

However, to Jia Lian's surprise, the other party did not take the ingot of silver at the same time as the result Lu Yin and the ticket number, but asked him in surprise.

"This ......"

"Exactly! I don't know ......."

Jia Lian answered, and was about to ask, when he saw a junior colonel come over with a uncertain expression, and said to the brocade-clothed officer pointing to their boat:

'Your Excellency! ’

'Look? It's the little white bear, right!? ’

"Also, just now my subordinates saw a woman in white running into the cabin......

“！！”

"That's right, this is indeed the guide to Jinling Jiafu!"

"Brothers, get promoted and get rich today! Give it to me, take them down! When the others enter the boat, they must capture the Qin prisoner Lin Daiyu alive for Lao Tzu!! ”

"If anyone else resists, they will be killed!!

Finally, after many days of investigation here, the officer who had finally waited for the target had a 'bang' at the same time as his eyes lit up, and directly pulled out the long knife on his waist, and it was just across the neck of Jia Lian, whose smile instantly became stiff.

'Kill~! ’

'Catch a thief and make a meritorious service!!' ’

'Whoever catches Lin Daiyu will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!!' ’

'Kill, ah!! ’

At the same time, a brave brocade-clothed soldier also rushed up to the deck of the sailing ship with spears, spears or short swords in their hands.

"Oh~!"

(°?? °〃)

Get!

At this moment, Tiebs, who stood behind Jia Lian and watched the excitement, and did not run to the cabin, didn't need to think much to know: the assassination operation that it thought was seamless that day when it took Lin Daiyu to do it was indeed exposed, and the other party came at it and Lin Daiyu!

However, these guys didn't seem to know how powerful it was Uncle Tibbs Bear, and no one thought to catch it first, but just crossed it and rushed towards the cabin?

‘！！ ’

'Uhhhh ’

'You!! ’

'Wow~! ’

Boom~!

Boom~! Puff~!!

Puff~!

Soon, with a series of exclamations and screams, everyone outside only heard one miserable scream, and then the brocade-clothed sergeants who had just rushed into the cabin, and before they had time to rush to the lower or second floor cabin, they all screamed and flew out upside down, and fell directly on the deck, or fell directly into the river.

Without exception, their hands have been scratched by sharp weapons, so that they can't hold the weapons in their hands at all, except for screaming?

Immediately afterwards, two little girls who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, but who looked slim and handsome, rushed out of the cabin with short swords in their hands, and moved from side to side with the two white clothes, and with the sword light of the two short swords, soon, everyone on the shore was dazzled, and when they came back to their senses, the dozen or so soldiers on the deck of the ship had already screamed miserably, grabbed their wrists and fell on the deck.

‘！！ ’

'Quick! Shoot the arrows! Live or die!! ’

Seeing that the other party was so fierce, and lost more than 20 of his men at once, the officer who felt that it might be a little difficult to catch him alive immediately made a decision and resolutely issued a new order to the dozens of archers on the shore.

Sou~! Sou~! Sou~!

??????????

In an instant, arrows rained down, swarming towards Lin Daiyu, Snow Goose, a certain bear, and those overwhelmed boatmen and soldiers who fell to the ground wailing and moaning......

“！！”

"Snow geese! You go deal with those archers!! ”

Seeing the arrows raining down, Daiyu screamed at the snow goose at the same time, the whole person instantly turned into a white light, and while knocking countless sharp arrows away, she viciously pounced on the officer on the trestle! Because, at this time, the other party's big knife was still across the neck of her cousin Lian, who seemed to be scared stupid, and it was about to be wiped off?
