Chapter 5: First Meeting
Ye Lanqiao only felt that she had fallen into a warm embrace, and a whispered admonition sounded above her head, her body stiffened, and she quickly stood up and took a step back:
"Thank you, Brother Joe." Ye Lanqiao only felt that his cheeks were hot, and his heartbeat was much faster.
"Boatman, what's wrong? How could it be so turbulent? Qiao Yufei knew the embarrassment of Ye Lanqiao's girl's family, so he just smiled and didn't say anything, he looked up and called the boatman over and asked.
The boatman was an old man in his fifties, and he was also puzzled: "What about Miss Hui Gongzi?" The old man thought that maybe the oars had touched the stones at the bottom of the water just now, so he shocked the young ladies and sisters, and I hope to forgive me. ”
"Well, remember to be careful." Qiao Yufei saw that the ship was shaking, so he didn't say anything more.
"Girl! Look at the shore, it looks like someone is waving to us again! At this time, Huixiang saw a team of people in armor waving at this side on the shore, and hurriedly reminded him.
Ye Lanqiao turned to look at the shore, there was indeed a group of people waving at this side, Ye Lanqiao looked at Qiao Yufei in confusion, and found that Qiao Yufei was also confused.
"It looks like it's someone from the city defense camp, girl, why are the people from the city defense camp waving at us?"
"Leave them alone, it's not a big deal." Qiao Yufei looked indifferent and opened his mouth to comfort.
Ye Lanqiao didn't think so, maybe because of his previous career, Ye Lanqiao always paid extra attention to the generals and soldiers here.
"It's better to send someone to ask, don't really have anything, it's not good to delay."
"Just listen to Sister Lan, Xia Zheng, you go over and take a look." Qiao Yufei saw that Ye Lan Qiao said so, so it was not easy to excuse himself, so he sent Xia Zheng over.
After a while, Xia Zheng came back and reported: "Childe, there are people from the city defense camp on the shore, they said that they want us to park the boat on the shore, and they want to search the boat."
"Good end, what kind of ship are you searching for?" Qiao Yufei's tone was a rare impatience, originally he planned to take advantage of this opportunity this time to enhance his relationship with Ye Lan Qiao, if he let the city defense battalion come over and ruin the fun, wouldn't his arrangements be in vain?
"This ...... The small ones are not clear either. Xia Zheng replied stubbornly, but Qiao Yufei was unwilling to delay a moment longer, so he asked Xia Zheng to go back and reply, and ordered the boatman to continue sailing.
Ye Lanqiao didn't say much on the side, she just looked at the figures holding torches on the shore, and when Xia Zheng went over to reply, a person in armor in the middle took a few steps forward, stepped on a stone on the shore, hesitated, and then ordered someone to put a few small boats on the shore into the water and sail straight towards the pleasure boat.
Before the people on the boat could react, the boats full of soldiers from the city defense battalion surrounded the boat, and with the sound of wood crashing, several soldiers on the boat climbed onto the boat.
"The city defense battalion was ordered to investigate the case, and I didn't want to disturb it, please forgive me." A cold and loud voice sounded behind him, Ye Lanqiao turned around and followed the prestige.
I saw a man walking towards him with a length of eight feet, wearing silver armor all over his body, and each piece of armor reflected the fiery red lanterns on the shore, like a flame wrapped around the man's body. With a round of clear moon on his head, he stepped on a pair of cold boots, and walked towards Ye Lanqiao step by step.
"It turned out to be the Erlang of the Chu family, I haven't seen you for a long time, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Brother Feiye, you are still on an errand." After Qiao Yufei saw who was coming, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said.
This is Chu Feiye? Ye Lanqiao carefully looked at the man in front of him, not hiding the curiosity in his eyes at all.
Although she doesn't go out often, she has more or less heard of this Chu Feiye. The first emperor once gave the Chu family the title of Chang Yuan, and Chu Feiye was the second generation, but Chu Feiye was the son of the deceased Chang Yuanhou's concubine, as a concubine, the title had nothing to do with him, and now Chang Yuanhou is the son of the old marquis's wife, the Lin family, Chu Feihong.
I heard that Chu Feihong, the new marquis, is gentle and humble, but his younger brother Chu Feiye is a thorn in Kyoto City. Ye Lanqiao has often listened to the old mothers and little maids in the family talk about absurd things in Kyoto City from time to time since he was just sensible, and most of the protagonists are Chu Feiye.
Ye Lanqiao kept looking Chu Feiye up and down, this righteous appearance was not like the prodigal son of the disciple in other people's mouths.
"Mr. Qiao is polite." Chu Feiye returned the salute with his fists, and no emotion could be heard in his tone: "There are many people on the street today, and the suspect we have been staring at has mixed into the crowd, and the city defense battalion needs to search."
Qiao Yufei was kind on the surface, but the disdain in his eyes was not concealed at all: "Chu Erlang, you have official business, we won't bother, but there are female dependents on this boat, plus the moon is clear, the suspect will not hide on our cruise ship no matter what."
Chu Feiye frowned quietly: "The people in front of us won't be dazzled. ”
Ye Lanqiao stood between the two, even if he didn't know the past between the two, he could feel the smell of saber rattling.
In line with the idea of sympathizing with each other in the same profession, Ye Lanqiao spoke: "Then it will trouble Young Master Chu." ”
"Sister Lan......" Qiao Yu looked at Ye Lanqiao incredulously, but he didn't know what to say.
Chu Feiye's eyes moved, and then he raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to start searching the boat.
"Back to the battalion commander, no one." It didn't take long for one of Chu Feiye's subordinates to come over and whisper in Chu Feiye's ear.
Chu Feiye's face suddenly changed: "No one? Are you sure? ”
"Yes." Although the subordinates are also incredible, they have been staring at it all night, and so many pairs of eyes have seen the thief on the cruise ship, why is it as if it has evaporated out of thin air.
Seeing this, Qiao Yufei sneered: "Camp Commander Chu, are you satisfied now?" ”
"Excuse me." Chu Feiye didn't even look at Qiao Yufei, he just hugged his fist at Ye Lanqiao, turned around and led people away.
If it was clean and neat when he boarded the boat, without dragging mud and water at all, Ye Lanqiao hadn't reacted yet, and the people from the city defense battalion had already jumped on the boat one after another and left without looking back.
"Sister Lan, you're not frightened, are you? This group of soldiers is like this, they are usually rude, if you are scared, go back to the cabin and rest. ”
Qiao Yufei saw Ye Lanqiao staring at Chu Feiye's back, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he stepped forward and spoke.
"Okay." Ye Lanqiao came back to his senses, nodded, and before entering the cabin again, Ye Lanqiao couldn't help but glance at the shore again, and this glance happened to meet the beam of gaze cast by Chu Feiye.
Ye Lanqiao's breath was stagnant, his eyes were like stars, and his eyes were like ice, like a wild wolf lurking in the depths of the night, staring at his prey quietly.
Seeing Ye Lanqiao looking at him, Chu Feiye's eyes narrowed, and he nodded slightly.
Ye Lanqiao, who entered the cabin, had no interest in appreciating the lanterns, just sat by the desk in a daze and didn't say a word.
"Sister Lan, but those people scared you just now?" Qiao Yufei saw that Ye Lan Qiao was not very interested, and opened his mouth to say tentatively.
"No, I think it's because I got up early today, so I'm a little sleepy now." Ye Lanqiao smiled at Qiao Yufei, who was full of concern, and replied.
"Fifth sister, next door is the box, if my sister is sleepy, it's good to go in and rest for a while." Ye Ruqiao couldn't wait for Ye Lanqiao to leave, giving herself and Qiao Yufei a chance to be alone.
"It's fine." Ye Lanqiao could see Ye Ruqiao's thoughts at a glance, but she also understood that Ye Ruqiao's thoughts were not a day or two, and there would be no results.
At this time, Ye Lanqiao also wanted to stay alone for a while, so he got up, politely refused Qiao Yufei's retention, and walked towards the next box with Huixiang.
"Brother Qiao, the fifth sister is like this, don't ...... it"
Ye Ruqiao saw that the opportunity had come, and just wanted to come to Qiao Yufei's side to talk, but was interrupted by a scream from Huixiang outside.
"Girl!"
Qiao Yufei in the cabin frowned and quickly walked outside.
Outside the cabin, Ye Lanqiao was tightly grasped by a masked man with his hands behind his back, and a dagger with a cold light was still on his neck.
Ye Lanqiao's face stinks to the extreme, his grandmother's, he was kidnapped?
I thought that the turmoil in the hull of the ship just now was caused by this person, but when Chu Feiye searched the ship, why didn't he find anyone?
"Who are you? Let go of my girl! Huixiang jumped to her feet in a hurry, and when she came out, she was pushed aside by a brute force, and when she reacted, her girl had been held hostage.
"What a guts! Do you know who you're holding hostage? Don't let me go! Qiao Yufei saw that Ye Lan Qiao was in danger, so he held back the panic in his heart and reprimanded loudly.
"Hehe, even if I didn't know just now, I held it under the boat for so long, and I listened to it. It just so happens that there is such a noble rich daughter in my hands, so I have to run for my life, right? ”
The person behind him laughed a few times, and then spoke.
Ye Lanqiao only hated that she had a whole set of military body fist moves in her head, even though the fighting spirit in her heart was burning, but this body was weak and weak, making her unable to move.
"You let her go, whatever it is, I'll give it to you." Qiao Yufei noticed that Ye Lanqiao's face was pale, and his heart was even more anxious, if something happened to Ye Lanqiao today, then General Ye would definitely not give up, and he would not be much better at that time.
"I don't want anything! Lao Tzu only needs to live! There was a roar behind him, and Ye Lanqiao felt the dagger around his neck tighten, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. Just when Ye Lanqiao was about to break the cauldron and let it go, the person behind him suddenly convulsed. Immediately afterwards, Ye Lanqiao felt that the shackles on his body disappeared immediately, and a warm palm was put on his waist, and then the sky spun around, and the whole person was attached to a cold and hard armor.
