Chapter 46: The Assassins

When I arrived in Deyuzhou, it was night. The captain stopped the ship and brought some shore cargo and a dozen merchants.

This is extremely unruly.

But after all, it is not a dragon boat, and the boat is not the private property of the palace, it is all hired. Although the palace hired a boat is a lucrative and easy beauty, the captain and the crew of the ship have been begging for a living on the ship all year round, and they have become accustomed to carrying it with them to earn some fat and water. Employers generally turn a blind eye.

Xiao Lian is not the kind of person who is unforgiving and more serious in everything, of course, he also turns a blind eye to this, and closes one eye.

There was no moon in the sky, and the surface of the river was as black as a pool of ink. Da Meng stood on the deck, and the cold night wind blew him into a furious crown, his beard flew wildly, and his black head and black face were like a living Zhong Kui.

Yan Xiaodao came from the cabin and handed a jar of wine to Da Meng.

Da Meng took it and took a sip, and his body finally warmed up a little. Da Meng asked, "Brother, doesn't this prince take anyone with him when he goes out on weekdays?" ”

Yan Xiaodao shook his head: "I have only known the King of Nanjun for a short time. ”

Dameng: "This prince is in the capital, and his status and power are also first-class, right?" ”

Yan Xiaodao: "That's not, everyone knows that the emperor feels sorry for this grandson." ”

Dameng: "Then he dared to find the two of us without bringing any guards?" ”

Yan Xiaodao also looked puzzled: "I don't know, I just heard that this prince has a perverse temperament......"

Speaking of this, both of them were stunned, this prince is not only perverse in temperament, but also rumored to have a habit of dragon yang. Both of them raised their hands at the same time and touched their beards, and said in their hearts, "Shouldn't it?" This prince's taste is also heavy. ”

Da Meng showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "That, didn't you say before that the prince was a very beautiful little white face from the street on the day he entered Beijing?" ”

Yan Xiaodao hurriedly nodded: "No, it was said that it was in the crowd at a glance." ”

The two quickly took another sip of wine and uncovered this awkward conversation. Yan Xiaodao said: "I'll be on duty all night, I can't sleep anyway, my lord, you go and rest first." ”

Da Meng was also not polite, slapped a palm on Yan Xiaodao's body, and patted Yan Xiaodao with a stumble: "What is your name, call me Da Meng." That's fine, I'll be sleepy, go to sleep for a while, and wake up in the middle of the night. I'll come in the middle of the night. ”

It stands to reason that Da Meng is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and his official rank is several levels higher than Yan Xiaodao. But Da Meng is also a person who has climbed up from the grassroots level, he has never regarded himself as an official, and he especially likes to mix with grassroots brothers like Yan Xiaodao, and likes this kind of life of drinking wine and eating meat and working night shifts.

When the moon comes out, it is past the ugly hour. The wind and waves on the river are also in a hurry. Yan Xiaodao looked up at the sky, he couldn't see anything, the clouds were still very thick, and the moon was flickering and dim, which was not very good-looking.

Suddenly, Yan Xiaodao felt a black spot in front of him shake. He rubbed his eyes, and then looked at it, the moonlight was still flickering and dimming, and there was nothing on the river.

In the cabin, He Jingying occupied a large bed and slept peacefully. Suddenly, there was a soft noise on the deck. He Jingying sat up violently, and casually picked up the silver sword placed on the bed. A dark figure rushed over, covered her mouth, and pressed her down on the bed again.

He Jingying was about to scream, and a trace of moonlight came through, illuminating the bridge of the black shadow's towering nose. Xiao Lian, who was originally sleeping next door, came to her room at some point.

There was another soft bang on the deck. If it weren't for the high concentration of both of them, this soft sound would not have been audible.

Xiao Lian put his finger on his lips and made a "shhhh The other hand was already quietly resting on the sword.

Near the window on the side of the deck, a figure looms. Xiao Lian leaned over and said in He Jingying's ear, "Stay here." After that, Xiao Lian's eyes condensed slightly, his hand slapped on the edge of the bed, and the whole person soared out of the air, slamming through the window with a "bang", kicking the black-clothed man in front of the window a foot away. The man in black slammed into the mast.

Xiao Lian just stood still on the deck. Dozens of black-clothed men jumped up from the bottom of the boat and slashed at Xiao Lian in unison.

He Jingying's heart rose to her throat, and she jumped out of the window with a silver sword, swinging away the black-clothed man who was attacking behind Xiao Lian. He Jingying's silver sword is called Folding Moon, which was specially made by He Yin for He Jingying, the sword body is extremely thin and light, and it can penetrate the moonlight, but it is extremely tough. The man in black couldn't strike a blow, and reversed his sword head to attack He Jingying. The tip of He Jingying's sword touched the deck, stood upside down, and Kan Kan dodged the sword, and then one turned over and fell, and the folding moon bent slightly, popped forward, and hit the arm of the man in black. The sword in the hand of the man in black flew out of his hand, and a cut on his chest was cut by the moon that was neither deep nor shallow, and the blood flowed like a stream. And He Jingying had already arrived behind Xiao Lian at this time.

Xiao Lian said angrily: "Didn't you stay in the room? ”

He Jingying said disdainfully: "You told me to stay? ”

The men in black glanced at each other and slowly surrounded the two with knives.

Xiao Lian took the sword in his hand and shook it. "Don't you think it's a little strange that there's no one on this deck?"

The man in black paused.

The corners of Xiao Lian's mouth twitched slightly, and an incomprehensible pleasure flashed in his cunning eyes. Xiao Lian struck his sword on the deck, made a "bang" sound, and ordered: "You want to live!" ”

Dozens of people below deck replied at the same time: "Yes! Immediately, the deck cracked open with a thud, and dozens of people in coarse cloth clothes jumped out of the deck. These people are the same merchants who boarded the ship in Yuzhou.

One of the men in black said, "! Hit the trick! Walk! ”

But how can it be so easy? These dozens of people dressed as merchants hide their edges during the day, and when they move in the night, their eyes are bright, and each of them is a good hand. In an instant, several men in black were hit hard, all of them were swords in the chest, but they avoided the vital point, and instantly defeated the enemy and left their lives.

Among the men in black, there was a man who was short in stature, but did not have a sword, and he did not move his hand, and when his figure suddenly flashed, he grabbed Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian's eyes condensed slightly, even if this person was silent, looking at his skills, Xiao Lian also guessed the comer: "Pulsatilla!" Protect the Princess! ”

With Xiao Lian's order, Ma Cheng, Yan Xiaodao, and Da Meng jumped out of the shadows and protected He Jingying in the middle. Even Xu Longju rushed out tremblingly, standing beside He Jingying with a look of death. Ma Cheng, Yan Xiaodao, and Da Meng's original mission was to hide in the shadows and catch the leader of the man in black. Now there are new tasks.

Da Meng roared as he danced a big knife vigorously, and no one was close to it within a zhang.

When the man in black heard that Xiao Lian recognized him, he simply ripped off his mask, revealing a head of white hair. Pulsatilla smiled: "Okay, grandson, you still know your grandfather, you have filial piety!" ”

Xiao Lian slashed over with a sword: "My grandfather's grave grass is one foot high, where did you come from, go back!" ”

Seeing Xiao Lian's sword coming, Pulsatilla didn't dodge or dodge, and reached out to take a sword. The sword struck Pulsatilla's hand, and several sparks burst out in an instant.

Xiao Lian saw clearly by the moonlight that Pulsatilla was wearing gold silk soft armor on his hands. Xiao Lian smiled and said, "The old man wears gloves, what kind of little girl!" ”

Pulsatilla said angrily: "Who do you say is the little girl!" ”

Xiao Lian smiled again: "Whoever answers, who is the little girl!" ”

While talking, the two of them have gone through dozens of moves, all of which are fast and fast. The moonlight flickered in the sky and fell on Xiao Lian's sword, giving the sword body a layer of circulating moonlight.
