Now the hour is already a moment, Huairou City is quiet, the horse's hooves "dada" to break the pipe leading to the east of the city, the flat avenue is lined with tall poplars, lush leaves cover a large area of moonlight, the horse team did not light torches, feel the dark to move forward.

There is a particularly large wharf by the canal in the east of the city, which is the largest trading wharf in the entire south, and it is also the most chaotic and busiest wharf in the entire Qi country, so even if it is late at night, the canal with two rows of palm trees is still lit on both sides, and people shuttle back and forth.

"It's so late, and you still come to deliver the goods, you guys are really hard!"

A dock porter in brown shorts carried a large wooden box on his shoulder, and walked firmly and very quickly towards the big boat docked next to the plank road, and when he heard the little officer guarding the dock say this, a smile appeared on his dark face, and he replied to him without saltiness, "It's all for wages, and the master has told us rough people to listen." ”

The questioning little official was holding a record booklet in his hand, and he was holding an ink-stained brush in his hand, chatting while counting the goods they carried, and chatting with the laborer who was carrying the big box with a deliberate smile on his sleepy face, "Why does the head of the Li family always transport goods in the middle of the night, I can't be sleepy now." ”

When the big man carrying the wooden box heard this, he smirked a disdainful smile on his face when he turned his back to the little official, but when he walked back, he put on a sincere smile again, raised his tone a little, and expressed the same complaint as the little official, "Yes, it's always in the middle of the night, and everyone is very tired—if you are tired, go and rest, and tell you the number after you finish moving." ”

"Really? This method is not bad, then I'll squint for a while, you're quite shrewd. ”

As he spoke, the little official took the booklet and the brush, yawned and left the dock under the lantern, and found a place to rest.

Seeing that the little official was gone, the big man stood on the uneven stone road, turned his head to look at the black surface of the canal, pulled out an inconspicuous sneer at the corner of his mouth, and randomly turned around and walked towards the location of the goods.

Li Youguang was standing on the steps of the dock with his bleeding abdomen, gritting his teeth and directing the handling of goods, his face turned pale because of too much blood loss, and he looked particularly miserable.

"Ahem! Everyone, move quickly, no matter what, we must send the goods out, this is related to each of our inventory, don't be lazy, let alone think about running away! ”

Li Youguang felt really bad at the moment, he dragged his sick body and stared at the scene firmly, shrewdly looking at every porter.

"And the last car, everyone work hard! I'll get through it, and tomorrow I'll pay out of my own pocket for everyone to drink! ”

He said loudly again, and a few acquaintances insisted on looking at them when they saw that he was like this, and they felt a little embarrassed, so they persuaded Li Youguang loudly while carrying the big box, "Yi'an, you're like this, hurry up and sit and rest, we will finish moving quickly." ”

"That's right! Yi'an, you see that the blood in your stomach has not stopped, so don't be reckless, hurry up and see a doctor. ”

Li Youguang insisted on his face and loudly vetoed their words, "I have received all your kindness, but I promised the lord and the eldest prince that the goods must be transported out safely, everyone hurry up, so that I can go back to heal my injuries." ”

"Okay, let's hurry."

A few big men turned their heads to the others and said, "Guys, there's not much left, let's work hard!" ”

After saying that, he quickened his pace and quickly carried the large box onto the ship.

Li Youguang looked at everyone with satisfaction and gratitude, his eyes met a man in brown clothes who walked back, nodded imperceptibly, Li Youguang retracted his gaze, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

He looked down at the wound on his abdomen, the blood had stained his left hand red, and the blue clothes were also stained red, and the blood had dried up and turned black.

Heh, this stab is real, Wei Shaoguang.

He could already hear the sound of the horse's hooves approaching in his ears, and said in his heart: "I have taken the bait", and he raised his head to look around the situation on the dock, and spoke loudly.

"There are Lao guys tonight, but we are already late, what we can do now is to arrive at the delivery place as soon as possible, don't live up to the expectations of the master, add a little more effort, there is not much left!"

His eyes were eagerly full of encouragement, and his tone was three points weak and seven points desperate, so that Li Baichuan, who had just approached here, heard it at once.

Li Baichuan rode a fast horse and approached the dock quickly, with a sky of dust behind him, he jumped off the horse and walked quickly towards Li Youguang, but changed his attitude after seeing Li Youguang's face and injuries.

"Yi'an! What happened to you? ”

Li Youguang's eyes showed surprise and relief, followed by guilt and sadness.

This series of eye changes were all seen by Li Baichuan, and his face was a little more fake worry, and he asked Li Youguang anxiously, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm sorry for the little one, master! I'm even more sorry for the eldest son! Li Youguang's voice was filled with uncontrollable crying, and his uncomfortable mood was obvious, he covered his lower abdomen with blood in one hand, his body was full of scars, and he was very embarrassed, but he still had to kneel down and state his mistakes in pain.

"Sir! The little one and the eldest son set off from the shop together, and met a group of people dressed in black halfway, they came up to grab the goods without saying a word, the small one and the big prince couldn't resist, the big prince he, he! Li Youguang couldn't go on, and sobbed, "He was blocked by a knife, and blood sprayed the small one's face, and the small one was crazy at the time, and he wanted to fight with the thief who killed the eldest son, but the small one couldn't beat those people, and was stabbed and fell to the side of the eldest son, who knew that the eldest prince pinched the small arm at this time and explained to the small one, and he desperately wanted to send the goods out."

"Sir! The eldest son, he is really an iron-clad hero, the little one is fighting for this cheap life, and he has to carry the goods out for the eldest prince! ”

Li Youguang's words, everyone who heard them were moved, Li Baichuan snorted, the tips of his fingers were numb, he took a deep look at Li Youguang, who was struggling to kneel on the ground, and reached out painfully to help Li Youguang up, "Yi'an, you have a heart, get up quickly." ”

His eyes swept over Li Youguang's face, and he pretended to inadvertently roll up Li Youguang's sleeve, saw the pinch marks on it, and finally swept his eyes over the blood stains on his ginseng blue clothes, his eyes sank, and he said to Li Youguang with concern, "Thank you for your hard work, the goods have been loaded onto the ship, you should hurry up and treat your injuries." ”

"Someone! Help Yi An to go down to heal. ”

Two black-clothed soldiers came out, one left and one right, supporting Li Youguang and walking to the side, and Li Youguang followed them obediently.

His gaze swept over a corner, and then slid away, as if he hadn't seen anything, and he let out a few cold sweats as if he were hurt, and walked to the side, waiting for healing.
