Chapter 519: Assassin
"How can this be considered a small injury, there are so many purples, it is good if it doesn't hurt the bones." Lin Huiru frowned, and gently poked the purple mark with her hand, Xu Ziqiao didn't react, but she bared her teeth and cracked her mouth because of this. "I didn't bring a plaster this time, wait for me to find Xiao Er to get some medicine, and by the way, ask what's going on."
Xu Ziqiao nodded, "Okay, now it seems that the assassin should be on the boat." If you don't find out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even sleep these days. ”
After Xiao Er came, his face turned white when he heard about the whole thing, and just now he also saw that the Jinyi guard didn't dare to open the door and bowed to Xu Ziqiao, and he suddenly knew in his heart that the identity of the adult in front of him was extraordinary, and now that he met an assassin, they couldn't escape the whole ship.
"Alright, don't stand there stupidly, did you see any suspicious people just now? There are already a lot of wealthy merchants or officials on this ship, don't tell me that you can't even guarantee the safety of your guests. Lin Huiru asked while giving Xu Ziqiao safflower oil distressedly.
Having a chance to speak, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "My lord, forgive me, this person is on the deck on the first floor, we thought that the most important thing to guard against was that group of people, and we didn't dare to disturb the rest of the adults, so we just guarded below." I didn't expect that such a thing as an assassination would happen above, but fortunately, the adults are fine, otherwise the small ones can't afford to pay for a few heads. ”
Xu Ziqiao saw that his demeanor and what he said were not fake, so he asked in a deep voice, "This time, how many people are on the boat?" ”
"If you go back to your lordship, there are a total of sixty guest rooms, but this time only this one on the second and third floors is empty, and there seem to be only a dozen people on the first floor." Xiao Er thought about it carefully, and didn't dare to make any mistakes.
After hearing this, Lin Huiru couldn't help frowning, so many people, it is unrealistic to check their identities one by one, not to mention that they are now isolated and helpless.
"What is the identity of the person who booked this room?" Xu Ziqiao frowned and asked again.
"If you go back to the adult, the little ones don't dare to ask about the identity of the adults, but if the little ones in this room are not mistaken, they should be a friend of our host, but then I don't know why I didn't come, because this room was set aside by the owner." Xiao Er said busily.
Lin Huiru rubbed his chin, it seems that now Xu Ziqiao suspects that someone outside has killed the wrong person. After all, they were secretive this time, and they were careful when they came, and almost no one saw them come up.
"Okay, you go down, we don't have to hide the fact that we have changed rooms, and the people on the ship had better knock on the side and let them know. After all, the person who hurt us is likely to be the enemy of the previous tenant. Xu Ziqiao waved his hand, and the little two ran out as if he had been amnestied.
Lin Huiru carefully put a plaster on Xu Ziqiao again, and then helped him put down his sleeves, "Don't you want to tell them directly that they have found the wrong person?" ”
"I hope this can make them give up, if it's for us, I'm afraid I won't be able to find any helper for a while, I thought that this time I would be relaxed, and now my mood was forced to be ruined." Xu Ziqiao tidied up his sleeves, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
However, after the news was released, the man did not come again, and the few days on the ship were always peaceful, a few days faster than they expected.
When he got off the boat, stepping on the solid ground made Lin Huiru a little uncomfortable, "After staying on the boat for a long time, stepping on this place actually has a feeling that he is going to fall down in the next moment." ”
"I'll take you by the hand, just walk a little longer." As he spoke, Xu Ziqiao held Lin Huiru's hand tightly, pulled her forward, and happened to see Bai Qianyi who was drinking tea nearby.
Lin Huiru was still immersed in Xu Ziqiao's thoughtfulness, "It's still a little damp when I put it on, and I feel like I'm going to have a prickly heat all the way." I heard that the hot pot branch is opening well in the south, do you want to eat hot pot to ward off the cold? ”
"Okay, but if it's a mandarin duck pot." Xu Ziqiao agreed, and then bowed slightly to Bai Qianyi, who was walking quickly.
"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly, I've only been here for a long time, and I haven't heard any useful news yet, but the room is ready." Bai Qianyi turned around and pointed to the tallest building looming behind him, "That's over there." ”
Lin Huiru squinted his eyes and hesitated slightly, "Although you can stand high and see far away, it is not suitable there, and we will eat and go to the west for a while, and go to find a place only a little away from the downtown area, which is still a little out of the way, and it is not easy to inquire about the news." ”
Bai Qianyi nodded, "Okay, then what to eat?" ”
"Hot pot, mandarin duck pot, of course you have to go to the cold if you come by water." Lin Huiru smiled, raised his feet and walked in front.
This southern folk style is unrestrained, plus Xu Ziqiao and Bai Qianyi are also very handsome and beautiful men, and there are many women who stop or cast admiring eyes next to them, and that sight also makes Lin Huiru a little uncomfortable, even if Xu Ziqiao holds her hand, those undisguised eyes are still unscrupulous.
I finally found a hot pot restaurant to sit down, and the proprietress also delivered a few more dishes.
Bai Qianyi saw that Lin Huiru's face was not right all the way, but he ate with relish during the meal, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "I was extremely unhappy to see you on the road just now, why are you in the mood to eat now?" ”
"Why are you not in the mood to eat, this piece of meat given away for free is dozens of dollars a piece, and it is sent for nothing, if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing." Lin Huiru said, put a freshly scalded hairy belly into his mouth and chewed it carefully, "And I think about it, they don't care if they see you, then I just need to clean him up, I'll draw a few pockmarks for him and bring a veil to prevent future troubles." ”
"Madam, it's not like that..."Xu Ziqiao's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened slightly, and he looked at Lin Huiru's expression very helplessly.
Lin Huiru was busy eating, and even didn't want to speak, in the end, at first, she was also attracted by Xu Ziqiao's face, "Why not, otherwise I can't ruin your face." ”
The atmosphere fell into another silence, Lin Huiru saw that the two of them had not moved their chopsticks for a long time, so he picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Okay, just kidding, there is no way, and there is no need to show up." That's what reminds me that your face is not like reselling books, but more like a handsome boy or a little white face. ”
Bai Qianyi couldn't hold back a smile, and Xu Ziqiao twitched, "Then what do you think?" Why don't you pretend to be a rich girl and I pretend to be your male pet? ”
This time it was Lin Huiru's turn to be stunned, what kind of tiger and wolf words came out of this guy's mouth, but she stiffened for a moment, and then nodded unexpectedly to Xu Ziqiao, "It's not impossible, I think it's feasible." ”
