Chapter 11: Assassination on board

Xu Xi sighed in her heart, how good would it be if she could be as naïve and ignorant as Gu Chaoci? Then Xu Xi shook her head again, if she was naïve, then where could she still live until now.

Xu Xixiang was upset, Xu Xi got up, quietly pushed open the door of the inn, and jumped to the roof of the inn.

The moon is in the sky, and the stars are dim. The noisy downtown has also quieted down, making people feel a little lonely.

She remembered the Chinese composition she wrote when she was a child, and she couldn't help but say it.

"When the moon is in the sky, there are pedestrians on the side of the road, I am alone, and the stars are lined with dust as if they are inconspicuous. And I'm like the star. Why is there no place for me when the world is so big? ”

"Look up at the bright moon and think of your hometown. Yes! Brother Tai, what a poem, what a poem! ”

Pei Huai leaned on the trunk of the tree, seeing Xu Xi feeling sorry for himself, he couldn't help but feel funny, but the words he said were not so good.

"There is so much dust, what do you want so many useless things in this world."

Pei Huai opened his mouth and realized that something was wrong, and just as he wanted to explain, he saw Xu Xiqing's cold eyes mixed with a bit of disgust, and what he wanted to say seemed to be stuck in his throat and couldn't be said.

I'm not talking about you... You... Don't think about it.

This sentence seems to weigh a thousand pounds.

Xu Xi Wangyue felt nostalgic, and when he heard this, that trace of sadness disappeared in an instant, and some were just precautions and disgust buried in his heart, Xu Xi said coldly.

"I don't know if the son still has a preference for listening to people's corners, he is abrupt and farewell."

Xu Xi jumped off the eaves with his hands in his hands and stood steadily in front of the inn. Pei Huai also brushed his sleeves straight down and landed in front of Xu Xi.

Don't you want to hit me again? Xu Xi looked at Pei Huai's appearance, and also recognized this idea, turned his head and left, not seeing Pei Huai's worried look.

Xu Xi returned to the inn, looked at Gu Chaoci, who was still sleeping, and lay down straight, forcing himself to fall asleep.

That's it, put up with him again, tomorrow after the Dingjiang River, you won't see this person.

Thinking of this, Xu Xi felt a little more comfortable.

In this era when there are no mobile phones and computers, I really don't know how Gu Chaoci passes the time.

The more he thought about it, the more sleepy he became, Xu Xi silently said good night in his heart, and went to sleep.

In the early morning, the bright sunlight also swayed through the window, warm like a painting. At this moment, a yawn broke the silence.

"Ahh Gu Chaoci rubbed his eyes, seeing that the people who were as bright and flamboyant as the sun on weekdays were so well-behaved at this moment, and the bad taste in his heart also came out.

Gu Chaoci scratched the tip of Xu Xi's nose with a strand of hair, and before he got close to Xu Xi, Xu Xi directly pounced on Gu Chaoci, and the person who hadn't woken up yet, said fiercely with wet eyes.

"Who sent you?"

Gu Chaoci was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Xu Xi saw that it was Gu Chaoci, so the movements in his hands were lightened, and he said with a haha.

"Why are you, I didn't hurt you."

Gu Chaoci also smiled and rubbed his arm and said.

"I didn't expect you to be a little woman, and your strength is really not small."

The two of them went over with a haha.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

The shopkeeper knocked on the door and said loudly.

"Two girls, a few sons have been waiting downstairs for the two girls to have breakfast, and let me pass the word that it is to bother the two girls to clean up and salute, and they are ready to cross this Dingjiang after breakfast."

When Gu Chaoci heard the shopkeeper's words, he sped up his eyebrows. Puzzled, asked.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

I'm afraid someone is going to murder someone in secret, Xu Xi thought secretly.

"Okay, here we go."

Xu Xi replied.

"Hey, okay." The shopkeeper got a reply, and it went down.

After a while, Xu Xi and Gu Chaoci slowly went downstairs.

I saw Xu Xi's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the clothes of a man who were also dark colors fit her very well. And Gu Chaoci painted crooked willow eyebrows, and the delicate of the youngest daughter's family was no wonder that it could attract the prince of the general's mansion.

Nie Chenghui looked at Xu Xi's dark clothes, and then turned his head to look at Pei Huai beside him, who was also dark color.

Said cheaply.

"Miss Xu has a good relationship with my master, and they are all dressed in dark colors."

Pei Huai didn't make any waves when he heard this, but he swept Xu Xi slightly, and saw that she was still so cold, so he opened his mouth to reprimand.

"It's just a coincidence."

"I'll change it when I'm done eating."

Xu Xi's dazzling smile, the raised Danfeng eyes, and the delicate cherry mouth make people want to taste it.

This seemingly simple conversation was a bit-for-tat, and Gu Chaoci was a little surprised.

Ah Xi seems to be a little disgusted with this Pei Huai, but it looks like Nie Chenghui's appearance really belongs to Ah Xi, isn't it... Nie Chenghui likes Ah Xi?

I have to say that Gu Chaoci's brain hole is still very big. If Xu Xi knew, he would definitely open his mouth to refute. I'll your grandma a leg!

On the table are longan lotus seed lily porridge, white fruit osmanthus soup, rock sugar snow fungus coconut cup, water chestnut crispy cake, osmanthus Mo cake, lotus seed water chestnut soup, eggplant fragrant Sixi pills, Bazhen cake, pea yellow, bean rolls, stewed beef brisket in black plum wine, spicy hoof flower, amber winter melon, eight treasure vegetarian vegetables, hanging roasted pigeon, garlic quail preserved shrimp, crystal elbow flower.

Xu Xi didn't like it even more, these people, breakfast is so extravagant, aren't these dishes made by inferior people you look down on.

Xu Xi ate sullenly.

Gu Chaoci said with a smile.

"Longan lotus seed lily porridge, rock sugar snow fungus coconut Gu, and stewed beef brisket in black plum wine... I like to eat very much, and I'm tired of a few sons. ”

Nie Chenghui smiled evilly.

"Miss Gu likes it."

After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to get their luggage.

Xu Xi and Gu Chaoci carried a burden, and Nie Chenghui saw it and said busily.

"I'll carry it."

Xu Xi muttered quietly, that is, seeing Gu Chao's beautiful appearance, he was so attentive. But he still handed the burden in his hand to Nie Chenghui.

Sunny and bustling with pedestrians. There are also hawkers who are constantly shouting. It was so noisy, but Xu Xi's heart calmed down.

Seeing such a noisy scene, as if last night's assassination had never happened last night, Xu Xi felt a little uneasy in his heart and clenched Gu Chaoci's hand.

Before a storm, the sea is always exceptionally calm.

"Sell sugar gourds, a string of three articles, no sweetness and no money."

Xu Xi's eyes lit up when he saw that there was a sugar gourd for sale, and then it darkened again.

When I was a child, other children had their parents by their side, and the sugar gourds at the school gate were bought by their parents for them to eat, but she didn't have the money to eat a bunch of sugar gourds. When I grew up, I became a hired killer, and I never went to the street in the daytime.

Pei Huai saw Xu Xi looking at the sugar gourd with a look of longing.

"Qianling, buy a string of sugar gourds for Xu Xi. Don't say I bought it for him. ”

Pei Huai still had a straight face, Tang Qianling responded with a mouthful, and ran to Xu Xi with a sugar gourd.

"Sister Xu, sugar gourd, Master won't let me tell you that he ordered me to buy it." Tang Qianling handed the sugar gourd to Xu Xi and ran back to Pei Huai.

Pei Huai's face was black, while Gu Chaoci was trembling with laughter.

"Ah Xi, this Pei Huai really understands you."

Xu Xi looked at Pei Huai's face and was puzzled.

But he still opened his mouth and took a bite of the sugar gourd.

Well! It's sweet! When I ate the fruit inside, there was a hint of sourness.

Xu Xi ate all this string of sugar gourds into his stomach. clapped his hands, pretended that nothing had happened, and ignored Gu Chaoci's quips.

Unconsciously walked to the front of Dingjiang, Nie Chenghui recruited a boat, and another boatman set up a boat.

I don't know why, Xu Xi's right eyelid keeps jumping.

The left eye jumped with wealth and the right eye jumped with disaster, Xu Xi forced himself not to want this.

The river was calm, and the boats before and after, Xu Xi looked at Gu Chaoci and yawned and patted her.

"Resignation, I'll be here in a while, and I'll sleep when it's time." Xu Xi said gently.

The boat was moving slower and slower, Pei Huai frowned, and Nie Chenghui also noticed that something was wrong.

Pei Huai and Nie Chenghui lifted the curtain and looked at the boatman.

This boatman was wearing the most ordinary coarse cloth, and there was no panic when Pei Huai and Nie Chenghui came out.

"How did the two guest officers come out?"

Pei Huai glanced at Nie Chenghui, and Nie Chenghui stopped laughing.

"Haha, how can you boatman set up the boat so slowly."

When it was too late, Pei Huai straightened up and took out Nie Chenghui's long sword and put it on the boatman's neck.

The boatman snorted coldly.

"The national teacher is too arrogant."

I saw twenty or thirty people breaking out of the boat, and the seven or eight boats that originally wanted to leave Pei Huai's ship were all dressed in black and holding long swords.

"It's really hard to kill me." Pei Huai said sarcastically, and as soon as the long sword in his hand slipped, the boatman gradually fell.

Xu Xi also calmed Gu Chaoci first when he heard the movement, then picked up his big knife and walked out with a defensive face.

"Take your life." The men in black came one after another, but one by one they died under her knife.

There is no doubt about the skill of these three people, they just fought on the boat, and the boat itself was a little broken, and the boat gradually entered the water.

A man in black attaches to the ear of another.

Boss, I can't hold it anymore, or I just stab this person to death with an arrow, I really can't complete the capture alive that the lord said.

The other man in black nodded.

"Shoot the arrows."

Xu Xi saw something similar to chopsticks flying, he didn't know what it was, and then he looked closely, ah, what was this or a pointed thing.

Pei Huai saw Xu Xi stunned when he saw the arrow flying, and turned around and held her in his arms.

"Fool, what if there is poison on the arrow."

Xu Xi's body stiffened.

If she didn't know that it was an arrow, it would have provoked him to laugh at it, so she simply pretended not to hear it.

An arrow with flames on it went towards the compartment, poof, and the spark grew bigger and bigger.

Gu Chaoci ran out.

"Ah-hee, Ah-hee, the cabin is on fire!"

Xu Xi was a little panicked in his heart, and forced himself to suppress this panic.

Xu Xi looked back, and there was not much to go from the shore. At noon, the bodies of the men in black on the Dingjiang River fell, and there were still a few men in black who were still not giving up.

"Gu Chaoci, Pei Huai, jump into the river. Swim to the shore and follow me. ”

Xu Xi was ruthless and jumped off the river. It's spring in March, but the river is still cold and tight. Xu Xi was stabbed in the shoulder by an arrow, Xu Xi's body gradually became bulky, and his head was a little groggy.

Pei Huai saw that Xu Xi, who was swimming in front, gradually sank, and his heart tightened. The head didn't react, but the body swam towards Xu Xi faster and faster.

Finally............. Enough to reach Xu Xi.
