Song Ran had seen Shen Hanxi's riding and archery ability before, but he didn't expect his martial arts to be so high, although he brought her as a drag oil bottle, he didn't give those assassins a chance to get close at all.

Long Pan and several shadow guards accompanying him were also masters, and there were many people who had no choice but to ambush here, and after killing for a while, he retreated to Shen Hanxi's side and said solemnly: "My lord, the officers and soldiers will come soon, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hide my identity at that time." "These people are very cunning, just to force us to expose our whereabouts." ”

Shen Hanxi narrowed his eyes: "This official quietly left Beijing this time, but he can't leave the handle to those officials, and he doesn't have to fight." ”

Long Pan understood the stakes, and instructed the shadow guards: "You escort the adults to go first, and my palace is behind!" Fast! ”

Shen Hanxi grabbed Song Ran's wrist and took her to the ferry.

There were many fishing boats parked at the ferry, Song Ran was pushed onto a small boat, and a shadow guard who followed quickly cut the straw rope that tied the boat with a knife, and said, "My lord, go first!" ”

Shen Hanxi threw a silver ingot and gave it to the owner of the ship with a confused face: "Start the boat." ”

When the dumb man came back from buying medicine, he saw the situation here from a distance, and his eyebrows flickered. He had only been gone for less than two quarters of an hour, and how could such a drastic change have occurred? I saw that Long Pan and the shadow guard were fighting hard, and there was no shadow of Shen Hanxi and Song Ran everywhere. When I looked up at the river, I saw a small boat hundreds of feet away from the shore.

He hurriedly untied an ownerless ship, only to be stopped by the Assassins who surrounded him.

Not far away, the dragon pan was already covered in blood, and he estimated that his own adults were almost gone, he roared, forced the two assassins who pounced on him a few steps back with the back of his knife, and felt a bamboo tube from his waist. It was Tingweisi's wolf smoke stick, designed to deliver messages. He pulled the lead underneath him, and a trail of black smoke rose into the air. When the watchtower of the nearby Tingwei Division saw this wolf smoke, he would come to reinforcements.

I just hope that I can make it to that time......

Song Ran was already a little cold, the small fishing boat did not block the wind in front and back, she leaned in the cabin, and couldn't help but shrink her shoulders in the cold.

Shen Hanxi stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the riverbank that was gradually out of sight, and there was mist in his eyes.

The boatman asked him cautiously, "I don't know where Gongzi wants to land?" ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "Go to Linqing." Then he got into the boat and saw Song Ran leaning against the wall of the boat, his eyes closed, and his face was not very good. He casually touched her forehead, slightly hot.

Feeling the chill on her forehead, she opened her eyes suddenly. In front of him, his white trimmed sleeves stopped, his hand was on her forehead, and when she saw that it was him, she let down her guard and breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord." ”

He saw her reaction in his eyes, withdrew his hand, and said lightly: "Suzhou Mansion can't go back, we need to find a ferry port nearby and go ashore." ”

She frowned slightly, and turning back at this time was tantamount to re-entering the tiger's mouth, and she couldn't go back. But if she doesn't go back, she really can't be relieved to be dumb...... When he returns from the medicine, he will encounter the most vicious Assassins.

He seemed to see through her worries, and said lightly: "This time, the official went out in micro-clothes, and his identity should not be easily exposed. Your dumb family can even avoid the pursuit of my court guard, are you still afraid that he won't be able to deal with a few little minions? When you have time to worry about him, it is better to worry about yourself. ”

She listened to his words, her eyebrows stretched slightly, and said, "There are adults here, and the people are not worried." ”

He narrowed his eyes slightly for her words, and said, "It will take half a day to get to Linqing, so get some sleep." ”

She withdrew half of her body inside: "My lord, sit inside, too, it's windy outside." ”

When she had said that, she closed her eyes wearily and said no more. He looked at her quietly. Because of the cold and fever, she slept quite unsteadily, probably still cold, and her body shivered. Although he felt a little troublesome in his heart, he turned to the side to block the wind from the mouth of the boat.

Shen Hanxi was closing his eyes when he suddenly felt a body leaning up. She lost her cloak just now, and her body was a little thin at this time. He knew that she was cold, so he unconsciously leaned towards him. She burned faintly, resting her head lightly on his shoulder, her little face pale and wheezing.

He hesitated for a moment, then took her into his arms.

She seemed to have finally found a safe place, finding a comfortable position in his arms, and her breathing gradually smoothed. He smelled the faint scent of soaphorn coming from her hair, his eyes drooped slightly, and under the messy long hair, there was a clean face. The nose is small and delicate, the chin is thin, the lips are slightly open, and the breath is like a lotus. She is not the kind of beauty that Su Long will be amazed at a glance, but she can also withstand such a close and detailed scrutiny from him. He quietly withdrew his gaze and glanced at the old man rowing the boat—this was not the time to allow him to be distracted.

After sleeping for about an hour, Song Ran woke up from his sleep, as if he was sweating a little, and his clothes were sticking to his body, which was slightly uncomfortable. There seemed to be something pillow under his head, and a patch of white clothing could be faintly seen.

She suddenly came back to her senses, and her heart almost skipped a beat.

She was pillowed on Shen Hanxi's legs, and his wide sleeves were casually resting on hers. At this time, they must be in a very ambiguous posture.

She stiffened slightly, not knowing whether to continue pretending to sleep or getting up to face the embarrassing scene. Keep pretending, the smell of him is really distracting to her.

"When you are awake, arise."

His cold voice sounded overhead, and she had to get up from his lap and look out of the boat. The morning on the river has dissipated, but there is still no shore in sight. After a few snaps of her fingers, she felt that it was not possible to keep looking out of the boat, so she finally turned to him and asked him casually, "Where have we been, my lord?" ”

He said, "I don't know. ”

Also, the scenery on the river is the same, where can he distinguish it.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she noticed that she was very thirsty, and was about to ask the boatman if he had any water to drink, when he heard the old man who was holding the boat say: "Girl, son, at this time, it is smooth sailing, and let the old man rest here for a while." As he spoke, he let the boat flow with the water, took a brass kettle and poured a glass of water, and sent it to Song Ran: "Girl, drink a cup of tea." ”

Song Ranzheng felt that his mouth was dry, and after thanking him, he reached out to pick it up.

At this point, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong. The old man looked like he was about seventy years old, but his hands were very young, she kept an eye on it, deliberately pretended not to catch it steadily, knocked over the tea in his hand, and took advantage of the situation to scoop his hand into his hand: "I'm really sorry, you didn't burn it, did you?" ”

He said again and again: "It doesn't matter. He withdrew his hand from her hand, and deliberately avoided her.

This hand is not only young, but also has thick and hard bones, and it is a pair of hands that practice martial arts all year round.

When he walked to the back to pour the tea again, she whispered to Shen Hanxi, "My lord, there is something wrong with this person." ”

Shen Hanxi's eyes under the mask were not shocked, and he wrote lightly: "I can see it." ”

Song Ran couldn't help but show a confused expression. He saw it, how could he still be so calm?

The man disguised as a shipwreck walked to the stern of the boat and found the knife hidden in the crack of the cabin, and Song Ran's performance made him guarded, if he didn't do it at this time, when would he wait.

He slowly approached the two men sitting side by side in the bow of the boat, raised his knife with a fierce look, and said "Come on!"

Unexpectedly, the weak woman suddenly turned around, and at some point there was a small bow and crossbow in her hand, and the tip of the crossbow was facing him.

She pointed her bow and crossbow at him, her eyes sharp: "You can try, is your knife fast, or my crossbow is fast, if you know the current affairs, put the knife down." ”

This sleeve crossbow was specially made for her by the dumb man, and he carefully taught her how to use it, so that she hid it in her sleeve in case of emergency. I didn't expect it to be used so quickly.

Shen Hanxi was about to make a move, but he retracted his action when he saw this.

The man who wanted to do something wrong took a step back fearfully at first, but when he saw that her hands trembled slightly, his eyes couldn't help but flash, and he quickly pounced on her. Song Ran was shocked, pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and the crossbow arrow shot out, but unfortunately his hand trembled slightly, and the river wind was so strong that it could wipe the man's face and shoot into the deck of the ship.

She exclaimed slightly, only to feel a force fall from her waist, and was picked up by Shen Hanxi, and when she came back to her senses, she was already standing on the board behind the "boatman" with him.

The boat swayed, and he let her go and met the "boatman". He was bare-handed, but the wind was sharp, and after only a few moves, the "boatman" was surprised by his skill. In more than ten moves, Shen Hanxi choked his throat.

The hand was so powerful that it lifted the boatman off the ground, and the other man's face was bruised and hideous, and his legs kicked wildly.

Shen Hanxi grabbed him by the neck and asked him, "Say, who sent you to kill me?" ”

The eyes behind the mask were indifferent and gloomy. His white robe was stirred by the river wind, and his whole person exuded an indescribable treacherous aura.

"Yes...... Someone issued a hunt and kill order on the rivers and lakes......"

The boatman was choked by the throat, his speech was intermittent, and his whole face began to bruise and swell from suffocation, and his face gradually became distorted and hideous.

Shen Hanxi didn't mean to let go of him, and continued to ask: "How do you know that I will appear at the ferry port in Suzhou Mansion today, and how do you know so well that I will be on your boat?" ”

"Early yesterday morning, someone ...... The adult's itinerary was revealed, and the ferries of the entire ferry port were all ...... Whoever wants to take the life of an adult......"

"So, no matter which ship I get on, there's only one dead end? Oh, your employers are generous. ”

Shen Hanxi loosened his strength a little and let him breathe: "You haven't answered me yet, who is your employer?" ”

The man didn't know what to say and begged him to spare his life.

Song Ran saw that his nose was fluttering, his pupils were dilated, and he was about to die, so he couldn't help but say, "My lord, spare his life, and then interrogate him slowly......"

When Shen Hanxi heard this, his hand slowly loosened, but the murderous intent that flashed in the other party's eyes did not escape his eyes, and before the hidden weapon in the opponent's sleeve slid out, he re-choked his throat bone and threw him out. Hearing the sound of "plopping" falling into the water, the man struggled in the water for a while, and soon lost his strength and sank.

Song Ran lay on the side of the boat, pale as he watched the river return to calm, and it took a while to come back to his senses, at this time he only felt a chill down his spine, and he couldn't say a word. She looked back at Shen Hanxi, only to see him move his wrist, and his tone was light: "Leaving him on the boat is always a disaster." ”
