Chapter 42: Eating Seeds

(ps: From the second volume, the heroine officially changed her name to Su Shenyu.) )

In the early morning, on the foggy riverbank, there is a slanting light breaking the dawn, and the surrounding area is covered with a pale yellow mist.

Cold, bone-chilling.

The surface of the river has long since returned to calm, and the blue waves are rippling, and the vast soup soup has washed away all traces.

Su Shenyu's whole body was soaked, his clothes were stained with blood, crumpled and attached to his body, his face was pale, his hair was messily stuck to his face, dripping water. An arrow was stabbed in the ankle, half of the arrow was broken, and half of it was stuck in the flesh, and the wound was already soaked white, and there was still blood flowing.

Shen Ji hugged Su Shenyu and looked at her closed eyes and pale face, full of worry.

I had pressed all the water out of her stomach just now, but I didn't wake her up for a long time.

There were eight of them, and now there are only five left.

Last night, the group hid in the water, dodging enemy attacks while searching for their teammates, and finally waited for the Assassins to swim out of the water when they were far away. Everyone was more or less injured, and they were all soaked, describing themselves as embarrassed.

Li Qiu asked: "Who is so ruthless that he has such a heavy hand!" ”

"It's useless to talk about this now, we need to get out of here as soon as possible before they chase after us." Guard Gu Xing said.

"We need to find a place to treat our injuries first, county lord, it seems that the injuries are not light." Rong Kite said.

Shen Ji picked up Su Shenyu and instructed Gu Xing, "Go and see what kind of place this is, is there anyone nearby?" ”

Gu Xinggang replied, "Yes." ”

Shen Ji felt the person in his arms move. Su Shenyu tugged at his sleeve, coughed, spit out a mouthful of water, and said with difficulty: "I know who it is." ”

Rong Yuan hurriedly said: "The county lord is awake!" ”

"What is who?" Li Qiu asked.

"Su Rui." She replied with great difficulty.

Shen Ji asked: "You mean, the person who wants to kill you is King Ming?" ”

Su Shenyu nodded.

Li Qiu was puzzled: "How can it be, the county lord and the prince are not ......"

"I am not related to Su Rui, he is just my stepfather."

"But even if you are not a blood relative, why would the prince want to kill you? This tiger poison doesn't eat children? ……”

Halfway through the words, he suddenly remembered that King Ming and Su Shenyu were only father and daughter in name, and in those days when he was in King Ming's mansion, he had never seen King Ming to see Su Shenyu, so that the relationship between the two people did have an inside story, but what kind of inside story it was, it was not for him to ask.

Shen Ji asked, "How can you be sure that he is not someone else?" ”

Su Shenyu said: "Master, let me down." ”

"You've got wounds."

"The master is not lightly injured, let me down, I can walk by myself."

Shen Ji remembered that he was also injured, and he only cared about her before, and he didn't feel pain, but when he said this, his arm hurt a little.

He put her down, and as soon as Su Shenyu touched the ground, he sat on the ground, leaned over to pull out the arrow on his foot, and the blood flowed for a while. She frowned in pain, her lips turned white, and she immediately tore off a damp piece of fabric from her sleeve with her teeth, wrung out the water, and wrapped it around her ankles, the white strips of cloth turning red in an instant.

The crowd was also shocked by her behavior. She looked up, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and it must have been very painful, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, and she said, "It's okay, fortunately, the arrow is not poisonous." Then he held up the arrow he had just drawn out and showed it to the crowd, "With this." ”

Li Qiu and Gu Xing both noticed that this arrow was black with a faint red light, and it was made of dark iron, and ordinary people could not afford to use it. The body of the arrow is extremely sharp, and there are some carved patterns, and there are barbs on it, but the shape of the barbs is a little strange.

Su Shenyu said: "When I was in the palace, once, I met Su Rui practicing arrows, and he used the same arrow. ”

Shen Ji said: "He didn't dare to do it when he was in Wangcheng, so he couldn't wait when he left Jiangzhou!" ”

Su Shenyu carefully retracted the broken arrow into his arms, and said, "I can't see the corpse, I'm afraid that Su Rui will not be reconciled, let's hurry up." ”

As soon as he stood up, he stumbled in pain and almost fell, Shen Ji hurriedly helped her and said, "I'll carry you." ”

Su Shenyu shook his head and stripped his hair, "No, the master is also injured, so you don't have to take care of me all the time." ”

Li Qiu said: "I'll come, I'm not seriously injured." ”

Su Shenyu smiled, "Then thank you." ”

"The county lord doesn't have to be polite." So Li Qiu carried Su Shenyu on his back.

All five of them were wounded, and they supported each other, and when they came to a crowded place, they bought a few clothes with silver and changed them before they entered the city.

When they were in the water, they couldn't make out the direction clearly, and they were washed back by the current, and now, they have not left Jiangzhou.

casually found a family medical center to deal with the injury, Gu Xing went out to inquire about the news, only to know that there were secret sentinels in the middle reaches of Chengjiang and were looking for them. The other party didn't know how many people they had, but the rest of them didn't care, the main one was looking for Su Shenyu.

The hospital couldn't stay anymore, so I bought some wound medicine and took it with me and changed to an inn.

Several people discussed that they must leave as soon as possible, but there are many secret posts along the riverbank, and it is not appropriate to take the waterway again. How do you get out of the city quietly without the many secret sentinels? Su Shenyu proposed, "Maybe you can come to a plank road to repair the plank road in the bright and dark." ”

"I'm the one they're looking for, and maybe I'll be the bait to avoid their sight."

"No, it's too risky." Shen Jidao.

"It's not really that I'm the bait, they haven't seen me, it's enough to make them think it's me."

"What does the county lord mean, find someone who looks alike?" Li Qiu asked.

"No, it's urgent now, and no one can be found."

Rong Yuan suddenly understood, pointed to his nose and asked, "What does the county lord mean is to let me pretend to be the county lord?" This ......"

"Well, you and the master and Li Qiu will walk on the water to attract their attention, and then we will leave secretly in a carriage. You don't have to worry, Su Rui is acting in secret, he won't be too public, and he will definitely wait for the ship to leave the dock before he will do it. When you get on board, you will abandon the ship and go away, and we will meet you on the shore. By the time they reacted, we were out of town. ”

And when they thought it was possible, they all agreed.

Shen Ji mentioned, "The prince is thoughtful, how could he not have thought that Su Rui would do something to you, didn't he make another arrangement?" ”

Su Shenyu naturally thought of this, but she and Su Qingluo had an agreement first, she worked for him, how could she not have any ability, Su Qingluo was obviously testing her.

She said: "Now the only way to hurry up to Jicheng and meet His Royal Highness King Sheng is to do so, and there is no need to say anything else." ”

On the same day, Gu Xing spent a lot of money to hire a boat and made an appointment with the boatman to wait at the dock.

At night, the wind and waves were high, and the boat was only a hundred feet out of the dock, and a killer appeared, but unfortunately, there was no one else on the boat except the boatman.

The killer pounced, came back to his senses, searched all over the city, and there was no trace of Su Shenyu and others.

At the same time, on a winding and dark mountain road, a horse-drawn carriage galloped by.

Gu Xing drove, the mountain road was bumpy, and the car contained four people, which was very cramped.

Su Shenyu's face was not very good, on the one hand, because of the injury, on the other hand, thinking that she had killed the innocent boatman for her own life, she felt a little uneasy.

"It should be safe when you get out of Jiangzhou." Li Qiu comforted.

Su Shenyu nodded. I was thinking in my heart, this is just the beginning, will there be less life in the future?
