139 Secret Assassination (2)
"How can this be!" Duan Rubian couldn't help but exclaim, the boatman standing at the bow of the boat had died, and Yeluji and Yelusa were nowhere to be found, "Quick!
Duan Rubian frowned and wanted to rush back, but was pinned in place by Rong Qi, "Don't worry, they jumped down, and they are safe for the time being."
"I think we'd better jump off while we haven't been tied into a hornet's nest," Qinghe tore off his mask, took off his cumbersome coat, and looked around at the people on the boat, the boatman was already trembling with fright, and his words were not good, "This ...... What the hell is this ......?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Escape is important!" Qingtian glared at the boatman, covered his nose and rushed to the bow of the boat in three or two steps, and jumped down, Duan Rufang was protected by Rongqi, Qinghe naturally jumped down with Qingtian, but Duan Rufang bit his lower lip in embarrassment, "I don't think it's a way for us to go down......"
"At least there is a glimmer of life when you jump, standing here we can only wait for death" Rong Qi took the dart that came from it, put it on his chest, grabbed Duan Rufang's waist, and jumped off the boat.
The Minjiang River in winter is cold, the moment he just entered the water, Duan Rubian shivered, almost fainted, and only opened his eyes after half a moment, there are still many people under the water, and from time to time there are arrows shot under the water, Duan Rubian glanced at Yelusa, and looked at his embarrassed appearance and vetoed him to make this assassination plan, after all, he didn't need to gamble his personal safety into it.
Looking at their target just now, it is obvious that Yeluji and Yelusa, after the death of the two princes of Southern Chu, who will get the most benefits......
Duan Rubian suddenly realized, frowned, and wanted to swim in the direction of Yeluji, but his waist was tightly pulled and couldn't move for half a minute, Duan Rubian glared at Rong Qi angrily, but saw that the water around him was red, only to find that he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow when he jumped into the water, the arrow had been pulled out, but the wound couldn't stop oozing blood, Duan Rubian frowned, looking everywhere for something to bandage the wound, and caught a glimpse of the handkerchief on his waist, he didn't think about pulling it out, he wrapped the wound three or five times, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the worry that flashed in Duan Rubian's eyes just now, Rong Qi hooked the corners of his mouth, seeing that Duan Rubian couldn't cry or laugh, there seemed to be a big fluctuation around him, it seemed that the boatman couldn't hold his breath and came out of the water, and he could faintly hear his shouting at the bow of the boat, "Hey! I'm ...... with this matter."
Before he finished speaking, he fell back into the water with a thud, dyed red, Qinghe and Qingkong couldn't pull him, and seeing his body fall into the water was just disgusted, what a naïve guy, if he didn't listen to persuasion, he deserved to die!
There seem to be a lot of people on the shore, and now there is probably only a dead end for rushing out of the water, but it is impossible to hold your breath underwater for so long, and gradually Duan Rufang is a little unable to support it, and there is a heavy sound in the water behind him, Duan Rufang's beautiful eyes are enlarged, and Rong Qi glanced at each other, and an arrow slid out of his body in the next second, fortunately, Duan Rufang dodged in time.
There are also people under the water, and there are people on the water, and they are attacked from both sides.
Duan Rubian was worried, he was going to kill them all!
I couldn't stay under the water, so I could only go up and fight against the water, Duan Rubian gradually surfaced, using the boat full of arrows in front of him as cover, took a few breaths, Rong Qi floated out from the side, and it was also embarrassing, if they didn't have arrows in their hands, maybe some might escape, but the arrows in their hands were very bad for them.
Duan Rubian glanced at the shore, there was not even a person on the street, Duan Rubian sighed, I was afraid that if I saw this battle, I would report to the official or run for my life, looking at Mu Tuo who was unconscious by the sedan chair, Duan Rubian gritted his teeth, "I didn't knock him out if I knew it!"
Qingkong and Qinghe couldn't help but rush out, and the two of them were so embarrassed that they were both scratched on their arms.
"Shiziye, Miss, no, there are too many people" Qingkong said intermittently, "and the underwater ones just want to force us out, it seems that the shore is the main force"
After the other boat, Yelusa and Yeluji also surfaced, compared to this side, the two of them seemed to be more seriously injured, as Duan Rufang expected, their target this time was the two princes of Nanchu, but Duan Rubian still didn't understand, why did he do it at this juncture, he was already difficult to talk about Princess Shanling, and now he is doing this to destroy the relationship between Nanchu and Xiliang, and the battle of the Xiongnu will not be a loss again soon!
"You didn't notice anyone following you when you left the palace?" Yeluji glanced at Yelusa, gritted his teeth, and the tingling pain in his arm made him sober up a lot.
"No, the old emperor is very cunning!" Yelu squinted his eyes, he didn't realize that there would be such a change, it seems that Emperor Xiliang had already saved his mind to get rid of him! Both of them were injured. Unless someone else shows up at the moment, none of them can run.
At the end of the road, there was a sound of soldiers meeting each other not far away, someone was coming! Duan Rubian's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to see that the shore not far away was already covered with corpses, and the surface of the lake was also stained red with blood, I don't know which side was defeated, Duan Rubian and the others didn't dare to come out easily, but Yeluji breathed a sigh of relief after poking his head out, jumped to the top of the boat, and exchanged glances with the man in black who was in the lead, the man in black nodded, and turned to leave.
Yelu Ji looked at Duan Rubian and chuckled, "Come out, it's safe."
Yelusa also jumped on the bow of the boat, with a vague smile that didn't know the meaning, "There are really a lot of people around the eldest brother......
Yelusa could guess that his secret guard was probably intercepted halfway by Emperor Xiliang, as for that Mu Tuo, he was knocked down by Yeluji just now, looking at Yeluji's appearance just now, it seems that he is familiar with the person who saved them, so Yelusa is very curious about what kind of people are around Yeluji......
Just like the batch just now, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible!
Of course, Yelu Ji understood what Yelu Sa was thinking, smiled mysteriously and said nothing, Duan Rubian also got on the boat and barely found a place to stay, the two brothers seemed to have something to say, Duan Rubian simply ignored them, seeing that Rong Qi's injury was swollen, Duan Rubian frowned and picked up the oar, rowed to the shore, Qingtian and Qinghe stepped forward to help Duan Rubian, but she drank it, "You are all injured, don't be strong, I still did this"
Looking at Duan Rufang's boat heading towards the shore, Yelu Ji didn't bother to say anything to Yelu Sa, Yun Gong jumped onto Duan Rufang's boat, saw her rowing alone, and suddenly glared at Rong Qi with dissatisfaction, "How can you let Rufang row!"
Facing Yelu Ji's questioning, Rong Qi was obviously much calmer, Duan Rubian heard his words, and turned his head impatiently and glared at him, "You didn't see that he was injured!"
Duan Rubian was very dissatisfied with Yeluji's attitude towards Rong Qi just now, after all, Rong Qi was shot by an arrow just now because of her, Yeluji was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Rong Qi smiling at him, the corners of Yeluji's mouth twitched fiercely, sure enough, he did it on purpose!
Although Duan Rufang tried his best to paddle by himself, he was finally intercepted by Rong Qi, under the pretext that Qingtian and Qinghe were seriously injured and needed Duan Rufang to watch, Qingkong and Qinghe had to make a seriously injured appearance under Rong Qi's persecuted gaze, Duan Rubian had no choice but to let Yeluji help Rong Qi paddle, so that the smell of gunpowder on the bow of the boat was relatively strong, and the two men looked at each other and hated each other, and made trouble for a while.
After Duan Rubian did a simple bandaging for Qinghe and Qingtian, the boat docked, Gu Shen just arrived at this time, seeing Duan Rubian's injuries, he hurriedly asked Lang Zhong to treat a few people, and he took people to the other side of the lake to check the situation of the group of people.
Something so big happened, when Duan Rubian returned to Duan's mansion, everyone was present, the old lady's illness was not completely healed, and she could barely go to the ground, she was excited to see Duan Rubian coming back, and repeatedly chanted "God bless"
Duan Ruhua's eyes were still red, and she seemed to have been worried about Duan Rufang for a long time, but Duan Ruhua didn't ignore the chill in her eyes the moment she saw herself.
"It's good to be back, it's good if nothing happens" Shui patted the back of Duan Rufang's hand, and said with a smile, her long nails scraped the back of Duan Rufang's white hand, and even drew red marks, Duan Rubian smiled, pulled out his hand, and knelt down in the hall, "My daughter left home without permission and caused an accident, please punish my father"
Duan Linxiu twisted his eyebrows in embarrassment, sighed and waved his hand, "That's it, you are not lightly injured this time, you will be grounded for three days, punished for copying the "Female Commandment", and put it in the ancestral hall after copying."
"Yes" Duan Rufang said meekly, and was carried back to Loulan Pavilion, Duan Xuan sent Duan Rufang to the house, and then got up to leave, Duan Ruhua said something to Duan Rufang before leaving happily, looking at her smiling appearance when she left Loulan Pavilion, Qingkong frowned and asked Duan Rufang, but Duan Rubian didn't say a word.
No one was allowed to visit Duan Rufeng during the grounding period, so Duan Qingxuan, who was worried about his sister's body, went around several times outside the Loulan Pavilion, and finally was put into the courtyard by the guards guarding the door because of his persistence.
Duan Rubian was punishing the female commandment in the house, and when he learned that Duan Qingxuan had come in, a faint smile crossed his face, and he put away the pen and paper.
Duan Qingxuan quickly entered the house, until he confirmed that Duan Rufang's body was fine, he was relieved, Duan Ruqian asked people to make pastries, Duan Qingxuan didn't eat well recently, and his face was thin, which made Duan Rufang feel really distressed, and he heard from Qinghe that Duan Qingxuan was admitted to the White Horse Academy, and Duan Rufang was also very pleased.
After chatting with Duan Qingxuan, Loulan Pavilion returned to its previous coldness, the three-day grounding can calm Duan Rufang's heart a little, thinking of the lakeside assassination that day, Duan Rufang felt uneasy, as for Princess Shanling, Yelu Ji was also a little more vigilant, Feng Changqing had more things, and gave Feiying the medicine every day, and asked him to send it to the palace to Yelu Ji.
Feng Changqing's deception of Duan Rufang made Duan Rubian very unhappy, the so-called four thousand taels of gold, Duan Rubian didn't give any of them, but said that he had cooperated with Yingxiang Pavilion, and Duan Rubian gave Feng Changqing one-third of the money every month, until he received four thousand taels of gold.
After Feng Changqing heard it, he secretly swore that he would never dare to deceive this woman casually, Yingxiang Pavilion was long-cherished, and almost all the money from the profit was in Rong Qi's place, didn't this mean that he had to ask Rong Qi for accounts every month!
Thinking of Rong Qi, Duan Rubian realized that she hadn't figured out the deeds of him pretending to be Su Jinyu and herself, but some things in recent days had made Qingkong and Qinghe show their feet, Duan Rubian narrowed his eyes, and found someone to find out all this with him after the implementation.
In winter, the water of the Minjiang River was biting cold, and on the second day of the grounding, Duan Rufang was dizzy and fell in the Loulan Pavilion.
