The four boats rode the wind and waves, all the way west out of the Qingshui River and into the vast Orange River.

Li Xiaohu thought in a trance that the ship had sailed into the sea, and he couldn't see the other side of the east side of the Chengjiang River. This is still the case in clear weather with high visibility, which shows that the Orange River is really magnificent and wide.

At this time, everyone also came out of the cabin.

Luo Yuan ordered the banquet to be moved outside, and the dancers and musicians also moved to the deck, and an open-air feast on the Orange River officially opened.

Zhao Xiaomiao was too small, she was amazed when she saw everyone looking at the magnificent Orange River, and she also jumped vigorously to look at the distant river scenery. She was tired of jumping and simply yelled and climbed onto Luo Yuan's neck.

Zhao Xiaomo stopped her with her eyes several times, but unfortunately her last majesty as a sister was lost at this moment. Zhao Xiaomiao pretended not to see it, and vigorously instructed Luo Yuan to walk around the deck. They are "willing to fight and one is willing to suffer", Zhao Xiaomiao was happy, and Luo Yuan was happy.

Time flies by as everyone eats, drinks and plays, and I don't know when the sun sets in the west and becomes big and red. Li Xiaohu stood up from his seat and looked into the distance, and was shocked all of a sudden. The whole river surface is orange-red, which is very visually impactful.

The sunset over the river is orange and red.

Li Xiaohu sighed in his heart: "No wonder it's called Orange River, it turns out to be like this." ”

Just when Li Xiaohu was enjoying this spectacle, Chu Yuji sneakily bumped him with his elbow and said, "Big brother, I'm being targeted. ”

Without waiting for Li Xiaohu to ask, Chu Yuji pulled him into the cabin.

"It's still that kid, on the boat behind him, and he just snoed at me secretly, but fortunately I was alert to find him. ”

"Are they your enemies?"

"The enemies of the Chu family are all outside the North Gate. Besides, it was not my father Chu Nanfeng who sent them, to be honest, there was no grudge between us and them. ”

"Maybe you scared that kid last night, right?" Li Xiaohu felt that Chu was a little fussed, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

Chu Shuji sighed, and stopped talking.

Li Xiaohu saw that he was sullen and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, since you call me big brother, I will naturally stand on your side." ”

Only then did Chu Jiji say: "Brother Tanuki, I'm in big trouble, if you get involved, I'm afraid you will be implicated." ”

"To be honest with you, although my eldest brother and I have a mediocre cultivation, the strength of the family and the strength of the division are ranked first in the Great Wei, even if you provoke the descendants of the royal family and commit the crime of rebellion, I will try my best to help you settle it. Li Xiaohu put his hands on Chu Yuji's shoulders and said seriously.

When Li Xiaohu said the word "rebellion", Chu was shocked.

Li Xiaohu thought he didn't believe it, so he continued: "Don't believe it, if you can't do it, I won't have the face to be your big brother again." ”

He thought to himself, it is estimated that it was Chu Yuji's stinky temper that provoked the son of a powerful person, which was not a matter of a few casual words for His Royal Highness.

"Can the crime of rebellion really be settled?" asked Chu Yuji carefully.

Li Xiaohu's heart froze, and he was surprised: "Is it really a rebellion?"

Chu shook his head helplessly and said, "It's about the same, I participated in the assassination of Her Royal Highness Princess Dawei." ”

"Assassinate the princess!"

The assassination of Her Royal Highness Princess Dawei, isn't it the assassination of Li Muya in Longmian Mountain!

Chu Yuji's heart was anxious, he stepped forward to cover Li Xiaohu's mouth, and whispered, "Big brother, be quiet." ”

Li Xiaohu took a deep breath, calmed the shock in his heart, and asked, "Does your father want to rebel? Why would he let you assassinate Li ...... Your Royal Highness, Princess?"

If this matter is really related to Chu Nanfeng, the general of the North Gate Gate, Li Xiaohu must find a way to inform Li Tiannuo of this matter as soon as possible.

Chu Yuji's mind had been vigilant all around, and he didn't notice Li Xiaohu's strange appearance, he sighed: "I fell for someone else's tricks. They wanted to drag the Chu family into the water, in a vain attempt to threaten the Chu family to open the north gate and release those exiled thieves, so that the world could be in chaos. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He couldn't imagine that if Chu was a thief, as the eldest brother of the thief, he could live by his side for a few days.

Chu Yuji continued: "I'm not afraid that those two people are enemies, I'm afraid that they are spies of the imperial court. ”

"A young man and a child?" Li Xiaohu questioned.

"Who knows? It is said that there are many strange people in the Black Soul Guard, some of whom look like children, but they are actually in their thirties, and they are the best at disguise as spies. ”

"I see that the court didn't know about your assassination of the princess, otherwise the city would have been full of storms a long time ago. ”

"This is also what I think is strange, when I killed Qin Han, he said that as soon as he died, the news of my assassination of the princess would immediately spread throughout the capital. ”

"Qin Han was killed by you?" As soon as the words came out, Li Xiaohu realized that something was wrong, so he changed his words and remedied: "Qin Han is the one who designed you? I heard that the imperial court is still hunting him down." ”

"Yes, that's him. ”

"That young man and child are not from the imperial court, I just came from the capital, there is no news about you over there, I think Qin Han is bluffing you. ”

Chu Yuji held his chin with his hand and said, "Big brother, do you think they will be Qin Han's people?"

Li Xiaohu replied: "It's hard to say, let's find an opportunity to test it." ”

"I think eight or nine are not far from ten, they must be the remnants of the Golden Knife Village. Chu Yu hated and hated.

"Yes or no, think of a countermeasure and try it. ”

......

When night fell, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. The boat slowed down and continued to sail through the river by moonlight.

"It's almost Shijiang Zhu ahead, leaning on the east side. The guy on the boat shouted.

Stone Jiangzhu is a small island in the Orange River, because there are many strange-shaped stones on it, so it is named Stone Jiangzhu.

The "Breaking Wave" turned its rudder to the left, and the ships behind followed the Breaking Wave to turn the rudder together. Ahead, the water was much faster due to the narrowing of the waterway, and the speed of the ship suddenly increased.

Li Xiaohu and Chu Yuji, who were discussing how to test the Qin brothers in the room, felt the changes in the hull of the ship, and were curious, so they came out to take a look.

The crew at the helm said to them: "Two sons, we are now passing through the Shijiang Zhu, the river channel is narrowing and the water flow is rapid, and the speed of the water is naturally faster. It's okay, you can rest assured. ”

Li Xiaohu saw a pitch-black land in front of him by the moonlight, standing alone in the middle of the river, highlighting a bit of mystery. This small island in the river is densely wooded, and many tall stone piles can be faintly seen.

Everything was as usual, just as Li Xiaohu was about to return to the cabin, Chu Yuji suddenly pulled him aside.

Then Li Xiaohu heard the sound of a metal weapon breaking through the air, followed by a terrible scream. He looked up to see that the crew at the helm had been pierced by a fiery arrow, and he fell to the ground and died.

"It's coming from the shore, let's get into the cabin. Chu Yuji looked at him and said.
