Chapter 394: Undercurrent
Shangguan Li had noticed something was wrong with the water long before everyone noticed.
She reached out and pulled up the mysterious man who had just jumped off.
Tang Zi was also experienced after all, and although Shangguan Li's expression had not changed, his eyebrows and eyes had fallen a little and solemnly.
"How?"
Shangguan Li didn't answer his question, but asked.
"Don't come here, there is an undercurrent."
"What?"
is as calm as Tang Zi, and his face has changed slightly.
Undercurrents are generally created in places where the water is fast, and it is a small whirlpool of water. Although it looks gentle and harmless, it actually has a strong suction.
Once you step into it, you will be entangled in the water, grass, sediment and the like, no matter how good your water nature is, no matter how strong the light work is, it is basically a cool word when no one helps.
But before they could make any moves, they saw a small commotion on the shore, and then it fell silent.
The forbidden army, which had originally planned to rush here, also stopped, and the encirclement retreated back about half a meter.
"Well, my eyesight is pretty good."
Shangguan Li muttered.
I don't know who is on the shore.
"It should be Qiandu."
The people around him suddenly spoke, and when they saw Shangguan Li looking over, the black hood said lightly.
"My name is Tang Zi."
Shangguan Li nodded.
"Don't worry, I will guarantee your safety."
Shangguan Li: "......"
How could a person who had just lost to herself sound so unconvincing when she said this?
But Tang Zi's tone was serious, and he seemed to really think so.
Shangguan Li smiled, glanced at the boy next to him who didn't know what the undercurrent was and was scared silly, and said slowly.
"You don't have to protect them?"
The men suddenly looked at each other with a dumb eye.
Tang Zi shook his head.
The emperor's order is to keep an eye on the county lord, so his mission objectives only include the county lord. As for the others, there should be someone in charge.
Of course, no matter how stupid he is, he will not tell the truth in front of these people.
So he didn't say anything other than shaking his head.
Shangguan Li saw what he didn't say.
Smile coldly in my heart.
"County, county lord, is this undercurrent dangerous?"
Among the group of people, the little fat man was even less timid, and he didn't care about such a thing as face, so he asked first.
Although a few people next to him pretended to be calm, they actually pricked up their ears and listened.
Shangguan Li leaned against the edge of the round platform, and casually broke a wooden board from the driftwood and threw it over.
"See for yourself."
I saw that the originally extremely light plank only stayed on the surface of the water for a moment, as if it had been sucked down by an unknown force, and soon it spun and disappeared.
The little fat man's face turned pale.
"This, this, we're going to be fine, right?"
Shangguan Li shook his head.
"It should be fine, although this undercurrent is difficult to escape, but as long as it is not as good as water, it is fine. Oh, you have to thank me for bringing you together, otherwise if it were a single driftwood, it would have been a real thing. ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
The little fat man didn't hesitate at all when he heard this, so he nodded at Shangguan Li and got up. She doubted that if it weren't for the special circumstances now, he would be able to kneel for herself.
To be so timid and to participate in this kind of obviously dangerous competition, it seems that the pie painted by the emperor is indeed very tempting.
"So what do we do now?"
Another asked.
Now the people on the shore have pushed back some distance to avoid further expansion of the undercurrent. The priority that the forbidden army should ensure is definitely the safety of the emperor and other nobles.
So for the time being, no one cares about them at all.
Without waiting for Shangguan Li to speak, Tang Zi suddenly said.
"Just wait, as long as the undercurrent doesn't expand further, it's safest for us to stay where we are. And...... It's basically past the most dangerous time for the undercurrent. ”
"Ah, why is it safe to expand it?"
The little fat man asked innocently with a wink.
Tang Zi frowned, as if he hadn't thought of a wording for a while.
Fortunately, Shangguan Li answered for him.
"Because the most dangerous thing is never the oncoming sword, but the unknown in the shadows that people can't guard against, and ...... You don't realize your vulnerability. ”
Life is really not such a strong thing sometimes, and a random whirlpool, a small wound, may kill you.
These sons, who have never seen the wind and waves all year round, are especially like this, and they think that they have doctors and doctors when they are sick, and there are forbidden troops when they are in danger - oh, maybe she and Tang Zi are two "masters" to protect them.
Shangguan Li lowered his eyes slightly, feeling that the clothes on his body were almost wet, and the inner layer was tightly attached to the skin, feeling very uncomfortable.
The little fat man and the others all looked like they were in a fog when they heard this, only Tang Zi glanced at her with a little meaning.
The person who can say such things is not at all like a pampered county lord, nor is he like a little poor who has been abused all the year round. It's like someone who has experienced real storms and has become very calm.
Everyone was speechless for a moment, and Tang Zi suddenly asked.
"I heard that the county lord went out for a year in the year of Jilu, where did he go?"
Shangguan Li: "......"
Are the current intelligence agencies so straightforward in their inquiries?
She raised her head and met Tang Zi's eyes, her gaze was as clear as water, without a trace of impurities.
"I don't remember."
This is really not to blame Shangguan Li, the memory of the year of the original body is indeed very vague, and the more she tries to remember, the more she feels that her mind is blank.
It was as if the body was resisting the memory of that time, and it was as if it had been sealed by something.
The former is more likely, because Shangguan Li did not find that there were traces of other toxins and drugs on his body.
If it's the first case, something must have happened that was enough to break down the original body's spirit. Like being abandoned by the person who gave birth to the child?
Thinking about it, in this era, if a woman encounters this kind of thing, she will indeed feel that the sky has fallen.
But until everything is clear, she doesn't want to make up her mind for the time being. Situ once said that he had seen her in the city of red flowers outside the territory.
Maybe when I go to the west to see Shangguan Yan in the future, I will go to investigate and investigate, but now it can only be conjecture.
Tang Zi looked at Shangguan Li's clear gaze without shying away, and subconsciously felt that she should not be lying.
"Is it stimulated by something?"
"Who knows?"
Shangguan Li half-squatted down and said to a tall and thin man on the driftwood not far away.
"Hey, take over, give me the camellias."
The man was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the camellia, a symbol of victory, was actually hanging on the edge of the driftwood under his buttocks.
It is also for this reason that it was not swept into the bottom of the lake by the undercurrent.
