Chapter 166: Escape to the Sea
"I'll go with him!"
A simple and plain sentence, the voice was not high, but it was like a thunderstorm on the ground, which made Ding Li and the others stunned in place, and everyone's eyes looking at Xia Qing were full of incredulity.
Zhang Mingzhi's sudden confession just now was already very surprising to everyone, and even now Ding Li and others can't think that the confession that happened just now is true, but now Xia Qing's words are like a slap in the face to wake everyone up.
No one knew what Xia Qing thought, and no one could have predicted in advance that Xia Qing would suddenly make such a decision, everything was hidden deep in Xia Qing's heart, and even at this moment, Xia Qing hid the sudden idea very well, even under the burning gaze of everyone, Xia Qing did not show the slightest strange expression.
The time in Ding Mansion is not long, but Xia Qing has found more and more that she even knows very well that she will never be able to break into the life of Ding Li and Liu Sheng, she understands very well that Ding Li does not have any feelings between men and women for herself, only the original mentality of hoeing the strong and helping the weak, even if the two met many times later, and even stayed in Ding Mansion because of Liu Sheng, Xia Qing did not feel that Ding Li had any change in her feelings for herself, even if it was only a cent, she never had.
For Xia Qing, a woman who was born in a dusty place, even if her heart is full of good hopes for the future, the experience of being born in the dust makes her know how to accept the reality in front of her, especially those realities that she is completely powerless to change.
And right now, what is in front of Xia Qing is undoubtedly a good opportunity, an opportunity for her to get rid of her illusions about Ding Li and re-enter another life.
"Being with someone who doesn't love you, even if it's day and night, may only get more and more pain and disappointment! Instead of this, it is better to try to accept a person who is willing to love you, even if there is no end in the end, but at least you will not be too painful and disappointed. Perhaps, you can also get unexpected gains! ”
has been in the dust since childhood, although she has always been just an artist who does not sell her body, but the feelings that happen around her in her eyes have made Xia Qing have an awareness that is completely inconsistent with her age. Silently repeating the decision she had made in her heart, Xia Qing stretched out her hand again to Zhang Mingzhi, who was full of shock, and clasped her fingers with the other party again, when a pair of indifferent beautiful eyes looked at Zhang Mingzhi, her narrow eyelashes continued to tremble, and almost invisible tears were stained from her eyes.
In an instant, Zhang Mingzhi's dark eyes suddenly became deeper, and the color of despair that had been wandering in his eyes quickly sank, replaced by excitement that quickly floated. I don't know if it's because of the pain of the wound or the excitement in my heart, the whole arm that is interlocked with Xia Qing's ten fingers is shaking constantly.
"Righteousness! Let's go! Seeing this, Ding Li's eyes, who were looking at the two of them, gradually rose with relief, and Zhang Yurou, who was worried about his brother's life, stepped forward decisively to urge, and his gaze at Xia Qing was always a little abnormal, and there was even a hint of hostility in it.
Zhang Yurou, whether it is temperament or experience, is far from being able to compare with Liu Sheng, and her innate keen observation as a woman is even more intriguing, although she has only seen Xia Qing for a short time, but Zhang Yurou's intuition has already sounded the alarm, Xia Qing, who is with Liu Sheng, seems to be a little drunk and does not mean to drink.
Zhang Yurou took off a piece of jade pendant that she had been wearing since she was a child from her neck, although she was reluctant in her heart, she only glanced at the jade pendant lying in her hand, and then handed it to Xia Qing, and then turned her head and told Zhang Mingzhi with concern: "Shouyi, leave immediately after getting on the boat!" Go to sea, no one can do anything to you! Go to Dongying Island Country, I have reliable friends there, and our Zhang's sea ships often go there, and any news from Guangzhou can be quickly delivered to you! ”
"Don't worry, I understand." Zhang Mingzhi nodded, one arm was already on Xia Qing's shoulder, although his face was a little pale, but after grinning, it looked like that smile was very happy.
"Aguda! Go with the second brother, you can't stay, and the second brother also needs someone to take care of him on the way! Ding Li walked to Aguda's side, and dragged the trembling Tian Gaolang in his hand in front of him, and raised his head at Aguda without saying anything, without giving the other party a chance to explain or refuse: "Quick, you get on the boat first, arrange it, you must set off immediately!" ”
"Li, Brother Li." Aguda glanced at Ding Li with a hesitant expression, but he also knew that this was not the time to be reckless, and then turned around and ran towards the sea boat.
"Ali, you can go with you, you can't stay here." The injured Zhang Mingzhi became weaker and weaker, grinning at Ding Li with difficulty, trying to persuade Ding Li to escape to the sea with him, but Ding Li shook his head slightly, smiled faintly, clasped the five fingers on Tian Gaolang's shoulder with force, and said fearlessly: "I can't go, I still have to check, who was the person who wanted to sneak attack and shoot me just now!" ”
"Ziyi! Let's go with you! At this time, Yang Hongwen finally had the opportunity to speak, stepped forward, with a worried face, then looked at Tian Gaolang again, gritted his teeth and continued to add: "They have no right to arrest me, and they can't do anything to me, after all, I am from Jiedu Mansion, and there are brothers from my bandit army outside the dock!" ”
"Needless to say, I'm not leaving!" Ding Li shook his head a little stubbornly and directly rejected Yang Hongwen's kindness, and then without waiting for the other party to speak again, he suddenly turned his head and glared at Qin Mo and shouted in a deep voice: "Qin Mo! Do you want me to repeat the military order just now? This is the port of Fuxu, not a place for women!! ”
After saying that, Ding Li suddenly pulled Tian Gaolang and walked towards the crossbowmen around him, and at the same time shouted violently, and the whole person suddenly became murderous: "Get out!" It's a big deal that the jade is burning today! Get out of the way! ”
Immediately afterwards, Ding Li reminded everyone behind him loudly without looking back: "Second brother! Xia Qing! Embarkation! Qin Mo, Saiyi! Take Sheng'er and leave! ”
Under the slanting sun, the sea breeze pushed waves of huge waves to hit the shore, and the salty sea breeze seemed to be mixed with a stream of blood, but it did not make people feel the slightest discomfort, but made everyone more sober and calm.
Liu Sheng didn't want to leave, but when he wanted to run to find Ding Li, he was grabbed by Zhang Yurou, and he couldn't help but drag Liu Sheng tightly to keep up with Qin Mo and Saidgaard. And at the same time, Zhang Yurou whispered a few words in Liu Sheng's ear, and then Liu Sheng stopped struggling, but just let Zhang Yurou pull him away, but he always looked back at the unusually tall figure under the slanting sun.
As the cables on the anchor posts on the shore were put away by the sailors on board, the huge sea ship gradually drifted off the shore. On the deck, Zhang Mingzhi did not immediately treat the wound, but wore a big coat, and with the support of Aguda and Xia Qing, he bent his body slightly, looking at the figure on the shore that always had his back to him.
No one said a word from beginning to end, Yang Hongwen did not leave, but he always remained silent and stood behind Ding Li, but the horizontal knife he was wearing had been unsheathed, and under the pale golden sun, the blade was shiny, unusually cold, but it seemed that Ding Li in front of him was a little thin and lonely on the huge dock.
The sound of the waves gradually became louder, and the sound of slapping on the shore became clearer and clearer, and the sea boat that Zhang Mingzhi was riding on was far away from the near sea, and even after Ding Li turned his head to look, he could only see the sea boat floating in the South China Sea, but Ding Li's eyes were a little more strange, and he seemed to be able to see Zhang Mingzhi and others who had gone away on the boat, and it seemed that he couldn't see anything at all.
"Dang Chang Chang!!"
With a crisp metal sound, the short dagger in Ding Li's hand finally lay on the ground after drawing a graceful arc, and in an instant, the coldness of the short dagger seemed to be melted by the residual red sunset, shrouded in a faint orange slanting light, and the short dagger on the ground was like Ding Li, who was defenseless at the moment.
"Whew! Whew. ”
Tian Gaolang was quick-eyed, and when he felt that the murderous aura wrapped around him suddenly disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he gasped for breath, dragging his two soft legs and rushing towards his group of subordinates like crazy.
But Tian Gaolang, who came back to his senses quickly, did not forget the original intention of this trap, and while escaping, he kept reminding the crossbowmen who brought him: "Don't release arrows, don't release arrows!" Catch it alive! To live!! ”
Tian Gaolang's order made Yang Hongwen's heart loosen, and the five fingers that held the horizontal knife finally loosened, Ding Li's actions just now also made Yang Hongwen feel a little relieved, but he still reminded Ding Li's back with a solemn face: "Ziyi! Hold on, I'll go back to Guangzhou Mansion immediately! In any case, we must let Li Jiedu and Uncle Zhang find a way! You saved righteousness, and they will not sit idly by! ”
Watching hundreds of crossbowmen slowly move closer to him, Ding Li's face was fearless, and there was a clear mockery in his eyes that kept turning and sweeping towards everyone, as the crossbowmen became more and more cautious and cautious faces in their eyes, Ding Li even began to slowly hook the corners of his mouth, and his slightly narrowed eyes showed contempt.
As early as just now, Ding Li had already figured out one thing, Tian Gaolang's purpose was by no means as simple as wanting to kill Zhang Mingzhi, and Ding Li could also figure it out, if Zhang Mingzhi died for this, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce would definitely do its best to retaliate. And if Zhang Mingzhi does not die, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce needs to do its best to calm down this matter, and in this way, no matter what conditions and requirements Tian Gaolang's forces propose, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce must agree, because it is related to Zhang Mingzhi's life and death in the future.
I don't know if I was worried that Ding Li would resist desperately, or if Tian Gaolang had secretly given an order, after the crossbowman was only less than ten steps away from Ding Li, several of Tian Gaolang's personal soldiers suddenly rushed towards Ding Li with horizontal knives, but the next move was also very polite, except for two of them smashing the back of the knife on Ding Li's body a few times, they didn't make too much of a move, which also made Yang Hongwen finally relieved.
In the blink of an eye, Ding Li was tied up by Wuhuada, and Tian Gaolang pouted in the distance, glancing at Ding Li's henchmen, and then glanced at Ding Li's reassurance coldly, and the viciousness in his eyes was not concealed at all.
