With the crisp birdsong in the early morning, Qiu Yinxue woke up from her sleep.

After waking up, Qiu Yinxue first looked sideways at the entrance of the cave, and then got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

The morning light, through the leaves, through the mist in the forest that seemed to be the only thing that should be when it became an immortal, sprinkled on Su Jiulin's face with closed eyes. He eventually fell asleep anyway. On the grass on the side, there were still a few petals, as if they couldn't bear the weight of the fog and frost, and a few drops of dew rolled down.

Qiu Yinxue squatted in front of Su Jiulin, tilting her neck, holding her head with both hands, and looked at Su Jiulin like this.

Looking at it, Qiu Yinxue suddenly wanted to laugh, but fortunately she covered her mouth in time so that she didn't laugh out loud.

But just when she was glad that she didn't wake up Su Jiulin, Su Jiulin still woke up, and saw Qiu Yinxue smiling. Su Jiulin realized that he was asleep.

Obviously said that he would guard the entrance of the cave, but he fell asleep, Su Jiulin was very embarrassed at the moment, and hurriedly got up and bent down to apologize to Qiu Yinxue. Qiu Yinxue gave Su Jiulin a salute back, saying that Su Jiulin had worked hard, and then asked Su Jiulin about his injury, and Su Jiulin said that his injury had been better than half of it.

As for why his injuries were healed so quickly, Su Jiulin himself couldn't figure it out, so he didn't say much. Then the two of them went to find the way to the mountains and forests.

Su Jiulin didn't use much money on the way from Qingcheng Mountain, and he usually slept in a place like a beggar's nest and a broken temple, and he still had more than ten taels of silver on his body. He was going to buy a carriage to take Qiu Yinxue to Ningbo, after all, there was a weak woman by his side now, and he thought that he couldn't let her walk like him.

At this time, in the helm of the Tianyuan Gate of Dengzhou Mansion, the director Gao Lu hurriedly ran into Qiu Gongquan's room.

"Door master, Guangshan County rudder urgent report! A disciple saw an emergency distress signal in the gang in Huanggang County, and when he passed, he found that Elder Wu was dead......"

Qiu Gongquan stood up when he heard this, and said sharply: "Miss! ”

"Nowhere to be seen!" Gao Lu still bent over.

"How can it be!" Qiu Gongquan smashed the table with one palm, "Except for the Ningbo rudder, there are no more than ten people in the whole gang who know about Xue'er's existence, and few people know about going to Sanaba this time!" Check it out for me right away! Distribute Cher's portrait to the rudders, and be sure to find Cher! ”

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Qiu Gongquan called Gao Lu, who was about to go out, back, "You help me repair the book, send someone to bring it to King Ning, and ask him to send someone to help me find it." ”

Gao Lu answered and went out again.

Looking at Qiu Gongquan again, he already showed murderous eyes. It turns out that Qiu Yinxue is Qiu Gongquan's youngest daughter!

At this time, Qiu Yinxue and the two saw a woodcutter chopping wood in the mountain forest. Su Jiulin then stepped forward to ask if there were any horse households nearby, but he was told that in recent years, he has been strictly controlled, and he is not allowed to sell to private individuals, and it is a capital crime to buy and sell privately.

"Even in a house like ours, there is only one horse, and the government has come to register those who usually bring it to carry food. If it turns out that it is inexplicably gone, it is also a crime of killing the head. ”

This made Su Jiulin very difficult, but he didn't expect that he couldn't buy a carriage even if he had money, and asked, "Uncle, is there really no other way?" ”

The woodcutter thought for a moment and said, "Then do you know the people from King Jing's Mansion?" This is the fief of King Jing, and there is a horse team in King Jing's mansion, and the government can't control it there. ”

Su Jiulin and Qiu Yinxue, you look at me, I look at you, neither of them knows King Jing.

The woodcutter saw Su Jiulin's sad face, and thought of a way for them, telling them that after going out along the mountain road from here, there is Taihu County less than a hundred miles to the east, which is a gathering place for caravans coming and going from east to west, and there may be caravans going to Zhejiang, let them try to see if they can meet and then sit on the way.

After Su Jiulin and the others thanked the woodcutter, they went east.

It didn't take long for the two of them to go out of the mountain forest along the mountain road, and it happened to be a tea house as soon as they came out of the mountain forest. The two of them, who had been hungry for a long time, immediately asked for eight steamed buns.

Su Jiulin, who was eating steamed buns, suddenly slowed down.

It turned out that he found that since the two of them sat down, the two people wearing hats at a table not far from the left front just bowed their heads and drank tea and never spoke again. At first, Su Jiulin thought that he and Qiu Yinxue were talking and disturbing their conversation, but just now Su Jiulin suddenly glanced down at the shoes of those two!

It was the kind of wool he had seen the masked man wear yesterday that seemed to be made of some kind of animal fur! In this way, these two people are at least with them, if not yesterday's masked people!

"But they seem to be concerned that there are a lot of people passing by here, and they seem to be afraid of being found out. And they obviously recognized Qiu Yinxue and me, and knew that I would not be able to take it for a while, so they didn't do it for a long time. ”

After such an analysis, Su Jiulin was able to conclude that these two people must be two of the six people yesterday.

Su Jiulin was lowering his head at the moment, and he had already guessed that the six people who were guarding yesterday must have been guarding a few roads out of this mountain forest, and these two people were guarding here.

Then, Su Jiulin looked around again, and found that there were open places on three sides, and if he escaped with Qiu Yinxue, he would definitely be caught up, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, one of the two lowered his hat and bowed his head and left, while the other was still sitting and drinking tea.

"It's over, I must have notified the others." Thinking about it, Su Jiulin looked at the remaining one who was still drinking tea again, and became worried, "The remaining person must be stronger than the one I fought yesterday, what should I do?" ”

At this time, Su Jiulin, who was carelessly chewing steamed buns, also attracted Qiu Yinxue's attention and asked, "Master Su, what's wrong with you?" ”

Hearing this, the rest of the people at the table stopped the teacup held in mid-air, and just happened to be seen by Su Jiulin, and his heart suddenly lifted.

"That's... I..."When Su Jiulin was hesitating, he suddenly remembered that the woodcutter said that this was King Jing's territory, and immediately patted his thigh, "Oops! I was in too much of a hurry to leave the jade pendant at King Jing's place! ”

Qiu Yinxue was stunned with a big mouthful of steamed buns in her mouth, unable to understand what Su Jiulin was saying.

"Fortunately, we didn't come out for long, and King Jing was still in the woods. Sister, go and help me get it back. Su Jiulin said as he gave Qiu Yinxue a look. Su Jiulin knew that the man wearing the hat would definitely not let the two of them go together, so he decided to try to see if he could let Qiu Yinxue go first.

Qiu Yinxue was still very smart, and followed the direction of Su Jiulin's hint and glanced at the person wearing the hat, although she didn't recognize that person was yesterday's masked man, but she also knew that Su Jiulin meant that person was not a good person, and then immediately turned around and said, "Is it really not on your body?" That must have fallen to King Jing, okay, I'll look for it now. ”

With that, Qiu Yinxue stood up and walked towards the forest. And Su Jiulin kept staring at the man wearing the hat.

Suddenly, Qiu Yinxue, who hadn't gone far, walked back again, took three steamed buns and put them in the baggage, took another steamed bun and put it in her mouth and took a bite, chewing and saying, "King Jing said last time that he likes to eat steamed buns, I'll bring him two." ”

Su Jiulin was originally very nervous, and almost laughed out loud when he was teased by Qiu Yinxue. And Qiu Yinxue had no choice, she was hungry all night before she ate a steamed bun, she was not full at all, and after taking the steamed buns, she walked straight to the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, the man wearing the hat didn't know whether he believed that King Jing was in the mountains and forests or saw that Su Jiulin didn't leave, and didn't follow, and Su Jiulin was also relieved.

At this time, the steamed buns in front of Su Jiulin were also finished, and he knew that he could not delay any longer, and if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of that person, and if the six people gathered, it would be really difficult for him to fly.

"Oops! Why hasn't it been so long? Forget it, I'll go check it out. ”

With that, Su Jiulin got up and walked towards the mountain forest, squinting to see if anyone was following behind him as he walked. Just as he was about to walk into the forest, thinking that the man had not followed, the man slowly got up and followed.

Su Jiulin secretly said that it was not good.

But before he could figure out how to deal with it, he saw Qiu Yinxue.

Qiu Yinxue didn't go far, she was hiding behind a tree about six or seven feet away in front of him, and she was poking her head out to look at him at this moment. Su Jiulin hurriedly gave her a look.

Qiu Yinxue was nibbling on steamed buns, and she also caught a glimpse of the person behind Su Jiulin, so she immediately hid behind a tree again.

"What to do? What should I do? Su Jiulin was very anxious at this time.

But the waves were uneven and the waves rose again, and when Su Jiulin peeked back, he found that there were already six people, all wearing hats. Then several people didn't know what to say, and one left first, followed by five others.

"It's over, I'm afraid that this time King Jing is really in the forest to save us......" Su Jiulin secretly complained.

"King Jing?!"

Suddenly, Su Jiulin caught a glimpse of a man of his age squatting on the ground in the forest on the right, dressed gorgeously, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Su Jiulin glanced back again, thinking that there was a high probability that he would not be able to run away today anyway, so he decided to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, ready to sing the 'empty city plan'.

After thinking about it, Su Jiulin no longer hesitated, and immediately walked towards the man who was squatting on the ground.

"Little Prince!"

Hearing the words "Little Prince", the five people behind Su Jiulin all stopped.

The man who was squatting on the ground in the forest raised his head and looked, and saw Su Jiulin walking towards him, stood up and was about to speak, but was dragged forward by Su Jiulin.

"Who are you? Where are you taking me? The man was confused, thinking that he was so old, he had never heard of abducting and trafficking adults, "I still have something to do, and my father will beat me before I finish it." My basket ......"

And Su Jiulin continued to walk forward with the man, and deliberately said loudly: "With me, the prince will not beat the little prince!" ”

At this time, the five people behind Su Jiulin all discussed.

"Is this really the little prince?"

"I don't know."

"I haven't seen it."

"Forget it, if King Jing is really here, then there must be masters around. Let's stay a little further away and be cautious. ”

With that, the five of them ran into the woods on either side.

At this time, the gorgeously dressed man had been carried by Su Jiulin for a short time, and said impatiently: "I said brother, I really have something to do, if you want to play, let's play later, okay?" ”

Su Jiulin lowered his voice: "Little brother, do me a favor, someone behind me is chasing me, I said that you are the little prince, they don't dare to follow." ”

"Where's anyone?" The man looked behind, but he didn't see a single figure, "If you don't let me call someone anymore!" ”

Seeing that Su Jiulin had nothing to do with the man, the matter was about to be exposed, but fortunately, the two had walked in front of Qiu Yinxue, Qiu Yinxue heard their conversation, got out from the side, and told the man that the two of them were really being hunted down, and then told him what happened yesterday as he walked.

In fact, Su Jiulin also knew that if he told the man the truth, he would definitely be more afraid, and it was not good to say that the next five people would kill him together because the man knew the truth, but at this time, he had to say it.

After listening to Qiu Yinxue, the man looked behind him suspiciously, and then looked at Su Jiulin and the others.

"Forget it, you two don't look like bad people, come with me!" So saying, the man led the two men and began to walk around the woods.

After a while, the three of them circled to the river, where a small boat was parked.

"Get on board!"

The man beckoned Su Jiulin and the two to get on the boat, and he had already learned from the conversation that the other party was not familiar with water. When all three were in the boat, the man propped up the boat and headed down the river.

At this time, the five people who followed Su Jiulin also saw the three of them on the boat, and they knew that they had been fooled, but they were not in a hurry. One of them whistled, and in a few moments a small boat came up from upstream.

An old man on the boat was propping up the boat, and there was another man, wearing a hat on his head and wool shoes on his feet, who was the one who had left earlier. He was crouching on the boat, holding the edge of the boat with both hands. In a few moments, the boat came to the shore where the five men were.

After everyone got on the boat, they immediately scolded the old man to chase Su Jiulin and their boat, and then they all squatted down and grabbed the edge of the boat.

Su Jiulin was relieved after getting on the boat, but when he looked back and saw that they also had a boat, he suddenly panicked again: "Little brother! They also have boats! Hurry up! ”

The man was propping up the boat, and when he heard this, he glanced back, as if he didn't see clearly, and then narrowed his eyes and looked again, and then turned his head away. But the boat did not hold on faster and faster.

At this time, the old man on the back boat was holding on more and more slowly, and talked about the price with the six people.

"You have to give the money first! The 100 yuan given in front was rowed to the other side, and I didn't say that I had to go down. The old man looked like he would stop holding up at any time if he didn't give money, "I don't know how long the boat will last, you have to give me at least one or two or three dollars." ”

The other six people on the boat were also angry, knowing that the old man was sitting on the ground and starting the price, but although Su Jiulin's boat in front was not fast, at least it was still moving, and their boat was not moving now. Seeing that Su Jiulin's boat was getting farther and farther, one person got up and took out two taels of silver and threw it to the old man, and then squatted down again, "Hurry up and hold the boat!" ”

After the old man had collected the money, he began to prop up the boat again.

"Old man! Can you hold on faster! "It's already a little distance, but now the old man is still slow to collect the money, and several people are very anxious.

"My old arms and legs, forgive me."

The six of them couldn't do anything about him, but fortunately, although the old man was slow, Su Jiulin and their boat were even slower.

"Besides, I know the kid in front of me and know where his family is, and if the monk can't run the temple, you just have to rest assured." The old man said unhurriedly, "By the way, why are you chasing them?" ”

Hearing this, one person turned his head sideways: "Old man, if you want to live a few more years, you will ...... less."

Before the man finished speaking, a person next to him raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and then immediately withdrew his hand and grabbed the edge of the boat, and said, "Uncle, the girl in front of us is our young lady, and she eloped with that young man, and we are here to persuade her to go back." ”

"Oh... That's right..."

At this time, the distance between the two ships was getting closer and closer.

"Little brother! They're catching up! Su Jiulin looked at the boat behind him from time to time, "Little brother, if you are tired, I will come, I will support the boat." ”

The man ignored Su Jiulin.

And the old man in the back is now suddenly in spirit, and the one that holds it is called a fast, and after a while, the old man's boat is only four or five zhang away from Su Jiulin's boat.

However, as the boat got faster, it also shook bigger, and it kept rocking from side to side.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you," the old man began to work harder, but not to push forward, but to support left and right, the boat shook even more, and the six of them couldn't catch it, "I not only know him, I also know his mother." ”

After speaking, the old man increased the strength of the left and right supports again, one person did not grasp it and fell directly into the water, and before the other five people reacted, the old man jumped into the water with a "plop".

Su Jiulin and Qiu Yinxue were already stunned.

Suddenly, a head sprang out of the water in front of Qiu Yinxue, it was the old man just now.

Qiu Yinxue was still stunned, the old man grabbed the edge of the boat with one hand, and climbed up with a "Teng", and his movements were very skillful.

Su Jiulin also reacted, pulled Qiu Yinxue over, and then drew his sword to prepare to resist.

"Don't! This is my dad! ”

"Daddy?" Su Jiulin and Qiu Yinxue looked at the man in front of them with disbelief at the same time.

The old man climbed onto the boat and was fine, but the six people in the boat behind him were miserable.

One of them had already fallen into the water, and when the man fell into the river, he threw himself so hard that he finally caught the rocking edge of the boat, and with the result that the whole boat overturned.

Now there were six people in the water, five of them were holding the capsized boat, and one was being held by one of the five. The six of them drifted in the river like this. The hats of the six people had all fallen into the water, revealing their true faces, but Su Jiulin didn't know any of them.
