129 This fish is not another
The scorching sunlight that shone straight straight through made Jade Dust feel more and more that everything was unreal at this time, and even made her unable to tell whether she was in a dream for a while.
She walked out a little slowly, step by step, looking at the familiar and long-lost everything outside the mansion, her eyes were a little dazed.
The location of the Chongyue Eldest Princess's Mansion is superior, in addition to the quietness in the middle of the noisy, there is also the Xiqu River, which is convenient for getting water, passing through the back of the mansion, and the sunlight falls on the river surface at this time, and the sparkling waves move slightly with the wind.
The jade shavings walked forward, and the person who had not been out for more than ten years nervously grabbed the edge of his sleeve at this time, and when he looked around, he muttered to himself: "Shuiyunlou...... Shuiyun Tower is in the north, north ......"
She seemed to be a little confused for a moment where the north was, and stood there looking around.
Suddenly, there was a faint hint of sobriety in her eyes, and this sobriety made her uneasy again, and she once again had the intention of retreating.
No......
She probably shouldn't have come out!
Someone was going to kill her...... Someone must be going to kill her!
But she saw His Highness's code...... She needs to go to Shuiyun Tower to find answers!
Jade Dust stood there, only to feel that the world was spinning, and her eyes hesitated repeatedly, but she didn't know that a pair of cold eyes were staring at her in the dark.
Not far away, there is a camphor tree that is nearly 100 years old, and its thick green canopy stretches luxuriantly, casting a huge shade.
Among the dense foliage, there was a man hiding at this moment, and the man silently picked up a crossbow machine, on which was not an ordinary crossbow arrow but a steel needle glowing with cold light.
This needle is highly poisonous, and when it enters a person's body, it will make a person quickly lose the ability to move.
The delirious woman who came out of the eldest princess's mansion would die quietly if she fell on this hot afternoon, and was destined to not even let out a scream.
Such a death that does not make any movement, even if someone traces it afterwards, it will definitely not be able to find his master.
Now, all he had to do was aim at the delirious woman, pull the crossbow machine, and he could finally complete this long errand that had lasted twelve years.
This seemingly ordinary midsummer afternoon was destined to become uncommon because the woman chose to walk out of the eldest princess's mansion.
The man moved the crossbow in his hand and began to try to target his prey.
β¦β¦
Chang Suining returned to the mansion and first asked Ah Che and Ah Zhi if they had been back today.
The female envoy in the courtyard shook her head: "Back girl, I haven't seen Sister Azhi come back yet." β
Chang Suining glanced at the sun that was going west, and while walking into the house, he explained to Xi'er: "Recently, Azhi and Ache have really suffered from staying outside, so go back and let the kitchen boil some drinks to reduce the heat and bring them with them." β
As soon as the jade shavings don't appear, they need to keep guarding secretly according to the plan, and there is no better way now.
Not only does she need the jade shavings to come out of the eldest princess's mansion, but she also needs to snatch the life of the jade shavings from the people who may also be secretly staring at the jade shavings and preparing to kill the jade shavings-
But the enemy is still in the dark, and she must not expose herself early.
In other words, she is robbing people under the other party, and she is trying to snatch the jade shavings from the hands of the Empress Ming.
Although she already had a detailed plan, and had already explained it to Ah Zhi and Ah Che yesterday, it was obviously not going to be an easy task.
The only advantage is that if someone is secretly squatting and preparing to extinguish the jade shavings, that person will not be able to show up to fight or make a big noise out of scruplesβbecause the person who is more afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Empress Ming and everyone than her is the murderer who poisoned her back then.
Therefore, even if the other party takes action, it is destined to be more constrained than her, and when faced with unexpected situations, actions will be blocked.
Her plan is to take advantage of this "emergency" to rob people.
Now she only hopes that the jade shavings can come out of the eldest princess's mansion sooner, or this summer will pass sooner.
Otherwise, her people are so steaming outside all day long, and she will have a troubled conscience.
If Chang Jian knew that she was thinking like this, he would probably be moved to tears.
The night before the general brought ten of them to the maiden, and told them to confess the Lord, and from then on they had to do as she was told.
The master is a girl, but the charm is that he is very obsessed with subduing people with martial arts, presumably following such a girl, there will be no shortage of opportunities to play their role in the future, and a body of kung fu is not in vain.
Sure enough, yesterday the girl found him, saying that she had an important errand to explain to him.
Chang Jian didn't dare to be careless, and secretly decided that it was necessary to do this first errand beautifully, so that the girl could see where her abilities were.
I waited for a while, only to hear the girl say to him, Uncle Blade, I want to eat fish.
Chang Blade: "? β
He could only say, "That...... Belong to buy it? β
"No, I want to eat fresh, freshly caught."
Chang Blade: "......"
Fish, freshly caught - haven't you eaten enough in the country?
He could only say again: "That...... Belong to fishing? β
The girl nodded to him.
And said: "I want to eat the fish caught in the Xiqu River, and the third father said that the water of that river is the sweetest, and the fish raised are the most tender and delicious." β
Chang Blade: "......"
Sure enough, it was a good student brought out by Qiao Saijiu, yes.
So, at this moment, he was sitting on the bow of a small wrecked boat moored by the reeds by the river, and was honestly fishing.
Under the scorching sun, he wore a straw hat to protect himself from the sun, and sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat staring at the fishing rod.
Presumably, in the eyes of the few passers-by who passed by here on this day, he was even more obsessed with fishing than Joe's sacrificial wine.
But the hateful thing is......
He didn't catch a single fish for a whole day.
The fish in the Xiqu River are too ignorant!
Chang Blade, who looked indifferent and indifferent, caught a glimpse of the empty fish basket on the side, and was already anxious, and he couldn't wait to jump into the river and catch a few of them, and take a bath to cool off by the way.
But there is still a child in the cabin - the girl is afraid that he will buy two fish at will and go back to fool around, and even find a personal maid to be the overseer?
Is there a minimum of trust? Although he did think so.
Although I felt crazy about the little girl's willfulness in my heart, but looking at the immovable fishing line, Chang Jian was more anxious and desperate.
If he returns empty-handed today, and the girl returns him by this, what face will he have to live in front of the general and his brothers?
Damn, there are so many fish in this river, what can you do if you swim over and bite his hook, can you kill them!
Oh, it seems to be......
Chang Jian looked up in despair, only to see that evening was approaching, and there was not much time left for him.
It's a long story, but everything is just a matter of moments and at the same time, the figure hiding in the camphor tree has aimed the crossbow machine in his hand at the woman in blue.
The silent killing machine has shrouded the jade shavings.
And she seemed to sense some danger, or retreated again, the road to Shuiyun Tower from here was still a long way, and such a long way was enough to make her retreat every time she thought about it.
Just as she turned suddenly, the man in the tree knew that he could not wait any longer, and that the woman who was as timid as a mouse would not know when the next time she would come out......
So, he had to pull the crossbow machine.
However, he was not the only one who couldn't wait for the next time, and suddenly a gray figure broke into his line of sight.
It was a little beggar in his teens.
He ran over and knelt in front of the jade shavings, blocking her way, holding a broken bowl in his hand: "This lady, you can do it, I haven't eaten for several days!" β
Jade Dust was startled by the sudden appearance of the beggar and subconsciously retreated.
However, at this time, two beggars ran out of the alley not far away.
"That's the lady who came out of the eldest princess's mansion!"
As if they had seen fragrant dumplings, they all ran over and begged for jade shavings.
"Good ...... for a lady"
"Ask the lady to get some food!"
Their faces and bodies were dirty, the smell of sweat and dirt was tangy, and everyone's faces and words were eager, which made the jade shavings at a loss for a while.
"I ......" After not communicating with people outside for a long time, she stumbled when she spoke: "I don't have anything to give you ......"
However, three beggars still surrounded her, and one of them even began to beg to grab her sleeve.
This action undoubtedly irritated the jade shavings, and she suddenly raised her hand to brush away the dirty hand: "Go away!" β
But at this time, more beggars heard the movement and rushed over.
They were beggars who had been staying in the nearby back alleys all the year round, and they all knew the generosity of the female envoy from the eldest princess's mansion, and they all gathered around them when they saw this.
These people are usually older, and some of them are holding bowls in one hand and sticks in the other, which makes the jade crumbs more flustered and nervous than the three little beggars just now.
The man in the tree couldn't help frowning when he saw this mess.
It was impossible for him to show up in front of so many people, and he could only hope that these beggars would leave as soon as possible.
Whatever they can beg for, they'll always leave, just be patient......
However, something worse happened before his eyes.
As the beggars approached, the jade shavings kept retreating in a panic, and their feet slipped and suddenly fell into the river.
"Ahh
She let out a scream.
The man in the tree changed his complexion.
In the summer, when there was a lot of rain and the river was a little faster, the blue was struggling in the water, shouting intermittently, "Help......"
"How did you fall into the river?"
"Did you push the ......?"
"I didn't! She fell into it herself! β
"What should I do?"
"Oh no, this is a noble person in the eldest princess's mansion...... When you look back at us, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape! β
"Quick, then while no one is ...... Let's run! β
A group of beggars scattered in fear and soon left the place.
The man watched as the blue figure struggled down the water, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he immediately jumped down from the tree and hurried to the river.
The jade shavings can swim in the water, but they are too panicked and messed up, so they float along the current and float in the water and struggle.
Chang Blade heard the movement, raised his eyes and saw someone falling into the water, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt the hull of the boat move, almost shaking him down.
Ah Zhi shook the oars and rowed the boat forward.
Chang Blade hurriedly put away the fishing rod.
The boat soon approached the man struggling in the water, and Ah Zhi knelt down and handed the oars: "Come up!" β
Seeing that it was a woman who rescued her, and it was time to survive, Jade Dust did not hesitate and quickly grabbed the end of the oar.
Ah Zhi had a lot of strength and quickly dragged the person up.
Jade crumbs slumped on the board, coughing and spitting out two mouthfuls of river water.
"Are you done throwing up?" Ah Zhi asked as he half-lifted her up.
Hearing this concerned voice, Jade Scrap looked up at her with difficulty, and was about to speak, but was slashed unconscious by Ah Zhi's knife.
Chang Blade, who saw this scene: "?!" β
"Quick, get out of town." Ah Zhi urged Chang Jian in a hurry, and dragged the jade shavings to the cabin: "This is the girl's confession!" β
Chang Blade's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly picked up the oars, and took one last look at the woman who was dragged into the cabin.
Girl said fishing ...... It's not this fish!
But how could a girl do such a thing in broad daylight?
But I can't do that much right now...... It's time to show what he's capable of!
Chang Blade struggled to swing the boat and shook the oars out of the afterimage.
When Ah Zhi rescued people, the jade shavings had been washed away for a distance, and there were reeds by the river here, so no one could see this action.
When the man chased to the river, he only vaguely saw a small boat in the distance, and whether the boat was unusual or not, he could only continue to pursue it, and follow the river to keep an eye for traces on both sides.
The west of this river flows into the moat, from which you can exit the city.
But Chang Blade soon became worried about one thing.
Although it was out of the city by boat, it was close to the exit from the city, and most of them were also subject to interrogation by the soldiers defending the city.
The curfew was lifted for three days during the Dragon Boat Festival, and today is the third day, and the curfew will be resumed from tonight.
If the luck is better, it is better that the soldiers defending the city are more accommodating, but if they encounter someone who refuses to let them go, it will be a big trouble to find the unidentified woman on the ship.
And Ah Zhi urged him all the way to go faster, obviously there were chasing soldiers behind him!
Not forward, not backward......
"Otherwise, let's dock here!" Chang Blade proposed.
When he got ashore, he found a place to hide the man - even though he didn't understand why he was doing it!
"Nope." Ah Zhi Zhengse said: "The girl has explained that she must go out of the city immediately after taking this person, and if it is late, there will be changes, and now she can only go out of the city." β
Although she doesn't know everything, she has been following the girl for some time, and since the girl has explained like this, there must be a reason why she has to do it.
Chang Jian is not a verbose person, Chang Fu is a military rule of law, and those who can win the trust of the master are even more obedient engraved into their bones.
So Chang Blade stubbornly continued to swing the boat.
As he expected, as he had expected, near the exit from the city, a guard stopped the boat.
There were drawbridges at the gates of the moats that could be raised and lowered, and soldiers were stationed above and below the drawbridges, and at this moment two guards with spears stopped them.
"This section of the river is no longer allowed to sail again, read in the beginning of Duanyang, and do not pursue the mistakes that you don't know, and the city gate has been closed, quickly return the same way!"
In the face of the non-negotiable repulsion, Chang Jian was just about to speak, when he suddenly felt Ah Zhi in the cabin behind him tugging at his robe.
When he turned around, Ah Zhi shoved something into his hand.
Thank you for your monthly passes, thank you for the peach cake and the four joys, and the hall owner for the reward! (I have memorized it in the smaller book, so that I can pay off the debt slowly)
Today, I recommend Er Qian's new book "Guozijian Little Chef Niang", I don't want to read, I just want to cook!
(I don't know if the surname of this country's sacrificial wine is Qiao, whether he eats fish every day in the canteen)
