Chapter 220: It's Blood!
Qin Shuhuang shook his head and suppressed his voice, "Drag it first, wait until you go ashore, this group of people seems to be acting on orders, as if they have not been in contact with us before." ”
As long as they go ashore, not the turbulent Lingjiang River surrounded by water, they are not so passive!
After the inspection, in addition to Qin Shuhuang Xuancang, four more men and women were screened out from the passenger ship.
After tossing for more than an hour, the passenger ship was successfully released after the owner of the passenger ship gave ten taels of silver.
At this time, another official ship came along the Lingjiang River, and all the people who had been screened out boarded the newly arrived official ship under the escort of officers and soldiers.
This official ship is not big, only half of the previous two official ships, and the load is small but fast.
All were held in a large cabin, and after an hour and a half, the ship docked and docked at a pier.
The officers and soldiers did not let people get off the ship, and Qin Shuhuang Xuancang in the cabin only heard many more footsteps on the deck, and then a few whispers.
The door to the cabin opened, and the people standing at the front were led out of the cabin.
There were sixteen people in the entire cabin, five were taken away, and only eleven remained.
After someone was taken away, the people in the cabin were even more worried.
In less than half an hour, the hatch door was opened again, and five more people were taken out, still silently.
Suddenly, Xuan Cang's face sank, and he whispered in Qin Shuhuang's ear: "Your Highness, my subordinates smell blood. ”
People who practice martial arts are much more sensitive than ordinary people.
Hearing Xuan Cang say this, Qin Shuhuang's face also changed, "Do you suspect that the people you brought out were directly killed by them?" ”
Xuan Cang bowed his head with a calm face.
Qin Shuhuang instantly clenched his fists.
Xuan Cang advised, "Your Highness, we must go out together for a while, no matter what, you can't leave your subordinates." ”
Qin Shuhuang should go down.
After the second wave was brought out, it was shorter than the first wave, and the officers and soldiers came back again.
This time, six people including Qin Shuhuang and Xuancang were selected to take them out.
Seeing that Xuan Cang was still carrying a burden and carrying luggage, the officers and soldiers frowned and shouted: "You are not allowed to bring anything, put things down, if it is verified that you are not bandits, there will be time for you to come back and pick it up in a while." ”
Xuan Cang lowered his head and pretended to be a stubborn man, "No, these are all our belongings, what if someone steals it here, if you don't let me take it, my wife and I won't go with you." ”
The eyes of the officers and soldiers flashed, and when they saw that the people not far away were looking at them again, they had to compromise temporarily, "Okay, okay, you take it, go quickly!" ”
Seeing that Xuan Cang and Qin Shuhuang had brought their burdens and luggage, the rest of the people also took their own baggage.
The officers and men did not disembark after taking them to the deck, but turned a corner, went around the stern, and walked to the upper cabin.
Qin Shuhuang deliberately observed the surrounding situation.
This is not a formal pier, but a wild pier, the pier is not large, only enough to park a boat, the shore is full of lush reeds, and there is not even a single house.
There was a dilapidated hut not far away.
At this moment, a group of men and horses were hurrying towards the path behind the reeds.
Discovering this situation, Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang glanced at each other and immediately felt that something was wrong.
If it was really to catch bandits, the official ship would never dock at this wild wharf, and it still looked like such a hidden place.
Just at this time, Xuan Cang noticed that there was a red viscous liquid oozing out of the cabin next to the deck!
It's blood!
No wonder Xuan Cang smelled blood, it turned out that this group of people was killing people on the cabin where they were being held! It was only when it was close that the smell of blood reached the cabin.
Xuan Cang glanced at the cabin not far from them, and at this moment, I am afraid that more than a dozen innocent corpses have fallen in the cabin!
Xuan Cang glanced at Qin Shuhuang.
They were never allowed to go into that cabin.
I don't know if there are any mechanisms or poisonous weapons in there.
Qin Shuhuang immediately understood, pretended to accidentally hit his foot, and sat on the ground in pain.
Mr. Luo, who had always been in poor health and looked like a sick scholar, suddenly abandoned the carriage and led a team of people to ride in the direction of Ningshui in person.
Bo Ying, the scholar who was following him, looked at Luo Chu and coughed while riding a horse, and said worriedly: "Sir, otherwise, let's change the carriage, you can't stand it!" ”
Luo Chu shook his head, "The matter is urgent, ride a horse faster." ”
Bo Ying pursed her lips and couldn't help but say: "Sir, the prince obviously asked you to take people to Beidi, but you led people in the opposite direction, what should I do if the prince blames you?" ”
Luo Chu glanced at Bo Ying coldly, "Bo Ying, remember your proportions, I don't have to explain anything to you!" ”
Bo Ying shook and immediately complied.
Luo Chu shook the reins, hoping that the horses under his crotch would run faster.
When he got the news that General Liu and his men were rushing to Ningshui, he knew that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was not on the way to Beidi at the moment, but on the way to Guangnan!
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess really didn't disappoint him.
The last vote didn't have much effect, the four princes hid it too deeply, and they didn't exert much effort when they saw the change in the situation at the critical time, so Qin Shuhuang didn't send anyone to contact him afterwards.
If he can save the eldest princess this time, then he will be able to occupy a place in the eldest princess!
After a whole day of galloping, Luo Chu finally led people to the wild dock where the official ship docked.
When he got off the horse, if it wasn't for Bo Ying's help, Luo Chu almost fell to the ground with a weak leg.
"Sir, are you alright, do you want to rest first?"
Luo Chu shook his head, "Let's go, go to the boat and see the situation." ”
Bo Ying helped Luo Chu to walk to the dock.
Just about to get on the boat, he was stopped by two officers and soldiers, "Caoyun law enforcement, don't get close, go away!" ”
Luo Chu took out a token from his arms and showed it in front of the officers and soldiers.
Seeing the token, the officers and soldiers immediately bowed respectfully, "The superior is coming, and the subordinates are rude!" ”
Luo Chu said coldly: "What about people? How many were processed? ”
"Back to Shangguan, half of it was handled, and half of it was left."
Hearing the officers and soldiers say this, Luo Chu's heart was cold, and the hands hanging down his side couldn't help but clench.
I just hope that the eldest princess's luck will be better, and she will not be among the half of the people who have been dealt with......
Taking a deep breath, Luo Chu said with a calm face: "Change the cabin, and I will personally take care of the rest!" ”
The officers and soldiers hesitated for a few seconds, and for the sake of the token, they could only agree for the time being.
At this time, an accident suddenly occurred among the third wave of people who were taken out of the cabin.
I only heard a woman say that she twisted her foot and couldn't get up in pain for a while.
Luo Chu sensitively sensed the familiarity of the female voice who spoke, and immediately ordered: "Take me to see what's going on!" ”
The officers and soldiers guarding the pier ordered the other two to accompany Luo Chu and the others to check the situation.
When Qin Shuhuang Xuancang and his party were about to quarrel with the officers and soldiers, Luo Chu arrived with someone, and Luo Chu saw the young woman sitting on the ground and the strong man accompanying him, and the worry in his eyes finally dissipated.
Fortunately, he arrived in time enough!
When Qin Shuhuang raised his head, he happened to collide with Luo Chu's line of sight!
