The abnormal sound I heard on it should be the sound of a large piece colliding with the bulkhead in the cabin behind the door.

She swam over, inserted the knife, and slammed the door open. Behind the door floated a sitting bed. Pulling hard, she dragged it out and brought it back to the gangway, and when it floated up on its own, she followed, and finally climbed out of the water.

"Help me!"

She gasped and called out to the stunned second daughter. With their help, the three of them pushed the bed into the water.

Su Yu ordered the two of them to climb up slowly in turn, control the balance left and right, and don't let one head.

Although the second daughter still looked very frightened at this time, she had already obeyed her command, and had stopped crying, and with her hands and feet, she carefully climbed up and lay on it.

Su Yu untied a rope at the gangway, tied the two firmly to the bed, pushed hard, and the bed went downstream.

This bed probably won't be able to hold the weight of three people. She wrapped a rope around her waist, then went into the water, grabbed the edge of the bed, and let it float down the river.

Moments after they left the ship, there was a strange sound of terror coming from the bottom of the water.

In the middle of the lake, more than ten feet behind them, the ornate painting boat sank completely, leaving only a huge vortex on the surface of the water.

In another moment, the whirlpool subsided, and all traces became gone, as if nothing had happened, still the wave after wave of the wind.

Li Wanwan and Lu Wenjun slowly turned their heads.

The faces of the two girls were pale, and they all looked at the rain where most of their bodies were under water, and each stretched out their hands, one left and one right, and held her arms tightly, so as to help her save some energy and hold on until the rescuers arrived.

And under the cool breeze of Ningwang Villa, that polo match is still in full swing.

On the field, there were already people on both sides who hung up the lottery one after another, and Chengping's forehead was swept by the club, and he kept bleeding without realizing it. Yu Wenzhi's jaw hit and swollen, but he just spat out blood and continued to fight again. The horses were injured several times, each of which was changed several times. Not only that, but the weather gradually turned cloudy, and it looked like it was about to rain.

However, all this did not seem to have any impact on the game. The two sides are still fighting, and the ball chips are also bitten very tightly, almost you have a chip, and I have a chance to pull back the situation.

Such a wonderful, bloody game is rare in normal times, only the people around the watch are fascinated, the cheers are almost loud, and the gambling chips are stacked more and more.

Pei Xiaoyuan had no intention of watching the game at all.

He couldn't find Su Yu in the crowd of Liangfeng Terrace, and went to another place, and finally found the slave who had shown her the way, and asked her where she went.

Those two county lords are quite famous in Beijing, and it is said that one is arrogant and the other is rude. She was alone in front of such two people, and in case she was troubled, she was on the water, and there was no place to move.

Pei Xiaoyuan didn't think about it, and was about to go to the port to chase him out by boat, when King Ning and his party came on the opposite side, with his grandson by his side, Li Xu, who was rescued by him.

The attendant rushed to the front and said that King Ning was looking for him.

Pei Xiaoyuan had no choice but to catch up.

King Ning walked over with a smile, looking in a very good mood, and asked him where he had just gone, Prince Ashina and Yuwen Shizi led the team to play such a wonderful polo under the cool breeze stage, which is rare in recent years, and I don't see anyone else.

Pei Xiaoyuan was inconvenient to tell the truth, so he only said that he walked everywhere. Because he was concerned with someone in his heart, he didn't say much, and asked what was going on with him.

King Ning beckoned Li Yu to step forward. Li Yu quickly straightened his clothes and walked to his grandfather's side.

"My grandson was raised by his mother since he was a child. The woman's family is inevitably more cautious and has too many constraints. In the past, I was in the Eastern Capital, and I couldn't take care of these things, but now that I'm back, I want to find a master for him and teach him some kung fu of riding and archery, not for anything else, just to be able to strengthen the body. I've been thinking about this for a while, and today Si Cheng happened to save my grandson, isn't it destined by God? So he opened his mouth with a thick old face. I just don't know if Pei Sicheng can take a fancy to my grandson? If he doesn't think he's stupid, accept him as a little apprentice, and then be free to teach a few times at will, then it will be his blessing. ”

After his grandfather finished speaking on his behalf, Li Xu waited with bated breath for a response.

Pei Xiaoyuan was surprised, glanced at the young man in front of him, saw him looking up at him slightly, his eyes showed a look of nervous expectation, and he groaned, and heard King Ning say again: "Mother Xu'er, although Si Cheng can rest assured, I have told her about the matter of a horse shooting master, I have told her before, and she has no objection." ”

"It is a great honor for me to be the king of Monning. Just ......"

Pei Xiaoyuan didn't want to accept this matter in his heart, and was about to refuse, when a few people hurriedly came from the direction of the dock, saw King Ning from a distance, and rushed over.

Ning Wang Ruo also sensed a bit of a strange atmosphere, stopped, and turned his head to look.

It was the guards here who were guarding the dock, and the Taoist King Kang and Feng Jiashilang escorted the second county lord to board the painting boat sent by the prince, and went to the center of the lake to play privately, and strictly ordered them not to alarm others, saying that they would return in a while. They were hindered by King Kang's authority and did not dare to disobey the order. But at this moment, the boat has been out for some time, and it still does not return, and it is no longer possible to hide it, and it is found to be announced. After speaking, he knelt down and kept prostrating his head and confessing his sin.

King Ning showed a slightly angry look on his face, and he couldn't take care of his grandson's apprenticeship, so he turned his head and shouted to call people to go to the dock, and immediately send a boat out to chase people back as soon as possible.

Pei Xiaoyuan became more and more anxious at this time, looking at the low dark clouds above the center of the lake in the distance, and even faintly gave birth to an ominous omen in his heart, nodded to the young man in front of him, and rushed towards the dock.

Soon, several boats parked nearby launched one after another, chasing in the direction of the center of the lake where the painting boat had gone.

The wind was strong on the lake, and Pei Xiaoyuan stood on the bow of the boat in the wind. Miles of water in front of him were full of waves, and he couldn't see half of the ship.

He tried his best to suppress the growing fear in his heart, gathered his eyes, and kept scanning his surroundings. On several boats nearby, everyone was also shouting. Suddenly, he saw a black line on the surface of the lake in the far direction of the side, about an arrow away from his feet, and immediately spoke. Several boats were moving at full speed, and when they got closer, they saw a man holding driftwood, and several guards and boatmen-like people floating up and down in the water, trying their best to call for help.

"It's King Kang!"

Someone shouted. The boats surrounded them, and more than a dozen people jumped off the lake and swam to the people who fell into the water, dragged King Kang up, and carried him onto the boat, and then went to rescue a few other people who were exhausted and were about to sink to the bottom.

King Kang collapsed at the bottom of the hard boat, his face as blue as a dead man, his eyes closed and his mouth only open to breathe, if he did not hear the inquiring voices of the people around him.

"What about the rest?"

Pei Xiaoyuan jumped onto the boat he was on, squatted down, pinched his jaw violently, and asked sharply.

King Kang couldn't bear the pain, opened his eyes and said, "The bottom of the ship is leaking and sinking!" Someone is going to kill you! They—"

"I don't know what happened to them!"

After saying this, he cried bitterly, struggled to get up, fell to his knees, and kept pounding the bottom of the boat with his forehead, thumping, and his body curled up together in extreme sorrow and pain.

The news was quickly sent ashore.

Pei Xiaoyuan had already led the boats that came out and continued to search for people separately, and asked King Ning to send more ships out immediately to join the search.

King Ning was almost fainted by five thunderbolts, stabilized his mind a little, and sent King Kang to treatment as soon as possible, while ordering people to immediately transfer more ships to join the search.

The whole annex was turned upside down because of this incident. Cheng Ping and Yu Wenzhi, who were killing on the court, also interrupted the competition and led people to the boat. How dare King Ning allow these two people to go into the water again, try his best to stop them, and when he turns around after arranging things, the two are gone.

The summer thundershowers, accompanied by hideous and twisted lightning bolts that tore the heavens and the earth, finally poured down from the sky with a bang. After the thunderstorm, the sunset shines like gold, and the wind on the lake turns warm.

At this time, this search has lasted for half a day, not only alarming the eldest princess's mansion, but even the sailors stationed nearby have also sent ships to join, a total of no less than 100 boats, from rain to sunshine, from day to dusk, searching for several bodies of guards and palace eunuchs who boarded the ship together.

The second county lord and the court painter who was with them were never allowed to fall.

It's getting dark. If they are not found before then, the hope of survival will become even more diminished.

And just a moment ago, Pei Xiaoyuan received another message.

It was confirmed that the son of the Feng family also drowned. The body had just been scooped up.

For the people on the same boat, this matter is like a steel knife approaching the neck a few points, and there is no hope of survival.

They were all the ones in charge of guarding the dock. A noble man has died. If the two county lords were confirmed to be dead, no matter how merciful King Ning was, they would not be able to survive if they had nine lives.

The darker it gets, the more desperate it gets. Several of them began to feel weak and unable to stand, and sat in the bilge with ashen faces, waiting for the last moment to come.

Pei Xiaoyuan's clothes went from dry to wet, from wet to dry, and he never left the bow of the boat for half a step.

He was the only one who stood still, and if his feet were firmly nailed to the deck, he had not moved for half a minute. He tirelessly gathered his eyes, and by the faint remnants of the light of the last moment of the day, he continued to search for any place on the water as far as his eyes could see.

That last moment finally came.

At the end of a deep twilight cloud, he found the three of them on the edge of a small reef island called Liexiantai in Qujiang, next to the green water reeds.

A floating bed carrying the two girls and her floated down the river, stuck in this dense pile of water and grass that grew dozens of miles away.

Li Wanwan and Lu Wenjun were soaked all over, got a lot of aquatic plants, and drank some water, they looked weak and in good condition.

She was leaning on the edge of the bed, most of her body soaked in the water, her head leaning softly on the bed, her eyes slightly closed, her eyebrows were messy and wet, and the crow was shockingly black against the background of her pale skin. If it weren't for the lips soaking and molting, it would look like a person was asleep.

Pei Xiaoyuan grabbed her wrist that was worn and covered with scars, and after pulling her up from the water a little, his arms gently inserted his arms into her armpits, hugged her, and immediately used force to drag her whole person out of the water.

As soon as he got on the boat and put her down, he quickly took off his coat and covered her whole head to toe.

The rest of the people also woke up like a dream, and when he rescued her, he untied the rope from the second county lord with seven hands and eight feet and pulled it up.

At this time, Lu Wenjun howled and cried. Li Wanwan also sobbed and asked Pei Xiaoyuan if he was okay.

The guards roared loudly in ecstasy as they steered toward the shore.

"The county lord has found it!"

"The two county lords have found it!"

"Unscathed!"

The guards who lined up along the shore to find people quickly used their fast horses to relay the good news of the day.

When the boat docked, Pei Xiaoyuan entrusted the second county lord to a royal palace soldier who rushed to hear the news, and he directly got on the horse with Su Yu, and protected her who was still powerless in his arms, and rode back to the city together.

It's dark. By the light of the surrounding fire staff, King Ning saw Pei Xiaoyuan and the court painter riding on the same horse, and after a short accident, he didn't see it, but only said that there was a doctor waiting in the other garden, and told him to send someone over for treatment quickly.

Su Yu slowly eased up, knowing that this way of riding would definitely attract people's attention, but at this time there was nothing to be done, so he could only continue to close his eyes in his arms.

She felt that the person behind her seemed to be moved by King Ning's suggestion, as if she was hesitating, stretched out her hand, and secretly pulled his sleeve under the clothes he wrapped around her.

He must have understood what she meant. quickly explained, saying that she was fine, but she was too weak, just go back and rest for a while, and asked King Ning to quickly pick up the two county lords, and then stopped staying and continued to ride away.

At the second watch, when the city entered the curfew again, Pei Xiaoyuan returned to the Yongning Mansion where he went out this morning with Su Yu.

She threw off her long hair, stripped off her breasts, stripped off her clothes, sat naked in a wide tub, soaked her body completely in hot water, washed off the dust and cleaned, she climbed out, dried herself, put on her loose middle coat, and walked out of the bath.

There are no outsiders in Yongning House, the night inside the wall is as quiet as a dream, at this time, Qingtou will not come to her, so she did not bind her chest anymore, sat on a narrow bed covered with violet felt in the middle of the house, and with the light from a white porcelain candlestick, she smeared some medicine he sent on her injured two wrists, and then gathered the scattered wet hair to one side of her chest, turned her face slightly, and slowly wiped the wet hair with a long towel while thinking about the many things that happened today.

Just as he was distracted, he heard two knocks on the door.

She knew he was coming, and she guessed that he had a lot to ask herself.

For example, how the prince's ship leaked, how Feng Shilang died, how King Kang saved himself, and how she escaped with the two county lords.

"The door is unlocked. Let's go in. ”

She stopped and whispered.

The door slowly pushed open. The familiar figure of a young man appeared outside the door.

He was still dressed for the day, and he didn't come back to shower and change his clothes, and he looked as if he had been waiting outside.

Su Yu naturally understood his eagerness to know those things.

Those are not trivial, tomorrow......

Perhaps tonight, a terrible storm is brewing around today's events.

He came, but did not enter at once, but stopped at the door, as if he were looking at her.

Su Yu waited for a moment, continued to wipe her long hair, and said with a smile: "I know you have something to ask." You ask. ”

Pei Xiaoyuan stepped inside at this time, and walked in front of her with a sound of boots.

Su Yu's hand wiping his wet hair paused again.

She saw him slowly kneel down towards her again.

This time, it was a one-knee salute on the march.
