Chapter 11: Demon Conspiracy

Yan Fang was taken aback when he heard this, and raised his eyes to see that the beautiful figure standing on the bow of the boat was actually Miss Wan'er.

...

"Little Brother Yan, this time I went to Luoyang, the mountains and rivers are far away, is it enough? If it's not enough, sister, there are still some here. Wan'er, who was dressed in a white dress and had bright eyes and bright teeth, asked with concern.

"Enough, enough, the sisters of Cuiming Building made a lot of money for me before leaving. Yan Fang hurriedly waved his hand and refused, and a trace of warmth welled up in his heart.

"Sister Wan'er, what about you, are you also going to Luoyang?" asked Yan Fang.

"No, my ancestral home is Xiangzhou, and this time I am returning to my hometown to pay tribute to my father. Miss Wan'er's eyes suddenly turned red, and her mood was a little low. It turned out that her father was implicated in a fraud case and exiled to Bianzhou, and died of depression in less than a year, and his remains were transported back to his hometown.

Xiangzhou and Yuezhou are thousands of miles apart, and Miss Wan'er only heard the bad news of her father's death after half a year, and was heartbroken after hearing the news, but she was helpless in the Qinglou, and she couldn't protect herself, so she had no chance to return to her hometown to pay tribute to her father. More than a month ago, he was ransomed by General Zhou, married into the door, and became the general's wife, so he had the opportunity to return to his hometown.

"I'm sorry, Sister Wan'er, I.." Looking at Yan Fang, a girl with slightly red eyes and sad tears, felt a little guilty.

"Don't be sad, ma'am. Xiaolan, a maid in a green dress sitting next to Miss Wan'er, handed over a handkerchief and comforted her.

"It's fine. Miss Wan'er took the handkerchief and gently wiped her tears.

When he went to Xiangzhou, the mountains were high and the rivers were long, and General Zhou was worried about the safety of the newly married wife, so he arranged for a maid and two guards to accompany him.

In addition to Miss Wan'er and Yan Fang, there was also a girl in the cabin, dressed in red, holding a long knife with a pitch-black body sitting in the corner, looking arrogant.

This boat was ordered by General Zhou in advance, but this girl in red was not with Wan'er girl all the way, she came up shortly before Yan Fang boarded the ship, it is said that what kind of amazing character, the boat boss can't afford to offend, so he can only let her on the boat, fortunately, Wan'er girl is easy-going, and she didn't care too much.

...

It was completely dark, Miss Wan'er and her party had already fallen asleep, Yan Fang turned back and forth on the narrow wooden bed in the cabin, and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went to the deck to get some air.

The moon hangs high in the night sky, surrounded by stars, and the moonlight and starlight shone on the surface of the river.

On a summer night, a cool breeze blew on the river, Yan Fang walked on the deck by the starlight, and vaguely saw a red figure standing on the bow of the boat, it was the girl holding a knife and looking arrogant. The girl noticed the footsteps coming from behind, looked back at the person who came vigilantly, and after recognizing that it was Yan Fang, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look at the utensils held in her right hand.

It is a compass with a simple shape and some faint cracks on it.

...

"Brother Yan, this steamed bun is for you, my sister can't eat it. Miss Wan'er smiled and handed the steamed bun in her hand to Yan Fang.

"Sister Wan'er can see that I haven't eaten enough. Yan Fang scratched his head, and took the steamed bun handed over with some embarrassment, thinking to himself. Yan Fang didn't sleep all night last night, and he had been sitting on the bed to practice since returning to the cabin from the deck, which consumed a lot of physical energy.

Yan Fang nibbled on the white-flour steamed buns that were still hot, and noticed that the red-clothed girl on the side hadn't eaten any more after eating half of the steamed buns, and had been quietly staring at the table in front of her, not knowing what to think about.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Yan Fang felt a little uneasy in his heart. In his opinion, the girl's behavior was too strange, and she suddenly got on the boat, holding that strange black knife without saying a word, and stood on the deck with that compass last night, and he didn't know what she was doing.

"Forget it, just keep watch out for all changes. Yan Fang didn't think about it anymore, and swallowed the remaining half of the steamed bun in his hand.

...

After lunch, Yan Fang sat cross-legged on the bed to practice, the time on the boat passed very slowly, and the bored Yan Fang passed the time through practice, after all, it was a few hours.

The sun was still shining outside the window before the entry, and when I woke up from the meditation, it was already full of stars.

"Little Brother Yan, come out quickly, come to play leaf play. ”

As soon as Yan Fang woke up from his meditation, he heard Miss Wan'er's voice.

"Here we are. ”

There were five people sitting in the narrow cabin, a Wan'er girl in a white dress, Xiaolan, a maid in a green dress, and two guards in silver light armor were playing with leaves around the table.

The red-clothed girl holding the black knife sat on the side and watched, her eyes kept staring at the maid Xiaolan and the two guards.

Ye Zixi is similar to the cards in Yan Fang's previous life, and it can be regarded as the ancestor of cards. The four of them were having a great time. Miss Wan'er and the maid Xiaolan are obviously proficient in this way, and rarely lose, and the two guard brothers are slightly inferior in this regard, especially the black-faced man whose image is similar to Zhang Fei in the previous life "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", grabbing the cards with his rough big hands, looking a little clumsy.

"Huh. ”

"Brother Lu, you lost again. Miss Wan'er looked at the black-faced man who still had a handful of cards in his hand and laughed softly.

"This... It's not coming, it's not coming, it's not interesting. The black-faced man's dark face flushed with a hint of red, and he was a little embarrassed, threw a handful of cards on the table, and shouted.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this tough guy who was brave and extraordinary on the battlefield actually play a child's temper at the card table.

"The four-person bureau is really boring, let's come to the six-person bureau, Brother Yan, and the girl in red, let's play together. Miss Wan'er chuckled and said.

"Good. To Yan Fang's surprise, the red-clothed girl who had been holding the black knife with an indifferent expression and was watching from the wall actually agreed.

The crowd started a six-player game.

...

"Girl, it's time for you to draw the cards. ”

"Hmm?.. Good. ”

...

"Oh, girl, you should come out of the bamboo, how do you come out of the old man. ”

...

Everyone didn't expect this look to be indifferent, the girl in red who had been watching from the side just now turned out to be a card idiot, and she made mistakes again and again, and even the black-faced man surnamed Lu, who had the worst card skills, couldn't help but remind.

The girl's pretty face, which had been as cold as frost, flushed a little, and she was a little embarrassed.

"Sister, it's okay, just a few more rounds to get acquainted. "It's Miss Wan'er again.

...

After playing more than a dozen games in a row, under the reminder of everyone, the girl in red's card skills improved rapidly, and soon the loser became a black-faced man.

Yan Fang inadvertently noticed that there was a faint fluctuation of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force in the gap between the corners of the clothes of the red-clothed girl who was becoming more and more skilled in card skills, and he paused for a moment, but it was too weak Yan Fang didn't think much about it, and continued to play cards.

....

"Flowers. "The black-faced man played a card with a strange flower drawn on it.

"Do you know what kind of flowers are painted on this card" The girl in red holding the black knife regained her indifferent expression, and suddenly said, This is the longest sentence Yan Fang has ever heard her say these days.

This question was a little confusing, and everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they answered one after another:

"Like a peony. ”

"Lao Lu, what kind of eyes do you have, it's obviously Yueji. ”

"It's a cuckoo. ”

...

"I feel like a falling flower. The girl in red spoke lightly, interrupting everyone's argument.

"It's not a falling flower, it's purple. Xiaolan, the maid who had not spoken before sitting next to Miss Wan'er, blurted out.

"Oh, is the falling flower purple, how do you know?" The girl in red didn't seem surprised at all that someone would refute her, and asked with a smile as she looked at the seemingly harmless little maid in front of her.

"This... I saw it when I was a kid. The girl in the green dress lowered her eyebrows and looked a little flustered.

"It is recorded in the dossier that you are a native of Yuezhou and have never left Yuezhou, and as far as I know, the falling flowers only grow in the 100,000 mountains and their vicinity thousands of miles away from Yuezhou. How did you see that?" said the girl in red indifferently, her voice extremely cold.

There was a sudden silence in the cabin, and everyone didn't expect that the girl in red in front of them knew Xiaolan's details so well. And asked such a trap question, what is her purpose?

The girl in the green dress showed a trace of horror when she heard this, but then she restrained herself very well, and explained: "Then it may be that I admit that I am mistaken, there is also a purple flower of the same name in Yuezhou." ”

"Don't pretend, demon spy. The girl in red spoke coldly and immediately took out a compass from her body. It was the one Yan Fang had seen on the deck that night, the faintly broken compass emitted a trace of fluctuations in the Yuan Force of Heaven and Earth, and the pointer on it turned slightly, and it didn't move anymore after pointing at the girl in the green dress who pretended to be calm...
