Chapter 721: The ship sank
Lou Yun didn't ask anything, he carried Lin Luoyao on his back and left here according to Lin Luoyao's instructions, now there is a mess outside, the people in the rivers and lakes here are killing the subordinates of the Star Picking Tower, and many people who have not had time to evacuate have died here. A gap was blown open on one side of the closed door, and a large number of brocade guards entered.
Jinyi Wei is very easy to recognize, their clothes are unified as flying fish suits, and the blades are unified as embroidered spring knives.
The door was slammed open, and behind the door were a brocade guard with a firearm in hand. And the gap in the door just now was blown open by artillery.
However, Lou Yun was not in the mood to care about these now, and Lin Luoyao directed him to the house where they lived before.
It's still too late to hope, if something like that really happens to Nangong Li, she will die a dead death, because chastity is something more important to her than life. Lin Luoyao understands her, she would rather cut off her meridians and commit suicide than be insulted.
Lou Yun kicked the door open, and Lin Luoyao shouted, "Sister Nangong!"
Nangong Li was still sitting on the edge of the bed, she was wiping her neck, and Lou Yun stepped on something. When I looked closely, it was a dead man.
Lou Yun asked, "Who is he?"
Nangong Li said: "He ......"
Lin Luoyao knew that this kind of thing was difficult to talk about, but it seemed that Nangong Li didn't let him take advantage, otherwise, this old man would not have died.
Lin Luoyao said: "This person should be the killer of Xingxinglou, Sister Nangong's martial arts are the best in our generation, and Xingxinglou naturally wants to send a top killer to assassinate her." Am I right, Sister Nangong. ”
Nangong Li smiled slightly and said, "That's right. By the way, Sister Lin, are you okay!" Sure enough, Lin Luoyao is the most understanding, and this step is very good.
Nangong Li looked at Lou Yun, and was embarrassed to say anything, if Lin Luoyao really happened to him, his face would be ugly.
Lin Luoyao said: "I'm fine, I'm worried about you, Li Fu just locked me up." But in the end, he still let me out, and by the way, I heard him say that the main star picker has set fire to the ship, so let's leave quickly. ”
"Burn the ship?"
Lin Luoyao nodded and said, "Yes, we should be in the same boat now, if we really burn the boat, let's leave quickly." ”
Nangong Li nodded, but when she passed by Yujizi's side, she picked up his sword, which was not intended to be kept as a memorial or anything, but just to use it to pay tribute to the dead soul of the Qiu family. After all, if you take a human head on the road, it will be very infiltrating, second, it will be very infiltrating, and third, it will still be very infiltrating. So just take his sword.
Although Lin Luoyao has a lot of questions in her mind now, now is not the time to ask these questions, and it is the best policy to leave quickly.
Although the Jinyi Guards had come to the rescue, Lin Luoyao didn't think that this group of eagle dogs from the imperial court was simply here to save them.
Lou Yun carried Lin Luoyao on his back and jumped into the stands, and Nangong Li naturally followed.
But no sooner had they come down than a dozen muskets were pointed at them.
"Master Hou has an order, not to let go of the remnants of a star-picking building. ”
Lou Yun said: "I am Qiu Yun, the owner of Peacock Villa, and this is Miss Emei Nangong. We are not the ones who pick up the stars. ”
At this time, there was a person, this person was personable, white as snow, this person was none other than Murong Zheng, the Marquis of Wuchang, who led the Jinyi Guard this time.
Murong Zheng waved his hand and said, "Put it down, Lord Qiuzhuang is my friend, and Miss Nangong is my junior sister." ”
The brocade guards all put down their muskets. Then continue to search for other places.
Murong Zheng clasped his fists and said, "I didn't expect that the reunion with the owner of Qiu Zhuang would be here. ”
Murong Zheng looked at Nangong Li, who was very cold to him and didn't even pay attention to him.
Lin Luoyao said impatiently on Lou Yun's body: "Lord Murong, if you have anything to say when you leave here, Li Fu said that he was going to set fire to the boat, organize everyone to leave first, otherwise everyone will have to feed the sharks." ”
As soon as Lin Luoyao finished speaking, a series of explosions sounded in the boat.
Naturally, this was done by a woman named Xiaoxian, and the ship was mostly covered with sulfur, saltpeter, and some gunpowder under the deck. Just in case.
The ship suddenly burst into flames, but Murong Zheng was in danger and calmly commanded the evacuation of the personnel. Until all the people withdrew to the naval warships of the imperial court.
However, in addition to people, Murong Zheng searched the ship of the Star Picking Tower in a short period of time, and most of the treasures that were ready to participate in the Strange Treasure Banquet were also rescued, including Nangong Yu's Qingyun umbrella and the Blood Bodhi, and those who were too late to be rescued were left on the ship. However, Murong Zheng assured those people that this was his dereliction of duty, and if the items were lost, he would apply to the imperial court for transfer.
If the silver was not enough, Murong Zheng promised to give them his silver, as if he had bought it.
Everyone stood on the battleship of the sailor and watched the huge ship in the distance slowly sink into the vast sea in the skyrocketing firelight.
It was not only them who watched this scene, but naturally there were also Li Fu's sisters and brothers.
Li Fu snorted coldly and said: "I didn't expect to kill a Murong Zheng halfway, but it's a pity that this ship, this ship cost us millions of taels of silver, and it was burned down like this, Murong Zheng! I won't let him go!"
Li Qiong did not fluctuate in her heart, she said: "Brother, don't care about these things outside your body, in the past, Liu Bang used to buy off the soldiers under Xiang Yu, so he took 40,000 gold to do that gambling with Chen Ping with an unknown outcome, and the money was nothing more than things outside the body. It's just a ship, and sooner or later my sister will build one for you. Her eyes never took off the fire.
Li Fu asked, "Sister, where are we going next?" The Murong family knows our details, so they must have copied our back road. I didn't expect the Murong family to be such a repeated villain. We don't count him, but he comes and reckons against us. ”
Li Qiong's maid put on a fox fur for her, after all, the sea breeze is still very cold. She turned around and said: "Go to the capital, since she copied our back road, then we will hide under his nose, the foundation of the imperial city is the safest place, we still have some people in the court, they can provide us with shelter." ”
Li Fu looked at the slowly sinking ship reluctantly, in addition to feeling sorry for the building ship that cost millions of taels to build, he was more worried about Lin Luoyao, and he didn't know if she had escaped.
Li Qiong gently patted her younger brother's shoulder and said: "Do big things and cherish yourself, see that Xiaoli forgets his righteousness, such a person can't make a big deal, come to drink with my sister." After that, I slept next to my sister and didn't think about these things. ”
