Volume 12 Chapter 7 (6)

When Xinting appeared, under the swallow rock of the ferry in the northeast of Jinling, two five-masted sails were ready to go, and the sailors of the Yu family were busy sailing and untying the cables on the deck, they were all young men in their twenties and thirties, all wearing cloth and short coats, and the muscles of the mound were faintly visible under the thin clothes, although it was already early winter, these sailors were all busy and sweating. There are hundreds of men and women boarding the boat on the ferry, most of these people are originally the pride of one party, but this time they are afraid of being blocked by the Demon Emperor halfway, so they are all light and simple, but also try to avoid people's eyes and ears, long journeys plus the fear in their hearts, even if they are quite proficient in martial arts, their faces can't help but show a look of exhaustion, but thinking that they can leave the stormy Jinling soon, there is a look of joy between their eyebrows, and the already heavy steps are suddenly brisk.

Although there are many people who are ready to take the passenger and cargo ship of the Yu family to the south, they basically arrived in advance, after all, no one wants to have another incident in this situation, but when they are about to set off, there is a group of people who are in a hurry, led by a middle-aged businessman with a mediocre appearance, followed by a young woman wearing an autumn-colored cloak, her face is hidden under the hood, and it is not easy to see, only to see that she has been struggling, all supported by a tall girl, she can barely walk, and the two women followed the two young bodyguards step by step, each carrying a package, with a knife at her waist, and her steps are vigorous, and she is described as strong。 The five of them hurriedly walked onto the gangplank, and after a short time they walked to the deck, and the middle-aged merchant had just breathed a sigh of relief, but a cold and elegant voice came from his ears: "Brother Qiao has booked a cabin early in the morning, but why hasn't he come until now." If it weren't for the fact that Brother Qiao and the sixth cousin had a good relationship, Yu would have been eager to leave Brother Qiao behind. ”

The middle-aged businessman looked up, and saw Yu Xiufu, the young master of the Yu family, standing not far in front of him, wearing a blue shirt and a sword, a light green cloak, a pale face, and an indifferent expression, and there were two Tsing Yi warriors standing behind him, who were about the same age as Yu Xiufu. They are all handsome, with eyes like meteors, full of energy, and a faint killing intent between their eyebrows. With a steel knife on his back, he had a water-splitting stinger tied to his waist, and his gaze was a little unkind. The last time the middle-aged businessman and Yu Xiufu met was only a few months ago, and it was not expected to be a short time. Yu Xiufu turned out to be so haggard and emaciated, his eyes were even more faintly red, and he looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, and couldn't help but say with concern: "Yu Gongzi's injuries have not healed? If so." Childe shouldn't come out to greet him, if there is anything, let your two brothers deal with it. ”

Yu Xiufu smiled faintly. His injuries were fine. That day in Wanzhuan Pavilion, he was just poisoned. The reason why he described him as so haggard was because he was overly worried in his heart. It's just that of course he can't say these things, but he just looked at the middle-aged merchant vigilantly, and his right hand has moved to the hilt of the sword.

The middle-aged businessman seemed to be unconscious, and said with a wry smile: "Yu Gongzi delayed the trip for Qiao, Qiao felt a great favor, and it was unfortunate to say that the concubine Liu Niangfu was bedridden when she arrived in Jinling, and it was only slightly better these days, if it was a peaceful time, Qiao would stay for a few more days, and wait until Liu Niang was well before going on the road, but Yu Gongzi, you also know what the situation is now, even the dignified His Royal Highness King Yu and the envoys of the three feudal clans are in a hurry to leave Jinling, not to mention us businessmen?" I had no choice but to take my concubine to reluctantly hurry, and I was afraid that her illness would worsen, so I could only wait until I got on the boat to slowly recuperate. ”

Yu Xiufu didn't pay attention to what the middle-aged businessman said, two sword-like eyes fell on the young woman who seemed to be about to faint, and his deep gaze seemed to be through the hood that covered the young woman's face, and he looked the young woman's posture up and down, which turned out to be an extremely rude move, and the middle-aged businessman couldn't help but change his color a little, but Yu Xiufu's expression was cold, so cold that he seemed to have no eyes and no lust, and he said thoughtfully for a while: " Yes, I see, it's just that the sea route is difficult, I don't know if Mrs. Ru can survive, Brother Qiao should know the rules of the sea, if he unfortunately dies of illness, I'm afraid he can only be buried at the bottom of the sea, and it is impossible to even bury his homeland, if Mrs. Ru really does not recover, it is better to stay in Jinling and raise it, and if Mrs. Ru is infected with an epidemic, I am afraid that it will kill a boatload of people, and Yu does not dare to let Mrs. Ru get on the boat casually. ”

The middle-aged businessman said with a sad face: " Yu Gongzi, please don't refuse our couple, frankly speaking, the concubine's illness is a little heavier, but it is just not adaptable, and suffered from some wind and cold, as long as it slowly recupeserates, it will be absolutely fine, not to mention the current situation in Jinling, my family's few rock tea gardens, in a few days will be the last time to open the garden, if I miss the return date, those few uncompetitive boys are afraid that they will let the best rock tea rot on the mountain, and please raise your noble hand, if the concubine really dies on the road, I will never embarrass the son, and the sea burial is not hindered, if the son agrees, this year my garden

A few catties of narcissus must be sent to the house. ”

Yu Xiufu's eyes flashed, and after a while, he said lightly: "Okay, Brother Qiao and Mrs. Ru, please get on the boat." After that, he got out of the way, and the middle-aged merchant happily clenched his fists, and then beckoned the maid to help his concubine into the cabin, and when several people passed by the ground, Yu Xiufu did not move, but a guard behind him suddenly stepped on the young woman's cloak dragging the ground, and the two women staggered, and the hood of the cloak slipped down, revealing a youthful face with a flower and moon appearance, and the eyes were half-open and half-closed, with a lazy demeanor, or perhaps because of the fever, the red face seemed to be coated with a layer of rouge, which looked delicate。 The eyes of Yu Xiufu and the two guards fell on the woman's face, and there was no trace of any change, Yu Xiufu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he suddenly stretched out, and said lightly: "The subordinate is reckless, please don't blame Brother Qiao." ”

The middle-aged businessman saw that the concubine still had sweat on her forehead, and was afraid that she would suffer from the wind and cold again, so he hurriedly put the hood on the young woman with the maid, but he didn't dare to question Yu Xiufu, and even the two guards behind Yu Xiufu didn't dare to blame him. Just look at the blades of these two young people, all the officials and people of Southern Fujian know that they must be the dead soldier "Flying Fish Guard" painstakingly cultivated by the Yu family, if they offend them, I am afraid that it is not much better than offending Yu Xiufu, the young master of the Yu family, especially now that he needs to return to Nanmin under the protection of the Yu family, he does not dare to attack, so he just nodded and bowed for a long time, and then took the concubine and the two bodyguards into the cabin.

Yu Xiufu didn't sigh lightly until the middle-aged businessman and his party had entered the cabin, looked at the river bank with his hands, and said indifferently: "Untie the cable, no one will come again." ”

The two young guards behind him looked at each other, they were very close to Yu Xiufu, and naturally understood the young master's thoughts, although they couldn't send the Yu family's subordinates to look for the sword these days, but every time there was a little wind outside, the young master had to think hard for a long time, this time he risked offending the demon emperor to take over so many passenger business, it was obvious that he had ulterior motives, but they were also inconvenient to advise, so they could only watch the young master lose weight day by day, but at this time, he couldn't help but speak, a young man said cautiously: "Young master, you are too worried, even if Mingyue wants to kidnap Miss Qingping and escape, she will not use such a simple means, we have seen all the people on the boat this time, there will definitely be no Miss Qingping, otherwise we people just can't recognize it, can we still hide it from the eyes of the young master? Let's set off, these things are still left to the Tang family and the Demon Emperor to take care of." ”

Yu Xiufu waved his hand away tiredly, he already knew that there were other people who were going to leave this whirlpool that seemed to be able to engulf everyone today, and he also knew that the Demon Emperor would definitely appear on that side, which was also the reason why the wealthy businessmen of Guangdong and Minyue chose to get rid at the same time, as early as when planning this trip, he hoped that Mingyue would escape together among the people in Jiangnan as he expected, this should be a rare opportunity, although there was the same danger, but the result disappointed him after all, even if the group that finally caught up with the boat, there was no trace of Qingping, although the unconscious young woman was suspicious, but with his deep impression of Qingping, but it can be concluded that Liu Niang, who does not look like a girl, is by no means Qingping. In his apprehension, the two big ships have been unmoored one after the other and set off, today may be a good trip, the sails are almost full of rises, the water takes advantage of the wind, it is also extremely fast, the two giant boats are smooth sailing, but for a moment, the cliff of Yanziji has been left far behind. Yu Xiufu looked back blankly, only to feel that half of his heart seemed to have been left in Jinling, where there was a woman who did not know life and death, who was willing to give up his life to save her, but now he had to leave her behind. Father has frequent injuries, has long said that as long as he returns to Nanmin, he will officially pass on the throne to him, and then he will not be able to leave Nanmin casually, and there may not be many opportunities to return to the Central Plains in this life, even if Qingping returns safely, there may never be a chance to reunite, leaving only the lovesickness that makes him miss his life.

Even so, he still silently prayed to the heavens, if the Demon Emperor could really save Qingping, he petitioned to give up the happiness of this life, and he would die without regrets. If Qingping was unlucky, just thinking of this thought, Yu Xiufu couldn't help but clench the hilt of the sword, and a trace of poison flashed in his eyes, in that case, even if he gave up his life, he would find that hateful killer and cut her with a thousand knives. However, maybe he doesn't need to do it himself, he has already managed to leave traces on Mingyue's body, even if it is useless now, after all, the killer's true form will be revealed one day, I just hope it will not be too late. Thinking of this, Yu Xiufu walked to the cabin in frustration and never looked back.
