An Qing took the fan pendant and came to the dock boat again.

This time the transaction took place during the day, Shujin was more cautious than last time. He did not park the boat at the dock, but directly let Yu Meng control the boat to sail to an inlet ten miles away from Yuehua City.

An Qing took another boat to the water bay first, and then transferred to the trading boat.

Shuangyu does look much better than last time. His wounds have basically healed and his clothes have been changed cleanly. Except for his face being a little pale and his eyes still being covered, there is not much difference from usual days.

Next to him were two cocoon orcs who were in charge of guarding the business, and the same ferocious merfolk who were in charge of the transaction were still in charge.

"I brought the things, let them go." An Qing shook the fan pendant in her hand and looked around warily, ready to deal with a sudden attack at any time.

Shujin saw the fan pendant through the cocoon orc's eyes and felt very satisfied. Yun Wuzhen carries the fan every day. The fan pendant is custom-made and has a unique moiré pattern that anyone familiar with can recognize it at a glance. The fan pendant is not big, and it cannot be said to be very important.

Even if it is accidentally "lost" somewhere, it is difficult to find it.

After they killed Ao Wu, they dropped the fan on the other person and hid it. Together with the Dreamweaver Xiangfutu wine, this was the irrefutable evidence that Yun Wuzhen had committed murder.

"There is no problem with the things, let's trade first." Shujin gave instructions to the cocoon orcs in a hut not far from the river bend.

After receiving the order, the cocoon beastman untied the rope from Shuangyu. Yu Meng stretched out his hand and motioned to An Qing to hand over the fan pendant.

An Qing knew that for the follow-up plan, the fan pendant must be handed over today. But before that, he wanted to try his best to gain a favorable situation for the two of them.

"You let Shuangyu get off the boat first and send him to the shore."

Yu Meng responded politely and whistled, and a small stream of water around him immediately changed direction, pushing the boat towards the shore.

"Shuang Yu, get off the boat." An Qing ordered.

"Brother..." Shuang Yu hesitated. He didn't know what exactly An Qing was dealing with. He only knew that the other party was cruel, cunning and untrustworthy. He didn't want An Qing to experience what he had experienced.

"What, my words don't work anymore?" An Qing said fiercely.

Shuangyu bit his lower lip and slowly got off the boat to get ashore. Although he barely recovered from his injuries, his body was still very weak. Standing there, he was swaying as if he was about to fall at any time. Shuangyu raised his hand to remove the cloth on his eyes.

His eyes were filled with mist because he could not adapt to the sudden light, but he still tried hard to look in the direction of the docking ship.

An Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shuang Yu coming ashore. She also carefully backed up to the shore. After putting down her fan pendant, she immediately transformed into a frost wolf, jumped down from the side of the boat, landed next to Shuang Yu, and ordered:

"Come up."

Shuang Yu's movements were faster than his thoughts, he skillfully grabbed the fur on the back of An Qing's neck, turned over and lay on An Qing's back.

An Qing led him towards the royal city without looking back. As a member of the hunting team, An Qing's speed was superior among the frost wolves. Even with the humanoid Frost Whisper on his back, he still left the pursuing mermaid far behind.

The wind whistled past their ears, pushing other sounds far away, leaving only the sound of their breathing and heartbeats.

Shuang Yu lay on An Qing's back, her mind was in a mess, everything seemed unreal, and she vaguely felt like she was back when she was a child.

At that time, he had not yet shown his talent as a priest, and his brother did not hate him as much as he does now. They would occasionally run outside to play together. He was in poor health and would feel tired after playing for a long time. He would hug his brother and play tricks, which made him

The elder brother carries him on his back. Although the elder brother may say he dislikes him fiercely, he will eventually transform into a beast and carry him home.

My brother always runs fast and steadily when he is carrying people in his animal form. The fur will emit warmth and can withstand the cold wind in winter.

One time, on the way home, he fell asleep on his brother's back. When he opened his eyes, he had already arrived home. His brother was squatting by the fire in his animal form, and he was on his brother's back. He slept for an unknown amount of time...

Looking back, my brother had not turned his back on him for a long, long time, and even resisted normal contact. When he saw him, he could only hide his disgust on his face.

Shuang Yu knew that his brother was blaming him. His mother left, his father abandoned him, and his brother blamed him.

Shuang Yu didn't feel that he was at fault. When his mother passed away, he didn't remember anything, and he couldn't change his father's prejudice. But Shuang Yu felt sorry for An Qing. He hoped that one day An Qing could come out of the shadow, instead of always being in his father's shadow.

Here, we live with masks.

Shuang Yu lovingly buried her face in the long fur on the back of An Qing's neck. She seemed to want to feel a little of the tenderness she once had through such movements.

An Qing felt Shuang Yu making small movements behind her, and her running movements froze slightly. She reflexively wanted to spit out some harsh words. But for no reason, the image of Shuang Yu screaming at him with blood all over her body flashed in her mind. Those words were stuck in her throat, and suddenly she

I find it boring.

Forget it, just this time. Anyway, if you want to use him later, you should coax this idiot first.

An Qing just pretended not to notice and continued running towards the city with Shuang Yu on her back.

When she was about to reach the city gate, An Qing had to stop. There was a fork in the road ahead, one side next to the river and the other side going into the forest.

An Qing had no doubt that Lin Zhongshu Jin must have set up an ambush, but walking by the river, with the mermaid tribe there, he also had no chance of winning. An Qing backed away slightly, thinking about a strategy to delay time.

Ao Wu promised that he would send someone to respond, but he also said that the responder would not show up too early, at least until the moon comes out, so as not to let the other party see through the plan.

"Protect your brother, Shuangyu lives, you live, he dies, you die." This is Ao Wu's promise to An Qing's last chance to live.

On the dock, Shujin took the fan pendant from Yu Meng and played with it: "An Qing is a smart man. It would be great if he could be as obedient as these cocoon orcs."

The cocoon orc stood aside with his hands tied, indifferent to Shu Jin's words, and just waited obediently for the next order.

"Kill them all and don't let them return to the city alive." Shujin ordered.

Cocoon Orc promised.

"Isn't it a pity?" Yu Meng actually admired An Qing in his heart. In some aspects, An Qing was somewhat similar to Yu Fangqing, the owner of the Nightless Island he was loyal to.

"What a pity?" Shu Jin smiled and said, "It's a pity. He is indeed much smarter and more reliable than my stupid subordinates like me. It's a pity that smart people always have many ideas that they shouldn't have. When this scheming is destined to not be used by me, instead of

It is better to destroy it directly if it is left to create a threat."

"Mermaids like strong opponents." Yu Mengque said. He admires strong people, whether they are strength or brains, whether they are teammates or opponents. Mermaids are proud and fearless, not afraid of failure or death, so they do not understand Shujin's point of view.

"And the cocoon rats like to defeat the strong with the weak." Shu Jin did not expect Yu Meng to understand him. The other party was a natural overlord of the ocean, while the cocoon rats were once just an inconspicuous and weak ethnic group in Southern Xia, not even qualified to live in the sun.

The two sides are not comparable.

If possible, who would want to live in the dark underground?

Precisely because the cocoon rats don't want to be weak forever, they must make calculations, no matter how despicable the methods are, for the sake of a bright future for their own tribe. Sooner or later, they will trample under their feet all those who think they are "strong".

"Senior brother, the moon is coming out." Shuran urged.

"Then Mr. Lao Yumeng is here." Shujin calmed down and said, "Get ready to take action."

The last ray of the setting sun was hidden in the dark night. A full moon hung high in the sky, and the clear light of the full moon poured down from the sky above Yuehua City, illuminating the simple and atmospheric courtyard of the palace.

There is a square table in the pavilion in the center of Zuiyue Pond, with various delicacies piled on it. Yun Wuzhen and Ao Wu sit on each side, and Hang Shiqi sits next to Ao Wu. The three of them push cups and change cups, which is very comfortable.

"If you want to drink Buddha wine, you have found the right person. The snow on the mountain has not melted yet this year. I saved the Buddha wine last year, but I only have these two jars in my hand." Yun Wuzhen said and gave it to Hang Shiqi and Ao Wu.

Pouring a cup: "Have a try."

The three of them looked at each other, clinked their wine glasses, and drank the whole drink.

"Cough, cough, cough, it's so spicy." Hang Shiqi took a sip, and the spicy wine burned down his throat and into his stomach. It was choked back into his nose, and he coughed until his face turned red.

"Hahaha, Xiao Qi doesn't know how to drink? Come on, brother will teach you how to drink this kind of wine..."

"You're going to teach me?" Ao Wu glanced at Hang Shiqi, who was so hot that he stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm curious and I've tried it. If you don't like it, don't force it."

"Then I'll give you this cup too." Hang Shiqi put the wine in Ao Wu's hand obediently.

"Hey, I only took out the precious wine for Xiao Qi's sake, but I didn't expect that it would be an advantage for His Highness the Wolf King." Yun Wuzhen said aggrievedly.

The three of them chatted, and Yun Wuzhen was basically talking about everything from the romance to his past love affairs, and Ao Wu occasionally said a few words. Hang Shiqi usually talked a lot, but today he had too many things on his mind.

Instead, he felt a little absent-minded.

After three rounds of drinking, Ao Wu's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes looked a bit drunk. He supported his head with one hand, shook his whole body back and forth, and shook his head again, as if he was trying to stay awake.

At this moment, Hang Shiqi felt his movements stiffen and lost control of his body.

"You're drunk, His Highness the Wolf King." Hang Shiqi heard himself saying to Ao Wu in a greasy voice. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and grabbed one of Ao Wu's arms: "I'll take you back to rest."

It was Shujin who snatched control of his body from him.

Yun Wuzhen's face showed just the right amount of surprise, and he joked as if he didn't know anything: "You are drunk now. Is His Highness the Wolf King such a bad drinker?"

Ao Wu raised his head and glared at Yun Wuzhen, and then he put half of his body weight on Hang Shiqi. He seemed to be too drunk to stand up straight.

"Hey, he's so heavy. Can you help me, young prince?" Shu Jin staggered a step and shouted as if he couldn't hold himself up.

Hang Shiqi felt aggrieved at being controlled. He was thinner than Ao Wu, but he was very strong. Not to mention supporting Ao Wu, even if the princess carried him upstairs, it wouldn't be a big problem. No one needed help.

Naturally, Shujin was not trying to save Hang Shiqi's energy, he just wanted to find a reason to trick Yun Wuzhen into the room so that he could frame the blame.

"Xiao Shiqi asks, of course I am willing to help." Yun Wuzhen obediently supported Ao Wu from the other side.

Along the pavilion in the center of the lake, there is a corridor leading to the residence. Yun Wuzhen deliberately asked Ao Wu to walk in the middle of the corridor to prevent him from being illuminated by the moonlight. Shujin did not understand the key and followed Yun Wuzhen's instructions.

The action on the other side controls Hang Shiqi to support Ao Wu.

Ao Jing, Hu Yi, and Hu San heard the noise and immediately appeared in front of the three of them.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"Young prince, please let me come down."

"No, His Royal Highness the Wolf King is just drunk. The young prince and I will help him back to the room to rest while you eat." Shujin replied calmly.

Hearing the words "His Royal Highness the Wolf King", Ao Jing immediately determined that Shu Jin had possessed Hang Shiqi. After all, Hang Shiqi would never address Ao Wu so respectfully.

So Ao Jing took a step away obediently and made room for the two of them: "Yes."

Shujin controlled Hang Shiqi and Yun Wuzhen to help Ao Wu back to the room one by one.

When he returned to the room, Ao Wu seemed to be so drunk that he lost consciousness, hanging on Hang Qiqi and Yun Wuzhen.
