Murong Fu always felt that her words had a profound meaning, but at this time he did not dare to continue to dwell on this issue. The more he said, the more he would be wrong.
, "Rou'er, the matter is urgent. I can't stay here any longer. I have to go back. You can rest assured and rest in peace. Someone will pick you up in a few days."
Zeng Roudeng was immediately anxious, "Brother Murong, I'm fine. I can go with you...with you."
Murong Fu stroked her vest, "How can you withstand the torment when your new melon is first broken..."
Zeng Rou had just committed herself to him. She didn't want to be separated from him. She immediately shook her head and said, "It's okay. This place is not far from Yanziwu. I don't want to be separated from Brother Murong."
"Okay, then I'll ask Mrs. Wen to come over and help you clean up, and we'll set off immediately." Murong Fu pondered for a long time, then nodded and agreed. In fact, he had expected that Zeng Rou would not agree, and what he just said was just an excuse.
Just dispel her doubts.
Zeng Rou rolled her eyes at him, "Look what you said, Sister Luo is not my servant, how can I ask her to do this? Besides, I am not seriously injured and bedridden, it's just...just..."
"It just hurts when you move, right?" Murong Fu said with a bad smile.
"If I don't comply, Brother Murong will be ashamed of others."
…
Then Murong Fu helped her clean up briefly, and the two of them came to Luo Bing's room together.
Just as Zeng Rou was about to speak, Murong Fu said first, "Mrs. Wen, Rou'er and I are leaving today, but the things we entrusted you with earlier have been forgotten."
Luo Bing was confused, but when he saw him blinking at her vaguely, he nodded and said, "That's fine."
Then she looked at Zeng Rou and said, "Sister Zeng has found a good place to go. Poor sister, I will be alone from now on, wandering alone."
Zeng Rou hesitated for a moment and then said to Murong Fu, "Brother Murong, why don't you ask Sister Luo to come back to Yanziwu with us?"
Luo Bing had saved her life first, and the two had been together for another year. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were as close as sisters, so naturally they couldn't bear to have her wandering around.
Murong Fu secretly rolled his eyes and replied with a smile on his face, "If Mrs. Wen doesn't dislike it, I will naturally not object."
Luo Bing had decided to follow Murong Fu until he found Wen Tailai, so of course he would not object, "Then I will shamelessly take advantage of my sister."
The three of them packed up, took the carriage prepared by Shopkeeper Li, and drove towards the town.
After returning to the town and picking up Ren Yingying, Murong Fu had to give her another explanation.
Ren Yingying stared at Zeng Rou with cold eyes, "Who is she?"
"She is also my friend," Murong Fu said with a smile, "Let's leave early."
Ren Yingying snorted and got into the carriage with a cold face. At this point, the three women gathered in the carriage and no one spoke. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Murong Fu had already expected this, so he did not enter the carriage and sat outside with the driver.
Time passed, and three hours passed. The carriage swayed and finally arrived at a pier on the shore of Taihu Lake.
"I'm finally back. In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. I really miss home." Looking at the quiet lake, Murong Fu said with emotion.
"Brother Murong, you have been away from home for a year?" Zeng Rou said in surprise.
"Yes," Murong Fu sighed inexplicably, "Counting the time, I have been running around outside for more than a year."
Zeng Rou couldn't help but think of Wang Wushan, and her face darkened, "Maybe I haven't been home for a long time. I wonder how the Ninth Princess and Master are doing..."
"Who said you didn't go home?" Murong Fu said seriously, "Yanziwu will be your home from now on, and you are going home now."
Zeng Rou felt her heart heat up when she heard this, "Thank you, Brother Murong."
"Hmph, have you two been numb enough? There's not even a shadow of a ghost here. How can I reply with my mouth?" But Ren Yingying suddenly interrupted.
Luo Bing also said, "Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a ship here."
Murong Fu looked around and couldn't help but be stunned. The area around the pier was empty, with no people and no boats. This was not normal. Yanziwu had issued a strict order that all piers near Taihu Lake must be guarded around the clock, and there would never be any empty ones.
The situation of no one.
"Could it be..." Murong Fu's face condensed slightly as he thought of some possibility.
"Brother Murong, what happened?" Zeng Rou asked.
Murong Fu's expression softened, "It's nothing, maybe the person guarding the dock is lazy."
After saying that, he took out a small wooden tube from his waist, and heard a loud bang, and colorful fireworks were sprinkled into the sky.
The three women understood that he was sending signals, so they were not surprised.
After the signal was sent, after waiting for nearly a stick of incense, there was still no movement on the lake. Ren Yingying became a little impatient, "I said, can't the Murong family buy a few more boats and put them on the pier? This is normal.
That's all, if something happens, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
Murong Fu did not answer, his brows furrowed into the word "Chuan", obviously he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. As Ren Yingying said, there are no less than seven or eight idle ships on the piers around Taihu Lake, and
Now there is not a single ship. There is only one possibility, and that is that something happened to Yanziwu and all the ships were recovered.
Zeng Rou noticed Murong Fu's expression and made a silent gesture towards Ren Yingying.
Murong Fu was silent for a moment and said, "Wait another quarter of an hour. If the boat doesn't come yet, you can go to a nearby town and find an inn to stay."
"What about you?" Ren Yingying asked.
"Of course I have to go back to Yanziwu. It's such a big deal, and I, the head of the family, can't handle it without me."
"You don't want to fly across Taihu Lake in thin air, do you?" Luo Bing said in surprise.
Murong Fu shook his head and smiled without saying anything. It was naturally impossible to fly across Taihu Lake. He only needed to fly to Qinyun Xiaozhu, which was not difficult to do with his current skills.
"It's coming, it's coming, a boat is coming." Zeng Rou suddenly said in surprise.
The other three people followed the sound and saw a small boat on the lake. There was a small green dot on the bow of the boat.
"It's Abi here." Murong Fu said immediately.
The boat was very fast, just like a swimming fish. In less than a quarter of an hour, it had traveled several miles and was only a few dozen feet away from the dock. Standing on the bow of the boat was a petite figure, Xiaojiabiyu, waiting eagerly.
"Master!" Abi saw Murong Fu on the dock from a distance and shouted, with deep joy in her tone.
Murong Fu waved his hand, "Abi, it's me."
Soon, the boat arrived at the pier. Abi jumped off the bow, took three steps at a time and came to Murong Fu. She paused suddenly and bowed, "My little maid, see you, Young Master."
Abi's soft words can turn any piece of steel into softness around the fingers. At the same time, she is also the softest place in Murong Fu's heart. As long as he sees this lovely girl, no matter how depressed he is, his mood will disappear.
When things get better, no matter how hard your heart is, it will soften.
After being separated for a year, Murong Fu missed this little girl very much. He immediately opened his hands and hugged her, "Haha, long time no see. Please let me hug you."
Abi felt ashamed, but also overjoyed, so she had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted.
"Hey, why did Abi lose weight?" Murong Fu suddenly exclaimed, "You must have failed to take good care of yourself. Master, I will punish you!"
Abi knew that he was mostly teasing, but she still felt a hint of sweetness in her heart, and said in a disgusting voice, "No matter how young master wants to punish Abi, Abi will bear it."
Murong Fu pinched her nose and said, "Good Abi, I know you are the most obedient."
"Ahem," Ren Yingying couldn't stand it anymore and coughed dryly, "Are you done? There are still three living people here."
Abi's face turned red, she gently broke away from Murong Fu's arms, glanced at the three girls, and first saluted Ren Yingying and Zeng Rou, "Miss Ren, Miss Zeng."
Both of these women had been to Yanziwu before, and she had hosted them, so they knew each other. Ren Yingying was just an acquaintance, but Zeng Rou was quite familiar with them.
On the other hand, Abi took a closer look at Luo Bing next to the two girls, and couldn't help but secretly marvel. This woman looked like a puddle of water, with a gentle and charming look to her.
"I wonder what the relationship between this woman and the young master is..." Such a thought flashed through Abi's mind, and then she gave a blessing, "I wonder who this sister is?"
Luo Bing liked Abi from the first moment he saw her. He hurriedly helped her up and said, "My name is Luo Bing. If you don't give up, you can call me Sister Bing or Sister Luo."
Abi suddenly nodded, "It turns out to be the famous Sister Luo Bing of the 'Mandarin Duck Sword'. Abi is a little maid, how dare she feel disgusted with her, but Abi is so high up."
"You're welcome, sister Abi." Luo Bing said with a hearty smile.
Murong Fu knew that Luo Bing was generous by nature, but seeing her being so affectionate with Abi made him feel a bit disgusted. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's get on the boat first."
The group of people boarded the boat, and Murong Fu called Abi to the bow alone, "Abi, what happened to Yanziwu? Why have all the ships been recalled?"
Abi's little face became slightly solemn when she heard this, "I was about to report this to the young master. I heard that something happened at Yanziwu last night. However, I was not on the island last night. The specific reason is not clear. I just received a call from Miss Xue'er.
According to the order, the Yanziwu Islands have entered a first-level alert state, and all incoming and outgoing ships have been recalled. No one is allowed to pass without Miss Xueer's warrant."
"Oh? So serious!" Murong Fu raised his eyebrows slightly. The so-called "level one alert state" is actually the highest alert state of Yanziwu. All ships and personnel must go through strict review. Even the transmission of information is no exception.
All light and dark guards were completely replaced by Lingxiao Pavilion disciples. Once anyone acting suspiciously was found, they would be killed on the spot.
Such a strict alert order would not be activated unless life and death was at stake. Unexpectedly, Murong Xue actually directly ordered to enter the first level alert state. This shows that the matter is more serious than he imagined.
"Young master, don't worry too much. Yanziwu is now taken over by Lingxiao Pavilion. Miss Li and Fourth Master Feng have returned to the island. Even if something happens, they can handle it calmly." Abi saw the worry on his face and said
He said comfortingly.
Murong Fu shook his head and said nothing. He had a vague premonition in his heart.
