Thinking that no matter what, his work would not be in vain and he would get the bounty, Jin Dayong, who was called the boss, did not mind the high price demanded by the boatman.
We need to cross the river as soon as possible and leave the Seven Cities completely. To be on the safe side, of course, the farther away we go, the safer it will be.
No matter how the rumors over the years describe the Lord of the Seven Cities, Gu Shen, Mrs. Gu, and City Lord Gu. It may be that she is a puppet manipulated by some big shot behind the scenes, or that she relies on her beauty to win over martial arts masters to work for her.
, more than ten years have passed, and no country that has occupied the city has regained the city from her hands.
On the contrary, the original Three Kingdoms and five cities were expanded to seven cities.
They didn't seize it by force. It was the cooperation of the people and officials in that city that made it her territory.
These are enough to prove that these seven cities should not be underestimated.
Jin Dayong had already made a plan in his heart. After completing this vote, he got the bounty, and from then on he washed his hands and completely quit the world.
Use this money to find a place with a high mountain and far away from the emperor, buy two small shops, buy a big yard, marry a girl from a small family, and slowly take in a few more concubines, and give him more children in the future.
Let them go to academies to study, and if one of their descendants has a promising child, won't the old Jin family begin to move on the right path?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that such a day is so promising.
"What are you looking at? Don't waste time and get on the boat. What's wrong? Afraid of water? I'm afraid of water too, don't we have to get on board?" The brother under his command warned in a low voice when he saw the young man staring at the river.
When the young man heard what he said, he turned to look at the person behind him, then he stepped on the sampan and boarded the boat.
This young man was Ruyi who had been deceived. She was reading a medical book in her room that day when Uncle Leng came and whispered to her the purpose of his visit.
She said that her mother was very worried about the prince of Yangli Kingdom, Qi Qinsheng, and that her father and eldest brother went to the border of Loucheng because of Qi Qinsheng.
Uncle Leng said that there was a way to completely eliminate Qi Qi Sheng, but it was a bit risky. He also said that her mother actually came up with this idea, and that she wanted to be the bait herself and go out to lure Qi Qi Sheng.
Come out, catch and get rid of them.
In this way, the family can be reunited and live a good life without having to dress up as men anymore.
Uncle Leng told her that he already had a plan and asked her if she dared to be the bait for her mother.
She immediately said that she was not afraid, because she had always wanted to do something useful for the family. She did not want to be the protected one all the time, but what she was worried about was that since she had to hide this matter from her mother and father, what would happen in the future?
Do you forgive her?
Uncle Leng said, Silly girl, you are their biological daughter, so precious. After I caught Qi Qinsheng, you were fine and unhurt. At most, I just taught you a lesson and made you promise not to hide anything from your parents again.
Acted without permission.
Also, shouldn’t Uncle Leng and I be the one who should be worried? If I take you to do such a risky thing without telling them, will you forgive Uncle Leng and me afterwards?
When he said this, Ruyi felt it made sense and immediately cooperated and left through the corner door.
In fact, when she left the city gate, she became suspicious. Even if this matter was hidden from her mother and the others, so she couldn't leave the city gate openly, then she wouldn't leave through the tunnel dug in the corner of the city wall, right?
These city walls were built by Uncle Leng and his men. In addition to the city gate, there is also a small secret door for exiting the city.
She had seen it marked on the drawings in her mother's study. It was prepared to prepare for special situations. Only a few people knew about it, so they guarded it so as not to attract the attention of others and did not arrange for anyone to guard it.
But, Uncle Leng didn't go through the ready-made secret door and dug a tunnel instead?
She noticed that the authentic soil was fresh.
Another thing that made her suspicious was that Uncle Leng's expression and reaction all the way seemed very nervous and a little panicked, which was not quite right.
She had been specializing in the art of disguise, so she thought about the possibility that this Uncle Leng could be someone else who disguised himself as Uncle Leng?
After thinking about it this way, and then carefully observing the other person's face, the guess was confirmed. This Uncle Leng was a fake.
Ruyi is very upset, how could he be fooled? With his intelligence, he still wants to help his mother and father? Isn't this just a smart way to cause trouble for his father and mother?
She thought about how to save herself, and how to leave a mark on her mother along the way before finding the opportunity, but it was still too late. The other party didn't know if he guessed her intention, so he tapped her acupoints and stuffed her into a matching car.
carriage.
She was in the carriage and couldn't move. Calling for help? The best place to call for help was in the city.
She didn't know exactly how many accomplices this person had. People kept joining in, people kept changing their clothes, changing their appearance, and then dispersed.
"Uncle Leng" who took her with her also regained his original appearance, changing constantly, riding a carriage and walking.
When walking, he would open her acupuncture points and let her walk on her own, but the other party was watching her too closely, and she had no chance to make any small moves she wanted to do.
She didn't dare to take advantage of the opportunities she couldn't grasp. She was afraid of death and didn't want to die. Her parents, two brothers, and the real Uncle Leng would find a way to find her and save her.
Now, the chance to save ourselves finally comes.
There were only two of them on the other side's road, and they just said they didn't know how to drink water.
But, she can!
Before boarding the boat, she was misunderstood and refused to get on the boat because she was afraid of the water. That was because she was observing the situation on the river.
Unexpectedly, I secretly practiced diving and swimming while hiding, and now I would finally have the opportunity to put it to use.
Ruyi felt nervous at this time. After all, she usually practiced diving in the bathtub at home. Only a few times, Yu Boqing's buddy secretly took her to nearby water pools and mountain streams to practice.
Ruyi told herself in her heart not to panic, but to stay calm.
We must escape before this ship docks.
"I want to relieve myself." After entering the cabin, Ruyi said very cautiously.
Of course, girls are embarrassed to tell strangers, and it was the same several times on the road, so Brother Jin Dayong has gotten used to it.
In my heart, I feel that girls are troublesome, but boys are much more convenient, and nothing is more convenient!
They were looking for money, and they didn't want to embarrass this little girl too much. Besides, she had been really obedient along the way.
After asking the boatman, he pointed to the small room in the back warehouse that was blocked by a cloth curtain and took her in.
Ruyi tried her best to keep herself calm and not to show any flaws. After entering the small room, she discovered a serious problem. This small room didn't even have a window.
In general, shouldn't a toilet like this have a window to diffuse the smell?
She didn't carry a dagger or anything that could pry the warehouse board, and she couldn't buckle it with her hands. She kicked it with her feet. She wasn't sure how to kick it open. What should she do...
