"Damn, this little girl dived into the water, catch her quickly."
Nowadays, although it is not winter, it is not midsummer either.
The moment she entered the water, Lu Wanjie felt the river water was so cold that she almost fainted on the spot.
But knowing that if she fainted, she would definitely be insulted. Lu Wanjie did not dare to stop. She held her breath and slid her arms. She endured the coldness that almost penetrated her heart and swam forward with all her strength.
She couldn't swim, let alone hold her breath, but she didn't dare to raise her head when she heard the continuous splash of water.
She just thought that even if she drowned, she would not be caught by the other party.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt a tightness in my waist, and an arm stretched out from behind to wrap around myself.
Lu Wanjie was shocked and immediately stretched out her legs to kick him.
Unexpectedly, the man behind him was extremely flexible. He turned over and came to Lu Wanjie's side. His hands clasped Lu Wanjie's arms somewhere, leaving her unable to use any strength.
Then, Lu Wanjie was surrounded by the person behind her.
As soon as she pressed up against him, Lu Wanjie immediately felt that the person behind her was a woman.
The woman kicked her feet several times, and the two of them emerged from the water. Lu Wanjie just coughed twice, and before she could take a breath, someone pinched her chin.
The woman behind her grabbed her face and turned to take a look, then loudly said: "I found it, she must be right."
There was joy in her voice.
As soon as Lu Wanjie got free, she immediately hit her back with her elbows.
Unexpectedly, the woman reacted quickly. She pinched Lu Wanjie's acupuncture points with both arms and captured her. She said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, girl, we are here to save you."
"Are you Miss Lu's family?"
"Looking at the dimples, you must be right."
"Hey, come here quickly, it's over here!"
Before Lu Wanjie could react, a sound of river water was heard in the distance, and a small boat with several large lanterns sailed over.
The woman was very good at water. She straightened her back and pushed Lu Wanjie to the side of the boat. Then the people above stretched out their hands and lifted her up.
Leaving the water, wisps of biting river wind pierced Lu Wanjie's body like needles.
Not long after, one A thick quilt was thrown over her head and face, covering Lu Wanjie from top to bottom, left and right.
Then the woman in the water climbed onto the boat, took off a cloak from a soldier in armor and wrapped it around her body.
Lu Wanjie shivered and looked around. There were soldiers in bright armor standing on several small boats around.
They should be the soldiers those water thieves mentioned.
The water thieves did not fare well either. A small boat they were chased overturned the boat they were riding in. Several of them were stabbed to death on the spot before they could even surface.
The woman came over and took a look at Lu Wanjie: "This little girl is quite beautiful, but she is a bit older and does not suit His Highness."
After hearing the first words, Lu Wanjie blushed subconsciously.
But after hearing the next words, Lu Wanjie realized something was wrong.
Your Highness?
What the hell?
Could it be that the prince has arrived?
Before she could react for a while, when she turned back, she was already in the middle of several large ships.
The soldiers around her were pulled onto the boat by the people above, and she was also held by the woman and got on the boat together.
After the woman got on the boat, she walked up to a woman whose appearance was comparable to that of a fairy descending to earth and said: "My dear, we have found him."
The woman nodded slightly, looked back at Lu Wanjie, and sneered, "Send it to that boy."
…
When Lu Wanjie was led into the cabin, before she could see the situation clearly, she was rushed into her arms.
"Miss, I thought I would never see you again."
"Purple peach?"
When she saw clearly who was coming, Lu Wanjie was also overjoyed. She pulled Zitao and burst into tears instantly.
"Are you okay?"
"Is it hurt?"
Zitao shook her head and said: "Thanks to Your Highness, it was His Highness's people who saved me and drove away the water."
thief."
Your Highness?
Your Highness again.
Lu Wanjie also wanted to know which His Highness saved her.
But when she raised her head and looked around, there was no one there, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious...??.
"Where is Your Highness?"
"Take me over quickly and take a look."
"We have to thank him properly for saving your life and mine."
At this moment, Li Chengqian, who was standing behind Zitao, had a dark face.
Are you that short?
Can't you see yourself?
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, cleared his throat and said, "His Royal Highness is here."
When she saw Li Chengqian, Lu Wanjie was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.
"It's you?"
"If it's not me, who else could it be?"
Li Chengqian clasped his hands behind his back and tilted his head: "Or do you think, who can rescue you after being well fed?"
Originally, Lu Wanjie wanted to thank him for his life-saving grace.
But as soon as Li Chengqian said these words, Lu Wanjie was not happy.
How can I save myself from having enough to eat?
Lu Wanjie blushed and said nothing.
Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously. He waved his hands casually and said, "Okay, okay. You don't need to thank me. Who told God to have the virtue of a good life?"
After saying that, Li Chengqian asked again: "But I'm very surprised. If you don't stay well in Chang'an City, why are you here?"
"I want you to take care of it?"
Lu Wanjie pouted dissatisfiedly and looked away.
"Hey, I just saved your life?"
"Is this how you treat your savior?"
Li Chengqian was speechless.
"My young lady and my wife were going to Suzhou for a wedding trip, and they happened to encounter a water thief..."
Zitao quickly smoothed things over: "Your Highness, Miss is scared, please don't be offended."
"Don't be surprised, don't be surprised." > Li Chengqian waved his hand indifferently.
"But I have to tell you some bad news. I haven't found your grandmother's boat. It's obviously impossible to send you there to join us."
Hearing this, Zitao and Lu Wanjie looked at each other, and bitterness crept onto their cheeks.
"But, Your Highness has an idea."
The two of them turned around and looked at Li Chengqian in confusion.
"I happen to be going to Suzhou on this trip, so I reluctantly take you with me."
Li Chengqian raised his head with pride on his face.
"If you agree, I will have people waiting at the shore soon."
"If I meet the old lady of the Lu family, I will ask someone to tell her that you are very safe with me."
"If you don't agree, I'll have someone take you off the ferry at the front. As for how you want to go, it's up to you."
Hearing this, the master and servant looked at each other.
It would be good to follow Li Chengqian.
Apart from anything else, at least food and clothing are definitely indispensable.
And with the protection of these soldiers, there is no need to worry about water thieves or anything like that.
But because of the previous incidents, Lu Wanjie had a very bad impression of Li Chengqian.
Otherwise, Li Chengqian would not be able to receive anger points even at home.
But if she doesn't follow Li Chengqian, what else can she do?
Even if I disembark at the ferry in front, there is no certainty that my grandmother will stop.
It would be okay if he stopped, but if he didn't stop, wouldn't he have missed his grandmother?
After weighing the pros and cons, she also felt that it was the best choice to go with Li Chengqian and go to her relatives' house to wait for her grandmother.
But she couldn't say these words, after all, she had said harsh words to Li Chengqian just now.
Seeing this, Zitao on the side couldn't help shaking her head and sighing.
It is a good character for my young lady to be reserved and polite, but if she insists on saving face at this time, isn't she suffering a lot?
Looking at Li Chengqian, Zitao had a smile on her face: "Your Highness, let's go with you. Is this really okay..."
