The surface of the river was dark, and the sounds of water birds came from the reeds. The river was gurgling, and occasionally fish jumped out from the water, making crackling sounds.
Occasional sounds reflect the tranquility of the river.
The oil lamp illuminated the surrounding area two meters away. A small stove was burning a pot of fresh fish soup, and a wine gourd was next to it.
The old man was sitting in the cabin, with a fishing rod in his hand extending out of the cabin and into the dark river surface.
A puppy was running around and having fun on the shore.
Occasionally a frog jumped up on the ground, and the little yellow dog immediately pounced on it.
Suddenly, the little yellow dog stood up and stared to the northwest with vigilance.
The dog's mouth slowly opened, revealing its canine teeth, and a deep sound came from its throat.
Woo... woof woof woof...
The little yellow dog barks to the northwest!
The old man in the cabin heard the sound, looked back into the dark night, stuck the fishing rod on the wooden board, and landed lightly on the shore.
"Lao Feng!"
An old voice came from the dark night.
The fisherman named Lao Feng immediately rushed into the darkness and saw a huge black shadow, and at the same time there was a foul smell of blood.
"Pan Longlegs! What are you carrying? Who is hurt?"
It was too dark at night for Lao Feng to see clearly, but he could tell from the smell that the person on his back was badly injured.
"President!"
Long-legged Pan replied breathlessly.
Lao Feng was shocked and asked: "Who dares to hurt the president like this?"
Long-legged Pan didn't have time to explain, so he said: "Set the boat to Jinling, be quick!"
Lao Feng immediately pulled out a larger speed boat from the reed swamp, and Long-Legged Pan jumped on board.
Because he was carrying Ji Ba on his back, the boat was shaken around.
Lao Feng immediately stabilized the ship.
"Ah Huang! Come up!"
Lao Feng shouted, and the little yellow dog took a run and jumped onto the clipper.
The old wind picked up the sails of the boat and took advantage of the night wind to fly along the river towards Jinling.
Long-legged Pan gently put Ji Ba down and sighed: "God bless, may the president be safe and sound!"
Long-legged Pan is about 50 years old. His legs are very long and very strong. At first glance, he has amazing leg strength.
Lao Feng looked back and focused on controlling the sail.
Boating at night is very dangerous. Unless the situation is urgent, even a veteran would not dare to boat at night.
"Old Pan, what's going on?"
Lao Feng couldn't understand why Ji Ba was injured like this?
"It's all that thief Long Chengen!"
Long-legged Pan told the whole story.
This long-legged Pan is the master who escaped from the giant forest.
Long-legged Pan belongs to the shadow department and is responsible for secretly protecting Ji Ba.
When the big ship exploded in the middle of the river, four people immediately jumped into the river to fish for people.
Niu Yang and Gao Nian died on the spot. Ji Ba was not killed on the spot because he was sitting next to Niu Yang, separated by a person. Although his arms and legs were broken and his stomach was torn apart, he was not killed on the spot.
The four people picked up Ji Ba and found that Ji Ba had passed out.
The four of them did not dare to stay by the river, as they knew that Long Chen would definitely pursue him.
So, they fled all the way into the giant forest.
When they arrive at the Giant Wood Forest, if Ji Ba is not treated, he may have to return to the west.
So, the four people set up a trap to ambush, the doctor was responsible for treating, and the others were responsible for killing Long Chen.
They originally thought that the only person chasing them was Long Chen.
However, what they didn't expect was that there were actually five people chasing them, and all five of them were Martial Emperor masters.
In desperation, they came up with a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Long Chen had already left the giant forest, but soon realized something was wrong and went back to kill him.
After being exposed, the four top masters of the film department made a plan. Long-legged Pan, who had good leg strength, would carry Ji Ba on his back and escape.
The other three people were used as bait and even killed one of his men who was pretending to be Ji Ba.
The three of them managed to get through and attracted Long Chen's attention. Long-legged Pan took the opportunity to escape.
After leaving the giant forest, we ran all the way here.
Originally, Lao Feng was just a contact point.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a life-saving straw.
After listening to Long-Legs Pan's narration, Lao Feng felt incredible.
"I've heard long ago that Long Cheng'en is lawless in his actions. I didn't expect that he would dare to attack our world!"
Long-legged Pan looked at Ji Ba who was wrapped in a rice dumpling, gritted his teeth and said: "This guy is too arrogant and cruel! I don't know what means he used, but he actually shattered the big ship in an instant, and the two elders died on the spot!"
Gunpowder was a new thing, they didn't understand it at all, and they didn't know what happened when they were killed.
"I will definitely avenge this revenge! I will definitely cut that eunuch into thousands of pieces!"
Long-legged Pan cursed fiercely.
Lao Feng sighed and stopped talking. Instead, he concentrated on controlling the sails and rudder, drifting rapidly down the dark river.
....
Nanliang, Jinling.
Yu Fuguo hurriedly left the Imperial City Division, rode into the palace, and arrived at Xuanji Temple.
It was already dark at this time, and there were two stone sculptures at the entrance of the Taoist temple. They were hollow inside and lit with oil lamps, illuminating some areas of the entrance.
Yu Fuguo dismounted and quickly entered the Taoist temple.
Xuanjizi and Li Jiye had just had dinner and were still discussing government affairs.
"Your Highness, Taoist Priest."
Yu Fuguo came in and saluted.
"Mr. Fish, please sit down."
Xuanjizi stood up to greet him.
Yufu Guo is now the head of the Imperial City Department, and his status is actually very high.
Yu Fuguo sat down, and the servant quickly came over to pour tea, and then left.
There were only three people left in the room.
Yu Fuguo then spoke slowly and said: "I found out that there is an old eunuch in the palace, named Lao Hai."
"After the palace caught fire, Lao Hai disappeared."
"I thought this guy was burned to death, but after cleaning up the scene, his body was not found."
"Later I asked other people, and Mr. Hai said that there might be a fire in the palace, which is very suspicious."
"I sent someone to question him, but he ran away."
Li Jiye felt strange when he heard this and asked, "But why did the old eunuch in the palace set fire to the palace?"
Xuanjizi also felt strange and said: "If it is a young eunuch, he may be resentful, and it is understandable to set the fire."
"The old eunuch has been in the palace for so many years, so he should have been used to it. How could he set fire to it?"
Although the young eunuch has been cut off, his hormones are still secreted. Sometimes he will feel uncomfortable and panic, and then he will become resentful and eventually lead to arson.
This possibility exists.
But the old eunuch is already old, so this problem does not exist.
Yu Fuguo nodded and said: "I also find it strange, so I will investigate thoroughly."
"Your Highness and the Taoist Master will never guess the reason."
Xuanjizi and Li Jiye waited for Yu Fuguo to speak.
"That Lao Hai is a member of Tianxiahui!"
Yu Fuguo's voice was low and he tried to speak as softly as possible.
hiss...
Li Jiye cursed: "How dare the Tianxiahui burn down my father's palace? Do they want to rebel?"
Xuanjizi and Yu Fuguo looked at Li Jiye calmly.
Li Jiye slowly calmed down and said helplessly: "The world will be lawless and even dare to burn down my father's palace."
The world will never do anything regardless of national laws and family rules, just do whatever you want.
So what if the palace is burned down?
Xuanjizi was a little strange and asked: "The World Association has no grudge against me, Daliang, so why did you burn down the palace of the superior?"
Li Jiye said coldly: "Last time they asked to see my father, he turned them away. They probably had a grudge!"
