After sending Jin Chengan away, Lin Yutong asked Sanxi to invite Grandma He.
Aunt He came very quickly. After hearing Lin Yutong's intention to send the child away, her eyes flashed and she responded: "That's fine! It's just..." She stopped talking and glanced aside.
The three joys of serving.
Lin Yutong nodded towards Sanxi, and then the girl blessed Aunt He and turned around to go out.
Aunt He came close to Lin Yutong this time: "Brother Yuan is also the girl's nephew. So I ask this girl from the Qi family to take..."
Lin Yutong has never thought much about the issue of whether to kiss his nephew or not. It's just that the child does not have the love of his biological parents. After all, he is pitiful. During these days in the palace, Lin Yutong has never cared about it or asked about it. He has asked too many questions.
, which makes those who serve the child tremble, because the child may not grow up and die young. But she also knows that Grandma He is taking care of all the chores inside and outside the palace, and the child
She didn't suffer the same consequences. But when Aunt He mentioned it now, Lin Yutong felt very strange. Mrs. Gan didn't like the Lin family, and Aunt He didn't like the Lin family. Especially Lin Yuzhi, Brother Yuan's biological mother, was once regarded as Gan.
The eldest daughter of the family concubine. And because of this eldest daughter, the newlyweds separated from each other. As for Lin Yuzhi, Gan does not remember this person at all now, so naturally she will not be as knowledgeable as a small person. But even if Aunt He does not step on her, she will not
You would be so kind and want to help.
She looked at Aunt He in confusion: "This is what Jin Chengan proposed to me. And I also think that forcing this child to stay in the palace will sooner or later be a trouble. As for when they bring it back, who should raise the child?
, I don’t want to get involved. I can’t bring myself to cause this trouble. If I interfere once, they will take advantage of it.”
Aunt He's lips moved: "Old slave, I just think... that child is pitiful. Master and girl are separated like mother and daughter. If this child really wants to follow... I'm afraid..." It's more dangerous than good!
Lin Yutong looked at Aunt He with sharp eyes: "Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it. No need to be so hesitant."
"Girl..." Grandma He bowed solemnly, "Girl, I have never done anything wrong to my master in my life."
This preface does not match the subtitle, what exactly is it trying to say?
Lin Yutong nodded: "I know this. My loyal mother also knows this."
Aunt He shook her head, with a bitter smile on her face: "Girl, I'm not showing off my merits. I just want to bring blessings to my master!"
The meaning of this statement seems to be somewhat related to the root form.
"That's my mother!" Lin Yutong pointed to the chair and asked Aunt He to sit down. Then she said: "Whatever you want to say, just say it. You are an old man who has followed your mother. You have watched your mother grow up and stayed with you."
Mother has been here all the way. She has had a bad life these years, and you are probably suffering more than her. I know what you mean. My mother...I can see it now. She is becoming more and more intolerant of listening.
People say...if you don't say this, betrayal will not be your turn."
Aunt He's eye circles suddenly turned red, and she whispered: "The girl said that, and I felt at ease. Today I want to remind the girl that if there is anyone in this clan who is close to the girl, she might as well
Help me... rescue me secretly!" After saying that, he stood up, turned around and walked away while Lin Yutong was stunned. Before going out, he paused and said without looking back: "The grandson of Prince Yu's family left the palace this morning.
At that time, he fell off his horse and died on the spot. Marquis Lin went to investigate, but the results have not been reported yet, but now there are rumors outside, and several princes have been dragged in. There are all kinds of things. "
Lin Yutong's face darkened. Prince Yu's grandson was the boy who gave up his filial son's seat last night. He was so proud that he died before dawn. And now the rumors have involved several princes' palaces.
, you don’t need to ask to know what these so-called rumors are. It is nothing more than the possibility that these families may harm Prince Yu’s grandson.
Lin Yutong would naturally think about this if she had to leave it alone. However, these words came from Grandma He, and they happened to be after she told herself to save the person who should be saved. This is thought-provoking.
.
The clan is moving south, and it’s not that they want to die, so why do they need to save it themselves? Aunt He is so sure, and the person who goes here will only be in bad luck! Why is she so sure? That’s because she knows someone is going to take action.
And the person who took action, without asking, knew that it was the Gan family! The Gan family wanted to wipe out the entire clan.
The reason why Aunt He revealed the information to her was probably because she felt that killing was too serious! For example, Brother Yuan was still an infant and didn’t understand anything. He was even a miserable child who met a confused mother.
, his arrogant father pushed his supposedly safe life onto a rough and treacherous track. Just raising him in the palace made his future life more difficult than others. Such a child will die.
, who can bear it? What's more, there are many people here who can't get into trouble, such as the eldest princess Wenhui. She cares about things and does stupid things, but she doesn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, Jing'an
But the Hou's face cannot be ignored. Don't forget that the Marquis of Jingan was ordered to go south at the critical moment and was supervising the war at the border. At this time, if someone's family members died in an 'accident', the consequences are simply unimaginable. There is even a queen who plans to move south with the clan.
, this matter could not have gone so smoothly without the cooperation of the Queen. If the Queen also had an 'accident', it would be really chilling! There are few real fools in the world, and there are not so many coincidences.
An accident caused the entire clan to die. When something really happened, Gan and himself were the first to be suspected.
Lin Yutong sighed, mother and daughter are one, and in the eyes of others, she, the daughter, cannot be unaware of everything Gan does. Therefore, whether she is willing or not, she has become an insider or even a conspirator.
Where can one go to reason with this!
She is not the Holy Mother. There are people who deserve to die in this world, and there are also people who should not die. The same goes for the people in this clan. There are a few people who really deserve to die. In addition, there are some people here who are determined not to die. Therefore, I
Really need to be saved.
"Come here!" Lin Yutong shouted outside.
Sanxi hurriedly walked in: "Master, what's the matter?"
Lin Yutong called Sanxi to come over and gave detailed instructions in a low voice.
Sanxi was stunned: "You said you asked Wencai to handle it?"
Lin Yutong glanced at Sanxi: "Go ahead. Do as I say."
Sanxi nodded and hurriedly came out of the hall. In the middle of the morning, he personally took Brother Yuan and his nanny out of the palace and returned to Duke Jin's Mansion. The group was very low-key and no one was disturbed.
At this moment, Mrs. Gan looked at the messy mourning hall, kneeling there without moving. Aunt He hurriedly walked in and knelt beside Mr. Gan.
Mr. Gan whispered: "Did you say it?"
A trace of guilt flashed in Nanny He's eyes: "Yes! I said it!" She clasped her hands tightly, "If you have any ideas, tell the girl in detail, mother and daughter will discuss it. You asked me to reveal the news to
Girl, what’s the purpose? Since these people don’t deserve to die, why don’t you let them live forever? Why bother deliberately arranging for the girl to be rescued? The old slave can no longer see through the master’s thoughts.”
Mr. Gan chuckled: "There are no people in this world who don't deserve to die. There are so many people who don't deserve to die. Should my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law deserve to die? It just depends on their own luck and destiny."
Grandma He became more and more confused. Did she want to save or kill?
Mrs. Gan, however, did not explain much to Aunt He: "I will tell you in advance the place and time of arranging the attack. You can tell Yunyin secretly and ask her to rescue people."
Aunt He frowned, but still responded. When she came out of the mourning hall, her eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that the master wanted to be a bad person and asked the girl to be a good person?
With this thought in her mind, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was really the case. Suddenly, the discomfort in her heart disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
In the middle of the night, the mourning hall was still brightly lit. But except for the palace attendants who were dozing off, there was no one keeping watch.
The members of the clan are all busy with their own affairs. Who has time to deal with a dead man? Since it is an evacuation, time is of course tight. This big family is not allowed to take anything with them when they go out, including food and clothing. But the boats are limited and can be taken away.
Naturally, there are not many. Therefore, every household seems to be very busy. They have no idea what is waiting for them.
Mrs. Gan stood alone outside the mourning hall, looking at the dark night sky. Even though the sky was overcast and she couldn't see anything, she stood stubbornly.
When Taoist Master Liaoxu came over, Mrs. Gan did not look back and only asked: "You're here?"
Liao Xu nodded: "Yes! Here we come."
"You did a good job with the prince's affairs." Mrs. Gan chuckled, "You fulfilled your promise, it's time for me to fulfill mine."
Liao Xu's expression became complicated: "The Jin family took away our kingdom and killed the entire royal family. This is not only a national hatred but also a family hatred. Regardless of whether you help or not, I will avenge this revenge."
of."
Mrs. Gan nodded: "I understand."
Liao Xu sighed: "At first I only wanted revenge, and I really wanted to get help from you, but I didn't expect that you would use such a method. Now I feel more and more terrible about you as a woman.
I thought about this matter from beginning to end, and I couldn't figure out whether it was you who helped me get revenge, or whether I helped you deal with the nuisance."
"It's a matter of mutual benefit." Gan said with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, "Don't worry about how much benefit I get, just see if the result is what you want. If so, what are you still struggling with?"
Although, this is indeed the truth. But it also feels like you have to sacrifice your life for others, but you still have to accept their favors.
Liao Xu did not try to argue with Mr. Gan, but whispered: "Time? Place?"
Mr. Gan turned his head and looked at Xu: "The day after tomorrow, at Haishi, Meilong Town."
After Liao Xu pondered for a moment, he nodded: "Okay! Got it." After saying that, he looked at Mr. Gan and said, "Is there anything else you want to tell me? For example, whose life do you want to save?"
Mr. Gan shook his head gently: "I didn't even save the lives of my parents, who else can I save? Those people... are just a group of ungrateful white-eyed wolves. It's up to you to do whatever you want."
The corners of Liao Xu's lips curled up slightly and he retreated silently.
Only then did Gan return to Beichen Palace and told Aunt He: "Go and tell Yun Yin a message..."
Aunt He hurriedly responded respectfully: "You say it, I am listening."
"Time..." Mrs. Gan paused and fiddled with her nails, "at midnight the day after tomorrow! As for the location... Meinan Village."
"The day after tomorrow at midnight, Meinan Village." Aunt He repeated the story again and looked at Mr. Gan, as if to ask Mr. Gan again if he had any servants.
Mr. Gan nodded: "That's right! It's midnight the day after tomorrow, Meinan Village. Let's go."
Nanny He was mumbling, as if she was afraid of forgetting. It wasn't until she walked out that Mrs. Gan picked up the pen, took out a small piece of paper, quickly wrote a few lines, and then took the cage hanging outside the window.
He came out, put the note away, and then threw the dove into the air, watching it flap its wings and disappear into the night.
"What was the sound just now?" Lin Yutong asked Sanxi while holding tea.
Sanxi glanced outside, a trace of doubt flashed across her face, "It seems like who frightened the night bird..." Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of footsteps outside, and a message came from outside that it was Grandma He who was here. Sanxi smiled.
: "Mommy must have frightened the birds flying under the eaves."
At this time, are there any birds under the eaves of the palace? The swallows have not returned from the south yet.
This thought flashed in my mind for a moment, and was diverted by the coming in of Grandma He, and she threw it aside. "Why are you here at this hour? Mother hasn't rested yet?" She said, waving to Sanxi,
Ask her to guard the door.
Aunt He smiled, thinking of her master's good intentions, she naturally couldn't let the girl know that she was ordered to reveal the news first. So she said: "Master, these guys are very tired. They fell asleep next to the pillow."
He looked up and lowered his voice, "You must take what I told you to the girl seriously. I listened to it today and said it was in Menan Village at night the day after tomorrow."
"Meinan Village at midnight the day after tomorrow." Lin Yutong muttered again. She didn't know the location of Meinan Village now. It should be a village next to the canal. Except for Beijing, get on the boat from Tongzhou and go all the way south.
It's unlikely that we'll do it on land. This can only be done on water. "I understand. I'll worry about it now, grandma."
"Meilong Town at Haishi the day after tomorrow." In a quiet room on the back hill of Daci'en Temple, Mingkong released the dove in his hand, took out the note, opened it, and frowned slightly. This seemed too impatient. He had just left the capital.
Take action, not even a bit of cover-up.
The disciple serving the tea couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there someone experienced who can do it? What are we going to do?"
Mingkong glanced at his disciple. This disciple was his confidant, and he didn't get along with quiet people. After all these years, there were only a few people who didn't follow him wholeheartedly. Seeing his disciple ask,
He handed the note over, "She doesn't believe it!"
The disciple leaned under the lamp, read the contents of the note, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What...what does this mean?"
Mingkong took the note, took off the lampshade, and held the note close to the light. The flames started to fly, and the note instantly turned into ashes. "What does it mean? It means what you saw. She was so patient with Xu.
, has reached the limit. If Liao Xu acts according to the previous instructions and does take action against the clan members, then we will wait quietly until the Xu people are tired, then go up and kill them. If Liao Xu lives
For example, if someone from the clan is kidnapped and wants to pull her down, then we have to take action and kill the clan members together with Xu’s people. It’s such a simple thing, there’s nothing I can’t understand.”
The disciple swallowed involuntarily: "I understand what this means... I suddenly felt scared and panicked in my heart."
Mingkong covered the lampshade, looked at the flames, and his heart jumped, "So, brainless people have to be calm. You see, the cooperation is good on the surface, but what kind of intrigue is behind it?
Most people can't figure it out. If she hadn't been more thoughtful, she would have eaten up Xu. Besides, her worries are justified. Don't look at Xu and say that she wishes she could kill the current royal family and leave nothing behind.
But if he can coerce the emperor, can he give up such a thing? After all, Liao Xu now knows that he is not easy to mess with. How much benefit can be gained from discussing cooperation with such an irresponsible person? Starting a new business will not open up the world. "
"What you said is correct." The disciple took a deep breath, "Anyway, no matter whether the old Taoist can kill everyone in the clan, both the murdered and the murderer must die, right?" This is the mission this time.
After listening to his disciple's words, Mingkong felt bitter in his mouth: "Tomorrow, go and inquire about the people who are migrating south this time..." There are many people here who can't get into trouble now. What should we do with these people?
She didn't say anything. What she didn't mean was that she didn't need to think too much and just let her do what she wanted.
He let out a long sigh. Over the years, he had never disobeyed her words. But this time, why was it so difficult to make this decision?
Early the next morning, Lin Yutong was called over by Mr. Gan.
"The clan is ready." Mrs. Gan pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for Lin Yutong to sit down and talk, "They set off tonight and dare to arrive at the dock in Tongzhou tomorrow morning. They did not stop at the dock, and the boats were all
The arrangements have been made, and we can board the ship and leave. After all, His Majesty's coffin is here, so I mean, you can go and see it off in person. Don't let anyone say anything critical."
Lin Yutong calculated the time in his mind. He would set off tonight and get on the boat tomorrow morning. Then around midnight tomorrow night, based on the ship's speed, he would have just passed Meilong Town and arrived at a village called Meinan Village in the south of the town.
Near the rear section of the river. It seems that what Nanny He heard must be true. I was thinking about how to tell Gan about the palace, but I didn't want her to bring it up like this. So she hurriedly said: "Since
Ninety-nine steps have been taken, and there is no shortage of the last step. To deliver the late emperor’s coffin, I will take it further along the dry road.”
Her tone was tentative, and she didn't point out that Gan would really agree. But what she didn't expect was that Gan really agreed. Seeing her pondering for a while, she nodded slightly, "That's okay. Take the dry road."
"Follow more people. You don't need to follow them on the boat, remember..." He said, as if explaining: "The provincial officials told the left-behind officials that you were going to move south with them."
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows and responded, "Then I'll have a rest first. I have to go on the road at night."
Before Mrs. Gan could say anything, several adults reporting from the meeting room arrived outside.
Lin Yutong looked at Mr. Gan in confusion: "At this time, if they don't arrange for the coffin to leave the palace, why are they here?"
Mr. Gan gave a wry smile: "I just don't agree with the clan moving south, and I'm here to grind my teeth. You go down first. I'll take care of it."
When Lin Yutong went out, she met several adults face to face and greeted each other. Lin Yutong stepped aside and let the adults go in first. This time she lifted her legs and went down the steps, and she could still vaguely hear Gan's voice.
: "...What does it mean that the imperial court is gone? The royal family is gone? Only this palace is here, as long as Yunyin is there, as long as you are here, the imperial court is here, and the world is here..."
Very generous! Very passionate! Listening to this makes people feel excited, wishing they could do something big and become the pillar of the country that supports this country!
Lin Yutong glanced back and saw that Gan indeed had a lot to learn.
After sleeping for a whole day, Lin Yutong got up in the evening. After having a delicious meal, he packed up and got ready to go out. This time, he didn't bring Sanxi. At the gate of the palace, Wen Cai was waiting with his horse.
"Your Highness!" Wen Cai whispered: "Everyone has arrived and is waiting outside the city gate."
Lin Yutong nodded, got on his horse and said, "Let's go then!"
In order not to delay boarding the ship, many people in the clan left the city one after another during the day. They wanted to settle on the ship as early as possible. After all, there were more wolves and less meat, and there were fewer people on the ship. If you wanted to get on the ship and get a good seat, you had to.
Get a head start?
But tonight, mainly the important clan members were carrying the coffin of Emperor Yongkang, and the due etiquette had to go through the motions.
Riding a horse, he drove towards the carriage pulling the coffin. Prince Yu didn't have a good look on Lin Yutong this time. His grandson died and he couldn't even have a good burial. If Lin Yutong hadn't given up the position to his grandson, why would he be like this?
went.
So when Lin Yutong came over, he said fiercely: "It seems that I was right in not asking you to record it in the genealogy! I don't have any filial piety towards His Majesty..."
"Yes!" Lin Yutong interrupted him, and his words were inevitably harsh: "Your Majesty likes those who are filial. Those who want to be filial sons and are filial, weren't they summoned by the late emperor? The tutor in Prince Yu's Mansion is indeed
Well, if you hadn't taught your grandson such pure filial piety, how would His Majesty think so highly of him?"
Prince Yu almost fell back in anger. Isn't this just adding salt to a new wound?
Lin Yutong had something on her mind and had no time to chat with him. She dismounted and sat on the shaft of the carriage carrying the coffin, just waiting to set off.
Wencai followed her and whispered: "Following closely behind is the Queen's phoenix chariot, and behind it is the carriage of the Princess's mansion..."
"Well!" Lin Yutong glanced back, "and stared at them with one eye."
Wencai didn't understand what this person meant, but he still answered, what was her name and what he was doing.
Lin Yutong sat on the shaft of the carriage and did not understand these etiquette procedures. He just waited quietly. He looked at the white flags and paper banners in front and behind. The entire convoy was coming and going, all of whom were wearing mourning clothes and lanterns were made of white gauze.
It is pasty, with white paper stuck on it, and the big word "Dian" is written on the white paper. As the night gets darker, looking at this white lantern swaying in the wind always makes people feel chilly.
He didn't dare to leave during the day, for fear of disturbing people's hearts. But this matter could not be covered up. I'm afraid it would have spread all over the capital. Lin Yutong patted the coffin. What the emperor Yongkang did was really sad. He even died.
, can't stop. People nowadays are all about mourning and honoring after death, but he was an emperor, he behaved like that while alive, and after death he became a confused king who abandoned the city and fled. The worst thing he did in his life
, shouldn’t provoke Mr. Gan. I don’t know what he was thinking in those days when he was lying in the coffin, unable to die or get out.
As she was thinking so confusedly, the convoy moved.
After the government cleared the streets, no people were allowed to walk around at will. There were only people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division on both sides, standing three steps to one post and five steps to one post, for fear of an accident.
After leaving the city, Wencai said hello to Lin Yutong and left the team.
Lin Yutong leaned against the coffin without hesitation, wrapped herself in a large cloak, and wrapped herself tightly. In the middle of the night, she couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep.
Although I didn't sleep well, it was better than sleeping next to me. When it was still dark, I arrived at the pier. The coffin was asked to get on the boat, and someone set up the offering table. Lin Yutong knelt aside and watched the coffin being placed on the boat.
, then stood up.
Afterwards, he stood aside and watched everyone get on the boat. The queen and the eldest princess and their family all got on the boat carrying the coffin. The rest of the people were in a mess and could not see anything. He suddenly turned his head and saw the crowd.
, Jin Shouren was directing people to move luggage to the ship, and next to him was Qi Duoer. There was someone holding a child. Lin Yutong thought it was Brother Yuan's nanny, but didn't want to wait until he saw the front.
I discovered that the somewhat fat man holding a child and dressed like a servant was Lin Yuzhi.
Seeing Lin Yutong looking over, Lin Yuzhi's eyes lit up. Thinking about it, he seemed to be tabooing something.
Lin Yutong turned her head away and didn't look. Everyone has to be responsible for their own choices. She couldn't see through it herself, and it was useless for anyone to say it.
The scene is chaotic, and the auspicious time calculated by the Qintian Supervisor is about to arrive. When the time comes, those who can't get in can't leave.
When the sun came out, dozens of chaotic ships were moving.
"Your Highness!" Wencai stood behind him holding the horse, "Our people have already moved."
Lin Yutong got on his horse, rode away from the pier, followed the road parallel to the canal, and chased the boat. "We have to get there quickly and get to Meinan Village before midnight."
"There is enough time." Wencai and Lin Yutong kept pace, "The two generals Feng Yuan and Jiang Zhong are leading elites, and the female generals of the Wen family are also extraordinary. They took a detour to Meinan Village last night, and it is dark today.
I will definitely make it there before."
But after all, the waterway is not as fast as the waterway. The waterway goes in a straight line, while the dryway has twists and turns, so time is very tight.
I didn't have time to eat on the way, so I just bought some dry food and stuffed it into my mouth when I had time. Even so, I didn't arrive at Meilong Town until dark.
"Meinan Village is probably not big, and our people probably won't be able to buy food." Wencai pointed to the steamed bun shop on the side, "Why don't you go down and buy some steamed buns, pancakes or something..."
Lin Yutong rubbed his face and threw a bag of golden beans over: "We can take as many as we want. Go and come back quickly." She was really not in a hurry now. According to time, the fleet still has about an hour.
, it was probably around Hai hour that we could reach Meilong Town. And at that time, I should have arrived at Meinan Village.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wencai came over. The sacks on his horse were not small. He bought two sacks of food. They must have weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
Lin Yutong took one and put it on the horse, "Okay, it's almost enough to eat."
Wencai placed the bag in his hand and quickly got on his horse. He heard a rough voice in the distance asking the shopkeeper of the steamed bun shop: "How much do you want when buying steamed buns?"
Then I heard the shopkeeper say: "Sorry, sir, we just sold out."
"Sold out?" The man was obviously stunned for a moment, "Nothing left?"
"The customer who bought the steamed buns hasn't left yet. Why don't you go ask and see if you can order them evenly?" the shopkeeper said, reaching out and pointing in this direction.
The man buying the steamed buns also looked over, and Lin Yutong said: "Let's go quickly to avoid any hassle."
Wen Cai responded and rode away.
Lin Yutong looked back, but saw that the man had disappeared. She asked Wen Cai a little strangely: "It's time, who is like us, and why are you buying so many steamed buns?"
Wencai was stunned for a moment, "You won't be like us, working in the middle of the night, right?"
Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat: "Let's go quickly and get to Meinan Village as soon as possible."
Wencai thought to herself, maybe she suspected that the man who bought steamed buns just now was also in a hurry to go to Meinan Village. Could it be that such a group of people were going to ambush tonight?
By the time the two arrived at Menan Village, it was already more than half an hour later.
"What time is it?" Lin Yutong got off his horse and asked Jiang Zhong, who was waiting aside.
Jiang Zhong coquettishly took out his pocket watch from his pocket, looked at it closely and looked at it before replying: "It's still a quarter of an hour before Hai hour."
Not bad! Not bad! It’s still early! After Hai hour, it’s Zi time! There’s still plenty of time.
"It's still one hour until Haishi!" In the woods by the river outside Meilong Town, Mingkong looked at the river water flowing like silver in the night, and warned: "Buck up and keep an eye on me."
A reply sounded from behind. Then, silence fell.
The wind was very strong at night. As the boat went down the water, I saw the white lantern hanging on the bow from a distance. It got closer and closer, and I saw it in front of me. Suddenly, a torch suddenly lit up on the other side of the river.
Then, as if under command, the ships all stopped without warning.
Mingkong's disciple said softly: "Just like the news we got, the ship did stop at this place."
Of course! The old Taoists have put so much thought into it, and I’m afraid the boatmen on the boat are all their people.
"Watch carefully." Mingkong watched the movement on the river without blinking.
After a short while, a boat appeared on the other side of the river and approached the big ship. The people on the boat were holding torches, which allowed people to see clearly.
"You don't intend to kill anyone, do you?" the disciple asked softly.
Mingkong nodded: "If you want to kill people, just if the boatman sets a fire on the boat, these people will not be able to escape. Now that there is no movement, then it can only be... Liao Xu really plans to threaten the emperor!"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw many torches lighting up on the river, and the people holding the torches were all sitting on small boats. This boat was not big, and a small boat could only carry forty or fifty people, but the number of people in these more than ten boats was huge.
Not bad. Each one held a knife in his hand and climbed up along the rope thrown from the big ship. In a blink of an eye, they all abandoned the small boat and boarded the big ship.
Mingkong looked at the figure standing on the bow of a large ship, dressed in black and looking a little thin, and softly said two words: "Fire the arrow!"
There was fire phosphorus on the arrowhead. When it was shot out, it was full of flames and fell on the ship. When the wind caught the wind, fire broke out everywhere.
Suddenly, screams broke out!
After Lin Yutong followed the others and stuffed two steamed buns into her stomach, she hid in the plum forest by the river and waited quietly. She looked across the river and asked Feng Yuan, "What's going on on the other side?"
Feng Yuan explained in a low voice: "I have seen the terrain of this area. Across the river is a large river beach. People can't get close, and boats can't get close. So, there is no possibility of hiding people there!"
Lin Yutong frowned and turned to Jiang Zhong and Hei Mei: "Have you really taken a good look around?"
Jiang Zhong seemed to feel that Lin Yutong had underestimated him, and said unconvinced: "We, Old Jiang, are also veterans on the battlefield, but we can't even do the job of a scout? I dare to guarantee with my head that there is no one hiding here except us."
?”
Hei Mei also said: "I asked my two sisters to go door to door and inquired. No outsiders have been in the village."
Lin Yutong counted the time, "It's already Haishi, how could it be possible that it's not here yet? What happened to the accident?"
"Is the information wrong?" Feng Yuan asked directly.
"No!" Lin Yutong said directly. Aunt He was by Gan's side. As long as she didn't hear wrong, how could something go wrong? Besides, with Aunt He's temperament, if she didn't hear clearly, how could she tell her rashly?
Myself. As for lying to myself, let alone lying to myself. It doesn’t make sense!
Just when I was wondering, I heard Wencai shout: "What do you think that is?"
Lin Yutong raised his head and saw a few black spots floating on the river, "Is it a person? Or something else?"
Jiang Zhong, however, had already run upstream to take a look. Without much effort, he shouted: "Grandma's! Where did so many boats come from? There's no one on them!"
Lin Yutong's expression changed. This information was really wrong.
Just when she was confused, she heard Hei Mei shouting: "What is that? Fire!"
Lin Yutong looked up and saw fire boats floating quickly along the river...
