Episode 068
The rain was not heavy tonight, but the wind was too fast.
People sitting in the cabin cannot see outside, and only feel the wind shaking the boat, which is very tragic and think the rain is also very violent.
Qin Shensi went to Gu Yanzhen to play chess, and then started a strong wind, so he would not be able to come back, and he probably was still talking there.
The boat that Mr. Gu San was riding in had two side cabins to lie on.
Chen Yu's right eye twitched, and he always felt something would happen tonight.
More than ten days ago, he had a strange premonition and never let go of his heart.
He also discussed with Qin Shensi that he wanted to leave the Gu family's boat and rent another one.
But I don't know how to speak.
Mr. Gu is not false to treat others with enthusiasm. There is no legitimate reason, so he will probably try his best to keep him.
In the evening, Mr. Gu said that he would arrive in Zhenjiang Mansion tomorrow and be prepared to take a day off. Chen Yuchao had plans in his heart. He would use the excuse of being uncomfortable and stay in Zhenjiang Mansion for medicine, and then rent a boat to go north by himself, and stagger it with the Gu family.
Qin Shensi and Jiang Tong still followed the Gu family.
At that time, let Qin Shensi and Jiang Tong go north with evidence and write to the emperor, and he will arrive later.
In case something happens, he and Jiang Tong will not be wiped out.
Jiang Tong was the Minister of Rites sent by the Celestial Empire to Annan Kingdom. Although he received the salary from Annan Kingdom, he was an official of the Celestial Empire.
Jiang Tong was equal to the long-term imperial envoy sent by the imperial court in Annan Kingdom. His words were even more convincing than Chen Yuchao's words.
Even if Chen Yuchao cannot protect himself, he must protect Jiang Tong.
"Mr. Jiang, I feel very uneasy." Chen Yuchao talked to Jiang Tong, "I always feel that what will happen tonight."
"Prince, please feel at ease." Jiang Tong advised him, "According to what the old minister saw, the prince's trip was secretly unknown."
**Princess believes in Chen Yuchao. But how to arrange Chen Yuchao to go north has become a difficult task.
If it is escorted by heavy troops, it is difficult to ensure that people will not be suspicious on the road.
Only Chen Yuchao and Jiang Tong are also eye-catching.
Then, the Gu family went to Beijing.
**Princess thought that this was a good opportunity. She stuffed Chen Yu into the Gu family fleet. If someone deliberately asked, she knew that the fleet belonged to the Third Master of the Gu family. She could not suspect that Chen Yu was on the head.
The Gu family master is now the most popular favorite around the emperor, and any local forces must be afraid of it.
Let Chen Yuchao and Jiang Tong follow the Gu family alone, although it is a dangerous move, it is also the best choice.
**The princess asked Chen Yuchao if she dared to take risks, and Chen Yuchao agreed.
Of course he dared to take risks.
Annan Country has a small local army.
The Hu father and son dared not send a large number of people to the Heavenly Dynasty to kill Chen Yuchao.
Therefore, the people who pursued Chen Yuchao have always been a group of people.
They were divided into three teams, with a total of about fifty people.
Most of them should be ambushed in the capital.
Someone intercepted the road and more than a dozen people were killed by Chen Yuchao.
According to his judgment, there will be no more than three people looking for him in Jiangnan.
"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that something will happen and accidentally hurt the Gu family..." Chen Yu sighed.
Before he finished speaking, he felt that the hull was unusual.
He heard the sound of gold sounds blowing with swords and guns.
He quickly stopped talking and asked Jiang Tong to hide in the cabin.
He took the long sword and quietly came out from the stern of the boat.
Sure enough, three people fell on the bow of the boat, and the outfit ended. It was the rest of the group who chased him last time.
They also intercepted Chen Yuchao in segments.
There are only twenty people south of the Yellow River.
Only these three have been killed by Chen Yuchao.
Chen Yuchao quickly leaned down and took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve. Then he quickly stood up and threw it towards the assassin at the bow of the ship.
Although the wind was strong, his arm strength was stronger, and the dagger steadily flew from the stern to the bow, hitting one of the assassins' hearts.
The man screamed and fell into the river, most likely he would not be able to survive.
The other two rushed towards Chen Yu along the narrow side of the ship.
Chen Yuchao then used static to control his movements, and he took the lead.
A sword stabbed another assassin in the throat.
There were only one person left in three people.
Chen Yuchao was very calm. He was sure to win. As long as he killed this, Jiangnan would be very quiet along the way.
However, these people must have sent messages to the capital, and they can never walk on the water road again.
The remaining assassin knew that he was defeated and that two of his companions died, and he could not subdue Chen Yuchao alone.
He had lost the opportunity and had to escape to Shandong first.
There are still ten companions in Shandong, and Chen Yuchao will be intercepted and killed at that time.
He turned and jumped onto another boat, with his long sword cutting the iron chains of the anchor, ready to let the boat drift along the strong wind.
He was helpless, either.
Some of them, the assassins from Annan, were good at water.
But the remaining assassin, he doesn't know how to water.
This is also the reason why he saw his companion die and did not struggle for a moment and ran away directly.
The boat they rowed over had long been rolling to where the wind and waves had been rolled. He knew that the big boat was bulky and he was the only choice.
The iron chain of the anchor was very thick. He cut it for a long time, but the fire was still unable to cut it off.
He was extremely anxious, and Chen Yuchao had already run towards him.
Seeing that Chen Yuchao also got on the boat, the assassin had to give up and turned around and ran into the cabin.
If there is a young lady in the cabin, you can catch one and save your life first.
He opened the door of the cabin hard and heard the screams of women and children.
The assassin was very annoyed by the noise and was ready to scold him, and the screams of women and children became even stronger.
He felt someone approaching him, his steps were light and his fragrance was half a ray of fragrance.
Then, he squeezed his hands heavily on his back, and he felt that the bones were cracked from under his neck, and the severe pain came without warning.
He was in pain and couldn't even call. His eyes turned black and his hands and feet were soft and he spread on the ground.
Then, Chen Yuchao rushed over.
He grabbed the assassin who was spread on the ground, stabbed it in with a long sword, and threw it into the river.
The three-foot-high wind and waves kept pouring the river water onto the deck.
The three assassins did not struggle to solve them.
Chen Yuchao closed the door of Gu Jinzhi's cabin. He stood outside and locked Gu Jinzhi and others inside, so that they would not be afraid.
When Jiang Tong heard the fight outside disappeared, he dared to stick his head out.
I saw Chen Yuchao squatting at the bow of Miss Gu Qi's boat, his eyes were like a night wolf, and he looked around sharply. Is there any situation for the detective?
Seeing Jiang Tong stretching out his head, he waved his hand and asked Jiang Tong to hide back quickly.
Then, he squatted alone at the bow of the boat, not daring to relax for a moment.
The boatman was already asleep, and Gu Yanzhen also rested. Qin Shensi did not come back because of the storm that the wind and rain were too fast, so he rested in Gu Yanzhen's small cabin.
Jiang Tong dared not sleep and kept paying attention to the movement outside.
Chen Yuchao sat withered on the bow of Gu Jinzhi's ship in the face of the wind and rain, guarding him.
Gu Jinzhi, brother, Sanhe, mother and maid in the cabin, dared not make any noise.
Everyone shrank into a ball.
About half an hour later, there was no other sound except the howling wind and waves. Gu Jinzhi opened the door of the cabin.
Chen Yu turned around to alert.
He kept squatting on the bow of the boat.
The wind in the twelfth lunar month is so cold that it can freeze people into popsicles. With the rain, I am afraid that no matter how strong people are, they cannot withstand it.
Gu Jinzhi whispered: "Go back to the cabin!"
Chen Yuchao didn't move, looking at her in confusion.
"Go back to your cabin!" Gu Jinzhi's voice became even more solemn, "I'm not leaving yet, I'll poke you with the boat pole!"
She didn't mean to be a joke, she spoke very seriously.
Chen Yu smiled bitterly at the corner of his lips.
His body was cold and his body was shaking a little.
If he keeps freezing like this, he will be frozen first. If he encounters a strong enemy, he will be no opponent.
"...It's good if I'm on your side." He was afraid something happened again.
"Go back to your cabin!" Gu Jinzhi closed his cabin door heavily.
Chen Yuchao couldn't. He had to jump onto his own boat.
Jiang Tong quickly found him to dry clothes and replaced him, and pushed the warm cage to him.
Chen Yuchao held the warm cage and did not dare to sleep again all night.
He was thinking about Gu Jinzhi.
In the darkness, the assassin seemed to have collapsed. Gu Jinzhi had no weapons in his hand, so she just pinched it casually, and the assassin seemed to have his muscles and bones sucked all over his body.
She seemed to be pinching the back of the assassin's neck...
Chen Yuchao touched his neck and felt a little palpitations: So is the doctor so powerful? Is the doctor's hands even more powerful than weapons?
Gu Jinzhi never slept all night.
Her two younger brothers were frightened, and the two brothers shivered all night.
But Gu Yanzhen and Song Paner didn't know what happened, so they slept peacefully.
At the time of Yin, the strong wind gradually stopped.
Each boat has half a boat of water.
As soon as the time came, the boatman woke up and prepared to make breakfast for everyone.
It was still dark outside. Gu Jinzhi heard the boatman telling their women to light the lights and scoop the water on the outside deck.
Gu Jinzhi also lit the light and prepared to go to his mother's side.
When Chen Yuchao heard the movements on her side, he hurriedly came out of the cabin.
When she saw Gu Jinzhi instructing the boatman to set up a board, she stood up and jumped in front of Gu Jinzhi.
His voice was a little hoarse: "Miss Seven, I have something to say to Miss Seven!"
He knew that Gu Jinzhi was going to file a lawsuit with Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu.
Gu Jinzhi looked at him, his eyes did not fluctuate: "What are you saying?"
"Miss Seven, come in and talk about it." He pulled Gu Jinzhi into his cabin.
Gu Jinzhi followed his hand and entered the cabin.
Jiang Tong was busy going out.
"Jinzhi, don't tell the third master and his wife about what happened last night. I will leave by myself when I arrive in Zhenjiang Mansion." Chen Yu looked at her and said slowly, his voice a little sluggish.
He no longer called her Miss Seven, but called her name directly, and was as heartfelt as a friend, hoping to get Gu Jinzhi's understanding.
He knew her boudoir name.
Gu Jinzhi's eyes became cold, and he felt a little cold.
"You left, others still remember these boats. What should we do?" Gu Jinzhi said in a cold voice, "Do you still want to get to Zhenjiang Mansion?"
Say it, she got up and was about to leave again.
She didn't look like a little girl at all, and she cried so much that she cried and asked who Chen Yuchao was.
She calmly and sharply points out the pros and cons.
Chen Yuchao was speechless by her words.
Indeed, these boats can no longer be seated. Once he left, he still caused trouble. Mr. Gu should have known.
But, how should it be explained?
"Jinzhi..." There was apologetic in his eyes.
Gu Jinzhi had already stood up and walked out without any movement.
Chen Yuchao didn't dare to stop him again.
He had no choice but to follow Gu Jinzhi and go to Gu Sanye.
