Chapter 23: Distress

"As long as you don't regret it." Song Yan said.

"I don't regret it. This is for sure. This is the most correct thing I have ever done." Song Siyuan said firmly.

Song Yan accepted the jade butterfly and left the backyard with King Qin.

Because King Qin was still busy with a case and could not go back for the time being, he had to order the coachman to take the princess back first.

Song Yan was worried that King Qin's body would not be able to survive, so she gave him another detoxifying pill. This was newly synthesized by her in space. The effect is not yet known, but it is certain that it will definitely be good for Bo Jinnian's body.

Bo Jinnian gently pinched the jade-white pill with two fingers and thought for a moment.

Song Yan joked: "Why, you don't dare to eat?"

But Bo Jinnian suddenly smiled, and he smiled very gently: "What are you afraid of? My life has been in your hands for a long time, hasn't it?"

He raised his head and swallowed the pill.

Song Yan smiled. What on earth was this guy thinking? The words he said were always ambiguous and ambiguous. The more words he said, the more confused Song Yan felt.

After Song Yan got in the car, she went directly to Bianjiang Tower to find Mr. Qu.

She vaguely felt that this matter should be done sooner rather than later, especially when her father said these words to her today, there were people from Dali Temple nearby. I am afraid that the news has already spread. If something happens to Mr. Qu again, it may be in vain.

A lot of effort.

Bianjiang Tower is located in the west of the capital, surrounded by water and backed by a small island.

As expected, the scenery is pleasant and it is located on the riverside.

In the middle of the island stands an antique small building.

To get to the island, she needed to take a small boat. The boatman's price was one ingot of silver. Although Song Yan thought it was expensive, in order to rush for time, she had to pay the silver first and ask the boatman to support her across the river while the coachman waited on the shore.

Wait for her.

The boatman was an old man with white beard and hair, but his face was glowing and he was in high spirits.

Artemisia followed one after another, maintaining a certain rhythm, steady and fast. In just half a stick of incense, the boat reached the center of the river.

This was Song Yan's first time riding on such an artificial boat, and it felt very novel.

What shocked her even more was the scenery of the river tower here. Only when she was in the center of the river could she understand its essence.

The atmosphere of "Liaokuo River, Sky, and Thousands of Miles of Clouds" can only be experienced here.

"Old man, are you the only one here to punt the boat?" Song Yan asked.

After all, the price he wanted was ridiculously high. If it were elsewhere, it would only cost a few copper coins.

"Yes." The old man said.

This old man didn't speak the whole time. Even if he was asked a question, he would only answer the question and never say another word.

Song Yan felt that this man really had a bigger temper than King Qin.

There was no wind on the river at this time, but a piece of red cloud in the sky connected the water and the sky. Song Yan actually had the illusion of walking in an oil painting. It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking. But only she had the leisure to appreciate this kind of beauty.

The old man looked serious and did not dare to be careless at all.

I just heard the old man suddenly say: "Sit tight!"

Suddenly a huge whirlpool appeared on the river, and the small wooden boat was swaying. It seemed that it might flip into the whirlpool at any time. Suddenly, huge water columns spurted out from the river, and a black hill emerged from the water.

, opening his bloody mouth.

Even though Song Yan had experienced life and death, her face turned pale with fear at this time.

I saw the boat twisting and turning, and it could slip away from the monster's mouth every time. I was shocked for a while. Song Yan's clothes were also soaked with water.

And the old man said calmly: "Okay, it's safe."

Only then did Song Yan realize that the boat had sailed to the edge of the island, and the river had returned to calm, as if the scene just now had never happened.

"Thank you, uncle." Song Yan paid the money and said.

Only then did she understand why the old man asked for such a high price. Now it seems that it is not high at all. This is a conscientious price.

A piece of silver is life-saving money! It's money well spent!

Song Yan took out another ingot of silver: "Old man, please wait for me here and support me back in a while."

The old man twitched his lips: "You can wait, but you will have to pay this amount when you go back." The old man stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred taels?" Song Yan asked.

The old man nodded, "Come on, old man, I like to deal with people who are straightforward."

"Two hundred taels is not expensive, it's the money you pay for your life." Song Yan said, "I don't have so much cash with me, I only have banknotes."

"The old man also accepted the banknotes," the old man said.

"Okay, it's settled." Song Yan took out two hundred taels of silver and gave it to him.

"Aren't you afraid that I will take the banknote and run away?" the old man asked.

"Don't be afraid. If you run away, you are not that kind of person. If I am the kind of greedy person, you could have asked for a thousand taels just now. I can't do anything to you in order to survive." Song Yan said, "You can't do the same thing.

Two hundred taels of silver saved my life."

Who in the capital today doesn't know that she is the princess who can bring King Qin back to life. If she dies, the old man will also make a lot of money.

"The princess is indeed a smart person, I admire you." The old man said sincerely.

"Excuse me." The old man said.

Song Yan got off the boat, but saw the old man also getting off the boat. She originally thought that the old man was just getting off the boat to rest and waiting for her to come back. Unexpectedly, the old man actually made a gesture of invitation in front: "Please move over here."

side."

"Old man, are you from the island?" Song Yan asked suspiciously.

The old man nodded: "The princess must not know what kind of person the owner of the Jiang Tower here is, right? How dare you go to the Jiang Tower here."

"It's true that it's more than that. I'm just anxious to find someone. Then old man, you must know Mr. Qu, the owner of Jiang Tower here?" Song Yan asked quickly.

Unexpectedly, the old man laughed heartily, "What does the princess want from this young master?"

Song Yan hesitated, "I have something very important to do with Mr. Qu. I must tell him this matter in person. I'm sorry that I can't tell him."

The old man stopped asking questions and just smiled: "Of course I recognize him. Please come with me."

Song Yan was naturally very happy to find someone to lead the way, but she always felt that this old man was a little weird.

The entire island is like a peach blossom garden floating on the river. It is obviously late autumn, but it is full of peach blossoms, fallen flowers all over the ground, and green grass.

It seems like there are two seasons on the other side of the river.

The island is very beautifully restored, and it can be seen that Jing has carefully arranged it. Song Yan only remembers seeing the Five Elements Bagua in a gift book in the space, which is very similar to the layout in front of her. But she has never studied it, and she doesn't understand it very well.

"Princess, follow closely." the old man reminded.

Song Yan followed the old man in circles, but when she turned back, she could no longer see clearly the way she came. It was really magical.

After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the main building - Bianjiang Building.

Song Yan still didn't see Mr. Qu, but she saw two eight or nine-year-old children coming out to greet him. They were very respectful to the old man: "Grandpa is back."

The old man nodded and ordered: "Go, make tea and receive the guests."
