"Someone got on the boat secretly, walked around in a circle without entering the room, and then left again." After hearing the news reported by Lin Rui, Fang went back to the room and hugged her daughter and whispered, "Sleep peacefully, Jiaojiao. Shouldn't you sleep tonight?" Something will happen."

"Yes." Lin Ruyu responded in a very low voice, but she couldn't sleep with her eyes open. The enemies on the outpost have retreated, and there may be more people coming at night. Those who come again will never retreat so easily. They are tonight of big fish.

At the other end of the cabin, Mr. Lin, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes wide and listened intently to what was going on outside the window. The more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong outside the window...

He opened his mouth to ask Shen Ge, who was hiding under the bed, if he heard anything. First, he was afraid of waking up A Heng next to him, and second, he was afraid that there was someone outside the window, which would expose Shen Ge's hiding place. Mr. Lin turned over on the bed. Simply cover your head with a quilt and start chanting.

Under the bed, Shen Ge drank Shuangshen Soothing Decoction and slept soundly.

In the next room, Shengzi was also lying on the bed snoring. Uncle Ma next to him and Shen Shangzhi under the bed had their eyes open, always alert to what was happening outside the room.

At this time, the rain was less intense, and the drizzle pattered against the boat deck, which was particularly hypnotic.

"Oh, Dangdang--" He passed into the boat, and Shen Shangzhi and Uncle Ma opened his eyes at the same time. Yin Shi, to.

"Master Fu, wake up, wake up..."

Dafu, who was lying on the bed snoring, was woken up by someone, and he opened his eyes in a daze, "Uncle Rui."

"It's the little man. It's Yin time, and it's time for the young master to get up and watch the night." Lin Rui lowered his voice and fumbled to hand Dafu a water bag filled with honey and warm water.

Dafu took it, tilted his neck and drank it.

Seeing his heroic posture, Lin Rui couldn't help but grin silently.

Of the dozens of people who followed the eldest lady out of the mansion, only one Dafu survived. When he left, he was the Lin family's handyman, Silly Fu, and when he came back, he was already Master Fu. Sure enough, stupid people have stupid blessings, and people with the same person have different fates.

"Young master, take your bow and arrows and sit here." After helping Dafu put on his clothes, Lin Rui led him to the closed window and warned him again, "From now on until dawn, as long as you see someone opening the window and passing by, no matter what Whether it is running on the ground or flying in the sky, the young master will shoot it with an arrow. Remember?"

Dafu nodded and stared outside through the thin window screen.

Because he was curious about what kind of person the elder girl talked about "flying in the sky", Lin Rui couldn't help but start yawning after sitting next to Dafu for a while, and his eyelids gradually became unable to hold up.

Lin Dafu stared out the window with wide eyes, motionless.

More than twenty lanterns on the front, back, left and right illuminate the two large ships. Looking from a distance, they look like two giant fireflies in the dark night.

A figure in gray clothes lay on the city wall, looking at the two fireflies from a distance, then quietly approached them.

On the river surface, where water lotuses bloomed, three thin reed pipes that were two inches above the water surface were floating towards the side of the boat.

Gray Shadow arrived at the city wall near the Lin family's ship and looked around.

All the restaurants and inns outside the city wall were destroyed by the flood. Under the city wall, there were huts set up tightly, with oilcloths and even tattered quilts. There were homeless people huddled under them. These people must have slept well. If you are not at ease, if you walk past them, you will definitely wake up the people on the boat.

The gray shadow's eyes finally fell on the mast of the big ship...

A man of great skill is bold.

After visually measuring the distance from the city wall to the mast, the black shadow took a few steps back, then rushed forward and jumped towards the ship. It was because of the rain that the officers and soldiers guarding the city were lax, otherwise he would not be able to escape if he made such a big move. The eyes of the city officers and soldiers.

There were more than a dozen lanterns hanging on the boat. The room Dafu was in was the darkest corner of the boat. The gray shadow chose this darkness as his foothold.

The gray shadow jumped to the highest point, and when he estimated that he could land at the chosen position, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

But at this moment, something suddenly changed!

A cold arrow shot towards him like a meteor!

The gray figure in the air made a quick decision and threw out a dagger. The dagger hit the tip of the arrow and made a crisp sound.

This crisp sound woke up Lin Rui, who was sitting next to Dafu and taking a nap. He quickly knocked Dafu down by the window and protected him.

He hid under the window.

After shooting this arrow, Dafu's errand for tonight is finished.

Outside the window, several more arrows were shot at the falling gray shadow. The gray shadow drew his knife to block it left and right, but was still hit by an arrow in the leg.

Just when Gray Shadow was about to fall into the water and escape, he swung under three reed pipes beside the boat. Three figures came out of the water and attacked Gray Shadow in three directions. The sound of swords clashing stirred in the air. In the blink of an eye, the four of them had passed by. A few moves.

Seeing that Gray Shadow was injured and still able to fight one against three without falling behind, Uncle Ma couldn't wait any longer, "Uncle, I too..."

"Don't panic."

Shen Shangzhi was calm and composed, he drew the bow to full capacity, pointed the arrow point directly at the gray shadow, and found an opportunity to shoot a cold arrow, hitting him in the back.

After being hit by the arrow, Gray Shadow shook his hand and a cloud of white smoke dispersed, forcing the three people fighting with him to immediately retreat. When multiple arrows were fired from the boat, Gray Shadow jumped into the water and escaped without a trace.

"It's Bai Hui!"

After the man in gray jumped into the water, the escorts on the ship also recognized what the white smoke he spilled was, and they knew they had been fooled, and there was a cry of annoyance.

Uncle Ma also sighed, "If I had known I was hiding in the water, keeping him safe would have killed him!"

Shen Shangzhi said, "Don't chase after a poor enemy. This person is very skilled. If he is forced into a desperate situation, there will definitely be casualties on our side. This is the best result now. You go out and follow the ship now. We won't wait for another one." As soon as it gets light, we will pull anchor and set off."

"You should be more careful." Shen Shangzhi helped Shen Shangzhi lie down on the bed and told him to take care of his uncle before he picked up the knife and ran out. He happened to meet Chen Hong who had changed his clothes and was lured over by Lin Rui.

The two clasped their fists and greeted each other. Uncle Ma went to patrol the ship, and Chen Hong entered the room, squinting to adapt to the dim light in the room.

Shengzi called in a low voice, "Uncle Hong?"

"It's me." Chen Hong walked slowly towards the direction of the voice, clasped his fists in salute, and said the secret code Bao Li told them, "Chen Hong, have you ever seen the weeping willows on the west bank of the canal?"

Shen Shangzhi responded with a smile, "The willows on the west bank don't grow as well as those on the east bank. Next time, I can go to the east bank and have a look."

The codes were met, and the iron-clad Chen Hong felt a sore nose and knelt down on one knee, "Subordinate..."

Shen Shangzhi interrupted him, "Get up and talk."

"Yes." Chen Hong immediately understood that the people on the boat didn't know Shen Shangzhi's identity, so he quickly stood up and stood respectfully.

"How are you, Bao Li?"

"Master Bao's injuries have mostly healed. They are leading people around to find your whereabouts."

Shen Shang stroked his beard straight away, "After daybreak, if the rain is not heavy, two lines of smoke will rise from the top of a mountain ten miles away to recruit people to come and protect the ship."

"Follow the order!"

Shen Shangzhi asked again, "Do you know that person just now?"

"Looking at his figure and moves, he looks very much like An Ziyuan's follower, An Fengchun. Has my uncle ever heard anyone mention this An Ziyuan?"

"Are you sure?" Fang pulled her daughter into the room, who was carrying a stick. Before she could scold her, she was shocked by her words.

"You are sure, he is An Fengchun who is always by An Ziyuan's side." Lin Ruyu said it with certainty. Although she did not see An Fengchun many times in this life, with the memory of her previous life, she would never admit her mistake.

.

Fang's eyebrows furrowed slightly and she remained silent for a long time.
