Chapter 1689

Which rich lady would wear the clothes of a bodyguard?

Xiao Lingyue lowered her head as if she was shy: "My husband is indeed a merchant in the capital. I have never left the capital since we got married. Recently, my husband has received new business. He feels sorry for me that I have no interest in staying at home all year round. This time I go out

So he brought me along specially."

Her pale and beautiful face flushed slightly, and she whispered: "The clothes on my body...are the clothes my husband specially asked me to put on because he was afraid of being criticized, so that everyone can laugh."

So that’s it!

A group of people around the campfire suddenly understood and couldn't help but smile.

The woman joked: "You just got married, right? The relationship between husband and wife is so good, I even take you with me when I go out."

Xiao Lingyue's cheeks turned redder, she shook her head and said nothing.

Xiao Liu sat aside and lowered his head in disappointment: "Mrs. Xiao is really married..."

"What? Xiaoliu, are you disappointed?" The woman winked and smiled at him.

"Sister Qiao!"

The young man blushed and glanced at Xiao Lingyue quickly, "Don't make fun of me!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed at the same time.

The atmosphere was extremely relaxed.

Xiao Lingyue pretended not to understand their teasing and asked the woman softly: "Are you also a caravan?"

The woman nodded cheerfully: "My name is Qiao Qing. I work for Boss Zhao. I used to travel by water a lot."

"Then why are we switching to dry roads now?" Xiao Lingyue thought for a moment. "Is it because of water bandits?"

"That's right."

Qiao Qing believed Xiao Lingyue's words and regarded her as a member of her family and did not hide anything from her.

"In the past, there were not so many water bandits on the river. You would encounter them once every seven or eight trips. The caravans could still live a good life, but now they can't.

There are more and more water bandits, and they are encountered at every turn. The "water tolls" are also getting higher and higher, and you have to pay twice for each trip!

How can a small caravan like ours withstand their demands for money?

There was no other way, so Boss Zhao had no choice but to take us to abandon the waterway and walk from the shore instead. Although the distance is a bit longer, it is better than having to go all the way and have everything taken away!"

When Xiao Lingyue heard this, she looked at the others and found that everyone had a wry smile on their faces, so she knew that what Qiao Qing said was true.

I didn’t expect that the water bandits on the Canglan River have reached this level...

"It's really not easy to say that."

Xiao Lingyue agreed, and then asked: "But Miss Qiao, you just said that the water bandits only rob money and don't hurt people. Is that true? They robbed so many ships, but they never hurt people?"

"It's true. Anyway, I've never heard of them hurting anyone. Even if a caravan encounters them, it's just a waste of money and disaster."

Qiao Qing comforted him: "Is your husband still on the ship? Don't worry too much."

Xiao Lingyue thought that she wasn't worried.

If the water bandits really have the courage to get on the boat and encounter Zhan Beihan who is angry and angry, who will be the unlucky one?

but.

If what Qiao Qing said is true.

Who are those men in black lurking in the water, seeking ruthless and deadly moves?

Are they water bandits? Or another group of people in the name of water bandits?

What is their purpose?

She is now completely separated from Zhan Beihan, and she doesn't know where King Xiang's ship has sailed. How can she contact them to rendezvous?
