At night, the water was pitch black, and sporadic firelight fell on the water, like stars falling into the world.
Gu Qingyuan gasped for air and felt that her skeleton was about to fall apart.
Pei Jinting was holding a long sword in front of him. Not to mention the tip of the sword, even the hand holding the sword was splashed with bright red.
You can imagine how fierce the fight ahead was.
And on his body, the sky blue robe she made, the color can no longer be seen.
The smell of blood filled the air, making people frightened.
"How's it going? Are you hurt?"
"You're not hurt, are you?"
The two asked in unison. Then they looked at each other and smiled.
The fight in front was so fierce, how could there be no injuries at all. But facing Gu Qingyuan, Pei Jinting smiled easily.
"It's okay. It's just a few scratches. What about you?"
He looked up and down, and when he saw the belt wrapped in her hand, his eyes immediately turned sinister, and he picked up her hand and said, "Are you injured?"
Seeing his nervous look, Gu Qingyuan immediately untied his clothes, showed his smooth wrist in front of him, and said softly, "Look, there is no injury."
She pursed her lips and stepped forward, taking Pei Jinting's hand.
Just in time to hold his injured hand, Gu Qingyuan saw the stickiness on his hand, and then the fire light rose, and she saw a scratch on the back of his hand.
"Pei Jingheng. Is this the scratch you are talking about?"
Gu Qingyuan looked at the man's hand with some pity.
You can see the skin and flesh split even at a deep level.
Pei Jinting circled her with his uninjured hand and comforted her, "It's okay. Don't worry."
"Are you scared?"
He held her shoulders and asked softly.
The two have been together for a year and have been assassinated many times. This time was the most dangerous.
The security on the ship was tight enough, but it was still not as good as those well-trained bandits.
Or it can be called navy.
Otherwise, why would he hide Gu Qingyuan in a corner and only send two guards to guard her.
Gu Qingyuan held his hand and blew it lovingly, "No."
"It's all my fault. I should have left you separately. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you fall into such a dangerous and forbidden place."
Gu Qingyuan's back was still aching, but she firmly rejected Pei Jinting's statement.
"Even if I didn't leave with you, I would still be assassinated. And don't I know that there will always be endless dangers around you?"
She smiled, carefully wiped the blood around the wound with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Who let me get on this pirate ship of yours? I can only marry a chicken and follow the chicken, and marry a dog and follow the dog."
Pei Jinting laughed softly, and then felt deeply scared.
He had actually been prepared for what happened today.
But it still almost put her in danger.
Gu Qingyuan looked not far away and saw Qin Xiang and Prince Jing standing face to face. Not knowing what they were talking about, she quietly reached out and hugged Pei Jinting's waist.
"Pei Jingheng. I can't hide under your wings forever. I will protect myself well when you can't see me."
When she just climbed up the crossbar, her feet were also weak.
She also knew that if anything went wrong on her side, Pei Jinting would not ignore her and would definitely come over as soon as possible.
Nor was she blindly and recklessly trying to take it on.
Before taking action, I decided to take action only after observing the bandit carefully.
The guards brought out by Pei Jinting at the front were cleaning up. Here, Pei Jinting took Gu Qingyuan to a clean room to rest.
Lin Feng had been waiting for a long time to help Pei Jinting treat his wounds.
He poured strong wine on Pei Jinting's wound. Gu Qingyuan saw the corner of the man's mouth twitching and his hands shaking.
She couldn't help but said, "Mr. Lin, would it be better if you use cotton dipped in wine to clean it?"
Lin Feng held the golden sore medicine in his hand and was just about to sprinkle it on it. When he heard this, his hand shook and the medicine powder fell on the wound unevenly.
He was amazed in his heart. He had treated wounds in this way before, and he didn't see any discomfort in the man in front of him.
I can't help but feel that this man is really coquettish. He shows weakness in front of the one he loves, hoping to gain pity from him.
Tsk tsk.
He smiled and glanced at the man in front of him, his tone seemed to be suddenly enlightened,
"Thanks for the tip, girl."
He slowly helped Pei Jinting apply the medicine, bandage it, and finally tied a beautiful bow with the bandage on the back of his hand.
The corner of Pei Jinting's mouth twitched, and she lazily raised her eyes, looking at him warningly.
Watching Lin Feng carrying the medicine box out, Gu Qingyuan sat next to Pei Jinting.
When she came closer, her breath lightly hit Pei Jinting's ears, numbing and itching.
Pei Jinting moved her fingers, leaned over and bit her lips.
He said in a breathy voice,
"Next, please help me, girl, to wash up and take a shower..."
As he spoke, he raised his injured hand with an innocent look on his face.
Gu Qingyuan covered her lips and looked at him in disbelief.
At this time, he was still thinking about something else.
In the dark night, some dull, gagged humming sounds sounded.
Pei Jinting reassured, "Don't be afraid. He Zheng and the others will interrogate the prisoners again."
That is to say, if they are caught alive, they can find out who is planning to attack them.
Gu Qingyuan nodded and asked no more questions. When the interrogation is over, there will be a result.
Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later, He Zheng came.
He didn't report it immediately, as if he was waiting for something.
Just as Gu Qingyuan was about to stand up, she was held down by Pei Jinting. She nodded lightly to He Zheng and said, "Tell me, who is the demon god?"
This means that there is no need to avoid Gu Qingyuan, she can listen.
"Sir, there are two groups of people who attacked tonight. One group was sent by the people who had the handle when they were on patrol, which is the group that came later."
"The first one..."
He paused and took a breath, "He is from the military and related to Lord Lu."
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows.
From the time Lu Wenze's concubine deliberately made friends with Qin Lu, Lu Wenze has been hiding and not showing up.
I think I came here just to wait for today.
Hit with one hit.
"I heard from the captured man that Lu Wenze decided to take action only after receiving the letter from Beijing."
When Gu Qingyuan heard this, she immediately thought of her father's imprisonment.
I guess I want to stop them from going back to save people.
Gu Qingyuan thought for a while and looked at Pei Jinting cautiously.
Pei Jinting hugged her shoulders and nodded, which meant that she had something to ask and deliberately asked directly.
Gu Qingyuan calmed down and asked, "Does that person know who the person who sent the letter is?"
"Is it Prime Minister Ming?"
He Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
A smile appeared on Gu Qingyuan's lips.
If those people came just for Pei Jinting, they would not search around, but would concentrate on finding a way to kill Pei Jinting.
They will search privately, which means they have other things to do.
Otherwise, how could the bandit see Qin Xiang's skirt and rush towards him?
Sure enough, the Ming family still wanted her to die.
