Ruo Dong nodded and looked in the direction of the disciple's finger. Looking down from a high place, the small boat was only as big as a thumb. The hull of the boat was surprisingly stable in the bumpy rainy night. There were obviously more than 100 people sitting in the boat. One or two people.
This matter is much more complicated than imagined, Ruo Dong thought to himself, tapping the hilt of the sword with his knuckles.
According to reports from the disciples who had gone ahead, no one could find any trace of the assassin who fired the arrow. However, as they followed Qing Qing, they discovered that there was another person at the pier. It was dark at night and they could not see the face of that person clearly, but that person was there. Judging from the arrow that missed everyone's lives, Mr. Ruo could already guess that it was almost the same.
Even if Kong Yuechuan was alive, not many people could count such shocking archery skills.
What worries Ruodong right now is not the assassin - someone who can successfully assassinate him in front of Mr. Ruo of West Lake has probably not yet been born. Mr. Ruo is more worried that sooner or later the disciples will find out who the assassin is. First, There were enough things that the leader could not do to General Kong. Ruo Dong didn't know if he had the courage of the leader at that time to be able to deal openly and cruelly before fighting openly and secretly.
Furthermore, on the day of Shen Xuanming's wedding banquet, as soon as his disciples set out to deal with the remaining gang members in Nanlin, the life of the "Qitian Hero" was snatched away by someone with precise archery skills. But that night, the descendants of the Jiang family His whereabouts were immediately discovered.
How likely is this to be a coincidence?
Even if Mr. Ruo himself had some luck, the small boat in front of him eliminated the last chance. Which of the two siblings was involved with the Jiang family? ?
"Sir." A young disciple behind him clasped his fists and saluted, "The throwing hook is ready, just waiting for the order from sir."
It seems that there is no time to hesitate, it is better to control the ship first. Thinking like this, Ruo Dong slowly raised his hand.
"Sir, wait a minute!"
A rather clear voice sounded beside him. An Ge also bowed slightly, as if he had something to say. Ruo Dong temporarily put down his hand and said in a deep voice: "But it doesn't matter."
"Sir, in my humble opinion, I don't know who else is on the small boat at the moment, and I have no way of knowing what those people are planning to do. If we throw a hook rashly and forcefully intercept the boat, I'm afraid people will be unsettled, and we may not know if the fish will die or the net will be broken."
"What do you think?"
"The disciple believes that instead of taking action, it is better to send a few people from Tiankeju to act as lobbyists. If they can be persuaded to surrender, it will be great. If not, at least they can find out the details of the people on the other side."
Ruo Dong heard the words and stared at the boat in silence. The throwing hook behind him spread its sharp claws, and the shining body was ready. He only had to give the order softly, and the boat had to stop in the middle of the lake. Even the people on it If you jump out of the boat and run for your life, the Tiankeju disciples who have already been hiding in the water will catch up with you, and I'm afraid none of them will be able to escape.
"What you said makes sense." Ruo Dong sighed softly, "In your opinion, who is the right person to go?"
"Mr. Meng will not give up, and the disciple is willing to go on his own."
"Disciple is also willing to go!" Hearing this, Ren Siyuan, who was beside An Ge, also hurriedly saluted and requested.
An Ge shook his head: "No. The danger of this trip is not that there are too many people, but that I am afraid of disturbing the real person behind the scenes. It would be bad to scare the snake. If sir, I would like to go alone."
"Sir, Senior Sister An is alone, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter." An Ge turned his head and said with a slight smile, "Although General An and Young Hero Linghu have enmity with Xihu, they are upright and decent people after all, and they will never use secrets to harm me. Young Hero Linghu
If you really have evil intentions, why would you bother to pull away today when the arrow comes?"
When Siyuan heard this, he had to admit in his heart that what the senior sister said did make some sense. Qingqing was indeed a bit reckless, but it was not that bad.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Taking action against Tian Keju who had raised her for three years. Not to mention General An, after all, he has been the general of Xihu for generations, and he would not easily harm one of Xihu's own people.
What I am worried about at this time is to ask clearly why that person assassinated the leader in Ruixin Pagoda today.
Siyuan turned to look at Mr. Ruo, presumably he was thinking the same thing as him at the moment. Mr. Ruo nodded as if he had made up his mind and said, "In that case, I will do as you say. After getting off the boat, be careful in everything. If you find anything
Something's wrong, come back quickly, it's important to protect yourself."
"Yes!" An Ge heard this, rolled up his sleeves and saluted the gentleman, and hung the sword tightly on his waist.
Seeing An Ge slowly walking down the hanging ladder, Ruo Dong still frowned, as if he was worried, but did not call An Ge back. Siyuan only said that the senior sister's trip was dangerous, and the husband couldn't worry after all.
.Ruodong couldn’t help but think in his heart——
Even though the silver-feathered arrow tonight was very close to the master, the tip of the arrow was clearly aimed at him.
It was said that when Qing Qing and Mrs. Jiang were at the stern of the boat, they suddenly heard Shen Bi's scream. They hurried back to the boat house. Looking out through the door curtain, it turned out that there was indeed a huge boat following closely behind the boat.
There was also a flag embroidered with string patterns hanging on the boat, so it was obvious that Tian Keju was chasing after him in the name of the leader.
An Yu took out a silver-feathered arrow from his back. His back was stiff, as if he was facing an enemy.
Seeing the big boat approaching all the way, and about to roll over the small boat, Qingqing concentrated on her ears and couldn't help listening to the movement on the other side. Only Shen Bi couldn't control his temper and kept shouting: "What on earth can you hear?"
Are you here? We won’t be arrested by the people from West Lake!"
"Be quiet!" Jiang Suyi couldn't help but glare at her.
"Yu'er, there is an iron hook on the right side of the top of the ship opposite. I'm afraid it will be thrown over at any time."
When An Yu heard this, he quickly squinted his eyes and looked to the right. If you weren't paying attention, you really wouldn't be able to see it - the shiny spots were no more than the size of a mung bean, and they were naturally difficult to detect with your eyes. Could it be that her sister heard it?
Did you notice the swaying of the hooks and ropes? General An was secretly admiring him when he suddenly heard Qing Qing continue:
"If the hook is thrown into the air later, can you shoot it down?"
"Yes." An Yu did not hesitate, opened the bow slightly, and aimed at the bright spot the size of a mung bean.
For a moment, everyone inside and outside the boat held their breath and concentrated. It seemed that even the sound of the wind on the rainy night had become quieter, and there was only the creaking sound of An Yu pulling the bowstring slightly in the air. Suddenly, Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief:
"No need, they took the hook back."
"Take it back? How is it possible? Will Xihu just let us go?"
"Shh." Qing Qing quickly made a whispering gesture, "It's not that simple. Someone is coming."
"Are they going to get on the boat?" Su Yi frowned, "How many of them are there?"
"one."
"This..." Several people in the boat looked at each other, unable to figure out the reason.
Qing Qing also lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes: "How about this, you three go find a place to hide in the boat, and I will stay here first to test her intentions."
"No!" An Yu said loudly, "The West Lake disciples are surrounded on the opposite side, how can we leave my sister here alone?"
When Shen Bi heard this, he also shouted: "What do you have to say to these people? Let's just jump off the boat and swim away!"
"It's even worse to wander around." Qing Qing shook his head. "The disciples from Tiankeju have been hiding in the water for a long time. You can tell by hearing it. If you jump off the ship now, you will only be caught. It's better for the three of you to hide first. Really
If there is no way out, it is a good idea to try to kill the fish and defeat the net."
Without waiting for a few people to refute, Qingqing continued: "I don't know how to swim, so I might as well stay here
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Here, let’s try the ins and outs of Tiankeju.”
Jiang Chenbi crossed his arms and snorted. At this moment, there was really no better way out.
The figure was getting closer and closer, so the three of them had to hide in a secret passage under the boat. Qingqing placed a square table at the exit, acting as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, he heard a sound outside the door curtain.
Shout softly:
"An Ge, the great disciple of Tiankeju, comes to visit our distinguished guest!"
An Ge listened to the movement inside the door, but felt that it was quiet inside, and it didn't look like there was anyone there. He tried to reach out and lift the door curtain, and saw only Qing Qing sitting in the middle, leisurely picking up the tea cup and saying hello:
"haven't seen you for a long time."
But I saw An Ge looking around and focusing on Qing Qing again: "Why are you alone?"
Qingqing smiled: "Tiankeju is such a big battle, isn't there only An Shaoxia here?"
Hearing her answer, An Ge could only close his eyes and sigh: "Qing Qing, this is not a good move. You obviously saved the leader at the critical moment, which is a great achievement, so why do you want to escape with the assassin?
Isn’t this a failure of the master’s wishes in vain and a crime for himself?”
"The so-called crime or not is just a matter of your husband's thoughts. If I still stay in Ruixin Pagoda at this moment, I will naturally not be guilty of running away, but I will still have the reputation of trying to kill the leader. Although Qing Qing knows that this is not
It's a good move, but it's just the most instinctive choice in comparison."
"Instinct? Qing Qing, how can you rely on your instinct to do things now?" An Ge said with seriousness and sincerity, "You are now alone in West Lake. Even though Mr. kept you alive three years ago, you are still guilty.
.How can we still be as reckless as savages, harming ourselves and those around us?"
When Qingqing heard her talk about "people around her", she expected that Tian Keju had clearly seen An Yu's appearance on the shore, and was afraid that she couldn't hide it even if she tried. He didn't answer her words, but said leisurely: "I have never been able to do it.
A smart person like An Shaoxia. The reason why people in the world call me "Linghu Savage" is because I am used to being stupid, so I have no choice but to do things based on my heart. If you ask me why I pushed your leader down in the first place,
I can't tell myself. It's just that I have a clear conscience, and Tiankeju doesn't need to give me a name that has made great achievements. After all, if I was really too smart, I should have changed my name long ago and forgotten that I am Queen Linghu.
Human beings, don’t you want to devote yourself to living a stable life in Tiankeju?”
Without waiting for An Ge to answer, Qingqing said again: "Since I bothered Shaoxia An to come here, Qingqing will listen to Shaoxia An's advice today and tell him something that is not very smart. Saved
Master, you don’t need to thank me - because that arrow was not aimed at the Master of West Lake."
Upon hearing this, An Ge couldn't help clenching his fist and banging it on the table: "Who is that aimed at?"
"Young hero is very smart, why not guess for yourself?"
"Is it you? Or was there someone else in Ruixin Pagoda that night!"
Qingqing listened to her guess and couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "The young hero is extremely smart, how come his cleverness is misunderstood now? The young hero really thinks that Xihu has leveled the eight tones and four instruments, sweeping the world, and his reputation as a guest in heaven.
Is that okay?"
An Ge listened to her words with a hint of ridicule, but felt that these words involved much more things than he imagined. In today's world, there are people who dare to cause trouble on top of Tianke's head—
—Such a big matter, I have to ask clearly. Looking up again, there is a bit more murderous intent in my eyes:
"Do you want to hide this matter?"
"Qing Qing said it or not because of his own loyalty. If An Shaoxia really wants to know, he should rely on his own intelligence."
Hearing her sarcastic words, An Ge finally couldn't bear it anymore. He unsheathed his sword in an instant and looked at it with his sword drawn: "Linghu Qingqing! This matter must be settled today. Don't let me force you to say it!"
