"My servant has already inquired about the person in charge of the ship. It was indeed an accident that Mr. Beishu and Miss Fu Shuang played together. It was only after learning that the governor and Mr. Si were on the ship that Mr. Beishu made an impromptu decision."
Whether it was a spur-of-the-moment move or something that had been planned for a long time, who can say for sure.
Si Yiluo never believed in people who suddenly appeared next to him, and neither did Wei Heyan. She thought he would refuse.
Wei Heyan raised his lips and smiled and said: "Since the beauty is interested, why not invite us on board to have a fun time together."
Si Yiluo's eyes changed. He remembered that in his previous life, he had never been lecherous with women. Many young eunuchs in the palace would pair up with the maids. Those with a little power would even take pleasure in torturing women.
There is no woman around him except her.
Does he like men?
Si Yiluo had never thought about this problem. From the corner of her eye, she saw Shi Shiran, the young man in white, approaching, and she raised her eyes to observe Wei Heyan's expression.
Wei Heyan was also looking at her. What he saw in her eyes was... bright light?
"The little man Yue Beishu has met Governor Wei and Lord Si."
The smell of gunpowder spread inexplicably in the air.
The two of them simultaneously turned their attention to Mr. Beishu who was standing on the deck. Yue Beishu's back stiffened and he forced himself to smile.
"I've always had people avoid me, but I've never seen anyone dare to come up to me. Mr. Beishu, right..."
Wei Heyan's last smile was creepy, making Yue Beishu feel that his decision to strike up a conversation was wrong.
He looked at Si Yiluo as if asking for help, but he saw that the girl was not looking at him in a friendly way either.
Yue Beishu's mind changed. He thought he was handsome, so he boarded the ship to seek an audience. His target was naturally Si Yiluo. If he could catch the eye of the commander, he would rise to prominence from then on.
"Lord Governor, calm down!" Yue Beishu lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, standing up straight, his eyes glancing at Si Yiluo vaguely, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "I admire the Lord Governor and Lord Si, so I rashly asked for an audience...
…”
Wei Heyan chuckled softly.
"Since I admire you, why don't you go back to Dongchang with me to purify yourself and become a eunuch? I see your face and like you very much."
Yue Beishu cursed in his heart that he was a pervert, but he did not dare to show it on his face. He just lay on the ground in fear.
"I'm afraid that I won't have the blessing to serve the Governor. Lord, please spare my life!"
Wei Heyan's expression said that the governor has given you this blessing, which made Si Yiluo put away his worries.
She may not know what he likes, but Si Yiluo knows clearly what he hates.
"Why should the governor scare him?"
Si Yiluo stood up and half-crouched in front of Yue Beishu. Yue Beishu felt happy and half raised his head, looking at her affectionately with a pair of moist eyes.
She reached out and lifted his chin, looking at him with burning eyes.
The sky was very kind to him, giving him tender skin that could be broken by a blow, a soft and handsome face, and a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes, which were very similar to Wei Heyan's.
However, he is a little less colorful than Wei Heyan, and has more of a weak temperament that I feel pity for.
Si Yiluo reached out and caressed his cheek, curled his lips and said with a smile: "If the governor doesn't mind, let him stay and serve you. It just so happens that I can also help Miss Fu Shuang change the song for the competition. Fu Shuang and Fu Yue
If these two girls can win the championship in one fell swoop, it will be a good story if word spreads about it today!"
Wei Heyan had no expression on his face, but he tapped his fingers on the table. It could be seen that he was actually not in a good mood.
Si Yiluo thought about what happened tonight. She didn't seem to have offended him in any way.
That's not right. His action of agreeing to invite her to the lake today was unusual.
"Come here! Rescue people quickly, His Royal Highness King Yu and His Highness King Zhan have fallen into the water!"
Panic shouts were heard from another boat not far away. Si Yiluo and Wei Heyan got up almost at the same time and ran to the railing to look over.
I saw two painted boats colliding with each other, and several people were flopping in the water and climbing onto the adjacent painted boats.
There were also guards who jumped from the third boat not far away and swam over to save people.
It was too dark, and Si Yiluo suddenly saw a dark wave coming up from the water, and faintly smelled the smell of blood.
"not good!"
She dropped the two words and jumped into the water.
Wei Heyan looked at the other boats and saw that there was no one on board the two boats that had collided. The curtains of one of the boats were lit by candles, implicating the other boat as well.
On the third painted boat that was closer were sitting His Royal Highness Prince Rong and Minister of Rites Zhuo Wen, and further away His Royal Highness King Chen and His Highness King Xian were also rushing this way.
Zhou Yu emerged from the water and was dragged by the guards to Zhou Rong's boat.
"Brother, seventh brother is still underwater!"
Zhou Rong didn't have time to ask what was going on when he saw the dark color on the water and exclaimed in surprise: "Someone has been assassinated!"
A purple-blue firework exploded in the sky, which was Dongchang's signal.
Zhou Rong saw Wei Heyan in the direction where the fireworks were rising, and bowed his hands to express his gratitude. Wei Heyan only nodded and responded with a polite attitude.
Zhou Rong put away the discomfort in his heart and looked into the water while comforting Zhou Yu.
In the midst of the confusion, Zhou Chang came over in his small awning boat.
Come on, the prince's nest was stabbed today. One or two of them rushed to swim in the lake.
Except for the two young highnesses who were still living in the palace, and the fourth prince Zhou Yun who was not here, the other six princes had arrived.
Wei Heyan searched for Si Yiluo's figure in the water, but did not see her. Instead, he saw two corpses floating on the water.
Others who saw the situation here did not dare to come over, not knowing who the killer's target was. The guards who were still on the boat looked around cautiously.
Thinking of the last assassination attempt on King Zhan, it is the same this time.
Wei Heyan couldn't figure out who wanted to assassinate the prince. Emperor Yao came to power with the reputation of killing his father and brother, and he was most afraid of the prince taking power.
Therefore, several princes in this dynasty who should have been sent to fiefdoms were all given titles and stayed in the capital, living under his nose. Jinyiwei and Dongxichang had a very important task, which was to secretly monitor several princes to see what they were doing.
Do you have any rebellious intentions?
The princes were not in power. As the eldest son, Prince Rong did not have as much power as Wei Heyan. He only brought a few guards with him when he went out. It was already very rare to be able to spare a few to save Zhou Zhan at the critical moment.
Is a prince who has no power in his hands also so jealous?
When he saw Wei Heyan, Zhou Rong was really glad in his heart. Whether it was true or false, Wei Heyan could not offend him.
The darkness on the lake expanded, and in the blazing fire, Zhou Yu could clearly see the blood spreading on the water, and said in shock: "Brother, save the seventh brother quickly! I forced the seventh brother to come out to relax today, and the seventh brother's injury is not healed yet...
…”
Zhou Yu leaned on Zhou Rong's legs in pain. Zhou Rong took off his cloak and covered him, patting his shoulders.
"Fifth brother, what is going on?"
Under the water, two killers were pestering Zhou Zhan. He grabbed a dagger, put it into the killer's chest smoothly, and then turned around and kicked the other killer's chest.
The resistance in the water was great, so the killer was kicked by him without any fuss, and he and his companions soon surrounded him again.
Si Yiluo stepped forward, pointed to the killer on the left, stretched out three fingers towards him, meaning that the three on the left belonged to her, and pointed to the two on the right, letting him deal with them himself.
Zhou Zhan nodded to her.
Some of the guards who jumped into the water were holding knives and mingling with the killer. The situation under the water was more complicated than those above imagined.
Si Yiluo successfully dealt with the three on the left, and slit the throats of the guards who rushed up from behind. These guards included people from King Rong and people from King Chen.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe it.
Corpses emerged one after another from the bottom of the water, stimulating everyone's nerves.
After a while, two human heads emerged from the bottom of the water.
Si Yiluo carried the "drowning" Prince Zhan up from the swimming pool.
"Seventh brother!"
Zhou Rong and Zhou Yu shouted to her at the same time. Si Yiluo raised his head and glanced at Wei Heyan. Seeing that he had no intention of picking up this hot potato, he swam towards Zhou Rong's boat.
No matter who wants to kill Zhou Zhan secretly, he must ensure his safety openly.
Zhou Rong personally pulled Zhou Zhan aboard. Si Yiluo was about to get on the boat when his ankle was suddenly grabbed by a hand and his body sank into the water again.
