Chapter 220 It's Blood!

Qin Shuhuang shook his head and lowered his voice, "We'll drag them on first and wait until we get ashore. These people seemed to be acting under orders, as if they had never had contact with us before."

As long as they go ashore and are not surrounded by the turbulent Lingjiang River, they won't be so passive!
After the inspection, in addition to Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang, four more men and women were screened out from the passenger ship.

After struggling for more than an hour, the passenger ship was successfully released after the owner of the passenger ship sent ten taels of silver.

At this time, another official ship sailed along the Lingjiang River, and all the selected people boarded this newly arrived official ship under the escort of officers and soldiers.

This official ship is not big, only half of the previous two official ships. It has a small load but moves quickly.

Everyone was imprisoned in a large cabin. An hour and a half later, the ship docked at a pier.

The officers and soldiers did not let anyone disembark. Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang in the cabin only heard many more footsteps on the deck, and then a few whispers.

Immediately, the cabin door was opened, and the few people standing at the front were taken out of the cabin.

There were 16 people in the entire cabin, and five were taken away, leaving only 11 people.

After someone was taken away, the people in the cabin became even more uneasy.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the cabin door was opened again, and five more people were taken out, still silently.

Suddenly Xuan Cang's face darkened and he whispered in Qin Shuhuang's ear: "Your Highness, I smell blood."

The five senses of people who practice martial arts are much more sensitive than ordinary people.

Hearing what Xuan Cang said, Qin Shuhuang's expression also changed, "Do you suspect that all the people they brought out were killed directly by them?"

Xuan Cang nodded solemnly.

Qin Shuhuang clenched his fists instantly.

Xuan Cang warned, "Your Highness, we must go out together in a while. No matter what, you cannot leave my subordinates."

Qin Shuhuang responded.

The time after the second wave of people was taken out was shorter than that of the first wave, and the officers and soldiers came back again.

This time, Qin Shuhuang, Xuan Cang and other six people were chosen to take them out.

Seeing that Xuan Cang was still carrying the burden and luggage, the officers and soldiers frowned and shouted: "You are not allowed to bring anything. Put your things down. If it is verified that you are not bandits, I will come back to pick them up later."

Xuan Cang lowered his head and pretended to be a stubborn man, "No, these are all our belongings. What if someone steals them here? If you don't let me take them, my wife and I won't go with you."

The officers and soldiers' eyes flashed, and when they saw the people not far away winking at them again, they had to temporarily compromise, "Okay, okay, you can take it with you, hurry up, hurry up!"

Seeing that Xuan Cang and Qin Shuhuang had brought their burdens and luggage, the remaining people also took their own luggage.

After the officers and soldiers took them to the deck, they did not get off the ship. Instead, they turned a corner, walked around the stern, and walked up to the upper cabin.

Qin Shuhuang specially observed the surrounding situation.

This is not a regular pier, but a wild pier. The pier is not big and can only accommodate one ship. The shore is covered with lush reeds and there is not even a single house.

There was only a dilapidated thatched hut not far away.

At this moment, a group of people was hurriedly approaching on the path behind the reeds.

Upon discovering this situation, Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang looked at each other and immediately felt something was wrong.

If they really wanted to catch bandits, the official ship would never dock at this wild pier, and it still looked like such a hidden place.

Just at this time, Xuan Cang noticed a red viscous liquid seeping out of the cabin next to the deck!
is blood!

No wonder Xuan Cang smelled the smell of blood. It turned out that these people were killing people in the cabin where they were imprisoned!As he got closer, the smell of blood spread into the cabin.

Xuan Cang glanced at the cabin not far from them. At this moment, there were probably a dozen innocent corpses lying in the cabin!
Xuan Cang winked at Qin Shuhuang.They must not enter that cabin.

I don't know if there are any mechanisms or hidden poisonous weapons inside.

Qin Shuhuang understood immediately and pretended to accidentally sprain his foot and sat down on the ground in pain.

Mr. Luo, who had always been in poor health and looked like a sickly scholar, suddenly abandoned his carriage and led a group of people on horseback to ride in the direction of Ningshui.

Boying, the scholar who was following him, watched Luo Chu cough while riding a horse, and said worriedly: "Sir, why don't we change the carriage? You can't bear it!"

Luo Chu shook his head, "It's an emergency, so ride faster."

Boying pursed her lips but couldn't help but said: "Sir, the prince clearly asked you to take people to Beidi, but you took them in the opposite direction. What should I do if the prince blames me?"

Luo Chu glanced at Boying coldly, "Boying, remember your sense of propriety, I don't have to explain to you anything I do!"

Boying shook his head and immediately complied.

Luo Chu shook the reins, hoping that the horse could run faster.

When he got the news that General Liu and his men were rushing to Ningshui, he knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess was not on the way to Beidi at the moment, but on the way to Guangnan!
Her Royal Highness the Princess really did not disappoint him.

The last petition was of no use. The fourth prince was too hidden and didn't make much effort when the situation changed at the critical moment, so Qin Shuhuang didn't send anyone to contact him afterwards.

If he can save the eldest princess this time, then he can occupy a place with the eldest princess!
After a whole day of galloping, Luo Chu finally led people to the wild dock where the official ship docked.

When dismounting, Luo Chu almost fell to the ground with weak legs if Boying hadn't helped him.

"Sir, are you okay? Do you want to rest first?"

Luo Chu shook his head, "Let's go to the boat to see the situation."

Boying helped Luo Chu walk to the dock.

Just as he was about to board the boat, he was stopped by two officers and soldiers, "Water transportation law enforcement, don't come near, get away quickly!"

Luo Chu took out a token from his arms and showed it in front of the officers and soldiers.

When they saw the token, the officers and soldiers immediately bowed their hands respectfully and saluted, "Your Majesty is here, I'm sorry!"

Luo Chu said coldly: "Where are the people? How many have been dealt with?"

"Go back to Shangguan, half of it is dealt with, and the other half is left."

Hearing the officers and soldiers reply like this, Luo Chu felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but clenched his hands hanging by his sides.

I just hope that the eldest princess has better luck and is not among the half of people who were dealt with...

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chu said solemnly: "Change to another cabin, and I will personally take care of the remaining people!"

The officers and soldiers hesitated for a few seconds and could only temporarily agree for the sake of the token.

At this time, an accident suddenly occurred among the third wave of people who were taken out of the cabin.

I only heard a woman say that she sprained her foot and was in so much pain that she couldn't get up.

Luo Chu sensitively noticed that the female voice speaking was familiar, and immediately ordered: "Take me to see what's going on!"

The officers and soldiers guarding the dock ordered the other two to accompany Luo Chu and others to check the situation.

When Qin Shuhuang Xuan Cang and his party were about to quarrel with the officers and soldiers, Luo Chu arrived with his people. When Luo Chu saw the young woman sitting on the ground and the strong man accompanying her, the worry in his eyes finally dissipated.

Fortunately, fortunately, he arrived in time!
When Qin Shuhuang raised his head, his eyes met Luo Chu's!
