Jiaochu

After breakfast the next day, someone knocked on the door. When Su Shi opened the door, a smiling face appeared in front of him, and he was immediately pulled away.

Huo Xuan was giving instructions to the guards on the deck. One person pulled another person over. When he looked over, Wang Yanran raised her hand and took Su Shi's arm. It was not so much holding it as forcing it. Holding on, Su Shi looked embarrassed. If he had known that the other party was a woman disguised as a man, he would not have opened the door casually when the other party came to knock on the door.

Wang Yanran deliberately called Su Shi "Brother Su" in front of Huo Xuan, saying that she wanted to invite him to her room for a drink. She held Su Shi's arm tighter while saying that. Huo Xuan didn't say anything and turned around to leave. She was angry. She stomped her feet and dragged Su Shi to go drink. She wanted to stay drunk and refused to return. She didn't listen to Su Shi's refusal. After entering the cabin, she suddenly stopped. The next moment, she let go of Su Shi's arm and walked away alone. .

This scene happened to be seen by Yan Fei. He came over and asked Su Shi why he offended this little ancestor. Su Shi smiled helplessly. He didn't know the reason himself. Yanfei told Su Shi something, and the two of them arrived at Yanfei's room. Yanfei unfolded a map on the table. According to the current course and speed of the ship, they would arrive in Quanzhou in two days, and then take a carriage. You can reach the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in three or four days.

Su Shi saw a mark on the waters near Quanzhou, which was marked by Yan Fei. The Long Shadow Guard had previously detected that water bandits were infested in this area, and he was worried that the assassin would attack again. Before the assassin's identity was found out, Huo Xuan was still suspicious. If the assassin bribed the water bandits in advance and cooperated with the people on the boat, it would be difficult to deal with. Yan Fei told Su Shi that if something happened, he must take Ye Lingxi away first. , he broke up and met at Jixiang Restaurant in the east of the city.

"Have you told the princess about this?" Su Shi asked.

Yanfei shook his head and said we would talk after lunch.

After lunch, Xiao Anzi packed up the dishes and left. Then Yan Fei came over and stood outside the door, looking a little hesitant. He paused with his raised hand, then knocked lightly on the door. The bell came and opened the door. When he saw it, he saw that it was Yanfei and brought him in. He told Ye Lingxi that he might encounter water bandits on the road. He didn't say much else, but she also guessed that the assassin might strike again, and would most likely use the water bandits to create chaos and take the opportunity to assassinate.

In the evening, Ye Lingxi came out to get some air on the deck, and Yan Fei followed him. Huo Xuan came over and said that he would arrive in Quanzhou City the day after tomorrow, and said he would take Ye Lingxi to have fun for two days. Yan Fei refused and said no.

At this time, another person came over and said: "What is fun in Quanzhou? The capital is fun." Wang Yanran saw that Ye Lingxi was wearing half a golden mask, and her eyes did not look like a blind person, they were clear and beautiful, not what she imagined. Two of the eyes turned white, which was very scary. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Ye Lingxi, "Aren't you blind? Are you pretending?" Ye Lingxi replied, "You can't see clearly during the day, but it's fine at night. ." Wang Yanran smiled and said, "Then your disease is really strange. I've never heard of it. How can you not see during the day but see at night." Then he winked at Ye Lingxi and smiled, "Don't worry, I will help you. It's confidential." She stretched again, looked at the water in front of her and said, "I heard that there are water bandits in Quanzhou, but I don't know if it's true."

Ye Lingxi said: "Even if there are water bandits, they wouldn't dare to rob the official ship."

Huo Xuan said: "Don't worry, princess, I will never let those young people hurt a hair of the princess." Wang Yanran laughed and winked at Ye Lingxi, as if to say: Look, I'm right, I know how to coax the little girl with sweet words. She asked Yan Fei again, "If the princess and I are captured by the water bandits, which one will you save first?" Yan Fei felt confused and thought to himself, which one should be saved first? No need to ask, he replied without hesitation, "Princess." She smiled slyly, and asked, "If the princess and Brother Su are taken away, which one will you save first?" Yan Fei replied, "Both. save."

Ye Lingxi pursed his lips and smiled.

"You won't save me, right?" Wang Yanran glared, but her eyes glanced in the direction of Huo Xuan. Seeing that he didn't even look at her, she raised her voice and said, "Princess, do you know that Brother Xuan has a sweetheart in the capital? Miss Xianxian, the oiran from Zuiyue Tower." Huo Xuan glanced at her with a cold look, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, and Huo Xuan turned around and left. She whispered to Ye Lingxi again, "Princess, don't trust anyone." Then she glanced in the direction Huo Xuan left, as if to remind Ye Lingxi to be wary of this "cousin", and sighed, "Today is different from the past. The Queen has changed, and the Emperor has also changed." At this point, she raised her hand and shushed, then winked at Ye Lingxi, turned around and walked away.

"The Queen has changed, and so has the Emperor." Ye Lingxi repeated in a murmur, and a thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that the Emperor was also changed? !
This thought made her heart skip a beat, and she felt a little cold on her back. Yan Fei also thought of this, his expression became a little more solemn, and he comforted her with a firm and fearless voice, "Don't worry, I'm here." She looked into those deep and firm eyes and smiled, even though there was someone in front of her. She is not afraid of all the difficulties and dangers.

After returning to the room, Ye Lingxi sorted out her thoughts. First of all, her eldest sister fell seriously ill when Emperor Zhou ascended the throne. It was not ruled out that someone wanted to get rid of her eldest sister and seize the position of queen at this time. She was the first one. The object of suspicion was naturally the Marquis of Anqing who sent his daughter to the palace. He was extremely powerful and it was not difficult to bribe the imperial doctor, but he did not bribe the high priest. It was the high priest who rescued her eldest sister.

What should this high priest know.

The power of the Anqing Marquis Mansion is overwhelming. Could it be that this plot was arranged by the other party, using a pair of puppet emperors and empresses to control the government and the harem, and usurp the throne when the time is right?

If it was true as she thought, would her eldest sister have already... This thought flashed through her mind. She shook her head vigorously. As long as there was a chance, she would rescue the person and bring him back to Dahui. .

As if her determination was sensed by the people behind the scenes, streams of fire fell on the ship late at night. A closer look revealed that the streams of fire turned out to be flaming arrows. Seven or eight ships surrounded the official ship from all sides, and soon Ropes were thrown one after another, and the iron hooks on the ropes hooked the side of the ship and the mast. Black figures quickly stepped onto the ropes to board the ship. They were agile and did not look like ordinary water bandits.

When Huo Xuan led the guards to cut off the rope to stop the enemy, Yan Fei brought half of the Dragon Shadow Guards over to support, and the other half stayed at Ye Lingxi's place. Su Shi, Bai Hu and Xiao Anzi also came to her place. He had made an agreement with Su Shi that when the corresponding ship arrived, he would leave immediately without waiting for him.
