Chapter 516 The person who wants your life

Thinking of this, Ning Muqing couldn't help but smile.

"What are you thinking about?" The man's deep voice sounded.

Ning Muqing came back to her senses and said perfunctorily, "I didn't think about anything. What do you want me to ask you? How did you arrange the plan?"

Chu Lixuan looked at her with cold eyes, stretched out his hand to touch the corner of her raised lips, and said with unclear meaning, "I don't think so, why do you smile like this? You look like a wild cat who has stolen something."

Ning Muqing, "What are you talking about?"

She took his hand away, touched the corners of her lips disbelievingly, and straightened them vigorously.

"Hurry up, I'm asking you if you're okay? You're asking about me instead." Ning Muqing rolled her eyes inwardly, she really couldn't ignore it for even a quarter of an hour.

It was so dark under the cliff that he could spot her eyes even if she snickered.

Chu Lixuan took back his hand casually, "If you tell the truth, I will tell you."

Ning Muqing choked and was speechless, "Are you concerned?"

Chu Lixuan said, "As for."

Ning Muqing, ""

He said coolly, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Can you look at the situation? It's going to be ugly soon, and now is the time to say these things? If you are so paranoid, you are hopeless."

Ning Muqing was speechless and didn't bother to talk to him, "If you don't say pull it down, you will know it later."

Chu Lixuan, "..."

at this time.

The sound was like the sound of a paddle hitting the water, coming from time to time.

Ning Muqing and Chu Lixuan squinted their eyes at the same time and looked upstream of the river.

Through the hazy mist, a circle of fire gradually emerged on the dark river surface, growing from small to large, becoming increasingly clear, and was heading in their direction.

It was a merchant ship traveling down the river.

There were torches on the ship, illuminating the bow and deck, allowing Ning Muqing and Chu Lixuan to see clearly what was going on on the ship.

The entire ship is about seventy or eighty meters long, two stories high, and looks very common.

There are no markings on the hull.

When the terrain of the mountain range reaches near the cliff, the mountains on both sides begin to shrink, forming a natural narrow mouth, a bit like the mouth of a bottle, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside.

Because of this, the water protecting the river was extremely turbulent when it arrived here. It rushed through the opening and spread instantly, hitting the cliff, and then broke out a shoal under the cliff, barely able to stop the ship.

Both Ning Muqing and Chu Lixuan saw that after the ship passed through the narrow mouth, it immediately furled its sails and there were many people busy on the deck.

Some people were busy furling the sail, some were busy pulling the rope, and some were lowering something into the river.

"They are dropping anchor, slowing down the ship and getting ready to dock."

Ning Muqing said softly, "A serious merchant ship will never appear in a place like this in the middle of the night. It should be them!"

Chu Lixuan also whispered, "Let's take a look first, it's not time to take action yet."

In just two sentences.

The people on the boat kept dropping heavy anchors, and the merchant ship gradually slowed down.

The bow of the boat began to change direction and approached the shore of the shallows under the cliff.

The simple pier on the shoal was not far from where Ning Muqing and Chu Lixuan were.

Soon, the two heard a dull loud noise of "Bang!!"

The merchant ship that was forced to turn could not control its speed, and the bow of the ship hit the side of the pier hard, causing the rocks on the shore to roll all over the place. A section of the ship's bow washed ashore and got stuck in the shoal.

But the ship itself did not suffer any damage, because the bow was covered with thick iron and was not afraid of impact at all.

After the merchant ship stopped, a dozen rope ladders were thrown from the deck.

Like an ant emerging from its nest.

One by one, masked men climbed down the rope ladder. Some people pulled chains to fix the hull, others checked the surrounding conditions, and others opened the deck fence and put down long wooden boards to form a ramp for loading cargo.

At this time, there was also movement coming from the other side of the cliff.

Ning Muqing heard the sound of falling rocks, looked up and saw gravel rolling down the cliff not far away.

Someone used a huge hanging basket to hoist things from the top of the cliff for people below to pick up.

Ning Muqing poked Chu Lixuan with her hand and said in a very low voice, "Did you let someone do it?"

Now that the matter has fallen into Chu Lixuan's control, it is naturally impossible for the previous group of people to deliver the goods as planned.

The person who is on the cliff and going down the box can only be arranged by Chu Lixuan.

Chu Lixuan said coldly, "It's all a show."

Ning Muqing showed an expression of approval and continued to look over.

There was a lot of movement.

The masked men in black on the dock also heard it, but they were not surprised.

Because according to the original plan, after the delivery person reached the cliff with the goods, he released the signal flare.

Their ships had arrived near the cliffs early, just hiding on other safe waterways.

After seeing the signal, the ship will drive towards the cliff. When the ship stops and docks, the delivery person on the cliff will also lower the goods.

The whole process was quiet and fast, with clear division of labor and orderly work.

At first glance, it seems that it has been done more than once.

Ning Muqing looked at the busy men in black with cold eyes, "There are more than fifty people in total. Counting the one on the deck and His Highness as he mentioned, the number of people on the ship should be around sixty."

Because we have to count the sailors and the like, and considering the size of the ship, seventy people are almost enough.

Chu Lixuan looked coldly at the busy scene on the dock and said to Ning Muqing, "You stay here."

Ning Muqing immediately guessed what he was going to do, "I'll go with you!"

Chu Lixuan looked down at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Ning Muqing refused to give in, "Now most people on the ship are busy moving iron ore, and the guards on the ship are lax, which is a good opportunity to sneak in. I won't hold you back, why don't you let me go?"

She was about to find the person behind the caravan to get the antidote.

If she is not allowed to go, then she works so hard to investigate the caravan and climbs the cliff in the middle of the night. What is she trying to do?

The river is noisy and the dock is busy.

The two of them would not be heard if they spoke quietly, but it would be different if they argued.

Ning Muqing was not easy to persuade. Chu Lixuan didn't have time to talk to her too much. He only said briefly, "Follow me, and be careful!"

With that said, he took the lead and walked silently along the shadow of the rock wall to the riverside.

Ning Muqing's mood suddenly improved and she followed him happily.

In less than a second!
Chu Lixuan dealt with the two men in black one after another. They didn't even have time to struggle, and their bodies fell limply.

Ning Muqing reached out to catch it and gently leaned the body against the wall, as if falling asleep.

After dealing with the gatekeeper, the two of them opened the door softly and entered without hesitation.

"Why did you come in again? What happened?" Behind the screen, the two people sitting by the window asked casually without looking back.

Chu Lixuan locked the door with his backhand.

Ning Muqing held the dagger in her hand, walked around the screen very quickly, and took a closer look.

Good guy!
These two people were actually playing chess in the room.

No wonder they had to ask someone to bring tea and snacks. It was so relaxing to play chess while drinking tea!
A sneer appeared on Ning Muqing's lips.

But at this time, the person who asked the question did not hear the answer, and raised his head with an unhappy frown. When he saw Ning Muqing walking around the screen, he suddenly screamed, "Who are you?!"

"The person who wants your life!"
