The moment Lord Zhou fell to the ground, Xiao Feng turned sideways and avoided the hidden arrow.
Xiao Feng came in front of Lord Zhou and quickly turned him over.
He found nothing. When he stood up and looked up, he saw a dark shadow flash past the window of the opposite boat.
A rocket suddenly came and the ship quickly caught fire. Youling screamed in fear.
Jiang Huo emerged from the darkness, threw Lord Zhou's body into the water, and then dived into the icy water. When he was about three feet away, he shouted, "Your Highness!"
The master and servant have worked together for many years and have a tacit understanding.
Xiao Feng tapped his toes lightly, and it was as if he was stepping on an invisible cloud, as if he knew the legendary magic of flying in the clouds. He stepped on Jiang Huo's shoulders and moved as lightly and gracefully as the wind to another ship where the assassin was.
After Xiao Feng successfully crossed to the boat, Jiang Huo swam over quickly like a nimble fish.
The ship of Prince Guangling's Mansion had not gone far when it saw the fire and turned back.
Wan Jinlan stood at the bow and saw Xiao Feng's nimble figure moving from one ship to another, as agile as a dragon.
On the boat diagonally opposite, Xiao Feng and Jiang Huo were fighting with the thieves.
Xiao Feng looks thin, but his every move is extremely agile, and his every move is completely different from what he usually displays, like a leopard hunting.
Wan Jinlan was shocked.
"Help! Help!"
The ship on the opposite side was already on fire, and theirs was the closest one.
Xiao Sirui asked the boatman to move the boat closer, but the actress named Yun'er on the opposite side hesitated and did not dare to jump.
Shen Xingyu was so disappointed with her: "Are you stupid? Come over here quickly."
Yun'er bit her lip. It was not that she didn't want to dance, but she had been starving herself to maintain her figure, so she had no strength at all, and now her legs and feet were weak.
If you jump, you will end up falling into the water.
Given the coldness of the water in this season, she would have almost died if she had fallen into the lake.
Wan Jinlan threw the rope over and said, "Tie it around your waist."
After she had tangled herself up tightly, Wan Jinlan instantly exerted force and pulled her directly over to the opposite boat.
Yun'er fell sideways on the deck, her heart pounding.
On the other ship, the battle ended quickly. Although some people committed suicide by swallowing poison, Xiao Feng still left two alive and neatly cut off their jaws, arms and legs.
At this moment, two fireworks exploded in the sky. Jiang Huo's face lit up with joy and he said, "Our people found the account book at the Zhou family."
Xiao Feng's expression also relaxed. It was worth it for him to sit here today and sacrifice his ears, surrounded by mournful music, and endure Mr. Zhou's pimping behavior.
After Mr. Zhou's body was fished onto the boat, when Xiao Feng's boat arrived, Xiao Sirui handed Yun'er over at Jiang Huo's signal.
Yun'er trembled and kept saying that what happened today had nothing to do with her.
Xiao Feng looked at everyone and said, "Turn the boat around and go back to the mansion."
They hadn't had much fun on the lake yet, and now they were forced to go back, which made them feel unhappy. But now that something had happened, they were really scared, and it didn't feel safe to continue on the lake.
In fact, on this lake, apart from listening to songs and watching the excitement, there was nothing else for these girls to do.
After the Lantern Festival, a ridiculous rumor spread in Yangzhou the next day that the governor of Yangzhou and the King of Qi were jealous of each other over an actor, and that the King of Qi had killed the governor of Yangzhou.
These messy things have nothing to do with Wan Jinlan. She is packing her luggage and preparing to return to Kyoto.
This time when Shen Qing came to visit her relatives, she stayed at the Shen family in Yangzhou City for nearly three months, which was indeed a long time.
Shen Qing understood that she might never see her parents, brothers, and sister again.
Wan Jinlan felt a little melancholy, not knowing what she had done in the past few months. Back in Kyoto, she was faced with an engagement, and she had no idea which boy her grandmother had chosen, or what kind of person he was.
It’s a pity that the Prince of Qi’s family background is different, so even when it comes to marriage, the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion cannot take the initiative.
Wan Jinlan always felt that she hadn't accomplished anything in the past few months, which made her a little melancholy.
She felt a little disappointed, but she also knew that she couldn't go too far. What she had done was already the limit of what her face could bear. If she went any further, she would be looked down upon.
She tried hard to find a husband that she liked, and although she didn't succeed, it didn't affect her reputation at all. She was just melancholy for a moment and then put the man out of her mind.
She was fiddling with her jewelry box in her room when Chuntao came in and said, "Miss, the King of Qi sent someone to invite you to his mansion for a long fish banquet, saying that it was to thank you for taking care of Diandian these days."
Wan Jinlan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Does my mother know?"
Chun Tao smiled and said, "Madam has already known about it. You can return home before the evening hour."
She had Diandian sent back yesterday, so today he invited her to his house for dinner. Wan Jinlan chuckled in his heart.
Hehe, it seems like she hasn’t accomplished anything in these few months.
"Bring out that new light orange jacket and skirt for me."
She has fair skin and is tall. She wears a short jacket on her upper body and a skirt on her lower body, which shows off her figure the most.
Chuntao skillfully combed her hair into a bun with her hair hanging down, pinned a butterfly-shaped hairpin on the bun, and inserted a few pretty pearl flowers. As for the earrings, they were light yellow cat's eye earrings.
The bun style is a common style for unmarried girls. Wan Jinlan usually wears her hair in other styles. Today, after she has done it up, she does not look formal, but not casual either. However, she looks fresh and pretty, and her hair is bright.
"Why don't you put on some lip balm, girl?" Chuntao suggested.
Wan Jinlan shook his head and said, "No need, now is the perfect time." Putting on lip balm would seem too deliberate.
When they arrived at the gate of Xiao Feng's mansion, Wan Jinlan could already smell the fragrance of the food before the carriage stopped.
Butler Wang was waiting at the door. When he saw her, he hurried over to greet her. "The prince is in the study discussing matters with someone. Miss Wan, please go and entertain him first."
Wan Jinlan nodded obediently and said with a smile, "I brought some pears. They are juicy and sweet. Chuntao came back yesterday and said you had a cough. You can use these pears to make snow pear soup, which can help a little."
Pears are not extremely rare in this season, but for Butler Wang, he was flattered that Miss Wan could remember such a small matter as his cough.
Wan Jinlan also returned the favor.
Everything is mutual. She treats others the way they treat her.
Diandian has grown a lot bigger than when he was first brought home. Wan Jinlan feels that it is fatter than it was a month ago, with more flesh on its body. It looks chubby and silly, but it can understand more words and is more lovable.
Today, Xiao Feng was still wearing a sky-blue brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns, a jade crown on his head, and a jade pendant around his waist. He exuded a sense of elegance and refinement as he walked.
This long fish banquet showcased various cooking methods of long fish, including stir-frying, braising, steaming, boiling, sautéing, mixing, pasting, and frying. Wan Jinlan enjoyed the delicious food and felt extremely satisfied.
After finishing their meal, the two went to the pavilion to drink tea, and Dian Dian noticed that the silly dog was chasing its tail in circles and biting it.
It’s a nice day today, and the warm sunlight is not as cold as usual.
Butler Wang took a look at the prince who was sitting there silently and looking towards the garden leisurely, and felt a headache.
Why don't you speak? It's really frustrating!
