Chapter 406: Fourth Brother, you disappoint me so much.
Wen Jiu saw that the Fourteenth Master looked very uncomfortable, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him, but the next second she realized that she had no control over her body at all.
At the critical moment, he suddenly realized that "his" hand reached out and grabbed Fourteen's wrist that was holding onto the cabin.
Wenjiu only realized at this moment that she was on a huge ship.
Fourteen came back to his senses from a trance and called out to "himself": "Fourth brother! Save me!"
Wen Jiu was stunned, and then she realized that she seemed to be attached to the Fourth Master.
Unlike the last memory fragment, this time she could even feel the surrounding environment and understand all of the Fourth Master's feelings, which she had no control over.
A sharp arrow pierced through instantly, and Wenjiu felt a pain in his wrist. The Fourth Master's arm was cut.
The Fourth Master's strength was almost exhausted, and the wound was on the arm that was holding the Fourteenth Master.
"Fourteen, wake up, Fourteen."
The Fourth Master shouted harshly, and the blood on his arm flowed down his arm to the Fourteenth Master's hand.
The Fourteenth Master must have been poisoned, and he seemed to be a little confused. Being scolded by the Fourth Master, he opened his eyes with difficulty: "Fourth Brother..."
The next second, the Fourth Master's pupils shrank and he suddenly let go of Fourteenth's hand.
Fourteen fell into the water in an instant, with an unconcealable look of astonishment in his eyes.
Wen Jiu was also stunned at the moment. The Fourth Master...
The next second, there was a whoosh sound, and the sharp arrow passed through the place where Fourteen had just stopped.
It was a close call. If the Fourth Master hadn't let go, Fourteenth would probably be just a corpse now.
When the Fourth Master turned over and tried to jump off the hold, a long knife came slashing at his head.
With a quick turn, the Fourth Master was surrounded by men in black.
Every move of the man was deadly, and Fourteenth didn't know what was happening. Wenjiu felt that Fourth Master's hands seemed to be unable to hold the sword, and his wrists were in great pain, and it seemed that his mind was beginning to become unclear.
There is poison on the knife!
Noticing that the Fourth Master was unable to walk steadily, Wenjiu used her remaining sanity to want to call out to him to wake up, but she couldn't make any sound.
In the end, the men in black were completely wiped out by the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master knelt on one knee in the cabin. The next second, he felt a pain in his thigh. In this pain, Wenjiu also woke up instantly along with the Fourth Master's consciousness.
The Fourth Master staggered and wanted to jump into the river to save Fourteenth, but he saw that the Eighth Master had already carried Fourteenth ashore from the wet water.
"Fourteen, Fourteen, are you okay?"
Fourteen, who was in a daze, slowly woke up and shouted, "Myna." Then he fainted.
The Fourth Master could no longer hold on and stopped.
Wen Jiu was really worried about him, but no matter how much he called out, the Fourth Master didn't respond at all. The next second, he suddenly felt suffocated.
"Why? Why are you so cold-blooded? Why can you watch your brothers die one after another in front of you? Yinzhen, speak up!"
The Fifth Master had climbed onto the cabin wet at some point and grabbed the Fourth Master's neck.
"Fifth brother, let go! Do you want to strangle fourth brother to death?" Prince Zhi scolded.
Fifth Master clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot. "Brother, Fourteen is his biological brother! He just watched Fourteen being thrown into the river without a care in the world! He's not even human!"
"Let go!" Prince Zhi frowned and shouted, "We were suddenly attacked by the enemy just now, and it's possible that the fourth brother couldn't take care of it for a while, and he was injured."
Fifth Master sneered with red eyes: "Can't take care of it? What can he not take care of? When I came up, he just stood there in a daze, watching Fourteen sink into the water. His clothes were not even wet!
"Big brother, his clothes weren't even wet! Aren't the lives of Sixth Brother and Eleventh Brother worth it? Now Fourteenth Brother has to die too!"
The Fifth Master suddenly exerted force with his fingers, his eyes turned red, and he looked like a ghost, as if he was going to break the Fourth Master's neck in the next second.
Wenjiu followed the Fourth Master and felt his consciousness being pulled away bit by bit.
Fortunately, at the last moment, it was the Prince of Zhi who knocked the Fifth Master's hand away.
"You're crazy! Even if the fourth brother is wrong, you can't kill your brother!"
"My little Fourteenth, what happened to you?" The Empress Dowager saw that Fourteenth was unconscious and walked up to him anxiously.
Behind her, the emperor, the princes, and a group of servants and officials surrounded Fourteenth so tightly that no one could get in or out.
Everyone gathered together and brought Fourteen into the cabin.
The Fourth Master behind him was kneeling on one knee, blood dripping down his sleeves and thighs onto the ground, and there was no one around him.
The warm wine attached to the Fourth Master's body, and he felt pain all over his body and his consciousness was blurred. However, the people in his sight gradually disappeared, and it seemed that they stayed there for a very long time.
Wenjiu could clearly sense that the Fourth Master was feeling unwell physically, but she really couldn't understand his mood. She just felt a little suffocated.
At this moment, she even wanted to put her arm around the Fourth Master's shoulders and hug him.
In a trance, the Fourth Master's body could no longer hold on and he slowly fell down.
"Fourth Brother, you disappoint me so much. Fourteenth Brother is your biological brother. What on earth are you thinking?"
When Youyou opened her eyes, she was faced with the grief-stricken look of Emperor Kangxi.
"You've been in charge of the waterway guards this whole time. Where were your guards when the incident happened? And what were you doing? Speak."
The Fourth Master said nothing, kneeling there motionless, looking as if nothing was wrong.
Only Wenjiu, clinging to him, could understand the pain he was going through. The burning pain in his wounds, his entire body scorching, even keeping his eyes open was exhausting. Kneeling like this, the wound on his thigh was constantly being pulled, the cold wood piercing his bones. For a moment, Wenjiu wanted to ask Xiaojin to get her out.
But in the end she still endured it, she wanted to take a look, and take another look.
It was raining. The Fourth Master was kneeling outside the cabin, the heavy rain pouring down on his body, his eyes empty.
The cabin was warm and everyone was talking around the Queen Mother.
After a long time, the Queen Mother came out of the cabin, walked slowly to the Fourth Master, and quietly covered the Fourth Master's head with an umbrella.
Wenjiu couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes. Finally, there was someone who still remembered the Fourth Master.
There was some spirit in the Fourth Master's empty eyes. He finally moved and said in a hoarse voice: "...Grandmother." As he spoke, he gently pulled the corners of his mouth.
Bang!
A cold slap landed on the Fourth Master's face.
The empress dowager was not very strong, and Wenjiu didn't even feel the pain on the side of his face. The pain of this slap was not even one-tenth of the pain on his arm.
But the Fourth Master kept his face turned sideways for a long time without moving.
"Evil creature, I don't have a grandson as cruel as you, so don't call me the Imperial Grandmother! Do you know that Fourteen was poisoned and has a high fever. The imperial physician said that the high fever was caused by choking on water!
In the past, I always thought that I had wronged you in the matter of Lao Liu! Today, I know that I was wrong!
