It is always better to go where they are not prepared than to go where they are prepared.
Wei Xin exchanged a glance with her and then directly ordered: "Boatman, go to the south bank and take a look."
After a while, the man dressed as a boatman said, "I understand."
The boat quickly sailed towards the south bank and soon docked.
Tang Shiyue got off the boat leisurely, then walked straight forward, with Weixin following closely.
Now that they are here, the boatmen can no longer follow them with a legitimate reason, so they will definitely take action soon!
Tang Shiyue quickly glanced at both sides, then whispered to Wei Xin: "I'm leaving."
Wei Xin nodded.
She had responsibilities to fulfill, so she couldn't possibly escape first, and there was no guarantee that he could protect her, so the best way was for her to escape first and buy her some time.
So Tang Shiyue said, "I'll go to the bathroom for a while."
...
...
He bent down and entered a small shabby house next to him.
Wei Xin responded, turned around immediately, frowned and said to those people: "Stop! Do you understand the rules? Didn't the master say that he wanted to go to the bathroom?"
Those men stopped pretending, looked at each other, and drew their weapons!
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard from behind.
Tang Shiyue's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly quickened his pace.
She rushed into a room like a flash, then pushed open the door at the back. She looked around and caught a glimpse of the well next to her. There was a big sycamore tree next to it, and the rope with the bucket hanging on it was tied to the tree.
Tang Shiyue rushed over, grabbed the rope, carried the bucket to the water's edge, stepped into the bucket, and moved over to jump down.
There was a loud sound of water at the bottom of the well.
The big man wearing animal skins who had just chased after them suddenly turned his head and rushed in quickly.
Seeing the marks on the edge of the well, he smiled coldly, gripped his sword tightly, and walked over slowly.
…………
At the same time, on Yan Chengyuan's side,
He rowed the boat himself, and the boat went as fast as it could! It shot towards the shore like an arrow!
Before they arrived, Yan Chengyuan said from a distance: "Jiahe!"
Jia and a few others were waiting on the shore. Yan Chengyuan said very quickly: "Your master is in danger. There are at least ten people on the other side, all of them are martial artists. Hurry up and go to the island to rescue him!"
Jiahe was shocked. Before he could ask any more questions, he was about to run to the boat when he heard someone scream. Several ships on the shore had been pierced through at some point and were sinking!
Yan Chengyuan's expression turned cold, and he hurriedly ordered: "Connect the wood over there, and get a team of Yulin soldiers to help."
He walked forward while giving orders, and mounted his horse: "You try to get through here! I'll go around by land! Be quick!"
Just now, he actually noticed something was wrong at first sight!
At that time, Tang Shiyue saluted with his right hand clenched into a fist and his left hand wrapped outside. This was a "fierce bow" that was only used during funerals!
Moreover, she said "murder and arson", "bullying me because I was alone", and "wanting to kill me", she said it very clearly!
But at that time, he could see that there were seven boatmen on the boat, and judging by the draft of the boat side, there were still people in the cabin! He was not sure he could save her, so he could only pretend that he hadn't noticed anything!
But now, I have no idea what Tang Shiyue is like! Hurry! Hurry!
On the south bank.
The big man in animal skins was slowly approaching the well, step by step.
It was pitch black in the well.
The big man looked carefully for a long time before he saw a figure in the barrel. It seemed that the person had fainted. The whole person was lying in the barrel with his arms hanging down, motionless.
The big man took a stone and threw it in, then tried to call her twice, but she still didn't move. So the big man put his sword next to him, grabbed the rope, and slowly pulled it up handful by handful.
The bucket wobbled.
The big man lay by the well, and waited a moment after each lift, being extremely cautious.
Just when his whole mind was focused on the bucket... a shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.
The next moment, a rope suddenly strangled his neck and quickly tightened!
The big man let out a "ugh" sound, his hands loosened, and the bucket fell back into the well with a splash.
He tried desperately to grab back, but Tang Shiyue stepped on his back with all her strength, and he couldn't even straighten his back.
After a while, the big man's struggle slowed down, and then his body slipped and fell into the well with a loud bang.
Tang Shiyue suddenly jumped away, and sat on the ground as her legs went limp. She did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and climbed up with one hand, and picked up the big man's sword with the other.
She had just used her outer robe soaked in water to lure the enemy. Now, she was only wearing an inner robe and a thin cashmere coat, and she felt really cold.
She didn't dare to look into the well again, so she gritted her teeth and turned around quickly.
Almost at the same time as she turned around, she heard a voice outside: "Something fell into the well! Go and check!"
Tang Shiyue frowned.
In critical moments, she remained doubly calm.
There were pursuers outside, and she took a wrong step and entered the room.
But the room was empty, with only some tables, chairs and other items. By the door, there was a kimchi jar that seemed to have been kicked in half by the big man when he came in. There was nowhere to hide.
At this time, there were two splashing sounds in the yard, and someone seemed to jump over the wall and said, "There is water at the well!"
After a while, someone said in a trembling voice: "There's someone down there! It looks like Zhou Laozhu! He's dead!"
"That little bitch actually managed to kill Zhou Laozhu?"
"Don't fish for now, it's more important to find someone! If we can't kill her today, it will be hard to find another chance!"
"Don't worry, for the sake of our money jar, I will search everywhere to find her!"
The two men cursed at each other as they turned around and walked towards the room.
At this time, Yan Chengyuan dispatched people along the way and rode at full speed, and arrived at the south bank in less than two quarters of an hour.
The Yulin Army also arrived quickly, dispatched boats, and prepared to land on the island.
At the same time, Yan Chengyuan sent out men to search the south bank.
Soon, they found the seriously injured Wei Xin.
After a while, someone else came to report that a dead body was found in a family's well.
Yan Chengyuan went over to take a look and saw a big man who had been strangled to death.
There were footprints of several people in the yard, including one that looked like Tang Shiyue’s, and Tang Shiyue’s clothes were found at the bottom of the well.
Yan Chengyuan's back was stiff and his hands and feet were cold.
He seemed to have returned to the Langdao Mountain more than a decade ago, and saw with his own eyes the blood all over the ground and the torn swaddling clothes... His voice was trembling, but his expression seemed to be still calm and composed, "Light a torch and go down to take a look."
The personal guard went down to check and said, "Sir, there is nothing else."
Yan Chengyuan's heart suddenly dropped, but then it lifted up again: "Keep looking! Call... Call Miss Tang!"
Everyone obeyed the order and left. Yan Chengyuan looked around the room.
There were collapsed tables and chairs, messy utensils, and a kimchi jar with a big crack next to the door. The juice was overflowing and the kimchi inside was hanging out. It looked like there was no place to hide.
Yan Chengyuan sighed silently, turned around and walked out.
