Just when she was about to give up and decided to make a last-ditch effort and try her luck elsewhere, someone on the boat suddenly said, "Come up."
Li Qingluo was suddenly overjoyed. He gritted his teeth and made a final effort, turning over and climbing onto the boat.
The boat is not big, it is just a slightly larger punt.
The man sat in the dark tent, while Li Qingluo could only lie at the stern of the boat after turning over.
In this way, she already has a chance to survive, and she is naturally very grateful.
Perhaps they heard the sound of water here, and the flames on the shore gathered here in an instant.
Li Qingluo was wearing a moon-white long dress. She shrank her body nervously, fearing that she would be seen.
At this moment, the tip of the sword that had been pointing at her suddenly knocked under the stern.
Li Qingluo understood what was happening and quickly and slowly moved his wet body. He nimbly got into an extremely narrow cabin under the stern.
"There's a ship over there, do you want to go take a look?"
"Don't you want to live? Didn't you see the sword across the boat?"
"Then it can't be her. Let's go!"
Li Qingluo dodged the flames, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the cold sword tip was pointing in front of her again.
"come out."
Li Qingluo looked at the sword and swallowed hard.
The sword stretched out from the tent to her. She guessed that the sword was about four and a half feet long.
Since this person can carry such a long sword, he must not only be very skilled in martial arts, but also very tall.
She didn't know who she had offended, so she could only quickly and honestly crawl out from under the stern and then quickly shrink back to the stern.
"My apologies, my dear. Once those people on the shore leave, I will leave immediately and will not disturb you."
The sword's owner: "Are you the escaped slave?"
Li Qingluo gritted his teeth and replied, "I am indeed the person they are looking for, but I am not a runaway slave."
The man: "Not a slave?"
Li Qingluo: "Yes, my dear. Actually, I am the second daughter of General Li's family who was just found a few days ago. My name is Li Qingluo. Due to some grudges, I had to stay in the water to avoid these people's pursuit."
"When I return home safely, I will definitely bring some silver to repay my husband's kindness."
Li Qingluo must show enough sincerity, perhaps he will not die under this sword tonight.
She understood that with just a slight scratch from this man, the Qinhuai River would be stained with her blood.
She didn't want to die at the hands of someone else just after escaping Li Kechuan's pursuit.
Perhaps it was her sincerity that convinced this man a little.
He actually put away his sword.
But then he said, "You can repay me in another way."
Li Qingluo:?
It seems that this person is not short of money, but he actually refused the only thing she still has.
Li Qingluo: "I wonder what my lord wants?"
The man: "When I think of it, I will send someone to look for you."
Li Qingluo: Okay.
It seems that this person's identity is not simple, otherwise she would not say it so easily and send people to the General of Cavalry's mansion to look for her.
Li Qingluo didn't dare to speak anymore and just tried to shrink into the smallest corner.
Perhaps because she knew her life was no longer in danger, her consciousness gradually faded.
She didn't even know that shortly after she fell unconscious, the ship suddenly shook violently.
A tall black figure with a long sword on his body emerged from the boat and flew ashore.
Not long after, the sound of fierce fighting was heard from a nearby gambling house.
It was already curfew, but the shore was still brightly lit.
When everything calmed down, dark shadows appeared on the shore.
The leader was unusually tall.
The swords worn at the waist are all four feet and eight inches long.
Dressed in black, he exuded a bloody aura.
This person is none other than the current Sixth Prince, Prince Su, Duan Rongshi, who also serves as the Minister of the Dali Temple.
The firelight gradually illuminated the dark river surface. Duan Rongshi stared at the black-sailed boat and ordered, "Pull it over here."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The black-sailed boat slowly approached the shore, and the people on the shore saw that there was a girl lying on the stern?
Judging from the prince’s reaction, he knew about the existence of this girl.
Pofeng and the others then held down their weapons and did not rush forward to attack immediately.
But when he took a closer look, he found that the girl was not only unconscious, but her wet clothes were sticking to her body. Her figure looked slim and graceful, but her long black hair was disheveled and the half of her face that was exposed was swollen and her true appearance was invisible.
The skin is swollen and the complexion is pale.
Look, could he be dead?
Pofeng stepped forward to check Li Qingluo's breath. "Your Highness, he's still alive. Should we take him away and wait until he wakes up before questioning him?"
Duan Rongshi looked at him: "What are you trying to tell me?"
Po Feng was surprised: "Your Majesty, isn't this a female assassin?"
It looked like a female assassin who had been subdued by the prince with one move, otherwise why would she be lying in the prince's boat?
It can't be possible that the prince picked it up, right?
Their prince is not so kind.
Duan Rongshi's eyes flashed coldly, and he was very unhappy that his subordinates had presumptuously speculated about his actions.
"When did I say she was a female assassin?"
Po Feng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately knelt down: "I know I was wrong."
Duan Rongshi showed no expression: "After returning home, go and get the ten sticks yourself."
Facing this punishment, Pofeng seemed very happy: "Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhuiyu and a few others stood aside and listened to orders, not daring to speak nonsense like Pofeng.
Duan Rongshi took the initiative to speak, "This is the daughter of General Li Chaojing. Zhuiyu, go investigate what's been going on with the Li family lately. If this woman's behavior tonight was intentional, then investigate whether there's any connection between this General Li Chaojing and the group of people at the gambling house tonight."
When Zhui Yu and the others heard that this was the girl from the Li family, they were naturally extremely surprised.
But have they all seen that person in Qingsong Temple?
Everyone couldn't help but look at her a few more times, but unfortunately, they only saw her miserable appearance, which looked like a dead ghost.
If this was really a method deliberately set up by the Li family to get close to the prince, they were too willing to do it.
Zhui Yu: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Duan Rongshi: "Take her away and place her in the other courtyard."
"Yes, subordinates will obey your orders!"
When Li Qingluo woke up again, three days had passed.
She opened her eyes and looked at the elegantly decorated house in front of her. For a moment she didn't realize where she was.
There was incense burning by the window, and outside the window was a lotus pond in full bloom.
Li Qingluo had never seen such a beautiful scenery before, and was stunned for a moment.
Just then, someone pushed the door open and saw that she was awake, with a look of surprise on his face.
The maidservant made gestures and only made "ah ah" sounds when she opened her mouth. Li Qingluo then realized that she was a mute slave.
Li Qingluo followed her out of the yard. There were several busy maids and servants in the yard, and they were all mute!
Although they all had gentle smiles on their faces, Li Qingluo still couldn't help feeling scared when he saw this scene.
But she soon realized that they had no ill will towards her.
She quickly gathered her emotions, regained her composure, and asked, "Where is this?"
