Thrilling Pier
With a whistle from Ma Su, the secret guards who had been lurking around the ship jumped out and surrounded Feng Chenyu and Shao Hansu.
"Since Xu Zhizhou is so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as Feng Chenyu finished speaking, he turned around and went to the cabin, and then there was a clanging sound of fighting in the cabin.
Because the number of people on both sides was quite different, even though the secret guards all had unique skills, the people on Xu Renfeng's side were also quite skilled.
As of now, it seems that the two sides are still tied.
Seeing this scene, Feng Chenyu knew that continuing to waste time like this was not the best option.
So he, who had just been fighting with someone on the deck, jumped in front of Xu Renfeng at the bow and tried to catch him.
As the saying goes, catch the leader first!
Perhaps because he didn't expect him to be so quick, Xu Renfeng, who had just been watching the fight, was so scared that he turned around and ran under the boat.
When Feng Chenyu was about to step forward and use a knife to stop him from escaping, a sharp arrow whizzed over.
Although Feng Chenyu reacted quickly and dodged, Xu Renfeng jumped off the boat and ran towards the alley on the side.
A group of people suddenly appeared not far from the dock, led by Zheng Duo, the Privy Council's advisor.
It turned out that Feng Chenyu had already written a letter to Yu'an earlier, so the court specially dispatched Zheng Duo to dispatch officers and soldiers to provide support.
"Go and help quickly."
Zheng Duo shouted to the soldiers behind him, and a group of people rushed onto the ship.
"Hello, sir."
Zheng Duo hurriedly dismounted.
"I have captured Liu Caotai and Liang Ye and have ordered them to be taken to the state prison. I have also sent people to surround the temple."
"good."
Feng Chenyu simply replied,
"Thank you for your hard work. I have something to do first."
After saying that, he jumped off the boat and went to look for Xu Renfeng.
Maybe everyone heard about the conflict at the dock, and the streets, which were just bustling, suddenly became crowded.
Feng Chenyu walked quickly on the street, not missing any possible hiding place.
He had clearly seen Xu Renfeng running in this direction just now, and since he didn't know any martial arts, he probably couldn't go far.
At this time, an old man was sitting at the door of a shop, looking worriedly at Feng Chenyu who was walking towards him.
"Uncle, did you see a man in official uniform passing by just now?"
The old man shook his head slightly, his expression unnatural.
Feng Chenyu turned around and looked around the store. It was a cloth shop, with hundreds of bundles of colorful cloth placed on the tables inside.
There was only one old man sitting at the door of such a big store, which looked a bit strange.
Feng Chenyu looked down suspiciously and suddenly found a slight trace of blood on the ground.
So he walked inside little by little. Just as he was about to lift the cloth covering the table, he saw the table suddenly overturned from underneath.
Then Xu Renfeng stood up with a knife against a little girl's neck, and blood was oozing from the girl's neck.
She was probably frightened and shed tears silently without saying a word.
"Don't come forward."
Xu Renfeng shouted excitedly, and then ordered,
"Throw away your knife."
Feng Chenyu had no choice but to take a few steps back, then threw the long sword in his hand aside.
Just as he was about to speak, a long arrow suddenly flew from behind and hit his right arm accurately.
Because his attention was on the girl, he ignored the movement behind him.
The one who shot him with the arrow was Liu Xinda who appeared out of nowhere.
Liu Xinda has loved bows and arrows since he was a child, so archery is the only thing he is good at.
"Zhizhou, are you okay?"
Seeing that he was hit by an arrow in the arm, Liu Xinda hurriedly threw away the bow and arrow in his hand and walked towards Xu Renfeng.
"Let the child go, and I'll give you a chance to live."
Feng Chenyu spoke while enduring the pain in his arm.
"Please let my granddaughter go."
The old man who was sitting at the door just now knelt down, kowtowed and cried bitterly.
"Let us out first."
Xu Renfeng held a knife and dragged the crying girl towards the door, with Liu Xinda following closely behind.
"Xu Renfeng, as the local official, how could you treat a child like this?"
Feng Chenyu shouted angrily.
"Humph, in the face of life and death, who cares about these things!
Besides, you can't even protect yourself now, so why are you trying to be a good person?"
After saying that, he threw his head back and laughed.
It happened in a flash. Just as he looked up, Feng Chenyu stepped forward with all his strength and kicked the dagger in his hand to the ground, then hugged the little girl in his arms.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Xinda helped Xu Renfeng up and ran out.
But as soon as he got to the road, he met Ma Sui who was looking for his son.
In the carriage, Feng Chenyu raised his hand and deftly pulled out the long arrow from his arm.
Ma Sui immediately tore off a piece of cloth from his waist and tied it around his wound. The navy blue sleeve was dyed red.
Feng Chenyu lowered his head and frowned. His face was a little pale, probably because of blood loss.
"Sir, you have to take care of your body. The injury you sustained last time hasn't fully healed.
Don't do everything yourself in the future.
Otherwise, if I get hurt again, I won’t be able to explain to the eldest master.”
Ma Sui spoke worriedly.
"snort."
Feng Chenyu chuckled, looked up and said jokingly,
"You traitor, who do you listen to all day long?"
Ma Sui didn't say anything. He knew that once their young master made a decision, it would be difficult for anyone to change it.
But he was in a really difficult situation. Every time the second young master was injured, the secret guards would inform the eldest young master, and then he would receive a letter of condemnation from the eldest young master.
Fortunately, the eldest son is not at home most of the time, otherwise he would probably scold me in person every few days.
In the evening, the family sat in the living room for dinner, and gossip was inevitable. Second Aunt Xu was talking about what happened at the dock today.
“Sister, I heard that our client Chen Yu was also present at the time.
Moreover, his real name is Feng Chenyu, he was sent from the capital, and he even holds the imperial gold medal in his hand!"
She said with relish,
"You never would have guessed that such a gentle and refined person could actually fight a group of people with a long sword."
Listening to her words, Mrs. Tong did not say anything, but just lowered her head and ate porridge silently.
Fuyao, on the other hand, was feeling very nervous.
She also heard that Feng Chenyu had a big fight with Xu Zhizhou and others today.
But Xu Zhizhou's side had a large number of people, and it was only after a group of officers and soldiers arrived that they captured them.
"I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
Feeling a little annoyed, Fuyao stood up and walked out.
After returning to her room, Fuyao was not sleepy at all. She paced back and forth in the room restlessly.
Soon Qing Ning came in hurriedly.
"My dear lady, I have heard that Master Feng was shot by an arrow while trying to save a little girl."
"Hit by an arrow?"
Fuyao turned back in surprise and said nervously,
"Where did the arrow hit you?"
Qing Ning shook his head silently.
"The person who said it didn't know clearly, he just said there was a pool of blood on the ground."
Hearing this, Fuyao walked out of the door anxiously.
In the black night, the stars blinked playfully, twinkling, forming a sharp contrast with Fuyao's anxious heart at the moment.
After a while, she flew into the old house.
Seeing that it was her, the secret guards did not stop her.
When I pushed the door open, I saw Feng Chenyu lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Fuyao quietly came to the bed and stood quietly beside it.
Looking at Feng Chenyu's pale face, her eyes unconsciously turned red.
The person on the bed coughed lightly, and Fuyao turned around awkwardly.
"Fuyao."
Feng Chenyu's low voice came from behind.
Because the previous injury had not yet fully recovered, the arrow wound triggered the old illness again, and the wound infection caused fever.
He had drunk some medicine and fell asleep at that time, so he didn't even know that Fuyao had come in.
"Fuyao."
He shouted again.
Fuyao turned around,
"I heard you were injured, so my mother asked me to come and see you."
Made an excuse.
Feng Chenyu slowly leaned against the head of the bed, pointed at his right arm and smiled.
"It's just an arrow wound. It's nothing serious. Don't worry, ma'am."
"Um"
Fuyao nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Since it was nothing serious, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Fuyao."
Seeing that she was about to leave in a hurry, Feng Chenyu hurriedly shouted,
"I'm sorry for hiding my true identity from you before."
Fuyao turned back and raised her red lips slightly.
"You don't have to apologize. I don't take it to heart. Go to bed early."
Looking at her leaving figure, Feng Chenyu felt a little uncomfortable.
She said she didn't take it to heart, which only means she just didn't care about herself.
News has arrived from the capital regarding the events in Ganzhou.
Let them set off today and return to Beijing for interrogation.
So Feng Chenyu and Zheng Duo discussed and planned to set off the next day.
Carrying the things that Ma Chong had bought in advance, Feng Chenyu entered the house.
Mrs. Tong has not been feeling well these days, so she didn't go to the shop and stayed at home to recuperate.
When she heard that Master Feng was coming, she sat in the hall waiting.
Madam Tong had someone take the things from his hand and personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Are you feeling better?"
She later heard about his injury.
"Aunt Lao was worried, but I'm fine now."
Feng Chenyu replied politely.
"You're done with everything you need to deal with."
Mrs. Tong sat back in her seat.
Feng Chenyu nodded and said softly,
"I'm here to say goodbye today."
"When are you leaving?"
There was reluctance in Mrs. Tong's eyes.
"tomorrow."
Feng Chenyu smiled lightly.
"So today I came here specifically to say goodbye to my aunt and Madam Shangguan."
"oh."
Mrs. Tong didn't expect it to be so fast.
"If you have nothing to do today, stay and have lunch with us.
Fuyao should be in her own courtyard. If you want, you can chat with her. I'll have someone call you when the meal is ready."
"good."
He readily agreed.
In the yard, Fuyao was sitting on the swing, swinging slowly back and forth, and the chain on the swing made a series of creaking sounds due to friction.
I thought that since Feng Chenyu’s problem had been resolved, he would probably be leaving soon.
Forget it, they are irrelevant after all.
Then he called Qingning to go into the house to get some Go, as the little girl just wanted to learn it recently.
Instead of dwelling on this nonsense, you might as well do something meaningful.
