Cypress Boat Floating

The other party seemed determined to take Lu Ci Qiu's life, and was attacking Lu Ci Qiu from all angles.

At the beginning, Ye Jianqing didn't know what weapons the other party was using, so he was very cautious. He just defended and didn't take the initiative to attack.

But as time went on, the opponent's speed began to slow down, and it was obvious that the opponent's target was Lu Ci Qiu, so Ye Jianqing deliberately exposed a flaw to the opponent, and the opponent wanted to seize this opportunity to hit him with one blow.

When he slowed down, Ye Jianqing, who had received professional training, could see where the other person was at a glance, and she stabbed him with a knife.

Before the others could see where the person was, they heard a painful cry. When they looked again, they saw a short, shifty-looking man lying at Ye Jianqing's feet.

Ye Jianqing used grappling skills to tackle him to the ground. A smart soldier quickly handed him a hemp rope. Ye Jianqing tied the man up and after making sure that he could not break free, he threw him to the ground and turned around to care about Lu Ci Qiu.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Ye Jianqing was afraid that Lu Ci Qiu was injured because of what she did just now. If Lu Zhixing knew that she used Lu Ci Qiu as bait when she went back, he would kill her.

"I'm fine, are you okay?" Lu Ci Qiu was very touched to see that Ye Jianqing cared about him so much, and selectively put aside the fact that Ye Jianqing had just used him as bait.

Ye Jianqing felt relieved when he saw that Lu Ci Qiu was fine, and turned to look at the man on the ground.

The man bared his teeth at Ye Jianqing. Ye Jianqing didn't understand what kind of Kung Fu he had just used. Zhang Quansheng seemed to be fighting fiercely in front of her, and it was hard to tell who would win. She also wanted to go over and help. But if she left, what would she do if this guy started to act up again?

Ye Jianqing squatted down and looked at him. He also stared at Ye Jianqing viciously, as if he was determined to eat Ye Jianqing.

So, Ye Jianqing decided to make him unable to move.

She had learned some things about the body structure before she traveled through time, and after coming here, the Dark Guard Camp also taught her, so she was quite adept at making a person unable to move.

She twisted several important joints of the man's body. Every time Ye Jianqing moved, the man screamed in pain. Within a few twists, the man was sweating profusely and lying on the ground as if he had no bones.

"You evil woman, what have you done to me?" the man cursed viciously.

Ye Jianqing stood up and clapped his hands, saying nonchalantly: "Nothing, I just want you to have a good rest. Aren't you tired from running around just now? I broke several of your joints, and it will hurt if you move, so I advise you not to move." After that, Ye Jianqing instructed several soldiers next to him: "Keep an eye on him, don't let him run away."

After saying that, she led Lu Ci Qiu to run forward. The remaining soldiers looked at each other, and looked at the man with dislocated joints on the ground, and shuddered silently. This girl looked gentle and elegant, but she didn't expect that she was so cruel in reality.

Ye Jianqing pulled Lu Ci Qiu forward, but their direction was not towards Zhang Quansheng's battlefield, but to hide in another corner.

Through Ye Jianqing's observation and analysis, Zhang Quansheng has a great chance of winning against Black Bear. After all, Black Bear is just a bandit. He only has brute force and not much skills. He cannot compare to a general like Zhang Quansheng who walked out of a pile of dead bodies. Although it will take some effort for Zhang Quansheng to defeat him, it will not be difficult.

The soldiers here were all carefully selected by Zhang Quansheng. Although they had not been on the battlefield many times, they were not comparable to those petty thieves. So Ye Jianqing didn't need to worry about them at all.

What Ye Jianqing is worried about now is the person next to him.

"Why did you bring me here?" Lu Ci Qiu asked in a low voice as he followed Ye Jianqing and hid behind a big tree.

"The man just now was targeting you. We can hide here now to see who wants to kill you, so that we can be prepared in the next period of time. Now is just the beginning, and the more time passes, the more chances there will be to kill you." Ye Jianqing looked at Lu Ci Qiu with disdain. Isn't this man usually very smart? Why does he seem to be clueless at this moment?

Lu Ci Qiu said "oh", closed his mouth and stopped talking. He followed wherever Ye Jianqing looked.

Although he practiced martial arts, he had never been in actual combat, so to be honest, he was not as strong as Ye Jianqing in these aspects.

The chaotic battlefield in front gradually ended with the victory of the army. The black bear was also captured by Zhang Quansheng. Some of the remaining minions were smarter and chose to run away when they saw that they could not win, while some had already been captured by others.

After taking inventory, I found that I had caught at least ten or twenty of them.

After calming down and making sure there was no danger, Zhao Wenbin climbed out of the carriage timidly and looked at the chaos in front of him with fear.

With trembling legs, he walked to Zhang Quansheng's side, his voice trembling a little as he spoke: "Zhang, General Zhang, have you captured all the bandits?"

Zhang Quansheng looked down on these civil servants, and now seeing Zhao Wenbin's appearance, he was even more disdainful. Usually he looked superior and looked down on the military officers, thinking they were vulgar and uneducated. Now that something happened, they still had to be protected by the military officers.

"It's okay." Zhang Quansheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He had to find Lu Ci Qiu first. Lu Ci Qiu was the eighth prince, and the most important thing was that he was okay.

However, he searched everywhere from beginning to end but couldn't find Lu Ci Qiu and Ye Jianqing.

Ye Jianqing frowned and looked at the distance. She always felt that things were not that simple, but it seemed like it was over like this.

She bit her lower lip and looked around, especially at the higher peaks, as she always felt that something seemed to be wrong.

But seeing that Zhang Quansheng had already gathered the team, Ye Jianqing could no longer hide and walked out with Lu Ci Qiu.

As a result, as soon as they walked out, a sharp arrow shot at them.

When he saw this arrow, what came to Lu Ci Qiu's mind was the arrow that was shot at them before his rebirth and Ye Jianqing who was standing in front of him. His heart ached for no reason and he subconsciously stood in front of Ye Jianqing.

......

Silence...

The whole world seemed to have pressed the mute button. It was so quiet that there was no feeling of an arrow piercing my heart as I imagined, and my body did not hurt at all.

Lu Ciqiu quietly opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was Ye Jianqing's surprised expression: "You, what are you doing?"

Lu Ci Qiu looked around and found that Zhang Quansheng was looking at them in surprise with an arrow in his hand. Zhao Wenbin was squatting on the ground looking at them, and the other soldiers were also looking at them.

Without the imaginary arrow, there is no more face.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! ! ! !

Lu Ci Qiu was embarrassed!

He seemed to have done something embarrassing.

"Ahem, well, I'm afraid you're injured and can't protect me, so I'll just help you block it with reluctance." Lu Ci Qiu coughed twice and said in a strong and calm voice.

"Thank you." There was no expected ridicule, just a simple and ordinary thank you. She suddenly changed the subject: "But don't do this in the future. It's very dangerous."

Lu Ci Qiu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay." But in fact, he thought that if this happened again next time, he would still help her block the arrow.

"General Zhang, do you know that guy over there?" Seeing that everyone was still secretly looking at him, Lu Ci Qiu quickly put away his smile and pointed at the thin man and asked.

"I know him. His name is Black Snake. He's the third in command of the Black Tiger Gang and is good at sneak attacks." Zhang Quansheng replied.

"Hold him down and hand him over to Miss Ye for interrogation. There must be a reason for these people's sudden attack this time. General Zhang, take inventory first to see if anything is missing and how many people are injured or dead." Lu Ci Qiu took on his responsibilities as a prince and gave orders seriously.

Ye Jianqing originally planned to tell Lu Ci Qiu and ask him to hand over the black snake to him for interrogation, but he didn't expect that he would actually say it on his own initiative.

Zhang Quansheng counted all the things without missing anything. He arrested 22 bandits and killed 10 of them. Among the arrested people, there was a second in command and a third in command. It can be said that the Black Tiger Gang had many talents this time. Unfortunately, they were all arrested, and the Black Tiger Gang also suffered more than half of its losses. It was a pity that the first in command and the so-called military advisor were not arrested this time, otherwise the Black Tiger Gang would have been wiped out directly.

On the disaster relief team side, ten people were injured and two died. The damage was not serious. After everyone took inventory, they hurried out of the forest to rest. If they continued to stay in the mountains, they were afraid that the Black Tiger Gang would come back again.

Originally, the plan was to travel light and seize every opportunity to reach Lingnan, so the team did not bring many carriages. Everyone rode on horseback, except Zhao Wenbin, who could not ride a horse and took a carriage.

But because the bandits were now being tried, Zhao Wenbin had to lend his carriage to Ye Jianqing.

The black snake was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, while Ye Jianqing was sitting beside it, drinking tea slowly and without saying a word, slowly wearing away his patience.

It wasn't until the black snake started to feel a little uncomfortable that Ye Jianqing asked, "Tell me, why did you attack us? Who arranged it?"

Unexpectedly, this black snake was also a strong-willed snake. It clenched its teeth and refused to let go.

"No one arranged this. You have so much money. If I don't rob you, I'd be stupid."

"Oh, the Black Tiger Gang is so powerful that they even dare to rob the government." Ye Jianqing sneered.

Black Snake bit his lower lip. He looked down on Ye Jianqing and felt in his heart that as long as he didn't speak, Ye Jianqing would have no way to do anything to him. However, he didn't expect that his contempt would make him pay a huge price.

Even though he didn't say anything, Ye Jianqing was still able to do nothing about him. She had learned a lot of interrogation methods, both before and after the time travel.

"I admire a tough man like you." Ye Jianqing put down the teacup and smiled at him.

The people guarding the carriage stood upright. No one knew what was happening in the carriage. They just listened to Black Snake's painful and miserable screams coming from the carriage. Everyone covered their ears silently and chose to ignore the screams.

The tied-up Black Bear stood not far away, listening to the sound coming from Black Snake. He was worried about his brother and his own fate, and he shouted in a bluffing manner: "What did you do to my brother? Let him go! Let him go! When our eldest brother arrives, you will know how miserable it is."

Zhang Quansheng slapped his hand and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It will be your turn soon."

After saying that, Zhang Quansheng glanced at the carriage. He didn't know what Ye Jianqing was doing in it. He was not worried about the fate of the Black Snake. He was just worried that if Ye Jianqing killed the Black Snake, how would he report to his superiors? That would not be good for Ye Jianqing.

The screams of pain coming from the carriage made Zhang Quansheng swallow subconsciously, and he secretly thought that he must never provoke Ye Jianqing in the future.

After a while, Ye Jianqing came out. She jumped off the carriage with a heavy face and walked to Lu Ci Qiu.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her coming, Lu Ci Qiu hurried forward.

"Come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Ye Jianqing pulled Lu Ci Qiu to the other side.

"Someone paid them to kill you, no matter the cost."

Lu Ci Qiu bit his lip. This was within his expectations. "Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know. The other party is a masked man."

"Do you think this could be the same person who tried to assassinate us before our rebirth?" Lu Ci Qiu asked.

Ye Jianqing frowned. She didn't know how to say it. After all, the current historical trajectory was not consistent with the period before her rebirth. If she only used this incident to measure it, she couldn't be sure.

"I can't be sure of that, but what is certain now is that someone doesn't want you to go to provide disaster relief."

"Of course. I will win whether I go or not. They definitely don't want me to go." Lu Ci Qiu shrugged and said indifferently.

"Now what?"

"What else can we do? We can't give up halfway. We have to go. Not only do we have to go, but we have to do it well and then return safely and smoothly." Lu Ci Qiu was full of confidence.

Ye Jianqing was not so confident. In fact, she was still quite worried. If it was just her, then it would be fine. But now there was also Lu Ci Qiu, so the uncertainty was much greater.

"It's okay, let's take it one step at a time. Pay more attention to Zhao Wenbin. These people are very useful and may have been sent by him." Lu Ci Qiu glanced at Zhao Wenbin who was sitting and resting in the distance.

"Him?" Ye Jianqing followed his gaze and looked over.

Zhao Wenbin was sitting on a rock. It was the first time he had seen a dead person and he still hadn’t recovered. He was staring blankly with a bowl of hot soup in his hand. He didn’t look like the kind of person who would kill Lu Ci Qiu.

"If it's not him, then it must be arranged by the master behind him. I guess he has something to do with this." Lu Ci Qiu sighed and comforted Ye Jianqing: "You still have to be more careful in the next period of time. It will become more and more difficult to travel in the southern city. You have to be careful about everything."

He knew that the first step was difficult, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult after he took just the first step. Assassins had already been sent out to kill him. Could it be that they really couldn't even kill him?
