Lu Xun went straight to the rear side to grab the small boat towed at the stern. He climbed the railing of the boat with his left hand and hung his body upside down.

Hearing a "crash", the boat landed on the sea and drifted slowly along the current towards the back of the boat. Lu Xun hurriedly reached out to grab it, and was about to jump onto the boat when he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him.

Zhang Huan dealt with the believers outside the cabin, and was about to run back to the back cabin, when he turned his head and saw Lu Xun hanging upside down beside the boat, so he turned around and hit Lu Xun on the back with a hidden weapon in his hand .

A silver shuttle hit Lu Xun in the back of his heart, he groaned, not daring to fight, and reluctantly jumped down.

Zhang Huan was taken aback by his jumping into the sea. He didn't know whether to save him or not. He was hesitating when Lu Xun's voice came from behind, "Zhang Huan! What are you doing in a daze! Go and stop someone!"

While talking, Lu Xun and Jing Yue had already rushed to the side of the boat, they were still a step too late, Lu Xun had already paddled the boat and sailed far away.

Lu Xun patted the railing resentfully, turned around and walked to the back cabin, "Teach the helmsman to steer the helm, and set sail to catch up."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion from the front, a maid ran out with a bucket in a panic, Lu Xun's face changed, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed someone and asked, "What are you doing carrying water?"

"The thief lit a fire on the boat when he fled, and the golden saffron was burning. If the fire is not extinguished, the whole boat will sink!"

Lu Xun gave a "tsk", stomped his feet, quickly took the wooden barrel from the maid, and ran towards the side of the boat.

The people on the boat rushed to put out the fire, but fortunately they found it in time, the fire didn't burn up, and only the board of the boat was blackened.

As the crescent moon sinks to the west, clusters of golden light break out from the eastern sea and sky, a round of golden crows rises slowly, and the dark blue sea suddenly shimmers, and the merchant ships finally regained their tranquility.

Lu Xun stood still on the rear side, the sea breeze blew from his back, and the black hair was blown all over his face, Lu Yi committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and Lu Xun sailed away by boat. Who is their "behind-the-scenes nobleman" is unknown.

At that time Lu Xun said that Lu Feng was on the wrong team.What team can a Jianghu sect stand on?This kind of words is generally used in court cronies or imperial power struggles.

Lu Xun frowned slightly, clenched and loosened his hands on the railing.

Now the situation in the imperial court seems to be calm, but in fact, undercurrents are surging.

The Emperor of Chu wants to gain power day by day, the Empress Dowager wants to listen to the government behind the curtain, the civil servants in important positions in the court want to elect a "virtuous" emperor who will obey his orders, and the Mobei Rongdi who is about to move... ..

If what Lu Xun said about "standing in line" was really a part of the imperial court's forces, then Jing Yue would be in danger.

Because these forces in the court are stalemate with each other, if they want to achieve their goals, they need to get rid of the regent first. Jing Yue is the first to bear the brunt, but now they don't know what Lu Xun is planning secretly, Lu Yi would rather throw himself into the sea than say a word This sentence shows how important this matter is to the "behind the scenes".

Lu Xun's eyes gradually dimmed. He had to find a way to figure out the forces behind Lu Xun first, so that he could counter their plan "from a high place".

But if the Lu family had been wiped out as Lu Xun said, then it would be even more difficult for him to find an insider.

How to do it?All leads are broken, where to start?

Lu Xun frowned, tapped his finger on the railing, and was thinking, when suddenly a sharp pain spread from his shoulder blade.

"Ahem..." His body swayed and he fell forward. He held on to the railing tremblingly, bit his thin lips with his teeth, and pushed up his wide sleeves. On his snow-white arms, a grain of rice-sized bruising marks.

Counting the days, it has been more than a month since the opening of the cabinet, and it took two months for the first bone-attached needle to have toxicity... So, the time has come.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, Lu Xun's thin lips turned purple from the pain, he clenched the railing tightly, his knuckles were bluish white from the force, he curled up against the side of the ship and sat down slowly, the sea breeze was blowing on his body like a knife, It touched his skin a little bit.

It hurts.

Lu Xun didn't know how long he had endured it, and when the sharp pain passed, he stood up again drowsily while leaning on the railing, his pupils were still a little dizzy, and he couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Jing Yue came to look for Lu Xun on the deck after disposing of the corpses piled up in the cabin.

The man was dressed in white and stood tall at the stern of the boat. The jade-colored hair band was blown away by the wind, and he lost quite a lot of weight, like a butterfly on a leaf, which would be blown away by the strong wind in the next second.

Jing Yue stepped forward quickly, pulled Lu Xun into her arms from behind, and said softly: "The wind and cold just blow like this? Huh?"

As if holding Duan Bingxue in his arms, the biting cold came through his clothes, Jing Yue's heart tightened suddenly, he hurriedly supported his shoulders and turned Lu Xun's body around, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xun gently leaned into Jing Yue's arms, warm and wrapped him up, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I... just feel sorry for the Lu family."

The voice was very low, and Jing Yue couldn't hear it clearly unless he listened carefully. He took off his coat and put it on Lu Xun, then picked him up, "Let's go back to the house."

"The forces behind Lu Xun must be found out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very bad for you." Lu Xun rubbed against Jingyue's neck, stretched out his slender fingers, and grabbed Jingyue's front skirt, "I have to find a way to find out. What is the situation in the Lu Manor now, and is there anyone alive?"

Jing Yue's eyes flickered, she was so weak and still thinking about herself, this person probably loved herself to the core.

He carried Lu Xun back to the house and wrapped him in a quilt. Together he saw a winter stove piled up in the corner, so he brought the stove to the side of the bed.

The tongue of fire engulfed the dry wood, and the heat slowly dissipated. It was midsummer, and the room was already very hot. Adding a heater, Jing Yue's clothes were soaked with sweat in no time, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to her body.

After being warmed by the heater for a while, Lu Xun felt better. He slightly opened his eyes, saw the stove, and then frowned and smiled: "What kind of stove is it on in such a hot day? Are you stupid?"

"Is it still cold?" Jing Yue stepped forward and touched Lu Xun's cheek.

"It's not cold anymore, you should take the stove away." Lu Xun shook his head lightly, and he stretched out a hand from under the quilt to wipe the sweat from Jingyue's forehead, "If you burn it again, you will be cooked."

Jing Yue grabbed Lu Xun's hand, squeezed it, frowned and said, "Don't stand in the wind if you can't blow the wind. Do you hear me? At least you listen to me and be good."

"Well, good." It was rare for Lu Xun not to refute Jing Yue, and nodded obediently. Then he thought of something, frowned slightly, and said, "It's a pity to teach Lu Xun to escape."

"You don't have to worry, the clues haven't been broken yet, and we haven't gained the upper hand." Jing Yue smiled and said, "I have been teaching Zhao Ying to keep an eye on him. Zhao Ying is a master of disguise, and he is more cautious than Zhang Huan, and he also knows how to do things." How to protect himself, he is the best at being a 'spies' and 'undercover'. The believer who opened the window we saw on the boat last night was pretending to be him."

Hearing this, Lu Xun heaved a sigh of relief. He pondered for a while, then looked at Jing Yue with a smile in his eyes, "I claim to be impeccable, but compared with the prince, I'm really nothing."

"Run on me again?" Jing Yue also smiled, and reached out to pat the center of Lu Xun's eyebrows, "I was checking on Lu Xun before I met you, so naturally I know better than you."

"Oh." Lu Xun pursed his lips, and he said, "So our cunning Prince An, have you found out the forces behind him?"

"It's just a guess right now, I'm not sure." Jing Yue rubbed his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "The Lu family was indeed destroyed, and those who attacked were all Zoroastrians."

"Is it all?" Lu Xun squinted his eyes, and he was silent for a moment and whispered: "So now you are suspecting that the power behind Lu Xun is the current emperor?"

Apart from the Fire Talisman in charge of the Lu Mansion, only the Emperor Chu could mobilize a large number of Zoroastrians.

But why did Jing Jun save Lu Xun and destroy the Lu family? He was still a pawn he placed next to Jing Yue. Wasn't Jing Jun afraid that doing so would chill him and finally bite him back?

Lu Xun was puzzled and remained silent.

"It's just a guess. It's unlikely that it's Jing Jun." Jing Yue frowned slightly, and he continued: "Later, Zhao Ying pretended to be a believer and followed Lu Xun and Lu Yi all the way out to sea. If you go to the top of the second peak of Changbai Mountain in Liaodong, look for something."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, and he said: "Changbai Mountain is the place where the Xiaoyao faction made its fortune, and the sect's mansion is built on the mountainside. If they want to go up the mountain to find things, they will definitely meet with the Xiaoyao faction..."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, opened his thin lips lightly, gritted Jing Yue's fingers with his fine white teeth, thought for a moment, and continued: "If we can think of this, Lu Xun and the people behind him must also be able to think of it. Then if they want to go up the mountain, there are only two ways. They can communicate with the people of the Xiaoyao faction. The people of the Xiaoyao faction also need that thing, or...they use some kind of power. For example, the prefect of Liaodong should go to Changbai Mountain to collect herbs , the so-called 'people don't fight with officials', the Xiaoyao faction can't stop it."
