Travel back to ancient times to be a beautician
Chapter 133 One-hand payment, one-hand delivery
Looking at the scene in front of him, Sunan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lin Jun would chop up the person in front of him in a fit of anger. This would directly escalate from a kidnapping case to a homicide case.
The mahogany crutch of the third elder broke into two sections directly. This was not the worst thing. The tidy hair crown on the third elder's head was cut off and fell to the ground. His white hair was scattered and his shape was a bit funny.
"Bastard...you bastard...you are so brave!!" The third elder was anxious, but he also saw Lin Jun's power, so he didn't dare to speak wild words casually, and he didn't hold back anything for a long time.
"I respect you as an old man. This time I just gave a slight warning. If I hear you insult my father next time, it will be more than that simple." Lin Jun said coldly.
These days, knowing martial arts is so good, it is reasonable to respect the old and love the young, how can I be so happy this time?Sunan suppressed a smile.But he saw Chu Qixun walking in front of Mr. Zhou with a sullen expression, and said, "Mr. Zhou, now that there are witnesses and evidence, I don't know what to do with them?"
Zhou Dalai cursed secretly in his heart, he clearly disliked him for being troublesome before and let him stay aside, but this time he was asked to come out to block the knife.It can be seen from just now that Wei Guogong is not easy to mess with. If he is unfavorable this time, will he kill himself on the spot?
No wonder Mr. Zhou is greedy for life and afraid of death, it is because Duke Wei has a criminal record.I remember that last time it was the eldest lady of his family who was divorced by some son. At that time, the ancestor also sent troops to surround the mansion without saying a word. Although the emperor reprimanded him a few times afterwards, he did not blame her.
Now, the eldest lady's whereabouts are unknown again, and the situation is much more serious than last time. If I don't handle it well, the official hat on my head may not be safe.Gritting his teeth, Lord Zhou decided to bring at least one person into custody temporarily.
When the third elder heard that someone was going to be arrested, he glared at him and slapped the table, his veins popping up: "Who dares, I see who dares?" The scene was full of chaos and chaos.
Unexpectedly, Li Lizhi stood up and said that he came out voluntarily, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.The third elder was obviously relieved, Sunan frowned, the purpose of his visit this time was not to let Li Lizhi go to jail.
None of the people were satisfied with the result, so Zhao Ping was missing, and the next thing to do was to find his trace.Li Lizhi looked very calm, he was taken away by the yamen servants, and when he passed by Sunan, he took a look at him.
The two stared at each other for a short time, and quickly passed it.Their group was aggressive, but now they had such a result that the most important information was still not found, but Lin Jun agreed to withdraw his troops, which made Lord Zhou heave a sigh of relief.
----------
It was Li Lizhi's first time entering prison, and unlike his imagined eerie horror, the conditions of the place where he lived were not bad.A bed and a table, although simple, are quite clean and tidy, but the air has a mildewy and musty smell, which is somewhat unpleasant, but everything else is fine.
To his surprise, the quilt was newly changed. It seems that Jingzhao’s prison conditions are really good. At night, there are still three dishes and one soup. Li Lizhi changed his shoes, lay on the bed, and recalled what happened during the day .
Except for sending himself to prison, what happened during the day made him very happy.That Wei Guogong really had a good temper, he frightened people like the third elder so much that he chopped off his hair crown.It's a pity that it's the crutch, it's made of golden nanmu.
There were rustling sounds outside the door, and several people approached from far to near, and soon came to Li Lizhi's door.He turned his head and found that he was still an acquaintance.
Sunan and Lin Jun stood outside the door, the light was dim, and their expressions could not be seen clearly.Just waiting for the yamen guard to open the cell door, and the two came in, Sunan's voice echoed in the room with a smile: "How, this room is not bad."
This room is the one with the best conditions in the prison, and there are no more than a lot of distinguished prisoners living in it. To a certain extent, it is really flattering.
By the way, who cares about such flattery, Li Lizhi stood up, looked at Sunan with aggrieved eyes, as if accusing him of crimes.Sunan felt a little guilty when he looked at him, and he didn't dare to look directly at him. He glanced aside and said, "Well... now there is an opportunity, do you want to come out?"
Considering that this prison in the capital is run by your family, going in and out is like playing, Li Lizhi's eyes became a little weird.Lin Jun's complexion was uncertain, and he glanced at Sunan hesitantly. With a broken posture, he pulled out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Li Lizhi.
With a "slap", it hit his chest. Li Lizhi didn't know why, so he pulled out the letter to read it. After a while, he raised his head in surprise: "This is..."
Su Nan's brows flashed with depression, and he said immediately: "Then Zhao Ping, call us by name and ask us to go outside the capital alone a day later, and exchange Xueyao back in exchange for Huichunxiang."
This letter was sent by someone in the afternoon, and the sender was given three taels of silver, and it was unknown who sent it.The sender must be Zhao Ping, who asked Sunan and Li Lizhi to exchange things with them.
If Hui Chunxiang and Xueyao were given to Sunan to choose, Xueyao must be the choice.It's just that they can't simply hand over the things, and some of the arrangements are still under discussion.Even Lin Jun couldn't simply let people go.
"But...why do you want me to go?" Li Lizhi didn't understand, if Zhao Ping only wanted to rejuvenate, there was no reason to go with him.Sunan didn't care why he took Li Lizhi with him, but the letter named two people, so he naturally had to go with him.
Tomorrow night, the transaction will be outside the city of Chongming, which is a hundred miles away from the capital. Calculated in this way, the time will not be too much, although some preparations can be made, the time is too tight.
In this way, Li Lizhi was taken away before staying in the special cell for the whole night. He could not go anywhere this night, so he could only stay in the Xia Mansion, rest a little, and leave the capital in the morning for Baili outside Chongming City.
Sunan was in the room, holding his own box of Huichunxiang on the bed, with deep eyes, looking at Huichunxiang in front of him, wondering what was going on in his mind.
The candlelight was flickering, reflecting dim light on the wall, he was sitting on the bed in white underwear, holding the box of rejuvenating incense in his hand.Although Lin Jun swore to him that he would definitely cast a net in Chongming Town, Zhao Ping would never escape.
But in his view, since Zhao Ping dared to do this, he must have expected this link, and he couldn't jump to conclusions about who would win.
The spices in the hands exude a faint fragrance, and the fragrance is like an invisible net, firmly ensnaring people.This thing might not belong to him tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Sunan's heart tightened, his eyes darkened, he took out a small knife, and cut off a piece of spice, not too much, not too little, enough for about two times.
Put the spices in the space, and you can't go wrong with it.
In the early morning of the second day, everyone in Xia's mansion had a sleepless night, and Song Zhu ran from Shiwai Pavilion to see Sunan off.Wearing a blue blue shirt today, the whole person looks a lot thinner, the lines on his face are more obvious, and he looks like an adult.
"Sir, otherwise, I'll go with you." Songzhu was worried. Hearing that this trip was very dangerous, he really couldn't worry about Sunan alone, and wanted to go with him, but Sunan insisted on not allowing him to stay. Go to the ground.
It was rare for Sunan to have a serious and tough attitude. Songzhu rarely saw him like this, and he didn't dare to resist. Although he felt powerless, he still obeyed his words and stayed in the capital.
"Sir, you must be more careful." After Sunan and Li Li got on the carriage and poked their heads out of the window, Sunan said with relief, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Smiling, in the starry eyes Gently, the water overflowed, touched Shochiku's head, put down the curtains, and the group finally set off.
Songzhu's spirit was low, and he walked towards the mansion with a depressed expression. The husband didn't come back, and he was not in the mood to go back to Shiwai Pavilion. He wanted to wait in the mansion for his husband to return.
Half a day passed in a flash, and when Shochiku was about to have lunch with the servants of the Fuchu casually, an unexpected person appeared.
Even though he hadn't seen Su Yang for a few months, he felt that he was much taller all his life. Songzhu was dumbfounded, and didn't expect him to suddenly appear in Xiafu. "Su Yang, why are you here?"
No wonder Songzhu was surprised, but since New Year's Day passed, he never saw Su Yang outside Shiwai Pavilion.I only heard from my husband that Su Yang has his own things to do now. I heard that he left the capital with his master and did what he did, so no one really knows.
Songzhu hadn't seen his old friend for a long time, and he was a little happy, but he was absent-minded and didn't care much about Songzhu's overtures. He just asked, "By the way, do you know where Mr. Su has gone?"
Songzhu didn't regard Su Yang as an outsider, so he told all about it.Su Yang frowned deeply, and listened to the ins and outs of the future.His skin was a bit dark, and the bones on his face were stretched out, making him much handsomer, with the unrestrained and unrestrained appearance of a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and his face was handsome.
"You said that someone injured the guard in the Xia Mansion?" He asked in a hesitant tone, looked at him hesitantly and asked, "Can I go and see the guard you mentioned."
"What did you see him doing? By the way, what did you do when you came back this time? You haven't said anything yet." Shochiku asked suspiciously.
Su Yang just heard Songzhu's story, he became a little anxious, held Songzhu's shoulder, and said: "Songzhu, I don't have time to talk to you now, can you let us meet your family first?" guard."
"Us?" Shochiku asked hesitantly.Su Yang's anxious expression was undisguised, and he nodded: "My master is also with me. Songzhu, this matter is really important, and it concerns Mr. Su."
When he heard that it was related to Sunan, Songzhu didn't hesitate, and immediately said to him: "I'll go find Steward Xia now, you wait here for me."
Su Yang didn't wait for him here, he just returned to the capital today, first he went to Shiwai Pavilion to look for Sunan, but before he found anyone, he came to Xia Mansion.Seeing that Songzhu agreed, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried out of the house to find his master.
But after a while, a group of people surrounded Wang Liang's room, and one of them, an energetic old man, sat beside Wang Liang's bed and took off the gauze on his chest.
His chest was still pitch black, and it hadn't improved at all compared to before. Wang Liang resisted the pain in his chest, and looked at Steward Xia next to him suspiciously. The latter shook his head at him before he felt relieved.
"How? Mr. Xie, did you see anything?" Steward Xia asked with his head down. Xie Hongyi didn't reply immediately, but raised his head with a serious face, and said to him, "You said, this morning, General Xia brought the two of them People, went to Chongming City?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Xie Hongyi looked serious, and said: "I went to the south of the Yangtze River with my disciples to investigate a murder case, and accidentally pulled out another force. Seeing this wound, for some reason, I suddenly thought of someone."
"Who?" Housekeeper Xia asked anxiously. Xie Hongyi had a high position in the Beggar Gang, and he often knew things that they didn't know. He was well-informed.
"It's a long story. I'm afraid Zhao Ping didn't use his real name. He has been famous in Jianghu for a long time. I heard that he is cruel and ruthless. It is really rare to spare the life of your guard. You should send someone to Chongming quickly. Don't let people like Sunan who have no martial arts confront Zhao Ping, otherwise, your life will be lost." Xie Hongyi spoke earnestly and looked sincere.
"This... my general has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so I'm afraid he's not as powerless as Mr. Xie said." Butler Xia was skeptical, but Xie Hongyi smiled wryly: "You don't know this Zhao Ping, if it's really that person , I am afraid that even I am not as good as his martial arts. No matter how strong General Xia is in martial arts, it is difficult to guarantee that he will take two people with him."
Housekeeper Xia was shocked, but Xie Hongyi couldn't sit still here. Everything here was inextricably linked to what he had investigated before. That's why he hurried back from other places, but he didn't expect it to be too late step.
Xie Hongyi made a decisive decision and took Su Yang to Chongming immediately. He could probably guess a thing or two about what Zhao Ping was thinking, and he only hoped that there would be time to go now.
----------
Besides, Sunan, sitting in the carriage, asked with some doubts: "Then where is Chongming?"
Li Lizhi lay in the carriage, closed his eyes and rested his mind: "It is said that before the Southern Dynasty, an emperor dug a canal of [-] miles, which connected the three regions of the north and the south, and ran through the north and the south. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty continued to dig along this canal and widened it. The [-]-kilometer waterway forms a [-]-kilometer canal waterway. Chongming is the closest canal port to the capital."
Sunan recalled the memories in his mind, as if there was such a thing. I heard that this canal is quite famous, and taking the water route can shorten at least half a month's land journey.
Zhao Ping didn't agree on an exact time, but only said that he would trade in Chongming. Sunan guessed that there must be his eyeliner there, and everything can only be discussed when they arrive.
Around the end of the day, a group of them came to Chongming, where the river is the source of the river, the water transportation is developed, and the city is prosperous. Although it is not as grand as the capital city, it also brings a bit of the prosperity of the river hub.
If one looks from the sky, Chongming is close to the river. This Chongming does not seem to be completely built on a plain. It is half plain and half mountain. The torrential river flows long and magnificently.It was the first time for Sunan to come to Chongming. Before that, he wondered why the river was so wide. Only then did he realize that the canal was not dug all the way, and part of it was also a natural river.
This is the case with the Chongming River. This is the most important section of the canal. Because it relies on the capital, it becomes the most important link in the transportation of the capital.
The group of them kept a low profile. In order to deceive others, Lin Jun even removed his beard, dressed plainly, and drove a carriage in front. Only Sunan knew that since they entered Chongming City, their people had scattered in all directions.
Lin Jun frowned faintly. Chongming's terrain was chaotic, full of knights and merchants passing by, and people came and went every day, so it was difficult to find out information.Zhou Ping must have made a plan early, otherwise he would not have chosen this place.
When the three of them came here, they could only find a restaurant to sit down. They couldn't help but anxiously waited for the news, from never until Youshi.At this time, a child stumbled over and bumped into their table.
"What's wrong?" The table shook, looking down, it turned out to be a child about four or five years old, rubbed his aching head, handed Sunan a piece of paper, and then ran away.
"At a quarter of the hour, two people board a boat at Baoyang Wharf."
Sunan and Lin Jun looked at each other, frowning, Sunan thought to himself, this man can really make a fuss, but there is nothing he can do.They could only continue to follow the instructions on the note, and it took the three of them a while to find Baoyang Wharf.It turns out that Baoyang Wharf has been abandoned for a long time.After a lot of tossing, it was already sunset time, the sky was no longer bright, and the sky was gray and blue.The pier is overgrown with weeds, and there are a few simple boats beside the pier.
Sunan looked around, feeling nervous, Li Lizhi glanced around, the river was empty, and he had stepped to the boat by the river.Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he boarded a boat excitedly: "Look, Su Nan, there is something here."
The two immediately surrounded them, and there was a letter on it, strictly asking Sunan and Li Lizhi to drive the small boat to the big boat in the middle of the river, and he would not show up if there were other people by his side.
Looking at the river in the distance, there seems to be a boat parked in the middle of the river, a lonely one, looking a little trembling.
Lin Jun's face was gloomy, this one directly blocked him to death.
Sunan rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, the two of us should go up first."
Lin Jun flatly refused: "No, you don't know martial arts alone, what should you do if Zhao Ping does something to you?"
one person?Li Lizhi was puzzled, and pointed to himself: "Am I not human?"
No one paid attention to him, Lin Jun looked towards the river, the sun was getting darker, and a layer of mist rose from the river, lingering above the river.Seeing the time pass, Sunan made a final decision: "That's it, Li Lizhi and I will go up."
Sunan's attitude was firm, Lin Jun opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Be careful."
He breathed a sigh of relief, and got into the boat with Li Lizhi. The boat was rowed by himself. Sunan had never used it before. It was a bit clumsy to row the boat for the first time. The boat turned around and rowed towards the center of the river.
Li Lizhi seemed a little nervous, holding the side of the boat with both hands, his Adam's apple moved slightly, he could see it, he laughed twice, "I'm afraid of the water."
Li Lizhi's voice faltered for a moment: "Well...I don't know how to swim at all." After a pause, he said: "We won't fall." I heard that the river is very deep, the current is fast and there are whirlpools, did you fall? How long has it been gone.
"Don't worry." Sunan said calmly, "We'll be fine."
The boat wobbled to a boat in the center. The boat was not big, and there was a room on it. The room was dark, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.Sunan gradually approached the Jiangxin ship, the deck was empty, and the inside of the room was even less clear.
Sunan and Li Lizhi looked at each other, although panicked, they finally decided to go up and check.
The deck on the big ship was very stable, and the room was pitch black. Sunan and Li Lizhi boarded the boat. Seeing this scene, although they felt a little guilty, they still bravely walked into the cabin.
With good eyesight, he briefly glanced around the cabin, no one was there, he frowned and exited, and told Li Lizhi what was going on inside, and the two looked at each other.What is this, are they being played?Sunan was helpless, a layer of fog formed on the vast river, making it difficult to see the distant shore clearly.
Sunan and Li Lizhi leaned on the side of the boat, feeling a little drowsy while waiting. From sunset to dark, the whole boat was swaying. At some point, there was an extra person on the bow.
The two immediately realized that Li Lizhi's back was covered in cold sweat, and when he took a closer look, the person wearing a black cloak with a gentle smile on his face, who looked particularly strange at night, was not Zhao Ping, who was it?
Sunan cursed inwardly, this guy is elusive, this ship is docked in the middle of the river, and there is no other boat approaching except their boat, how did this guy come up so silently?
His face turned cold, and he didn't have time to chat nonsense with him: "Where is Xueyao?"
Zhao Ping smiled slightly, his eyes were deep, and he was particularly eye-catching in the dark night: "Where is the thing?" This was the first time he heard Zhao Ping speak, the male voice was a little soft, and it seemed a little erratic when he heard it.
Sunan was in a complicated mood. He glanced at Li Lizhi and saw that his eyes were blank, as if he was thinking about something.He took out the box, put it in his hand, and opened it, so that the person opposite could see what was in his hand.
Zhao Ping's eyes lit up obviously, and he laughed out loud "hehe". The voice was erratic, and the people who heard it inevitably had goosebumps. "Boss Su is really good at it." Zhao Ping slightly hooked his mouth and looked at Sunan.
"I came to look for it myself. I searched for it twice, but I found nothing. Boss Su hid it too deeply." He spoke slowly, as if he and Sunan had been friends for many years, chatting a few words in their free time.
Some fragments quickly flashed through Sunan's mind, and he said suspiciously, "You were the one who attacked me last time?" I remember that time, he was suddenly strangled and almost died on the bed, and then this person escaped without a trace No trace, no clues at all.
"It's me." Zhao Ping admitted with a slight smile: "I came here twice, but I still haven't found it. I really have no other way, so I rashly tied Miss Xia."
"The two times you came, was it your own idea or the elder's idea." Interrupting Zhao Ping's words, Li Lizhi asked with a calm face.
The mahogany crutch of the third elder broke into two sections directly. This was not the worst thing. The tidy hair crown on the third elder's head was cut off and fell to the ground. His white hair was scattered and his shape was a bit funny.
"Bastard...you bastard...you are so brave!!" The third elder was anxious, but he also saw Lin Jun's power, so he didn't dare to speak wild words casually, and he didn't hold back anything for a long time.

Su Yang didn't wait for him here, he just returned to the capital today, first he went to Shiwai Pavilion to look for Sunan, but before he found anyone, he came to Xia Mansion.Seeing that Songzhu agreed, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried out of the house to find his master.
But after a while, a group of people surrounded Wang Liang's room, and one of them, an energetic old man, sat beside Wang Liang's bed and took off the gauze on his chest.
His chest was still pitch black, and it hadn't improved at all compared to before. Wang Liang resisted the pain in his chest, and looked at Steward Xia next to him suspiciously. The latter shook his head at him before he felt relieved.
"How? Mr. Xie, did you see anything?" Steward Xia asked with his head down. Xie Hongyi didn't reply immediately, but raised his head with a serious face, and said to him, "You said, this morning, General Xia brought the two of them People, went to Chongming City?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Xie Hongyi looked serious, and said: "I went to the south of the Yangtze River with my disciples to investigate a murder case, and accidentally pulled out another force. Seeing this wound, for some reason, I suddenly thought of someone."
"Who?" Housekeeper Xia asked anxiously. Xie Hongyi had a high position in the Beggar Gang, and he often knew things that they didn't know. He was well-informed.
"It's a long story. I'm afraid Zhao Ping didn't use his real name. He has been famous in Jianghu for a long time. I heard that he is cruel and ruthless. It is really rare to spare the life of your guard. You should send someone to Chongming quickly. Don't let people like Sunan who have no martial arts confront Zhao Ping, otherwise, your life will be lost." Xie Hongyi spoke earnestly and looked sincere.
"This... my general has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so I'm afraid he's not as powerless as Mr. Xie said." Butler Xia was skeptical, but Xie Hongyi smiled wryly: "You don't know this Zhao Ping, if it's really that person , I am afraid that even I am not as good as his martial arts. No matter how strong General Xia is in martial arts, it is difficult to guarantee that he will take two people with him."
Housekeeper Xia was shocked, but Xie Hongyi couldn't sit still here. Everything here was inextricably linked to what he had investigated before. That's why he hurried back from other places, but he didn't expect it to be too late step.
Xie Hongyi made a decisive decision and took Su Yang to Chongming immediately. He could probably guess a thing or two about what Zhao Ping was thinking, and he only hoped that there would be time to go now.
----------
Besides, Sunan, sitting in the carriage, asked with some doubts: "Then where is Chongming?"
Li Lizhi lay in the carriage, closed his eyes and rested his mind: "It is said that before the Southern Dynasty, an emperor dug a canal of [-] miles, which connected the three regions of the north and the south, and ran through the north and the south. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty continued to dig along this canal and widened it. The [-]-kilometer waterway forms a [-]-kilometer canal waterway. Chongming is the closest canal port to the capital."
Sunan recalled the memories in his mind, as if there was such a thing. I heard that this canal is quite famous, and taking the water route can shorten at least half a month's land journey.
Zhao Ping didn't agree on an exact time, but only said that he would trade in Chongming. Sunan guessed that there must be his eyeliner there, and everything can only be discussed when they arrive.
Around the end of the day, a group of them came to Chongming, where the river is the source of the river, the water transportation is developed, and the city is prosperous. Although it is not as grand as the capital city, it also brings a bit of the prosperity of the river hub.
If one looks from the sky, Chongming is close to the river. This Chongming does not seem to be completely built on a plain. It is half plain and half mountain. The torrential river flows long and magnificently.It was the first time for Sunan to come to Chongming. Before that, he wondered why the river was so wide. Only then did he realize that the canal was not dug all the way, and part of it was also a natural river.
This is the case with the Chongming River. This is the most important section of the canal. Because it relies on the capital, it becomes the most important link in the transportation of the capital.
The group of them kept a low profile. In order to deceive others, Lin Jun even removed his beard, dressed plainly, and drove a carriage in front. Only Sunan knew that since they entered Chongming City, their people had scattered in all directions.
Lin Jun frowned faintly. Chongming's terrain was chaotic, full of knights and merchants passing by, and people came and went every day, so it was difficult to find out information.Zhou Ping must have made a plan early, otherwise he would not have chosen this place.
When the three of them came here, they could only find a restaurant to sit down. They couldn't help but anxiously waited for the news, from never until Youshi.At this time, a child stumbled over and bumped into their table.
"What's wrong?" The table shook, looking down, it turned out to be a child about four or five years old, rubbed his aching head, handed Sunan a piece of paper, and then ran away.
"At a quarter of the hour, two people board a boat at Baoyang Wharf."
Sunan and Lin Jun looked at each other, frowning, Sunan thought to himself, this man can really make a fuss, but there is nothing he can do.They could only continue to follow the instructions on the note, and it took the three of them a while to find Baoyang Wharf.It turns out that Baoyang Wharf has been abandoned for a long time.After a lot of tossing, it was already sunset time, the sky was no longer bright, and the sky was gray and blue.The pier is overgrown with weeds, and there are a few simple boats beside the pier.
Sunan looked around, feeling nervous, Li Lizhi glanced around, the river was empty, and he had stepped to the boat by the river.Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he boarded a boat excitedly: "Look, Su Nan, there is something here."
The two immediately surrounded them, and there was a letter on it, strictly asking Sunan and Li Lizhi to drive the small boat to the big boat in the middle of the river, and he would not show up if there were other people by his side.
Looking at the river in the distance, there seems to be a boat parked in the middle of the river, a lonely one, looking a little trembling.
Lin Jun's face was gloomy, this one directly blocked him to death.
Sunan rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, the two of us should go up first."
Lin Jun flatly refused: "No, you don't know martial arts alone, what should you do if Zhao Ping does something to you?"
one person?Li Lizhi was puzzled, and pointed to himself: "Am I not human?"
No one paid attention to him, Lin Jun looked towards the river, the sun was getting darker, and a layer of mist rose from the river, lingering above the river.Seeing the time pass, Sunan made a final decision: "That's it, Li Lizhi and I will go up."
Sunan's attitude was firm, Lin Jun opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Be careful."
He breathed a sigh of relief, and got into the boat with Li Lizhi. The boat was rowed by himself. Sunan had never used it before. It was a bit clumsy to row the boat for the first time. The boat turned around and rowed towards the center of the river.
Li Lizhi seemed a little nervous, holding the side of the boat with both hands, his Adam's apple moved slightly, he could see it, he laughed twice, "I'm afraid of the water."
Li Lizhi's voice faltered for a moment: "Well...I don't know how to swim at all." After a pause, he said: "We won't fall." I heard that the river is very deep, the current is fast and there are whirlpools, did you fall? How long has it been gone.
"Don't worry." Sunan said calmly, "We'll be fine."
The boat wobbled to a boat in the center. The boat was not big, and there was a room on it. The room was dark, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.Sunan gradually approached the Jiangxin ship, the deck was empty, and the inside of the room was even less clear.
Sunan and Li Lizhi looked at each other, although panicked, they finally decided to go up and check.
The deck on the big ship was very stable, and the room was pitch black. Sunan and Li Lizhi boarded the boat. Seeing this scene, although they felt a little guilty, they still bravely walked into the cabin.
With good eyesight, he briefly glanced around the cabin, no one was there, he frowned and exited, and told Li Lizhi what was going on inside, and the two looked at each other.What is this, are they being played?Sunan was helpless, a layer of fog formed on the vast river, making it difficult to see the distant shore clearly.
Sunan and Li Lizhi leaned on the side of the boat, feeling a little drowsy while waiting. From sunset to dark, the whole boat was swaying. At some point, there was an extra person on the bow.
The two immediately realized that Li Lizhi's back was covered in cold sweat, and when he took a closer look, the person wearing a black cloak with a gentle smile on his face, who looked particularly strange at night, was not Zhao Ping, who was it?
Sunan cursed inwardly, this guy is elusive, this ship is docked in the middle of the river, and there is no other boat approaching except their boat, how did this guy come up so silently?
His face turned cold, and he didn't have time to chat nonsense with him: "Where is Xueyao?"
Zhao Ping smiled slightly, his eyes were deep, and he was particularly eye-catching in the dark night: "Where is the thing?" This was the first time he heard Zhao Ping speak, the male voice was a little soft, and it seemed a little erratic when he heard it.
Sunan was in a complicated mood. He glanced at Li Lizhi and saw that his eyes were blank, as if he was thinking about something.He took out the box, put it in his hand, and opened it, so that the person opposite could see what was in his hand.
Zhao Ping's eyes lit up obviously, and he laughed out loud "hehe". The voice was erratic, and the people who heard it inevitably had goosebumps. "Boss Su is really good at it." Zhao Ping slightly hooked his mouth and looked at Sunan.
"I came to look for it myself. I searched for it twice, but I found nothing. Boss Su hid it too deeply." He spoke slowly, as if he and Sunan had been friends for many years, chatting a few words in their free time.
Some fragments quickly flashed through Sunan's mind, and he said suspiciously, "You were the one who attacked me last time?" I remember that time, he was suddenly strangled and almost died on the bed, and then this person escaped without a trace No trace, no clues at all.
"It's me." Zhao Ping admitted with a slight smile: "I came here twice, but I still haven't found it. I really have no other way, so I rashly tied Miss Xia."
"The two times you came, was it your own idea or the elder's idea." Interrupting Zhao Ping's words, Li Lizhi asked with a calm face.
