When the six brothers of the Feng family and Xuan Yushe were about to commit suicide, Sheng Wei Qiao Fang woke up.
When she opened her eyes and saw the curtain above her head swaying, she thought it was the wind, but then she felt that the place where she was lying was also shaking rhythmically, and she was so frightened that she sat up suddenly - from the side of the couch. Looking out the porthole, there is a vast sea outside!
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned! ! !
She first pinched her arm hard to make sure she was not dreaming, then quickly picked up the neatly folded clothes beside the couch and quickly put them on. Fang looked around in horror: this was a very simple bedroom, except for a couch and a tent. There is nothing except the desk, chair and screen.
There is a set of Four Treasures of the Study on the case. The water stains in the inkstone are not yet dry, and it seems that it has just been used.
Overall, the strangeness of this place frightened her.
... But the bedding on the couch looked very familiar. It seemed to be the same set she used when she was placed in the Dangui Garden - someone must have carried her to this ship with the quilt
Sheng Weiqiao's eyes wandered back and forth between the inkstone and the quilt for a moment, then he looked at the door not far away and twisted his clothes for a while before deciding to go out and see who brought him here. !
But before going out, she quietly hid the short hairpin she had put on her clothes in the palm of her hand.
Although I knew that a hairpin that had never been sharpened would probably be useless when meeting a strong man, but at this moment, having something in my hand was more reassuring.
After some more mental preparation, Sheng Weiqiao took a deep breath and opened the door resolutely!
… There’s nothing outside the door.
It's just a narrow corridor, slightly dark because there are cabins on both sides.
Sheng Weiqiao held his breath and listened carefully for a long time before taking a tentative step.
Every time she passed a door, she would first stick to the door and listen, and then knock carefully.
But all the way there, there was no response from behind the door.
Just when Sheng Weiqiao was getting more confused and scared, she suddenly heard voices.
Although the sound was somewhat distorted due to the heavy ship planks, it still felt slightly familiar.
After following the sound for a while, she saw a staircase going down. Sheng Weiqiao lifted up her dress, tiptoed, and walked down the stairs as silently as possible. The stairs on the ship are extremely narrow to save space, and because they are sandwiched between two cabins, it is dark even in the daytime.
If it were before, Sheng Weiqiao would not have dared to go down, but now she appeared on the boat inexplicably and suddenly heard a familiar voice, so naturally she wanted to see what happened.
Unexpectedly, she moved to the bottom of the stairs little by little, and when she cautiously took a look, she was so frightened that she almost fell out!
-A dozen burly men with their upper bodies naked were kneeling on the ground without even daring to raise their heads.
Slightly in front of them, there were two people who looked like kneeling leaders: on the left side there was a scar that almost ran through the entire cheek, which made his already vicious appearance even more ferocious. At this moment, there are several obvious new holes on the arms and thighs, and they are bleeding. I don’t know why they haven’t been bandaged, but I can’t help but kowtow;
The man on the right is probably the most handsome one among the kneeling people. He looks not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a childish look between his eyebrows. He has no external injuries on his body, only the corners of his mouth, chest, and front of his body. There are blood stains on the ground that have not yet dried up, and his face is very pale. He is looking at the person sitting on the couch not far away with resisting and stubborn eyes!
Sheng Weiqiao glanced in that direction subconsciously, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How could it be you?!"
The man was sixteen or seventeen years old, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. His appearance was beautiful without losing the heroism that a man should have. He wore black clothes and fast boots, and wore a dark cloak. His slightly pale face looked in the slightly dim cabin. It looks like it was carved from lychee jelly jade, but it doesn't have any popularity at all - it is the sleeping crane!
From the moment he entered the Sheng family, he smiled at everyone he met, making him appear very endearing and harmless. So although Sheng Weiqiao hated him, he never thought there was anything scary about him.
But at this moment, Sheng Sleeping Crane suppressed his smile. Although he did not show any ferocious expression, his slightly drooped long eyelashes, indifferent eyes, and tight thin lips all revealed a coldness.
Occasionally, when I look at those people whose foreheads want to touch the deck, they even feel a bit eerie.
Sheng Weiqiao clearly saw that when Sheng Suihe glanced at the handsome young man, his originally stubborn face trembled subconsciously, and there was clear fear in his eyes!
"Sister is awake?" However, before Sheng Weiqiao finished speaking, Sheng Suihe tilted his head slightly. When he looked at her, he instantly regained the lightness and clarity he had in Sheng Mansion. He stood up with a smile, "Come on, let's go up and talk."
As he spoke, he ignored the people kneeling on the ground and walked directly to Sheng Weiqiao, held her arm and walked upstairs.
Sheng Weiqiao was pulled upstairs by him in a daze, almost back to the cabin where she came out, and then she suddenly woke up, shook his hand off hard, and said alertly: "Why are you and I here? Cousin Feng and Xuan Where are Cousin Yu and the others? Where are Brother Xu Shi? What do you want to do?!"
"Do you remember what I told you about my adoption?" Sheng Suihe looked at her suspicious eyes and whispered, "I received news two days ago that my adopted brother was assassinated and was in a very serious situation. It's critical! So I planned to go back to help him, but your father refused to agree to anything and put me under house arrest in the Sheng Mansion and I was not allowed to leave. So I could only take the opportunity to accompany you to Dangui Court to congratulate the eldest son of the Feng family. Let your men try to sneak in and mix incense into the herbs used to smoke the house, so that they can escape at night."
When he said this, he said a little apologetically, "Originally, I only planned to leave alone, but my subordinates took it upon themselves to take you with them - because I was also intoxicated last night, and I didn't find out about it until now. The ship has left the land, and I am in a hurry, but I don’t have time to send you back, so I can only write a pigeon letter to your father and ask him to send a clipper to pick you up!"
"Why did they take me with them?" Sheng Weiqiao asked nervously, "Do they want to take revenge on me for you?!"
"Brother, are you such a narrow-minded person?" Sheng Suihe touched her head lovingly, retracted his hand before she turned her head away in fear, and said with a smile, "Besides, if I really want to take revenge on you, how could I possibly Let me give you my bedroom? It would be better to just throw you into the sea and feed it to the sharks, right?"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's eyes widening for a moment and looking like he was about to cry or not, he was afraid that he was teasing her too much, so he coughed and said seriously, "The reason why they brought you is because they want your father to help my sworn brother. Did you just see it? I was punishing them for this!"
"Why do you keep saying 'your father'?" Sheng Weiqiao pursed her lips for a while and said in surprise, "Aren't you my father's child?!"
"It won't be the case in the future." A trace of regret appeared on Sheng Suihe's face, and he sighed, "Thinking about the Sheng family's huge wealth, I feel really sad... Why don't my sister, seeing that I leave so readily, persuade her later? Will your father give my sworn brother more benefits?"
Sheng Weiqiao ignored his teasing and frowned: "What do you mean I won't be in the future? Are you my father's child?!"
"Sister, do you regret not being nicer to me?" Sheng Suihe said with a smile, "Are you planning to recognize me as your brother?"
"Bah! Who wants to call you brother!" As he expected, Sheng Weiqiao immediately denied it and stopped asking the question. He angrily said, "It's best if you leave! Don't bother me!"
Hearing this, Sheng Suihe's smile did not change and he said: "Oh? Do you hate me so much? I suddenly regretted it - after I finish helping my sworn brother, I must return to the Sheng family to snatch the property from you. Competing for favor, I will report you to my grandfather every day, lock you in the ancestral hall, and make you cry and regret every night because of the green fire!"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's face turn pale with satisfaction, he asked kindly, "Don't say that I don't love you as a brother: come on, tell me again, will you be good or not? Will you be obedient?"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao pursed her lips, then pursed her lips again, and finally couldn't hold back her tears and ran into the cabin and slammed the door, "Why should I listen to you?! You are the most annoying!!!" "
The sleeping crane outside the door smiled, turned to the corner not far away and whispered: "She won't go out in the past two days, let alone ask to see me. But you'd better watch and don't call her She's running around, we're short of manpower, and the ship is so big, no one will know if she accidentally falls into the sea."
The man in the corner bowed silently, his face slightly revealed when he lowered his head. It was the handsome young man who had just knelt in the front row.
Sheng Suihe originally thought that even if the pigeon message was fast, after Sheng Lanci received the news and rushed to the beach as quickly as possible to dispatch ships, it would take at least a day or two to catch up. And he had been left in the Sheng Mansion before. He didn't know much about the situation with his sworn brother, but he urgently needed to use this time to organize his thoughts. He had no time to deal with Sheng Weiqiao, and there was no one else on the ship suitable to coax this young lady. , so he simply scared the girl and told her not to disturb him.
Unexpectedly, that afternoon, a ship actually caught up with him!
Of course, it was not Sheng Lanci who caught up at this time, but Xu Baomo. After receiving the report, Sheng Suihe let out a sigh and said, "I underestimated this Prince Hou. I didn't expect that he was not only aware of our movements." , he actually has the ability to get a boat and chase him without the Sheng family!"
With Xu Baomo's identity, the Sheng family would never let him get involved in danger in person. Now that he appeared at sea in person, it was obvious that he had not informed the Sheng family at all.
"I think he is stupid. Fortunately, he met you this time. If it had been anyone else, he might have come and gone." The person standing behind him said coldly, "His Prince Hou's Identity is not easy to use at sea!"
Sheng Suihe said: "He is here now, just in time to pick him up. We don't have to slow down the journey, we can go at full speed - ask people to signal and let people come up to build a springboard!"
After the flag signal was sent out, Xu Baomo actually led people from the gangplank to the boat here. Sheng Suihe did not show up in person, but had Sheng Weiqiao brought down from upstairs and handed over to him.
After seeing the angry but intact Sheng Weiqiao, Xu Baomo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't hesitate to ask more questions in front of everyone. After a few words of comfort, he motioned for her to go to his boat quickly, and asked again: "Where is my younger brother?"
"He's going back to see his sworn brother!" The one who came out to talk to him was Scarface. Hearing this, he seemed to smile but didn't reply. Sheng Weiqiao, who was walking up the gangplank, heard it and turned around unhappily, "He If he says he won’t return to the Sheng family, who cares about him!”
Xu Baomo was startled when he heard this. He looked at the cabin in confusion and then at Sheng Weiqiao. He hesitated for a while, but did not ask any more questions. He accompanied Sheng Weiqiao back to his ship - watching the gangplank removed, the two ships As he gradually moved away, he asked Sheng Weiqiao in a low voice: "Brother Heng Shu, is everything okay on the boat?"
"What can he do if there are all his men on the ship?" Sheng Weiqiao thought of Sheng Suihe's previous threat and was still a little angry. He said bitterly before remembering to thank Xu Baomo, "Thanks this time Brother Shi, otherwise I would have to wait for a few days before I can come back... By the way, how did Brother Shi catch up?"
Didn't Sheng Suihe say that the whole small building was filled with incense last night
