At that time, Xiao Ting was not disturbed or irritated by anyone, and she didn't want to accompany anyone or think about anyone. She was happy and worry-free.
She came to this time and space for the first time, and she was content with the beginning. She never thought that she would encounter so many things later, and she would never be able to stay out of the world as she thought.
It's finally a player in the game!
But, unexpectedly, in the dead of night, she thought of him.
That man who deserves to be a peerless man but is indifferent and ruthless.
Chu Li!
And at this moment, the name sounded in her ears.
She waved her sleeves, calmed down, and listened intently, only intermittent words came into her ears.
After entering the polluted river, there are more big ships, as Yuchi Xinhan said, the troops from all over the country have not moved, Cao Kou goes first, but it happened earlier than the imperial city, and no one cares about it.
Going down in the dark night, drifting here, the river is wide, and at this time there are already three big boats walking with them.
At this moment, she was leaning against the window, and heard someone talking about the name of the Ninth Prince.
Xiao Ting regained her spirits immediately, and listened attentively, "Jiangnan Wang, Li Chao, Ninth Prince..." Nothing else.
Presumably that person must have been too eager just now, and his voice was a little louder, so the sound came out across the river.
She went out immediately, called Ah Da, and asked about the identity of the person on the boat next to her, but Xiao Ting was shocked by the news she got.
Prince Rui's Mansion.
Ah Da just glanced at it and was sure, seeing Xiao Ting's puzzled face, he explained, "It's a foregone conclusion that the Empress supports the First Prince, and Prince Rui's private affairs must be a pretext for the emperor's errand."
The King of Fan is not allowed to leave the fief at will, this is the rule, it is only because of the turmoil in the current court that such things will happen.
"The prince's name was mentioned in their words just now, you should try to find out."
For A Da's explanation, Xiao Ting instantly understood, but she just told him what she knew, and there was no waste in the people around Ninth Prince.
He's so miraculous, much better than her real master.
Furthermore, she is really not suitable for thinking things.
In the end, a quarter of an hour later, Ah Da came back and said, "Princess, there are experts all over there, and none of the three of them returned."
"So?" Xiao Ting was speechless, did he come to ask her what she meant
Sure enough, Ah Da really thought so, "Why don't you go there yourself."
His identity cannot be seen, his responsibility is to protect Xiao Ting's safety, but now the general manpower can't get close to that ship, Ada can only risk himself.
In this way, if Xiao Ting has something to do, the loss outweighs the gain.
Xiao Ting raised her eyebrows, the river breeze was blowing with a puff of moisture.
The wind lamp on the opposite side was flickering, the windows were closed tightly, and nothing could be seen.
Xiao Ting thought for a while, then asked: "Are you sure you can get out of your body?"
"The princess doesn't have to worry about her subordinates, even if her subordinates die, they won't hurt the princess."
"Hehe..." Xiao Ting stared, "I hear what you mean, it's to give away the head!"
"Ah?" What the hell is this
"Ah what, idiot, there's no need to go." The left and right just mentioned Chu Li, but they couldn't do anything to him. What was she afraid of
To worry is to worry about these people.
If they really match up, she should be worried about these people.
That pervert!
Ah Da retreated in a daze, well, he couldn't understand what the princess was saying at all.
But it is indeed very unusual for the ship of Prince Rui's Mansion to appear here, so it should be reported to Wang Ye as soon as possible.
Here, before they could go ashore to spread the news, something happened on the river.
Yes, they met water pirates.
They came without recruitment and at an extremely fast speed. When someone found out, a ship had already disintegrated, and everyone on board was killed. The method was very cruel. From a long distance, one could see the soaring flames and the innocent people who fell into the water from time to time.
Their boat was full of people who had been recruited temporarily, and they were so frightened and panicked for a moment that they dared to hide together and cry.
At this time, it was too late to release the boat to escape.
Those water thieves were traveling by boat, they were very fast, they directly bypassed the front, fortunately they were directly targeting the boat of Prince Rui's Mansion.
I think it's because the ship looks amazing, and the people on it are very calm, but at this juncture, no one came out.
The leading thief stood at the bow of the boat and shouted upwards, "Everyone on the boat listen up, men only rob money, take out all valuable things and put them beside you, don't move around at will, otherwise you will throw them into the river and feed them to bastards."
The boat of Prince Rui's Mansion finally made some movement, and a soft and charming woman stepped out of it.
Its posture is like a willow, holding a lantern, and when it comes up, it scolds, saying: "But you are blind, dare to snatch the king's boat?"
"What kind of ship is the king's ship? I haven't heard of it before. Oh, you little lady looks quite iconic. You are so strong, but you want to go back and wander with the men?"
The woman got angry, threw the wind lamp, and started to fight directly, but she still lost her temper.
"That's how it started."
Xiao Ting was speechless, looking at the merchants on her ship who had already prepared their money, she mourned again.
This time, not only wealth was robbed, but even life was robbed.
"Princess, you go in first." Ada immediately stepped forward and stood in front of her.
Xiao Ting slapped him, and said, "What are you doing? I'm afraid that others won't know that this girl is a noble girl, you idiot?"
The two ships were not far apart, and the anger quickly spread.
Of course Xiao Ting didn't just run away, but also joined in, advancing and retreating with these people.
Fortunately, on the boat of Prince Rui's Mansion, the masters were like a cloud, and they dispatched a large number of water thieves. There were only a few fish that slipped through the net on their side, and they were also dealt with by Ah Da Ah Er and Xiao Ting.
Or maybe it was because the resistance over there was too fierce, and the group of water thieves from behind also rushed up, completely ignoring Xiao Ting and the others, a small trash fish, outflanking and boarding the boat of Prince Rui's residence.
"Go sail."
At this time, fire and smoke were everywhere on the river, without any scruples, Xiao Ting asked Ah Er to go down and give orders to leave here quickly.
Not long after, the two sides pulled apart, and those water thieves did not catch up as Xiao Ting guessed.
At that time, everyone on board breathed a sigh of relief. They turned off all the lights on the boat and gradually merged into the darkness.
It was a escape.
Ah Da and Ah Er were by Xiao Ting's side, looking back, the place was already in chaos.
"Be careful, princess, someone is chasing you."
Xiao Ting naturally also saw it. At some point, a small boat came behind them, and there were several figures shaking on it.
Soon caught up.
As they got closer, Xiao Ting could see clearly that there were five people sitting on it, four of them were punting, and a man in black was sitting in the middle, with black hair draped over his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
It looked like he was protecting the man in black.
"You guys, don't make a sound, or you will die, back off."
Obviously, they were getting closer, and the people on the boat also spotted them, but they still warned them in a low voice, not wanting to disturb the other side.
Ah Da and Ah Er looked at Xiao Ting at the same time.
Xiao Ting took a few steps back and moved away from the edge of the boat, two of them climbed up and were pulling the man in the middle.
Xiao Ting looked over curiously, and at this moment, the ink hair on the man's face parted, revealing a familiar face.
And he was weak all over, as if he had been injured.
Xiao Ting rolled her eyes, and without saying hello to Ah Da Ah Er, she pushed her hands forward, and the two men were pushed down.
Of course, the man in black also fell, the boat became unbalanced, and the other two fell into the water along with it.
Ah Da and Ah Er watched helplessly, the river surface was calm one second, and the next second because of the actions of their princess, the river was turned upside down in an instant.
The boat in front of him was overturned, so everyone fell into the water.
But what can they do, they can only go down to save people.
If something happened to the princess, they didn't even have time to think, they turned over and jumped down.
There was a splash under the water, the four men didn't expect such a thing to happen, and they climbed up in a hurry.
At the moment, he also paid attention to the man in black.
Xiao Ting showed her head not far away, Ah Da and Ah Er immediately swam there.
"Princess." Ah Da only called out once, and Xiao Ting silenced him, "Get rid of the four of them."
"Then this person?"
Xiao Ting was still holding one in her hand, and it didn't seem too much effort.
"This is the son of King Jiangnan, idiot."
Ah Damo... , he hasn't been an idiot for many years!
Ah Er only followed A Da, thinking that his brother was really stupid. Since the princess first entered the mansion, he almost ruined their reputation (although they didn't have such a thing), and after he took down the little master, he felt that the princess must be the boss of the palace in the future.
However, this brother of his doesn't wink, and keeps leaning forward over and over again. If he doesn't scold you, who will he scold
Forget it, anyway, if a dead fellow Taoist doesn't die a poor daoist, it's more reliable for him to be dumb obediently.
A quarter of an hour later, when the dust settled, Mother Feng was feeding water to the man in black. He was still awake and had many injuries on his body.
Things are not going well.
This is the result Ada concluded.
"Princess, you say he is the son of King Jiangnan?"
After Feng's mother went out, Ah Da still couldn't help asking a lot.
The Jiangnan King's fief is hundreds of miles away, so it's not surprising to appear here, but it's a bit intriguing to be on the boat of Prince Rui's residence.
"That's right, it's the Fifth Young Master. He is very good-looking and easy to remember." Xiao Ting returned to him when she had time.
They had dealt with each other in the imperial city back then.
Xiao Ting still has an impression of this face, and it is a good impression.
"Then why are the Fifth Young Masters on Prince Rui's boat? Those four people seem to be protecting him." Ah Er also couldn't help but interjected, there was one more thing he didn't say.
Moreover, his princess also asked them to end the four of them.
Xiao Ting glared at him angrily, "Ask me, I'll ask who, but you are also blind, the fifth son was seriously injured, if those four were protecting him, how could they be indifferent to his injury, what kind of serious injury is this?"
Ah Er didn't dare to reply, but said in his heart: Could it be the injury he got just now
Forget it, people were killed by them anyway, so it's useless to say more.
Besides, he is really cheap, just now he thought Ah Da was stupid, but now he has become stupid too.
There are only some common medicines on board, which cannot cure Wu Gongzi's injury.
When it was daylight, they arrived at a pier, Xiao Ting ordered repairs, and asked them to carry the fifth son to heal.
This is a small county, and the doctors are not very skilled, so they frowned when they saw the injury.
When asked why, Xiao Ting only said that she met a water thief.
The doctor glanced at her, and muttered: "The water thief's method is getting more and more sophisticated now, and they even use poison."
