The water bandits were still eager to move, but when they saw the injury on the ship's boss's face, they didn't dare to make trouble.
The boss of the boat is the best among them, and he was beaten to the point of being powerless, let alone them.
So they could only glance at Xie Linlang secretly while cleaning up the spoils.
Xie Linlang sat very obediently in the corner, her eyes were empty, looking like a delicate and beautiful porcelain doll.
But she is a ghost, and she is listening to them with her ears pricked up.
I just heard the water bandit A say, "This time the harvest is good! I don't know whose boat it is. Look at the corpse in the room. It looks like a high-ranking official. Let's take his things, will it be okay?"
The second water bandit said, "What are you afraid of, we are going to Zeguo soon, all these things can be bought in Zeguo!"
The third water bandit said, "...Speaking of this, why do you think the government suddenly went crazy and started to search and clear the river? Look at their eagerness, as if they were looking for something, but fortunately we ran fast!"
The water bandit Ding said, "What about them! According to me, we should have left long ago! Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the law enforcement has been stricter day by day, we have not been affected by the war, but sooner or later we will fall into his hands!
Still the old emperor! The previous emperors didn't care about us, we can do whatever we want, that's the life of the gods..."
Speaking of strict law enforcement, the water bandit Jia said with some concern.
"If the new emperor is determined to clear the banks of the Changyue River, will it increase the border defense of the waters? Can we still pass it?"
The second water bandit heard the words and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, our Longyue Gang has been safe and sound in Changyuehe for so many years, thanks to the boss who spent money to manage the relationship, with the boss there, the border guards will still give us the oil. face.
Besides, we just ransacked a ship, so give me some more! "
Perhaps it was because Qin Jue had only become an emperor, so Xie Linlang in the chaos did not link the new emperor in their mouths to Qin Jue.
However, she heard that they were hiding from officers and soldiers, that officers and soldiers were clearing the banks of the river, and that they had established a relationship and wanted to smuggle to Zeguo.
There were ripples in Xie Linlang's big eyes, and she continued to maintain a posture, sitting obediently in the corner without moving.
On the other side, Xiaoxi finally found Chang Qifeng's boat.
No wonder he was so late. The Changyue River has many forks and tributaries, and he has no one to use. To find it so quickly is already considered hard work.
Seeing the corpse on the boat, Xiaoxi shuddered, but when he saw Su Tu's corpse, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xie Linlang later told Xiaoxi about Qin Jue's last experiment, and told him that as long as he could find "food" after being demonized, he would be able to stop Kuva's further backlash, and he would restore a certain "sanity" and no longer kill. kill.
Xiaoxi searched again and did not see any traces left by Xie Linlang, so she guessed that she had left.
Before he could continue to look for it, suddenly, the ship was surrounded!

On the way to find Xie Linlang, Qin Jue imagined many possibilities. Even if Xie Linlang had never suffered a loss from the bad guys, he would imagine all kinds of accidents.
For example, the other party has a master who is more powerful than Xie Linlang, for example, the other party has medicine that can suppress her and prevent her from being demonized, for example, the other party has someone she cares about very much, forcing her to submit...
Wait, Linlang went over... Is there anyone you care about
Qin Jue had never thought about this issue before, but because the person who intercepted her this time was someone she knew before, it made him suddenly realize that he didn't know her past outside at all.
Because of the continuous journey, he hardly ate anything except drinking water. The guards around him couldn't help but persuade him.
"Your Majesty, the border has been blocked, and Mr. Xie must still be in the territory. Don't worry, let's eat something first..."
His Majesty turned back halfway. In order to get here as soon as possible, he has not eaten well or rested well these days. If it goes on like this, he can't stand it!
Qin Jue shook his head. Seeing that they were all exhausted, he stopped to let them rest for a while.
And he stood by the Changyue River, thinking about the options the enemy might make.
At this moment, he thought of something, took out Xie Linlang's sack from his arms, and was slightly ecstatic.
This bag was given to her by him before. That time, when he went to see her in the dungeon, he saw her shrinking into a ball, as if she was full of grievances, but no one said anything.
So he gave her a bag of candy and told her that if she is unhappy, don't hold it back, eat a candy when he is not there, tell him when he is there, and let him solve it.
And now, he is not there, her sugar bag is not there, and there is no sweet mouth on her body, she must be unhappy...
Qin Jue thought, took out a candy from the bag, looked at it for a moment, and put it in her mouth.
The white icing was melting, and the more he ate it, the more bitter it became.
He originally thought it was a psychological effect, but he took another one, only to find that there was medicine wrapped under the thick sugar coating
Linlang has been taking medicine
This is Xiaoxi's medicine to regulate Kudu in her body
Don't let him know, because you don't want him to worry
The more Qin Jue thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he had recovered his sense of taste. With the taste, he could vaguely distinguish several medicines.
These herbs are not antidote, but medicines that some eunuchs will take in private.
But eunuchs eat this to regulate internal interest.
Linlang eats it, why
He gradually frowned, and then recruited a subordinate to come over.
"You quickly rush to the nearest pharmacy with this medicine, and ask them to test what the medicine's ingredients are and how effective it is."
"Yes!" The subordinate took the order, took three pills from Qin Jue and went.
Because the medicine has been fused together, and the smell has been deliberately suppressed, it is difficult to taste all the medicinal materials based on the taste alone.
But when you take it to a pharmacy, the pharmacist there can also use other tools to distinguish the ingredients.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't walk away now, Qin Jue could tell the difference himself, but unfortunately, he didn't have the time right now.
Suddenly, someone came over and reported that a suspicious ship had been found. Qin Jue heard the words and rushed over with someone!
*
Seeing that he was surrounded by people, Xiaoxi thought he was the enemy, but when he saw who was riding over from the shore, he almost cried with joy!
But shouldn't Your Majesty be in the capital? Did he turn back halfway? He arrived so quickly, wouldn't he not have slept at all
But anyway, it's really nice to see him at this time! With Qin Jue here, he seems to have found the backbone, and he is not panicking anymore!
After Qin Jue arrived, his men quickly boarded the boat and searched for all suspicious evidence.
