"This summer!" Yang Yue was shocked and shouted sharply.

The neck was as cold as the wind, and this summer, he slowly stretched his hands to his neck, the tentacles were slippery and sticky, and when he looked again, his hands were full of blood...

"Let's go!" Sha Xiuzhu roared at the masked man, his face was hideous, he violently opened Yang Yue, rushed over and hugged Lu Yi's legs. Seeing that the masked man was still hesitating, he shouted again: "Come on! Don't make me feel sorry for the old man!"

Seemingly finally made up his mind, the masked man threw the nine-section whip at Lu Yi, and said fiercely, "I will come back to take your dog's life!" Before he finished speaking, he had already jumped into the river.

Lu Yi was about to step forward, but Sha Xiuzhu hugged his legs tightly, dragging him so hard that he could only hear the sound of water splashing in the river.

"This summer this summer... this summer..." Yang Yue had rushed to Jin Xia nervously. Seeing the blood on her neck, he was so flustered that he couldn't say anything, "You, you... What do you think?"

The injury was on the neck. This summer, I couldn't see it at all. I could only touch it with my hands. Now I'm starting to feel the pain. I grinned at Yang Yue and said, "I don't know, is it about to die?"

Lu Yi couldn't lift his legs, and seeing that his robe was stained with blood by Sha Xiuzhu, he raised his voice to Yang Yue and said, "Come here, drag him back and lock him up... She has only a skin injury, so why make a fuss."

At this time, how could Yang Yue listen to his orders again and angrily said to Lu Yi, "You almost killed her!"

Lu Yi said coldly: "One, she was suddenly pushed by Sha Xiuzhu and blocked the whip for the thief; two, I had withdrawn my internal force at that time, and her injury would not be worse than being pushed by a branch. Thirdly, Sha Xiuzhu is a wounded person, with her ability, she should be able to escape even if she is held hostage by him, why did she not escape?"

Yang Yue was stunned by Lu Yi's words...

"If I thought she was an accomplice of the thief, it would not be an exaggeration to kill her," Lu Yi's tone was obviously bad. "She only suffers this small injury right now, and I am merciful."

After staying for a moment this summer, I couldn't help but ask, "You... Didn't you already say that I was a group with them?"

Lu Yi looked at him like an idiot. After a while, he said impatiently to Yang Yue, "Don't drag him back and lock him up!"

This time, Yang Yue didn't dare to disobey any more, and stepped forward to hold Sha Xiuzhu. Seeing that the masked man had escaped, Sha Xiuzhu felt relieved for the most part. The wound on his leg was cracked, and the blood almost soaked the entire leg. He was unable to resist any longer, and let Yang Yue drag him away.

Dusting off his robes in disgust, Lu Yi raised his legs and walked back to the cabin.

Jin Xia, who was on the side, finally wanted to understand something, and suddenly realized that he was furious and said, "You said that at the time, just to justifiably ignore my life and death!"

Lu Yi stopped, turned his head slightly, and said lightly, "It's all an official family. It's too plain to say, it's not good."

"You..." This summer was so angry that the wound on his neck hurt, and he hurriedly covered it with his hands.

There was a faint pain in his chest. Knowing that it was due to the rapid withdrawal of his inner strength, Lu Yi endured the pain and glanced at her sideways: "… If something is not enough, there is more than enough failure." Go back to the cabin.

There was only this summer left on the deck, with his neck crooked and his wounds covered, his stomach full of fuss, his teeth itch with hatred.

The next day, the station boat still went all the way south. The sun fell on the deck, and the boatman, holding a large brush, knelt and scrubbed the blood on the deck with great effort.

This summer's small cabin was filled with a strong sweet smell, completely replacing the original musty smell.

On the small table, inside the thick dish, the slender, long, crystal-clear shreds of sugar wrapped the pieces of potato that were deep-fried to golden brown, which made people feel joy in their hearts. This summer, my heart is full of joy, one chopstick is one, my mouth is full, and I am happy to eat.

"...I want to eat this for dinner... I've agreed... "

She said to Yang Yue inarticulately.

Yang Yue looked at her with his head supported, and said helplessly, "I haven't finished this meal yet, so you are thinking about the next meal?"

"It means that you are good at cooking, and the young master appreciates it." She took another piece, looked at the shiny gold silk with admiration, and then took a bite, filling her mouth with sweetness.

While eating, someone knocked on the door.

Yang Yue got up and opened the door, respectfully saying, "Dad."

Seeing Yang Chengwan this summer, he also hurriedly stood up, but he was reluctant to put down his chopsticks, and called out, "Boss... Have you eaten yet? Do you want to try the taro that Dayang made?"

Yang Chengwan waved his hand, sat down, and sighed helplessly, obviously he had something to say. This summer, there is still a piece of potato poked on the chopsticks. Seeing this, I don’t want to eat it or not. There were not enough stools in the cabin, so Yang Yue had to stand.

"How is the wound?" Yang Chengwan asked her.

"It's alright, I've already started to shut up." This summer hurriedly said, "But this Lu Yi is really abominable, and it's clear that he's going to give us a slap in the face."

Yang Chengwan stared at her, frowned and said, "...In that case, you should restrain yourself."

"Boss, why are you still helping him talk?" Jin Xia refused to accept and bit off the potato on the chopsticks.

Yang Yue refused to accept it: "Dad, you didn't see what happened last night. When he saw this summer fall, he didn't mean to stop at all."

"Don't know what's wrong, if he is intentional, can he still save his life this summer, that is to scare you. According to what you said, if he immediately withdraws his internal strength, he is very vulnerable to internal injuries. Today I will tell you two first, yes Master Lu must be respectful, no matter how the case is investigated, etiquette is indispensable, remember?"

Seeing Yang Chengwan like this, this summer and Yang Yue didn't dare to say anything, so they nodded.

"Where did the masked man come from last night, can you see it?" Yang Chengwan then asked.

This summer, while chewing, he recalled: "He is about seven feet two inches in height; although he speaks Mandarin, he can tell he has a Jiangnan accent; the material of the black robe is ice silk. He also told Sha Xiuzhu that if he got into the water, Lu Yi would not be able to hold him even with eight arms, which shows that this person has excellent water skills."

After listening, Yang Chengwan was silent in thought.

"Dad, who would he be?" Yang Yue asked in a low voice. There are many sects in Jianghu. He really couldn't think of who would be friends with Sha Xiuzhuyi's brother.

Yang Cheng was speechless, thinking about something.

This summer I thought: "Sha Xiuzhu is General Zeng's subordinate. Maybe this masked man has something to do with General Zeng. Judging from his age, he is only in his early twenties, so most of his parents have a relationship with General Zeng."

Yang Chengwan remained silent.

"General Zeng was killed by Qiu Luan? Could it be that Qiu Luan had a grudge against General Zeng back then?" Yang Yue asked.

Yang Chengwan shook his head: "No, Qiu Luan's move was instructed by Yan Song."

"General Zeng offended Yan Song?" asked this summer curiously.

"No, Yan Song has no grievances with Zeng Xian, and the person he really wants to harm is not Zeng Xian."

"But he obviously killed Zeng Xian." This summer, he was confused, and he became more and more confused: "Boss, you have confused us, who is he trying to harm?"

"Xia Yan."

Yang Yue knew this person: "He was the first assistant before Yan Song."

"You should know what crime it is for a side general to befriend a close official." Yang Chengwan said slowly, "Qiu Luan Zhezi sued that Zeng Xian befriended his first assistant Xia Yan."

This summer and Yang Yue were silent, they naturally knew. It is one of the most taboo things for the sage to make friends with close officials, because it means conspiracy, and it is suspected of committing chaos. If you are charged with such a crime, you can only say that you will die.

Xia Yan, courtesy name Gongjin, was born in Guixi, Jiangxi, and was a jinshi in the 12th year of Zhengde. In the seventh year of Jiajing's reign, he adjusted the official department and was appreciated by Emperor Sejong. In the tenth year of Jiajing, he served as the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. In the fifteenth year of Jiajing's reign, he was promoted to the Grand Fellowship of Wu Yingdian and joined the aircraft department, and soon served as the first assistant. In the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, he was framed as a border general and abandoned the city. His wife, Su Liu, from Guangxi, followed his son, Kecheng, the principal, and Sun Shangbao, Cheng Chaoqing. Yan died at the age of sixty or seven.

The words are from a slightly cold, heroic and talented person, and he can refute and argue, and no one can give in. Although he is in the sea of an officialdom, he still cares about the world, and has a mind for the people, but he is finally harmed by Yan Song.

Words of death will bring disaster to the world.
