Aggrieved Fish Sprite

The author has something to say: due to the stoppage for half a month, I will give you an overview of the previous plot.

----

Meng Qi and Mo Li met Ayan Puka, the leader of Xiliang forces, and then crossed the river to go to Feihe Mountain.

The two stayed at the hotel in the middle of the night and encountered a masked man who was about to set fire to it. The masked man was a naval scout from the Qi Dynasty. He found someone (traveler Huang Liu) crossing the river with a map of the navy's defenses, so he tried to recover and kill the person who had seen the map. .The proprietress of the inn and the staff are not ordinary people, a group of people fought, Huang Liu said that the person who instigated him to steal the picture was the former imperial teacher.

Because Huang Liu didn't know Meng Qi, the lie was exposed, and he changed his mouth to say that he didn't know who the master messenger was for the money, but only knew that those people knew martial arts.

Everyone didn't believe it, and they were going to sit in the inn and wait for the mastermind behind the scenes. The proprietress was dissatisfied.

There was a faint smile in Meng Qi's eyes, he stroked his beard, and looked like an expert who saw through the world.

Ink Carp: "..."

Getting old is getting old, it is impossible for him to be as contented as Meng Qi.

For example, when you stroke your beard, it feels weird.

Mo Li is just imitating Mr. Qin, his "heart" has never really aged, so he is naturally not used to such an appearance, Zhushan County is too small, everyone knows that he is a disciple of Qin Shenyi, and his medical skills are not bad. "Older" has no chance of gaining the trust of others to practice medicine.

The original shape of the black scale fish is similar to carp in appearance, and it has whiskers.

The dragon also has two long beards. The ink carp thought it was a fish from a "child" and thought it was pretty, and didn't connect "beards" with "oldness" at all.

And the habit of having whiskers doesn't mean that you are used to touching with your hands. Has the fish grown hands? !

The dragon has grown, but the dragon's claws are on the abdomen, so you can't touch the chin if you lift it up to the sky, okay?

...Wait, think about it this way, gerbils and dragons actually have subtle similarities.

Short claws!

The ink carp recalled the soft gerbil's short claws, which seemed to be only enough to stuff food into its mouth, maybe, maybe, maybe it could touch the beard, anyway, it would never be able to touch the nose up.Thinking of Mo Li in this way, he felt relieved. After all, Taijing Longmai could touch his beard before he lost his human form. What makes perfect!

Meng Qi never imagined that what Mo Li was thinking about was these things. Seeing Mo Li's tangled eyes turned into relief, he thought that his magnanimity, magnificence and ease had won over his sweetheart.

The national teacher is complacent.

Everything is planned by him, otherwise why bother to persuade the doctor to grow old together?

It is the 87-year-old kind who must let Mo Li meet the "real Meng Guoshi".

Eight, ten, seven, years old!

Just listening to it makes one's scalp tingle, coupled with all kinds of weird rumors, especially these rumors existed in the Chu Dynasty.

For example, Emperor Chu and Yuan abolished Jinyiwei on the surface, and secretly may have raised a group of dead soldiers and spies who served him. The national teacher who seems to have no desires, no desires, and power is the leader of this spies.More people don't think so. They think Master Meng knows everything because he is proficient in the art of controlling ghosts. He has kept many ghosts by his side and can kill people invisible. , it is also possible to be heard by ghosts and report back to the national teacher.

The more rumors became more and more outrageous, and later he directly said that Meng Qi was a ghost and not a human being. Every night when the moon was full, he would eat people's hearts/drink virgin blood/digging out living people's livers... so much so that Baoguo Temple, the most prosperous temple in Taijing, was terrified. Officials broke through the threshold.

Especially after the imperial court investigated corruption in the Ministry of Officials and frightened a small official into fainting with his eyes, the rumors became more and more demonized.

Meng Qi thought that age was already a problem, and when he returned to Zhushan County, he would meet Xue Ting, the county magistrate who might have heard all the rumors, how embarrassing the scene would be.

No, before that, let the doctor know what the "real Meng Guoshi" looks like.

Meng Qi thought that the strategy was successful and the big problem was solved, so he became more patient with the group of masked people who were about to murder and set fire. He greeted Doctor Mo who was walking back slowly, and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, and I have to worry about it." It really shouldn't be done."

Mo Li: "..." In the past, Meng Qi said that calling the watch is too common, just like ordinary people, but now it is more fluent than anyone else.

Have you changed your mind as you get older?

Or is the national teacher completely addicted?

What do gerbils like to play?

I can only play along!

"Brother Qixing, you are being polite." Mo Li flicked his sleeves, pretending not to care.

The leader of the scout battalion stared at Mo Li, as if he wanted to remember his appearance completely, and asked hypocritically, "I don't know where this old gentleman is from, and what is his name?"

"There is no guest in the wild mountain, and Yan Huang is an idler. I don't care about world affairs. This time I have a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains with my friends. If you want to address me, you can call me Huang Juke." Mo Li opened his mouth and came. All come in sets.

Meng Qi was slightly surprised, he didn't know this.

After thinking about it again, Huang means a piece of bamboo, so it can be just right for Zhushan County.

The leader of the scout battalion never thought of Mo Li telling the truth, but the other party acted like a celebrity, so he couldn't help but want to test it out.

Scholars value fame more than the sky, and there are so many names. Maybe the other party casually said something that is not commonly used. When he returns to the area under the jurisdiction of the Qi Dynasty, he can find some clues!

In the face of Meng Guoshi and his friends who can't be offended at all, and the aggressive shopkeeper's wife and guys, the leader of the masked man feels that today is a bad day.Sure enough, there is no good thing if there is a dog eating day!

The person who colluded with Huang Liu was not caught, and the defense map was not taken back.

You can't use force, you can only continue to circle around.

So under the watchful eyes of everyone, the leader of the scout battalion had no choice but to draw out a bank note: "This is the money for smashing things and continuing to disturb the store."

Before he was placed on the table, Mrs. Tao reached out her hand to stop him, and said tauntingly, "We can't accept bank notes for small businesses. If you give me a bank note that can only be exchanged in the north of the river, I have to find a way to deal with it." customers change."

The leader of the scout battalion had bruised veins on the back of his hand, and he could only suppress his anger and said in a deep voice: "Look clearly! This is a bank note issued by the Ford Bank. The Ford Bank is the largest bank in Jingzhou, and it is the bank to the south of you!"

"Hey! 50 taels, enough to buy my small shop three times." Mrs. Tao cast her eyes on the bank note, and immediately smiled, as if she was interested in money.

The leader of the scout battalion covered his face, so he couldn't see his expression, but his eyes were clearly filled with contempt, and he threw the bank note directly.

As a result, Mrs. Tao remained motionless, with the excited and flattering smile on her face.

——It just looks extraordinarily fake at the moment.

"you!"

The leader found out that Mrs. Tao was playing tricks on him.

Grasshoppers like this should be shot to death by random arrows!And this is on the other side of the river, even if they kill someone and leave, it won't cause them any trouble, but today is unlucky, the subordinate who went to set fire disappeared inexplicably, and was trapped in this dilapidated inn.

The leader of the scouts glanced at Mo Li and Meng Qi secretly, suppressed his anger, and asked unhappily, "What do you mean by this lady?"

"Look at what you said, what is the meaning of the slave family?"

Lady Tao picked up the long dust tail on the table, waved it like a fly catcher, and said casually, "This small inn, with such a large area and so many rooms, is worth a lot, but after a long time It’s in disrepair, cold in winter and cold in summer, and there’s not a lot of people for many years. It’s too much for others to sell for three taels of silver. Even if these tables, chairs and benches are sold as firewood, the cost of transporting them out is more expensive than firewood.”

"What are you rambling about?" A masked man next to the leader shouted impatiently.

Mrs. Tao's beautiful eyes turned around, and she said with a smile: "I tell you all, my family doesn't love money, otherwise I would have left long ago, why bother to stay in such a small place."

Everyone: "..."

That's not good. It's possible that he was willing to squat in the wilderness shop to avoid his enemies.

The leader of the scouts thought that Mrs. Tao thought she was short of money. He glanced around, and immediately pointed to Huang Liu who was lying on the ground, and said, "As long as the person who instigated this guy behind his back is caught, all the money on his body will be given to the store lady."

Huang Liu trembled, but didn't dare to look up.

Lady Tao was amused, and she sneered and said, "Send me the scattered silver? Who is Huang Liu, I know better than you. If he really got a hundred taels of silver from the mastermind behind the scenes, he would never go across the river." I would carry it with me, but just dig a hole and hide it in a hole. It’s better that no one can find it after it rots. In this way, if the other party kills him after the matter is done, the money will not be recovered from him. Tickets, this is called dying for money, even if you die as a ghost, you have to bring a sum of money to hell."

Huang Liu's face turned blue when he was squeezed out.

There was a smile in Meng Qi's eyes, as if he was watching a good show.

Mo Li felt that Mrs. Tao seemed to have something to say.

Sure enough, her next sentence was full of sarcasm: "Furthermore, if those people are smart and stingy enough, they will play tricks on the bank notes like you. Although the bank notes will be destroyed when the bank notes are redeemed, but if Someone has the means to get some banknotes that have been redeemed. There are numbers on the banknotes, and those that have been crossed out cannot be redeemed. If someone takes such banknotes to the bank, will they not be arrested by the police? I am not stupid. Huang Liu is not stupid when it comes to money, who would be fooled?"

Huang Liu's eyes wandered. What he really wanted was silver ingots, not bank notes.

16 taels a catty, 100 taels of silver is obvious in your arms, how can you cross the river?

Besides, the matter was not finished, and the other party refused to give him all the money, only half of it.Now that the Dong Chuang incident has been revealed, the remaining half is not wanted. Whether Huang Liu can save his life is a problem. Instead of getting money from Huang Liu, it is better to catch the messenger behind the scenes and search him!

The leader of the scouts frowned, and said directly: "Then wait a few days and catch the people, and give the money they traded to the shopkeeper."

Now Mrs. Tao didn't even bother to say sarcastic words, she just sneered.

——I didn't even figure out who the mastermind behind the scenes was or where he was. It would be strange if Mrs. Tao would be fooled by such an empty promise.

The masked man made a slight commotion, pressing the handle of the knife and wanting to strike again, until their leader snorted angrily, and then suppressed everyone.

The leader of the scouts had a headache for Mrs. Tao who refused to eat oil and salt. He suppressed his anger and asked, "What exactly does the shop lady want?"

"I want you to get out, so as not to dirty my land."

"presumptuous!"

This group of masked people was furious, but it was just a woman who opened a wild shop, who dared to be so arrogant.

"Our commander talked nicely and even gave out money, but you refused to listen. Could it be that he and Huang Liu are in the same group?"

"That's right, I think you guys are in collusion! Everyone deserves to be killed!"

"There is no one else who needs a naval defense plan, but King Jing, the Chu army on the south bank, do you still need to check?"

Lady Tao was still able to hold on, but the man was so angry that he clenched his fists.

There was a commotion in the inn, and a fight was about to start.

"Okay." The leader of the scouts stopped, glanced at the crowd, and said meaningfully, "I believe that the store lady has nothing to do with Huang Liu and his group of people who stole the defense map, but if they get involved too deeply, this matter will be destroyed." It’s hard to say. You people in the rivers and lakes are doing things in the rivers and lakes, and you should seldom touch official affairs. I say this for the sake of you, the lady of the store. The lady opens an inn here, no matter how small the business is, it is business. When you get up, who is the one who suffers? I am afraid that the peaceful days will be gone forever, and it will be too late to regret."

Ink carp frowned slightly.

Just now, he tried his best to charge the charges, as if he wanted to find a reason to do it, but now there is a faint sense of rejection in his words, implying that once Meng Qi's identity as the national teacher of the Chu Dynasty gets involved in this matter, the situation will slip out of control .

Mrs. Tao picked up a chair and handed it to the waiter, and said loudly: "You are trying to fool my old lady with sweet words, today you are full of hypocrisy, you ask for money, and you don't want money for good words. In fact, it's not because of these two. On the surface, do you think that the old lady doesn’t know, and you turn your back on her and burn down the old lady’s house when she leaves? Xiaohezi!”

"Have!"

The clerk took the chair with a stern look on his face.

"It's always been a thousand days to be a thief. There is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. If one escapes today, tomorrow we will be decapitated and buried in the sea of ​​fire! Do it!"

The leader of the scouts was shocked and angry, but Mrs. Tao took the lead.

Hidden weapons are already hard to defend against, but with the addition of a big man who has practiced iron cloth shirt invulnerability like a humanoid weapon, it is difficult to fight anyone who breaks his bones when he hits him, or breaks his hand when he catches him.

So there was another ping-pong-pong fight in the inn.

Meng Qi picked up an undamaged table and sat down in the midst of the commotion. He also took the pot and two clean cups from the counter, pouring water and beckoning Mo Li to sit down.

Mo Li carried Huang Liu, who was trying to escape again, to the table, flicked his robe sleeves to block the hidden weapon rebounded by the blade, and took the cup from Meng Qi with a leisurely expression.

"Water is good water, but unfortunately there is no good tea."

"Brother Qixing, why should you be sorry? Feihe Mountain in Miyang has been famous since ancient times, and Zhaoxi Yunwu Tea is even more famous. I will invite Brother Qixing to drink it." Mo Li blinked and deliberately used a wrong word. Tea should be said Tasting, wine is free drinking.

Drinking tea like wine is a cow's drink, and it's the worst.

The main reason is that Zhaoxi Yunwu tea has a reputation of being bitter, Mo Li heard from Mr. Qin.So even though Meng Qi never showed any dislike for Zhaoxi Yunwu Tea, and even pretended to appreciate it in front of Ayan Puka, Mo Li could still see through Meng Qi's disguise.

A gerbil who is afraid of drinking bitter medicine, but loves Zhaoxi Yunwu tea?ha!

Fearing that he was wronged and wronged, he hugged the cup, and then poured it down in one gulp.

It's also a drink.

"...It's suitable, you know my heart."

The corner of Meng Qi's mouth twitched, and without looking back, he slapped away a masked man who was thrown flying by the staff with his inner strength.

In the entire inn, only the table they were sitting on and the vicinity of the table were safe and sound.

Huang Liu watched the sword come and go, trembling like chaff.

"Why did Meng Guoshi stand by and watch?" The scout leader avoided the hidden weapon and said through gritted teeth, "There are thieves who framed the Guoshi for stealing the navy's defense plan. Once the Guoshi crossed the river and set foot in Jingzhou, this kind of trouble broke out. It is not good for the Guoshi to spread it. , if we can catch the mastermind behind the scenes..."

While talking, a hidden weapon almost hit his forehead, and after narrowly dodging, the leader of the scout scolded Mrs. Tao, "Damn mad bitch, if you have brains, you will have to wait a few days for the person who ordered Huang Liu to be arrested." Turn your face again, now that you and I are fighting with each other, wouldn't it be that those people took advantage of it? When they see the trick leaked out, they will definitely kill people and destroy your broken inn!"

"That's easy!" Mrs. Tao sneered, "Wait for the rabbit, Huang Liu is the tree stump. With him, I'm afraid that those people won't be fooled? As for the eyes-obscuring flies... they should be killed as soon as possible!"

Meng Qi raised his eyes and exchanged a look with Mo Li.

Lady Tao seems to have read books and knows many allusions.

Seeing that Mrs. Tao couldn't be fooled, the leader of the scouts turned to Meng Qi.

"Master Meng, please give me some good words..."

"Don't!" Meng Qi raised his hand to stop it, and said with a half-smile, "This old man is getting older and his temperament has become stubborn, so he doesn't listen to good words."

He picked up the pot and poured himself a glass of water again, and said slowly, "As for the worry you helped to take care of, there is no need. Anyway, someone pretended to be an old man and swindled outside, so let's take today's matter as that person's order." , the old man wanders and indulges in the mountains and rivers, and does not care about worldly affairs, even if King Jing fights with the navy of the Qi Dynasty, what does it have to do with the old man?"

The leader of the scouts fell backward in anger.

"When you first arrived at the inn, you were murderous. The lady of the inn didn't want to die. What's wrong?"

Whether it is the common people or the people of the rivers and lakes, they are not cattle and horses, and they can be killed if they are said to be killed.

"Where in this world is there any reason in this world that you kill people, but others are not allowed to kill you?" After Meng Qi finished speaking, he handed the second cup of water to Mo Li.

Just when Mo Li raised his hand to take it, the two of them paused at the same time and looked at the door intently.

There was a strange sound, dull and loud.

It's like a gust of wind blowing suddenly, and it's like a muffled thunder looming in the distance.

There was a commotion in the inn, and the others couldn't hear it at all.

"No, this is—"

Meng Qi was the first to react, his pupils contracted, and he quickly grabbed the ink carp and rushed out.

On the way, he threw the cup and hit the innkeeper on the forehead.

There was no inner strength contained in the cup, and it shattered in response.

The man was stunned by the beating, and looked along the way he came, and found that the two old men who were sitting at the table drinking water with gusto had disappeared.

Mrs. Tao, who uses hidden weapons, is used to watching all directions, and she is the only person in the inn who saw Meng Qi's actions. Although she doesn't know what happened, but think about how this national teacher can live to be more than 80 years old. He was dead and even Chu Chao forgot that he was still alive, and his ability to predict danger and escape was absolutely top-notch (...), so Lady Tao didn't have time to think about it, so she decided to run away first.

"Xiaohezi! Let's go!"

Lady Tao shouted loudly, and the man followed her without hesitation.

Meng Qi glanced back, seeing that Mrs. Tao understood what he meant, he quickly patted Mo Li's right shoulder, and then rushed around the outer wall of the inn to the backyard.

Mo Li immediately looked up after leaving the inn, followed the strange sight, and there was something faintly flying in the dark night sky.

Now the thing has flown to the highest point, blocking the moon—

Mo Li's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head suddenly to see where Meng Qi was going, and soon thought of the grandparents and grandchildren who had been hiding in the inn room and dared not show their faces.

not good!

When Mrs. Tao came out, she saw smoke and dust flying, and Meng Qi and Mo Li were tearing down the wall with their bare hands.

"..."

No, it's not tearing down the wall with bare hands, it's a direct rampage, saving even the time to jump up and climb the wall with light work, and directly leave a human-shaped hole on the wall.

what happened?

Why did Meng Qi demolish her inn?Lady Tao looked bewildered.

But the inn clerk noticed the strange situation in the air, his face was as white as paper, and he pushed Lady Tao violently.

"Run!"

The buddy's cry was almost heart-piercing.

Followed by the leader of the scouts and his subordinates who ran out of the inn, the opponents have all run away, so why fight?Coupled with the movement of Meng Qi Moli demolishing the wall, even the cowardly Huang Liu didn't dare to stay inside.

It's just that everyone's movements were slow and fast. When Mo Li and Meng Qi broke into the broken room and brought out the trembling grandparents and grandchildren one by one, there were still masked people who hadn't stepped out of the inn.

Shadows are already under the hood.

"boom!"

After the loud noise, the hotel lobby completely collapsed, filled with dust.

The child in Mo Li's hand was struggling with kicking and beating, but was completely froze by the fright, staring blankly at the ruins under his feet.

It is indeed the right foot.

In the end, the ink carp performed lightness kung fu and jumped up, away from the backyard of the inn.

Mo Li didn't have time to look at Meng Qi, he tapped his right foot on the flying tiles, and then ran towards the river at a faster speed.

Although the first rocks hit only the front of the inn and the backyard was spared, it was not safe to stay where they were.

"Who the hell uses a trebuchet?" The leader of the scouts was dragged away by two subordinates in disgrace. He looked at the two shadows in the sky again and couldn't help but curse.

The trebuchet is a siege tool, no matter how thick and strong the city wall is, a layer of wall dust will fall off if it is smashed. This broken inn will be finished with one piece, and there will be one after another?

The leader of the scouts scolded angrily while looking at the ruins behind him with tears in his eyes.

Not all of his subordinates escaped.

Although the front of the inn has completely collapsed, as long as it is not hit by a stone, there is still a glimmer of life.

The leader of the scouts even saw several of his subordinates staggering and pulling away the pillars and broken bricks, running desperately in this direction.

"boom!"

The smoke and dust brought up by the second falling rock blocked everyone's vision.

The scout leader's eyes were red, and his sanity returned at the same time.

——No matter how capable the navy of the Qi Dynasty was, it was impossible for the stones thrown by the trebuchet to cross the river, and only the army had this kind of siege equipment.Whether it is a privately raised dead man or a gangster, basically there is no such thing, because it is too big, even a trebuchet with wheels is not easy to carry.

"Trap! It's all a trap!" the leader of the scouts roared.

The inn is a trap!Huang Liu, the connectors captured by them, and the defense plan of the navy were all part of the trap, which led their scout battalion to cross the river to this broken inn, and then suddenly launched an attack when they caught Huang Liu and tried to track down the instigator , wiped them all out.

Everyone ran wildly for two miles until they saw the sparkling river.

Along the way, they felt the ground vibrating constantly, and boulders were falling one by one, as if they were chasing them.

Fortunately, it is impossible to smash rocks endlessly. Boulders are regarded as a kind of military material, which must be transported by manpower and water.

Lady Tao panted heavily, feeling that the vibration under her feet finally stopped, she turned her head slowly.

The inn is completely invisible, but you don't need to look to know what it will become.

Lady Tao's legs were weak, she sat down on the ground, a line of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

The man ran over panting, at a loss, not knowing how to comfort him.

"If you weren't in the way, my brother wouldn't have died!" The leader of the scouts held his knife and glared at the few masked men.

Lady Tao's aura changed immediately, she jumped up and said sarcastically, "What's the matter, it's your fault that I was killed by you for being dishonest, which made you delay, and didn't kill people in time to get back the naval defense map and leave?"

At this time, a person slowly walked out from behind the night.

"...I am the one who snatched the defense map, and I am the one who prevents you from setting the fire."

The leader of the scouts suddenly turned his head and met Meng Qi's cold gaze.

Mo Li stood beside Meng Qi, and behind him were the old woman and young children who were too trembling to stand.

"I was the one who dragged you to the inn, and I was the one who saved your life." Meng Qi asked word by word, "If you set fire first, what would happen?"

The scout leader choked.

The sky was dry, and the riverside was windy. The wind helped the fire out of control, and it was an obvious target at night.

— it just makes the catapult easier to hit.

Thinking of this, the leader of the scouts almost gritted his teeth. He retorted in disbelief: "Nonsense, how does the grandson of Jingzhou know what I'm going to do?"

In the dark night, the moonlight was obscured by flying smoke and dust.

Everyone could hardly see Meng Qi's expression clearly, only heard the chilling voice:

"Is that so...then I have to ask what you were thinking when you gave the order."

There was a dead silence, only the rustling of the wind blowing the reeds.

Why did the leader of the scouts order the fire?From a certain point of view, he didn't really want to know who was the mastermind who stole the defense map, as he said before that only the Jingzhou garrison would do such a thing.The defense map is very important, yes, but it is useless for others to get it. The focus of this mission is to recover the defense map, not to catch the master.

Killing Huang Liu and burning down the inn is the simplest, most brutal and most direct way to get rid of everyone who may have seen the defense map.

"...The soldiers of the Qi Dynasty don't want to fight, the generals don't want to fight, and neither do you." Every word Meng Qi said seemed to hit the hearts of everyone.

He asked coldly, "Is there any easier way than setting fire?"

Just killing people may not be able to retrieve the defense map, maybe Huang Liu even drew a copy, so it is safe to burn it all.

It is not difficult to guess that the leader of the scouts will set the fire. Perhaps the people behind the scenes are still wondering why the fire has not started, and finally they can't wait, fearing that the time will be too long, all the people in the Qi Dynasty's scout camp have withdrawn, so they simply sent the trebuchet directly.

"Did you know from the beginning?" The scout leader's expression changed, and he directly classified Meng Qi with the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Idiot." Lady Tao muttered softly.

If Meng Qi had ulterior motives, would he sit in the inn?No matter how good his martial arts are, how dare he face the trebuchet?

Random arrows have no eyes, let alone trebuchets.

Meng Qi only figured out the cause and effect within a short period of time after the shocking change occurred.

The leader of the scouts glared at him, but Mrs. Tao was not afraid.

Meng Qi didn't bother to pay attention, and asked directly: "Where is your ship, if you want to live, you must leave here as soon as possible."

The scouts hesitated for a while, and Mrs. Tao couldn't help stomping her feet and cursing: "The flying stone came from behind us, which is the Jingzhou military camp, so we instinctively ran to the riverside. Do you think the riverside is safe? Do you think you want to smash it to death?" Our people can't guess where we are going? What happened to the stones flying over when we fled? The person who did it knows the terrain here very well!"

Meng Qi was a little surprised, she didn't expect Mrs. Tao to react so quickly.

Mo Li vaguely guessed something, and was reminded by Mrs. Tao, his eyes immediately fell on the dense reeds by the river.

"Could it be—"

The ink carp is not afraid of shooting arrows and setting fire from behind, the river is already close at hand, but the staff of Tao Niangzi's shop and the old women and children should not die here.

"If you don't get on the boat, it will be too late."

The trebuchet can attack at a distance of seventy feet. The bigger the stone, the closer the distance, and the range of the bow and arrow is shorter.

However, the location of the inn is fixed. Even in the dark, as long as the calculation is completed early, the trebuchet can still be used.

The scope of the riverside is wide, and you can go forward or backward. If you don't know where people are fleeing, shooting arrows in advance will only scare the snake.Meng Qi estimated that in another quarter of an hour, archers would arrive.

The leader of the scouts was forced to take everyone to the place where the boat was hidden.

The people who had been beaten in the dark just now had to run for their lives together.

Mo Li wanted to turn around and find out those who attacked secretly, but Meng Qi shook his head at him.

These scouts from the Qi Dynasty were not kind, and without the convenient location of the inn, Mrs. Tao could only protect herself and her buddies, and the grandparents and grandchildren had nowhere to escape.

"Huang, Huang Liu is not here." The man stammered to Mrs. Tao.

Lady Tao has always wanted to break the bones of Huang Liu, the guy who caused the disaster, but when she knew that Huang Liu might not have escaped from the inn, she swallowed the angry curse words, and just squinted: "Hurry up, he is dead or alive!" Does it have anything to do with us?"

The guy shut up.

Mo Li knew well that Huang Liu was not the only one who died, there might also be the masked man who was about to set fire at the beginning but was restrained by Meng Qi and thrown into the woodshed in the backyard.

It happened so suddenly that it was too late to save people.

Scouts—they don’t have face coverings anymore, some lost them on the way to escape, and some simply took them off after running out of breath. Anyway, there are no one who doesn’t know their identities, and it’s okay to wear masks significance.

"The boat is down there."

Several people jumped into the river, followed a rope and began to grope, and immediately dived to the bottom after confirming the location.

The way to hide the boat is to pile up stones on the boat and let the boat sink. Now just throw away the stones and pull them up with ropes.

There are three boats in total, none of them are big, but they look solid.

Meng Qi Moli led people to choose one, and Mrs. Tao led her staff to follow without hesitation, and the others climbed into the other two boats.

"The little one can handle the oars." The inn boy volunteered.

Mrs. Tao looked at the other people on board in embarrassment. It was obviously impossible for old women and young children. Meng Guoshi and his friends were also very old, so Mrs. Tao gritted her teeth and was about to get the oars, but was unexpectedly stopped by the ink carp up.

"No need." Doctor Mo said flatly, "I can push the water with my inner strength."

Lady Tao just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a reed not far away suddenly burst into flames.

"coming!"

Meng Qi turned around and watched, the others were terrified, wishing the boat could put on its wings and fly out of the range of bows and arrows as soon as possible.

The leader of the scouts still couldn't believe it until now.

"How? How is it possible?" He kept muttering.

For many years, the navy of the Qi Dynasty and the navy of Jingzhou lived in peace, and neither side wanted to fight. Even if the defense map of the navy was stolen, the leader of the scouts once thought that although there were people playing tricks on Jingzhou, most soldiers would not buy it and steal the defense map It does not mean sending troops.

But setting traps against the most powerful scout battalion of the Qi Dynasty Navy, even using trebuchets, this is no small conflict.

The three boats were still rowing out in the reed marsh, and they were very close to each other.

Meng Qi didn't want the people behind the scenes to be complacent, so he simply pointed out: "Before you suspected that there was a third party playing tricks, but now you don't believe it because of the trebuchet?"

"But that's the direction of the Jingzhou garrison!" The scout leader's eyes widened.

"Don't others be allowed to persuade King Jing to use the Jingzhou navy to ignite the flames of war?" Meng Qi glanced at him, threw the defense map across the air, and said coldly, "This thing may be just a cover to deceive you Yes, Jingzhou may have already obtained the defense map through other channels."

The leader of the scouts quickly opened the map to check, it was too dark, the more anxious he was, the less he could see clearly.

Until the fire approached, faint human voices came from the shore.

"People ran away."

"There is a boat on the river! Shoot the arrows!"

The wind brings indistinct cries.

The old woman was frightened and frightened that night, and when she heard the sound of arrows swishing, she passed out straight away.

On the contrary, the child opened his eyes wide and showed no fear. If Mrs. Tao hadn't held it down, he might have climbed out of the cabin.

To the toddler, the outside is bright red, fun and strange, just now he "flyed" in the sky in a daze, although his legs were weak, but after recovering, his eyes were firmly glued to the ink carp. It is also very interesting to see Mo Li standing outside the boat, flicking his sleeves (knocking down arrows) one after another.

Meng Qi Moli was able to protect the entire boat, but the other two boats were not so lucky, and an arrow hit by the side of the boat would cause a panic.

The arrow was wrapped in something, and it exploded immediately when it hit the wood, bursting into flames.

Fortunately, the scouts were very familiar with these accidents and knew how to put out the fire, so there was no catastrophe.

The boat went farther and farther, gradually out of danger.

Without saying hello, the two boats quickly crossed the river.

Only the man was left holding the oar and looking at Meng Qi helplessly.

"Go downstream." Meng Qi said slowly.

The fire was so powerful that it ignited all the reeds on the south bank, and it could be seen across the river.

Lady Tao looked at the unconscious old woman and the child beside her with probing eyes.

Mo Li paused, and Lady Tao quickly came to her senses, and said with a forced smile, "Forgive me for the misfortune that happened to my family, I will be suspicious of everyone I see."

The guy stretched his head and looked over, confused: "What? Is there something wrong with these two?"

"No." Lady Tao hurriedly urged, "Row your boat, don't look around."

Mo Li didn't expose her. In fact, Mrs. Tao didn't suspect that the grandparents and grandchildren were hidden enemies, but suspected that their identities were unusual. Otherwise, why would the national teacher of the Chu Dynasty want to protect them?Put them first in everything?

Lady Tao doubted it for a while, then gave up in self-deprecating manner, even thinking it was ridiculous to herself.

——Maybe it's just saving people, but in this world, even saving people seems unusual.

Mo Li took the initiative to ask: "Lady of the store, you are familiar with the terrain. Is there any place nearby where you can go ashore and it is not difficult for the Jingzhou garrison to find?"

"Here...five or six miles to the east, there is a hidden bend in the river. The entrance of the river is blocked by iron cables. Normally, boats cannot enter. However, Xiaohezi is very strong. As long as we all get off the boat, he can handle it all by himself. Carry it over by boat. Enter the river bend at night, and you can reach the wild mountains before dawn, and the villages there are mostly people who fled from the north."

Lady Tao tried it out without any trace.

"Let's go like this." Meng Qi said casually.

Although the old woman said that she was going to look for relatives, Jingzhou didn't seem to be peaceful here, so she just had to find a place where their grandparents could live temporarily.Meng Qi asked himself that there were a lot of troubles, and it was impossible to help the grandparents all the way, maybe they would get better luck if they stayed away from him.

"The national teacher is not afraid that the servant has ulterior motives? For example, setting a trap?"

"The old man is not afraid of traps, but afraid of the enemy hiding his head and showing his tail."

Meng Qi casually glanced at the innkeeper and Mrs. Tao.

The clerk couldn't help shivering. When the tower-like thick man came back to his senses, his face was full of surprise. It was the first time he felt this way in the hot summer season, so he tried his best to wink at Lady Tao while paddling.

——Don't mess with it, don't mess with it, go early and leave early.

Lady Tao's expression changed, and she said hesitantly: "Listening to the implication of the national teacher's words, it seems that you have guessed the culprit tonight?"

Meng Qi glanced at her and didn't answer.

Lady Tao gritted her teeth and walked out of the cabin
