Come on, Your Highness

Without the eyesore of the thugs on the boat, but with a few guards, Xiao Hong looked at Fifth Miss with a more gentle gaze.

"Yan'er, to be honest, I don't agree with the Lu family, but I can't bear to think of you."

Fifth Miss lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, "Yan'er is satisfied with His Highness's words. In fact, the Lu family was not like this. My father told me that when my grandfather returned to his hometown, he expanded the sacrifice land and bought it for the sake of his clan. Paddy fields on the edge of the Songjiang River. However, there was too little rain in one year, and the water level of the Songjiang River dived, making it difficult to irrigate the fields, and the harvest was not good that year. That’s why the sluice was built, but unexpectedly, it affected the dam in Kuiliang County. Several years had passed by the time the reason was known. Later..."

"Yan'er, I'm not stupid. This reasoning doesn't make sense. There is a lot of rain in summer, so why close the sluice gate?"

Fifth Miss didn't expect Xiao Hong to expose her directly, she froze in place for a while, her face was flushed, but she didn't know how to answer.

However, Xiao Hong didn't have any intention of blaming her, and gave her a glass of water, and said in a warm voice: "I believe that the Lu family's fault was unintentional, but it was just greed and desire. Once the thought arises, it can't be controlled."

Fifth Miss had an apology on her face, her eyes drooped and she remained silent.

Xiao Hong comforted: "Speaking of which, it's still my fault. If I come a step later, I won't catch up with this matter."

When he said this, his attitude was already obvious. He regretted joining in. He chose to turn a blind eye to the people of Kuiliang County, and he was suspected of deceiving himself.

Just let him do it, but still hesitated.

Miss Wu was slightly happy in her heart, but quickly shook her head, and said with guilt on her face: "Actually, Yan'er is in a wealthy family, and every time she thinks of those people suffering, she feels extremely sad. However, how can you blame His Highness? It’s just that I’m a weak woman, I can’t help myself, and I only hope that I can do something for these people in the future.”

"Yan'er, you are such a kind and good girl, I am so lucky to meet you." Xiao Hong looked at her and said sincerely.

Miss Wu blushed when she heard this, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and said softly, "Yan'er is too."

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao Hong immediately put away his almost unstoppable gaze, and took it easy.

It's really hard to pretend to be with someone he doesn't like, and He Xichao really created a problem for him.

Fortunately, the girl who has not been out of the cabinet dared not look at it after being praised for a few words.

He Xichao stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes seemed to be looking at the distant scenery, and he was also observing the surrounding ships.

There were two boats following behind this painting boat, which should be from the Lu family.

The sky gradually darkened, and the heat of summer left. Today's weather is not good, the clouds in the sky are thicker, but the water is calm, like the calm before the storm.

Looking at the small islands in the lake in the distance, he couldn't help smiling, and turned around to wave to Shusheng Shao who followed him on board.

In the eyes of outsiders, Shao Shusheng and his maid, Yuexiang, are getting better, so naturally they will not go to Chunfang Pavilion again, but instead board the boat with Xiao Hong and bring Yuexiang.

"gentlemen."

"I heard that the second young master of the Lu family is good at chess, how is your chess skill?"

Shao Shusheng said: "I understand a little bit, so I can follow along."

He Xichao nodded and said: "Everyone on this boat is listening to the orders of the second young master of the Lu family and the fifth miss. If he doesn't focus on His Highness, we will be much more relaxed with only the fifth miss."

Shao Shusheng laughed and said: "Student understands, don't worry sir, although my chess skills are not as good as Brother You's, I can still be an opponent to him."

"Then please."

"Students are honored."

Shao Shusheng was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by He Xichao, he turned his head in doubt, and saw He Xichao's calm face, slightly apologetic, and asked in a low voice: "You have an old mother at home, right? "

Shao Shusheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, with a low voice, "Yes."

He Xichao showed a slight smile, "I will let His Highness remember, if we... your mother will be taken to live in the British Palace."

Shao Shusheng's hands were clenched slightly, and his breathing was a little heavy. He looked into He Xichao's eyes without any waves, but suddenly he asked, "Why do you ask His Highness to write it down, sir?"

"I also wrote it down." He Xichao replied.

After Shao Shusheng heard this, he suddenly raised his lips, "I don't seem to be afraid anymore."

"Go."

Because of Qixi Festival, the Jiangzhou government sent many officials and soldiers to the fairy lake and bustling places to maintain law and order, but the gate of the city was a little deserted.

But that's it, when the Jiangdong army officially arrived at the gate of the city, they entered the city without any effort and took control of the gate.

General Huang sat on the horse, looked at the fairy lake, and said in a deep voice: "In three ways, go to Xianhu to rescue His Royal Highness King Ying, go to Chunfang Pavilion to meet Huang Qi, and follow me to arrest Chengenhou! "

On this day, there are those who wander the streets and lakes with their loved ones, and naturally there are also those who miss the brothel and forget to return.

It was originally a festival of love and love. There was a rehearsal of new dance music in the Chunfang Pavilion, and there was a first night show for young men who could only watch but not get started on weekdays. It was very lively for a while.

A dozen or so scholars were dragged and dragged by four dandies, and brought to Chunfang Pavilion intimidatingly.

"Despicable." Fang Jun got off the carriage with many scholars, brushed off his sleeves, glared at the four smiling dandies, and then turned around to see this brightly lit and resplendent building with colorful lanterns.

For a moment, he was dumbfounded with the scholars around him who had never seen the world.

Mr. Zhu threw the books he snatched into the carriage, glanced at each other with the others, and jokingly said: "You are stupid, have you never seen it before, a bunch of bumpkins, I am not happy to bring you here to see and see, thanks to Lu Brother has made arrangements."

Young Master Lu shook his head with a smile, and persuaded: "You guys don't need to avoid them like snakes and scorpions, but just go and watch the dancing, listen to the music, and drink some wine. If you don't want to let the girl accompany you, you can just do it. relax."

"Let's go, I miss Miss Weiyu, I hope that Major General Nashilaozi will not bother you again, otherwise he must make him look good!" Young Master Wei opened the folding fan and walked into the Chunfang Pavilion first.

The next three dudes also followed.

Young Master Lu greeted the scholars, "Please, everyone."

Scholars, you look at me and I look at you. Finally, with reluctance on their faces and curiosity in their eyes, they linger into Chunfang Pavilion in contradiction.

Master Lu played his fan with a smile, and led others to follow.

Then, the scene that made him feel dizzy again appeared again!

Because Huang Qi was also there, he acted preemptively and called away all the women who had served these young masters.

It's okay, the four of them had already lost face yesterday, and today there are more than ten scholars present, how can they let it go!

Yelling and rushing over, Young Master Lu couldn't stop him.

A dozen or so scholars were excited at the moment, and followed closely to prepare for a good show.

This kind of jealous drama will be staged almost every few days, and it is normal in the brothel.

Yanyu's mother held the handkerchief and winked at the head of the guards in the building, "Don't go, you are the ones who can't be provoked. With the young master here, can you still fight? Take care of the other guests and don't watch the fun."

Although Young Master Lu brought a lot of people, no matter how big the Chunfang Pavilion was, it was not suitable for them all to come in, so he only brought his personal guards, and the rest stayed outside.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, that little guard is enough to settle many things.

However, when he walked into Huang Qibao's private room with the scholars, the sharp sword was placed on the necks of Young Master Lu and the guards behind him in an instant, and he unambiguously disarmed the guards skillfully in the blink of an eye.

Master Lu looked in astonishment at the four dudes and scholars standing behind Huang Qi, and many soldiers firmly protected them.

In an instant, the three dandies with unrestrained appearances pretended to conflict with Huang Qi, all to lower his vigilance.

Young Master Lu understood everything, and cold sweat followed.

He looked at Huang Qi with wide eyes, and said in a dying struggle: "Young General, the Lu family treats you well!"

Huang Qin used to look at Young Master Lu with the stupid eyes he used to look at the four dandies behind him, "The Lu family is going to rebel, so my Jiangdong army will follow the rebellion because of that, and it's not a fool."

"This is slander, the Lu family is loyal to the emperor, how can they rebel." Young Master Lu scolded angrily.

"Imprisonment threatens the King of England, and the next one commits crimes. Isn't this a rebellion?" Behind Huang Qi came a righteous reprimand.

"For my own selfishness, I have caused thousands of wronged souls in Kuiliang County. Without any remorse, I didn't say anything. Instead, I forced His Highness to join forces with the emperor and deceive the emperor. Ten thousand deaths of the Lu family would not be enough to offset the crimes committed!"

"Hey, this is more hateful than treason!"

"Fortunately, the heavens have eyes, and the wicked will have their own retribution. The Lu family is waiting for the whole family to be executed!"

……

Huang Qi picked out his ears, rolled his eyes to the sky, and thought that a scholar is a scholar, what are you doing with so much nonsense at this time.

With a big wave of his hand, he said, "Come on, the task of rescuing you, my master, is complete. Hurry up and leave, we have to join the army."

"What about Your Highness?" Fang Jun asked quickly.

Huang Qi said leisurely, "His Royal Highness naturally has arrangements."

According to previous years, there is no curfew on Qixi Festival, and the summer is hot during the day, and the night is often the busiest.

The number of cruise ships on the lake still hasn’t decreased, but instead, it is covered with lanterns of various colors, compared to the Lantern Festival.

I don't know when the lake is full of river lanterns, lotus-shaped, and the little lights are more beautiful when spread on the water.

Miss Wu's maid came over with two river lanterns in her hand, and blessed them with a smile: "Your Highness, Miss, if you want to set off the river lanterns, just write the name of your loved one on it, and let the river lanterns go all the way. If you look at Songjiang with the current, you will be able to form a bond forever, often for a long time!"

"Your Highness?" Fifth Miss turned to look at Xiao Hong upon hearing that, with expectation in her eyes.

"Let go, of course let go, bring the pen and ink." Xiao Hong said.

The servant girl had prepared it long ago, and the Four Treasures of the Study were placed on the table, "By the way, Your Highness, miss, you can't show it to others after writing your name. I heard that in this way, your wishes will come true."

"Is there still this particularity?" Xiao Hong asked with interest.

"Yes."

Xiao Hong added words on the river lantern, covered it with his hand on purpose, and winked at Miss Fifth.

Miss Wu was sweet in her heart, so she also wrote with a pen, but the names of the children of the royal family were rarely known to others. Although she knew Xiao Hong's name, she didn't know how to write it, so she hesitated and asked: "Your Highness, your name... ..."

"Xiao Hong, great ambition."

Xiao Hong replied without hesitation, making Miss Wu smile softly, and write down the word "Xiao Hong" seriously with downcast eyes.

"By the way, it's too thin for just the two of us. Why don't everyone on board share one." Xiao Hong suggested casually, and Fifth Miss readily agreed.

He Xichao, who was sitting at the bow of the boat looking at the river lantern, looked at the river lantern delivered to him, and couldn't help but look into the cabin suspiciously.

Miss Fifth was lowering her head to write, and He Xichao happened to see Xiao Hong with deep meaning in her eyes, and this person even raised the river lantern in his hand to him, the meaning was self-evident.

"Master Xichao, if there are lovers who write each other's names, put the river lantern into the water and float all the way into the Songjiang River, they will finally get married and have a good marriage for a hundred years." Xiao Xuanzi smiled and handed the river lantern to He Xichao, and then I sent a pen.

"Having a lover?" He Xichao raised his eyebrows, seeing Fifth Miss wrote her name, but covering it with her hands so that no one could see it, she suddenly understood.

He smiled, took the river lantern and pen, and wrote two characters on the innermost lotus petal.

"It's a bit far away from Songjiang. I'm afraid it will be destroyed if it doesn't flow in. Why don't we drive the boat farther away?"

Xiao Hong accompanied Fifth Miss to the side of the boat, and saw a lot of river lanterns floating over, knocking down the side of the boat, the oars moved the water surface, crooked after a while, submerged and extinguished.

"Yan'er, it's better to drive the boat over there, closer to Songjiang, and far away from those painted boats, otherwise it won't be beautiful when the lights are turned off."

Miss Wu followed Xiao Hong's fingers and saw the wreckage of the river lantern floating in the water like rags, her heart stopped and she felt sorry.

She naturally didn't want herself to end up in the same way as Xiao Hong's lantern, so she quickly agreed, and turned to the servant girl, "Order, tell the boatman to drive further away."

"Miss, where are you going?"

"Isn't there a small island there? Go there, Yan'er, it seems to be closer to Songjiang." Xiao Hong pointed to the faintly visible island in the lake opposite.

"Your Highness said yes."

The servant girl passed on the words, and the leader of the guards couldn't help but hesitate, "It's too far away, I'm afraid it's dangerous."

The servant girl was immediately displeased and said, "This is Miss' order."

The leader of the guards had a troubled face on his face, and after thinking about it, he still went to find Master Lu Er.

At this moment, Second Young Master Lv threw himself on the chessboard with all his heart, even the river lamp was left beside him and did not move, he said without looking back: "Since Yan'er said so, let's do as she said."

"Second young master, the night is dark, I'm afraid it's not good to drive far away, in case of danger..."

Before the man finished speaking, Shao Shusheng asked in surprise: "Could there be water bandits here?"

"Where did the water bandits come from? They were all wiped out a hundred and eight years ago." Second Young Master Lu said with a look of impatience. At this moment, his mind was full of solving the chess game, and he was interrupted just after he had a clue, and he was a little irritable. , "If it's just these things, there's no need to talk about it, let's go."

The leader had no choice but to confess.

The painting boat was sailing out, guarding a boat next to it, Lu Xueliang frowned and said, "What's going on?"

"This... I don't know!"

"Follow up and ask."

After a while, the front man replied, Lu Xueliang didn't know what to say when he heard it, "I'm just in a daze! Daddy is really, what use is a little girl's film!"

But thinking about it being on the water, King Liangying couldn't do any tricks, so he ordered: "Follow closely, after the river lanterns are set off, go back quickly, the weather is bad, I'm afraid a storm is coming. "

The painting boat stopped not far from the small island, and one after another river lanterns were put into the water, and the little river lanterns were like stars in the sky, spreading out on the lake.

Miss Wu looked at the river lantern, and suddenly Xiao Hong held her hand. She was shocked, and when she turned around, she saw Xiao Hong with a gentle face, approaching her and saying, "Let's go inside, I have something to say to you." explain."

Fifth Miss stared blankly at Xiao Hong, and followed him into the cabin.

The painting boat is very big, and there are several rooms in the cabin, and Miss Fifth is only accompanied by Qin'er, a personal maid.

"What does Your Highness want to say?" Fifth Miss asked with a blushing face.

"Didn't Lord Hou want me to tell you something?"

"Your Highness agrees?"

Xiao Hong smiled and led her all the way into the wing.When Fifth Miss walked into the room, she found that He Xichao was there with Xiao Xuanzi, and she couldn't help looking at Xiao Hong suspiciously.

"Qin'er, close the door." Xiao Hong ordered.

Qin'er hesitated for a moment, after all, there are only men here.

He Xichao said: "There are some things that I'm afraid I need to discuss with the lady. After all, it is related to many lives, and His Highness has always been difficult to make a decision."

He Xichao is Xiao Hong's counselor, there is nothing wrong with him here, Miss Wu nodded when she heard this, and Qin'er turned around to close the door.

When He Xichao was speaking, Xiao Hong walked around behind Fifth Miss carelessly, and when Qin'er turned around, he raised his hand without hesitation and slashed on the back of Fifth Miss's neck with a knife.

Fifth Miss didn't have time to be astonished, she fell silently on top of him.

Qin'er closed the door, and when she turned back, she covered her mouth with one hand, and Xiao Xuanzi suppressed her screams in her throat, only her wide eyes were full of fear and disbelief.
