[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

After they all retreated to the shore, most people still felt that it was too unreal, just like a dream, seeing the vortex that swallowed up the entire merchant ship.

Baochai sat kneeling by the pier, half of her body was covered with water vapor, looking at the blood, her body trembled uncontrollably.

Suddenly, a robe was draped over her shoulders, bringing a little warmth, but Baochai quickly avoided it, turned her face away, and curled up even tighter: "Thank you, my lord... Minnie, it's all right."

Shui Rong shook his head, and didn't force himself, he casually hung the silver-white filigree robe on the stake on one side, signaling: If it's really cold, put it on by yourself.

Lin Jifeng was not so squeamish, wiped his face, ignoring the water all over his body, walked over wetly, winked at Shui Rong, pouted his mouth again, and asked: Can I ask something?

Shui Rong nodded, as if sighing: "Miss Xue has a firm mind, far better than ordinary boudoir girls."

Lin Jifeng nodded, and was about to squat down to ask questions, but Baochai stood up forcefully, covered the bruises on his wrists, and bowed gracefully: "My lord, Mrs. Lin, Xue Baochai, the daughter of the people, is the head of the Xue family of the imperial merchant. female."

Lin Jifeng pointed at himself, curious: "Do you recognize me?"

"When Mr. Lin went to the Grand View Garden to pick up Miss Lin, Minnv once met her from afar."

Sure enough, her mind was firm. The group of guards were still stunned by such an inexplicable incident, but the little girl who had been tied up for several days was only a little scared, but her mind was still clear and organized.

Lin Jifeng glanced at Shui Rong again, meaning - it seems that you are more familiar with her, why don't you ask?

Shui Rong thought for a while, and took the initiative to speak: "Miss Xue, you don't have to be afraid. The king and Mr. Lin just want to know who, when, and why you were tied to this ship? Also, the bilge was tied to this ship. The stabbing was done by the kidnappers, or——by you?"

Baochai's face was pale, and she braced her upright body, and replied: "Four days ago in the morning, the second uncle of Minnv came to the door and said that she lost a lot of money in a bet and had no money to pay back. Take refuge on the family’s boat, stay for a few days and collect the autumn rent, and you will have money to turn around.”

"Second uncle has always... It's not a big deal, Minnv's mother agreed. However, the next day, the man who unloaded the ship came to report, saying that the second uncle brought a group of strange strangers on board, and they were still there. Discussing about 'paddock, autumn hunting'. The girl was worried, so she brought someone to see, who knew...she was tied up."

"Not only that, yesterday evening, the second uncle coerced the daughter to hand over the letter of the imperial merchant's access to the river, and even threatened to kill the daughter... Fortunately, the second uncle seemed to have other things to do at night, so he left the boat... Although the daughter is a boudoir Only the emperor and businessman can't be lost because of his faith, and the second uncle's plan is not small, if he really takes it to do whatever he wants, I'm afraid Xue's family will be, for, tiger, for, and for. "

Speaking of this, Baochai's body trembled suddenly, and her fingers were clasped even tighter. The girl's delicate body seemed to be threatened by something, it was extremely stiff, and even the words were squeezed out through the teeth: , both left and right are dead, at least, to keep a clean name... The boat belongs to the Xue family, and the women know where the sluice is. closed the gate..."

A boudoir girl who is less than 16 years old can have such an experience, and can make such a determination.

Shui Rong listened quietly, his eyes flickered, and he sighed: "If this king was half an hour later, then Wang Zisheng would have been dragged into the vortex by Miss Xue long ago, even if he knew the water, he would not be able to escape. "The pulling force of the vortex caused by the sunken ship cannot be easily resisted by swimmers.

Baochai lowered her eyes: "The women of the people are terrified, and they almost ruin the plan of the prince and Lord Lin."

"What are you 'fearful', we are afraid." Lin Jifeng laughed at himself, folded his arms, and looked at Baochai, "Tsk tsk, the 'determined plan' that we big men think they are resourceful is not as good as going deep. Ms. Xue in the Tiger's Den's 'destroy the boat'. Ms. Xue's actions are awesome and even more respectable."

Shui Rong thought for a while, summoned a few guards, and ordered: "Send Miss Xue to this king's mansion and take good care of it—don't need to go to Xue's house to pass on information for now, and put Miss Xue's safety first."

Baochai resisted a little, she didn't know what she was thinking about, she still lowered her eyes: "...don't bother the prince."

Shui Rong was too tough to resist: "Take Miss Xue away."

Baochai had no choice but to leave. Baochai lowered her head, as if deliberately making trouble with the bruised wrist, pinching her fingers tightly for no apparent reason, her face turned pale with pain, and her fingertips were slightly numb. tremble.

Lin Jifeng watched Baochai being "arrested" away, and looked at Shui Rong quite complicatedly: "What are you thinking, at this juncture, people are being sent to your house?"

Shui Rong still had no expression on his face, shook his head, and changed the subject spontaneously: "It's almost dawn, this match between you and me will end here; the rest—hope, it will go well."

Knowing that he didn't want to say more, Lin Jifeng shook his head, and looked in the direction of the city gate, showing a rare look of solemnity, with calm eyes: "I hope, my uncle's side will also go well."

……

In the suburbs of Beijing, a group of soldiers and horses rushed over, splashing dust all the way.

But he couldn't enter the city gate, because on the official road ahead, a man dressed in black led soldiers and horses had been waiting for a long time.

"Su, King Su?" The leader of the army was stunned for a moment, then raised the weapon in his hand and shouted, "King Su committed a rebellion, so don't let me take it down!"

"Want to take down this king?" Yun Zheng sneered, neither advancing nor avoiding, narrowing his eyes, and asked, "Who are you?"

"We are the defenders of Beilu, and we are ordered by the crown prince to go to the city to serve—ah!" The man was stunned, and there was a silver arrow stuck in his chest, which penetrated into his heart. Blood splattered everywhere.

"You, you..." Staring blankly at the direction where the sharp arrow came from, it was a high hill, in front of a group of soldiers and horses, a man rode alone, with a long bow and sharp arrow in his hand, the string was like a full moon, motionless, just like a frozen frame In a moment of eternity, "How, how, Lin, Lin Rui..."

Lin Rui shot again, and the cold sharp arrow pierced another person's heart; then, Ding Yuanhou coldly ordered: "Let the arrow!"

Before the so-called "Northern foot defenders" could react, a large number of arrows rained from behind them, falling like a torrential rain, and the sound of piercing through the flesh and splashing blood was endless, cruel and solemn.

Yun Zheng looked at him coldly, then suddenly turned his horse's head, and pointed his sword at a lieutenant beside him - the opponent's facial features were all distorted, and he couldn't believe his eyes: "My lord, you, how could you..."

"Among the entire dynasty, apart from the king himself, only the emperor and Marquis Dingyuan have seen the formation map of the king in the southern border. When did you see it, and what did you think about it, and falsely passed on the king's military order to the southern border? Jiang, let them 'rebel', hmph, this king, it's clear!" Yun Zheng said bluntly, "Where is Feng Tang? Tell me!"

Yun Zheng threatened each other with his sword, and his cronies around him were also heavily surrounded. The general knew that there was no escape, so he gritted his teeth and said directly: "My lord, the last general only wants to die!" As he spoke, he drew his sword with his backhand, He was about to slay himself——Yun Zheng immediately slashed down with his sword, only to hear the other party wailing, half of the arm holding the sword had already rolled to the ground, covered with dust all over the ground.

Yun Zheng took back the Qingfeng sword, and said coldly: "Drag on, torture!"

Su Wang's side surrounded a group of inner ghosts, and chopped them to their heart's content; Lin Rui's side gradually closed the encirclement on three sides. When Beilu came, how could he know where Feng Tang was hiding.

A general fell from his horse to the ground, clutching his wound on his chest, gnashing his teeth: "Lin Rui, you, didn't you go to the water army camp..."

It was rare for Lin Rui not to keep his face paralyzed, and he directly responded with an expression like "you idiot": "The rivers around the capital are so narrow that warships can't get in at all." In a land battle, why go to the navy?

——Lin Rui didn't go back at all, so the opponent's arrangement in the water army camp was basically abolished. If anyone dared to sail the boat into the inland river without Ding Yuanhou's soldier amulet, it would be his own death.

"However, the crown prince's orders..." Last night, Yunya's crown prince's order was also accompanied by the plausible Tibetan acrostic poem sent to the water army camp by the girl from the Lin family.

Just let the dead understand, Lin Rui said coldly: "Three hours, I can't rush from the capital to the sea." Go and go, just intercept it again, and besides-now the navy is brought out by him, But for more than ten years, who has seen the so-called "Prince's Instruction".

Needless to say, Lin Rui stabbed down with a sword mercilessly, not looking at the incredible dying expression at all, Lin Rui turned around and signaled to Yun Zheng: "It's over."

Yun Zheng didn't say much, turned around and got on his horse: "Go back."

Dust was raised again, bloody sand all over the sky.

……

The person who secretly sent out the hidden acrostic poems made by Daiyu and Yunya—whether it was openly or secretly—was intercepted and brought back to a special place with deep meaning.

The Xuanzhen Temple in the suburbs of Beijing is where Yunyi used to practice.

And she was sent here again for no apparent reason, Daiyu—in one day, followed Yun Ya from the paddock to the capital, and then from the capital to the dark camp, and now, she came to such a strange place again.

The injury still hurts, but the heart doesn't hurt so much; because Yun Ya told her that the reason for bringing her here was because Lin Jifeng's progress was "very smooth".

No matter what kind of spy, it has nothing to do with the boudoir girl.Daiyu hid in the wing room in the backyard, leaning against a piece of flamboyant plantains, waiting quietly, waiting for the "end" of the ancient well without waves and undercurrents in the front yard.

In the front yard, someone had long been waiting for the "secret agent" to be intercepted. It turned out to be the Empress Dowager Xiao, an old man over eighty years old who was as tough as a man, standing quietly, watching coldly, clearly She sarcastically mocked: "Unexpectedly, the Ai family killed an entire palace of people back then, thinking that there would be no future troubles, but they still kept you by their side."

Being escorted by the guards, the embarrassing but still plain person, Madam Cao, knelt down neatly, just like the dignified and intelligent female official with the oldest qualifications in the palace: "Mother of the third prince, who is the most talented woman?" Ren...is the sister of the servant."

"When I was young, my family was poor, and my sister was sent to her to be raised, so I changed my surname; it just so happened that when the accident happened, my sister's adoptive parents had passed away, and you handed over the 'aftermath' to your servant, which just happened to give this servant a chance to hide live in this deadly bloodline."

"You don't know, my sister's adoptive father is named Feng; the infatuated man who committed suicide outside the palace was the younger brother of General Feng Tang."
