Li Daitao

Chapter 43

A row of platforms more than two feet high was set up on the river, Yi Zhen dragged him to the top and walked to the top.

A painting boat had just stopped on the shore under the stage, Zhu Youzheng got off the boat, saw the two people surrounded by all the guards at a glance, and rushed forward a few steps to salute.

"Master Hou came here by car?" Zhu You was naturally unrestrained, with a romantic charm in every gesture, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to go out early in the morning by car, so I took a boat. Who knows that Man He thinks so It’s not as easy as Hou Ye’s trouble.” Seeing Qin Shu standing next to Yi Zhen, he just glanced at him for a while, and the two of them met each other, then turned to the side.

Yi Zhen had a prejudice against this person, thinking that he was sophisticated and tactful, and he was suspected of misbehavior.I don't always wait to see you, just nod casually.Feeling that Qin Shu's identity was unnecessary to introduce in front of others, he dragged him away in a hurry, and happened to come over with a few businessmen who had business dealings, Zhu You turned around and greeted, a few steps behind, and went up to the stands with a few others.

There were quite a few people on the high platform, most of them were family members of prominent people in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.This place is facing the open river, and there is a large boat parked on the river, with a very high pole erected on the bow, and several young men and women with strong postures are flying up and down, performing various juggling skills, and there are many thrills and excitements in the process. It drew a lot of exclamation and applause.

In the later part, several gazebos are set up, with tables and chairs placed, vaguely separated by screens, as a temporary resting place.

King Duan was already sitting in one of them, and when he saw them coming up, he waved to Marquis Yanzi.

Yi Zhen pointed to the stands beside him, and said to Qin Shu, "Go there and have a look."

Qing Lan didn't wait for his orders, she was a little behind two steps, and followed quietly.Yi Zhenben wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and watched Qin Shu walk to the edge of the stands, before walking towards King Duan.

Qin Shu had never had the opportunity to see this grand and lively scene, and he didn't care about the contemptuous expressions and whispers behind his back, so he tried to squeeze in front.

The performers on stage are all outstanding artists, and the program is even more novel and interesting.But he didn't want to look too much, he glanced casually, and his eyes quietly wandered among the audience in the stands on both sides of the strait.There is a vast sea of ​​people, and all the faces are full of enthusiasm, which is very strange.The outermost layer is guarded by strict soldiers patrolling. From time to time, you can see the flashes of light on the weapons, even though separated by a sea of ​​people, they still meet his eyes.

For some reason, my heart sank slowly, and I always felt that there was a huge uneasiness spreading little by little.

Although King Duan and Marquis Yanzi were distinguished, the boat race was presided over by Li Fuzhang. Instead, the two of them were able to relax, and everyone else went to watch the fun. There were only two of them left.

Holding a cup in his hand, Yi Zhen always felt that his heart was wobbly and out of place, and he couldn't help showing a bit of trance anxiety on his face.

Wang Duan looked at his virtuous behavior, paused the hand holding the pot, refilled the tea, and poured a cup for him.Then he said nonchalantly, "Didn't sleep well last night?"

Yi Zhen ignored him, frowned and said, "As promised, no matter whether we can lure Qisha out or not, I will take him back when we arrive at Yougui." Because the chaos was difficult to control, Yi Zhen was afraid that it would not be safe, so he only agreed to bring Qin Shu out during the day.

Duan Wang pondered for a while, then nodded flatly, this was originally a matter that was negotiated before, and there was nothing extra.Seeing him flustered and fidgeting, I felt unhappy, and said: "Be quiet."

While he was talking, he heard a commotion ahead, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling into the water.

It was only a stick of incense before and after, the two of them didn't expect that there would be movement so soon, and they were slightly stunned when they looked at each other.Yi Zhen took the first step and squeezed forward to have a look.The stands were a bit crowded. Although someone fell into the water, Qin Shu didn't make any fuss because he looked like he knew how to swim.

There were also some people at the place where Qin Shu was originally standing, and two of the maidservants hugged a young lady with a rather strange look on their faces. Seeing Yi Zhen approaching with a grim expression, showing a little panic, they still argued: "I didn't push you away. He, it was...he fell by himself!"

Yi Zhen still cared about listening to what she had to say, and looked down, only Qin Shu was alone in the water, and seeing someone responding, his expression changed drastically.

Most people in the Northern Jin Dynasty are not familiar with water skills. This is well known, and most of the guards that everyone can see today are on the ground.However, Yi Zhen knew that for this matter, King Duan hastily dispatched a group of experts from the Southwest Navy. He had already set up a twisted net with sharp-edged barbs in the depths of the water, and there were people at the bottom of the ship secretly guarding against it. If they didn't know the arrangement Even if it is a swimming fish, it is rare to retreat unscathed.

He knew that Qin Shu was very good at water, so he was afraid of what kind of thoughts he might have at this moment, so he dived into the depths.

Thinking of such a living little splinter going down, turning into a bloody mass of flesh and blood, being picked up by the winch net, my chest hurts so much that I feel like I'm about to suffocate.

He didn't understand what he was thinking either.In the whistling wind in my ears, I could vaguely hear someone exclaiming Lord Hou a few times, and the whole body felt a bone-chilling chill.The water is already flickering in front of my eyes, and it has been poured into my nose without noticing.

Qing Lan was dumbfounded. He was originally assigned to be in charge of Qin Shu's comprehensiveness, and was on guard against someone breaking into the stage. However, there were so many people in the stands.He didn't see clearly how Qin Shu fell into the water, but although he was good at it, he only sank to the bottom when he got into the water, so he hesitated for a while, and now he didn't hold him back. Let Hou Ye also jump down.After hesitating again and again, I still couldn't muster up the courage to jump down to show the loyalty of the Savior.

He was turning around to find someone to help, but he saw King Duan standing behind him, clearly seeing what happened just now, his face was extremely tense, his face was already ashen, he didn't even look at Qing Lan, he was silent He ordered in a loud voice, "Bring my bow and arrow here."

Fortunately, Qin Shu didn't plunge into the water so suddenly that he would never see him again.Struggling to swim to the nearest boat.Hearing the noise behind him, he couldn't help turning his head to take a look, thinking that it was Yi Zhen who came out of the water with his hands and feet tied, both of them were startled.

Seeing him in front of his eyes, Yi Zhen was inexplicably happy and relieved for a while, but he was speechless, only said the word 'you', and suddenly shouted: "Be careful!" He secretly said bitterly, these people may not Knowing the majestic Yan Zihou, the order he received was to capture and kill the man who was in the water today.He has come to this end due to his own crimes, so he can't and has no chance to speak out at this time.

Qin Shu didn't have time to turn around, and followed the sound of the wind to pass sideways, only to see several people dressed in water and holding sharp knives in the water.

He gave way to a knife in the back, and Yi Zhen tried his best to kick one person away, but he didn't get hurt for a while.

But Yi Zhen only knows a little bit of dog-planing tricks in the water, which can fight with people.With just a little movement, the water will sink. Although Qin Shu is good at water, he is also good at small and delicate fights, and then his kung fu is exhausted and his strength is exhausted. In addition, Yi Zhen always wants to protect him, but he is in the way.The two of them ended up with nothing to do.

The guards couldn't get into the water, and they were afraid of accidental injuries from bows and arrows, so they watched a few people tumbling in the water.Fortunately, King Duan already had his bow and arrow in his hand, he didn't have many scruples like ordinary soldiers, and his archery skills were excellent, he shot three arrows in a row, piercing through the arms of the three nearest Yi Zhen who were holding swords.Ji Ci sternly shouted: "Presumptuous. How dare you assassinate Yan Zihou in broad daylight, and take him down quickly!"

The rest of the uninjured people seemed to be stunned when they heard the words. Wang Duan on the high platform looked coldly, as if he was about to take another arrow, glanced at each other, and dragged his injured accomplice into the water. A streak of bloody red emerged from the bottom, slowly rippling on the water surface, scaring everyone present to be afraid to make a sound for a while.

Duan Wang threw away the bow and arrow, without much explanation, and left the scene to Li Fuzhang and others who came later to deal with it.

Zhu You was originally sitting in another gazebo with a well-known local merchant. This person had a very winking look, and he caught a glimpse at the beginning of the situation. The boat rowed over to save people.

Right now the assassin was gone, and Yi Zhen and the two were also rescued on board.

"I didn't expect such a bold and reckless person, and the tired prince was shocked. Fortunately, the Marquis is blessed after all, how can he let such a small boy succeed." Zhu You rushed forward to express surprise, with all words and expressions expressing sincerity.He suddenly supported Yi Zhen and said, "Master Hou is injured?"

Hastily turned around and told the left and right: "Go and get the jasper ointment left last time."

Impatient, Yi Zhen pulled the sleeve out of his hand and hurried to see Qin Shu.Qin Shu's face lost all color, and it was only because someone was supporting him that he didn't go limp.

Yi Zhen looked him over carefully, and saw that he was not injured up and down.It's just that I lost my strength too much, so I let go of my hanging heart a little bit.

After being told by Zhu Youyi, it was only then that he realized that his arm had been cut by a sting at some point. Although the cut was not deep, after soaking in the water for a while, he felt a slight throbbing pain.Yi Zhen only glanced at it, saying that it doesn't matter, he can't wait to take people off the boat.

He didn't want to pay attention to it, but Zhu You was beside him, but he gently pulled him: "Master Hou, at least you have to change your clothes. Master Hou fell into the water carelessly like that, the prince must be very worried. After a while I will definitely come to visit. Master Hou can't still be so wet, and it's not easy to talk in front of his brothers."

Yi Zhen thinks about it, although there are replacement clothes in the car, it is always inappropriate to go out in such a wet way and be seen by others along the way.Although it was May, the weather was gloomy and the river was icy cold. The wet clothes were blown by the river wind, which was extremely unbearable.

Only then nodded in agreement. Seeing Qin Shu curled up aside, also trembling, his eyes were a little straight, and his heart was tugged, feeling a little heartache for no reason.

Zhu Youran fully agreed, and the clever servants went down to get the clothes, and took the two of them separately to change clothes.

At this time Yuanchi Qinglan also rushed to the boat, although Zhu You was very considerate, Yi Zhen thought of the unclear relationship between this person and Duan Wang, so he dared not accept his kindness completely.He didn't dare to trouble him about things like changing clothes and taking medicine, he was only willing to let others do it.

Zhu You smiled with regret, and then turned around and entered another cabin.There were two people in the room accompanying Qin Shu, and when they saw that it was Zhu You who came, they retreated quietly.

Qin Shu had already changed his clothes, and was sitting on the big bed with the quilt in his arms, in a daze.When he approached, he stretched out a trembling hand from under the quilt to grab him. He kept silent until now, with a choked voice, he called out: "Senior brother."

"It's me." Zhu You patted the back of his hand and wrapped another big fur that he brought around him.In the past few months, Qin Shu had lost weight before his eyes, and he vaguely knew what kind of fearful life he lived and what kind of grievance he should be.However, the meeting now only takes a moment, and they dare not delay at all. "You were too careless. The bottom of the water was obviously a game, so why did you jump down? What if there is an emergency? It is really impossible, and it is the same to push the person next to you down. In today's situation, no one has the opportunity to sue you like."

Qin Shu was used to being taught by him since he was a child. Although he disagreed with this senior brother's certain behaviors, he also knew that he was doing it for his own good in his heart, and most of the time he listened without replying.At this time, he just raised his eyes and looked at Zhu You.

What kind of person Zhu You was, he thought for a moment: "... She really pushed you down?" Thinking back on the appearance of that person, he was already thinking about it in his heart.

Qin Shu tightened his grip on his hand, and shook his head slightly: "It's not all his fault, I'm also worried about Xiao Hei's accident."

Yi Zhen knew that he had such a temperament, so he ignored his words in the slightest, and secretly just made up his own mind.Withdrawing his hand, he gently pressed on his wrist.While deliberating, he said, "I heard... is it true?" Zhu You has learned a lot and is proficient in medicine, and the pulse under his finger is so real that no one can believe it.So he paused, lowered his eyes slightly, and glanced at Qin Shu's waist and abdomen.

Qin Shu's face turned red, but it turned white again in a moment. At this moment, there was no time for him to be ashamed, so he reluctantly said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..." He could not continue.

Fortunately, there is an advantage to talking with Zhu You, that is, it can be transparent.His eyes tightened slightly, but his face remained calm, and he didn't say anything for a while, he just said: "In that case, you should be more at ease, and take care of yourself in everything."

A bell was tied somewhere in the room, and it rang twice softly. Zhu You made a gesture of silence to Qin Shu, and stood up by himself.Qin Shu thought of something, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and asked softly and urgently: "Where's your mother?" Zhu You paused and said softly: "It's okay." He still wanted to say something, but right now he didn't. Chance, looking back, pulled out the corner of the clothes from Qin Shu's hand, gently pushed the door and walked out.

Behind him, Qin Shu's face was ashen, and he slumped on the bed.My heart was relieved.That being the case, it is self-inflicted to have fallen to such a point. Fortunately, there is no need to endure humiliation to survive, which is also very good.
