The speed of the pleasure boat was speeding up, and everyone on the boat did not receive new instructions, so they could only follow them all the way.

The old man was already sweating profusely. At this moment, he no longer thought about whether the person they were chasing was on the boat. He only hoped to rescue Grandma Ping back without asking for merit but without asking for nothing. Although he was called the manager of the village, the hostess had always been rude to the male man in the village. If he did a good job, he might not be rewarded. If he did bad things, he would be whipped, and if he had a lot of things, he would be insured. If Grandma Ping was broken here, they would definitely not have good results when they went back.

Old Chang saw that Grandma Ping was soaked in the water by the bamboo wormwood. At first, he struggled and shouted hard. Now he had gradually lost his movements and was mostly drowning. If he delayed a little longer, he would be dead. He used his eyebrows to signal one of the boats to slow down. Several familiar farmers who were familiar with the water changed the water and quietly went into the water, preparing to wait for an opportunity to rescue Grandma Ping.

However, Zhao Ji's guards on the painting were all elites among the imperial guards, and there were even excellent scouts. How could these people not notice the small movements? The guard who was holding the bamboo wool and stabbed the bamboo wool and the soundless Grandma Ping suddenly screamed and was immediately obscured by the waves of water. Then, the guards exerted their strength together, hooked the half-dead Grandma Ping up from the water surface, and placed it on the side of the ship, and put it on the stance. As long as there was any abnormal movement behind, they immediately waved the knife to make the old woman's head different. They just saw the fierce posture of the old woman, so naturally they would not treat her as an ordinary old woman.

Not only did he fail to rescue Grandma Ping, he made a mistake, and he complained more and more. He could only recall the person again and then whispered again to forgive him.

But Zhao Ji was no longer on the deck, so he turned around and walked into the cabin to check Mu Wanqing's injuries. The remnants of the previous banquet in the cabin had been cleaned up, and occasionally the female servants' suppressed screams came from the inner room. A pale maid walked out with a wooden basin. In the wooden basin was filled with Mu Wanqing's black night clothes soaked in the lake. Zhao Ji walked over and saw that the clothes were half blood and half lake water. He frowned and said, "Is it serious?"

"The injury was in the middle of the ribs. The girl had bandaged herself, but the blood still couldn't stop rushing out... The maids had never done this before, so they really didn't dare to move around. They could only burn some hot water to wipe their bodies and change into dry clothes..." The maid said anxiously with her head down and crying.

Zhao Ji would not blame these maids, and told them to be careful not to touch the injured area. Instead, he called the owner of the ship and asked him about the doctor with excellent medical skills in Suzhou City. He turned around and saw the boats following the boats like cowshed plaster, so he asked the owner to find a few sailors to rush onto the deck and put out the lanterns. He took advantage of the chaos to send a guard who was familiar with water to swim ashore first and go to the nearby guards to transfer people to the help of the wing guards.

Both sides drove one after another for half an hour, and near the shallow water of the dock, the speed of the pleasure boat gradually slowed down. Lao Chang shouted without a response, and at this moment he stopped the idea of ​​calming down the situation. He was afraid that the boat would have another variable after the dock, so he signaled everyone to prepare to take advantage of the moment when the boat was stranded and stopped, and then escaped into the lake at night without leaving any evidence of current words. Although he called out their origin just now, the islands in Taihu Lake were scattered, and the families named Wang were not one family. As long as there was no conclusive evidence left, no matter how big the young man came from, it was not easy to pursue it.

Zhao Ji returned to the deck and naturally saw the eagerness to try these people. He didn't say much nonsense. He took the sword from the guard's hand and slashed the Ping Grandma's thigh with one knife. The Ping Grandma was soaked in the lake and was stunned for a long time. After being caught onto the pleasure boat, the lake water flowed out of the corner of her mouth. She was suddenly stabbed in a semi-unconscious state. Her body suddenly thrust, and then she made a shrill and sharp howling sound, and her disheveled head and her disgusting expression was like a water ghost.

"I can't die, be honest with them." Zhao Ji withdrew his knife and handed it to the guard, and said coldly to Grandma Ping.

Grandma Ping is usually an extremely fierce character, but now her life fell into someone else's hands and she was stabbed in her leg. She was not arrogant at all. She screamed hoarsely: "Old Chang, don't move, don't move rashly, don't kill my life..."

The old Chang wanted to give the order and let everyone rush over. Hearing Grandma Ping's roar, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. Seeing that the pleasure boat was about to shore, a group of people rushed over on the shore with torches. He made up his mind and shouted: "Everyone is standing side by side and grab Grandma Ping back!"

Bang...

A thing was thrown off the painting and fell on the water, but Grandma Ping's arm was cut off and threw it down. Grandma Ping's scream became more and more terrifying and lost its voice: "It hurts... Lao Chang, you are the one who kills thousands of swords, you are willing to see that I am killed... Don't move, don't move! If you harm me, Madam Ping will not let you go when she returns to Zhuangli, they will cut them all into flower fat..."

Hearing the roar of Grandma Ping, the shopkeepers couldn't help but hesitate again. They were about to swear, but now they all retreated. Some even shouted to Lao Chang: "Cheng, do not yell anymore, brothers' lives are not allowed to be the ones!"

After being shouted by Grandma Ping, Lao Chang's plan was hard to do as he wanted. Seeing a group of people on the shore approaching, there were about a hundred people, and they were clearly soldiers of the City Inspection Division. He became more and more shocked and did not dare to delay time. He shouted on the boat: "Grandma Ping, remember the favors Mrs. Ping, you should settle it yourself, don't harm the master!"

Immediately, he shouted again: "Everyone retreat, retreat quickly!"

Everyone felt that this aroused ***t. When they heard the old man's shouts, they did not dare to stay anymore. They turned around and paddled their oars to escape to the lake. The group of people were just as they were. With the crackling sound of water, the boat quickly disappeared on the lake in the night. When the patrol soldiers rushed to the vicinity of the pleasure boat, the lake had returned to peace again.

On the deck, the grandmother Ping, who had lost an arm and had a knife on her leg, had already vented more and less breathing. She rolled her eyes frequently. She didn't even have the strength to turn over. Zhao Ji asked her to treat her a simple wound. The old woman's life would have to be kept for the time being, so she would take him to Mantuo Villa. This matter is not so easy to settle!

When the pleasure boat was docked, Zhao Ji did not rush to get off the boat, but asked the guards to come forward to negotiate with the Yu Hou who led the team to rescue him. When he sent people to ask for help, he did not use his identity, but instead instructed the guards to use the emergency warrant signed by the delegation with the three yamen. After all, it was indeed inappropriate to move alone from the delegation, so it is better not to show his identity that he is too prominent.

At this time, the night was already deep, and the troubles on the dock did not cause much trouble. Although there were some tourists from the nearby pleasure boats, all of them dispersed. The guards acted separately, went to the shore to invite doctors in the city, and also moved to the boat they had taken before to transfer their companions and weapons. The Yu Hou, who received the order of the Three Yas, was curious about the identity of the person in the pleasure boat, but he did not break the casserole and ask the final questions, and only ordered his subordinates to protect the pleasure boats.

When the guards on the boat turned around, Yu Hou was shocked when he saw the movements and the weapons they carried. He became worried, fearing that the noble man in the boat would pursue him and he would have to take responsibility for it. However, after waiting for a long time, he was polite to the message uploaded by Huali, so he only asked them to withdraw his troops. Yu Hou got the order and led his troops back, but he also arranged for his confidant to come here. If there was any accident, he would come back in time.

Not long after, all the doctors with a little reputation in the city were invited. These people were respected in the past. They were rushed into their homes late at night and were invited to the edge of Taihu Lake. However, when they got on the pleasure boat, they saw the blood stains that had not yet washed away from the deck, and the guards guarding the pleasure boats all felt a little resentment, and they didn't dare to say anything about it.

After a busy day, it was already past midnight when the quietness of the pleasure boat was quiet. Except for a female doctor who was left on the boat to observe and pay attention to Mu Wanqing's injuries, the rest were also given away from the boat. In the inner room of the pleasure boat, Mu Wanqing was lying flat on the bed, and her hair soaked in water had been wiped clean now, naturally spreading, breathing evenly, and a trace of sickly red appeared on her pale face. She was still asleep, and her face was already visible by the man standing in front of the bed.

Perhaps only when people are not prepared, can they reveal their most essential side. Mu Wanqing's first impression on Zhao Ji was not that he was indifferent or unruly, but that he is now weak and quiet, just like the majesty on the lake at this time, which is not lacking in silence, but not miserable. Looking at the quiet face in his sleep, Zhao Ji suddenly understood Duan Yu's obsession with the jade statue in the middle of the stone cave. Humans are a visual animal, with a just right beauty. Even if it is just a simple picture, they have enough exciting power.

After a while, he gently placed the black curtain on the edge of the bed, then turned around and walked out of the room, and ordered the waitress outside the room to take good care of it.

Walking back to the deck, a guard stepped forward and said, "Prince, that old pious woman is awake."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji sneered and turned to the room where Grandma Ping was placed. After learning the Beiming Divine Art, he was worried that he would not be able to exert his internal strength in his body without martial arts, so he took this opportunity to go to the Langhuan Yu Cave of the Wang family to take a look.
