As the boat slowly sailed forward, the river water still slapped the shore rhythmically again and again, the sound of water waves was almost near my ears. I held Ping'er and forgot to walk back. I just held the wooden railing and looked up as the boat slid forward little by little, and a huge dark shadow enveloped my eyes.

Ping'er also became nervous, grabbed my arm hard, and murmured, "It's coming."

The wind on the river was strong, and soon dried the miserable tears on my face, but cold sweat came out in waves. The pain in my heart had not disappeared, and the pain in my body came again. I couldn't help but grab Ping'er's hand.

He looked up at me and subconsciously said, "Aunt Qing?"

I didn't say anything, just bit my lower lip tightly, but couldn't control the feeling of vomiting. I subconsciously took a few steps back and leaned on the wooden railing behind me, and heard the sailor next to me say, "It's really true tonight, there's no sound at all."

"Yes, I don't even scream."

A middle-aged man next to him who seemed to be the leader came over and kicked them: "What are you talking about? Hurry up and go to the helper, you are going to the dock." As he said that, he turned around and saw Ping'er and said unhappily: "Don't get out of the cabin, wait for the boat to dock and get out of the boat."

I reached out and hugged Ping'er without opening my mouth, and forced the feeling of discomfort. The boat slowly slid for a while, and then there was a loud thud in front of me.

It's the anchor to the water.

The hull shook, and the leader immediately called "Get on it quickly" and "ignite it". Everyone around them rushed forward to help. After a while, they put the wooden steps on a trestle on the shore, and then they turned around and said, "Get out quickly, take a walk, get off the boat quickly!"

Ping'er and I were the first to be pushed by them. When we looked back, the slowly lit torches were shining. The people in the cabin also walked out one by one, and everyone was careful. I saw Jingxu's sea-green clothes appearing in the fire, but it was not easy to say hello at this time, so I got off the boat and talked about it.

So, he held Ping'er's hand and walked over slowly.

As soon as my foot stepped onto the fence, it immediately started to shake. Somehow, my heart hung up like a step on the air. There were not many torches lit behind me, so I was naturally afraid of being seen. The flashing fire illuminated the large reeds in front of me. As the night wind blew, the reeds were undulating, and there were still spots of light flashing.

I stopped subconsciously.

The person behind immediately said, "Go away, what are you doing?"

I still didn't move, and looked at the front with my brows tighter and tighter. The sailors behind me were impatient and were about to shout and scold me, suddenly, a cold light flew over from the front. I hugged Ping'er and fell down. I heard a snatch, and a long arrow nailed to the board behind us.

Suddenly, the people following us screamed in fear.

The scream sounded in the quiet night, and it sounded particularly frightened. The people behind him didn't know what happened, but they all started to mess up, and they all shouted: "What's wrong?"

"What are you doing?"

“Yes, yes—”

Those people were originally smuggling across the river on private boats. When they saw that the situation had changed, they were in chaos. Several jumped directly from the boat. Suddenly, the sound of water and shouts were heard.

The scene suddenly lost control.

At this moment, many torches suddenly ignited in front of them, and countless people stood up from the reeds and rushed towards us.

"Dropping off the boat, getting off the boat!"

When the sailors behind me saw it, they were so scared that their feet were weak. I hugged Ping'er and didn't know what was going on, but I saw several people rushing up.

For a moment, I thought it was a robber or a thief, but when I saw that those people were dressed neatly, they first divided a group of people to catch those who jumped into the boat and wanted to escape. Another group of people rushed onto the boat and caught them when they saw them. Everyone was so scared that they screamed and struggled, but were easily subdued by those people. One person rushed over and saw Ping'er and I lying on the board, and immediately pulled us up. I subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"

"Drop the boat! Did you ask?"

I was pushed hard by him, grabbed my hands and entrusted me. Then I heard all the sailors behind me begging: "Good your life, I will never dare to do it again, I will not dare to do it!"

My heart sank, but I didn't have time to think about it. Those people who were like wolves and tigers had already rushed up and occupied the entire ship. The people who originally thought of crossing the river secretly were scared and looked no more. They didn't dare to resist. They were caught and taken off the ship by the people. The land on the shore was wet and mud, and soon the skirts and shoes were covered with mud. In such a late night, the torch suddenly flashed and it was even more difficult to walk.

Finally we walked to the slightly dry and solid ground, and everyone was already in a mess.

We were pushed together by those people, looking at them at a loss. I subconsciously hugged Ping'er, and he was frightened, and he went straight into my arms. Those people came over with torches, surrounding us in a circle. Everyone held a steel knife in their hands and shouted: "Be honest, stand up!"

I didn't say anything, and at this time I looked out of the crowd.

The torches here are too light, and the surroundings appear dimmer. Only after careful attention can you barely see clearly. In addition to the people surrounding us, there seemed to be a group of people in front of us, but none of them lit the torches, but they just stood from a distance and looked at us.

I looked at them carefully.

These people should be the offensive forces on Jiangnan's bank.

Although it is indeed a violation of their rules for crossing the river by private boats, it is a bit too much to catch people like this. Here are just civilians who want to come over to find people or handle private affairs. How can such a big battle be needed?

When all of us stood up, the soldier who was leading the boat who looked like the leader turned around and ran towards the front. A very low voice came from the night wind. I don’t know what they said, but I saw the soldier running back with a torch and waved his hand and said, “See each one!”

What exactly is this doing?

It seems that they are looking for someone from the boat. Who are they looking for?

Just as I was thinking, I saw those people pulling people out from the crowd one by one, raising the torch to shine on their faces, looking at it, then pushing them to the other side. After a while, more than a dozen people had passed.

At this time, they walked in front of me.

I subconsciously reached out to hold the scarf covered by my face, but was grabbed by a tall man. When I saw me like this, I immediately said in a rough voice: "Take it down!"

I gasped slightly: "What are you going to do?"

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel that the purpose of these people to stay here tonight is not simple, and there seems to be a vague sign of poison in my body. I can only hold on to prevent myself from fainting, and I can’t fall down. When the man heard me say this, he immediately became furious and reached out to pull my collar: “Let you talk too much!”

My feet became soft and he suddenly threw it to the ground.

The sudden fall made my eyes appear and I almost fainted. The scarf that was originally close behind my ears also fell off and my face immediately revealed. Perhaps because it was dark in the night, the light of the torch flashed, and several people around who saw my face screamed in fear: "Ah!"

"Her face, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ping'er hurriedly rushed over and hugged me: "Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing, are you okay?"

Just when there was chaos around me, I suddenly heard a low and shocked voice from the group of people who had been silent not far away: "Qing—?"

My heart moved.

That seemed to be the voice of a woman.

Immediately afterwards, someone seemed to clap his hands. When the people here heard this, a few ran over immediately. They seemed to have received some orders and dragged me up from the ground. Ping'er's eyes turned red. She knelt on the ground and grabbed my hand, just like I begged someone to put him down: "What are you going to do? Let go of Aunt Qing, don't hurt her!"

"Stupid guy, get out of here!"

The man kicked him away and dragged me, who was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak, towards the front.

I said I was leaving, but in fact, my legs were dragged on the ground, like a broken sack, and I walked over to a slightly flat place before the person let go. I was already limp on the ground, and a nausea surged up, causing me to retching.

There was a chaotic and peaceful crying behind, but here, there was no sound.

There was only one footstep, slowly coming from the front.

I seemed to realize something, barely supported myself, and with the firelight far behind me, I blurred that there were a large number of people hiding in the night. Although there were many people, I could not hear any breath, which seemed particularly fascinating. The feet that slowly walked to me were slender and light, and the crimson clothes had almost merged into the night.

I raised my head and a woman appeared in my blurred vision.

The fire flashed, and I could only vaguely judge that she was very young and seemed to be pretty good. There was the unique exquisiteness of a Jiangnan woman between her eyebrows, and her eyes were particularly bright, so even such a night could not be covered.

she is--

"Who are you?"

"You are Yue Qingying?"

I was not too surprised to hear the name speak out from her. Everything just now had already shown that they were looking for someone, and those people dragged me over as soon as they saw my festering face. Obviously, they were looking for me.

But aren’t these people against Jiangnan’s forces? Why do they look for me?

Who is the woman in front of you?

I gritted my teeth and didn't say anything. I accumulated the weak strength in my body to make myself stand up. The woman was still looking at me, as if she was a little unwilling to accept it: "Are you really, Yue Qingying?"

She said, her bright eyes were swaying on my face, as if she wanted to find something valuable, but this festering face could no longer find anything that could make people feel better. She frowned, and she was still unwilling to accept her face and became silent.

I asked, "Who are you? Why are you here to arrest me?"

I once guessed that I could establish a force that was enough to fight against the imperial court on the south bank of the Yangtze River. In my opinion, only Yao Lao, but how could the Yao Lao people arrest me like this? But if it weren't for Yao Lao people, then I hadn't even been through Jiang for the past few years, how could I get involved with them?

The woman seemed to have not heard me and kept looking at me. After a long time, she sighed softly, as if she was feeling relieved: "Forget it, I don't want to know what's so outstanding about you."

...

What's the meaning?

After saying that, she had slowly turned around.
