During the nearly two months when Daiyu and Jia Lian took a boat to Yangzhou, many big and small things happened in Rongguo Mansion, such as: Qin Keqing died suddenly after becoming seriously ill, and then held a grand funeral ceremony? Then there was Wang Xifeng, who assisted in the management of Ning and Rong's Mansion, as well as Yuanchun's choice of Fengzao Palace, and was rumored to be returning to Rongguo Mansion and the province, etc.
However, no matter what happens in Ningrong's second house or outside, it will definitely not affect Baoyu, who can only play and have fun among his sisters!
Isn’t this?
Early this morning, Jia Baoyu, who had nothing to do, went to Baochai's boudoir in Lixiangyuan again, and walked directly next to Baochai without any shame, and kept twitching his nostrils, without knowing it. Sniffing something.
"??"
"Baoyu, what are you doing?"
Baochai, who originally felt that it was a bit inappropriate to let the other party enter her boudoir casually, could not help but move slightly inside after seeing the other party's intimate movements.
After all, she is three or two years older than Baoyu, so she naturally knows some of the differences between men and women, and she is not like the sisters who grew up in Rongguo Mansion, so she does not dare to behave like this casually. Men hang out together.
"..."
"Sister Bao, you are so chic. What kind of rare powder and perfume are you applying on your body?"
Smell the cold body fragrance emanating from the other person's body, look at the rich skin between the other person's neck, the snow-white arms exposed at the cuffs of the gauze dress, and look at the other person's silver basin-like face, which looks like an apricot. With eyes like eyes, lips that are not dotted but red, eyebrows that are not painted but green, I feel that the other party has a different kind of charming and romantic Baoyu than Sister Lin who has a hint of softness in her heroic spirit, so I can't help but be a little stunned. .
Usually, when Sister Lin is around, he, Jia Baoyu, naturally just wants to get close to Sister Lin all day long to be naughty and attract her attention! Now, when his sister went to Yangzhou for nearly two months, and when he had to come to Sister Bao to kill time, he discovered that Sister Bao was as charming as his Sister Lin, and she was also a A fairy-like beauty?
"Pooh!"
"What kind of powder and balm? I would never use those things myself!"
"Maybe it's because of the 'Lengxiang Pills' I took..."
After quietly moving back a little bit, Baochai explained.
She had just come to live in Rongguo Mansion with her mother and brother, and she was still not used to being too close to Baoyu, the only man who grew up in the backyard. After all, at his age, he would not be placed in an ordinary family. All of them are people who can get married and have children!
"What is Lengxiang Pill? Is it so magical?"
"quick!"
"Sister Bao, please give me a pill and try it?"
Jia Baoyu, who was not shy or impatient and had no intention of losing any face, continued to move forward and stayed close to the other party, then she pulled the other party's warm and greasy arm and began to plead urgently in a low voice.
"Hurry up and let go! What's the point of pulling and tugging?"
"Baoyu, you may not know that the 'Lengxiang Pill' is a medicine. Can you take it with the same pill?"
The materials and production conditions of Lengxiang Pills were extremely demanding. It was just a coincidence that her family was able to prepare them all at that time. She didn't have many pills in total. The rest is now buried under the pear tree outside their pear garden. She only digs it out and eats one when she is sick. How could she dig it out and take a pill with him just to give him a taste?
Besides, she didn't know the consequences of different people taking the medicine. If the old lady's darling took it and did something bad, she couldn't afford it!
"Sister Bao can eat, why can't I?!"
Since eating it can exude that cool and weird aroma all over your body, Baoyu will definitely not let go of that good stuff! Because he felt that that rare thing was probably much better than eating the rouge on the lips of the sisters at home.
"Okay, Baoyu!"
"You should think about your sister Lin! Calculating the time, it has been almost two months since she returned to her home in Yangzhou. I guess she will be back soon, right?"
Baochai, who didn't want to get entangled with the other party over irrelevant matters like 'Leng Xiang Wan', quickly began to change the topic and turned the matter to Sister Lin, who the other party was more interested in.
"You mean Sister Lin?"
"She won't come back so soon! But Sister-in-law Lian said a while ago that they have just returned uncle Lin Ruhai's coffin to Suzhou. They should have started back by now, but Suzhou is far away from our Jinling, and it's upstream. Go ahead, even if you travel day and night, you won’t be able to come back without ten days and a half?”
Sure enough, when Jia Baoyu heard Sister Bao talking about Sister Lin, Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and soon stopped worrying about the 'Lengxiang Pill' thing she just mentioned, and instead sighed gloomily.
His uncle Lin Ruhai passed away. I'm afraid Sister Lin will be very sad, right? It's a pity that he can't stay with Sister Lin to comfort her, and he has no chance to see her sobbing look that makes people unable to help but pity her.
"Ai……"
"I just hope nothing happens to them!"
"I heard what my brother said a few days ago. I heard that a big case happened in Yangzhou city today: many officials, gentry, and dignitaries, including Wang Shuirong of Beijing who went to Yangzhou at that time, they were killed overnight. They were all killed, and it is said that they were all the kind who sealed their throats with one sword without missing a beat?"
"The government has not found the gangster who committed such a shocking crime so far. Sister Lin and the others must not encounter such a thief!"
Baochai said with some fear that she could not imagine that there could be such a vicious strongman in this world who could kill so many people in one night, and most of them were officials, gentry, and powerful people, including An extremely noble prince?
It is said that after this case shocked Jinling, it has spread all over the world. His Majesty the Emperor in the palace has issued a decree, ordering the department to solve the case within a time limit, and there must be no mistakes!
"What?"
"Wang Shuirong of Beijing is dead?!"
Baoyu didn't know about the things in Yangzhou, and he had no interest in asking about those trivial matters. Therefore, as soon as he heard the news, he was so shocked that he stood up immediately, and at the same time widened his eyes, and instantly realized what he had just said. Lengxiangwan' or Sister Lin were all thrown into the Guawa Kingdom.
At the moment, all he could think about was the man who had set up a colorful shed by the roadside, held a banquet, played music, expressed his condolences to Qin Keqing, and specially invited him, Jia Baoyu, to meet him, and they both felt sympathy for each other. , and also presented the figure of the dashing prince with a string of wagtail rosary beads given to him by his royal family.
To be honest, he couldn't imagine that such a good person who was easy to talk to and not bound by official customs and state structures was actually dead, and was assassinated by a strongman? What kind of strong man is he who is vicious enough to attack a person like that? !
"Baoyu! Baoyu?!"
Seeing that the other person was acting stupidly, as if some kind of stupidity had relapsed, Baochai, who was a little worried, couldn't help but reach out and pull the other person.
"Baoyu, are you okay?"
"Hello!"
"Don't try to scare me!!"
If the other party got sick while she was here with Xue Baochai, she would definitely suffer a lot and get a blank stare. Therefore, she couldn't help but started to stand up anxiously, and kept tugging at the other party's sleeves. He waved his hands in front of the other person's eyes, trying to wake him up.
However,
Before she could wake him up, she saw that her maid, Ying'er, was frightened by something. She was so frightened that she rushed in without knocking on the door, her face turned pale.
'Miss! Miss! '
'Something terrible has happened! Something really big happened this time! ! '
Ying'er, who rushed in, didn't even care about the stupid Mr. Bao on the side. She just glanced at him and then shouted loudly to her girl in a cry that was about to make her cry immediately. Xue Baochai cried.
"Ying'er?"
"Don't be anxious, tell me quickly, what happened, is it my brother who got into trouble again?"
In Baochai's view, she really couldn't think of a reason why her maid Ying'er came back so anxiously and embarrassedly to report the news, except that her brother who was causing trouble all day ran out and caused big troubles. .
If that was the case, then she would have to quickly go to the main courtyard of her aunt's house to call her mother back to discuss countermeasures.
"It's not Master Pan!"
"It's Miss Lin! Something big happened to Lin Daiyu!!"
It would be okay if Master Xue Pan really went out to cause trouble.
Because in that case, Ying'er will definitely not be so anxious. In her opinion, although their Mr. Xue Pan is uneducated and idle, he will never cause too much trouble. At most, It's just beating some people to death for the sake of grabbing women. The Xue family always has a way to deal with it.
However, this matter now is really going to poke a big hole in the sky, and no one can fix it! !
"!!"
"Ah? Something happened to Miss Lin?!"
Baochai was stunned. She had just told Baoyu about Sister Lin. Why did Ying'er come immediately to report the news? Is it possible that her mouth is specially designed to say good things are not effective, but bad things are particularly effective?
"Sister Lin?"
"Sister Lin!!"
"Sister Ying'er, tell me quickly, what happened to Sister Lin, what happened to her?!"
There is no doubt that my sister Lin is many times more important than Prince Beijing, whom I have only met once! Therefore, when Jia Baoyu came to his senses after hearing Ying'er's words, he quickly completely forgot about the ghost prince who was not bound by the official customs and the state, and was sympathetic to him, and turned to grab him He grabbed Ying'er's arm and asked about Lin Daiyu.
"Nothing happened to her! But she got into big trouble!"
After taking a breath, he ignored the pain in his arm as he broke away from Mr. Bao's grasp, and instead said with a tigerish face:
"I heard that Miss Lin killed many people in Yangzhou, and now it has happened!"
"Just now, the inner court sent two hundred inner court guards and three hundred Jinyi troops to surround our Ning and Rong mansions!"
"So the old lady sent out a message, asking all the ladies, daughters-in-law and nephews in the family to go to her side. Go now!!"
Ying'er almost said the matter in a tone of sorrow and fear that she was about to cry. Then, she saw that the faces of both her young lady and Mr. Bao were changing. At the same time, they were all frightened and turned pale.
"Lin, sister Lin killed someone in Yangzhou?"
"this……"
"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!"
At this moment, Jia Baoyu, who had just recovered from his daze, fell into that stupid state again...
However, compared with just now, his face was much uglier now. Obviously, while feeling incredible in his heart, he was also very frightened.
"!!"
"Quick! Ying'er, there's Xiren, grab him quickly, let's go to the old lady's place now!!"
Xue Baochai, whose face was also frighteningly ugly, finally regained a little bit of her composure. Therefore, while subconsciously twisting the silk handkerchief in her hands, she did not forget to look at Ying'er and the person who had just been chasing her. Said the attacker who ran in.
At this moment, Baochai knew that the Jia family and their relatives who had taken refuge in the Jia family were really going to cause a huge disaster...
————————
Lin Daiyu, Jia Lian and others who were far away on the waterway between Su and Yang must not know what happened at the feet of the Emperor of Jinling. Therefore, their sailboat was still leisurely sailing upstream, preparing to pass. Yangzhou, which left Daiyu with pain and bad memories, turned to the river and rushed back to Jinling, which was more than 300 miles away.
“….…”
At this time, Lin Daiyu, who was dressed in white plain clothes and with a white headband still wrapped around her hair, which represented a sense of filial piety, was hugging her little bear and standing silently on the bow of the boat, thinking about things.
Now, her father's coffin has been buried in his hometown of Suzhou, and all arrangements have been completed, so they are now on their way back to Jinling. From today on, she will really be alone. Her grandmother and uncle and aunt can only take care of her for a while. From now on, except for Little Bear and Snow Goose, she will probably have no one to truly rely on. The person or thing...
However, it was rare that Daiyu didn't feel much hesitation in her heart at this time?
Because the incident in Yangzhou has already let her know that she is not an ordinary person, or it can be said that she is no longer an ordinary person. She now has the ability to choose her own life, whether she chooses to continue to stay in Rongguo Mansion or go to Elsewhere, nothing can stop her!
And all these changes are just because she has been practicing for less than two years. As long as she continues to work hard to practice swordsmanship and cultivate immortality, one day, she will be able to transcend the world like Xiao Xiong said. Beyond this world, on top of all living beings?
What kind of scene it would be like when the time came was something she never dared to think about at this moment, but he was looking forward to it very much!
"Well?!"
"That is……"
Suddenly, on the waterway that was about to reach Yangzhou and was about to change its way to the river, Lin Daiyu discovered at a glance that for some reason, there were hundreds of officers and soldiers in uniforms setting up barriers there. There are also several small boats connected sideways, blocking the originally not very spacious waterway. At the same time, there are many armored sergeants with bows and arrows on the shore, waiting to inspect passing ships?
"!!"
"Little Bear! They...they are not coming for us, are they?!"
Wearing a white plain dress, standing on the bow of the boat in white clothes and belt, Lin Daiyu, who was slim and ecstatic even at only eleven or twelve years old, was frightened after seeing the scene in the distance clearly. De exclaimed and quickly subconsciously asked the little bear in his arms.
Because that night, under the command and instigation of Xiao Xiong, she did some big things that she had never dared to think about. Moreover, her psychological quality was still poor and her experience was seriously lacking. Now she was even more sensitive to the sergeants who were inspecting her. So, Daiyu almost ran to the cabin to hide.
"..."
(lll￢??￢)
It’s not mentioned, it’s probably?
However, Tibbers is not worried! In its view, there were only a few hundred soldiers on its left and right, not to mention its demigod, Mr. Tibbers Bear, and probably even Lin Daiyu, the shoveler who had only fought one actual battle but killed all his enemies in one night. They can all be dealt with easily, so it doesn't think it's too troublesome.
"Little Bear!"
"Come on, what should we do now?!"
When I first took revenge, I didn’t think much about it at all. I just let Little Bear lead the way, and then I did what the other party said. Although there were a few fights during the period, I didn’t think much about it at all, and my heart was completely dominated by resentment. Daiyu's Daiyu simply completed that important matter in a daze.
However, she doesn't regret it much now. She did it very secretly that night. Except for Xueyan, even cousin Lian didn't know that she had gone out... So she thought that the incident was just that. It had passed, and she had clear thoughts in her mind. She was preparing to gradually forget about that incident, but how could she have imagined that such a change would happen now?
"What else can we do? Why don't you quickly go to the cabin and get your sword?"
"Ben Xiong heard it vaguely. They seem to be looking for a female gangster named Lin Daiyu. Who do you think they are looking for?!"
(●￣(??)￣●)
It's so stupid to ask it about such a trivial matter!
In Tibbers' opinion, if it were the bad little master of his family who would have thrown a few fireballs at someone who dared to block the road in an aggressive manner, how would he have so many worries?
"ah?!"
"But, but! They are officers and soldiers, how can I do that?"
Although Daiyu is still a little ignorant and unsophisticated, she also knows that killing an official openly is tantamount to rebellion, and Ling Chi will be punished!
But now, when the secret thing she did that night was discovered, this little bear didn't give her an idea quickly, but dared to instigate her to resist with a sword? That kind of thing was really something she had never thought about or even dared to think about!
"Are you just happy to be caught by them?!"
??????????
Although he didn't know what went wrong between him and Lin Daiyu at that time, and how the other party knew that it was her who did it, Tibbs, who didn't take those people and trivial matters seriously, He asked indifferently.
"!!"
"No! I don't want to at all!!"
Without even thinking about it, Lin Daiyu almost gritted her teeth and answered immediately.
If those people were really discovered because of what they had done, it goes without saying that once she is caught, Lin Daiyu will definitely be executed by Lingchi according to the law! Ling Chi had to strip naked and drag her to the market entrance, and then cut her flesh into pieces in front of countless people. How could she be willing to do such a terrible thing?
"Then why don't you hurry back and get the sword?"
"But don't worry yet. Maybe it's just a routine inspection. It's better to ask your cousin to ask about the situation first!"
??(ψ｀??′)o
But Tibbers also knew that it was just a way for him to comfort the other person, and he absolutely believed it himself! Because now it seems to be obvious that those guys are waiting here specifically, and the target is their ship!
"!!"
"Snow Goose!!"
Daiyu, whose expression changed again and again, seemed to have finally figured it out. Feeling that she could not sit back and wait for death no matter what, she immediately left the bow of the ship. While the sailboat was still slowly moving forward to be inspected, she used her last words. He ran to the cabin as fast as he could and greeted the maid Xue Yan who had just come out to see what was going on.
Anyway, she only knows that no matter what, she cannot be caught. If they really come to catch her, then she, Xueyan and Little Bear will fight out with swords! !
"..."
???????????????
Tibbers did not follow him, he just squatted on the bow of the boat, waiting to see the reaction of the soldiers in uniform.
…
'Stop the boat! '
'Lower the sails and get inspected! ! '
As the Jia Mansion's sailboat slowly approached, an officer in Jinyi took two steps forward along the plank road with a knife on his waist. He waved to Jia Lian, the ship's boss and others who came to the bow of the ship to quickly pull over to accept their interrogation and inspection.
"Everyone!"
"My lords, this is the ship of Jinling Rongguofu. Here is our ticket number and route. We have women on board, why not..."
When the boat slowly approached, he didn't know why there was a card here, but Jia Lian had to secretly say that it was troublesome, so he smiled and jumped onto the pier. While taking out his relevant documents, he also did not forget to put the card in his hand. A piece of silver was thrust towards the other party.
Jia Lian knows very well that the king of hell is worse than the devil. Moreover, their big ship not only contains women, but also a lot of property of the Lin family. If these soldiers see it, it will be a big or small thing after all. Therefore, it is better to deal with it directly, let the other party quit before getting into trouble, get some drink money and let them go as soon as possible.
"!!"
"Rongguo Mansion? Female relatives? But they took the boat of Lin Daiyu, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the salt censor?!"
However, what surprised Jia Lian was that when the other party found the route and ticket number, he did not take the ingot of silver. Instead, he asked him a question in surprise.
"this……"
"Exactly! I don't know..."
Jia Lian responded, and when he was about to ask, he saw a junior colonel walking over with an uncertain expression, pointing to their ship and saying to the officer in uniform:
'grown ups! '
'You see? It's the little white bear, right? ? '
'Also, my subordinate just saw a woman in white running into the cabin...'
"!!"
"That's right, this is indeed the road leading to Jia Mansion in Jinling!"
"Brothers, today is the day to get promoted and make a fortune! Come to me and capture them! When others enter the ship, they must capture the imperial convict Lin Daiyu alive for me!!"
"If others resist, they will be killed without mercy!!!"
Finally, after checking here for many days, the officer who finally found the target suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist with a flash of eyes, and smiled on his face. Jia Lian's neck suddenly became stiff.
'Kill~! '
'Catch the thief and achieve meritorious service! ! '
'Whoever catches the imperial convict Lin Daiyu will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! ! '
'Kill! ! ! '
At the same time, a group of brave and brave soldiers in uniforms also held the spears, spears or daggers in their hands, and rushed forward, shouting and killing, and jumped onto the deck of the sailboat.
"Oh haha~!"
(°??°〃)
have to!
At this moment, Tibbers, who was standing behind Jia Lian and watching the fun without running into the cabin, knew without thinking too much: the assassination operation that he thought was seamless that he took Lin Daiyu to do that day was indeed exposed, and the other party was It’s for it and Lin Daiyu!
However, these guys didn't seem to know how powerful Tibbers Bear was, and no one thought about catching it first. Instead, they just jumped over it and rushed towards the cabin?
'! ! '
'Uh ah ah~! '
'you! ! '
'Wow~! '
Bang~!
Boom~! Plop~! !
Plop~!
Soon, with screams and screams, everyone outside heard screams and screams, and then rushed into the cabin just now. Before they could make any noise, they rushed to the cabin further down or on the second floor. The sergeants in golden uniforms screamed and flew backwards, falling directly to the deck or directly into the river.
Without exception, their hands have been scratched by sharp weapons, so that apart from screaming in agony, they are completely unable to hold the weapons in their hands?
Immediately afterwards, two little girls who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, but were tall and graceful, rushed out from the cabin holding daggers, and followed the two white clothes moving around. The light of the dagger flickered, and soon everyone on the shore was dazzled. When they came to their senses, the dozen soldiers on the deck of the ship were already screaming, holding their wrists and falling to the ground. on deck.
'! ! '
'quick! Shoot the arrow! No matter life or death! ! '
Seeing that the opponent was so fierce and lost more than twenty of his men in one fell swoop, the officer felt that it might be difficult to catch him alive. He made a quick decision and resolutely issued new orders to the dozens of archers on the shore.
Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
??????????
In an instant, arrows rained down like swarms of arrows, shooting directly at Lin Daiyu, Xue Yan, Xiong Xiong, the bewildered boatmen on the deck, and the wailing and groaning soldiers lying on the ground...
"!!"
"Xueyan! Go deal with those archers!!"
Seeing the arrows raining down, Daiyu screamed at Xueyan, and her whole body instantly turned into a white light. While knocking away countless sharp arrows, she fiercely aimed at the man on the trestle. The officer pounced! Because at this time, the opponent's sword was still lying across the neck of her cousin Lian, who seemed to be frightened, and was about to be wiped off?
