"you're awake?"
The woman holding him was frightened when she heard the sound and pushed Xu He away.
"me……"
"It was you who kept screaming when you were in a coma, so I..."
Xu He felt dizzy and his forehead was hot.
The so-called Prince of Hell getting a daughter-in-law is pure nonsense. If you open your eyes, you will still face embarrassment.
In fact, the moment he saw the woman, he knew that he was not dead.
"Is there any water?" Xu He had a headache and a sore throat.
"Wait a minute!" Upon hearing this, the girl stood up and walked towards the river.
Because the pink skirt was soaked by the river water and clung tightly to her body.
Only then did Xu He see her figure clearly.
With a height of 1.7 meters, she should be considered outstanding among women of this era.
What a good figure! This girl is really blessed by God.
The flesh was growing where it should be. When the wind blew, the girl shivered. The tight-fitting dress could no longer cover her figure. The tops of her straight legs trembled slightly as if following the rhythm of the wind, which was very... ...Run, someone...the nasal cavity is warm.
When the girl ran back quickly with water in her hands, the front was even more...
"Mr. Xu, why do you have a nosebleed?" the girl exclaimed.
Xu He hurriedly wiped his nose: "Don't panic, don't panic, it's just that you've caught the cold..."
Seeing this, the girl quickly put the catkins to Xu He's mouth. Xu He lowered his head and took a sip. The feeling of cutting his throat finally got better.
He turned around and looked around, and found that the place they were on was the same sandbank where the Zhou Futaimen were.
The girl followed Xu He's gaze and looked around. She shivered with fright and unconsciously leaned towards Xu He.
It turned out that the sandbank at this time had been stained red with blood, and countless corpses were lying on the ground. The death was extremely tragic.
I guess it was the crime committed by the gang of thieves just now.
Seeing so many dead people at once made Xu He feel a little upset in his stomach, and he could only turn his head and stop looking at them.
"Girl, how do you know my surname is Xu?" Xu He expressed his doubts.
The girl glanced at him secretly, lowered her head and whispered: "My father's surname is Feng!"
Xu He was shocked when he heard this. He remembered that Xu Dai invited him to Huibin Building that day. When he was downstairs, Qian Jizu once told him that he came with Fengfang, and one of the female family members was arranged next to their box.
"The girl's maiden name is Xiaozhu?" Xu He once heard Xu Luan mention it, so he tried to ask.
Feng Xiaozhu's face turned red when her maiden name was found out by a man she had only met twice. She lowered her head and nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Xu He frowned and said, "Why are you here? Where is Uncle Feng?"
Feng Xiaozhu endured the shame and told the whole story.
It turned out that after Fengfang met Xu He that day, he was very dissatisfied with Xu Dai, but he also wanted to ask Xu Song for help in saying something nice to Qin Yan, the chief minister, and find a noble official, so he kept putting up with it. .
Two days ago, he met Xu Song from Kong Huaitang. He didn't know what news he got. He came back radiant and left Xu's house that afternoon.
Before leaving, he arranged for two old family members and a maid to wait on Feng Xiaozhu as he slowly walked northward by water.
I happened upon this when I was passing by Dong'anji.
Her family members and maids tried their best to protect her, but they were killed by thieves. She panicked and waded through the water to escape, and then met Xu He.
"Then what happened to the last thief..." As soon as Xu He said this, he saw a short knife beside Feng Xiaozhu.
The style of the short knife was particularly familiar. It was the one held in the mouth of the first thief killed by Xu He.
Xu He was a little surprised.
He clearly told her to hide, but he didn't expect her to turn back, pick up the knife of the first dead thief, and finally save himself.
Thinking of this, Xu He couldn't help but look at Feng Xiaozhu twice. He really didn't expect that Gu Liang, who blushed even when he spoke, was so courageous and dared to kill people after turning back.
At this time, Xu thought of something terrible, and Feng Xiaozhu's body, which was already shaking due to the cold, shivered even more.
Seeing this, Xu He stood up and rummaged through the baggage scattered on the sandbank, found two sets of men's clothes, and handed one set to Feng Xiaozhu: "Miss Feng, put it on quickly, don't freeze!"
Feng Xiaozhu took the clothes and held them in his hands with some embarrassment.
The reason I hugged Xu He just now was to save people.
But the sandbank we're on isn't that big now. Do we have to change clothes in front of a man?
Fortunately, Xu He found two wooden sticks and built a screen with the clothes he found.
When Feng Xiaozhu saw this, he blushed and hid and changed his clothes.
When the two of them had just finished cleaning up, they suddenly discovered that the edge of the reed marsh in the distance suddenly caught fire.
Xu He looked solemnly and said: "The two thieves who were left on the ship just now didn't get off the ship, right?"
Feng Xiaozhu nodded, his shyness disappeared from his brows, and he said very calmly: "No, they yelled and scolded for a while and then there was no movement!"
"By the way, when I was taking you through the water towards the sandbank, I vaguely heard the man saying [it will be too late if you don't leave] and [we must reach Baoba tonight]!"
Xu He nodded when he heard this. At that time, the girl must have seen that she was too cold and couldn't soak in the water, so she dragged herself to the sandbank to find a way to keep herself warm.
etc.
"Bao Ba? Did the thief say Bao Ba?" Xu He said solemnly.
Feng Xiaozhu's beautiful oval face nodded slightly and looked at Xu He with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong!" Xu He said anxiously, "The thief's target is not Hailing County at all!"
Xu He forced himself to calm down and analyze the matter.
When he was in Dong'an Town, there were thieves on a salt boat. He thought the thieves were heading for Hailing County.
But Taixing had just been defeated a few days ago, and all the nearby states and counties were very vigilant. As long as the thieves had brains, it would be impossible to attack the states and counties with hundreds of people now. Even if the guardsmen and township warriors were not strong enough to fight, they would be enough to defend the city.
Therefore, in fact, the purpose of this gang of thieves is actually the Baoba Salt Inspection Institute.
This place is responsible for approving salt imports, and every salt import must be weighed and taxed here.
In the Lianghuai Salt Industry, the imperial court established a total of two inspection offices, one was the Huai'an Yan Salt Inspection and Inspection Office, and the other was the Hailing Baoba Salt Inspection and Inspection Office.
These two locations can be said to be the most important salt tax reserves for the Lianghuai Salt Industry.
If Bao Dam is breached, half of the Lianghuai salt tax from the 35th year to now will be lost!
My county magistrate teacher couldn't deal with such a big matter. If something happened, he would have to be dismissed from office and imprisoned.
Thinking of this, Xu He couldn't stay any longer: "Miss Feng, hurry up, let's get out of here first."
Just when Xu He was thinking, smoke was already billowing from the reed swamp in the distance.
Xu He grabbed the sword and staggered to the river.
Suddenly he discovered that several of the corpses on the shore looked familiar. Looking carefully, he turned out to be the shopkeeper and his gang who had just blocked them from landing on the sandbank.
Xu He felt sad as he looked at them with dead eyes.
Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.
I didn’t expect that I hadn’t been able to board the sandbank just now. Looking at it now, I was so lucky.
After Feng Xiaozhu got on the boat, Xu He gathered his mood and hurriedly pushed in the direction where Xu Peng and others were hiding.
Unexpectedly, he met Xu Peng and others on the waterway not long after the boat sailed.
"Why did you come out?" Xu He asked.
Xu Peng was very excited when he saw Xu He: "Xiaohe, you can smell the smoke on the boat. Langzhong Hou said that if your aunt choked on the smoke, she would definitely not be able to save her. I heard there was no movement outside, so I asked the waiter to take the boat. It’s coming out!”
Xu He was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great, Brother Peng, I just happened to have something to do with you!"
After that, he threw the white rainbow sword in his hand to Xu Peng: "Brother Peng, take this sword and go to Rugao County to find a Zhishi magistrate named Wei, and ask him to persuade the county magistrate to lead troops to rescue Bao Ba from Yanyun Yamen. The batch laboratory!"
"Bao Ba? What happened to Bao Ba?" Xu Peng was a little confused!
"Quick, don't ask, just row towards the shore! The prefect Zhishi will naturally believe you when he sees this sword!"
When Xu He said this, he turned to look at Feng Xiaozhu: "Aunt Feng...Brother Feng Xian, you take the boat with my family and hide for a while!"
Feng Xiaozhu asked anxiously: "What about you?"
Xu He looked in the direction of Hailing County to the west: "I want to go to the county to report the news!"
