"Five thousand!"
Upon hearing the numbers, Chen Fan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Nowadays, Chen Jiagang is suffering heavy losses, and his five thousand taels of silver are the lifeblood of hundreds of people in the family to make ends meet.
How could it be taken away by people from the Holy Lotus Sect?
Moreover, the place where the Chen family hides their money is extremely secretive. Except for myself, no one in the family...
etc!
Chen Fan thought of something and looked at his daughter.
"Xirong! What's going on? Is what the prince said true?"
At this point, Chen Xirong, who had lost his soul, had some reaction. He still slumped on the ground and nodded feebly.
"Ah?!" Chen Fan screamed, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Then Chen Xirong squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "My daughter gave the money to others..."
"Xirong, are you crazy?! That's five thousand taels of silver! The whole clan is counting on that silver, why are you..."
Chen Xirong said nothing more, and collapsed on the deck in despair, motionless.
Chen Fan's old face was twisted and he held his forehead with one hand. He seemed to have fainted, but he still managed to get up. He grabbed Chen Xirong's personal maid and said seriously: "Tell me! What's going on? You and Xirong have always been inseparable. You must know this!"
The maid's face turned pale, and she trembled and looked around.
Chen Fan was furious and slapped the maid in the face: "Say! Ahem..."
When he was agitated, he coughed and coughed up a pool of blood.
The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
After Chen Fan was relieved, he continued: "If you don't say anything anymore, don't blame me for throwing you into the river to feed the fish! The Chen family cannot tolerate a lowly slave like you!"
"Master atones for his sins, master atones for his sins, my maid said!"
The maid cried in response, then looked at the unresponsive young lady on the side, gritted her teeth and said, "Master, recently the young lady has become obsessed with a girl from a brothel. She has been thinking about her all day and night... She... She... Miss, she is... The woman from the brothel was so pleased that she redeemed her life with five thousand taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present heard them clearly.
Everyone's minds were buzzing. This was even more incredible than five thousand taels of silver!
What's the meaning?
Miss Chen is obsessed with a brothel girl?
Is there any mistake?
Just say it's the young master of the Chen family, and no one will show an extremely shocked expression.
Bai Song was also stunned, looking up and down at Miss Chen's family, but he really couldn't tell that she still had that kind of hobby.
The peers around him retreated one after another and gathered together to discuss.
On ordinary days, the Miss Chen family is quite arrogant because of the power she holds. Not to mention among her peers, she also thinks highly of herself even when facing her elders.
After hearing such shocking news today, there was little discussion among peers.
The girls pointed quietly, with disgust on their faces.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I can't tell that the dignified eldest lady of the Chen family has a habit of grinding mirrors! How shameless."
"Yes, no wonder she used to like to show off like a man, and she was a hero among women. Who would have thought that it was a quirk in her heart. This Chen family's face has been completely embarrassed by her."
"Oh, you have to stay away from us in the future. When you see us, you may be thinking about our bodies."
The young men were also discussing, especially those who had pursued Miss Chen. They finally had a decent excuse, saying that it was not that they were not attractive enough, but that Miss Chen liked women and men could not get close to her.
After saying that, they each scolded each other in a low voice, humiliating the young lady thoroughly.
Only the young master of the Chen family refuted angrily: "Don't talk anymore, my sister is not that kind of person!"
Everyone is afraid of this young master of the Chen family, but now the advantage is that there are more people, but he alone cannot suppress the voice of the masses.
The young lady's discussion was just a small episode in the chaos.
The officers and soldiers on the ship, and the servants of each family, all took this matter to heart. After tonight, the matter would definitely spread, and Chen Xirong's reputation would be ruined, and the Chen family's face would be lost.
Seeing the buzz around him, veins popped up on Chen Fan's forehead. He didn't expect that today's holiday would be a disaster for the Chen family. When he stood up, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning. He couldn't speak, and he fell sideways to the ground for a moment.
The servants of the Chen family gathered around and called for help in panic, but the young lady of the Chen family still did not move at all.
The changes around him seemed to have nothing to do with it, and he still had that soul-flying attitude.
"Call the doctor! Call the doctor quickly!"
Li Zhan spoke out in person and hurriedly asked people to treat the head of the Chen family.
Ever since he heard that the people from the Holy Lotus Sect had transferred the money out of the city, he knew that he had failed tonight.
I thought something would happen at the lantern festival tonight, and all the attention was on the city. I didn't expect the people from the Holy Lotus Sect to use this night to leave the city.
The key is that they didn't know that the Holy Lotus Sect had obtained a huge amount of silver from the Chen family, otherwise they wouldn't have focused their suspicion on Bai Song.
Li Zhan is filled with regret now. Now that the thief is out of the city, he doesn't know when he will show up next time. I don’t even know how to reply to the emperor.
At this time, Bai Song had already arrived in front of the Chen family leader, took out a silver needle and gave him a shot in the back of the head.
After a spray of blood arrows, Li Zhan coughed violently and finally regained his breath.
The servants of the Chen family thanked Bai Song profusely, and then asked the master how he felt.
Bai Song just stopped by to save people and didn't care. He just withdrew from the crowd and walked aside.
Not wanting to be suddenly grabbed by the collar, he felt a strange force and pulled Bai Song backwards.
The incident happened suddenly. Before Bai Song could react, he fell to the deck.
Then I saw a Turkic face, staring at Bai Song fiercely, holding a dagger in his hand, and stabbing towards Bai Song!
Bai Song's scalp went numb, and he hugged the opponent's wrist with both hands to block the opponent's blow.
"save……"
Bai Song subconsciously shouted for help, and just after he uttered a word, another Turk rushed out of the crowd beside him, with water stains all over his body and a machete in his hand.
Could it be that he got on the boat from underwater?
That man stared at Bai Song and was bound to kill him.
But this person did not come to Bai Song's side. A sword came out from nowhere and instantly penetrated the Turkic man's heart.
Blood splashed all over the floor, and screams came from all directions.
"Turks attack!"
Someone shouted, and the scene instantly fell into chaos.
One after another, the Turks jumped onto the deck from the side of the ship. They really sneaked in from the water.
The officers on the ship drew their swords one after another and started fighting with the Turks.
Li Zhan shouted: "Don't panic! We are protected by officers and soldiers, everyone gather together."
Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers began to repeat the prince's words.
The prince's calmness indeed gave some confidence to the young ladies on board.
Everyone was moving away from the side of the ship and towards the middle of the deck.
Bai Song was fighting with the Turk, and he couldn't care about the surrounding situation for a while. He only heard Dongxiang crying and calling for the young master.
The Turkic man was extremely powerful, and Bai Song had neglected to train him. Seeing that he was about to be unable to withstand the opponent's brute strength, suddenly another sword came over and slit the Turkic man's throat.
The Turks stared at Bai Song with hatred and slowly fell down.
Bai Song took a look and found that it was thirteen.
The other party looked calm, held the sword in both hands and raised it to Bai Song: "Master, don't be alarmed, there is a villain here."
Bai Song was in shock. He wiped his sweat and looked around again, feeling a little confused.
Now it is certain that Qing'er is related to the Holy Lotus Sect.
And the three domestic slaves are so good at martial arts, and Qing'er introduced them to them. Why is Shisan working so hard to protect himself at this moment?
Obviously, Thirteen did not know what Bai Song was thinking, and just stood steadily beside Bai Song with a sword.
Not long after, two more Turks noticed Bai Song and rushed over like crazy.
The result was easily solved by Thirteen.
Bai Song didn't understand why these Turks seemed to be coming for him.
And these Turks must be related to the group that entered the city today, and wasn't the leader of that group very polite to him?
Before Bai Song could figure it out, Thirteen suddenly exclaimed: "Master, be careful!"
After saying that, Thirteen pushed Bai Song's chest. This time it was a bit urgent and the strike was very heavy. Bai Song instantly lost his center of gravity and flew out and bumped into Dong Xiang behind him. The two of them hugged each other and rolled countless times on the deck. , the world was spinning for a while and I couldn’t tell the direction.
At this time, there was a loud rumble on the water, and a huge splash exploded out of nowhere. The whole boat shook, and there were waves of exclamations and cries.
Bai Song stopped holding Dongxiang in his arms and asked about the other person's situation with concern.
Dongxiang's face was pale, but she shook her head: "Master, I...I'm fine."
Bai Song stood up again and saw Thirteen holding a sword and stepping on the side of the boat to jump into the Wei River. He stepped on his left foot with his right foot in mid-air and jumped ten feet high.
High in the night sky, there was a vague figure, and the sound of weapons being exchanged was heard in an instant.
The lantern festival fell into chaos, a fierce battle broke out on the flower boat, and blood splattered everywhere.
There was a fire in Hualou beside the Wei River, and countless people went to put out the fire.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, tourists began to evacuate, and the festive atmosphere was instantly shrouded in a layer of panic.
As time passed, the number of Turks who attacked the flower ship was not large, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. They were quickly killed by the larger number of officers and soldiers.
The deck was filled with blood and the fishy smell was overwhelming. The girls gathered together and covered their eyes, not daring to look.
At this time, Master Jiang finally arrived with his troops and apologized repeatedly in front of the prince.
This matter must be investigated clearly, and Lord Chiang immediately ordered to control the Turks who entered the city today.
Bai Song volunteered and wanted to follow and ask about the situation. He felt that the matter was a bit strange.
Just when Bai Song was about to recommend himself, he suddenly caught sight of a figure from the corner of his eye.
Bai Song stopped and looked back, and saw Miss Chen Xirong of the Chen family walking towards the side of the ship.
Bai Song felt that the picture was a bit strange and was thinking about it.
But Chen Xirong had no intention of stopping. When he reached the side of the boat, he raised his feet and climbed over the side of the boat.
"not good!"
Bai Song secretly screamed, and then shouted: "Chen Xirong!"
This shout instantly attracted many eyes, but Chen Xirong had already flipped over the side of the boat. No one had time to say anything. Under everyone's gaze, Chen Xirong rushed towards the Weihe River without hesitation!
Bai Song was confused and quickly chased to the side of the boat. His original intention was to see the situation. Unexpectedly, he stepped on a pool of blood on the side of the boat. His foot slipped and he hit the side of the boat and fell into the river.
