Wen Xiaoyun quickly stood up and took two staggering steps toward the masked man in gray clothes.
From the perspective of these secret guards at the time, they would have been able to see the entire incident.
So they must know the whereabouts of the boatman boy. Because of the weird dream before, Wen Xiaoyun was afraid of something happening to the boatman.
The boatman brother is not only Yinnuo's brother, but also a kind person who volunteers to work for Yanzhou Prefecture in investigating the case.
If he was implicated in this and lost his life in vain, how should Yinnuo explain to his brothers later?
After getting Bai Ya's permission, the masked man in gray clothes dared to answer Wen Xiaoyun's words.
"Replying to Scrivener Wen, the boatman holding the boat was hit by an arrow in his left arm and deflected the direction of the bow. In the process of being sucked into the undercurrent waterfall, his head and the top of the boat's canopy were severed." The man in gray was calm. Narrated without any emotion.
Wen Xiaoyun's body couldn't help but sway.
It is indeed the worst result.
Although she still had the strength to persuade Bai Yao before, it was because there was no definite bad news about Qin Qi.
In Wen Xiaoyun's heart, Qin Qi is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also cautious and alert. He is Bai Ya's indispensable right-hand man. Such a heavyweight supporting character usually accompanies Bai Yao to the end, and will definitely not lose his life easily.
Bai Yao saw Wen Xiaoyun's pale face at a glance and immediately stretched out his hand to support her back.
Only She Pi in front of the bonfire still had a smile on her face.
He chuckled twice and stared at the cold light in the vertical snake eyes of the bonfire. "I have lived in vain for so many years. The person whose head was cut off by the steel wire knife almost became me." !”
Bai Yu ignored She Pi and supported Wen Xiaoyun as he walked slowly back to the temporary fence, "Qing Yun, you look very bad. You shouldn't stand for a long time."
The masked man in gray clothes behind him stepped away respectfully and consciously.
"I, I'm fine," Wen Xiaoyun, who sat down again, rolled her eyes with difficulty, trying to squeeze out a fine smile at Bai Yao to comfort him a little, but in the end she only squeezed out sad bitterness, "Brother Bai, don't worry, I'm just I couldn’t accept it for a while.”
She wanted to say that she couldn't accept that the boatman's brother came to help with good intentions, but he was implicated in vain and lost his life.
But she didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Because what happened to Qin Qi is also heart-wrenching. Bai Ya was already sad enough, she couldn't poke his wounds anymore.
Bai Yu looked at Wen Xiaojun's pale but pretending to be calm expression, his eyes moving slightly.
"Brother Bai," Wen Xiaoyun wiped her face, looked at Bai Yao and asked in a low voice, "I'm afraid Yinnuo is coming back too. If he finds the body of the boatman brother, he will be very angry." No. The top priority is to return to Yanzhou Mansion as soon as possible."
Bai Yu immediately understood what Wen Xiaoyun meant and said: "Don't worry, Qing Jun, Qin Qi has brought a boat. Although it is not bigger than the previous one, there are other yamen who are traveling with him to take care of Jiangzhu and Jiaoyue. How can we It’s enough for one ride.”
Wen Xiaoyun nodded, "Fortunately, there is still this ship."
As they were talking, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded from a distance. Wen Xiaoyun and Bai Yao raised their heads together, and through the gap in the fence wall, they saw a man and a horse running towards them covered in dust.
Wen Xiaoyun's heart immediately trembled, that person was Yin Nuo.
Even if she couldn't see Yin Nuo's face clearly, Wen Xiaoyun could feel the cold aura emanating from Yin Nuo's body.
Wen Xiaoyun stood up again, regardless of her physical weakness, held up the hem of her clothes, walked around the bonfire and strode towards the direction where Yin Nuo was running.
Bai Ya seemed to feel the gloomy aura on Yin Nuo's body, and stood up and followed Wen Xiaoyun.
Yin Nuo was very fast, and in an instant, he had already rushed in front of Wen Xiaoyun.
"Yin Nuo, can you—" Wen Xiaoyun stepped forward and pulled the reins of the horse. Just as he was about to ask, he saw someone carrying Yin Nuo behind him.
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes widened for a moment, and his whole body trembled.
Seeing this, Bai Yu hurriedly stepped forward and supported Wen Xiaoyun, "Jun Qing, be careful."
However, Wen Xiaoyun's eyes were always attracted to the person behind Yin Nuo, and she did not notice the white bird behind her at all.
The person Yin Nuo was carrying was not an ordinary person. Yin Nuo covered him entirely with a piece of black cloth, and only the outline of the person could be seen.
But even just a little outline can make people see that the man's movements are unnatural.
The limbs were hanging lifelessly, and the head was empty.
That was clearly the beheaded body of the boatman's boy.
Looking at Yin Nuo's face again, he saw that his face was livid, veins were popping up on his forehead, his eyes were staring straight ahead, his eyes were red, and his teeth were clenched tightly, like a wild beast that could go crazy at any time.
Even without touching his hand, Wen Xiaoyun could feel his uncontrollable trembling due to extreme anger.
"Yin, Yinnuo," Wen Xiaoyun said with difficulty, with a cry that could not be concealed, "you have to cheer up, brother's revenge is still expected from us..."
