"Master Li, what are you doing?" He quickly walked over and helped Li Wei up, "What are you doing?"

Li Wei glanced in the direction of the inner cabin and whispered: "Third Brother, now that you are here, I have a backbone. The Queen Mother is angry, you see..."

Hongshi immediately understood, "Wait a moment."

After entering, the Queen Mother had a frosty look on her face, her hands were trembling, and she was talking to Aunt Ping: "...The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, the fourth child is..." As she said that, tears fell down, "What on earth is this?"

It's worth taking such a risk..."

Aunt Ping kept rubbing the Queen Mother's back, "Just listen to Master Long Live. There must be a last resort reason. This is not just for you. Look, there are also Seventh Brother and the others."

The Queen Mother looked at the four children sleeping on the couch on one side, then at Dong Xiaowan and Zhang Qilin who were watching their noses and hearts, and finally her eyes fell on Hong Sheng, who was sitting silently with them.

Then he let out a long sigh.

Hongshi went in, knelt at the Queen Mother's knees, called "Emperor Grandmother", and then said: "Master Li Wei and Li are on the deck, let's go now. Once we leave, the Queen Mother will have no worries."

Looking at the furnishings on the ship, it was obvious that they had been prepared long ago.

The Queen Mother said angrily: "It's not peaceful, so why come out?"

Hongshi laughed: "You are the most sage. It is precisely because of the unrest that Huang Ama takes us with him wherever he goes. Isn't he afraid that if there is an eventuality, he won't be able to see it?"

The Queen Mother came from the time of the late Emperor, and she had never seen any troubles. When Hongshi said this, she understood. In the early years, the palace was not peaceful. In the early years of the late Emperor, there were several eunuch rebellions.

.This is not a rare thing.

If something happened while there were only orphans and widowed mothers left in the palace, it would be better to follow the fourth child out. At least it would be within his reach.

She patted Hongshi's hand and said, "Go ahead! Tell Li Wei to leave now."

Hongshi went out and nodded to Li Wei. Within a moment, the boat moved. Hongshi thought it was going north, but he didn't expect that the boat followed the waterway not far and turned into another branch in the blink of an eye. It was almost the same as this.

What the boat passed by was another identical boat, which raised its sails and headed directly to the north.

Hongshi squinted his eyes, as if he understood something. But he still quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Wei chuckled, "Gaoyou Lake! The scenery there is beautiful. Third brother and my servant will go to enjoy the scenery for two days, and I will escort you back to the capital. How about that?"

Not going north or south, but going directly inland.

Hongshi nodded to Li Wei. No wonder Huang Ama dared to entrust the Queen Mother and their brothers to this person. He really had some evil ways.

Early the next morning, Yangzhou City was under martial law again. The roads were cleared and everyone had to avoid them.

People who love to watch the excitement climb high and look into the distance, while monkeys look enthusiastically in the trees.

One said, "Did you see it?" That was the chariot the Emperor was sitting on. The other said, "Did you see it?" The apricot yellow one should belong to the Queen. The one next to him added, "Look, it should belong to the Queen Mother." He took the climbing chair again.

The one who was taller and with sharper eyes shouted, "The Queen is sitting with the Emperor."

Not to mention far away, just on the streets under martial law, there are so many eyes and ears hidden. You said you want to pass through here and don't let others go, that's fine, but you can't ask every household to move out. People can live there.

You can't open the door, the door is closed tightly, but it doesn't prevent you from peeking out from the crack in the door or simply digging a small hole in the wall to come out. If you are doing business, don't you have to close the door? Even if you have guests,

Just wait inside. When it's over, you can come out. Therefore, there are quite a few eyes hidden behind.

The inn that Yun Gu chose is on this street. The location of the guest room is not good. It is on the second floor and faces the street. If this is a pub and teahouse, this location is the best, and you can watch the excitement. But for an inn, this location is...

It means noisy and bad rest.

In the past, houses like this were not expensive, but this time because there are so many people who want to watch the excitement, houses facing the street can command sky-high prices.

She booked the room early and rested here last night. Although she didn't sleep well and listened to the sound of cars and people all night, she could basically ensure that no one left early.

This shows that the news did not leak out in advance.

Whether it's the Twelve Master's side or the Fourth Brother's side, it seems that they are still keeping their word.

Her heart relaxed, and she couldn't help but sneer a few times when she looked at the so-called royal pomp. Wait, wait, there will come a time when you can't show off.

Knowing that someone was plotting, Lin Yutong got on the boat and took Fourth Master to rest. Nothing would happen in broad daylight, and anything would happen at night. Now is the time to recharge!

Hong Li got on the boat and saw Hong Zhou on the boat, "Why don't you see third brother?"

Hong Zhou yawned, "I've gone to catch up on my sleep. I packed my things last night and the carriages and horses were noisy, so I didn't even get a good rest. Did you sleep well, fourth brother?"

Hongli rubbed his eyes, but of course not. I don't know if he was excited or afraid, but he just couldn't sleep.

Seeing Hong Zhou return to the cabin, Hong Li stood alone on the deck, looking at the vast river water, his heart was ups and downs!

Wu Shulai changed his lunch to dinner, but Hongli still stood there without moving.

"Master..." Wu Shulai whispered: "Eat some."

Hongli shook his head and said, "Go and have a look again to see if Huang Ama is up."

Wu Shulai looked at his master in surprise, "Master, have you changed your mind?"

Hongli closed his blue and black eyes and said, "Go!"

Before Wu Shulai could move here, the speed of the boat slowed down. Hongli's expression suddenly changed and he asked hurriedly: "What time is it now?"

This was not the time agreed at all.

Without waiting for Wu Shu to reply, Hongli rushed towards the cabin like crazy.

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong were having a meal. They had just woken up and the food had just been served. They heard the noise outside, as if several powerful eunuchs were trying to stop Hongli.

The fourth master glanced outside and served Lin Yutong some soup himself, "Hurry up and eat."

"You really don't want to be called in?" Lin Yutong took the soup bowl and meant something.

"Scream!" As soon as the Fourth Master finished his sentence, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and then the sound of the collision of blades.

It lasted for a quarter of an hour, and Lin Yutong had finished his dinner before a majestic voice came in, "Huang Ama, it's over."

Lin Yutong handed the handkerchief to Fourth Master and said to himself, this is not the end, this is clearly the beginning.

The door of the cabin opened, and there were dead bodies on the ground, with a row of people kneeling on the ground.

All of them were wearing black clothes and black pants, and their bodies were still wet and dripping with water.

Hongli looked at the fourth master with a pale face. Yun Gu pressed a dagger against his throat, and could only cry out in a low voice: "Huang Ama——"

It turns out you were already prepared.

The fourth master did not look in the direction of Hongli, only looked at the men in black who were captured alive, and asked Hongwang, "Do you know what the origin is?"

"It's not the White Lotus Sect." Hongwang gave the answer directly, "They are all hired water ghosts."

The so-called water ghosts are those criminal thieves who move secretly and make a living by robbing merchants.

"These people are also stupid. A month ago, they accepted a transaction and just said it was for revenge. They didn't even ask about the details of the person and who the person was seeking revenge. They just accepted it. They accepted it.

That's all, they gave them money to keep them in the corner, and they actually stayed there for a month..."

The man in black who was being escorted moved, leaned over and kowtowed, "...you guys really don't know what they do for a living, but the customers in this business are very generous, there is good food and drink, and there are beautiful women."

, this is a dream day for people like you, so why not agree to it? I really don’t know who she asked us to kill..."

"That's right!" Yun Gu raised her chin and put the knife on Hongli's neck with slight force. "If you let the White Lotus sect go, your son will return to you exactly as he is. Otherwise..." She chuckled lightly,

"Several ships equipped with artillery are nearby. At this distance, this dragon ship will definitely be blown up to pieces. It will not be a loss for me to die with such noble people!"

The fourth master ignored the woman and only looked at the pale-faced Hongli, "Can you see clearly?"

Hongli nodded, "Yes! Huang Ama! My son has seen it clearly."

"Do you know you are wrong?" Fourth Master asked again.

Hongli closed his eyes and said, "Huang Ama, whether you believe it or not, my son never wanted to kill his father or kill his king..."

"I know!" Fourth Master replied, "I know everything. So, you keep asking me to see you, but I never see you. I don't know how to tell you so that you can really understand. You said you saw it clearly, but

But I feel that you still don’t understand anything. Don’t be in a hurry, just take your time and watch.”

It's like educating his son.

Yun Gu squinted her eyes and smiled: "It is said that the most ruthless imperial family is the most ruthless. Now your son is really holding a knife to his neck, but you can turn a blind eye..." She clicked her tongue and looked at Lin Yutong again, "Queen

Madam, don’t forget, your son and daughter are all on the boat.”

"You don't need to remind me about this." Lin Yutong replied. When Su Peisheng asked someone to bring a chair, he sat down directly. The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes. It's night again, and the last bit of the sun's rays are gone.

The coldness followed. She shook her shoulders, and the fourth master asked Su Peisheng to get a cloak. They both dressed up and sat down again before looking at them.

Fourth Master's attention was only on Hongli. Seeing that Hongli was trembling, he asked, "Are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid!" Hongli's voice was steady, and there was really no hint of fear, "My son feels cold."

From the inside out, I just feel chilly.

Just don’t be afraid!

Fourth Master smiled and pointed in the distance, "Hongli, look over there..."

Ignoring the pain of the knife cutting through his skin, Hongli looked in the direction pointed by his wife, and then shook his head, "It's dark, and my son can't see anything right now."

"It doesn't matter if you can't see." Fourth Master was very good-tempered, "Amma can tell you slowly..."

The knife in Yun Gu's hand tightened a little more, and Hongli made a muffled sound, thinking he was scratched.

"I don't have that much patience..." Yun Gu frowned, "According to the agreed time, if I don't send a signal, then more than ten artillery pieces will fire at once..."
