Seeing the boat slowly sailing forward, the river was still lapping the shore rhythmically again and again. The sound of the waves was almost within my ears. I held Ping'er and forgot to walk back. I just held on to the wooden boat.

Lan raised his eyes and watched the ship sliding forward little by little, a huge dark shadow shrouding his eyes.

Ping'er also became nervous, grabbed my arm hard, and murmured: "It's almost here."

The wind on the river was strong, and it quickly dried the embarrassing tears on my face, but cold sweat broke out in waves. The pain in my heart had not disappeared, and the pain in my body came again. I couldn't help but hold on to my flat hand.

Children's hands.

He looked up at me and subconsciously asked, "Aunt Qing?"

I didn't say anything, just biting my lower lip, but I couldn't control the feeling of vomiting. I subconsciously took a few steps back and leaned against the wooden railing behind me. I heard the sailor next to me say: "I can't do it tonight."

Really, there is no sound at all."

"Yeah, even the insects don't scream anymore."

A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader came over and kicked them: "What are you talking about? Hurry up and help us, we are about to dock." After saying that, he turned around and saw me, Heping'er, and said angrily.

: "Don't get out of the cabin. Wait until the ship docks and get off the ship."

I stretched out my arms and hugged Ping'er without saying a word, suppressing the uncomfortable feeling. The boat slowly slid for a while, and then a loud popping sound came from the black hole in front.

The anchor has been launched into the water.

The hull of the boat shook, and the leader immediately called out, "Hurry up and get on board," and "Light the fire." Everyone around him hurriedly stepped forward to help. After a while, the wooden steps were put up on a trestle on the shore, and then

They turned back and said: "Come out quickly, walk around, and get off the boat quickly!"

Ping'er and I were the first to be pushed by them. When we looked back, under the light of slowly burning torches, people in the cabin also came out one by one. Everyone was cautious. I saw in a trance

Jingxu's sea green clothes appeared in the firelight, but it was not easy to say hello at this time, so we simply got off the boat.

So, I took Ping'er's hand and walked slowly over.

As soon as my foot stepped on the gate, it immediately started shaking. For some reason, my heart seemed to be hanging in the air. There were not many torches lit behind me, so I was naturally afraid of being discovered. The flickering fire illuminated a large area in front of me.

The reeds are undulating as the night wind blows, and little stars are shining.

I stopped subconsciously.

The person behind immediately said: "Come on, what are you doing?"

I still didn't move, looking straight ahead, my brows getting tighter and tighter. Just when the sailors behind me were impatient and about to yell and curse, suddenly, a cold light flew over from the front, and I suddenly hugged Ping.

As we fell down, we heard a snap, and a long arrow was nailed to the plank behind us.

Suddenly, the people following us screamed in fear.

This exclamation sounded in the silent night, and it sounded particularly frightening. The people behind did not know what happened, but they all became confused, and they all shouted: "What's wrong?"

"What are you doing?"

"Yes, there is——"

Those people were originally smuggling across the river in a private boat. When they saw the situation change, they became confused. Several people jumped directly from the boat. Suddenly, there was a sound of water and shouts.

The scene suddenly got out of control.

At this moment, many torches suddenly lit up in front, and countless people stood up from the reeds and rushed towards us.

"Get off the boat, everyone get off the boat!"

When the sailors behind me saw it, they were so scared that their feet were weak. I was holding Ping'er and didn't know what was going on, but I saw several people rushing up.

For a moment, I thought they were robbers or water thieves, but when I saw that those people were dressed in uniform, they first separated a group of people to catch those who jumped off the ship to escape, and then another group of people rushed onto the ship.

They arrested people when they saw them. Everyone was so frightened that they screamed and struggled, but they were easily subdued by those people. A man rushed over and saw me and Heping'er lying on the board of the boat, and immediately pulled us up. I subconsciously asked: "

Who are you?"

"Get off the boat! Do you have anything to ask?"

I was pushed hard by him, and he grabbed both hands and pushed me down. I heard all the sailors behind me pleading: "Master, please spare my life. I don't dare to do it anymore. I don't dare to do it anymore!"

My heart sank, but it was too late to think about it. Those people, like wolves and tigers, had already rushed up and occupied the entire ship. Those who originally wanted to cross the river secretly were so scared that their faces turned pale, and none of them dared to resist.

They were caught by those people and taken off the boat side by side. The land on the shore was wet and full of mud. After a while, the corners of my skirt and shoes were covered with mud. In such a late night, the torches flickered and the light was dim, which made walking even more difficult.

Difficult.

Finally, we reached slightly dry and solid land, and everyone was already in a panic.

We were pushed together by those people and looked at them at a loss. I subconsciously hugged Ping'er tightly. He was also frightened and went straight into my arms. I saw those people holding torches.

He came over and formed a circle around us. Everyone held a steel knife in their hands and shouted: "Be honest and stand still!"

I remained silent and looked outside the crowd.

The light from the torches here is too strong, making the surroundings look even darker. Only after paying close attention can we barely see clearly. In addition to the people surrounding us, there seems to be a group of people faintly in front of us, but none of them have lit the torches.

Standing far away, looking at us.

I watched them carefully.

These people should be the rebellious forces on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Although it is indeed against their rules to cross the river by private boat, arresting people in this way is a bit too fussy. These are just civilians who want to come over to find people or deal with private matters. There is no need for such a big deal.

Battle?

When we all stood up, the soldier who looked like the leader who rushed onto the boat turned around and ran forward. There was a low voice in the night wind. I don’t know what they said, but

I saw the soldier running back holding a torch, waved his hand and said: "Check one by one!"

What on earth is this doing?

It looks like they are looking for someone from the ship. Who are they looking for?

As I was thinking about it, I saw those people pulling people out one by one from the crowd, shining torches in their faces, looking at them, and then pushing them to the other side. After a while, more than a dozen people had passed.

At this time, they walked up to me.

I subconsciously reached out to hold the scarf covering my face, but a tall man grabbed it. When he saw me like this, he immediately said in a rough voice: "Take it off!"

I gasped slightly: "What are you going to do?"

I don't know if it's my misunderstanding, but I always feel that the purpose of these people stationed here tonight is not simple, and there seem to be faint signs of poisonous hair in my body. I can only hold on to prevent myself from fainting, let alone falling.

When the man heard what I said, he immediately became furious and reached out to pull my collar: "I told you to talk too much!"

My feet softened, and I was suddenly thrown to the ground by him.

That fall made me see stars in my eyes, and I almost fainted. The scarf that was originally tucked behind my ears also fell off, and my face was immediately exposed. Maybe it was because the night was originally dark, and the light of the torch suddenly shone down.

Several people around me screamed in fright when they saw my face: "Ah!"

"Her face, ah ah ah ah!"

Ping'er rushed over and hugged me: "Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing, are you okay?"

Just when the surroundings were in chaos, I suddenly heard a low and startled voice from a group of people not far away who had been silent: "Qing——?"

My heart moved.

That seemed to be a woman's voice.

Immediately afterwards, someone seemed to clapped their hands. As soon as the people here heard this, a few ran over. It seemed that they had received some order and dragged me up from the ground. Ping'er was so scared that his eyes were red.

, kneeling on the ground and grabbing my hand, just like when I begged someone to let him go: "What are you going to do? Let Aunt Qing go, don't hurt her!"

"You bastard, get out of here!"

The man kicked him away and dragged me forward, who was too uncomfortable to speak.

I said I was walking, but in fact my legs were dragged on the ground, like a broken sack. I didn't let go until I reached a slightly flat place, and I was already paralyzed on the ground.

Waves of nausea came over me, making me retching.

There was chaos in the back and Heping'er was crying, but here, it was so quiet that there was no sound.

There was only one sound of footsteps, walking slowly from the front.

I seemed to realize something, and I pushed myself up reluctantly. With the light of the fire far behind me, I vaguely saw that there were a large number of people here, hidden in the night. Although there were many people, I couldn't hear any breathing.

It looked particularly breathtaking, and the pair of feet that slowly walked in front of me were slender and light, and the crimson clothes almost blended into the night.

I raised my head, and a woman appeared in my blurry vision.

The firelight flickered, and one could only vaguely judge that she was young and seemed to be pretty good-looking. Her eyebrows had the unique delicacy of Jiangnan women, and her eyes were exceptionally bright, even in such a dark night.

She is——

"Who are you?"

"Are you Yue Qingying?"

I wasn't too surprised when I heard the name coming out of her mouth. Everything they had just done showed that they were looking for someone. As soon as those people saw my rotten face, they dragged me over. Obviously, they

You're looking for me.

But aren't these people the rebellious forces on Jiangnan's bank? Why are they looking for me?

Who is this woman in front of me?

I gritted my teeth and said nothing, gathering up the weak strength in my body to stand up. The woman was still looking at me, as if unwilling to say something: "Are you really Yue Qingying?"

As she spoke, her bright eyes searched my face, as if she wanted to find something of value, but she couldn't find anything on this rotten face that could make people feel better.

.She frowned, her face still showing unwillingness, and fell silent.

I asked: "Who are you? Why are you here to arrest me?"

I once guessed that the only person who could establish a force on the south bank of the Yangtze River that could rival the imperial court was Yao Lao. But how could Yao Lao's people come to arrest me like this? But if it weren't for Yao Lao's people, then I would have been unable to do so for all these years.

You haven't even crossed the river, how could you mess with them?

The woman seemed not to hear my words, but kept looking at me. After a long time, she sighed softly, as if with a hint of relief: "Forget it, I don't want to know what is so special about you."

Place."

……

What does it mean?

After saying that, she slowly turned around.
