The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi

Also returning with Qiuyue was Liu Jingya's personal maid Cui'er.

At this time, both of them were trembling all over.

Cui'er had already lost her mind, and it was Qiuyue who managed to find her voice.

But the ferry was crowded with people coming and going, so she didn't dare to speak out. She could only get closer to Shen Nanzhi and lower her voice and said: "Miss Liu ran too fast just now, and there were so many people. Before I could get to her, I was suddenly bumped by the crowd. When I looked up again, I couldn't find Miss Liu, and even Cui'er was lost."

There were too many people and they got lost, so it was normal that you couldn't find anyone for a while.

But what made Qiuyue so nervous was that Shen Changan and others were standing at the ferry waiting for the pleasure boat!

Moreover, it is in a very conspicuous location.

With Liu Jingya's personality, she would definitely run to Shen Changan to say hello first.

But, no.

Qiuyue said with red eyes: "I asked the master, and he didn't see Miss Liu."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi felt even more uneasy.

There is only one road from here to the ferry, and there is a queue along the way, so you can only squeeze in.

If she squeezes out like Qiuyue Cui'er, it can be seen at a glance.

And, the most important thing is, Shen Changan is there, and Liu Jingya went there specifically for Shen Changan. It is impossible for her to turn back before seeing him.

If they were to talk about getting lost, Shen Changan was in such a conspicuous place that even Qiuyue, who followed him later, was found, so it was impossible for Liu Jingya not to have seen it.

Although it was late, the river bank and the pleasure boat were brightly lit.

Moreover, Liu Jingya was wearing a scarlet gauze pleated skirt today. She dressed up deliberately to meet Shen Changan, and she was very eye-catching.

But the ferry is so small that you can’t see that familiar figure anywhere.

Shen Nanzhi was extremely anxious. She was about to speak, but she saw Shen Changan following her from afar.

Shen Chang'an, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe with narrow sleeves, is so graceful that even in a crowd, people can notice him at first glance.

"Zhizhi, how come you're in the mood to go out and play? I invited you before but you refused, but you came out on your own in the end."

Shen Changan, who was unaware of the inside story, greeted Shen Nanzhi, but found that Shen Nanzhi had no interest at all and was looking around nervously.

Shen Changan's eyes swept across Shen Nanzhi's frowning brows, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Qiuyue just asked me about the crazy girl from the Liu family. What happened? But she is bothering you again?"

Although Liu Jingya was full of passion and sincerity, Shen Changan only felt disturbed and annoyed.

Although Shen Nanzhi also knew it, it was really not his fault. It was not his fault that he didn't like Liu Jingya. Conversely, it was normal to be entangled and troubled by someone he didn't like.

Shen Nanzhi understood the truth, but when he heard these words, he couldn't control himself and felt a little annoyed.

"Sister Jingya is missing!"

She frowned and looked at Shen Changan: "You know her. If you are here, she will come to find you no matter what."

But, it doesn’t happen now.

Not only Shen Nanzhi, but Shen Changan also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"I'll go find it right now!"

He turned and walked towards the ferry.

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi shook her head and said, "Don't move, just wait here. Maybe something has delayed her, or it may be a misunderstanding. If she sees you, she will definitely come to you as soon as possible."

After saying that, Shen Nanzhi turned to look at Qiuyue Asi: "There are only three pleasure boats at the ferry. The three of us will act separately, using the flag flower as a signal. Cousin Changan will be here to take charge. If there is any abnormality, he can immediately arrange for personnel."

Although Shen Changan didn't want to be entangled by Liu Jingya, he definitely didn't want anything to happen to her. After hearing Shen Nanzhi's arrangement, he even wanted to go on board the pleasure boat to search it himself, but Shen Nanzhi was right. As long as he was here, no matter whether Liu Jingya was in danger or not, she would find a way to find him as soon as she saw him.

Shen Changan had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

This is not a market, and there are no other forks in the road. There is only this one road leading to the ferry. Since Liu Jingya did not turn back and there was no one at the ferry, it is impossible for her to fall into the water. Otherwise, such a loud noise would not have failed to alarm anyone. The only possibility left is that she was taken onto the houseboat.

Shen Nanzhi assigned the tasks and said to the panicked Cui'er, "Go back to your wife first and tell her the truth about the situation, but don't tell anyone else. The rest is up to your wife."

The human heart is unpredictable, and the intrigue in the Liu family may not be less than that in other wealthy families. If there is still one person worthy of trust at this time, it can only be Liu Jingya's mother.

Cui'er nodded quickly, turned around and ran back.

After quickly making arrangements and deployments, seeing that the three pleasure boats near the ferry were about to leave the shore, Shen Nanzhi lifted her skirt and followed without further delay.

The drawbridge on the pleasure boat had been retracted, and the boat was gradually moving away from the shore.

Shen Nanzhi found an angle where the light could not be found, held his breath, pointed his toes, and placed his hands on the side of the boat.

It just so happened that she was wearing a pink gauze skirt today, which was similar to the paint color of the painting boat.

Moreover, just as this pleasure boat left, another pleasure boat came over and stopped at the shore to pick up passengers.

The two pleasure boats crossed each other, just hiding Shen Nanzhi's figure. Otherwise, her actions would have been seen by the people queuing to board the boat on the shore, which would have caused a lot of noise.

As the two pleasure boats passed each other, Shen Nanzhi took advantage of the cover of the barge across the river, grasped the boat's side with both hands, and flipped over to get onto the deck.

She had already prepared for the worst - assuming that Liu Jingya had been kidnapped.

Well, she naturally couldn't go to the pleasure boat to search openly, as that would only alert the enemy.

Moreover, the pleasure boats docked by the moat were used by wealthy young men or young ladies from aristocratic families to enjoy the scenery and cruise the river. Even if she bumped into one, she could just say a few words to deal with it, and there would be no danger.

Shen Nanzhi landed at the stern of the ship. Before she came up, she had already made sure that few people came up to this position. But as soon as she landed, she heard footsteps coming hurriedly.

But before her toes could land firmly, she suddenly heard someone shouting coldly: "Who are you?"

Not only was the man's voice cold and murderous, but his accent was also a bit strange.

There was no obstruction at all around, only the cabin in front of me.

Shen Nanzhi didn't have time to think too much. He tiptoed, turned over, jumped in through the half-open window, and in a flash he was in the shadow of the door.

She had just hidden herself when she heard the two footsteps stop at the place where she boarded the boat.

One of them said nonchalantly, "Did you see it wrong? Maybe the light flickered a little, is it worth making such a fuss?"

Another person snorted coldly, "They have a saying in Da Qi, 'It's better to be safe than sorry.' Do you think the Zhenguo Mansion is a pushover? We just captured their girl, and they may have already set up a dragnet to search for her!"

The man from before said nonchalantly, "There are so many people at the ferry today, how could they react so quickly? They will send people out to look for the person when they realize he is missing. Our master has done what he should do."

At the end of the conversation, the two of them actually smiled at each other, and that smile was so disgusting.

The meaning of their words made Shen Nanzhi's heart jump to his throat.

The person they are talking about...is it Liu Jingya?

Liu Jingya just got off the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and she called Shen Changan "cousin Changan" from a distance, so they arrested Liu Jingya instead of her? !

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Shen Nanzhi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Liu Jingya is now in more danger than she expected!

When Shen Nanzhi first heard them, he thought the two people's accents were a bit strange. Then he heard the man say "they are Da Qi", so they were not from Da Qi!

Shen Nanzhi thought of what he heard today on the beam of Lichun Hall, when the Second Prince's men mentioned that the Northern Barbarians were about to enter the capital.

Could it be that these are the northern barbarians who secretly entered the capital in advance?

Ever since Xiao Chuyun led his army into the Northern Barbarians' royal court and the Northern Barbarians surrendered and submitted to the Great Qi, the Northern Barbarians have sent envoys to the capital to pay tribute every year.

This is already the sixth year and nothing has gone wrong in previous years.

Outside the cabin, the two men walked around twice and found nothing, so they turned around and left.

As soon as they left, Shen Nanzhi followed.

This houseboat has two floors.

There are at least dozens of rooms on each floor.

The place is big, people are hard to find, and there are guards everywhere.

If he continued to investigate bit by bit like this, Shen Nanzhi would be afraid that it would be too late.

She didn't see Liu Jingya in person and didn't dare to send out a signal rashly, for fear that someone would deliberately make a feint to the east and attack in the west, or that it would alarm other people on the houseboat, which would be detrimental to Liu Jingya's situation.

Shen Nanzhi's mind was working quickly, thinking about setting a fire to lure the people inside out, but suddenly he heard the sound of a piano coming from a cabin on the second floor.

At this time, the boat had reached the center of the river.

Shen Nanzhi turned her ankle, and while the patrolman turned around, she pressed her body against the shadow under the eaves and walked towards the stairs step by step.

But before I got close, I suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream.

Immediately there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and someone fell down from the second floor, tumbling and crawling.

Shen Nanzhi hurriedly hid in the gap under the stairs close to the cabin.

Fortunately, she had a slender body, which was just enough to cover it.

boom!

Just as she hid herself, she heard a muffled sound.

A man covered in blood rolled down the stairs and hit the deck with a dull thud.

At the same time, someone on the deck spat and cursed, "Bah! These ignorant lowly people from Da Qi, it is your honor that my master requisitions your pleasure boat, and you still have the nerve to bargain with my master, don't you think you have the luck to do it!"

After that, he instructed the other two: "Throw them down, don't dirty the master's place. As for his two beautiful daughters, I will give them to you later. When you get tired of playing with them, send them and their family to the underworld to reunite."

From Shen Nanzhi's perspective, he could just see the middle-aged man lying in a pool of blood on the deck. There was a dagger stuck in his chest, right in his heart. Bright red blood was constantly pouring out of his heart. The life in his eyes had disappeared, and his whole face was as pale as paper. Only his hands were pointing unwillingly at the cabin on the second floor.

Shen Nanzhi never expected that these foreigners would commit such brutal acts in broad daylight.

This is how they treat civilians. If Liu Jingya really falls into their hands, who knows what will happen to her!

Shen Nanzhi's eyes turned cold, and hatred almost burst through her chest.

Just at this moment, the piano music on the second floor stopped.

There were more footsteps coming down from the second floor.

The servants who had thrown the ship owner overboard with such high spirits immediately bowed down.

This time the pace was slow and steady.

Shen Nanzhi hid in the gap between the stairs and the cabin. The man came down from above her head. She felt that every step he took was like stepping on her heart.

The inexplicable tension and anxiety made her hold her breath.

Because he didn't know the other party's kung fu level and was afraid that his eyes might be caught by the other party, Shen Nanzhi lowered his eyes the moment he heard the footsteps.

The lights on the pleasure boats were bright, and the wind blew from the river, causing the lights to sway.

But Shen Nanzhi's position was right in the shadows where no light or brightness could penetrate.

"What's the point of losing a good person?"

The man finally walked onto the deck.

However, because her back was facing Shen Nanzhi, and Shen Nanzhi didn't dare to look, she could only see a scarlet brocade robe out of the corner of her eye.

The man had long hair and a thin body, but he was wearing a robe that was twice as wide as his body. Even from behind he looked a bit funny.

Hearing his words, the two servants who were about to carry the ship owner's body immediately bent down and knelt on the ground to admit their mistakes.

Just when Shen Nanzhi thought that he was blaming his subordinates for their brutality and accusing them of the killings, he saw the man suddenly raised his hand.

sizzle.

Before Shen Nanzhi could see his movements clearly, he suddenly saw a red snake as thick as a bowl appear on the body of the ship owner on the deck!

Just one glance and Shen Nanzhi's hairs all over his body started to turn black!

She is most afraid of snakes in her life!

That’s not all. The red snake coiled on the boat owner’s chest and suddenly hissed twice.

Immediately, an attendant took out a dagger, cut open the boat owner's belly, took out the still warm liver, and handed it to the red snake.

Shen Nanzhi watched the red snake swallowed it in one gulp, then it twisted back to the man's feet with satisfaction. In the blink of an eye, it shrank back into his wide robe, and no trace of it could be seen anymore.

Shen Nanzhi's scalp felt like it was exploding.

Even though she had killed people with a knife before, and even though her hands were stained with blood, she was still shocked and uncomfortable when she saw this scene.

Just at this moment, the man suddenly smiled and said to his followers: "Where is the person you caught?"

sizzle.

Perhaps sensing his mood changes, the red snake suddenly emerged from his sleeve.

Even though Shen Nanzhi didn't understand snake language, he could feel the excitement of the red snake at this moment.

A thought suddenly popped up in Shen Nanzhi's mind.

At that moment, her legs almost went weak.

But the attendant bowed and said, "It's right downstairs. I'll bring it right away."

After saying that, he turned around and disappeared. However, after a moment, he was seen carrying a sack out of a cabin.

When he opened the sack and revealed the person inside, Shen Nanzhi was stunned again.
