Chapter 32 The Phantom of the Yellow River

The man next door also seemed to have gone to bed.She has encountered a lot of hardships and dangers recently, although her body is extremely exhausted, when she closes her eyes, the figure of the emperor's brother keeps appearing in front of her eyes, and she always feels uneasy and anxious in her heart. Is he safe?She felt mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter what, tossing and turning, she couldn't help but sighed lowly.

But the person next door made a sound, as if the person sat up, she suddenly became vigilant, sat up quietly, and clenched the dagger tightly.But there was no sound from that side. She waited nervously for a long time, but the man was still silent, and she let go of her hanging heart a little bit, and secretly laughed at herself for being too careful: how did the other party know that she was a woman and wanted to sleep with someone else? Turning over in the middle, what's all the fuss about.Still lie down.

Zhan Zhao finally got on the boat, according to the boss of the boat, quietly entered the cabin, and lay down early with his clothes on.But the heart is ups and downs, worrying about the person behind the scenes, and worrying about Ruier's journey, if she can't be found, what should I do?

At this time, he heard a sigh from the boat next to him, and that voice was so familiar to him!He was startled, could it be her?But when he remembered that the boss of the ship said that there was a young man living in this cabin, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he missed him too much and misheard?He almost held his breath and looked over there, but there was no more sound from there.

After waiting for a long time in the slow ups and downs of the ship, I only heard the person over there tossing and turning on the bed, never falling asleep.He was afraid of offending the other party, so he didn't make any inquiries.

After a long time, Zhan Zhao still didn't feel sleepy, so he quietly sat up, took the Emperor Zhu sword, and rubbed it lightly with his palm.There were many thoughts in his heart, thinking of the broken giant tower, the perishing Liuli, Huanzhu and Aohuan, Feng Yi couldn't help sighing in his heart, the way of heaven is impermanent, even gods and dragons are inevitable.As a mere mortal, being able to follow the adults to protect ordinary people and let them live and work in peace and contentment is not in vain.But...she...when she thought of that beautiful figure, Zhan Zhao's thin lips raised gently, where are you, you must be safe!

As his thoughts turned, Zhu Dijian seemed to feel his thoughts, and even slightly emitted a dark red light, and a gentle heat spread out, as if to comfort him.

Rui'er suddenly felt a familiar force coming, and was startled: This is... Zhu Emperor Sword!With the power of my father, and his feelings...

"Master Zhan, is that you?" She couldn't control her voice and asked tremblingly.

When Zhan Zhao heard this voice, his heart felt hot: "Ruier!"

Rui'er hastily took out a fire pocket, lightly shook it, lit the candle, and lifted the curtain.

Zhan Zhao saw that face that made him worry so much appear in front of him.It's just that after not seeing her for a long time, she became even thinner, and there was no blood on her cheeks under the dim light.The blue long skirt that was originally elegant and dusty was replaced by a set of men's gray coarse clothes, and the already thin body looked even more like a piece of paper.But the whole person is still beautiful and refined, suddenly not like a person in the world.

Rui'er looked at Zhan Zhao, she didn't expect him to be safe, she was surprised and happy, she had already arrived in front of him before she knew it, stared into his eyes, she had thousands of words, but she couldn't say a single word.

Zhan Zhao thought about Ao Huan's matter, and was eager to tell her that going to Dezhou was a trap, but he was afraid that she would be sad when he knew that his brother had passed away, so he couldn't help hesitating.

Rui'er saw the hesitation in his eyes, and immediately thought about her elder brother in her heart, and asked, "My lord, can you enter the trapped dragon pool that day? Have you seen my elder brother? And who saved me?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Zhan Zhao's complexion sank, and he said slowly, "Rui'er, the Texas side is probably a trap. Your brother has... died."

"What... what?" Although she had a premonition in her heart, she still felt that the sky was dark for a while, and she couldn't stand steadily. She hurriedly supported the table to stabilize her body.

"That day I entered the trapped dragon pool and helped your brother pull out the Dragon Locking Sword. Your brother saw that you were seriously injured at the time, so he gave you his blood. At that time, Feng Yi suddenly appeared, and I fought hard with him for a long time , your brother also fought with him. In the end, Feng Yi lost and was killed by your brother." He paused, feeling a bit speechless, but saw her eyes wide open, looking straight at him, so he had to continue Said: "But before Feng Yi died, he spread the 'Six Star Blood Formation' around the Kunlongtan. Before he died, he activated the formation to let everyone be buried for him. Your brother used the remaining power to open it for us. After opening the passage, let me and you go back to Jiuyou, but he himself stayed in the trapped dragon pool."

"Back to Jiuyou, we were swept away by the storm of destruction in Longtan. I was taken back to Kaifeng by Master Shikong. He told me that you might be in the Yellow River, so I left Kaifeng to look for you along the Yellow River."

"Prince Long is upright and awe-inspiring, and he sacrificed his life for benevolence, which is admirable." Before he finished speaking, Rui'er was already in tears, choked up a low sob, and fell down slowly as soon as his body softened.

Zhan Zhao hastily hugged her, feeling heartbroken, he gently picked her up and prepared to put her on the bed.At this time, the boss of the boat suddenly opened the door and barged in: "My lords, the sky is getting brighter, and breakfast is ready, so..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhan Zhao holding Rui'er in his arms, His eyes widened in surprise, and he froze at the door.

Zhan Zhao's face was hot, but he still said calmly: "Understood, you go." The boss of the boat came back to his senses, turned around and left, and muttered to himself: "Although both of them are handsome, But they are all men, could it be that "sleeve-broken addiction"..." Although the voice was small, it reached Zhan Zhao's ears word for word.

Zhan Zhao's face flushed red, but he didn't care too much, and gently put Rui'er on the bed.Fortunately, not long after, Rui'er slowly opened her eyes, still filled with grief, with big drops of tears constantly overflowing from the corners of her eyes.The elder brother who loved and protected him since he was a child died like this, and saved himself with half of his blood before he died...

She kept thinking about it, couldn't help crying again, Zhan Zhao stood by silently, with a heavy expression on his face, seeing her crying hoarsely, he felt very sad, so he wanted to comfort her, Before the words came out, I felt the ship suddenly bumped, and then shook violently again.There was another faint shout on the deck, as if something had happened.Zhan Zhao was startled, now that he was on the Yellow River, could it be that person came to provoke him again?

At that moment, he held the sword tightly, got up and walked out of the cabin.Rui'er still didn't realize it, crying with tears in his eyes, until he walked out of the cabin door, he realized that the ship was bumping violently, he immediately regained consciousness, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and followed him out.

When they got to the deck, the two of them found that the huge waves rolled over the vast river, which was truly frightening.The captain of the ship and a few sailors were nervously steering the bow of the ship as if they were facing a big enemy. When one sailor saw the two coming up, he hurriedly shouted: "Those two, it is very dangerous on the deck now, go back to the cabin!"

Just as Zhan Zhao was about to answer, he saw a huge jet of water rising from the river out of nowhere, with several people hugging each other.And several large whirlpools were formed around the water column. Where have everyone seen such a scene?A timid person shouted in fright: "Oh, my God, this is going to be a dragon!"

The boss of the boat looked ashamed, he felt that a big whirlpool was slowly attracting the hull of the boat, and he was shouting loudly, directing everyone to turn the rudder, adjust the sails, and desperately drag the boat away from the whirlpool. Follow orders and sweat profusely.

Rui'er looked serious, and said to Zhan Zhao in a low voice: "My lord, this scene is strange, I'm afraid it was done by people from the Shui tribe." Before he finished speaking, the jet of water exploded, and the water splashed in all directions, many of them landed on the boat .It was as if a torrential rain had fallen on the deck, and everyone’s clothes were drenched. After everyone wiped off the water droplets on their faces, they were surprised to find that the blasted water column was much shorter, only ten feet left, and above the water column, there was Standing a tall and graceful image, like a mirage.

The woman had towering temples, long eyebrows straight into the hairline, bright eyes and gazing, wearing bright pearls and jade ornaments, elegant robes, like a fairy.It's just that the figure is slightly blurred, as if separated by a layer of mist.Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Zhan Zhao and Rui'er were also shocked, this stunning woman was the Concubine Luoshen Mi whom she had seen in the Water Mansion!

That "Concubine Mi" lifted her sleeve lightly, covered her cherry lips slightly, and smiled brightly at everyone on board, her eyes rolled like autumn water, she was full of tenderness and sweetness, everyone almost held their breath.Hun didn't realize that the boat was being pulled into the deep whirlpool rapidly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhan Zhao hurried forward, grabbed the captain of the boat by his collar, and yelled: "Boater, set sail!" fall off danger.

But it was too late, all the sailors tried their best, the boat still slowly sailed towards the whirlpool, and gradually the hideous rock exposed in the center of the whirlpool could be seen.The beauty's smile became more and more charming, she lightly stretched her jade arms, and waved slowly, as if she wanted to draw everyone into the endless abyss.

Rui'er walked up to Zhan Zhao quickly, and said, "This is for us. If we stay on this boat, the whole boat will be ruined." Zhan Zhao also felt the same, he looked at the choppy river and frowned Yan said: "Now we are on the river, how do we get out?" Rui'er asked: "Is Aoshuang there?" Zhan Zhao nodded and said: "I will store it in the cargo hold." Rui'er frowned: " Then it will be easy for us to get away."

After finishing speaking, he blew a whistle, but before the sound fell, he saw a white shadow rushing towards him, it was Ao Shuang, Rui'er greeted Zhan Zhao when he saw this, "Young master, get on the horse!" Zhan Zhao jumped up, and then Reaching out to pull Rui'er onto the horse, the two of them grabbed the reins tightly, and Ao Shuang shot out like an arrow.

In an instant, Aoshuang arrived at the ship's side, and it didn't slow down at all, with its four hooves retracted lightly, it still rushed straight like a whirlwind, and with a light jump, it reached the surface of the water.However, Aoshuang saw that his body was still standing on the water surface, he raised his head and let out a long hiss, and galloped quickly on the water surface!

Zhan Zhao felt dazzled for a while, he didn't expect Aoshuang to be able to run on the water surface, Rui'er whispered behind him: "Aoshuang is not an ordinary horse, it uses magic to condense the sea spirit." Pointing Aoshuang put her head on the purple jade bridle and said, "That's Jushui Jue, so Aoshuang can walk on the water as usual."

As soon as the two of them got into the water, the pretty face of "Concubine Mi" showed a slight surprise, but the surprise quickly disappeared, seeing Ao Shuang quickly rushed to the edge of the river embankment, jumped up the river embankment .She smiled again, and with a light wave of her hand, her figure quickly disappeared.The water column on the river gradually calmed down again, and the vortex gradually disappeared, and the boat was out of danger.

The two of them looked back at the river, and there were still huge waves churning incessantly. Zhan Zhao took the reins lightly, and Ao Shuang trotted along the embankment.Rui'er asked suspiciously: "Since Feng Yi is dead, who is tossing underwater?" Zhan Zhao continued: "Rui'er, I was in a hurry to catch up with you, just to tell you that the man in black thought you It must be a trap to ask you to go to Texas in the name of elder brother. But I don’t know who is behind the scenes and what purpose they have, and today’s incident may also be related to it.”

When Rui'er heard him mentioning her elder brother, an unbearable sense of pain welled up in her heart again, and the circles of her eyes turned red.She tried her best to control her emotions, and said in a low voice: "Young master's words are very true. What appeared on the surface of the Yellow River today turned out to be the image of Luoshen. Could it be related to Luoshen? Then where is Qingxiao Pavilion in Dezhou? Zhan Zhao said: "Qingxiao Pavilion in Dezhou has a history of nearly a hundred years. It was originally created by Song Renqing, who was famous in the world and known as 'Gentleman Pine'. Jianghu founded Qingxiao Pavilion by himself, specializing in the collection of various editions of books. His descendants also studied literature and martial arts, and devoted themselves to reading. Many of them won the imperial examination, and the Song family has now become a scholarly family. Remember the name of Song Renqing, now the Song family is unknown."

The two pondered for a while, but they couldn't figure it out, and they fell silent for a while.

At this time, a large number of people appeared on the side of the road, all of them with sad faces, carrying the old and the young, and carrying luggage, slowly heading west.Both of them were surprised, Zhan Zhao got off his horse, walked up to an old man, cupped his hands and asked, "Old man, may I ask where are you going with so many fellow villagers?"

The old man looked gloomy, and said: "Master, we poor people are all fleeing." Zhan Zhao asked: "Fleeing? Where is the old man from, and what happened?" The old man said: "We are all ordinary people. People from Yin County, the embankment of the Yellow River broke two days ago. Unfortunately, I don’t know how many people fed fish and shrimps. Dozens of villages by the river were all destroyed. Those of us who were not drowned in the water had to run for our lives gone."

Rui'er was startled: "It's autumn now, the flood season is over, how could the embankment burst?" The old man said angrily, "I have to ask God, who knows that the solar terms are already here, and the Yellow River is still full. The people in the village and the people are not alert, and when the embankment collapses, it will be too late to escape." After saying this, he cupped his hands, returned to the ranks of the people, and staggered away.

The two looked at each other, their hearts sank, and they also thought of something at the same time: Could it be that the sudden burst of the Yellow River is related to the image of Luoshen that appeared on the Yellow River today?

Rui'er said: "My lord, there must be something wrong here, let's take a trip to Dezhou." But Zhan Zhao's face showed a look of unbearable: "Rui'er, your journey has been very hard. I don't know if the trip to Dezhou will be successful. How dangerous. Just let me go, you go back to Kaifeng first, and wait for news from me in Kaifeng mansion."

Rui'er shook his head, and said: "This person is targeting me. The former sent Yasha to intercept me on the road, and then lied to me to go to Dezhou in the name of my brother, but I didn't expect that the son found me. Seeing that the conspiracy was revealed, he went to the Yellow River If this person is indeed from the Shui tribe, then it may be related to the Yellow River breaking the embankment, if I don't go, how can he give up?" Zhan Zhao knew that her words were all reasonable, and it was difficult to argue, so he had to leave all the way.
