"That's the porthole where the slops and sundries are poured out of the kitchen." An Shaohua explained in a low voice, opened the window and stretched out his head, it was dark and there was nothing.

Cai Zhongkang asked repeatedly: "Did you see it?" "Did you hear it?"

An Shaohua waited for a while, his eyes adapted to the darkness, the front was still dark, there was nothing, and he couldn't hear anything.Looking down, the surface of the water is not far away, An Shaohua stretched out his hand, but couldn't reach it.This window is no more than two feet away from the water, An Shaohua thought.

"Brother Cai, the three of you and I heard someone exclaim, why did you come here alone?" An Shaohua walked towards Cai Zhongkang step by step.

"I..." Seeing An Shaohua's expression, Cai Zhongkang's voice became softer and softer: "I heard that it was Cai Tong's voice, didn't I ask him to pour water, I saw you running outside, and I couldn't catch up , I thought about going to the kitchen to save him.”

"You know we're going in the wrong direction, why didn't you stop us?"

"I don't know that you are going in the wrong direction, and I don't know which direction it should be. I... I didn't think about anything at the time!"

An Shaohua stared at Cai Zhongkang, and found that his expression did not seem to be fake, so he believed what he said for the time being.

"What did you see? What did you hear?"

Cai Zhongkang took a ladle, scooped water from the urn, rinsed his mouth, and drank a few gulps to suppress his nausea.Only then did I speak slowly.

He chased here, but the lights were bright but no one was there.Seeing a porthole, he opened it, and saw a white figure floating not far away, making a sound like whimpering or singing.At this moment, a woman fell from the sky and landed in front of him. Her face was covered in blood, her eyes were open and her mouth was open. She looked very familiar.

"Familiar?"

"I don't know if it's because of our chat, but I look at her a bit like Xiaoyulou."

"Xiaoyulou?" An Shaohua repeated slowly.

"More than that! She was covered in blood and mottled, floating in the air, and smiled at me! She was missing a few teeth! Eyeballs...eyeballs...vomit..."

Cai Zhongkang threw up again holding the swill bucket.An Shaohua and Gu Yu looked at each other, which made Cai Zhongkang vomit like this after just one look. The situation must be very cruel.Reminiscent of Xiaoyulou's deed of sale that I saw during the day, Qiufen said that I saw thirteen small sedan chairs on the shore, but I couldn't find them anywhere on the boat.And Cai Zhongkang always heard someone crying, and the dead person he saw suspected to be Xiaoyulou...

Oops!

It is not too late.

After Cai Zhongkang was settled, An Shaohua took Gu Li to find the two Yulin soldiers he met just now.

"Those two are under the command of the Great General of the Yulin Army. One is called Wang Chun and the other is called Zhang Ao." The ship's defenses were all done by Gu Cheng, so he naturally knew most of the soldiers.

An Shaohua nodded.My elder brother is Captain Zuo of the Imperial Forest Army. He was originally a subordinate of the General, but he is also a junior teacher of the Prince, and he is half a rank higher than the General. It is said that it is very embarrassing to meet each other on weekdays.

"These two people should have a good family background, and they are very lazy."

"Huh?" An Shaohua was a little puzzled.

Gu Cheng explained that some people ring the clock as monks for a day, and some people ring the clock because they are pushed.These two are the latter.

An Shaohua frowned, and ran up: "Quick."

The two of them arrived near the deck, and there were three or five imperial guards on the deck, walking back and forth slowly in square steps, shrugging their shoulders and crossing their arms.

"Where are Wang Chun and Zhang Ao?" Gu Ling asked loudly.

"I have seen General Guide." Several people greeted the ceremony and said that just now Zhang Ao came and asked them to guard the two people on the deck, but there was not even a ghost on the deck.

Hearing this, Gu Cheng hurriedly walked towards the place where the two were tied up just now, but there was no one there.

Maybe it was Wang Chun and Zhang Ao who had already taken him back, but Gu Yu was lucky enough to walk inside without saying a word.When they found the cabin of the Imperial Forest Army, Wang Chun and Zhang Ao were dozing off and guarding Cai Tong, where are the shadows of the two bound people?I'm afraid that the two of them were lazy and lost them.

It's a shame that Wang Chun and Zhang Ao wanted to claim credit verbally when they saw Gu Zhen coming.Gu Li suddenly became angry and raised his eyes to scold others.

An Shaohua held Gu Cong back: "Liu Guang, this is not the time to get angry." Seeing that Gu Cong was still angry, An Shaohua hurriedly said, "We should save people now."

"Save someone?" Gu Li was taken aback, glanced at Cai Tong, and asked Wang and Zhang, "Why isn't he awake yet?"

An Shaohua took the opportunity to ask those two people to find the doctor, and only after sending them away did they slowly explain to Gu Li that the relationship between the deed of sale in Li Zan's hand and the thirteen sedan chairs that disappeared, Cai Zhongkang always said that it was in the cabin I heard a woman cry, and before the autumn equinox disappeared, I also said "I heard a woman cry under Mrs. Cai's bed". The piles seem to be messy and unorganized, but there has always been an invisible thread connecting these trivial things... halfway through Gu Cheng began to gather people with great fanfare.

"What did you ask someone to do?"

"Search!" Gu Cheng

An Shaohua quickly pressed his hand and said, "Liu Guang! Liu Guang! Who do you think you are? Do you know whose house you are going to search?"

"I..." Gu Li was in a hurry but he was not stupid, he quickly understood, "Then what can I do?"

"Princess, please," An Shaohua looked at Gu Cheng, his eyes filled with fear, "Search the boat."

"Can that one obediently let you search?" Gu Li pursed his lips.

"A dozen lives, so what if you can't?"

Next, An Shaohua went to beg the princess, and begged the princess to say that the servants around her were missing, and she also lost a handful of gold hairpins from the imperial court, so she wanted to search the boat.Princess Cheng'an is easy to speak, but she insists on listening to the truth.

An Shaohua had a lot of fragmentary evidence in his hands, but there was not much evidence on the table, so he could only vaguely say that he brought a few royal guards with him on this trip.A hidden guard heard a woman crying for several days on the boat, so he went to investigate, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Hearing that the emperor's hidden guards had disappeared, Princess Cheng An knew the seriousness of the matter.After pondering for a moment, she agreed. She just said that although she was higher in seniority than the third prince, she was a daughter of the clan and was married to a foreign minister. I'm afraid she might not have much face in front of the third prince.If the third prince is angered, An Shaohua and the two may not be able to escape unscathed.

An Shaohua naturally understood that as long as he had a reason to search for the ship, it was fine. Now that the princess had agreed, An Shaohua hurriedly expressed his thanks.Just after saying a few words of compliment, the princess raised her hand and interrupted: "It's important to save people, these words don't need to be said by the whole family."

An Shaohua received this kindness from Princess Cheng An, bowed deeply and left.The princess sat in the room and thought for a while, and then asked the waiter to dress herself up.

"Princess, what are Master An and the Second Young Master going to do again? Wouldn't it be good to be safe in Pingcheng? Why... so unsteady?" Qingyue, who was serving, muttered in a low voice.

"Didn't Master An say something? Someone is missing."

"It's just a secret guard."

Princess Cheng'an glanced at Qingyue, and Qingyue quickly lowered her head.

"Dark guards are also raised by parents. If we follow us, we will protect them well. Even if we die, we must have an explanation. If you die to protect the master, you must give them a sense of honor. If you are killed by someone, It is necessary to rehabilitate the deceased. If..."

Before the princess finished speaking, Qingyue immediately knelt down: "I know I was wrong, the princess is kind, it's my servant who made a mistake."

"You think for me, one thing more is worse than one thing less. I don't know. It's just that I don't make trouble, but I can't be afraid of it. If I'm afraid, the second son's temper..."

Qingyue lowered her head and curled her lips.The second son is just a restless person. If it's a good deal, he's straight-tempered. If it's not a good idea, he doesn't care about the seriousness.Probably because of growing up in the military camp, regardless of superiority or inferiority, accidents will happen sooner or later.Now the princess is determined to protect him, and she doesn't know if he will accept it or not.However, Qingyue rolled her eyes and smiled.Even if the Second Young Master doesn't appreciate it, it doesn't matter. Tell An Guogong about it later, and it will be fine for An Guogong to accept the princess's favor.

Thinking of this, Qingyue admired the princess' foresight again.Originally, he was thinking about going to northern Xinjiang, but he felt apprehensive when he saw Duke An, but now that this incident happened, the couple will get back together just around the corner.

Seeing the bursts of joy on Qingyue's face, Princess Cheng'an didn't speak, this little girl is not old, she doesn't hide anything in her heart, she has no bad intentions at all.

When Princess Cheng'an dressed up and went out, Gu Cheng had already assembled people to start searching for the boat.The third prince was sitting in the hall, drinking a cup of hot tea, and seeing Princess Shi Shiran stand up and salute, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Princess Cheng'an sat on the main seat and put on a straight face to support Gu Cheng.

An Shaohua took people to search the boat, and Gu Cheng stood in the middle of the hall, waiting for people to report back.

The bottom warehouse has been searched, no problem.

The middle layer has been searched, and there is no problem.

When one person came to repay, Gu Cheng's face became more and more ugly, but the third prince laughed. "It seems that today is a lucky day."

The princess was puzzled, so she asked someone to ask, only to find out that Gu Li had promised the third prince that if nothing could be found, he would dress up and sing for the third prince.When to sing and what to sing are designated by the third prince.In addition, An Shaohua had to kowtow to Li Zan and Cai Zhongkang to pour tea to make amends.

Princess Cheng An frowned and said: No matter what An and Gu are looking for, they are no longer on the boat.

Sure enough, they searched with great fanfare for nearly four hours, and searched every cabin more than once inside and out. In the end, not to mention the hidden guards, even a piece of clothing was not found.

After searching the boat, the third prince said that he wanted to hold a banquet on the deck.Princess Cheng'an was annoyed, but there was nothing she could do, she could only let the third prince stop in moderation, so as not to chill the hearts of his subjects.

The third prince saluted with a sneer, his words were humility, but his face was full of disdain.When I was in the wrong body with the princess, I said to Hua Xun who was beside me: "Will the monkey become a human after bathing in the monkey? Heh~"

"You! You are unreasonable!" Qingyue shouted out of breath.

The third prince tilted his head slightly, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw a seventeen-year-old girl with wide-eyed anger, flushed face, and a few freckles on her upturned nose, which looked pretty alive.

Princess Cheng An quickly reprimanded: "Kneel down!"

The third prince actually laughed.Princess Cheng'an was even more flustered, but she also knew that if she couldn't hold on, Qingyue might not be safe.Without waiting for the third prince to get angry, he quickly reprimanded: "What are you? How can you talk here? Why don't you go and see that dinner is starting? Queen Mother... Mother gave me a lot of bird's nests and asked me to Must use every day."

Qingyue knelt, she knelt, but she was even angrier when she saw the smile on the third prince's face, and when she knelt, she suddenly tilted her head.

Only then did the third prince realize that this little girl was wearing three small jade pendants side by side on her right ear, and the jade pendants jingled when she turned her head, it was really very lively.He smiled and asked, "Who is this?"

"It's just a servant." Princess Cheng'an touched the golden winged walker that was bestowed on her head, and said lazily, "Why don't you go soon?"

Qingyue kowtowed, got up and ran.

"Oh, it must be the princess's companion. It's a pity to give that old thing to Gu Shi." The third prince looked at Qingyue's back and said with a smile.
