Gugugugu...

The river is dark, and the sound of water birds comes from the reed marsh. The river water is flowing, and occasionally fish jump out from underwater, making crackling sounds.

The occasional sound further contrasts the tranquility of the river.

The oil lamp illuminates two meters around, a small stove burns a pot of fresh fish soup and a wine gourd next to it.

The old man sat in the cabin, stretching out a fishing rod in his hand and into the dark river.

A puppy ran around the shore and had fun.

Occasionally a frog jumped on the ground, and the little yellow dog rushed over immediately.

Suddenly, the little yellow dog stood up and stared at the northwest side alertly.

The dog's mouth slowly opened, revealing its canine teeth, and a low sound came from its throat.

Woo...Wool wool...

The little yellow dog barked towards the northwest direction!

The old man in the cabin heard the sound, turned around and looked into the darkness, stuck the fishing rod on the wooden board, and landed lightly on the shore.

"Old Feng!"

An old voice came from the dark night.

The fisherman who called Lao Feng immediately rushed into the darkness and saw a huge black shadow, and a stinking smell of blood came from the same time.

"Long-legged Pan! What are you carrying? Who is injured?"

It was too dark at night and the old wind couldn't see it clearly, but the smell could tell that the person on his back was very hurt.

"President!"

Long-legged Pan replied panting.

Old Feng was shocked and asked, "Who dares to hurt the president like this?"

Long-legged Pan didn't have time to explain, and said, "Drive the boat and go to Jinling, hurry!"

Lao Feng immediately propped up a larger clutch from the reed marsh, and long-legged Pan jumped onto the ship.

Because he was carrying Ji Ba, the hull was shaken and shaking.

Lao Feng immediately stabilized the hull.

"Ah Huang! Come up!"

Lao Feng shouted, the little yellow dog ran up and jumped onto the Clippers.

The old wind pulled up the sails and flew along the river to Jinling with the night wind.

Long-legged Pan gently put down Ji Ba and sighed: "God bless you, bless the president with peace and safety!"

Long-legged Pan is about 50 years old, with long legs and very strong legs. He is obviously of amazing foot strength.

Lao Feng looked back and focused on controlling the sails.

Boating at night is very dangerous. If it weren't for the urgent situation, even if Lao Feng was a veteran, he wouldn't dare to take the boat at night.

"Old Pan, what's going on?"

Lao Feng couldn't understand why Ji Ba was so injured?

"It's all that thief Long Cheng'en!"

Long-legged Pan talked about the whole story.

This long-legged Pan is a master who escaped from the giant wood forest.

Long-legged Pan belongs to the Shadow Department and is responsible for secretly protecting Ji Ba.

When the big ship exploded in the middle of the river, four people immediately plunged into the river to catch people.

Niu Yang and Gao Nian couldn't do it on the spot. Ji Ba was sitting next to Niu Yang and was separated by a person. Although his hands and feet were broken and his stomach was cracked, he did not kill him on the spot.

The four people picked up Ji Ba and found that Ji Ba had fainted.

The four of them dared not stay by the river, they knew that Long Chen would definitely chase him.

So, they fled all the way into the giant wood forest.

When you arrive at the giant wood forest, if you don’t treat Ji Ba, you will probably return to the west.

So, the four of them set up a trap and ambushed, the doctor was responsible for the treatment, and the others were responsible for the killing of Long Chen.

They thought that the only one who chased him was Long Chen.

However, what they did not expect was that there were actually five people chasing, five of whom were masters of the Martial Emperor.

In desperation, they came up with a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Long Chen had already left the giant wood forest, but soon found something wrong and killed him again.

After being exposed, the four masters of the Shadow Department made a plan. Pan had good legs and had good feet, so he carried Ji Ba to escape.

The other three were used as bait and killed one of the men who pretended to be Ji Ba.

The three of them got away with it, attracting Long Chen's attention, and Pan took the opportunity to escape.

After leaving the giant wood forest, I ran all the way here.

Originally, Lao Feng was just a contact point here.

Unexpectedly, it became a life-saving straw.

After listening to the long-legged Pan's narrative, Lao Feng felt incredible.

"I heard that Long Chengen is lawless in his work, but I didn't expect that he would dare to attack our world!"

Long-legged Pan looked at Ji Ba who was wrapped in rice dumplings and gritted his teeth and said, "This guy is too arrogant and too cruel! I don't know what method he used to smash the big ship in an instant, and the two elders died on the spot!"

Gunpowder is new, they don’t understand at all, and they don’t know what’s going on after being killed.

"I will revenge this kind of hatred in the world! I will definitely tear that eunuch to pieces!"

Long-legged Pan cursed fiercely.

Lao Feng sighed and stopped talking, but focused on manipulating the sails and rudders, drifting down the dark river surface.

....

Nanliang, Jinling.

Yu Fuguo hurried out of the Imperial City Division, rode his horse into the palace, and arrived at Xuanji Temple.

It was already dark at this time, and there were two stone sculptures at the entrance of the Taoist temple, which were hollow inside, and an oil lamp was lit to illuminate some places at the entrance.

Yu Fuguo dismounted and quickly stepped into the Taoist temple.

Xuan Jizi and Li Jiye had just had supper and were still discussing government affairs.

"Your Highness, Taoist priest."

Yu Fuguo has seen him when he came in to pay tribute.

"Old Master Yu, please sit down."

Xuan Jizi stood up to greet him.

Yu Fuguo is now the head of the Imperial City Department, and his actual status is already very high.

Yu Fuguo sat down, and the servant hurried over to pour tea and then retreated.

There were only three people left in the room.

Yu Fuguo then spoke slowly and said, "I found out clearly that there is an old eunuch named Lao Hai in the palace."

"After the fire in the palace, Lao Hai disappeared."

"I thought this guy was burned to death, but after cleaning up the scene, no body was found."

"Later, I asked the others, and the old man said that there might be a fire in the palace, which was very suspicious."

"I sent someone to ask him, and this guy ran away."

Li Jiye felt strange when he heard this and asked, "But why did the old eunuch in the palace set fire?"

Xuan Jizi also felt strange and said, "If it were a young eunuch, he might be resentful in his heart, and it would be understandable to set fire."

"The old eunuch has been in the palace for so many years, and he must have been used to it. How could he set fire?"

Although the young eunuch was cut off, he still had hormone secretion. Sometimes he would feel uncomfortable and panic, and he would become resentful, which eventually led to arson.

This possibility exists.

But the old eunuch is already old and there is no problem.

Yu Fuguo nodded and said, "I also find it strange, so I'll find it thoroughly."

"Your Highness and the Taoist Priest will definitely not guess the reason."

Xuan Jizi and Li Jiye were waiting for Yu Fuguo to speak.
