The ship was ablaze. The sailors and guests on the ship were screaming and running for their lives. Behind them, a group of ferocious people were chasing after them.
"What's going on?" Song Qing frowned. His first thought was that Moqi Tan and Wan Gui knew that Taohong had failed, so they sent someone else to kill them.
However, Song Qing quickly denied this speculation. After all, Taohong and the others had been dealt with by him. How could Moqi Tan and the others know about it? Moreover, these people were killing people on sight. It was too much of a commotion.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the staircase. Song Qing shrank back into the shadows. Soon, Mr. Du's anxious voice came, "Young Madam, Young Madam?"
Receiving Song Qing's signal, Qi Fang stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"
Mr. Du's panicked voice sounded, "We don't know where this group of ferocious water bandits came from. While looting the ship, they are also killing people on sight. Young Madam, please run for your life."
Qi Fang asked curiously, "We're almost at Lin 'an. Where did these water bandits come from?"
"I don't know." Mr. Du was anxious. "Madam, please find a way to escape." Then, without waiting for Qi Fang's response, he hurriedly ran downstairs.
Although he wanted to use Qi Fang to get into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't save his life now. He didn't care if she was the Young Madam of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He informed her just in case.
After Mr. Du left, Song Qing appeared from the shadows. Looking at his panicked back, Qi Fang couldn't help but look at him. "What should we do now?"
Song Qing walked back to the window and looked at the situation below. Suddenly, his eyes focused. "Let's hide for a while."
He had noticed that among the pirates, there were two people standing boldly in the middle, smiling at everything that was happening on the ship. One was dressed in a golden rich man's robe, fair and plump, with a kind smile on his face at all times. The other was dressed in black, tall and thin, with a face that seemed to have been frozen for ten thousand years, as if everyone in the world owed him money.
And Song Qing happened to know these two people! They were the two messengers of the Island of Heroes, Zhang San and Li Si!
"Why are they here?" Song Qing's brows furrowed as he quickly realized that things were not as simple as they seemed. The Isle of Heroes had always been mysterious, so why were they acting as pirates now?
If it were any other time, Song Qing would naturally not be afraid of the Envoy of Reward, Kindness, and Punishment, Evil, who could make countless small and medium-sized sects in the Chinese plains pale at the mention of their names. Last time, they had fought against each other in the inn. Speaking of which, Zhang San and Li Si should be the ones who should be afraid of him. But right now, Song Qing had not completely cleared the poison in his body, and his qi had not recovered. He might be able to deal with normal martial artists, but when he faced elites like Zhang San and Li Si, he was definitely not their opponent.
Song Qing had also considered using the Empty City Stratagem to scare the other party. After all, the two of them had died in his hands last time. However, in the end, he still gave up on this method. Right now, the news of him being poisoned and being hunted down had probably already spread from Yangzhou. As long as Zhang San and Li Si heard about it, they definitely wouldn't be fooled by him. On the contrary, they would seize the opportunity to take revenge for what happened at the inn last time.
Hearing the messy footsteps coming from the stairs, Song Qing did not delay any longer. He grabbed Qi Fang's hand and ran to the back window. "Follow me!"
Song Qing jumped down from the window first. Right now, although he was unable to use his cultivation, his body was light. In addition, he was proficient in using his strength. A distance of one or two zhang was not difficult for him.
"Quickly jump down. Don't be afraid, I will catch you." Song Qing opened his arms and said to Qi Fang who was above.
Qi Fang gritted her teeth, but did not jump down into his embrace. Instead, her body tapped lightly, and her whole body landed next to Song Qing with incomparable grace. Her posture was many times more elegant than before.
Noticing Song Qing's astonished gaze, Qi Fang pursed her lips and smiled. "Could it be that you have forgotten that I also learned martial arts in the past? This height is nothing."
"Yes, yes, yes. Madam is a heroine among women." Song Qing also smiled, but in his heart, he felt a bit regretful. Although Qi Fang knew martial arts, her martial arts were too low. She could fight against ordinary idlers in the marketplace, but against a true expert, she was too lacking.
"Sigh, these few days, when I had free time, I should have given her some pointers on martial arts. I shouldn't have dragged her to run up the mountain whenever I had free time." Song Qing was filled with regret, but regretting now was too late.
"There are people below!" At this time, a cry of surprise suddenly came from above. It turned out that when Qi Fang came down, she had forgotten to close the window. Coincidentally, the water bandits who were searching upstairs had discovered that something was amiss.
Hearing the footsteps rushing in from all directions, Song Qing laughed bitterly. He could only take Qi Fang's small hand and quickly hide. Unfortunately, in such a hurry, there was no way for him to find a place to hide. Very quickly, he was surrounded by a group of people in a corner.
"Later, let me drink a few mouthfuls. I will deal with these people first," Song Qing quickly said, shielding Qi Fang behind him.
"No!" Qi Fang's face was red to the ears. Under the eyes of so many people, how could she take off her clothes and let them drink?
"Kill them." A nearby small leader ordered, and then the group of people raised their blades.
"Wait!" At this time, Zhang San and Li Si walked over. When they saw Qi Fang's appearance, their eyes lit up. "Little girl, where are you going?"
Qi Fang subconsciously looked at Song Qing for his opinion. Song Qing nodded slightly, indicating that she would deal with it casually. At the same time, he rejoiced that he had changed his appearance to Si Xi. Otherwise, he would have been recognized by Zhang San and Li Si.
"We are going to Lin 'an to visit relatives …" Qi Fang said in a slightly panicked tone.
Song Qing sighed in his heart. It seemed that Qi Fang really hated her husband's family. Otherwise, if she had announced that she was the young master of the Prime Minister's residence, perhaps these water bandits would have hesitated. Now, she was just an ordinary married woman returning to her hometown to visit relatives. How could these evildoers let her go?
"Madam is quite beautiful." Looking at the bun on her head, Zhang San could naturally tell that she was already married. He then looked at Song Qing, "Who is this to Madam?"
"He … he is my … my husband." Qi Fang's face turned completely red as soon as she said this.
Song Qing was also very surprised. He could not help but smile, making Qi Fang stand there even more embarrassed.
"The woman is beautiful, keep her. The husband is useless, kill him." Li Si said coldly from the side.
Hearing his words, the group of people from the Isle of Heroes were about to brandish their blades and charge forward. However, Zhang San raised his hand and said, "Wait!"
Looking at Li Si's puzzled expression, Zhang San said with a smile, "Could it be that you want the good of that master on the island? He likes other people's wives. Although this young lady is beautiful, if her husband dies, I'm afraid that her charm in that master's heart will be greatly reduced. "
Li Si also had a look of understanding. However, his tone was full of disdain, "At such a young age, you like other people's wives.
