After being reprimanded by Ji Yunshu, Luo Yang was even more certain that his guess was correct.
The masked man was the one in the portrait!
He was also the person Ji Yunshu was looking for!
Ji Yunshu looked at him with a warning gaze. "Luo Yang, you better keep this to yourself. If anyone else finds out, I'll cut your tongue."
Ugh!
Luo Yang couldn't help but retract his tongue.
This woman looked weak and delicate, but her methods were ruthless. Who knew if she would really pull out his tongue and cut it off?
He looked around and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. That Wen guy wants to kill me, so I won't tell him. I'm his enemy, but you're my teammate."
"I don't have a teammate as stupid as you."
"I'm … stupid?"
"If you weren't stupid, why would you kidnap Young Master Wen?"
"I …"
"You didn't even know his identity, yet you dared to kidnap him. If he really died, would you and Little Eight still be standing here?"
"…" Luo Yang had always been a straightforward person, but Ji Yunshu's words made him speechless.
Now that he thought about it, coupled with the fact that he almost lost his life yesterday, it really made his back tighten.
Ji Yunshu saw that he seemed to be afraid, so she didn't bring it up again. She cautiously said, "In any case, if you dare reveal that he's still alive, I'll make you suffer."
"Don't worry, I'm not that nosy, and I don't want to cause trouble."
Haha!
Ji Yunshu couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore, so she was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, the ship suddenly jolted violently.
Her footsteps were unstable, and her body leaned towards the railing of the ship, almost falling into the river.
Fortunately, Luo Yang's eyes were sharp, and he grabbed her waist!
He firmly protected her!
The two figures were tightly pressed together.
Ji Yunshu was held back by that force, so she didn't risk falling into the river.
She looked at Luo Yang's face, which was very close to her. Although it was a little dark and rough, his facial features were regular and somewhat handsome. If he dressed up, he would definitely be a handsome man.
It was also Luo Yang's first time looking at her so closely.
This woman's jade-like face was like a painting.
His eyebrows were extremely good-looking, and people couldn't help but want to look at him a little longer.
At this moment, he felt as if something was knocking against his heart.
It was as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat!
She immediately pushed him away and moved to the side. "Thank you very much," she said.
The roguish look on Luo Yang's face disappeared, replaced by embarrassment and shyness. His eyes actually carried a hint of joy. He shifted his feet. His throat felt like it was on fire, blocking all his words. In order to cover up the sudden surge of emotions, he quickly raised his hand and scratched his ear, revealing an expression of "indifference", and said, "Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.
If you really fall down, people will think that I pushed you. At that time, they will send me to see the officials. Won't I suffer a great loss? "
F * ck!
This brat could always turn any serious topic into something so frivolous.
"Anyway, thanks a lot!" She was about to leave when she stopped after a few steps. She turned around and said, "Also, be careful. Don't sleep too deeply at night!"
Reminder!
Luo Yang was confused, but he couldn't be bothered to think about her words.
He could only stare at her back in a daze.
… …
The ship sailed for a day, following the river.
They arrived at the Three Gorges region!
They passed by Yuanhe Town.
From afar, they could see the lights of tens of thousands of houses in Yuanhe Town, almost covering the entire mountain range.
The cabin Ji Yunshu was in had a window facing Yuanhe Town.
She leaned on the windowsill, her eyes fixed on that side. As the ship continued to sail forward, the lights gradually disappeared in front of her eyes.
"Sigh …"
Every night, she would feel particularly uncomfortable. It was as if there were feathers constantly plucking at the seams of her bones, leaving her with no place to scratch.
As long as she closed her eyes, Jing Rong's appearance would appear in front of her.
But when she opened her eyes, she would see endless darkness.
They were like sharp silver needles that pierced countless small holes in his body.
She didn't know when it started, but Li Chuan's masked face appeared in her mind.
"My name is Li Chuan!"
This sentence had been lingering in her mind, and she could not get rid of it.
Li Chuan! Jing Rong!
What happened in the past?
He even forgot about her.
Unknowingly, tears fell down her cheeks, but she was completely unaware of it.
Only when the tears fell on the back of her hand did she realize …
It was already late at night.
Wen Che came out of his room and stood at the bow of the ship, sending away the guards.
He clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes gloomy, and his ice-cold face couldn't help but show a trace of sadness.
His gaze was firmly fixed on the distance.
Ten years!
During the war with the Great Lin, he was riddled with scars and was infected with an illness. He could no longer go to the battlefield to fight. For a military general, it was a great humiliation.
Everyone said that he was the eldest son of the Wen family. In the future, he would inherit the Cherishing Transformation Great General's bravery and martial prowess and protect Qujiang.
But now, he was just a civil official plotting strategies in the court.
What bravery and martial prowess, bravely killing the enemy, or brilliant military achievements …
None of it had anything to do with him!
Every time he thought about how he couldn't take revenge, it was like punching cotton, making him feel powerless.
And that war was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.
If it wasn't for that war, he and that person from the Su family would still be brothers, sharing weal and woe together.
But the affairs of the world were unpredictable. The past was the past.
He sighed softly and blamed the heavens for being too harsh on him.
Sigh!
He was worried and sad.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the dreamland had already passed.
Luo Yang and Little Eight were sleeping soundly.
They were snoring!
Outside, someone carrying a black cloth bag gently approached. He opened the door and peeked inside. He saw that the people inside were sleeping soundly.
"Heh, you'll have a good time later." The corner of the person's mouth curved into a sinister smile.
Then, he opened the bag in his hand. Inside were two twisting snakes.
He pulled the snakes out and let them crawl into the warehouse.
When the snakes slowly crawled to Luo Yang's side, they left.
Jiang Tian stood at the edge of the ship, waiting for the person to report.
"It's all done. The snakes have entered."
Jiang Tian grunted and asked to confirm, "The snakes are definitely not poisonous?"
"Don't worry, they are not poisonous. They are raised by the boatman himself. They won't bite you to death, but if you get bitten, you'll suffer for a few days."
"The boatman won't tell anyone, right?"
"No, I gave him money to shut his mouth."
