This was not the first time Ye Zhen had come to Hamu City, and it had only been two months since her last visit. 【】
Last time, she went to look for her father. This time, she was sent to Dongqing Country by her father and stayed in the same inn. She even imagined that Mo Rongzhan would suddenly appear like last time. However, it was not until she boarded the ship that she realized that some things would never happen again.
"Miss, the wind outside is strong. Let's go inside." Hong Ying took the cloak and draped it over Ye Zhen's shoulders.
They boarded a merchant ship. Ye Zhen had another room, and the ship looked much larger than usual. In addition to Ye Zhen, there seemed to be other guests in the other rooms as well.
"We've left the Jin Nation." Ye Zhen looked at the gradually disappearing port of Hamu City. In the past, when she wanted to leave, she was taken back several times. Now that she really left, she felt inexplicably melancholic.
"Miss, do you miss the emperor?" Hong Ying had served Ye Zhen for so long that she naturally understood Ye Zhen's intentions.
Ye Zhen smiled, "Naturally, I miss him. I don't know if he will …"
Would he still look for her in the middle of the night? He should already know that she was in the capital.
"Awoo." Xiao Qi came from the other side of the deck and walked proudly to Ye Zhen's side like a king.
"Little Seven, why did you come out?" Ye Rou hugged Little Seven's neck. Because the people on the boat were afraid of Little Seven, she let it stay in the room. They all felt that Little Seven was too much like a wolf and were afraid that it would hurt people.
Xiao Qi rubbed Ye Zhen's face, seemingly not wanting to leave her side.
Ye Zhen smiled and touched its head. "Are you afraid that I will be in danger?"
"Woo!" Little Seven licked Ye Zhen's palm.
"Don't worry, we are all on board. No one here will hurt me." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Just as Ye Zhen finished speaking, a man's voice suddenly sounded, "Is that so? Your Highness, are you so sure that no one wants to kill you? "
"Who?" Hong Ying's expression changed as she turned to look behind the pile of goods. A man dressed in a boatman's uniform appeared in their line of sight.
Seeing this man, Ye Zhen and Hong Ying's faces changed.
Luo Jing!
How could he still be alive?
"Princess, we meet again." Luo Jing revealed a sinister smile and said, "I didn't expect to see you in Hamu City. It seems that we are destined to meet. Since you are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you come with us to meet our master? Our master has suffered a lot for you."
Luo Jing was Lu Lingzhi's subordinate. When they were in Hamu City, he was the one who drugged Ye Zhen.
"Why aren't you dead?" Hong Ying had been defeated by Luo Jing before and she hated him very much. She was very surprised to see that he was still alive. The Emperor had given the order to kill everyone except for Lu Lingzhi, who had become a disabled man.
"Little girl, you are still alive, how can I be willing to die?" Luo Jing chuckled and walked slowly towards Ye Zhen with a wooden stick in his hand.
Xiao Qi stood in front of Ye Zhen, its golden eyes staring at Luo Jing coldly. It was as if it would pounce on him and tear his neck if he took another step forward.
When Luo Jing saw the appearance of Xiao Qi clearly, he stood still. He was not an ignorant businessman and he could naturally see that it was a wolf, the king of wolves.
"If I were you, I would definitely not be here." Ye Zhen looked at him and said lightly, "How did you survive? Where is Lu Lingzhi? "
Did Lu Lingzhi escape death again and not go to the Wilderness? When Ye Zhen thought of this possibility, she felt depressed.
"You still have the face to ask our master?" Luo Jing shouted, "If it weren't for you, Master Hou would not have become like this. You are a jinx!"
Ye Zhen smiled faintly and said, "How is Lu Lingzhi? Is he dead? "
"Lu Yaoyao, since you made Master Hou's life worse than death, you should go and accompany him. Don't worry, I will not kill you. I will send you to the Wilderness and let you serve Master Hou for the rest of your life." Luo Jing hated Lu Lingzhi to the core. He had narrowly escaped from Mo Rongzhan's secret guards. Originally, he planned to settle down with his old lover in Hamu City and find a chance to go to the Wilderness to look for Lu Lingzhi.
He saw with his own eyes that Lu Lingzhi was crippled. How could his master survive in the Wilderness after losing his martial arts and legs? Luo Jing did not dare to imagine Lu Lingzhi's embarrassment and pain, so he hated this woman even more. Originally, he wanted to go to the capital city to kill her when he had the opportunity in the future.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly and said, "I am relieved to hear you say so."
It seemed that Lu Lingzhi was not in Hamu City and did not escape punishment again.
"Bitch, do you have a heart? Master Hou is so nice to you, but you are indifferent!" Luo Jing questioned angrily.
"Bah! It was obviously Lu Lingzhi who did such a shameful thing. You are blaming our lady. " Hong Ying shouted. She turned her head and took a look. Because it was dinner time, everyone was eating inside. No one noticed what happened on the deck. Even the other boatmen were at the stern.
Luo Jing was also afraid of being discovered. He looked at Xiao Qi vigilantly and clenched the wooden stick in his hand.
"Go to hell!" If he could not bring Lu Yaoyao to see Master Hou, he would kill her.
Xiao Qi howled and jumped up briskly towards Luo Jing.
Just when Luo Jing and Xiao Qi were entangled, another boatman suddenly appeared next to him. He grinned and wanted to catch Ye Zhen. Hong Ying saw him and immediately kicked his hand away.
Ye Zhen stood in the same place with a cold face. Luo Jing could not break away from Xiao Qi and the other boatman was not Hong Ying's opponent. She stood still and wanted to know if there was anyone else hiding in the dark.
The fight on the deck alerted the others on the ship. Hong Ying had just subdued the boatman but she did not have time to tie him up.
"What's going on? Why did the big dog bite? " Those who did not know the truth thought that Xiao Qi was the one who hurt Luo Jing first. Someone held a wooden stick and wanted to help Luo Jing.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
When Ye Zhen opened her mouth to stop those people, another voice spoke at the same time as her.
She looked at that person in astonishment, and a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes. It was actually the man she had met in the inn a few days ago. Why was he here?
"The white wolf was just protecting its master. It should not have hurt it." The man's voice was gentle.
Ye Zhen looked at him lightly. "Xiao Qi, come back!"
Xiao Qi bit Luo Jing's shoulder and blood dripped from it. When he heard Ye Zhen's voice, he let go of Luo Jing reluctantly.
"These two are fugitives from the imperial court. I recognized them and wanted to kill them." Ye Zhen pointed at Luo Jing and said to the others. "Captain, please find a way to send them back to Hamu City and hand them over to the officials."
