The Peasant Girl's Glory

Chapter 206 Weird
"Brother Huang, let's go!"

Shen Furong happily pulled Yue to stand up, and took the fish basket from the black and thin man's hands with great discernment, and carried it on her back:

"I'll get it for you. If you need help with anything else, just tell me."

After the conversation when they just landed, they already knew that the man in front of them was Huang Li, a fisherman in this village who would go out every day to go fishing around.

"Okay, let's go!"

Huang Li smiled and said, "But my boat can't stay at the dock too much, I have to leave when I send you to the dock."

Shen Furong nodded and asked in detail about some things on the pier. The few people chatted and hurried onto Huang Li's boat.

Huang Li's fishing boat is not big, but the oars, bamboo poles and other items on board are readily available.

Huang Li is also a veteran of boating, and he is still strong enough to row the boat steadily and fast.

In a short while, the boat rowed out of the village like an arrow from the string and rushed into the main river.

The boat went all the way down the river and moved forward very smoothly along the winding river. Suddenly, the river began to become wider, and the water flow became much slower. After turning a -degree bend, a magnificent wave The Grand Canal appeared in front of several people.

The river is nearly zhang wide, and the vast river surface is sparkling. More than boats, large and small, sail incessantly. Among them, there are not only large cargo ships full of goods, but also various fishing boats and passenger ships. Busy scene.

Today's wind and waves were a bit big, but it was a good wind. Shen Furong and October quickly followed Huang Li's boat to Gusu Wharf.

The early morning mist has not completely dissipated, and the pier is already in full swing.

Hundreds of ships of various sizes were docked at the dock, dozens of boatmen were busy going up and down, and a group of topless porters carried sacks and kept loading and unloading goods on the cargo ships.

Among the crowds coming and going, not only big merchants dressed in silk and satin, but also small merchants who sold and shouted, and some guests who came and went by boat, crowded everywhere, very lively.

After the boat docked, Shen Furong and October boarded the pier and waved goodbye to Huang Li.

Watching Huang Li's boat leave, the two looked up and around for a moment, then walked straight to the two large locust trees on the side of the pier.

When they reached the back of the tree, Shen Furong and Yueyue quickly took off their bamboo hats, took off their robes, tied their hair again, cleaned their faces, and when they came out, they looked different.

Shen Furong stretched out her hand to smooth out the folds on her coarse cloth robe, looked at October who was already a shop assistant, and nodded with satisfaction.

Next, they need to find a way to get on the boat and rush back to the capital as soon as possible.

***

Several big men chased along the rugged dirt road, but there was no sign of the person they were looking for along the way.

"Damn, where did people go to!"

"Boss, I haven't seen anyone after so long. Could it be that the fisherman is lying to us?"

"He dares! Go, go back and have a look!"

A few big men were about to turn around and go back when they suddenly saw a carriage approaching from a distance.

The carriage stopped in front of a few people, and the curtain was lifted, revealing the face of the eldest princess Yan Fengzhu, "Why are you here?"

When several big men saw that it was Yan Fengzhu, the leading man immediately stepped forward to report:

"His Royal Highness, the big thing is bad, those two women ran away!"

"what?!"

Yan Fengzhu hurriedly lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, stood up on the frame, and asked sharply at the leading man:

"What the hell is going on? Say it!"

The leading man didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly told Yan Fengzhu what had happened.

When Yan Fengzhu heard this, her face was so ugly that it turned into a pig's liver. Her eyes were bloodthirsty red, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"Waste, you group of rice buckets can't even look down on individuals, what does this palace want from you?"

When all the big men heard the words, they all looked like eggplants beaten by frost, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty:

"It was the subordinates who were negligent. I hope Your Highness atones."

Yan Fengzhu snorted coldly, her face gloomy.

The leading man, Xu, wanted to make up for his mistakes, so he could not help but tentatively said:

"His Royal Highness, this place is rather quiet. Only the Gusu Wharf has boats going to and from the capital, so my subordinates guess that the two women will probably go there."

"Then what are you waiting for, don't hurry to find it, even if you dig the Gusu Wharf three feet into the ground, you will find someone back for me! Can you hear me!" Yan Fengzhu yelled at the leading man in front of him.

"Yes!"

The leading man replied with his head bowed and fists clasped.

At this time, another voice came from the carriage. This voice was very strange. It was not only old, low, and indifferent, but also completely made people unable to distinguish between men and women.

After listening to it, what I think of is a tattered spider web swaying in the violent storm, a single leaf falling from the remnant snow in late autumn, and the solitary dust rustling on the barren mountains and ridges:
"No need to be angry, Your Highness, she can't run away!"

This sullen voice made the leading man only feel that a cold air was coming from the soles of his feet, and the cold air reached his forehead from his spine. He couldn't help but raise his head slightly and take a look inside the carriage.

At this moment, there was just a gust of breeze, and the car curtain was blown up, revealing the appearance of the old man in the car.

The clothes on the old man's body were obviously different from the clothes of the current dynasty, but they were somewhat similar to those of the Western Regions merchants. I thought it was the Western Regions expert that the princess said.

When the leading man's gaze moved upwards, it froze: the old man's face was covered with an extremely strange mask.

This mask is half red and half white, the red is like blood, and the white is like the remnants of a dead person.

At this moment, the old man suddenly turned his head to look outside the carriage, and the leading man clearly saw that the gloomy mask had two holes in the position of the eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.

The leading man was frightened to death, and immediately lowered his head.

"Why are you standing still? Why don't you hurry up!" Yan Fengzhu couldn't restrain her anger when she saw that the leading man had not moved for a while.

The leading man hurriedly agreed and retreated with the big men.

"Trash, trash, it's all a bunch of trash!"

Yan Fengzhu threw up the curtain of the carriage, turned around and sat back in the carriage.

"Your Highness, don't worry, since my mountain ghost is here, I will do my best to help His Highness achieve what he wants."

The old man spoke slowly, his eyes fell on Yan Fengzhu's young and beautiful face, and a greedy look flashed in the depths of his eyes:

"Just don't forget to promise me, Your Highness."

"Don't worry, as long as you help me fulfill my long-cherished wish, I will never break my promise."

Yan Fengzhu slowly stroked her own face, "When the woman's face is successfully exchanged for me, why not take off my face and give it to you?"

The old man nodded with satisfaction, then reached out and took out a palm-sized tortoise shell from his arms, and then took out a few copper coins and placed them in the tortoise shell.

Immediately afterwards, the old man shook the tortoise shell and muttered words in his mouth.

As the strength of the old man's swaying became stronger and stronger, the words in his mouth became more and more urgent, only to hear a "crashing" sound, and several copper coins fell from the tortoise shell to the ground at almost the same time.
