C135

When they were less than two days away from Tianjin Port, the official ship that Gu Yun was on had once again met with danger.

As for who did it this time, it was still unknown, because the reality was that there was no time to think about it. The previous water thief robbery was at least an open robbery, and everyone could see it and feel it, and they would not panic so much, but this time, they had actually dived under the water, and if they didn't try to dig into the bottom of the ship, they had to think of all sorts of methods to do it.

There were many people who wanted to take Gu Yun's life and Sheng Luan's, but no one knew the specifics. Previously, because Song Yanchen's men were there to protect him, the water thieves did not dare to come close, and since the boat did not have any money, they were not his targets. Furthermore, Gu Yun's initial reaction was actually Gu Qing's revenge.

But when Gu Yun realized it later, if Gu Qing really wanted to take revenge on him, he would have done it himself. Furthermore, there was no need to bring Sheng Luan and the people on the boat along, so he had a feeling that there was someone else.

Zhao Zhang, send our men to hold the hold of the ship, and gather those who have no skill in water. The rest of them will be divided into three teams, with you and me, and Sheng Luan, who will be leading the group to guard the hatches. We can't get them to come up from the bottom of the ship!

"Master, I understand!"

The boat was shaking violently, and even though they had already blocked all the tunnels and gaps, there were still new loopholes. If the boat continued to enter the water, it would sink sooner or later, and if there were only Gu Yun and the rest on board, it would be fine to abandon the boat and escape, but there were still some officials and servants sent by the His Majesty, who could not leave them alone.

"Motherf * cker, this is so evil. Why is it so troublesome to get into the water for once?" Sheng Luan was flustered and exasperated, he wanted nothing more than to jump into the water and kill all of them, "I say, Xuanchen, have you not burned incense or have you stolen a wife recently, why are there so many people wanting to take your life?"

Sheng Luan had probably forgotten that there were many people who wanted his life, but what if they wanted their lives at the same time?

Gu Yun and Sheng Luan reacted at the same time, "It's the crown prince's man!"

Choosing to fight near Tianjin only proved that their men were familiar with the place, or were very close, because if they go further south they would reach Song Yanchen or someone else's territory. They did not dare to take the risk, so they chose to take action now. Then, he thought about the immeasurable power that was trying to escape in the Former Crown Prince, and his overwhelming hatred that could not wait to flay Gu Yun's skin and pull his tendons out.

This place was still more than a day's journey away from Tianjin Port, and it could be said that there was no end to the journey. Even if Gu Yun and Sheng Luan were able to swim well, it would be very difficult to ensure their safety.

Zhao Zhang anxiously ran over, "Master, the boat is already beginning to sink, I have already informed our people, I hope that they can go out to rescue them immediately, if we really cannot resist them, you should leave with General Sheng first and send a few good swimmers to protect you guys, I will stay behind to take care of the aftermath."

Gu Yun shook his head, "Tianjin Port is probably not safe anymore, once Sheng Luan and I enter the water, it would be equivalent to suicide. We have to fight it out anyway, it's better if we stay together, as for whether or not we can return alive, we'll just leave it to fate."

Gu Yun rarely said such resigned words, it could be seen that the danger had exceeded his expectations, Sheng Luan's fighting spirit was ignited by the troublesome situation, "Zhao Zhang, let's go, I don't believe that we will stop here, let's see how grandpa takes care of this bunch of bastards!"

Sheng Luan rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight it out with them, the boat had the gunpowder weapons that Song Yanchen had previously given them, but the gunpowder was completely useless, they could only use them in close quarters, and there were already assassins coming up, and as long as one of them on the boat did not fall, all of them would attack.

These people were all assassins and fugitives, no matter how good they were in water, they were all extremely swift and fierce, and the moment they appeared, they released their killing moves, the number of people under Sheng Luan had already increased, and the number of people who had arrived was increasing, but even with Zhao Zhang's skills, he could not take care of himself, and was not able to protect the other people on the ship.

Gu Yun took the little guy and blocked a gap, and continued to kill people who were rushing up. Zhao Zhang took care of the people who were on his side and said, "Master, I will be guarding this place, you can't stay here and take the risk. If by any chance you get injured, our ship's people won't be able to escape!"

"Now is not the time to worry about these things. I don't believe they can endure underwater for long. Send someone to take the food powder and fill the gap. As long as the powder powder is in the water, they will not be afraid to detonate it."

Gu Yun helped Zhao Zhang get rid of the person who was bothering him, but before he could do so, he was slashed by the person behind his. Zhao Zhang's pupils contracted, "Master!"

"Hurry up and go!"

Zhao Zhang hardened his heart and ran, following Gu Yun's instructions. As time passed and the sky darkened, Sheng Luan and Gu Yun were injured to different degrees. If this continued, even if they were not killed, they would die of exhaustion sooner or later.

The boat was still sinking, and it was getting slower and slower. More and more assassins were gathering, and more than half of the people on the boat had already been killed, so it was likely that they would be wiped out before dawn. Even if they jumped off the boat, they didn't have the strength to swim.

Unknowingly when, Gu Yun and Sheng Luan had started their close combat with each other, engaging in close quarters combat with the killers. Sheng Luan laughed at himself, "I never thought that there would be a day when the two of us would fight side by side like this, it is truly an unusual experience."

Sheng Luan could be considered to have gone through hundreds of battles, and have thought of many times where he could fight with his life on the line, but the situation was still quite tricky, after all, stepping on the ground was different from half of a leg in the water. Even if they managed to escape with their lives, they might not even be able to escape the water, which showed that they had never faced the most difficult times in their lives, and were always facing new challenges.

Gu Yun brandished his blade and killed the few people surrounding him, then Sheng Luan said: "Is it a pity that before I died, I didn't fight with the person you wanted to fight with the most, anyway, I don't know, Xiao Yu definitely wouldn't want to die with you."

"Pfft, I don't want to live or die with him." Sheng Luan thought for a while, and sighed in regret, "If I really have to say it, this lord really has someone that I want to see again. If I don't make her convinced, it would be the greatest regret of my life."

"Are you saying that he is our Gu Wan?"

Sheng Luan choked, "How do you know?"

Gu Yun suddenly remembered that when Xie Jingxi said these words to him, he also had an expression of having swallowed something as well, then, he couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in her heart. Right now, he really wanted to pinch her nose and kiss her forehead, but she didn't know if she would be able to return safely.

"To be honest, you must be thinking about my sister-in-law right now, right?" Sheng Luan's arm was cut again, "To be able to find such a good girl, it's already a blessing in the eyes of the heavens, you really don't know how angry I am at the time, if I was in the capital, where would I have gotten your part in it?"

After saying that, Gu Yun inexplicably regained his fighting spirit, and after getting himself a good wife, he would not be able to enjoy the rest of his life. It was called 'The heavens are opening my eyes', so he might as well close his eyes, and f * * k his mother to fate, for this time, he did not believe in fate.

"Cut the crap. I don't believe that our lives are rotten to the point of being together. If we really want to meet anyone, we have to survive. We still have to earn it ourselves at the critical moment."

The situation on the ship was extremely miserable, if Gu Yun were to see the situation on the ship, he would not have the confidence to say those words, but he had already said it, and would not be able to face the heavens if he did not struggle for his life.

Gu Yun fought desperately with Sheng Luan, but Xie Jingxi was anxiously waiting for Gu Yun to return. She calculated that it would only be a few days, and victory was in sight. At the end of the year, exactly when the Marquis Mansion was going to check the accounts, Fang Dai was not allowed to appear. Small matters concerning the residence once again fell upon Xie Jingxi, and even the year-end accounts outside the Inner Palace, he almost had to pay with his three heads and six arms.

Bai Cao and Zhang Niang Fang had temporarily moved to the Marquis Mansion residence. Every day, the courtyard of the major wife was filled with Abacus, with Zhang Niang Fang in charge, while Bai Cao and Gu Heng went around collecting debts and debts. From start to finish, Xie Jingxi did not come out, so it could be said that she had handed over all the authority to Bai Cao.

Fang Dai had improved a lot recently, with Imperial Physician Pei taking care of sher, she could deal with everything daily. Once she got off the bed, she could not rest, even if Xie Jingxi did not allow her to leave the courtyard, he still helped her.

Fortunately, our business is not doing business at the end of the year, if not three to five Bai Cao s would not be enough. Fang Dai was writing something on the desk, and her words were filled with self-blame. "Recently, I haven't been able to help the Madam, so it's been hard on you."

"You have let me down by taking good care of yourself. Otherwise, when Eldest Young Master came back, he would probably complain that I didn't think well of him." Xie Jingxi organized the matters that she needed to take care of during the year, and continued, "Everyone wants to be the head of the house, during the next year it's almost like we're going to war, I don't know how fun this will be, but fortunately I have something to take care of, otherwise, sitting and waiting would only cause me to be anxious."

"Madam must be missing Eldest Young Master. It's almost time. She'll be here in two or three days at most."

As he was speaking, a attendant suddenly ran in from outside. Xie Jingxi looked at him and thought that something was wrong with his Marquis Mansion, "What is it, why are you in such a hurry?"

However, Fang Dai knew that this person was one of the people under her in charge of sending messages. A bad premonition rose in her heart, "Is there any news from the First Young Master?"

"Madam, Miss Fang Dai, it's an urgent message from our people. The Eldest Young Master and the rest were in danger when they were almost at Tianjin Port, and after our people passed, the boat had already sunk. Eldest Young Master, they, they have lost track of their whereabouts."
