I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 211 The acquaintance on the boat
A whistle arrow whizzed and pierced directly into the fleeing assassin in front.

The assassin in black staggered and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there were two more whistles!
puff!puff!
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh was especially clear in the silent night.

The distance is a little far.

Tang Can could see clearly.

The assassin's body twitched several times, foaming at the mouth, and he could no longer die.

Under the moonlight, his wound and the blood that flowed out looked black and red.

Although not a professional.

But this scene still made Tang Can frown.

It looks like someone used poison...

Immediately afterwards, a familiar pungent smell blew around his body under the breeze.

He is more familiar with this taste.

It's... cleansing powder.

As a poison that almost killed him, his memory of the cleansing powder is extremely deep!
laugh!
laugh!
laugh!
As if to test his idea, there was a slight sound that sounded like cooking oil coming out of a barbecue in the distance.

Visible to the naked eye.

The body of the black-clothed assassin shrank little by little until there were only a few rags left.

at the same time.

On the painted boat on the big river, figures flickered.

The archer who was at the bow turned around and entered the cabin, and the boat started slowly, heading north again.

A cold light flashed in Tang Can's eyes.

This group of people, I don't know who they are.

Come mysteriously, go simply.

Without any hesitation.

Tang Can didn't think about it for too long.

I chose to wander in the reeds, and followed the painting boat from a distance.

I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running.

Tang Can, who was doing this kind of thing for the first time, kept his movements to a minimum, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the unknown group of people.

Fortunately, the boat sailed upstream at a very slow speed.

In this way, it also provided favorable conditions for Tang Can to follow them quietly.

Time flies by.

As they walked along the reed swamp, Tang Can's expression suddenly froze.

Front……

No more reeds!

Instead, a small pier.

Presumably, it is a small pier built by the people who usually fish on the big river.

In addition, there are several small boats lying quietly by the river.

If someone on the big boat is watching, as long as he gets out of the reeds, 100% will be exposed.

but……

After a little hesitation, Tang Can gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and prepared to bypass the open space from the left.

Just at this moment...

The boat stopped suddenly and leaned against the pier.

Followed by.

Several people got off the boat and headed towards the reeds where he was hiding.

I don't know if he found his trace, or... want to deal with the person who was poisoned by the arrow before?

Tang Can held his breath, tensed his body, and lay on the ground of the reeds, waiting quietly.

far away.

Crash, clatter footsteps, approaching constantly.

His heartbeat was also getting faster and faster.

The breathing rhythm can be controlled, but this nervousness... cannot be avoided.

Can't see it, but he can hear it.

The sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer to him, seemed to be only a few steps away.

Whoa!Whoa!
The reeds swayed, and several of them fell directly on his body.

It's now!

Tang Can's heart tightened, and his originally tense body relaxed, and his body moved forward without hesitation.

Under the cover of the swaying reeds, no one noticed that his body took a step forward.

step.

two steps.

Three steps.

Huddled among the reeds, Tang Can could see that those people were already far away from him.

call……

With a sigh of relief, Tang Can approached the river bank, stopped at the edge of the reeds, and carefully observed the big painting boat that was only one step away from him.

Indistinctly, one could still hear the women's coquettish smiles and the men's laughter on the painting paper.

I can play.

The corners of Tang Can's eyes twitched, and after making sure that no one saw him, he slightly shifted his body, flashed out of the reeds, and appeared on the river embankment.

Dressed in black, she was inconspicuous on the embankment.

After a pause, Tang Can was like a loach, clinging obliquely to the river embankment, facing the pupa of the boat.

But in a moment, it has arrived.

Under the dark night, Tang Can jumped and grabbed the edge of the painting boat. With the help of both hands, he turned over and successfully entered the painting boat.

It's just that he had just landed when he discovered an unscientific problem.

Opposite him, only two steps away from him.

A petite woman was holding a tea tray and snacks in her hand, her eyes were bright, and she was staring at him blankly.

then.

The bright eyes changed from dazed to fearful.

The little maid opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to shout!
at this time.

Tang Can's figure flashed, and before she yelled out, he made a knife with his right hand and slashed lightly on the back of her neck, and grabbed the tea tray directly with his left hand.

The little maid fell softly to the ground, and the tea tray in her hand was also caught by Tang Can, so it didn't fall to the ground, so as not to cause too much commotion.

Tang Can didn't waste any more time, and didn't even care about the little maid on the ground, but just listened to the bustling sounds in the cabin and followed them.

The structure of a painting boat is generally very simple.

A huge cabin for the entertainment of dignitaries.

Either one or two.

This painting boat has exactly two floors.

Tang Can walked up the stairs and rushed up to the second floor.

Yingying Yanyan's laughter was clearly audible.

He didn't move too much, just put his hand into his tongue in a very old-fashioned way, moistened it, then poked a small hole in the paper window, and squinted his eyes to look at it.

Among them, more than ten women, wearing very simple clothes, were playing games with one person.

Very coincidental.

this person……

He knows.

Although there are not many meetings and contacts.

but……

The last thing he did in Great Liang, when he set up Shanfang, happened to be this person.

Bald, Ji Chou!
The shopkeeper of the Shendu branch of the Universal Bank...

Unexpectedly, it was him on the boat!

So……

This time, Shanfang also got involved.

In that case...

Tang Can took a deep breath, pulled his throat with his hands, and let out a "cuckoo...cuckoo" sound.

It sounds like a pigeon's chirping.

After a sound.

Ji Chou, who was happily playing with the girls in the painting boat, was startled suddenly, and asked in a daze, "Did you hear any noise?"

"Yeah~" A woman agreed tenderly, and said softly, "My lord, you are bad~"

"Cuckoo...cuckoo..."

The voice sounded again, making Ji Chou very convinced that he heard it right!
In an instant, cold sweat covered the whole body, and he stood up all of a sudden!

only……

A cry came to his lips, but he held it back abruptly.

He didn't know whether the person who came was Tang Can, Gao Yuanyi, or someone else from Shanfang.

But he is very clear.

Since the visitor used Shanfang's unique way of sending messages, if he dared to bark.

My life, it might be over here.

"Girls, my lord will play a game with you."

"Hey, you guys are hiding on the boat."

"Let's see if I can find you, my lord, within the time of a stick of incense. If my lord finds it, we will sleep together~"

"Cuckoo~~"

"Hee hee~"

Amidst a burst of coquettish laughter, the girls all left the room on the second floor.

Tang Can also pushed open the window and jumped in...
