From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 678 Assassination at the Wharf

When I got up in the morning, the sky was a bit gloomy, and the dark clouds were pressing on the lake, as if they were about to fall at any time.

There are not many fishing boats on the lake, and the fishermen are worried about the rain.

When it is windy and rainy, the waves on the lake are very strong, and the fishermen stop their boats and dare not leave.

Long Chen and Ya'er went out in disguise as a father and daughter visiting relatives.

Ya'er looked at the lake and said, "Big pervert, do you think they won't leave?"

"I think the weather is not good. If it rains, the passenger ship will not dare to leave."

Ya'er felt that the weather was bad, and maybe the passenger ship could not sail.

Long Chen squeezed Ya'er and said, "Call me Daddy!"

Ya'er raised her head and said contemptuously, "Is there such a beast daddy as you! What a good thing you did at night!"

Long Chen laughed softly: "Don't call Daddy now, go back to the room and let you call enough!"

Ya'er shrank her neck in fright, and called out reluctantly: "Daddy..."

Walking to the pier, I saw a busy scene.

The river is connected to the lake at one end, and the water is gentle and deep enough, which is very suitable for sailing.

Passenger ships are moored at the pier, and guests and business travelers board the ships one after another.

"Jinling, Jinling..."

"Linjiang City, board the boat in Linjiang City."

The boatman was shouting, and the merchants carried the goods on board.

There were three ships going to Jinling, and Long Chen was not sure which one Situ Jing and Wen Shouyi would choose.

They may choose the best big ship, or they may take a lesser ship to deceive others.

"Daddy, are you going to get on the boat or not?"

Ya'er looked up at Long Chen and asked.

Long Chen said: "If you don't get on the boat, just walk along the shore."

Ya'er looked around and said, "There are so many people here."

There are many people on the shore, and it is easy to hurt innocent people with their hands.

Moreover, places where there are many people are easy to escape.

There are two people on the other side, even if Long Chen can kill one, the other will have enough time to escape.

Ya'er felt that it was not a good choice to do it on the shore.

"Then where do you say it should be?"

"Which ship should we board?"

Long Chen asked Ya'er back.

Ya'er shook her head, not knowing what ship Situ Jing would get on.

Therefore, it is a helpless move to do it on the shore.

"There are so many people on the shore that it is difficult to do it, and they will think so."

Long Chen took Ya'er's hand, and waited for Situ Jing and the two to come over at the pier.

Hongfu Inn.

Situ Jing and Wen Shouyi changed into merchant's attire and went downstairs from the room.

The shop waiter saw it, and went up to greet him enthusiastically: "Customer, are you going to see the goods today?"

Situ Jing laughed and said, "Let's take a stroll here first, don't worry, the room is reserved for us."

The waiter was not stupid, and immediately said: "Please settle the room and meal expenses first."

The people in the inn, unless they are regular customers, usually close every day.

Otherwise, if the guests run away, who will they turn to?

Wen Shouyi shook out dozens of copper coins from his sleeve, counted them carefully, and put them on the table.

"This is room and board money."

Wen Shouyi gave the money, left the inn with Situ Jing, and walked towards the pier.

The shopkeeper glanced at Situ Jing and the two, and said, "The two of them are businessmen."

Wen Shouyi's way of counting money is obviously for business.

The waiter in the shop gave the money to the shopkeeper and said, "It looks like a businessman, but it's too refined. If it escapes, we won't find it."

The shopkeeper took the money and said, "That's right."

Situ Jing and the two walked on the street, looking east and west, seemingly looking for goods, but actually looking for tails to follow.

From the inn to the pier, Situ Jing and Wen Shouyi didn't find the tail.

There is an old man at the pier who is dedicated to answering questions. He can answer any questions about the village, aquatic products in the lake, boating, or the surrounding area.

Wen Shouyi walked over and asked, "Old man, may I ask which ship is going to Jinling?"

The old man has one missing front tooth, but he speaks very sharply.

"Guest, one penny."

The old man held out a finger.

Nothing in this world is free, and neither is news.

Ask a question, a penny, although a bit expensive, but also reasonable.

Wen Shouyi took out a penny, the old man took it, pointed to the boats at the pier, and said, "Those three boats are all going to Jinling, the boat on the left is the fastest, the boat in the middle is the most stable, and the boat on the right Most comfortable."

"If you are in a hurry, you can take the boat on the left, and the price is medium."

"If you want to be safer, choose the middle ship, the price is average."

"If you want to be more comfortable, the boat on the right is the best, and of course the most expensive."

This is the benefit of spending money to inquire, you can know very comprehensively.

Wen Shouyi nodded without saying thank you.

In his view, no one owes anyone if he pays with one hand and delivers the goods with the other.

After walking a few steps, Wen Shouyi said, "Take the fast boat? Or is it more comfortable?"

Situ Jing thought for a while and said, "Take the safest seat."

Wen Shouyi nodded, ready to choose the middle one.

After walking a few steps, Situ Jing changed her mind again: "Take the fastest one, you're in a hurry."

Wen Shouyi made no objection, turned around and walked to the left.

"Noodles, noodles, take them on the boat to eat, the things on the boat are very precious."

"Special products in the lake, special products, take them back to relatives and friends."

On both sides are the shouts of small vendors.

Situ Jing and Wen Shouyi walked to the boat, ignoring the cries around them.

As long as you get on the boat, you can go down the river and go straight to Jinling.

Walking to the side of the boat, both of them relaxed a little.

"Daddy, I want to eat that..."

A little girl on the side of the road looked at a peddler selling snacks, pestering her father for food.

"how much is this?"

asked the little girl's father.

"This one, a penny."

The peddler took out a snack and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl took the snacks, and the little girl's father reached into his clothes to get the money...

Wen Shouyi and Situ Jing just arrived by their side.

This little girl is naturally Ya'er, and this father is naturally Long Chen.

Long Chen reached into his clothes to get the money, Situ Jing and Wen Shouyi who walked by didn't care.

The little girl pestered her father to buy snacks, and the father paid for it. Everything was normal.

Long Chen leaned towards the fast boat going to Jinling, Wen Shouyi and Situ Jing came from behind, they couldn't see Long Chen's face and hands, they only thought that Long Chen was pulling out money.

Long Chen felt the two people walking behind him, suddenly took out a dagger from his arms, turned around and stabbed Situ Jing in the heart.

It all happened so suddenly that no one could react.

The vendor was still staring at Long Chen, waiting for him to pay.

The merchants coming and going are still on their way, and they haven't noticed the sudden change here.

Even Wen Shouyi was looking at the clipper and didn't notice Situ Jing's assassination.

In the blink of an eye, Situ Jing let out a muffled snort, firmly grasping the dagger that Long Chen stabbed with both hands, his eyeballs protruding, as if they were about to explode.

Long Chen calculated mentally but unintentionally, he struck again with all his strength, the dagger pierced smoothly, but failed to pierce the heart, Situ Jing grabbed hold of it firmly, and retreated back, trying to avoid the dagger from piercing deeper, and even pulled out a little.

"Roar..."

Long Chen let out a lion's roar, and his body exerted force suddenly, causing Situ Jing to spit out a mouthful of blood.

This is the Buddhist tremolo learned from Maji.

Long Chen's skills are now profound, and he roared at a close distance, and his vocal strength is extremely powerful!
