Unexpectedly, Pu Longqi suddenly burst out laughing. He patted Fulong Hai lightly on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to be offended. I was just joking with you. It's not convenient for the two of them to stay here and talk." ,"

Fulonghai secretly scolded Pulongqi for being cunning, but on the surface he continued to apologize and said, "Master Pu is really humorous."

Pu Longqi said: "I have something to ask you."

Fulonghai said with sincerity and fear: "If you have anything to do, sir, just ask me. I, Fulonghai, will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Pu Longqi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, what I want is your words. You guessed right just now. Someone does want to harm me on the way."

Tang Lie was also shocked. As Pu Longqi's bodyguard, he was naturally concerned about the safety of this trip.

Fulonghai said angrily: "Who has such courage?"

Pu Longqi sighed and said: "I can only investigate this matter when I return to the imperial capital." He whispered to Fulong Hai: "When does your caravan plan to set off?"

Fulonghai didn't know why he asked this question, so he answered honestly: "Tomorrow afternoon."

Pulongqi nodded and said: "I want to return to the imperial capital with your caravan tomorrow afternoon."

Fulonghai looked at Pulongqi in surprise.

Pu Longqi said: "I am worried that someone will harm me on the way, so I plan to disguise myself as a civilian and follow you back. This matter is related to my safety, and you must not reveal a word."

Fulonghai nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pu, I will definitely do it."

Pu Longqi whispered a few more words in a low voice, and made an appointment with Fulong Hai on how and when to meet tomorrow, and then personally sent him out the door.

After closing the door, the smile on Pu Longqi's face immediately faded and he ordered to Tang Lie: "Pack your things and we will leave here tonight."

Tang Lie secretly admired Pu Longqi for his deep scheming. It seemed that he was suspicious of Fulong Hai, so he deliberately released this news to paralyze Fulong Hai.

That night, Pu Longqi took Fuling, asked Tang Lie and the other two guards to pack their bags, and left the inn at night. The port was extremely noisy at night, and there were people drinking and having fun everywhere.

The five of them were all dressed as ordinary people. According to Pu Longqi's instructions, two guards carried most of the luggage and marched separately from Proni and others at the east gate.

When the guards walked away, Pulong Qifang said: "Let's find a hotel and have a good rest."

Tang Lie said in astonishment: "Don't you have to travel all night?"

Pulongqi smiled and said: "If Fulonghai has bad intentions for us, he will soon find out that we are missing. Those who want to murder us on the way will definitely chase us desperately. Rather than being chased by them, it is better to find a place to rest for a few days." God, we will set off again the morning after tomorrow,”

He considered everything extremely carefully, and the way things happened did not follow common sense. Tang Lie was amazed in his heart. He didn't expect that Pu Longqi could be so cunning and changeable. No wonder he could reach such a high position of power.

The three of them stayed in an ordinary hotel near the port. Pu Longqi was really good to Tang Lie. He was well-informed. He drank and chatted with Tang Lie during his leisure time, telling some anecdotes. Tang Lie was fascinated by what he heard. It was a pity that The customs Pu Longqi talked about didn't seem to be of much help to him, and his memory of the past was still blank.

Fortunately, Tang Lie has gradually accepted the fact of amnesia. Since he can't remember it, why bother to think about it? Maybe there will be a chance in the future to remember everything in the past.

After staying in a small hotel for one day and two nights, on the morning of the third day, the three of them embarked on a bold journey to the imperial capital.

They hired a carriage. Pu Longqi and Fuling sat in the carriage. Tang Lie sat in front of the carriage and was responsible for driving the three strong horses. According to Pu Longqi's instructions, he was in no hurry to hurry. There were many scenic spots along the way. At this place, Pulongqi asked him to stop and enjoy it with Fuling. In this way, the journey turned into a sightseeing trip, which was quite pleasant.

Pulongqi paid homage in front of the statue of Siyu, while Fuling happily picked colorful wild flowers around.

Tang Lie looked at the old and the young and couldn't help but smile. This Lord Pulongqi was indeed strange. In the past few days, he seemed to have forgotten his original identity and had become an idle cloud and wild crane who had forgotten political disputes and his own responsibilities.

The most carefree one is Fuling. For her, this is just a happy and carefree trip.

Pu Longqi slowly came to Tang Lie and looked at the happy Fuling among the flowers with a smile. He whispered: "The most important thing to me in this world is Fuling."

"Who exactly wants to do harm to Mr. Pu?" This question has troubled Tang Lie for a long time.

Pu Longqi smiled calmly and said: "Maybe, maybe not. I don't dare to take any risks." He looked up at the white clouds floating in the sky and sighed in a low voice: "When you are in the court, you have to be careful about many things. If you are not careful, you may never turn around."

Tang Lie whispered: "Since Master Pu is already feeling tired, why don't you retreat?"

Pu Longqi looked at Tang Lie with great interest and said meaningfully: "Even if the fish in the ocean know the calmness of the lake, they can no longer adapt to life in fresh water..." He didn't want to get out of the way, but the Xuanwu Empire The current situation no longer leaves him with no choice.

Fulingjiao smiled and ran to Pu Longqi: "Uncle, the scenery here is so beautiful."

Pu Longqi smiled and said: "There are many more beautiful scenery in the imperial capital than here,"

"But the air in the imperial capital is far less fresh and free than here,"

Pu Longqi burst out laughing. He waved his hand and said: "We set off and must reach the imperial capital within seven days."

Seven days was quite enough time for them, but the rest of the journey was not as smooth as expected. The weather was unfavorable, and it rained heavily. It rained for three consecutive days, but there was no sign of stopping. In Pulongqi At the request, they continued on their way in the rain.

Tang Lie sat in front of the car, driving the carriage and horses around. The raindrops were too dense and the visibility was very low. From time to time, there was a slanting wind and drizzle that penetrated into his collar, making his body feel damp and uncomfortable.

Fuyun opened the car curtain and said softly to Tang Lie: "Guard Mo, please go inside the car and change into dry clothes to avoid getting cold."

Tang Lie smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss, I'm very strong and strong. The wind and rain won't trouble me."

The horses suddenly neighed, and the three horses raised their front hooves at the same time. Fuyun was unprepared for a moment, and her delicate body fell into the carriage. Pulongqi hurriedly supported her.

But I heard Tang Lie say from outside: "It's not good."

Tang Lie reined in his horse and stared at the river in front of him. He saw that the water in the small river had swelled a lot because of the rain. The piers of the arch bridge were hollowed out by the heavy rain, and the entire bridge collapsed.

Pu Longqi opened the curtain and saw the situation in front of him. He smiled bitterly and said: "This is the Tongji Bridge, the only way to the imperial capital, and it collapsed."

Tang Lie said: "Sir, are there any other bridges nearby?"

Pulongqi nodded and said: "There is a Yongsheng Bridge about fifty miles downstream from here. It seems that we have to go there."

"Okay, I'll rush there right away,"

It took them a whole afternoon to brave the heavy rain to get to Yongsheng Bridge. When they arrived at Yongsheng Bridge, the sky was completely dark.

To their disappointment, because the water level had risen too much, the entire Yongsheng Bridge was soaked in water, and the bridge deck could not be seen at all. It was obviously impossible to cross the river under such conditions.

Hundreds of people were already waiting on the river bank, and many people were already stationed at high altitudes, waiting for the water to recede before making plans to cross the river.

After Tang Lie and Pu Longqi discussed it, they decided not to move forward that night, but to camp here temporarily and wait until dawn tomorrow to make plans.

Almost all the sheltering places around the river bank were occupied by others, so Tang Lie had no choice but to find a gap on the high ground on the river bank and temporarily stop his carriage.

Pulongqi said: "Squid, you can come to the carriage to take shelter from the rain."

Tang Lie smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to take a look around and inquire about the situation."

Pu Longqi nodded appreciatively. He saw a unique temperament in Tang Lie and felt that he had made a wise choice in choosing this young man.

After inspecting the area, Tang Lie was convinced that there was nothing unusual, so he returned to the carriage with peace of mind. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Tang Lie couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He didn't know when the heavy rain would stop.

Pu Longqi opened the car curtain and said: "Squid, come in quickly and take shelter from the rain."

Tang Lie nodded and was about to walk into the car when he suddenly heard a cry for help.

When I turned around and looked back, I saw a group of people rushing towards the river, shouting: "Someone has jumped into the river, please save them quickly..."

Tang Lie was startled, hesitated for a moment, turned around and rushed towards the river. When he came to the river bank, he saw the group of people standing there. Although everyone was calling, no one dared to actually go into the water to save him. people.

The water was flowing rapidly, and a white figure loomed in the flood. Tang Lie couldn't think more about it, took off his long knife, and jumped into the river.

Pu Longqi also came to the river at this time. He did not stop Tang Lie's actions, but looked at Tang Lie's situation in the water with concern.

Tang Lie raised his arms and swam toward the white spot. After entering the water, he realized that the speed of the water was beyond his imagination. One after another, the flood peaks rushed down, and he accidentally choked. A lot of river water, the body's potential energy quickly reacted, and soon he adapted to the turbulent environment. His body cleverly grasped the strength of the water flow, and swam extremely quickly to the man in white, and pulled the man from behind. The man in white hugged her and put his palm on her chest, but he touched the two elastic balls. It turned out that this was a woman.

Tang Lie swam back, and with the cheers of everyone, he swam to the shore with the girl. At this time, the rain was much lighter than before.

The girl had lost consciousness when she was in the water. Tang Lie put his ear on the girl's chest and listened to make sure that her heartbeat was still there. Then he pinched her small nose and gave her artificial respiration. The crowd gathered around. They were in an uproar. They didn't understand that Tang Lie's move was to save the girl's life, and thought that Tang Lie had evil intentions. Tang Lie ignored other people's sarcastic remarks. After several attempts, the girl finally coughed violently and sat up. Spit out several mouthfuls of yellow water.

Tang Lie smiled and said, "Okay, it's okay."

The girl looked around and cried: "Why did you save me?"

At this time, a vicious voice came: "Little bitch, the master bought you at such a high price, but you want to commit suicide? Don't you want to die?"

A burly man strode towards the girl. Behind him were six men with fierce looks. In fact, they were already there when the girl fell into the water, but they did not go into the water to rescue her. Now they saw that someone was going to rescue her. The girl was rescued and then appeared.

The girl's beautiful eyes showed infinite fear: "I will not follow you, even if I die,"

The man smiled ferociously and said, "I'm afraid I can't help you anymore," he stretched out his hand to grab the girl, but Tang Lie stretched out his right arm to block her.

The man sneered: "Why, you want to stop me,"

Tang Lie stared at the man coldly and said, "Her life is mine."

Many people in the crowd had already joined in. The helpless look of the girl had already aroused the sympathy of many people. Some people shouted: "This strong man is right. He saved the girl's life. Her fate should be saved." Belongs to this strong man,"

The man nodded bitterly and said: "Now, your life is also mine," he waved his hand, and six big men behind him stepped forward to surround him at the same time.

Before they could get closer, Tang Lie's body had already rushed out like a cheetah, punched the man's jaw, and sent his burly body flying backwards into the air. His left hand hung the man on his waist like lightning. The long sword was drawn out and arced around. The cold sword light passed over the heads of the six big men like lightning. Each of them felt a chill and numbness in their scalps, but Tang Lie cut off the top of their heads with one knife. The long-haired people were so frightened that they all stood there dumbfounded. After a while, they howled in terror and ran away one by one.

Tang Lie walked towards the leading man coldly. The man's face was bleeding, but he was unable to get up from the ground. Tang Lie patted his cheek with the blade of his blade, his eyes showing infinite murderous intent.

"Cuttlefish," Pu Longqi stood up from the crowd in time. He had already sensed Tang Lie's strong murderous intention. If he didn't stop him in time, he was afraid that the man would definitely lie dead on the spot.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Tang Lie's lips, and the long knife in his hand suddenly stretched forward, and inserted into the ground next to the man's right cheek amidst everyone's exclamations. The man was so frightened that his face turned pale and he fainted.

Fuling also came to the crowd holding an umbrella, stretched out her hand to help the girl up, and said softly: "Is this sister okay?"

The girl shook her head, had mixed feelings for a while, and cried loudly.

At this time, the crowd dispersed in panic. Tang Lie raised his eyes and looked ahead. It turned out that the six people who had just escaped had moved in as reinforcements. About thirty people with weapons in hand rushed towards their position.

The young girl saw that the situation was not good and said with tears in her eyes: "My dear friend, this matter has nothing to do with you. I will just go back with them."

Before Tang Lie could speak, Pu Longqi said: "They are a bunch of shameless scum, Cuttlefish, teach them a lesson and remember to save their lives."

Tang Lie smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pu." He grabbed the long knife on the ground and rushed forward, rushing into the camp of more than thirty people like a strong wind. The sound of wailing could not be heard endlessly. The warriors immediately discovered that they were with Tang Lie. Being an enemy is an unwise choice. Tang Lie showed up with a sword. Fortunately, Pu Longqi warned him beforehand. He paid attention to the scale when he started. He chose a non-fatal place when the blade penetrated the opponent's body, and only touched it a little. Even so, there were already More than a dozen people fell to the ground with swords, and the remaining warriors were so frightened that they dispersed crying for their fathers and mothers.

A satisfied smile appeared on Pu Longqi's lips. He nodded appreciatively, turned to Fuling and said, "Bring this girl to our car to rest first."
