Chapter 46 Boarding the Ship
Early next morning.
Changning River Port.
Dozens of cargo carriages stopped in front of a large ship, and guards with swords came and went carrying the goods aboard.
There are also people standing guard a hundred meters away to prevent anyone from approaching.
This is exactly the motorcade of Prince Fu's Mansion.
Decades of accumulation is nothing. Even if the palace guards are all acquired warriors, it will take a long time to transport them all on board.
Yu Xian stood on the deck, holding a seven-star sword on his waist, holding on to the guardrail, blowing the breeze from the river. Next to him was Doctor Huang, but he wanted to bid farewell to him.
"Doctor Huang, the city is about to be destroyed. If you stay, you will have a narrow escape from death. Why don't you go north with us? You will not be short of food in the palace."
Doctor Huang stroked his goatee and said:
"Brother Yu, I am fifty-six this year. In order to research various drugs over the years, I have suffered a lot of illnesses on myself. I probably don't have a few more years to live.
As the saying goes, it’s hard to leave one’s homeland, and a fallen leaf returns to its roots. I still want to die in my hometown.
Moreover, I am a doctor, so even if the rebels come, I don’t think it will embarrass me too much. "
As he spoke, he took out a curled book from his arms.
"But things are unpredictable. If I unfortunately die, it would be a pity that this medical skill is lost. I also ask Brother Yu to find a successor for me.
Otherwise, I will have no successor for my lifelong research, and I will not be able to rest in peace even if I go to the underworld. "
Yu Xian paused, accepted Doctor Huang's inheritance, and sighed:
"It's a pity that it will be difficult to drink Dr. Huang's medicinal wine in the future."
Doctor Huang responded with a smile and said: "I am honored to have a confidant. The journey is high and the water is far away. Brother Yu, have a safe trip. We will meet again in the future."
He turned around and strode off the boat, his back looking somewhat cool for some reason.
Yu Xian put away Doctor Huang's medical skills and turned his eyes to the third person aside.
"Ding Gongfeng, you are an elder of the Changle Sword Sect, why do you want to follow us? I have given the antidote to Mr. Zhou. As long as you are willing to cooperate with him, I believe he will not fail to give you the antidote."
Ding Gongfeng smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, I would like to stay, but I'm afraid that my life will be in danger if I stay.
Mr. Zhou already had the heart to die together. Even if he promised to hand over the antidote to the city after defending the city, the others in the enshrinement courtyard would not be so willing to obey.
I have nothing to worry about. Instead of following him and risking my life, I would rather follow you north. At least my life is guaranteed.
Moreover, I was first an elder of the Changle Sword Sect, then joined the Zhuxian League, then was subdued by the Qinglong Society, then joined the Royal Palace, and now I am driven by you, the supervisor.
Now, besides following you, where else can I go? When I go back, I won’t be able to tell anyone clearly. "
Yu Xian smiled: "You are sincere."
After Ding Le discovered his identity, he sold out his origin completely.
He grew up in the Changle Sword Sect since childhood. Later, he went out to practice and accidentally learned of the existence of immortal cultivators.
After he broke through the innate realm, he joined the Zhuxian League, trying to ambush the immortal cultivators through the Zhuxian League and obtain the inheritance of the immortal cultivators.
However, with the Zhuxian Alliance's several attacks, their lives were almost lost, but their gains were nothing.
So he returned to the mountain gate and only registered his name in the Immortal-Zhu Alliance to keep an eye on the information and never forget the inheritance of cultivating immortals.
It wasn't until the first two years ago that the elder of the sect introduced him to the Qinglong Society. This was a new organization, but it was very powerful.
It is said that the president is an immortal cultivator. As long as he can make enough contributions to the association, he will have the opportunity to become an immortal cultivator. I don't know how many famous martial arts figures he has won over through this.
Ding Le received the mission from the Qinglong Society and came to the palace to work undercover.
Originally, after entering the palace, he wanted to use his spare time to establish his authority, use it to improve his status in the heart of Prince Fu, and take the opportunity to gain access to the secrets of the palace.
As a result, he was slapped by Yu Xian and was so embarrassed that he had to stop and work for the palace with all his heart.
Finally, while waiting, I contacted the contact person and passed on the information from the palace. I look forward to cooperating inside and outside, completing the mission, and becoming an immortal cultivator.
Unexpectedly, the contact person turned around and wanted to kidnap the princess and humiliate her, and almost burned him to death when he blocked the way.
Then, his undercover identity was exposed by Yu Xian, and for the sake of his own life, he had to change the door again.
It can be said that I didn't get any benefits at all, and I was forced to work by others.
Now he just wants to find a place where no one knows him, and that will be enough for the rest of his life.
"Protect the princess to Kyoto, and I'll give you the antidote and leave."
When Yu Xian saw that Ding Le wanted to stay, he let him, and in order to appease his heart, he also made a promise.
Ding Le's face lit up: "Really?"
Yu Xian said honestly: "You are already a member of the fourth surname. Even if you are poisoned by me, I don't want to keep such an unstable factor around you.
So don't worry, your value is not worth my breaking my promise. "
The poison on Ding Le's body is insoluble for ordinary warriors, but it is not very useful for immortal cultivators. Even monks in the middle stage of Qi training can help him clean up the poisonous insects with the help of Ding Le's physical contact.
He didn't have much of a position, and he betrayed him again minutes after he was detoxified. Keeping him was just to see the strength of his martial arts master, and he could be used as a handyman on the way north.
Ding Le was belittled by Yu Xian and didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said happily:
"Master in charge, don't worry, I will protect the princess and the young prince along the way."
"I'll see."
Yu Xian doesn't care.
Ding Le withdrew with hope, and even rolled up his sleeves to help the palace guards move the goods, looking like he was doing his duty wholeheartedly.
Yu Xian looked far away and saw many people on the river bank with their families kneeling in front of the port, hoping to ask the nobles to take pity on them, give them a way to survive, and leave a place on the ship for them to board.
Now that the city gates are closed and the waterways are blocked by officers and soldiers, a boat ticket is hard to come by.
These people can't afford it and can't find a way out, so they can only use this method.
After a while, I saw several stewards from big houses in the city getting off another boat. They were picking through the crowd, and some beautiful girls were picked out and dragged onto the boat.
Others watched blankly, and some even took the initiative to push their children aboard, just to get on the boat together.
"The rebels are not going to massacre the city if they break it. These big families are afraid of losing their homes. Why are you so anxious to follow them?
You got on the boat with all your wealth and no one to rely on. Do you really think you can follow it to the end? "
Yu Xian sighed secretly, he couldn't save everyone, he had to run away, and he didn't have the confidence to persuade others, so he had to look away and act like he didn't see them.
However, just when he was feeling a little annoyed, a girl's cry came to his ears.
"Please, I don't want to get on the boat. Let me go down. I want to find my father!"
He turned around and saw at the entrance on the other side of the deck, a young man with a pale face and sloppy steps, looking proudly at the girl being dragged up by two servants.
"You came here because you asked for it, but I didn't force you to do it. It just so happened that you were lonely all the way, so I accepted it without mercy.
Send it to my master's room first, and then play slowly in the evening. "
The young master laughed wildly and confessed to the steward on the side:
"Wu Liu, go down and give me more choices. It's not easy to be a good family."
Made, this is a punching bag!
Yu Xian twisted his neck, held a sword flower on his wrist, walked forward, and slapped the young master on the shoulder with his sword.
"Let her go."
