Seventh Master, Madam didn't go back to the mansion today.

The boatman took Qi Yutao and rowed vigorously to drive the boat to the middle of the river.After confirming that there were no pursuers, Qi Yutao finally couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart, hugged the boatman and cried bitterly for Shrike.

The boatman rolled his eyes towards the sky, he was not used to venting his nasty emotions, so he pushed Qi Yutao in disgust: "My shoulders are wet from your crying, even a big man is still crying like this!"

"You don't cry when your brother dies." Qi Yutao wiped away his tears, unable to hide his sadness.

The boatman shook his shoulders and shook him off: "Huh, in this world, everyone hurts others, so what brotherhood is there? Even in modern times, I wouldn't cry for others."

Qi Yutao wiped away tears, suddenly felt strange in his heart.He leaned towards the stern to observe, this boat seemed to be different from ordinary boats, a random stroke could make the boat travel farther and faster than ordinary boats.It was precisely because of this that they were able to easily escape the hunt.

"Hey, why does your boat feel faster than ordinary boats? Even the killers just couldn't catch up." Qi Yutao asked tentatively.

"I designed this myself. The sail is designed to control the sailing angle of the airflow line. The hull is a streamlined hull designed using water ripples, which reduces the resistance of the water flow to the hull. The oars slide and connect. As for the spiral drainage device at the stern, the material is also combined with Archimedes’ principle... You don’t understand after all.” The boatman sat down and took a toothpick to pick his teeth.

"Hey! This is really good! Brother! If the overlord of Western Chu had a boat like you back then, he wouldn't have killed himself in the Wujiang River." Qi Yutao teased.

The boatman didn't speak, but looked straight at Qi Yutao. After a long while, he suddenly dropped the toothpick, walked towards him, grabbed his collar and fumbled all over his body.

Qi Yutao immediately covered his chest and resisted: "What are you doing! I'm not Brokeback Mountain!"

The boatman didn't seem to hear what he said at all, and continued to fumble around, even groping underneath.

Qi Yutao quickly shrank back: "Hey, hey, hey!! What do you like about me, you."

The boatman rolled his eyes: "I'm not interested in men. Robbery!!"

"Ah, you are a river robber, why don't you take the right path?" Qi Yutao kept chattering.

The boatman fumbled for a long time, let go of Qi Yutao in disgust, and snorted coldly: "Fuck, you don't have a penny on you! Did you go out without money? It's a waste of money!"

Suddenly, he touched a piece of jade pendant on Qi Yutao's waist, took a look at it, and said: "Qi Yutao."

"Are you Qi's surname? The royal family?" the boatman asked.

"Yes, I'm the son of Prince Rong, what do you want!" Qi Yutao just wanted to use his identity to suppress the restless boatman, but he got goosebumps from the other party's gloomy sneer.

"Hmph, I'll tie up the Heavenly King too!" After finishing speaking, he put Qi Yutao on the sack.

The boatman drove the boat to the shore, dragged and tied Qi Yutao back to the cellar of his thatched cottage in Yuhai Village along the way, took down the sack, and tied Qi Yutao up with a rope.

"Hey! How dare you tie me up!" Qi Yutao glared angrily!

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time." The boatman deliberately took out a knife, sat not far from Qi Yutao and began to sharpen the knife.From time to time, I picked up the knife to see if it was sharp enough.

Qi Yutao's eyes widened: "Hey! Cannibalism is against the law!!"

The boatman looked up at Qi Yutao contemptuously, and kicked him on the head: "Who wants to eat you? I don't have that strong taste. I said I exchanged you for money. You should be able to exchange a lot of money as a prince." " After finishing speaking, he patted Qi Yutao's face with the back of his knife.

"Hey, I'm worthless, my father doesn't care about me, I'm the one who has the most status in the whole palace! Just let me go, I have to go to Yuhai Village to investigate the case!" Qi Yutao flattered Said.

"Investigate the case? What case are you investigating?" The boatman paused for a while and asked with his head down.

"Two days ago, someone told me that the county magistrate of Qiyuan County is doing all kinds of evil here, collecting people's fat and people's anointing! I'm here to secretly visit the people."

"It's finally here." The boatman got up and untied Qi Yutao.

"If you can really help our Yuhai Village to seek grievance." The boatman suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Qiye, cupped his hands and said, "I have something to ask."

"Hey! Brother, you don't need to be too polite." Qi Yutao quickly helped him up, "Just tell me if you have any grievances."

"I came to this place inexplicably before. I was helpless. The old farmers at the foot of the back mountain took me in. They gave me free food and drink, and I was in love with their daughter. I finally planned to stay here. Stay and marry a wife and have children to spend this ordinary life..."

"Unexpectedly, the good times will not last long. The Daotai Master and the Qiyuan County Magistrate wanted to forcibly take away the old man's living fields, but the old man refused to agree. Who would have thought that these beasts set fire to the old man's house while I was away, and burned him to death. The old man’s family even snatched Binglan and sent people to hunt and kill me all the way, so that I had no choice but to become a river robber to make a living..."

Speaking of the excitement, the boatman's eyes were about to burst, and the hand holding the knife turned white from excessive force.

Qi Yutao patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Brother...do you know why they want to rob your fields?"

"Because they want to use our fields to plant yinn halls! As far as I know, the 10 taels of disaster relief money originally allocated to Gaoshan Village was also embezzled by them. They also imposed additional taxes and joined forces with wealthy businessmen to rob , oppressing the people, doing all kinds of evil!"

"This Xu Yueze took the position of magistrate in just two years, and promoted his cronies to the position of magistrate. There must be someone behind them to support them!"

"Huh!! I'm so angry! Is there still the law of heaven?! They even sent killers to kill me! I'll go back and take care of these dog officials!" Qi Yutao scolded excitedly.

"Your Majesty Tao, you are so proud! If I had a younger sister, I would marry her to you!" The boatman changed his gloomy aura just now, his eyes were full of admiration.

Xiao Qiye didn't take it seriously, turned around and asked: "By the way, don't you know the honorable name of the righteous man?"

"Song Yicheng."

When Song Yicheng said his name, his eyes were slightly red.

too long!It's been too long since anyone asked my name!

It turned out that I was chasing my cousin in the car and had a car accident. When I woke up again, I appeared in this ghost place inexplicably. I couldn't understand what I was talking to, and I was kicked out as a lunatic.After three days of wandering and starving, he was taken in by a kind old farmer, but the old farmer was killed by a traitor. He vowed to avenge the old farmer's family!

Song Yicheng decided to grab Xiao Qiye as the last straw, and led him to a small road, to the front of a mountain: "Qi Ye, let's climb over this mountain, and we will leave Qiyuan County. There should be no killers chasing you here. Come."

"Ah!!" Song Yicheng had just finished saying that when several black-clothed killers flew over from above his head.

Song Yicheng was slapped in the face on the spot.

"Didn't you say it was safe?" Qi Yutao felt speechless.

"Oh, the river is just next to it, I forgot!!" Song Yicheng remembered his stupidity when he saw the river next to him.

The killer surrounded the two of them, Song Yicheng panicked, he pressed against Xiao Qiye's back tightly: "Qiye, I don't know how to fight, I don't have martial arts!!"

"At that moment, you take the opportunity to run!" Qi Yutao put on the action of responding, ready to fight.

"But you are the only one here, how can you beat these eight big men??" Song Yicheng was a little worried, thinking about ways to escape.

"I can't fight..." Suddenly, a killer flew up from behind and slashed at him with a knife. Qi Yutao barely avoided it by turning sideways, "I...have to fight!!"

Several people fought fiercely, Qi Yutao kept protecting Song Yicheng behind him, Song Yicheng had no choice but to pull his clothes and turn around.

In an instant, a killer suddenly attacked from behind the two of them. Qi Yutao heard the sound and leaned over to dodge with lightning speed. Then he dodged into the crowd and beat him with bare hands. Even those who reacted slowly could not see him clearly. Exactly how many punches were thrown, the killers were a little overwhelmed, Qi Yutao turned around and shouted to Song Yicheng: "Go! You go!!"

"Qi Ye, you have to be careful!!" Song Yicheng glanced at him, then ran away without looking back.

Qi Yutao turned sideways, grabbed the knife in the killer's hand and stabbed out with a sword, and the killer's stomach was immediately covered with blood. Qi Yutao, who was holding a weapon, didn't have so much effort to face these Xiao Xiaoxiao.But not far away, a person who had been observing their fighting scene had a cold glint in his eyes. Looking at Qi Yutao's back, that person waved his hand, and instantly fired all arrows.

Qi Yutao pushed away the rushing killer, took the time to quickly defend against Jian Yu.

A heavy archer hid on an ancient tree next to him, quietly aimed at Qi Yutao's back, and shot fiercely.

"Swoosh——" Two sharp arrows shot through Xiao Qiye's chest.

Qi Yutao knelt down on one knee while supporting a sword, barely supporting his body.The blood soaked Xiao Qiye's entire clothes, he clutched his chest, and wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth with his sword-holding right hand.Suddenly he saw the reflection of the knife on the ground again, and he continued to stand up and fight, but he had no strength to wave the sword in his hand again, and was chopped several times by several killers in an instant.

He fell down completely.There was no sound.

The killers came up and kicked him cautiously, but when they found nothing, they nodded to each other.

The leader of the killer was about to chop off Qi Yutao's head so that he could go back to do business, when a fast horse galloped over from a distance and knocked a killer who couldn't dodge into the air, the other killers saw that the situation was not good: "Retreat! !"

This horse is exactly the "Benz" that Song Yitao ventured out to find Qi Yutao.

Benz stayed by Qi Yutao's side and refused to leave. He even pushed his head against Qi Yutao, who was unconscious, and wailed.

Song Yicheng ran for a certain distance, and the more he ran, the more guilty he felt. After all, this is the eldest son, and all his hopes of revenge are on him. It would be great if he died!

Song Yicheng struggled for a moment, and decided to turn back to see Xiao Qiye.When he arrived at the scene of the fight just now, he found that there was no longer the man in black, only a horse standing beside Xiao Qiye.

"Master!! Master!" He ran over to test Qi Yutao's breath.

"There is still energy." Song Yicheng heaved a sigh of relief.

He looked up at the horse standing firmly beside him, and asked, "Do you know him?"

Benz was panting heavily through his nose, as if he had tacitly agreed.

"I have to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

He helped Xiao Qiye onto the horse and fixed it, then patted his ass: "Take him back quickly! He's still alive!!"

Song Yicheng looked at the galloping horse and made a prayer gesture of "Amen".
