Chapter 58 Miss Zhao

Miss Zhao had no impression of him. When she saw him suddenly rushing towards her and pulling her, she instinctively retreated and dodged.

The maid on the side moved her hand away and stood between the two of them, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course I want to save you," he said urgently, "come with me quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

"Who are you and why do you want to save us?" the maid asked.

"Why do you have so many problems? I don't have time to explain to you. If you want to leave, you can leave, or if you don't leave, you will stay and die." After saying that, he took out the detoxification blue flowers he had collected before, leaving a few flowers and the rest.

He threw it to everyone on the deck and said, "This flower can detoxify. Share a share of it and run away for your life."

Throwing down the blue flowers, he turned around and walked away. He walked to the downward escalator and looked back at Miss Zhao and others, "One last question for you, are you leaving or not?"

Mother Zhao and the maid were undecided and turned to look at Miss Zhao.

After racking her brains and risking her life, she poisoned those beggar gang thieves and finally got this moment of opportunity. If Miss Zhao hesitates, it means that she is a fool who does not distinguish between good and evil, light and heavy.

Woman, such a woman is not worthy of Chen Liqiu, he will leave immediately.

Fortunately, Miss Zhao did not miss the good opportunity. After thinking for a while, she ran towards him. Mother Zhao and the maid also followed.

At this time, many people on the deck were scrambling for the detoxifying blue flower. Some of them noticed that they were leaving and hurriedly shouted and asked, "Don't leave. What will we do if you leave?"

He had been bitten and frightened by a venomous snake before, and after running for more than ten miles from the mountains, he was almost exhausted and had already held back his anger. If he hadn't taken care of everyone on the deck, he would have killed those people directly.

The evil thieves of the Beggar Gang were poisoned to death. He had tried his best to save these people, but they were still not satisfied. So when he heard the man shouting, he replied angrily, "If you don't jump off the ship and escape, you can stay here."

Waiting to die on board."

After saying that, he ignored everyone on the deck and quickly ran to the stern of the ship with Miss Zhao and the others.

Without saying a word, he jumped directly, put the wooden stick into the cabin, then climbed on the side of the ship and waved to Miss Zhao, "Jump down quickly."

The maid lowered her head and looked down, "It's so high, how can you jump?"

"I'm not here to save you, you can stay on the boat," Chong said to the maid, then turned to look at Miss Zhao, "I'll count one, two, three, if"

Before she could finish speaking, Miss Zhao climbed onto the side of the boat and jumped off.

Seeing that she was so brave and knew the priorities, he was very impressed with her and hurriedly grabbed her and pushed her onto the sampan.

Seeing Miss Zhao jump down, Mother Zhao and the maid had no choice but to jump down. Neither of them knew how to swim. After entering the water, they struggled wildly and pushed Mother Zhao onto the sampan first, and then caught the maid.

Before the maid could be pushed onto the ship, screams could be heard from the third deck. Needless to say, some of the Beggar Gang thieves who were less poisoned had already reached the third deck.

Hearing the screams, he couldn't care less

The maid pushed onto the boat, eagerly took out her dagger and cut off the cable, then she clung to the side of the boat with one hand, holding the maid in her other hand, and drifted downstream with the current.

The maid was frightened, struggling wildly, and yelling. At this time, the boat and the official ship had not yet distanced themselves. Worried that her yelling would attract the pursuers, they tightly covered her mouth to prevent her from speaking out.

The sound comes.

After floating more than ten feet, I felt a little relieved and freed my hands to push the maid onto the sampan.

By this time, he was so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to climb onto the sampan. Seeing that he was tired and losing strength, Miss Zhao didn't just stand by and step forward, grabbing his hand and dragging him onto the boat.

Just as he climbed onto the boat, shouts and curses came from the stern of the official boat.

Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw two thieves armed with knives staggering to the stern of the boat. Seeing them escaping by boat, they cursed angrily.

At this time, the sampan was only twenty feet away from the official ship. I was worried that they would use hidden weapons, so I grabbed the oars and started paddling hard without taking a breath.

After holding on for several hundred feet, no one was chasing after me. I breathed a sigh of relief. I looked back and saw a few beggar gang thieves on the deck, killing those who stayed on the ship. Until then, those who

Only some people have the courage to jump ship, but they have no chance to jump ship.

Before turning back, Miss Zhao and the other three had already seen what happened on the official ship. The bloody scenes made them terrified. If the three of them had hesitated or delayed a little, they would have ended up like those on the ship.

Miss Zhao and Mother Zhao looked at me with gratitude, but the maid looked at him with resentment.

When he raised his hand to wipe his sweat, he accidentally saw the maid's eyes, "What are you looking at me for? Why don't I send it back to you?"

Seeing the strong tone, the maid was a little timid and said, "Why are you so angry? If it weren't for you, we would have been harmed by those strong men."

"Then why are you looking at me?" His tone softened.

"You almost suffocated me earlier." The maid muttered in a low voice.

"I covered your mouth, but I didn't cover your nose." After wiping away the sweat, he continued to rock the oar. "If you let you yell and scream, you will definitely attract them."

Mother Zhao was older and knew better etiquette, so she was the first to say thank you, and Miss Zhao and the maid also thanked her.

Seeing the seriousness and sincerity of the three people, they felt a little embarrassed, "Don't blame me if my tone of voice is not good. I don't know martial arts. I spent a lot of effort to save you."

"Young hero has given a helping hand in a righteous way, how dare we resent and blame him," Miss Zhao said.

"It's also your life that shouldn't be cut off. If there was a slight delay before, you would definitely die." He gritted his teeth and insisted, shaking the oar.

When rowing, they were still on a tributary. The current was slow and the speed was relatively slow. It was only truly safe to go to the main stream of the river.

Miss Zhao and the other three also knew that they were not out of danger at this time. They wanted to help, but there were only two oars, so they could not get their hands on them, so they could only reach out sideways and paddle with their hands.

"No, no, you are just sitting there, I can just do it by myself," he shook his head and said, "If you sway and sway, it will make me row harder."

Hearing this, the three of them could only sit in the cabin, breathing heavily to calm down the tension and excitement of escaping from death.

After finally rowing the boat into the main stream of the river, I was already exhausted. "You guys who come from downstream should know the terrain and water potential downstream. There are no whirlpools or dangerous waters downstream, right?"

"No," Ms. Zhao shook her head and said, "The water flow downstream is gentler than that upstream."

Hearing Miss Zhao's words, I felt relieved, "Then I'm relieved. This boat is too small. It can't withstand the wind and waves carrying the four of us."

After going down the river for dozens of miles, they finally regained some strength, and Miss Zhao and the three of them also stabilized their minds.

"Young hero, there is something I don't understand. I don't know whether I should ask or not?" Miss Zhao said softly.

"You want to ask me why I saved you?" he asked.

"Well," Miss Zhao nodded slowly, "Strong men know martial arts, but you don't know martial arts. Why do you risk your life to rescue us?"

"Haha," he said, holding the sculls to control the boat, "you can take a guess."

"How could I guess that?" Miss Zhao shook her head.

The maid spoke from the side and said, "Young hero, we are a family of officials, and my young lady's husband's family is a wealthy gentry. You sacrificed your life to save me, and I will thank you for the reward."

Before the maid could finish her words, she frowned and interrupted her, "Is your young lady betrothed to someone else?"

Seeing the fierce reaction, the maid thought she had guessed what he was thinking, "Young hero, we will never forget your great kindness, but"

"Wait, don't rush to say it yet," interrupted the maid again, "Tell me the truth, is it true that you just said that your young lady has a husband, or are you worried that I will take advantage of you for repayment?

, and you deliberately lied to me to ask your young lady to marry me?"

The maid didn't expect to be so smart. She shot herself in the foot because she was too smart. It's neither right to deny it nor to admit it at this time.

Seeing that the maid was embarrassed and speechless, she felt relieved and said, "You are wrong. I saved you not because Miss Zhao is as beautiful as a flower, but for another reason."

After saying this, the three of them became more and more confused, and Miss Zhao said, "Young Master, please make it clear."

"Do you still remember the night when we boarded the ship from Yuzhou? You two were talking from the stern of the ship, and I was also at the stern of the ship." He asked.

Miss Zhao didn't see it that day, but the maid did, so

The interface said, "Yes, yes, this is indeed the case."

"I was there originally, but you went later than me. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you, but I heard everything you said," he said, "I know the person you are talking about."

Mother Zhao didn't know why and looked at Miss Zhao suspiciously. Miss Zhao and the maid knew it well, but they didn't understand what the person they mentioned in the conversation had to do with it.

He didn't show off and said, "To be honest, the person you are talking about is my third senior brother."

As soon as these words came out, Miss Zhao was very surprised. She looked up and down and said, "May I ask your name, young hero?"

"I don't know what my last name is." He shook his head and said.

Since Miss Zhao asked about his name, it was natural that Chen Liqiu had mentioned him in a letter, so Miss Zhao knew his name. He said that he did not know his surname, which was equivalent to indirectly answering Miss Zhao's question.

Hearing the words, Miss Zhao began to look him up and down, with confusion in her eyes.

"My legs were healed by others, and my hair was burned by the fire." After saying this, he asked, "Miss Zhao, do you know my name?"

"Who are you?" Miss Zhao asked.

"Yes, it's me." He smiled, "I have been worried about his safety since we separated from Third Senior Brother. I heard you mention him accidentally on the boat that day, and I knew he was safe and sound."

"Li Qiu mentioned you in his letter, saying that you are gifted and have a photographic memory." Miss Zhao looked at him with affectionate eyes, much like a sister-in-law looking at her brother-in-law.

"Third senior brother is too praised." I felt a little embarrassed.

"At such a young age, he has such courage and strategy." Miss Zhao praised.

"Third sister-in-law, I'm not asking for credit. I suffered a lot in order to save you." She was in a good mood, rolled up her trouser legs and began to complain, "Look, these are all bitten by insects."

"Longworm?" the little maid was puzzled.

"Snakes, they are all venomous. There are too many snakes in the south of you." He turned around and pointed, "It's in that area. It was in that area that I swam ashore and ran for more than ten miles in the mountains."

"It's really hard for you." Miss Zhao said with pity.

"It's okay, it's okay," he waved his hand and said, "Third Senior Brother has been very kind to me. I just did what I was expected to do."

The two were chatting. Mother Zhao on the side was very confused and seemed not to know what happened between Miss Zhao and Chen Liqiu.

Miss Zhao was not only beautiful, but also intelligent. She took the opportunity to mention Chen Liqiu to her mother. Officials were not very optimistic about people in the world, but after what happened today, Zhao's mother could no longer refuse to obstruct him.
