The Crescent River is the largest and longest river in the Crescent Continent, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a river. Why do people still call it a Crescent River? That's because in ancient times, people didn't know that there would be a term like a river. Over time, they knew that it was larger than all the rivers on the Crescent Continent, but they still called it a river.

The river originates from Tianchi, the top of the Tianshan Mountains. From there, it is snow water that melts down, nourishing all the people by the river. If the Tianchi leaves and the river water is cut off, it will be the end of the entire Crescent Continent. Of course, this is a legend and is not credible, but you can imagine that if it is cut off, it will be a disaster for the people on both sides of the river, and tens of millions of people will have no place to survive.

There is the largest lake in the lower reaches of the Crescent River. Its name is Xinhu. The reason why Xinhu is named is similar to that of Yuanyang Lake. Local people like to use shapes to name the places where they live. Xinhu is indeed very similar to the shape of a heart, but it was not named in the end, but an island in the lake. To be precise, it is two islands, with only a deep canyon between them. Their shape is like a complete heart, separated, one bigger and the other smaller. Cao Gongfang was attracted by the beautiful scenery and no one lived, so he fell into this place. Because his heart was separated, Cao Gongfang named his village Duanqing Village, occupying the largest small island.

In addition to this reason, there is another one in Duanqingzhai, everyone knows it, but no one dares to mention it in front of Cao Gong. That is, shortly after Cao Gong occupied the large part of Xindao, the small part was soon occupied, but it was a little smaller, the terrain was not very flat, there was only one person living, and it was a woman.

Cao Gongfang's death has had the biggest blow to whom? In addition to his only daughter Cao Ruifeng, she occupied a small piece of the woman in the heart. The woman was named Cheng Xiuyun. She was originally a talented and beautiful singer. Although she was almost forty years old, she looked like she was still in her twenties. It was not something that ordinary people could do if she could dance on the water. It was not something that ordinary people could do if she could see her dancing on the water. She was also one of the thirteen water heroes. Because almost all the pleasure boats parked at the harbor on the bank of the Crescent River belonged to her, so there was no need to speculate that Cheng Xiuyun must have martial arts and had a good cultivation level.

Along the way, Changfeng was talking to Lin Fu for a few words while he was resting, and he didn't like to talk to Lin Qimeng. Lin Qimeng was like a wooden man and didn't speak at all. Changfeng would naturally not be stupid enough to provoke her.

Changfeng finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lin, the assassin the night before yesterday may be a woman."

"I understand, thank you for your reminder." Lin Qimeng nodded, with a very cold expression and didn't seem to care about Changfeng's questions at all.

Changfeng ran into a nail when he spoke, so he had to keep silent. It seemed that he had not recovered from the shadow of being assassinated. He told Lin Fu the same answer, and the answer he got was also ambiguous. He only said that it was probably done by the most mysterious killer organization in the world, "Minnian", who knew nothing about the others. He also said that he had sent someone to investigate and would soon have a result. It turned out that they had known it for a long time, and he was worried that they would not dare to provoke the assassin organization. There was only one person who assassinated with daggers as weapons in the world, and they were women. They knew who it was. Unfortunately, Changfeng didn't understand that the world is now, so he didn't know.

Who bought the killer to assassinate Lin Qimeng? In theory, it should be the enemy in the Lin family's shopping mall. Since Lin Qimeng's second master disappeared, the Lin family has stopped interacting with people from the martial arts world and is focused on running family business. It is unlikely that they will get enemies in the martial arts world.

The thirteen heroes of the Crescent River basically control all the transportation on the Crescent River. As long as the southerners who want to do business in the north or the northerners who want to do business in the south, they will have to deal with them. The Lin family in Jiangnan is one of the largest families. When the eldest general Cao’s village leader dies, they must come because they will have to decide the candidate for the next general leader at that time, so they will have to come.

All sects sent people of great importance to each other, and some of them were the hosts in person. Three days ago, people from all sides came to pay their respects to the huge Duanqing Village, who came to pay their respects to him. The one who came to receive Cao Gongqing, the younger brother of the late old master of Cao's village, was Cao Ruifeng's second uncle. Everyone was surprised why Cao Ruifeng didn't come out in person. Cao Gongqing's explanation was that Cao Ruifeng was overly sad and had a little bad health. She was resting in the back hall, so she could not come out to see guests. Therefore, everyone expressed their understanding that the pain of losing her father is a normal human nature!

Fenglin Ferry is the ferry before Changfeng. It turned out that this ferry was just a small ferry, but now it has become too busy. There are crowds everywhere on the shore, and it looks like there are all martial arts people carrying weapons, and they all went to Duanqingzhai.

The Lin family has always been a VIP in Duanqing Village. Someone had already arranged a ship to wait for them. He pulled the carriage onto the deck and waited for the ship to leave the shore before Lin Qimeng walked out of the carriage and entered the cabin. However, there were only dozens of people crowded in a small boat, and unfair curses came from the ship.

The boat was not from the Lin family, but was arranged by Cao Ruifeng, the young master of Duanqing Village, who was arranged to pick up Lin Qimeng, which shows how close the relationship between Lin Qimeng and Cao Ruifeng is.

Changfeng rode a boat when he was a child. At that time, just like those people in the martial arts world, he was crowded on a small boat that could capsize at any time. He had no intention of enjoying the scenery on the water. It was different at this time. It was the first time to board such a large passenger ship, which was fast and stable, and could still enjoy the vast lake of heart without anyone disturbing him. The kind of embracing everything and having a broad mind is really intoxicating. The wet lake wind blowing on his face is another feeling, like a baby's little hand stroking his face. The feeling is so real, and the warm feeling is really addictive.

"Sir, I've just been injured, so don't stand on the deck and have a breath. Please come and sit in it." Lin Qimeng's sweet call came from his ears.

Changfeng didn't want to look back, but there was a look of turning back in his heart, constantly urging himself to look back. He didn't know who defeated who, but Changfeng unconsciously stepped away his thighs and returned to the cabin and sat down in front of Lin Qimeng and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm not seriously injured."

"Mr. Changfeng saved Qimeng's life, which made Qimeng not only admire his knowledge, but also felt that his martial arts were beyond his reach." Lin Qimeng smiled and said to Changfeng.

It seems that she has regained her previous self-confidence, and her words reveal her demeanor as a lady from a family unconsciously, and she has the majesty of the head of the family in every move.

"Miss is too awarded. Isn't the bottomless person still injured? The assassin seems not to be injured much. The unfathomable one should be the female assassin!" Changfeng also smiled and said modestly.

"Mr. Changfeng's words are reasonable. We have ignored her. However, if she fails last time, she will definitely come again. The "secret tyrant" person will never give up until he achieves his goal. How should we deal with this situation?" Lin Qimeng asked with a sweet smile.

"Does this question be answered?" Changfeng didn't know how to answer this question, so he asked back.

"Qi Meng is just asking for advice from the teacher. The teacher is still unhappy about Qi Meng's rudeness to the husband in the carriage?" Lin Qi Meng said very politely.

Changfeng was not petty, so he hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not."

If I had known that you had worn protective armor, the dagger would not have been stabbed in at all. Why did I have to work hard to save you? It would have cost me two days of suffering.

Changfeng only knew this secret before he got on the boat, but he knew it from the unintentional conversations of the servants. It can be seen that Lin Qimeng did not think that Changfeng was his own person at all. This cannot be blamed for his unidentified identity. If it were him, he would not dare to believe Lin Qimeng easily. However, what Changfeng could not imagine was that she not only did not regard him as his own person, but also doubted whether his identity was not good for the Lin family. She was also thinking about how to deal with him!

"With my talent, I should have guessed that I was wearing anti-pay armor, so I was so calm in the carriage. But if the assassin stabbed my throat, even if I had thicker armor, I would inevitably be injured or died. Therefore, Qimeng must repay the favor of Mr.'s life-saving grace." Lin Qimeng seemed to know what Changfeng Xinli was thinking, and suddenly said to Changfeng very seriously.

Changfeng was silent and did not answer, and the cabin was silent. Lin Qimeng knew that Changfeng was a little embarrassed, so she couldn't speak, really wanted to repay her.

"Changfeng thinks that as long as the old housekeeper Lin Fu divides the work and patrols every night, it should be possible to ensure the safety of the lady." Changfeng still expressed his thoughts.

"I originally meant this, but I also have to listen to what the teacher means. First, I can hear what the teacher has better opinions, and second, I want the teacher to say it in person, so I will avoid it..." Lin Fu laughed awkwardly when he said this.

"It seems that Mr. and Master Fu have the same idea. Mr. Fu, let's discuss with Master Fu who will pay compensation to the middle of the night. When he returns home, he will make good compensation for Mr. Husband. Let's just beg you to be Qimeng's personal bodyguard for a few days!" Lin Qimeng stood up and begged to Changfeng politely, saying that Changfeng could not speak and was at a disadvantage everywhere. It was obvious that people wanted to repay him, but he became himself to repay him. What could he say? He could only nod and agree. Now he relies on others to support him. He can only bow his head under the roof?

Lin Fu was of course happy. He didn't want to live a non-human life where he couldn't rest during the day and had to patrol the night at night, because a master who was taller than him shared half of his responsibilities. As for whoever was determined by the wind in the middle of the night, he didn't care.

Of course, Changfeng had to be picked in the first half of the night. It was just the time when the cold poison broke out in the middle of the night, so the two of them had decided to go to rest.

Lin Qi dreamed that Changfeng agreed smoothly and returned to her cabin alone, leaving Lin Fu and Changfeng in the cabin.

It was almost noon, and the boat had already prepared the best food and rice, and a jar of Xuelihong that Lin Fu had been reluctant to drink along the way, and he took out all of them, which was to give Changfeng a small compensation.

Other servants were having meals on several tables aside. Someone had already brought Lin Qimeng's meals to the room where Lin Qimeng was resting in the inner cabin. This official from the Lin Mansion didn't need to worry about it.

Changfeng was drunk when he first drank Xue Lihong. He loved and afraid of her sweet taste. He was drunk and afraid of her, but he was so delicious that it was hard to let go. Finally, after weighing it, he sat down with Lin Fu and drank it together.

"I think Mr. Changfeng is not a local, right?" Lin Fu picked up his wine glass and toasted Changfeng.

"No, I am from the north." Changfeng knew that his accent could not be hidden from the old Jianghu in front of him. Although he had lived in Jiangnan for eight years, he lived alone, and his accent had not changed much, so he answered truthfully.

"I have traveled almost all the places in the north when I was young. Although my accent has changed, I should be a person near the capital. Is Mr. Lin Fu guessed correctly?" Lin Fu continued to ask.

Changfeng knew where he was from the north. When he was picked up by his master, he was still a baby. How could he know where he was born? It was just that he spent in the north when he was a child and stayed in the capital for the longest time. The rest had to wait for Changfeng to go to inspect and find out. Lin Fu was in vain to find out about his life experience. He didn't even know the person involved. How could he get something valuable from his mouth? He had to respond vaguely, "Maybe it is."

There was nothing to say when we talked further. They were all fragments. After a while, the jar of snow was red. After the two of them had enough wine, Lin Fu casually made a pot of good tea. He had only such a hobby, drinking and enjoying himself on the bow of the boat and spending his time on the boat.

The boat was getting farther and farther away from the Maple Forest Ferry, and the big boat was faster than the small boat. Soon the boat was thrown far behind, so there was no need to listen to the complaints of those people.

It takes about a day to take the water route from Fenglin to Xindao, which is Duanqingzhai. This is a normal estimate. If you have a smooth flow, you can arrive in most of the day. The big ship will not easily deviate from the route, so it will be faster!

The time on the boat is easy to pass. Lin Qimeng likes reading, and Changfeng is also a book lover. The two have common hobbies but no common topics. Changfeng and Lin Fu are actually very old, so there is nothing to talk about. As for those servants, let alone those servants. Changfeng can read books in the mansion at will. Apart from confidential documents, this may be the only benefit of being a Lin Mansion West. Of course, he reads the books that Lin Qimeng brought on the boat.

"So you are hiding here, we are about to arrive at our destination. Everyone else is packing up their things and preparing to get off the boat." Lin Fu found Changfengdao who was reading a book.

"I don't think it's a big deal, so I just found a place alone. Anyway, I have time to study." Changfeng said to Lin Fu with a smile.

"You are quiet. I have been looking for you for a long time, but Lin Fu admires you very much if you have such a high level of knowledge and study so tirelessly." Lin Fu said sincerely.

"Butler Fu is too modest. I just feel that I have been on the boat for too long, so I just pass the time." Changfeng replied modestly.

"Sir, I'm really humble. Lin Fu is not as good as Mr., both civil and military. I can't do anything except knowing some martial arts and guarding the house or something." Lin Fu said with a little inferiority.

"How did you find me?" Changfeng was unwilling to discuss this heavy topic, and smiled and changed another topic.

"It's not my niece of Qimeng. She said that you took her book and probably found a secluded place. This is the only similar preference for scholars. I went through all the places on the boat that could hide people and found them here." Lin Fu smiled.

"So that's it." Changfeng suddenly realized that she still knew me quite well, and there was a hint of joy in Changfeng's heart.

The boat was on the shore of a small dock in the back mountain of Duanqing Village. No one came to greet him. Except for Lin Qimeng and his group, everyone on the boat was all from Duanqing Village. Cao Ruifeng did not appear. Lin Qimeng seemed to have no unhappy expression. When the guests came, the host didn't come out to greet him. Isn't the relationship between them as good as others said?

The carriage was left on the boat because the ship was only prepared for Lin Qimeng and others, and they would not be used for it until they left. There was no need to worry about the carriage and horses, and there would be someone to take care of them. The road to the mountain village could only walk, and there was no need for horses.

Duanqingzhai arranged them in an independent courtyard. Lin Qimeng, Changfeng and Lin Fu each had their own independent rooms. The remaining dozen people crowded in the remaining five rooms. They seemed to be familiar with this place. They must have lived here before. Everything was quickly sorted out in a very organized manner. No need to ask the people in Duanqingzhai to know where it is. Just like at their own home, Changfeng can be sure that Lin Qimeng is a regular visitor here.

In the evening, ten more people came. Lin Fu sent a message to ask the mansion to send more experts. Needless to say, the reason was that Lin Qimeng was assassinated on the way. These ten people were sent to protect Lin Qimeng.

She didn't eat with everyone during the meal. Changfeng thought she was not used to eating simple meals like them, or she was a young and beautiful lady and their master, how could she eat with them?

In fact, Lin Qimeng was eating alone in her room to meet someone. This person was Cao Ruifeng, the young master of Duanqing Village, and a girl who was almost as beautiful as hers.

When sisters meet, they always have to express their sincerity to each other. When the closest relatives and beloved pass away, they will inevitably cry and relieve the pain of losing their father. Then they will talk about some private topics between sisters, which are not something that everyone can guess.

The meal time was a little longer, but it did not arouse anyone's suspicion, including the old Jianghu Lin Fu, because how could a girl eat like a boy?

After dinner, Changfeng patrols the night in the first half of the night. Lin Fu did not talk much with Changfeng. Changfeng flew on the roof of Lin Qimeng's room and was hidden behind the roof. You can see everything in the yard with a little look, and it is not as hard as walking back.

It turned out that there was a courtyard next to this courtyard. Changfeng was a guest, so it was difficult to find out who lived there. Moreover, the courtyard was obviously more than twice as big as this one. With Changfeng's eyesight, he could not see the end of the courtyard at night.

The lights in Lin Qimeng's room went out after about an hour. They should have gone to the chuang to rest, Changfeng guessed in his heart.

The mountain wind was soft, and the long wind stretched comfortably on the roof. At this time, a slender black image suddenly appeared from the sky.

She was capturing the moment when Changfeng was negligent. When Changfeng discovered her, she had already discovered Changfeng. When Changfeng arrived at the courtyard where Changfeng lived, the assassin wanted to discover the gaps of his opponent and then fired a fatal blow. However, her opponent tonight was the person in the house, but there were people outside who needed more precautions. All the things that had to avoid Changfeng were to endure and not reveal their whereabouts, and to hide their own messages were necessary for the assassin. All the conditions for the assassin tonight were met, because she was the chief female killer of "Secret Ninja".

She was so fast, Changfeng was faster than him, and she was still the sharp dagger. Facing the moonlight, it made people feel a gust of chill. Changfeng's soft sword had wrapped around the assassin's arm, and the tip of the sword was towards the assassin's masked headscarf. The assassin's attempt to go through the window was stopped. The assassin was very agile. He quickly used the power of the window to bounce out with the help of the window. His arm quickly left Changfeng's soft sword and floated to the roof of another house. His figure was elegant, like a fairy scattered flowers. It can be seen that the assassin must not be panicked. He must have designed a route to escape. Changfeng packed up the soft sword and jumped to chase him.

The sound of fighting immediately woke everyone in the yard. The lights in Lin Qimeng's room were lit up later. Lin Fu rushed out of the room, his clothes were already put on, and it was obvious that he was sleeping in with his clothes and was ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

"Master Fu, what's going on? Is the assassin here again?" Seeing Lin Qimeng's clothes intact were also worn on her body, it can be seen that she was not really sleeping peacefully.

"Yes, Mr. Changfeng has already chased him out." Lin Fu nodded and replied to Lin Qimeng.

"Tonight everyone should be on guard and not let the assassin come back. Mr. Changfeng is not familiar with the environment here and may not be able to catch up with the assassin." Lin Fu then instructed all his family members to say.

"Yes!" Everyone was scattered and hidden, and a net was set up in the entire courtyard waiting for the assassin to come again.

"Master Fu, why are you so sure that Mr. Changfeng cannot catch up with that assassin?" Lin Qimeng asked Lin Fu.

"Assassin will definitely investigate the terrain and will definitely leave a way out. We just came here. Mr. Changfeng came here for the first time. No matter how high his martial arts skills are, he does not know the path, and is not familiar with the environment, he will definitely be led away by the killer and then secretly comes back." Lin Fu explained.

"The assassin is pulling the tiger away from the mountain, and then..." Lin Qimeng understood as soon as she heard it.

"Yes, the assassin has had the experience of the last time. He knows Mr. Changfeng's strength. As long as he attracts Changfeng away, he can assassinate the lady smoothly. I hope I have to suspect that I will not make any mistakes, otherwise I will be in vain tonight." Lin Fu continued.

"I have put on the Tiancan Silk Armor. The assassin still doesn't know this secret, so I'm still safe tonight." Lin Qimeng added.

"It's better to be careful. The assassin will definitely collect the other party's information before assassination. There may be some mistakes and let the other party escape. There are many assassins who miss the first time, and the assassin who makes the same mistake the second time is an idiot assassin." Lin Fu reminded Lin Qimeng.

Now Changfeng is chasing the assassin, and Lin Fu is the most powerful martial arts here. Only he can take over Changfeng's mission in the first half of the night.

I don’t know if God is helping the assassin, or God is testing Lin Fu and others. In less than a moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds and soon blocked the moonlight. This is really a good opportunity to kill people.

Dong, Dong... The dull knock on the door spreads in the yard.

Lin Fu suddenly realized it and called a servant and said, "Go and have a look. It's midnight, who is knocking on the door?"

The servant responded and pulled out his knife and walked gently towards the door. He first made a gap and looked out. There were three people standing at the door. The servant knew only one of them. The servant was the young man in gorgeous clothes who had come to the mansion with the owner of Ouyang Manor in Sunrise Villa the night before yesterday and hurriedly closed the door and told Lin Fu.

Lin Fu thought that there must be something important when he was still visiting so late, so he ordered: "Let's go and have a look."

The door opened. When he saw the person clearly, Lin Fu first clasped his fists and said, "It's so late, what's the point of bringing people to him? My eldest lady is already asleep."

Lee Hsien-long followed the etiquette of his juniors: "Hsien-long came with his senior brother and junior brother to help Fu General Manager protect Miss Lin."

"Young Master Li, no need. The Lin Mansion has sent more people here. Please go back and say that the Lin Mansion is grateful for the concern of Ouyang Mansion." Lin Fu dislikes such playboys the most, and of course he does not want such people to approach Lin Qimeng.
To be continued...
