C176 Uncognito
Cihang saw the change in Du Qi's expression and said, "This poor nun rented a boat for the people she hired to protect her to go to the capital. We need to be fast. But to go to the capital faster, if you want to play, it is much more convenient than taking a passenger boat. What is there to be unhappy about, benefactor? "
Du Qi could not help but feel happy when he heard that. He called out, "What? That ship is actually contracted by junior sister?"
Cihang said, "Although it came from the intention of a poor nun, it is not run by a poor nun. Looking at the expression on Benefactor's face, I know that Benefactor will not decline."
Du Qi said, "If I decline, can I resign?"
Cihang said, "That is not possible, because this is also your responsibility."
Responsibility, why was it responsibility again? Du Qi could only smile bitterly in his heart. He remembered what Dongfang Boluan said and asked, "What is that person's background? He actually made junior sister personally arrange a boat for him, and also personally asked me to protect him."
Cihang said, "She was originally ordered by her father to rush from Zhang Province to the capital to deliver a letter, but unexpectedly met Yuchi Chaofeng before she even arrived at Mount Wuyi. He forcefully brought her by his side, and it was only when we were outside Maple Forest Mountain Manor that she was rescued by us."
There was no need for Cihang to say anything more, Du Qi also understood that the person he was going to protect was the beautiful young man who followed by Yuchi Chaofeng's side that day. Seeing Yuchi Chaofeng's reliance and high regard for that young man, no one could think of their relationship. They thought of the young man's appearance. Du Qi could not help but feel his heart beat faster. Was she like him, always thinking about her?
After finally calming down his agitated mood, Du Qi could not help but ask, "Junior sister, what is her background?"
Cihang said, "She is the only daughter of Zhang Prefecture's General Ma Wenliang, Ma Yuxiao."
Du Qi asked curiously, "Since she is the descendant of the family of generals, why would she go to the capital alone and be caught by Yuchi Chaofeng?"
Cihang said, "It is a long story. It will start from the year before. At that time, the Nihon thief, Mao Haifeng, led the Nihon pirates to attack Cen Port because of Governor Hu Zongxian. Yu Dayuv, Qi Jiguang, and others were ordered by Hu Zongxian to attack the bandits, but Hu Zongxian did not provide any help. This caused Yu Dayuv and Qi Jiguang to be short of soldiers and food, and they could not attack for a long time. More soldiers were killed and wounded, and another group of new pirates returned to the Shen Family. It was the Ming army that suffered a great defeat. A year ago, the Japanese pirates once again swept across Minjuan and occupied Quanzhou. They attacked Zhang Province and other places. For this reason, Imperial Censor Li Hu had submitted a memorial to impeach Hu Zongxian. Hu Zongxian suspected that Yu Dayuv had provided Li Hu with some insider information, so he submitted a memorial. He had accused Yu Dayuv of entrusting Cen Port's defeat to Yu Dayuv. He had said that the blame for the defeat of Cen Port was Yu Dayuv's incompetence in battle. Because of this, Yu Dayuv was imprisoned and taken away from the world. At the beginning of this year, the Japanese had offended Zhang Province again. Ma Wenliang, the governor of Zhang Province, led his army and fought with the Japanese for several months. In the end, he was defeated because he fought alone. In the end, his army was exhausted and he was seriously injured."
Hearing this, Du Qi could not help but recall the brutality and shamelessness of the Ninja just now. Those people who lived in the Nihon region had no idea how much suffering they would have to suffer. He couldn't help but angrily say, "The Japanese pirates are so despicable. I will kill them if I have the chance!"
A glint suddenly flashed across Cihang's calm eyes. She sighed and said, "Almsgiver's current evil aura is surging to the sky. It is not a good thing to continue like this!"
Du Qi could not help being shocked and quickly said, "Thank you for Junior Sister's reminder, but those small Nihon pirates really went too far. They make people lose their temper and wish to kill them to vent their anger!"
Hearing Du Qi's words, Cihang's eternally unchanging smile could not help but change a little. However, she still said lightly, "Those Japanese pirates have done many evil things. It is also a good thing to get rid of them. I am just reminding you not to let your anger cloud your mind. They are addicted to killing. "
After a pause, Cihang continued the topic from before, "After Ma Wenliang lost the battle, after thinking about it carefully, he thought that if Yu Dayuv was still there, those pirates did not act so fierce, so when he was seriously injured and could not be cured, he was dying. His beloved daughter, Ma Yuxiao, went to the capital with her family's treasured saber. She passed Hu Zongxian and directly reported the situation of the Japanese in Zhedong and Minjuan. At the same time, she complained about Yu Dayuv's wrongdoings to the former governor of Zhejiang. "
When Du Qi found out that she was the family heirloom, he was overjoyed. He then asked, "Where is she?"
Seemingly knowing what Du Qi was thinking, Cihang said," She is now in a very safe place. Almsgiver, you can meet her on the boat tomorrow. As for how you will get on the boat, I don't need to worry about it, right? "
Du Qi said, "Junior sister had already booked the day to get off the boat a few days ago. Did you calculate that I will definitely make it on this boat and will definitely agree to junior sister's request?"
Cihang said, "Due to the time constraint, we originally planned to send someone else to send her to the capital. Who knew that almsgiver would coincidentally arrive, so we have to trouble almsgiver to escort her along the way."
Du Qi secretly sighed again and then asked, "Who else is with her?"
Cihang said, "Other than my two senior sisters who disguised themselves as servants, she has no one else by her side. Now that we have found benefactor, she will be the only one who will board the ship and travel tomorrow."
Du Qi said, "Junior sister, aren't you being too flamboyant?"
Cihang said, "This is called putting one's life on the line to fight. Only in this way can it be easy to distinguish between friend and foe, and also be able to guard against the disturbance of people with ulterior motives."
Du Qi saw that Cihang would answer every question and would explain everything clearly. He did not talk about what to do after sending Ma Yuxiao safely to the capital, so he could only ask, "When will my mission end?"
Cihang seemed to have a plan in mind and said without thinking, "Since we have handed her over to benefactor, her everything will naturally be arranged by benefactor. Benefactor, why do you need to ask the poor?"
Du Qi was surprised and said, "If after the matter is done, she still does not have a good place to go, could it be that she will continue to follow me?"
Cihang said, "That's right!"
Du Qi was happy when he heard that. He said with some excitement, "That's good. I think those bastards also came for her. We are arranging some people to follow the boat to the capital to protect her. We can also uproot them at the same time. It will help the people get rid of this disaster! "
Cihang said, "Almsgiver Ma is from the capital. Although he is not a big figure, we cannot easily touch him. The interpersonal relationships in the capital are even more complicated. Almsgivers must think twice before doing anything."
Du Qi saw that Cihang had stood up before she finished speaking and could not help but laugh," What are you afraid of? At most, we will cause a ruckus in the capital! Junior sister's goal has already been achieved. Should we send off the guests?"
Cihang said," Almsgiver's disaster has passed. He should be able to return. "
Du Qi laughed and stood up. "Junior sister's words are not funny. Please!"
Cihang's smile seemed to be a little stronger. Her voice also contained a trace of relief after being relieved of a burden. She seemed to be a little pleased as she said, "Almsgiver, please follow me!" As she spoke, Cihang had already floated up and ran towards the direction she had come from earlier. Du Qi lightly whistled and followed closely behind Cihang. Looh Miaoer, Lee Shizhen, Pang Xian and Dongfang Boluan naturally did not dare to be neglectful. They hurriedly followed and jumped up. They all followed behind Du Qi.
