It wasn't until the time when it was time to weigh anchor that Ning Junwu and his men hurried back to the ship.
The trip was still going on as planned, and a dispute at the dock seemed to have nothing to do with whether Chu Ji's boat was painful or not.
This is certainly not the case.
The number of girls visiting each other's cabins increased significantly, and several of them, who were not close friends at first, came to Xia Xiaodong's place to chat with her on some pretext.
However, based on Xia Xiaodong's observation, they did not necessarily come to him specifically to inquire, but were looking for people one by one who knew the information and could gossip.
It wasn't until after lunch on the second day, when the impetuous situation on the boat had eased and everyone had gone to sleep, that Ning Junwu found the opportunity to meet Xia Xiaodong.
The reason for the meeting was grand, of course, to cooperate with the investigation.
You also have the responsibility to watch the excitement, and you should always talk about what you see and hear.
The meeting place is also very grand.
It is in the central cabin.
This place is particularly large and is used as a banquet place.
However, because the girls ate in the cabin, it was idle.
Occasionally, the maids who were not on duty would gather here to play horse racing and bet a few small coins.
Ning Junwu looked around and saw no other people poking their heads, so he openly stretched out his hand, took Xia Xiaodong's hands, and asked, "Are you scared?"
Xia Xiaodong looked at the two guards behind Ning Junwu.
The two men were looking at the portholes on the left and right respectively.
They obviously thought that the water outside the window was much more beautiful than the beauty in front of them, and they were fascinated by it.
They should all be Ning Junwu's confidants.
Xia Xiaodong held his hand for a while and whispered: "I'm fine.
How is the situation now?"
"Hmph."
Ning Junwu snorted, with a bit of anger in his voice: "This group of people followed them all the way from Langfang Mountain.
Thanks to their good feet, they were afraid of being discovered on the water, so they came down by land. " We took the water route, of course, because the land route in the same direction was difficult.
There are mostly mountains on both sides of the strait.
Where there are no mountains, there may not be flat official roads.
It is indeed not easy to follow the land route.
"Are you here for me?"
Xia Xiaodong asked.
"Probably."
Ning Junwu nodded, his thick eyebrows knitted tightly: "Actually, it's for both of us.
If something happens to you, I, the messenger, will also be to blame."
Ning Junwu showed a bitter look when he mentioned the words "send-off messenger" and sighed: "I wish you didn't have to go to Daqi.
I didn't expect anyone else to have the same thoughts."
"Who is it" "The leader is dead."
Ning Junwu said this.
A dead man cannot speak.
"By the way, I'll give this back to you."
Ning Junwu handed something from under the table.
It was the flying knife.
The blade was wrapped in a thick cloth to prevent accidental injury.
Xia Xiaodong smiled, took the opportunity to take out his hand, and reinstalled the flying knife on the inside of his arm.
This flying knife was given by Ning Junwu.
Ning Junwu briefly introduced the situation.
Some of them were even discovered after the ship had weighed anchor.
It seemed that they had their own source of information.

The people who were planning to take action were actually not locals from that dock, but what was commonly known as the Dragon Crossing the River.
They probably planned to flee immediately after finishing the job, so they even skipped the formalities of visiting the dock.
The so-called dock worship means that people from other places have to say hello to the local bosses when they arrive at the place, and usually give some gifts to explain what they want to do.
Generally, after something is accomplished, if there is any gain or reward, some of it will be shared.
Correspondingly, you can also get care from local bosses while you are there.
The advantage of not using the pier is that besides saving money, it is also difficult to find.
Black and white, no matter how well-informed a person is, it is impossible to know everything in the world.
Suddenly, a group of people ran out of Bala.
After doing a job, they disappeared without a trace.
Everyone was immediately caught blind.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is easy to find.
This easy to find corresponds to the hard to find above.
The thing was done and the run was successful, but of course it was hard to find.
But if something goes wrong, or the escape does not go smoothly, then these people from other places will be as conspicuous as pearls in the sand.
No one was willing to take responsibility for them.
Eyesight and hearing provided clues one after another, and they could be found in no time.
The local boss is not stupid.
He didn't even confiscate the greeting gift.
Why should he cover it up for them?
Is there any rules?
Besides, once he covers it up, the government will press hard.
If he doesn't get it right, he will have it on his head. .
"Actually, they only have four men and three women.
The others were hired temporarily with money."
Ning Junwu waved his hand to one of the guards behind him and brought over the leaf cards placed on the other table.
Ning Junwu drew seven cards and didn't look at the cards.
He only used the backs of the cards, four in a row and three in a row.
"This person seemed to be the leader, but he died later."
General Ning Jun turned the one in the upper row sideways to indicate that he had been eliminated.
He must be the one who has Xia Xiaodong's flying knife in his heart.
"Of these three women, only one was still alive at the time."
Ning Junwu showed no mercy and turned over the two cards in the lower row.
"That little girl is dead too."
In Xia Xiaodong's memory, the woman was only stabbed in the right chest, which was also fatal.
"Well, I vomited a lot of blood and foam, and it took me seven hours to die."
Ning Junwu said coldly, as if seven hours was too little.
Xia Xiaodong felt that this little girl was a bit pitiful.
She was so young and was probably just being taken care of by her sisters, but she died so miserably.
But the knife on her body was actually thrown by an accomplice, but there was nothing to say.
"I know these people."
Xia Xiaodong stretched out his slender fingers and scanned the three cards in the lower row.
"know" "Well, or it's more accurate to say, know.
In fact, I only heard his voice before but never saw him."
Xia Xiaodong raised his head and looked at Ning Junwu: "Do you remember what happened at the Summer Resort last time?"
Of course I remember, how could I forget.

"It was these three people who pretended to be palace maids and captured me in the secret room."
Xia Xiaodong frowned slightly and thought about it carefully: "I couldn't recognize them before they opened their mouths, but I knew it as soon as they opened their mouths.
It’s definitely true.”
Thinking back to the time when Xia Xiaodong was stuffed in the dark bag, and later when he was hiding behind the rocks, he actually heard a lot of the conversations of these three women, and became quite familiar with their voices.
"I should have seen one of them before," Xia Xiaodong continued, "but I still can't recognize her.
Their makeup skills are very good." "" Ning Junwu said nothing with a sullen face.
Princess Anning and Ning Twenty-eight had previously teamed up to plot the plot.
Although these two masterminds did not end well, other people involved still slipped through the cracks.
Unexpectedly, I met him here again.
This time, who hired these people:
