Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 410

Looking back at the pale Akui, Qin Su shook his head secretly.

Escaping is impossible and extremely risky.

So... just wait in place?
Qin Su frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head again.

Waiting in place, in other words, waiting to catch someone in the urn.It is also risky to stay where you are without knowing what is going on outside.

In comparison, escaping is still a better choice.

Thinking of this, Qin Su's heart skipped a beat, she walked quietly to the edge of the curtain, waved to Ah Kui who was guarding the cabin door, and mouthed the word "come here".

Ah Kui's pale face was full of awe.After she nodded to indicate she understood, she checked the bolt carefully again to confirm that the bolt was locked extremely tightly, and then she walked lightly into the room.

"Let me ask you, you just walked all the way to receive the meal, what's the situation outside the cabin?" Once she entered the room, Qin Su asked softly, speaking in a non-urgent manner, "I just listened to you Mei said a few words, but she didn't speak carefully, she only talked about the gangway and the porthole, and you can tell me what else."

Seeing that Qin Su asked these questions, Ah Kui was still nervous, but for some reason she let it down a bit, she frowned and thought for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "Girl, I just walked up from the bottom floor, and it was indeed the gangway. , Looking at it this way, I know that there is a half-circle corridor outside the side near the hatch, about three or four steps wide, just enough to connect the bow and stern of the ship, but there is no corridor on the other side of the ship ,also……"

She stopped here for a while, as if recalling the scene on the boat, and whispered again: "...there is the lamp on the boat, it is a copper lamp, I remember that there are such lamps outside the veranda, yes Built into the hull, it is very strong, and the lanterns were already lit when I came up. Apart from these, the verandah is very clean outside. I asked the people on the boat, and they said that it is for easy running, and no piles are allowed on the verandah Because the girl has been sleeping, I didn't have time to look elsewhere, so I came back."

"How's the situation at the bottom?" Qin Su asked again.

Ah Kui thought for a while, and said: "The bottom floor is similar to the upper two floors, with a kitchen and a utility room, and the rest are the places where the boatmen work and rest. However, ordinary people are not allowed to go to the places where the boatmen work. , so I don’t know what’s going on there.”

"That's it." Qin Su nodded, then waved her to continue guarding the gate.

Ah Kui's knowledge was also very limited, and she didn't get any useful clues after asking for a long time.

Qin Su now hopes that today's incident is caused by the silver-masked woman.

If this was a trick set up by the silver-masked girl, Qin Su wouldn't be too dangerous. She could even pretend to be drugged like last time, and then eavesdrop on some news.

However, after careful consideration, she felt that this did not seem like the method of the silver-masked woman.

First of all, the drugs are wrong.Qin Su had just checked roughly, and the drug had a peculiar smell, so it could only be put in food to cover up the smell of the drug, but it could not be used in water, which indirectly saved Qin Su from disaster.And if the silver-masked girl set this up, she wouldn't be so careless.

The second is that the time is wrong.The day before boarding the ship, Qin Su also received a message from Zhou Yu from Qingzhou, saying that everything in Dongxuan Pavilion's maid was normal.In other words, the silver-masked girl is still in Qingzhou, so it is impossible to come to Wulipu for a private meeting.

So, could this be a game set up by the silver-masked woman entrusting the man with peach blossom eyes?

Quickly thinking about various possibilities in her mind, Qin Su quietly stood by the window, listening to the sound of water waves outside the window.

At this moment, a very light sound suddenly came from outside the window, as if someone was climbing along the plank of the ship in this direction.

Qin Su's heart trembled slightly, and he immediately took half a step on his hind legs, slightly bent his knees, turned his wrists, and there was already an extra dagger in his palm.

The whole body of the dagger was pitch black, and even under the light of the candle, it had no luster at all, and it was as black as ink.

This is a self-defense item specially given to Qin Su by Li Xuandu before his departure. It is made of the most precious black steel in the Tang Dynasty.

In the previous life, Qin Su had also seen this kind of black steel weapon in the Dachen Palace, so after getting the dagger and personally inspecting its sharpness, Qin Su took it with him along with the three packs of drugs Then, never leave the body.

At this moment, Qin Su was standing with the blade in hand, although he was ready to go, his face was quiet, like a gentleman, and there was no change in his eyebrows or eyes.

The sound was very light, and Qin Su, who left the window, could no longer hear a sound.

However, based on the noise she heard just now, she could deduce that this person should be heading towards their cabin.

No matter who came, she was not prepared to sit still.

If someone with martial arts skills is here, they will definitely find that Qin Su's actions at this moment are extremely standard preparatory actions before a sneak attack: horizontal knife in front of his chest, staggered step and lower waist, and the center of gravity is biased towards the backward foot, so as to make a move. force raid.

This movement is most suitable for women with insufficient strength to attack from the body.

This still benefits from the hidden hall.

As a hidden pile, it is necessary to know one or two killing skills, and even a weak woman, as long as she masters certain skills and holds a weapon, it is not impossible to kill a strong man.

The wind was blowing against the water, and the night was silent, but in this dimly lit cabin, there was an oppressive silence.

Qin Su's eyebrows and eyes were calm, almost like an old monk in meditation, waiting steadily by the window.And Ah Kui, who was far away from the cabin door, covered her mouth tightly, watching this scene in horror, and the horror in her eyes almost overflowed her eyes.

Suddenly, a very soft and familiar female voice came from outside the window: "Is the girl here? I'm Ah Zhen."

It turned out to be Ah Zhen, Qin Su was slightly relieved.

However, the next moment, her heart rose again.

Why wasn't Ah Zhen drugged?

Could what happened today have anything to do with her?

Thousands of thoughts flew by in my mind, but Ah Zhen's voice sounded again, with obvious anxiety: "Is the girl here? Ah Kui, are you there?"

Her voice was extremely soft, but it was exceptionally clear to Qin Su and Ah Kui's ears.

After thinking for a while, Qin Su gestured to Ah Kui.

Ah Kui's already pale face became paler in an instant.However, she didn't hesitate at all, and she didn't even look at the knife Qin Su was holding in her hand. Instead, she walked quickly to the window and reached for the window bolt.

At that moment, her face was so pale that it was almost ashen, and her eyes alternately showed expressions of horror and doubt.

Ah Kui obviously couldn't understand why Ah Zhen, who was a third-class maidservant, would descend from the sky. She just instinctively carried out Qin Su's orders and dared not disobey in the slightest.

Just when her hand was about to touch the window bolt, the wooden bolt moved suddenly.

Akui let go of her hand in fright, and took two steps back before standing still, but saw that the window bolt seemed to be controlled by some force, and was moving upward bit by bit, and it was about to fall out of the pin opening underneath.
