The Rebirth of a Star General

Chapter 28

The rain also looked black.

Heaven and water meet. In the gloomy sky, the flames of the fishing boat were bright and dim, as if a ghost from across. The last tick of the zither faded, and the night became very quiet.

At this moment, the scream of a woman pierced through the long night.

"Murder, murder——"

On several small boats gathered away from the yacht, the guards sat together, waiting for a signal from Fan Cheng. Suddenly, they heard a sad cry and were all shocked.

"What the hell is going on? It's been so long. Why is he still making trouble? " ask the leader of the guard.

"Young Master did not send a personal message. Let's just wait a minute" said someone.

After being Fan Cheng's guard for so many years, the most important thing was to guess his master's thoughts. They're used to this kind of thing. Fan Cheng had been the young master of the Fan Family for many years. Other than the women who threw themselves at him, he had also destroyed many good families. The situation tonight has happened more than once. The poor woman would be abducted into a boat or an outer residence, letting Fan Cheng humiliate them. Once the matter was over, he would give them some money to send them away. The women were poor and had nowhere to shout their grievances, so they could only let go.

He Yan will also be one of them.

Originally, Madam He loved Fan Cheng very much, so he didn't need to go through so much trouble. Who knew that after the commotion at the door of the Fan Family, he would be completely enraged and wanted to sever all ties with Fan Cheng. Fan Cheng's mind was aroused. If the soft approach does not work, then he will use the hard approach.

What these guards needed to do was to bring He Yan to Fan Cheng and deal with the aftermath.

"I feel like something's wrong." The guard leader stood up and stood at the bow of the boat to observe the situation. He saw that Fan Cheng's yacht was swaying violently in the river. From the breadth of the sway, it seemed like someone was fighting inside.

"No, there's a problem!" he shouted, "Everyone is awake! Something's wrong with the boat! "

The other people were shocked and quickly rowed their small boat towards the boat. When they were still some distance away, they suddenly saw a woman running out of the boat. The woman stumbled and her movements panicked. It was He Yan. He seems to be hiding from someone. He screamed and fell into the river.

He was quickly drowned by the rushing river, almost without making a sound. Like Shi Tou, he simply stirred a bunch of ripples on the surface of the water, and then there was no more movement.

"Young master!" The guard could not help but shout.

No one cared about He Yan's life or death. When the small boat was about to reach the boat, the leading Royal Guards used their light skills to sweep the bow of the boat and climb onto the boat. He took a few steps into the boat and saw someone on the boat with his back to him. It was a man. His face was covered in a handkerchief and only his eyes were visible. Under the dim lights, his face was blurry. And at his feet, Fan Cheng lay on his back in a pool of blood.

The masked man was holding a dagger in his hand.

The Imperial Guards were shocked. He didn't think there would be anyone else on the ship. Looking at Fan Cheng, he was afraid of most likely going against him. For a moment, he was shocked and angry. Without a second thought, he threw himself at the masked man. "You dare!"

The masked man sneered and started fighting with the Imperial Guards.

The sound of fighting was heard from the boat. The boat was shaking harder and harder. The other Imperial Guards also followed to the boat. The masked man saw there were many people on the other side and did not continue the fight. He slashed the sword of the Imperial Guards and jumped into the river without thinking.

"Catch her!" The leader of the Imperial Guards shouted. "He killed the Young Master!"

Everyone followed, but they discovered that the masked man was extremely cunning. All the Imperial Guards boarded the ship. They thought he had jumped into the river, but he actually boarded the small boat they came from.

This is the center of the river. Although there are people who know how to swim, the night is too dark and it is difficult to avoid danger. But the small boat was light and thin, so it moved very quickly with the flow. The boat was slightly heavier, so even though some people were paddling together, they were still half a step behind the masked man.

One in the front and one in the back, amidst the drizzle, no one saw the fight in the middle of the river.

Even though it was night, it was not too late. Spring had arrived, and there were still hawkers trading on both sides of the river. They saw a masked man suddenly rushing from the dock. He came in haste and knocked down countless sellers. Following behind him was a group of Royal Guards. Their murderous aura was terrifying.

"What the hell is going on? Why are you in such a hurry? “The peddler whose stall was knocked down did not dare to say anything. He bent down to pick up the fruits scattered on the ground.

"It looks like there's been a murder. Look at the people chasing him. They're not ordinary people."

"The sky pityes us. Why has it been so messed up lately?"

The water on the river bank smelled fishy. Suddenly, a hand came out of the water. First, he grabbed Shi Tou at the beach. Then, the entire person was pulled out of the water, carrying a fishy smell.

He Yunsheng's entire body trembled. He did not dare to move too early in case he was caught. He dived underwater for a long time before he quietly swam downstream. Right now, his face was pale and his lips were purple. He did not know if it was because the river water was too cold for too long or because he was just afraid.

He was still tightly holding the basket in his hand. Inside the basket was the clothes that He Yan had given him in the tailor shop. It was a basket used to store snacks on board. He Yan stuffed the clothes into the basket and covered it up. Clothes are clean and not wet with water. He took off the woman's clothes, rolled them into a ball and threw them into the basket. Then, he tied a few pieces of Shi Tou to the basket and threw the basket into the river.

The river immediately swallowed the basket.

She changed into a new spring outfit. The clothes are very well made and the style is very beautiful. There was also a robe of the same color, which was enough to hide her wet hair. As he put on clothes, his throat choked.

However, there was no extra time for him to be afraid here. He Yan's words were still in his ears.

"You should change into clean clothes and sneak home. You have to hurry."

He has to be quick.

He staggered and took a small path, walking briskly towards the house.

Looks like there are city guards in town looking for people everywhere. He Yunsheng walked and walked and heard people talking on the street.

"I heard that someone on the ship died a terrible death."

"Who?"

"I don't know. It was the young master of a large family. Don't you see the city guards looking for people everywhere? "

"There are so many people. The killer must have had wings and could not escape. Maybe they caught him. Aiya, the rain will not stop. My clothes are all wet. "

The discussion gradually faded until it was no longer heard.

Faster, a little faster.

A green-robed young man walked down the street. Her spring clothes are still thin. Perhaps because he felt cold on such a rainy day, he tightened his clothes and walked quickly home.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Pedestrians on the road who did not carry umbrellas hurriedly took shelter from the rain. The peddlers hid under the roof and shouted loudly. Passersby looking around. There seems to be no difference between tonight and last night.

"Sister.." Someone whispered to himself. Like the spring night breeze, it fell into a drizzle and disappeared without a trace.

The young man buried his head and walked forward. He didn't look back. Tears are falling.
