Houmen maidservant, she doesn't want to be in power

Chapter 168 Thrilling Dragon Boat Race

Emperor Tianyuan was sitting at the bow of the dragon boat on the third floor at the moment, and sitting beside him was the newly favored Jiang Liangyuan.

At this moment, Liangyuan peeled the ice-cold grapes by herself, handed the handkerchief to Emperor Tianyuan's lips, and fed him to eat.

On the other side, Xiang Jiuyu and Xiang Guiji guarded a small ice tripod.She was born with a beautiful face, and she is most afraid of going out, because she just stays at ease, and she is not good at fighting for favor.

As soon as Princess Yuhe went up to the third floor, she saw her father was flirting with Jiang Liangyuan, who was younger than herself, she just pretended not to see her, and said that Yan Yan had to pay homage to her father before she sat on the other side of the ice tripod. .

After all, Emperor Tianyuan was concerned about his own daughter, so he immediately refused Jiang Liangyuan's feeding, Chaoyu and the princess turned their heads, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"The weather is really too hot. If I had known it would be like this, my daughter would be better off staying in the palace with my mother and concubine. It's fine now, sweating all over, and it stinks." Princess Yuhe wiped her forehead with a handkerchief Sweating in front of his face, he pursed his lips and complained.

"Haha, it's rare to come out to play, but it annoys Yuhe. Ji'er, please coax Yuhe so that she won't complain to her mother and concubine." Emperor Tianyuan spoiled his daughter so much that he threw this problem away To Xiao Jian.

Xiao Yan respectfully replied "Yes", turned the wheelchair and walked to Princess Yuhe.

Although his legs are getting better, he can't walk much right now.

As expected, he pinched the layer of powder and lightly crushed it, then sniffed it with the tip of his nose, feeling suddenly terrified in his heart.

After saying that, he loosened the edge of the window, and his body fell rapidly.

Qi Mojing slightly hooked the corner of his lower lip, looked at the underwater direction, and asked the surrounding Tiqi to shoot arrows down together.

It's a joyous time here, and a herald has long told Emperor Yuan from the outside to the inside that the dragon boat race is about to start.

The flint powder was not scattered everywhere, but mostly gathered on the side near the river bank, which was obviously done deliberately by someone.

Lu Liu was instructed by his own boss, so he took a good look at it and climbed up to the top of the dragon boat for a while.

In the end, I was worried, and turned around from the top of the boat again, and waited until nothing was missed before I got off the top of the boat.

"Are you here to kill me?" Qi Mojing saw the man's murderous intentions and attacks everywhere, even at the expense of his life, so he couldn't help but cast a cold look at the man, "Could it be the prince? Or, the second prince?"

Sure enough, the crossbow arrows in the hands of the Tiqimen fired continuously, and some of the assassins attached to the bottom of the boat couldn't dodge, and suddenly there were clusters of magnificent bright red.

Before he finished speaking, the palm came first, and one of his hands was bent into a claw, and he grabbed Qi Mojing's face directly.

Lu Liu saw that his family fell into the water with his own eyes, and hurriedly asked his brothers around him to clean up the battlefield. He jumped into the water in an instant.

The river water was already muddy.

Qi Mojing raised his foot to pick up a long spear on the ground, and stabbed straight at the drenched assassins.

Qi Mojing's lips were as red as blood, but she sighed, "You guys are really hardworking."

The man's voice was sinister, "Today, I want to see the true face of Tiqi Sidu Fan Cheng."

Qi Mojing moved on the cable several times, turned his wrists, sneaked up and down behind the man, both of them hooked their feet on the cable, fighting each other hard.

Yuhe looked around, stood up and walked a few steps forward, staring closely at the dragon boat that was speeding forward on the river.

Only after he entered the water did he realize something was wrong. There were actually several assassins hidden under the water, obviously very patient.

It's flint powder!

At the same time, with the drums of the dragon boats gathering together, the streamers of light gathered in the crowd on the river bank converged to the top of the dragon boat little by little, and there was a flash of light just across the face of the Imperial Forest Army, so dazzling that people couldn't help covering their eyes. squinted.

Although the hills on this side are quite far from the river, the people on top of the dragon boat are dressed too brightly, like a target, attracting everyone's attention.

Both of them are good fighters, each climbed onto the side of the boat, and they have already passed several moves before they knew it.Only Qi Mojing was holding on to the cable with the dragon flag fluttering in one hand, the long spear was really inconvenient, so he also took out a dagger from his waist, and tried to attack each other.

Qi Mojing barely entered the water, so he swam towards the river bank.

When the assassin heard these two names, his hands were faster, even Qi Mojing had to avoid his sharp edge and climbed to the second-floor window string with bare hands.

Anyone who is close to the river bank can clearly see that the man is holding a long knife in his hand, squatting halfway on the roof of the dragon boat, and scraping off a layer of gray powder from the wooden boat roof.

The two of them each climbed the window string and fought a few more moves. Suddenly, a cold light flashed across, and Qi Mojing's silver-white mask was cut by a cold-white dagger.

He was tense in his heart, so he took off his outer clothes, scraped off the piece of flint powder bit by bit, wrapped the clothes and put them away quietly, so as not to cause unnecessary complications.

The boat was sailing on the river, if there really was an assassin, they could only be hiding under the water.

His feet were hooked on the stretched cable, and with a turn of his body, he jumped to another cable in an instant.The assassin was right on the cable, the dagger in his hand repeatedly stabbed back and stabbed at his hand.

All of a sudden, the sound of drums on the river was loud, and the knocking sound directly hit people's hearts.

All the people in the dragon boat stopped moving, and they all looked at the several dragon boats on the river that were moving like dragons.

If he hadn't been present, how could he stage an affectionate scene in which he sacrificed his life to save his father?

In order to avoid these assassins, he quickly cut the throat of one of the assassins with the dagger in his hand, letting the blood fill everyone's sights, and then fled that area.

The assassin's palm could barely touch his mask, and he fell into the air in an instant, and then fell in an instant, so two figures, one red and one black, fell into the water together, splashing a splash of water.

When Commander Liu arrived with his men on horseback, some assassins had already seen their identities exposed, and rushed out from the bottom of the ship and climbed up to the first deck.

But he waited and waited, but he still didn't see the "adding fuel and vinegar" to the fire, and the uneasiness in his heart began to surge.

But before he had time to find out what went wrong, he heard an exclamation, and the bottom of the dragon boat instantly turned red.

Prince Xiao Ce was heading towards the third floor at this moment, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Especially Liang Zhou, with excellent eyesight, just started the dragon boat race, he raised his hand to cover the glare of the sun, and looked at the huge dragon boat.

It's just that their casualties are really large, compared with the troops of the Imperial Forest Army and Tiqisi, they really don't have an advantage.

However, one of the assassins was as swift as the wind, with a dagger in his hand, like a ghost, he made a gap in the encirclement of Yu Tiqi and the Imperial Forest Army, and came straight towards Qi Mojing.

The spear was already extremely long, and when it fell into his hands, he had the aura to challenge thousands of troops. His aura was so powerful that he drove those assassins to a corner in almost a moment, and only fought against trapped beasts.

The abnormality here quickly alarmed the Imperial Forest Army. Commander Liu sent half of his people to protect Emperor Tianyuan, and the other half rushed to the first floor to reinforce Tiqisi.
.
Not only the people on the boat realized something was wrong, but even Shi Nian and Liangzhou hanging on the tree had already sensed something was wrong.

At this time, the people on the river bank had already noticed something was wrong, dragging their families and running faster than rabbits one by one.

The surroundings are in a mess, and there are still those who are bold and backward, staying on the shore and patrolling, just waiting to pick up some valuables dropped by others and go back.

However, these people were dragging their things around when they saw the river water sloshing, and after some stirring, a man in red with a cracked silver mask emerged from the water.

　Flint powder, here specifically refers to white phosphorus powder.The writing is not rigorous. In ancient times, it only existed in the natural world, so it is not easy to mass-produce. Here, the background is set aside, and it is enough to briefly talk about it.
