Chapter 197
"Ah Chu!" Ji Yao roared.

Seeing that it was too late, the man in black who was restraining Jiang Chu suddenly turned around, hugged Jiang Chu and turned his back, and the hidden weapon that was going towards Jiang Chu was directly inserted into it. his back.

Jiang Chu froze for a moment, and still didn't understand what happened. She had clearly seen the hidden weapon close in front of her eyes, and she couldn't dodge it at all.

She closed her eyes tightly, and at the moment when she calmly suffered death, she thought about so many things in this life here, Ji Yao, Jiang Zhen, Liang Shi and Jin Shi, and so many people in her mind. She really wanted to let go and welcome death calmly, but the calmness on her face could not deceive the panic in her heart. She really didn't want to die. At this moment, she begged God for the first time to give her a chance to live. Pay everything back.

But as time passed, the pain that pierced into the flesh and blood was delayed. Is she dead?
Jiang Chu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, only to realize that he was surrounded by a big embrace at some point, raised his head, and bumped into a pair of sharp eyes, such a strange look, but inexplicably gave She smelled a little familiar.

Jiang Chu seemed to be dazed, and when she found herself in the arms of the assassin, the first thing she did was not to break free, but to stretch out her hand to untie the scarf on his face. This should not be someone she knew, such an assassin is just It was the first time for her to see even the emperor's pawns, so how could she know the people under these superiors?
But for no reason, she just wanted to take a look and know who he was.

Just when her hand was about to touch his face scarf, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist, and at this moment, Ji Yao had already rushed up, and slapped the man in black with his palm. The man let go of Jiang Chu directly, turned around and jumped into the river, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only strands of blood on the river surface that had no time to float away.

"Ah Chu." Ji Yao pulled Jiang Chu into his arms, hugged her tightly, and could even hear the trembling in his voice.

He was scared, really scared.

The moment the hidden weapon flew towards her, he really thought that he was going to lose her, as if the world had turned dark. If he could, he really wanted to die instead of her.

Jiang Chu patted him on the back lightly: "I'm fine."

Only then did Ji Yao's face regain some color, and he said softly: "It's fine, it's fine."

I don't know if he is comforting her or comforting himself.

At this time, the reinforcements sent by Zizhou Mansion had already arrived. Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassins took advantage of the chaos and fled. The imperial guards also started chasing and killing. The atmosphere is also very weird.

The emperor and empress who had been shielded by everyone finally appeared. Murong Jia looked at the woman beside the boat who was tightly embraced by Ji Yao, and felt a little itchy with hatred.

He was going to die for that woman?In his eyes, is his own life so worthless?

Jiang Chu seemed to feel the gazes from all directions, and when he came back to his senses, he felt a little embarrassed, and tugged on Ji Yao's sleeve: "Let's deal with it first."

Only then did Ji Yao let go of her, and glanced at her: "Are you injured?"

Jiang Chu shook his head quickly: "No!"

If it was said that he was injured, this man might be furious again.

Ji Yao's heart was completely relaxed, and the moment he turned his head to look at the emperor, his expression suddenly turned cold.

It is not so much a gaze as a judgmental look.

It was said that there were assassins on board, but the emperor was unscathed. Even people with discerning eyes could tell that this wave of assassins did not target the emperor at all, but swarmed to attack Jiang Chu!And the purpose of catching Jiang Chu is very obvious, what they really want is Ji Yao's life, not the emperor.

So who sent these assassins?
Yi Yang pursed his lips slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Send the prefect of Zizhou Prefecture to cooperate with the commander of the imperial army to thoroughly investigate this matter, and we will definitely capture the thieves behind it!"

"Yes."

Yi Yang walked towards Ji Yao slowly: "I will find out."

Ji Yao said coldly: "Even if you don't investigate, I will investigate for myself. Anyone who dares to attack Ah Chu today, from top to bottom, I will not let go of anyone."

His tone was cold, with a blatant warning.

The emperor frowned slightly. He never expected that Ji Yao would be angry because of a woman. When he planned to force him to give up the throne, he was never angry at all. He always thought that Ji Yao was a person without warmth. It is impossible for him to pay attention to it.

But now...

The emperor looked at Jiang Chu carefully, probing.

What kind of woman has Ji Yao never seen?Could it be that he really fell in love with such a woman?
"I won't let it go." Although the emperor said that he had murderous intentions towards Ji Yao, he didn't see someone deliberately framing Ji Yao, and even planting it on his head.

And this person who framed and framed the blame obviously had bad intentions.

It has to be said that the emperor still has a lot of fear towards Ji Yao, because he actually doesn't know how much bargaining chips Ji Yao really has in his hands.

Ji Yao glanced at him coldly, didn't say anything, just took Jiang Chu by the hand and left.

The guests on the boat silently watched Ji Yao take Jiang Chu away so arrogantly, they were shocked and speechless, what is the origin of this man?
Especially when Jiyao killed the assassin just now, his skills were beyond the reach of ordinary people. What is going on?

Wu Zehua raised his hand and slapped Wu Yinze's face, and shouted: "You are so brave!"

Wu Yin didn't dodge or dodge, and suffered from life and death. There was a red mark on his pale face, which was extremely glaring. He was soaked through and hadn't changed his clothes. Even the wound on his back hadn't been treated at all, only a mess all over his body.

"How dare you disobey my order and block hidden weapons for Jiang Chu?! Do you want to die?"

Wu Yin lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Jiang Chu must not be killed."

"Why not?!"

"Jiang Chu is the only weak point that restrains Ji Yao. If she dies, Ji Yao will definitely go mad. He will kill all directions, and he will ask the truth about Jiang Chu's death. If His Highness is found out, His Highness will be in danger. , this pawn cannot be moved easily."

"How did he find out about me? He will only think that all this is the emperor's intention." Wu Zehua said coldly.

"Actually, even if His Highness does not kill Jiang Chu, His Highness's plan to sow dissension will be successful. Ji Yao will inevitably become suspicious of the emperor. From then on, the situation will be irreconcilable. When Jiang Chu dies, Ji Yao will find it difficult to control him. , can become a pawn in His Highness's hands again at any time, and use it!"
