Chapter 199
"Don't think about it!"
Before everyone could react to the sudden change, a clear voice resounded throughout Wende Hall.
Xiao Yichen didn't know when he stood up, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, his whole body was colder than that invincible tile-thorned broadsword.
Zhang Zhilue coughed under Wuyuan's signal, "Prince, I don't know what you meant by that just now?"
Xiao Yichen interrupted coldly, "No matter what the meaning is, I, Xiao, firmly disagree!"
"Your Majesty Xiao," Wu Shan smiled, showing his long-lost white teeth, "don't be too impulsive, she's just a woman, is it more important than diplomatic relations between two countries?"
"My Tianwu soldiers have millions of soldiers, throwing their heads and blood, just to protect the safety of Tianwu people and earn a bright future for their wives and children! Now if we want to sacrifice a woman in exchange for peace between the two countries, our Tianwu soldiers will be embarrassed? As a man, if you can't even protect your own wife, you are in vain as a man!"
Xiao Yichen pulled out the sword from the waist of the Imperial Forest Army, flicked it lightly, and inserted the tip of the sword into the table. The sword body swayed, and the light of the sword dazzled everyone's eyes. Forgive Xiao for not accompanying me! This is all Xiao said, talk about whatever you want! Xiao bids farewell!"
The crescent-colored figure strode out of the Wende Palace without any nostalgia. With a broad back, firm steps, and a murderous aura all over his body, he looked like a general who had just come down from the battlefield!
After he walked out, the Hall of Wende was still quiet and needles could be heard!
Xiao Yichen didn't care about what was going to be discussed next, he was going to settle accounts with someone with a dark face!
Just now when Wu Shan proposed to hand over Lu Xinyan, Xiao Yichen instinctively felt that Wu Shan had taken a fancy to Lu Xinyan, which made him very annoyed!
This woman shouldn't be allowed to come out, as soon as she comes out, she will cause trouble!
At this time, Lu Xinyan, Wu Zhen, Yan Qingruo and Bai Zhi were walking in the imperial garden. Qingtong was worried that she would see Wu Shan, so she hid in the dark so that she could run away at any time.
Seeing Xiao Yichen approaching angrily, Lu Xinyan said puzzledly: "Xiao Shizi, what happened..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yichen pulled his whole body into his arms and kissed him fiercely in public.
In the imperial garden, it was as if time stood still, all the maids and eunuchs opened their mouths wide open, unable to recover for a long time!
Wu Zhen blushed instantly: ...
Yan Qingruo blinked: Brother Lu... mighty and domineering!
The tips of Bai Zhi's ears turned red, and her eyes peeked from time to time.
Qingtong fell from the tree and made a loud noise, but no one paid any attention to her.
There was pain on Lu Xinyan's lips, and before she could react, someone's tongue had penetrated forcefully and vigorously, sweeping away forcefully as if declaring sovereignty.
After a while, Lu Xinyan realized that now in the imperial garden, Wu Zhen, Yan Qingruo Bai Zhiqingtong, are all there.
She pushed him away desperately, but Xiao Yichen hugged her even tighter domineeringly, and after kissing her hard, he finally left her lips.
Lu Xin blushed and wanted to ask him why he was crazy, kissing her like this in public.
This is not modern, this is ancient!
Before she could let out a sigh, Xiao Yichen asked viciously: "What's the matter with the eldest prince Wu Shan?"
Lu Xinyan suddenly felt guilty.
She didn't tell Xiao Yichen everything about Sanshenghua, not because of other reasons, but because she was in danger several times in the past few days, she didn't want Xiao Yichen to feel guilty or worry, or to 'punish' her angrily, so she made up a reason to fool her he.
Because of the urgent time, they entered the palace immediately after returning to the capital, and the two of them didn't have much time to spend together, and Xiao Yichen never asked if he had any doubts.
Lu Xinyan blinked vigorously, "Probably... probably yesterday afternoon I defeated Princess Wu Wu in the battle exercise, which made the eldest prince angry."
"Are you angry? Or... have you taken a fancy to you?" Xiao Yichen said the following words full of jealousy.
Lu Xinyan didn't know why he asked that question, but she shook her head resolutely and wittily, "It must be really angry! He said yesterday afternoon that I was scheming, so I could do it for myself! If you don't believe me, ask the princess and Qing Ruo, many people have heard it with their own ears. of!"
"really?"
Lu Xinyan nodded like pecking rice, "Really!"
Only then did Xiao Yichen let go of her, his eyes flickered, "Keep busy."
He turned to leave, but Lu Xinyan said in disbelief, "You're here to trouble me for this?"
Xiao Yichen coughed, looked up at the sky, "I'm not looking for trouble, I'm here to relieve the pain of lovesickness!"
Lu Xinyan: ...This shameless person!
She stared at him angrily, accidentally caught a glimpse of the tips of his ears that were suddenly red, and suddenly wanted to laugh again!I thought he was really shameless, kissing her casually in front of so many people, it seems that he would be shy!
Xiao Yichen saw the forced teasing smile on her face, and said angrily, "If you dare to laugh, try it? If you dare to laugh, I'll kiss you!"
Lu Xinyan quickly covered her mouth and shook her head, "Don't dare! Go get busy."
Xiao Yichen left happily.
As soon as he left, Yan Qingruo rushed over screaming, "My God! Sister Zhuzhu, I, I, I, I didn't see you just now, did I, Prince Xiao kissed you in public?"
Lu Xinyan pretended to be calm and straightened her hair, "Children's families, why do adults care so much about their affairs?"
If Yan Qing ignored her, she continued excitedly: "Sister Zhuzhu, tell me quickly, how did you feel when Shizi Xiao kissed you?"
"Don't you know when your family asks your fiancé to kiss you in order to say kiss?"
"Then we have to wait for a long time! No, sister Zhuzhu, tell me quickly~"
"Go away! Go to work!"
"Miss Zhuzhu~"
After they left, a lost figure left in the opposite direction.
In the afternoon, Lu Xinyan inquired about what happened in Wende Hall from Li Yu. It turned out that Wu Shan was willing to make concessions in the peace talks between the two countries on the condition that she was handed over!No wonder Xiao Yichen was so angry that he desperately kissed her in public!
But Lu Xinyan was not in the mood to pay attention to Xiao Yichen's unreasonable jealousy for the time being, she was only worried about whether Wu Shan recognized her, whether she should take the initiative to confess to Wu Shan, and ask for his forgiveness!
During the peace talks in the Hall of Wende, no one dared to bring up the matter of handing over Lu Xinyan because of Xiao Yichen's words, but Wu Shan also showed unprecedented toughness, saying that unless Wu Shan's conditions were agreed, all talks would be avoided, and the peace talks fell into a trap again. deadlock.
After the afternoon ended, Zhang Zhilue said: "Eldest Prince, Great General, you have worked hard these past few days. The First Prince has prepared a flower boat tomorrow night, and invites you to take a night tour of the Yuzi River tomorrow night. Please enjoy your participation."
After getting off the negotiating table, Wu Shan smiled brightly and harmlessly as before, "Master Zhang, please convey Wu Shan's thanks on your behalf, and I will definitely attend."
"Prince, General, go slowly!"
-
In the evening, Yang Ertan's bedroom.
A man in black came to report, "General, everything has been arranged for tomorrow night."
"Very well, let's go." A sneer flashed across Yang Ertan's sinister face.
The lieutenant-general at the side was puzzled and said: "General, my subordinates see that the prince is very tough in this negotiation. Judging from the current situation, the peace talks are likely to fail. Why do you still want to..."
Yang Ertan said: "The eldest prince seems to be tough now, he won't give in an inch, and he has the aura of Tianwu not giving in, and he will send troops to the southwest, but don't forget, the eldest prince is a peacemaker! The people who support him in the court are all The peace faction, so the eldest prince will definitely back down in the end! Once the peace talks are successful and the eldest prince returns to Wacha, the second prince who is the main battle will lose his last chance to seize the throne!"
Not only that, but he, Yang Ertan, will also lose his prestige in the army completely because he has no chance to lead his troops to the battlefield to establish his military exploits, and he can't bear the shame of being defeated in the Southwest War before!
What's more, once the crime of the former general Bechiha's family is overthrown, Yang Ertan will become the enemy of all soldiers!
He will never allow such a thing to happen!
"Understood, General, I wish the General will get his wish tomorrow!"
-
Tonight, by the Yuzi River, there are only two gorgeous royal flower boats parked.
The Imperial Forest Army has been guarding both sides of the Yuzi River since the morning, preventing idlers from approaching. However, outside the guarded area, people started to stand there early in the morning regardless of the severe cold, wanting to see the royal family's splendor.
After night fell, luxurious carriages came stepping on the lights of Bing'an and stopped on the shore.
One after another, well-dressed people got off the carriage one after another, looking at the common people on both sides.
This royal man is really like the gods and fairies in the sky!
There are two boats, one for male guests and one for female guests.
Under the guidance of the palace people, everyone boarded the boat one by one, and the flower boat started to move forward slowly.
The flower boat is resplendent and resplendent, as beautiful as a palace, and the lights on both sides of the river are reflected in the water, sparkling and beautiful.
After a while, the two ships made the sound of silk and bamboo at the same time.
The flower boat that Xiao Yichen and others were sitting in Wuyuan Wushan next door was very lively with the sound of drinking orders. Compared with Lu Xinyan and the others, this boat seemed deserted.
Wu Wu lost to Lu Xinyan yesterday, and she was not very angry when she saw her. Wu Wan lost to Wu Wu yesterday, and she was not in the mood to please her. She didn't say anything, and Wen Ruxiang didn't dare to speak.
Yan Qingruo didn't want to talk because of Wu Wu's cheating yesterday, only Wu Zhen took the time to say a few polite words.
In the whole flower boat, only the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard.
Lu Xinyan saw that Wu Wu occasionally looked at her with hostile eyes, so she stood up wisely, "Princesses, I'll..."
She was about to say to step back when a palace maid came in suddenly, "Princess, someone is looking for you."
Lu Xinyan took advantage of the situation and complied, "Excuse me first."
She followed the maid and walked out, casually asked: "Who is looking for me?"
The maid said: "I don't know."
When I came to the deck, I saw a strange man in black standing there. Seeing Lu Xinyan, he said, "My master wants to see you."
Lu Xinyan's first reaction was that Xiao Yichen wanted to see her, but she immediately denied it. If Xiao Yichen sent someone, he would let Qi Fei or Little Monkey come over, and would not send a stranger over.
She backed away calmly, "Who is your master?"
In the past, Qingtong would follow her, but since Wu Shan appeared, in order to avoid being recognized by him, Qingtong would try her best to hide herself, and she didn't know where she was hiding at this time.
The man sensed her intention and rushed to her side quickly. Lu Xinyan immediately felt a sharp and cold dagger-like thing around her waist, "Would you know if the Princess is gone?"
"I won't go if you don't tell me!" Lu Xinyan said calmly.
The dagger at the waist was two points closer, and the man said in a bad tone, "The little one doesn't want to hurt the princess, please cooperate obediently, otherwise the little one will have to be rude!"
The dagger seemed to have torn through her clothes, and the cold air was almost against her skin. Lu Xinyan realized that the other party was not joking, so she had to compromise.
There was a small black boat parked under the flower boat. When Lu Xinyan went up, she was taken aback when she saw a man sitting in the middle of the boat drinking alone, "Is that you?"
Wu Shan ignored her, and said calmly, "Start the boat."
Seeing that it was Wu Shan, Lu Xinyan was quite relieved. Based on what she knew of him in just two days, she felt that he would not do anything to her, and because of the Sanshenghua incident, Lu Xinyan felt a little guilty, so she didn't wait for Wu Shan to speak, and directly Sitting opposite Wushan.
Why don't you take this opportunity to tell him clearly about Sanshenghua!Lu Xinyan thought to herself, after deliberating for a long time, before she was about to speak, Wu Shan suddenly said, "May I ask if the princess knows Kong Tingyu, the eldest young master of the Kong Family, who has passed away?"
Lu Xinyan was stunned, she didn't understand why he mentioned Kong Tingyu, but she still said truthfully: "I know."
Wu Shan asked again: "Did he ever have a marriage contract with your second sister, Miss Lu Er of Ankangbo Mansion?"
"Yes." Lu Xinyan was even more puzzled.
"Master Kong, was he beaten to death by the people around you?"
"Yes, but it happened for a reason..." Tian Bin is Uncle Tian's nephew, and Uncle Tian is someone close to her, so Tian Bin can barely be called true. Everyone knows this, although Lu Xinyan doesn't understand what Wu Shan wants to do, but She didn't want to deny it, but she still had to make it clear.
But Wu Shan didn't give her a chance, "Karma is not good, and those who harm others will eventually harm themselves!"
"What does the eldest prince mean?" Lu Xinyan frowned.
Wu Shan didn't look at her, but just looked at the river.
In fact, from the moment Lu Xinyan boarded the boat, Wu Shan never glanced at her.
Lu Xinyan followed his gaze to look at the river, and found that the wupeng boat they were sitting in was traveling in the completely opposite direction to the royal flower boat, and it was already far away from the royal flower boat before they knew it.
Lu Xinyan didn't think that Wu Shan called her here to harm her, but she still couldn't help asking: "Where is the eldest prince going?"
Wu Shan drank a glass of wine alone, "Princess, if I spend the night with you on this small boat, what will happen if someone finds out tomorrow morning?"
Lu Xinyan was completely confused by Wu Shan's nonsensical words. From the time she got on the boat to now, she understood everything Wu Shan said, but together, she didn't understand what was going on!
"Eldest Prince, I really don't understand what the Eldest Prince wants to say and what he wants to do. Ming people don't speak in secret, the Elder Prince may as well speak up! What I can do for the Eldest Prince, I will try my best to do it!"
"You can do it!" Wu Shan looked at her suddenly, there was only one oil lamp lit in the cabin, the light was very dim, and Wu Shan's eyes were cold, "As long as you sit here obediently for one night."
Looking at the icy eyes that were unintentionally swept over, Lu Xinyan suddenly shuddered.
She realized she had made a mistake.
Asang is Asang, Wushan is Wushan!
Different names, different positions!
Before, she was Ah Zhu and he was Ah Sang. They were just two unlucky ghosts who were almost betrayed. They happened to help each other to save themselves and each other!Before stealing Sanshenghua, they could barely be called friends at that time!
Now she is Lu Xinyan, the owner of Tianwu Zhuzhu County, and he is Wu Shan, the eldest prince of Wacha. Wacha has a deep hatred for Tianwu because of Xiao Yichen, and she is Xiao Yichen's fiancée!
If Wu Shan wanted to use her to threaten Xiao Yichen, she would have no power to fight back now!
Lu Xinyan looked at Wushan vigilantly. At this moment, fireworks were lit not far away.
Fireworks to welcome the arrival of Wu Shan, the eldest prince of Wacha, and Wu Wu, the eldest princess.
The fireworks are bright and dazzling, and the moment they burn, they illuminate Wu Shan's expressionless face.
This is Ah Sang, not Ah Sang!
The ship shook suddenly, and the oil lamp fell down and went out.
Lu Xinyan felt a chill in her heart, thinking that Wu Shan was going to deal with her, but she heard him ask calmly, "Ayou, what's going on?"
"Prince, it's all right."
The hull quickly returned to calm and stopped shaking, Lu Xinyan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It seems that Wu Shan didn't want to do something, it's just a little accident.
When she was thinking about how to get out, she suddenly felt cool under her feet, as if stepping on water. She was wearing embroidered shoes today. If she was wearing leather boots, she might not feel it so quickly.
Lu Xinyan exclaimed, "The cabin is flooded!"
In the darkness, Wu Shan snorted disapprovingly, obviously he was wearing leather boots, and he couldn't feel a little water getting in, "Princess, I advise you not to play tricks, I don't want to knock you out."
"Really!" The water came up very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it had already covered the ankles, Lu Xinyan said anxiously: "If you don't believe me, you can squat down and feel it?"
Seeing her so swearing, Wu Shan couldn't help squatting down, his expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, but his face must have changed a lot, "How could this be? Ayou!"
The boatman who had answered him earlier fell silent.
Wu Shan suddenly felt bad!
When he was touching the cabin, Lu Xinyan immediately stood up and looked into the distance. The fireworks in the distance were still brilliant. Everyone's attention was attracted by the beauty of the fireworks, and they cheered bursts of cheers, even if they shouted their throats here. Someone will hear!
"Do you have a dagger?"
Hearing the seemingly familiar words, Wu Shan was startled, "Yes."
"The sudden flooding of the boat must be man-made. You hold the dagger in your hand to defend yourself." Lu Xinyan thought of the group of men in black who assassinated Wushan in Shuangxi, and felt that the matter was not simple, "Take off your coat."
"What?"
"Light it up! Get someone to rescue you!" Lu Xinyan calmly said, "After I light the fire, you hide at the bottom of the underwater boat!"
"Are you crazy?" Wu Shan said in disbelief, "If it's really artificial, once the fire is lit, what if the people who come are enemies? Since the two of us don't have the slightest bit of skill, don't we just let others slaughter us?"
"So you hide under the boat!" Lu Xinyan said, "Their target is you!"
Wu Shan is the eldest prince of Wacha, if he dies, the flames of war will surely break out, even if Wu Wan has no brains to harm her, she will not dare to drag Wu Shan to be buried with her!So the people who came this time must be targeting Wushan!
Wu Shan was suddenly filled with displeasure, "You want to tell them yourself and distract them? Why, I clearly..." I wanted to harm her!
"Stop talking nonsense! If their target is you, people who can't see you, maybe they won't do anything to me, if you are here, you will only harm the two of us!" Lu Xinyan sternly said: "Take off your clothes quickly! "
When Wu Shan was drank by her, he trembled for some reason, and obediently took off his coat.
At the same time, Lu Xinyan also took off her coat. She took out the torch, pulled off the cover, and lit the clothes.
"Go into the water!"
Wu Shan hesitated for a while, "Go down, I'll wait here."
"Stop talking nonsense, go down! Don't forget that their target is you, you are the prince of Wacha, you can't have an accident! Go down!"
Knowing that Lu Xinyan was right, Wu Shan gritted his teeth, jumped into the water, and hid at the bottom of the boat.
The river was icy cold, and when the cold wind blew, his teeth trembled.
Wu Shan looked at the woman on the board who pursed her lips calmly and set fire to her clothes. For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Lu Xinyan didn't dare to burn the clothes too fast, she looked into the distance while burning, hoping that the imperial forest army on the flower boat or on both sides of the bank, even the people watching, could see this small flame on the river.
But tonight's fireworks are so beautiful!
The fireworks carefully crafted by palace craftsmen are more brilliant and beautiful than any previous year.
It was so beautiful that everyone was fascinated by it, and no one even took a look at the river in the distance.
A piece of clothing was about to be burnt out, the fireworks didn't stop, and the cheers continued, so Lu Xinyan could only start burning her own clothes.
At this time, the water wave began to sway slightly, Lu Xinyan on the deck didn't notice it, but Wu Shan felt it.
"Someone is coming." He whispered.
Lu Xinyan was overjoyed at first, then surprised.
If Xiao Yichen and others came, they would never be so silent.
Coming so quietly can only show that the other party is not kind.
Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth and quietly got into the water.
What I said before is that because the other party's goal is not her, she may let her go, but to trick Wu Shan into the water, in case the enemy comes, so that he can escape.
The river water in late winter and early spring is as cold as a knife. When you enter the water, it is no different from entering a hole in the ice.
Lu Xinyan didn't care about these things, "Let's go."
The boat is so big, the other party will definitely find it, and there is no other way but to leave.
Lu Xinyan took the lead to swim to the shore, but no one around her followed.
"I can't swim." Wu Shan whispered, "You can go."
It’s really a house leak and it’s raining all night. After thinking about it, I didn’t expect that Wushan can’t swim!
If it was an ordinary person whom she didn't know, Lu Xinyan would definitely abandon him and run for her life without hesitation!
However, he is the Asang who she stole his Sanshenghua, and he is Wushan, the eldest prince of Wacha.
Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth and swam back to Wu Shan.
"What are you doing back?" Wu Shan looked at her in disbelief.
"Shh, don't talk." Lu Xinyan gestured to him to shut up, "No matter what happens later, don't move."
At this time, a similar black boat approached them quietly, and it was on fire, and Lu Xinyan watched quietly.
There were six men in black on board, wearing masks.
One of the men in black jumped onto Lu Xinyan's previous boat, and came out not long after entering the cabin, and said in a low voice, "Boss, there is no one."
One person replied: "This fire just started, people must not have run far, maybe they are hiding in the bottom of the boat, put out the fire first, and then go into the water to search!"
"Yes, boss."
The fire went out all of a sudden, and the surroundings became even darker.
Lu Xinyan took off the shoes on the soles of her feet and threw them forward vigorously.
Someone exclaimed, "Boss, there is movement over there."
"Chase!"
Hush, huh, huh, after a few slight sounds of entering the water, the surrounding area quickly quieted down. It seemed that those people were chasing after the shoes.
Lu Xinyan was weak, so she couldn't throw it far, guessing that the enemy would come back soon, she whispered: "Let's hide under their boat, you hold on to the side of the boat and slowly move over."
In the darkness, Wu Shan said weakly, "I...can't move."
It hasn't been long since Lu Xinyan entered the water, and she has been moving back and forth, so she can hold on despite the cold.
But Wu Shan soaked in the cold water for a long time in his single clothes. Because he couldn't swim, he remained motionless, and his hands holding the boat were already frozen.
With Lu Xinyan's strength, she couldn't swim with Wu Shan who couldn't swim!
How to do?
She suddenly smelled a faint smell of alcohol from Wu Shan, and had an idea, "Do you still have the wine you drank just now?"
Wu Shan said: "Yes."
"how many?"
"About... two altars."
"You wait here."
"Hey, what are you doing..."
Before Wu Shan could speak, Lu Xinyan had already quietly climbed onto the boat, touched the cabin, found the two jars of wine in the dark, and the half of the jug that Wu Shan hadn't finished drinking before.
She brought half a jug of wine to Wu Shan's mouth, "Drink it and warm it up."
Wu Shan raised his head without any hesitation, Gulu Gulu drank most of the jug of wine.
When he finished drinking and his body was slowly heating up, Lu Xinyan, who just didn't know where to go, came back to him, "Can you move?"
Wu Shan moved a bit, "It's ok."
"Let's go, let's go." During the movement, Lu Xinyan said: "Later, if someone approaches you, just take the dagger and stab it directly. Don't ask who it is. If I approach you, I will make a sound. Don't worry about stabbing the wrong person. .”
The two of them had just touched the bottom of the enemy's boat, and there was a wave of water shaking. It seemed that the six people had returned without finding anyone.
"You three, search the bottom of that boat."
"Yes, boss."
After a while, the ship shook, and the three came back, "Boss, there is no one."
"I'm sure I haven't gone far, come up for a rest first! After a while, spread out, focus on the boat, spread out and search, and come back in half an hour."
It takes a lot of energy in the water, these people have been swimming for less than half an hour before.
The fireworks in the distance seemed to slow down a bit.
"It smells like wine."
"I smell it too."
"Where does such a strong smell of wine come from?"
In doubt, "Boss, it's bad, our boat is on fire!" A man in black exclaimed.
It turned out that after Lu Xinyan got the wine just now, she spilled a jar of wine on the enemy ship. While everyone was on board, Lu Xinyan quietly took out the torch and lit the ship.
"I'll go back to the bottom of the original boat later, remember what I said before, if I feel someone stab me hard!"
After she quietly explained to Wu Shan, she suddenly swam towards the distance and paddled vigorously, making the sound of water.
"Boss, there is someone over there!" With the light of the fire, the six people on board could clearly see that someone was in the water.
"Chase!"
After there was no movement in the surrounding water, Wu Shan didn't know what mood he was in. Holding the dagger, he slowly moved to the bottom of the boat he was on when he arrived.
The fire burned very vigorously, warming his people, but his heart was very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the water wave shook again.
It turned out that the six people had chased them once before but failed to catch them. They knew they had been deceived by the other party.
Wu Shan's heart was pounding violently, and he remained motionless, staring at everything around him with wide eyes.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of water and panting not far from him. It seemed that someone came up to take a breath after staying under the water for a long time.
Wu Shan remembered Lu Xinyan's confession, without thinking about it, he stabbed hard at the sound.
I don't know where it was stabbed, the man let out a muffled groan, and there was a smell of blood, and then fell silent.
Wu Shan's heart beat faster, he succeeded!
The accomplice who came with that person seemed to realize that something was wrong, swam to the empty space, emerged from the water, and called softly, "Fourth."
He stopped on the surface of the water for a while, seeing that no one came up to take a breath, he knew that the fourth child might be in danger.
The accomplice did not dare to be careless at all, sneaked into the water and swam towards the position of the boat.
The water wave swayed, and Wu Shan acted again without hesitation based on his intuition.
The sound of the dagger piercing into the flesh disappeared into the water, and Wu Shan couldn't even feel it, but the increasingly heavy smell of blood told him that he had succeeded again!
It is not easy to use force in the water, but the material of Wu Shan's dagger is the same as that of the dagger that Wa Ci brought out on the negotiating table. He killed him easily.
The surrounding water stopped shaking, Wu Shan knew that he was safe for the time being, but he couldn't calm down, so he looked in the direction where Lu Xinyan swam just now.
After Lu Xinyan made a circle in the water, she stayed there quietly.
At night, the bottom of the water is pitch black, and nothing can be seen. Both parties can only perceive each other's existence by feeling. This is an advantage for Lu Xinyan, who has no skills but is quite good at water.
After Lu Xinyan breathed twice quietly, the water around her began to shake.
Someone is approaching.
She took out the dagger, and when she felt that the man was approaching, she stabbed hard and sank quickly.
With her weak strength and limited strength in the water, Lu Xinyan knew that it was impossible for her to seriously injure the other party at once, so she swam away immediately after she succeeded.
The man was stabbed, and the pain made him angry, jumping around in the water, trying to find out his attacker.
However, not only did he miss, but he was attacked again and again, and when he finally surfaced exhausted to take a breath, his neck felt cold and he sank into the water.
Lu Xinyan's heart beat like a pounding.
This is her first kill!
Before she had time to express herself, the water around her shook again, and it seemed that someone was coming again.
Lu Xinyan waited with breath, and killed another person in the same way.
At this time, she had exhausted too much energy, so after a short rest, she swam towards the boat.
Wu Shan felt that someone was approaching, and was about to swing out the dagger, "It's me!" After hearing a familiar voice, he immediately withdrew it.
"I...killed two people just now." Wu Shan said, this was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands.
"I also killed...two people."
"There are two more." Wu Shan said: "As long as we kill them, we will be safe for the time being."
"Correct."
After the two finished speaking, they remained silent. The boat was burning so far that it was almost at the point where there was water, and it was estimated that it would be extinguished soon. However, the people on the two flower boats still did not find them.
Even if the enemy didn't find out, even if they killed the two, if no one rescued them, they would not be able to survive and would be frozen to death.
"There is movement, get ready." One body began to stiffen, and the other almost lost strength. The two hid at the bottom of the boat back to back, holding a dagger, and looking around vigilantly.
A figure suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the water. In the faint firelight, those eyes were as fierce as a beast.
He moved so fast that before Lu Xinyan could react, the dagger was already in front of her eyes, she subconsciously closed her eyes, blood splashed on her face, and she felt something sinking around her.
The pain she imagined was gone, she opened her eyes suddenly, and the enemy kept the posture of stabbing, and fell into the water, Wushan beside her also sank into the water, almost submerged above her head.
It turned out that just a moment ago, Wu Shan suddenly stabbed the enemy with the dagger in both hands, and the enemy was caught off guard by him.
Lu Xinyan quickly dived into the water and grabbed Wu Shan, pulling him out of the water with all her strength.
Wu Shan coughed violently, and the moment he entered the water, he choked up a lot of water.
"Thank you!"
"The one who wants to say thank you should be me." Wu Shan said.
Immediately, the two stopped talking, because there was still a known enemy and countless unknown dangers.
At this time, conserving energy is the most important thing, saying one more word is a waste.
The last person must have foreseen the danger, until Lu Xinyan and the two of them were about to freeze to death, there was no sign of that person.
Waiting any longer is not an option, the two of them will freeze to death sooner or later.
"I also spilled wine on this boat just now." Lu Xinyan said.
Wu Shan was silent for a while, "Come on."
Using fire to attract the people on the two flower boats was their only hope, although they had failed twice before.
Lu Xinyan took out a fire pocket, wow, the boat was on fire.
The boat was burning hot, and the heat warmed the bodies of the two, but there was still no sign of rescuers wherever the flames reached.
In fact, their location was too far away from the shore and the two flower boats. Even if someone accidentally saw it, they would only think it was a small light reflected by the fireworks.
"Someone is coming!" Wu Shan said suddenly, looking into the distance.
Lu Xinyan looked up, and her whole body suddenly became cold.
What came was a small Uppong boat, and there were six people standing in the boat, all dressed in black and covering their faces, the same as before.
Now, how can they have the strength to deal with it?
The hearts of both of them sank to the bottom of the valley.
The boat is getting closer...
(End of this chapter)
"Don't think about it!"
Before everyone could react to the sudden change, a clear voice resounded throughout Wende Hall.
Xiao Yichen didn't know when he stood up, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, his whole body was colder than that invincible tile-thorned broadsword.
Zhang Zhilue coughed under Wuyuan's signal, "Prince, I don't know what you meant by that just now?"
Xiao Yichen interrupted coldly, "No matter what the meaning is, I, Xiao, firmly disagree!"
"Your Majesty Xiao," Wu Shan smiled, showing his long-lost white teeth, "don't be too impulsive, she's just a woman, is it more important than diplomatic relations between two countries?"
"My Tianwu soldiers have millions of soldiers, throwing their heads and blood, just to protect the safety of Tianwu people and earn a bright future for their wives and children! Now if we want to sacrifice a woman in exchange for peace between the two countries, our Tianwu soldiers will be embarrassed? As a man, if you can't even protect your own wife, you are in vain as a man!"
Xiao Yichen pulled out the sword from the waist of the Imperial Forest Army, flicked it lightly, and inserted the tip of the sword into the table. The sword body swayed, and the light of the sword dazzled everyone's eyes. Forgive Xiao for not accompanying me! This is all Xiao said, talk about whatever you want! Xiao bids farewell!"
The crescent-colored figure strode out of the Wende Palace without any nostalgia. With a broad back, firm steps, and a murderous aura all over his body, he looked like a general who had just come down from the battlefield!
After he walked out, the Hall of Wende was still quiet and needles could be heard!
Xiao Yichen didn't care about what was going to be discussed next, he was going to settle accounts with someone with a dark face!
Just now when Wu Shan proposed to hand over Lu Xinyan, Xiao Yichen instinctively felt that Wu Shan had taken a fancy to Lu Xinyan, which made him very annoyed!
This woman shouldn't be allowed to come out, as soon as she comes out, she will cause trouble!
At this time, Lu Xinyan, Wu Zhen, Yan Qingruo and Bai Zhi were walking in the imperial garden. Qingtong was worried that she would see Wu Shan, so she hid in the dark so that she could run away at any time.
Seeing Xiao Yichen approaching angrily, Lu Xinyan said puzzledly: "Xiao Shizi, what happened..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yichen pulled his whole body into his arms and kissed him fiercely in public.
In the imperial garden, it was as if time stood still, all the maids and eunuchs opened their mouths wide open, unable to recover for a long time!
Wu Zhen blushed instantly: ...
Yan Qingruo blinked: Brother Lu... mighty and domineering!
The tips of Bai Zhi's ears turned red, and her eyes peeked from time to time.
Qingtong fell from the tree and made a loud noise, but no one paid any attention to her.
There was pain on Lu Xinyan's lips, and before she could react, someone's tongue had penetrated forcefully and vigorously, sweeping away forcefully as if declaring sovereignty.
After a while, Lu Xinyan realized that now in the imperial garden, Wu Zhen, Yan Qingruo Bai Zhiqingtong, are all there.
She pushed him away desperately, but Xiao Yichen hugged her even tighter domineeringly, and after kissing her hard, he finally left her lips.
Lu Xin blushed and wanted to ask him why he was crazy, kissing her like this in public.
This is not modern, this is ancient!
Before she could let out a sigh, Xiao Yichen asked viciously: "What's the matter with the eldest prince Wu Shan?"
Lu Xinyan suddenly felt guilty.
She didn't tell Xiao Yichen everything about Sanshenghua, not because of other reasons, but because she was in danger several times in the past few days, she didn't want Xiao Yichen to feel guilty or worry, or to 'punish' her angrily, so she made up a reason to fool her he.
Because of the urgent time, they entered the palace immediately after returning to the capital, and the two of them didn't have much time to spend together, and Xiao Yichen never asked if he had any doubts.
Lu Xinyan blinked vigorously, "Probably... probably yesterday afternoon I defeated Princess Wu Wu in the battle exercise, which made the eldest prince angry."
"Are you angry? Or... have you taken a fancy to you?" Xiao Yichen said the following words full of jealousy.
Lu Xinyan didn't know why he asked that question, but she shook her head resolutely and wittily, "It must be really angry! He said yesterday afternoon that I was scheming, so I could do it for myself! If you don't believe me, ask the princess and Qing Ruo, many people have heard it with their own ears. of!"
"really?"
Lu Xinyan nodded like pecking rice, "Really!"
Only then did Xiao Yichen let go of her, his eyes flickered, "Keep busy."
He turned to leave, but Lu Xinyan said in disbelief, "You're here to trouble me for this?"
Xiao Yichen coughed, looked up at the sky, "I'm not looking for trouble, I'm here to relieve the pain of lovesickness!"
Lu Xinyan: ...This shameless person!
She stared at him angrily, accidentally caught a glimpse of the tips of his ears that were suddenly red, and suddenly wanted to laugh again!I thought he was really shameless, kissing her casually in front of so many people, it seems that he would be shy!
Xiao Yichen saw the forced teasing smile on her face, and said angrily, "If you dare to laugh, try it? If you dare to laugh, I'll kiss you!"
Lu Xinyan quickly covered her mouth and shook her head, "Don't dare! Go get busy."
Xiao Yichen left happily.
As soon as he left, Yan Qingruo rushed over screaming, "My God! Sister Zhuzhu, I, I, I, I didn't see you just now, did I, Prince Xiao kissed you in public?"
Lu Xinyan pretended to be calm and straightened her hair, "Children's families, why do adults care so much about their affairs?"
If Yan Qing ignored her, she continued excitedly: "Sister Zhuzhu, tell me quickly, how did you feel when Shizi Xiao kissed you?"
"Don't you know when your family asks your fiancé to kiss you in order to say kiss?"
"Then we have to wait for a long time! No, sister Zhuzhu, tell me quickly~"
"Go away! Go to work!"
"Miss Zhuzhu~"
After they left, a lost figure left in the opposite direction.
In the afternoon, Lu Xinyan inquired about what happened in Wende Hall from Li Yu. It turned out that Wu Shan was willing to make concessions in the peace talks between the two countries on the condition that she was handed over!No wonder Xiao Yichen was so angry that he desperately kissed her in public!
But Lu Xinyan was not in the mood to pay attention to Xiao Yichen's unreasonable jealousy for the time being, she was only worried about whether Wu Shan recognized her, whether she should take the initiative to confess to Wu Shan, and ask for his forgiveness!
During the peace talks in the Hall of Wende, no one dared to bring up the matter of handing over Lu Xinyan because of Xiao Yichen's words, but Wu Shan also showed unprecedented toughness, saying that unless Wu Shan's conditions were agreed, all talks would be avoided, and the peace talks fell into a trap again. deadlock.
After the afternoon ended, Zhang Zhilue said: "Eldest Prince, Great General, you have worked hard these past few days. The First Prince has prepared a flower boat tomorrow night, and invites you to take a night tour of the Yuzi River tomorrow night. Please enjoy your participation."
After getting off the negotiating table, Wu Shan smiled brightly and harmlessly as before, "Master Zhang, please convey Wu Shan's thanks on your behalf, and I will definitely attend."
"Prince, General, go slowly!"
-
In the evening, Yang Ertan's bedroom.
A man in black came to report, "General, everything has been arranged for tomorrow night."
"Very well, let's go." A sneer flashed across Yang Ertan's sinister face.
The lieutenant-general at the side was puzzled and said: "General, my subordinates see that the prince is very tough in this negotiation. Judging from the current situation, the peace talks are likely to fail. Why do you still want to..."
Yang Ertan said: "The eldest prince seems to be tough now, he won't give in an inch, and he has the aura of Tianwu not giving in, and he will send troops to the southwest, but don't forget, the eldest prince is a peacemaker! The people who support him in the court are all The peace faction, so the eldest prince will definitely back down in the end! Once the peace talks are successful and the eldest prince returns to Wacha, the second prince who is the main battle will lose his last chance to seize the throne!"
Not only that, but he, Yang Ertan, will also lose his prestige in the army completely because he has no chance to lead his troops to the battlefield to establish his military exploits, and he can't bear the shame of being defeated in the Southwest War before!
What's more, once the crime of the former general Bechiha's family is overthrown, Yang Ertan will become the enemy of all soldiers!
He will never allow such a thing to happen!
"Understood, General, I wish the General will get his wish tomorrow!"
-
Tonight, by the Yuzi River, there are only two gorgeous royal flower boats parked.
The Imperial Forest Army has been guarding both sides of the Yuzi River since the morning, preventing idlers from approaching. However, outside the guarded area, people started to stand there early in the morning regardless of the severe cold, wanting to see the royal family's splendor.
After night fell, luxurious carriages came stepping on the lights of Bing'an and stopped on the shore.
One after another, well-dressed people got off the carriage one after another, looking at the common people on both sides.
This royal man is really like the gods and fairies in the sky!
There are two boats, one for male guests and one for female guests.
Under the guidance of the palace people, everyone boarded the boat one by one, and the flower boat started to move forward slowly.
The flower boat is resplendent and resplendent, as beautiful as a palace, and the lights on both sides of the river are reflected in the water, sparkling and beautiful.
After a while, the two ships made the sound of silk and bamboo at the same time.
The flower boat that Xiao Yichen and others were sitting in Wuyuan Wushan next door was very lively with the sound of drinking orders. Compared with Lu Xinyan and the others, this boat seemed deserted.
Wu Wu lost to Lu Xinyan yesterday, and she was not very angry when she saw her. Wu Wan lost to Wu Wu yesterday, and she was not in the mood to please her. She didn't say anything, and Wen Ruxiang didn't dare to speak.
Yan Qingruo didn't want to talk because of Wu Wu's cheating yesterday, only Wu Zhen took the time to say a few polite words.
In the whole flower boat, only the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard.
Lu Xinyan saw that Wu Wu occasionally looked at her with hostile eyes, so she stood up wisely, "Princesses, I'll..."
She was about to say to step back when a palace maid came in suddenly, "Princess, someone is looking for you."
Lu Xinyan took advantage of the situation and complied, "Excuse me first."
She followed the maid and walked out, casually asked: "Who is looking for me?"
The maid said: "I don't know."
When I came to the deck, I saw a strange man in black standing there. Seeing Lu Xinyan, he said, "My master wants to see you."
Lu Xinyan's first reaction was that Xiao Yichen wanted to see her, but she immediately denied it. If Xiao Yichen sent someone, he would let Qi Fei or Little Monkey come over, and would not send a stranger over.
She backed away calmly, "Who is your master?"
In the past, Qingtong would follow her, but since Wu Shan appeared, in order to avoid being recognized by him, Qingtong would try her best to hide herself, and she didn't know where she was hiding at this time.
The man sensed her intention and rushed to her side quickly. Lu Xinyan immediately felt a sharp and cold dagger-like thing around her waist, "Would you know if the Princess is gone?"
"I won't go if you don't tell me!" Lu Xinyan said calmly.
The dagger at the waist was two points closer, and the man said in a bad tone, "The little one doesn't want to hurt the princess, please cooperate obediently, otherwise the little one will have to be rude!"
The dagger seemed to have torn through her clothes, and the cold air was almost against her skin. Lu Xinyan realized that the other party was not joking, so she had to compromise.
There was a small black boat parked under the flower boat. When Lu Xinyan went up, she was taken aback when she saw a man sitting in the middle of the boat drinking alone, "Is that you?"
Wu Shan ignored her, and said calmly, "Start the boat."
Seeing that it was Wu Shan, Lu Xinyan was quite relieved. Based on what she knew of him in just two days, she felt that he would not do anything to her, and because of the Sanshenghua incident, Lu Xinyan felt a little guilty, so she didn't wait for Wu Shan to speak, and directly Sitting opposite Wushan.
Why don't you take this opportunity to tell him clearly about Sanshenghua!Lu Xinyan thought to herself, after deliberating for a long time, before she was about to speak, Wu Shan suddenly said, "May I ask if the princess knows Kong Tingyu, the eldest young master of the Kong Family, who has passed away?"
Lu Xinyan was stunned, she didn't understand why he mentioned Kong Tingyu, but she still said truthfully: "I know."
Wu Shan asked again: "Did he ever have a marriage contract with your second sister, Miss Lu Er of Ankangbo Mansion?"
"Yes." Lu Xinyan was even more puzzled.
"Master Kong, was he beaten to death by the people around you?"
"Yes, but it happened for a reason..." Tian Bin is Uncle Tian's nephew, and Uncle Tian is someone close to her, so Tian Bin can barely be called true. Everyone knows this, although Lu Xinyan doesn't understand what Wu Shan wants to do, but She didn't want to deny it, but she still had to make it clear.
But Wu Shan didn't give her a chance, "Karma is not good, and those who harm others will eventually harm themselves!"
"What does the eldest prince mean?" Lu Xinyan frowned.
Wu Shan didn't look at her, but just looked at the river.
In fact, from the moment Lu Xinyan boarded the boat, Wu Shan never glanced at her.
Lu Xinyan followed his gaze to look at the river, and found that the wupeng boat they were sitting in was traveling in the completely opposite direction to the royal flower boat, and it was already far away from the royal flower boat before they knew it.
Lu Xinyan didn't think that Wu Shan called her here to harm her, but she still couldn't help asking: "Where is the eldest prince going?"
Wu Shan drank a glass of wine alone, "Princess, if I spend the night with you on this small boat, what will happen if someone finds out tomorrow morning?"
Lu Xinyan was completely confused by Wu Shan's nonsensical words. From the time she got on the boat to now, she understood everything Wu Shan said, but together, she didn't understand what was going on!
"Eldest Prince, I really don't understand what the Eldest Prince wants to say and what he wants to do. Ming people don't speak in secret, the Elder Prince may as well speak up! What I can do for the Eldest Prince, I will try my best to do it!"
"You can do it!" Wu Shan looked at her suddenly, there was only one oil lamp lit in the cabin, the light was very dim, and Wu Shan's eyes were cold, "As long as you sit here obediently for one night."
Looking at the icy eyes that were unintentionally swept over, Lu Xinyan suddenly shuddered.
She realized she had made a mistake.
Asang is Asang, Wushan is Wushan!
Different names, different positions!
Before, she was Ah Zhu and he was Ah Sang. They were just two unlucky ghosts who were almost betrayed. They happened to help each other to save themselves and each other!Before stealing Sanshenghua, they could barely be called friends at that time!
Now she is Lu Xinyan, the owner of Tianwu Zhuzhu County, and he is Wu Shan, the eldest prince of Wacha. Wacha has a deep hatred for Tianwu because of Xiao Yichen, and she is Xiao Yichen's fiancée!
If Wu Shan wanted to use her to threaten Xiao Yichen, she would have no power to fight back now!
Lu Xinyan looked at Wushan vigilantly. At this moment, fireworks were lit not far away.
Fireworks to welcome the arrival of Wu Shan, the eldest prince of Wacha, and Wu Wu, the eldest princess.
The fireworks are bright and dazzling, and the moment they burn, they illuminate Wu Shan's expressionless face.
This is Ah Sang, not Ah Sang!
The ship shook suddenly, and the oil lamp fell down and went out.
Lu Xinyan felt a chill in her heart, thinking that Wu Shan was going to deal with her, but she heard him ask calmly, "Ayou, what's going on?"
"Prince, it's all right."
The hull quickly returned to calm and stopped shaking, Lu Xinyan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It seems that Wu Shan didn't want to do something, it's just a little accident.
When she was thinking about how to get out, she suddenly felt cool under her feet, as if stepping on water. She was wearing embroidered shoes today. If she was wearing leather boots, she might not feel it so quickly.
Lu Xinyan exclaimed, "The cabin is flooded!"
In the darkness, Wu Shan snorted disapprovingly, obviously he was wearing leather boots, and he couldn't feel a little water getting in, "Princess, I advise you not to play tricks, I don't want to knock you out."
"Really!" The water came up very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it had already covered the ankles, Lu Xinyan said anxiously: "If you don't believe me, you can squat down and feel it?"
Seeing her so swearing, Wu Shan couldn't help squatting down, his expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, but his face must have changed a lot, "How could this be? Ayou!"
The boatman who had answered him earlier fell silent.
Wu Shan suddenly felt bad!
When he was touching the cabin, Lu Xinyan immediately stood up and looked into the distance. The fireworks in the distance were still brilliant. Everyone's attention was attracted by the beauty of the fireworks, and they cheered bursts of cheers, even if they shouted their throats here. Someone will hear!
"Do you have a dagger?"
Hearing the seemingly familiar words, Wu Shan was startled, "Yes."
"The sudden flooding of the boat must be man-made. You hold the dagger in your hand to defend yourself." Lu Xinyan thought of the group of men in black who assassinated Wushan in Shuangxi, and felt that the matter was not simple, "Take off your coat."
"What?"
"Light it up! Get someone to rescue you!" Lu Xinyan calmly said, "After I light the fire, you hide at the bottom of the underwater boat!"
"Are you crazy?" Wu Shan said in disbelief, "If it's really artificial, once the fire is lit, what if the people who come are enemies? Since the two of us don't have the slightest bit of skill, don't we just let others slaughter us?"
"So you hide under the boat!" Lu Xinyan said, "Their target is you!"
Wu Shan is the eldest prince of Wacha, if he dies, the flames of war will surely break out, even if Wu Wan has no brains to harm her, she will not dare to drag Wu Shan to be buried with her!So the people who came this time must be targeting Wushan!
Wu Shan was suddenly filled with displeasure, "You want to tell them yourself and distract them? Why, I clearly..." I wanted to harm her!
"Stop talking nonsense! If their target is you, people who can't see you, maybe they won't do anything to me, if you are here, you will only harm the two of us!" Lu Xinyan sternly said: "Take off your clothes quickly! "
When Wu Shan was drank by her, he trembled for some reason, and obediently took off his coat.
At the same time, Lu Xinyan also took off her coat. She took out the torch, pulled off the cover, and lit the clothes.
"Go into the water!"
Wu Shan hesitated for a while, "Go down, I'll wait here."
"Stop talking nonsense, go down! Don't forget that their target is you, you are the prince of Wacha, you can't have an accident! Go down!"
Knowing that Lu Xinyan was right, Wu Shan gritted his teeth, jumped into the water, and hid at the bottom of the boat.
The river was icy cold, and when the cold wind blew, his teeth trembled.
Wu Shan looked at the woman on the board who pursed her lips calmly and set fire to her clothes. For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Lu Xinyan didn't dare to burn the clothes too fast, she looked into the distance while burning, hoping that the imperial forest army on the flower boat or on both sides of the bank, even the people watching, could see this small flame on the river.
But tonight's fireworks are so beautiful!
The fireworks carefully crafted by palace craftsmen are more brilliant and beautiful than any previous year.
It was so beautiful that everyone was fascinated by it, and no one even took a look at the river in the distance.
A piece of clothing was about to be burnt out, the fireworks didn't stop, and the cheers continued, so Lu Xinyan could only start burning her own clothes.
At this time, the water wave began to sway slightly, Lu Xinyan on the deck didn't notice it, but Wu Shan felt it.
"Someone is coming." He whispered.
Lu Xinyan was overjoyed at first, then surprised.
If Xiao Yichen and others came, they would never be so silent.
Coming so quietly can only show that the other party is not kind.
Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth and quietly got into the water.
What I said before is that because the other party's goal is not her, she may let her go, but to trick Wu Shan into the water, in case the enemy comes, so that he can escape.
The river water in late winter and early spring is as cold as a knife. When you enter the water, it is no different from entering a hole in the ice.
Lu Xinyan didn't care about these things, "Let's go."
The boat is so big, the other party will definitely find it, and there is no other way but to leave.
Lu Xinyan took the lead to swim to the shore, but no one around her followed.
"I can't swim." Wu Shan whispered, "You can go."
It’s really a house leak and it’s raining all night. After thinking about it, I didn’t expect that Wushan can’t swim!
If it was an ordinary person whom she didn't know, Lu Xinyan would definitely abandon him and run for her life without hesitation!
However, he is the Asang who she stole his Sanshenghua, and he is Wushan, the eldest prince of Wacha.
Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth and swam back to Wu Shan.
"What are you doing back?" Wu Shan looked at her in disbelief.
"Shh, don't talk." Lu Xinyan gestured to him to shut up, "No matter what happens later, don't move."
At this time, a similar black boat approached them quietly, and it was on fire, and Lu Xinyan watched quietly.
There were six men in black on board, wearing masks.
One of the men in black jumped onto Lu Xinyan's previous boat, and came out not long after entering the cabin, and said in a low voice, "Boss, there is no one."
One person replied: "This fire just started, people must not have run far, maybe they are hiding in the bottom of the boat, put out the fire first, and then go into the water to search!"
"Yes, boss."
The fire went out all of a sudden, and the surroundings became even darker.
Lu Xinyan took off the shoes on the soles of her feet and threw them forward vigorously.
Someone exclaimed, "Boss, there is movement over there."
"Chase!"
Hush, huh, huh, after a few slight sounds of entering the water, the surrounding area quickly quieted down. It seemed that those people were chasing after the shoes.
Lu Xinyan was weak, so she couldn't throw it far, guessing that the enemy would come back soon, she whispered: "Let's hide under their boat, you hold on to the side of the boat and slowly move over."
In the darkness, Wu Shan said weakly, "I...can't move."
It hasn't been long since Lu Xinyan entered the water, and she has been moving back and forth, so she can hold on despite the cold.
But Wu Shan soaked in the cold water for a long time in his single clothes. Because he couldn't swim, he remained motionless, and his hands holding the boat were already frozen.
With Lu Xinyan's strength, she couldn't swim with Wu Shan who couldn't swim!
How to do?
She suddenly smelled a faint smell of alcohol from Wu Shan, and had an idea, "Do you still have the wine you drank just now?"
Wu Shan said: "Yes."
"how many?"
"About... two altars."
"You wait here."
"Hey, what are you doing..."
Before Wu Shan could speak, Lu Xinyan had already quietly climbed onto the boat, touched the cabin, found the two jars of wine in the dark, and the half of the jug that Wu Shan hadn't finished drinking before.
She brought half a jug of wine to Wu Shan's mouth, "Drink it and warm it up."
Wu Shan raised his head without any hesitation, Gulu Gulu drank most of the jug of wine.
When he finished drinking and his body was slowly heating up, Lu Xinyan, who just didn't know where to go, came back to him, "Can you move?"
Wu Shan moved a bit, "It's ok."
"Let's go, let's go." During the movement, Lu Xinyan said: "Later, if someone approaches you, just take the dagger and stab it directly. Don't ask who it is. If I approach you, I will make a sound. Don't worry about stabbing the wrong person. .”
The two of them had just touched the bottom of the enemy's boat, and there was a wave of water shaking. It seemed that the six people had returned without finding anyone.
"You three, search the bottom of that boat."
"Yes, boss."
After a while, the ship shook, and the three came back, "Boss, there is no one."
"I'm sure I haven't gone far, come up for a rest first! After a while, spread out, focus on the boat, spread out and search, and come back in half an hour."
It takes a lot of energy in the water, these people have been swimming for less than half an hour before.
The fireworks in the distance seemed to slow down a bit.
"It smells like wine."
"I smell it too."
"Where does such a strong smell of wine come from?"
In doubt, "Boss, it's bad, our boat is on fire!" A man in black exclaimed.
It turned out that after Lu Xinyan got the wine just now, she spilled a jar of wine on the enemy ship. While everyone was on board, Lu Xinyan quietly took out the torch and lit the ship.
"I'll go back to the bottom of the original boat later, remember what I said before, if I feel someone stab me hard!"
After she quietly explained to Wu Shan, she suddenly swam towards the distance and paddled vigorously, making the sound of water.
"Boss, there is someone over there!" With the light of the fire, the six people on board could clearly see that someone was in the water.
"Chase!"
After there was no movement in the surrounding water, Wu Shan didn't know what mood he was in. Holding the dagger, he slowly moved to the bottom of the boat he was on when he arrived.
The fire burned very vigorously, warming his people, but his heart was very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the water wave shook again.
It turned out that the six people had chased them once before but failed to catch them. They knew they had been deceived by the other party.
Wu Shan's heart was pounding violently, and he remained motionless, staring at everything around him with wide eyes.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of water and panting not far from him. It seemed that someone came up to take a breath after staying under the water for a long time.
Wu Shan remembered Lu Xinyan's confession, without thinking about it, he stabbed hard at the sound.
I don't know where it was stabbed, the man let out a muffled groan, and there was a smell of blood, and then fell silent.
Wu Shan's heart beat faster, he succeeded!
The accomplice who came with that person seemed to realize that something was wrong, swam to the empty space, emerged from the water, and called softly, "Fourth."
He stopped on the surface of the water for a while, seeing that no one came up to take a breath, he knew that the fourth child might be in danger.
The accomplice did not dare to be careless at all, sneaked into the water and swam towards the position of the boat.
The water wave swayed, and Wu Shan acted again without hesitation based on his intuition.
The sound of the dagger piercing into the flesh disappeared into the water, and Wu Shan couldn't even feel it, but the increasingly heavy smell of blood told him that he had succeeded again!
It is not easy to use force in the water, but the material of Wu Shan's dagger is the same as that of the dagger that Wa Ci brought out on the negotiating table. He killed him easily.
The surrounding water stopped shaking, Wu Shan knew that he was safe for the time being, but he couldn't calm down, so he looked in the direction where Lu Xinyan swam just now.
After Lu Xinyan made a circle in the water, she stayed there quietly.
At night, the bottom of the water is pitch black, and nothing can be seen. Both parties can only perceive each other's existence by feeling. This is an advantage for Lu Xinyan, who has no skills but is quite good at water.
After Lu Xinyan breathed twice quietly, the water around her began to shake.
Someone is approaching.
She took out the dagger, and when she felt that the man was approaching, she stabbed hard and sank quickly.
With her weak strength and limited strength in the water, Lu Xinyan knew that it was impossible for her to seriously injure the other party at once, so she swam away immediately after she succeeded.
The man was stabbed, and the pain made him angry, jumping around in the water, trying to find out his attacker.
However, not only did he miss, but he was attacked again and again, and when he finally surfaced exhausted to take a breath, his neck felt cold and he sank into the water.
Lu Xinyan's heart beat like a pounding.
This is her first kill!
Before she had time to express herself, the water around her shook again, and it seemed that someone was coming again.
Lu Xinyan waited with breath, and killed another person in the same way.
At this time, she had exhausted too much energy, so after a short rest, she swam towards the boat.
Wu Shan felt that someone was approaching, and was about to swing out the dagger, "It's me!" After hearing a familiar voice, he immediately withdrew it.
"I...killed two people just now." Wu Shan said, this was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands.
"I also killed...two people."
"There are two more." Wu Shan said: "As long as we kill them, we will be safe for the time being."
"Correct."
After the two finished speaking, they remained silent. The boat was burning so far that it was almost at the point where there was water, and it was estimated that it would be extinguished soon. However, the people on the two flower boats still did not find them.
Even if the enemy didn't find out, even if they killed the two, if no one rescued them, they would not be able to survive and would be frozen to death.
"There is movement, get ready." One body began to stiffen, and the other almost lost strength. The two hid at the bottom of the boat back to back, holding a dagger, and looking around vigilantly.
A figure suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the water. In the faint firelight, those eyes were as fierce as a beast.
He moved so fast that before Lu Xinyan could react, the dagger was already in front of her eyes, she subconsciously closed her eyes, blood splashed on her face, and she felt something sinking around her.
The pain she imagined was gone, she opened her eyes suddenly, and the enemy kept the posture of stabbing, and fell into the water, Wushan beside her also sank into the water, almost submerged above her head.
It turned out that just a moment ago, Wu Shan suddenly stabbed the enemy with the dagger in both hands, and the enemy was caught off guard by him.
Lu Xinyan quickly dived into the water and grabbed Wu Shan, pulling him out of the water with all her strength.
Wu Shan coughed violently, and the moment he entered the water, he choked up a lot of water.
"Thank you!"
"The one who wants to say thank you should be me." Wu Shan said.
Immediately, the two stopped talking, because there was still a known enemy and countless unknown dangers.
At this time, conserving energy is the most important thing, saying one more word is a waste.
The last person must have foreseen the danger, until Lu Xinyan and the two of them were about to freeze to death, there was no sign of that person.
Waiting any longer is not an option, the two of them will freeze to death sooner or later.
"I also spilled wine on this boat just now." Lu Xinyan said.
Wu Shan was silent for a while, "Come on."
Using fire to attract the people on the two flower boats was their only hope, although they had failed twice before.
Lu Xinyan took out a fire pocket, wow, the boat was on fire.
The boat was burning hot, and the heat warmed the bodies of the two, but there was still no sign of rescuers wherever the flames reached.
In fact, their location was too far away from the shore and the two flower boats. Even if someone accidentally saw it, they would only think it was a small light reflected by the fireworks.
"Someone is coming!" Wu Shan said suddenly, looking into the distance.
Lu Xinyan looked up, and her whole body suddenly became cold.
What came was a small Uppong boat, and there were six people standing in the boat, all dressed in black and covering their faces, the same as before.
Now, how can they have the strength to deal with it?
The hearts of both of them sank to the bottom of the valley.
The boat is getting closer...
