Chapter 511 Underwater Assassination
Those people wanted to defeat them one by one, so they could only disperse them. Once they fell into the water, wouldn't they be at the mercy of others? Jiang Youzhen was not afraid, but he felt a little regretful. This time, it was indeed a great achievement.
When she got into the water later, she planned to help if she could. If she couldn't, she would just save herself.
"What should I do?" The boatman was about to cry. He had known not to take the two hundred taels of silver.
"Row quickly, we are not far from the shore. Once you reach the shore, I will give you five hundred taels." The third prince shouted anxiously. He also knew that once he entered the water, those people would come after him and his hope of survival would be slim.
Upon hearing this, the boatman increased his speed. Every time he thought he had reached his limit, he could actually go a little faster.
The boatman paddled hard, while Jiang Youzhen and his men poked at the side of the boat with their swords and bamboo poles. This certainly had some effect, but it still couldn't prevent more and more holes in the cabin and more and more water from entering.
Seeing that the river water had already reached their ankles, everyone was getting anxious. Now they were still a long way from the shore and could not even reach it.
"The boat is drowning faster and faster, what should we do?" The Prince of Rongguo cried, leaving Jiang Youzhen with the impression that he was a coward.
"If there is no other choice, we can only jump into the river. It's too late to expect the prefect to rescue us now." Jiang Youzhen gasped. Anyway, she could escape safely, and those people were not targeting her.
"Your Highness and the Crown Prince are good at swimming?" Jiang Youzhen asked.
"I can swim, but we are still so far from the shore. I am not sure if I can swim over! Besides, the assassins are underwater. Once we go down, they will definitely not let us go. We are definitely no match for them if we fight alone."
The Prince of Rong was so worried that he was already holding on to Li Dongsheng with one hand.
"Your Highness is right. Once we get into the water, we will be defeated one by one by them. No one will be spared."
The Third Prince knew that these people were implicated by him, but they were now on the same boat. Once they got into the water, the assassins would not let them go and would definitely kill them without a single survivor.
On the houseboat of Jianqiu Pavilion not far away, two servants saw this and quickly hid in the side room.
"Your Highness, what should I do?"
"Don't worry about it. Let's just sit on the mountain and watch the fight. Just hide well." The Fourth Prince didn't care about all that. It was their fate that both of his two brothers died.
However, as soon as they finished speaking, an assassin broke in and started slashing with a sword.
Jiang Youzhen's eyes can see in the dark, but she can't see clearly underwater without avoiding water droplets.
Searching the water, he suddenly discovered that a new group of people had arrived on the pleasure boat, and the leader was actually the second prince?
"Second Prince, we are here, come and save us!" Jiang Youzhen waved towards the pleasure boat and shouted.
Everyone was startled and looked back, only to find that there were indeed many people on the pleasure boat, but they could not see clearly who they were.
"You can see clearly from such a distance? How do you know that it is the second prince?" the third prince questioned.
"I have had good eyesight since I was a child and can see very far. That must be the Second Prince. I can recognize him even if he turns into ash."
Jiang Youzhen didn't care what the Second Prince's purpose was in appearing on the pleasure boat at this moment, but she just wanted to let people know that the Second Prince was also here, so that the Second Prince could not escape unscathed and had to come to save them.
Turned into ash? Jiang Youzhen and the second prince are so familiar with each other? However, the third prince rolled his eyes and thought of Jiang Youzhen's intention.
"Second brother, it's me, Third brother, come and save me!" The Third Prince also shouted.
"And me! And me! I am the son of the Rong Kingdom, help me!"
"You...don't leave me! I'm scared!" The boatman who was still rowing hard was afraid of being left behind.
Suddenly, the movement under the water seemed to have slowed down. Jiang Youzhen was wondering when he saw a few people floating on the water, swimming towards the studio.
Jiang Youzhen understood immediately, "Second Prince, be careful! Those assassins are going to board the pleasure boat to kill you."
These people are not just targeting the third prince, they will kill any prince.
The boat had already sunk above my calves and was sinking faster and faster, reaching my thighs in a short while.
"Third brother, hold on, we will send the boat over right away." The second prince shouted.
Jiang Youzhen glanced at the bottom of the boat and his heart sank. "We jumped off the boat and the boatman stayed. They just want to kill us. You stay on the boat and wait for us to lure them away. Then you can swim back to the shore and save your life."
The boatman stopped what he was doing in panic, "No! That won't work, the boat will sink."
"You stay up there. If you go down now you'll be courting death." Jiang Youzhen said sternly. Only if they could attract the assassin away would the boatman not be implicated.
"The boat is about to sink, let's get off!" Jiang Youzhen said and jumped off the boat first.
Li Dongsheng cursed inwardly, "You don't even have any martial arts skills, what are you trying to show off?"
He then jumped down immediately. Jiang Youzhen was holding a dagger in her hand, intending to use the water-repellent beads to kill the assassin, but unexpectedly Li Dongsheng swam over, so she had to put the water-repellent beads back.
At this time, two assassins had already swam over. Jiang Youzhen could vaguely make out their figures. He immediately opened his sleeve arrows and quickly shot out two arrows.
Because the distance was too close, the two assassins were shot in the left side of the chest and were immediately unable to move. The surroundings turned red.
There was no light underwater at night, so Li Dongsheng couldn't see clearly. He could only swim towards Jiang Youzhen based on the direction he was in just now.
There were a few splashes on the water again. It should be the Third Prince and his companions coming down. As soon as Jiang Youzhen saw the Third Prince, he immediately swam over.
Now is a good opportunity to make a contribution. Although the third prince is not a good person, it will definitely be beneficial to make him owe you a life-saving favor.
Seeing that the third prince was about to surface to breathe and the two assassins had already swam over, Jiang Youzhen used his hidden arrow to shoot at them.
It’s a pity that underwater archery is different from that on land, and it’s easy to miss the target. The two arrows just now only hit their arms and shoulders.
Jiang Youzhen looked back at Li Dongsheng and found that he was some distance away from him. It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, so Jiang Youzhen simply took out the water-repellent beads.
Sure enough, with the water-repellent beads, she moved as fast as if she were walking on flat ground.
The third prince was just floating to the surface for air when he suddenly sensed the danger and swam forward desperately in panic.
Jiang Youzhen took a step forward and drew his sword, stabbing at the assassin's chest. The assassin was caught off guard and after being stabbed, his eyes widened with unwillingness.
Jiang Youzhen did the same thing and after dealing with another assassin, she glanced at the assassins underwater again and found two more not far away, so she quickly moved over.
One sword cut the opponent's throat. The other one sensed the danger and was about to swim to the side. Jiang Youzhen stepped forward and pierced the opponent's chest with a sword.
With the help of the water-repellent beads, she felt as if she were assisted by God.
Those assassins could only rely on the faint light to see their surroundings in the pitch-black water. The light inside the water-repellent barrier could not be seen from outside the water-repellent beads. Jiang Youzhen killed them like a chicken.
