Chapter 510: The Pot is Over
Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly, thinking that this prince is still smart at the moment.
"You just blocked a sword for me. I remember that. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I owe you a favor." The third prince suddenly said.
"Your Highness, you'd better think about how to escape safely first! What's the point of asking for favors when your life is almost gone?" Jiang Youzhen's face was pale. He had never been in so much pain before.
"Don't worry! As long as we hold on for another quarter of an hour, the prefect of Jingzhao will be here." The third prince said confidently.
Jiang Youzhen was not optimistic. These assassins were well-trained and were clearly targeting the Third Prince. It was obvious that they were determined to take his life.
Once they start to disregard the consequences, they are indeed passive, and a lot can happen in a quarter of an hour.
"Are you okay?" Li Dongsheng asked with concern, holding the blood-stained sword in his hand and looking at Jiang Youzhen's pale face.
Jiang Youzhen shook his head, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead due to the pain.
However, at this moment, the door was cut open by a big knife, and four or five assassins rushed in quickly.
The third prince immediately grasped the hilt of the sword and formed a circle with the other people, blocking Jiang Youzhen behind him.
Jiang Youzhen nodded secretly, thinking that she was still a little responsible. She secretly put the sleeve arrow on her wrist, planning to act according to circumstances later.
Soon, a fight broke out in the house, but more and more assassins poured in, and some assassins flipped out from the bottom of the water and broke into the room through the window.
It was then that Jiang Youzhen discovered that there was also a fight going on in a small boat not far away, and they were soon defeated.
"The attack is too fierce. We are fully prepared. If it doesn't work, we can only jump off the boat." Li Dongsheng took a breath and shouted.
"You can't jump off the boat. There are assassins underwater." Jiang Youzhen hurriedly stopped him. It would be impossible to see clearly underwater and it would be easy to be assassinated. It would be more difficult than on shore.
At this time, Jiang Yi and the others were protecting Jiang Youzhen. For them, as long as their young master was not harmed, they didn't need to worry about anything else.
Just now the young master asked them to go and assist that prince, but he was stabbed with a sword, and now they will not leave no matter what you say.
Jiang Youzhen leaned over to the window and saw an open boat not far away, and then he had an idea.
"Jiang Li, go over there and ask the boatman to bring the boat over. Be careful in case an assassin suddenly rushes out from underwater." Jiang Youzhen said as he took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li agreed and then flew down.
While a fierce battle was going on in the pleasure boat over here, the second prince's small black-sailed boat was also attacked over there.
Fortunately, the second prince brought a lot of people with him and was able to reach a stalemate with the assassins.
"Your Highness, these people know our whereabouts." Zhou Hai was shocked. They rented a small boat to hide their identities.
Where did those people get the information from? Could it be that there is a traitor among them?
"You want to wipe us out at once. You have a big appetite." The second prince sneered.
Looking at the pleasure boat, I saw the assassins rushing in and out crazily, killing anyone who blocked their way, and many innocent people had been implicated.
"We can't hide anymore. After we solve the problem here, we will go to the third brother." The second prince knew that he could not sit idly by this time because his whereabouts were also exposed.
Seeing Jiang Li bringing the boat closer, Jiang Youzhen shouted, "Get off the boat!"
Only if they left the boat would the assassins chase the boat. There were still many innocent people on the pleasure boat. Only if they left could the people survive.
Jiang Youzhen didn't expect those assassins not to kill innocent people. Just now, she saw an assassin slashing at a man who blocked his way with a sword, just like cutting melons and vegetables.
The Third Prince and his companions immediately understood. Li Dongsheng pulled over the Crown Prince of Rong who was about to jump off the boat and let the Third Prince go down first.
The Prince of Rong was so angry that he was about to start cursing, but was pushed down by Jiang Youzhen.
"Go down, we'll cover your retreat." Li Dongsheng pushed Jiang Youzhen over, said this, then turned around and fought off the assassin with Jiang Li and the others.
"Okay, I'll give you the credit."
Li Dongsheng nearly slipped. It was already this late and he was still thinking about credit?
Ignoring the words of the Prince of Rongguo who wanted to leave first, Jiang Youzhen insisted on waiting until Li Dongsheng and Jiang Li jumped off the boat before ordering the boatman to row faster.
After stabbing three assassins on the boat, the boatman began to row tremblingly. If it weren't for the 100 taels, he would never dare to take this job.
However, seeing the assassins jumping into the water one by one, the boatman became even more frightened.
I should have known not to take the silver. I have the life to take it but not the life to spend it!
"Don't worry, row hard and we will keep you safe." Jiang Youzhen saw that the boatman was very scared and had a sad face, so he comforted him.
"I say, can you hurry up? If not, I'll give you another hundred taels." The Prince of Rong was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
The boatman was delighted when he heard this, "Really?"
The boat was rowing very fast, of course not as fast as an arrow shot from a bow, but the boatman was rowing towards the shore at the fastest speed of his life.
However, Jiang Youzhen soon noticed something unusual, and soon a black figure jumped out of the water and flew over the boat. In a flash, a paddle was pulled over, and the assassin fell into the water again with a splash.
Everyone looked over in shock, only to see Jiang Youzhen patting his chest and saying fearfully, "Luckily I was alert. I'll beat you to death."
The third prince asked again suspiciously: "Are you sure you don't know martial arts?"
Why did he feel that Jiang Youzhen was more perceptive than those who practiced martial arts?
"It's all the result of practicing calligraphy. I've had a good ear and quick hands since I was young. Otherwise, why do you think I can write so fast?" Jiang Youzhen made up a story while listening to the surrounding sounds with his ears perked up.
Everyone: ...I see! So calligraphy practice has such benefits?
"Here it comes!" Jiang Youzhen shouted in a low voice, and everyone was immediately alert.
The boat was originally difficult to maneuver, but the few people formed a circle and miraculously managed to hold it. Anyone who climbed onto the side of the boat was beaten back with the weapons in their hands.
If they stabbed from above, Jiang Youzhen was quick-witted and wielded the oars randomly, and he actually hit two of them. Li Dongsheng was also good at martial arts and was very good at fighting. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate, and they couldn't do anything to them.
After scratching the thigh of an assassin, Li Dongsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath. He was also very tired after killing for so long.
Soon, however, there was no more movement on the water. The hands of the people holding the swords were shaking, and their nerves were tense, more nervous than before. Because they knew that the assassins were so persistent that they could not retreat suddenly.
However, the next moment, everyone only heard a bang.
Just when everyone was about to ask what happened, Jiang Youzhen felt a chill under his feet. When he looked again, he found that water had entered the cabin.
"They are breaking the boats and filling them with water. Stab them with your swords and kill as many as you can."
Jiang Youzhen took a bamboo pole and poked it randomly downwards, and soon felt the obstacle.
