Moonless night.
The dark clouds avoided the moon, making the night with thousands of lights on the house seem a bit gloomy.
God, as if he is used to being unfaithful, used dark clouds to block the bright moon that symbolizes reunion during this festive season.
On the Xiangshui River, a violent explosion attracted everyone's attention.
Because all the Imperial Guards who were familiar with water had gone into the water to rescue people, the rest of the Imperial Guards masters on the flower boat could only look at the water with wary faces, not daring to act rashly.
On the bow of the boat, eldest son Fengyu stared at the water, his expression also very solemn.
"Commander, the hull of the ship has begun to leak. The Queen and the princes must leave as soon as possible!" A soldier of the Forbidden Army walked over quickly and reported anxiously.
"Calm down, don't panic!"
Changsun Fengyu saw the panic of the Forbidden Army officers in front of him and shouted softly, "There are so many people on the boat. Unless the flower boat docks, there is no way for them all to leave. You should divide some of them to plug the cracks in the boat first and slow down the damage of the hull." The speed of water.”
"yes!"
The Forbidden Army officers took the order and led a dozen people to seal the cracks first.
"Commander, it's not good!"
At this time, another Forbidden Army officer hurriedly came over and said urgently, "Under the boat, something seems to be holding me down and I can't move."
When eldest son Fengyu heard the news, his face changed slightly. He quickly walked to the edge of the flower boat and looked down to see what went wrong.
"boom!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a violent explosion sounded again, and the ship's hull shook violently.
On the bow of the boat, the eldest son, Sun Fengyu, stumbled and almost fell down.
"Commander."
Behind him, the Forbidden Army soldiers hurriedly stretched out their hands to support him.
Changsun Fengyu stabilized his body, and without thinking, began to remove the armor from his body.
"Commander, what are you going to do?" the Forbidden Army soldiers at the rear asked in surprise.
"Go take a look underwater."
Changsun Fengyu said solemnly, "Someone must have done something underneath the boat to prevent the flower boat from docking and sink into the river. I have to see what went wrong."
"Commander, please go down!" the Forbidden Army soldiers said hurriedly.
"You are not strong enough, I will go there myself."
Changsun Fengyu responded, "You should be careful on the ship and don't be careless."
After speaking, eldest grandson Fengyu jumped into the river without saying another word.
The slightly cool river water was not bone-chilling, but the underwater field of vision was greatly affected. Coupled with the darkness, the visible range was less than a foot in diameter.
Changsun Fengyu swam under the hull with all his strength to see what was trapping the flower boat.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a crossbow arrow passed by at great speed without warning, and it was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Um?"
Changsun Fengyu sensed this and immediately turned sideways to avoid the sudden attack of crossbow arrows.
The edge of the arrow grazed his chest, and because there was no protection from the armor, it tore his clothes directly.
Changsun Fengyu's expression darkened, and he quickly swam over in the direction from which the crossbow arrows were flying.
Soon, Changsun Fengyu came directly under the hull, and saw anchor ropes passing under the hull and extending infinitely to the bottom of the river, fixing the flower boat in the middle of the Xiangshui River.
Around the anchor ropes, several black figures were on guard with hard crossbows, and beside each black figure, there was a jar upside down in the water, which seemed to be preparing for several people to breathe.
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Fengyu immediately pulled out the long knife from his waist and rushed forward to cut off the rope that trapped the flower boat.
However, several shadow assassins also discovered the commander of the Forbidden Army in front of them early, and fired the crossbow arrows in their hands.
In the blink of an eye, several crossbow arrows came close to him, and Zhang Sun Fengyu slashed them with his sword. The water surged and directly knocked away all the crossbow arrows.
Several shadow assassins saw the man's extraordinary skills and looked at each other. Two of them put their heads into the jar. After taking a breath, they pulled out the short blades from their waists and charged forward.
Changsun Fengyu looked at the two people rushing in front. He did not dodge or evade, and penetrated his true energy into the long knife, and slashed out again.
The powerful sword energy cut through the river water and slashed at the two people.
However, the two shadow assassins were both masters. They blocked with short blades and jointly blocked the sword.
In the turbulent water, the two night assassins' hard crossbows were triggered again, and two crossbow arrows flew out, and they counterattacked in the chaos.
Two feet away, Changsun Fengyu's field of vision was affected by the water waves, and he could only rely on the warrior's perception to barely avoid two crossbow arrows.
Obviously, compared to the experience of underwater fighting, several shadow assassins are obviously more experienced and better prepared.
Therefore, even if Changsun Fengyu's cultivation had an advantage, it seemed difficult to gain the upper hand for a while.
at the same time.
In the flower boat, all the princes on the boat began to panic because of the leakage in the hull.
However, the flower boat was located in the middle of the Xiangshui River, and none of the princes who did not know the nature of water dared to leave without authorization.
Compared to the panic of the princes, Li Ziye acted very calmly during the banquet, not panicking at all about the current situation.
Similarly, Le Ru and Wan Rongrong, who had strong cultivation levels, did not show any panic and responded calmly.
Although it is difficult for warriors to take advantage of their individual abilities on the battlefield, in this situation, strong cultivation is the confidence.
"Boy, aren't you going to help?"
During the banquet, Le Ru spoke and said, "Under our feet, there seems to be fluctuations of fighting energy."
"What help?"
Li Ziye poured himself a glass of wine and responded with a half-smile, "My Qingxuan is still here. Who will protect her if I leave?"
As he spoke, Li Ziye reached out and patted the back of the woman next to him, signaling that he shouldn't be nervous because he was here.
Yu Qingxuan felt the warmth of the young master's hands, and his tense body obviously relaxed a lot.
Behind, Le Ru was speechless when he heard someone's answer.
This kid really doesn't care about anything that has nothing to do with him.
The current situation is a bit troublesome.
They didn't know how many assassins were underwater, nor when the rescue ship would arrive. Once the broken ship sank, not many of the princes on board would survive.
"Qingxuan, how is your water quality?"
Among the panicked princes, Li Ziye picked up the wine glass, took a sip slowly, and asked questions one after another.
"good."
Yu Qingxuan responded softly, "I can barely protect myself."
"That's good."
Li Ziye nodded and looked at the queen on the main seat, with an undetectable smile on his face.
There is no doubt that there must be experts from the royal family on board, and there will be no problem with the safety of the queen and others.
However, these princes were not so lucky.
If one person doesn't do it well, someone else will take over from him.
The current situation is very interesting. The princes want to leave but cannot, and the queen can leave but dare not.
The human heart is truly the most complex thing in the world.
Presumably, the Queen is also in a dilemma now.
Does she have the guts to abandon all the princes and leave first?
This person who set up the situation is really awesome.
An assassin has not yet appeared, but everyone is in chaos. Those who want to leave can't leave, and those who can leave dare not leave.
To be honest, he loves it!
