Seeing her scared look, Jun Beicheng felt more and more irritated in his heart. Is he that scary?
"It's still a while before we get off the ship. Just rest peacefully and settle the accounts slowly when we get back."
Still settling accounts? She just wanted to survive, and it wasn't like she was breaking any laws of heaven!
After a while, Shen Tianci was sent over, and the mother and son hugged each other and cried. When will this life of wandering end?
This time I spent a lot of money to escape, and it would be difficult to leave if I missed this opportunity.
Besides, Jun Beicheng would not give her a second chance. If she missed, she would lose her life. She really didn't dare to run away easily in the future.
And after this time, it might be safer to stay in Prince Zhan's Mansion, because Beigong Liangyu would not let her go.
Instead of taking his son to be hunted outside, it would be better to stay in Prince Zhan's Mansion to avoid the limelight.
At least she was the only one suffering some physical pain, and her son would be fine.
Thinking of the man trying to crush her fiercely, she felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen.
By the way, Jun Beicheng is not worried at all about her stealing seeds and getting pregnant? Or do you think someone of her status can be treated casually?
He would definitely not give her the status of a widow with a child, and naturally he would not let her give birth to a child with a low status.
She also refused to let her go. I really couldn't understand what was going on in this man's mind.
He clearly suspected that she was a spy and a traitor, yet he still wanted to have a life-and-death affair with her.
Maybe, maybe, this man only looks serious on the surface, but is actually a lecher at heart?
When Shen Tianci saw the injury on his mother's neck, his eyes turned red with anger: "Mom, I don't want you to stay and suffer anymore."
The little guy's sensibility made Shen Zhaoning's heart ache, and now it wasn't like he had no chance at all.
She looked at the only window in the house. As long as she jumped from there, she would be absolutely sure to escape from the water.
But Shen Tianci couldn't do it. There were armored guards on the river. If she could stay in the water without breathing, how long could the child hold her breath? She couldn't take risks with her son.
This method obviously didn't work, so she could only comfort her son: "Be good, mom is fine, the prince didn't do anything to me."
Shen Tianci pouted, and tears fell down: "Mom, you're lying, I heard you crying. You cried so miserably, your neck is broken, and there are so many bruises on your hands. He must have beaten me." is you!"
Well, Shen Zhaoning's pretty face turned crimson, and as expected, this place was so uncomfortable, everything was heard!
Her face was filled with embarrassment, and she explained in a panic: "I didn't beat her, she just... cried loudly, just pretending."
The little guy obviously didn't believe it, and secretly made a note in his heart that he must avenge his mother in the future!
Someone brought food over in the evening, but Jun Beicheng didn't show up again.
It was getting late, and all the boats on the river had withdrawn.
The ship is brightly lit and will stop briefly at the next port. At that time, they will disembark and return to Kyoto by land.
Despite the current situation and mood, the scenery at night is quite nice.
The lights of the town in the distance are dim, like the stars in the sky in the dark night, shining brightly.
Shen Tianci was lying in front of the small window, his baby-fat face full of disappointment: "Mom, it looks like Yuxiang Town there. I miss Er Niang and Uncle Carpenter."
The three years in Yuxiang Town were uneventful and stable, and they were also the most comfortable three years in Shen Zhaoning's life for more than ten years.
Why doesn't she want to go back to her comfortable days, setting off lanterns by the river and counting the stars with her son?
It's just that the current situation doesn't allow it, but this has always been the goal life of their mother and son, and it will be realized one day.
In order to appease her son, she held his little hand and said with a smile: "The lady will take you to the town when you get off the boat later, but after you leave this door, you have to call me dad again, you know?"
Shen Tianci pouted and nodded reluctantly, pulling his mother out: "Let's go out now, we'll be there soon."
One large and one small walked onto the bow of the boat. The summer wind on the river was very cool, and it was indeed much more comfortable than inside the boat.
You have to load and unload goods in the town ahead, so there is a night market in the evening, which is very lively.
After a while, the boat docked, and the mother and son were waiting aside to get off the boat.
Shen Zhaoning held his son's little hand, full of joy and eager to try, but before he got off the boat, there was a commotion behind him.
The noise became louder and louder, making it impossible to ignore. A fire soon broke out on the ship. Along with the cries and screams of men, women, and children, a group of black-clad killers emerged.
These people have been ambushing the shore for a long time. Not only that, there are also people on the boat who are in harmony with each other.
Soon all the merchants and passengers on the ship became hostages, and even if there were armored guards on the ship, they did not dare to act rashly.
A group of assassins drove a group of passengers to the bow of the ship, including Shen Zhaoning and Shen Tianci.
When the armored guards came over, the assassins were outmatched and could only shout loudly: "If you dare to act rashly again, these people will die!"
After saying that, he chopped down a merchant with a single blow. Faced with so many hostages, the armored guard could only temporarily stop the attack.
The assassin smiled smugly when he saw this scene. The War King was famous and naturally he put the people of the Southern Dynasty first, so they came up with a way to kidnap the merchants.
They shouted arrogantly: "Let Jun Beicheng come out! He will not lose if he exchanges so many lives for one war king!"
It turned out that they were coming for Jun Beicheng. These people should have been waiting here for a long time to attack him, and they also took the boat away from the shore again.
But who knows what they were thinking?
When the ship is destroyed and everyone is killed, all the evidence will disappear in the vast river, and no one will know what happened on the ship.
These people may not have planned to stay alive in the first place, so it would be a good deal to exchange a ship for the War King's life.
Everyone looked at their God of War with hope. This man had been guarding them at the border for more than ten years, and he would also protect their safety this time.
Jun Beicheng stood on the bow of the ship in a dark robe, holding a long sword, with flying black hair, and his cold facial features were hidden in the shadows, with a dark expression.
Shen Zhaoning was afraid that if he really used her as a substitute, they would all die. In desperation, he borrowed his son's machine crossbow and aimed it at the assassin who hijacked them.
There are dozens of armored guards on the ship, all of them are good fighters with one against ten. These assassins have no chance of winning, so they take hostages.
Now the assassins are scattered all over the ship, and there are only about ten people on the front of the ship, so the chance of winning is greater in a fight.
In the crowd, Jun Beicheng didn't see that familiar face, but he spotted the mechanical crossbow popping up.
There was no way around it. Shen Zhaoning was small and it was difficult to stand out in the crowd. It took him a long time to find an angle to aim at the assassin.
The moment the crossbow arrow was fired, the long sword in Jun Beicheng's hand also flew out.
The lives of three assassins were killed in just an instant. The armored guards cooperated with great speed and took action instantly. Zuo and You harvested the heads of two more assassins respectively.
The sudden change in the situation scared a group of hostages and fled in all directions, leaving the remaining assassins unable to control the situation.
Shen Zhaoning held her son and was dispersed by the crowd, and was forced to flee to the luxurious guest room on the highest floor.
