She held on to the railing on the side and barely managed to steady herself.
But before she could recover, several men in black appeared on the deck, the knives in their hands still dripping with blood.
Ruan Tanghun was almost scared to death.
She hurriedly hid aside and pressed her body tightly against the hull of the boat to cover her body.
She was just wondering why the ship caught fire for no reason, but it turned out to be man-made.
But who are these people? Why kill the people on the boat?
But now she couldn't afford to think about these things, it was important to escape.
Before those people noticed her, she dragged her weak body, moved her steps gently, and prepared to climb over the railing and jump into the lake.
But as soon as she lifted her foot, her other foot was hugged tightly.
She was startled and began to struggle, but she couldn't break free.
She looked down and realized that a man covered in blood was holding her back.
"Miss Ruan, save...save me."
Ruan Tang recognized this person as Gu Zhong.
She can't save herself now, how can she save him? Even if she could be saved, she wouldn't.
It would be better if he died, and Ye Qingyu wouldn't have to marry him.
But this man was bleeding so much, and he was still holding on to her like a dog-skin plaster, with no intention of letting go.
If this continues, as soon as those men in black come over, she will really have no choice but to die.
Helpless, she had no choice but to lie to him in a low voice: "Let me go first, otherwise how will I save you."
But Gu Zhong didn't believe her and still held her feet tightly.
"Okay, okay, I'll save you. Get up and I'll take you away."
Ruan Tang continued to coax him, then bent down to help him.
When he saw Ruan Tang really coming to help him, he let go of her feet.
But before she could help him up, the men in black ran toward them with knives raised.
Ruan Tang lost her soul and wanted to leave him and run away, but Gu Zhong still refused to let go this time and hugged her arm hard, not giving her a chance to break free.
"Let me go, let go..."
"If we die together, you won't be able to live even if I die."
Even though Gu Zhong was dying, the strength and the cruelty in his eyes still made Ruan Tang's heart tremble.
Are you really going to die here tonight?
Ruan Tang watched helplessly as the men in black ran towards her, the swords in their hands pointing directly at them.
With this knife stuck in his body, the Daluo God couldn't save him even if he came.
At the critical moment, a flash of cruelty flashed in Ruan Tang's eyes, and she suddenly pulled Gu Zhong up, who was holding her, and blocked her in front of her.
With a 'pop' sound, a familiar voice exploded in Ruan Tang's ears.
It was the same sound as the metal sword blade piercing into her flesh when she was being pulled by Chu Mu to block the sword.
Gu Zhong vomited a mouthful of blood and stopped eating completely.
Ruan Tang took advantage of the situation and pushed him forward, pushing him in front of the men in black, then turned around and ran towards the other side of the ship.
The men in black made it clear that they had no intention of leaving her alive, so they caught up with her.
Just when Ruan Tang was about to be caught up.
There were a few "whoosh" sounds, the sound of arrows piercing the air. The man who was chasing her fell to the ground, followed by the few behind her.
In an instant, the men in black all fell down and stopped eating.
Ruan Tang gasped and fell softly on the board of the boat.
And then she noticed that Chu Mu was also covered in blood sitting at the door of the cabin.
He was also dying at this time, and those arrows just now should have been shot by him, because he had a pair of small sleeve arrows tied to his exposed wrist.
As for those few arrows, he had to use all his strength to shoot them.
At this time, his eyelids were drooped, as if he might die at any moment.
Ruan Tang quickly crawled to him, and when he got close to him, he discovered that there were several wounds on his body, and there was an arrow stuck in his shoulder blade, and black blood was flowing out from there.
The arrow was poisoned.
No wonder he was defeated and made to look like this.
She raised her hand and patted his face.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
However, Chu Mu just raised his eyelids slightly, unable to respond to her.
Even if he doesn't die now, he will still die when the fire reaches this place.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally put her hands through his armpits, dragging him towards the side of the boat.
But Chu Mu was tall and strong, and the stature and body shape of the two were very different. In addition, she had just experienced a life and death situation, and her whole body was still soft, so she couldn't use much strength at all.
Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, it was getting closer and closer to them.
Ruan Tang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, so he could only try his best to drag him away.
"Your Highness, if I can't save you, it will be your life. Don't blame me if you die."
Ruan Tang was dragging her around, baring his teeth and croaking.
But after a lot of effort, she finally dragged the man to the side of the boat, and a new problem arose.
He looks like this now. If he is thrown into the water, he will only sink and there will be no way to save himself.
Although she could swim, she was still dying with such a big man like him, and I was afraid she would have to be found in the water.
Don't be hacked to death with a knife or burned to death by fire, but drowned in water.
What an injustice!
It was all in vain that he had shot those few arrows to save her.
But leaving him here like this seems a bit unkind.
After hesitating for a while, Ruan Tang had no choice but to pull out a boat plank and throw it into the water, then pushed Chu Mu directly into the water, and she jumped in after him.
As soon as she got into the water, she immediately went to fish Chu Mu out. Fortunately, she didn't sink.
She put his two arms on the boat plank that had just been dropped, then untied the belt on his clothes and tied his arms to the boat plank.
After everything was done, she pushed the board and swam forward with him. She stopped when she was far away from the burning ship.
She also lay on the deck of the boat, panting.
He still didn't know how far he would have to swim to the shore. If he continued like this, Hei Bai Wuchang would come to pick him up soon, let alone saving him.
This kind of deal is not a good deal.
And even if she saved him, this man would not necessarily be grateful to her.
Maybe it was him who saved her. After all, it was his arrows that saved her, otherwise she would be a dead soul by the sword now.
And he might refuse to acknowledge her kindness to him.
"Your Highness, you are a prince, and you will definitely be a good person. Wait for me here. I will find someone to rescue you after I get ashore."
Ruan Tang weighed it for a moment and decided to leave him here. Anyway, he would not be able to drown at once while holding the driftwood.
But if he died from his injuries, it would be none of her business.
Anyway, as long as she comes ashore, she will definitely find someone to rescue him.
Chu Mu, who had already fallen into a coma, did not know that Ruan Tang rescued him from the fire boat but left him in the water.
Ruan Tang made up his mind and swam to the shore alone without thinking any more.
Without Chu Mu as a burden, she could swim much faster.
It's just that she hasn't swum for a long time. After swimming for such a long time, her physical strength will inevitably be unable to keep up. Not long after, she was out of breath again and had to slow down.
But she swam for nearly an hour and still didn't reach the shore. Plus it was night and she couldn't see how far away she was from the shore.
The more she swam, the less vigorous she became, and her feet and hands began to ache terribly.
But she didn't dare to stop and swam forward with all her willpower.
But after all, the human body cannot withstand such overdraft. Her legs began to ache, and she gradually began to become confused.
