The boat moved forward for a while, then turned at a fork in the river and headed into a tributary.

Jiang Muyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the route had indeed been changed.

After a while, the fog on the river surface gradually dissipated. Although it was still raining, it was obviously much lighter, so the ship could sail a little faster.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Muyu leaned against the window and watched the raindrops falling onto the river surface not far away, creating ripples.

She still felt a little uneasy, but also had a glimmer of hope, "In broad daylight, there shouldn't be any thieves who would be so bold, right?"

However, things did not go as planned. As soon as she finished speaking, Yunyan ran in in a panic and said, "Madam, our fleet was attacked by pirates."

"Oh my god! Whatever you fear will come true!" Jiang Muyu quickly stood up, walked to the door, walked back, and asked, "What's the situation now?"

Yunyan said, "I heard that they only stopped the last ship, and the prince has gone to deal with it."

"Nothing will happen to our ship, right?"

"I hurried here as soon as I got the news, but I'm not sure of the exact situation yet."

Jiang Muyu immediately locked the cabin door and pulled Yunyan to hide under the bed.

Yun Yan was a little confused: "My Lady, what are we hiding from?"

Jiang Muyu said: "If we go out, we might be a nuisance to others. It would be better for us to hide here. If thieves come, it won't be easy to find us."

Yun Yan said with some amusement: "Madam, it is obvious that someone lives in this room. If a thief comes in and doesn't see anyone, he will start searching immediately. At that time, under the bed is the most unsafe place."

"That's right." Jiang Muyu patted his head in frustration. "Oh, I haven't encountered such a thing before. So what do you think we should do?"

Yun Yan pulled out a sharp dagger from somewhere and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will protect you."

She almost forgot that Yunyan knew martial arts.

Jiang Muyu made a temporary mechanism. He placed a basin full of water on the door. Anyone who pushed the door open would be hit on the head. He also pulled a fishing line beside the threshold so that anyone coming in from outside would be tripped.

The master and servant hid by the door, Yun Yan was in front holding a dagger, and Jiang Muyu was behind holding a broom, in case someone broke in so they could knock him down immediately.

Jiang Muyu found that he was really good at predicting things. Not long after, he heard the sound of fighting outside.

Soon someone began banging on the door of their cabin.

The two of them were actually extremely scared and hid behind the door, holding their breath.

The door of the cabin was made of wood, which was not very sturdy to begin with. The pirates outside broke the door latch with just a few strong hits.

Someone pushed the door open and was hit by the basin of water that fell from the door. Before he could react, he was entangled by the fishing line and fell heavily to the front with a series of crackling sounds.

However, they never expected that there were not just one or two thieves coming. As soon as they knocked down one, the next one broke in. Jiang Muyu was about to hit them with her broom when the opponent grabbed the other end of the broom and she was unable to move.

Fortunately, Yun Yan quickly drew his knife and stabbed the thief directly into the chest, and the man immediately fell to the ground.

Jiang Muyu was sprayed with blood in the face, and she was completely terrified. However, before she could even recover from the shock, the third thief rushed in.

"Your Majesty, please get out of the way!" Yun Yan pushed her back and rushed forward with a dagger in her hand.

Jiang Muyu tried hard to calm himself down and stuck to the side of the boat to try not to hinder Yunyan.

Over there, Yun Yan was surrounded by two tall and strong men. As a woman, her martial arts skills were not very advanced. She just made a move and only cut one man's arm. Then, another man kicked her in the wrist, and the dagger flew out of her hand instantly.

Without weapons, Yun Yan's two fists were no match for four hands, and he was quickly defeated, with his hands and feet restrained by two big men.

While they were still not paying attention to her, Jiang Muyu slowly moved to the dagger, quickly picked it up, held it in her hand, and rushed over to stab the scarred man in the back who had his back to her.

But the opponent seemed to have eyes behind him, and he dodged nimbly at the moment she was about to stab him, then turned around and grabbed one of her wrists.

Just as the dagger was about to slip, Jiang Muyu immediately stretched out his other free hand to grab the dagger, then raised his knee and hit the scarred man's crotch.

The scarred man immediately let her go and fell to the ground in pain, holding his crotch.

Scarface had originally thought that she was just a powerless official's daughter because of her luxurious clothes, so he was not on guard and was injured by her swift knee.

Jiang Muyu didn't have time to think. Fearing that he would counterattack again, she stabbed him in the chest with the dagger. After three stabbings, he stopped moving. Her clothes were soaked with a large pool of blood.

The first man who broke in had slowed down at this moment. When he saw his companion fall to the ground, he immediately rushed towards Jiang Muyu.

Jiang Muyu was thrown to the ground by him, and her back hit the edge of the bed. She couldn't help but groan in pain.

The man did not give her a chance to repeat her old trick. He pressed her knees with his legs and held her neck with one hand. He smiled and said, "You are quite pretty. If we were not on the boat, I would have definitely done you right there."

"You're dreaming!" Jiang Muyu had difficulty breathing, and he strained his throat and spat on his face.

The man was not annoyed. He raised his hand and wiped the saliva off his face, "Tsk tsk... I like people like you who have a temper."

As he spoke, he was about to come over to kiss Jiang Muyu. She struggled desperately, and suddenly a slap landed on his face.

He was hit so hard that his head turned away, and then he pulled off the bed sheet to tie her hands.

Yunyan on the other side saw this and her eyes turned red with anxiety. She struggled with all her might to break free from the restraints, turned around quickly and kicked the man in the face. She picked up a stool next to her and smashed it hard on the man's head, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He stopped only when he stopped struggling.

Yun Yan was about to save Jiang Muyu when she heard a man screaming in pain from behind.

She turned around and saw Liang Qingchen holding a long sword, stabbing the thief in the back and directly piercing his chest.

As soon as Jiang Muyu saw him, she burst into tears and choked up, "Why did you come just now?"

Liang Qingchen grabbed the thief by the back of his collar and threw him into the corner by the wall. The man struggled for only a moment before he died.

He immediately untied the restraints on her hands, took off his outer robe and wrapped it around her body.

Jiang Muyu was in a very frightened state at this moment. The pearl hairpins on her head were crooked, and some of them had fallen away long ago. Half of her hair was scattered, her clothes were torn, her face was stained with blood, and there was a very obvious red palm print on her fair neck.

Liang Qingchen hugged her distressedly and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's okay."

Jiang Muyu buried her head in his chest, her body still shaking uncontrollably.
