I have a hunch that something might have happened in the capital."
At this time, Qi Nancheng had headed north from Jianzhou City two days ago, heading towards Fencheng.
However, on the boat from Huibei City to northern Jiangsu, they were robbed and killed!
As soon as the boat sailed away from the river bank, more than twenty "common people" in coarse clothes drove all the people on the boat to the deck.
These people are not ordinary people at all, but killers!
They held their knives to the necks of the civilians, who dared not even breathe, and shouted:
"Your Highness Prince An, don't hide anymore. We know you are on this ship.
I'll count to three, and if you don't show up, I'll throw all ten of you into the river!"
After the man said this, he began to count jokingly:
“One, two…”
Before he finished counting three numbers, he heard a voice from the cabin corridor:
"It's me you want to arrest. I'm here, so you release all the people!"
The person who came was Qi Nancheng, King An.
He is known as the common people's prince. He likes to investigate the people's conditions, farm and harvest. He understands the people's sufferings best.
When the group of "common people" armed with swords and knives saw Qi Nancheng finally show up, they immediately swarmed forward and surrounded him!
The people were freed and fled everywhere!
For a moment, the deck was filled with shrill screams and cries!
Qi Nancheng's kung fu was not weak, but he was outnumbered by the other side and was soon injured.
He supported his stabbed arm, leaned exhausted against the side of the boat, looked at the dozen or so assassins surrounding him, and asked:
"Since I cannot escape death, please tell me who is trying to take my life."
He guessed that someone didn't want him to go to the north.
He also guessed a thing or two, but he refused to believe his own guesses.
The assassin leader pointed his cold sword at Qi Nancheng's neck and laughed loudly, saying:
"Your Highness Prince An, don't you have any idea who you have offended?"
After he said this, he stopped talking and stabbed Qi Nancheng with a long sword in his hand!
Qi Nancheng's arm was injured, he gritted his teeth, picked up the sword, and rushed forward!
How could he not know that the opponent's sword energy was enough to knock him away, but he refused to sit and wait for death.
Just as the two swords were about to collide, they suddenly heard a "ding" sound.
The opponent's sword was knocked to the ground with a "bang"!
Qi Nancheng's sword no longer encountered any resistance and pierced into the opponent's heart!
He was splashed in the face by the hot blood that spurted out of the man's heart.
When he reacted, he saw a woman in red already fighting with the remaining killers!
The woman moved with smooth movements and her skirt fluttered gracefully, and one killer after another fell to the ground!
This person's kung fu is better than his!
Qi Nancheng knew this, but still forced himself to join in.
But what he didn't expect was that the woman in red shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Don't make trouble, just take a rest over there!"
This person is... a man? How could such a beautiful man exist in this world?
She is even more beautiful than his ninth uncle.
Uncle Jiu is handsome, but this person has a feminine beauty!
Qi Nancheng didn't have time to think about it. He swung the long sword in his hand, barely blocking the long sword of an assassin, and said to the man in red:
"Thank you for your help, hero!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked out of the killer's encirclement by the man in red.
Outside the encirclement, there was another person who helped Qi Nancheng, who had fallen to the ground, up and said:
"Your Highness Prince An, how are you these days?"
Qi Nancheng frowned slightly, turned to look at the man, and asked:
"Do we know each other?"
The man shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know him."
Qi Nancheng didn't speak to the man anymore, but turned his head to look forward.
The remaining dozen killers were all knocked to the ground by the man in red in less than a cup of tea.
He immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and thanked the man in red again:
"Qi Nan thanks you for your kindness, may I know your name?"
The man in red waved his hand casually and said:
"Has the county lady returned to Jianzhou City now?"
Hearing this, Qi Nancheng was slightly stunned, and then asked hesitantly:
"Benefactor, do you recognize the county lady?"
That’s right, the man in red was none other than Yuan Qianchen, who was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Hanlan Yuan Yanchang.
Qianchen glanced at Qi Nancheng and said impatiently:
"Your Highness, this is quite interesting.
If I didn't recognize the county lady, why would I come to save you?"
Qi Nancheng was still worried after hearing this, so he just said:
"When I left Jianzhou City, the county lady had not yet returned. Does my benefactor have anything important to discuss with her?"
Qian Chen shook his head and said, "I can find Qi Moli. Since His Royal Highness Prince An is fine, let's say goodbye!"
After he said this, he exerted force on his feet, used his lightness skills, and flew towards the shore.
Cang He followed closely behind.
Qi Nancheng saw the two men land on the river bank and disappear into the crowd in an instant, then he remembered:
Not only is the county lady not in the capital, but her uncle is also not here. These two are probably going to come back empty-handed.
That night, the streets of Jianzhou City were brightly lit.
Today is the third day of March, Shangsi Festival, also known as Daughters' Day.
The streets are filled with flowers, lanterns, hairpins, and cosmetics for the ladies who go out for fun to enjoy and buy.
In previous years, the nights were the busiest, but tonight, there were only a few people walking on the streets.
