He was just a silver-gray silhouette, with someone holding an umbrella for him beside him. The rain and mist made it difficult to see clearly.
The book says that the cunning Prince Jiangning never personally led raids, but always sent his deputy Yang Huan. Moreover, Yang Huan liked to show off, so that person must have been Yang Huan.
But the most dangerous thing at this time should be the ship of the Prince of Runan behind them, because the book says that Xie Xiao was shot in the back by an arrow during the battle, shot by Zhang Yun, the son of the Prince of Runan.
Li Ruo only hoped that Xie Xiao would wear the "soft armor" she had given him. When she returned from Rushui, she had left him a total of four pieces.
At this moment, Li Ruo was closer to the Prince of Runan's ship, so she ignored Sun Ergou for the time being.
Let the brothers row with all their might to get across!
Zhang Yun was horrified when he saw the ship charging towards him like a madman. "Quickly, get the archers to the left side of the ship!"
Li Ruo spoke first, "Launch a rocket!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Old Wang and the others bent their bows and fired the rockets, one after another rushing towards the Prince of Runan's ship.
Zhang Yun was completely stunned.
The fact that there are still so many rockets at this time shows that this person is extraordinary!
"Quickly, put out the fire!"
What a load of rubbish!
What kind of weird kerosene is this? The fire is so fierce.
The burning soldiers jumped into the water one by one.
Li Ruo also asked Xiao Li to throw bamboo tubes into it.
With several loud bangs, flames shot into the sky, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the ship was blasted with a hole.
Zhang Yun panicked. They didn't have many arrows to begin with, and after firing a volley haphazardly, they couldn't continue. He angrily shouted, "Are you from Black Wind Stronghold?"
Li Ruo, her face covered, said calmly, "Hehe, you're about to die, so I'm not afraid to tell you. I am Yang Huan's sister, Yang Ying, and the old flame of the Prince of Jiangning. Our prince has long wanted to annex you all. Hahaha, prepare to die!"
Extremely arrogant.
The Black Wind Stronghold brothers behind her: ...
I have nothing to say but one word: I'm impressed!
"Yang Huan's sister?" Zhang Yun was taken aback.
It is said that Yang Huan has a younger sister who is exceptionally beautiful. Rumor has it that she has an affair with the Prince of Jiangning, but very few people know about this.
So Zhang Yun believed it to some extent.
Li Ruo didn't give him a chance to think at all. As he spoke, the brothers continued to launch rockets and throw bamboo tubes.
This sudden burst of "firepower" would be difficult for even an experienced general to deal with, let alone Zhang Yun, who had never led troops before.
You, Prince of Jiangning, are trying to emulate the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?
Seeing the soldiers of the Prince of Runan's mansion trapped in the fire, jumping into the water one by one, Zhang Yun also jumped into the water to escape.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!
As he ran, he didn't forget to shout, "Prince Jiangning, you heartless coward!"
The ship was on fire, and the hull broke in half, and it was about to sink.
"Damn! A few bamboo tubes of gasoline can't possibly be that much," Li Ru thought to herself.
It looks like someone drilled a hole under the ship.
Sure enough, several Black Wind Stronghold brothers surfaced on the water. "Quick, save the boss! The boss has been swept away by the whirlpool!"
"What?!"
Li Ruo's head buzzed.
One of the brothers who was pulled out of the water said breathlessly, "The chief ordered Sun Ergou to deal with the King of Jiangning's men, and took a few of us brothers to sabotage Zhang Yun's boat. But he had already been hit by an arrow and was exhausted. The current was also strong, so he was swept away."
Li Ruo felt her heart pounding wildly.
Or have we arrived too late?
"The boss is probably in grave danger!"
"Shut up!"
Li Ruoming ordered everyone to move closer to Sun Ergou's boat, as Xie Xiao might have already boarded. They couldn't afford to panic.
Having just finished killing one wave of Jiangning King's soldiers, Sun Ergou thought another wave was coming and was about to curse when he saw them pull off their masks. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were all his own brothers.
And then there's—"Sister, sister!"
Sun Ergou's side lost more than a dozen brothers, and when they saw Li Ruo, they almost cried.
"Where's your boss?" Li Ruo asked.
"Boss—"
"Hahaha!" Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the ship of the Prince of Jiangning. It was not loud, but it was unusually clear.
There's also a chilling feeling about it.
Li Ruo turned around and saw that the person at the bow of the boat seemed to emerge from the rain and mist, wearing a fox mask on his face.
The man was tall and slender, dressed in a neat and clean silver-gray cloak, with a fair-skinned servant holding an umbrella for him behind him, and facing them directly.
"Xie Xiao has already perished at the bottom of the water, so why do you still resist stubbornly? Surrender to me, the King of Jiangning, and I guarantee you a life of luxury," the man said.
"Buried at the bottom of the water? Impossible." Ye Ling'er's face turned pale.
"The Prince of Jiangning?!"
"Is this the Prince of Jiangning?" Little Li exclaimed. "He's a defeated opponent; the boss would never die."
Li Ruo's expression hardened; he had actually encountered the real person this time.
But Li Ruo had no time for pleasantries; she had already fired two hidden arrows in quick succession.
A soft "dong! ding!" sound.
The two small arrows landed on the water one after the other, splashing up a few tiny droplets.
Wow, that's fast!
The Prince of Jiangning sheathed his sword, looked at Li Ruo, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes beneath the mask. "Your skills are impressive, young lady. May I ask your name?"
His large ship was some distance from Li Ruo's ship, so he didn't hear her conversation with Zhang Yun.
They were all shocked to see the Prince of Runan's ship suddenly catch fire and sink.
"I'm your mother!" Li Ruo coldly smiled and suddenly fired another rocket.
Although he was knocked into the water again, the rockets and bamboo tubes that followed made it impossible for the opponent to remain calm.
Amidst the shock in the eyes of the Prince of Jiangning, there was also a hint of excitement. "Good stuff!"
No wonder Zhang Yun's ship suddenly burst into flames.
And this girl... He hasn't met someone so interesting in a long time, and she's a beautiful girl too.
The small Black Wind Stronghold is surprisingly full of hidden talents.
That's truly impressive.
He was defeated by Xie Xiao in their last encounter because he underestimated his opponent. This time, he was much more cautious and ordered his soldiers to row quickly to create distance, so most of the rockets and bamboo tubes missed their target.
However, King Jiangning had only encountered Xie Xiao by chance this time, and did not bring many people. He also did not yet understand what the other party's flammable object was, so he did not engage the enemy, but instead retreated continuously while firing whistling arrows towards Qinghua Mountain.
They need to call for reinforcements!
Li Ruo wasn't sure if he was bluffing, but because she was worried about Xie Xiao's life, she said to Sun Ergou, "Don't chase! Row the boat towards General Mountain."
"Your Highness, they've escaped. Should we give chase?"
The Prince of Jiangning asked, "Are you confident?" He was just bluffing earlier. He didn't call for reinforcements. He couldn't even defeat the original crew on Sun Ergou's ship.
"Your subordinate... has none."
The Prince of Jiangning gazed into the distance, "There's plenty of time in the future."
"Xie Xiao!"
Li Ruo, along with Xiao Li Zi, Lao Wang, Ye Ling'er, and others, searched the entire ship but couldn't find him.
Ye Ling'er burst into tears, "Could Brother Xiao really have been swept away by the water? The water was so fast and so cold, he... he..."
How can we possibly get through this?
"Ergou, didn't your boss wear the soft armor I gave him? How did he get hit by an arrow?" Li Ruo asked.
Could Xie Xiao really be dead?
Doesn't he have the protagonist's halo?
