Shuang Xu sat beside her, propping up his face to watch the flickering lights on the lake.
In the distance, a huge and magnificent pleasure boat was floating quietly on the water, and vague human figures could be seen.
As usual, Shuang Xu looked around and fixed his eyes on the dark place for a moment. After confirming something, he leaned over to Sui Zhao's ear and said, "Miss, there is a boat at the east corner of the lake. There are at least two people on the boat."
Sui Zhao thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Let's stay away and let Huai Xu and the others watch from the dark."
"Yes." Shuang Xu asked the secret guard disguised as a boatman to row away. After meeting another small boat, he gave instructions to the secret guard on the boat and then took action underwater.
When contacting, Huai Xu said, "There are people underwater. Our people accidentally ran into them. After a brief exchange, we found that they are well-trained and good at hiding. We are unable to determine who they are for the time being."
Sui Zhao withdrew his gaze from the distant pleasure boat and said, "Let's go ashore first and find out more."
"Yes." Huai Xu turned his head to look at the person next to him, who dived into the water.
The boat Sui Zhao was on was approaching the shore.
A man emerged from the water beside the boat at the corner of the lake and said to the boat: "Sir, there are other people in the water. We just ran into them and failed to capture them after fighting. Do you want to change your plan?"
"Act according to the plan. What's the situation on the pleasure boat?" The man called "Sir" spoke in a low and cold voice.
"No news has come yet."
"wait."
"Yes." The man went into the water again.
As I was rowing, I saw other boats heading for the shore, and after a while, some people emerged from the water.
Shuang Xu leaned forward to block Sui Zhao, and the boatman had already put his hands on his waist.
But the man just said: "There will be trouble on the lake, please go ashore to avoid being affected."
Sui Zhao looked at him for a moment, and without hesitation, he said to the boatman, "Hurry up."
"good."
After getting a little further away, Shuang Xu said, "It should be the person hiding in the water earlier."
Sui Zhao nodded, "Since they drove away the other ships, they don't seem to be bad people."
As the boat passed by the pleasure boat, a fire broke out in the restaurant facing the lake. The fire suddenly grew bigger and screams arose. At the same time, a black shadow jumped off the pleasure boat and landed in the water right in front of Sui Zhao.
There was chaos on the pleasure boat, and then arrows were shot out densely.
"Catch him!"
"Shoot! Kill without mercy!"
Several dark figures jumped out from the water, blocking the arrows with knives.
Shuang Xu acted decisively and violently lifted up a piece of the boat board to block the direction of the arrow. The boatman increased the speed of rowing, and someone under the water also pushed the boat.
Shuang Xu used the light of the fire and the lamp to observe the people emerging from the water and said, "Miss, half of them are not ours. They are protecting us together."
The weapons are different.
"Go to shore first."
After the volley of arrows, someone on the pleasure boat jumped into the water.
On the shore, Shang Xu landed beside Yan Tinglan who was holding Zhu Fuli's hand and said, "Master, the people on the pleasure boat are Ye Kang, the governor of Yangzhou, and his accomplices, who are conspiring to take bribes. The other party is the Mingchasi, and the new commander of the Mingchasi is thinking about the danger in action."
"Also, the fire in the restaurant is being investigated, and the others have gone to the Water Dragon Office to mobilize troops."
"Let Huai Xu bring her back safely." Yan Tinglan looked cold.
"yes!"
After Shang Xu left, Yan Tinglan embraced Zhu Fuli, who looked worried, and said, "Don't worry, An An will be fine."
"Um."
At the corner of the lake, a dark figure emerged from the water again, "Sir, the spies have landed."
"Get on the pleasure boat." The people on the boat jumped out, stepped on the lanterns on the lake with their toes, and flew towards the pleasure boat.
Heavy arrows were shot into the cabin, and the boat was already sinking into the water. The boatman said, "Your Highness, we need to abandon the boat."
