At the beginning, without any warning, a large stream of water suddenly rushed into the mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation and the body floating up and down, Lin Xiaoman, who was experienced in many battles, reacted all at once - he fell into the water!
As a newcomer, Lin Xiaoman was still in the dark and didn't know whether the original owner could swim.
Lin Xiaoman was just about to pretend to flap her arms and legs a few times to check what was happening, but before she could act, a strong arm grabbed her waist from behind, followed by another arm. Both arms exerted the power of an octopus, wrapping themselves tightly around her. It was absolutely textbook: a drowning person clinging to a piece of driftwood.
With a faint cry of "Help...", Lin Xiaoman was dragged down by the sudden heavy weight, and his whole body was submerged in the lake water, choking on a large mouthful of water.
Lin Xiaoman: Damn! You want to drown her!
If someone can't swim or is poor at swimming, he will probably fail on the spot.
In a flash, Lin Xiaoman understood the situation in front of him. It was either a hit-and-run or an assassination!
You bastard, kill him first... Okay, it's just the beginning, stay calm, don't act rashly, it would be bad if you kill a friendly soldier by mistake.
"Help come quickly! Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess fell into the water!" A panicked shout came from above the water, sounding a little vague.
If she continued to pretend to be a landlubber, she would really drown. Lin Xiaoman quickly struggled to the surface, not only herself, but also with a flick of her wrist, lifted up the guy who was clinging to her, bringing his head above the water.
If this guy wasn't a great actor, then he was a real landlubber. Apart from clinging to her instinctively out of his will to survive, he had no other reaction.
As for whether this person was a friend or foe, Lin Xiaoman couldn't tell clearly because his hair was too long and covered his face with water.
Well, even if she saw it clearly she wouldn't know who it was.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." The panicked voice sounded again.
Lin Xiaoman looked over and took a look at the surrounding environment.
It was sparkling, and it was obviously a lake, and not a natural lake. Judging from the courtyard wall not far away, it could be confirmed that this was an artificial lake in the courtyard of a wealthy family, and the water was at least 2 meters deep!
Rich people are so willful. They just dig half a meter as a token of their respect. Why dig so deep? Are they afraid that people won’t drown?
Oh, she is the crown princess!
Royal!
Maybe this is the lake in the Imperial Garden, so it is normal for it to be a little deeper.
Uh, that’s getting off topic.
The winding plank road lay quietly on the lake like a long dragon. On the plank road, there was a woman dressed in dark blue and with a high ponytail. She was probably her guard. She was obviously not a good landlubber and could only anxiously shout for help on the plank road.
After estimating the distance, Lin Xiaoman guessed that he had fallen from the plank road.
There were only two guys in sight, one was unconscious and the other should be a friendly. Lin Xiaoman paddled slowly towards the plank road, quickly reviewing the situation in front of him in his mind.
The situation before her was this: she'd guessed wrong. This wasn't the Imperial Garden, but the garden of the Yongding Marquis's mansion. The Yongding Marquis was hosting a banquet for the old marquis's sixtieth birthday, and the original owner, the Crown Princess, had come to congratulate him on behalf of the royal family. Just moments earlier, the original owner, drunk and drunk, had gone to the bathroom. On her way back to the banquet, as she passed by this lake, she heard someone shout, "The Second Young Master has fallen into the water! Help!"
The person who was shouting was standing on the plank road on the lake, and in front of the plank road, there was a figure flapping on the water, and a figure in silver-white brocade clothes could be vaguely seen.
The second young master, also dressed in white, is the second young master of the Yongding Marquis’ Mansion!
She is the original owner’s sweetheart!
When the beloved fell into the water, the original owner immediately became anxious and rushed over to save him/her.
Yes, the original owner did not fall into the lake, but jumped in by herself. The original owner could swim.
The outcome of the drowning incident was: the original owner rescued the person, but when he took a closer look, he was dumbfounded.
This man is not the second son of the Yongding Marquis’s Mansion, but the second son of the Fuguo General’s Mansion.
The original owner was a little depressed because he made a big mistake while saving someone.
Then something even more depressing happened. The General Auxiliary State claimed that his son had ruined his reputation and asked the original owner to take responsibility and ask the Empress to grant the marriage. Upon hearing the news, the original owner jumped out and strongly opposed it. Then, after a lot of chaos... the original owner was stripped of her position as the Crown Princess.
It’s a scam!
Although he only knew the current situation, since the original owner strongly opposed the marriage, Lin Xiaoman decided to drown him instead of saving him!
Lin Xiaoman pried her arms apart with force.
Hey, she seems to be a bit too strong?
Okay, be more confident and remove the "as if".
Could it be a martial arts master? As soon as this thought came to mind, the martial arts secret manual "Divine Phoenix Manual" immediately flashed through my mind.
Wow, this is truly a world where one can cultivate!
After a second of surprise, Lin Xiaoman loosened his grip, and the second son of the General's Mansion sank down. As expected, two bubbles popped out with a gurgle.
The work was completed and I was about to leave the scene to avoid being scammed when a strong sense of opposition suddenly emerged.
The original owner inside the body was struggling to get out in agitated emotions.
Huh?
The original owner actually protested!
Suppressing his emotions, Lin Xiaoman hurriedly said, "Tongzi, quickly communicate and ask the original owner what he means? Save him?"
System 666: "Master, please save me. The original owner meant to save me. This time, she will take the initiative to ask for an imperial decree to grant her marriage, completely tying the Fuguo General's Mansion to her own side."
