The river was rushing, and the sound of the water was particularly harsh at this moment.
It turned out that they had already arrived at the river.
This river is just a tributary of the big river. The water level is not that high, but the turbulence of the river is comparable to that of the big river.
A sharp look flashed across Xia Yuning's eyes, and the hem of her skirt was already wet by the splashing river water.
Bai Zhirou didn't see any response from her for a long time, so she turned around to look, but she didn't expect to see Xia Yuning's panicked face.
Xia Yuning pounced straight towards Bai Zhirou in a tricky and weird posture!
"Princess!" Mingcui screamed in fright at the sudden scene.
With a "plop", Bai Zhirou was knocked into the river, and the splashing water was instantly submerged by the river water. The river water suddenly poured into her mouth, choking her and causing her to cough continuously.
A tree in the water hit her leg, causing her to jerk.
She just clearly saw the murderous intent in Xia Yuning's eyes!
"Princess!" Ming Cui couldn't swim and could only stand by the river anxiously, "Xia Yuning, why did you push the princess into the river!"
"I, I didn't. I didn't mean it!" Xia Yuning hid the murderous intent in her eyes very well and fell to the ground pretending to be at a loss.
While the two were arguing, a gust of wind suddenly passed by their ears. When Xia Yuning looked again, she only saw a piece of white clothing.
With a "plop", Shen Zhao jumped into the river without hesitation.
He was well versed in water and swam hard towards Bai Zhirou.
The river was so fast-flowing that she had no chance to breathe.
Even though she was a swimming champion, she couldn't really fight in the river.
"Help, help!" Bai Zhirou finally surfaced and shouted for help, but the muddy water suddenly rushed into her mouth again.
In a panic, a strong hand grabbed her arm, passed through her armpit and hooked her upper body.
She was like a small boat that was pushed around by the fierce river and suddenly found a place to rest.
She suddenly realized that someone had saved her, and when she opened her eyes, she found it was Shen Zhao.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here and I won't let you get hurt!" Shen Zhao said.
Bai Zhirou nodded gratefully at him.
Chen Zhao was swimming hard in the river holding Bai Zhirou. When he was about to reach the shore, he suddenly felt a pain in his leg and his whole body froze.
Bai Zhirou keenly noticed the blood color diluted by the river water. She quickly opened the map panel and found a small gray dot overlapping with the two people!
There is a killer hiding in this river!
Bai Zhirou took a deep breath and dived down, grabbing her hands in the water randomly, and she actually caught a hand.
She kicked the man in the chest and he floated up again.
After she had taken a lot of heat off her in the water, the man came up to her again.
A short dagger suddenly appeared in Bai Zhirou's hand and she stabbed the person fiercely!
The man seemed to have not expected that Bai Zhirou would carry a dagger with her, and he barely dodged it.
He kicked Bai Zhirou in the heart fiercely again!
Bai Zhirou was kicked backwards by him, and her breath holding had reached its limit.
While the two were fighting underwater, they had already reached the point where the small river merged into the big river.
The water level here is higher and the water is more turbulent.
The height difference forms a constantly swirling water flow. If a person is washed here, it would be difficult to stand up for a while.
Bai Zhirou realized this and quickly grabbed Chen Zhao's arm and swam hard to the side. There happened to be a big tree fallen here, which gave the two of them a glimmer of hope.
Chen Zhao was injured, his face turned pale, and his legs seemed to be losing strength.
Fortunately, there were yamen runners waiting on the shore at this time, and they worked together to rescue the two men.
Before he could catch his breath, Bai Zhirou told him about Shen Zhao's condition, and the yamen runners quickly bandaged him.
"Sister Zhirou, luckily you're okay!" Before she could finish the last word, Xia Yuning was slapped hard in the face!
She looked at Bai Zhirou, who was soaking wet and pale, in disbelief. Her heart began to beat wildly when she met Bai Zhirou's deep and fierce eyes.
"You'd better pray that Chen Zhao is okay! Otherwise, this princess will cut you into pieces!" Bai Zhirou pinched Xia Yuning's chin, "That person underwater was sent by you to kill me, right?"
Xia Yuning's pupils suddenly shrank, and she continued to argue, but Bai Zhirou didn't believe a word she said.
"There is another assassin underwater! This princess personally offers a reward of one thousand taels! If anyone catches him, the one thousand taels will be his!" Bai Zhirou said, looking at the group of yamen runners in front of her.
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward, and soon one after another, the yamen runners jumped into the river.
Some people also went below the river.
Xia Yuning's face gradually turned pale.
The Third Prince rushed over as soon as he heard the news, and frowned when he saw that his leg was simply bandaged.
Bai Zhirou planned to take Chen Zhao back to see a doctor for treatment, so she and the third prince each took one arm and carried him onto the carriage.
"Zhirou, wasn't I awesome just now?" Shen Zhao's eyes were blurry, and even the mud and sand on his face couldn't block the brilliance of his bright eyes.
Bai Zhirou was amused by his words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The carriage sped along, the sun was high in the sky, illuminating the earth with bright light.
Fortunately, Shen Zhao received timely treatment. The wound on his leg was ten centimeters long and deep enough to see the bone.
The Third Prince looked terribly gloomy, and the Crown Prince rushed over as soon as he got the news.
When they learned that the assassination attempt had been made underwater, they offered a large reward.
The assassin's worth suddenly jumped from one thousand taels to twenty thousand taels!
Princess Rong and others also rushed over, and the whole room was blocked by a crowd of people.
The prince drove everyone out.
Bai Zhirou looked at Xia Yuning, who was sobbing fearfully in Princess Rong's arms, sneered, and told her everything.
"Xia Yuning, you actually used such despicable means to kill me? And even involved Chen Zhao?" Bai Zhirou went straight to the point. When these words came out, everyone present was shocked!
"Bai Zhirou! You need evidence to support your words! Our Yuning is the kindest person!" Princess Rong knew that Xia Yuning had used the wrong method out of haste.
"Wait until we catch them red-handed! Princess Rong, I wonder how you can protect Xia Yuning!" Bai Zhirou glared at Princess Rong fiercely, like a beast ready to pounce.
"We're all family, why kill each other? Zhirou, don't be angry. Yu Ning also said that she didn't mean to push you away."
"Besides, you're not injured, are you?"
Prince Rong is good at playing the peacemaker. Before Bai Zhirou's life is in danger, he is happy to see Bai Zhirou say the wrong things and do the wrong things in public.
"Once the assassin is caught, everything will be revealed!" Bai Zhirou said coldly and turned into the room.
Shen Zhao was treated, but the river water contained a lot of mud and dirt, which could easily cause a fever once it entered the wound.
