Chapter 155 Let our people cut off one of her legs first
"Hey, do you think Su Rongyan will... drown now?" Su Wanyan was still hugged by Ji Xiaohan, and their bodies were almost tightly pressed together. The tree trunk was not thick, and the man was even afraid that she would lose her balance, so he let the little princess sit astride his thighs. This intimate contact was too ambiguous.
However, Su Wanyan's attention was completely focused on Su Rongyan who was splashing in the water. She didn't notice it at all. She twisted her body and stretched her head to look under the tree.
Ji Xiaohan's eyes darkened, and his voice was filled with difficulty. "If Su Rongyan was alone, it would be difficult for her to be saved. However, the coachman, Lao Liu, is quite skilled, and there are people secretly protecting her. At most, she will suffer a little, but she will be able to get back on her feet."
Su Wanyan looked at the driver, Lao Liu, and said, "Alright, it's a pity that we can't kill her all at once. Let's have our men cut off one of her legs first. If she behaves well during the journey, we'll consider sparing her life."
Ji Xiaohan's purpose of taking advantage of the situation this time was not to get rid of Su Rongyan, but to clean up the killers who followed Su Rongyan secretly. In such a chaotic time, it is easiest to fish in troubled waters and clean up the garbage.
"Okay, whatever you say." When Ji Xiaohan saw the sudden change and someone rushing towards them, a cold look flashed in his eyes. He gestured for the little princess to look over and said, "Look, the fish we caught is now in sight."
Su Wanyan looked in the direction Ji Xiaohan pointed, and sure enough, she saw two men in black rushing out from the woods not far away. Faced with the road cut in half by the river, they were undecided whether they should take advantage of the opportunity to assassinate Ji Xiaohan directly, or save Su Rongyan who was about to drown.
Before they could make up their minds, Ji Xiaohan's guards had already taken action, holding short bows and pointing them at the two men in black. The arrows were smeared with poison. No matter the distance, even if they were not hit, even if the arrows scratched their skin a little, they would suffer unbearable pain and die miserably.
The men in black obviously did not expect that Prince Xiao's guards would choose to start a fight at this time. Moreover, with only two of them coming out, isn't it a bit too early to expose their weapons?
Aren’t they afraid that there are more than just two people trying to assassinate them?
But they didn't have time to think. A volley of arrows was fired, and the two men in black didn't even have a chance to get close to Su Rongyan and the other two. They fled in a panic and hid back in the woods.
Su Rongyan was still struggling in the water. Her vision was blurry and she couldn't see clearly. Her hands were grabbing randomly based on her survival instinct. She didn't know what she was grabbing. She hugged the thing regardless of anything. Then, she heard a muffled groan in her ears. She felt that the thing she was grabbing was soft and hot. Finally, she was dragged forward.
Su Rongyan knew that she was saved. Before she fainted, she felt both frightened and relieved.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity! That coachman, Lao Liu, is really capable. Su Rongyan was about to drown, yet he was able to pull her out." Su Wanyan shook her head, feeling quite regretful.
"There's only one nanny assigned to Su Rongyan. How you decide to control her will depend on your mood. Besides, Ji Mingshuo won't want a useless person with a broken leg."
