Xiao Cunyu listened carefully and immediately turned her head to look. When she saw it, she was also shocked!
We had spent a long time on the shore, and the sky was getting darker, but we could still see bubbles gurgling in the water. After a while, someone climbed out from under the water.
Especially the person in front of her, who raised his head and met her eyes, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment, and then immediately jumped onto the boat and attacked her.
Xiao Cunyu kicked the man back into the water.
However, there were actually quite a few assassins hiding under the water, all carrying hidden weapons, which they fired towards Xiao Cunyu.
This fatal thing was right in front of him, Xiao Cunyu had no time to hide his weakness and immediately drew his sword to resist.
When he struck back, the sword in his hand looked like a falling meteor, full of murderous intent. The opponent seemed very surprised. After feeling Xiao Cunyu's continuous counterattacks, he no longer wanted to fight and immediately shouted: "Retreat!"
Each one of them was like a fish in the water, turning around and diving back.
Things happened very quickly. By the time the guards on the ship who were protecting the two princes arrived, the assassins had already disappeared without a trace.
"Mr. Xiao Qilang, are you injured?" King Rui's men were a little frightened. If something happened to Xiao Qilang under their noses, they would be to blame.
Xiao Cunyu put the sword back and said, "It's okay. These little thieves are very cunning. They knew they couldn't kill me, so they turned around and ran away."
As the person involved, she could sense who the other party's murderous intent was directed at.
Prince Rui and Prince Qin are always accompanied by guards and close protection. The possibility of successfully assassinating them is extremely low, and there is no need to bother. The same goes for the two princesses. The palace maids around them take turns, so it is almost impossible for them to be left alone.
There are other gentlemen on the boat who will act on the deck. If they just want to kill people, they should have done it long ago and there is no need to wait until now.
More importantly, the hidden weapons looked very complicated. Almost in an instant, they came towards her in an overwhelming manner. This kind of thing was complicated to make and very valuable. If she was not the target, there would be no need to use all of these treasures before she made a move.
"But are they Qilangjun's enemies? Our boat has drifted to the center of the lake. The people who can follow us here must be good swimmers, and they seem to have been specially trained." The guard was a little worried.
"You are very smart, but it is better to pretend to be stupid." Xiao Cunyu patted the shoulder of the big man in front of him and said with a smile.
After saying that, he found another relatively quiet and safe place.
That's not an ordinary pirate at all.
How could pirates easily appear under the emperor's feet?
These people obey orders, are well-trained, and each of them is fully equipped. It is obvious that the master behind them must be well-off.
And they could accurately know that he was not at the table, either because they had seen him with their own eyes or someone had tipped him off.
The prince had no reason to harm her. The man just took her to a secluded place and left as a matter of course. He must have known nothing about it. But these assassins must have known the arrangements of the guards on the ship, so they boarded the ship and attacked from this place and happened to meet them.
The ways in which the second and third princesses harmed people...are hard to describe, and they would never use such direct and brutal methods, so the only ones left are the two princes.
This marriage was snatched away by Prince Rui through all means. Even if she was mean, Prince Rui would not take her life directly at the banquet he invited, so...
No need to guess.
If she died, there would be no marriage at all.
She had a good relationship with the crown prince. Once she died, the crown prince would probably vent his anger on Prince Rui, and it might even provoke a conflict between the two of them. Naturally, those who supported the king would benefit.
