son, don't mess around

Under the cover of night, several sailboats appeared on the river, gathering from all directions.

Looking from a distance, this scene is extremely shocking!
No one could have imagined that so many ships would appear on the river outside Chujiang City, right under the noses of the city defense soldiers.

On the boat, there were countless black-clad killers standing, their eyes fixed on the two figures in the center of the river.

One after another, the killing intent is approaching.

In the center of the river surrounded by boats, Lin Jiangnian's Xuanyang Heart Method was running wildly. An endless stream of majestic aura gathered around his body, and he pushed his physical condition to the limit.

Fortunately, Lin Jiang's internal strength has reached a terrifying level, otherwise he would definitely not be able to withstand such terrible consumption.

The man in black holding a spear in his sight gave him an extremely coercive and terrifying pressure.

This person's martial arts skills are definitely better than his.

Even much higher!

If Lin Jiangnian were alone and encountered such a situation tonight, he would almost certainly die.

Even though there is one more Xu Chaoge now, the situation is still critical!
"Kill him first!"

In the dark night, Lin Jiangnian and Xu Chaoge looked at each other and made a tacit decision almost at the same time.

This man must be killed first!

The two had no practice, but they cooperated very well and launched a surprise attack at the same time.

Xu Chaoge leaped up, her figure ghostly, her dark red dress revealing her whole temperament. The goose-feather knife in her hand flashed with cold light, and she went straight to the vital point of the man in black.

The man in black, holding a spear, stood on the boat on the river and stabbed out with the spear.

The spear whistled, and a terrifying aura like thunder exploded. Xu Chaoge did not dare to fight head-on. The opponent's spear was obviously more powerful than hers, and there was no chance of winning in a head-on fight.

She walked lightly, dodging the murderous intent from the spear, then changed her movements unpredictably and tried out new moves.

At the same time, Lin Jiangnian also launched a sneak attack from the other side. He snatched the long sword from a black-clad assassin and used the Nine Sword Techniques to attack the opponent.

Lin Jiangnian did not hold back at all. Sword flowers filled the sky, and sword intent ran rampant, piercing straight behind the opponent.

The man in black seemed to sense the danger behind him. He paused and thrust the spear in his hand forward with great force.

Lin Jiangnian did not retreat at all. The long sword in his hand burst out with strong light and took the opponent's shot head-on!
"boom!"

"Boom!"

The sword and the spear collided, and the collision of internal forces caused continuous explosions.

In the dark night, Lin Jiangnian was knocked back several steps by the terrifying momentum of the shot and fell heavily on a boat.

"cough!"

The pain as if his internal organs were displaced made Lin Jiangnian unable to bear it any longer and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Under this terrifying aura, the man in black was also pushed back a step. Then, another terrifying aura approached from behind.

In the corner of my eye, a dark red figure appeared in an instant.

She did not waste the key opportunity Lin Jiangnian created for her. At the moment when the two of them were clashing head-on, she took advantage of the opponent's distraction and had no time to react and quickly launched a sneak attack on Cha Nan.

This person's martial arts skills were superior to hers, and the spear in his hand was even more domineering. There was no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, and only if the two of them joined forces to launch a sneak attack would there be a glimmer of hope.

Xu Chaoge's aura reached its peak, and his figure seemed to turn into a dark red meteor. In an instant, he arrived in front of the man in black, and the goose feather knife in his hand fell.

"Humph!"

When the man in black noticed it, he was indeed caught off guard.

In a hurry, his whole body trembled violently and he raised his gun to block!

"Ding!"

As the sword and spear collided, the Yanling knife in Xu Chaoge's hand fell along the spear, and the knife brushed past the opponent's shoulder.

"Pfft."

There was a sound like a knife cutting into flesh.

With this blow, she successfully injured the opponent's shoulder.

Blood flowed.

The man in black shuddered violently, looking down at his shoulder in disbelief.

However, Xu Chaoge felt extremely regretful. The opponent's reaction was too quick. Even with such a sneak attack, it still took him time to react.

Otherwise, the knife just now would be enough to kill her!
But, there is no chance anymore!

The moment the man in black reacted, he completely ignored the wound on his shoulder, and the spear in his hand burst out with terrifying momentum and blasted out.

Xu Chaoge had no time to dodge as the enemy approached, and could only confront him head-on.

"boom!"

There was another crisp collision, and the terrifying aura made Xu Chaoge's knife almost unstable. He groaned as if he had been hit hard by a stick.

Her face turned pale, she endured the pain, tapped the ground with her toes, and used her lightness skills to quickly retreat and escape.

However, the man in black did not give her this opportunity.

It seemed that the pain from the blood on his shoulder angered him. He didn't even rush to treat the wound. At the moment Xu Chaoge retreated, he approached with a gun.

In the dark night, a terrifying atmosphere suddenly surrounded Xu Chaoge.

The man in black jumped up with a spear in his hand, and his figure appeared in the sky above the river, his eyes fixed on the retreating Xu Chaoge.

Then, he jumped from the sky with a spear in his hand and stabbed out fiercely!

"Pfft!"

The spear fell, dispersing the aura lingering around Xu Chaoge, and at the same time knocking the Yanling knife out of Xu Chaoge's hand.

Immediately afterwards, the spear pierced Xu Chaoge's shoulder.

"Humph!"

Xu Chaoge trembled violently with a groan of pain, and the piercing pain lingered in her heart. She trembled violently, her steps were shaky, and she could not stand steadily.

The internal force gathered in the body also suddenly dissipated at this moment!

Xu Chaoge’s eyes went dark, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.

Finished!

It looks like I'm really going to have to die here tonight!
The man in black in sight had a blank expression on his face and suddenly pulled back his spear!

Xu Chaoge was standing unsteadily. Seeing the black-clad assassins approaching from all sides, she used all her strength to leap into the river.

In an instant, the blood dyed the surface of the river red.

On the boat, the man in black looked at the scene coldly, without any mercy. The spear in his hand fell again, pointing directly at Xu Chaoge who fell into the river.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, as if he was locked by some terrifying sword energy.

The instinctive premonition of danger made the man in black tense up. He didn't even bother to chase Xu Chaoge in the river. He jumped up and left the spot.

"boom!"

In the next second, the ship where he had just stood was instantly torn into pieces.

The terrifying aura made the black-clothed man’s pupils shrink.

What kind of move is this?
Such terrifying power?
If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have...

The man in black focused his eyes, and at the same time, a thick smoke suddenly spread over the surface of the river, quickly covering the surrounding surface of the river.

Want to run? !
The man in black realized something and turned his head suddenly, only to see that the river surface, which had been stained red with blood from his hand after he had stabbed him, was no longer moving!
Looking around again, there was no trace of Lin Jiangnian.

The movement on the river finally attracted the attention of the Chujiang City Defense. Soon, several more ships appeared on the river and approached quickly!

"Chase!"

The man in black spoke in a low voice and had cold eyes.

"Xu Chaoge is injured. They can't run far. Chase them!"

"Tonight, they must all be killed!" "Yes!"

……

Outside Chujiang City.

The commotion on the river quickly caused commotion in the city.

The west gate of Chujiang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers. This place is remote and quiet. No one expected that there would be turmoil outside the west gate tonight.

When they heard several sails appear on the river and the sounds of fighting, the city defense soldiers finally took action.

At the same time, the news outside the city quickly spread to the city.

Jiang Mansion.

Zhiyuan stood quietly in the yard, looking up at the night sky, with no one knowing what he was thinking on his cold face.

Until suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the yard.

"Sister Zhiyuan, something bad has happened!"

A figure stumbled in.

The person who came was Jasmine, one of the pair of sisters who were taken in by Lin Jiangnian that day.

Zhiyuan's expression suddenly froze, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart: "What happened?"

"Sister Zhiyuan, today we performed a play outside the West City Gate on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But for some reason..."

"On the river, countless ships suddenly appeared, and a large number of assassins appeared from nowhere and launched an assassination attack on His Royal Highness..."

Zhiyuan's eyes fixed: "Where is His Highness?"

At this moment, Jasmine's face turned pale, and she said in panic, "By the time we reacted and went to rescue His Highness, His Highness and Princess Xu had already disappeared...Only countless damaged boats, corpses, and a river surface dyed red remained on the river..."

"Your Highness, his life or death is unknown!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhiyuan's face turned pale instantly.

A fierce murderous aura surged out of her body, and her eyes became extremely cold: "Didn't I ask you to follow His Highness? How could this happen?"

Jasmine fell to her knees with a plop, her face pale, and she said nervously, "His Highness said that he was worried that Princess Xu would find out, so he didn't let us follow..."

"Sister Zhiyuan, it's all our fault..."

Jasmine's face was pale, her voice was trembling, and her eyes were full of regret.

If they had discovered it earlier, they wouldn't have...

"Where's Lin Qingqing? Where's the prince's personal guard?!"

Zhiyuan's voice was cold and questioning.

"Sister Qingqing learned the news and has left with the Crown Prince's guards to look for support for His Highness...Sister Qingqing ordered me to come and inform Sister Zhiyuan and ask for instructions."

"Mobilize all the prince's personal guards to go out of the city to provide support!"

At this moment, Zhiyuan's face looked terribly cold.

But she did not panic to the point of losing her mind. She remained calm, took a deep breath, turned around, and quickly came to the inner courtyard and informed Mr. Jiang of the matter.

Old Master Jiang, who had fallen asleep, suddenly sat up when he heard about this, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"Who dares to assassinate Jiang Nian in Chujiang City?!"

"Zhiyuan, take my token and go to the government office immediately. Ask him to mobilize troops to go out of the city to support Jiang Nian. The sooner the better!"

"Tell him that if Jiang Nian makes any mistake, he will no longer be the prefect!"

"..."

Outside Chujiang City.

On the surface of the river, countless boats are still floating on the river.

With the arrival of government officials and city defense soldiers, the original assassin had already left, but the murderous intent on the river still did not dissipate.

Following the river all the way south, in the dark jungles on both sides of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, there are still countless figures hiding in the darkness.

We continued to follow the river southwards and arrived at a very secluded bank at the branch mouth. The surrounding area was full of weeds and thorns, blocking out the sun.

Lin Jiangnian emerged from the water and carried the dark red figure next to him ashore with difficulty.

Then he sat down on the grass next to him, breathing heavily. Lin Jiangnian's face was pale, and his strength was almost exhausted.

"We were really lucky this time. We almost died!"

Lin Jiangnian was breathing heavily, still in shock, his eyes filled with fear.

Almost there, I’ll confess tonight!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the city defense soldiers of Chujiang City finally discovered the movement on the river and the waves that suddenly rolled up on the sea level, successfully blocking everyone's sight.

In the dark night, Lin Jiangnian used up almost all his strength to escape death, dived underwater, and successfully escaped temporarily!
At this moment, he was already exhausted.

too tired!
It’s been a long time since I had such a thrilling escape!

The last time was probably in Xunyang County.

Lin Jiangnian took several deep breaths before turning his head to look at the figure next to him.

"How are you? Are you dead?"

At this moment, there was a figure lying next to Lin Jiangnian. It was Xu Chaoge who was shot.

At this moment, she was also soaked all over, and the dark red dress was clinging to her skin. Her original exquisite temperament was completely gone. Her hair was wet and messy, revealing a pale and weak face.

Her left shoulder was already stained red with blood, which was constantly flowing out. It seemed that she had lost too much blood, and her lips were pale.

"You can't die yet!"

She gritted her teeth and said unhappily.

But the voice was very weak, obviously the injury was serious.

"You're still pretty tough?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "You're already injured like this, but you're even more stubborn!"

Xu Chaoge snorted coldly and seemed to want to struggle to sit up, but his vision went dark and he fell back down again.

The wound on her left shoulder was so painful that she felt dizzy.

The injury is too serious!

He had just been shot, fell into the water, and then fled all the way. It was obvious that he was bleeding too much.

If the bleeding doesn't stop, he will probably die soon.

Lin Jiangnian reached out and pressed a few acupuncture points on her wound to stop the bleeding. But even so, it still didn't help.

The wound was too severe. The man in black had just shot her in the shoulder. Fortunately, it wasn't her heart that was stabbed, otherwise she would have died a long time ago.

But even so, her injuries are still not optimistic.

After regaining some strength, Lin Jiangnian sat up and walked to her side.

Looking at Xu Chaoge, whose face had lost all color and whose consciousness seemed to be gradually blurring, he thought for a moment and began to take off her clothes.

"You, what are you doing..."

Xu Chaoge, who was in a daze, noticed Lin Jiangnian's actions and spoke subconsciously.

"I am molesting you."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "Please cooperate!"

As he spoke, he started to pull her clothes off.

Xu Chaoge was motionless, without any strength, and could only watch.
