Chapter 503 Murder Underwater

Ning Muqing suddenly paused, arched her body and looked around, but there was nothing.

Under the dim water, nothing can be seen or heard, and the five senses are almost nonexistent.

The only thing Ning Muqing could feel now was the pressure of the water surface and the waves hitting her body layer by layer, but she knew very well that something was approaching her.

Is it that group of killers?
Ning Muqing immediately wanted to swim upstream, but she hit a layer of rough things that blocked her way up.

If I guessed correctly, this should be a fishing net.

This group of people was so well prepared that they actually wanted to catch her like a fish.

Ning Muqing's mind was racing. When the fishing net was pulled down from her head, the only way out was to go down and out again.

Soon after, Ning Muqing sped up and rushed out.

The water splashed against the face, and the face that was originally covered in ugly makeup was completely washed away, revealing a face that was originally fair and beautiful. Her skin was so white that it reflected the light of pearls under the water.

Ning Muqing couldn't care too much now and quickly dived down.

Killing a person underwater is silent, but nothing is visible above the water.

"Whispering roaring~"

The wind blew one after another on the river, the waves were one after another, and the ship was swaying in the wind.

The people on the boat were a little unsteady and had to hold on to the railing.

"Four... Young Master, please be careful." The Minister of Agriculture stabilized his body while not forgetting to support the Fourth Prince. He said loudly, "The wind is getting stronger and stronger now. Young Master should go back to the cabin to rest first! Just let us guard it.”

The fourth prince looked pale and frowned, saying, "I want to guard here."

"Master! Your..."

The boat boss suddenly noticed something and shouted, "Quick! Let's work hard together and pull the people up first!"

Several sailors threw themselves in front of the railing, put down the ladder, "Lao Yu, come up quickly."

Lao Yu below struggled to hold on to the ladder and climbed up step by step. When he climbed to the front of the ship, he was pulled together by his companions and fell to the deck. He was exhausted and gasping for air, with tears all over his face. It's the aftermath.

"Are you okay?"

Upon seeing this, the fourth prince hurried over to check on Lao Yu's physical condition.

Lao Yu shook his head. Apart from being a little exhausted, he was fine.

The boss of the boat also hurried over and asked, "Old Yu, why are you in the water?"

"Something pulled me and kept dragging me down, and it was very strong. I almost died when I was dragged down."

As he spoke, Lao Yu sat up and exposed the areas where he had been dragged. His skin was covered in bruises.

Everyone on the boat gasped and said, "Is there really a water monkey?"

"No, it's not a water monkey." The boss of the boat bent down and took a closer look, with a very ugly look on his face, "This is a man-made evil."

"Is there anyone under the water?"

"Is it a water thief?"

When the people on the boat heard this, they immediately panicked and said, "Both Xiao Jiang and Xiao Yu were dragged down! They haven't come back yet!"

"What's going on?" The fourth prince said with a livid face, "Didn't you say that these water thieves only want money and won't hurt people's lives?"

"I...I don't know either!" the ship boss said in panic, "Such a situation has never happened before. I..."

At this time, the guard guarding the river shouted, "There is blood on the river."

The fourth prince turned his head sharply and stood at the railing of the track.

The boat boss and others ignored Lao Yu and hurried over to look down from the railing.

"OMG……"

Everyone gasped.

The bright and dying light hit the river surface, and the originally white water surged, and large swaths of blood surged up. The water waves were large and washed away quickly.

The fishermen on the boat turned pale with fright, "With so much blood, it couldn't be that someone was killed, right?"

"This position seems to be where the guard jumped just now."

"Could it be that he..."

Someone with sharp eyes suddenly saw something and pointed.

"Look, there seems to be a person floating on the river."

"Maybe it's driftwood. He won't die that easily."

The fourth prince was holding on to the railing, looking very nervous. He couldn't help but look at Chu Lixuan and said, "Auntie Huang... she should be fine."

Chu Lixuan did not speak. He turned his head silently and looked at the small pontoon on the boat. He picked up the pontoon and threw it down. At the same time, he jumped and went down the river without hesitation.

This sudden move startled everyone.

"Emperor... you wait..."

The Fourth Prince was frightened out of his wits when he encountered such a dangerous situation at such a young age.

Ning Muqing didn't say anything when he entered the water. Now Chu Lixuan was silent again, and suddenly the two most important people were gone from the boat.

The situation under the water is so dangerous.

Chu Lixuan also put himself in danger!

If Chu Lixuan was as invisible as Ning Muqing, the fourth prince would not even know where he would go to find him.

However, Chu Lixuan did not give him a chance to discuss it. When the fourth prince wanted to stop it, it was already too late. He could only watch Chu Lixuan jump off the deck and return to the river.

The fourth prince was very anxious. oops!

His uncle was too impulsive. Even if he was worried about his aunt, he had to discuss it first before making any move. He couldn't make fun of his own life.

The fourth prince almost fell down after a somersault.

"Master, you must be careful!"

The Minister of Agriculture, whose heart was about to burst out of fear, grabbed the fourth prince.

The next second, the fourth prince saw Chu Lixuan landing smoothly on the boat, and at the same time, the oars moved towards the swaying figure with great force.

"so far so good."

The fourth prince breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

The official from the Ministry of Agriculture next to him was full of surprise, "I didn't expect that the young master would have such a person by his side. His skills and light skills are top-notch."

"That's what I carefully selected. How bad can it be?"

No wonder he dared to jump directly. It turned out that he had been prepared for it.

The fourth prince almost thought that Chu Lixuan thought that Ning Muqing was gone, so he went down in excitement.

Oh my God.

Fortunately, their uncle didn't get carried away and threw a boat into the river before jumping into the river.

Chu Lixuan looked at the direction of the corpse and rowed over. He grabbed the corpse before it was swept away by the river, and then returned the same way.

No ropes are needed, just get on the boat easily.

"Pfft."

Soggy bodies were dumped on the deck.

The fourth prince hurriedly came over and looked left and right, "Are you okay?"

"Are these the people on your ship?" Chu Lixuan ignored the fourth prince, pointed at the corpse on the ship, and asked.

The boss of the ship hurriedly came over, checked and shook his head, "No!"

"Is this person the one who hides under the water and makes a sneak attack?"

The fourth prince had a solemn face and winked at the guard next to him.

The guard hurried forward and checked the body up and down. Blood was still flowing out from the wounds on the man in black, staining the deck.

"Master, there are two wounds on this man's body. One is on his arm, and the other is a direct hit to the heart. Now he has lost all his blood and died."

The guards will report after checking.

"I guess he died not long ago."

The temperature of the river water is very low. If a person dies on the river surface, he will quickly lose temperature, and then his body will become stiff. However, the man's body still has residual warmth, and his death time should be about one stick of incense.

The fourth prince lowered his voice and said, "Did she kill him?"

"Ah."

Chu Lixuan's eyes were serious and he said coldly, "Check to see if there is anything on him that can prove his identity."

Just as the guards were about to take action, Chu Lixuan's eyes suddenly fell on the river. He asked, "How long has she been down there?"

"A quarter of an hour." The fourth prince looked very unhappy when he answered.

Chu Lixuan's face darkened slightly, "Why haven't you come up yet? Why are you still lingering under the water?"

"Maybe it's not that she doesn't want to come up, but that she's being entangled and unable to come up."

The fourth prince trembled and pointed at the corpse on the boat.

There is no need for the fourth prince to say this, Chu Lixuan is also very clear in his heart.

This corpse did not appear out of thin air, but the current situation on the river was very windy and the water was turbulent and turbid. The fourth prince did not bring any bodyguards who knew how to handle water on this trip, so the sailors on the ship would die if they went down.

Moreover, of the seven people who went down, only two have come up so far, and the rest will definitely not dare to go down.

Ning Muqing went down to the river alone, which meant she was completely helpless.

The fourth prince was afraid that Chu Lixuan would be impulsive, so he whispered, "Uncle, you must not go down. An aunt has already gone down. You are the leader. If you follow, we will be leaderless."

"Do you need to remind me?" Chu Lixuan said coldly.

Fortunately, he and Ning Muqing still share the same knowledge and feelings at this time.

Chu Lixuan knew through the body's induction that Ning Muqing was not in danger, so he felt a little relieved.

Damn!

Why is he so worried about that woman!

The restless flame in my heart could not be suppressed no matter what. It was so hot that I just hoped that she would come up quickly.

The man frowned, his expression extremely cold in the flickering firelight.

"Master." The guard guarding the boat suddenly exclaimed, "Look, what is that?"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the direction of his voice.

at the same time.

Ning Muqing could already feel a vague tightness in her chest.

Time doesn't flow in the water. Fortunately, Ning Muqing can count with her pulse. She knows that quarter of an hour is almost here. It's a small matter to waste time like this, but it's a big deal to lose her physical strength.

Ning Muqing had a sullen face, kicked her legs again, and swam quickly.
