White Fence Dream

Chapter 234 Suddenly
Blood spread across the stern.

At the same time, more people like black fish jumped onto the deck from the side of the boat.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air rang out densely. The unprepared boatman, the yawning servants who walked by, and the guards who were chatting and laughing were all hit in an instant and either fell to the ground or fell into the river.

"There is an assassin—"

There were shouts from the boat.

At the same time, the sound of swords clashing was heard. The guards on the ship reacted and chopped down the sneaking enemies with their swords. The guards on the third floor also raised their bows and crossbows.

Buzz buzz buzz, accompanied by sharp sounds of breaking through the air, many black figures fell into the river.

It all happens in the blink of an eye.

Screams, cries, and sounds of fighting broke the silence of the early morning.

"Enter the cabin—"

"Hurry up—"

The panicked boatmen tried to hide in the cabin, but they heard more shouts.

"The boat is leaking—"

"Get off the boat—"

The people sleeping in the cabin were awakened and rushed out in a hurry.

There was a steady stream of men in black emerging from the river.

Swords, spears and arrows were flying everywhere, creating a chaotic mess.

At the beginning of the chaos, Zhou Jingyun pulled Bai Li and ran under the boat. Fortunately, the attack started from the other side, and Jiang Yun also noticed something was wrong and ran over from a distance to protect them.

"Soldiers! There are soldiers over there!" Zhou Jingyun shouted.

The soldiers had already passed by on the main road, but they had not gone far yet. A loud shout would alarm them.

"You go tell them—" Bai Li said, "I'll go pick up Nannan and Madam Zhuang—"

It's too dangerous! These people are obviously well prepared, but Bai Li will not abandon Nannan Madam Zhuang——

"I'll go find them!" Zhou Jingyun said, "You leave first!"

But Bai Li shook his head. "I can make them invisible! Zhou Jingyun, get out of the way--"

After saying that, she broke free from him and ran towards the ship.

"Prince, I'll follow her!" Jiang Yun shouted, following Bai Li.

Zhou Jingyun wanted to follow them, but he knew his skills and would only cause more trouble. Looking at the people fighting on the ship, their movements suddenly became stagnant and his vision began to blur. Only the figure of the woman was clear and swiftly shuttled through the chaos.

This is her ability to make people enter a fantasy.

Yes, Shen Qing is also on the ship.

They also have skills that ordinary people don't have!
What he needs to do now is to quickly find help and alert the officers and soldiers!
Zhou Jingyun withdrew his gaze and ran towards the road ahead.

"Someone come quickly——"

"There is a thief committing a crime—"

"I am Zhou Jingyun, Zhou Jingyun from Dongyang Marquis Mansion—"

Just now, a soldier passed by and there were no pedestrians on the road. At this time, his voice echoed, causing the officers and soldiers in front to look back.

"Which general in the Beijing camp are you under?" Zhou Jingyun shouted and waved, "Come quickly——"

The officers and soldiers looked at him motionlessly.

Were they also pulled into the illusion? That shouldn't be the case. They were too far away. Zhou Jingyun had a flash of thought and was about to shout again when a group of more than a dozen soldiers suddenly rushed out from the side.

"Prince Zhou!"

"You found the deserter?!"

"The deserters are on the ship!"

"Come here, quickly catch the deserter——"

Accompanied by shouts, the leading officer waved his hand and rushed towards the dock with a dozen people.

Oh no! Zhou Jingyun felt cold all over as he stood on the road, and suddenly he understood something.

Soldiers and officers suddenly passed by early in the morning.

The road was cleared and under martial law.

The long-proclaimed arrest of deserters.

all fake.

Their target was the ship.

Who is so bold? How dare he mobilize soldiers to kill the King of Chu's property in broad daylight? !
Zhou Jingyun turned around and was about to run back, but it was too late.

The horses behind him were galloping, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people rushed over.

"Captain! The deserters on the ship are killing people!"

"Damn you thieves! How could they be so vicious! Come, kill these deserters without mercy!"

Listening to the shouting one after another, Zhou Jingyun's face turned pale, and three soldiers on horseback surrounded him.

The captain said with a half-smile: "Protect the prince and don't let him be harmed by the thieves!"

Zhou Jingyun looked at him: "What a bold thief, do you know what you are doing!"

The captain laughed: "Don't worry, my lord. We will never let these thieves go! We will not let the people die in vain!"

This person's answer was irrelevant. Zhou Jingyun understood that they would definitely not let the people on the ship go, and there must be deserters who were caught in the end. The people who died on the ship were all slaughtered by the deserters...

Vicious! Who is so vicious! Zhou Jingyun looked at the ship. More than a dozen soldiers had already formed a battle formation, holding bows and crossbows, blocking the view...

"Captain, look at the ship, there seems to be something strange!"

A soldier walking in front suddenly shouted.

What's so strange? The captain looked over and saw people everywhere on the ship, who seemed to be fighting, running, and shouting...

It seems so because of the scene at first glance, but in fact, the swords did not stab each other, there was no movement, no shouting, only movement...

It's like a painting.

"What are you doing!" The captain's hair stood on end for no reason. He subconsciously raised the crossbow in his hand and shot an arrow out.

He had outstanding arm strength, and since the people on the boat were motionless, he was able to accurately shoot one person from such a long distance.

The man let out a shout and fell from the bow into the river, struggling and shouting in the water, which moved the picture.

"Shoot, shoot!" the captain shouted, urging his horse forward.

The other soldiers also drew their bows and shot arrows. But as they moved forward, their movements became slower and slower, until they held the bows and stopped pulling, with only ferocity or ecstasy on their faces, as if their arrows never missed their targets...

Seeing this scene where Zhou Jingyun was surrounded by three soldiers, he thought of something and breathed a sigh of relief.

The three soldiers also saw it and looked puzzled. One of them urged his horse forward to ask, but as soon as he pulled the reins, the horse and the man froze. The next moment, the other two, including Zhou Jingyun, also froze.

Arrows were flying in front of my eyes.

The soldiers' laughter could be heard in my ears.

Zhou Jingyun looked at the scene in front of him. Countless people were fighting on the ship. Some people fell down and fell into the river. Maids and servants were running around. Some maids were holding wine jugs and smashing at the men in black. Some men in black were hit and blood splattered on their heads...

Zhou Jingyun ran towards the ship, but was stopped by a soldier. He turned around and swung his hand, revealing a long sword. The soldier was caught off guard and was stabbed in the arm. He fell to the ground with a wail.

Zhou Jingyun ignored everyone and ran towards the ship. An arrow came from behind and flew past his ear.

"Go to hell, all of you!" the captain shouted wildly behind him.

Zhou Jingyun didn't look back. He raised his sword and stabbed away a man in black, anxiously looking for Bai Li's figure.

I can’t see Bai Li, or Madam Zhuang, or Nannan…

Where is it!

Is everything okay?

"The ship is sinking—"

Suddenly there were loud shouts. Zhou Jingyun looked over and saw that the originally tall ship had tilted at some point.

People kept jumping off the ship, splashing water in the Jinshui River. As the ship capsized completely, huge waves of the river rushed towards the shore.

Zhou Jingyun suffocated instantly. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes again. He saw that there were no huge waves and he was still standing in the same place.

The soldiers around him also let out a low cry and waved their hands left and right in panic, as if trying to block something. The soldiers in front of them were also in chaos, looking at the bows and arrows in their hands and looking at the front. There were no piles of dead bodies, and their quivers were almost full...

"what happened?"

"Didn't I just rush over?"

The captain was even more shocked. What happened? There was no fighting just now? Wasn't it a waste?
"Hurry up!" he shouted, throwing down his crossbow, drawing his sword, and urging his horse to charge forward.

There was a shout: "The ship is sinking--"

As the shouting sounded, the ship, which had already been submerged one layer in the water, slowly tilted, and the people who were trapped on it also fell over, and shouts were heard everywhere in an instant.

Some people were caught off guard and lost control and fell off the boat, while others rushed to the shore in panic. The sounds of swords, fighting, and falling into the water were accompanied by the sound of the boat completely falling into the river, with a thunderous noise.

With such a big commotion, all the large and small boats on the Jinshui River slowly sailed towards this side.

At the same time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard on the road, and more people and horses were galloping towards them.

"The Jinwu Guards are hunting down the murderer!"

Zhou Jingyun looked up and saw a team of Jinwu Guards rushing over, led by Li Yu.

More than a dozen boats gathered on the river from all directions.

The soldiers in charge of martial law on the main road were obviously in a panic, and the soldiers around Zhou Jingyun even ran to the captain.

"What about the captain?"

The captain looked at the chaotic crowd in the lake at the dock ahead. The men in black and the people on the ship were still fighting, but it didn't make much sense anymore.

He cursed and muttered, "How come the fighting lasted only a blink of an eye?"

As a result, time was wasted!

The purpose of this matter was to catch the other party off guard.

Now the other party has reacted.

The captain waved his knife and said, "Go and catch the deserter!"

The guards here hadn't moved yet, but someone nearby had already rushed over. It was Zhou Jingyun, but they couldn't care less about him now.

……

……

"Mrs. Zhuang!"

Zhou Jingyun looked at Huang Ru getting off a small boat and hurried over to meet her.

Huang Ru had already changed her wet clothes, but her face was still pale.

"I'm fine, I didn't fall, I stepped on the window, and the boat arrived in time, so only my clothes were wet," she said soothingly.

Zhou Jingyun looked behind her and saw the wet nurse walking out, unharmed.

Just no white hedges in sight.

"Where's Ah Li?" he asked.

Mrs. Zhuang looked worried and shook her head: "I didn't see her."

The nurse said, "Nannan and Mr. Shen didn't see it either."

Li Yu rushed over from the side, looking anxious: "I've searched everywhere, but I can't find her and Nannan."

Zhou Jingyun looked at him. There was something he didn't want to say, but...

"Have you looked at the bodies?" he said in a hoarse voice.

Li Yu's face turned pale instantly. He opened his mouth to say something, but turned around and ran away without saying anything.

Zhou Jingyun looked towards the Jinshui River and saw that the last corner of the roof of the ship was also swallowed up by the river water.

……

……

Even though the weather was quite hot, it was still a bit cold when I suddenly got out of the river after soaking in it for so long.

Bai Li hugged his shoulders and shivered, listening to the sound of water behind him. He saw Shen Qing paddling towards the shore with one hand and holding a baby in the other hand. The baby was wrapped in an outer robe that was only slightly wet.

Bai Li quickly reached out to take the child, but because she was wet, she did not continue to hold the child and put him on the grass.

The child was sleeping soundly with his head tilted.

"You seem to be carefree." Bai Li said. He felt no sound of water behind him. He turned around and saw Shen Qing still in the water.

"You're out of strength?" She said, and stretched out her hand. "For the sake of fighting the enemy together, let me give you a hand."

Shen Qing snorted coldly, ignored her hand, and climbed ashore with his own hands.

Bai Li was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes froze and he looked towards Shen Qing.

His robe was also soaked, but the blue robe was stained with patches of bright red, the brightest patch of red was on his chest.

There was an arrow stuck in his chest.
