Evil thoughts flashed through her mind, and Yiyun was startled. Her eyes met Ji Lingxue's dark eyes, which were clear and saw everything. Yiyun's heart was shaken, but her hands increased strength.
Ji Lingxue leaned her waist against the railing of the boat and leaned her whole body backwards. If it weren't for her strong waist strength, she would have fallen into the lake at this moment.
Ji Lingxue was not nervous. Although she was a girl in the boudoir, she was proficient in water. She just looked at Yiyun with amusement. She had an angelic face, but had such a vicious mind. They just met for the first time today, and she wanted to kill her.
Ji Lingxue said calmly: "Yiyun, do you like my prince?"
Yiyun's heart trembled when her thoughts were seen through. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly there was a sound of water splashing, murderous aura filled the air, a cold light flashed, and an arrow passed over her head.
"Ah!" Yiyun screamed in fright, and she and Ji Lingxue both fell into the lake, splashing large amounts of water.
Ding! The long arrow flew through the air and headed straight for Xiao Yichen who was sitting in the pleasure boat.
Mo Bai held the teacup and frowned, "Damn it, it's a rare opportunity for me to come out and play, but I'm disturbed!" As he said that, he threw the teacup back without looking back. There was a crisp sound of "ding", and the arrow head was deflected. The long arrow deviated from its original trajectory and stuck on the deck.
Xiao Yichen stood up, his whole body filled with murderous intent. When Yiyun went to find Ji Lingxue, he was paying attention to the situation on the bow of the boat with concern. Unexpectedly, a hidden arrow came from nowhere and scared Ji Lingxue and Yiyun so much that they fell into the lake.
"Your Highness!" The secret guards hiding behind the boat surrounded the pleasure boat, and some of them had already started fighting with the assassins.
Xiao Yichen glanced at the bubbling lake and calmly gave an order, "Pick a few of you to go down to the lake to rescue people. You don't have to surround me."
The captain of the secret guards responded and jumped into the lake with two men. Xiao Yichen didn't bring many secret guards with him on this trip. He selected three to go into the lake to rescue people, and two to deal with the assassin. There were only two secret guards left by Xiao Yichen's side.
Xiao Yichen's eyes were always on the lake, but Mo Bai leisurely picked up the empty teacup and poured another cup of tea, but his eyes swept towards Xiao Yichen intentionally or unintentionally.
Mo Bai: "Are you worried about your princess, or are you worried about Yiyun and afraid of not being able to explain yourself?"
Xiao Yichen looked at Mo Bai who seemed to be idle, "You seem to be idle, why don't you go down and save people?"
Mo Bai grinned and said, "Although I am a doctor, practicing medicine and saving lives is my job, but I am only good at saving people with needles. Being a hero saving a damsel in distress is not suitable for me." He winked at Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen snorted coldly and stepped out of the door. Several arrows shot towards him, but were all blocked by the secret guards with their swords.
Xiao Yichen stood at the bow and watched expressionlessly as the captain of the secret guards and two secret guards emerged from the water, exhaled, and then went back into the lake. His thoughts were a little drifting, and he inexplicably thought of the lotus pond in Ji Mansion, when Ji Lingxue and Ji Yuqing fell into the water together, and the guards in the mansion also searched for them for a long time.
Xiao Yichen shook his head and murmured, "Ji Lingxue, you have a conflict with water this year!"
Ji Lingxue, who was sinking to the bottom of the lake, twitched her eyelids and held back the urge to sneeze. The beautiful Evian beside her was sinking to the bottom of the lake like a dead dog.
Ji Lingxue raised her foot and kicked Yiyun, thinking: "I've seen many tricks like pushing people into the water, but I've never seen someone as arrogant as you. You should stay at the bottom of the lake and reflect on yourself."
Ji Lingxue glanced around and saw three black shadows falling into the lake. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be Xiao Yichen's men.
The secret guards' swimming skills were much better than those of Ji's servants. It didn't take long for the head of the secret guards to find Ji Lingxue floating at the bottom of the water.
The head of the secret guard swam towards Ji Lingxue faster. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Ji Lingxue seemed to be retreating. He swam for a long time but still couldn't reach Ji Lingxue.
The leader of the secret guards, who was almost out of breath, decided to give up pulling Ji Lingxue and pulled Yiyun up to swim upstream.
Ji Lingxue curled her lips. She was almost out of breath and quickly floated to the surface to exhale. The place where she emerged was covered with aquatic plants, so Xiao Yichen, who was standing on the deck and watching, did not see her.
Ji Lingxue took a deep breath and observed her surroundings. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her neck and shuddered with fright.
Ji Lingxue: Damn, there is an ambush in the water plants, we have really run into a den of thieves!
"Don't move, don't shout, the knife on your neck is very sharp!" A cold warning voice came from behind, in a low voice.
Ji Lingxue nodded honestly, "Big... Big Brother... I won't move, and you don't do anything rash either, I... I am the Princess of Chen!"
Telling yourself your identity at the critical moment can save your life.
"Haha, the one I caught is your Princess Chen. It's worth it that I spent almost three hours in the lake!"
Ji Lingxue: “…”
