On the other side, Xiao Tuo saw that Zi'an had knocked down two people, and he suddenly became murderous, and every move he made was fatal. His desire to win triggered his explosive power, which was even more fierce than usual.
The two killers were trapped, which naturally attracted other people to rescue them.
Zi'an took advantage of the opportunity, ran to the right wing, somersaulted in the air, and tried to cut the rope of the lifeboat.
But the two killers caught up with him, and Zi'an was left with only his legs hooked on the boat pole. She cut off one side, and the boat hung down, with only one side left to tie. Zi'an flew over, grabbed the reins on the other side, and his body and the boat swayed along the side of the boat.
Xiao Tuo also got rid of the killer and ran over. Several people were chasing him. He jumped hard and cut the reins on the other side. Zi'an fell into the water with the lifeboat.
Zi'an is an excellent swimmer. After entering the water, he immediately floated up, swam to the lifeboat and climbed on.
She unpacked the salt jar and checked the pills. Fortunately, they were packed very tightly and the salt jar was well sealed, so no water got into it.
Xiao Tuo also climbed up. He untied the oars tied to the side of the boat and paddled hard, panting and saying, "I don't know who sent these killers, but they are obviously not the last batch. Xia Zian, we may not be able to return alive."
Zi'an looked at the vast sea, pointed forward, and his heart sank. "There are a few ships over there, no, a dozen, no, dozens."
Xiao Tuo stopped and looked in the direction of Zi'an's finger. There were many ships heading in their direction. He sneered, "Okay, let's die. Let's go for it."
A fast arrow flew from behind and hit the salt jar with a whoosh. The arrow head was on fire and the salt jar was broken and burned.
Zi'an said angrily, "All the hard work of the past few days has been wasted."
"Let's run!" Xiao Tuo pulled Zi'an and jumped into the sea before a row of rockets arrived.
The rockets sank into the water and went out one after another. The two men did not dare to float up, so they swam hard in the water, quickly surfaced to take a breath, and continued to sink into the sea.
The waves were huge, pushing them forward. They didn't know which direction they were swimming. The rockets behind them were chasing them relentlessly. Finally, when she came up to the surface to breathe, Zi'an was shot in the arm. Her hand lost strength, and she could not paddle, so she sank.
Xiao Tuo dragged her forward under the water, the sea water behind him turned red, and Xiao Tuo was extremely anxious. The killers behind him were still chasing him, but it was obvious that they had run out of arrows, so they jumped into the water and chased after him.
The two of them gasped for air. Zi'an endured the pain and said, "Xiao Tuo, don't worry about me. Run for your life. Go back and tell the prince the formula for the antidote. Ask him to send someone to Madman Island to get it."
"Shut up, since we came here together, we have to go back together." Xiao Tuo said in a rough voice.
Zi'an's body sank slightly, "No, if you take me with you, both of us will die here, and then the zombie disease cannot be cured. You run away and let me go. The important thing is more important."
Seeing her struggling to get away, Xiao Tuo was so angry that he wanted to knock her out, "Shut up."
Zi'an looked back and saw that the vicious killer was almost catching up with her, and the boat in front was approaching soon. She knew that her life was in danger, so she sniffed and felt like crying. Murong Jie, I miss you.
She raised her hand and turned the Soul-Snatching Ring, releasing energy. The energy formed a vortex. She used all her strength to kick Xiao Tuo away and said quickly: "Tell Murong Jie that I like him!"
Her body was quickly swept down by the whirlpool. The huge force made her dizzy. She relaxed her body and let the whirlpool carry her away.
Xiao Tuo steadied himself and she disappeared, and he screamed in fear, "Xia Zian, Xia Zian!"
But in the vast ocean, where could Xia Zian be found
With assassins chasing after him, Xiao Tuo had no way of going back to find Zi'an and could only swim forward desperately, hoping to return alive and tell the prince the secret recipe for curing zombie disease.
Without Zi'an as a restraint, he swam very fast and left the killer behind him.
However, the boat in front was approaching and he had no strength in his arms. He saw people on the boat jumping into the water and dozens of people swimming towards him.
He heard those people yelling, "The ones behind are assassins, quickly catch them, and the rest of you go and rescue Doctor Xia and General Xiao Tuo."
Xiao Tuo felt relieved. He was being held by two people. He stuck his head out of the water and grabbed the man's collar. "Quick, go save Xia Zian. She's sinking."
Dozens of people dived into the water like fish, but no one caught the killers.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the killer fled in a hurry.
—I am the dividing line of the tragic salt pot that caught fire—
In the prime minister's residence.
"Madam, Xia Zian and Yao Wan sank to the bottom of the sea together, and Xiao Tuo was rescued."
After hearing the report from the visitor, the old lady smiled happily and ordered Cuiyu to take out the banknotes. "Thank you, all the heroes. This is the balance. Please count it."
The visitor nodded and said calmly, "Three of us died this time, so please give us some compensation as appropriate, old lady."
The old lady laughed grimly, "As you should, as you should."
She was happier than anything else when Xia Zian died and the pills were lost. Money is just a worldly possession.
She then ordered Aunt Cuiyu to fetch three thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to the visitor, "Please send your regards to the families of the dead and injured. I feel so sad for them."
"This is a risky business. There's nothing to regret. The money is enough." The man took the banknote and turned away expressionlessly.
The old lady came to Prime Minister Xia's room. Prime Minister Xia was lying on the bed. When he saw her coming in, he propped up half of his body and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is it?"
"It worked. Your daughter is dead." The old lady said, slowly sitting down and taking a long breath. "Finally, she is dead."
Prime Minister Xia felt a strange emotion in his heart, but it soon turned into a hearty pleasure. "Finally dead? I can't believe it, she's finally dead!"
A trace of viciousness flashed in the old lady's eyes. "Yes, it's not easy. Only if she dies can my Xia family survive. It's time for you to meet with Liang Taifu and tell him that if he still wants to mess up the capital, he should cooperate with us obediently. First, keep your position as prime minister. Second, let the Ministry of Revenue allocate funds to rebuild the prime minister's residence."
Taifu Liang came to the Prime Minister's residence in person and discussed with the old lady and Prime Minister Xia for an hour.
After Prime Minister Xia left, the old lady told Cuiyu, "Bring the man here. I want to tell him a few things."
Late at night, a nun was brought into the mansion. She was the nun from the Stone Temple.
She was wearing a cloak that covered her head and face, and Aunt Cuiyu took her into the old lady's room.
After Aunt Cuiyu took her in, she walked out.
After the nun entered, she stood straight, neither bowing nor speaking.
The old lady said, "You did a good job. Although the Regent King arrested more than a dozen people that day, you managed to transfer most of them. This is a reward for you. After you go back tonight, continue to release people. I want to make this capital city in chaos."
The nun came up step by step, and suddenly she dropped her cloak, revealing her blood-red eyes.
The old lady took a step back in shock and shrieked, "You..."
The nun rushed forward, and her shrill voice echoed in the dark night.
In the tall building opposite the prime minister's residence, there was a man standing quietly, listening to the screams.
"Your Highness, I think we have succeeded." Ni Rong said softly.
