PFC Chapter 470: Prayer Night Assassination
Chapter 470: Prayer Night Assassination
The surrounding people were frightened and screamed in panic.
After the pleasure boat exploded, many people on board fell into the lake.
The pleasure boat was engulfed in flames, illuminating the people fleeing on the river.
The nearby pleasure boats were also affected and many people fell into the river, but not everyone could swim, and many cries for help were heard from the river.
Just at this moment, a group of men in black armed with knives suddenly emerged from the crowd on the shore, scaring the crowd so much that they fled in all directions, screaming in fear, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"I'll go to the river to save people first!" Jiang Ningwan didn't care about anything else and jumped into the river with his lightness skills.
Qin Shuangchi followed closely and rushed into the river to save people.
Qin Huaizhao rushed towards the knife-wielding man in black on the shore, "Jinlan, protect yourself!"
Ling Jinlan nodded.
Meet those who swim over on the shore.
Because there were too many lanterns in the river, it was very difficult for them to get ashore. Ling Jinlan found a bamboo pole, pushed away the lanterns on the river, and cleared a path.
Pull the people in the river ashore one by one.
"Help..." The girl in the river who couldn't swim had struggled until she was exhausted and was sinking into the water.
She didn't know how much water she drank. Just when she was in despair, suddenly the water surged beside her and a hand pulled her out of the water.
Jiang Ningwan used all his strength to pull her out of the water and used his Qinggong skills to send her to a nearby boat.
Although this is very laborious, it will save people faster.
Just as Jiang Ningwan ran back and forth a few times and returned to the water again, she met a woman who was besieged by black-clad killers.
The woman was dressed in red and had an unmistakable smell of blood on her body, but it was unclear whether she was injured. She was soaked and almost out of strength in the water.
Jiang Ningwan immediately rushed over to save her and blocked the attack of the men in black.
The fight on the river was very fierce.
Qin Shuangchi soon came to help, and Jiang Ningwan had time to turn around and look at the girl in the water, only to see that she had been rescued onto the boat by a man.
For some reason, the man looked familiar.
The man seemed to be injured as well and couldn't stand up.
That figure looks like Qin Xian...
She wanted to see the man's face when he turned around, but the man in black attacked, so Jiang Ningwan had to look away and face the enemy.
The people in the river were rescued one after another and rushed to the shore.
The injured woman in red was helped ashore. She was conscious and murmured, "Northern Wasteland...Northern Wasteland..."
The man next to him looked grim, "You should worry about yourself for a while."
As he said this, he dodged the pursuit and fled quickly.
At this time, the soldiers in the city had also arrived and were standing guard at a safe distance by the river, and the people were watching from behind.
On the deserted pleasure boat, a man in black suddenly appeared, holding a torch in his hand, and shouted, "Prince Rong is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! Daning will perish sooner or later! I'm here to help you, let's die together, hahahahahahahaha..."
After a few laughs, the man threw the torch onto the pleasure boat behind him.
The fire ignited something, making a faint sound in the silent night.
Qin Shuangchi's eyebrows suddenly jumped, "Be careful!"
He hugged Jiang Ningwan and jumped towards the shore.
The wind was rushing in my ears.
There was a deafening explosion behind me, making my head buzz.
The pleasure boat exploded, and the pleasure boat next to it exploded again. The huge impact knocked the two people into the river.
They were knocked unconscious almost at the same time.
I fell into the icy river, my consciousness became blurred, and I wanted to swim upstream but I didn't have the strength to do so.
Your Majesty...
In his drowsy state, Jiang Ningwan heard an urgent call in his ears.
The night wind brought a hint of coolness.
Jiang Ningwan coughed and spit out a lot of water, and her thoughts gradually became clear. Jin Lan was squatting beside her, and she was already soaked all over.
It was Jinlan who rescued her.
"Jinlan, where is the prince?"
Ling Jinlan moved his body away, revealing Qin Shuangchi lying next to him, and Qin Huaizhao was looking after him.
Jiang Ningwan hurried forward, and Qin Shuangchi just woke up.
She quickly grabbed Qin Shuangchi's hand and asked, "Are you okay?"
Qin Shuangchi shook his head, "It's okay."
When he looked at the river again, several pleasure boats were already on fire, and many of the men in black were dead.
The soldiers captured two people alive and took them away.
Jiang Ningwan was in a trance for a moment, thinking of what the man in black said when he set fire to the pleasure boat.
Prince Rong is collaborating with the enemy and selling out his country?
Qin Huaizhao was also thinking the same thing at the moment, feeling worried. "We've captured two people alive, so we should be able to interrogate them and find out something."
"Let's go back first."
Jiang Ningwan nodded, and the few of them returned to Prince Rong's Mansion first.
The soldiers in the city suppressed the chaos and were on high alert.
Everyone returned to Prince Rong's mansion. Prince Rong already knew about the incident. "I'm sorry to have frightened you. I'm glad everyone is okay. Huai Zhao, quickly take everyone back to change clothes and rest. Ask the doctor to take a look."
"I'll go see what's going on!"
With that, Prince Rong strode out of the door.
Du Wanyun hurried over and ordered people to prepare hot water so that they could take a bath and change clothes.
When everyone was passing through the inner courtyard, a figure seemed to flash in the dark courtyard. Jiang Ningwan's eyes flashed and his steps paused.
Looking in the direction of the figure, that was Aunt Du's yard.
It seems that someone went in.
limping.
It's just that the night is too dark to see who it is.
"What's wrong?" Qin Shuangchi followed her gaze and asked puzzledly.
Seeing Du Wanyun turning around to look at her, Jiang Ningwan shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy."
Qin Shuangchi held her hand tightly upon hearing this, and Du Wanyun also hurried over to support her.
"I really didn't expect something like this to happen. In fact, Liyang has been very stable under the prince's governance over the years, and nothing like this has happened in many years."
"It was just bad luck that I ran into you guys. Fortunately, nothing serious happened."
"I've asked someone to prepare ginger soup. After you shower and change, each of you can drink a bowl."
"The doctor has already been sent for."
Jiang Ningwan coughed twice and said, "Thank you, Aunt Du."
"Why are you being polite? You have come from afar and are guests. We should take good care of you."
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the yard.
Everyone went to take a shower and change clothes.
When I came out after changing clothes, Qin Shuangchi was already waiting at the table with two bowls of ginger soup.
"Did you see anything just now?" Qin Shuangchi handed her the ginger soup.
Jiang Ningwan nodded. "Someone sneaked into Aunt Du's yard. I think he looks a bit like Qin Xian, but it's too dark to see clearly, so I can't be sure."
Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi frowned slightly, "Qin Huaizhao said that Qin Xian was resting at home and did not go out today."
Jiang Ningwan quickly added, "When I was rescuing people in Liyang River tonight, I seemed to have seen Qin Xian, but only his back."
"But that person seems to be injured."
Jiang Ningwan's suspicions grew as she spoke. After drinking the ginger soup in one gulp, she said, "I'll go take a look."
Soon after, the doctor came to see the patient and prescribe medicine.
Upon learning that Du Wanyun was in Qin Huaizhao's yard, Jiang Ningwan immediately went to Du Wanyun's yard.
I wanted to see who had gone in, and I also wanted to see if Qin Xian was there.
When we arrived at Du Wanyun's yard, there were a lot of water stains on the stone bricks on the ground, dripping all the way into the yard.
Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped, and she walked into the yard following the water stains on the ground.
The strange thing was that several rooms were pitch black with no lights on.
She was about to go forward and push open the door.
"Princess Chu!"
