Chapter 120: The Moment of Assassination
Some people just stand there and make people dare not look down upon them.
Tang Yuchuan himself was such a person. Yan Ruomeng became distressed when he saw it. When would she have such momentum?
Magistrate Zhang was really scared. Perhaps he started to feel scared when he saw Tang Yuchuan the first time.
How is this different from the weak, incompetent and beauty-obsessed prince mentioned in the letter?
In order to verify the authenticity, he even sent his only biological daughter to verify, but after a few days, Zhang Lian'er didn't even touch the edge of Tang Yuchuan's clothes.
Only then did Magistrate Zhang admit that Tang Yuchuan was clearly hiding his secrets, so it would have been better for him to abandon the dark side and join the light earlier.
After he figured this out, Tang Yuchuan and Yan Ruomeng's activities became easier.
In the next few days, we collected the true files and resettled the victims, proceeding in an orderly manner.
Until Tang Yuchuan decided to board a boat to explore the flood.
Yan Ruomeng, who was instructing the Yamen chef to cook a big pot of rice, heard the news and stuck out a face stained with soot from the smoke.
"If you want to board the boat at this time, aren't you afraid of sudden flooding?"
Tang Yuchuan's face did not change, "I can't wait any longer. According to what Li Xiucai said, Qi County, which is currently suffering from the most severe flooding, has already submerged half of the city. It's too late and we won't be able to grow food until spring."
"Can't we just change the way of traveling, take a carriage or something?" Yan Ruomeng thought about it, but still felt it was inappropriate.
Tang Yuchuan just smiled faintly, walked up to Yan Ruomeng, raised his hand gently, and wiped away a trace of ashes on her face, "It's too late, taking a boat is the fastest way to Qi County. Now that the refugees in Liangzhou City have settled down,
You can leave it to Magistrate Zhang for the time being, and you should pack it up quickly. We will return at the gate in half an hour. You must know that the only person I can trust now is you."
"good…"
After realizing that he had been tricked again, Yan Ruomeng boarded the ship while being scolded.
Isn't it just a matter of boarding the ship? She didn't believe that she, a chosen time traveler, would die here. She had never seen any big winds or waves.
As soon as she finished consoling herself like this, she was hit by a strong gust of wind, which blew her eyes so hard that Yan Ruomeng could not open her eyes. She was swaying as she stood on the deck. In the end, she had to hold on to something to keep her from falling.
After the wind blew, Yan Ruomeng raised his head and saw Tang Yuchuan's embarrassed expression.
"You seem to like my belt very much." Tang Yuchuan's voice sounded like he was clenching his molars.
Yan Ruomeng tried to figure out the feel twice before letting go of the soft and smooth satin belt, feeling in her heart that the quality was really good.
However, the atmosphere at the scene fell into an awkward situation.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Yan Ruomeng wiped his hands and walked around to Tang Yuchuan to carefully test the situation.
"You said you were aware of the water conditions and wore such good clothes, so you might encounter robbers."
Tang Yuchuan ignored her and looked straight ahead, worry written on his face.
Yan Ruomeng didn't understand, "Why are you looking like this? Are you having a fit again?"
"Why do some people wear black clothes on the boat?" Tang Yuchuan asked confusedly.
"What's so strange about this? Some people like to wear black clothes, so just wear them." Yan Ruomeng took Tang Yuchuan's hand and said, "What happened just now was purely unintentional. Why do you keep looking like this?
Woolen cloth?"
Tang Yuchuan shook his head, "What I'm talking about is why are there so many people wearing black clothes? What day is it today?"
Regarding the fact that the person in front of him repeatedly failed to answer his questions seriously, Yan Ruomeng couldn't help but explode and yelled at the person in front of him.
"I sincerely apologize to you, but you keep changing the subject. If this continues, I'll see if you can still have a hot meal tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Ruomeng felt her waist tighten, and her whole body was pulled towards Tang Yuchuan's chest with a force.
With their center of gravity unsteady, the two of them fell down on the deck and found a seat to the side to squat down. Only then did Yan Ruomeng come to his senses.
"What just happened?"
"Be careful." Tang Yuchuan pointed to a place on the deck.
Yan Ruomeng looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a sharp arrow stabbed into the wood.
And that place was where she was standing just now, thinking of this thing penetrating into her body.
Yan Ruomeng already felt pain in her heart.
"Are we being robbed by pirates?"
"More terrifying than pirates." Tang Yuchuan pointed to a ship in the distance.
Yan Ruomeng followed and looked, and then suddenly remembered the man in black that Tang Yuchuan had just mentioned. Aren't that densely packed boat of men in black the legendary secret guard killer?
"The Queen Mother's people have arrived. I'm afraid today will be very unlucky."
Yan Ruomeng paid attention to it for a while and visually estimated that there were about fifty people on the other side, which didn't seem to be too many.
"How many people should we bring? We are ready to fight them."
"Counting you and me, there are a total of twenty-eight people on this boat." Tang Yuchuan answered a little reluctantly.
Yan Ruomeng also choked on the fierce slogans that immediately burst out of her throat.
Seeing the opponent's ship getting closer and closer, the outlines of the men in black gradually became clearer. Yan Ruomeng pushed Tang Yuchuan and urged, "Then what are you waiting for? Run for your life!"
She didn't need to say this. The helmsman of the ship had already adjusted the direction. But when the ship was a little farther away, a shower of arrows came from the other side.
The guards on the ship noticed something was wrong and immediately covered the two of them and hid in the cabin.
"Sir, what should we do now? That group of thieves seems to be coming for us, and they don't look like ordinary water thieves." The leader of the guards asked.
Listening to the sound of arrows coming from above his head, Yan Ruomeng's heart beat like a drum, "Looks like this, we can't fight at all. Even if there are only a few of us, it seems the quality is not good either."
The leader of the guards almost bit his tongue when he heard her words.
After a brief moment of surprise, both of them looked at Tang Yuchuan eagerly.
"Can you swim?" Tang Yuchuan looked through the window at the turbid river water outside.
"We are both on duty in Liangzhou, so we are naturally familiar with water properties." The leader of the guards answered with his hands raised.
Tang Yuchuan nodded and reached out to take off Yan Ruomeng's clothes.
Yan Ruomeng pressed the clothes on her chest eagerly with both hands, "What are you doing?"
"Go down and dive to escape. Everyone is going to the government office. Survival is important."
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the guard turned his back and organized other guards.
Yan Ruomeng tried to hide for a few times, but Tang Yuchuan still took off his coat.
Looking at the turbulent rivers and lakes outside the window, Yan Ruomeng swallowed hesitantly.
"Do you really want to jump?"
"Jump if you want to live."
Just as Tang Yuchuan finished speaking, Yan Ruomeng saw a killer in black jumping onto their boat.
"Just die." Yan Ruomeng held his nose with one hand, leaned towards the window, and plunged into the cold river water, with Tang Yuchuan following closely behind.
Yan Ruomeng originally thought of playing in the water at the beach, but when he entered the river, he realized that it was not the same thing at all.
Chapter completed!
