At the same time, the boat painters of the Zhou family also noticed the appearance of small boats on the shore in the distance.
"Brother, didn't you say that the civilian boats on the lake have been emptied out a long time ago? Even if they don't die in the hands of our dead soldiers, they will die in the water!" Zhou Changle couldn't help but turned to look at Zhou Tongchen in annoyance.
Zhou Tongchen's thin and shrewd face showed annoyance: "This..."
He didn't know where those boats came from. He had obviously taken care of them a long time ago and emptied all the civilian boats on the lake in the name of the Spring Lake Festival!
No one from the Five Cities Military and Horse Department responsible for public security in the capital would dare to disobey him and his father!
He said with a cold face and viciously: "Don't worry, the matter is not over yet!"
As he spoke, he motioned to the people around him to raise a scarlet flag on his boat.
Then, a tall ship that had been parked near the center of the lake suddenly moved and headed straight towards Ming Lanruo's ship.
Ming Lanruo was leaning on the railing at this time and watching the battle going on downstairs.
Jinghe carried the shield whip specially made for her by the unknown master and swung it vigorously on the boat, like whack-a-mole, knocking down waves of black-clad killers who tried to rush onto the boat.
Ming Lanruo saw that something was wrong, so she simply knocked on the wooden fence and raised her voice: "Jinghe, don't drag them all into the water, kill them on the boat!"
Jinghe, this girl, was so excited that she forgot what she had told her when she made the plan last night!!
When Jing He heard this, he immediately turned his wrist and replaced the action of pumping the enemy into the water with dragging the killer into the boat. He laughed dryly: "That's your order!"
Yin Shusheng's eyes flashed with suspicion, why did she want Jing He to lure the killer to the ship and then kill him.
Now the entire ship is leaking, and it will take time for reinforcements to arrive. It is obviously safest to kill the enemy under the ship!
Before he could ask, he suddenly noticed a huge shadow approaching from the corner of his eye.
His eyes turned cold, and he rushed forward suddenly, hugging Ming Lanruo in his arms: "Be careful!"
Ming Lanruo noticed something and wanted to avoid it, but was too late. She was hugged by Yin Scholar and rolled on the spot.
Then the whole ship was suddenly hit by something with a "bang", causing violent vibrations and almost overturning.
Many people on the boat fell into the water instantly and screamed for help - "Help!"
Ming Lanruo was held in the arms of the hidden scholar. He quickly grabbed the fence, hugged Ming Lanruo and lay down on the spot, close to the ground of the second floor deck, so as not to roll into the water.
Fortunately, because the boat had already taken in water and its hull was half-sunken, it did not capsize so quickly and became stable.
Ming Lanruo came back to her senses, looked at Scholar Yin, and saw that he was hugging her awkwardly, the new square scarf on his head had fallen off, and his forehead was slightly red and swollen.
She frowned worriedly: "Is your injury serious?"
Scholar Yin shook his head: "It doesn't matter, but I'm afraid this ship won't last long!"
Ming Lanruo looked at the three-story boat that crashed into the painting boat just now. It was a warship specially used by the imperial court to guard and clean up the Mingchun Lake!
At this time, officers and soldiers on the ship kept jumping down from the building along the ropes, asking loudly: "Where is the assassin?!"
The leader of the team even shouted loudly after landing: "People in the boat, come out quickly, your boat is going to sink, we are here to pick you up to the boat!"
As the boat was about to sink, most of the people, led by Xu Xiuyi, followed Ming Lanruo's instructions and ran to the cabin on the second floor to hide shiveringly.
They saw the officers and soldiers through the cracks in the doors and windows, and the fear that the boat was about to sink in water made people instinctively feel that they were saved, so they opened the door and ran out.
"Here, we are here!"
"Help!"
Those sounds attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers, who immediately grabbed their knives and walked to the wing on the second floor.
Ming Lanruo, who had just stood up after falling on the edge of the deck, saw a cold light in his eyes and shouted sternly - "Xiu Yi, don't come out!"
Xu Xiuyi was excited, remembered Ming Lanruo's advice, and immediately turned around and stopped in front of everyone, blocking the door with her back: "You can't go out, you have to wait for Princess Mourning's order before you can open the door!"
Although she didn't know why, she instinctively felt that Ming Lanruo would never harm them! This chapter has been completed!
