Fang Yachen listened to me silently, sighed softly, pushed Han Fei away, and stepped back a small step: "But if you are with him, the hatred and hatred of the past will not be forgotten."

Han Fei said anxiously, "I... I will try my best to make you forget..."

"It doesn't matter if you can't forget it." I said: "Someone told me before that love and hatred is also a good way to get along. In short, you both understand each other's feelings, and after that, think about it in the long run. For now, don't flirt and be restrained. Do the right thing..."

Han Fei frowned and said solemnly: "The most urgent task is to find out who is behind the explosion..."

He and I turned to the ship at the same time, and when we got nowhere, I suddenly heard Fang Yachen shouting: "Be careful!"

I felt that I was pushed hard on my back, my legs were unstable and I stumbled a bit. When I turned around again, I saw Fang Yachen stretched out his arms to block Han Fei, and was hit by an arrow in the shoulder!

In the cabin, on the stern, a dozen people rushed out like a conjuration, some with knives, some with bows and arrows, and in the blink of an eye, we were circled in the center.

Han Fei felt bad, took out his belt and swung it into a soft sword, stopped in front of us, and said to the group: "Who is coming!"

How could that group of people spend more time with us, not to mention attacking with swords, Han Fei's soft swordsmanship is very superb, and he has the upper hand with a few tricks, but they are outnumbered, and the remaining few people are approaching us, Fang Yachen has one hand Holding the injured part of her shoulder, blood seeped through her fingers and dripped, but she still insisted on standing in front of me, whispering in my ear like a gossamer, "Your Highness, if we can't hold it any longer, just jump down."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to untie the hairpin on the jade crown, pressed the mechanism, and the tip of the hairpin protruded several inches, like a head, pointed at the group of people, and said sternly: "That boat was also destroyed by you!"

As everyone knows, Fang Yachen took off his hairpin, and his long hair fluttered in the wind. When the group of assassins saw this, someone exclaimed: "The secret report is correct, there is a woman disguised as a man, and she is Princess Xiangyi." The assassins in the battle circle also jumped out, and when they got close, Han Fei jumped down in front of us and shouted, "Are you here to assassinate the princess?"

The leader of the group said succinctly: "According to orders."

My thoughts fell into chaos, and I thought about several possibilities. I don’t know who is going to take my life this time? While hesitating, there was a sudden tingling pain in the arm, Fang Yachen's long hairpin pierced into my bone, she said viciously: "So you are a traitor!"

I was sweating from the sharp pain, "What are you talking about?"

Fang Yachen roared: "It was you who brought Ben Gong on this ship! It was you who revealed Ben Gong's whereabouts to others! You...you bastard!"

Damn... Now what kind of mess is this, how can I not count it at all?

The assassin in the lead looked at me and said with a smile: "So you are the student of the Imperial College who should cooperate with each other."

What should be inside and outside?

Before I could react, Han Fei glared angrily, the tip of the sword stabbed straight into my face, I couldn't avoid it, but the assassin at the head helped me stop the sword and pulled me to their side, laughing: "Your The task has been completed, and then give it to us."

This quote made me string the threads of chaos together.

Someone knew in advance that I was disguised as a man and mixed up in the Guozijian, and colluded with someone in the Guozijian in an attempt to assassinate me today. The group of assassins did not know the face of Princess Xiangyi, and they saw Fang Yachen as a woman, so they identified her as a princess.

And Fang Yachen... She guessed this just now. She deliberately pretended to be me... The purpose was to get me out of danger, but she didn't know that it would put her in a difficult situation... Even Han Pei decided to cooperate with Fang Yachen. To save my life!

These two lunatics! Why should they save me? They... don't they care about each other's lives?

My eyes were hazy as I watched them slaughter with this group of assassins, with sword wounds on their bodies and more and more blood flowing... The two of them... clearly fell in love with each other, and after so much, finally, they were finally able to Let go of the old hatred, and finally we are about to be together... It's for me...

How should I be?

I looked around in confusion, I don’t know when the painting boat has floated far away from the shore, there is no one around, and there is no help...

and many more.

At this moment, the water is facing west, why is the boat heading northwards? Is it the boatman? No, the boatman just now is also an assassin... So, who is at the helm? An accomplice among the assassins, or... someone else?

While thinking about it, vaguely felt that the painting boat stopped again. Perhaps they were still fighting and it was difficult to detect. At this time, they had passed a turning point, and the painting boat was getting faster and faster along the turbulent current, and the direction at this time... Could it be?

I turned and ran to the stern without seeing anyone. But when I looked back suddenly, I saw something flashing in the corner...

My heart skipped a beat.

Some people wanted to take advantage of the river's change to get rid of these assassins, but... they were unwilling to come forward to save Han Fei and Fang Yachen.

But I have to... keep them.

I slowly stepped back, slowly unbuttoned my bun, and pretended to be inadvertent to let them discover my abnormality.

There is only one way to save them.

After the man in the lead was repelled by Han Fei, he suddenly caught a glimpse of my long hair and shouted, "Stop!"

Han and Fang, who were already covered in bruises and bruises, also looked at them like them, their faces shocked. One of the assassins was dumbfounded: "She is not a student of the Imperial College, she is also a woman..."

"Then who is the princess?"

The man in the lead looked back and forth, and said savagely: "It doesn't matter who is the princess! It's better to be in vain than to indulge! Kill!"

I quickly ran towards the stern of the boat, and behind me came the sound of the two Han Fang and the assassins fighting hard.

There were thirteen assassins in total, and Han and Fang had already eliminated three, leaving ten. At this time, their energy was exhausted, and if they fought two against ten, they would have no chance of winning. So the first step is to spread out their assassination lineup.

As for the second step...

I felt a gust of sword wind behind me, the assassin must have caught up to me and was about to hit me, I closed my eyes tightly, this second step was a gamble...

With a "bang", the sound of the two blades clashing cut through the sky, and I turned my head abruptly, but saw a figure fall in front of me, with arms raised, holding a sword, the sword was not sheathed, and the blue sleeves were blowing in the wind Float gently.

The second step is to bet that he will come forward to save my life.

Nie Ran, who has been waiting for an opportunity in the dark.

I have only known Nie Ran's martial arts. There were far more martial arts masters in the jungle that day than at this time. He resisted for a long time with one person's strength, and now...

The dark clouds rolled over, the wind was rising, Nie Ran's long sword was unsheathed, and the murderous aura filled the air instantly. Although the assassin was agile, but Nie Ran's sword strike was by no means easy. In a short while, several assassins were killed by his sword, and finally one was left, blocking his mouth with sackcloth and tying him, as a living mouth.

Seeing that it was okay, I was anxious to see the appearance of Han and Fang on the deck. Fang stepped out, and his body stagnated, and Nie Ran grabbed me.

He said in a deep voice, "Are you deliberately attacking me?"

I asked back, "You didn't do it on purpose, hoping that Han Fei would die in this 'accident'?"

Nie Ran said, "Why should I do this?"

"According to what I said," I said, "this inspector was reserved for you at the beginning of the fight, but Princess Xiangyi's obstruction disrupted all your plans, so no matter who did what happened today , but it turned out to be beneficial to you... why would you want to save people?"

Nie Ran took another step forward, "Who are you..."

I did not answer him.

Nie Ran squeezed my wrist so hard that it hurt so much. I twisted and touched the wound where the hairpin pierced my arm. With a grunt, Nie Ran said, "Why are you so sure that I will save you?"

I stared at him: "You owe me a life, you want to distance yourself from me so much, you will definitely pay this life back."

Nie Ran smiled coldly. I couldn't understand the meaning of that smile. When he let go slowly, I was about to turn around to look for Han and Fang, when the boat shook violently, the whole person hit the railing, and the golden hairpin fell again. An inch, trembling in pain. Nie Ran stepped forward to help me up, glanced at the golden hairpin, and said, "It must be pulled out."

Before I could answer, he directly grabbed the handle of the hairpin and yanked it out. I shuddered, and the wound on my arm was suddenly empty.

Nie Ran simply tore off the cloth and wrapped it up for me, and said, "You are tough, you can endure this kind of pain without saying a word."

I have experienced the pain of gouging out my heart, so what is it?

I propped myself up and swayed the boat again. The soles of my feet were cold, and the water seeped through my shoes and socks. Nie Ran said sternly, "The boat is going to sink."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the boat go down and down. At an extremely fast speed, I frowned, "Did they destroy the boat?"

Nie Ran said: "The water flows to the north, and the north has a shore. As long as you hold your breath in the water, you will have vitality."

I asked, "Is it you who was at the helm in the cabin just now?"

Nie Ran nodded slightly, grabbed me and walked towards the stern, and said, "Don't worry, this time, I won't leave you behind."

Nie Ran's face and eyes changed, and he had never seen it before. It was different from that time when he took care of Zhao Yanran, and it was also different from Xu Fang's thoughtfulness. There was a vague kind of domineering in the air, but , Obviously they are two completely different people, but the warm and determined voice sounded in his ears: Don't be afraid, I will be with you, and the wind.

I shook my head, put aside those chaotic thoughts, and only said: "Han Fei and Fang Yachen..."

Nie Ran said, "If they can't save themselves, you and I can't save them either."

The words fell, and the painting boat sank to the bottom of the water. Nie Ran grabbed my waist and took a deep breath. In the next moment, I felt that my whole body was buried in the cold deep water, and the impact of the waves made my head start. Confused, his legs were too stiff to obey.

Fear and helplessness surged all over the body, and the qíng shape that dared not recall but dreamed back to in the middle of the night reappeared, overlapping with this moment...

"Does the girl know that Xing's life is not guaranteed, so she wants to be buried with La Yanran? It really is a snake and a scorpion!"

"I'm saving you for Yanran's sake."

"The person I like is called Xu Fang."

I opened my eyes suddenly, Nie Ran was already clinging to a tree growing horizontally on the cliff downstream with one hand, and the other hand held my arm tightly, seeing that the branch was about to break, he would not let go. Said: "Stay one more breath! It's still a while before you can get close to the shore!"

My heart warmed imperceptibly, and tears were almost coming out of my eyes.

This time, maybe he is really trying to protect me...

A cold light flashed past, and the sound of "hiss" was the sound of a knife cutting through the skin.

I don't know how the bound assassin untied the rope and escaped, and I don't know why he drifted here, but when I saw the sword cut through Nie Ran's hand that grabbed me and blood splashed, I knew that Once, he still failed to catch me.

The terrible thing about fate is that no matter how hard you struggle and how you try to change, the outcome is already doomed.

I can't breathe, and even the strength to open my eyes has disappeared. I think, this time, there should be no Zhou Shenyi who can save my life.

Just as my consciousness gradually detached from this body, I felt something soft and warm on my lips.
