After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 149: In the Midst of Crisis

At this moment, Ye Qing watched as the ship continued to sink.

But now there's nothing I can do, and I'm extremely anxious and worried.

"Sir, why don't we ask the local government for help and have them send people over immediately to provide support?"

“But the nearest place takes an hour to get there and back, and now that the general’s ship has been damaged, I’m worried we won’t make it in time.”

Only after thinking about this did I feel a little hesitant.

What's wrong?

"I think that ship looks like it's broken. What happened?"

By this time, many people had gathered on the surrounding riverbanks, and everyone was discussing the matter.

They had no idea that the people on the ship were King Jinglie and his queen.

"Lord Ye...we have no time to hesitate. I'll take two people to ask for help first. You stay here and see how things go."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing knew that he had no other choice but to do this.

At this point, the assassin in the water also revealed his true identity.

Each of them was dressed in black night clothes and wore a mask.

The fact that these people could hold their breath underwater for so long is enough to show that they are all highly skilled in martial arts.

"Who exactly are you people?"

Li Jingyang also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Now, besides worrying about Lin Rusi, there are also so many innocent workers on the ship.

We should not make unnecessary sacrifices because of this.

The man smiled coldly upon hearing this.

"Of course, it's the one who will take your lives."

Without saying a word, the leader of the men in black drew his sword and charged forward.

Lin Rusi had never experienced anything like this in either her past or present life, and she was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, Wanqi, who was beside Lin Rusi, managed to pull her back in time.

"Your Highness, please be careful."

Lin Rusi then came to her senses.

"Wanqi..."

“These people are highly skilled in martial arts. The two of us are no match for them. Wang Fei should hide in the back first; it will be safer that way.”

But before they could even make a move, they were blocked by these men in black.

Today, not a single person on this ship can be spared.

Li Jingyang's face was extremely pale.

Are all these people here for me? But what are their motives?

"Who exactly sent you? Even if I'm going to die, I should at least know the truth!"

Li Jingyang said that on purpose.

But to everyone's surprise, they weren't fooled at all.

They had already sensed Li Jingyang's high level of martial arts skills; he was only one person, yet he could fight them for so long.

It seems that completing the task today will not be as simple as I imagined.

If we don't finish this quickly, reinforcements will arrive soon.

After thinking about this, I felt that this matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

"Your Highness is indeed extraordinary. I have long heard of your great name. However, with so many of us here today, even if Your Highness's martial arts are superb, I'm afraid you are no match for all of us."

After saying this, they all got into a fight.

Lin Rusi doesn't know any martial arts at all, and now she can only hide behind Li Jingyang.

I just hate myself for being so useless.

"Brothers, this ship is almost finished. We must finish this quickly, or we'll die here with them."

After hearing this, the group realized the seriousness of the matter.

This operation was originally aimed at Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi.

Once we kill those two, the mission will be complete.

Having thought of this, he launched an attack on the two of them.

"Don't go too far!"

Li Jingyang then protected the person behind him and fought them with all his might.

Lin Rusi was terrified, but she also knew that in this situation, doing nothing was the biggest help she could give them.

Otherwise they would have to distract themselves to protect themselves.

In that instant, I also felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Even though I had been reborn, there were still some things I couldn't do anything about.

If something really happens to Li Jingyang today, how should I deal with it?

Many thoughts flashed through my mind in that instant.

"Rusi, don't be afraid. I will do my best to hold these people off. When you have a chance, hide in the cabin. Ye Qing is on the shore. It won't be long before he finds a way to rescue us."

Li Jingyang knew that he had always been very loyal and would never ignore this matter.

Sure enough, Lin Rusi nodded after hearing this.

Protecting yourself is the biggest help you can give.

The people on the boat had never seen anything like it before, and everyone felt a bit nervous.

I wanted to jump down from here as soon as possible and then swim away.

But little did they expect that these men in black had no intention of leaving any survivors.

There is absolutely no way we will let these people escape from here.

That's why they killed all the workers.

Some blood splattered on Lin Rusi's face, and Lin Rusi was terrified.

I have never encountered anything like this before.

Seeing how fierce these people look now, I feel a little scared.

At that moment, my legs felt like they were filled with lead, and I couldn't walk anymore.

Seeing this, Li Jingyang's expression became even uglier, and he glared fiercely at those people.

"If you want my life, you can come and take it if you have the ability. But they are just innocent civilians. Why do you have to kill them all?"

"Your Highness should worry about yourself first."

After saying this, they launched another attack, but even though Li Jingyang was highly skilled in martial arts, there were simply too many of them.

Even with so many people attacking together, they were no match for them.

At that time, I also felt powerless.

But no matter the cost, we must ensure Lin Rusi returns safely today.

"Lord Ye, what should we do? I also saw those men in black, but the center of the lake is too far from the shore. I'm afraid we can't help with this."

If the distance were shorter, they could use their light-footed skills to get there, but the current distance makes it impossible for them, and the boatmen around them are unwilling to help.

Ye Qing also felt a headache.

Soon, more and more people came to watch.

They also realized that the ship was sinking steadily, and it wouldn't be long before the people on board perished.

Everyone was here offering advice, while the boatmen who had been gloating on the sidelines had already secretly left.

If King Jinglie on the ship really has some problem, I'm afraid they will also be blamed.

That's why he sneaked away when there were so many people around, trying to shirk responsibility.
