Chapter 116 Rescue

At this time, the two ships were like arrows shot from a bow, one in front and the other behind, quickly moving towards the shore.

On the first ship to dock, Chu Yunzheng was agile and his moves were as fast as lightning.

He snatched the blade from the assassin's hand with lightning speed, and then swung it without hesitation. The sharp blade instantly cut across the assassin's neck, blood splattered everywhere, and the assassin died before he even had time to scream.

Chu Yunzheng held the bloody blade in his hand, with no intention of stopping.

He suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed towards the other assassins who were surrounding him like a gust of wind.

There were a few muffled "bang" sounds, and several assassins were kicked straight out like kites with broken strings and fell into the lake.

In an instant, huge circles of water splashed on the calm lake surface.

At the same time, Shi'an was not to be outdone.

He held a broadsword in his hand and fought back and forth with the assassin.

As swords flashed and shadows clashed, sparks flew and shouts of killing rang out one after another.

Every swing of the sword was accompanied by a sharp sound of wind; every attack was accompanied by the assassin's screams.

Under Shi'an's fearless attack, those originally ferocious assassins fell one after another, lying on the ground in a mess, unable to get up again.

Looking at Chu Heyuan again, out of instinct, he tightly grasped Wang Ruo, who was also unable to fight back.

Under the strict protection of numerous guards, they carefully prepared to escape from the danger-ridden ship and land on the safe shore.

At this moment, the raging fire on the shore has gradually subsided.

After a difficult firefighting effort, the groom Pei Xu and the bride Wen Wange were finally successfully rescued from the sea of ​​fire.

Pei Xu's originally handsome face was now covered in dust, looking a little disheveled.

However, he didn't care about his image at all. He always hugged Wen Wange tightly and protected her firmly in his arms with his strong chest.

The gorgeous wedding dresses of the two had already become tattered by the raging fire, and were covered with traces of smoke and fire.

Doctors in the city who heard the news rushed to the scene. They raced against time to treat the injured and tried to pull them back from the brink of death.

The officers and soldiers on the side maintained order at the scene in an orderly manner to ensure that the rescue work could proceed smoothly.

The whole scene was tense and chaotic, but everyone performed their duties and tried their best to deal with this sudden disaster.

After Pei Xu carefully checked and confirmed that Wen Wange was unharmed, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to pick up Wen Wange and return to the mansion, he suddenly heard bursts of fierce fighting coming from not far away. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw people fighting fiercely on the calm lake.

The crowd on the shore who were originally watching were also attracted by this sudden change. Everyone was whispering and talking, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

The officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining order at the scene naturally would not miss such an unusual situation. They responded quickly, pulled out some people from the team, and ran quickly towards the lake to find out what was going on.

At this time, on a boat that arrived at the shore first, Chu Heyuan held Wang Ruo's hand tightly and rushed to the shore at an extremely fast speed.

When Chu Yunzheng, Shi'an and others saw this scene, they followed without hesitation, struggling to resist the attacks from behind while running towards the shore.

Only after everyone had successfully reached the shore did the boat behind gradually approach the shore.

Chu Heyuan was extremely anxious, his face filled with worry. He shouted at Chu Yunzheng, "Uncle, my father and I are still trapped on that ship that has not yet reached the shore!"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yunzheng's figure flashed and he rushed towards the ship that was slowly approaching the shore.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers who had been sent out to check the situation and the Pei family members who hurried over also arrived at the shore.

Military Lieutenant Pei Xian saw Chu Heyuan and others at a glance, and felt very surprised and confused. He was about to step forward to ask what had happened.

Shi'an stepped forward before him, holding up the token in his hand and shouting, "Help!"

When Pei Xian saw this scene, his face changed drastically. He did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and quickly knelt on his knees, respectfully accepting the order.

On this side, Chu Yunxiao, holding a long sword and moving as fast as lightning, tightly protected Xu Zhouye and rushed left and right under the continuous attacks of the assassins.

Xu Zhouye looked at Chu Yunxiao who was protecting him with a tired face, his heart full of pity.

He was secretly annoyed. If he hadn't accidentally been poisoned by the knockout incense, which was mixed with some muscle softening powder, causing him to be weak and powerless and unable to use martial arts, how could he be in such a miserable state and only be able to hide behind Chu Yunxiao?

With his skills, he can fight alongside Chu Yunxiao and kill all these assassins without leaving a single one alive!

Looking at the other side, although Xuan Qi and a few others were also drugged by the incense, they were still able to fight to the death with these desperate criminals with their extraordinary physical strength and strong willpower.

Their moves are brutal and precise, and every strike can cause considerable damage to the assassin.

Seeing this, Xu Zhouye was filled with admiration and couldn't help but secretly admire it.

As expected of the emperor's secret guards, each of them is indeed extraordinary!

At this moment, Xu Zhouye suddenly came to his senses and found that an assassin beside him took advantage of his distraction and stabbed at them with a long knife like a hungry tiger.

Without giving it any time to think, Xu Zhouye grabbed Chu Yunxiao's arm and yanked him back. At the same time, he quickly turned around and kicked the assassin.

The kick was so powerful that it knocked the assassin to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Zhouye snatched the long sword from the other party's hand, held it tightly in his hand, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Perhaps it was because the effect of the medicine was gradually wearing off, or perhaps he was unwilling to be protected like this forever. He took a deep breath, mobilized the remaining internal strength in his body, and followed Chu Yunxiao to rush towards the group of assassins.

Just when they were about to break through the cabin door, suddenly, another large wave of assassins rushed in like a tide.

"This is endless!" Xu Zhouye gritted his teeth, "What's going to happen if this continues?"

Chu Yunxiao, who was standing by, glanced at him calmly and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, help should be here soon."

As if to confirm his words, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunzheng, with Pei Xian and others chasing closely behind him, rushed in like lightning.

"Royal brother, are you all okay?" Chu Yunzheng took a few steps forward anxiously, his eyes full of worry.

"Don't worry, we're fine." Chu Yunxiao responded, then quickly gave orders, "Clear the trouble here as soon as possible and leave someone alive."

"Okay!" Chu Yunzheng nodded without hesitation, then turned around and used all his skills together with Pei Xian and others.

When it comes to going into battle and killing enemies, Chu Yunzheng is very familiar with it and can do it with ease.

He and Pei Xian worked in perfect harmony, like a tiger among a flock of sheep. The weapons in their hands flew, and with a flash of cold light, the assassins screamed and fell to the ground.

Before long, the assassins who had originally filled the cabin were killed to pieces, leaving only a few left.

At this time, Chu Yunxiao and Xu Zhouye successfully reached the shore under the strict protection of many guards and soldiers.

"Father, Father!" Chu Heyuan hurried over with big strides and asked nervously, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Chu Yunxiao and Xu Zhouye answered almost in unison.

Chu Yunxiao slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on Xu Zhouye, he smiled, then turned back and raised his hand, gently stroking the little prince's head, and said in a gentle tone: "You go back first."

Xu Zhouye walked forward quickly, first looked to the left, then looked to the right, carefully checking Chu Heyuan's physical condition. Only after confirming that Chu Heyuan was not injured did he breathe a sigh of relief and feel relieved.

Chu Heyuan, who was being cared for at this moment, appeared particularly well-behaved. He lowered his head, a light blush spreading across his fair cheeks, and replied softly, "As long as the emperor and the lord are safe, I'm glad. I'm fine."

Chu Yunxiao looked at the sensible prince, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. After a slight smile, he raised his head and looked at Shi'an beside him, and ordered: "Escort the prince back to the palace."

"Yes, sir!" Shi'an clasped his hands together and responded respectfully. Then he led Chu Heyuan and Wang Ruo away.

Wang Ruo followed Chu Heyuan closely, and recalled the thrilling scene just now, still feeling a little scared.

If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always protecting him, I'm afraid he would have lost his life here long ago.

He originally thought that the prince disliked him, so he always kept a certain distance from the prince on weekdays.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the prince not only did not abandon him, but instead protected him at the risk of his life.

Although he was still young, Wang Ruo already understood what it meant to be indebted to someone for saving his life.

So he silently kept this kindness deep in his heart.
