Chapter 512 Your Highness, It’s Good to Have a Brother
While the Third Prince was taking a breath, he smelled a strong smell of blood in the water. There was blood all around him. He was holding his sword tightly, but he was not attacked. He couldn't help but feel surprised.
Jiang Youzhen looked back and found that Li Dongsheng was entangled by an assassin, but he quickly escaped. Relieved, she turned around and saw a scene that surprised her.
The knife fell quickly and swiftly. Jiang Youzhen's face darkened. The prince of Rongguo had acted very cowardly and did not know how to fight, but she was definitely not wrong.
The one who just killed the assassin was the prince of Rongguo. His movements were very skillful. After quickly dealing with the assassin, he swam hard towards the shore.
It seems that everyone in this capital has their own secrets. Whether it is for self-protection or for other purposes, it is unknown.
As long as the other party does not harm her interests for the time being, she will not rashly expose the matter. Otherwise, she will have one more enemy. Who knows whether the Prince of Rongguo will kill her in order to keep the secret?
Seeing that there was no trace of the assassin, Jiang Youzhen put away the water-repellent beads and swam towards the third prince.
On the way, I saw some big river clams and some unusual fish, so I put them into the space. Now that the space can store living things, I might as well try some new things.
When Jiang Youzhen arrived next to the Third Prince, he was very frightened and immediately stabbed him with his sword.
"Your Highness, follow me and swim over here."
The Third Prince heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Youzhen's voice. He was not very good at swimming and could not hold on any longer.
Seeing that there was still a long distance to the shore, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"I can't swim anymore." He gasped and was about to sink, but was pulled up by Jiang Youzhen.
"Your Highness, you are too weak. Even a scholar like me can swim. You must take good care of your body when you return! Can't you be more restrained in your lust?"
Jiang Youzhen took the opportunity to insult the other party. When he thought about swimming to the shore with such a burden, he immediately felt bad.
"Cough cough!" The third prince choked on the water twice. If he were on the shore, he would have given Jiang Youzhen two slaps in the face.
"I only have one concubine." She has served me since childhood. How dare he touch other women? How many people want to kill him? How could he not know?
"That won't stop you from enjoying yourself and having fun. Your Highness, please save some energy! Otherwise, if I can't swim anymore, I may not be able to bring you to the shore!"
Jiang Youzhen was too lazy to argue with this person. If it wasn't for favors, she wouldn't care! After all, it was a life-saving favor. Even if the Third Prince was ungrateful, he couldn't just pretend it didn't happen, right?
The third prince immediately shut his mouth and decided to deal with her after getting ashore.
"Third brother, where are you? I am here to save you."
Suddenly, the voice of the Second Prince was heard not far away. Jiang Youzhen looked back and found a boat approaching, and the person on the boat was actually the Second Prince?
Wow? To show how much he loves his brothers, he actually came to pick them up in person? Aren't you afraid that there might be assassins hiding in the water?
"Your Highness! It's great to have a brother!" The words sounded like envy, but the tone was not like that.
Jiang Youzhen felt that the Second Prince was hoping that the Third Prince would die today! He ran out at this moment, probably because he himself had exposed his whereabouts, otherwise he would not have come to save people.
The third prince rolled his eyes. How could he not know what kind of character his second brother was? He wished he would die sooner!
"Second brother, save me!"
The surface of the Beiding River was brightly lit, and there were many pleasure boats and ships in the middle of the river, which were crowded with officials.
"What happened today was my fault. I beg you two princes to forgive me!" The prefect of Jingzhao was so frightened that his legs were shaking and his face was ashen.
The two princes were attacked and nearly died. This was the end of his career as prefect.
"It took you half an hour to get here with your troops. Did you fall into a deep sleep? How long does it take to get from the government office to Beiding River? Will it take more than 25 minutes?"
The third prince had changed his clothes at this moment and was sitting below the second prince, roaring loudly.
Jiang Youzhen, who was standing by, tugged at the still wet corner of his robe. I said, "You, the prince, are human beings, but we are not human beings? She is your lifesaver after all, so can't you give her some dry clothes to change into?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was very sleepy tonight. It was not intentional. After being woken up, I didn't even have time to put on my official uniform before I hurried over with my men. I didn't expect those assassins to be so brazen and dare to assassinate in public. I will investigate this case thoroughly and give you two highnesses an explanation!"
The prefect knelt down with a thud, his forehead covered with beads of sweat. He was indeed only wearing casual clothes, even his waist belt was tied very messily, and his collar was half open, which showed how hurriedly he dressed.
"So, I am going to reward you for your contribution in protecting the capital?" The second prince, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.
"Your humble servant, your humble servant dare not!" The prefect kowtowed repeatedly. He knew that he could not keep his official hat this time, but his first priority now was to save his life.
"Splash!" A sound of water was heard and everyone looked over immediately.
Jiang Youzhen was wringing water by pulling the corner of her robe. When she saw everyone looking at her, she smiled awkwardly and then put down the corner of her robe awkwardly.
The third prince raised his eyebrows, half opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Originally, he was somewhat disgusted by Jiang Youzhen's attitude of provoking and playing both sides among the princes, but this time Jiang Youzhen saved him and he couldn't say anything.
Perhaps he had misunderstood Jiang Youzhen before. Jiang Youzhen was not doing things specifically for the prince, but was loyal to the court.
Of course, she would definitely use the prince's power to benefit herself. But who would be willing to take the long way around when there is a shortcut? This just shows that Jiang Youzhen is not a pedantic person.
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Prince of Rong who was standing by. This Jiang Youzhen was indeed a little different.
Thinking about how there were so many assassins in the river just now, but Jiang Youzhen was unharmed and even escaped with the third prince, is this a skill that ordinary people can have?
"Ahem! Your Highnesses, please calm down!" Jiang Youzhen took a step forward and said respectfully.
"What? You want to plead for the prefect?" The second prince's tone was very cold, and his eyes were very cold when he looked at Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen shook his head. "I am not trying to plead for the prefect. I believe the court will make its own decision on how to deal with the case. I just think that the assassins have already fled quickly, and what's left are just corpses, but it's not that there is no evidence."
"What do you mean? Fish out the bodies of those assassins?" The third prince had calmed down at this moment. He almost lost his life just now, so he was naturally furious. Now he was thinking about the follow-up.
"Your Highness is absolutely right! I believe that the two Your Highnesses have their own conclusions, but I think that we should immediately have someone intercept them in the lower reaches of the Beiding River and quickly salvage the bodies after dawn tomorrow.
The assassin's body was placed elsewhere to facilitate the search for clues. The civilians' bodies were notified to be claimed by their families, and the court gave them some compensation, since they had suffered an unprovoked disaster in this matter. "
