Chapter 509 Look! Retribution is coming
Jiang Youzhen's whole body trembled, and at the critical moment, he suddenly pretended to sprain his foot and immediately squatted down.
The third prince standing behind her was directly exposed to the assassin. Jiang Youzhen leaned to the side again and pushed the other party with his elbow. The third prince bent his knees in pain and barely avoided the other party's sword.
Immediately, two black-robed guards rushed out from nowhere and started fighting with the assassin, while the third prince looked at the few strands of hair falling on the ground in fear.
If he hadn't lowered his head just now, he would have been killed. He immediately looked at Jiang Youzhen who was lying on the ground, with a look of suspicion in his eyes.
How could a weak scholar react so quickly? At that critical moment just now, even a martial arts master who had experienced hundreds of battles might not be able to react.
Li Dongsheng, who had just come to his senses, had the same thought. Did Jiang Youzhen really not know martial arts? His quick reaction just now was not something that ordinary people could have.
But he had felt Jiang Youzhen's pulse before, and it was clear that he had no internal energy.
"Ah~ There's an assassin!"
Only now did everyone come to their senses, and the boat was in chaos. Everyone screamed and ran around the boat.
Jiang Youzhen carefully observed the reactions of the people around him, and suddenly found that the two waitresses standing nearby threw away the trays in their hands, revealing two daggers, and immediately joined the battle.
At this moment, Li Dongsheng beside him did not react at all and had no intention of joining the battle. Could it be that this kid concealed the fact that he knew martial arts and wanted to play the pig and eat the tiger?
"There are assassins, run!" everyone exclaimed. Some of the timid ones had already run to other boats. However, soon many assassins came from all directions to join the battle, and for a while the Third Prince was at a disadvantage.
Jiang Youzhen frowned. It was none of her business whether the Third Prince lived or died. But she was with the Third Prince tonight. She would inevitably be held accountable and suspected, so she had to find a way to get out of this situation.
"Protect the Third Prince!" Seeing an assassin coming, Jiang Youzhen grabbed Li Dongsheng, who was hiding in the corner, and stood in front of the Third Prince.
Hmm? Li Dongsheng's face turned pale. Is his life not a life?
"Protect the Third Prince and retreat to the side room." Jiang Youzhen shouted.
Seeing that Li Dongsheng still didn't intend to show his skills, Jiang Youzhen said coldly: "If the Third Prince dies, neither you nor I can escape. You want to stay out of it, it's impossible!"
Li Dongsheng twitched his lips. It seemed that this was the truth. When the emperor got angry, who knew what irrational things he would do.
Even though the deposed crown prince was plotting treason, the emperor was reluctant to kill him, let alone his beloved third prince.
When the Third Prince saw Jiang Youzhen calmly giving orders to protect him, something strange suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The two madams were shocked, and then they both shouted, "Come here! Are they all dead? Who dares to act wildly on our territory? Capture them and send them to the authorities!"
Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes beside the Third Prince. Who of those guards would dare to come up and die at this time? Seeing that the other party was coming aggressively and killing at every step, wasn't this courting death?
The two guards from the Prince's Mansion tried their best to block the Third Prince. Jiang Youzhen turned and looked at him, "Your Highness, you only brought two guards with you?"
The Third Prince was speechless for a moment, "It was a secret visit."
Jiang Youzhen was speechless. If you want to die, don’t die in front of her!
The second prince on the small black-sailed boat not far away heard the unusual movement and hurried closer to take a look. When he saw the fight, he immediately smiled from ear to ear.
"I knew someone would take advantage of the situation tonight. Did the Third Brother think that no one would know that he had boarded the ship of the Crown Prince of Rong? He is hopelessly stupid, even worse than the Fourth Brother!"
“Your Highness, there are many assassins! We can just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers. If necessary, we can also…” Zhou Hai made a killing gesture, but the second prince shook his head.
"That won't work. If it's discovered, my father won't forgive me. My father will only turn a blind eye to brothers fighting against each other. But if brothers kill each other, my father won't allow it."
Zhou Hai shook his head regretfully after hearing this. "It seems that the Third Prince definitely didn't bring any guards with him. Today is a good opportunity! What a pity. I hope those assassins can be more powerful. With so many people fighting against three people, I don't believe that we can let them escape unscathed. Even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured."
The second prince smiled and was in a good mood. However, when his eyes swept over Jiang Youzhen's figure, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
What was this girl doing there? She pushed his post and mixed up with the Third Brother and the Crown Prince of Rongguo. What good could come of it? Look! Now the retribution has come.
"Oh! Isn't that Young Master Jiang? Tsk tsk! It's really dangerous!" Zhou Hai suddenly saw Jiang Youzhen. He still had some good feelings towards Jiang Youzhen. After all, he had helped His Highness a lot, but he loved money very much.
"Ouch! It was too dangerous. If it was a little later, the sword would have cut her neck."
"Hide quickly! Why bother with the Third Prince? Let him die?" Zhou Hai beat his chest and stamped his feet. If Jiang Youzhen hadn't pulled him back just now, the Third Prince would have definitely lost an arm.
Hearing Zhou Hai's repeated words, the Second Prince's face turned even darker.
Seeing Jiang Youzhen jumping up and down in a panic and not forgetting to pull the third prince, the second prince was very unhappy.
"Your Highness, you wouldn't believe that Young Master Jiang, a weak scholar, is actually quite agile. He jumps up and down like a monkey, and has dodged many attacks, and he's not hurt yet!" Zhou Hai seemed to be watching a show, but his words made the second prince think of something.
That’s right! Even if a weak scholar was more agile, it would be impossible for him to dodge every time.
"Huh? He's injured. Young Master Jiang's arm is injured!" Zhou Hai exclaimed. The Second Prince immediately looked over and saw Jiang Youzhen and the others entering the room.
"Send someone over there!" the second prince suddenly said in a cold voice.
"Are you going to kill the third prince?" Zhou Hai's eyes flashed with excitement.
"No! Let him hide in the dark and follow Jiang Youzhen. If Jiang Youzhen is in danger, he will help him, but don't reveal his identity."
Zhou Hai curled his lips immediately, he was reluctant to see Jiang Youzhen die!
"However, during this period, we still need to observe Jiang Youzhen's every move. For example, whether she is good at martial arts or not."
The second prince's eyes were burning. If Jiang Youzhen was just a civil official, he would still be confident that he could subdue him. But if Jiang Youzhen was a man of both civil and military talents, then he would be invincible, and he really needed to make other plans.
"Yes!" Zhou Hai immediately understood.
Jiang Youzhen's arm was burning with pain. If she wasn't afraid of being exposed, she wouldn't have to take the sword. But in order to take the enemy by surprise in the future, she didn't plan to reveal the fact that she practiced martial arts.
Who knows what the emperor is thinking? It will definitely affect the palace examination. The emperor is suspicious and afraid that she is too capable and cannot be controlled. What should he do?
"It's not a good idea for us to hide in the house! The door won't hold out for long." Prince Rong was speechless at this moment. In fact, he wanted to say that he didn't have to come in, and the other party didn't come to kill him.
"Then get out!" Jiang Youzhen said coldly.
The prince of Rongguo smacked his lips, "Well, forget it! They must think we are in the same group now. What if they catch me and threaten you?"
