However, in a place where no one could see, Shen Ling's hand hidden under the quilt had already quietly touched the jade flute placed in the bed.

When the person came to the bed, he looked at Shen Ling, who was still motionless on the bed, and a cold smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth.

In the next second, without saying a word, the person raised the short knife and stabbed Shen Ling on the bed.

At this moment, Shen Ling turned over and dodged the short knife that attacked, and then pulled out a short sword from under the jade flute and stabbed at the comer.

The blade entered the body, and the eyes of the person who came widened in disbelief, but there was no chance to fight back.

Shen Ling drew his short sword with an indifferent expression, pushing the already dead assassin away.

In the next few days, Shen Ling could always be assassinated at various times, the servants who delivered food during meals, the boatmen on the deck, the merchants, the courtiers, and the Jianghu people.

Although Shen Ling solved all these people, these people always made cold moves, which made Shen Ling very annoyed, and he was worried about Min Ye because of this frequent assassination.

Xiao Qianqian was on the boat, and she followed Shen Ling together, which was inevitably affected, and after several assassinations, Xiao Qianqian was already pale with fright.

When she wanted to follow Shen Ling, she just wanted to enjoy the protection brought by the people around Shen Ling.

Xiao Qianqian thought that it would be safer to follow Shen Ling than on the mountain, but she forgot that Shen Ling was the primary target of those people's assassination, and following Shen Ling was tantamount to putting herself in the same situation as Shen Ling.

Another night, everyone sat around for dinner, but a group of killers broke into the door, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Shen Ling.

He was shocked by Min and shouted loudly, "Protect the county lord!"

In an instant, plum blossoms and peonies were in front of Shen Ling, and when Bai Long and Bai Feng heard this, they immediately walked away from behind Xiao Qianqian and arrived at Shen Ling's side.

Xiao Qianqian's face turned pale, she felt the empty left and right sides, and the hatred for Shen Ling in her heart was ignited again.

Obviously, she is also the county lord, but everyone on this ship is protecting Shen Ling! No one wants to protect her!

Shen Ling looked down at the overturned dishes, and let out an impatient "tsk", her face became more and more cold.

"Didn't anyone tell you not to come and disturb people while they were eating?"

Naturally, the killers would not respond to Shen Ling, and they fought with the men who came up.

Xiao Qianqian shrank in the corner, and when the scene returned to calm, Xiao Qianqian couldn't hold back any longer.

She walked up to Shen Ling and nervously grabbed Shen Ling's sleeve, "Don't go with you, this county lord will get off the boat!"

Shen Ling frowned, waved Xiao Qianqian away, and rejected her in one bite.

"No, this ship is where you want to go."

Xiao Qianqian's body stiffened suddenly, her whole body was cold, her teeth chattered, and she was sweating profusely.

"Those killers are all coming for you, and I will die if I follow you!"

Thinking of the assassinations she had encountered these days, Xiao Qianqian's face was as white as paper, and her body trembled like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

She looked at Shen Ling pleadingly, "Shen Ling, you let me get off the boat, I beg you, just let the boat dock, it's not difficult for you."

"We've already had a lot of killers on the water, and if we let the boat dock, we'll only have more killers......

Shen Ling said and glanced at Xiao Qianqian again, besides, she was not worried about Xiao Qianqian.

If Xiao Qianqian gets off the boat and is found by the emperor's people or the people of the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable that her whereabouts will not be revealed.

"How can this be......" Xiao Qianqian was sweating profusely, but at the thought of facing an assassin who didn't know where to appear at any time, Xiao Qianqian still felt that getting off the boat was the best choice.

No matter what Shen Ling said, Xiao Qianqian always pestered Shen Ling, wanting Shen Ling to let her get off the boat.

Shen Ling's patience with Xiao Qianqian was not good, and when Xiao Qianqian reached out to grab her clothes again, Shen Ling grabbed Xiao Qianqian's collar with her backhand.

Xiao Qianqian was a little out of breath and kept slapping Shen Ling's hand.

"Let go of me!"

Shen Ling ignored it, and dragged Xiao Qianqian all the way to the side of the boat, where Bai Long and Bai Feng stood there and watched coldly, without any intention of going up to help Xiao Qianqian.

Looking at the river beside the boat, Xiao Qianqian's lips trembled, and she asked tremblingly, "Shen Ling! What are you going to do to me!"

Shen Ling snorted coldly, his subordinates worked hard, half of Xiao Qianqian's body was sent out by Shen Ling, as long as Shen Ling let go, Xiao Qianqian would fall into the tumbling river.

"Ah!!h

Xiao Qianqian screamed sharply, her eyes were full of horror, and at the same time, she grabbed Shen Ling's hand that grabbed her neckline.

She could see the river below her, and couldn't imagine what would have happened if she fell into it.

Tears rolled down Xiao Qianqian's cheeks, but Shen Ling ignored them.

"Now, are you going to get off the boat?" As she spoke, Shen Ling sent her hand down again, and now Xiao Qianqian was closer to the river, and she could even hear the sound of the water.

Xiao Qianqian's body trembled even more, and her teeth trembled with fear.

"Woo woo, I was wrong, I won't get off the boat, don't let go, pull me back."

Shen Ling originally wanted to scare Xiao Qianqian, but she didn't plan to really send Xiao Qianqian to the water, but seeing that she was scared, she pulled people back.

The moment Shen Ling let go of Xiao Qianqian's neckline, Xiao Qianqian's legs and feet were weak, and she couldn't even stand up for battle, and collapsed directly on the ground.

Shen Ling glanced at her coldly, "If you don't have the determination to jump off from here and swim back to shore, then you can stay on the boat honestly for me!"

Xiao Qianqian dared to say a word here, just leaning against the wall of the ship, gasping for breath, quite a feeling of the rest of her life.

"Look at her."

After saying a word to Bai Long and Bai Feng, who was standing next to him, Shen Ling left.

This road was not very peaceful, and the large and small assassinations continued one after another, although there were no casualties in the team, it still annoyed Shen Ling.

And the time to travel has been delayed again and again because of these endless rivers and lakes and secret guards.

Time flies like flowing water, and another day passes.

Xiao Qianqian was bored in the room, went to the deck to breathe, stood by the railing and looked into the distance, and suddenly found a young figure floating in the river.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be a little girl.

At the moment when Xiao Qianqian saw the girl in the clear water, she also heard the girl's intermittent cry for help.

"Help! Save...... Help me!"

Listening to the sound of churning water and the little girl's faint cry for help, Xiao Qianqian seemed to have returned to the day when Gan Yu died.

At that time, Gan Yu was alone underwater, was she as helpless as a little girl.

"Save ...... Fate!"

The little girl continued to scream, but her voice grew weaker and weaker.
