Chapter 55 Misfortunes Never Come Singly

After falling into the water, Yun Fenghuang quickly caught up with Emperor Chunjia, and supported him downstream with one hand, because of the buoyancy in the water, he was going downstream, so it didn't take much effort.

It didn't take long before he noticed that the assassins on the bank had entered the water one after another and were chasing after them!

Under the frosty moonlight, Yun Fenghuang turned his head and took a look, and suddenly let go of Emperor Chunjia without hesitation, even though he was swallowed by the rushing water, he took a deep breath and quietly submerged into the water.

For a moment, the assassin swimming in the front suddenly felt that something was wrong with the water flow in front of him. He reacted very quickly and quickly adjusted his swimming style-if he was on the shore, this movement must be done easily and extremely quickly. Don't try to touch the hem of his clothes even if you try your best.

However……

At this moment, not only in the water, but also in the extremely fast river!

This caused the assassin's movements to inevitably appear slow and laggy. In the process of turning around, a golden hairpin with a sharpened end stably pierced his heart.

Yun Fenghuang retreated as soon as she got her hands, and she didn't even want the hairpin. This decisiveness allowed her to escape the assassin's dying counterattack.

Under the night, she seemed to see a little blood flashing by, but it was immediately covered by the water color, and even a little bloody smell never came out. The assassin had already submerged into the bottom of the river after a short struggle. When it floated up again, with the current light, it could only see a rough outline, sinking and floating on the edge of darkness, without the slightest movement.

And Yun Fenghuang took a deep look at the second assassin who was not far away, and under the murderous gaze of the other party, he calmly dived into the bottom of the water and disappeared again.

No one spoke in the sound of rushing water, but the assassins' unique contact method had already spread the scene. The atmosphere on the river was tense for an instant, and the pursuers subconsciously slowed down their swimming speed.

Yun Fenghuang's scheming and strength exceeded their expectations. Before they came, neither they nor their behind-the-scenes ambassadors expected to encounter such a change—after all, with the limelight of this new Jin Jieyu these days, the truth has long been known. It was clear: the daughter of a wealthy family in the Northland, because of her marriage contract with Qi Jiulu, has been cultivated with the same treatment as the eldest sons since she was a child...

Literary talent aside, regarding martial arts, influenced by the atmosphere of the Northland, riding and archery is considered good among women, perhaps better than ordinary men. But if you're serious about doing it, it's actually just some semblance of stuff.

The emperor and concubine fell off the cliff together, but the real opponent of the assassins was actually the emperor himself.

This is an aristocrat who has been carefully trained by the Queen Mother Yuan and is willing to work hard himself.

When they found that the emperor was unconscious and only had a beautiful and beautiful concubine by his side, they simply thought that the great credit was already in their pockets. Who knew that things would turn out like this? ? ?

It's not that they don't know that Yunfenghuang is good at water, after all, many people know about this person who jumped into the lake at Shalu Pavilion to escape punishment.

But for this point, the assassins and the assassins' chief envoys didn't pay much attention: the assassins can also swim, and their water quality is not bad... Even if it is taken ten thousand steps back, Yun Fenghuang's water quality is better than them all. With so much physical strength, it is impossible to escape with the burden of Emperor Chunjia!

Yes, the emperor does not know water.

It's no secret.

In the assassin's consideration, the key point was to kill Emperor Chunjia.

As for Yun Fenghuang's life is not necessary, and based on the understanding of Yun Fenghuang by the people behind the scenes, I don't think this concubine who is good at making wind and rain will not give up on the emperor at critical moments.

Their consideration was actually right. If they had caught up right after they rolled off the cliff, Yun Fenghuang would have turned around without saying a word, and would never have cared about the emperor's life or death.

But after half a day's delay, she has already found a way out, so why should she let go of this life-saving grace tonight?

Under the night, a head suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and after a quick glance, it went back to the bottom again. Yun Fenghuang noticed that the distance between the pursuers and him had lengthened, indicating that they were beginning to guard against his old tricks for sneak attacks.

She was calm in her heart, neither annoyed nor thankful, but hurriedly paddled a few times at the bottom of the water, and caught up with Emperor Chunjia who was floating on the water according to the direction she remembered.

The emperor was still in a coma. Under the moonlight, his face, which was ups and downs in the river, was like frost, and his long eyelashes were like ink, casting thick shadows on his eyelids.

Because of that warmth and beauty, it looks like a sculpture, with a beauty that is almost independent of the world, not like a real person.

It's just that Yun Fenghuang didn't care to appreciate it at the moment, and felt for his pulse, and found that although it was a little slow, it was still beating extremely powerfully, and his heart was slightly relaxed. After recovering a bit, he let go of the emperor again and swam up!

The second Assassin died from a vine that somehow got tangled up on the bottom of his foot.

When he was dragged to the bottom of the water and exhaled his last breath, he was still thinking: "Where did the vines come from under the water?"

That is definitely not aquatic plants, not to mention that such luxuriant aquatic plants cannot grow at the bottom of such a fast-flowing river, even when he subconsciously pulled out his dagger to chop, the feeling of the tentacles was not the usual slippery feeling of aquatic plants, but refreshing and tough .

When the assassin was dying, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering that when he was avoiding the guards all the way, he was hindered by a kind of hard vine that can be seen everywhere in the forest more than once.

It's just that some of the older ones even had to be chopped repeatedly to break even the machetes used in the army. This is why he couldn't escape with a sharp weapon. Did it...?

This thought persisted, and he had already fallen into the cold darkness.

The third assassin was exhausted by Yun Fenghuang with his real breath-holding ability.

She touched him, pulled his feet, dived to the bottom suddenly, and then tried everything to prevent him from surfacing.

This person's breath-holding ability is not as good as hers, but his strength and physical strength are far superior to hers - the two fought extremely fiercely underwater.

Yun Fenghuang's victory was entirely due to her favorable timing and location: under the night, the bottom and surface of the water could not be seen clearly, and she judged the opponent's movements purely by the feeling of the water flow.

These assassins can be sent to kill the king, and the killing skills are of course passable.

But the people who trained them probably didn't expect to teach them underwater fighting?

What's more, the neglected person is better than Huajiao's concubine, and her water skills are more subtle than everyone thought, and she has a wealth of experience in fighting underwater.

For a long time, after repeatedly confirming that the opponent had stopped moving, Yun Fenghuang was still worried. She had reached her limit at this time, her eyes were blurred, and she even saw Xie Fenghuan for a moment, smiling quietly, wearing her favorite dress from before her death. A pleated skirt embroidered with peach blossoms on a white background, sitting upright on the porch in spring, staring at it quietly.

Yun Fenghuang bit the tip of his tongue hard to dispel the illusion, and with almost the last of his strength, he touched the dagger at the assassin's waist, and with trembling hands repeatedly poked a few times on his body, which should actually be a corpse, before hurriedly Rise to the surface for air.

At this time, she only felt that her chest cavity was about to explode at any moment, and the rapid movement caused the blood to flow rapidly. When the temperature should be continuously taken away by the water flow, she felt waves of hotness instead.

But it's not a good thing...

Yun Fenghuang glanced at the bottom of the water with some regret. Although she couldn't see anything, all she could see was the cold and shaking black color, but she knew that the assassin who had just been drowned by her and then repaired the knife had a very large knife in his hand. Nice dagger.

It's a pity that he squeezed too tightly, and she didn't have enough strength and time to grab it, so she could only reluctantly use a dagger that was heavier and less flexible in the water.

One, two, three died... Yun Fenghuang, who was exhausted, was able to float on the water at this time only because of her water proficiency. She didn't even have the strength to catch up to see how the emperor was doing, so she couldn't stop biting. The tip of his tongue forced himself to stay awake, silently counting in his heart, there is one... no, according to the quick glance at that time, there should be two more assassins?

She smiled bitterly in her heart.

After what happened to Xie Fenghuan back then, she came to the Imperial Capital from far away from the north, and at that time thought that this journey should be the most difficult time in her life;

When she first entered the palace, she flew into the lake from the Shalu Pavilion, trembling in the cold pool water in Muchun, looking for a chance to go ashore, but when she found it, she bumped into Gong Xiangxiao, and she thought of the journey she had made when she was twelve years old. Still young, there should be no more difficult situation in this life than suffering three consecutive crises in one day;

But at this moment, Yun Fenghuang thought, this is the most thrilling and critical time in her life.

Just summing up the previous experience, I don't know if she will have more tragic and hasty moments in the future?

She wishes there were.

After all, if you can't survive tonight, there is no future.

According to the head professor of the nursing home hired by Xie's large sum of money, breathing with a unique breathing rhythm for a while, Yun Fenghuang felt some strength recovered in her limbs and bones, she did not dare to hesitate, and sank into the water again.

Her heart sank when she found the fourth assassin!

Because he is not alone.

Although from the surface of the water, he was the only one paddling and guarding with vigilance, but Yun Fenghuang, based on his understanding of the water, saw something wrong with the water surface beside him at a glance.

Someone was swimming beside her with a hollow wooden pole in her mouth, waiting for her to throw herself into the net!

You can tell who this person is without asking.

The remaining two assassins must have discovered the fate of their companions, so they gave up the practice of dispersing and chasing, and chose to join forces. Moreover, they also formed a bright and dark ambush trap.

what to do?

Yun Fenghuang frowned, the difference in physical strength between the two sides was too great, even if the water was her home field, she would not be able to kill them one against two, and it would be almost the same if she was killed the other way around.

But if she didn't do anything, she couldn't stay in the water for too long in her current condition, and so did the emperor—once she got ashore, she would lose even her home court advantage!

At that time, it will be a dead end.

Yun Fenghuang's heart was anxious, and he secretly observed for a long time to no avail, but was almost noticed, so he was so frightened that he quickly dived again to hide. After so many times, the two assassins became more and more suspicious, and it was difficult for her to even get close. She was also concerned about Emperor Chunjia who had not yet awakened, so she had no choice but to suppress her killing intent for the time being, and hurried down to find the emperor.

The person holding the emperor came out of the water again, Yun Fenghuang wiped his face and felt his pulse, and found that it was slower than a moment ago, the worst thing was that the emperor's body temperature was a little cold... Originally, when he fell off the cliff, the emperor was almost Having endured the impact of 8.9 out of 10, the injury was not serious, otherwise he would not have fallen into a coma again not long after waking up.

Now that he has been soaking in the water for a long time, if this continues, the assassin will be dealt with, and the credit for saving him will be gone. At that time, I don’t know what is waiting for Yun Fenghuang?

She thought hard about the countermeasures, and it wasn't like she didn't pray for miracles to happen, for example, those useless guards descended from the sky-but!

After a while, the rescuers didn't come, but Yun Fenghuang suddenly noticed that the water flow suddenly accelerated!

She looked up in shock and anger: under the bleak moonlight, the river in front seemed to be cut down by a horizontal knife, and a mass of something happened to flow through the gap, and she didn't know if it was the corpse of one of the assassins. In short, this thing The phenomenon of disappearing suddenly after lingering for a while at the fracture made Yun Fenghuang confirm her guess.

Ahead, is a waterfall.

The visual drop should not be small.
