Chapter 53 Self-Rescue
Everything happened in a flash of lightning.
In just a few blinks, the situation on the ship had turned upside down.
The second master was lying on his back on the board of the boat, with a dagger inserted deep into his heart. Blood was pouring out, and he was no longer breathing. His face still maintained the shocked expression he had before his death.
At this time, it seemed a bit scary.
Probably he never imagined that he would die in the hands of a weak girl.
Ling Jingshu was standing next to the body of the second master. There was a lot of blood splattered on the clothes, and the thick smell of blood was nauseating.
There was no trace of blood in her pretty face, and she was as pale as snow. A pair of eyes flashed with a variety of complex emotions such as fear, regret, and chagrin, which soon disappeared again.
She retracted her trembling hands into her sleeves and took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
In such a critical situation just now, she had no choice but to strike first. Otherwise, she will be the only one who dies. What's more, this is a gangster who kidnapped and robbed people, so he should have died!
She did nothing wrong!
Ling Jingshu recited it silently in her heart over and over again, but her stomach was churning endlessly due to the strong bloody smell, and she finally bent over and vomited out.
Bai Yu had already been frightened by this series of changes.
How dare a young lady with a gentle temperament dare to kill someone? The other party is a murderous gangster who kills without blinking an eye...
It wasn't until Ling Jingshu bent over and vomited with a painful look on her face that Bai Yu suddenly came back to her senses. Without thinking, he rushed to Ling Jingshu's side and held Ling Jingshu's arm: "Miss, are you okay?"
Ling Jingshu felt like her stomach was churning, and she was so uncomfortable that she didn't care about her embarrassment and vomited everything in her stomach.
At this time, the bandits who attacked the official ship at night were dead and injured, and were no longer able to pose any threat.
...
"Your Highness, many people on the ship are injured. Should we send an imperial doctor to treat them?" Wang Tong suggested in a low voice.
The young man in black clothes said casually: "You can make the decision on the aftermath. You don't have to ask me one by one." When he spoke, he did not look at Wang Tong, his eyes kept falling on Ling Jingshu.
She looks beautiful and weak, but when she suddenly kills someone, she is so ruthless that it's shocking. Now I'm vomiting again...
What a contradictory and interesting girl!
Wang Tong followed the gaze of the young man in black clothes and glanced at Ling Jingshu, feeling amazed in his heart.
The guards holding long bows are all carefully selected archers who have undergone rigorous training, and all of them have the ability to pierce an enemy with a hundred steps. Just now, it seemed like there was a random shooting of arrows, but in fact, the arrows were all aimed at the gangsters.
As long as the girl doesn't move, she won't be accidentally hurt.
This girl was able to judge this calmly and did not move at all despite the random arrows. It's surprising enough. Not to mention, seize the critical moment and kill the leading gangster with the dagger in your hand...
Be cruel to yourself, and even more cruel to others!
It is rare to see such a famous lady. No wonder His Highness became interested in her...
Wang Tong thought in his mind and laughed in a low voice: "The people on this official ship were fortunate to be rescued by His Highness, otherwise they would not have escaped today. They must also be extremely grateful to His Highness, and they must express their gratitude in person. There are still some gangsters on the ship, Your Highness is too rich to take risks. It is better to go back to the cabin first and then let them board the ship to see Your Highness."
The young man in black clothes said nonchalantly: "There is no need to go back to the cabin, I will get off the ship and have a look."
"Your Highness, you must not do this." Wang Tong was startled and hurriedly stopped him: "Now that all the gangsters have not been captured, it is not very safe. If someone tries his best to violently injure someone..."
"Long-winded!"
The young man in black clothes interrupted Wang Tong a little impatiently, and then walked away.
Wang Tong did not dare to stop him, and immediately led a dozen guards to guard vigilantly around the young man in black clothes.
...
The stomach was completely vomited, and the burning and corrosive discomfort also slightly subsided.
Ling Jingshu leaned weakly against Bai Yu, with her eyes half-closed and a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
If this continues, one day she will become a stranger who doesn't even recognize herself...
"Miss, please stop crying." Bai Yu choked and wiped the tears from her face: "If you hadn't made a decisive decision just now, the gangster leader would never have let you go."
Yes, it is better to save yourself than to wait for others to save you.
If it fell into the hands of desperate gangsters, she would be the one lying on the ground now.
Ling Jingshu opened her eyes and gave a stiff smile: "Anyway, we finally escaped this disaster." After a pause, she whispered: "What happened just now...don't tell me yet. Ah Xiao, so as not to scare him."
Ling Xiao has always been timid, but he trusts and relies on her wholeheartedly. If he knew that she had killed someone, Ling Xiao would definitely be frightened!
Bai Yu nodded in agreement without thinking.
Unfortunately, there were too many people present and it was impossible to hide it. Otherwise, Bai Yu really wanted to hide this matter forever and not let anyone, especially the Ling family, know about it.
"I didn't expect you to have the guts to kill someone," the cold voice contained an inherent condescension, just like the feeling given by the young man in black clothes: "At last, my rescue of you was not in vain."
Bai Yu was very angry in her heart, and responded with a bit of force: "Thank you, Master, for saving your life. However, Master just ordered people to shoot arrows without even saying a word, which seemed too reckless. If something happened, , It doesn’t matter if my slave lives, what should I do if I hurt the young lady?”
Before the black-clothed youth said anything, the tall and strong Wang Tong's face changed: "How dare you! How dare you talk to His Highness like this!"
Your Highness?
Ling Jingshu was startled and suddenly looked up at the black-clothed youth.
This title can only be used by the princes and grandchildren of the emperor. She had long guessed that this black-clothed youth had an extraordinary origin, but she didn't expect that he would have such a noble identity.
The black-clothed youth was so young, could he be the youngest prince, Prince Yan Yang Qi? Or the crown prince of the East Palace, Yang Yao?
Bai Yu's face changed slightly, and he secretly regretted it. If he angered the nobleman by being quick-witted, wouldn't it bring trouble to the young lady?
The black-clothed youth glanced at Wang Tong indifferently: "Too much talk!"
The unhappiness in his tone was clearly visible.
Wang Tong immediately knelt down to apologize: "I shouldn't have disclosed your Highness's identity casually, please punish me!"
The black-clothed boy ignored Wang Tong and let him kneel, his eyes fell on Ling Jingshu: "What's your name?" No need to hide his identity, the demeanor of being in a high position and holding power was revealed.
Ling Jingshu subconsciously stood up straight: "My surname is Ling, and I am the ninth child in the family."
As for her maiden name, of course, I can't tell you.
The black-clothed boy was obviously not used to someone going against his wishes, and raised his eyebrows.
Wang Tong, who was still kneeling on the ground, was secretly shocked.
His Highness was naturally majestic and had a cold temperament. Even the guards who served him day and night did not dare to look at His Highness, let alone contradict him. This Miss Ling Jiu is quite courageous...
