Chapter 731: The Sunken Ship

compete with her for the family's love, so she picks fights with me all the time." 。But I can't do anything to her, after all, she still has a mother. I can't go too far. 。So this breath can't come...When Quan Qinghua heard this, he pondered for a moment: “It probably isn’t someone from the capital. The攝政王 swore an oath before the Emperor that if anything were to happen to him, Your Majesty would feel it immediately.” 。Even if your spiritual power is having issues right now, only a few of us know about it. The Regent doesn't know, he wouldn't risk his life for this. 。But if it's not from the capital, then it's from outside. Perhaps some people don't believe that and want to test the Emperor and Empress. 。I just don't know how they found out that the Emperor and Empress left Lin'an City. Thinking about it, the root cause might still be in the capital. 。"Shi Liyuan reluctantly followed his words and analyzed, "It's not just one Regent King in the capital, and there are people outside who constantly monitor the movements within the city. 。I have lived for over four hundred years. There are those who worship me, and naturally, there are also those who hate me. 。A cultivator is not a true immortal, so this deity cannot know everything that happens and see everything. There are many people and things that one only knows about when they appear before them. 。Therefore, if the crisis comes from where, this deity does not know either. Let's take it step by step!The story's characters didn't know where to go next and started arguing. One person shouted loudly: "According to your rules, even people in the martial arts world would want the treasure, as well as the imperial court. Some rebels with ulterior motives would also want to get the treasure and overthrow the imperial court. In the end, who could win Which side would be more successful"Someone else responded: "I think it's very likely that the rebels will win. The current imperial court is just ruled by an emperor who has not yet taken charge. What can he possibly control The court relies on the regent. Otherwise, it would be a shapeless entity. But what if the regent is the rebel leader, or if an external rebel colludes with the regent to rebel together Could the emperor oppose the regent Well, I'm just saying this casually. We should get to safety first and not worry about the consequences later." 。“That’s all there is to it. Ordinary people like us can’t possibly control the big picture.” 。There's just so little space on this ship, with only a handful of people. Nobody would be out of line. 。Then, everyone participated in the discussion. Who exposed whom As for me, if the Regent were a normal person, he wouldn't be willing to carry sedan chairs for an emperor. 。This emperor isn't even his son, so what good would a fine palanquin do him It'd be more satisfying to pull off his own scheme. 。"But the treasure still needs to be in his hands, otherwise how can we raise money for the rebellion Don't you think a rebellion costs money Just feeding those soldiers would bankrupt several principalities." 。So, you see, it's not easy for a regent to rebel. If you mess up, you might just end up getting yourself killed. 。But we've gone off on a tangent. Didn't we just ask who is the most powerful among these three parties In my opinion, it has to be the martial arts masters from the rivers and lakes. 。Of course, I've never actually met any martial artists myself. I only hear that they come and go without a trace, mastering many martial arts secrets. They can even enter and leave the imperial palace as if no one is there. 。You, such skilled masters, charging in a swarm. Even the palace can't withstand it. 。When the time comes, the Wulin Alliance will likely rise up in rebellion, and it might be enough to give the imperial court a headache. 。"You guys are all wrong, as for me, these three parties are just mutually restraining each other" 。Just like vying for the key to a treasure, before I get it, I have to do everything in my power to obtain it, and at the same time, do everything in my power to prevent the other party from obtaining it. 。This back and forth, it's probably going to take ten or eight years before anyone can get a hold of it. We're just focused on maintaining this balance. 。"That makes sense. In fact, whether it's the court or the Jianghu, they aren't completely opposed to each other. Of course, they don't just coexist peacefully either." 。The relationship between them should be, the court hopes for a stable martial world, and the martial world also hopes for a stable court. Because only when the other party is stable, can their side live a peaceful life, able to go to court when they should, and fight when they should. 。Besides the rebels, they are the ones who truly hope that the other two factions will both be unstable, because only when both the court and the underworld are in turmoil do they have a chance. 。“ Indeed, in times of chaos, heroes emerge. How many people are waiting to make their mark and rise from humble beginnings!” “Then you, people of the Jianghu, will you work for the imperial court Wouldn't it be better if both sides were united”The person who had led the story earlier also joined in, saying, “How could we not be working for the imperial court We are already doing so, but you just don't know. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the term 'accepting amnesty'.” 。"Who is the top martial artist in the Jianghu today Is it the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance" "Don't be ridiculous!" Someone who knew a little about these things scoffed, "The true masters are all cultivated by the Imperial Court. How could they possibly let wild ones take the lead Haven't you heard of the elite guards like the Jiewei Jingwei and the First, Second, and Third Class Dark Guards These ranks were all devised by the Imperial Court themselves." 。

No one in the martial arts world could come up with this kind of thing.

He is right. 。As for who is the number one expert in today's martial arts world, hmph, I heard that the second young master of the Ye family in Beijing City is considered the best. 。Yes, it's the Ye family you just mentioned. Their second young master is the first-rate expert. 。It's really impressive that children from wealthy families can master martial arts so well. 。Their family has been loyal and renowned for generations of warriors, so it's not surprising. 。" If there really is treasure, the key will ultimately end up in the hands of the imperial court. " 。After all, the top martial artist in Jianghu is a court official. This means that Jianghu and the imperial court are essentially one entity. Who could possibly rival the imperial court ""Let them have it, whoever wants it can have it. Anyway, ordinary people like us will definitely not benefit from this." 。"Who cares!"

People were enjoying themselves when suddenly someone asked, "Do you guys feel the ship rocking violently"

The ship was indeed rocking violently. Ye Wenyan had felt it a long time ago, she even held onto Shi Liyuan and said, "This isn't just waves, it's like something underneath the ship is pushing against it..."

This boat isn't big enough, and this is a river, not the sea. There shouldn't be any very large fish here. 。Then, if it wasn't a big fish, what else would be under the boat

Shi Lifen's focus was different from hers. He didn't care what was under the boat, he only cared if Ye Wenyan would sink. "I vaguely remember that you have poor water skills. Before, because you had spiritual power to use spells, you immediately cast a water avoidance spell after entering the water, so you were never drowned..." 。"Ayan, can you still use your spiritual power right now" Ye Wenyan shook his head. "Not even a bit." 。“ The master’s heart was already half-chilled by the distance, and before it could fully cool down, something at the bottom of the boat suddenly exerted force, abruptly arching upward. The entire boat rose up under this surge of power. 。The people in front were thrown to the back, those on the sides were swept into the river, and those who stayed inside the room began to scream. Soon, icy river water flooded the boat. 。Just then, someone blurted out, "I just paid for breakfast this morning, and I haven't eaten yet. The boat can't capsize like this!"It's bad luck to say the word "flip" when traveling by boat. Even when eating fish, you shouldn't "flip it over," but rather "slide it over." 。This person's words caused the ship captain to become displeased, and he immediately started cursing at him. 。Unfortunately, scolding didn't help. What was going to happen still happened. The boat, violently rocking, finally lost its balance and capsized, throwing everyone on board into the river. 。Shi Li Yuan tightly hugged Ye Wen Yan, and as soon as they entered the water, he pulled her upwards. His movements were already fast enough, but Ye Wen Yan still drank some water. 。The water was so cold it almost made her teeth ache, but the moment her head submerged, she saw many men in black at the bottom of the pool, swarming towards them. 。 “Sure enough, they're coming for us.” 。She grabbed Shili Yuan, spitting water as she said, "The river is too cold. I'm barely holding on. The opponent has been in the water for a long time and clearly has undergone cold-resistance training. We're at a disadvantage." 。We have to find a way, at least we can't let the innocent people on board be implicated by us. 。At this water temperature, I'm afraid a few more hours and it would be cold enough to freeze some to death. 。Shi Lifeng also knew the situation was critical. He even tried to use his spiritual energy, but he still couldn't summon anything. 。So he could only loudly command his attendants, "Save him!" Jie Du and the others immediately acted upon his orders. Ye Wenyan saw Quan Qinghua protecting Feng Zhaolian, and seeing that Feng Zhaolian seemed to be quite adept at swimming, he also put his mind at ease. 。Feng Zhaolian is immune to freezing, she won't be frozen to death, so that Quan Qinghua can have more room to develop. 。As expected, just as Quan Qing painted the opening of the Lotus with the color of blood, his entire body sank into the water. When he resurfaced, the river was tinged red, and the mechanism fan in his hand was fully opened. 。"Shi Lifen, you save people, I kill the enemy!" She made her decision and even pushed Shi Lifen. 。He was uneasy, "You're so adept at water, how can you possibly kill the enemy" "Although I'm not good in water, I won't drown immediately..." 。Even if I sink in water for a while, I can still come up. I just can't swim very far. 。In times of urgency, one must prioritize immediate needs and defer less pressing matters. 。Don't worry, I won't die. But if others die because of this, it will be our fault. 。She was done for, the entire person sinking to the bottom of the water, just as a man in black holding a dagger approached. 。She quickly took down the black-clad man, snatching his dagger and making it her own weapon. Then she emerged, gasping for breath. 。Shi Liyuan saw that she was indeed capable, her martial arts skills were nothing to worry about, so he nodded and went to save the people who had fallen into the water. 。Underwater, the black-clad figures seemed to be multiplying. Quan Qinghua's mechanism fan struck out with countless hidden weapons, each one finding its mark, yet they still couldn't repel the endless stream of black-clothed assailants. 。Ye Wen's dagger was also one by one, almost crushing these enemies in the process, but still couldn't kill them all. 。Ji Du Ji Rong and Hai Ya were still fighting, rescuing people even while battling. 。The icy water had already made many people lose consciousness the moment they entered it. 。The Black Clothes assassins see people, they kill. Innocent civilians have already died many. 。Yè Wēn Yán yǐnyǐ juédé shì hěn nàlǐ bù tài duì jìng……t! Beat him to death! If the Emperor blames us, we'll take responsibility!"With the emperor taking responsibility, what were they afraid ofThe two officials really went wild this time. The prince was...
