Chapter 66 Get out of here quickly
Xiangying heard the movement and opened her eyes suddenly.
There was a thunderstorm, and Xie Chen's black boots were wet with water, making a thumping sound as he walked on the deck.
He was surrounded by captains and other soldiers.
He was rushing to the stern of the ship, and he could see the soldiers on the second ship in the distance, constantly firing smoke bombs.
It rang three times, and the sound was very harsh, indicating that the ship was in distress.
The Guards Supervisory Army said hurriedly in Jie Chen's ear: "The second ship is old and there is no water-proof compartment below. The entire bottom compartment is filled with water. If this continues, the ship will sink until the rain stops!"
Ke Jianjun next to him wiped the rain off his face and was very angry.
"I have long said not to take the water route. If you don't listen to me, the exiled prisoners on that ship will die. There are also more than 80 of our brothers. Their lives are so innocent!"
"Xie Chen, you have to take full responsibility for this! Because you were soft-hearted and blindly changed the route, killing the brothers in this boat!"
The Guards Supervisor frowned: "You should say less. The top priority is to think of a solution. Either plug the cracks or evacuate the people on the ship before it sinks."
The rainwater slid down Jie Chen's raincoat, like a curtain.
He had no time to argue with Ke Jianjun and directly ordered the people around him.
"Go prepare my ship."
"What do you want to do?" Guard Supervisor was confused.
"I'm going to fix the leak."
There are small small boats next to the big ships as backup, but now that the waves are rolling and the waves are rough, the small small boats are just like paper boats when they are put down.
Both supervisors were shocked.
"Are you crazy?" Ke Jianjun frowned, "Although the distance between the two ships is not long, it is definitely dangerous. There is an undercurrent surging under the water. You will die without waiting for it!"
Jie Chen didn't listen to his rebuttal at all and quickly tightened his sleeves.
He took off his raincoat and ordered someone to get the anchor hook and the thick straw rope.
Even though Ke Jianjun always blamed him in his heart, he couldn't help but stamp his feet anxiously in the face of such a big event.
"Xie Chen, do you insist on having your own way?"
Jie Chen glanced at him and didn't say anything. He just turned around and told all the captains around him.
"While I am away, all orders will be obeyed by the two supervisors, Wei and Ke."
"Yes!" everyone responded.
Ke Jianjun suddenly shook his hand: "Okay, okay, you want to die, I don't care about you!"
He turned and strode away.
Although the Guards and Supervisors disagreed, they felt that this was the only way.
Among them, Xie Chen's skills are the best. If he can't do it, others can't do it even more.
Guard Supervisor: "I will send two soldiers with the best water skills to accompany you there."
At this moment, Scarface ran over in a hurry.
"Jie Jiejun! Have you seen the prisoner Xiang Ying? She is missing. Her child is crying and looking for her everywhere."
The guard supervisor was a little angry and scolded: "Tukang! What time is it now, who is in the mood to care where she goes?"
"Don't bother the Jie Jiejun with this kind of thing again, and leave quickly!"
Scarface paused and looked troubled.
Just now he patrolled outside Xiangying's room door and heard Xiang Xiuxiu crying pitifully.
He still shouted softly: "I want my mother."
Scarface couldn't bear the child crying so sadly, so he came to ask.
Unexpectedly, the second ship had a serious accident, and he regretted that he came at the wrong time.
However, Jie Chen's eyes darkened, and when he learned that Xiang Ying was missing, his jawline tightened.
Why is this woman running around at this time?
He ordered: "Tukang, you go find Xiangying now. When you see her, no matter what she is doing, tie her up immediately and put her back in the room. She is not allowed to run around."
After saying that, Skinny Monkey had already ran back: "The supervisors are all ready!"
Jie Chen then strode away, and Scarface turned back to find Xiang Ying.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jie Chen reached the stern of the boat, he heard the soldiers shout louder than the others.
"What does she want to do?"
"She's going to jump!"
Jie Chen frowned, his intuition was not good.
He hurried over and saw Xiang Ying's handsome and delicate figure standing outside the ship's railing under the thunderstorm. A thick straw rope was tied around her waist and she was tying her hair.
"Xiangying!" Jie Chen quickly walked over, "Get down here!"
Xiangying didn't stop moving.
In the wind and rain, her decisive voice came: "I know how to repair boats. I brought tools and measured the distance. These straw ropes are just enough. And I just measured the water potential. Now it is downstream, don't worry!" < br>
Jie Chen had already walked near her, his thin eyes filled with red: "Get out of here quickly!"
However, Xiangying did not hesitate and jumped directly from the deck, falling like a sharp arrow into the turbulent black river.
All the soldiers were stunned.
This eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty risked her life?
"Xiangying!" Jie Chen rushed forward to grab him, but he could only hold on to the downward-moving straw rope tied to the side of the boat.
Xiangying was smart and tied two ropes around her body.
Jie Chen immediately turned around and shouted angrily: "Lower the sails and throw all the anchors into the water!"
Xiangying is actually very water-based.
During training, she set a record of holding her breath for ten minutes.
And the worse the weather is, the rougher the water surface will be, but the bottom of the water is actually relatively calm.
Xiangying did all this after careful consideration.
But she ignored one thing.
The moment she fell into the water, she was about to swim forward, but some unpleasant memories suddenly flashed through her mind.
At that moment, the deep fear that belonged to the original owner that had been sealed in his heart suddenly flew back like dust, tightening his heart.
In a daze, Xiangying seemed to be pressed into the water.
The original owner cried for help and looked pitifully at the golden figure laughing wildly on the shore.
"Father! I don't want to play anymore! I'm scared! Father, let me go up!"
However, the emperor remained unmoved and laughed even louder. He put his palm on the head of the original owner and repeatedly immersed her in the water.
The eunuch next to him shouted in shock: "Come quickly, the emperor has knocked down five stones and is in a trance. He wants to drown the princess!"
The original owner held the railing on the shore with both hands and was about to climb up when the emperor kicked him down.
Darkness and fear, along with the turbulent water, crazily squeezed into Xiangying's heart.
She hurriedly came to her senses, and a piece of driftwood floating in the water quickly floated from behind against the current, and hit Xiangying's lower back.
She groaned, her breath confused.
His body suddenly lost balance, and a straw rope around his waist broke!
Xiangying felt bad in her heart.
At this time, Jie Chen was standing at the stern of the boat, with a straw rope tied around his body, ready to follow Xiang Ying into the water.
The Guards and Supervisors advised hard: "That woman is a lunatic. You can't take risks with her. The boat is ready, so let's go by boat!"
However, Jie Chen's eyes were locked on Jiang Mian. He was waiting for Xiangying's figure to appear and confirm her location.
But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see her coming out of the water.
Suddenly, I saw that the two ropes tied to the stern railing were originally in a straight state.
One of them was broken!
Something must have happened to Xiangying underwater.
Jie Chen's expression changed, and without hesitation, he jumped into the water and disappeared into the water along with the waves.
The straw rope tied to the stern of the boat slid down quickly.
The guards and supervisors could only shout to the soldiers: "Tighten the straw rope!"
A big hand stretched out from the side and took the lead in grabbing the remaining rope that Xiangying had.
The guard supervisor looked back and saw that it was the supervisor Ke who had returned.
In the heavy rain, he pursed his lips, and the rain washed away his serious face.
The guard supervisor looked moved: "Come here and help!"
