Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Shen Xiyue knew that these were methods that would only be used on the battlefield.

She didn't know why these pirates were so bold, but it was obvious that today's battle would be a fight to the death.

The dark water was turbulent and several rocks hit the hull, causing Shen Xiyue to stagger slightly. Fortunately, Murong Xuan reached out and supported her, holding her in his arms.

There were swords and knives outside, so he pushed her back to the bedroom behind him and said, "Go hide."

Shen Xiyue staggered, fortunately Shuang Ye supported her. She glanced at the unfinished mutton hotpot on the table and felt her eyes sore... I hope nothing happened.

At this moment, the pirates kept approaching.

But there were swords and spears inserted on the ship for defense, so they could not board the ship for a while.

The pirates had no choice but to use catapults to throw stones a few more times, causing the ship to shake even more violently. Mao Ping immediately shouted loudly: "Fire!"

This luxurious ship finally came in handy now, as the cabin was large enough to hold enough weapons and war equipment.

The guards quickly brought out the catapults, moved barrels of kerosene from the bottom of the ship, placed them on the catapults, aimed in the direction, and flew towards the pirates' ship. Then, one flaming rocket after another followed.

Although the pirates had many boats, most of them were wooden boats. Once they were burned by fire, they instantly lost the ability to fight back.

But in the blink of an eye, the pirate ships that had been in the front just now all tilted and fell into the water.

Some bandits who jumped into the water to save themselves were shot dead by several arrows.

Seeing this, the pirates immediately changed their strategy and decided not to fight head-on. Instead, they increased their firepower and rushed forward, intending to sink Murong Xuan's ship.

The guards on Murong Xuan's side also immediately accelerated their counterattack!

The guards threw kerosene and fired rockets so quickly that the dark river surface was ablaze with fire, as bright as day, and the bandits suffered heavy casualties in a short time.

The pirates were not to be outdone. They threw cans filled with cooking oil at the top of the ship, which shattered all over the ground. Then a rocket hit the floor. The fire grew with the wind and burst into flames in an instant.

"Your Highness, there's a fire!"

Murong Xuan's eyes shone when he saw that this layer was almost being engulfed by the fierce flames.

He hurriedly turned back and rushed to the bedroom, "Shen..."

He wanted to call her name, but he held it back and shouted in panic, "Where are you?"

But the only sound in the house was the sound of burning wood.

Murong Xuan had a gloomy face as he inspected the room, his brows furrowed more and more. Where is the person?

"Their ship is on fire, charge!"

When the pirates saw the ship on fire, they immediately became more confident and boosted their morale. They rushed forward one after another to ram the ship with their boats!

"boom!"

After a series of collisions, the ship was eventually cracked and water gradually filled the cabin...

"Your Highness, the fire is getting bigger..."

"Your Highness, our boat is leaking!"

"Hurry up, Your Highness! We will protect Your Highness!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards all tried to persuade them.

Murong Xuan stood still, raised his hand to draw the sword at his waist, pointed to the sky and shouted: "Retreat means death!"

There was a vast expanse of water, and there were so many people on the ship. If they abandoned the ship, wouldn't they just become fish on the chopping board? !

Mao Ping hurriedly shouted: "Keep throwing kerosene!"

There were quite a few bandits who had rammed us in their boats just now, and all of their boats were destroyed and they were killed, but there were still more than a dozen boats left.

They were all watching with eager eyes and confident of victory, just waiting for the ship to sink and watch Murong Xuan die today!

The guards on the ship were all loyal people selected by Murong Xuan. When they saw that their master did not retreat and stayed calm in the fire, their morale was immediately boosted.

Some guards continued to throw oil at the remaining bandits and set them on fire, others quickly fetched water to put out the fire, and the remaining guards were busy plugging the gaps in the boat!

After a while, the remaining bandits were defeated, leaving only one or two broken ships slowly sinking. The guards on the ship breathed a sigh of relief.

Mao Ping shouted, "Catch him alive!"

"Yes!" The guards responded loudly, lowered the boat into the water, and rushed towards the leader-like man on the last boat.

Murong Xuan just stood there, leaning on his sword, his face ashen, and he was already somewhat unsteady on his feet. Just now, a crossbow arrow had just grazed his shoulder.

But he no longer cared about the pain.

The fire on the ship was quickly put out and the guards were busy repairing the damaged hull.

When Murong Xuan found Shen Xiyue, she was standing at the bow of the boat, her face pale and expressionless, looking at the vast water.

He stood behind her and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Shen Xiyue's brain was a little numbed by the cold wind. She turned her head and looked at Murong Xuan, but her nose tip was very sharp and she smelled the bloody smell on his body.

Murong Xuan asked her in a low voice: "Are you cold?"

Shen Xiyue didn't say anything, so he took a step forward and reached out to hold her in his arms. Shen Xiyue subconsciously dodged, as if she hated him very much.

Murong Xuan slowly withdrew his hand, and his narrow and indifferent eyes quickly gathered with murderous hostility and depression, as if he was a bloodthirsty sword, whistling out, making gods and ghosts retreat.

Murong Xuan smiled softly and said in a very light voice: "Are you scared?"

Shen Xiyue turned her head and looked at the water without saying anything.

Murong Xuan suddenly grabbed her neck and forced her to turn around and look at him.

He clearly had a smile on his face, but he looked more like a cold and poisonous snake, colorful yet so dangerous that one could die at the slightest touch.

His slender fingers slowly stroked her smooth cheek, and his slightly cool fingertips soon pinched her delicate cheek until it turned red.

Murong Xuan's lips were right next to Shen Xiyue's earlobe, and he asked dangerously, "Do you regret it?"

Shen Xiyue's eyelashes moved, her face pale and weak: "...I regret it."

If he hadn't come to Jiangnan, he wouldn't have experienced such danger!

"......" Murong Xuan sneered and looked at her coldly.

In the thick black air, it seemed as if a turbulent fate was flowing, making people live or die with a single thought.

Mao Ping saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly advised: "Your Highness..."

Murong Xuan looked at her coldly, slapped her face fiercely, turned around and walked back.

Mao Ping heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the princess was just a woman, and it was normal for her to be afraid and regretful after seeing such a scene, but His Highness......

Alas, as a servant, his opinion has no say in his master's affairs!

I am just thankful that the princess was able to keep her life when His Highness was so angry. She is truly blessed!

He didn't dare to talk to Shen Xiyue, for fear that Murong Xuan would get even angrier. He looked at Shen Xiyue helplessly, sighed, and followed her.

Shen Xiyue let out a breath silently and looked up at the moon.

The full moon is shining, cold and boundless, yet out of reach.
