The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

"Ling Mohan!" Si Yan swam to the water's edge near the cliff and looked at the man who was just on the water. He disappeared in an instant and knew that he had fallen into the water.

Si Yan jumped into the water and dived into it.

It was already dark on the river, and only the burning rebel ships were emitting bright flames.

However, the depths of the wide Yu River bay are still gloomy and dark.

Si Yan dived into the unfathomable water, searching everywhere for Ling Mohan.

In the suffocating water, Ling Mohan was dragged and sank deeper and deeper...

He had a strong belief in his heart that he could not die, he absolutely could not die...

He said he would protect Ayan for the rest of his life. How can he protect Ayan if he dies?

He had already seen Ah Yan swimming over...

What will happen to Ayan if he can't find him?

She will definitely be very sad and will cry...

Ling Mohan suddenly stopped struggling to move upwards. He bent down and swam down hard, grabbing the man who was hugging him underneath.

Ling Mohan clenched his fists and hit the head of the person holding him hard, trying to dig his eyes.

There was a commotion under the water, and Ling Mohan started fighting with the man who was holding him tightly.

Both of them had no weapons in their hands and could only rely on their hands and feet to fight in the sinking water.

This is not the strongest opponent Ling Mohan encountered today, but he is the most difficult one.

With the idea of ​​dying together, this man held on to Ling Mohan tightly, and no matter how Ling Mohan hit him, he always used the same move.

The river was getting deeper and deeper, and the surroundings were terribly dark. The two men kept sinking.

At this moment, a figure like a fish swam over. Si Yan waved the dagger in his hand and removed the arm that was hugging Ling Mohan.

The man raised his head, splashed in the water a few times, opened his lips, and bubbles came out of his mouth.

Blood spread at the bottom of the water, and the body that was tightly hugging Ling Mohan sank.

Si Yan pulled Ling Mohan and swam upstream desperately.

Ling Mohan almost fainted when he returned to the surface.

The two men surfaced, gasping for air like two dying fish.

"Cough cough cough..."

Ling Mohan spat out a few mouthfuls of water mixed with blood and started coughing continuously.

Si Yan climbed onto a branch on the cliff with one hand, and grabbed Ling Mohan's clothes with the other, breathing heavily...

Ling Mohan also breathed heavily, his eyes red as he looked at the woman in front of him: "Ayan..."

"Don't talk, take a break."

Ling Mohan really stopped talking.

He grabbed a protruding rock on the cliff with his big hands and fell silent.

"There's a boat over there. I'll go get it."

Si Yan looked up and saw that the water surface reflecting the firelight was littered with floating corpses, mixed with some debris and many small boats left behind by the killers from the Beimang Kingdom.

Si Yan swam over, rowed the boat over, and reached out to Ling Mohan.

Ling Mohan grabbed Si Yan's hand, climbed onto the boat, and hugged Si Yan.

"Ayan, just for a moment, let me hold you..." Ling Mohan took a deep breath and gently hugged the woman in front of him.

Si Yan paused and patted him on the back gently: "You are very brave today."

The tall young man in front of me is only nineteen years old, but he has already shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the country.

Ling Mohan lowered his eyes, a little disappointed: "Ayan, I'm holding you back."

If Ah Yan hadn't been there today, he didn't know if he would have been able to surface...

Compared to A Yan, he is still not strong enough.

Si Yan didn't say anything. She looked at the man in front of her gently, and after a while she spoke, "Actually, I don't have to let you come today."

"Ayan..." Ling Mohan gently let go of Si Yan and looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"It's precisely because I know that you are good enough, and the one hundred guards under your command are good enough, that I let you follow me on this adventure. If you were really someone who would hold me back, I wouldn't have let you on board at all."

"..."

"I know you summoned the best guards from the Zuowei Mansion. They were all very brave tonight. Mo Han, you have always been the one who silently protected me. I know..."

The girl's voice was a little hoarse.

She is cruel and calm.

Si Yan knew very well that those who were fighting against the killers from Beimang Country today were all the most powerful guards.

Whether it is Ling Mohan's men or Boya's men.

She also knew very well that at least half of them, who had followed her to Deepwater Bay, would not be able to return.

But someone has to fight, someone has to shoulder the responsibility of defending the country.

In such a life-and-death battle, only those who are terrifyingly strong can survive.

Even if one is powerful, there will be sacrifices.

But this is the battlefield, this is war.

Even the people they care about most and whom they are closest to will sometimes be unable to protect.

Ling Mohan fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.

Suddenly, he truly understood her lofty ambitions and her dream of protecting the world.

He suddenly felt that it no longer mattered whether she was the childhood sweetheart who grew up with him.

What matters is who she is now.

He cherishes her now more, and cherishes their current relationship more, even though she likes Yan Longyi.

In fact, it didn't matter who she liked, whether it was Yan Longyi, him, or someone else, it didn't matter at all...

Only she matters.

Ling Mohan opened his lips and slowly said, "Ayan protects the world, and I protect Ayan."

"Okay, then you have to beat me first." Si Yan said softly and rowed the boat out.

Ling Mohan picked up the other oar on the side of the boat and rowed with Si Yan.

There was flames and smoke on the river, and the rebel ships were in pieces.

The vanguard of 20,000 people was either killed, wounded, or fled, and more were still floating on the river.

The ship where Xin Rong was located was also blown up and sank.

Xin Rong grabbed a piece of wood floating on the river and called for help from his subordinates.

However, the rebels were too busy with their own affairs to bother with him.

Just then, one of the five hundred rebels came over in a small boat.

"General Xin, I will come to save you." The five hundred masters bowed respectfully to Xin Rong.

Xin Rong looked up and saw that the man was tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard. He looked calm and reliable.

"Quick! Come and rescue this general." Xin Rong waved his hands and shouted to the five hundred generals on the small boat.

The five hundred commanders, Xin Rong, were pulled onto the boat. Xin Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Quickly send this general to the other side."

Of the 20,000 people he brought with him, only a few were left.

Now he had no choice but to return to Yuzhou to reorganize his troops and discuss with Prince Xin, Minister Yang, and his second uncle to renegotiate the plan for attacking Shangjing.

After Xin Rong gave the order, he saw that the people on the boat ignored him and rowed the boat in another direction.

Xin Rong was about to yell when he saw a small boat coming from the opposite direction.

In the light of the burning ship, Xin Rong saw the woman on the opposite boat and was horrified: "Hurry up, this is Si Yan, don't let her discover me."
