N-A-A Chapter 1648 The Painted Boat is Strange
Chapter 1648 The Painted Boat is Strange
How could Lu Zhaoling just calmly watch from the sidelines?
After seeing Zhou Shiyue mount the horse, she rushed towards them.
Of course, everyone's attention is on Zhou Shiyue right now, and no one is paying attention to her.
Upon arriving here, she saw the red rope in Shen Xiangjun's hand, which was being used as a cover by the silk cloth to wrap around Zhou Shiyue.
If Zhou Shiyue had grabbed the silk strip at that moment, the red rope would have been tied to his hand.
With just one talisman, this marriage will be truly and forcibly bound together.
Just as Lu Zhaoling was about to make a move, she saw Zhou Shiyue decisively and shrewdly slap the silk cloth back with his palm.
Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but clap her hands, almost wanting to give Zhou Shiyue a big compliment.
Just as Zhou Shiyue struck the lake with his palm, Lu Zhaoling took the opportunity to throw a talisman onto the lake to disperse the harmful water vapor and smoke.
Another wind-controlling talisman spun up with an invisible wind, helping Zhou Shiyue to rise higher, which is why he was able to successfully glide onto the painted boat.
The perilous situation was averted just like that. Fortunately, Zhou Shiyue reacted quickly and was extremely skilled; otherwise, he would have already fallen into the lake by now.
Others may not know what kind of danger lurks in this lake, but Lu Zhaoling does.
If Zhou Shiyue had actually fallen into the lake, he wouldn't have died, but he would have been seriously injured if rescued. It would have been unlikely that he could get married smoothly tomorrow, unless someone carried him there.
Just as Zhou Shiyue landed steadily on the painted boat, the people on the shore seemed to wake from a dream. Some even clapped their hands, praising his skills in amazement. "I had heard that Prince Jin was very skilled before, but I didn't believe it. Tonight, I've seen it for myself."
"Your Highness is truly amazing!"
Although he was a spoiled brat, he was indeed highly skilled in martial arts.
Some people secretly rejoiced that they hadn't provoked Prince Jin too much. Otherwise, if they had offended a highly skilled playboy, wouldn't he have tormented them to death? Even if he sneaked into their mansion at night and beat them up, they might not have been able to catch him.
At this moment, Madam Sheng floated to Lu Zhaoling's side and whispered to her, "Master, there's something strange about this lake! I couldn't get past it just now. Could it be that someone has set up a talisman array here as well?"
Lu Zhaoling narrowed her eyes. "I can tell."
She nodded and said, "There is indeed a rune array, and it's a very ancient first-grade rune array. You weren't on guard just now, so it's normal that you couldn't get through."
The Emperor Emeritus and Frog Brother have now arrived at Lu Zhaoling's side, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
The retired emperor said, "Now that A-Yue has landed on that pleasure boat, she should be alright, right?"
Lu Zhaolin looked at the painted boat.
He glanced at Zhou Shiyue, who was holding onto the edge of the painted boat without moving, and his tone was a little cold.
"No, it seems that the pleasure boat is the strange one. Now that he's on that pleasure boat, he's in danger of being a lamb to the slaughter."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
"Is the pleasure boat Miss Luo Qiu's? Could she also be a heretical cultivator?" Qingmu immediately asked.
They had just seen Lu Zhaoling, so they all gathered around her.
Lu Zhaoling didn't know before that the painting method was Luo Qiu's. Now that she heard Qingmu say this, she immediately glanced at Prime Minister Shen and Shen Xiangjun.
"So it's Luo Qiu's pleasure boat, then something's even more wrong. I need to get on it right away!"
As she spoke, Lu Zhaoling said to the Emperor Emeritus, “Your Majesty, these people must be led away immediately. We cannot let too many people see what happens on the pleasure boat, otherwise I will have difficulty explaining it later.”
Now that the Emperor is here, it is most appropriate for Lu Zhaoling to entrust the matter to the Emperor Emeritus.
The Emperor Emeritus nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. I can make them leave immediately. I'll leave A-Ling to you."
"I won't let anything happen to him." Lu Zhaoling then asked Qingmu and the others to go and help the Emperor Emeritus. They were all guards of the Prince of Jin's mansion, and their words still carried some weight.
The little paper figure darted onto Yu Xu's body, turned sideways, and forcefully slashed across Yu Xu's wrist, leaving a red mark.
Yu Xu also happened to grab the red silk cloth. The red thread under the cloth wrapped around his wrist and touched the red mark on his wrist. The little paper figure instantly stuck to it.
Its heroic sacrifice was so dramatic that the talismans on its body burst into flames. Yu Xu suddenly felt a burning sensation on his hand.
But just as he was about to look down to examine it, the pain from the burn vanished instantly.
Shen Xiangjun, who was being supported by him, suddenly felt a chill in her heart. A mysterious feeling made her look at Yu Xu in shock.
No, she seemed to feel what her father had mentioned before: the feeling that would occur when the threads of fate intertwine between two people.
But she didn't want the marriage thread to stay with Yu Xu for long; she wanted to entangle Prince Jin.
Shen Xiangjun couldn't see the red thread either. She wasn't sure if the red thread had really wrapped around Yu Xu, so she quickly and forcefully pushed Yu Xu away and took a few steps back.
Yu was a little hurt because Shen Xiangjun's sudden push away seemed to indicate that she was extremely afraid of being entangled with him.
How despicable is he?
At this moment, Prime Minister Shen also caught up, grabbed Shen Xiangjun's wrist, and pulled her towards the lake.
"Quickly, quickly, go to the pleasure boat and see how the prince is doing!"
Prime Minister Shen lowered his voice and warned Shen Xiangjun, "Hurry up, you need to find a chance to get on the pleasure boat. If you get on now, you still have a chance. Otherwise, if he gets off the pleasure boat, it will be too late to help you."
The pleasure boat was now heading towards the shore, and at a much faster speed than before. It was now only a step away from the shore.
However, it would be somewhat difficult for Shen Xiangjun to jump onto the painted boat on her own.
At this moment, Prime Minister Shen had no time to spare. He beckoned, and a guard quickly came over.
He bowed his head and said to Shen Xiangjun, "Miss Shen, I apologize for the intrusion."
Then he supported her lower back, lifted her up, and tossed her onto the pleasure boat.
The emperor was both shocked and furious at this moment.
I had just told him that this was a Moonlight BMW, a lucky omen.
Not long after, the horse went mad and has now plunged into the lake.
The horse was still struggling in the lake, and it looked like it was about to sink.
What kind of auspicious sign is this? It's a slap in the face!
When Prince Jin was in danger, the Emperor's heart was in his throat. He hoped that Zhou Shiyue would have an accident at that moment, but he also felt that if Zhou Shiyue died at that time, it would not be good for his reputation.
At that time, some people might say that he plotted to kill the Prince of Jin. Tomorrow is the Prince of Jin's wedding. If he is accused of plotting to kill the Prince of Jin at this time, his reputation as the ruler of the country will be ruined.
