Chapter 240: The Boat in the Center of the Lake

"Where?"

"It's him. If you don't believe me, arrest him and interrogate him."

The officer was stunned as he looked at the misty lake and the man rowing the boat.

Jiang Shuyue saw the officer looking at the boat with doubt as it approached the shore.

She pointed to the other side of the lake, "Look, the pleasure boats and tourists are there, why is he here alone?"

An officer scratched the back of his head, "It's not right."

"Think about it, if the criminals rented a pleasure boat and swam to the center of the lake, you wouldn't be able to find him even if you turned the capital upside down." Jiang Shuyue persuaded.

A word awakened the dreamer, and an officer with a clever face waved at several people, "Quick! Catch him, don't let him run away."

The man who had just landed was dressed as an ordinary citizen. When he saw the officer running towards him, he lifted his robe without thinking, paused on the spot, and rose up. After a few rises and falls, he disappeared into the vast night.

What did the officers not understand when they saw this scene? If they were not guilty, why would they run away when they saw them?

The leader shouted: "Go and call someone!"

The officers did not have amazing light skills, so they naturally could not catch up. The best plan now was to quickly pass the news back to the government office.

Jiang Shuyue saw the officers running back, and she said to the remaining officers: "The boat can accommodate three people. Who of you will follow me?"

Before the officers answered, Jiang Shuyue could not wait to walk towards the boat.

"Miss, please stay. The criminals tonight are extraordinary." The officer chased after her with a brisk step.

"Don't talk nonsense. The princess and I have a deep friendship. Let's row the boat together." Jiang Shuyue was anxious and had no time to talk to them.

She stepped onto the boat, which swayed slightly, and she sat down quickly.

Several officers on the shore looked at each other, and the leader said to another officer: "Go find a bigger boat quickly. Reinforcements will be here soon."

Then the leading officer jumped onto the boat with another person.

The officer had no experience in rowing, and the boat started spinning in place after leaving the shore.

"Paddle with your left hand, and pay attention to the balance of your right hand."

Jiang Shuyue had no experience in rowing either. She had seen pigs run even though she had never eaten pork. With her constant reminders, the boat finally steered in the right direction.

"Evenly apply force on both sides."

Under Jiang Shuyue's guidance, the boat slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.

While rowing, the officer said worriedly: "There are all clouds of fog in front of us. The lake is so big. It may be difficult for us to find the hiding place of the criminals on our own."

"Since they can get out, we can find them in. Keep your hands steady and go straight ahead."

The officer also felt that Jiang Shuyue's analysis was reasonable. He suddenly had an illusion that this beautiful woman was calm and composed, and the aura around her was like that of the Jingzhao Yin.

The boat passed through the fog, and another officer stared at the front with wide eyes, holding the handle of the knife tightly in his big hand, as if thousands of troops would appear in front of him.

The humidity on the lake was too high, and after a while Jiang Shuyue's eyelashes were covered with dewdrops.

She raised her sleeves and wiped them, and continued to stare at the front intently.

Suddenly, a suspicious shadow appeared in the distance.

Jiang Shuyue hurriedly said: "Try to be gentle and don't make any noise. It seems to be a pleasure boat in front."

The official quickly took the oar out of the water and let the boat move slowly forward.

Just as the boat was about to stop, a pleasure boat jumped into sight.

"Hey! Why is it so dark?"

"I was afraid of being discovered, so of course I didn't dare to turn on the lights."

Just as the boat was about to approach the pleasure boat, Jiang Shuyue saw a swaying figure in front of the pleasure boat.

Estimating that the other party had at least more than 20 people, she suddenly realized that this was a futile move. She could play the game of disappearing out of thin air to save her life, but the two officials might not be able to do so.

She was eager to save her son, but she couldn't sacrifice two innocent lives.

At this time, Song Yunzhi must have been desperate to kill people to silence them, and there were many experts among the guards around her.

Jiang Shuyue weighed it for a moment. Even if the poison in her hand was successfully thrown onto the pleasure boat, before the drug took effect, there would be enough time for the other party to kill two people.

Then she made a prompt decision and said in a low voice: "Stop, turn around quickly."

A cloud of fog drifted by, and the official also saw the figure on the pleasure boat.

He quickly rowed the oars backwards, and as soon as the boat disappeared into the fog, he heard a low shout from the pleasure boat: "Who!"

"He didn't come back so soon, it must be the fish in the lake jumping." Another male voice sounded.

The official saw that the sound of the oars entering the water startled the people on the pleasure boat, so he quickly slowed down his movements and slowly retreated.

The boat turned around, and the official rowed more smoothly than when he came.

As soon as the boat docked, he saw figures passing by one after another in the distance.

The official was overjoyed, "The emperor sent the Jinyiwei here!"

Jiang Shuyue saw that those people were all as skilled as Gao Mu, and recognized them at a glance. They were not only Jinyiwei, but also Xiao Jingzhao's secret guards.

Looking at the situation, there were quite a few people.

The two officials went ashore, and Jiang Shuyue quickly picked up the oars and rowed hard, and the boat went to the center of the lake like an arrow.

"Hey! Girl, it's dangerous, come back quickly." When the two officials came to their senses, the boat had been swallowed by the thick fog.

"Quick, go to the front to find Lord Lu, we found the hiding place of the criminals."

How could such a rare opportunity to make meritorious deeds be missed? The two officials didn't care about Jiang Shuyue who had gone far away, and hurried to the place where the Jinyiwei gathered.

...

"Disperse, we have to perform official duties here." The two officials came to the dock where the pleasure boat was docked, and saw their colleagues evacuating people from the pleasure boat.

"Where is Lord Lu? We have made a major discovery."

Hearing the shout, Xiao Jingzhao, who had already boarded the pleasure boat, turned around and said, "Bring the person here."

Xiang Song jumped and landed beside the two officials.

Xiang Song brought the person to the pleasure boat, and the two officials knelt down together, reporting impatiently: "Your Majesty, I just went to explore the road. There is a pleasure boat in the center of the lake. It is dark and heavily guarded. The princess must be imprisoned on it."

Xiao Jingzhao's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

"You have made great contributions in exploring the road, and you will be rewarded heavily afterwards."

Thinking of the extraordinary woman who took the risk alone, the leading official said: "Your Majesty, a woman just walked with us."

"Where is the person?"

"She didn't go ashore, but went to the center of the lake."

Xiao Jingzhao waved his hand, "Hurry, let's go first."

Originally, they planned to requisition all the boats to surround the center of the lake. When Xiao Jingzhao heard that Jiang Shuyue went to rescue people alone, he was anxious.

"I'll go tell Lord Lu."

The two officers ran off the boat, and Xiang Song quickly ordered the pleasure boat to start.

The rowers were all replaced by Jinyiwei, and the pleasure boat moved much faster than usual.

Xiao Jingzhao stood at the bow, his eyes swept back and forth across the lake, and his hands were twisted vigorously in his sleeves.

He silently prayed in his heart, Sui Sui's mother, please don't get hurt, I owe you too much, God must give me a chance to slowly make it up to her.

Instantly, all the pleasure boats and small boats at the dock surrounded the center of the lake.

In the center of the lake, the first to discover that the situation was not good were the people of Qingyimen.

"Boss, it's bad, we're exposed."

"Retreat! Save your life."

"Plop, plop."

When Song Yunzhi's guards came to their senses, all the people of Qingyimen dived into the water.
