The men in black did not speak and only walked closer and closer to them. Princess Ming An finally realized that something was wrong and asked Xie Changwu, “Aren’t they Xie Changchao’s men?”
Xie Changwu panicked and did not know how to answer Princess Ming An’s question. He only said, “I didn’t see my brother.”
Princess Ming An yelled, “How dare you! Why don’t you kneel down when you see me?”
However, those people didn’t seem to hear anything and were still approaching. The guard beside Princess Ming An drew his sword and charged into the men in black to protect Princess Ming An. Princess Ming An finally understood that the men in black did not come with good intentions. She suddenly thought of something and looked at the shore. “Where are the other guards? Where are they?”
When Princess Ming An was brought over to the boat, she did not want anyone to hear her conversation with the Xie brothers, so she only brought one guard. However, the others did not leave either. They were supposed to be waiting a distance away from the pleasure boat. After hearing the shouts, they should have rushed over to help. Why was there no one at all?
Xie Changwu was also flustered just like Princess Ming An. He did not come alone today. He had planted some subordinates in the other two boats just in case something happened midway. But why was no one coming to his aide?
Princess Ming An’s only guard was quickly thrown to the side by the man in black. Under the weak fire, blood spewed out of his throat and he was killed.
The wind on the lake howled, cutting their faces like knives. Even so, cold sweat still broke out on Princess Ming An and Xie Changwu’s foreheads.
“Who are you?” Princess Ming An suppressed the fear in her heart and said, “I’m the princess of the State of Qin. If you leave now, I’ll let bygones be bygones and spare your lives. If you don’t leave, my brother, the crown prince, will hunt you down and kill all of you!”
For a moment, Xie Changwu wanted to curse Princess Ming An for being an idiot. She actually revealed her identity just like that. However, on second thought, what happened today was obviously a trap. The other party probably already knew Princess Ming An’s identity. Otherwise, the letter Princess Ming An received would be difficult to explain.
But what could they do at this moment? Xie Changwu thought to himself. He couldn’t possibly shout for help here. Not to mention whether he could be heard or not, even if he was really rescued, he wouldn’t be able to explain why an official of Ming Qi was meeting the princess of the State of Qin secretly in the middle of the night.
At a loss of what to do, Xie Changwu forced himself to calm down. He looked at the men in black and sneered, “Conspiring to murder a princess of a country is a serious crime. If you’re not afraid of death, you can give it a try. Have a taste of what it’s like to be skinned alive.”
Xie Changwu’s words put Princess Ming An slightly at ease. She said, “That’s right. My status is not something you can challenge. If you dare to touch me today, the royal family of the State of Qin will definitely find you and burn you to ashes!”
“Is that so?” A male voice suddenly sounded among the men in black.
The voice was low and hoarse, but it was as mellow as good wine in the winter, sounding extremely pleasant to the ear. Princess Ming An and Xie Changwu looked over and saw one of the men in black walking forward.
Because they were all dressed in black, Xie Changwu and Princess Ming An did not notice this man just now. Now, they felt that this man in black was a little different from others. Under the faint light of the candle, he was obviously taller and straighter. Even the clothes he was wearing could not hide the noble aura spreading out from him, as if he could be distinguished at a glance.
