Chapter 1332: Chapter 1240: Plunging into the River

"Alright, it’s getting late, and I should be leaving now."

Su Pan’er rose and walked out.

The Su family’s clan leader clearly hadn’t expected Su Pan’er to leave so abruptly and hurriedly tried to make her stay.

"Don’t bother trying to keep me," Su Pan’er continued, "The disappearance of Ke’er should be clear in your heart. I’m not afraid to speak bluntly. With Ke’er, the Su Family exists; without Ke’er, the Su Family... ha, is nothing. Reflect on this!"

Having said that, Su Pan’er, paying no heed to the clan leader’s dumbfounded expression, turned and strode away majestically.

Without Ke’er, what would the Su Family amount to?

Yet now, with Ke’er missing, the way this Su family’s clan leader behaved so indifferently infuriated Su Pan’er!

By the time she boarded the carriage, she felt annoyed at getting angry for such a person. After all, her worry over Ke’er’s disappearance had overwhelmed her!

The carriage rocked leisurely forward, crossing along the riverbank and onto the ferry to the opposite shore.

Due to the proximity, Su Pan’er chose to stay in the carriage to rest and recuperate.

Suddenly, intense tremors shot through the base of the carriage, followed by panic-stricken screams. The next moment, there were cries of agony and the sound of heavy objects falling into the water.

"Empress!"

Attendant, terrified, leaped forward attempting to protect Su Pan’er.

But Su Pan’er had already opened her eyes at the moment of the incident. Using the momentum of the carriage’s turnover, she sprung up and flew right out of the carriage.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! —

Arrows hurtled through the air from several different directions, encircling Su Pan’er at the center.

Mid-jump, Su Pan’er was surrounded by the swift arrows. In a moment of urgency, she fiercely flicked her calf, grabbing a dagger which appeared in her hand. Simultaneously, she channeled her Inner Strength into the dagger and swung fiercely...

Clang, clang, clang! —

The dagger and arrows collided, producing a sharp resonance.

Taking advantage of the situation, Su Pan’er rolled and quickly crouched behind the carriage.

Though this sequence of events is slow to describe, it happened in just an instant.

The barrage of arrows continued unabated. The people on the same boat were already panicking, screaming and running chaotically. Some, accidentally hit by arrows, were now lying on the deck screaming in agony. Others, during the turmoil, had fallen into the river and were desperately fluttering.

Su Pan’er’s hiding spot was well chosen, a blind spot from human eyes. One side was covered by the carriage, and in front, several large wicker baskets filled with pumpkins and sweet potatoes provided cover. She only needed to guard against attacks from the other direction.

"Empress!"

Attendant and Mother Zhou, frantic, pulled back the curtain to peek out, just as an arrow whizzed down from the sky, embedding itself two inches from their faces in the carriage, its feathers still quivering right before their eyes. The rushing air current from the projectile made them scream again, hastily withdrawing back.

"Empress! Empress, are you alright? Empress..."

The cries of Attendant were buried among the shouts of the others on the deck.

Su Pan’er didn’t respond; she glanced at the coachman lying on the ground, an arrow piercing his chest, his eyes bulging in death, and focused all her attention on the archers.

On the deck, there were three people, while from the left in the water came four, and three from behind. Several more were standing on the shore, hiding in dark corners, and due to the many ordinary citizens running around, it really confused her investigations.

"Empress, be careful... Ah!"

In the carriage, the attendant shouted loudly, but the next moment, two arrows swiftly flew in, one remaining inside the carriage, while the other passed through the carriage and directly pierced into the wicker basket, leaving only the tail of the arrow exposed.

Su Pan’er, using the wicker basket as a shield, carefully pulled out that arrow and held it in her hand, quietly sensing the outlaws gradually approaching.

Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps...

Five steps, now!

Su Pan’er suddenly rose, the arrow infused with Inner Strength shot out from her hand. Without looking, she took the opportunity to pounce towards the group of people closing in at the front.

Her dagger sliced through...

The sharp tip of the dagger drew a string of blood beads, and began to spray into the air, but Su Pan’er had already moved on to attacking the second man. The assassin charging at her obviously couldn’t stop in time, with a wooden expression he rushed forward as if sticking his own neck to the blade in Su Pan’er’s hand.

The blade passed by, leaving behind a faint white line.

Su Pan’er’s dagger didn’t stop for a moment as she pounced towards the third man.

But behind her, the sound of a swiftly cutting arrow tore through the air.

Her waist suddenly folded sharply, diving forward at a ninety-degree angle, and with her hand extending the dagger forward, it directly plunged into the third man’s heart.

Everything happened as if in the blink of an eye.

From Su Pan’er standing up to shoot the arrow to taking down three assassins, only her pouncing forward was visible to the spectators.

The three people who had rushed up to deal with Su Pan’er now stood frozen.

After a good while, the three men collapsed one by one with a thud, falling on the deck, their bodies twitching incessantly, clearly not surviving.

Su Pan’er then rolled to the other end of the deck, taking cover along the edge of the boat.

The arrows still danced in the air, and the situation on the deck had completely changed from before.

Those remaining on the deck were either hiding in dark corners, were wounded and unable to move, or were dead. And the rest had either fallen into the water involuntarily or had jumped into the river on their own, now ceaselessly fluttering in the water!

These floundering people gave the assassins hiding in the water an opportunity to exploit.

Su Pan’er, blocking the flying arrows for the nth time, sensing the dire situation, lowered her stance even more, vigilantly watching the deck’s edge.

Several assassins in the water were now concentrating at the edge of the boat, silently climbing up.

It was already deep autumn, the morning dew was freezing cold. Although it was evening now, the temperature dropped sharply after the sunset, and staying in the water was a real test of will power.

Those climbing up from the water onto the deck hastened their pace, while Su Pan’er, after a brief ponder, quietly raised her hand and directly pulled a Pearl Hairpin from her head, then squeezed it.

She suddenly leaned out, and the beads from her hand scattered and shot out fiercely.

Plunk! Plunk! Plunk! Plunk!

The sounds of falling into the water occurred almost without any interval, and the four men climbing the deck fell back into the water again.

Immediately after, Su Pan’er also leaped and plunged into the river with a splash.
