Rong Ling and Feng Qing were sleeping on the ship when the commotion outside startled them awake.
Feng Qing glared outside with a displeased expression and muttered, "What's happening?"
Rong Ling was about to speak when Nan Feng urgently reported from outside, "Prince, our ship is surrounded. Those people look like lake bandits."
Rong Ling chuckled coldly, "Lake bandits... He's really willing to pay a big price to get rid of me."
These so-called lake bandits were likely Prince Su's troops stationed here. This time, Prince Su committed considerable resources just to eliminate him.
This also showed how much Prince Su truly hated him.
Rong Ling knew why Prince Su hated him; it was because he had supported the Little Emperor's ascension, blocking Prince Su's path.
It's laughable that the person in the Capital also wished to kill him, yet didn't realize that if he died, the next to die would be the one sitting on the emperor's throne in the Capital.
