Under the sky

Chapter 206

Shen Weichen's martial arts is so powerful that he is invincible, and the Huashan disciples along the way cannot stop him.Gu Qingshang killed two or three people and stabbed her in the face with a spear. Gu Qingshang ducked to avoid it and pierced the disciple with his sword. The disciple held on to Gu Qingshang and Gu Qingshang kicked him away.Another knife struck from behind. Gu Qingshang couldn't dodge and was about to be hit. Shen Weichen's Tang knife separated the man's weapon, and Xia Lijun smashed the attacker's jaw with a punch.

"Bang!" A stone hit the ship's building, and most of the ship's building immediately collapsed. Shen Weichen hurriedly looked up, but Miao Ziyi was nowhere to be seen, and he didn't know if he was safe.Seeing that the enemy's ship was no more than ten feet away from our own ship and was about to be overtaken, we heard a loud noise and the ship's mast was broken.

The three of Shen Weichen entered the ship building and ran towards the belly of the ship. The closer they got to Gou Suo, the more Huashan disciples there were. Even with Shen Weichen's ability, it was difficult to protect the rebels. Fortunately, she and Gu Qingshang wore gold silk leather armor and Xia Lijun's thick armor. They are all top grade and will not be seriously injured.

The three people came to the belly of the ship. A thick iron hook passed through the hull and hooked firmly onto the planks of the ship in a three-claw shape. The surrounding Huashan disciples were fighting with the Qingcheng disciples who came to dismantle the hook rope. Although there were many Qingcheng disciples, , but the cabin is inherently small, and the Huashan disciples protect the surroundings. Even if one is killed, another will climb up along the hook rope, making it difficult to approach for a while.

Shen Weichen shouted: "Sister, protect me!" He rushed forward and used Tang Dao's Qingcheng Juque sword technique, opening and closing widely, making him invincible.Hearing the screams, the Huashan disciples fell to the ground one after another. The Qingcheng disciples were surprised where the reinforcements came from. After taking a closer look, they realized that it was the delicate eldest lady.

Shen Weichen rushed to the hook. The Huashan disciple who was climbing saw that she was about to remove the hook and pointed his spear at her. Gu Qingshang opened the spear and kicked the man into the river.Another person slashed at Shen Weichen with a knife. Xia Lijun roared, raised his fist and hit the Huashan disciple who was holding the knife. When the man saw her bare hands, he was careless and used the knife to chop. Unexpectedly, her gloves were made of fine steel wire. One punch knocked the weapon away, and another punch broke the man's chest. He was kicked to the ground, and the surrounding Qingcheng disciples stepped forward and cut him into pieces.

The hook and claw were stuck on the ship's board very firmly. Just as the Qingcheng disciple was about to use the hammer to smash the board, Shen Weichen punched his left foot hard and kicked three consecutive times at the same place, creating a big hole. The hook and claw followed the fragments of the board and fell into it. In the river, Huashan disciples who climbed up along the hook rope screamed and fell into the water.

Shen Weichen didn't even turn around and ran to the next hook.Without the hook, the Huashan disciples could not climb up the hook rope. The Qingcheng disciples killed the remaining soldiers and were shocked when they saw the big hole kicked out by the eldest lady, and then followed the eldest lady to remove the hook rope.

Shen Weichen removed six hooks in a row. Although he was in the cabin, he felt that the boat was speeding up. Looking from the breach, it was close to the mouth of the river.

Someone came and said, "Miss, Mr. Miao said he was going to evacuate!" It seemed that Miao Zi was fine.

Shen Weichen asked: "Where is Mr. Miao?"

The man replied: "Mr. Miao is personally at the helm."

Shen Weichen replied: "I know." He turned to Gu Qingshang and said, "I'm going to build the boat. Sister, you go first."

Gu Qingshang said: "This is irritating. Didn't we agree to do it together?"

Xia Lijun adjusted her gloves. Her kung fu was not as good as Shen Weichen's, and she suffered some injuries in a few fierce battles.

Shen Weichen nodded: "Let's go then."

The three of them ran to the bottom of the ship.A large hole has been dug in the bilge, and there is a water-proof cabin below. Shen Weichen jumped down, and more than ten Qingcheng disciples were digging out the bottom with sledgehammers.The bottom of the ship was solid and there was a water diversion tank. The bottom had to be cut in several places before it would sink. Gu Qingshang and Xia Lijun each went up to help.

Shen Weichen took the hammer and shouted: "Move back!" Li Guan swung his arms vigorously, and the board cracked with a "snap".Shen Weichen raised the hammer and hit it again. With the third blow, the bottom of the boat cracked and water poured out.Shen Weichen ran to another place and followed the same pattern. He spent a lot of effort and was panting. He turned around and saw that Xia Lijun and Gu Qingshang had also dug a hole each.

The three of them met, and Shen Weichen said: "Let's go pick up Mr. Miao."

The three of them came to the deck and saw corpses everywhere. The Qingcheng disciples were fighting with the Huashan disciples.The ship was still about ten feet away from the mouth of the river. Shen Weichen looked forward and saw a huge ship already in front of him. It was probably less than twenty feet away. He quickly quickened his pace and ran towards the stern helm building.

Miao Ziyi was taking command at the helm, and Shen Weichen shouted: "Mr. Miao!" After finishing his words, Xia Lijun shouted: "Be careful!" and punched out.Shen Weichen looked sideways and saw a figure approaching. He was very fast. He ducked to avoid Xia Lijun's fist and turned around to his side. Shen Weichen hurriedly turned around. A silver light flashed in front of her eyes, faster than lightning. She immediately jumped away. .But after going through a great battle, she had to pull out the claws and dig out the bottom, and most of her physical strength had already been exhausted. This jump was not as fast as before. She only felt a sharp pain in her chest. The sword had already hit her left chest. Although she was protected by the gold leather armor, she still couldn't move. It hurts the flesh.

What a fast sword!Shen Weichen was surprised when he felt a sudden pain in his waist. In this silent and unseen moment, his waist had been injured. After all, she was highly skilled in martial arts and reacted very quickly. In the critical moment, she shrunk her waist and stepped back three times in a row. He stepped forward and did not let the sword penetrate into his lower abdomen.

The other party was about to pursue, Xia Lijun roared and waved his fist to stop him. The man blocked with his long sword, and stabbed Xia Lijun with his short sword in his left hand. Shen Weichen hurriedly pushed Xia Lijun away, and with a "hiss", although Xia Lijun avoided the fatal blow, A long gash was also cut on his waist.

Gu Qingshang stabbed the person with the long sword, but the man used the long sword to block it, and the dagger stabbed Gu Qingshang in the lower abdomen, but Gu Qingshang could barely avoid it.The man flew up with his left foot and kicked Gu Qingshang in the face. Gu Qingshang felt dizzy. He bent his knee and hit his opponent's waist. The man stumbled and the dagger pierced Gu Qingshang's thigh. Gu Qingshang screamed. The sword went to cut Gu Qingshang's neck.

In the flash of light and stone, Shen Weichen held out the Tang Dao and blocked the long sword. She knew who this person was.

Dragon-Slaying Sword Fang toasts!

It turned out that Yan Jiuling saw that the enemy ship was approaching the mouth of the river, and was afraid that the enemy would escape, so he asked Fang Jingjiu to lead a team of elites in a fast boat to pursue them.Fang Jingjiu has great martial arts skills and can board the ship without hooks. He has killed many Qingcheng disciples and was about to occupy the helm when he happened to see Shen Weichen going upstairs.He knew that this eldest lady was very skilled in martial arts and extremely difficult to deal with, so he hid in a dark place and launched a sneak attack. Once he made a move, he transformed into a dragon and a snake. Although he failed to succeed, he also injured Gu Qingshang and Xia Lijun.

He led a group of people, and at this time he was fighting with the Qingcheng disciples around them, clearing a space in front of the helm.Fang Jingjiu didn't say anything at the moment. He whirled around and stabbed Shen Weichen's thigh with his dagger. Shen Weichen avoided it. Fang Jingjiu took a step forward and stabbed straight with his long sword. Shen Weichen remembered Qi Ziguan's teachings and didn't care about the length. He gritted his teeth and stabbed his chest and abdomen. He retreated and stabbed out with Tang Dao.

Gu Qingshang and Xia Lijun exclaimed at the same time, aren't they going to die together?But unexpectedly, Fang Jingjiu withdrew his sword to avoid it, and turned around three times in a row to Shen Weichen's side, holding out the long sword slowly and the short sword quickly at the same time.

Shen Weichen didn't care about his speed, he just stabbed Fang Jingjiu in front of his face. Fang Jingjiu knew that even though the sword could severely damage Shen Weichen, he would also die, so he had to retreat.Shen Weichen took advantage, took a step forward, and stabbed out with Tang Dao continuously, all in a fight to kill both of them. Fang Jingjiu was forced to retreat continuously.Gu Xia and Gu Xia thought that Shen Weichen had the upper hand. When they reached the fifth sword, Fang toasted and refused to retreat. He swung away Shen Weichen's Tang sword with his short sword, handed out the long sword, abandoned the dragon snake and changed to the weaker walking dragon snake. This time, it was Shen Weichen who avoided the situation.

It turns out that although the method of breaking the dragon and snake transformation taught by Qi Zigai is useful, it only applies to situations where the two of them have not suffered any losses and can use their full strength to fight against each other.Not long after Fang Jingjiu boarded the ship, she had a lot of energy. Although Shen Weichen had practiced the Three Pure Supreme Mental Techniques to the first level, and his physical strength was better than before, but after long battles, his real strength was depleted. Fang Jingjiu exchanged a few moves with her, and felt that she Her inner strength was not as strong as when they first met, so she immediately judged that she was not strong enough, so she simply gave up the dragon-snake transformation and switched to the dragon-snake transformation. The short sword luck made her true power match her Tang Dao, and the long sword slashed quickly, and the long sword matched the short one. It is easier for soldiers to exert force, but it is more difficult for Shen Weichen to hold a sword.

Speaking of which, Fang Jingjiu also learned this trick from Qi Zigai.In the battle in Jiangxi, Qi Zigai used this method to defeat his dragon-snake transformation.

The two sides exchanged a few moves, but Shen Weichen only felt his arms were sore and weak, and it was difficult to block. Gu Qingshang saw that Shen Weichen was weak and ignored his thigh injury. He limped and grabbed the general's sword and handed it out. Xia Lijun walked around behind Fang Jingjiu and punched.The three of them were attacking in a circle, and Fang Jingjiu had no choice but to protect his whole body with his long and short swords. He kept turning around to dodge. His movement skills were really weird. He made several turns, forward and back, the long sword left and right, and the short sword stabbed and slashed. , it is difficult for three people to gain the upper hand even if they join forces.

Gu Qingshang and Xia Lijun's martial arts skills are far inferior to Fang Jingjiu's. It is especially difficult for Xia Lijun to deal with Fang Jingjiu's martial arts with a pair of physical fists. However, it is Xia Lijun who poses the greatest threat to Fang Jingjiu at the moment.It turns out that Xia Lijun knew that Fang Jingjiu was a powerful enemy and would attack him at any time without any regard for defense. In normal times, Fang Jingjiu would have killed Xia Lijun with a sword, but Miss Shen's attack speed was even faster than hers. At the same time as Xia Lijun's critical point was penetrated, he also had to penetrate a transparent hole in his waist and abdomen. The situation was more dangerous than that of the inexplicable boy who failed to hit last time.

This group of people from Qingcheng are really annoying. Every man and woman doesn't play their cards according to the rules.

The three of them made more than ten moves, and Shen Weichen's right hand became more and more sore and weak. Fang Jingjiu noticed that she was weak, so he swung the Tang sword away with his short sword, and was about to thrust out with the long sword.Shen Weichen couldn't dodge, and suddenly took out the Emei Thorn to hold Fang Jingjiu's long sword. Fang Jingjiu said "Hey", slashed with the short sword, and stabbed with the long sword. Shen Weichen's right hand was weak, so he raised the Emei Thorn with his left hand to block it, and used the Tang Dao with his right hand to block it. Although his short sword is different from the Dragon Snake Transformation, it is somewhat similar when used with long and short weapons.

These moves disrupted Fang Jingjiu's moves. Gu Qingshang took the opportunity to use Hengshan's "Three Plum Blossom Movements" and hit three vital points on Fang Jingjiu's chest with his long sword. Fang Jingjiu was in a hurry and had to retreat.Xia Lijun punched him in the face, and Fang Jingjiu turned his head to avoid it. After all, Iron Fist Sect's punches and kicks were unique.Fang Jingjiu felt severe pain in his chest. He turned his dagger and thrust it into Xia Lijun's arm. First and foremost.

Miao Ziyi was frightened when he saw Fang Jingjiu rushing towards him. Shen Weichen had already guessed Fang Jingjiu's purpose and caught up from behind. He threw the Tang knife. Fang Jingjiu turned around and opened the Tang knife. Shen Weichen had already taken out another Emei thorn and stabbed him.The four of them were fighting together again. There were three or five guard disciples in the helm tower, but their martial arts were low and they couldn't get close.

Gu Qingshang shouted: "Mr. Miao, run away!" Miao Ziyi looked outside and saw that the warship was already at the mouth of the river, only a few feet away.He said: "It's still a little bit worse!"

At this time, the speed of the ship was getting slower and slower. It was expected that the enemy ship was catching up and pulling it. The warship suddenly stopped suddenly. Miao Ziyi was taken aback and shouted: "Oh no, I can't move!" The four of them were fighting happily, with swords and swords flashing, but he didn't dare to get close, so he hurriedly climbed out of the window. He didn't know how many ships were hooked on the warship. Looking from a distance, he saw that the enemy's ship was approaching, and he was about to hand over.

Fang toasted and said: "We can't stop you, why don't you run away quickly?"

Miao Ziyi shouted loudly: "Sail, turn left!" He got back to the helm and risked running to the helm to grab the steering wheel.The steering wheel was heavy and usually required three or five people to turn it. At this time, the warship was leaking and the bottom of the ship was sinking, making it more difficult to control. He only had one hand and lacked strength, so he hurriedly shouted: "Here, help! Turn it all the way to the right!"

Three disciples grabbed the steering wheel and turned it to the right. Seeing that it was too late, Miao Ziyi shouted: "Is there anyone else? Hurry! Someone come and help!"

Seeing that he was so anxious, Shen Weichen knew that it was important, so he forced Kai Fang to toast, took a few steps forward, inserted the Emei thorn into the gap of the steering wheel, pulled it down with all his strength, and finally turned the rudder. Although the warship could not move, it could not move. Slowly cross to the left.

Fang Jingjiu was not restrained by the person with the highest martial arts skills. He grabbed him from behind and swung his sword. Shen Weichen felt a pain in his back. He didn't know the depth of the wound.Xia Lijun roared and threw Fang Jingjiu to the ground. He kept swinging his iron fist on Fang Jingjiu's face. Fang Jingjiu raised his arms to protect his head and face. The beating caused severe pain in his arms. He pushed Xia Lijun away with his feet.Fortunately, Gu Qingshang was injured in the thigh and was unable to walk. Fang Jingjiu narrowly avoided the fatal sword strike on the chest, but was inevitably hit on the back. He quickly stood up straight and stabbed Gu Qingshang with his long sword.Gu Qingshang raised his long sword, Fang toasted and turned around, thrusting the dagger into Gu Qingshang's waist.Shen Weichen was shocked. Emei stabbed Fang to toast, but his hands and feet were sore and he was exhausted.Fang Jingjiu's dagger was not hindered at all. Gu Qingshang had no choice but to close his eyes and wait for death.

Suddenly there was a loud sound of "Bang!", and the ship shook violently and tilted. Everyone couldn't stand upright. They all staggered and fell to the ground. Fang Jingjiu's sword actually stabbed the ship in the air.

This didn't stop. The right side of the ship was high and the left side was low. It almost capsized and everyone slid to the left.Fang Jingjiu couldn't stand up, so he slid towards Shen Weichen. Shen Weichen was leaning against the ship's plank. When he saw Fang Jingjiu sliding towards him, he inserted his Emei thorns into the wall panel to use his strength. He used his remaining strength to kick out with his feet together. Fang Jingjiu was kicked in the side of the chest and screamed. With a sound, his body made several circles and slid upwards like a windmill, looking very funny.

The ship tilted so much that Fang Jingjiu had just turned to the door of the wheelhouse and slipped down again. He focused all his efforts on his swords. He couldn't even stand up in this place. If he went down to fight with Shen Weichen, he would be beaten to death?He hurriedly inserted the dagger into the floor, endured the pain and slowly climbed up.

After a while, the boat sank again, with great ups and downs, knocking several people two feet off the ground.Fang Jingjiu rolled around a few more times and disappeared without a trace. Shen Weichen stood up and looked out the window. The boat actually moved slowly towards the mouth of the river.

It turned out that Miao Ziyi knew he couldn't leave, so he deliberately pushed the hull of the ship sideways. The Huashan ship was unable to dodge, and suddenly hit it, almost knocking the warship over. Only then did the violent jolts occur that saved Gu Qingshang's life.Miao Ziyi used this strength to catch the wind and move the warship several feet horizontally, slowly drifting towards the mouth of the river.

Miao Ziyi shouted loudly: "Run away! The boat is going to sink!" He climbed out of the window and jumped into the water to escape.Shen Weichen helped Gu Qingshang and Xia Lijun up, and the three of them ran to the side of the boat. They saw Qingcheng disciples jumping off the boat to escape, and Huashan disciples also escaping back to their own boats, so they inserted the Emei thorn back into their waists.The three of them jumped down at the same time and swam to the shore. The Five-Tooth warship sank slowly behind them, blocking the mouth of the river. Several small warships could not pull it up, so they had to abandon the hook rope to avoid being implicated.

Huashan drove a boat to chase him. The Huashan disciples stood on the boat and stabbed the Qingcheng disciples who fell into the water with long spears. The river gradually turned red with blood.Shen Weichen couldn't bear it and saw another boat approaching them, so he turned around and swam to the river.

The three girls were each injured. Shen and Gu couldn't take off their golden silk armor, so they sank when they entered the water. They had to swim upstream desperately. Shen Weichen's moon bow was even more cumbersome, but it was a gift from his father and he couldn't bear to throw it away. Xia Lijun's leather armor Shen Weichen stretched out his hand to pull her, but Xia Lijun pushed it away.Shen Weichen knew that she didn't want him to get hurt because of her, and Gu Qingshang also said: "Sister, escape by yourself, ignore us, and just accept your destiny!"

How could Shen Weichen ignore it?Suddenly a wave hit, and Shen Weichen took a sip of water before he surfaced.Looking back, I saw the Huashan boat chasing me, so I had to swim forward with all my strength. After swimming for a long time, I felt my hands and feet were sore and weak. It was far away from the shore and it seemed that I couldn't reach it no matter what. I looked around again and saw that Gu Qingshang and Xia Lijun were nowhere to be seen.Shen Weichen called out to his sister a few times, but when there was no response, he became even more panicked. He felt dizzy and choked a few more times. Seeing Huashan ships in the distance, he had to cheer up and swim forward.

Shen Weichen didn't know how long he swam. It might not have been a long time, but Shen Weichen just felt very tired. When he finally landed, he could hardly stand up.

It's not safe yet... She turned back and looked at the river. There was already a Huashan boat approaching the shore to capture the Qingcheng disciples who came ashore.

Gotta go faster.Both sides of Yinghu Lake are mostly hilly and mountainous. Shen Weichen saw mountains and forests in front of him, which were very hidden, so he walked towards the mountains and forests.

She didn't know where Gu Qingshang and Xia Lijun went. Did they drift ashore safely elsewhere, or were they chased by boats and stabbed to death on the river?Or was he exhausted and buried in the belly of a fish, or was he captured?
Shen Weichen didn't even know that she was so tired and cold, her steps were heavy, and her wounds were extremely painful. If she hadn't held on in one breath, she would have almost fainted, and she staggered into the depths of the mountain forest with all her strength.

Ji Shaoguang and Xie Gubai's ships landed in Jinzhou one after another. Xie Gubai immediately ordered the luggage to be packed. Zhu Menshang and Ji Shaoguang stood on the shore waiting for Shen Weichen and others. After waiting for a long time, no one was seen.A spy came to report that Miao Ziyi sank the warship at the mouth of the river to block the river. He planned to ask Shaoguang about the whereabouts of the eldest lady, but no one knew.

Taking advantage of the Huashan ship being blocked, Xie Gubai ordered small boats to be used to pick up the remaining soldiers along the coast. After a long time, the ships picked up more than 300 disciples one after another. Even Miao Ziyi came back, but Shen Weichen and the others were not seen. Ji Shaoguang hurriedly stepped forward to ask. .When he heard that the warships had fought hard to the end to block the mouth of the river, Ji Shaoguang cursed Miao Zi for being righteous and ignorant. He was anxious in his heart and asked Xie Gubai to send people to search along the coast.

Xie Gubai said: "If the eldest lady is safe, she will return on her own. Sending people to look for her will delay the military plane. Huashan will soon move away from the sunken ship to pursue her. We must march immediately."

Ji Shaoguang was so furious that he took off his armor and threw it to the ground, saying angrily: "It's because of your wishful thinking that you, a madman, have brought so many people to such a dangerous situation!"

Xie Gubai said: "The matter has come to this, and we cannot retreat."

Ji Shaoguang said: "This is not your decision! I asked the local residents that there is a mountain road to the west of Jinzhou that can go directly to Dazhou!"

"I know that road." Xie Gubai said, "It is a steep mountain road. You have to cross Bashan Mountain. The journey is difficult and dangerous."

"It's a dangerous road so they can't catch up!" Ji Shaoguang said, "If they dare to chase, one man will guard the barrier and ten thousand people will not be able to block it. Only a small number of troops can block the intersection! When the eldest lady is found, we will be safe Return to Hanzhong!" He paused, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Since you knew there was this way, why didn't you tell us? You just wanted to trick us into risking death, right?!"

Xie Gubai said: "Mr. Ji has inquired about the return route, but has he inquired about the situation in Qingcheng?"

Ji Shaoguang was stunned and asked, "What's going on?"

Xie Gubai said: "During the time we took the boat to move westward, Huashan has captured Bazhong and Nanchong, and has advanced to Guang'an, and has reached the foot of Qingcheng."

Ji Shaoguang said angrily: "That's nonsense!"

Xie Gubai said: "This place is only five hundred miles away from Hanzhong. Hanzhong is a granary. All the grain and grass going south from Huashan Mountain are allocated there. It has the best information on the war situation."

Ji Shaoguang said: "I haven't heard about this!"

Xie Gubai said: "Mr. Ji only asked about the route home. He never asked about the situation of the battle. Of course he didn't hear about it."

Ji Shaoguang was stunned. This was true. He had never asked about the war situation in the south.According to his thinking, Bazhong was extremely dangerous and difficult to overcome, and Huashan was definitely insurmountable. He did not know that Yan Zhaochou used a trick to trap the Bazhong defenders and took a detour to Nanchong. He never imagined that Bazhong would already be captured in just a few months. , Huashan is still approaching the foot of Qingcheng.

Ji Shaoguang said: "Anyway, find the eldest lady first! If you kill the eldest lady, let's see how you explain it to the boss!"

Zhu Menshang, who was silent at the side, suddenly said: "What do you want to explain? My little sister voluntarily broke off the throne and sacrificed her life heroically. This is how she reported it when she got to the head."

Ji Shaoguang felt that these words were rebellious and glared at Zhu Menshang: "When will it be your turn to speak?!"

Zhu Menshang scolded: "Fuck you, when it comes to fighting, I don't know a damn thing. I just watch you die. But speaking of my little sister, does your master really value his apprentice? Is she so stupid that she doesn't know the danger? She Isn't it to let other ships retreat first to save a dozen more ships, save the lives of hundreds or even thousands more Qingcheng disciples, and keep the capital for the attack on Hanzhong? If in the end it's just a round trip home, the little sister is really here to have fun ?You look down on your apprentice so much?"

Zhu Menshang became more and more angry as he scolded, and yelled loudly: "You are a Qingcheng general after all, just like a Qingcheng general. When doing Qingcheng general's business, don't call me Miss or Miss all day long." Don't stop! Mom, are you crazy about wanting to be a lady? How about I help you cut and soak the wine? Be tough and do what you're supposed to do!"

Ji Shaoguang was scolded by this and was speechless for a moment. He remembered that as a Qingcheng general, he should have put the battle situation first, but because Shen Weichen was in the ranks, he was timid.He pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Xie, the rest is up to you. March when it's time. Ji will not interfere. Please be sure to take down Hanzhong."

Xie Gubai ordered all the ships to be submerged in the middle of the river. From then on, it was all land battles. Zheng Bao's skills were not needed. He only left one ship for him and a few disciples to return to Xiangyang Gang. He also picked a few strong and good horses and chose Ten people returned to Qingcheng along the mountain road to report the news, and then sent people to burn down the dock. After a short rest, they marched westward.

"Thank you for speaking for me." Xie Gubai said to Zhu Menshang, "If Mr. Ji refuses to accept it, I will not be able to order this team."

Zhu Menshang grabbed Xie Gubai's clothes and said in a deep voice: "Damn it, you don't know how angry I am! If you weren't sick, I would have beaten you long ago!"

"If something happens to my little sister, even if my coughing doesn't kill you, I will definitely beat you to death!"

Xie Gubai whispered: "I...ahem...I know."

When Zhu Menshang heard the difference in his tone, he suddenly felt his hands heavy, and Xie Gubai had already fainted.
