Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 723 Are you sure you want to have a water fight with me?

At the beginning, there was chaos on Laoshan Island. Chu Pingsheng killed the three officials who jumped the most excitedly, and put a loyal and patriotic scholar into a pig cage and drowned him in the lake. The harsh curses disappeared, and only the sounds of various gold and silver utensils, rare treasures and antiques being moved and people escaping were heard.

Chu Pingsheng didn't care at all, and neither did Wang Linquan. The island prospered because of him and fell because of him. It was a normal thing in the world. As long as it was good for the Xu family, he could even give up the lives of his entire family, let alone Laoshan Island.

It was only after Xu Fengnian left the island by boat that he found out why Wang Chudong suddenly ignored him. It was like Xu Xiao asking Wang Linquan to disguise himself as Lin Qiao and secretly join Lin Qing, and he used the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf in Qingcheng Mountain, but ended up shooting himself in the foot. Fortunately, the strategic direction was right, and Wang Chudong's rice had been cooked. Li Chungang couldn't beat Lin Qing, and he had no good way to break the deadlock. After cutting ties with Wang Linquan by leaving the island, he drove the ship into the secret dock built by Wang Linquan and observed the movements of the Qingzhou navy.

Green Ant and Cucumber knew that Tanhualang was a lawless guy, but they didn't expect that he would play such a big card and rebel with just the Laoshan Island?
Huanggua stared at Zhao Fengya closely, the reason was simple and direct, he was worried that she would run away. Zhao Fengya was quite confused, thinking that she had done something wrong again and upset her master, so she told him everything about how she had been working with Lin Xiao on the boat these days, and fully armed the girl, with dried fruits and candied fruits in her left sleeve, meat jerky and dried fish in her right sleeve, and two sesame salt Hu cakes in her arms, saying that she would get hungry easily when she was growing up, so she prepared some snacks to eat at any time, after all, who would compete with a child with an IQ of only 80 or 90?

This tenacious spirit of fighting wits and courage with power made Chu Pingsheng laugh. Green Ant rubbed her temples and said that she was using her cleverness in the wrong place. The master raised the flag of rebellion. As a princess of Liyang, shouldn't she think about how to escape? Zhao Fengya asked her in return, Lin Qing didn't kill her parents, Jiang Ni dared to stay with Xu Fengnian, why did she have to escape? When the master entered Tai'an City one day, she would think of ways to save her parents. It was called worrying about nothing and looking for trouble when things didn't happen. Huanggua didn't believe it and said that she was deliberately paralyzing the young master and looking for an opportunity to assassinate him. She must not be careless and must keep an eye on her.

People on and off the island all thought that the Qingzhou navy would immediately attack Laoshan Island and eliminate the rebels as a warning to others. In fact, they did not. The imperial warships blocked the waters around Laoshan Island and surrounded it without attacking. Wang Linquan asked Chu Pingsheng what to do. His answer was that if they didn't come, he could go there himself. He ordered the Wang family to stay on Laoshan Island and boarded the civilian ship again to go south to Xiangfan City to talk to the princess.

The ship set sail again, not far from Laoshan Island. Old Xu, who was blowing the wind and keeping watch on the front deck, knocked on the door of Chu Pingsheng's cabin and whispered a few words. The two walked out one after the other. Huanggua was very curious and warned Zhao Fengya to be honest, otherwise she would have no food for the next two days. She followed her master's footsteps to the clean front deck. She thought it was a Qingzhou Navy warship attacking, but it was not. What was approaching the port side quickly was a big turtle. The turtle's back was more than two feet wide and it was carrying a large stele. The fine waves rolled around the tortoise shell, which was faster than the speed of the ship. Wang Chudong, wearing a white dress and with her hair flying in disarray, stood upright with the stele and shouted something anxiously.

Old Xu ordered the helmsman to slow down the boat, and the big turtle also slowed down and moved closer to the side of the boat. Huanggua leaned outward and could barely hear what Wang Chudong said. The gist of it was that not long after they left Laoshan Island, Wang Linquan was kidnapped by the leader of the guards and put on a small boat and headed west. Now the island was in chaos, and the Wang family was in a state of panic. She had to call out her big friend under her feet to take her to chase the boat for help.

"Sir, do you want to return to Laoshan Island?"

Chu Pingsheng stared at the horizon for a moment, told Huanggua that he would be back soon, and then he jumped off the ship and landed on the back of the giant turtle carrying the monument. He told Wang Chudong to chase Wang Linquan, and the giant turtle slowed down and turned around, carrying the two away. When Green Ant got the news and came to the rear deck, the giant turtle had already swam far away, leaving only a small black dot.

Wang Chudong, who was on the turtle's back, looked anxious. Chu Pingsheng seemed very relaxed. He walked around the nearly ten-foot-high stone tablet without any words on it and asked Wang Chudong, "Is there a stone tablet with an inscription?"

"Well, this monument has not changed since I knew it. I don't know who erected it and why they erected a blank stone monument."

"Really?"

"The fact is right in front of us, how could it be false?" Wang Chudong simply sat down next to the stele, bent his legs, revealing his small upturned-toe shoes with red and green embroidery on the sides, and squinted his almond-shaped eyes to gaze at the shimmering lake.

"The Azure Dragon in the east, the White Tiger in the west, the Vermillion Bird in the south, and the Black Tortoise in the north. Legend has it that the mount of the Great Zhenwu is the Black Tortoise. All species of turtles, tortoises, and tortoises in the world respect it as their ancestor. It's really unfortunate that I have a very bad relationship with Zhenwu and I'm always looking for trouble with him."

Chu Pingsheng walked to the front of the turtle, extended his black boots that were emitting white smoke, and kicked the turtle head with one, two, and three kicks, making it swing and roar. Wang Chudong was furious and stood up to scold him, but she heard a light sound, the cold light of the sword, a strong wind, and a sudden rise of her white skirt, almost taking her away. The stone tablet without words on the back of the turtle took the old path of the Jingping Guanyin, and the base with dragon patterns engraved on it broke and slammed into the lake, splashing huge waves several meters high. The lake water soaked Wang Chudong's skirt, and her hair was tangled and dripping.

The old turtle kept twisting its body, roaring in pain, its back tilted, and its four legs flailing. Wang Chudong pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed Chu Pingsheng, but he slapped him to the ground.

"Do you think I don't know? Wang Linquan is on Laoshan Island. He hasn't gone anywhere. The plot that the head of the guards betrayed the Wang family and kidnapped the master to seek credit is all a story you made up to lure me off the boat."

Wang Chudong covered his face, which felt like it was burning with pain: "You know everything? Then why did you get off the boat?"

Chu Pingsheng did not answer her question directly: "I think you should have talked to Wang Linquan." She had indeed talked to Wang Linquan and knew that the aphrodisiac in the tea that night was hardened by her father and given to his daughter: "You forced him to do this, it was all because of you!"

Chu Pingsheng walked to her side, slowly squatted down, hooked her face, and slapped her again. As he wished, her face turned red and symmetrically said: "I'll give you some time to reorganize your words. Did I force Wang Linquan? Or did the Beiliang Xu family force Wang Linquan?"

"..."

"You like Xu Fengnian very much, right? What a pity." Chu Pingsheng stood up with regret on his face.

The giant turtle suddenly became furious, and its body swayed. The waves on the left surged up and rushed onto its back, knocking Wang Chudong into Chunshen Lake. The turtle's head dived down again, and the waves surged up quickly, covering Chu Pingsheng's boots and soaking his Confucian shirt. He lost his support, sank quickly, and disappeared under the water.

After a dozen breaths, the lake water rippled, and a huge blue-black creature emerged from the water, floating a hundred feet away from where Chu Pingsheng sank. Wang Chudong, who was soaked all over, lay on the turtle's back, hugged the turtle's head tightly, carefully looked at the lake surface that had returned to calm, and asked the turtle if he had drowned.

The 800-li Chunshen Lake is vast and boundless. The hermits on Laoshan Island said that the water of Chunshen Lake is a thousand feet deep. If an expert in astronomy falls into Chunshen Lake without tools to cross the lake, he will die of exhaustion. Wang Chudong is full of hatred for the man who took her virginity. Now that the Qingzhou navy has blocked Chunshen Lake and few ships pass through it, it is the best time for revenge. When she learned that Lin Tanhua was on a ship heading south, she planned to trick Wang Linquan off the ship on the pretext that he was kidnapped and take him to the center of the lake to drown.

……

When Chu Pingsheng was sunk to the bottom of the lake by the old turtle, Green Ant and Cucumber waited for a long time for their master to return, and they were both anxious. Zhao Fengya took Xu Weixiong to the deck for a walk, and felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so she turned around and went into the cabin and did not come out.

Old Xu, who was standing on the deck and looking into the distance, suddenly shouted to the two girls to look to the southeast. They saw six small black dots lined up on the horizon, with several smaller black dots protecting them on the left and right wings. Green Ant quickly climbed to the top of the deck and looked into the distance, his face becoming increasingly ugly.

The Qingzhou Navy is the strongest navy in Liyang. They are divided into levels according to size and combat effectiveness. The first one is the Liuya warship, the next one is the Qinglong tower ship, and below that are the Huanglong ships and the Chima and Baiyao ships which are famous for their speed. The fleet that appeared in the front is the first two Qinglong tower ships, with a Qinglong totem on the bow and a red drum on the back. When a battle breaks out, there will be shirtless strong drummers beating the drums to cheer.

In terms of combat capability, the Yellow Dragon ship was wrapped in iron armor and decorated with red lacquer. A giant pole was erected in the center of the ship. A single strike from the pole would break the keel of an ordinary civilian ship. The Green Dragon ship had a dragon tooth mechanism and a giant crossbow to break armor in addition to the pole. There was also a horse shed on the ship so that the upper and lower levels could not hear each other.

Green Ant's heart sank to the bottom. They didn't expect that the Qingzhou navy would deploy such a force to deal with the civilian ships they were on. In fact, there was no need to use the Qinglong tower ship at all. Two Huanglong ships would be enough to sink their ships.

"Green Ant, what's going on up ahead? Are the Qingzhou navy attacking us?"

Huanggua ran to the bow to take a look, then ran back to the front of the ship, looking at his sisters who were facing a great enemy with sweat all over his forehead.

"..."

Green Ant didn't know how to answer her question. The Qingzhou navy was approaching and the situation was critical. The bigger problem was that the master was not on the ship. They were just a few women without a backbone. What should they do next?
Pfft!
The sound of diving from the stern interrupted her wild thoughts. Looking back, she found that the sailors assigned by the Wang family were afraid of the navy warships. They were so scared that they dropped their escape boats and abandoned the big ship to flee north.
