Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 724 Chu Pingsheng: You know nothing about power

A few miles away, on the lookout tower of the Qinglong Tower ship, Zhao Xun, the prince of Jing'an, wearing leather armor and a red-feathered helmet under his armpit, and Wei Wei, the son of the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou navy, stood side by side facing north. When they saw the helmsman of the civilian ship jump off the ship and run away, they both laughed and clapped their hands, making the wooden railings rattle.

"They are indeed a mob. They lost their composure before we even launched an attack."

Wei Wei's father Wei Zhao was from the Qing Party, but that didn't mean Wei Wei would favor Lin Qing. Wang Linquan was just a small wealthy businessman who employed some bodyguards and thugs, only a few hundred people, and yet he occupied the mountain and became the king, wanting to compete with the Liyang Zhao family for the world. It was simply ridiculous.

King Jing'an Zhao Heng had been working in Qingzhou for a long time, so it was normal for a group of Qing Party members who were used to changing their stance to surrender, and Wei Zhao and his son were the best among them. To put it another way, even if it wasn't the case, facing Lin Qing who was determined to rebel, how many Qing Party officials were willing to put their heads on their belts and start a business with him?

"Father, you are worried about this and that, but what is there to worry about? If Qilin Zhenren dares to come to the water battle today, I will let his Fire Qilin take a cold bath in the Spring God Lake."

Zhao Xun was full of resentment. If he had followed his mind, after confirming that Wang Linquan had betrayed the palace and was a spy for the Lin family, he would have led the navy north to attack Laoshan Island and wipe out the entire Wang family. Zhao Heng refused and ordered the navy to stay put. The news that Wang Linquan had raised the flag of rebellion reached Xiangfan. Zhao Heng continued to appease the situation and only let him command part of the navy and block the waters south of Laoshan Island. He was not allowed to attack the island without his order. Okay, he would not attack the island. Two hours ago, the spies deployed on Laoshan Island sent news that Lin Qing boarded the ship and headed south. That meant that the other party was seeking death, and it was none of his business.

"Look, my lord."

Wei Wei took out his bow and shot an arrow at the enemy ship. The cold light flew away with the wind and hit the wooden wall of the rudder tower. The arrow feathers vibrated and made a buzzing sound. The maid who was wearing a yellow skirt and a small blouse was frightened and fell down. Zhao Xun, Wei Wei and the generals on the neighboring ships laughed.

Wei Wei's nickname "Featherless General" was not a compliment from his subordinates. His archery skills were indeed superb. His arrows could crack rocks and penetrate deep into the feathers. With this archery skill, he deserved to be called the best among the younger generation of the Qing Party, and could rival the second-rank junior master. Lin Qing won the third place in the palace examination last year, and was praised by the Qing Party. For a long time, he stole his limelight. This year, Jing'an King Zhao Heng sent troops to deal with the Lin family, and Zhao Xun took him with him. At that time, he killed many men of the Lin family. Now that he has raised troops to Chunshen Lake, he must cut the grass and root out the trouble forever.

"It's a pity that Zhao Kai is not here."

Zhao Xun stroked the tiger pattern on the front of his helmet, feeling quite regretful. Zhao Kai presented three strategies to his father. The worst strategy was to snipe Lin Qing at Chunshen Lake, the middle strategy was to win him over, and the best strategy was to drive the tiger to devour the wolf. Now that Lin Qing had gathered a group of people to rebel, the middle strategy would not work. Only the third and the best strategies were left. However, he did not think this was a multiple-choice question. As smart as he was, of course he would take both.

……

A few miles behind the civilian ship that Green Ant and Cucumber were riding, there was a large ship of similar specifications moving slowly. On board were Li Chungang, Yu Youwei, Jiang Ni, and officers and soldiers of the Beiliang Fengzi Camp. Xu Fengnian and Li Yufu, a rising star of the Wudang Sect, stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the horizon.

The Qingzhou Navy got the news that Lin Qing was sailing south. As Wang Linquan's real master, there was no reason for him to leak such important information. As soon as Lin Qing's ship left Laoshan Island, his ship sailed out from the secret dock on the adjacent island and followed south.

call out!
Li Chungang jumped down from the top of the mast and landed beside the two men: "Lin Qing's ship has stopped, and the Qingzhou Navy warships are approaching quickly. I don't understand why he hasn't taken action yet. Once the warships get close to them, their ship will sink in two strokes."

The young swordsman from Wudang Mountain said, "Two Azure Dragon ships, four Yellow Dragon ships, and a dozen escort warships, thousands of arrows are fired at the same time. Even a master of astronomy can't stop them, right?"

When Chu Pingsheng broke through Lingzhou, he was still on Mount Wudang. He didn't know that Li Chungang had been abused. He just thought that Lin Qing was slightly stronger than Cao Changqing, at the peak of the celestial phenomena, and half a step away from being a terrestrial immortal, so he made this judgment. He also had a little idea in mind when he said this, he wanted to get some information about Lin Qing's strength from Li Chungang, the old sword god.

Li Chungang ignored this and turned left, his veil hat also turned left. Li Yufu and Xu Fengnian looked and saw a small boat floating on the water from behind at a very fast speed. In the middle of the boat stood a man in a gray robe, holding a two-meter-long bamboo pole in his hand, with a cold and fierce face and a murderous aura.

Li Yufu asked, "Is he coming towards us?"

"The person who came here is not a good person."

After Xu Fengnian finished speaking, he glanced at the one-armed sword god who lifted the curtain. That hideous face was quite calm.

Ning Emei stepped forward with her halberd in hand: "Who is that person?"

"good question."

Xu Fengnian praised him but kept silent.

……

Wang Chudong lay on the turtle's back, the lake water dripping from her hair, cheeks, and dress, but she was unaware of it. She stared at the place where Lin Qing fell into the water, asking the turtle over and over again: "Is he dead?" "Is he dead?" The whole process lasted for more than ten or twenty breaths. The calm lake surface began to bubble, and the turtle's head turned sideways. She thought it was the big guy moving, but when she stood up, she found that it was not. The lake began to stir, and a huge vortex slowly formed. The water flowing into the middle drove the turtle's head to turn, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The thick claws under the turtle's armor paddled backwards, trying to carry her away, but at most they were equal to the suction force, and they just circled around the increasingly obvious and larger vortex.

Wang Chudong closed his eyes tightly and hugged the base of the stone tablet tightly to resist the splashing lake water. He shouted loudly, asking the giant turtle what happened, but all he got in return was a low roar filled with fear.

Suddenly, the cavity in the middle of the vortex expanded rapidly, and a huge force was generated. Wang Chudong felt the sky darken. She looked around and was shocked. The giant turtle was sinking rapidly. There were huge waves on both sides, and the drop was more than ten feet. The sunlight was blocked, and only an area above her head could see white clouds. She and the giant turtle were trapped in the abyss, but in front of her, there was a person stepping on the waves and climbing the steps. Wisps of white smoke rose from his soaked scholar's shirt and hair. The first breath was still wet, and the next breath was dry. "Lin...Lin Qing, you...you..."

"You know nothing about power."

Chu Pingsheng waved his hand casually, and Wang Chudong felt a strong force coming, knocking her off the turtle's back and smashing into the cliff-like water wall with a puff. Her hearing was instantly weakened, and she only vaguely saw Lin Qing raise his right hand, and a dark big knife came into his hand. Flames overflowed from the handle of the knife, and it swallowed the knife body in one roll. Wang Chudong could no longer feel the coldness of the lake water, and a warmth flowed through her body. The knife cut through the towering water wall and hit the thick back armor of the giant turtle heavily.

Roar……

A cry of pain rose to the sky. Wang Chudong struggled to swim forward, trying to break free from the water flow, but he only saw the flames subside, the turtle's shell was torn open, and the gushing blood dyed the surrounding turbulent lake water red. The devil-like figure above and below, cast a silver dragon shadow, and went straight into the wound on the turtle's back. Blood spurted again, and the turtle's head exploded. The broken flesh hit the water walls on both sides that were twenty or thirty feet high, splashing bloody water. With muffled sounds of puffing, the silver dragon shadow came back, flying into the sky with blood, and scattered into tiny spots of light three feet in front of Lin Qing. A golden inner pill dripping with blood slowly fell into his palm.

As for the giant turtle, it was already dead. The lake water poured into its wounds and it sank little by little.

Wang Chudong wanted to speak but couldn't. She tried to shout but only made whimpering sounds. She kicked her legs and hands wildly but soon ran out of strength. Even though she grew up on Laoshan Island and was an excellent swimmer, she was choked by the water after taking several gulps of it and became dizzy and unconscious.

Too strong! This Lin Qing is not a human!
She raised her hands and her body slowly sank. Suddenly, a buoyancy lifted her body up. A hand grabbed her skirt and lifted it up. Wow, the whole person left the water. The sunlight illuminated her face and wet body. She looked down before she fainted. The huge water wall closed with a sound like thunder. Waves several feet high spread into the distance.

“You…let go…”

Before she finished saying the last word "I", her hands and feet sank and she fainted.

Chu Pingsheng glanced at Tiannan, picked up Wang Chudong and turned into a shadow, riding away on the wind.

……

"Listen, everyone on the boat, get out of the cabin and surrender immediately. The prince is magnanimous and may spare your lives. If you dare to resist, don't blame me for being merciless."

"See this pole? As long as I give the order, the strong man will loosen the capstan, and your ship will be smashed to pieces. There is no point in hiding in the cabin. The tea is half over, and you don't have much time."

"Come out quickly, come out, you dare to raise the flag of rebellion, don't you dare to show yourself to others?"

"..."

The two Qinglong ships sandwiched the civilian ship on the left and right. The ship that Chu Pingsheng requisitioned was considered a large ship among civilian ships. It had two floors and was about three to five meters high. It had front and rear decks, and a large sail on the mast with a golden turtle painted on it. The turtle was carrying a fairy island, surrounded by auspicious clouds, with couplets on the left and right and beautiful sentences. Now it was sandwiched by the four-story Qinglong ship, like two adults holding hands with a six or seven-year-old child. The top of the iron birch racket, which was as thick as a human waist, was wrapped in a circle of dark iron shell, and the sharp spikes gleamed coldly in the sun. Behind the arrow rack on the parapet was a military crossbow that could fire continuously. The three-edged crossbow arrows carried had a strong armor-piercing effect and were specially customized for the Beiliang cavalry.

The deputy general who had shouted was absolutely right. For a civilian ship of this specification, the Qinglong Tower ship could smash the keel with one blow, sending the people inside to heaven.

Zhao Xun was getting a little impatient. He put on his leather helmet and walked to the starboard side accompanied by Wei Wei. He put his hand on the iron-clad parapet and shouted from above: "Lin Qing, are you scared out of your wits? You dare to rebel with such little ability? Did you really kill Chen Zhibao and Yuan Zuozong? The famous general of Beiliang is just like this. Where is your Fire Kirin? Where is the Fire Kirin that killed everyone in Lingzhou City? Why don't you let it out? Let everyone open their eyes and see the unique and unparalleled divine beast of the Northern Mang Daode Sect."

Wei Wei shouted, "Lin Qing, for the sake of Lin Qiao's past friendship with my father, if you surrender now, I will give you a quick death. If I let the soldiers go down and pull you out, you will suffer the consequences."

The civilian ship was silent, with the hatch tightly closed. Only the arrow he had just shot was swaying gently with the waves. The freshly pickled fish on the rooftop was emitting a fishy smell that was a bit pungent and very intoxicating.

Wei Wei felt bored, and without waiting for half a cup of tea, he raised his right hand with the rhino horn ring on it and said, "I'll count to three. If you don't come out, don't blame me for smashing the boat. One, two..."

Bang!
The cabin door of the civilian ship opened, and a woman wearing a white skirt with a pink shirt on the outside and holding two green night pearls in her hands appeared in the sight of Zhao Xun and Wei Wei. She pulled out the ebony hairpin on her head, and the double flat buns unique to maids fell apart, and her black hair slid down to her waist.

"Zhao Xun, you dare!"

Zhao Fengya looked at Wei Wei and the others and said, "Open your dog eyes and see who I am. Who dares to smash the boat? I will report to my father and kill all nine generations of your clan."
