Shen Leng got Chen Ran to send Uncle An home. He leaned against the wall and gasped for breath for quite a while. He did not know the name of that assassin, but he knew for a fact that he was close to getting killed off just like that, just like the water in Nanping River. It looked calm on the surface, but nobody knew about the impending danger lurking around the corner.
After that he came to realize one thing - he was no longer the Shen Leng who just joined the military, and neither was he the Shen Leng who just started learning from Mr. Shen. He was all the more not the Shen Leng who worked as a coolie carrying heavy loads of things to the river bank. He was now a Shen Leng who made others jealous and envious of him.
Hence, even if something like that did not happen today, it would happen more frequently in the future.
“You really don’t want to go back to take a rest?”
After sending Uncle An back, Chen Ran returned and saw tha
Shen Leng brought Wang Gendong over and introduced the troops to him. By now, this regiment of troops was considered to be well-equipped. Unwittingly, Shen Leng had already reached Cen Zheng’s level, and it all happened so fast that even Shen Leng himself had not enough time to adapt to those changes. In his following days to come, he would not be given much time to adapt in every single step he took. Otherwise, he might fall behind others.Just as always, be it in normal or additional training sessions, his subordinates were already very familiar with Shen Leng’s pace and did not complain about it. A while ago, somebody had nothing better to do and decided to evaluate the different regiments within the Navy to see which one was the strongest. Shen Leng’s troops emerged victorious. Presently, the Navy already had nearly 50,000 soldiers. According to Great Ning’s military system for combat soldiers, two five-man squads formed one ten-man squad; ten ten-man
Jiangnan’s Garrison B.Bai Shangnian, who got demoted previously, had not been restored to his former post. However, this did not affect his absolute authority in Garrison B. Jiangnan was of utmost importance in Great Ning; it provided a steady flow of taxes, in the form of money and grain, for Great Ning. Putting the three or four divisions in the northwest, could not even make up half of Jiangnan. This proved how populous and affluent it was. Hence, the previous emperors of Great Ning had always valued Jiangnan highly. The soldiers who were stationed there were also considered to be the elites of elites. Apart from Jingji’s Garrison A, every single garrison could not be compared to Garrison B, be it in terms of scale or equipment. Garrison A of Jingji was extremely strict; after all, it was where the capital was. It was also rumored that Bai Shangnian was rather laxed with his subordinates, hence, they were very loyal to him.Bai Shangnian w
A man, wearing Bai Shangnian’s soldiers’ uniform, leapt over the wall of the courtyard. He was very swift. The moment he landed on the ground, a couple of crossbow arrows struck the wall. If he was just a second slower, he would have been shot. The young man turned around and looked. There was worry in his eyes.He was not worried about whether or not he would die - he was worried about whether or not he would be able to disseminate such an important information…he did not expect to reap such a big harvest. If this news were to get out, Bai Shangnian would definitely die without a doubt. Hence, Bai Shangnian would not let him go no matter what. No reinforcements.At that time, when he entered Garrison B, Liu Yun Sect’s head told him before that in order to keep it an absolute secret, he would not arrange for any reinforcements for him. Thus, without any contact, any mistakes would not be made. He had been hiding amo
Shen Leng did not expect Hei Yan to be waiting for him in the tent the moment he got back to the Navy’s camp. From the looks of it, it seemed as though something had happened. There were two pots of wine on the table. That strong and unyielding man lowered his head, and the ground next to his feet was wet.“What happened?”“Drink with me.”Hei Yan lifted his head. His eyes were exceptionally red. Shen Leng lifted the two pots of wine on the table. He pulled out the cork of one of them and passed it to Hei Yan. He opened the other one for himself. “Something happened to one of your brothers?”“Yeah…” Hei Yan smiled. However, that smile on his face made one’s heart ache. A good brother.“A good brother.”He tilted his head upwards as he chugged the wine. His smile was rigid. Thereafter, he buried his head in his hands and started crying. “I cannot cry in front of my Liu Yun Sect b
The Navy’s battleships were split into two batches before they set off. One of them was led by Zhuang Yong, headed straight for Yanping Island. The other batch was led by Shen Leng, headed for Ningwu’s Garrison B to receive their combat soldiers. The majestic fleet left the Navy’s camp. On both sides of the river banks, several civilians stopped in their tracks to watch. People were yelling and cheering continuously. Everything was going according to plan. They had made preparations for several days, so it was impossible for anything to happen. The troops left far into the distance in a long line. The people who crowded around to look also gradually dispersed. Shen Leng took opportunity of the ongoing clamor to bring his men into the woods right outside of the Navy’s camp. Yang Qibao was a little worried; up until now, the general still had not said what they were going to do. Even the troops decided to leave the camp right before they were about to board
Shen Leng kicked Mu Liu’er in the lower abdomen, kicking her back into the room. He turned around and shut the door tightly.“Who are you?!”Mu Xiaofeng stood up abruptly. “Somebody!”Shen Leng lifted his hand and pulled out the dagger from Mu Liu’er’s head. The dagger spun and flew out, heading straight towards Mu Xiaofeng. Instinctively, Mu Xiaofeng dodged it. Just when he recovered from his shock, the man in black had already appeared right before him. To put it more accurately, the fist of the man in black had arrived before his eyes. Ever seen a fist as big as rim of a bowl?Bam!That fist hit Mu Xiaofeng directly in the mouth. His lips immediately cracked upon impact. A few bloodstained teeth flew out of his mouth, while a few of them headed straight for his throat. He had no choice but to swallow them with much difficulty. Furthermore, he had a mouthful of blood.Mu Xiaofeng was unable
Shen Leng stood on the boat and kept thinking about a problem - how should he face Zhuang Yong? Mu Xiaofeng was definitely not included in Zhuang Yong’s plans. And when Zhuang Yong asked Shen Leng yesterday, ultimately, Shen Leng did not tell him he was going to take action on him. In Shen Leng’s eyes, if it was time to take action, one should not hesitate. If he were to let go of such a rare opportunity, he would definitely regret it in the future. When he made the decision to kill Mu Xiaofeng, he did not consider whether the imperial court was stable or not, and all the more he did not worry about what His Majesty would think.He’s my enemy - why do I have to consider what others think about it?That day by the river bank, Mu Xiaofeng got someone to call Shen Leng and Master Cha over. Mu Xiaofeng had an evil look in his eyes when he looked at Master Cha. Hence, from that day onwards, Shen Leng had been thinking about how he should seek reven
Mr. Shen felt that he was no longer the same as he used to be. He actually got fooled into feeling touched by that brat’s words. Could it be that the older one became, the easier it was for them to forgive the younger generation’s mistakes?When he first found Shen Leng, was he the same as he was now?He took a bite of the meat and realized that it tasted better than it did earlier on. He did not know if it was attributed to the changes in his emotions. “You can fool me, but how can you fool Zhuang Yong?” Mr. Shen asked Shen Leng earnestly, because it was a very serious question. Zhuang Yong was not Mr. Shen. Even if he was like a mother hen who treated Shen Leng like one of her chicks, after all, he was the commander of the Navy, and the person working for His Majesty. He was also Great Ning’s general. What he had to consider was entirely different from what Mr. Shen was currently thinking about.Initially, when he
