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
The three Garrison B armies arrived at Ningwu’s official dock according to plan. The three generals who were leading those three armies had received orders from General Bai Shangnian. The Navy Weiyang General Shen Leng was the commander-in-chief of the troops. The three of them had to follow his orders.The three men were more or less unhappy with the arrangement, since after all, Shen Leng was too young and had too little experience, while on the other hand, every single one of them worked desperately hard to climb their way up to Class A Fifth pin over the course of at least ten years. It had been less than two years since Shen Leng joined the military and yet he had achieved what they did in ten years. If one were to say that they did not have any resentment towards him, even they themselves would not believe it. However, the soldiers of Great Ning were valiant and that meant that they would listen to military orders and not go against authority. Since
When Shen Leng’s fleet entered Taihu’s waters, they did not go further. Instead, they stopped by the bank to rest and reorganize. They were able to vaguely see several masts over at Yanping Island. How was he going to fight this battle? Standing on Yanping Island surveying all round, looking at the panoramic view; a sneak attack? Not possible at all. After the ships were docked, the three Garrison B generals went to look for Shen Leng to see what he had planned. In the end, they were informed that Shen Leng was not in the ship. Upon arrival, he switched over to a small boat and went to survey the topography of Yanping Island. The three of them were somewhat annoyed and vexed. The young commander-in-chief seemed to be continuing in his own way without the intention of consulting them about anything.Even though General Bai Shangnian did inform them to follow Shen Leng’s military orders, the three of them were not of a lower rank compared to Shen Leng. For S
After Zhuang Yong came back from Bai Shangnian’s, he was unable to stop worrying. That fella Shen Leng never once followed the rules when handling things. Whenever he felt that he could take action, he did. Even though the person he killed was Mu Xiaofeng, a significant person who was able to influence the entire political situation. If this piece of news were to travel to Changan city, it would wreak havoc. By then, how heartbroken would Mu Zhaotong be?What would His Majesty do in order to appease Mu Zhaotong? Even though he had already expected a problem to arise within the Navy first, just like that, everything was being disrupted by Shen Leng… Zhuang Yong could not help but feel perplexed on behalf of Bai Shangnian and those people. If Bai Shangnian knew about Mu Xiaofeng’s death at this moment, would he still try to kill him?Thereafter, he could not help but forced a laugh. What’s happening to me? How can I b
On the second day, in the morning, Zhuang Yong packed up and brought his soldiers with him to Mount Hulu, on the southwest part of Yanping Island. This was the drill tactic that he drew up, hence, naturally, it could not be changed easily. According to the plan, Bai Shangnian was in charge of overseeing the central army, commanding the combat soldiers to lay out a defense on Yanping Island.There were almost 20,000 soldiers on Yanping Island. Shen Leng wanted the probability of winning by a surprise move to be almost zero. Fortunately, both parties knew that for their impending battle, they would not be crossing swords during the drill. Only the soldiers were earnestly preparing for the war. Coming in contact with the higher-ups made them feel worried. They were simply waiting for the people who should die to die, and the people who should get promoted to promote after this battle. When Zhuang Yong was on his way there, he received the news about Bai Shang
Bai Shangnian turned around and saw a young man in white and managed to guess his identity, especially since his iron rod was a weapon that had quite a reputation in Changan city. When people in the underworld mentioned Hei Yan and Bai Ya, naturally, they would talk about their iron rod and huan shou dao. Hei Yan seemed to be a little more firm and dauntless compared to Shen Leng; all he used was a quick, fine iron rod. On the other hand, Bai Ya looked more graceful and elegant, like a scholar. Nobody would have expected that what he loved the most was his huan shou dao.“Liu Yun Sect’s outreach is truly far.”Bai Shangnian narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was not scared at all. He would never truly respect a person from the underworld. To a general like him, he regarded the killings and fights in the underworld as children playing house - immature and ridiculous.“Liu Yun Sect’s involvement in affairs is farther and deeper than
