Upon hearing these five words, Jin Changge's expression froze. She turned her face away and stopped looking at Jin Jiande.

The Red Tide Alliance members were all exhausted. Many of them had been injured in the previous fierce battle. Although the foreign guards had been stopped and were retreating, they were being replaced by the Thousand Machine Battalion.

They were very familiar with these Thousand Machine Battalion members, having dealt with them many times before. These people had no humanity whatsoever, only obeying orders from their superiors, and each of them possessed considerable martial arts skills; they were elite assassins specially trained by the Jin family.

At that moment, seeing his sister turn her face away, Jin Jiande immediately waved his arm and said coldly, "Take them down!"

The moment the words left her lips, Jin Changge turned her head sharply, her eyes already filled with tears.

She knew in her heart that things had come to this point, and these people would definitely be executed today, and the one who gave the order was her own brother.

Jin Changge knew that this indescribable sense of contradiction could never be reconciled.

So she reached out and picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground, and made up her mind to die with it.

"Brothers! Let's be brothers again in the next life!" The bearded man was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed loudly and led the crowd to charge forward.

On the other side, the assassins of the Thousand Machines Camp leaped out!

but--

The next moment, the assassins threw several fine iron nets from behind!

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of thuds rang out. Although the members of the Crimson Tide Alliance swung their swords to slash, the Thousand Machine Battalion was prepared. Iron nets covered them, and the assassins swarmed forward and immediately pinned them to the deck.

Jin Changge's pupils widened slightly, his eyes filled with surprise.

She had thought that Jin Jiande would definitely order these people to be killed on the spot, but now they were captured alive. What exactly was her second brother planning to do?

"Knock them all out! Gag them! Take them off the ship! Don't let anyone near them!" Jin Jiande roared.

Then came several muffled groans as the assassins dragged the unconscious members of the Crimson Tide Alliance away. Jin Changge gritted his teeth, planted his knife in the ground for support, and slowly stood up.

But Jin Jiande had already stepped forward alone.

Seeing Jin Jiande approaching, Jin Changge tried to pick up the knife, but he could no longer muster any strength.

However, even if she had the strength, she knew she probably wouldn't point the knife at her grief-stricken brother.

Jin Jiande took a step forward and then reached out to hug Jin Changge tightly.

With a clang, the knife in Jin Changge's hand fell to the ground.

"I..." Jin Changge had barely uttered a word when his head was pressed onto Jin Jiande's shoulder, which didn't appear particularly broad.

"You should have told me if anything happened."

"After all, you are my sister, how could I not help you?" A trembling voice rang in Jin Changge's ears. She turned her eyes and saw Jin Jiande's red eyes.

"Second brother, you can't help me."

"No one can help me, no one..." Jin Changge murmured, his eyes lowered.

Jin Jiande clenched his fists, but then turned around and hoisted Jin Changge onto his back.

"I'll treat your injuries first; you don't need to worry about the rest."

"I will make sure you are safe and sound," Jin Jiande said softly.

He supported Jin Changge with one hand and held a cane in the other, walking step by step towards the outside.

Jin Changge, lying on Jin Jiande's back with her face pressed against his shoulder, said weakly:

"It's no use, Second Brother."

"No one can save me from what I've done tonight."

"Do you know what? I not only killed those foreigners, but I also killed Jin Jianzhong. I even planned to kill my father, but unfortunately, I failed..."

"I...I even had those thoughts about you..."

"Now, do you know how grave the crime I've committed?"

Listening to these murmurs, Jin Jiande, with his head down, bit his lip, feeling as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand and was gradually crumbling.

Compared to the pain of losing a leg at Yanluo Mountain, the pain at this moment is a hundred or a thousand times greater.

It should be said that all the pain accumulated in this life cannot compare to this moment.

His reddened eyes filled with tears, and he finally couldn't hold back and a tear fell.

Even so, he still said softly:

"Really? Luckily you went easy on me."

"Otherwise, I would have lost my life long ago, haha."

"You killed Jianzhong, didn't you? Good riddance! That bastard only had eyes for foreigners. He's dead, so be it."

“Your father didn’t treat you like a human being, marrying you off to this man and that woman. He had no respect for elders at all. You wanted to kill him… that’s… that’s…” He choked up, unable to finish his sentence.

Jin Changge could feel his body trembling and see him constantly shedding tears, so she reached out her right hand and gently stroked his cheek, saying in a voice barely audible:

"Second brother, do you know why I did this?"

With his tears wiped away, Jin Jiande took a deep breath, trying his best to control his emotions, and nodded, saying:

"I know... I know..."

“I’m not stupid, I understand.”

A long sigh came from behind, and Jin Changge lowered his head and leaned against Jin Jiande's back.

"Yes, Second Brother, you've always been a smart man."

"Since you understand everything, you should also know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Jiande blurted out in a trembling voice, "But so what?"

Just then, a bodyguard beside him said in a deep voice, "Your Highness! Please let us help the young lady off the ship. The ship is sinking more and more!"

"It's not far now, I'll handle it. Get the doctor here, we need to treat Yongning's injuries right away," Jin Jiande said in a low voice.
