Chapter 45: Visitors from the Xuanzhen Division

After Wang Deli put away his bow, a smile appeared on his face.

Behind him were dozens of armored soldiers, obviously they came prepared.

On the deck, Zeng Shilin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the people on the shore of Shuiyun Island.

When his eyes met Zeng Anmin's from a distance, his brows furrowed deeply.

"hehe."

Zeng Anmin felt a little guilty.

Can that be called calculation between the two of us?

He just cast his eyes towards Qi Linxian who was sitting on the boat on the shore and reminded him loudly:

"Don't let him get away!"

Qi Linxian's face was extremely gloomy at this time. He obviously didn't expect Zeng Anmin to have calculated all this.

The atmosphere gradually became heavy.

"snort!"

In an instant, he had a clear understanding of the current situation.

Qi Linxian snorted softly and looked at Wang Deli on the boat:

"You crude warrior, do you think you can stop me?"

He just gently shook the feather fan in his hand.

The small boat under him suddenly began to ripple. In just a moment, a circle of green lines surrounded Qi Linxian.

"Instantaneous Array!"

Wang Deli, the commander of the Xuanjing Division, saw this and yelled in anger:

"The fox from the Xuanzhen Division! What else can it do besides running?! If you're brave enough, let's fight!!"

As he spoke, he was about to jump up and raise the longbow in his hand.

“Chiu!!”

The second arrow hit Qi Xianlin in an instant.

"magical!"

Qi Linxian waved his feather fan again, and the green lines suddenly flashed, wrapping him up completely.

"Boo~"

The arrow passed through Qi Xianlin's body but did not cause any harm.

"Master Zeng, see you later!!"

As Qi Linxian laughed, his body began to flicker, and even his voice became blurred, and he was about to disappear in the next moment.

Just at this moment, a cold snort was heard.

"It's been so long since we've seen a war, and the world has forgotten the power of Confucianism and Legalism. How sad."

Zeng Shilin's eyes were indifferent at this moment, as if he didn't see Qi Linxian who was about to disappear. He stood on the deck with one hand behind his back.

The river breeze blew gently, rippling the unparalleled elegance on the corners of his clothes and the vast green air that reached the sky.

"The sage said, 'Don't talk about strange things, supernatural powers, or supernatural things.'"

A vast and boundless voice rang in everyone's ears.

Zeng Anmin only saw the countless green air reaching straight into the sky, as vast as clouds and smoke, and as thick as mountain fog.

In this wisp of green air, my father's figure was like a mountain, surrounded by the righteous energy of heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the green light on Qi Linxian's body.

When the green light first came into contact with the blue air, it dissolved and dissipated in a moment, just like a drop of water meeting the sun.

"Bang~"

Qi Linxian's figure reappeared.

He fell back onto the boat in a mess.

He frantically urged the spiritual power in his body, but it was of no use.

Then he suddenly looked up at Zeng Shilin, horrified:

"My Xuanzhen Division's spiritual power can..."

"Ignorant child."

Zeng Shilin just smiled faintly and was too lazy to talk any more nonsense with him.

He just glanced at Wang Deli and said, "Get it."

“Yes, sir!”

At this moment, Wang Deli jumped onto the water surface like a roc spreading its wings, and his toes lightly tapped to create a few ripples.

“Tap tap~”

In just two steps, that agile figure had already arrived in front of Qi Linxian.

Qi Linxian is only a seventh-rank formation warrior. Without his spiritual power, how could he be a match for the commander of the Xuan Jing Division?

But in just a moment, he was captured alive.

Ignoring Qi Linxian's pale face, Zeng Shilin looked at Zeng Anmin on the shore.

Father and son looked at each other.

"Where's Black Cat Wufu?"

Zeng Shilin looked at his son with a smile and asked.

"What black cat warrior?" Zeng Anmin blinked, looking confused.

Zeng Shilin's expression froze slightly.

He can't say that I used my conscience to question you, and then you pointed to the map and said that the Black Cat Warrior was here, right?

Here, the big ship under his feet has already docked.

Zeng Shilin slowly got off the boat and came to Zeng Anmin.

He first glanced down at Wang Daoyuan's dead body on the ground, his face expressionless:

"Not completely settling accounts with him was just a playful move on my father's part, to see if the Jiang Palace would take the bait."

"I never thought that this idle move would become your trump card."

Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment, then looked at his father in disbelief:

"I thought you spared his life because he was working for Your Majesty at the time... out of consideration for Your Majesty's reputation."

The old man sneered, "Your Majesty, how could you care about the life and death of such an ant?"

Zeng Anmin was startled for a moment, then looked at his father with admiration in his eyes and a voice of great respect:

"If you hadn't spared his life, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to catch this big fish today."

"Your Excellency the Governor has truly foreseen everything, and your wisdom surpasses that of heaven! I admire you so much! I bow down before you!"

Zeng Shilin nodded slowly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his right hand unconsciously stroked his beard.

While the two were talking, Wang Deli came across the river carrying the tied-up Qi Linxian.

"Pfft~"

He casually threw Qi Linxian to the ground and asked Zeng Shilin for instructions: "Sir, this bastard has been caught, what should we do with him?"

"Take him back and torture him severely."

Zeng Shilin glanced at Qi Linxian's old face indifferently, without any emotion in his voice.

Only then did he turn around and look at Zeng Anmin:

"This barren mountain holds evidence of a rebellion at the Jiang Palace."

Zeng Anmin's face was serious as he bowed to Zeng Shilin:

"Your Excellency, the evidence is in the canyon behind this hill, but there are some guards in the canyon..."

"Um."

Zeng Shilin nodded slowly, then turned and looked at Wang Deli and the dozens of armored soldiers on the deck:

"Hurry up."

Wang Deli accepted the order with a serious expression:

"yes!!"

After saying this, he looked at the dozens of guards on the deck and said loudly:

"Form a formation! Head up the mountain!!"

“Swish!!”

A formation was formed in the blink of an eye, and dozens of soldiers came down from the deck in an orderly manner, marching in neat steps, following Wang Deli.

…

That night, Wang Deli led his men to clear out all the personnel in the Prince Jiang's Mansion on the entire island.

Zeng Anmin followed Zeng Shilin and the group entered the canyon.

Hundreds of porters knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

Beside them lay a dozen armored corpses.

Wang Deli stared at them fiercely.

Dozens of armored soldiers were unharmed, their weapons emitting cold light, guarding against everyone.

Zeng Shilin sat in a chair and watched all this.

On the ground, freshly-made muskets were neatly arranged.

"The Jiang Palace is indeed ambitious."

There must be at least two or three hundred muskets.

This one item alone is enough to confirm the crime of rebellion in Prince Jiang's Mansion!

Zeng Shilin's voice turned cold:

"Tie them all up and take them back!"

"yes!"

However, at this moment.

A strange, gentle, and hesitant voice suddenly sounded:

"That... Qi Linxian... I have to take him away!"

The sound appeared extremely abruptly.

Attracted everyone's attention.

"who!!!"

Wang Deli's face darkened and he looked towards the source of the sound.
