Chapter 80 Koi Spits Sugar to Summon Ten Thousand Fish

"Quiet down?" Chu Chongjin was taken aback, not understanding what she meant.

Mu Yu had already broken free from Yan Ziche's embrace and ran to an open porthole in the cabin.

Fearing she might fall, Yan Ziche quickly followed behind to protect her.

Mu Yu leaned on the windowsill, her little nose facing the lake, and took a deep breath.

The smell of the lake, the smell of the wind, and... the unpleasant, menacing aura emanating from those dark boats in the distance.

She puffed out her cheeks.

Then, she took out a piece of candy from her small purse.

That was Xie Zhiwei's specially made spleen-strengthening candy; it was yellow and had a refreshing herbal fragrance.

She put the candy in her mouth, held it for a little while, and felt that the surface of the candy was covered with her saliva.

Then, with a "plop," she spat the wet candy into the lake outside the window.

A candy, imbued with the saliva of the Koi Princess and a touch of good fortune, fell into Mirror Lake.

It melted quickly, and a faint, imperceptible sweet fragrance spread in all directions with the ripples of the water.

For humans, this means nothing.

But for the creatures in this lake, it was an irresistible call and blessing from a superior.

Deep in the lake.

The giant bluefish, which was dozing off, suddenly opened its eyes.

The school of catfish, which were foraging in the mud, all raised their heads at once.

Hundreds and thousands of different kinds of fish seemed to have heard some kind of command, and they all converged in one direction in a frenzy.

Their eyes gleamed with excitement and fervor.

On Jiang Tao's flagship.

He was holding a monocular telescope, smugly watching the "Wan'an" ship struggling to stay afloat under a hail of arrows and flints.

"See that? This is what happens when you go against me!"

"Once their shields and crossbow bolts are exhausted, it's time for us to go in and reap the rewards!"

"Pass down the order: intensify the offensive!"

He was speaking with great enthusiasm when the boat suddenly jolted violently and its speed abruptly decreased.

"What happened?!" Jiang Tao stumbled and roared, "Did we hit a reef?!"

The helmsman's panicked voice rang out: "General! No! The rudder... the rudder is malfunctioning!"

"I can't turn it! It feels like something's stuck in it!"

The flagship's speed was decreasing, and the ship began to spin uncontrollably.

Jiang Tao rushed to the side of the ship and peered down.

This sight filled his one eye with unprecedented horror.

Their boat's hull was now covered with countless fish!

Thousands upon thousands of fish of all sizes gathered here as if in a frenzy.

They rammed their bodies against the bottom of the boat, bit at the rudder with their mouths, and slapped their tails.

The scene was so eerie it sent chills down my spine!

"Fish? How can there be so many fish?!"

"Are they crazy?!"

The sailors screamed in terror.

This was beyond their comprehension.

They make their living on the water year-round and have never seen such a bizarre sight!

"It's...it's the river god who's angry!" A superstitious river bandit was so frightened that he knelt down and kept kowtowing.

Panic, like a plague, spread across the flagship.

On the "Wan'an" ship.

Mu Fang and Xiao Beichen also noticed the anomaly of the enemy flagship.

"My lord, look!"

"A golden opportunity!" Mu Fang's eyes lit up. "Xiao Beichen, take a team and follow me!"

"This time, I'm going to capture that bastard Jiang Tao alive with my own hands!"

A fast ship belonging to the Xuanjia Army, which had been prepared beforehand, was quickly launched.

Mu Fang and Xiao Beichen, leading twenty of the most elite Xuanjia soldiers, charged like tigers down the mountain, heading straight for the enemy flagship that was already in chaos!

When Mu Fang descended onto the flagship's deck like a god, Jiang Tao was still roaring at the fish swimming below the ship.

"Mu Fang?!" He was filled with shock and anger.

"Jiang Tao, your death is near!" Mu Fang drew his longsword, the blade pointing directly at his opponent.

A brief but intense battle broke out on the flagship's deck.

Although the Blackwater Scorpion bandits were fierce, they were utterly no match for Mu Fang and Xiao Beichen, two killing gods, and the ferocious Xuanjia Army.

Jiang Tao brandished his ghost-head broadsword, still trying to put up a last-ditch resistance.

But the one he was facing was Mu Fang.

The Great Chu Military God.

In just three moves, Mu Fang's sword was at Jiang Tao's neck.

The cold blade instantly calmed him down.

"I...I surrender," Jiang Tao managed to utter.

The commander-in-chief was captured, and the flagship changed hands.

Upon witnessing this scene, the morale of the remaining scorpion ships plummeted, and they lost all will to fight. They turned their ships around and scattered in all directions.

"Don't pursue a desperate enemy!" Chu Chongjin gave the order.

This siege battle on Mirror Lake came to an end in a way that no one could have predicted.

When Mu Fang escorted the dejected Jiang Tao back to the "Wan'an", he was greeted by deafening cheers from all the guests on board.

"The Duke of Protector of the Nation is mighty!"

"His Ninth Prince is wise!"

Mu Fang's gaze immediately turned to the cabin.

Inside the cabin, Mu Yu yawned widely, a single tear glistening in the corner of her eye.

"Daddy, did you catch that big scorpion?" she asked in a childish voice, rubbing her eyes.

"Got her." Mu Fang strode up to her, pulled her into his arms, and felt his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settle down.

"Daddy is so amazing!" Mu Yu kissed him on the cheek, then buried her little head in his arms.

"I'm sleepy..."

Her small face showed a hint of satisfied fatigue.

In her sea of ​​consciousness, the water level of that golden pond of blessings visibly rose by a huge margin!

Countless golden specks of light converged from all directions and merged into the pond.

In the center of the pond, the illusory dragon shape that symbolized the progress of "leaping over the dragon gate" had become much more solid than before.

They thwarted Sikong Ming's conspiracy, saved the scholars of Jiangnan, and stabilized the region.

This great act of merit brought her a huge amount of good fortune.

As Mu Yu was talking, she fell into a deep sleep in Mu Fang's warm embrace.

Chu Chongjin watched this scene with a smile and tenderness in his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Tao, who was being held by the Xuanjia Army, and Qian Wansan, whose face was already ashen. His eyes instantly turned cold.

"Take them away and interrogate them separately."

Half an hour later, Yan Ziche walked into the cabin with a solemn expression, holding a newly recorded statement.

"Your Highness, Qian Wansan has confessed."

“Sikong Ming… he doesn’t just want to cause chaos in Jiangnan.”

"He also colluded with the Wolf Guard in the Northern Frontier!"

"According to Qian Wansan, the floods in Jiangnan and the Battle of Jinghu were all just to distract us and the imperial court."

"Sikong Ming's true purpose is to take advantage of the empty treasury and lax border defenses of the Great Chu after the autumn harvest to lure the northern wolf cavalry into the pass!"
