Ning Shuge hissed, "Since you've chosen to be an enemy of the Great Jin, don't blame us for being rude to you. The assassinations of Ding Dusai and Li Shishi were just a warning to you. You'll be next."
"Very good!" Zhang Shixun smiled instead of getting angry. "Even if you didn't look for me, I would have come to you... Ning Shuge, your Great Jin Kingdom is finished because of me."
As he spoke, he raised his knife and chopped off Ning Shu's foot.
Ning Shuge's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Zhang Shixun decided to go all out and raised his knife again, ready to chop off his remaining foot.
Zhang Shuye hurriedly stopped him: "Shixun, enough is enough."
Zhang Shixun turned to him and said, "Mr. Zhang, this thief is too vicious and stubborn. If we leave him with one leg, he might become a one-legged bandit in the future. To avoid future trouble, it's better to chop him off completely."
After hearing this, Song Jiang and Wu Jialiang couldn't help laughing out loud.
Zhang Shuye came over and said with a wry smile, "If he really is an envoy from the Jin Kingdom, we'll be in big trouble."
Zhang Shixun looked down at Ning Shuge and saw that he had woken up and was staring at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
"Mr. Zhang, I won't leave you any trouble."
As Zhang Shixun spoke, he swung his sword and cut off Ning Shu's head.
Zhang Shuye wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"Cut the grass at its roots and put an end to it all." Zhang Shixun rubbed the bloody knife on the corpse and threw it at Song Jiang. "Nice knife."
Song Jiang took it and said with a smile, "Whatever sword you have, it will be a magic sword that can slay demons."
Wu Jialiang bent down to pick up the Fang Tian Hua Ji and handed it to Zhang Shixun respectfully.
Zhang Shixun took the Fang Tian Hua Ji and asked with a smile, "Brother Wu, do you have any other names?"
Wu Jialiang looked at him in surprise and shook his head, "No."
"Do you have a nickname?"
"That's true. My brothers saw that I had a lot of tricks, so they gave me a nickname, Wu Fox."
"oh!"
Zhang Shixun was slightly disappointed. He originally thought that Wu Jialiang was the prototype of Wu Yong, the resourceful star in "Water Margin", but apart from the surname Wu, nothing else matched.
"Mr. Zhang, let's go. It's time to capture Shi Qian. Leave this to your men."
Zhang Shixun said this and was about to get off the boat.
"Shixun, hold on!" Zhang Shuye stopped him and pointed to the bow. "Tens of thousands of people are watching. Go give them an explanation."
Zhang Shixun did not refuse and walked towards the bow of the ship.
The old man was very cunning and was unwilling to take the responsibility of killing Ning Shuge.
Zhang Shixun was not afraid. In the eyes of the emperor and the bigwigs in the court, he had long been an outlier.
He stood at the bow of the boat and raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji.
"The traitor has been eliminated, victory!"
Tens of thousands of people cheered together:
"Victory!"
“Victory!”
…
The cheers lasted for a long time.
Zhang Shixun stood at the bow with his head held high and chest puffed out, leaning on his Fang Tian Hua Ji with one hand.
In the midday sun, his figure was particularly majestic, as if a god had descended from heaven.
The focus of everyone's attention.
After pretending enough, he and Zhang Shuye got off the boat and returned to Zhou Bridge.
Li Shishi and Ding Dusai stood side by side at the bridgehead, waving at him.
Zhang Shixun walked over with a smile and said to the two women, "Okay! The fun is over, let's go home."
Li Shishi asked, "What about you, sir?"
"I have something important to do."
Li Shishi nodded and took Ding Dusai away.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Shixun stopped them. "You hired a pleasure boat and stayed here. Is it a coincidence, or...?"
"Hehe!" Ding Dusai smiled, "It was your cousin who told us that you were going to bring your team to Zhouqiao, so my sister and I hired a pleasure boat to come and see you."
I see!
When Zhang Shixun learned the truth, he almost cursed out loud.
Wang Dong is such a scoundrel. He deliberately leaked the news to them, knowing that the two would definitely come.
The intention was obvious. They were using Li Shishi and Ding Dusai as bait to lure Ning Shu to cut the big fish.
Although there are meat buns and vegetable buns for close protection, it is still a big risk.
After sending the two women away, Zhang Shixun was about to find Wang Dong to settle the score on the channel when he heard Li Gang shout, "Shixun, come here."
Zhang Shixun had to give up for the time being and walked up to Li Gang.
"Boy, you're too reckless. You knew Ning Shuge was a Jurchen, so why did you kill him?"
"Prime Minister Li, knowing he was a Jurchen, I cut the Gordian knot and saved you a lot of trouble."
Li Gang and Zhang Shuye looked at each other, both with helpless expressions.
Of course, the two of them understood what Zhang Shixun meant.
If Ning Shuge was captured alive, the cowardly ministers in the court would definitely let him go in order not to offend the Jurchens. This was inevitable.
Zhang Shixun must have seen through this, which is why he killed Ning Shuge without hesitation.
It is also equivalent to taking all the responsibility on yourself.
Li Gang said, "Shixun, if you do this, you will be hated by others."
Zhang Shixun didn't care at all. He shrugged and said, "I've long been a thorn in the side of some people. Some even regard me as an enemy. If that's the case, I might as well let go and do what I should do."
Zhang Shuye agreed, "Shixun is right. Since you've offended someone, you should offend them more severely."
Li Gang waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's not forget the purpose of our operation... Shixun, are you sure Shi Qian, the flea on the drum, is still in the city?"
"Prime Minister Li, Lord Zhang, Shi Qian, the flea on the drum, is already in my net. No matter how cunning he may be, he will find it difficult to escape my grasp."
