"Brother Xi, come and identify the man on the boat ahead. Is he the son-in-law of the Su family?"

On the sailboat, a tall man wearing a straw raincoat put down the telescope in his hand and waved to the man next to him.

Xi Junyu immediately walked over, picked up the telescope and took a look, then nodded decisively, "It's him!"

As he spoke, Xi Junyu's expression was icy cold, revealing an unshakable chilling murderous intent.

The tall man smiled, patted his shoulder with his big hand, and said, "I know you have some grudge against this Su family son-in-law. Once the brothers take over this official ship, I will hand the Su family son-in-law over to you for disposal!"

"Thank you, brother!"

Xi Junyu showed a look of delight, then hesitated and said, "If the second young lady of the Su family, Su Tan'er, is also on the boat..."

The man surnamed Zhu frowned, but still waved his hand and said, "I'll give them all to you!"

Xi Junyu happily bowed, with a hint of joy and pleasure of revenge in his eyes.

At the beginning, Su Tan'er recruited Ning Yi as her son-in-law, thus ignoring Ning Yi, the chief manager who had made great contributions to the Su family.

Xi Junyu was dissatisfied, so he secretly colluded with the Wu family, the cloth merchants in Jiangning, hoping to take revenge on the Su family and prove his own ability. However, who would have thought that Ning Yi would actually take advantage of the situation and suppress his and the Wu family's conspiracy in an instant.

Xi Junyu was exposed as a result and was expelled from the Su family.

But man proposes, God disposes. Xi Junyu left Jiangning in disgrace, but ended up at Liangshan by accident. Because of his abilities, he was highly regarded by Liangshan's eldest brother Song Jiang.

This time when he came to Jiangning to do work, Xi Junyu was chosen by Song Jiang because he was a native of Jiangning.

And when he learned that Ning Yi's family was on the ship that was the target of the attack, the raging fire of revenge and jealousy burned Xi Junyu's heart all the time.

Ning Yi, Su Tan'er...

You never thought that you would have this day!

Xi Junyu clenched his fists tightly, and couldn't wait to see the expressions of Ning Yi and the others when they saw him again.

At this moment, a strong hand rested on his shoulder.

Xi Junyu was slightly startled, turned his head and immediately saw a man's face with a slightly sad expression.

The man glanced at his eyes and said in a calm tone: "Brother Xi, I understand that you have a grudge against the Su family, but the second young lady of the Su family is just a woman, and we are here for serious business... If she really falls into your hands, just kill her with a knife, don't meddle in other people's business."

Xi Junyu quickly bowed and said, "I understand. Thank you, Brother Lin, for your teachings."

The man surnamed Lin nodded, patted his shoulder with his big hand, and then took the telescope from him.

Looking at the man in front of him who raised the telescope and no longer paid attention to him, Xi Junyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had become familiar with the heroes of Liangshan over the past period of time and they all called each other brothers, he was once the head of the Su family after all, and his knowledge was far beyond the reach of those so-called heroes who could not read or write.

Xi Junyu still had an inexplicable fear and awe towards some people on Liangshan...

For example, the military advisor who stayed in Liangshan, and the former instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards in front of him - "Leopard Head" Lin Chong!

After a while, a man on the boat who had lost his patience could not help but murmur, "Military Advisor, it's been so long, why is there still no movement on the official ship? Could it be that Brother Zhang Shun... failed?"

"nonsense!"

Before Zhu Wu, the 'Divine Military Advisor', could reply, a dark-skinned man with a thick beard flew into a rage and shouted, "Brother Zhang Shun is nicknamed the White Shark in the Waves. His water skills are unparalleled in the world. How could he fail?"

“…”

The man shrank his neck and remained silent.

Zhu Wu smiled and comforted the dark-skinned man, then frowned as he looked in the direction of the ship and said, "I heard that the son-in-law of the Su family is not a simple person either. He is the sworn brother of the Three Heroes of Tiannan, and is known as the 'Blood Hand Butcher' in the Jianghu..."

"Bah, what a bloody butcher, he is nothing but a lackey of the imperial court!"

The black guy was cursing and his black face showed extreme disdain.

Lin Chong glanced at him and said calmly, "This time, we are also helping the Chen family in the capital."

The dark and sturdy man was choked and glared at Lin Chong angrily.

Zhu Wu, who was standing by, quickly stopped the dark-skinned man and smiled at Lin Chong, "Brother Lin, how can this be the same? Someone from the Chen family died at the hands of the son-in-law from the Su family, and he revealed the news to us just now in order to seek revenge... We brothers also wanted to rescue the heroes of the Southeast Volunteer Army on the ship, so we pretended to be friendly with the Chen family."

"If Brother Lin is dissatisfied, after rescuing the heroes of the righteous army, we will turn back and kill all the people of the Chen family!"

Zhu Wu was worthy of being called the "divine military strategist". He calmed the black man with one sentence and quietly made amends for Lin Chong, turning his seemingly sarcastic words into dissatisfaction with the cooperation between the people and the court.

The black man was stunned for a moment, then he relaxed his eyebrows: "So this is what my brother meant... Don't worry, after rescuing the heroes on the boat, I, Li Kui, will personally lead people back and kill all the people from the Chen family to prove my innocence!"

Li Kui slapped his hairy chest, making it sound loudly.

Lin Chong frowned, said no more, sat down and began to wipe his spear.

"... It's been a quarter of an hour, and there's still no movement. It looks like Brother Zhang really failed."

Zhu Wu rubbed his slightly twitching eyelids, sighed softly, turned around and asked his brothers to pick up their weapons and prepare for a tough battle.

A moment later, Ning Yi and Ye Zixun on the boat discovered the Liangshan people coming in aggressively.

"I knew it wasn't that simple..."

Ning Yi sighed and took out the platinum-colored pistol from his arms.

Lu Hongti next to him also frowned and stood beside Ning Yi with a sword in hand.

"Hongti, my third brother and I are enough here. Go to the cabin and report to the officers and soldiers accompanying us."

Hearing Ning Yi's words, Lu Hongti was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned and left.

This building ship was an official ship that Su Tan'er contacted through various connections.

Since it is an official ship, it is impossible that Ning Yi and his family are the only ones on board.

In fact, this official ship was actually escorting Fang La’s military prisoners to Jiangning Prison.

After all, Fang La's army was in great rebellion. After the fall of Hangzhou City, the imperial army captured tens of thousands of prisoners. The prison in the southeast alone was already overcrowded. Therefore, someone decided to escort the excess prisoners to those prisons that still had vacancies.

In addition to Ning Yi and some distinguished guests who were also returning to Jiangning, there were more than a hundred elite soldiers responsible for escorting the prisoners on the official ship.

The team leader is a young player who looks a little immature but has an extraordinary temperament.

As soon as they met, the young general bowed to Ning Yi and Ye Zixun, looking quite respectful.

"Mr. Ning, I know your abilities. Please tell me how to deal with this gang of bandits!"

"..." Ning Yi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Ye Zixun, and asked curiously, "Do you know me?"

The young general smiled and bowed again, saying, "My surname is Yue, my name is Fei, my courtesy name is Pengju, and I am the vanguard under Commander Xin. It is a great honor for me to go to Jiangning with Mr. Ning and Master Ye this time!"

"……who?"

Ning Yi and Ye Zixun suspected that they were hallucinating.

But Yue Fei thought they were asking his superiors, so he smiled and explained: "Commander Xin Xingzong, I heard from the chief of the Secret Investigation Department that half of the gates of Hangzhou were opened by Mr. Ning. You may not know that the first troops to enter the city that day were my troops!"

The young Yue Fei seemed quite honored when talking about this.

Ning Yi and Ye Zixun looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After traveling together for several days, they actually didn't know that the young officer accompanying them was the famous Yue Wumu!

Hearing this name, Ye Zixun's eyes quickly became friendly.

He smiled and put his arm around Yue Fei's shoulders: "Yue Pengju... this is a good name. As soon as you hear it, you know you are definitely not an ordinary person. I am optimistic about you!"

Yue Fei was flattered, but the situation was urgent and he had no time to chat with Ye Zixun, so he turned his attention to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi pondered for a moment, then decisively waved his hand and let Yue Fei make his own decision.

If he hadn't heard this name, he might have been a little worried. Now that he knew this guy was Yue Fei, Ning Yi immediately felt relieved.

Yue Fei didn't know why Ning Yi trusted him so much, but since Mr. Ning said so, he had to do his best no matter how unsure he was.

Soon, dozens of sailboats surrounded from the front right side.

Yue Fei remained calm and ordered the officers and soldiers on the ship to shoot arrows at the sailboat. However, the enemy was not stupid either. The direction of attack they chose was with the wind, and the arrows flew for a distance against the wind before being disrupted by the headwind.

Even if it could land on the opponent's sailboat, it would have lost its due power.

Everyone on the boat laughed loudly and praised the military advisor for his brilliant strategy. He could even observe the celestial phenomena and use the east wind, just like Zhuge Liang.

The morale of the Liangshan side was greatly boosted, but the officers and soldiers on the tower ship seemed a little sluggish.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yi turned and looked at Ye Zixun.

Ye Zixun laughed, raised his hand to grab the longbow from an officer, and drew the bow and put an arrow on it.

“Zheng——”

The blue Qi flashed faintly, attaching to the tautly stretched bowstring and bow arm.

All officers and soldiers including Yue Fei turned their eyes to Ye Zixun, wanting to see what methods this Master Ye, who had become famous after suppressing the rebellion and was known as one of the Three Heroes of Southern China along with Zuo Yu, the Blood Prince, and Li Yun, the Master of the Liaoyuan Spear, had.

I saw him bend the bow like a full moon, and then suddenly release the bowstring.

In an instant, the arrow cut through the air like a stream of light and shot out against the strong wind.

The bowstring trembled, and several figures on the sailboat in the front fell down.

It turned out that the arrow could not withstand Ye Zixun's force, and the wooden arrow shaft exploded and disintegrated during the shooting, turning into several streams of light, piercing through the three Liangshan bandits on the boat.

Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers on the ship were silent for a moment, and then burst into warm cheers.

Yue Fei was amazed and said, "Brother Ye is a great archer. I admire you!"

Ye Zixun smiled and returned the longbow to the excited soldier, and then said with regret: "What a pity, this bow is too soft and can't withstand my strength. If I shoot another arrow, it will probably fall apart..."
