"what!"
The river, cleaved open by the crimson force, surged with terrifying waves.
The enormous waves, along with the invading torrents, immediately overturned the remaining naval vessels that dared to obstruct Wang Wushang and Zhang Liansong.
Under the double blow, the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the force of the blade were also shoved into the water by the waves.
In an instant, screams echoed throughout the area.
Interestingly...
The wooden planks that Wang Wushang and Zhang Liansong stepped on remained completely unaffected from beginning to end.
In fact, under a certain suction force, they moved towards the shore at full speed.
This bizarre scene also greatly shocked Wang Can and Tu Yu the shaman, who were being held in their hands.
"Whose subordinates are these? They're so fierce!"
"With a single stroke, you cleaved the river, changing the course of the flood, and with your words, you were able to bring them ashore?"
"Ninth rank?"
Even Wang Can, who had already become a prisoner, spoke in horror upon seeing this scene.
“Ordinary ninth-rank officials cannot do these things.”
"He, he is at least in the late stage of the ninth rank."
The shaman Tu Yu, standing to the side, muttered to himself, still shaken.
"Ninth grade?"
"A ninth-rank, mid-to-late stage, doesn't even have the qualifications to see my master!"
'boom.'
When Wang Wushang, who was carrying them, finished speaking with a cold laugh, the two men's heads were buzzing.
"You, your parents?"
"He, he is..."
When Zhang Liansong introduced himself, he revealed their identity as 'Jinyiwei' (Imperial Guards).
Now, the other party claims it's their family members.
Could it be that……
'Swish!'
Just as Tu Yu, the shaman, and Wang Can had guessed each other's identities, eye-catching flags lit up along the circular shoreline of Dadukou.
"Xu, the flag with the character 'Xu' on it?"
Looking across the entire Ming Dynasty, among those not surnamed 'Zhu' and on the fringes of the banners, the only one who dares to use dragon embroidery is currently the most powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty—Xu Bantian!
"Xu, Xu Shan?"
"Is your master Xu Rentu?"
Glancing at Wang Can's terrified gaze and listening to his trembling voice, Wang Wushang proudly held his head high!
"Isn't he in Shu County?"
"How did we get here so quickly?"
"And also, he and Prince Ning are sworn enemies."
"How were you able to mobilize the Jiujiang navy to launch a feigned attack?"
Too many questions and disbelief made their eyes widen like saucers.
It wasn't until they were brought ashore and saw the crimson python robe and that young, handsome face that their expressions changed from shock to terror.
A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow!
While the title of Xu Shan, the number one war god of the Ming Dynasty, may have been partly due to the court's deliberate exaggeration, his rise from a small fishing village to the pinnacle of power is a testament to his abilities.
It seems like they've never lost!
His safe withdrawal from Shu County demonstrates that the Red Miao of Guanshan has been completely eliminated.
The fact that they could mobilize the Jiujiang navy to help them pull off this move indicates that the Prince of Ning has already compromised with them.
In addition, there were Cao Zhengchun, the Eastern and Western Depots, and the Donglin Party, all of whom he had previously killed in Beijing…
The young man standing there, just by looking at them, sent chills down the spines of Wang Can and Tu Yu Shaman.
"See my lord!"
"We have successfully completed our mission."
As Wang Wushang and Zhang Liansong stepped forward to bow, Xu Shan quickly helped them up.
"Our Embroidered Uniform Guard adheres to the rule that only those who can independently lead an army and complete an external mission can be appointed as commanders."
"Congratulations, Commander Wang!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Wushang, beaming with joy, immediately exclaimed, "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
"And me? My lord, and me?"
Zhang Liansong, who was standing to the side, immediately became anxious. He quickly asked!
"Congratulations, Zhang Gou Dan, the strongest centurion on earth! This title has been officially recognized!"
When Xu Shan said this, Zhang Liansong couldn't help but smile.
For him, position or power was of no importance.
The important thing is to be the best in a particular track!
Clearly, no one can compete with him for first place in the category of commander of the Imperial Guard.
"Notify them..."
"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes."
With Xu Shan's order issued, the Shuzhou naval commanders, who already had nowhere to retreat, had no choice but to surrender.
During this time, Xu Shan took Wang Can and Tu Yu Shaman to a temporary place where he stayed.
Here, Wang Can and Tu Yu Shaman saw the mangled body of Ma Ming, as well as his trusted confidant who had just gone upstream to check on the situation.
"General Ma is a real man."
"He withstood the first round of torture by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. But he gave up in the second round."
"Where is Commander Wang?"
"What about the shaman?"
"Should we speak frankly and without reservation, or should we first experience the 'home away from home' treatment provided by the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
‘Gulu. ’
Upon hearing Xu Shan's words, Wang Can and Tu Yu Shaman exchanged glances for a moment, then couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Don't even think about surviving."
"Treason is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family."
"I, the Imperial Envoy, can guarantee that you will leave without pain."
"That's all!"
Xu Shan said coldly as he fiddled with the boning knife in his hand.
"We, the Demon-Sealing Clan, swear we will never bow to you. Unless..."
'bass.'
'Sizzle.'
"Ow."
"Let me finish speaking. What about 'unless'?"
'Puff, puff.'
"what."
Zhang Liansong, quick-witted and agile, didn't even give the shaman a chance to continue speaking.
Right in front of Wang Can, he began to demonstrate his sharp and skillful knife work.
As a result, strips of meat and blood, unique to the shaman, splattered onto Wang Can's face...
This once proud young man, who had dreamed of becoming a loyal subject of the emperor, was immediately terrified.
"Lord Xu, may I ask you something?"
"I, the guilty general, will certainly speak frankly and without reservation."
After Wang Can finished speaking with a sob in his voice, Xu Shan smiled and asked, "Where will the Gu Infant and the True Soul Puppet be sent?"
"Oh, so it's what you call your 'hometown'."
"Yu, Yuhang!"
"Ok?"
Upon hearing the place name, Xu Shan's eyes widened in surprise.
Damn, isn't this my hometown?
Why send it there?
Who will take over?
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Wang Can hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Because, because the Jiangnan Navy is currently stationed there."
"The items were personally taken over by Zhou Yu, the Grand Admiral of the Jiangnan Navy."
"Where he is sent next, the criminal will truly have no idea."
Although Xu Shan and the others had already suspected that powerful and influential families in Jiangnan were involved, they still found it unbelievable when they heard that Zhou Yu, the Grand Admiral of the Jiangnan Navy, was the mastermind behind it all.
It should be noted that Zhou Yu, the Grand Admiral of the Jiangnan Navy, has always been a neutral party.
Although he came from a prominent family in Jiangnan, he and his Zhou family did not have much involvement with the Donglin Party, either in the imperial court or in private.
As for His Majesty's decision, we simply follow the crowd and do not seek special treatment!
And these neutral faction were the ones His Majesty had been trying to win over.
