Volume 1: A Stranger in a Foreign Land Chapter 15: Keeping the Enemy at Bay
"Bang."
Yang Ge jumped over Fang Ke and jumped onto a wooden board first. The heavy force immediately pressed the board down suddenly.
However, the river water that overflowed the wooden board had just covered the surface of his shoes when he finished accumulating strength, jumped up again, and flew onto the cargo ship in front.
At that time, the deck of the cargo ship was in chaos, with the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the cargo ship . Seeing Yang Ge jump onto the cargo ship, several shining swords immediately swept towards him.
Yang Ge swung the axe with all his might, and the heavy axe turned into an afterimage that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, drawing a smooth arc from top to bottom, sweeping across several oncoming swords.
Only the crisp sound of "clang clang clang" of metal clashing was heard, and several swords that had been handed to Yang Ge were either chopped off on the spot by the axe, or twisted out of his hands by the powerful force of the axe.
“Boom.”
Yang Ge fell into the side of the boat and hit his back hard. When he looked up, he saw a crowd of people. He couldn't tell whether they were enemies or friends, nor could he see if any enemies were handing a knife to him.
He could only steady himself, wielding his axe recklessly, and shouting with all his might, "Those who surrender their weapons shall not be killed... Ugh, those who abandon their weapons shall not be killed!"
Among the many cargo ship guards who came to meet Yang Ge, there were naturally some veterans who could see through his fierce appearance but weak nature.
But the black axe in his hand, which was bigger than a washbasin, and the sharp sound of the axe breaking through the air were so scary that a group of cargo ship guards surrounded him, but no one dared to go up.
The next moment, Fang Ke jumped onto the cargo ship and bravely rushed into the cargo ship guards who wanted to board but dared not. He swung his sword and knocked one person down. Then he pointed the sword at the cargo ship guards and shouted loudly: "The Embroidered Uniform Guards will enforce the law. Anyone who resists will be charged with treason and their entire family will be exterminated!"
Seeing the boy surrounded by the cargo ship's guards, Yang Ge feared for his life, so he bravely stepped forward with his axe in hand, his mouth crackling like firecrackers and demanding, "Do you hear me, Yi San tribe? If you continue fighting, not only will you die, but also your father, your mother, your wife, and all their relatives!"
"If you don't surrender now, do you really want your entire family to be sent to the execution ground and be beheaded one by one?"
"Your parents have worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you plan to repay them?"
"Your wife married you, did your laundry, cooked for you, and gave birth to your children, and you're going to treat her like this?"
"Your kids are waiting for you to come home every day, are they just waiting for you to send them to be beheaded?"
"No, how much money did they give you? Are you willing to sell the lives of your parents, wife, and children?"
“Is it worth it?”
The hoarse questioning voices spread with the night wind, and for a moment even the "whoosh, haha" and "ding-ding-dang-dang" sounds of fighting were quieted down.
Everyone couldn't help but glance in the direction of the sound out of the corner of their eyes.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards: Who is this guy? Why is he so talkative?
Cargo ship guards: He has a point!
Men are like this, once the atmosphere is set and the blood is aroused, they don’t care about life or death and will just fight if they are not convinced!
But when it comes to parents, wives, and children, each one is like a basin of cold water that can extinguish the passion...
Over there, Xie Lao Si, who was teaming up with the Tartar spies to resist the siege of Shen Fa and a group of Embroidered Uniform Guard masters, sensed the strange atmosphere around him and shouted hurriedly, "Brothers, don't listen to that kid's nonsense. If we want to get through this, we have to kill all these Embroidered Uniform Guards' lackeys..."
"Bang!"
A dark blade of energy interrupted Xie Lao Si's subsequent offer of a generous reward. Shen Fa couldn't suppress his surprise and laughed, "Your Xie family is already busy taking care of yourselves, how can you protect them?"
He knew that the guards on this ship were mostly brave soldiers recruited by the Xie family from the army over the years, and they would obey the orders of the Xie family.
Therefore, he never thought of capturing Xie Laosi and the Tartar spies without bloodshed from the beginning. All the arrangements he made were aimed at strangling these guards.
But if we can capture these guards without bloodshed, that would be perfect!
After all, as long as there is fighting, there will be losses.
And the more witnesses there are, the more solid the case will be!
Putting aside other things, the fact that the Xie family used force to resist the law was enough for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to crucify the Xie family before they could bring charges of treason against the enemy!
And Xie Laosi also had no words to express his grievances.
If he had a choice, he certainly didn't want to confront the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Because he knew very well that since Shen Fa showed up here and dared to attack their Xie family openly, it meant that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had probably almost finished the job... If his guess was correct, the relatives in Shangjing City were probably in trouble!
He just silenced the Tartar spy in order to buy some room for maneuver for the Xie family... It doesn't need to be much, even if there is only a little room for maneuver, other families will use it as a breakthrough point to help the Xie family. Even if they cannot keep their current status and power, at least their lives will not be in danger.
If he had just succeeded in silencing the Tartar spy, he would have surrendered by now.
Sadly, no one is stupid...
He really had no other choice but to bite the bullet and confront the Embroidered Uniform Guards in order to fight for the chance of survival that the Tartar spies had mentioned.
Now that they have not only failed to fight for a way to survive, but have also added more dirt to the Xie family’s grave!
Xie Lao Si, his heart burning with anger, shouted hysterically, "Shen family boy, are you really going to drive my Xie family to death? Have you forgotten that you are also a noble? Isn't it said that when we rise, we rise together, and when we fall together, we fall together?"
Shen Fa shattered the oncoming palm force with a single blow of his sword and replied coldly, "I have never forgotten that I am a noble. It is you who have forgotten that you are nobles!"
“We haven’t forgotten either!”
Xie Laosi's eyes were red, and his palms attacked frantically like windmills. "But conquering the world requires everyone's hard work, blood, and sweat. Why should the Zhao family, even though they rule the world, suppress us and make things difficult for us in every way? If we don't try to protect ourselves, are we going to continue to let the Zhao family bully us?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Fa's gaze grew even more stern, and the blade in his hand grew even more ferocious. "Is this your reason for harboring the enemy and betraying your country? Where do you place the hundreds of thousands of border troops? Where do you place the tens of millions of Chinese people? People who are worse than pigs and dogs, worse than beasts, are you worthy of being called nobles? Are you worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as us, the proud men of seven feet?"
Xie Laosi's desperate roar spread across the river, and the occasional sounds of fighting completely quieted down.
There was only a "clang" sound, and I didn't know which guard dropped his weapon first.
The next second, the clang, clang, clang of weapons falling to the ground filled the air...
They would risk their lives for the Xie family's hospitality and support.
But this does not mean that...
They don't know what is right and what is wrong.
Justice is in the hearts of the people!
