Volume 5: The Gathering of Storms Chapter 292: Two Heroes
Although Xu Zun thought he looked pretty good, he was still quite surprised to be suddenly called a "handsome man" by this beautiful woman.
You have to know that this was in a feudal society. It always felt weird for a woman to praise her handsome man in such an occasion.
In particular, this woman came close to him, as if she wanted to flirt with him.
“Stop!” Seeing the woman trying to attack, Ani stabbed the woman with a sword and shouted, “Who are you? You are so shameless!”
“Oh, oh, oh,” the woman swung her iron fan, and said seductively like a lotus leaf swaying in the wind, “This little girl is very fierce. It seems that they have a close relationship, hehehe…”
When the woman smiles, it seems that her smile can make a person's bones soften.
"Who are these evil monsters?" Huo Anu didn't know the origins of this man and woman, so he immediately stood in front of Xu Zun and shouted.
"Oh," the man was surprised, "You speak the Central Plains dialect so well, so you're not a foreigner!"
"You two, you two," Xu Zun was still experienced. He immediately stopped Huo Anu and Ani, clasped his fists towards the two of them and said, "I am the Great Xuan Judge, and these are my guards. I saw you two kill the pirates just now, so I guess..."
As a result, before Xu Zun finished speaking, the woman immediately put away her iron fan, retreated to the side of the man in white, and her expression was no longer frivolous.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" The man in white was also surprised and asked hurriedly, "Are you called Xu Zun?"
yeah?
Now it was Xu Zun's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect the other party to call out his name directly.
You have to know that this Daxuan Chief Justice was recently invented by the Queen Mother, so not many people should know about it.
"You... who are you?"
Xu Zun suddenly remembered what Zhao Yu had said to him before, saying that there was a couple from the martial arts world who he had invited to be his guide.
Could it be that...
"My name is Xiao Zhennan," the man in white quickly clasped his hands and pointed at the charming woman, "This is my wife Han Feier, we are both from Qianshan Sect, it was... the Zhao family in Liaozhou who invited us to Yongming Port.
"We are asked to follow the Grand Xuan Judge Xu Zun to the Ten Kingdoms of the East China Sea!"
"Oh! What a coincidence," Xu Zun quickly returned the greeting, "I've heard from Zhao Yu that you guys would be here tomorrow, but I never thought we'd meet by chance now!"
"Haha, hello, sir," Han Feier bowed, "This is really a coincidence. We just entered the city and wanted to find a boatman we knew before to stay overnight, but we encountered such a big scene ..."
"Yes!" Xiao Zhennan frowned and said, "The Chuyun Kingdom is so bold that it dares to openly invade our Daxuan. Does it want to be destroyed?"
"Oh?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "You can recognize that these are soldiers from Izumo?"
"Yes," Xiao Zhennan nodded, "This is absolutely correct. My husband and I once lived in Izumo for a year because our ship was robbed. We often dealt with them..."
As a result, before Xiao Zhennan finished his words, another group of pirates rushed over from the path along the seaside.
It was not until this time that Xu Zun noticed that these pirates were short in stature, mostly around 1.5 meters tall, and generally had big heads.
Their strength seems limited, but their bodies are very flexible.
It can also be seen that they look disorganized, like a black mass of ants.
But if you look closely you can see that they have a division of labor and cooperation. There are about seven or eight people in a team, and they have different weapons in their hands.
Some were holding shields, some were holding Japanese swords, some were using crossbows, some were using spears, and there was another one using a long sickle at the back, and at the end there was a person using a fishing net, and there was also a musketeer!
Wow...
Only then did Xu Zun realize that these people were not ordinary pirates, but organized soldiers.
In an instant, a name popped into Xu Zun's mind - Qi Jiguang!
For a moment, I felt as if I had seen the scenes of Qi's army fighting against the Japanese invaders in film and television dramas.
But now there are only pirates, not Qi’s army.
When the pirates saw that Xu Zun and his companions were dressed unusually, including many beautiful women, they immediately paid close attention and turned around and rushed towards Xu Zun and his companions fiercely.
"The pirates are strong," Xu Zun said to Xiao Zhennan and his wife, "You two should fight your way out with us and stay out of their way for the time being!"
After saying this, Xu Zun realized that they were a couple.
But... just now Xiao Zhennan flirted with Huo Anu and the others, and Han Feier, who was holding a fan, also tried to flirt with me. This...
However, the situation was urgent and he had no time to think about these things.
Seeing the enemy coming, he soon started fighting with them.
Fortunately, except for Xu Zun, everyone else has special skills. Even though the attack of this group of pirates is methodical and layered, they are no match for them.
Huo Anu swung up the heavy iron umbrella, and with just one swing, he knocked the man holding the shield in front of him away!
Huo Anu's new iron umbrella was more powerful than the previous one. The enemy's shield was shattered, and the person holding the shield was sent flying backwards, knocking down his accomplices.
Originally, their intention of attacking was to let the shield block the attack first, and then the others could pounce.
However, none of the shields stood still, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone cried out in surprise!
As a result, before they could even stop screaming, Xiao Zhennan's silver spear, Han Feier's iron umbrella, and Ani's Qingling sword had already arrived sharply.
As blood spurted out, the pirates' screams turned into howls...
ah!?
The musketeer at the back was completely dumbfounded and quickly raised his musket to fire.
However, a shrill buzzing sound suddenly came from behind him. The buzzing sound was not loud, but it seemed to cause some kind of resonance, making the musketeer want to cover his ears uncomfortably.
But just as he raised his arm, he felt a flash of cold light behind him, and the next second, he was surprised to find that the right half of his body became lighter.
Click!
The musket fell to the ground first, and then the man's right arm fell off...
ah!!?
The musketeer then realized that his arm had been chopped off. He turned around in shock, but was kicked over by the attacker.
ah……
The man howled miserably, and blood gushed out from his broken arm...
"Old Zhao!"
When Xu Zun saw the person coming, he was immediately delighted. This person was Zhao Yu!
Moreover, he seemed to have maintained his title as the arm-severing evil demon.
"Sir!" Zhao Yu was not proud at all, and rushed over and said, "I finally found you! Why did you come here? I thought, I thought... um..."
Zhao Yu suddenly saw that there was a strange couple on Xu Zun's side.
Only then did Xu Zun realize that these two people were called by Zhao Yu, but he did not know them.
So he quickly introduced the two parties!
"Oh!" Zhao Yu was overjoyed and quickly clasped his fists, "So you are the Second Hero of Qianshan. I am so sorry. Didn't you say you can only arrive tomorrow?"
"Mr. Zhao," Xiao Zhennan quickly returned the greeting and said, "We have an appointment to meet tomorrow, so you have to come a little earlier!"
"Yes," Han Feier asked hurriedly, "What happened? Why did the Izumo Kingdom attack Daxuan?"
"Ah? Izumo Country?"
As a result, Zhao Yu was as shocked as Xu Zun, and also felt it was incredible and illogical.
Seeing that Zhao Yu didn't know what was going on, Xiao Zhennan and his wife had to give up.
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun finally remembered the important matter and asked, "Where is Wang Shuncai?"
"Oh my, that guy's martial arts skills are really high!" Zhao Yu said depressedly, "I chased him for several blocks, but he still ran away! During that time, he used two moves, which was really powerful..."
"Sir," Huo Anu asked hurriedly, "How could it be such a coincidence that such a big thing happened as soon as we ran into Wang Shuncai? Could there be... any connection?"
"Not necessarily," Xu Zun recalled, "Wang Shuncai was eating noodles at the stall opposite at the time, and it looked like he just bumped into him by chance.
"Oh, forget it," Xu Zun shook his head as he watched the shouts and flames rise. "Since he's run away, we can only talk about it later!"
"Oh, sir," Zhao Yu, however, remembered something more important and hurriedly reported to Xu Zun, "I just saw Ah Xiu and the others!"
"Ah?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Where are they?"
"They saw a flare being fired from the navy dock," Zhao Yu said hurriedly, "Axiu and the others thought it was fired by the adults, so they all rushed to the navy dock with our guards!"
"Ah? So..." Xu Zun's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to the direction of the navy dock and said, "It's a good thing they went there, I suspect these people are coming for the warships!
"Quick!" He pointed in the direction of the dock and ordered, "Let's rush over there as well. We must save the warship no matter what!!!"
