Chapter 51 - Ambush
To be on the safe side, Shen Leng decided to get his men to board the two Fei Yu ships to lead the way for the Xiong Niu. A Fei Yu ship was thirty over meters long, but for both ships to carry more than 120 soldiers, naturally they were unable to move. Hence, Shen Leng only brought half his men with him. One ship had around thirty odd people on board.
Du Weiming and Wang Kuohai took their men and boarded Fei Yu 2, whereas Shen Leng brought three ten-man squads with him and boarded Fei Yu 1. One ship was behind the other. They maintained a distance of approximately two hundred meters with Xiong Niu.
Wang Gendong instructed all the soldiers on Xiong Niu to be on high alert and nobody was allowed to take it easy. The soldiers on the ship took turns to be on duty, as well as rest. Even when they were sleeping at night, they were not allowed to remove their armors and gears.
They cruised along the Grand Canal for two days safe and sound. Wang Gend

The iron feather arrow followed closely behind Shen Leng. The arrow was precise and ruthless; its speed was extremely fast that even the most agile bird could not evade it…Just as Shen Leng was about to get shot, his body suddenly swung to one side. Shen Leng’s right hand held onto his black cord sword and his left hand was holding his scabbard. A fine string with metal hook shot out of the scabbard and hooked onto a tree branch. He swung to one side and managed to dodge the arrow. “Horrible!”Nie Yuan frowned. He leapt down from the roof. “Give chase! Ignore the people at the back.”Hundreds of water bandits in disguise pursued closely. Shen Leng seemed to be bent on heading towards the hill. As he headed there, he darted and moved about, evading the arrows. The scattered trees below the hill also played a part in sheltering him. When he got to the hill, the trees were dense and closely packed together. The arrows

Not long after the fight had ended, military officer Wang Gendong sent three of his soldiers back to the Navy’s camp via land, passing through the villages. Or else, the credit would be stolen by Cen Zheng and Bai Xiu, leaving nothing behind for them. After beheading more than six hundred water bandits, every single soldier would be able to receive a generous amount of reward. Hence, everyone was very happy.A group of people was in charge of clearing up the battlefield, and another group was in charge of locating the corpses belonging to the local soldiers of the dock. Shen Leng went to look for Wang Gendong and told him that he should send someone over to the local county’s yamen to notify them about what happened, before Cen Zheng and the rest arrived. After all the arrangements were made, Shen Leng sat on the pier. He leaned against a pillar and took a breather. He was the most crucial person in this battle. He had to stay alive and lure

The troops spent a day resting and reorganizing by the Grand Canal. The country magistrate and deputy rushed over - how was it possible for them to be unfazed and calm when something this big happened within their jurisdiction? This was the first time that many local soldiers got massacred ever since Great Ning was founded. If His Majesty got wind of the situation, everybody knew how he was going to react. Shen Leng sat by the river and looked at the people from afar. Their faces were pale as they exchanged conventional greetings with one another. He could not help but shake his head.“What’s wrong?” asked Chen Ran.“I’m afraid everyone in Ningwu country will have to be removed from office.”“So pitiful.”“Not pitiful.”Shen Leng shook his head. “Do you think they didn’t know where Lian Yunzhai was? Do you think they didn’t know about the evil doings of the water bandits? They knew everything, except tha

The hidden sentry post was well-hidden outside of the camp. The soldiers were well-trained; the older soldiers with several years of experiences under their belt had reminded them before, with regards to everything that could happen on the battlefield. Furthermore, Shen Leng’s men were even more capable than the average soldier. Du Weiming and Li Tuming brought their men and finished setting up a surrounding defense. Du Weiming told him that he was going to examine the surroundings for a bit and reminded Li Tuming to be more careful. Li Tuming laughed and said, “You are like a wet nurse. Aren’t you annoyed?”Du Weiming waved his fist at him. Thereafter, he went towards the other hidden sentry post.Li Tuming climbed onto a tree and assumed that he was safe. He looked down onto the surroundings and could not help but curl his lips upwards. He patted his chest lightly…it was where he kept the five taels of silver. Every now and then, he would ta

When he was twelve years old, a few ships in the Nanping River started to be consumed by raging fires in the middle of the night. The young man named Shen Leng held a small unsharpened hunting knife in his mouth and charged into the waters bravely without caring for his personal safety. Thereafter, he found out that in the most turbulent moments, he had the ability of becoming unusually calm. In the next four years, a man named Shen Xiaosong tried his best to teach everything he knew to Shen Leng. Of course, this was not solely because he felt that he owed it to that young man. Could it be that it was not related to the young man who leapt into the night that fateful year?Mr. Shen saw the heart of the young man for what it was. Hence, he felt that even if he were to fight with his life, it was worth it. Not long ago, a young man named Li Tuming gritted his teeth and held in there. He told himself time and time again, not to be

A few years ago, when the southern border’s 120,000 elite troops vanquished Yue Empire, their great general, Hulan Shengxia, once said…Great Ning’s lethal scouts could not be seen or caught - they were like stealthy monsters who killed without being seen. It was not a compliment not fear, but rather, Great Ning’s scouts were revered. At this moment, Shen Leng was facing one of those scouts. It was an opponent that Shen Leng hate to face the most. Because they used to be combat soldiers.Li Can, Yue Shanfeng, Song Lei advanced together, with two people at the back and one person in front. The speed they were moving at was not fast. However, their hand movements were extremely swift. Their repeating crossbows were quickly nocked once again. Their formation was invulnerable. “Where’s he?” asked Li Can. There were no discoveries made at the front. “Nothing here!”“Nothing here!”Yu Shanfeng an

Shen Leng swung his sword; Nie Yuan could feel the ferocity of his attack and did not dare to face it head on. Furthermore, at the dock, he had seen that there was something fishy about Shen Leng’s sword. It was a lot better than the standard sword given to the soldiers. Hence, he dodged the attack and swung his sword right towards Shen Leng’s back. After missing, Shen Leng quickly turned around and swung his black cord sword upwards. Both swords clashed into one another, creating sparks. “High-grade tempered sword.”Shen Leng was unable to break Nie Yuan’s sword. Immediately, he could tell that it was a high-grade tempered that was given to Great Ning’s battalion commanders, and other higher ranked military soldiers, except that Nie Yuan removed the black and red cords on the sword. “You are still using this sword?” asked Shen Leng as he drew his sword back. It had to be mentioned that not only was Great Ning’s ar

When the troops went back to the dock, it was already afternoon. They were about three hours late. Hence, Shen Leng, who was carrying a few heads on his waist, was punished and made to stand on the platform of the dock. Without Cen Zheng’s order, he was not allowed to leave. His silhouette looked somewhat lonely. Shen Leng lifted his head and looked at the sun that was about to set. He thought about Meng Changan’s lone journey to the north. He must be lonelier than me, right? He was only momentarily lonely - when he returned to his ten-man squad, he would be filled with warmth once again. And when he finally returned to Mr. Shen and Master Cha, the warmth he would experience would make him feel good all over. When the sky was almost dark, Class B Guoyi General Bai Xiu walked slowly over to Shen Leng. When he looked at the heads that had bled dry, a ray of light flashed across his eyes. “Actually, General Cen did not mean to put
