The noisy, bustling, yet chaotic cabin was lit by numerous candles, making it, if not opulent, at least bright and open. Most of the aristocratic offspring were accompanied by their bodyguards, and soldiers were busily running back and forth around the dock. Even though the Birthday Congratulation Tribute robbery had just occurred, few believed that something similar would happen again here.

It was like watching a massive flood from a safe place; even with serious expressions and heated discussions, there was little real sense of danger.

Until the sound suddenly tore through the air of the hall, like a heavy darkness suddenly exploding!

At this moment, the closest person to the two was probably Li Shishi. She couldn't even tell what was happening. The smile on Ning Yi's lips was still in her eyes a moment ago, but it was replaced by that furious roar in the next.

The fist passed by her, the clothes rustling, the wind breaking like a tiger's roar, even creating a muffled sound in the air, which was the Gang strength of breaking the six paths. On the other side, Yan Qing, disguised as Wang Xian, took a step forward, closing in, his arm colliding with Ning Yi's fist.

Almost at the same moment, from the surrounding crowd, Qi Xinyong's steel spear had already stabbed out with a whoosh. Qi Xinhan's spear was still wrapped in cloth. As he drew the spear, the steel spear vibrated frantically like a mad dragon, the entire cloth fluttering open in the air. On the other side, Wenren Bu'er also closed in at the same time.

In an instant, in that small space, the cracking sounds of their attacks and the rapid steps of their feet rang out madly. The figures of the fighting men danced shadows amidst the stirred-up candles, as they struck at the floor, steel spears, and cloth. A stool flew through the air, shot like a cannonball towards the side of the cabin, crashing into the window. The cloth wrapped around the steel spear exploded into countless butterflies. A lantern on the ceiling burst open with a bang, scattering flames.

However, in the next moment, Yan Qing had already grabbed Ning Yi's arm. With a roar of "Ah—", he spun twice and then the whistling wind of the spear and the rushing figure arrived. Both figures lost their balance and flew into the air, then Ning Yi was thrown away, and Yan Qing was knocked to the other side.

With a crashing sound, Ning Yi's body slammed into the tables and chairs on the side, looking disheveled. Almost at the moment of landing, Yan Qing swung a round table at the approaching Qi Xinyong. He landed, staggered back a few steps, and then suddenly reached out to support the cabin pillar behind him. His hands, back, and shoulders were already covered in blood.

Qi Xinyong and the others surrounded him. At this time, someone in the cabin shouted loudly: "What are you doing!"

"Brother Wang, are you alright!"

"Who are you people!"

Yan Qing was already handsome and elegant, originally appearing refined and suave, but now he was supporting the pillar with one hand, his sleeves torn, revealing his bulging muscles. Looking down at the crowd, he exuded an aura of heroism. However, although he had scanned over Qi Xinyong, Wenren Bu'er, and these other skilled fighters, he was most concerned about Ning Yi, who was struggling to climb out of the broken table.

Ning Yi's left sleeve was also torn, with specks of blood on it, but not his own. Gritting his teeth as he climbed up, he pulled out a concave iron piece from his sleeve and threw it out. The raised surface of the iron piece was covered with grim barbs.

On Liangshan, Yan Qing's sumo techniques were unparalleled. In hand-to-hand combat, even a fierce man like Li Kui would be easily thrown around by him. Even though Ning Yi attacked and had Lu Hongti's guidance, his martial arts cultivation was completely inferior to his opponent's. What came out of breaking the six paths was just brute force. In the previous few frantic exchanges, Yan Qing appeared to be facing him head-on, but in reality, he had completely removed the force at the moment of contact and then directly grabbed Ning Yi's left hand.

He just didn't expect that Ning Yi's arm was already equipped with a barbed iron piece. No matter how powerful the sumo techniques were, grappling was the foundation. The harder Yan Qing grabbed, the more serious the damage to his palm. But he didn't dare to let go easily, so he twisted Ning Yi around twice before throwing him out with force. After losing his balance, Ning Yi shot an arrow from the spring hidden in his right sleeve, and the small arrow pierced into his shoulder.

In terms of martial arts, whether it was Wenren Bu'er or the Qi Xinyong brothers, what they had shown earlier was much higher than Ning Yi. However, in that instant of fighting, his injuries were almost all caused by Ning Yi. It was also because of the sharp pain in his hand that his back suffered a heavy blow from Qi Xinyong's spear, and was now a bloody mess.

At this time, everyone still didn't know the reason for the fight. Many people already had a friendship with Wang Xian, but it was only limited to a moment of cursing. Ning Yi threw away the iron piece, stood up from there, looked at Yan Qing, and said in a low voice: "Handsome." And also in his process of getting up, Yan Qing was already retreating towards the rear bulkhead, gritting his teeth and said: "Despicable..."

Neither side hesitated in the slightest. Almost at the same time as he finished speaking, Ning Yi's right hand had been raised, facing him was the grim muzzle of a firelock, and Yan Qing suddenly quickened his pace, rushing towards the window.

Boom—

Bang—

The short gun shattered a window, and Yan Qing actually rushed out of another window next to it. Qi Xinyong, Qi Xinhan and Wenren Bu'er rushed out with him, the figures and shadows of the spears flickering, Yan Qing jumped into the Bian River in the darkness.

"Catch him!"

Wenren Bu'er's shout came from outside, mixed with Ning Yi's words in the cabin.

"Dead or alive!"

In a short period of time, from the crazy and fierce fighting at the beginning to the seemingly calm pursuit and escape that both sides moved quickly, it was actually just a few breaths of time, the blood was grim, and Ning Yi's gunshots were deafening. In fact, this was also a poorly prepared fight.

Yan Qing was alert and highly skilled in martial arts. Although they were watching him, they were indirectly exploring his situation in order not to startle the snake, seeing who he had contacted, and then exploring from the people he contacted, deducing his possible intentions. But his identity has never been completely determined. If Li Shishi hadn't suddenly spoken, Ning Yi would never have subconsciously used the three words "Lu Junyi" to test him in that situation. Without this test, if he shot him in the back, the other party would definitely be dead.

And at this time, the people in the cabin really reacted to what happened. Some people had already come over, questioning and shouting. Someone rushed out of the cabin to check the situation after the other party fell into the water.

"Who the hell are you people, talk to me! Otherwise, I..."

"Brother Wang, what did you do wrong..."

"Despicable, all your attacks are low-down tricks. If you have any grudges, you can fight Brother Wang one-on-one..."

The crowd was angry. Li Shishi was still standing there blankly, unable to react. Why would the two sides suddenly fight to the death by his side. At this time, he wanted to say something, seeing that Ning Yi didn't pay any attention to these questioning aristocratic offspring, wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand while holding the firelock, and walked past Chen Jingui, vaguely saying a sentence, he heard clearly that the sentence was: "He has good popularity..."

Those people who came over were about to approach, and Ning Yi had already gone towards the outside. The figure of another woman passed by Li Shishi, raised her head and directly blocked these people: "What are you doing! That Wang Xian is obviously a bad guy! You are blinded and don't even know it! Do you know that when my master was in Hangzhou, even the rebel Fang La didn't dare to talk to him like that!"

The one who came out to stop them was the little princess Zhou Pei. Her words almost startled everyone. Even Ning Yi was stunned, turned his head to look at her, and wanted to say that Fang La still dared to, this bragging was too big... But in the end, he didn't speak and walked out.

Zhou Pei had only heard about Ning Yi's experience in Hangzhou. She heard from Kang Xian that since Ning Yi had tricked Fang La, then Fang La was of course no match for Ning Yi. Now, he spoke proudly. And here, her family's status was the highest, who would dare to refute. Li Shishi was dumbfounded, and Zhuo Yunfeng was also dumbfounded. Later, there were also people who knew Ning Yi, saying that this person was Ning Liheng who wrote "When Will the Moon Be Clear" and "Green Jade Table". Zhou Pei then proudly went out to ask Ning Yi who this Wang Xian was, and incidentally shouted a few words: "Catch him! Catch him alive, if you can't catch him alive, then kill him!"

In fact, although several small boats had sailed into the center of the canal in the darkness to start searching, at this time, Yan Qing's figure had already disappeared in the water.

At the same time, another batch of news from the Xuzhou military side came again with the scouts...

*******************

Torches were burning in the woods by the shore after the rain. Boxes of things were being moved down from the big ship and put on carriages. Several boxes were opened and placed by the side of the road. Under the light of the fire, the boxes were filled with golden utensils. Lu Junyi, Zhu Wu and others were holding some things, talking and admiring them.

"These are really good things, priceless... We have checked, these boxes are mostly gold and silver utensils, and there are some cloths over there. Second Brother Lu, you should have seen a lot of these things before, are they real?"

"They are indeed real. If there are jade or porcelain items, you must tell them to be careful and handle them gently."

"The journey along the way is not easy. If there are really large fragile porcelain items, it might be better to just smash them."

"That's true..." Lu Junyi nodded, "Along the way, Brother Zhu's haul was the cleanest and most efficient."

"Haha, where, Brother Lin and the others' prison break in Jiangning was also famous."

"Brother Zhu hasn't received the detailed report from there? You don't know the details?"

"Indeed, we have been stopping and going along the way. But we have already heard about it on the way." Zhu Wu thought for a while, "What is the situation? Could there be any unexpected problems?"

Lu Junyi frowned: "The prison break was smooth sailing, but Brother Xi went to that family to seek revenge, and something happened, encountering a tough opponent. I heard... Brother Wei Dingguo was killed at the time, but Brother Bao Xu and Brother Xue Yong are now crippled."

"How could this be!?" Zhu Wu was surprised, and after thinking about it, he asked, "The one who went there was Brother Lin Chong. His spear skills are unparalleled, plus Tie Niu's martial arts and temperament, the Su family should have been slaughtered, right?"

"No." Lu Junyi shook his head, "I heard that after killing some people, the other party, with his own strength, killed Brother Wei and injured Brother Bao and Brother Xue. Later, he confronted the rest of the people and forced them back. According to the letter sent, that person is cunning and despicable, and extremely difficult to deal with..."

He said cunning and despicable, but Zhu Wu and others could naturally hear other feelings from it. Zhang Shun frowned there and said: "There was only one person?"

"Well, what Brother Xi said before was the Son-in-Law who married the Su family's daughter. Before, everyone thought he was a scholar, but in the end, they all capsized in the gutter." Lu Junyi raised his head, "Named Ning Liheng. Tie Niu and the others said that if they have the opportunity, they must go back and kill him, and then kill the Su family."

"Of course, that's what we have to do!" Someone shouted among the crowd, "I wish I could kill Jiangning right now!"

"Hey, let's finish this matter first. In any case, the court will definitely lose face because of this incident. This is the right thing to do. After all the things are transferred again, they will never be able to catch up with us... Everyone, you did a good job this time, let's finish it and then think about other things!"

"Good!"

"Let's do things first!"

"******Jiangning..."

"Just remember that person's name—"

Not wanting to be affected by the news, everyone shouted, and the minions who were carrying things, seeing their leaders shouting, some also waved their weapons or clapped: "Good!"

"Roar—"

Such a sound rang out for a while, and everyone began to continue moving the last boxes. At this time, in the small forest at the end of the field of vision, there was a sudden roar, and then the sound of horses' hooves rushing out. A person riding a warhorse suddenly rushed over. The sentry posts far and near had been alarmed, but the man also shouted: "Be careful... cough, ambush... coming over..."

Zhu Wu originally had more than a hundred people, and Lu Junyi also had nearly a hundred elite troops. At this time, the swords and soldiers were drawn with a swoosh. Someone had already recognized him: "It's Little Brother Yi!" In the blink of an eye, Yan Qing, soaked and stained with blood, had rushed to the near place. He staggered off his horse and looked towards the rear: "They... they have already seen through it, cough cough..."

"What's wrong, what happened?"

"I, I don't know, I was on the boat, I thought I hadn't been seen through, but not long ago, suddenly a person appeared, they... they may have been setting up an ambush before. I don't know that person, it seems... called Ning Liheng..."

"..."

Yan Qing didn't understand the meaning of this name. After Li Shishi introduced the other party, the other party immediately became alert. What exactly did such a reaction mean, he had been thinking about it. And what made him the most chilling was the situation he saw when he rushed in just now.

He originally wanted to tell this group of brothers about the matter, and he had been careful not to be followed all the way. However, when he arrived near the place, he suddenly discovered countless soldiers silently surrounding them, holding bows and arrows, forming a large circle. Yan Qing was also seen at the time. He wanted to desperately send out a warning in despair, so he tried his best to break through the formation. However, the other party didn't know what kind of order they had received. Countless arrows were pointed at him, but they were coldly watching him rush in, just going forward, without firing an arrow.

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere on the scene was almost ice-cold. At the same time, by the edge of the small forest, there was a sound, it was the sound of applause and tapping, just like the roar they had made to boost their morale before, but it was sparse, with only two or three people.

Several horses slowly walked out from there. The people on the horses were clapping. When Yan Qing saw it, he recognized it. It was Ning Liheng. On the horses next to him were Chen Jingui, Wenren Bu'er, and the Qi Xinyong brothers. Yan Qing said: "That's Ning Liheng..." When he looked over again, following behind the horses were countless soldiers gradually spreading out, holding knives, guns, bows and arrows, they silently surrounded them from all directions.

Such a huge encirclement was like the situation in a war with thousands of troops, and it was also because they started to draw the encirclement circle from a very far place, or had elites sweeping in front, that the sentries arranged in the lineup of more than two hundred people failed to detect or warn in time. It was also because of the joint efforts of the Princess Consort's Mansion, the Birthday Congratulation Tribute, and the Secret Investigation Division that so many troops could be mobilized this time.

Boats began to come down from the upstream of the river.

But at this time, apart from the rustling footsteps, the only thing that was really ear-piercing was the icy applause led by Ning Yi. There was no smile on Ning Yi's face on the warhorse, but Chen Jingui was smiling brightly and following the applause.

"Good—"

It was like a continuation of their previous cheers, but it seemed a bit abrupt.

Ning Yi looked left and right: "Come and help clap."

Qi Xinhan tucked the steel spear under his arm and clapped expressionlessly.

Clap clap, clap clap clap.

"Well done."

Clap—clap clap—

"Congratulations."

"You snatched the Birthday Congratulation Tribute."

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

In the night wind, the monotonous, unrythmical applause. (To be continued. Vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
