Yu Zecheng tapped his fingers on the table a dozen times, and suddenly remembered his original intention:
Originally, he just planned to take advantage of the chaos to attack Zhu Erniang. As long as the Bailong people restrain He Xiao and the escort team, Bejia's team can take action. What does it have to do with whether He Xiao dies or not?
Now that the situation is very good, why is he not decisive?
Taking a few steps back, even if there are other accidents, the manpower I brought is strong enough. What kind of situation cannot be dealt with?
If you miss tonight, when will you get the chance next time? I have been chasing Zhu Erniang for more than half a year, and I have also invited support from Lingxu City. Do I just watch it escape?
The military report would be sent back in a few days. How was he going to explain it to the Imperial Advisor? Because he was worried that the island owner would cheat his death, he kept his troops on hold and missed Zhu Erniang?
Such a ridiculous reason would only be regarded as a shirk of responsibility by the superiors, right? Not to mention sending it to Imperial Master Shuangye, he couldn't even write it out himself.
Wang Xingyi was standing on the second floor of the Jingshe. When Fang Canran came up, he saw his uncle looking towards the dock, his hair slightly wet.
"Sodin Island is very lively tonight." No one could ignore the previous explosion in the direction of the pier.
Fang Canran felt ashamed: "It seems like I came at the wrong time."
"No, I came at the right time." Wang Xingyi stroked his beard and smiled, "Sea journeys are always boring, and I thought this time was no exception. Well, hurricanes, imperial oozes, and riots are rarely so interesting."
Fang Canran was ashamed, the national master's perspective was indeed different from his own.
I don't know if He Xiao can sort out so many messes tonight. The National Master will definitely review his performance tonight for evaluation.
Should I say he is lucky or not?
At this moment, several rough roars came from the distance:
"He Lingchuan is dead, He Lingchuan is dead, I killed him!"
"I killed him—I chopped off his head!"
With the blessing of the wind, the roar was transmitted directly into Bailang Villa and into the ears of the two people.
Wang Xingyi glanced at Fang Canran and was surprised: "So fast? He Xiao seems to have just left the hot spring house."
"This..." Fang Canran also looked stunned, "Isn't this possible?!"
The person who can blow up the Xushan barrier and escape from the joint pursuit of Baizhan Tianshen and Qingyang Imperial Master has his head chopped off by the rioters just after he walked out of the hot spring house?
What a black joke!
The murderer was so proud that he didn't look like he had a city in his chest.
If He Xiao was really killed by such a person, well, he would die with his eyes open, right?
Wang Xingyi waved, and three guards appeared behind him. He turned around and whispered a few words. The guards nodded in agreement, put on their casual clothes, went downstairs and ran out of Bailang Villa.
Fang Canran knew that Wang Guoshi had sent them out to find out the news.
After all, they live here as guests. If Sodin Island really changes hands, the Imperial Master's group of more than a hundred people will have to deal with the unexpected situation.
Other guards began to set up formations and barriers in the villa to prevent foreign enemies from coming and suddenly attacking.

When the wharf exploded, Wan Qifeng had already led his tribe to pass by Ding Lake and continue to move southwest.
There was no wind protection barrier along this road, and the cold icy rain slapped people's faces randomly. The ground was slippery and the road conditions were so bad that even the Bailong soldiers couldn't walk fast on this kind of night road.
The sound of the explosion reached here along the wind. Everyone looked back and saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of the pier and black smoke curling up.
"Why did the fight start so early?" Wan Qifeng certainly knew that the explosion at the dock was a signal for his side to take action, and he arranged for his men to place those explosive barrels.
But before the Imperial Ooze came down, the dock exploded, which was inconsistent with the original plan.
His premonition came true, this ambush was really full of variables.
His subordinates asked him: "Young Master, what should we do?"
Wan Qifeng stared at the soaring fire, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.
After a while, he said: "Keep on going to Southwest Beach!"
Now that he has broken with his old uncle, he has only one goal:
Lead the Bailong people to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
However, not long after, another arrow shot up from behind, exploding into green and red fireworks.
The fireworks don't last long because the wind is very strong.
But this Bailong team still saw it: "Young Master, Young Master, look!"
"No way?" Wan Qifeng stared at the direction where the fireworks were rising, which was the Qingyun Road section, where the old uncle was lying in ambush, "They actually succeeded?"
The distance was too far and he couldn't hear Wan Qisong's wild laughter, but he could understand the meaning of the fireworks:
He Xiao has been captured!
This sneak attack... was successful? Wan Qifeng couldn't believe it.
Are your worries purely unnecessary?
The key is, what to do now?
According to the original plan, after the old man captured He Lingchuan, he would seize the docks, warehouses, commercial and residential areas, hot springs and other building areas, quickly capture the entire island, and defeat and conquer the Yangshan Guards on the island.
Without his more than 400 main players, his progress will definitely not be faster.
Rain kept dripping from his chin. Wan Qifeng rubbed his face twice and finally made up his mind: "Everyone, turn around and go to the dock!"
Between the island and the battle, he still chose the latter.
He knew very well that if he missed this opportunity, the wind and waves would get worse and the ship would not be able to go to sea.

Eastern part of Sodin Island.
A dark shadow emerged from the fir forest and jumped down to the cliff like a swing, intending to enter the main road from here.
This is a hill-like spider with sharp spines all over its body.
This mountain road is also one of the main roads around the island on Sodin Island, connecting the northern pier and the eastern dock. There are many houses along the way, so it also enjoys the protection of the windproof barrier.
However, Soldin Island issued an announcement in advance that residents were not allowed to go out at home tonight, so the road was quiet and there was not even a ghost.
The burrowing spider took two more steps, then suddenly stopped and said with a loud sound:
"Stop hiding, come out."
It was quiet all around.
The burrowing spider queen was very patient and stood motionless.
Sure enough, a dozen figures emerged from the dense forest on the side of the mountain, led by Ye Qing.
Yu Zecheng gave the order to attack, and he led his team to ambush here.
Zhu Erniang wanted to rush to the eastern dock. Taking this route was the fastest and easiest.
"Congratulations, the island master is dead! Zhu Erniang, surrender obediently and we won't make it difficult for you..."
Before she finished speaking, many burrowing spiders of different sizes jumped out from Zhu Erniang's body and rushed toward the Bega people like a tide.
Some were spinning silk, some were spitting out acid, and some were jumping seven or eight feet straight towards people's faces.
The small one is not as big as a coconut, but it is highly poisonous. Whether it is sprayed or bitten, the wound will be swollen like a steamed bun, filled with pus, and you can hear the sound of water when you shake it.
The big ones can keep up with calves, can lift their legs to fight with people, and their shells are incredibly hard.
Zhu Erniang would attack them as soon as they disagreed, without giving them any time to persuade them to surrender or make any remarks.
