Chapter 1171: Chapter 1157: Flying Ship Chapter 1171: Chapter 1157: Flying Ship Hurrying along, Ma Zi seed to rember sothing. Wasn’t that masked person the one who last night had declared himself from Iron Ten Thousand Island and mocked him as a ‘short winter lon’ in an effeminate voice? He asked, “Is the one who bumped into the sa guy who claid to have co on the Flying Ship?” Turning his head back, those two individuals had already disappeared into the crowd.
With that remark, he imdiately jogged the mory of a fellow next to him who said, “Hmm, seems like it was that guy.”
Ma Zi touched his eyes, which had been tearing up all day. He was determined for revenge and intended to go back and look for the perpetrator.
But he was stopped by soone who said, “Brother, the big picture is more important. It won’t be good if we ss up the boss’s plans.”
Indeed, they had significant business tonight, and if they screwed it up, the local toughs would skin them alive.
One of his underlings added, “Once we settle this matter, it’ll be easy to deal with them.”
Convinced by the reasoning, Short Winter lon said, “Did you get a good look at that guy? After we finish the boss’s business, go back and draw ten portraits of him. Even if he hides in a rat hole, you must find him for . How dare he curse like dog crap and strike in the eye.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll handle it. We’ll definitely find him,” assured the underling.
Short Winter lon didn’t turn around but continued forward, adding, “That fellow’s got so skills. Did you see his martial arts last night? Does that look like Iron Ten Thousand Island’s martial arts to you?”
The hefty man next to him, despite never having been to Iron Ten Thousand Island, had seen their martial arts before and shook his head, “Doesn’t seem much like it. I think he’s muddying the waters, trying to intimidate us by using the na of Iron Ten Thousand Island.”
“Exactly, there’s no way that sissy could be from Iron Ten Thousand Island.”
Black Demonic Spirit rembered sothing when he heard Red Demonic Spirit say that they were local toughs; soone from Qiandu Xiang’s camp had made contact with the local toughs. Now these people were hastening toward the back, clearly heading in the direction of Qingfeng Inn, which raised Black Demonic Spirit’s suspicions as he glanced backward.
“Why are they heading in the direction of Qingfeng Inn?”
Black Demonic Spirit was at a at sandwich bun stand when Red Demonic Spirit ntioned this, saying, “Are you implying they might be working with Qiandu Xiang?” He had heard nothing about a collaboration between Qiandu Xiang and the local toughs in the plan.
Red Demonic Spirit grew anxious and said, “If they’re going there with a group now, there’s a very high chance they’re collaborating with Qiandu Xiang. Hurry up and buy the stuff; we need to get back quick.” He had to report this discovery to Shao Hengjiang—being forewarned would be an advantage if it turned out to be true.
Black Demonic Spirit glancing at Red Demonic Spirit, quickly bought ten at sandwich buns and left.
A sudden thought struck him as he said, “Last night, when I was fighting with Short Winter lon, he outed his affiliation, and I carelessly claid to be from Iron Ten Thousand Island. That shouldn’t cause any trouble, right?”
“What, you said you were from Iron Ten Thousand Island?”
Black Demonic Spirit hurriedly explained, “At that mont he outed himself as a local tough, and I was a bit tipsy. I couldn’t let him push around, so I pretended to be from Iron Ten Thousand Island.”
“Did you say anything else?”
“I might have ntioned the ‘Flying Ship’.”
“You… why didn’t you say so last night!”
He didn’t dare ntion it at the ti and quickly said, “It was just a slip of the tongue.”
“Any slight clue could lead to the failure of our plan.”
Black Demonic Spirit, feeling like he did sothing wrong, remarked, “It shouldn’t co to that, right? If they had found any clue, why would they still act tonight?”
That did make sense. Red Demonic Spirit, worried, said, “Let’s hurry, we need to get back quickly.”
Mumbling, Black Demonic Spirit said, “You’re not going to tell Shao Hengjiang, are you?”
“We’ll talk when we get back. Did you get everything you needed?”
“Yes, everything’s bought,” he said, munching on a sesa seed cake.
“Then let’s hurry.” Red Demonic Spirit was sowhat worried—it was imperative to inform Shao Hengjiang of the situation as soon as possible, whether the local toughs were really collaborating with Qiandu Xiang or not, just to be prepared.
Upon eting Shao Hengjiang, Red Demonic Spirit recounted their recent encounter.
Shao Hengjiang fell silent, while Ouyang Yue asked, “Are you suggesting that Qiandu Xiang is very likely collaborating with the local toughs to go against Uncle Nangong?”
Red Demonic Spirit analyzed, “It’s highly possible. I saw them rushing over here with a group just now, as if they had urgent business. Moreover, Short Winter lon seed to recognize Black Demonic Spirit. Black Demonic Spirit had a fight with him last night and landed a punch, but he ignored it and hurriedly left.”
Shao Hengjiang was taken aback and said, “What, you got into a fight with soone last night?”
Black Demonic Spirit quickly offered an explanation but left out the part about revealing his affiliation.
Shao Hengjiang was stunned.
Red Demonic Spirit hastily added, “There’s sothing else you should know. At the ti, he claid to be from Iron Ten Thousand Island and also ntioned the Flying Ship.”
Shao Hengjiang glared and blurted, “What, you’re saying we’ve docked?”
Seeing the murderous look on Shao Hengjiang, the Red Demonic Spirit quickly explained, “No, I didn’t say the Flying Ship had docked. I just said I was from Iron Ten Thousand Island.”
“You, you’re just looking to cause trouble for , aren’t you?” Shao Hengjiang looked like he was about to hit soone.
The Red Demonic Spirit hurriedly said, “I think, maybe things aren’t as bad as they seem. After all, Qiandu Xiang is already in the jar. If he had noticed sothing was wrong last night, how could he have possibly co in?”
Shao Hengjiang thought it made sense and wasn’t so angry anymore. However, the fact that the local snakes wanted to help Qiandu Xiang still surprised him. But his n had already been sent out, and action was expected soon. To notify the others now was definitely impossible. He said, “Red Demonic Spirit, I’m entrusting you with a team. Keep watch for . If the local snakes really participate, help deal with them. Don’t let them cause any trouble.”
“I’ll do my best,” the Red Demonic Spirit promised.
“Shouldn’t we tell Monkey and the others?” Ouyang Yue was getting anxious.
Shao Hengjiang said, “There’s no ti.”
The Black Demonic Spirit suggested, “Maybe I could give it a try.”
Shao Hengjiang exclaid, “Do you think you haven’t caused enough trouble for already!”
The Red Demonic Spirit said, “How about this: you handle the lookout with Ouyang Yue and the Black Demonic Spirit, and I’ll try to notify them.”
Shao Hengjiang had no better plan.
Ouyang Yue said, “I think we should try. If they really join forces, we should let Ye Chen be ntally prepared.”
Shao Hengjiang could only say, “Alright, but be careful.”
The Red Demonic Spirit quickly left. He knew the specific plan, and his martial arts skills were, relatively speaking, quite good.
At that mont, Shao Hengjiang had no capable people at hand. He pointed at the Black Demonic Spirit as if he wanted to clean him up, but he desperately needed manpower. He demanded, “Can you keep watch for ?”
“Don’t worry; I will do my best.” Then, he turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Ouyang Yue glared at the Black Demonic Spirit and said, “You, you’re about to spill our entire plan, aren’t you?”
“Hey, I just blurted it out. He was using his identity to intimidate , and I didn’t recognize any other factions, so I just said it. I didn’t really say anything.”
“Then why didn’t you say that we were plotting a counterasure?”
The Black Demonic Spirit, knowing the girl was blaming him, disdainfully replied, “I never thought sothing like this would happen.”
“Of course, you didn’t think. If the plan really fails, you’ll see how I deal with you.” But what the Red Demonic Spirit just said made a lot of sense. If Qiandu Xiang knew their plan, how would he have walked into the trap? It ant his plan hadn’t been exposed yet.
Ma Zi brought people to see Yang Zuotai. Yang Zuotai was a bit angry, worrying that he would delay important matters, and that the local snakes would hold him accountable. He did not want to anger the local snakes and said, “You little bastard, don’t you know what ti it is? Are you not willing to participate, huh?”
Ma Zi hurriedly explained, “No, I do want to participate. I was just delayed by so things; otherwise, I would have arrived earlier.” Yang Zuotai had brought him in, and previously, Ma Zi hadn’t enjoyed such good food and drinks. Everyone used to look down on him because of his short stature, and they laughed at him, saying his face looked like cow dung.
Yang Zuotai could empathize and had pulled him in. Ma Zi was grateful to Yang Zuotai.
“What happened to your eyes?” Although Ma Zi often caused him trouble, he was still diligent because he had been born with a defect and knew the taste of despair, unlike those able-bodied ruffians who lacked gratitude.
“Last night, I ran into a sissy, and he punched when I wasn’t careful.”
“Haha, picking on girls again, huh?” Yang Zuotai knew him too well; most girls looked down on him, and he often took it out on them. He asked, “Who hit you?”
“Soone claiming to be from Iron Ten Thousand Island. His martial arts weren’t bad—several of us were no match for him.”
Yang Zuotai was startled upon hearing this and asked, “What? Soone from Iron Ten Thousand Island is on Freedom Island?” He beca on guard.
“No, he said he was from Iron Ten Thousand Island, from the Flying Ship. I think he was just sprouting nonsense.”
Yang Zuotai beca even more cautious as he said, “The Flying Ship.” Indeed, the Flying Ship belonged to Iron Ten Thousand Island, and not many people knew about it. Moreover, among the ships that had escaped during the siege of the Thirty-Six Islands, the Flying Ship was one.
“That’s what he said, but he didn’t use Iron Ten Thousand Island’s martial arts.”
This reminder, however, startled Yang Zuotai, who murmured, “People from Iron Ten Thousand Island on Freedom Island? Impossible.” But why would he ntion the Flying Ship?
“That sissy was talking nonsense. How could the Flying Ship be on Freedom Island? If the Flying Ship were here, how could we possibly not know?” murmured Ma Zi.
“Tell exactly what happened.”
