Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Zhang Feng never expected that Nangong Jin would hit him. He was not paying attention and was slapped to the ground. The loud slap startled the soldiers and servants who were transporting goods, and they all looked over.

"Brother Feng." Zhang, who came with Nangong Jin, saw this scene and her face changed. She stepped forward quickly and stood in front of Zhang Feng, saying, "Brother Feng is also venting the anger of the Nangong family. It's for the good of the master. Why did you hit him?"

"Brother Feng, are you okay?" Zhang helped Zhang Feng up with concern.

The siblings' parents had long passed away. In their absence, Zhang, the eldest sister, acted like a mother, and she felt heartbroken.

"For my own good, he's hoping that I'll die sooner rather than later." Nangong Jin was so angry that his liver ached.

"Master, Brother Feng has been dedicated to the Nangong family. How can you say such things? It is so hurtful." Zhang was dissatisfied when she heard this.

Zhang Feng did not hate Nangong Jin for this. After all, this brother-in-law was very good to him. He covered his beaten face and said a little aggrievedly: "Brother-in-law, how could you think of me like this? Isn't it enough that Chen Mo has bullied us? Do you want to endure it all the time, brother-in-law?

I know we can't afford to offend him on land, but now that we have fled overseas, why should we be afraid of him? They have bullied me many times, and I am taking revenge this time, so what's wrong with that? "

In fact, Zhang Feng did not deliberately seek revenge on the Wei fleet. He just happened to meet them on his way back. Thinking of the grievances he had suffered in the Wei fleet, he became furious and took revenge.

Seeing Zhang Feng's aggrieved look and his wife protecting him, Nangong Jin's rising anger suddenly had no reason to vent. He sighed and said:

"Don't you see what kind of person Chen Mo is? He is vindictive. If he hears that you robbed his goods, will he be able to tolerate this? Although we are far away from the land, it is only a month away, and many small countries overseas are his vassal states. If he sends troops to attack, how should we deal with it?

If he learns about the Fairy Island and becomes interested in it, will we still be able to control the sea area of ​​Gu Luo Kingdom?"

Nangong Jin blamed Zhang Feng for not thinking things through.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. I have led people to destroy this fleet. No one is left alive. The ships are all destroyed and the bodies are thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Moreover, there were big waves the next day. After the waves, there is probably no trace left now. The sea is so big, how can the Wei Dynasty know who did it?" Zhang Feng's grievance disappeared, and instead he patted his chest and smiled, as if you can rest assured that I will do the job.

Nangong Jin was originally just so angry that his liver ached, but now when he heard these words, he almost fainted.

If they just wanted to rob the goods, they could still have some hope, but Da Wei felt that Bo Liu was too far away and it was not worth mobilizing a large army to make the trip.

But now, they have destroyed their seagoing fleet, which is like throwing the face of the Wei Dynasty to the ground and trampling on it.

Based on his understanding of Chen Mo, maybe Chen Mo would personally lead his troops overseas to investigate.

Wouldn’t Wei find out?
The entire fleet was gone. When the Wei Maritime Customs saw that the fleet had not returned by the specified time, they guessed that something might have happened, so they would definitely send people out to sea to investigate.

Zhang Feng said it easily, but he didn't let anyone survive.

The entire fleet going out to sea has at least one or two thousand people.

Can he guarantee that nothing will go wrong?
Once something is found out, it will be a disaster.

Before, Chen Mo only imposed "financial" punishment on the Nangong family, which was a lot of noise but little action.

But this will never be tolerated.

Nangong Jin had a strong sense of crisis, and when he thought about the possible consequences of this incident, he wanted to run away.

It was no use blaming Zhang Feng anymore. He said, "Hurry up and prepare. It will take at least half a year for the Wei Kingdom to learn of the disaster and send people to investigate and deal with the aftermath. We must evacuate here during this time." He looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Didn't you say you found an uninhabited island a few days ago? We should temporarily evacuate to the uninhabited island to avoid the limelight."

"Brother-in-law, is this necessary?" Zhang Feng didn't want to leave. How long had he just moved away from Chaoping County? He finally settled down in Boliu, and he couldn't stand running away.

"If you want to be caught by Chen Mo and sentenced to death, then you should continue to stay here."

Since they had decided to move out, Nangong Jin did not hesitate and quickly gave the order.

The entire property of the Nangong family is on Boliu Island. It will take time to take it all away.

The entire country of Boliu began to get busy.

When the local natives learned that the Nangong family was leaving, they were so happy that they wanted to celebrate with drums and gongs.

The country of Boliu was their homeland, but now it had been occupied by the Nangong family. Not only that, they had also become slaves of the Nangong family and were enslaved by the Nangong family and its subordinates.

……

Xue Gu woke up two days after being rescued.

He still had a fever and a severe headache, but he was still conscious and could speak.

When Chen Mo learned that he had woken up, he couldn't wait to ask him questions.

"Sir Xue, the emperor is here to see you." Nangong Xianxian walked into the room where Xue Gu was resting and said.

"His Majesty?"

Xue Gu was feeling very uncomfortable now. When he heard Nangong Xian's words, he didn't understand for a while. Until a handsome young man strode in, he sat up suddenly in panic, and wanted to get off the bed to salute Chen Mo.

He worked in the Honglu Temple and had met Chen Mo.

"Don't move, just lie still."

Chen Mo walked over quickly and helped Xue Gu lie down again.

Xue Gu felt flattered and extremely excited. As a diplomat of the Wei Dynasty, he was a guest of honor in almost every country when he traveled abroad before.

Why do these countries treat him like this?
Is it because of himself?
He doesn't have the face for it yet.

But behind him stood a powerful country - the Great Wei.

He is proud of the Great Wei, and now he has the honor of getting close to the Emperor of the Great Wei. One can imagine how he feels.

Chen Mo did not rush to ask him about the fleet, but asked about his physical condition first.

Xue Gu felt very honored to receive such concern from a big shot. He even felt that people around him were looking at him with envy, which made his vanity soar.

So, even though he still felt uncomfortable, Xue Gu insisted that he was fine.

After offering his condolences, Chen Mo stopped wasting time and asked directly, "Xue Gu, what happened before you fell unconscious? Who attacked you?"

Xue Gu was originally very excited, but when he heard this, the scene in front of him suddenly returned to that afternoon.

It was a nice day, sunny and windy.

Just then, a huge fleet came towards them.

Seeing the style of the ship and the people on board were from Zhongzhou, Xue Gu thought they were from his own country and greeted them happily.

The other side also responded enthusiastically.

This made Xue Gu and his men let down their guard, but when the enemy fleet approached, they were greeted by a barrage of rockets.

Xue Gu and his men were attacked.

Xue Gu was not very clear about the subsequent scenes.

He was a civil servant and an ambassador of the Wei Dynasty.

Shortly after the attack, he was protected by soldiers and hid in the cabin.

He could only hear bursts of wailing and shouting, which was quite noisy.

After an unknown amount of time, the main ship he was on was hit by a warship.

Fortunately, the main ship was a "Mengchuang" wrapped in raw cowhide, and apart from a slight shaking, there was no damage at all.

But precisely because of this, the main ship suffered the most intense fire attack.

During the period when the soldiers on the ship rebelled and the main ship sank.

Xue Gu seemed to have gone through the longest period of his life. The soldiers who protected him fell in front of him one by one.

The wailing of his colleagues and the blood splattered on the ground deeply hurt his heart.

Then he was stabbed in the chest.

He fainted from the pain.

The enemy thought he was dead and threw him into the sea.

Then he woke up.

He saw corpses being thrown off the main ship by the enemy, including the fleet's commander.

All around him were wrecked ships that were taking on water and starting to sink, with flames rushing towards them.

The enemy moved the cargo from the ship to their own ship and then destroyed it.

The smoke and dust produced by the burning rose into the sky.

Maybe because the surrounding environment was too chaotic, the enemy did not notice that he was still alive.

Although Xue Gu was still alive, what awaited him next was a nightmare.

He was seriously injured and couldn't move at all. He could only hold on to a piece of wood, soak in the sea water, and let the waves carry him away.

That night, the water was very cold and it was raining, so he was frozen all night.

The waves on the second day were so huge that he was swept into the sea. The feeling of drowning and being unable to resist suffocation became Xue Gu's nightmare.

Just the thought made Xue Gu, a forty-year-old man, tremble with fear.

Xue Gu didn't know the specific identity of the enemy.

But from the accent, Xue Gu could tell that he was from Chuanhai.

There is also a ship that is almost the same style as the Fish Scale Guard warship.

Although Xue Gu could not confirm it, all the information he said pointed to the Nangong family.

You should know that the warship blueprints used by the Fish Scale Guards were from the Nangong family, and the shipyard was also built with the help of the Nangong family.

Therefore, apart from the Yulinwei, the only family that has this style of ship is the Nangong family.

And that Zhongzhou face.
Chen Mo's face darkened.

"Your Majesty, that's right." Xue Gu had a severe headache. Some things needed to be recalled slowly. He said, "I remember that Lord Zhongli said before his death that the enemy commander was a top-grade warrior, and Lord Zhongli was also shot dead by the enemy commander with just one arrow."

The Lord Zhongli that Xue Gu mentioned was the commander of his fleet, a fourth-rank warrior.

There are only a handful of top-grade warriors in the Wei Dynasty.

Therefore, the main commander who led the team every time was only a mid-level warrior of the fourth or fifth rank.

However, considering the strength of these small countries overseas, middle-grade warriors are considered the top warriors of these small countries, which is enough.

"Top-grade warriors?" Nangong Xian frowned and said to Chen Mo, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are no top-grade warriors in the Heluo Strait, including the countries close to the Polyus-Liuzhou trade route."

Chen Mo's face was cold, and he asked again: "When you were attacked, were you near the waters of Boliu Kingdom?"

Xue Gu thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, that's right."

Chen Mo didn't say another word. He turned around and left the room where Xue Gu was placed with a sullen face.

After Nangong Xian followed out, Chen Mo said in a deep voice: "This is simply unforgivable. If I find out that this was really done by Nangong Jin and the others, I will make them wish they were dead."

Nangong Xian shuddered when he heard Chen Mo's words.

June 10th, the second year of Zhenguan.

"The Boliu Kingdom actually set up a sentry post on the sea and sent special ships to patrol nearby."

Chen Mo opened his eyes in a room on the second floor of a merchant ship thirty miles away from the Kingdom of Boliu.

The maximum distance of his soul's wandering has now reached twenty miles. Just now, his soul went out to look around. If he sailed over like this, he would probably be discovered by the sentry before he got close to the coast, thus alerting the enemy.

This is definitely not the work of the natives of the Kingdom of Boliu.

And looking at the faces of those sentries, Chen Mo became more and more convinced that the Nangong family had really hidden here.

"We can't get any closer, or we'll be discovered."

Chen Mo got out of bed and said to Yue Ruyan who was protecting him.

“Then how do we get to the island?”

As soon as she said this, Yue Ruyan's face turned red with embarrassment. She almost forgot that Chen Mo was already a warrior in the celestial realm and could fly.

Chen Mo said: "Wait until it gets dark, then I'll fly over."

"Are you alone?" Yue Ruyan was a little worried.

"I'm enough. Too many people won't be good." Chen Mo said.

His current cultivation level is far ahead of other top-grade warriors.

……

At night, Chen Mo just gave a brief explanation to Yue Ruyan and Nangong Xian, then soared into the sky under the cover of darkness.

Nangong Xian watched Chen Mo flying higher and higher with his mouth wide open.

After all, he only now realized that Chen Mo was already a first-grade warrior.

The boat became smaller and smaller under Chen Mo, and finally turned into a light spot like a firefly.

The higher Chen Mo flew, the colder the temperature became, until it reached a point so low that even he couldn't bear it, and then it slowly descended.

He had just made a rough estimate and it must be more than a thousand feet.

Landing in an empty dark place on Boliu Island, Chen Mo raised his hand and touched his hair. It was all wet, and the hair on his forehead was blown up into the sky by the wind, looking quite wild.

After tidying up a bit, Chen Mo approached the direction of a construction site with large lights on that he had just seen from the sky.

In an environment where the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, with Chen Mo's strength, it is extremely easy for him to get close without being discovered.

The reason why he didn't use soul wandering was that he hadn't recovered yet after using it during the day. The key point was that after soul wandering, no one on the island could protect his real body.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Mo arrived at the construction site.

This building site is very low, incomparable to the houses of the Wei Dynasty. There are soldiers in armor patrolling and standing guard around it.

Chen Mo hid his figure in the darkness and sneaked in quietly like a nimble night cat.

Soon, he saw a familiar figure.

ps: I wish you all a happy new year, good luck in the Year of the Snake, good health, and great fortune! (End of this chapter)
