Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 668 I have met the Prefect, and I am willing to die for him.

"Cough cough..."

Du Xiong coughed twice, then exhaled a puff of black smoke. His entire body was blackened by the shells, making him look extremely miserable. However, the bronze glow on his skin proved that he had not suffered much damage and was still in very good condition.

It's just a bit dark-skinned.

Du Xiong slowly walked out, and after careful observation, some people finally recognized him.

"Yes, General Du!"

Someone shouted, "General Du!" Some people didn't react and asked, "Which General Du?"

Upon hearing this, someone shouted, "Yes, it's Du Xiong, General Du!"

"General Du Xiong!"

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream and just realized what was happening. They all stared wide-eyed at the black man in front of them. Was he General Du?

At this moment, Chen Qi on the ground also realized that Du Xiong was the Prefect's personal guard. Now that he was here, where was the Prefect?
Thinking of this, Chen Qi suddenly looked towards the ship not far away. At this moment, everyone also saw the ship. They saw Chen Jie standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the island without any ripples.

At this moment, the soldiers of Huangzhou Prefecture on the entire island became excited and shouted, "It's the Prefect! The Prefect has arrived! Look, it really is the Prefect!"

In an instant, the entire island was filled with a joyful atmosphere. There was hope! The governor had arrived! Who were they afraid of? These damned Japanese dogs, your retribution has come!

Meanwhile, the pirates on the outer island and the Koga ninja were completely bewildered. At that moment, seeing the ship approaching from afar, the pirate leader picked up the Koga ninja's sword from the ground and handed it to him.

"Jonin Ito, what do we do now?"

The bandit looked at the Koga-ryu ninja and asked, "How do we escape? The enemy is very strong." Ito's gaze sharpened upon hearing this, and he quickly replied, "Try to escape. The enemy is very strong."

"Ah~"

The bandit exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be? You are a Jonin of the Koga school!"

Ito said, "Even Jonin are not invincible. The guy who flew in is indeed very strong, probably already at the Elder level."

The bandits were even more surprised: "Elder, elder level!"

He was extremely shocked. Ito, seeing this, did not speak, but simply nodded slightly. He was indeed terrifyingly strong.

At this moment, Du Xiong also realized what was happening and looked at Ito, saying, "Hey, you Japanese, come here. I'll give you a chance to cut me three times. After three cuts, I'll make my move."

“Our lord is about to land on the island. I don’t want him to see such a filthy thing as you then.”

Ito frowned upon hearing this and looked at Du Xiong, saying, "Sir, I know you are very strong, but you cannot rely on your strength to humiliate the Koga-ryu ninjas. We are not afraid of you!"

Du Xiong looked at Ito in front of him and said, "Whether you are afraid or not is your own business and has nothing to do with me. I just want to tell you that my patience is limited. You only have three chances. If you don't choose to be struck three times, then I will send you to the Western Paradise right now."

Ito exclaimed, "That's not fair!"

Du Xiong raised an eyebrow: "What kind of fairness do you want?"

Ito said, "It's not fair, it's so unfair! Your strength far surpasses mine, how could I possibly hurt you with just three strikes!"

Du Xiong looked at Ito and said, "What's the point of talking about fairness with a Japanese slave like you? Will you take the first strike or not?"

Ito: "You bastard, you've been bullying me with your strength. How can I let you humiliate me? Even if I can't beat you, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

Canglang...

The long sword was sheathed, and then Ito looked at Du Xiong and said, "Take this! Draw Sword Slash!"

brush!
Ito had already rushed to Du Xiong's side, and immediately drew his sword. With a swish, the blade sliced ​​across Du Xiong's neck...

Ito stopped, his wooden clogs making a thud on the ground. Then, with a flourish, he sheathed his sword and said coldly, "You were careless. Even if you've reached the Elder level, if your throat is slit, you'll only face death!"

"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being too arrogant!"

Ito gripped the hilt of his sword with a flourish, declaring his victory.

"The first knife!"

But before he could even maintain his cool demeanor for three seconds, a voice rang out, and Ito was instantly stunned, staring at Du Xiong with disbelief: "You, you're not dead?"

Du Xiong then turned around, completely unharmed. He looked at Ito and said, "The knife was sharp, but the strength was far too weak. It didn't even cut my skin. Did you not eat?"

"idiot!"

Ito immediately flew into a rage and said, "How could this be? No, it's impossible. It must be an illusion. It must be an illusion."

Ito roared and charged straight at Du Xiong, unleashing a flurry of sword strikes: "Murakumo Slash!"

Ito leaped up and slashed at Du Xiong's neck with his sword. A loud clang rang out, sparks flew, and the sword that had struck Du Xiong's neck bounced off.

At the same time, an ancient and vigorous power flowed through Du Xiong's body, even emitting a golden light on his neck.

Tread...  

Ito was knocked back by Du Xiong. He landed on his feet and retreated frantically. He finally managed to stand up and suddenly gripped his katana. His eyes were sharp as a hawk's, and he stared at Du Xiong with fear in his eyes.

At this moment, he gripped the hilt of the katana with both hands, his arms trembling wildly, and his eyes filled with increasing fear.

Seeing the cracks on the katana, Ito's hands trembled even more violently. What kind of sorcery was this? It was impervious to swords and spears. Was it even human?
Looking at Ito's appearance, Du Xiong said with a mocking smile, "I told you your Japanese swords are no good. Look at my fine head right here for you to cut off, and you still can't cut it off. What a disgrace!"

Ito clasped his hands together, watching Du Xiong approach him step by step, while he cautiously retreated, one step, two steps, one step, two steps.

Seeing Ito's hesitant expression, Du Xiong couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha... Japanese devil, you've already made two cuts, there's one more to go. Will you make this cut or not!"

Hearing this, Ito panicked even more and wanted to run away, but Du Xiong said, "If you fight, you might still have a chance to live. If you run away, you will definitely not survive today."

"Baka! Who said I was going to run away? The God of Ninjas will not allow me to do something as shameful as running away! I'm not running away, I'm going to kill! Kill!"

Seeing Ito's appearance, Du Xiong chuckled and said, "Looks like you still have some courage. In that case, come on, let me see your strongest strike."

"You idiot, I'll kill you!"

[The God of Slaughter Slashes with One Blade] "Ah..."

He raised his katana high above his head, channeling his inner energy into the blade. Then, he charged at Du Xiong with a devastating blow, like Mount Tai crashing down on him. "Die!"

This strike was truly powerful; a terrifying light appeared on the samurai sword, and a sharp aura shot straight into the sky.

Seeing the power of this strike, Du Xiong laughed: "Interesting, this is not bad."

Thinking this, he actually stuck his head out and went straight for the knife. Seeing this, everyone around gasped, shocked by Du Xiong's bravery. This was truly extraordinary courage.

I've never seen anyone actively catch a knife with their head before.

Today I've really learned something new; the samurai sword slammed down hard on Du Xiong's head.

With a clang, sparks flew everywhere. The blade struck as if it had hit a large iron ingot, making everyone's scalp tingle.

The katana, forged through countless trials, was instantly shattered in two upon encountering Du Xiong's iron-willed nature.

Ito was terrified and tried to run away, but the next moment a large hand grabbed his throat.

Uh uh…

Ito stared wide-eyed in pain at Du Xiong, his face filled with disbelief. He never imagined that this man's head was harder than a knife. He opened his mouth as if to call for help, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Du Xiong looked at Ito with a disdainful expression: "Giving you a chance won't help. Even if you slashed my head three times, I wouldn't be able to kill you. Since you've finished slashing, then take my punch. If you're still alive, I'll spare your life."

As Du Xiong spoke, he raised his hand, and Ito's face filled with terror as he cried out, "Yamete..."

boom!
With one punch, Ito's head flew everywhere like an exploding watermelon. Seeing such a terrifying scene, the group of pirates were all so frightened that they knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

Du Xiong looked at Ito in his hand, ignoring the bandits kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Their heads are as brittle as watermelons, they're useless."

Upon hearing this, everyone around, including those from Huangzhou Prefecture, felt a chill run down their spines. Who could compare to you, sir? Your head is harder than a steel knife.

"Du Xiong, stop pretending, you've messed up!"

Just when everyone was feeling incredibly terrified, a voice came over. Upon hearing this voice, everyone immediately felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, and their whole body felt much more comfortable.

At this moment, everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large ship with people getting off.

This man was dressed in black, with bright eyes and striking features, exuding a heroic and dashing aura.

Standing there, he exuded both friendliness and authority. Sensing this scene, Chen Qi, who had fallen to the ground, scrambled to his feet and ran to the side of the boat, followed by his personal guards.

At this moment, he knelt on one knee, clasped his hands, and said, "Chen Qi of the White Tiger Army, Xiaozi Battalion, greets Your Excellency."

Upon hearing this, the guards around him all shouted, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Chen Jie slowly walked up to Chen Qi, reached out his right hand and patted him on the shoulder. With just one pat, Chen Qi immediately felt his injuries miraculously healing. He felt a powerful force flowing through his meridians, and in a moment, his serious injuries, which would have required months of recuperation, were completely healed.

Chen Qi looked at the man in front of him with shock and admiration, and then heard Chen Jie say, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Chen Qi immediately stood up, his face full of excitement. The soldiers around him were also excited. Chen Jiu Si was a god-like figure in the White Tiger Army. It could be said that they would not even blink an eye if Chen Jie asked them to die.

Chen Jie looked at Chen Qi and said, "Chen Qi, it's been years since I last saw you, you've gotten quite a bit stronger!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi exclaimed excitedly, "Does the Prefect still recognize me?"

Chen Jie said, "How could I not know you? We're even from the same clan."

After Chen Jie finished speaking, Chen Qi became even more excited. Chen Qi was indeed from the same clan as Chen Jie, but he was not from Xiantao Village. Instead, he was from Shangtao Village. After Chen Jie established himself in Mianshui County, he became the well-known leader of the fishing gang and thus intended to win over the sect leader.

A family reunion meeting was held in several villages where the Chen family was concentrated, including Shangtao, Xiantao, and Xiatao, as well as in several villages scattered throughout Mianshui County.

The merger with the Chen family caused quite a stir at the time, with many people coming to claim kinship, even some who were completely unrelated. Chen Jie welcomed all of them.

After that, the fishing community recruited talents, including many members of the Chen clan who came to the area to recognize their relatives.

In such a world, clan still holds great importance.

During the Chu-Han Contention, Xiang Yu had 8,000 elite soldiers. Although Chen Jie could not compare to Xiang Yu, he still had more than 800 relatives. These relatives were all dispersed into various units, and those with ability would be promoted. Their loyalty was extremely high because their entire families were tied to Chen Jie. If Chen Jie was strong, their families were strong; if Chen Jie was defeated, their families would also decline. Therefore, they were Chen Jie's core support.

Chen Jie smiled and said to Chen Qi, "How could I not know you? Your Tiger Commander has praised you highly, saying that you are brave in battle and hardworking in training, and that you are a rare talent. It was your Tiger Commander who recommended you for this project to build a port in Liaodong."

"Thank you for your high regard, General Tiger and Your Excellency."

"Haha, there's no need for that. You're older than me. If we're going by the seniority system in our clan, it's only right that you call me your cousin."

"My subordinates dare not."

Chen Qi was about to kneel down when Chen Jie patted his shoulder and said, "Don't kneel. I have seen your bravery today. As long as Qingniwa Port can be built, you will be a hero of Huangzhou Prefecture, and all of you will be heroes of Huangzhou Prefecture in the conquest of the city!"

Upon hearing this, the people in the room immediately replied, "Yes, thank you, Your Excellency."

Chen Jie was encouraging the soldiers when Du Xiong walked over. His face was half red and half black – the red from blood and the black from cannon fodder. He looked at Chen Jie awkwardly and said, "I messed up because I didn't time it right. If I had another chance, I would definitely time it better and jump down earlier."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Du Xiong and said, "Go wash your face quickly, we'll talk about the rest later."

"it is good."

Du Xiong clasped his hands in response and then went to wash his face.

At this moment, Chen Qi saw the group of river bandits kneeling on the ground and asked Chen Jie, "My lord, what should we do with these river bandits?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at these people and said, "They are all Japanese slaves, let's bury them alive."

"Yes!"

Chen Qi immediately agreed.
