Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 856: Jinfan Pirates
Seeing that the last batch of hidden agents were about to be cleared out, Zhang Yun let out a long sigh of relief.

"Get ready to march. After the soldiers in the water get on board..."

"what……"

"Wow..."

Without any warning, bursts of screams came from the river, and soon after, a scarlet color suddenly appeared on the water surface, which looked extremely shocking.

Zhang Yun was shocked by such a sudden change: "What happened again? Quick, send someone to check it out."

However, the soldiers who were clearing out the hidden troops in the river seemed to have encountered some terrible monster in the water. They screamed and swam desperately towards the boat.

Behind them, apart from the ripples they left behind, there was no movement at all. However, despite this, these thousands of soldiers kept floundering and sinking to the bottom of the water, as if something had grabbed them from the bottom of the water. The many soldiers on the boat felt their scalps tingling when they saw this scene, and they involuntarily moved towards the middle of the boat.

"Monster... There is a monster in the water..."

"It must be that our army has angered the gods in this battle, and the river god has come to punish us. That must be the case..."

"It's too scary, River God, please forgive us, we won't dare to do it again, we won't dare to do it again..."

The soldiers on the boat knelt down one after another and kowtowed repeatedly towards the river.

"Everyone, get up! What river god? That's nonsense! Get up quickly!"

Zhang Yun was furious and shouted at the soldiers.

However, the deterrent power of this commander in the army was obviously far less shocking than the scene in the river where people were constantly being dragged into the water by unknown "monsters" and then blood floated on the surface of the river. The soldiers ignored him and continued to kowtow to the river.

At this time, the soldiers who swam the fastest finally climbed onto the boat. They were pale and trembling all over. As soon as they got on board, they collapsed directly on the deck.

"Ghosts...there are ghosts..."

These soldiers said this almost in unison, and as a result, the soldiers on the ship naturally became more frightened.

"Sure enough...Sure enough, it's the river god who came to punish us..."

"River God, please spare my life..."

Although Zhang Yun was extremely angry, he was helpless as so many soldiers were all like this. He couldn't just kill them all, right?

At this moment, a soldier jumped onto the deck and shouted loudly: "It's not a monster, it's a person... There are people underwater..."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, except Zhang Yun, who was surprised but also happy. He stepped forward quickly and grabbed the soldier.

"Did you see someone underwater with your own eyes?"

The river water was very cold in spring. The soldier had just come out of the water with his upper body naked. It was inevitable that his lips turned purple from the cold and his body was shaking slightly.

"I... I dived into the water to clear the last... hidden stake, when I suddenly saw a figure approaching from the side. He killed a soldier next to me with one knife. I was frightened... I fled in panic. Fortunately, I am a good swimmer, so I barely escaped..."

"Okay, this general knew it. Someone must be secretly doing something wrong."

Zhang Yun felt a little relieved. Although he fell into the enemy's trap, people are easier to deal with than ghosts, right?
"What do those people look like..."

Just as he was about to ask for clarification, the deputy general beside him suddenly pushed him away: "General, be careful..."

When Zhang Yunzheng was confused, he suddenly saw a dagger flying past his scalp, which made him break out in a cold sweat and was terrified.

Before he could prepare, he saw iron hooks suddenly shot out from the water.

"Clap clap clap..."

These iron hooks hooked onto the ship's fence one by one, and then the ropes connected to the back of the hooks suddenly tightened.

"Wow..."

Suddenly, waves splashed, and figures jumped out of the water and landed on the deck one after another.

"kill."

I don't know which one of them shouted, but as soon as these hundreds of people landed on the ground, they waved their swords and rushed towards the nearby Jingzhou soldiers.

The soldiers of Jingzhou were still immersed in the fear of the "monster" and had not yet fully recovered. This sudden scene made them completely helpless and unprepared.

“Crack…” “Wow…”

"Help me..."

The sound of weapons cutting bones, screams, and people falling to the deck suddenly filled the air.

At this time, Zhang Yun finally came to his senses. When he saw the enemy that appeared out of nowhere, he thought it was Zhou Yu's navy. As the saying goes, when enemies meet, they become jealous of each other. Zhang Yun immediately became furious.

"Great Zhou Yu, he really has some tricks up his sleeve."

He said this in a low voice, then drew out his sword.

"I am Zhang Yun, the general of Jingzhou. Who is Zhou Yu? Come out and die."

"Hahaha... idiot, what a general of Jingzhou, what an idiot."

"Jingle Bell……"

Along with the pleasant sound of bells, a man's wild laughter and sarcastic words all came into Zhang Yun's ears.

"Who are you? You are sneaking around, hiding your head and showing your tail. How can you be called a hero? Do you dare to come out and fight me to the death?"

Zhang Yun was not afraid at all. He held his sword and looked around, trying to find this daring guy.

“Whoosh… bang…”

Two sounds came from behind him, and Zhang Yun suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He squatted slightly, turned backwards, and slashed behind him with his sword.

"clang……"

After the weapons collided, Zhang Yun only felt his arm shaking violently and pain in the palm of his hand. However, it was this encounter that allowed him to see the appearance of the person clearly.

This man was about twenty years old, with dark skin. He looked like someone who had grown up by the river for many years and was exposed to the wind and sun. He was soaked all over, with his upper body exposed, and looked extremely strong.

But the most important thing is that he has a rebellious look on his face, a condescending look full of contempt, and a brocade belt and two bells worn around his waist.

Zhang Yun seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed: "You...you...you...are you the Jinfan thief?"

The man grinned and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that you, a great general of Jingzhou, would know my name, Gan Ning? Hehe, but it's a pity. I don't think much of you. What a shitty general, shitty Zhang Yun, in my eyes, they are pure shit."

After saying that, he spat at the deck, which made Zhang Yun angry again.

"Gan Ning, don't go too far. Although you have been robbing merchant ships in Jing and Yang for many years and have never been caught, you are not invincible. Now that you dare to rob my Jingzhou navy fleet, I will let you know how powerful my army is."

Gan Ning snorted and looked him up and down. "Just you? It's not that I look down on you. Not to mention Zhang Yun, even if there are ten of them, they will be nothing but ghosts under my sword."

"Arrogant man, look at the sword."

Zhang Yun shouted angrily and raised his sword to stab, but Gan Ning just turned around and easily dodged it. At the same time, he turned the steel knife in his hand and slashed at Zhang Yun's back.

"System prompt: Gan Ning vs. Zhang Yun..."

In the past few days, Liu He had been somewhat annoyed by the system prompt sound, but after hearing this prompt sound, he became somewhat interested.

"Oh? Gan Ning finally showed up? He fought with Zhang Yun. Could it be that his Jinfan bandits have surrendered to Sun Jian? No, that's not right. Although the Flying Eagle Guards have not been able to completely infiltrate the areas of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, if the Jinfan bandits, who are known as the best pirates in Jiangnan, surrendered to some princes, how could the You brothers have no news? But if they had not been Sun Jian's subordinates, how could they have fought with the Jingzhou navy? After all, according to my information, the Jinfan bandits have never been enemies of the government. This is strange..."

Liu He thought about it over and over again but couldn't come up with a clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"Forget it. The truth will come out sooner or later anyway. Let's check Gan Ning's attributes first."

"System query, please wait..."

"Gan Ning, courtesy name Xingba, was a famous naval general of the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. When he was young, he and a group of pirates robbed ships on the river. He liked beautiful and gorgeous clothes and was known as the Brocade Sail Pirate. Later, he surrendered to the Eastern Wu and was compared by Sun Quan to Zhang Liao of Cao Wei. Gan Ning's peak attributes: Command 78, Force 96, Intelligence 79, Politics 58."

"Gan Ning's current attributes: Command 67, Military Strength 94, Intelligence 71, Politics 22, Special Attributes: None, Special Skill: Bo Lang - When fighting in water, military strength increases by 5 points, and when fighting on ships on the water, military strength increases by 3 points."

Liu He pursed his lips and said: "Not bad, he is indeed a talent for water battles."

With the current power of the imperial court, although Gan Ning is a talented person, he is no longer enough to cause too much emotional fluctuation in Liu He.
