513 BC, Wu State, Five Lakes (Taihu Lake).

Thousands of sails are racing, the waves are rolling!

On the vast lake, hundreds of warships are advancing through the waves in a majestic manner.

On every warship, there are armored soldiers standing like umbrellas.

They came here after a long journey, but there was no sign of fatigue on their faces!

On the deck of the ship at the front, a young man in his early twenties was sitting cross-legged, looking at the foothills in the distance, with a meaningful color on his face.

But I saw that he was more than eight feet tall, tall, with a face like a crown of jade. He was wearing a crimson battle suit and was wrapped in jet black armor.

Her hair is tied up with a purple gold crown and a bronze belt in the shape of a glutton is tied around her waist. She looks majestic and extraordinarily powerful!

He is Qingji, the prince of Wu State, the son of the deceased King Liao of Wu.

"Sir, the front is Gusu Mountain. If nothing happens, in a day or two, the army will reach the royal capital and march to the city gates!"

On one side of Qingji, there was a man standing bowed.

This man was born with a small stature, only over five feet, with a waistline, and an ugly appearance. He held a short spear in one hand, and the other sleeve was empty, obviously he was missing an arm.

Compared with the handsome Qingji, Yaoli really pales in comparison!

"Hehehe, I'm leaving. Do you think my trip will be so smooth?"

Qingji just laughed it off.

"It will go well!"

The thin man named Yao Li had a flattering look on his face, lowered his head and said: "Since the young master launched his army to attack Wu, he has been sure to capture and win every battle. He has been unstoppable and invincible along the way. The enemy troops are everywhere looking for the wind!"

"Now, as long as the young master can capture the capital of Wu, Ji Guang, the thief who has stolen the country, will surely come to the throne to avenge his father's murder."

Hearing this, Qingji still had a light smile on his face and said noncommittally: "If you want to leave, you must not take it lightly. Before everything is settled, any accident may happen!"

"What the young master said is absolutely true."

At this moment, a strong gust of wind hit us, the waves surged, and the boat under Qingji's and others' feet swayed like a small boat in a stormy sea.

Qingji stabilized his figure, as still as a mountain!

Meng Ben, the general standing behind him, stepped forward and advised: "Sir, the wind is strong on the river. Please go into the ship building to rest for a while and recharge your batteries."

Before Qing Ji could say anything, Yao Li on the side said, "General Meng's words are wrong."

"Since the young master is the commander-in-chief, he should stand at the bow of the ship. This way, he can not only boost morale but also direct the fleet forward! How can you persuade the young master to go inside and rest?"

Meng Ben thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

And Qingji sat firmly on the bow of the ship from beginning to end without saying a word!

Looking at Qing Ji's generous back, Yaoli lowered his head, a sharp light flashing in his eyes from time to time.

Involuntarily, Yaoli clutched the short spear in his left hand tightly, and large beads of sweat broke out on his forehead!

Looking quite nervous!

Suddenly, a stronger wind blew, and Qing Ji, who was still sitting firmly on the bow of the ship, seemed to be unable to withstand it, and his body swayed.

Yao Li seized this opportunity and took advantage of the swaying momentum to stab Qing Ji with a short spear!

The force of this blow was heavy, and it was aimed towards Qingji's heart. Once it hit, it would definitely pass through the chest, and even the gods of Daluo would not be able to save Qingji!

"ah!"

A scream as loud as a slaughtered pig suddenly sounded.

However, this is not Qingji’s scream, but Kaori’s wailing!

At the critical moment, Qingji suddenly grabbed the short spear that was about to leave, and then grabbed his wrist with his backhand and squeezed hard.

This force is not small, at least it can dislocate the muscles and bones that are away from the wrist!

"Whoa!"

Qingji immediately held up Kaa Li with one hand, grabbed his neck, and like holding a chicken, suddenly plunged his head into the water, immersing him once, then again, three times!

Yaoli drank so much that his stomach was full of lake water, his eyes turned white, and he almost fainted.

With a "bang" sound, Qingji threw Yaoli on the deck on one side and watched coldly.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind him quickly stepped forward to hold him down and try to leave.

The incident just now happened so suddenly that they were unable to react!

If Li Guo really succeeds and kills Qing Ji with one spear, the consequences will be disastrous.

At the very least, this revenge army created entirely by Qing Ji will all fall apart!

Thinking of this, Meng Ben and other soldiers couldn't help but glare at Yaoli angrily, holding up their spears and trying to tear Yaoli into pieces with random blades.

"Wait a minute."

At the critical moment, Qingji stopped all the soldiers.

"If you want to leave, what else can you say?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Yao Li collapsed on the deck, coughing violently and vomiting a lot of water from his mouth.

At this moment, when he saw Qing Ji asking questions, Yao Li couldn't help but laugh miserably and said: "Qing Ji, I want to Li Jin's assassination failed. I have nothing to say, I just want to die!"

He raised his head, looking like he was ready to die.

If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please!

"Hahahaha! Yaoli, you are truly a pathetic and hateful person."

Qing Ji said with a contemptuous smile: "You are loyal and do not shy away from attacking me with an axe. You are indeed brave and worthy of praise."

"Of course, you actually cut off one of your arms to assassinate me, and you persuaded the traitor Ji Guang to kill your wife and children in order to get closer to me and gain my trust. It's really inappropriate!"

Qingji pointed at Yaoli's nose and sternly rebuked: "How innocent are your wife and children? You actually mutilated yourself and killed your wife and children just for your own selfish desires and to achieve your own reputation!"

"How are these behaviors different from those of animals? No, animals cannot do what you are doing!"

"I Qingji despise you, and everyone in the world is even more ashamed to be with you!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Li couldn't help but his shoulders trembled, his arms trembled, and a look of shame appeared on his face.

What Qing Ji said was true and he could not refute it!

Yao Li worked as a butcher and made a living by fishing. Thanks to his father being a professional assassin, Yao Li was very good at swordsmanship and had the courage to fight for anything. He was an extremely famous swordsman in the Wu Kingdom.

After Zhuan Zhu assassinated King Liao, Yaoli followed Zhuan Zhu as an example and determined to become famous all over the world!

It happened that Ji Guang usurped the throne of King Wu and gained the country unfairly. Therefore, he was worried that the young master Qingji, who was defending the country fiercely and preparing to avenge his father, wanted to leave, so he decided to sacrifice his flesh and blood at the right time.

As a result, Kaname's right arm was cut off, and his wife and children were all imprisoned!

After he fled, his wife and children were executed by King Ji Guang (Helu) of Wu, burned and their bodies abandoned in the busy city!

The wife and children who wanted to leave ended up in such a miserable end, but the culprit was the person who wanted to leave.

How can this not be embarrassing?

However, it is precisely because of this that Yaoli, who defected to Qingji's command, was able to gain Qingji's trust and regard him as his confidant, allowing him to train soldiers and repair ships every day.

Qingji’s relationship with Yaoli can be described as his sincere trust and respect!
