At this time, the other party's move shocked Xie and Yin, who staggered and fell sideways, then ducked into the room on the ship.
Several people on the other side also rushed into the room after eliminating their opponents.
After a while, several people walked out of the room, and someone shouted "Get out."
The masked people jumped off the speedboat one after another and fled downstream in an instant.
The Sea Falcon warship was in a mess, many armored soldiers were injured or killed, and the remaining soldiers were still busy putting out the fire.
"Did they succeed? Should we catch up and take a look?" Fu Tenghui asked hurriedly when he saw the other party suddenly retreating.
"No need. You see, the generals on board don't seem to want to recover the lost property at all."
"Fan Zhan must be playing the cunning rabbit's three-hole strategy. In my opinion, this warship is just like the villa in Hai'an City. It is just a sidecar to draw attention." Wang Qi'an's eyes stayed on the Sea Falcon ship and analyzed calmly.
"Let's continue to Luk Keng Port and have a look." Wang Qi'an said again.
Luk Keng Port is exactly as its name suggests. Ships and boats of different sizes and shapes are moored along the deer neck-shaped river bank.
It was no longer the busy period for cargo loading and unloading, and the port was quiet, with occasional scattered ships mooring away.
The three patrolled for a week and found no suspicious ships such as the official warship.
"Where did Fan Zhan go?" Wang Qian said to himself.
The river wind is howling and the smoke is hazy.
Wang Qi'an looked across the river, looking at a few twinkling lights on the other side.
"Brother Ji, do you know where the other side is?" he suddenly asked.
"On the other side of the river is a port on the Dongjiang River, which is under the jurisdiction of Yongcheng. Yongcheng is just a small city on the seaside. There is nothing worth paying attention to. However, from the port further south along the Dongjiang River, there is the famous Hutoumen estuary. "Ji Wurui deserves to make a living by intelligence and knows all the places in Lingnan.
"I have a hunch that Fan Zhan may be on the opposite side." Wang Qian said.
"If we return to Prince Xing's Mansion from the other side, the waterways are crisscrossed and the route is tortuous. It will be at least twice the distance." Ji Wurui said a little puzzled.
"Everyone is unexpected. It's not exactly what Fan Zhan wanted. Anyway, we didn't find anything here, so we might as well try our luck across the other side." Wang Qi'an said with a smile.
"Young Master Wang's intuition has always been very keen. Maybe I will actually get something. I will find a boat right away." Fu Tenghui was very supportive and went to look for a boat to cross the river.
The three of them came to the south bank of the Dongjiang River. Although this port is slightly smaller than Luk Keng Port, there are also sails and shadows on the shore.
To Wang Qi'an's surprise, there were several resting places offering refreshments and snacks not far away from the official road.
There was another house with lights on at this time.
Wang Qi'an and the other three stepped forward and found that the chairs and stools had been neatly placed on the table. An old man with a hunchback was cleaning the debris on the floor, and it seemed that he was preparing to close the shop.
"Do you want some food for your three guests?" When the old man with a hunchback saw someone coming, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing and said with a smile.
"But hasn't my father-in-law already closed the book?" Ji Wurui said.
"It's okay, it's okay, there's no way to turn away customers when doing business." He said and put down one of the tables, chairs and stools.
"Wait a minute, you three. I'm going to make you a bowl of sweet soup and get some snacks." The hunchbacked old man finished speaking and was about to leave.
"Don't be in a hurry to cook, I have a few things that I would like to ask you for advice." Wang Qi'an stopped him and said.
Ji Wurui walked closer and put a few taels of broken silver into his hand.
"I don't know what the young masters want to ask, but I will definitely tell you everything." These two pieces of silver are probably equivalent to several months of the food stall's livelihood, and the old man with a hunchback is very happy.
"Have any foreign envoys or large official ships docked in this port recently?" Wang Qi'an asked.
The hunchbacked old man thought for a while and then said: "I have never seen any official ship as the young master said, but today a group of officers and soldiers came from the south and passed by in a majestic manner."
"Officers and soldiers? Coming from the south? This direction seems wrong." Fu Tenghui wondered.
"Can I see clearly what the leader looks like?" Wang Qi'an asked.
"We rural people have never seen such a battle before, and we all crowded our heads to join in the fun. I really saw a figure who looked like a heavenly general carrying two axes. He must be General, sir." The hunchbacked old man said proudly.
"Carrying two axes? It must be Fan Zhan." Ji Wurui said happily.
The three of them didn't wait any longer for sweet soup and snacks. They handed another piece of silver to the hunchbacked old man, asked Fan Zhan about his marching direction, and left in a hurry.
The three of them followed the route for more than ten kilometers before sneaking up on the Iron Armored Army a few kilometers away from Chung City.
"It seems that Fan Zhan got back on the road after resting in Yongcheng, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to catch up with them so quickly." Ji Wurui said.
This team of armored soldiers numbered about fifty or sixty, and the leader was Fan Zhan.
Riding alongside him was Lou Xianzhi.
In the middle of the procession were three gorgeous six-bridled carriages.
"This time Fan Zhan personally marched in the formation, could he be luring the enemy's deputy car again?" Fu Tenghui said.
"It seems that these three carriages are not simple. Could it be that the Southern Tianzhu Mission is inside?" Ji Wurui asked curiously.
Wang Qi'an's eyes flickered, staring at the three carriages in the middle.
"Fan Zhan chose to go along the river. He could only focus on the defensive side, but he is well versed in the art of marching. But this way we have no chance to get close." Wang Qi'an said with a wry smile while admiring.
At this time, someone in front of the team suddenly shouted "Beware!", and then the team started to rotate and surrounded the carriage in the middle.
A group of men in black swarmed from the front and the nearby trees, their weapons dazzling with silver and murderous intent.
The two sides soon fought together.
The Iron Armored Army lived up to its reputation. Facing more than double the number of men in black, they showed no signs of panic. They repeatedly killed their opponents with their swords and guns, and defended the position of the three carriages impregnably.
Fan Zhan was able to fend off the opponent's three masters by himself without any loss.
However, Lou Xianzhi was not so lucky. Under the siege of the other three people, he was already in a state of embarrassment and had blood stains on his body.
Suddenly, Fan Zhan leaped out of thin air, easily escaping from his opponent's siege, and threw a giant ax backwards with his backhand. Without looking back, he ran toward Lou Xianzhi, who was in danger frequently.
The three people who originally besieged Fan Zhan saw him suddenly disappear. They were about to change their tactics when the sound of wind was approaching behind their heads. Before they understood what happened, their heads were chopped off to the ground by a giant axe.
"Although this group of black-clothed men is large in number, their strength is far inferior to the Mosasaurus gang that previously attacked the sea falcon boat on the river." Wang Qi'an said.
As soon as he finished speaking, three figures suddenly appeared from the water on the river bank. Their body movements were running at high speed and they attacked the three carriages respectively.
The armored troops who reacted rushed forward to intercept, but the martial arts of these three men were far superior to that of the other men in black, and no one could stop them for a moment.
The first two people knocked over the two carriages respectively, but found that there was no one inside.
When the third person was about to follow suit, a burst of energy shot out from the car and hit his chest.
