The water bandits escorted Song Wangyue and her group off the boat and strutted towards the island, occasionally yelling at Song Wangyue and the others a few times and pushing Song San and the others a little.
Even so, there was still no movement on the island.
The second leader of the water bandits knew that something must have happened on the island, so he was so anxious that his steps quickened.
“Second-in-Command, you’re back.”
A man appeared on the citadel at the entrance. Their eyes lit up at the sight of the Second Master and they shouted towards them, their voices sounding nothing out of the ordinary.
It was Xia Jiu, and the Second Master’s heart glowed with joy as he raised his voice, “Xia Jiu, open the door, we have brought someone back.”
“Okay, wait a moment, I’ll have my brothers open it for you right away.”
Xia Jiu answered cheerfully and opened the door towards only a slit, only one person could pass through.
“Be careful there’s a trick.”
Song Wangyue warned in a small voice.
The second leader immediately broke into a cuss, “Damn it, Xia Jiu, what are you getting at? Quickly open the door.”
“I’m sorry, Second Master, the Grand Master has an order to open such a slit whenever we enter or leave the island, I wouldn’t dare to disobey.”
“You don’t give a f*ck! I can’t even fit my thighs into such a narrow slit, how could Big Brother give such an order? Open the door for me if you don’t want me to clean you up when I get in.”
“Second Master, it’s really Big Master’s order, ask for yourself if you don’t believe me.”
“His grandmother.”
The second leader kicked the door, the door swayed a little, it seemed to hit someone, the man took a step back, the second leader took the opportunity to kick again, the five or six water bandits who followed closely behind saw this and followed, pushing the door open with force.
The second leader swaggered in and saw a flash of a figure, which disappeared in a flash. He pretended not to see it and kicked the water bandit who opened the door, “Damn it, you dare to stop me, you’re tired of living.”
“No, no.”
The water bandit who was watching the door fell to the ground and gave the second leader a desperate wink, “Yes, it was the big leader who gave the order, I was just following orders.”
“Where is Big Brother?”
“The council, the council hall.”
The second leader walked towards the council chamber.
Behind them, the water bandits escorted Song Wangyue and the others in, some of whom followed to the council hall, while some stayed at the door.
The island was very quiet, so quiet that no one could be seen.
The hearts of the water bandits were raised, and the second leader even tightened his sword in his hand as he walked to the entrance of the council hall and stepped in.
Seeing the situation inside, he stood still and dared not move.
There were many people sitting on the floor of the council chamber, all tied up, the old, the young, the women and the children of the island. In the main seat, the Grand Master was tied to a chair and a man stood beside him, twirling a sharp blade in his hand.
“Back?”
The man asked coolly, looking up.
The second leader regained his composure for a second, “What do you want?”
The man answered instead of asking, “Has the man been killed?”
The second leader did not answer either, “I asked you what you want?”
The man raised his dagger and plunged it into the First Master’s leg. The First Master let out a cry of pain, beads of sweat instantly slipped down his face, and the men sitting on the ground recoiled in horror.
“Big brother!”
The second leader’s other foot also stepped in.
“Don’t, don’t come any closer!” The First Master bellowed through the pain!
He had been careless, thinking that these people just wanted to pay for their lives, but he hadn’t expected them to buy not only the lives of those on the boat, but their lives as well.
As soon as the second leader moved, Song Wangyue behind him revealed her figure, the man saw it, his eyes narrowed, the dagger in his hand moved, and the great leader grunted.
“No!”
The second leader of the family took a step forward in a hurry. Seeing that the man’s hand was about to move again, he hurriedly retreated again, “What do you want, you say!”
The man pointed at Song Wangyue, “As long as you end him now, I’ll let him go.”
“Do you think anyone will believe that?”
Song Wangyue asked as she walked in and looked at the man.
The man’s complexion was pale and he seemed to have been out of the sun for years – he should be a secret guard, no wonder he was able to capture the islanders.
“Believe it or not it doesn’t matter, if he doesn’t listen to me, I’ll kill these people.”
Song Wan Yue raised her eyebrows, “Are you sure you can kill them?”
“What do you think?”
The man asked instead of answering.
Song Wangyue thought seriously for a moment and shook her head in a serious manner, “I say no.”
The man did not get annoyed and made a gesture, two people came out from the shadows and simultaneously took out a paper packet from their arms and opened it, inside was white medicinal powder.
“These are highly poisonous pills, if you inhale them in your nose, you will die immediately, you say if they spill them, these people ……”
Song Wan Yue shook her head in admiration, “Awesome! It seems that today I cannot escape the fate of being killed, before I die I want to ask, who sent you?”
The man didn’t take the bait and urged the second in command, “Don’t do it yet!”
Song Wan Yue shook her head, “You don’t even dare to reveal your identity, you seem to be from the royal family.”
The man’s pupils fiercely shrank.
Song Wangyue’s hand, which was tied behind her, suddenly lifted up towards the front, and three sleeved arrows shot towards the three, so fast that they were in front of the three in almost an instant.
Song Wangyue took the opportunity to leap up, nudging her feet over the heads of the men on the ground and crossing to the Grand Master’s side, waving the dagger in her hand to cut the rope tying him up, who leapt up almost simultaneously, pulling the dagger from his leg and lunging at the nearest one.
The second leader also reacted and made several rising leaps over to him, while the rest of the men rushed in and dragged the tied men on the ground to one side, untying them and escorting them out.
“There are two more.”
The first leader shouted.
Six men had come from the other side, one followed him out and the remaining five stayed on the island, not only subduing him but also drugging the other brothers. They only left two to guard the cottage gate so that they could let the Second Leader’s party in and exterminate them together.
Hearing the words of the First Leader, the rest of the water bandits did not dare to let the men disperse and told them to stay outside the council hall, which they guarded.
Thirty of Song’s men rushed into the council hall and, seeing that the Grand Master and the Second Master were outmatched, rushed forward to help.
Even so, they were no match for those men, and Song San and Song Wu were soon hanging on for dear life. The four guards of the Zhang family saw this and came forward to help, and they struck quickly, far faster than Song San and the others and the Grand Master, forcing the men to a dead end in just a few moments.
“You are ……”
Those few people were unbelievable.
Before they could finish their sentence, the four men struck out in unison, hitting them straight in the vitals, and seeing that there was no escape, one of them let out a whistle, sharp and long, which carried far away.
Before he could finish, a sharp blade pierced his chest and the whistle broke off violently.
When the two men outside heard it, their faces turned pale and they emerged from their hiding places and swept towards the gate.
