Shen Leng arranged his belongings on the ship. Suddenly, he realized that amidst his things, there was something that did not belong in there…that piece of gold ingot. One day before the Navy left for the south, Shen Leng specially asked for a day off so that he could make a trip home. He spent a long time talking to Master Cha and Mr. Shen. On the second day, he rushed back to the Navy’s camp and reported his attendance. At night, Master Cha had already gotten ready some things for him, such as basic necessities, and clean laundry. Master Cha must have placed the gold ingot into his belongings at that time. Shen Leng thought about before dismissing it. When he gave the gold ingot to Master Cha, she did not seem to be very elated. Thereafter, when he was talking to little fatty Chen Ran, Chen Ran reprimanded him, calling him an idiot. He chastised him saying that nobody would give a girl a gift like he did - giving her money to get whatever she wanted. I

The iron feather arrow followed closely behind Shen Leng. The arrow was precise and ruthless; its speed was extremely fast that even the most agile bird could not evade it…Just as Shen Leng was about to get shot, his body suddenly swung to one side. Shen Leng’s right hand held onto his black cord sword and his left hand was holding his scabbard. A fine string with metal hook shot out of the scabbard and hooked onto a tree branch. He swung to one side and managed to dodge the arrow. “Horrible!”Nie Yuan frowned. He leapt down from the roof. “Give chase! Ignore the people at the back.”Hundreds of water bandits in disguise pursued closely. Shen Leng seemed to be bent on heading towards the hill. As he headed there, he darted and moved about, evading the arrows. The scattered trees below the hill also played a part in sheltering him. When he got to the hill, the trees were dense and closely packed together. The arrows

The troops spent a day resting and reorganizing by the Grand Canal. The country magistrate and deputy rushed over - how was it possible for them to be unfazed and calm when something this big happened within their jurisdiction? This was the first time that many local soldiers got massacred ever since Great Ning was founded. If His Majesty got wind of the situation, everybody knew how he was going to react. 　Shen Leng sat by the river and looked at the people from afar. Their faces were pale as they exchanged conventional greetings with one another. He could not help but shake his head.“What’s wrong?” asked Chen Ran.“I’m afraid everyone in Ningwu country will have to be removed from office.”“So pitiful.”“Not pitiful.”Shen Leng shook his head. “Do you think they didn’t know where Lian Yunzhai was? Do you think they didn’t know about the evil doings of the water bandits? They knew everything, except tha

When he was twelve years old, a few ships in the Nanping River started to be consumed by raging fires in the middle of the night. The young man named Shen Leng held a small unsharpened hunting knife in his mouth and charged into the waters bravely without caring for his personal safety. Thereafter, he found out that in the most turbulent moments, he had the ability of becoming unusually calm. In the next four years, a man named Shen Xiaosong tried his best to teach everything he knew to Shen Leng. Of course, this was not solely because he felt that he owed it to that young man. Could it be that it was not related to the young man who leapt into the night that fateful year?Mr. Shen saw the heart of the young man for what it was. Hence, he felt that even if he were to fight with his life, it was worth it.　　Not long ago, a young man named Li Tuming gritted his teeth and held in there. He told himself time and time again, not to be

Shen Leng swung his sword; Nie Yuan could feel the ferocity of his attack and did not dare to face it head on. Furthermore, at the dock, he had seen that there was something fishy about Shen Leng’s sword. It was a lot better than the standard sword given to the soldiers. Hence, he dodged the attack and swung his sword right towards Shen Leng’s back. After missing, Shen Leng quickly turned around and swung his black cord sword upwards. Both swords clashed into one another, creating sparks. “High-grade tempered sword.”Shen Leng was unable to break Nie Yuan’s sword. Immediately, he could tell that it was a high-grade tempered that was given to Great Ning’s battalion commanders, and other higher ranked military soldiers, except that Nie Yuan removed the black and red cords on the sword. “You are still using this sword?” asked Shen Leng as he drew his sword back. It had to be mentioned that not only was Great Ning’s ar
