Feng Yu Jiu Tian Volume 14 Chapter 8.3

Rong Hu :  "LuoNing with the other Imperial guards are outside defend, Duke Ming have to stayhere and cannot appear.

Feng Ming shook his head and whispered, "What guard? The s.h.i.+p bottomalready leaking, sooner or later it’s going to sunk. This is not an ordinarybandit, the opposite side must be proficient in creating waterbattle!"   

They have managed to seizeour s.h.i.+p, we better leave this room immediately.

Everyone follow the guard out.

From the dimly lit room, they rushed to the deck, the sound of slaughter likewaves into the ear. Coming out to the deck, they can see the sword guard and sailor back and forthtrying to withstand the overwhelming arrows.

The moon obscured by clouds, Aman River both sh.o.r.esdeathly still. In contrast, the centre of Aman River  full with roaring sound of the fight from the fleet s.h.i.+p of Xiao Clan.

Feng Ming rushed through the chaotic deck, seeing on the upstream, linedup dozens of brightly lit s.h.i.+p.

Compare to their Xiao s.h.i.+p, these boat s.h.i.+p's really different, level not thesame, the s.h.i.+p’s body really thin and long and at this moment they are manyflags on the s.h.i.+p, rapidly change, obviously in the process to send out certaininstruction so that they don’t attack the same side in a critical moment.

 "What is that signal?"

"I don’t know! ”. Feng Ming standing on the decklooking at the scene. surrounded byflocks of guard. Luo Deng who always show smiling facade, appearingunyieldingly fierce, his hands at one side waving a long knife, at the sametime another holding a bow with black arrow on his back at the side readyto rush to Feng Ming right side, quite fiercely stare at opposite site sceneleisurely n carefree enemy s.h.i.+p. 

Luo Deng : "this is not a common banner for a vessel onthis waterway."

Feng Ming :  "Who is attacking us?"

Luo Deng :  "The other sidedid not reveal their name."

Arrows flying non-stop to their s.h.i.+p with a piercing whistle-like sound, no onewould be crazy enough to shout who they are in this condition. Feng Ming lookedaround anxiously, all the other Xiao s.h.i.+p also in the same criticalcirc.u.mstances as their main s.h.i.+p, being destroy with an amazing sight of woodsfully occupied the water channel. Aman River became a district full of woodshards from the destroyed fleet of Xiao s.h.i.+p and the sights were astonis.h.i.+ng.Ideally placed upstream are the enemy s.h.i.+ps, while methodically they are theone who put the woods down the river, they are not affected by it.  They are just sitting and waiting with bowand arrow while suppressing Feng Ming’s a.s.semblage.

b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Xiao Master’s s.h.i.+p beneath this land under heaven, who dare to becomean enemy?

“Why were we have been beaten senseless  right now?”,someone said.

Feng Ming :  How arethe condition of our s.h.i.+p? 

Cannot let them know, they might trying to find out how ours.h.i.+p condition.

The main s.h.i.+p and Xiao Family s.h.i.+p fleet and the royal big s.h.i.+p also ha.s.suffer countless attack up until now, the enemy is pressing their arrows tosuppress both of our s.h.i.+p, but looking at their s.h.i.+p increasing swaying, itseems like the foundation already weak and the s.h.i.+p cannot take the burden anylonger. 

Feng Ming:  "Dock ah!"

 "It’s already too late!"

 "Young lord,the river has acc.u.mulated a lot of woods, if we try to land the s.h.i.+p, it willsurely sank!"

 A round of arrows again come mercilessly.
