Many times, Li Ming felt that he seemed to be wandering on the edge of life and death, just like this time, without warning in advance. With his sensitive feeling at this moment, he did not notice the sword near his head, nor did he notice where the master of the sword was standing, as if a sword appeared out of thin air, just hanging on his head.

It was not until the sword was about to reach the top that Li Ming noticed it. He quickly turned his head in panic, but the tip of the sword was too close to him, so it was impossible to avoid it. At this moment, Lin Long, who had already noticed his danger, arrived in time, raised the sword in his hand and pointed it to the black sword, which made Li Ming barely avoid his head. However, the sword edge still penetrated deeply into his shoulder, and a very deep wound was cut across his shoulder. Suddenly, a burst of blood surged out, and a feeling of power surged into his heart.

Li Ming fell to the ground with a plop, feeling dizzy and weak limbs. Lin Long was so scared that he hurriedly pointed the acupoints around his wound. At the same time, he casually used a sword to make the assassin who was hanging on the top of the tree and further assassinating Li Ming on the sword. The man widened his eyes, and he was afraid that he would not believe that there would be such a wonderful sword technique to death.

Lin Long was not as panicked as Zhang Yao. Seeing Li Ming like this, she did not shout, but just picked Li Ming up and turned around to leapt towards the bamboo forest, but Li Ming stopped him in time. The dizziness and weakness just now were just caused by fear and blood loss. Once the bleeding was stopped, Li Ming's mind immediately calmed down and prevented Lin Long from leaving the place, because he had just seen more people in black pouring into the place and surrounded them tightly in the middle. If Lin Long took him away, Zhang Yao would be left alone. Besides, if so many people were killed back, the guards who stayed at the teahouse to deal with the scene would be wiped out.

Lin Long was stunned and saw the situation clearly. So a rare murderous aura emanated from her, and a forced aura pressed on the man in black, causing some people standing in front to retreat straight. At the same time, a white dress on her body began to rush.

Leaving Li Ming to Zhang Yao for care, Lin Longping raised the sword in his hand, and his eyes became clear in an instant. The enemy in front of him seemed to no longer exist. In the feelings of others, Lin Long at this moment seemed to be as dazzling as a sword, with murderous intent.

"The body and sword are united!" A shocking shout came from the crowd in black, and then the shocking shout turned into panic: "Retreat quickly! Retreat all!"

However, before the man in black could react to what this sentence meant, Lin Long disappeared in place like a breeze. Under the night, her white figure seemed to pass by a stream of light, flashing like a flash of light in the crowd of black, like a ghost, making people unable to touch it. In a blink of an eye, she had already floated by all the men in black in the forest and appeared gracefully on the spot.

Without any shouting or any sound of weapons fighting, Lin Long floated quickly among the men in black and then came back intact. However, her face was so pale and her body was so weak that she had to support Zhang Yao's arm to stand up encouragedly. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood was sprayed out of her mouth, and at the same time, the men in black standing all over the ground fell apart.

Li Ming had never seen a person who could be cut into so many pieces, and so many men in black, at least 200, surrounded them densely, but at this moment, they all collapsed suddenly.

They did not fall down, but collapsed. Every man in black in front of Li Ming was no longer complete when he landed on the ground, but turned into pieces of meat of large and small, with pieces of blood sprayed.

Zhang Yao could no longer bear to watch it, just like she was at the top of the peak last time. After seeing this tragic phenomenon, she squatted down and vomited, leading Li Ming and Lin Long to roll to the ground.

Li Ming endured the severe pain on his shoulder to help Lin Long up, looking at Zhang Yao helplessly, just as he was about to persuade him, but heard a heavy breathing sound coming from behind him.

The two of them were startled and turned their heads quickly, but saw a man in black standing among the pieces of meat behind them.

Although the man in black broke one arm, he still held a sword in his other hand. Although his body was covered with wounds and blood, he still stood upright, looking at Li Ming and the others with bright eyes.

Lin Long couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood again and said in surprise: "I really didn't expect that your martial arts can reach this level. According to your skills, you should be a well-known expert. Why did you do such a bad thing?"

The man in black smiled bitterly on his bloody face and said tragically: "Master? Hehe, can I still call him a master in front of you? Unexpectedly, you have practiced the unity of body and swords. Hehe, it was me who miscalculated and actually miscalculated you. In front of me, you were able to kill the killer I trained hard in one fell swoop. This was beyond my expectations. However, the matter ended here. You did not cause any serious damage to me. You were seriously injured by forcibly casting the unity of body and swords. Hehe, it should be very cost-effective to use the three of you to bury them with them." Speaking of this, he grinned, while raising the long sword in his hand, step by step through the corpse under his feet, approaching the three of them.

Li Ming was very anxious. Judging from Lin Long's current situation, she obviously no longer had the ability to fight again, and she couldn't do it anymore. She couldn't move half of her body, let alone fight. Now only Zhang Yao still has the strength to fight, but she closed her eyes tightly and buried her head deeply in Lin Long's arms, not daring to see the tragic phenomenon in front of her.

Seeing that the man in black was getting closer and closer, Li Ming couldn't help but be anxious and screamed at Zhang Yao: "Get up quickly and kill him! If you hesitate, I will be killed by him."

Zhang Yao suddenly raised her head and saw the man in black raising the sword in her hand approaching Li Ming step by step. She couldn't help but scream and soared into the air. The sword in her hand stabbed towards the man in black like lightning.

The man in black obviously did not expect that Zhang Yao could have such a fast speed. After fighting against Lin Long, he was actually at the end of his strength at this moment. How could he be able to block Zhang Yao's sharp sword? Under the Lin family sword technique that Zhang Yao had fully used, he was stabbed into the heart by the crazy Zhang Yao's sword without taking three moves.

The light of life gradually disappeared from his face, and he looked at Li Ming on the ground without any hesitation, and barely popped up a few words from his mouth: "I made a serious mistake in failure, I missed you." After that, he fell to the ground and could never get up again.

Zhang Yao sat on the ground, but then she jumped up in screaming, ran to Li Ming and pierced her head tightly into his arms and started crying.

After a long time, the two of them comforted Zhang Yao, held her shoulders and stood up reluctantly, and walked out of the pine forest with a sway.

On the tea farm, the fire had been extinguished in time by the soldiers and workers who rushed over to hear the news. A smell of tea and burnt spread in the air. On the ground, the murdered people were neatly arranged, and on the other side, there were people in black who had been eliminated. Li Ming looked at the situation in front of him heavily, and even the people who rushed over to treat him were ignored. There was only grief and hatred in his heart at this moment. He didn't understand who was going to attack these innocent people on the island. It was so vicious and cruel that he really couldn't accept it for a moment.

Suddenly, a few faint sounds of weapons came into Li Ming's ears again, which made him wake up in shock and hurriedly asked a garrison officer on standby, "Have the enemy who invaded the island been eliminated yet? Where has this sound come from? No, it's the Palace of King Kang!" Li Ming's face changed drastically. It was the location of the island's leadership organs, and many important figures and materials were there, and the medical school was even more in it. If they were asked to attack these doctors, his efforts would be in vain.

"Lord, don't worry. General Wang has led three thousand cavalry to support him just now. I believe they will be pacified soon. Lord, you are seriously injured. Let the young general find you a place to rest." The officer hurriedly comforted him.

Li Ming shook his head quickly and said, "No! I'm not at ease over there. You guys are busy with yours here. Let's go there to see." After that, he asked the officer to set up a carriage, and divided two people to drive them to watch the pier. Then he hurried over.

When they arrived at the dock, the battle here was over. Wang Wen and the Holy Hand Wang were leading everyone to clean the battlefield. When they saw Li Ming coming, they hurriedly met him.

After taking the pulse for Li Ming and Lin Long, the Holy Hand King said angrily: "It's just a group of animals! First, they slaughtered the unarmed female workers in the silk workshop, and then rushed into the bamboo forest to slaughter those academies. Fortunately, Zhuang Ya and I are here, otherwise our losses will be too great."

Li Ming sighed slightly, "This man is such a big deal! He can actually bloom all over the island. I have a premonition. This may be just a temptation, a tentative attack. If we can defeat us, they will occupy the entire island. If they fail, I think more people will attack us. After all, their price is too high. So many masters are not something that ordinary people can have. Wang Wen immediately transferred all the people in the military camp here and defended strictly in the key areas. At the same time, he rushed to Linbin overnight and asked Cao Bao to urgently reinforce 10,000 soldiers to guard the island. Humph, I want them to come and go!"

Wang Wen agreed loudly and hurriedly went down to arrange the task. The Holy Hand King grabbed Li Ming's hand and said, "Sir, you can go to Zhulin Pavilion for a rest first. I think Long'er's injuries are not light. She must be taken care of in time. Don't worry, I have me here. I will stabilize the current chaotic situation after dawn."

Li Ming nodded tiredly. The pain on his shoulder made him not want to say anything. He just held the shoulder of a guard and followed Lin Long and Zhang Yao into the Zhulin Pavilion.

Lin Long was extremely severe internal injuries caused by forcibly exerting martial arts that he was unable to use. Except for Lin Lingfeng, no one could relieve her injuries. Now he had to rely on himself to slowly heal her injuries. Li Ming was suffering from external injuries. Under his guidance, several medical students disinfected and bandaged his wounds and sutured them, and then several people went out quietly.

Li Ming, who was in a mess, did not rest all night and kept thinking about who was dealing with him. After all, the loss this time was too great, which was enough to cause a huge blow to the weak foundation of Biquan Island that had just started. But no matter how he wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of anyone who was suspected of this. He was determined to find someone to discuss it, but it was a mess outside, so it would be better to wait until everything was basically calmed down. Besides, Lin Long was healing, so it was not suitable for people to disturb him.

After a night like this, it was finally dawn, and the noise outside gradually subsided, replaced by neat footsteps and the neighing of war horses. It seemed that Cao Bao's reinforcements should have arrived.

Sure enough, in a short while, Cao Bao's rough voice rang outside the door: "Report to lord, Cao Bao is asking for a meeting."

He forced himself to hold back the pain in his shoulders. After instructing Zhang Yao to take good care of Lin Long, Li Ming walked down from the Zhulin Pavilion and opened the door. Cao Bao was standing outside the door with an anxious face. He was relieved when he saw Li Ming Wuyang.

"Report to my lord, this time I have urgently transferred 20,000 elite troops to assist in the defense, but these are not my own people, so I plan to let them defend the periphery, including the defense in the refugee camp, and the defense of the rest of the key areas is our own. Please rest assured, I will definitely not be able to protect Biquan Island."

Li Ming nodded and frowned and said, "It's all up to you. The island has suffered a lot. Now they are counting the situation and probably can't recover in a month. Although Wang Wen has tried his best to expand his army, the recruits will not be able to use it for a while, so you must ensure that you are stationed on the island for at least two months. I still don't understand who I have such a big grudge with and let him deal with me like this. Hum, it seems that we are still a little too relaxed. So many people come to the island and didn't notice it in advance? This is absolutely not allowed. Cao Bao, see how they handled it. If it's almost done, call them over. This time, we must find out the responsible person!" Li Ming was really angry. So many innocent people died of misfortune, and so much wealth turned into ashes in an instant, no one would face it calmly.

Cao Bao responded quickly and went out, leaving Li Ming alone sitting there in a daze. In a short while, all the senior staff on Biquan Island walked in quietly. Seeing that Li Ming was not speaking, none of them dared to say anything, but just sat there one by one and a little restless.

Li Ming never looked up, but he could feel the nervous atmosphere among the crowd. It was estimated that the staff was almost done. He whispered: "Now, who will report to me about the losses last night."

Everyone looked at each other and turned their eyes to the Saint Hand King. The Saint Hand King shook his head helplessly and said with difficulty: "Report to the leader, a total of 860 enemies were wiped out last night and 321 people were captured alive. Our side lost 30 guards, more than 900 soldiers, more than 2,000 civilians and craftsmen, eight medical students, and Wang Lao Dao were seriously injured, but except for him, the other middle and high-level personnel were not injured. This time, 10,000 kilograms of Longjing, 30,000 kilograms of black tea, and more than 300 houses suffered heavy losses."

Every time the Saint Hand King reported a loss, Li Ming's heart suddenly tightened. In the end, he couldn't help it and slapped the table beside him with one palm, but at the same time, the wound he touched made him grin.

Everyone who had never seen Li Ming lose his temper was so scared that they didn't dare to say a word. They looked at the Saint Hand King together, hoping that he could persuade him. However, the Saint Hand King had no choice but to bite the bullet and persuaded: "Master, don't be too much of the loss this time, but fortunately, it did not cause fatal damage to us. At the same time, this incident also sounded the alarm for us, allowing us to re-examine whether our defense measures were complete."

"Okay." Li Ming was not good at scolding the Holy Hand King, but at this moment, he was so bored that he was not patient to listen to these useless words: "This accident reflects the weakness of the defense force on our island, so many people! How many people are there? More than a thousand people! So many people secretly went to the island to kill and set fire, but no one found it? No one found it? Where are our patrol soldiers and our guards? What are they doing for food? Don't tell me that you are not enough. Except for the docks that are specially built, the shores of the rest of Biquan Island are very shallow, and there are no large ships at all. For so many people, how many ordinary boats are transported? At least more than one hundred ships, and so many ships are not discovered by our soldiers patrolling the shore? What did they do? Wang Wen, who led the patrol patrolling the shore last night? Call me."

Wang Wen hurriedly stepped out of the line, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in pain: "Report to the lord, the 300 soldiers who were responsible for the night patrol last night, including the officers in the leadership, all died. This morning, their bodies were examined and all killed with one knife, and it seemed that they had no resistance. Although this matter was very strange, it was my subordinates who were in dereliction of duty, so they had unshirkable responsibilities."

After saying this, the people in the house couldn't help but change their color. You know, more than 300 soldiers patrolling the shore were wiped out without any resistance. Few people would believe it. Although there were many people on the other side, the soldiers would not have no resistance. There was only one possibility of such a thing, that is, sneak attacks. However, they came from the water and no matter what boat they took, they had to stay on the water for a long time. During this period, they would inevitably make sounds when rowing, docking, or going ashore. Moreover, judging from their attack, they obviously had a precise plan in advance, divided the soldiers into three groups and attacked the teahouse, iron plants and palaces respectively. This means that they would inevitably

The soldiers will be divided into three parts and go ashore separately. Each part must have at least thirty ships. How big are so many ships on the lake? How could the movements when they docked? How could they attack the soldiers on the shore? According to the training level of these soldiers, it is impossible for a few people to solve them so silently. So, this matter is very strange. What method did they use to solve more than 300 soldiers, and then they silently touched the destination and were not discovered until they started? All kinds of questions lingered in the hearts of everyone. Could it be that it was really because of the carelessness of the soldiers on the shore?

Wang Wen knelt on the ground and said nothing. If he did not explain correctly, it would be attributed to the soldiers' negligence. As the actual highest commander of the island's troops, Wang Wen was to blame, so at this time he decided to take responsibility on himself.

Li Ming still has a very good impression of Wang Wen, who is young and promising, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is also very capable. However, this time, he must find a responsible person, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the people on the island. The loss this time was too great. Although Wang Wen may be innocent, he had to sacrifice him.

Li Ming was about to speak, but Wang Tao hurriedly ran in from outside and said breathlessly: "Master, I sent all the ships on the island to search on the nearby lake, but I found no clues and no large number of ships. Some of my subordinates have taken his people to search the nearby islands, hoping to find some clues. In addition, Wang Dong is surrounding the island to search for places on the shore, hoping to find something."

Everyone was shocked again. If they were surprised by the careful plan of the other party's actions just now, they had to admire the other party's cleanliness. After putting more than a thousand well-trained killers on the island, they did not leave any ships or men to support them, as if they were allowed to fend for themselves. This kind of courage and courage are not something that ordinary people can't do.

Li Ming was in a worse mood. He waved his hand and asked Wang Tao to return to his seat, and then said, "This accident has taught us a great lesson. In the past, I always thought that there were more than 5,000 strong soldiers, more than 100 guards with high martial arts skills, and martial arts masters like Lin Long, Brother, and Senior Zhuang Ya. Then our defense team is perfect, so we didn't care much about this matter. But now I know how terrible our carelessness is! If we could find their traces earlier, we could block them from the accident site with the guards and a few masters on the island. But now? This time we must find the responsible person to punish them to warn the people on the island."

Speaking of this, he stood up with a pain in his shoulder and said with a serious expression: "Because the patrol soldiers did not discover the enemy in time, the island suffered huge losses. For this reason, Wang Wen has an unshirkable leadership responsibility. Now I announce that Wang Wen will be responsible for one hundred sticks and will be displayed on the dock for three days. Wang Tong, as the head of Biquan Island Industry, also has an unshirkable responsibility. For this reason, he will be punished with accompanying the public. As the leader of the guard, Malin has the same responsibility, and is responsible for fifty sticks and accompanying the public for three days. For the rest of the responsibilities, you leaders, go to set out on your own, and be sure to make everyone on the island alert through this matter."

Speaking of this, his voice became heavier: "The soldiers, guards and ordinary workers who died in this incident were all buried with each other. Those with family members should make good compensation. We cannot treat them unfairly."

After Li Ming announced his decision, all the people mentioned came out together and said they would accept the punishment. This was the first time that Li Ming had punished his subordinates in public since he landed on Biquan Island. The people he wanted to punish were all his teachers and friends. How could he feel comfortable in his heart? But for future development, he had to make up his mind now.

"I have no choice." A sigh came from Li Ming's mouth: "You are all my good subordinates, and Brother Wang is my teacher. However, if there is no punishment this time, it will cause a very bad impact on the island. I hope you can understand."

"We will die for the lord!" Almost at the same time, everyone present left their seats, knelt in front of Li Ming, and promised in unison.

The Saint-Hand King was even more tear-stained and raised his head and said, "Since Wang Tong followed his lord, he has decided to assist the lord with all his strength to benefit the people of the world. Therefore, please do not have to be so polite to Wang Tong in the future. In this incident, Wang Tong also has an unshirkable leadership responsibility. Therefore, I request the same punishment as Wang Wen."

Li Ming frowned and said, "You all got up! Brother, it's not that I take care of you, but because you really don't have much responsibility for this matter. We have people who are in charge of the army and guards, and you are just implicated. In fact, I have the greatest responsibility, because we have such a thorough consideration, which will cause this situation. So, brother should not say this. Today's punishment is limited to these people. Wang Wen, I also know that those soldiers may be wronged, but before the truth of the matter is found, I will only be wronged."

He opened his mouth to let these people get up and return to his seat. Li Ming was about to discuss the countermeasures of this matter with everyone, suddenly Wang Dong ran in from outside the door, carrying a large package in his hand, and ran away excitedly, "Master, look at what the villain found on the shore? So many! They are all under the lotus bushes, with more than 300. I am asking others to continue searching." After that, he gave the package in his hand to Li Ming.

Li Ming signaled Wang Dong to put it on the table with a serious expression, and then asked him to open it in public. Suddenly, Li Ming's eyes widened and almost jumped up. This surprised him so much. How could this thing appear here? It was definitely not supposed to be. Turning around and looking at Gao Wei, who was also surprised, a flash of light in Li Ming's mind, he suddenly understood who the mastermind of this matter was, and only he could have such a thing.
Chapter completed!
