A dragon on land became an insect when it fell into the water.

If Hong Si and six others suddenly encountered attacks on land, they might be able to protect themselves and fight back. If they were not good, they would have the chance to escape. But now they were on the river and were served by two people. One of them pressed their heads and the other dragged their feet and sank them down. They had only had time to struggle a little, and they lost their strength as Gududu poured a lot of river water, and finally fell into a coma.

At this time, the ship they were in finally sinking due to constant influx of water. With the sound of Kara, they turned into two sections, alarming the other people on the boat. However, the ships docked at the ferry were almost all travelers and merchants. They didn't dare to do anything when walking outside, and they didn't dive in the middle of the night to see what happened. They could only hide from the boat and tremble, chanting Amitabha Buddha, hoping that God would bless him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the ship where Li Ling was located had left the port, and under the wind, it quickly distanced itself from the merchant passenger ships. Soon after, people kept rising from the boat. It was more than a dozen ship workers who were helping with the work on the boat before, and several of them were carrying a few guys who were completely unconscious on their shoulders.

The boss of the ship waved his hand calmly, and someone threw the rope down to help these good players in the water come up quickly. Until then, Li Ling and others who were hiding in the cabin walked out and quietly observed the men who had been thrown on the deck: "Are they dead?"

"Don't worry, my brothers are responsible, they just poured them a lot of water and couldn't die." The boss of the ship laughed, "But do you want to wake them up?"

Li Ling nodded gently: "I have something to ask them, so I'll wake them up. But I'll tie them up first, so don't make any mistakes."

The people on the boat were all good at the Caogang River. They had received orders to help Li Ling move south smoothly. At this time, they naturally followed the orders and quickly tied the people to the side of the boat. Then they dragged them to the side of the boat, letting their upper body lie outside, and for a while, they vomited water. After a while, they woke up slowly.

Hong Si came back to his senses and wanted to jump up. But at this moment, his hands and feet were tied up, so how could he get up? He just bounced on the ground and fell on the deck like a fish that was missing, making a muffled groan. Then, he knew his situation and hurriedly shouted: "Who are you... who are you? Are you water bandits? We don't have much money on us, we are just businessmen who are small-buyed..."

"It's time now, don't fool people with such words." A voice suddenly sounded from his side. Hong Si barely turned his head and looked, his expression changed slightly, because he had already recognized this person, which he was staring at Li Ling, who had been a target for a while!

At this time, the others also woke up one after another. After realizing that they were tied up, they all shouted: "Who are you? How dare you kidnap people at will in broad daylight? Is there no king's law?"

Li Ling slowly came to them: "This is exactly what I want to ask you, why did you follow me all the way? What are your ideas? Also, who are you and who asked you to follow me? If you can't give me a definite answer today, stay in this river and don't go back."

Speaking threatening words in a calm tone, Li Ling's performance made the Yang brothers on the other side frightened. At this moment, the two looked at each other and saw surprise and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Especially Yang Zhen, when Li Ling pointed out that he had noticed someone was following behind him, he was quite surprised, but the subsequent changes made his surprise continue to improve - the seemingly honest and ordinary boatman actually became a water bandit-like figure because of his few words, and he didn't even have any concerns in his actions.

Now that the ship was destroyed and people were captured, they threatened to kill. All of this was the decision of the scholar who was extremely ordinary in the eyes of his brothers. Li Ling's mental and physical means were too unexpected! This made them look a little afraid in their eyes when they looked at Li Ling again.

Hong Si was even more nervous, his eyes swept across his companions around him, and then he quickly said, "Did you read it wrong, this uncle? The young people are really just ordinary businessmen and have never done anything to follow people... This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

The other people also reacted and said, "Yes, yes, you are really wrong. The young people are so brave that they dare not follow you. And if we really have the ill will, you will not be able to take it so easily, right?"

"Uncle, as long as you let us go now, we will pretend that this has not happened before and will definitely not dare to report to the official..."

These people argued one by one. If it were someone else, they would have thought that they were really wrong. Seeing this, Yang Chen sneered and whispered: "It seems that we should take action. These people are old people, the most slim, but if they don't use some tricks, they are afraid they will not be honest."

Just as Yang Zhen nodded slightly and was about to move forward, Li Ling spoke again: "It seems that you really don't understand your situation. Then I'll tell you the truth. I don't have to know your origin and who ordered me to follow me. As long as you get rid of you, it's safe enough. Boss Ma..."

As he greeted, the boss of the boat had already taken a step with a grim smile. A sharp bone-clearing knife in his hand flashed with a cold light, slowly passing by in front of several people: "We have not had other abilities, but in terms of killing people, it has been many years of skill."

Feeling the biting chill of the sharp knife, the few people showed panic again. Even Hong Si barely swallowed his saliva before saying a stern voice: "The young people are really innocent, and it's useless for the old men to force them."

"Since you are an ordinary merchant, why do you carry weapons with you?" Li Ling looked at the weapons thrown aside and asked suddenly.

"That's just for self-defense. After all, you have to be careful when you go out."

Hong Si's answer was very fast, obviously he had thought about it a long time ago, and the others also responded: "We are just guarding ourselves, the government doesn't care... It's really a shameful thing."

"It seems you really don't believe me? There's nothing I can do." Li Ling suddenly pointed at Hong Si, "Start from him, kill me!"

Just as everyone was stunned, Boss Ma had already come to Hong Si step by step and grabbed him. Without any hesitation, the sharp knife had pierced into his throat. It was like killing a pig and chicken. He slashed it skillfully and cut his throat open, making him unable to even scream. Then, with his hand moving, he threw a guy who was still struggling directly into the water.

With a thud, the person disappeared, and the other five people, as well as the Yang brothers' hearts, suddenly shrank, and everyone's eyes showed an incredible look. This was too fast and ruthless, so didn't they give anyone any more thoughts and explanations?

Yang Chen was even more shocked. When he looked at Li Ling again, he was really afraid. In the past, he thought that the people in their Imperial City were extremely heartless and ruthless. As long as the people who fell into their hands were bound to be stripped off. Until now, after seeing Li Ling's ruthlessness, he realized how ridiculous his thoughts were. In terms of ruthlessness, his brothers were not enough to see at all.

Yang Zhen has been there for a long time, and they have killed people, but it is still too impactful to take human life so casually.

Li Ling, however, looked like nothing happened, and his eyes fell on another person: "I only asked once, and if I don't tell the truth, he is your role model. Who are you, why do you follow me?"

The man's body couldn't help but tremble, but then he mustered up the courage to stare back: "I won't tell you..."

"Kill!"

With Li Ling's words, Boss Ma scored another dozen people and threw them into the river. Obviously, this person was also a cruel person, and he really wanted to kill without blinking. But at this moment, the one who really scared people was still asking Li Ling, who ordered, because he was the one who was in charge of life and death.

So when Li Ling's eyes fell on the youngest and handsome guy among the few people, he finally collapsed and cried loudly: "Don't kill me... I said, I said... We are from the Luotian Sect, we followed you as our elders and passed the news back to Huaibei... We, we never thought of hurting you..."

Even if he is a powerful person, he will easily collapse when facing such a life-and-death juncture. This is even more so, and under the pressure, he finally shook the truth.

After hearing this explanation, both the Yang brothers and Li Ling were surprised.

Because they thought these people were sent by a certain force in the court, or the prince's party, or the Yongwang party, but who thought that they were the unexpected enemy of Luo Tian Sect!

Li Ling was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on him again: "What's your name? Where's the person? I'll say!"

"My name is Chen Laoliu. I am from the capital. I joined the sect two years ago. I followed my fourth brother this time and left the capital for the first time."

"Where are you?" Li Ling looked at the other few again. They had already lost the intention of hiding resistance at this time, and also told everything they knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

However, there is no further inside story. It is nothing more than that the fourth brother they mentioned is the master of the Luotian Sect’s capital branch. This time, he followed the sect’s elders. In addition, they actually made some arrangements after Li Ling entered the capital and paid attention to some of his whereabouts...

When these things were explained one by one by one by them, especially Li Ling's usual interactions and actions were expressed, we could be sure that what they said was not false. These followers really had nothing to do with the disputes in the court, but people from the Luotian Sect.
