Chapter 108: Acting in advance

Everyone was stunned. It was too fast, and no one saw who it was.

Several villagers watching the fun stood up straight and whispered: "Could it be Boss Lu?"

The water surface quickly returned to calm.

He Yue couldn't help asking the villagers: "Is this situation normal?"

"It's okay." The villager replied, "Boss Lu has good water skills; he will come up in a while."

He Yue grasped the key point.

There is something strange in the lake, everyone is surprised, but the villagers only mention Boss Lu's water skills. That is to say, they don't think the abnormality in the lake will pose a threat to Boss Lu.

Thinking of this, he whispered to Zeng Feixiong: "Prepare to act!"

Zeng Feixiong was startled: "Now?"

"Better to act now than later!" The teenager was exceptionally determined. "He didn't bring a long knife when he entered the water, and there are all our people here, and there are only four or five bandits; it is a good opportunity to capture him!"

Zeng Feixiong scanned the audience and found that the situation was really as He Yue said.

Usually, Boss Lu is followed by a dozen little brothers, and this village has become his home field, coming and going freely. By the time the government soldiers are fully prepared to encircle and suppress, they may not even know where he is.

At this moment, he is in the water, without weapons, and the little brothers on the shore look like dishes, not many can fight.

A rare opportunity, fleeting.

Zeng Feixiong nodded.

At this time, the government soldiers who had gone into the water had already climbed up to put on their clothes, and some wanted to touch the fish again, but Zeng Feixiong scolded them: "Stand still, what does it look like!" While saying this, he made a gesture.

Mao Tao was stunned; this is the signal for "prepare to act" commonly used by sand bandits. Zeng Feixiong has traveled the Red Cliff trade route for many years, defeated countless bandits, and is also proficient in the secret signals of sand bandits.

This set was naturally promoted by him to the army under his command.

So the soldiers were startled when they saw it, stopped playing, and silently tightened their belts.

Weapons are tucked into the belt.

The water surface made a splashing sound, and a person and a big fish floated up at the same time.

This person was naturally Boss Lu, who called out to the shore while holding a big fish: "Hey, all come down to help!"

The length of the fish reached an astonishing nine feet (three meters), dark green, the fish body as thick as a door panel, and the whiskers by the mouth were very long.

Such a downright behemoth was motionless in the water, pushed by Boss Lu, and He Yue didn't see any wounds on it.

Zeng Feixiong gave a look, and all the soldiers jumped down with him, shouting: "Coming, coming."

Those few villagers also hurriedly went into the water, a dozen people surrounded the big fish and used force together, wanting to lift it to the shore. The bigger the fish, the better it tastes; such a big fish, whether it is cooked, fried, or roasted, is a delicacy.

Zeng Feixiong grabbed a good position as soon as he went into the water, standing beside Boss Lu. He just used his shoulder to carry it, but it slipped: "Ouch, the scales scrape people!"

The scales of a nine-foot-long fish are thick and hard, but the edges are sharp and thin; they can be used as a planer if removed.

Zeng Feixiong was facing Boss Lu at this time, and took the opportunity to turn back to his original position, his right hand touched a short thorn from behind, and stabbed directly into his ribs! At this time, everyone was holding the fish with both hands, and Boss Lu was no exception, so the empty door on his ribs was naturally exposed.

The short thorn was only one foot three inches long, but if this stab was solid and deep, it could directly stab the Boss Lu's spleen, and then stab the lungs through.

Once the spleen is ruptured and bleeding, it is easy for people to fall into a coma, and once the lung qi leaks, no strength can be used.

Zeng Feixiong's move was extremely vicious.

Seeing that the tip of the thorn was about to touch the other party, Boss Lu's left hand suddenly fell, grabbing his wrist, and immediately punched Zeng Feixiong in the face.

This guy's reaction was too fast! Zeng Feixiong took Boss Lu's punch, both were strong, and they wrestled for a few breaths, their subordinates saw something was wrong, picked up their weapons and fought.

The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

He Yue on the shore saw it, jumped into the water without a sound, took out a short dagger from his boot, and greeted Boss Lu's back.

A bandit hurriedly came to block, He Yue dodged the first time, but was pulled back by him, and was punched in the eye socket, the pain piercing his heart.

Mao Tao risked being chopped on the back and pulled him back: "Young Master Two, hurry up to the shore!" His old man is here, which will only distract everyone! At this time, He Chunhua also arrived with his wife, and the personal guard team rushed from all directions.

Similarly, the bandits posing as villagers tore off their disguises, and one after another touched the hidden weapons from every corner, shouting and rushing over.

In the water, on land, they were all fighting.

Boss Lu had already fought with Zeng Feixiong, bare-handed against a long knife, fighting more and more bravely even in the water. His fists, as big as sand bowls, suddenly hardened, like diamond rock, and Zeng Feixiong's long knife slashed on it, sparking a long string of fire.

Zeng Feixiong looked closely, and the enemy's skin surface turned into fish scales, even flashing with metallic luster. In just two breaths, this change covered Boss Lu's two forearms.

Bare-handed, it could actually turn into a weapon.

Boss Lu roared, and a faint black light appeared on his body, smashing down with several heavy punches.

Zeng Feixiong knew that it was not suitable to be hard at this time, so he had to block with a knife. He seemed to be facing a humanoid violent bear, and after the fourth blow, "clang," the knife broke.

Fortunately, two personal guards rushed to the front and blocked Boss Lu's last blow for him.

One was beaten to the bottom on the spot, and the other was beaten out of the secondary pool, falling into the lake outside.

"Stop!" Boss Lu roared loudly. "Stop fighting, we don't want to fight!"

He Chunhua had already taken out the State Foundation Order and was about to use it, but paused: "Can the words of bandits be taken seriously?"

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago, do I need to treat you with good food and drink all night?" Boss Lu said quickly. "You are just passing by, and we are going south, so why not coexist peacefully for one night, and go our separate ways tomorrow morning?"

His own side didn't want to fight either, so he just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. He Chunhua quickly evaluated the battle situation in his heart, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "Good, truce! Put away the weapons!"

He Yue retreated to his side, not making a sound, his face heavy.

Both father and son saw clearly that although their side had the advantage in numbers and the blessing of the State Foundation Order, they had no overwhelming advantage against this bunch of bandits, and Boss Lu's ferocity was even more unexpected.

Even if the government soldiers could win in the end, the damage would be great. This personal guard team is the foundation He Chunhua brought north to fight, and he usually feels distressed if one person is lost, so how can he be ruined here?

This sneak attack was considered a failure. Since both sides had reasons not to fight to the death, let's stop as soon as possible.

Both leaders spoke, and the subordinates stopped fighting, spat at each other, and returned to their respective camps to heal their wounds.
