Chapter 825: Heaven Dew

*Bang, bang, bang. *

The cloud board and gongs rang together.

The standard hard boot soles collided, rubbed, and squeezed against the deck, making a messy noise.

All the soldiers, officials, and merchants hurriedly put on coats, ran onto the deck, and turned around like headless flies, asking what happened and why the alarm was sounded.

"Master Liang was assassinated?"

Learning the reason, everyone on the field was shocked, voices were noisy, worry, fear, panic, all kinds of emotions surged out.

"Who? Who did it?"

"Is Master Liang safe? I want to see Master! I want to see Master!"

"Light the lamps, light the lamps! Light all the torches!"

"Is it the Ghost Mother Sect? Or the Northern Court or Southern Frontier jealous of our Great Shun's talent?"

"Is the assassin dead?"

Liang Qu, from the fifth-rank Hengshui Lieutenant, County Earl, Sixth-rank Upper Cavalry Commandant, Great Shun Hunting Tiger record holder, powerful challenger to the Perfected Form record, rarely seen in a hundred years, the person with the highest status on the ship.

If something really happened to him, none of them could run!

Damn it.

How could there be an assassin?

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! *

The soldiers soaked in fire oil and hit the fire stones.

Sparks burst.

Clusters of torches illuminated the night, the orange light swaying with the river wind.

Countless faces alternated between light and dark, moving forward with the jumping boards between the ships.

Leading treasure ship deck.

*Drip! *

Blood splashed.

Growing into a dark red branch in the swaying of the treasure ship, the rich smell of blood drilled into the nose.

"Master, you, you are injured?"

The soldier held a torch in one hand and supported Liang Qu with the other, looking down by the firelight, his pupils dilated.

Liang Qu grabbed the gauze to cover his lower abdomen, blood still flowing out between his fingers, staining the Dragon Spirit Silk, his face pale.

He took three steps back.

Liang Qu threw away the soldier's support and pointed to the pitch-black room: "Don't worry about me, minor injury, go in and catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"

"Gulp!"

The soldiers who arrived one after another all swallowed their saliva.

Liang Qu was a dignified Hunting Tiger martial artist, said to have cultivated to perfection, the highest martial power on the ship. If he was seriously injured, wouldn't they be sending themselves to death if they went up?

If anyone should come, it should be Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe.

By the way.

Where are the two brothers?

"What are you afraid of? If the assassin really had ability, how could I have come out? He was beaten to his knees by me, already failing, and hid in the bottom layer. Whoever captures the assassin alive, I will surely report the merit! It's just that his knife was poisoned, and I need to use *qi* to suppress it, so I have no strength to capture him again."

A turn of thought, reasonable and logical.

That's right!

Master Liang has high means. Since he can calmly show his face, how could the assassin be intact?

Maybe he is already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Suddenly, some people were moved and touched toward the room.

Where there is one, there is two. Gathering in groups strengthens courage.

In a moment.

Many soldiers changed from walking to running, from hesitation and fear at the beginning to fearing that others would take advantage, surging into the ship's cabin like a tide, scrambling.

"Go!"

"Hurry up!"

"Catch the assassin and get rich!"

*Clang! *

The sound of drawing knives was endless.

More and more people stepped forward.

The night wind whistled, waves slapped the ship.

The treasure ship was noisy and exploded into a group.

People squeezed people, shoulders touched shoulders.

"Soldier" held a short dagger, followed the surging crowd, boarded the leading treasure ship, until he came to his side...

*Slap! *

A fair hand circled and gripped the arm.

"Soldier" looked up in astonishment.

A pair of autumn water eyes entered his sight.

Before he could appreciate it.

*Crack, crack, crack. *

"Ah!"

"Soldier" screamed to the sky.

The noisy deck suddenly became quiet.

The soldiers grabbing merit stopped their steps.

Long Eying crushed the wrist, snatched the dagger from the soldier's hand, and threw it back to Liang Qu.

"Can't tell fish blood from human blood, what kind of assassin are you running out to be?"

Gauze, dagger flew out in an arc, exchanging positions.

Liang Qu looked disdainful, took the dagger and observed it under the firelight—a piece of dark blue, foul-smelling, obviously poisoned. Just looking at the material, it was even a spirit weapon of good quality.

Long Eying dismantled the "soldier's" hair bun, long black hair draped over her shoulders, and then wiped her face with the fish-blood gauze, revealing a face that was bright but distorted by pain.

The aura leaked—a dignified Hunting Tiger martial artist, with no resistance under Eying's hands, turning back and forth like a fluffy chick.

"Is it really a woman?" Long Eying was curious.

"I said I wouldn't recognize it wrong."

"How did you recognize it?"

"Relying on the spiritual seed."

"She has that?" Long Eying was stunned.

The Sun Spiritual Seed can detect *yuan yin*. The assassin in front of her was not only a woman dressed as a man, but also a "young lady"!

Rare thing.

"I'm also puzzled."

The two talked regardless of the surroundings. Until they finished communicating, they seemed to realize the environment around them.

Liang Qu waved his hand: "Yan Qingshan, Yan Chongwen, you two take her down, torture and interrogate."

The Yan brothers were stunned: "The assassin below..."

"She is the assassin."

"?"

Everyone's brains were spinning.

Liang Qu jumped out in the middle of the night to say he was catching an assassin, and then caught an assassin?

What about the assassin below?

Are there two?

Bottom of the ship's cabin.

The little river otter bared its fangs and brandished its claws, hugging a soldier's leg and biting randomly.

It was sleeping soundly when suddenly a group of soldiers broke in, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"Where is the person? Why can't I see them?"

"None here, none there."

Dozens of people used knife sheaths to poke here and there, turning over dry grass, not a hair was found!

Treasure ship deck.

Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe rushed back from the stern, assisting Yan Chongwen and Yan Qingshan in torture.

Liang Qu jumped onto the lookout bucket.

"Everyone go back to sleep, hard work. Those who boarded the ship today, assisting in the capture of the assassin, one small merit each, extra meal tomorrow!"

The soldiers knew they had become members of the play to catch the assassin. Although there was no big merit they imagined, a small merit was still a benefit.

The next evening.

Liang Qu threw the spirit weapon, comparing it with the Azure Wolf to see which was better.

Long Pingjiang rushed back to report.

"Didn't interrogate it out?"

"Yes, her memory was artificially modified, only knowing she had to execute the assassination mission."

"This..."

Liang Qu was surprised. He could understand blood curses and the like, but how was memory modification done?

Memory modified, can she execute the mission normally?

"Where did she practice? Life memories can't be deleted in one piece, right?"

Long Pingjiang was embarrassed: "I don't know at all..."

"So powerful, and a Hunting Tiger martial artist, doesn't look like something the Ghost Mother Sect can do..." Liang Qu pondered.

The technique was too high-end, not like something a small force or small workshop could produce.

Although the Ghost Mother Sect is not small, it is detached from the era, the version is backward, and it shouldn't have such superb technology.

Really Southern Frontier and Northern Court?

"Why is it a woman?" Long Eying asked. "I see her appearance is not bad."

Long Pingjiang raised his eyes to look at Liang Qu.

Liang Qu frowned: "If you have something to say, say it. Why look at me secretly?"

"This woman's plan was to seduce first, but who knew..." Long Pingjiang said halfway, and suddenly there was a message in the spiritual link, and his tone changed immediately, "Who knew she felt inferior when she saw Eying, hesitated, and happened to have an incident on the Elder's ship in the middle of the night, 'seriously injured,' giving an opportunity."

Long Eying pinched Liang Qu's shoulder: "You taught her?"

She knew Liang Qu and Long Pingjiang had the ability to exchange information.

"How is that possible." Liang Qu denied it.

Long Eying naturally didn't believe it, but still narrowed her eyes.

"There are no other means left on the ship, right? Damaging support materials is a big deal."

"Pinghe, Binglin, and I checked three times, absolutely true, no backup."

"That's good."

Liang Qu breathed a sigh of relief.

With the 【Eye-Knowledge Method】, without targeted techniques, ordinary "assassination" simply doesn't exist.

Before boarding the ship today, he felt a needle-prick malice.

No accident.

An accident happened.

To avoid alerting the enemy, and worrying that the other party was sent by the Ghost Mother Sect and had a backup to destroy the materials, Liang Qu didn't make a move to pull it out immediately, but first let Binglin take the Dragon-man brothers to self-check the fleet.

As for why he performed a play after the self-check...

"Where is the thing?"

Long Eying took out an ice tube.

A golden long stick covered in frost was lying inside, shivering.

Just right.

The time worm that had been lying for more than three months woke up last night!

It was noisy and caused a big commotion. If Eying hadn't frozen it, Liang Qu almost wouldn't have been able to control it!

At that time, the Dragon-man brothers sent a message back that there was no backup, and the cabin "exploded." He simply took this opportunity to catch the other party in the act!

Injured, poisoned, and powerless, with other assassins drawing attention, no "fish" could resist biting!

Communicate with the Ze Ding.

The ice worm's belly was shriveled, shivering and emitting a low cry.

【Obtained a wisp of Heaven Dew. If fused with 150,000 water-marsh essences, a spiritual fish can be born, with mysterious effects.】

Heaven Dew?

When fusing, it was an interference color, but Heaven Dew was a pure sky blue.

Just one glance, and he felt refreshed.

He hadn't figured out the mysterious nature of Heaven Dew yet.

Sunset over the Great Marsh.

The sunset glow gradually dispersed.

The Ze Ding trembled again.

A wisp of crimson long *qi* appeared and swayed.

【Obtained a wisp of red *qi*. If fused with 10,000 water-marsh essences, a spiritual fish can be born, which can sublimate favor.】
