Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 626 - 187: Gang Leader, We Are Surrounded (Requesting Monthly Votes)_5

For a long time, there was no movement.

Si Xi ordered the doors of White Tiger Hall to be closed and led the remaining elite warriors in a defensive stance. Tonight, the finest of White Tiger Hall had emerged, marking the strongest state they could be in, yet it was also the moment when White Tiger Hall’s headquarters were most vulnerable.

It was time for Si Xi to make the most secure preparations.

After all, his wife was still in White Tiger Hall.

"Madam, it’s cool at night. Let’s go back," Yin Hongmei said in a soft voice, standing behind Su Yunjin.

Su Yunjin replied, "Oh, I’ll stand here a little longer."

Yin Hongmei frowned slightly and said, "Madam, since you are so worried about the Hall Master, why not go out and see him off?"

A bitter smile played on Su Yunjin’s lips as she said, "I’m afraid he’ll be distracted because of me. A man’s career can sometimes be hindered by a woman. I don’t want to become his hindrance."

"A hindrance? How could that be? Madam, you love the Hall Master so much. You’ve done so much for him. How could you be a hindrance?"

Su Yunjin shook her head, "His ambitions are too great. I can only try to catch up to his pace, yet all I want is for him to live happily."

Yin Hongmei said, "Well, Madam, if only the Hall Master were willing to give up everything and take you into seclusion. Then you wouldn’t have to be so constantly anxious."

On hearing this, Su Yunjin looked at Yin Hongmei and said, "Seclusion? Great houses are about to fall, fine young men should be waging wars far and wide. My husband’s heart is set on the world. If he were to become a simple farmer, he wouldn’t be happy. And I cannot, because of my selfishness, allow him to give up his dreams. Otherwise, I don’t deserve to be his wife!"

"But you being scared every day, it really..."

Yin Hongmei said sympathetically, at which Su Yunjin touched her belly and said, "Let’s go back."

Su Yunjin needed to take good care of herself. She carried the bloodline of the Chen family inside her. Should a day come when her husband met with misfortune, she would find a secluded place to give birth to her husband’s child, ensuring the continuation of the Chen family’s lineage, and then take her own life to follow her husband!

...

Warriors embark on campaigns, leaving their loved ones yearning.

Across the vast deserts of the battlefield, they long for their return!

In these chaotic times, men and women repeat all of the above every day.

A group of people walked along the street in silence. Chen Jie suddenly frowned—this wouldn’t do. Although he intended to use the decoy strategy,

not letting his brothers rush to their deaths, going so quietly seemed much too spiritless!

With that thought, Chen Jie squinted his eyes and said, "Even if we can avoid real combat, our battle cry must be the loudest."

After understanding this, Chen Jie called Zhou Chu over.

Zhou Chu was adept at such things, and after understanding Chen Jie’s requirements,

Zhou Chu said, "Hall Master, leave it to me."

’The atmosphere, that’s my specialty,’ Zhou Chu thought as he ran to the front of the group and shouted, "Brothers, draw your swords!" freēnovelkiss.com

With a crashing sound, over a hundred people drew their swords simultaneously. Zhou Chu shouted, "Brothers, with swords in hand, follow me, kill Ba Tian, and avenge our blood feud!"

The blood feud referred to Nan Batian ordering Gu Qingfeng to kill twenty-eight White Tiger warriors.

Hearing this, the crowd immediately took up the cry, "Kill Ba Tian, avenge our blood feud!"

In an instant, the atmosphere was charged.

Chen Jie nodded in satisfaction. It didn’t matter whether he was shirking the hard work; they couldn’t lose when it came to morale!

Chanting their slogan, full of fighting spirit, they set out. To anyone listening to the slogans and witnessing the fierce White Tiger Guards, it wouldn’t cross their mind that they were shirking work.

And so, a group boldly headed for the Fishing Guild Headquarters. Suddenly, a troop of men dashed out ahead of them—it turned out to be Liu Laoguai.

Liu Laoguai had brought Bai Mosheng with him, leading a group of over a hundred people.

Upon meeting, Chen Jie smiled and said, "Old Brother Liu, you’re right on time!"

Liu Laoguai laughed and said, "Fighting against Nan Batian, I would be out of my mind to be late."

Chen Jie said, "From the looks of it, Nan Batian truly is a heinous criminal!"

Liu Laoguai replied, "The scoundrel owes a mountain of blood debt, which he must repay today."

Chen Jie said, "Yes, my foster father died because of the trap set by him and Feng Xuan, not to mention the lives of twenty-eight of my brothers. Twenty-nine lives in total. I only want Nan Batian’s life; what more could he be dissatisfied with!"

Liu Laoguai said with a chuckle, "Over the years, he’s had a hand in the death of more than a dozen of my men, but what I find absolutely intolerable is that he even tried to kill my son. He must pay with his life for that."

The two men exchanged glances, their eyes filled with the desire for revenge.

While they were conversing, a sound of galloping horse hooves suddenly rose from nearby. Horses, and such a large number of cavalry—it must be Lord Yelu.

Chen Jie and Liu Laoguai turned to look.

They saw Yelu riding a horse, with Qimu Ge by his side, followed by two hundred Black Cavalry, quietly advancing through the darkness, and they happened to meet Chen Jie’s group.

Chen Jie and Liu Laoguai immediately stepped forward to greet him with a bow, "Lord Yelu."

Upon hearing this, Yelu said, "You are both here, what about Eagle Hall?"

Chen Jie and Liu Laoguai were stunned, "Is there something with Eagle Hall?"

Yelu said, "Yes, Eagle Hall’s Qin Ying has also abandoned the darkness for light and joined us. He said he would send troops to join the campaign."

Liu Laoguai said, "We have not seen any sign of them."

Chen Jie frowned and said, "Could they be trying to confuse us and not coming at all?"

Yelu said, "We cannot afford to wait. Let’s wait a little longer."

As he was speaking, Liu Laoguai said, "With such a grand presence, we cannot afford to wait long; delays could lead to changes."

Chen Jie agreed, "Indeed, we can only wait briefly. With such commotion, the Fishing Guild must have been alerted by now."

Yelu squinted and said, "Yes, we’ll wait for them..."

Before Yelu could finish, a group of people appeared in the distance, approaching with torches. There were at least five or six hundred, apparently more than the combined forces of the three parties Chen Jie had joined.
