Because of the existence of Suojiang Pass, a small market town was formed here. In the past, this prosperous river was shipped by boat. Because there were tax inspections here and whether the number of goods was consistent with the amount on the tax bill, the ships were inevitably stranded. Therefore, there were still many inns and restaurants in this small bay area.

In the past few months, the atmosphere in Jiangnan has been tense and the number of ships has been greatly reduced. However, above the berth, there are still dozens of merchant ships docking where they are preparing to pass the inspection.

The battle broke out so suddenly and without warning, and these merchant ships were shocked at the first time. Of course, their idea was to leave this place of right and wrong immediately. The mob rebelled, which would destroy everything without discrimination. However, the boss or the head of these merchant ships was not on the ship at this moment. These people were rich people, so they would not wait on the boat in the cold night to blow the north wind, but took silver to the inns and restaurants on the shore. There were not only warm houses, but also mellow wine and beautiful women, and thin horses in the south of the Yangtze River, which was famous all over the world.

Those who guard the boat are naturally those miserable boatmen and guards who are responsible for guarding.

Li Junwu was one of them. After retiring, he stayed in the army for a long time and could not adapt to the days of farming at home and farming honestly. After marrying a wife and having children, he could no longer survive. He put on his armor, picked up a big knife, and found a guard from an escort business, and started his wandering around the world again.

He always thought that he would probably have no chance of being in the battlefield in his life, and at most he would be trembling with the bandits and gangsters who fought for family and houses. But he never expected that today he would witness a real battle again here.

At first, like Gao Yaguang, he thought these people were just textile workers in Jiangnan. To be honest, Li Junwu was quite sympathetic in his heart. After all, he had no job and had to jump a few times, right? Moreover, he didn't think that these mobs could be opponents of the armed policemen, so he sat on the bow of the boat with his knees in his arms with interest to see how capable these armed policemen were.

The armed police were formerly local county soldiers and were affiliated with the military, but later the imperial court reorganized and greatly reduced the local army. The rest was changed to armed police, and the ownership was also changed to the Ministry of Justice. If it were in the Ming Dynasty, Li Junwu did not doubt the combat effectiveness of these people, because most of the people who constituted the armed police retired from the field army, and several of his friends were there, but in this Chu area, it was impossible to say.

However, the excitement was not long. When the first armed policeman of fifty people wanted to dissuade these mobs from approaching Suojiang Pass but was swallowed without even turning up a bubble, he jumped up.

That was not a mob, it was a well-trained army. His heart was beating wildly. Could it be that the army stationed in Jiangnan had rebelled?

This idea was dispelled by him without lingering in his mind for long. The fierce battle between the two sides over Suojiang Pass made him determine who these people were?

There are still great differences in the styles and techniques of the Ming army and Qi army in combat. As a veteran, he can certainly distinguish them.

He looked at the guards on the deck who were originally watching the fun with him. He saw the same meaning in the eyes of these people. The next moment, they all got into the cabin together. When they came out again, everyone was wearing helmets and armor, carrying their most advantageous weapons.

These armors were covered with scars, but the weapons in Wei's hand were polished and shiny.

Li Junwu took more than a dozen guards on the boat to jump from one boat to another, and quickly approached the river embankment. During this process, their team became larger and larger. After getting ashore, more than a hundred people had gathered.

They were all guards on merchant ships nearby, and they were retired soldiers from the Ming Dynasty.

"My name is Li Junwu. Before retiring, I was the Captain Zhiguo. Is there anyone with a higher rank than my military rank?" Li Junwu shouted loudly.

No one responded in the team.

"Okay, then from now on, I will be the leader." Li Junwu raised his big sword, "Go out of the line, sergeant out of the line, rectify the team, and attack the front arrow formation. Now start counting."

Before the ten numbers were counted, the formation was integrated.

Without any hesitation, Li Junwu raised the sword in his hand high and issued a stern order: "Ming soldiers, attack!"

More than a hundred soldiers shouted and took neat steps, rushing from behind to the tail of the Qi army. These people had different years of retirement. Some were middle-aged people in their early forties, while others were still in their twenties. However, they suddenly gathered together and formed into a formation, as if they had been training together for many years, and their pace was not chaotic. Even in the rapid advance, the formation was still neatly maintained.

In fact, this is the real terrible thing about the Ming Dynasty.

Their arrival was just the right time. At this time, Gao Yaguang could no longer resist it, because under the fierce attack of thousands of Qi troops head-on, an enemy also came from his back.

These people came out of the water, like water ghosts, emerged from the water, swung out and grabbed the walls, and then climbed up. This forced him to divide some people to resist these attacks. But it was obvious that the combat effectiveness of these people coming out of the water was even more terrifying than the Qi army in front of him. The people who had just divided the past suffered heavy losses as soon as they fought, which forced him to take people to resist. But as soon as he left, he was facing a collapse on the front.

The joining of Li Junwu and others greatly relieved his pressure, causing Shaoqi people to attack head-only, and was instantly disrupted by this team that suddenly joined.

There were not many people in Li Junwu, only a few hundred people, but compared to armed police, their energy and combat effectiveness were far superior to that of the armed police. After leaving the army, the murderous aura that these people had raised for many years had been kept in their hearts. With a happy channel of catharsis, they rushed in from the unexpected Qi army's rear troop, and in an instant, they caused chaos in the Qi army. Forcing the Qi army to turn around and fight with them first.

The originally precarious form of Suojiang Pass immediately improved greatly.

The emergence of this team that was completely unexpected disrupted many people's plans. In a restaurant above the market town, a man took a deep breath, pressed the window frame, and then he floated to the ground, then he walked slowly towards Suojiang Pass. It seemed very slow, but in fact it was very fast.

This person is Cao Hui.

Now Cao Hui rarely puts himself on the front line and fights to the death. He is even more willing to be a behind-the-scenes trader, playing with all kinds of people like puppets on the applause. He is out of the matter and watching these people fight to the death because of his plans.

He thought this was in line with his identity. Even now, he was the case. When he came to Suojiang Pass, he wanted to appreciate his masterpiece to put a perfect end. When Suojiang Pass was controlled by the Qi army, the merchant ship carrying the machine passed smoothly, and then went straight to the sea.

Seeing the perfect ending of the plan with one's own eyes and then floating away happily is the greatest happiness of being a hardworking person, but it is obvious that things are a little beyond his control now.

At this moment, he had to take action himself. As a peak warrior at level nine, as long as he took action, he would be able to change the situation in an instant and return to the track he had imagined.

However, as soon as he walked out of the town, he saw a man standing in front of him. He was a guy with a sword on his back. He had been watching the battle at Suojiang Pass, but now he suddenly turned around and happened to block Cao Hui's face.

"I just said this matter wouldn't be that simple. Sure enough, there is still a big head behind me. Commander Cao Hui and Cao have been missing for a long time!" The man said with a smile.

"Ling Fei!" Cao Hui's pupils contracted.

"It's just that I'm here, an unknown soldier. I didn't expect that Commander Cao would still recognize him. It's really a privilege." Ling Fei smiled and pulled out the sword on his back. "Although I don't know what you want to do, it's definitely a small matter that can make Commander Cao go there and take action personally. I'm lucky. It's really a privilege to be proud of. Commander Cao, although the road is not long, if you want to pass, you have to defeat me first."

Of course, Ling Fei is not an unknown servant. He is Bi Wanjian's first disciple and Yang Zhi's senior brother. Although he was pulled from Yang Zhi far away from his martial arts cultivation, he is still a high-ranking existence in the eyes of ordinary people in the martial arts world.

Over the past ten years, Ling Fei's martial arts cultivation has also improved greatly. Especially in order to wipe Yang Zhi's butt, he had to follow Fu Baoshi, the elder of Wanjian Sect, to join the Chu army with 300 disciples to fight against the invasion of Qi. Over the years, not many of the 300 disciples were able to return to the mountain safely, but as long as they returned, they all became the pillars of Wanjian Sect. Ling Fei was the most outstanding one among them.

Ling Fei, who had already stepped steadily into level 9, faced Cao Hui, and drew his sword without any fear.

In fact, it was a complete accident that his appearance here. When the Wanjian Sect was conquering Chu State in the Ming Dynasty, he announced that the mountain would be closed and the two would not help each other. However, Ling Fei did not stay in the mountains forever, but had been traveling down the mountain to seek further breakthroughs in martial arts. At this stage, it would be difficult for him to make more progress by simply practicing hard. After traveling for several years, he had gained a lot, so he prepared to return to the mountain gate. When he passed by the four counties in Jiangnan, he stopped here at the same time.

He was originally going to Huzhou to see if he could help his junior brother, but he didn't expect to run into Cao Hui here.
