Chapter Twenty-Five: Calculations

  Everything was arranged properly, and Xu Haifeng called Lin Changkong to ask about the situation of that assassin.

  Lin Changkong shook his head and said, "This person was first hit by a punch from one of his subordinates, then struck by a giant stone thrown by Qin Yong. Originally, he had already suffered severe internal injuries with his five organs displaced. Later, Zhe Bies arrow, shot with a mouthful of resentment, pierced through his chest and abdomen. Now his bleeding has stopped, but he is on the verge of death, and could die at any moment."

  Xu Haifeng didnt think he was injured so severely. Upon further thought, Qin Yong and the other three were incredibly powerful, and it was already a miracle that he had managed to land a sneak attack without being killed on the spot. He asked, "Can he be saved?"

  Lin Changkong helplessly said: "I will definitely do my best, but this persons desire to live is not high, and its likely that he will die nine times out of ten. The hope is not great."

  Xu Haifeng pondered for a moment, took down the wine gourd that had just been mixed with blood from his waist and handed it to Lin Changkong, saying: "You take this wine and pour it into that persons mouth, then tie him up tightly. Ill come to interrogate him later."

  "Yes." Lin Changkong took the gourd and headed towards the underground chamber.

  There is a basement in this courtyard, which is gloomy and cold inside, but has extremely strong sealing performance. Its a great place for private punishment, absolutely no need to worry about being known by others.

  Todays unexpected events were numerous, and by this time, Xu Haifeng was exhausted. He gave two brief orders before resting, but as soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware of anything.

  Just as he was in a deep sleep, he suddenly found someone shaking his body, and when he opened his eyes dazedly, he saw Zhebies tall figure standing in front of his bed. Suddenly remembered that before falling asleep, he had instructed to notify himself as soon as Zhebie woke up, apparently his order had been executed flawlessly.

  "Zhebie, youre awake. How do you feel?" Xuhai Feng struggled to stand up and did a few exercises to loosen his muscles, unexpectedly feeling much more alert and clear-headed.

  "The subordinate has fully recovered." Zhe said with his head down.

  Xu Haifeng opened his shirt, revealing a scar several inches long on his chest. He couldnt help but admire the effectiveness of his Blood Wine, which was able to treat even such an injury, making it almost as good as a miraculous medicine.

  "General, that Caesar person has also woken up." Lin Changkong strolled over to Xu Haifeng and saluted.

  "Oh, lets go take a look." Xu Haifeng thought to himself that it was about time too. Since Zhe Bie had woken up, it wasnt surprising that the Caesar person would also wake up.

  Xu Haifeng brought Qin Yong and three others to the underground room, where they saw that the Kaisar person was staring around with a pair of bewildered eyes. He had been sealed by Lin Changkong in several large holes, his wrists, elbows, and knees were tightly bound by thin copper wires, so even if he had the ability to reach the sky, he could only lie there motionless.

  "Whats your name?" Gazing into his eyes, Xu Haifeng finally discovered that hint of abnormal redness and felt greatly relieved.

  "Andrew Alexander," Caesar replied without hesitation.

  Xu Haifeng revealed a hint of a smile. Before this, all those who had drunk the Blood Wine had no hostile relationship with him, even the Xiongnu people did not have direct enmity with him. Therefore, he was not certain whether someone who wanted to harm him would still become obedient to him after drinking the Blood Wine like others, but now it seems that the effect of the Blood Wine is regardless of nationality and ethnicity, let alone those complicated interpersonal relationships.

  "Why have you come to assassinate me."

  "I dont want to kill you, I want to kill him." Andrews eyes still gleamed with a hint of murderous intent as he gazed at Zhebie.

  Xu Haifeng furrowed his brow and said, "I dont care what your previous identity was or what you did before, but from today on, you are my subordinate. All of my subordinates must unite as one, help each other, and are not allowed to harm each other. Do you understand?"

  Andrew nodded immediately: "Yes, understood."

  "From now on, you can call me General, and consider him a member of our army. Qin Yong, untie his bonds."

  Qin Yong responded with a single word, walked forward, pulled out the copper wire from his body, and with a slight tug, the indestructible copper wire was broken into two pieces. In this world, perhaps only Qin Yong could break the copper wire with brute force. Even if it were someone else, even a master-level extraordinary expert, they would not be able to compare with him in terms of brute strength. Lin Changkong also came forward and opened up Andrews acupoints. Andrew stood up, moved his limbs, and said: "Yes sir, General."

  Xu Haifeng checked and found that his injuries had fully recovered, except for a bowl-sized scar between his chest and abdomen that was shocking to see.

  "You and Zhebie have each hurt each other once, so its even. This feud is settled here and now, and from now on, no one is allowed to mention it again."

  "Yes, General." Zhebe and Andrew bowed simultaneously.

  After some inquiry, Xu Haifeng finally learned that Andrews father was a famous master in the Caesar Empire, but five years ago, his father was seriously injured in a duel with the first master of the Caesar Empire, Auben, and eventually died of his injuries. Since then, their faction has been declining, and this time Andrew brought two younger brothers to the East, hoping to establish military merit and revive their family. Today, among the escaped Caesarians in Linan City was the third prince of the Caesar Empire, who promised that as long as Andrew could kill Zhebie, he would fully support their family. Under the temptation of great benefits, Andrew took a desperate gamble, risking his life to try.

  "Has your martial arts skills improved at this moment?" Xu Haifeng thought that everyone who drank the blood wine would more or less increase their strength, and wondered what level Andrew, who was originally a top-notch expert, could reach.

  In the Great Han Empire, a top-notch expert is called First-Rank, followed by Second-Rank. Similarly, an exceptionally skilled master is known as Super-Rank.

  "Its indeed a slight increase, if all three of us brothers have this growth, then under the joint efforts, we can fight against Auben."

  Xu Haifengs heart skipped a beat, Andrew was already on par with Lin Changkong before drinking the Blood Wine, now he must be even more unbeatable. Judging from his tone, his two younger brothers martial arts skills were not inferior to his, and being able to remain undefeated under the joint attack of these three people, he must be a master-level expert. Who would have thought that the Caesars also had such an extraordinary strongman?

  "Where are your two younger brothers?" Xu Haifeng suddenly had the idea of submitting, with three such people by his side, wasnt it equivalent to having a master-level strongman at his beck and call? The temptation was fatal, just thinking about it made him excited.

  "In a residential house in the outer city."

  After some consideration, Xu Haifeng felt that this risk was worth taking no matter what. After all, under the protection of Andrew and Lin Changkong, he could at least protect himself. Led by Andrew, Xu Haifeng brought three great generals and mobilized 500 Black Flag Army soldiers to set out for the outer city.

  Upon arriving at Andrews designated location, Xu Haifeng ordered the 500 Black Flag Army to scatter far and wide, forming an effective encirclement. Zhebie was stationed in the distance, using his archery skills to press down on them. With a deliberate and unintentional calculation, even a master-level expert would be unable to escape, let alone just a first-rate high-ranking official.

  Xu Haifeng and Qin Yong hid in a nearby place, as long as Qin Yong, this knife-proof strongman, was by his side, Xu Haifeng should be safe for the time being.

  Andrew and Lin Changkong quietly slipped into a civilian house.

  Xu Haifeng didnt dare to get too close, the place where he was and the target were separated by two houses. He evacuated the residents of this house, went upstairs, took out the spoils of war binoculars. Good stuff, really good stuff, he couldnt help but praise, through the lens, Andrews figure seemed to be within arms reach.

  Andrew was seen approaching the door without hiding his figure and directly knocked on it.

  "Rustle, rustle...... rustle, rustle......" A questioning voice came from inside, but due to the distance, Xu Haifeng couldnt hear clearly. Even if he had heard it clearly, it would have been useless, because this was obviously not a language of the Great Han nation.

  The door of the house opened, and a man who looked somewhat like Andrew came out with an impatient face. When he saw that it was actually Andrew standing outside the door, he suddenly became overjoyed and turned his head to shout loudly towards the inside. At this moment, Andrew suddenly made a move, striking the mans acupoint with lightning speed. The mans voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at Andrew in incredulity. Just then, another person emerged from the door, his movements swift as lightning, reaching out to grab the first mans arm and pulling him back inside. But Andrew almost simultaneously grabbed the other mans arm and pulled it towards his chest.

  The latecomer was afraid of hurting his own brother, and had no choice but to let go. He watched as Andrew muttered to himself while launching a fierce attack.

  But Andrews original skill was not inferior, and after drinking the blood wine, he made further progress. No matter how fiercely he attacked, like a stormy rain, he just swung his hands and responded with ease. Lin Changkong also didnt idle around, jumping out from his hiding place to launch a pincer attack on this person.

  The two of them were not inferior to this person in terms of martial arts, and under the joint attack, this person was unable to withstand. He made a decisive move, knowing that if they continued to drag on, both brothers would fall to the ground. His body continuously shook, barely enduring three punches, but managed to find an opening to escape from between the two. However, just as he jumped onto the rooftop, a feathered arrow seemed to streak across the sky like a meteor, piercing his thigh with incredible force and sending him crashing to the ground. As if they had coordinated thousands of times before, two hands pressed down on his temples and the back of his head, and before he could even feel the intense pain from his wound, he lost consciousness.

  The great cause is accomplished, and Xu Haifeng puts down the telescope with a big laugh. He set up such an array also helpless move, people who drank blood wine except Qin Yong and Zhebie, all become not good at speaking, indifferent to things, only know listen to orders, want them to charge forward not in words, but want them to execute some complex tasks is somewhat inadequate. If you want to rely on Andrew to deceive his two brothers, unless they are idiots, otherwise, as soon as they speak, they will find the flaw.

  Fortunately, at this moment, Xu Haifengs troops were elite and brave, and with the suddenness of the incident, they finally succeeded in one fell swoop.
