Volume 1 Chapter 1 The fragrance of a single incense stick can fill an entire room 037 A promise for three days

  He fainted! I furrowed my brow, tore open his clothes, and retrieved the Hundred-Year Good Union jade pendant from his bosom, putting it between his lips. This jade pendant was my life-saving charm, having been steeped in medicinal herbs; while it couldn't cure a hundred poisons, it could at least keep him from dying for the time being! I absolutely cannot let him be left alone here! What I need to do now is find water as soon as possible.

  Lin Jinghong's mind is extremely meticulous. He can poison the arrow, and he must be waiting by the river! Now that he doesn't come after us, I'm afraid it's because of this! Brother! I gently stroked his cheek and made a decision in an instant. On the battlefield, if a comrade cannot continue fighting, I will choose to kill him without hesitation! But now, I made the opposite decision!

  I want him to live! Even if he lives, I must go die! A slight smile on the corner of his lips, pulling him into the thicket. Slightly raising his head, looking at the stars. Putting the sword in his hand. Yu's figure rushes towards the place where the fire is most prosperous!

  Lin Jinghong is a normal man! A man of his age must have someone he wants to protect! Since he hurt the person I want to protect, I can no longer be so considerate!

  The green clothes gave me great convenience in the dark, and I lurked on the roof of the mansion. Lin Jinghong did not move to find us, but at this time, the pirates were guarding the back yard of the mansion instead. The water source is there! I frowned. Good you Lin Jinghong, building such a large mansion is just to guard the island's freshwater.

  In the dense torches, pirates all raised their swords in a defensive posture. Under the tiles, came the sound of a woman's song. I slightly furrowed my brow. Gently lifted the tiles, but saw below the lamp fire was bright and clear, a beautiful unparalleled woman, was washing in a bath filled with flower petals. That beautiful singing voice, was coming from here!

  Outside the house door, a dozen guards were standing, and inside the room, there was also a maid serving her. The maid was dressed in servant attire, but her figure was slender and attractive. At this tense moment, she could still be so leisurely taking a bath. This woman must have an unusual relationship with Lin Jinghong! With a slight smile, he suddenly broke through the roof, jumped down, and before the people outside rushed in, he pulled out her hairpin and pressed it against her neck!

  The door creaked open. She narrowed her eyes and shouted loudly, "Get out of here! Hurry up and tell Grandpa that the young lady has been caught!"

  At the critical moment of life and death, she is surprisingly calm, directing with determination. If it were in normal times, I would have praised her for being good at this. But now that our lives are at stake, we can only meet as enemies!

  "Little Red! Get out!" she said calmly.

  She responded with a sound, and then took small steps back. I narrowed my eyes slightly, that little red one, wearing a green dress, although dressed as a servant, was exceptionally elegant. With a slight force from her hand, on the woman's neck, a blood mark actually appeared! "No one can leave!"

  She stopped in her tracks and smiled calmly, "Indeed good eyesight! You actually saw through it! Set up a scheme, didn't expect it to end like this! What do you want?"

  I smiled faintly. "There's no master who would allow a servant girl to be prettier than himself! No one is an exception! Your relationship, let me guess, if I'm not wrong, you two should be Lin Jinghong's two daughters. Lin Jinghong's plan is quite good, so you two shouldn't be too bad either! Ah! Let me guess, intentionally taking a bath here to lure me over. What do you want to do?"

  She smiled faintly, giving me a thumbs up. "But what can we do? General Long Wu is in need of fresh water right now, and since you can't escape the island, you'll definitely come looking for it! I thought it would be fun to play around for a bit, but who knew that as soon as I made my move, I'd lose! What's your name? I really want to know! When did the Divine Dragon Army have someone like you?"

  "Hmph, miss, you don't need to know who I am. Just know what you should do now! I want the antidote for sea snake venom! And get me some clean gauze and antipyretics!"

  "What if I don't agree?" The woman with a gentle smile said.

  I burst out laughing, "You can certainly refuse! At worst, one Dragon Fifth General will die. Do you think Dragon Fury has been holding back from attacking Red Flame Island all this time? Don't be naive and think that the natural defenses of Red Flame Island are really that formidable! It's because he hasn't had a reason to attack yet! If you insist on giving him one, then he'll lead his Divine Dragon Army in a direct assault! Given his temperament, extreme anger and hatred, annihilating the island is entirely possible! What does the life of Dragon Fifth General amount to? Dying for him can make all of Red Flame Island's people accompany him in death! It's worth it!"

  "Oh? Is that so? Do you know why Long Nü Jie hasn't taken action all this time? You wouldn't be unaware that General Long Wu and he are from opposing factions, would you? Naivety has its limits! If we didn't have a 100% guarantee of success, how could we take action against General Long Wu?" The woman smiled calmly, with an air of serenity.

  I laughed, putting away the hairpin in my hand, and loudly said, "Alright! Since you have this feeling, let's make a bet! I bet he will send troops! I'll go kill General Long Wu right now! If your spies still have a way to send messages back, they should know that the Divine Dragon Army is no longer controlled by just one person - Long Nujiang! They've added a new position of Supervisor. The man who took it is from Fengguo, surname Leng, first name Shuai! He defeated Long Nujiang in a duel at the martial arts arena and was appointed as the General of Thunderbolt by the Crown Prince! Coincidentally, he's also a sworn brother with General Long Wu! You might not know that previously, he had proposed an extreme plan to invade Divine Dragon Island. If it weren't for Long Nujiang stopping him, I believe he would have led his troops here already! With General Long Wu dead, do you think his friend will spare your Red Flame Island?" I said coldly.

  Her face changed slightly, she drew her sword and stabbed it straight at my throat. I retreated slightly, sprang up and leaped onto the rooftop, laughing loudly as I rushed towards Long Yunxia's location!

  All pirates, no matter how heroic, are ultimately after wealth. In the end, they are just thieves! As thieves, they will fear government soldiers. They were not afraid before because they had Long Nuyue's card in their hands. On the surface, they told us that they wanted tens of thousands of taels of silver from him, but everywhere they showed respect for him.

  If there wasn't a special relationship involved, Long Nuyue's behavior and their attitude would be too strange! I even suspect that the one who leaked our actions is Long Nuyue himself!

  For the pirate island, in this situation where friend and foe are clearly distinguished, Long Yunyao can only secretly protect. They said they had no strategy and couldn't attack for a long time! In such cases, they were all afraid of causing big trouble. So when they recognized Long Yunyao, they didn't kill him!

  Now I'm making a statement, to kill Long Yunya on their island, openly framing him. Once Long Yunya is dead, no matter how great Long Nuyaya's power is, he won't be able to keep Chiyan Island!

  The torches behind me are getting denser. They have two goals, first, to kill me! Second, to protect Long Yunya! It seems that the position has been reversed! I smiled faintly. With the antidote in their hands, things would be much simpler!

  After a few somersaults, I leaped into the thicket, but was surrounded by them!

  "Come on! Get him killed for me! Tonight, I've seen it all! The so-called Dragon God Army, would actually disregard the king's life for their own sake!" Lin Jinghong stood in front of everyone, his whole body trembling with rage. "So-called righteous people, would actually do such a cruel thing! Come on! Release the arrow!"

  With a wave of his hand, the people behind him all drew their bows and aimed at me. A hail of arrows shot towards me! I leapt into the air, caught one of the arrows in my hand, and used its momentum to propel myself downwards. Lin Xing's palm strike barely missed me, sending me tumbling to the ground!

  "Someone's coming! General Long Wu is in the woods! Everyone be careful! He wants to kill him!" he shouted loudly. Zhen then went to protect the frame!

  I wiped the bloodstain from my lip corner and laughed loudly, "I won't kill him, will he be able to live?! A person who can't fight, must also let him use up his last bit of value! Lest he falls into your hands, being tortured until he confesses! Suffering all kinds of torment!" I said this, then again went to kill him.

  Lin Jinghong's sword at his waist had already been sent to my face! I let out a cold snort, sidestepping to avoid it. His lips curled up in a cold smile, the sword tip slightly tilted, and the sword was already thrust into my shoulder! I gritted my teeth in a cold smile, retreating straight back.

  My mission is complete. I didn't manage to assassinate Long Yunya, but I let them see my determination to kill him. And even exposed his position to them! Even if I'm imprisoned, it's only temporary!

  "I will tell the Imperial Censor about today's events. You just wait for the Imperial Censor to come and avenge General Long Wu!" With that, he took off in a sprint!

  He jumped up from behind and shouted loudly, "I won't let your sinister plan succeed!"

  A faint smile played on his lips, did it?

  The ship leaped onto the dock, and I sped away. Lin Xinghong's will was more determined than I had imagined. He turned his head slightly, and dozens of ships rushed towards me. With a faint cold smile, he said loudly, "Old fox! We'll meet again! Next time we meet, it will be when Red Flame Island is destroyed! Within three days, the Supervising Army will definitely launch an attack! Haha!" I smiled as I secretly released my energy, and the ship shot off like an arrow leaving a bowstring. It flew rapidly westward! The cold sea breeze blew against my face, and I thought to myself, "Brother, within three days, I'll come to rescue you!"
