Chapter Forty-Three Unexpected

  Wang Pu really wanted to lift the black veil off their faces and take a look, if they were also good-looking, that would be the best of the best.

  "What are you staring at with such greedy eyes?" The slightly taller and more voluptuous female assassin on the left said in a low voice, "Be careful or I'll dig out your eyeballs."

  "I don't dare."

  Wang Pu hastily averted his gaze, looked at his nose and then at his heart, putting on an expression of an old monk in meditation.

  The female assassin used her cold sword to lift up Wang Kuo's chin, and in a low voice, she asked: "Now I'm asking you questions, you must answer truthfully. If you dare to lie, I'll cut off your tongue."

  "Absolutely," Wang Pu hastily said, "I will definitely answer truthfully."

  A good man doesn't take advantage of a situation, this time I'll pretend to be a porter and play with these two female assassins who have incredible figures, let's see who ends up playing the other to death.

  The female assassin asked: "I'm asking you, is Commander Wang Pu of Datong on this boat?"

  "Is Wang Pu here?" Wang Pu's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily nodded, "Yes, yes, on this boat."

  "On which deck?"

  "In the hold."

  "Nonsense!" The female assassin pressed the tip of her sword forward, and the cold blade was already against Wang Pu's throat, saying, "The bottom cabin is dark and damp, how can Wang Pu live there?"

  "Ah, the female hero doesn't know this." Wang Pu leaned back and raised his head with effort, fabricating a story, "Although I'm a general, I'm actually very afraid of death. He's afraid that there will be assassins to kill him, so he secretly lives in the lower cabin. The little man has delivered midnight snacks to him twice, so I know."

  "Does Wang Baozhen live in the lower hold?"

  "Really." Wang Pu thought to nod but didn't dare, pointing at the sword in the female assassin's hand, saying in a low voice, "Heroine, be careful with your sword. I'm just a porter, killing me wouldn't tarnish your precious sword?"

  "What does he look like?"

  "He is a big bearded man, short and stout, ugly and dark-skinned."

  "Mrs. Li, what's the point of wasting so many words with him?" Another female assassin suddenly said, "Since we've already asked which floor Wang Pu lives on, let's hurry up and kill this guy, the main task is urgent!"

  "He's just a servant, not an official soldier." The female assassin who spoke first suddenly sheathed her sword and said in a low voice, "Injustice has its mastermind and debts have their owners. This time we came to kill Wang Pu, can't harm innocent people."

  The female assassin had just finished speaking and turned the hilt of her sword heavily on Wang Pu's occipital bone, Wang Pu let out a light hum and fell straight down, and two female assassins flashed and floated out of the kitchen like ghosts.

  Not long after the two female assassins left, Wang Pu, who was lying on the ground, shook his head and got up. The female assassin's previous move was ruthless, but at the moment she struck, Wang Pu had slightly dodged to the side, so he didn't get hit in a vital spot. This was a life-saving secret technique that Wang Pu had honed from countless battles.

  However, this still hurts a lot. Wang Pu got up and rubbed the back of his head hard, secretly vowing to catch these two female assassins later and ride them like horses, using his large ears to slap their big buttocks fiercely, stripping off their clothes until blood handprints appeared on both of their buttocks!

  But for now, let's just hurry up and find someone to go.

  No matter what, he couldn't let these two female assassins get away. If there were always two female assassins thinking about taking his life at any moment, how could he live in the future? Wang Pu didn't even sleep soundly at night.

  ■■■

  Hong Niangzi and Bai Lianjing's master sneaked down to the bottom cabin without anyone noticing.

  The two of them searched every nook and cranny, but they didn't find a single man, let alone the "Wang Pu" with a big beard, short stature, dark and ugly. Instead, there were two young women tied up in the corner, and Hong Niangzi saw that these two women were quite pretty, so she thought angrily: These must be the virtuous women who were kidnapped by that dog official Wang Pu.

  "We've been cheated by that scoundrel!" Hong Niangzi exclaimed angrily. "Wang Pu never lived in the lower hold at all!"

  The White Lotus Sect Master also said: "It seems that fellow is not a partner at all!"

  "Haha, you two are right, I'm actually not a good husband."

  As the White Lotus leader's voice fell, a clear male voice suddenly rang out outside the cabin door. Immediately, dozens of government soldiers rushed in with a loud noise. The brightly burning torches illuminated the lower hold as bright as daybreak. Under the firelight, more than ten black muzzles of firearms were already aimed at Hong Niangzi and the White Lotus leader.

  When Hong Niangzi and Bai Lian Jiao Zhu saw clearly the man surrounded by a group of officials, they both exclaimed in surprise: "Is it you?"

  Wang Pu smiled slightly and said: "The two of you didn't expect it, but I am the Datong General Wang Pu you want to kill, heh heh."

  Hong Niangzi swung her sword and stabbed towards Wang Pu, shouting in a delicate voice: "I can still kill you now."

  "Look out!"

  Scarface took a step forward, and with a wave of his hand, two flying darts shot out, aiming at Red Maiden's throat and chest. Red Maiden barely managed to dodge back in time, using her sword to deflect the darts. The sound of "ding ding" echoed through the air as the darts were deflected, but the numbness spreading from her wrist made Red Maiden's heart skip a beat. This dog leg's martial arts skills might be second only to hers and White Lotus Sect Master's.

  "You two young ladies should think carefully, the guns in our brothers' hands are not for show." Wang Pu said with a light smile, "If you know what's good for you, just surrender quietly. I can assure you that nothing will happen to you, but if you really want to fight, then don't blame me for being ruthless and destroying everything, hehehe."

  Hong Niangzi and Bai Lian Jiao Zhu could hear that Wang Pu's words were not good intentions, the two really fell into this dog official's hands, they would also suffer like the two virtuous women in the cabin, enduring his humiliation and insult.

  "Don't even think about it!" The matchmaker's anger caused her to tremble with rage, and she shouted in a shrill voice, "Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off the hook, you corrupt official!"

  "Wait." Wang Pu said with a hint of lechery, "Two young ladies, so tender and beautiful, if you die like this, wouldn't it be a pity? How about this, I've just married a wife and haven't had time to take a concubine. If you two don't mind, why not become my concubines?"

  The servants behind Wang Pu burst out laughing loudly.

  The matchmaker's face turned red with anger and shame, and she shouted: "You this corrupt official... if you continue to spout such nonsense, I'll fight it out with you."

  "Big brother, I heard there are assassins here, where are they? Where are they?"

  At a stalemate, Li Zushu led a dozen or so men in a chaotic rush down the cabin stairs. As they entered, he accidentally knocked the torch out of Xiaogui's hand and onto the ground. The servant following behind Xiaogui hastily rushed forward to pick up the torch and stuttered: "Y-you... be careful, there's... gunpowder here, if it catches fire, it'll explode..."

  Wang Pu's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily looked around, indeed seeing a row of firecracker barrels neatly stacked along the bottom deck, from Wang Pu's side all the way to Hong Niangzi's side, with dozens of barrels! Almost at the same time, Hong Niangzi and Bai Lian Jiao Zhu also discovered that row of firecracker barrels.

  A figure flashed by, and Hong Niangzi had already arrived at the edge of the fire bucket.

  When Wang Pu realized something was wrong, Hong Niangzi had already quickly used her sword to stab a hole in the fire bucket, and the fire oil inside flowed out. Hong Niangzi then ignited a match and placed it near the bucket, threatening: "You dog official, tell your subordinates not to move, or else everyone will die together!"

  "Ah, no!" Wang Pu's face changed greatly, and he hastily waved his hand to stop him, saying "There are good words to say, let's just talk."

  Xiao Qi slapped a palm on the forehead of that Ding family member, scolding: "Ah Mu you wooden head, won't you die if you don't speak?!"

  Jia Ding A Mu rubbed his head and said discontentedly: "I... I how... what's wrong with me?"
