Rear Admiral (Lower Half)

  The last remaining black-clad man's martial arts skills seemed particularly good, and under the siege of many Imperial Guards soldiers, he remained unscathed. Moreover, while jumping and dodging, he continuously killed seven or eight Imperial Guard officers and men. The meteor hammer in his hand was wielded with great force, making it impossible for others to get close. Just as he was about to break through the encirclement, the string of Parma's longbow cut through the night sky again. Yang Su saw a faint flash of light cutting through the night sky, and a clear, crisp sound entered everyone's ears. A goose feather arrow accurately shot off the iron chain of the meteor hammer and inserted itself into the black-clad man's brain. The black-clad man didn't even have time to let out a pained cry before he fell to the ground with a thud.

  Yang Shuangfeng looked up and saw a young general standing on the city wall, with the moonlight behind him, slowly lowering his Parma longbow, revealing a majestic and refreshing figure, he couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart.

  "Eagle Dan!" The Imperial Guards shouted in unison.

  Yang Shuang's heart skipped a beat, the young general was none other than Eagle Dan, the commander of the 1st Guards Division, known as the Snowy Night Grey Wolf Division. If they were a pack of wolves, then Eagle Dan was undoubtedly their leader.

  Erdan is not a Tang person, but a noble of the Winged True People from the Crimson Plateau. Due to his failure in the struggle for the throne, almost all of his family members were killed, and only he escaped, rescued by the current emperor who was still a prince at that time. From then on, he devoted himself to Tangchuan and followed the current emperor with utmost loyalty. It is said in the army that Erdan's archery skills are divine, and no one can match him except for General Jiangning. Today, I saw him, and indeed his reputation is not exaggerated.

  Under the gaze of the crowd, who looked at him as if he were a god, Eagle Dan slowly walked down from the city wall and took a deep look at Yang Shuang Feng. Yang Shuang Feng hastily stood up straight and saluted, and Eagle Dan also returned the salute with respect. Then, with some emotion, he said: "If the person standing in front of me was an army major general leading a rifle squad, I wouldn't be surprised - this is what he should have achieved. But I found that the one standing in front of me is actually a navy major general... and I really don't know how to describe my feelings."

  Yang Shuangfeng just casually fired two shots, almost all relying on feeling. Now thinking about it, it's indeed a bit magical. These ancient Norfolk rifles aren't modernized assault rifles, yet they also have such high accuracy, it's really unbelievable. Even the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle he made in his past life didn't have such good precision. Apart from feeling the magic of heaven, he really had nothing to say.

  Yang Shuangfeng heard that it was the same sharp voice that had just praised him, and replied solemnly: "Thank you for your compliment, Eagle Dan. In fact, I am still on land now. The navy cannot survive without the ocean, nor can it survive without land. Before entering the ocean, I was first a soldier on land."

  Ying Dan's expression was very pleasant, holding Yang Shuangfeng's hand warmly and saying: "Being able to know a naval lieutenant general with such a broad mind is truly my good fortune for three lifetimes, I haven't asked for your advice yet..."

  Yang Shuangfeng said calmly and humbly: "Under the Eagle Dan Pavilion, my name is Yang Shuangfeng, newly promoted to the rank of Junior General."

  "Eagle Dan said with some embarrassment, 'Please forgive my ignorance, which army division do you serve in? With a talent like yours, it must be a top-notch division.'"

  Yang Shuangfeng smiled and said: "I am not serving in any army corps, I want to go to Menes."

  Eagle Dan suddenly enlightened, immediately revealing a very complex expression, wanting to say something, but not saying it out loud. The strange look made Yang Suofeng remember even 40 years later, he wrote in his memoir: "......his (Eagle Dan) expression was like eating a stinky egg, and I was the second stinky egg..."

  The eagle hesitated for a long time before murmuring to himself in confusion: "Menis? Are you also going to Menis?"

  Yang Shuangfeng handed the Norfolk rifle back to the soldier, nodded firmly and said: "Yes, I am going to Menes to quell the riot there. This is an imperial decree given by His Majesty the Emperor. Look, this is the sacred edict of His Majesty."

  The eagle Dan did not receive the sacred decree of Yang Shuangfeng, but said with a complex expression: "Many people have gone to Minis, but... I wish you good luck." After hastily finishing speaking, he actually ignored Yang Shuangfeng and went downstairs, leaving Yang Shuangfeng standing there in a daze.

  Walking up to the black-clad man's body, General Eagle Dan seemed to furrow his brow, looked around, and appeared somewhat perplexed. However, he quickly regained his usual aloof expression. He briefly examined the corpse and said indifferently, "Report to the Nine Gates Commander, the assassins were all from the Sun God Sect of the Menis region. A total of thirteen have been beheaded."

  Soon, the menial workers began to clean up the blood flowing all over the ground. Eagle Dan returned to the city tower and gazed intently at the even more desolate streets. Under the pale moonlight, he stood quietly, his tall figure filling the eyes of the Imperial Guards with admiration and adoration. However, after about a cup of tea's time, his shadow disappeared.

  From then on, he never paid attention to Yang Shuangfeng again, making Yang Shuangfeng feel uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't say anything. In fact, he understood very well that to win others' respect, one must first achieve outstanding results. However, Eagle Dan seemed to have no hope for himself going back to Menis to quell the rebellion, despite being a native of Menis. It seems that the situation in Menis was indeed extremely severe. Whether his decision to return to Menis was right or wrong, he would definitely not go wrong by seizing every opportunity to accumulate his strength along the way.

  In this tense atmosphere, a large team of merchants came from afar, with more than 20 large horse-drawn carriages, loaded with all kinds of goods. The wheels were heavily pressed on the bluestone pavement, making a creaking sound, as if they could not bear the weight. There were also many people following, with two strong young men like bodyguards standing beside each carriage, and seven or eight horse-riding young men carrying weapons at the front. From their appearance, these people looked quite fierce, with cold eyes and calm faces, obviously all of them were seasoned veterans.

  The guards immediately became vigilant, with all their weapons pointing at them, as if they were about to open fire at any moment. However, the owner of this horse-drawn carriage seemed to be quite familiar with the guards, greeting the officers from afar and chatting with them in a friendly manner, quickly becoming acquainted. As the guards carefully inspected the carriage, she was also invited into the sentry post to rest.

  Yang Shuang saw the elegant boss from a distance, but didn't expect her to be such a beautiful woman. After taking an unintentional glance, he couldn't help but take another two looks.

  The woman's figure was quite tall and slender, with skin as white as snow, and a healthy glow. She wore a black fur coat that tightly wrapped her fit and plump body, under which were black stockings and small, delicate leather boots. Her long hair, like a waterfall of night, was tied up in a distinctive bun at the back of her head, revealing a slender neck as white as ivory. Due to the cold wind blowing on this deep night, a faint flush appeared on her cheeks, and she always had a shallow smile that seemed to be intoxicating. The night wind brought the unique fragrance of a mature woman, breaking through the defenses of all the men nearby, causing many people to fall into a daze as if they were drunk.

  Yang Shuang Feng didn't know how to appreciate women, but he instinctively knew that this beautiful woman was not simple. The fur coat on her body was of excellent quality and workmanship, with a subtle sheen in the dim light. Her small leather boots made no sound as she walked, clearly not ordinary goods. Of course, what was most important was the female bodyguard following behind her, deeply proving her extraordinary identity.

  Compared to the master, the female bodyguard seemed aloof and cold, with a beautiful face that no one dared to approach. Her hair had a hint of golden blonde, slightly curly, as if she was of mixed blood. Her body wasn't as curvy as the master's, but under the tight clothing, it still exuded an aura that made men's noses bleed. She was like the master's shadow, silently and quietly lurking in the dark, only her unintentionally released cold aura making people feel her presence.

  However, it was strange that Yang Shuang saw no weapons on her. Perhaps, her body was the most powerful weapon.

  "Respected General, this is Miss Yu Huan-yu, the owner of Donghai Hall, the largest trading group in Meini." The fruit lieutenant's combat ability was unknown, but his social skills were quite high, naturally and friendly pulling the two together. After introducing the two, he immediately left with a sense of propriety.

  "Hello." Yang Suofeng said politely, standing up. The woman's fragrance entered his heart, making him feel refreshed, but unfortunately, it also triggered a reaction in his nose, and he couldn't help but pinch his own nose. However, he still couldn't hold back and let out several sneezes. He really didn't know why he had this strange condition, where smelling the body fragrance of unfamiliar women would make him sneeze. What's worse was that when he was sneezing, the token of the Nanhai Lord in his arms accidentally fell to the ground, rolled around, and stopped at Yu Huanxian's feet.

  Yu Huanwan glanced at Yang Suofeng with a slightly awkward expression, calmly bent down, stretched out her hand wearing thin and delicate deerskin gloves, picked up the seal, looked at it, and blew away the dust on it with her cherry lips slightly open. She said lightly: "General, you are actually a lord, I'm so sorry for my ignorance, please forgive me."

  Yang Xun felt a great loss of face, but he couldn't hide it either. He could only mutter: "It's nothing..." A bit embarrassed, he took the seal and put it in his bosom, pressing it firmly to make sure it wouldn't fall out, before he could finally relax.
