Chapter Thirty-Five Framed

  "Zhang Yihao, you still refuse to confess?" Xuhai Feng turned his head towards Zhang Yihao and smiled triumphantly.

  Zhang Yi and saw that his expected savior was so vulnerable, he scolded Chen Xinhongs incompetence in his heart, knowing that today it would be difficult to end well. He could only say: "General Xu, I indeed made a mistake and didnt know that man had anything to do with you. I will immediately hire famous doctors for him, and besides, my family has some wealth to show respect to the general, and I wont let the general down."

  He reluctantly agreed to treat Xu Haotian and promised him wealth, but he had already made up his mind that as long as he missed todays opportunity, he would relocate his family and then go all out against Xu Haifeng. With the strength and connections accumulated by the Zhang family over a hundred years, he didnt believe he couldnt handle a newly appointed general like Xu Haifeng. It must be known that in this world, sometimes its not just about relying on military power, money also plays a powerful role.

  "Hmm." Xu Haifeng coldly snorted: "Director Zhang, what are you talking about? This general cant seem to understand?"

  Zhang Yi and Xin Zhi knew that at this moment, they could not afford to be angry. He suppressed his anger and said: "This old man has lost his son in his later years, and for a time, he was not careful in his thoughts, and he had a foolish idea, and sent someone to harm your relatives and friends. Please forgive the general."

  "Huh?" Xu Haifeng feigned surprise and said, "So theres such a thing? How come I didnt know. However, General will never use his power for personal gain, and he wont make things difficult for you with this as an excuse."

  Zhang Yi and others cursed loudly in their hearts at the same time. You led a large group of people to forcefully break into Cangzhou City, isnt this using power for personal gain? Could it be that you are selfless and impartial? I have seen shameless people before, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as you.

  "Zhang Yihe, dont harbor any illusions. Quickly confess how you colluded with the Roman Empire, betrayed our secrets, and caused heavy casualties among our Han soldiers."

  This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a clear sky, blasting Zhang Yi and making him seem as if he had been struck by five thunders. He pointed at Xu Haifeng with his hand, trembling as he said: "You...youre slandering people."

  Xu Haifeng saw him change from his usual calm and composed self to being so furious, he felt a kind of inexplicable excitement in his heart. He laughed even more happily: "Spitting blood? Zhang Yuanwai, youd better think thrice before speaking, or Ill sue you for slander."

  Zhang Yi was so angry that he almost couldnt catch his breath, and he loudly panted a few times, saying: "General Xu, who is it thats spreading rumors and slandering others? Everyone knows in their hearts, and Mr. Zeng is right here, so please ask him to make a judgment."

  Zeng Zhihong was about to rebuke Xu Haifeng, but suddenly saw him smiling ambiguously at himself, and involuntarily paused for a moment. He felt that the smile on his face in front of him was full of mystery, making people feel cold. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said slowly: "Lord Xu, you say that Zhangs foreign affairs are secretly communicating with the enemy country, I dont know what evidence there is?"

  "What evidence?" Xu Haifeng asked in feigned surprise: "Dont my words count as evidence? Alright, since its Zeng Laoban who has spoken, Ill find the evidence to avoid being accused of framing someone."

  Seeing Xu Haifeng speak so confidently and easily, Zeng and Chen exchanged a glance, muttering to themselves, could it be that there really is no such thing.

  Xu Haifeng turned around and ordered loudly: "Qin Yong, have someone beat them one by one until someone confesses. I dont believe that so many people are all hard bones to chew on."

  Zeng Zhihong was taken aback and finally couldnt help but shout: "General Xu, what evidence are you looking for? This is simply extortion."

  Xu Haifeng gave him a cold glance and sneered, "Zeng sir, Ive already given you face by helping you find evidence. As for other matters, theres no need to trouble yourself."

  Zeng Zhihong was furious and shouted loudly: "General Xu, if you persist in your obstinacy and harm loyal officials, I will definitely impeach you to the Emperor."

  Xu Haifeng turned his head to look at him, his eyes getting colder and the killing intent in them growing stronger. The two followers brought by Zeng Zhihong immediately rushed out from behind him and blocked Zeng Zhihongs front, preventing Xu Haifeng from suddenly attacking.

  Watching their agile movements, Xu Haifeng immediately knew that he had met people from the Jianghu. He sized them up and asked: "Who are these two..."

  Zeng Zhihongs face was flushed with excitement as he introduced, "These two are my famous martial artists from Cangzhou City, the He brothers. I dont know if General Xu has heard of them."

  Xu Haifengs eyebrows rose, and the He brothers were top-notch masters in the Cangzhou area. Xu Haifeng had heard of their great names since he was young, but he didnt expect to meet them under such circumstances today. However, considering Xu Haifengs current power, these local high-level masters could no longer pose any threat to him.

  "Are you He brothers? Youre definitely going to stir up trouble this time?" Xǔ Hǎifēng asked.

  "We dont dare, everyone in the world takes care of their own affairs. As long as General Xu can rein in his horse, we brothers will absolutely not make things difficult for him." He Gaoda said with a fist bump. The two brothers had been following Zeng Zhihong all along and hadnt seen Andrews skills, otherwise they wouldnt have dared to show off.

  "Whats the point of giving face if youre not going to take it? Andrew, give me..." With a disdainful glance at them once again, a hint of mockery escaped from the corner of Xu Haifengs mouth, as if ridiculing their overestimation of themselves. Then, from his lips, two words slowly and carelessly slipped out: "Kill him."

  "Yes, sir." Andrew replied and walked towards the He brothers.

  Although the He brothers were well-prepared, they never expected Xu Haifeng to be so reckless and order someone killed on the spot. Their faces changed drastically, and they were fully alert, but they still didnt dare to take action first, fearing that they would be accused of attacking government soldiers.

  Andrew stepped forward and threw a punch at He Lao Da. He Lao Da sneered and countered with a palm strike. The two clashed, but He Lao Da immediately sensed something was off. Andrews punch seemed to be full of momentum, creating a whistling sound as it broke through the air, but upon impact, He Lao Da discovered that there was no strength behind it. Instead, he felt an unusual suction force emanating from Andrews fist. The He brothers were renowned for their skills and not ones to be underestimated. He Lao Da quickly lowered his center of gravity and halted his forward momentum. However, just as he was about to counterattack with full force, a powerful surge of internal energy burst forth from Andrews hand.

  He Lao Das face changed greatly, and he retreated three steps in a row, using all his strength to dissolve the opponents invading internal force. He Lao Er saw that things were not going well, and hastily came out with his hands, but he never expected that with just one move, his brother had already suffered an internal injury. This time He Lao Er came out with a different attitude than before, he didnt dare to be careless at all, his two palms fluttered like flying, and he put on a fully defensive posture. Andrews stormy attack was dissolved by him in a series of moves.

  Xu Haifeng grunted in dissatisfaction, and Atlanta and Oakley almost simultaneously took a step forward.

  Their movements seemed ordinary to outsiders, but Hé Lǎo èr was already secretly suffering. As soon as the two of them moved, Hé Lǎo èr immediately felt two icy killing intents locked onto him, and he didnt even need to look up to know that these two killing auras were emitted by the two people behind Andrew. Just by looking at the skillful moves they revealed, he knew he was absolutely no match for them. He regretted it deeply in his heart; if he had known earlier that General Xus camp had so many experts, even if they killed him and his brother, he wouldnt have dared to be their enemy.

  At this time, Andrew made a palm strike, and He Lao Ers strength was restrained by the two Atlanta people for more than half an instant. Without thinking, his body flashed, his arm blocked outward, and he blocked this palm outside. Suddenly, Andrews arm bent back without warning at the intersection of the two arms. In He Lao Ers brief stunned moment, Andrews fist had solidly smashed onto his chest.

  He Lao Er stumbled backward several steps, looking at his chest in disbelief. With a sense of unwillingness, he stared at Andrew, refusing to believe until the end that there was someone in this world who could ignore the existence of joints and rotate their arm freely. His last thought was: Could it be that this person had no bones?

  He Da had just finished catching his breath when he saw his only younger brother bleeding from all seven orifices, slowly falling to the ground. Looking at him, it was clear that he was 99% dead. He let out a loud shout and was about to rush forward to fight Andrew, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. When he looked down, he saw that there was a large hole in the middle of his chest, and all his strength was draining away with the gushing blood. With great effort, he raised his hand and pointed several times in the direction of Xu Haifeng, muttering a few words, but ultimately couldnt say anything. With a loud thud, he fell to the ground.

  Actually, with the combined strength of the He brothers, although they still couldnt defeat Andrew, they could at least hold on for a hundred or so moves. However, the two of them had been arrogant in Cangzhou for many years and He Lao Da underestimated Andrew, who struck him with an internal injury, breaking their combined momentum. Afterwards, Atlanta and Orlando voluntarily emitted killing intent to disturb the enemy, and He Lao Er was worried that they would launch a sneak attack, placing at least half of his attention on them. Unexpectedly, Andrew suddenly launched a surprise attack, catching him off guard, and he died unjustly. If he had known earlier that Andrew had such a powerful move, he definitely wouldnt have been deceived.

  The unexpected use of yoga by the Andrew brothers is most effective, and if one is on guard, its power is greatly reduced. Its also He Lao Ers bad luck that he was destined to suffer this calamity. As for who gave He Lao Da his final fatal blow, it was the divine archer Zhebie.

  From the He brothers emergence to their failure and death, it was only a matter of moments. The people present, except for Xu Haifengs side, all had greatly changed expressions. With the two brothers martial arts skills being unable to withstand even one blow, the Black Flag Army was able to make a name for itself in just a few short months, truly living up to its reputation.

  Zeng Zhihongs face was as colorful as it could be, and at this moment he finally experienced the profound meaning of changing in an instant. His eyes, looking towards Xu Haifeng, were filled with fear.
