Chapter 370 Commanding the Fleet

Xiao Bing did not feel very well when he left the princess. In the Kokyo, Xiao Bing would rather have the princess hate him than forgive him. He had never expected that this girl would choose to side with him, and even ask him to take her hostage.

Xiao Bing was also a man with a heart. No matter how many flaws this princess had, he knew that she had been nice to him.

She was not perfect. She had no other advantages, except for her extremely pretty face and rich family. But if a man could be with her for a long time, he would know that she was never afraid of pursuing her true love.

Maybe it was partly because she had always been spoiled, so she was very straightforward when it came to doing anything.

Su Peiya had loved Xiao Bing very much before she died. She always supported him and followed him everywhere. But she never mentioned the word ‘love’, because she always hid her true feelings. Her love was deep and touching.

Though Su Xiaoxiao was as aloof as an iceberg, she was sensitive and always afraid of hurting others.

Liu Kexin was as innocent as a blank sheet. She was kind and not willing to hurt anyone. She would even hurt herself for others’ sake. Her love was great and as pure as a snow lotus, which just kept growing quietly, without drawing the attention of others.

Among all the people Xiao Bing knew, Yezi was the only one who was not afraid of love. From Xiao Bing’s first glance at her, he knew that she was like a caged bird that was relentlessly hitting the bars with its bleeding head.

But their love was not as crazy as that of Princess Nami’s. Xiao Bing was even not sure if it was love. But he knew that this girl would never hide her true feelings. As a girl of action, she always did what she thought was right. She would let him know her feelings, no matter if it was hate or love. She wanted him dead when she hated him, but she would do anything for him, when she realized that she was in love with him.

Most men would be driven insane by her beauty.

And they would also be moved by her love, no matter how apathetic they were.

Xiao Bing sighed and murmured to himself, “I’m sorry. You will find a good man. I hope you will stay like this forever.”

Xiao Bing put aside his thoughts, took out his phone and called a number. “What’s the situation now? Has he followed that guy?”

Xiao Bing was not unprepared. In fact, before Xiao Bing entered the Kokyo, he had asked ten of the men he rescued in the fighting pit to hide themselves. Xiao Bing had prepped himself, in case of unexpected circumstances. Xiao Bing sent for them because they were loyal. Though they were not very powerful, they had been on the verge of death many times, which made them as cunning as foxes and as vigilant as wolves.

It was impossible for them to stop Feng XIII. But they could track him. Feng XIII had to escape as far as possible after he got that sack. Otherwise, the men sent by the royal family would soon catch up with him. So most of his attention would be focused on these men, instead of the men sent by Xiao Bing.

“Master, I just saw a man running out from the Kokyo with a sack on his back. No. 3 and No. 4 followed him immediately. But the others kept well away from him, lest they be noticed.”

Since these men wished to abandon their former identities, their previous names were replaced by numbers. Xiao Bing agreed with it, after he realized their determination,

“Good.” Xiao Bing complimented him, “That’s perfect. Do you know which direction he was heading toward?”

“Number 3 said that he was heading toward the dock.”

“The dock…”

It seemed that Feng XIII wanted to escape by ship. Though this country was known for its marine industry, Xiao Bing deemed it would be hard for him to escape in the middle of the night. Why would he want to escape by ship?

Xiao Bing thought it would be best if Feng XIII took a deserted passage, which was less dangerous than any other options. Xiao Bing could not understand Feng XIII’s choice.

After he hung up, he called a taxi and headed toward the dock.

After the car arrived at the dock, Xiao Bing got off and noticed No. 3 and No. 4, who were hiding in a place nearby. He trotted towards them and asked, “Where is Feng XIII?”

Several boats could faintly be seen at the dock, including several warships lurking around. No. 3 pointed at the leading warship, “I saw him flying toward its deck…” His voice was thick with emotion.

“Warship?” Xiao Bing was confused for a moment. Then he cursed inwardly as comprehension sank in. It seemed that this Feng XIII was truly bold and shrewd. He knew that it would be difficult to escape by boat, so he secretly hired a warship.

Now there were two possibilities. One was that the men on the warship might have been bribed by him. But it was highly unlikely. Feng XIII was a powerful master, but soldiers were loyal to their commanders and government. It was treason if they chose to help Feng XIII escape.

Then it could only be the second: Feng XIII had sent his men to take over the ship. Feng XIII’s plan was very meticulous, so he must have given some thought to his getaway. This ship would be his cover to help him escape. He wondered where this man’s next stop was. But no matter where he was going, he had to be the boldest man on earth.

Xiao Bing nodded and looked at them, “Just stay in Jing Dong first. It will be inconvenient if I take you guys with me. Don’t make any trouble here and wait for my instructions.”

“As you wish, master.”

It was easy for Xiao Bing to sneak into the ship, considering his strength. He got on the ship discreetly, under the cover of moonlight. Then he knocked a soldier unconscious, dragged him to a place and swapped his clothes with that of the soldiers’. The poor guy was not armed with a pistol, a taser or even a phone. Then, Xiao Bing threw him into the sea after he was done.

Then, Xiao Bing walked forward with his head bent low. As he saw more and more soldiers, he found the atmosphere here was rather tense. On the second floor of the deck, he saw a group of men aiming at them with their guns.

Soon after, a white-haired man came to the second floor. He was in his thirties and was clad in a black suit and wearing leather gloves. He waved his hands and shouted, “Let’s get this ship moving!”

Then the ship started moving and left the bay, with several smaller ships trailing behind.

Then a troop approached the bank and the leader shouted, “We’re the border defense of Jingdong. The mariners’ drill has not begun yet. Our commander wants to know why you are leaving?”

Then a white-haired old man came out of the cabin. Though he was nearly 60, his figure was still tall and straight. The medal on his uniform heralded his high rank. Xiao Bing noticed that there was a fat man following him, and discreetly holding a gun.

The moment the soldiers saw this old man, they saluted him, “Commander Hatake!”

The old man nodded lightly, with a serious face. “Some countries near our borders are displaying abnormal behaviors. I need this ship to make them toe the line. As a major general, do I need to ask for your consent?”

Xiao Bing was shocked after he heard it. R country had a military rank system similar to that of the Cathaysian State, like grand general, lieutenant and major general.

Xiao Bing never expected that this Feng XIII was bold enough to coerce a major general. For God’s blood, he had offended the royal family and a general. Xiao Bing wondered why he was doing this.

Xiao Bing could not figure it out. But what was more important now was to take back the man with God’s Blood, and try to get out of this city. He could not control a fleet that was already under Feng XIII’s control. Maybe it was a good thing for him.

Now Xiao Bing needed to hide himself well. Though he was more powerful than Feng XIII, the injuries he sustained earlier were serious ones, which made it uncertain if he could still defeat Feng XIII. Besides, there were many other enemies. Since they did not know Xiao Bing was aboard, he decided to strike without informing them first.

He blamed it all on the old and cunning men in the Kokyo. They were all powerful masters. With Iza Kawatani, it could be compared with Buddhism and the Dragon Gate.

After he had made his decision, Xiao Bing felt more at ease, and began watching the whole crew in the darkness.
