”Where is Mr. Tang?”

After the initial shock, Nan Batian immediately asked about the most concerning issue, ”Where is my strategist, Tang Ziyue?”

Just as he finished asking, a series of footsteps echoed from outside.

”Gang Leader, Gang Leader~”

Upon hearing the footsteps, Nan Batian was startled and quickly signaled the first underling to open the door. At that moment, an underling, panting heavily, ran back and said, ”Gang Leader, Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang has been brought back!”

”Where is he?”

Nan Batian asked, listening to this, the underling said, ”He was brought back by ox cart, just outside. You should go have a look.”

”Ox cart, I’ll go see.”

Nan Batian said and rushed out, then saw an ox cart pulled up at the outer courtyard of the Fishing Guild Headquarters. Standing next to it was a man, Chen Xiaohu, the first major general under Chen Jie’s command.

Xiao Hu greeted Nan Batian with a fist and palm salute, ”Subordinate Chen Xiaohu greets the Gang Leader!”

At this moment, Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue lying on the ox cart and said, ”What, what happened?”

Xiao Hu immediately replied, ”Reporting to the Gang Leader, last night while we were executing a mission, we were attacked by Liu Laoguai. Mr. Tang bravely took the lead and fought Liu Laoguai alone. However, outnumbered, in the end...”

”Ziyue is dead!!”

Nan Batian’s eyes widened suddenly, and Xiao Hu said, ”No, not dead.”

”Ah?”

Upon hearing this, not just Nan Batian, but also all the servants around them looked up, thinking what is going on? Judging from your tone and those two sentences, it sounded like an obituary, yet he’s not dead? That’s illogical!

At this time, Nan Batian frowned at Xiao Hu, who said, ”Ah, my apology for not clarifying. He’s not dead, just knocked unconscious, probably will wake up soon.”

”Our Hall Master was worried you’d be anxious, so he sent me to inform the Gang Leader.”

After hearing this, Nan Batian was stunned and looked at Xiao Hu, ”Where is Chen Jiusi? Why didn’t he come himself and sent you instead?”

Xiao Hu immediately replied with a salute, ”Reporting to the Gang Leader, our Hall Master is severely injured and has been carried back to his residence for treatment, thus unable to report to the Gang Leader, so he specially dispatched me to the Gang Leader.”

”Heh, severely injured? But I heard that your Hall Master walked into Mianshui City, and he walked side by side with Liu Laoguai into the city, how come he was severely injured upon entering the city?”

Xiao Hu replied with a salute, ”Gang Leader, the enemy is extremely vicious. They even poisoned their weapons. Our Hall Master was poisoned on his return.”

”As for what you said about walking side by side and laughing with Liu Laoguai, that was completely to confuse Liu Laoguai. After all, it took a great effort just to bring Mr. Tang back safely. If our Hall Master hadn’t feigned alliance with Liu Laoguai, Mr. Tang might have already been killed by him!”

”Our Hall Master did this out of compromise; otherwise, who would want to joke with Liu Laoguai and be misunderstood by the gang members and the Gang Leader? Our Hall Master was entirely compromising, please understand!”

Xiao Hu became much more slick over the past half-year.

Listening, Nan Batian’s expression was indecipherable as he said, ”Oh, then I misunderstood your Hall Master.”

”Absolutely a misunderstanding.”

Xiao Hu said, and Nan Batian said, ”Alright, I am aware of today’s events. Does your Hall Master have anything else to say?”

At that, Xiao Hu saluted and said, ”Gang Leader, our Hall Master asked me to convey a message to the Gang Leader.”

”What does he want to say?”

Nan Batian looked at Xiao Hu, ”Our Hall Master said, he has always been absolutely loyal to the Fishing Guild, with no second thoughts. Please rest assured, Gang Leader. However, if the Fishing Guild cannot tolerate Chen Jiusi, our Hall Master will not simply surrender without a fight.”

”What does he mean by that?”

Upon hearing this, Nan Batian frowned and angrily said, ”What does he mean? Is he warning me?”

Xiao Hu said, ”Dare not, our Hall Master said, once Mr. Tang awakens, you will understand. As for the rest, he will not say more. Our Hall Master will explain it clearly to Lord Darugachi.”

”What, he’s going to Lord Darugachi?”

Nan Batian frowned, and Xiao Hu said, ”Reporting to the Gang Leader, our Lord mentioned that some things should be made known to Lord Darugachi.”

”Farewell!”

After saying this, Xiao Hu saluted and then left.

Watching Xiao Hu’s retreating figure, Nan Batian’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. What does Chen Jiusi mean? Is he threatening me?

Nan Batian had a grim expression, yet he was helpless, unaware of what exactly had happened. Thinking, he looked at Tang Ziyue lying in the ox cart and said, ”Someone, help Mr. Tang up, bring him into the house, wake him up.”

”Yes.”

At Nan Batian’s command, immediately the underlings lifted Tang Ziyue from the ox cart.

After bringing him into the house and propping him up, Tang Ziyue remained unconscious. Several underlings looked at each other and said, ”The Gang Leader seemed to say to wake Mr. Tang up.”

”Yes.”

Thinking, several people together prompted Tang Ziyue, ”Mr. Tang, wake up, Mr. Tang, wake up...”

After shaking him for a long time without waking him, one of the underlings grabbed a cup of tea and said, ”Move aside, I’ll do it!”

After saying that, he immediately splashed the water onto Tang Ziyue’s face. Unfortunately, one of the underlings couldn’t dodge in time and suddenly cried out in pain, ”Dammit, hot water! Ah, it’s burning me!”

”Ah!”

The underlings were shocked and said, ”Now what do we do~”

While an underling was speaking, they heard Tang Ziyue gasp and open his eyes, ”Ah~ why does it hurt so much!”
