Chapter 245: The furious Huang Taiji and the empathetic Fan Wencheng
"Snapped!"
"Yue Tuo, tell me, why did you come back?"
"Why don't you die on Lingshan Island? Not only will you be embarrassed by coming back, but you want to piss me off to death?"
In a magnificent palace in Shengjing City, Liaodong, Huang Taiji's face turned red with anger and he almost fainted. He stood up and slapped Yuetuo hard in the face, knocking him several feet away on the spot!
Although he is fat, his cultivation level is not bad. He is one of the few top martial artists in the late fifth level among the Hou Jin clan.
In fact, among Nurhaci's dozens of children, more than half were evil geniuses, and the rest were all genius-level practitioners.
This is probably due to the mysterious destiny and the changes in destiny, which has led to the emergence of many evil geniuses among the Later Jin clan in the past few decades.
Yuetuo, who had just escaped from the southern coastal area with great difficulty, had made a dejected report earlier, which made all the core generals of the Later Jin clan, including Huang Taiji, who were present at the scene, including the flag owners, were extremely angry!
That was the first proper treasure ship fleet of the Later Jin clan so far!
The only top-grade treasure ship that served as the flagship, plus the two accompanying top-grade treasure ships, were filled with money and supplies of the Later Jin clan, amounting to at least 30% of all their wealth!
This not only cost all the money and supplies that were looted during the invasion of Ming Dynasty the year before, but also a lot of original capital!
So many treasures and supplies, including the treasure ship, were lost so easily?
Even the thousands of Later Jin navy soldiers led by Geng Zhongming and Geng Jingzhong never returned!
This was like a bolt from the blue, shocking all the generals present!
Everyone's mouth opened wide, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
Are you kidding? When did Yuetuo, who has always been smart and capable, become a fool who can't get anything done?
Just a small island off the coast of the Ming Dynasty made Yuetuo, who had never been defeated, flee back in disgrace with dozens of red-flag warriors like a desperate dog?
This is unbelievable!
Not only that, the most important thing is that Yue Tuo and his group went south to do business, and now half of them have returned, but things have gone wrong!
Not only were the three most precious treasure ships gone, but all the money and supplies on board were also gone!
Now, not only Huang Taiji wanted to kill Yuetuo immediately, but all the core generals of the Later Jin clan present at the scene also wanted to blow his head off immediately!
They, the Later Jin clan, are not very wealthy nowadays, but live in a rather difficult situation.
There was no way. They only knew how to shoot arrows with bows and kill people on horseback. They had no idea about agricultural production and couldn't even take care of the spiritual fields.
If there were not a large number of Han people in Liaodong, and if there were not millions of Han people who returned from the last invasion and looting, and were responsible for planting and breeding in Liaodong, they would not even have enough food to eat!
Can we rely solely on hunting monsters to solve the problem of food and training resources for nearly one million warriors and nearly ten million tribesmen?
Putting aside whether eating meat all day long and not eating grains would harm your body, do you think that the various large-scale monster forces entrenched in the Liaodong land and occupying most of the spiritual veins are vegetarians?
Once humans kill too much and it exceeds their tolerance, those demon kings will definitely launch bloody revenge without hesitation!
Even their own Later Jin clan did not dare to confront the enemy head-on, and heavy losses were inevitable.
"Yueto!"
"You said that the enemy only had one man and one eagle, but they were able to defeat your three forces. Are you kidding me?"
Aobai, the commander of Huang Taiji's personal guards, looked like a ferocious monster and shouted at Yuetuo, "You didn't even see the enemy, but you were beaten to pieces by a level 5 late golden eagle. You had no choice but to jump into the sea to survive?"
"Among our clan's spiritual birds, there is also a pair of Saker Falcons that are at the fifth-late stage of spiritual beasts, but are they that powerful?"
"Don't take advantage of my lack of experience. I have fought those two Saker Falcons before! In a head-on battle, I, Aobai, can definitely fight them to a draw, with no clear winner!"
"How could a golden eagle of the same realm as our tribe's spiritual bird, the Saker Falcon, be so powerful?"
Aobai was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the fifth-late stage spirit bird eagles. They were not as powerful as Yuetuo said.
If a thousand elite soldiers could form an army to help, any Qi Refining General at the early fifth level of martial arts would be able to fight against them, and his chances of winning would be quite high.
According to Yue Tuo, the three forces present at the time had a total of four masters of the fifth level of martial arts, and dozens of masters of the fourth level of martial arts. There were at least two thousand warriors and soldiers under their command.
So many warriors and soldiers couldn't even defeat a late level five golden eagle and were forced to jump into the sea and run away to save their lives. It sounds too outrageous!
"Aobai, let's not talk about whether my Yuetuo is a waste or not. Are those thousands of white foreign soldiers and the two or three thousand warriors of the Ye family all waste?"
Yuetuo was so angry that his face turned pale. He didn't want to be pointed at by his tribesmen and told, "Look, this is the useless Yuetuo!"
Once this situation occurs, it is better to commit suicide early to avoid embarrassment and being angered to death by yourself!
"The enemy's night attack was timed very precisely. He took advantage of the opportunity when most of our warriors and generals entered the Lingshan Island Fortress City for a banquet. Together with the big golden eagle, he launched a silent surprise attack and quickly killed all the soldiers left on the treasure ship at the big pier!"
"Then he deliberately made a big noise at the big dock and slaughtered the remaining warriors from the three forces, thus attracting masters like us to reinforce them."
"As a result, the big golden eagle took advantage of the cover of night and quickly launched a decapitation operation against us!"
"The white foreign commander, whose cultivation level was similar to mine, was caught off guard and killed instantly by the big golden eagle. Then, in a moment, all the white foreign masters of the Qi Refining Realm at the scene were killed!"
"Then the big golden eagle killed several Qi Refining Realm masters from the Fuqing Ye family, including the pirate leader Jia Shuisheng who occupied Lingshan Island. When it continued to kill Geng Zhongming and his son, they actually fled in the face of the enemy and jumped into the sea!"
"This led to the total collapse of our three-party alliance, and everyone rushed to jump into the sea to survive!" "At that time, there were only 60 Later Jin warriors around me. Without the support of the military killing formation, how could we be a match for the big golden eagle?"
"I have no choice but to flee with the remaining sixty warriors. Should I stay there and wait for death?"
Yue Tuo became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his words were full of helplessness.
It’s not that I didn’t work hard, but that the mysterious enemy who suddenly attacked was too cruel and vicious!
If there was any mistake in the enemy's plan, the result would be immediately reversed, and the ones fleeing for their lives would be the man and the eagle, not their own side.
"When did a strong man with a fifth-level late-stage golden eagle appear in the Ming Dynasty?"
Huang Taiji finally recovered his breath and regained his composure, muttering to himself, "Such a strong man actually dared to go alone and cause trouble for the alliance of three major forces. He is simply too bold!"
"With the presence of the Ye family, it is impossible for the officials, noble families, and wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty to not give face to Ye Xianggao and go looking for trouble with the Ye family."
"The enemy first attacked and killed the commander of the white foreign fleet. It was definitely not done by foreigners. And that golden eagle is obviously the top spiritual bird in our Eastern region."
"It is impossible that those wealthy merchants in the Ming Dynasty dared to openly oppose our Great Jin clan."
"Then the question is, are these two people and this eagle alone?"
"Since he is a lone ranger master, why does he have the courage to fight against three major forces in the world at the same time?"
"Fan Wencheng, your Fan family has spies all over the world. Have you heard that in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is a force that has a Level 5 late stage golden eagle spirit bird?"
He turned his gaze to Fan Wencheng, the illegitimate son of the Fan family, whom he valued very much, and asked coldly.
"Report to the Khan!"
After listening to what Yuetuo said, Fan Wencheng was so angry that he was shaking all over!
He had already guessed that this man and this eagle were the mysterious masters who had slaughtered all the people in the Fan family's Jiexiu old house without leaving a single one alive several months ago!
"Great Khan, I just received a secret report from my family last night. All the people in our Fan family's old house in Jiexiu were slaughtered by a giant golden eagle and a mysterious man two months ago!"
"Those guarding the old house at that time included the old patriarch Fan Ming, the elder of the clan Fan Li, and the chief steward Fan Maocai. All three of them were masters of the fifth level of martial arts!"
"Among them, the elder of the clan, Fan Li, is a great master who is in the middle fifth level of martial arts!"
"In our old house, there were even nearly ten spirit eagles in the Qi Refining Realm, but they were all slaughtered by that big eagle and the mysterious man!"
"There is no doubt that this man and this eagle are the ones who went to Jiaozhou Lingshan Island to cause trouble this time!"
"The enemy's fighting power is very formidable, and they are very good at seizing opportunities to take advantage of opportunities. It is not surprising that the leader of the Yuetuo Banner failed this time!"
"You know, the combined forces guarding our Fan family's old house at that time were not much weaker than the forces of the tripartite alliance this time, but they were still slaughtered by the other side, right?"
"We, the Fan family, have not yet been able to find out who the enemy is and where they come from."
"I've only heard that the fifth-stage spiritual beast, the golden eagle, has only appeared twice, and I haven't figured out its origins yet."
"Although our Fan family's old house in Jiexiu was massacred and looted, there are still more than 80% of our Fan family members left. In addition, we have spies throughout the Ming Dynasty, and they are following the instructions of several young masters to conduct a nationwide investigation."
"I think it won't take long before we can find out the true identities of this man and this eagle."
Now that he was bringing up old matters again, the sadness in his heart was even greater than that of Huang Taiji and Yuetuo!
"Fan Wencheng, your Fan family's old house in Jiexiu was also slaughtered by a giant golden eagle and a mysterious man?"
"No way? The defense of the Fan family's Jiexiu old house is even better than that of some of the thousand-year-old families in your Ming Dynasty."
"This... this man and this eagle, are they too bold?"
"It's not just that he's extremely audacious. This mysterious man has amazing calculations and he also controls an extremely powerful intelligence department! Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to travel a million miles in just three months and commit two shocking crimes in succession, and both of them were successful!"
"Fan Wencheng, I never expected that the two generations of your Fan family's patriarchs, Fan Ming and Fan Yongdou, are both gone. Please accept my condolences."...
As soon as Fan Wencheng finished his angry words, the place suddenly exploded. Everyone was shouting and saying all kinds of things.
The atmosphere at the scene was finally no longer so dull and became a little more lively.
