Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 291: The Captor is Captured
Under Xinhai's command, of course all the people on Haizhi Island obeyed, but the same could not be said for the others.
For example, Nan Zhangsheng, this man who always seemed to have no taboos after the arrival of Inazuma, went straight to the front of the team with a nine-striped sara, as if he was not afraid of those arrows at all.
Wu Lang looked at the handsome young man with a look of surprise, wondering why he was acting like this at this critical moment.
Xinhai pursed her lips, and her silver teeth almost bit through her thin lips. As cunning as she was, she was a little panicked at this moment. She didn't know what this gentleman was planning to do, but she felt that it would not be a good thing.
As expected, Nan Zhangsheng held the shogunate general and shouted loudly: "Shogunate army, your general is in my hands, and there are more than a dozen prisoners. If you don't want to be stained with the blood of your own people, lay down your weapons immediately!"
His shouting was of some use. Although the bows and crossbows were not put down, they did not shoot either, which showed that they were obviously cautious.
"This trick really works!" Nan Zhangsheng grinned.
Su Ping rushed to his side and couldn't help but sigh, "At least tell me before you act. Don't be so rash all the time."
"It's okay. With you here, nothing serious will happen." Nan Zhangsheng didn't care and continued shouting, "Bakufu troops, you guys better think about it. This is your general. Can you bear to let her die here, or die under your arrows?"
It has to be said that Nan Zhangsheng's move did make the shogunate army cautious, but the current situation is not very good. The two sides are in a stalemate and are racing against time.
If one side intervenes first, the situation will change drastically, the balance will tilt and the winner will be determined.
Xin Hai stepped forward, looked at the young man in blue, and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Nan, for coming up with this brilliant plan. Let the soldiers take over the Nine Saras. Don't overwork yourself."
“It’s okay. I didn’t participate in the ambush this time. I can just help capture the hostage. It’s an experience I’ve never had before.” Nan Zhangsheng said, his wide sleeves of blue clothes fluttering in the wind like the sky.
pat!
No one noticed the sound, but Kujo Sara's eyes flashed. In an instant, she thought a lot and quickly made a decision. This was the decisiveness from the Tengu clan and the result of her personal experience on the battlefield.
Kujo Sara turned around, stretched out his long and strong arms, put one hand around Nan Zhangsheng's chest, and used the other hand to pinch his neck, and retreated more than ten steps.
This change came so suddenly that no one had expected it. Therefore, Su Ping was a little slow in drawing his gun, and the moment he approached, it was too late.
"Stop it, or you'll only get his body!"
Kujo Sara's eyes were as sharp as torches and his words were resolute. He looked at the tip of the gun that was less than a foot away from him and launched a threat.
Anyone with a kind heart would hesitate to use this method no matter who it was used on. Moreover, the person who was arrested was Su Ping's long-time friend and his only "fellow villager" in the world.
Su Ping stopped, and the tip of the gun did not move forward. One could only see his nervousness. Under his anxious eyes, a thought flashed through his mind, and then he was left with determination.
"Let go of Mr. Nan!"
Wu Lang shouted. He looked nervous, afraid that something might happen to the young man in blue, so he drew his bow and aimed, but he didn't dare to pull to the full moon, for fear that he would miss.
Ying also rushed forward, holding a blunt sword, her beautiful eyes full of anxiety, but she did not dare to act rashly, because the young man in blue was really powerless.
In an instant, the situation between the two sides changed dramatically. This sudden change was so sudden that some people couldn't even react. What on earth was happening?
Kujo Sara slightly adjusted his position, using Nan Zhangsheng's figure to block himself, and shouted: "Release all the soldiers of my shogunate. As foreign aid, you don't need to collude with us!"
In her impression and based on what she had just seen and heard, this team of foreign aid should be doing the job for money, so they would prioritize saving their own lives during the battle and would not choose to support their employer at the expense of their companions.
"Release my shogunate's soldiers and withdraw from the battlefield. I won't hurt him!" she continued shouting, her voice sweeping across the entire field.
After he finished speaking, the rebels took no action, but the sailors of the Southern Cross fleet had already raised their swords and cut the ropes of a dozen prisoners, including Wan Ye, without hesitation.
The ropes fell to the ground with a snap, and the dozen or so prisoners quickly stood up and fled under the murderous gazes of the rebels, fleeing towards the reinforcements on both sides of the road.
Beidou looked in the direction where everyone was looking and said coldly, "I hope you keep your promise."
Then, Beidou ordered the sailors to leave, and then looked at Manye to ask for his opinion.
"Big sister, I want to stay for a while."
"It's up to you. Be careful."
Beidou didn't want to do this either, but she was worried about Nan Zhangsheng's safety. Although there should have been a better choice, she chose to do it.
This big sister of the Southern Cross, the uncrowned Dragon King, did not know whether she was so upset because her reverse scale was touched, or whether there were other unknown reasons, but in any case, she lost her tough demeanor.
The sailors retreated one after another, they all looked worried, but there was nothing they could do. It was safer to let the powerful Kaiyangxing stay there to contain the enemy.
As for them, it would be useless to stay, and it would affect their performance. So, under the leadership of Beidou, all the sailors retreated a hundred feet from here and looked at each other with their heads raised.
At the original place, Xinhai negotiated with Kujo Sara, but unfortunately it ended in failure. This was foreseeable. After all, how could the captive who had been reborn believe the kidnapper?
As for Nan Zhangsheng, the person involved, his eyes were dazed but now they were gradually focused. He looked at his own situation in surprise and started shouting.
“Fuck… Who tied this rope?! It fell to the ground as soon as I struggled. It’s not safe at all. It’s obviously not made by Liyue. It’s killing me! Ahhh…”
There was a lot of noise and Nan Zhangsheng roared loudly, and cursed the person who tied the rope viciously. His words were so vicious and cruel that the man felt a chill down his spine and was unable to speak out his pain.
Besides being nervous, everyone was also shocked by how thick-skinned this guy was. He only reacted now, and the things he paid attention to were so strange and unique.
Kujo Sara tightened his grip around his neck, his voice was as cold as ice, revealing a palpitating feeling, "You'd better not make a noise, or you'll die!"
Nan Zhangsheng obeyed on the surface, but in fact he was not afraid. He knew that once he died, everyone would come to kill him without any scruples. In addition, he trusted Su Ping, the disciple of the immortal family, very much, so he was not worried at all.
So, Nan Zhangsheng looked at the young man in yellow, his lips trembling, and he spoke with difficulty: "Brother, I may not be able to go back this time. Please help me keep those two star snails. They are very important to me. I brought them with me when I was traveling!"
Su Ping felt inexplicably depressed, but he nodded and said through gritted teeth: "Don't worry, if you really can't come back, I will take good care of it."
"That's good." Nan Zhangchang breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "With what you said, I can rest assured. You don't have to worry about my safety. I am the only bargaining chip she has now. Just attack and capture him in exchange for everyone's survival!"
Su Ping frowned, his face determined, and said, "Impossible!"
"Don't hesitate. If we continue like this, no one will survive. A saint once said: There is no greater kindness than to extend one's own kindness to others. I am only a small person. If I can save so many people, my life will be perfect. I have nothing else to ask for!"
Nan Zhangsheng was very sincere, as if he was the kind of person who could sacrifice himself for the greater good in his heart. He looked dignified and solemn, very different from how he looked when he was swearing just now, like two different people.
Of course Su Ping still refused and insisted on saving him. The two argued in front of the battlefield, and the topic they talked about was always about justice and fate, and they couldn't get around this topic.
Nan Zhangsheng's self-sacrifice and Su Ping's dedicated rescue moved all the resistance soldiers, even Wu Lang and Ying, so much that their eyes were filled with warmth and sadness.
"enough!"
A rebuke was heard from Kujo Sara. She had fallen silent since she heard the two star spirals rising. She hadn't reacted for a long time, but now she finally came to her senses and stopped the conversation between the two.
Then, Kujo Sara picked up the young man in blue, turned around and ran at such a fast speed that even if Goro shot an arrow, he would have to be one or two steps slower and would have had difficulty hitting him.
"retreat!"
Kujo Sara rushed back to the camp, and his first words were to sound the retreat. Not only because he was shocked, but also because reinforcements from Kaijima had arrived, and there were hundreds of them on the nearby coast.
At the moment, the shogunate army only has dozens of people, and there are these wounded prisoners. It is definitely not an advantageous situation to start a war. They must retreat without looking back.
Whoosh whoosh!
The crossbows that had been set up for a long time were shot out, and the arrows broke through the air, but due to the suddenness and haste, they did not cause any damage to the rebels and only served as a temporary deterrent.
The shogunate army fled, and the rebels and reinforcements naturally chased after them, but the former were lightly armed and outnumbered, and they even took advantage of the dangerous canyon to escape far away, eventually disappearing without a trace.
At the edge of the canyon, the rebels, whose movements were hindered, were in disgrace. Not only did they lose prisoners, but a learned researcher was also taken away, losing both their wife and their army.
For a moment, depression and anger intertwined in the hearts of the rebels. They looked at the other side of the river with fierce eyes, wishing they could cross over and kill the enemy in one fell swoop.
They also felt a little resentful towards the Southern Cross Fleet and others, but then they thought that they were the ones who were taken hostage, so there was nothing wrong with doing so. However, not everyone is so sensible.
Most people would not think about these things and would only care about what is in front of them. If they were led by someone with ulterior motives, some people would not care about Nan Zhangsheng's life or death. They thought that it didn't matter if they couldn't find him, and they didn't need him to study the rice seedlings.
The moment these remarks were made, Goro and Manye jointly resisted them, and their negative impact was finally eliminated without any fallout.
Paimon looked at the tense situation and felt a little scared. He wanted to look for someone he knew, but in the end he found that one person was missing.
"Where's Su Ping?"
At this time, Su Ping was already on the other side of the canyon. No one had noticed his trace. He had a sneer on his face. He remembered the few people in the resistance army who were obviously leading the wind direction.
When this matter is over, he will settle the accounts one by one, not to restore a clear and bright sea island, but just to vent his anger and seek justice for his friend who has an extraordinary temper.
