    Default Book 21 Chapter 9 start

    Book 21 Chapter 9: Battle for Power

    The sky is still lighted when the ships docked at Gu City pier.

    A jubilant Fang Sheng is about to lead Xiang Shaolong into the city for some entertainment when Zhang Quan summoned: “Miss Feng needs the carriage. Prepare it now.”

    Xiang Shaolong was stunned: “Where is the carriage?”

    Zhang Quan is displeased: “Are your eyes only good for looking at butts? Can’t you see the carriage at the pier?”

    The words have barely left Xiang Shaolong’s mouth when he knew he is in for a scolding.

    The carriage may be transported in the other ship but it has already been driven down to the pier. Xiang Shaolong is overly anxious to escape and wasn’t watching his words.

    Fang Sheng secretly nudged him and Xiang Shaolong knowingly followed Fang Sheng down the gangplank, disembarking from the ship.

    He was in a state of confusion and out of a sudden; he was viciously pushed from behind. Before he could figure out what is happening, Xiang Shaolong lost his balance and fell forward, knocking heavily into Fang Sheng.

    Both men staggered and half roll, half fell down the gangplank onto solid ground. If not for the railings at the side of the gangplank, they could possibly fall into the river.

    Xiang Shaolong climbed back onto his feet while Fang Sheng is clutching his left with a contorted expression on his face. The pain is causing him to break into cold sweat.

    Loud laughter is heard from the ship.

    Gu Ming and the other chariot drivers were jeering and laughing at their misfortune. They were accompanied by a short but muscular strongman.

    Someone called out: “Shen Liang, I initially thought you are tall and well built, but today I finally realize you are just an empty vessel, a tool without a purpose. Just a small accidental bump from our Brother Wu Xun is good enough to cause you to turn topsy turvy. And I thought you are supposed to be an expert martial arts practitioner.”

    Xiang Shaolong recognised the speaker to be Fu Yan, one of Gu Ming’s key confederates. Concurrently, he committed the family warrior Wu Xun’s name to memory.

    Zhang Quan appeared at the stern of the ship. He bellowed to Gu Ming and his gang: “What is going on?”

    Gu Ming casually replied: “The two of them don’t even know how to disembark a ship, it is no issue of mine.”

    Following that, his group scampered down to the pier and fled into the distance.

    Zhang Quan furiously glimpsed at the mud ridden and disheveled Xiang Shaolong before cursing: “Useless fellow!” He turned around and disappeared.

    Xiang Shaolong is genuinely angry now. He silently helped Fang Sheng up. The poor Fang Sheng is groaning: “My leg! I think it is broken!”

    How Xiang Shaolong wished he could give chase after Gu Ming and his gang, killing every single one of them to appease his anger. He apologized: “I have caused you misfortune!”

    Fang Sheng bitterly smiled: “I guessed they want to injure you and prevent you from driving the carriage. Ai! Looks like our plans for tonight have to be cancelled!”

    By now, several other troupe workers have arrived at their position, assisting Xiang Shaolong to move Fang Sheng back on the ship.

    Upon reaching the deck, a female voice rang out: “What the he11 are you guys up to? How dare you block Miss Feng’s path?”

    Xiao Shaolong saw the danger and quickly lowered his head and bowed. At the same time, he moved Fang Sheng to the side.

    He stole a quick peep and saw a veiled Feng Fei standing right in front of him. Beside her is Little Ping’er who is stilled dressed up as a boy. They are escorted by four other maids and about a dozen family warriors. The courtesan is assessing Xiang Shaolong.

    Little Ping’er, who has apparently failed to recognise Xiang Shaolong, was incensed. “What has happened?” she demanded.

    Zhang Quan and another man appeared out of nowhere and before he could speak out, the handsome man beside him interjected: “It is just a small accident.” He continued to face Xiang Shaolong and berated: “You are the newcomer right? Useless bum! Shouldn’t you be going to your carriage now? Do you expect Head Mistress (Feng Fei) to wait for you instead?”

    Hearing his sarcastic scolding, implying that Zhang Quan is incompetent, Zhang Quan’s face darkened.

    At this moment, Feng Fei’s angelic voice sang out from beneath the veil: “Assistant Manager Sa!” Her voice carried some hints of disdain.

    Having accomplished his goal, a smug Sa Li kept quiet.

    Feng Fei shot a look at Xiang Shaolong and plainly ordered: “Be more careful next time. Send Fang Sheng back into the room before coming to the carriage.”

    Xiang Shaolong was extremely relieved that neither the Mistress nor her maid could pinpoint his real identity.

    Watching her descend down the gangplank and supported by her companions, Xiang Shaolong can only force out a miserable sigh.

    He can no longer slip off just like that.

    Moreover, he felt an obligation to take care of Fang Sheng until he has fully recovered.

    This is one of his life guiding principles.

    Unknowingly, it began snowing again.

    Reflected by the strong rays of the setting sun, the small flakes seemed to dance freely in the air before reluctantly landing on the ground, finishing a short but mesmerizing journey.


    Time seems to have slowed down and the land purified with every layer of snow.

    Xiang Shaolong directed the horses and began chauffeuring the beauty.

    Four family warriors are in front paving a way for the carriage to pass through. Another eight family warriors are following the carriage.

    Wei’s Assistant Commanding General Ao Xiang brought a dozen of his best soldiers and they flanked the carriage on both sides, showcasing the importance of Feng Fei’s stature in the eyes of all the political leaders.

    She is akin to a 21st Century Superstar Celebrity with popular hit songs, unlike the typical courtesan who prostitute herself under the guise of entertainment.

    Even without the burden of Fang Sheng, Xiang Shaolong will find it challenging to flee under the heavy escort.

    Escape is still conceivable but it will raise Ao Xiang’s suspicions.

    Fortunately, Ao Xiang regarded Xiang Shaolong as Feng Fei’s long serving carriage driver and did not have the slightest suspicion about him.

    Meanwhile, Xiang Shaolong has no idea where he is and is blindly driving in the direction of the family warriors ahead of him.

    With the hoofbeats sounding in the background, the carriage entourage eventually approached a snow-clad city without much incidents.

    Most of the shops are open for business and judging from the signboards, most of the businesses are involved in carpentry, sewing, fabrics and embroidery.

    Xiang Shaolong may not have any deep understanding of culture and based on his keen observation skills, he can tell that compared to all the cities he has been to, Gu City has a remarkably cultural and retro aura.

    In this instant, Ao Xiang rode towards the side of the carriage and lowered his head, striking a conversation with Feng Fei: “In the past, when Jing’s (annihilated state) Han Xuan Zi came to the State of Lu (annihilated state), he came across Chancellor Lu’s secret literature collection. He sighed: All of Zhou’s Literature is in Lu. Now that Miss (Feng Fei) is back here again, I am sure you must be feeling emotional.”

    Xiang Shaolong shuddered. So this was originally the State of Lu, which belongs to the State of Wei now.

    Even the great Confucius was born here. It is no wonder why this State has such a strong arts culture.

    Feng Fei sighed slowly and in a pained tone: “Yes. It is all because of this incident. If we, the citizens of Lu, are not overly stubborn and traditional, placing too much importance on the conservative ways, we may not be controlled first by Qi (State), then by Wu(State), followed by Yue. (Yue was eventually annihilated by Wei, explains Ji Yanran originally in Wei). Although we have the honour of being named: The Clan of Saints, we are eventually an annihilated State. General Ao is giving us too much credit.”

    Xiang Shaolong detected the melancholy in her voice and can feel his own emotions surging. Theoretically, Feng Fei is not a Song Princess but a Lu Princess. Nonetheless, Lu and Song are neighbouring States and she may be connected to both States.

    Ao Xiang’s flattery has backfired and after a few awkward exchanges, he resumed his riding position after noticing Feng Fei’s lack of interest in chatting with him.

    The entourage travelled along a winding path, deviating gradually from the main road. Consequently, they were headed towards a desolate area west of the City.

    Under the illumination of the lanterns, the flying snow and strong wind resembles a scene from never ending dream.

    Xiang Shaolong can comprehend the agony of the beauty behind him. When Xiao Pan eventually unites the States, Ao Xiang and everybody else will become citizens of annihilated States. Such a feeling is hard to fathom.

    The sunset is beautiful but it only lasts for a fleeting moment.

    This can be the autobiography of the Six States right now.

    The carriages drove through a sparse forest and halted near a mausoleum.

    Xiang Shaolong finally realized that Feng Fei is here to pay her respects to her ancestors.

    Feng Fei and everyone alighted from their carriages. Accompanied by Ao Xiang, they walked towards the mausoleum and disappeared behind the trees.

    Xiang Shaolong, the family warriors and the Wei soldiers stayed with the carriages. Momentarily, sounds of crying can be heard.

    Upon their return, Little Ping’er and the maids’ pretty eyes were all red and swollen. The exception was Feng Fei’s as she is hiding behind the veil.

    It was deep into the night when everyone boarded the ship.

    Dear all,

    Thanks for the support. I would like to just make my stand clear on a few things here.
    I seek your understanding.

    1) I am not a professional translator and just doing my bit for everyone. I am open to all feedback, positive or otherwise. Kindly post your feedback openly on this thread and I will react to it.

    2) I kinda realise that momentum is critical for me in translation (actually everything) so while I appreciate all the kind intentions to help out, I only ask to be uninterrupted. I am committed to finish this story and can safely guarantee 3 chapters every week. The only exception is Jean, or anyone else who can better my commitment.

    Thank you readers. You make my day too.

    Book 21 Chapter 9 -end

    It was deep into the night when everyone boarded the ship.

    Everyone including Gu Ming had gone into the city for a wild night of partying. Only an incensed Fang Sheng remained behind.

    Xiang Shaolong noticed that his left foot is bandaged clumsily with a few pieces of cloth. He enquired: “How is it?”

    Fang Sheng eyes reddened: “If not for my leg injury, I would have fought it out with them.”

    Xiang Shaolong has been trained in basic bone fixing skills and opened up the bandages. Feeling the leg bone structures, he heaved a sigh of relief: “It is simply a bone that has been displaced. Come! Bear with it for a while!”

    Before Fang Sheng yelled out in pain and his eyes sockets are swelled up with tears, Xiang Shaolong had swiftly fixed the joint dislocation.

    Fang Sheng tried taking a couple of steps and is amazed: “Brother Shen, this is miraculous!”

    Xiang Shaolong patted the chair beside him and smiled: “Please sit down, I have something to tell Brother Fang.”

    Fang Sheng’s mood has greatly improved for the better. Pleased, he sat down and invited: “Brother Shen please speak your mind!”

    Xiang Shaolong extracted the two gold ingots from his bosom. Placing them on his open palm, he presented them before Fang Sheng’s eyes.

    Feng Sheng’s eyes grew as big as saucers. He let out a loud gasp: “Heavens! This is pure gold.”

    Two simple gold ingots are more than sufficient for an ordinary man to live without worries for the rest of his life.

    Xiang Shaolong pressed the gold ingots into his hands and whispered: “They are yours now.”

    Fang Sheng hesitated for a while and shook his head: “How can I take Brother Shen’s gold?”

    Xiang Shaolong lied: “I have several more pieces of gold. They are bestowed to me when Prince Wuji knows that he will be sentenced to death soon. Brother Fang, please accept them and use the excuse of your broken leg to leave this malicious place, fulfilling your dream.”

    Holding the gold ingots tightly in his hands, Fang Sheng is curious: “Brother Shen is not lacking in wealth, why did you choose to lead the life of a carriage driver?”

    Xiang Shaolong continued his bluff: “Honestly speaking, I am making use of this job to leave Daliang (Wei capital). Ever since the death of Prince Wuji, no one dares to employ his ex family warriors like us. I am not going to live my life without making my mark somewhere. I am therefore heading to Qi to try my luck.”

    Fang Sheng is so touched he began to tear again: “I am beyond gratitude. With this two pieces of gold and my savings over the past two years, I can finally resign from Miss (Feng Fei) tomorrow.”

    After some thought, he added: “Why don’t we leave together? Sa Li is awfully narrow-minded and he will never let you off. Zhang Quan is only making use of you; even if you died fighting for him, he will not even feel the least bit of sadness.”

    Xiang Shaolong smiled: “After Brother Fang is gone, I will have no more reservations. Our fall will not be in vain.”

    Fang Sheng fell into a daze. In this instant, he felt like Xiang Shaolong is much more than who he truly is.

    Fang Sheng could not hold back his plans and right that evening, he approached Zhang Quan, asking to leave the troupe because of his leg injury.

    Zhang Quan showed no signs of asking him to stay on. On the pretext that he is resigning instead of troupe disbandment, he paid Fang Sheng a few miserable bronze coins and commanded him to leave the ship early next morning.

    An upset Fang Sheng confided in Xiang Shaolong about this issue. Originally, he can still be entitled to a generous dismissal fee for his years with the troupe. Needless to say, Zhang Quan has pocketed most of it. Ultimately, he is not overly concerned about this discrepancy because the two gold ingots are enough to satisfy all his needs.

    The next morning, Xiang Shaolong sent Fang Sheng off the ship. While he was hesitating to leave with him, Gu Ming and his gang happened to return to the ship. Mocking them again for their incompetence, Gu Ming and his gang boarded the ship.

    With Wei soldiers swarming all over the pier and Zhang Quan staring at them from the ship, Xiang Shaolong suppressed the urge to retaliate. He calmly bade farewell to Fang Sheng and returned to the ship.

    The ships began sailing.

    Xiang Shaolong can sense his fellow workers and drivers are shying from him as if he is carry a contagious disease. No one wants to converse with him and even Zhang Quan’s followers are treating him like trash. He was greatly humoured. Obtaining his breakfast, he hid in a corner of the ship’s stern and began eating.

    Inside his mind, he was churning ideas on how to create a big hoo ha, forcing Feng Fei to dismiss him. He can then swagger off to freedom without raising any suspicions.

    However, timing is critical to his plans. Ideally, it should happen before the next stop when the ships dock to replenish their food and water supplies. He can then leave the ship both mentally and physically.

    In the beginning, Xiang Shaolong was feeling guilty over snatching the original Shen Liang’s employment. Now, he felt that he was helping him to avoid a calamity instead.

    Gu Ming and his collaborators are likely to have been ordered by Sa Li to get rid of himself at all costs.

    That Sa Li is rather good looking and could be using this natural advantage to start a relationship with one of the more influential serving maids. With his increase in influence, he could be conspiring to take over Zhang Quan’s job.

    Lost in his thoughts, a small pair of shoes suddenly appeared before his eyes.

    Xiang Shaolong looked up in panic but his view is blocked by two huge and jutting breasts. In that second, he still has no idea who is this person in front of him. Taken aback, he got on his feet and found out the lady is actually Sister Ling, the attractive serving maid of Second Mistress Dong Shuzen.

    Stifling her laughter and after glancing twice at him, Sister Ling coldly hissed: “Are you the trouble maker Shen Liang?”

    Xiang Shaolong has already made up his mind to leave the ship and doesn’t bother to give her any leeway. Assuming a domineering stance, he joked back: “Sister Ling gives me too much credit. Without any supporters, how much trouble can I create?”

    Never in her wildest dreams would Sister Ling expect Xiang Shaolong to be so rebellious and talked back to her. Her expression changed colour instantaneously and she scolded: “How dare you! Do you know who you are speaking to?!”

    Folding his arms across his chest, Xiang Shaolong uttered to nobody in particular: “Every nation has its laws. Every household has its rules. However, some principles are ever encompassing. I am a lone ranger whereas other people are forming cliques and gangs. Sister Ling, why don’t you judge from your own conscience: Who has the potential to be the trouble maker around here?”

    Sister Ling is dumbfounded. During a debate, she is light years away from Xiang Shaolong who is used to complex court arguments. Her face turned red in anger, she stared at him for a before her arms went into akimbo position. She screeched: “Are you tired of your job?”

    Xiang Shaolong leisurely responded: “Isn’t this up to Manager Zhang or Miss Feng?”

    Sister Ling is often the one doing the scolding. Now that she has been put down badly by a lowly driver like Xiang Shaolong, she is as mad as a bull and stomped off.

    Xiang Shaolong watched as she stomped over to the other side where Gu Ming and his guys were and summoned Gu Mong into the ship’s cabin. Acknowledging that a good show is about to start, Xiang Shaolong smiled to himself. He turned to view the beautiful snow scenery on the both sides of the shore.

    He is certain that Sa Li has hooked up with the alluring serving maid Sister Ling. He may even enjoy the support of the Second-in-Command Dong Shuzen to openly challenge Zhang Quan’s authority.

    Just as he was pondering which route to travel back to Qin, someone tapped his shoulder.

    Xiang Shaolong turned his head and a family warrior entered his view. He is one of those who participated in escorting Feng Fei last night for her prayers.

    The family warrior commanded: “Master Zhang wants to see you!”

    Xiang Shaolong noticed that the family warrior dared not look at him straight into his eyes while talking. Easily predicting the situation, he smiled back: “May I know how do I address Brother?”

    The man answered: “I am Xu Ran. Come with me!”

    Xiang Shaolong can feel his adrenaline rushing and his limbs itching for some action. He followed Xu Ran into the cabins.

    Book 21 Chapter 10: A shattered dream

    Following Xu Ran, Xiang Shaolong stepped into the cabins and came to a door.

    Xu Ran stopped in his tracks and pushed the door inwards. He gestured: “Master Zhang is inside, you can go in on your own!”

    Surprisingly, there was no ambush along the corridors. Instead, melodious music can be heard from the upper decks. This is a brilliant situation to trap Xiang Shaolong. Even if he shouted for help, no one can hear him.

    Xiang Shaolong grinned and viciously used his own shoulder to smash into Xu Ran’s shoulder.

    Caught unaware, Xu Ran called out in shock and stumbled into the cabin.

    A black cloth bag swiftly clamped down and enveloped Xu Ran’s head and face. The bag was secured and Xu Ran was dragged deeper into the cabin. Gu Ming, Fu Yan, a few other drivers, Wu Xun and a few family warriors pounced upon Xu Ran, raining merciless, heavy blows on him.

    Xiang Shaolong slipped into the cabin and closed the door behind him. Xu Ran is already pitifully writhing on the floor like a freshly cooked shrimp.

    These men may be overly excited to carry out their task and did not notice that they were beating the wrong person. Xiang Shaolong and Xu Ran are dressed very differently and have different body builds as well.

    Gu Ming was the first to notice that the man standing at the cabin door is Xiang Shaolong and not Xu Ran. Flabbergasted, he pointed dumbly at Xiang Shaolong but no words can come out from his mouth.

    By now, everyone realized they have laid their hands on the wrong person.

    Xiang Shaolong shook his head slowly and sighed: “Do you know what is your mistake??”

    Xiang Shaolong dashed forward and came to the side of the short strongman, Wu Xun, in a flash. Using his momentum, he kneeled Wu Xun in his nether regions.

    Back in the 21st century, Xiang Shaolong is an expert when it comes to bar fights. He totally understood the principle: To capture a man, shoot his horse; to nab the thieves, capture the bandit king.

    Wu Xun is a strong, well-built and courageous man. Otherwise, he would not posses the strength to push Xiang Shaolong down the gangplank. Therefore, Xiang Shaolong chose to attack him first and attacked his most vulnerable spot as well.

    His speed is too incredible and Wu Xun did not have the slightest chance to defend himself.

    The next moment, Xiang Shaolong has already slipped in between the two family warriors. Using his two elbows, he strike both men heavily at the side of the rib cages.

    These close combat techniques are most applicable while fighting in tight and narrow spaces. It is hard for the opponents to predict his moves and he can easily use the opponents’ bodies to shield himself.

    Both family warriors cried out in pain and collapsed.

    By now, Xiang Shaolong has leapt to the front of Fu Yan. Avoiding a punch to his face, he grabbed Fu Yan’s neck with both hands and kneeled him twice below his abdomen.

    With another flying kick, he sent another driver soaring through the air. PIAK! The driver hit the ship’s wall.

    From the upper decks, the music became more lively and high pitched, as if it is cheering Xiang Shaolong.

    Out of a sudden, someone grabbed Xiang Shaolong from behind. Releasing Fu Yan and letting him kneel down to the ground, Xiang Shaolong used Judo and flipped the man behind him over his own head, aiming to slam him in the direction of the cabin window.

    BANG! The man’s spine hit the cabin window frame and the man rolled to the corner of the ship’s wall.

    Gu Ming and the other two drivers advanced towards Xiang Shaolong. Using hand-grabbing techniques, Xiang Shaolong had a grip on one of the driver’s wrist and kicked him twice in his abdomen. The driver bent over in pain.

    Tugging the driver with his enormous strength, he managed to cause the stumbling man to crash head on with the other driver. Both drivers collapsed into a tangled heap.

    Gu Ming is now facing Xiang Shaolong alone. The two family warriors had managed to get on their feet but were still in a daze.

    Gu Ming is mad with fury and anger is glimmering in his eyes. He drew out a dagger from his bosom and launched a piercing attack towards Xiang Shaolong’s chest.

    Xiang Shaolong faked a movement and avoided the thrust. Using his hand in a chopping attack, he ruthlessly strikes down on his wrist.

    Gu Ming’s dagger fell to the ground and he stumbled forward. Xiang Shaolong delivered a crushing punch to his back as he fell.

    This overbearing driver landed flat on his face and is a pathetic sight to behold.

    JIANG! JIANG! The two family warriors have regained their composure and their aggressive spirits have been ignited. Both drew out their swords.

    Bloodwave left its sheath as well and turned into a sword storm.

    Never in their wildest imagination did they expect Xiang Shaolong to be a godly swordsman. Among cries of panic, their long swords have long left their grasps and their wrists are bleeding.

    Xiang Shaolong sheathed his sword and pressed forward, attacking with his iron fists.

    Sounds of bones breaking and chilling screams followed. Three punches later, both men can no longer stand up.

    As Gu Ming struggled to get up, Xiang Shaolong pressed him against the ship’s wall and landed four heavy blows to his abdomen. Gu Ming vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and sat down with his back against the ship’s wall. His pain is indescribable.

    The cabin door swung open and was continued by Sister Ling’s shriek.

    Except for Xiang Shaolong, nobody else is able to stand up.

    Xiang Shaolong casually clapped his hands and joked: “How are you, Sister Ling? Aren’t you going to report me and get me fired?”

    Sister Ling’s exquisite face has long been drained of any colour and she is still unable to believe her own eyes. Her lips were shuddering and she is speechless at the same time.

    One of the family warriors managed to get on his knees but after puking a mouthful of blood, he fainted back onto the ground.

    With his piercing eyes shining a deathly aura, Xiang Shaolong advanced towards Sister Ling.

    Sister Ling screamed and fled the scene.

    Xiang Shaolong stretched his limbs and believed that it is time for him to leave this ship soon.
