E Lai Reborn, Dian Wei Revived

In Daiyu's room, the women watched through the windows for a long time, seeing the situation take a sharp turn for the worse. The salt smugglers all looked like fierce devils, more like bandits than anything else, and they panicked again.

Xueyan, terrified, clutched her collar and chirped like a quail, "What do we do? What do we do? Those thieves are going to storm the ship!"

But who there could give her an answer?

Zijuan was also in a panic, but a figure suddenly flashed in her mind. As if grasping at a lifeline, she exclaimed, "That's right, what about Sun Shaozong? He might know how to deal with these thieves!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes focused on Ruan Rong.

Ruan Rong couldn't help but secretly lament. Normally, she would naturally believe in Sun Shaozong's abilities—but she had accidentally severely injured Sun Shaozong's 'vital spot' just now. She didn't know how much he had recovered, so how could she bear to let her beloved go into battle injured?

However, this reason was really hard to say.

Therefore, she stammered a few times in a flustered manner, which, in the eyes of the women, was full of guilt.

Although Zijuan and Xueyan were disappointed, they wouldn't say anything out of line due to their status.

However, Daiyu thought of how Sister Ruan had been praising Sun Shaozong these days, making him out to be one in a million, even overshadowing her own Brother Bao. Who knew that when they encountered the real thing, that Sun fellow was nowhere to be seen.

She couldn't help but blurt out, "Sister usually praises him as if he were the reincarnation of Overlord Xiang Yu, but I didn't expect him to be all show and no substance! I think Sister should think twice, and don't ruin your…"

Before she could say the word 'life', she saw another change on the deck!

The wealthy servants who had fled into the cabin came crawling out again, followed by a large wooden pole, like a supporting pillar, 'darting' out of the cabin and heading straight for the bow of the ship!

Only when the large wooden pole extended more than four meters did they see a burly man, as strong as a bear, hugging the pole. Who else could it be but Sun Shaozong?!

It turned out that Sun Shaozong had slightly suppressed the pain in his balls, and when he heard the commotion outside, he asked Feng Xin to go to the deck to investigate the situation.

When he heard that five ships of salt smugglers had surrounded the passenger ship and were threatening to throw everyone into the water, how could Sun Shaozong sit still?

Without thinking, he went to the stern of the ship, picked up the large oar that took six people to move, and endured the pain in his crotch to rush out.

At this time, the usual simple and honest look on his face was gone. His forehead was bulging with veins, his eyebrows were twisted in a ferocious manner, and he held a seven-meter-long, three-hundred-plus-pound oar in his hand, making him look like a demon descending to earth!

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

After rushing out of the cabin, Sun Shaozong let out a roar, his voice like thunder and lightning, his sound like a great bell, echoing continuously along the riverbanks, causing everyone on the ship's ears to buzz!

The women on the second floor only saw a back view, and they were already stunned. How dare those wealthy servants on the deck block his path?

They retreated to the sides as if the tide had receded. If it weren't for the railings, some of them might have fallen into the river in their panic.

Only Jia Yucun still had some calculations in mind, and hurriedly instructed, "Brother Sun, be sure not to hurt anyone!"

Sun Shaozong paused slightly upon hearing this, and then pounced towards the bow of the ship like a wolf or tiger.

The Jia family could dodge, but how could the salt smugglers who had just jumped onto the bow of the ship dodge?

"We have more people, what are we afraid of?!"

"That's right, everyone, let's go together!"

"This guy might just be a silver spearhead!"

Seeing that the gangplank was crowded with people, and there was no way to retreat, the salt smugglers could only shout and yell, each holding their knives and guns, trying to rely on their numbers to win.

But the reason why Sun Shaozong first sought out this large oar was to be able to fight against a hundred enemies with one, so how could he care about the dozen or so people in front of him?

He saw Sun Shaozong shake the large oar in his hand, sweeping it left and right like a broom. The half-meter-wide oar tail was neither too high nor too low, precisely hitting the salt smugglers' waists, making it impossible for them to dodge or jump over. Helpless, they had to use their weapons to block it.

However, as soon as they brought their weapons close to the oar, they felt an overwhelming force surge forth. Not only could they not hold onto their weapons, but they were also swept into the river like dumplings.

Sun Shaozong, taking advantage of the situation, pressed forward relentlessly. Holding the large oar, he rushed to the bow of the boat and swept again, driving all the salt smugglers who hadn't had time to retreat from the gangplank into the river.

Then, he inserted the large oar under one of the gangplanks, and with a sudden burst of force, he lifted the five-meter-long thick wooden plank into the air like a piece of paper, smashing it down onto the top cabin of the salt boat with a loud crash!

This earth-shattering lift caused the salt smugglers on the opposite five boats to turn pale with fright. They truly thought they had encountered E Lai reborn or Dian Wei resurrected, and they couldn't muster any more thoughts of opposing him!

Sun Shaozong stood majestically at the bow of the boat, extending his arm and pointing forward. The large oar almost poked the salt smuggler in the face, scaring him so much that he knelt on the ground with a thud, shouting wildly about gods and ancestors.

Sun Shaozong ignored him, only slightly adjusting his position, aiming the oar shaft at the middle-aged fat man in the lead, and sneered, "Was it you who said just now that you wanted to drive everyone on our boat into the water?"

The fat man was so frightened that the fat on his body trembled wildly. If he wasn't being supported, he would probably have collapsed on the ground.

So panicked, he naturally couldn't care about any taboos anymore, and hurriedly shouted in a shrill voice, "I am a steward from Prince Zhongshun's residence. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, the Prince will definitely not spare you!"

As soon as the words 'Prince Zhongshun' came out, Sun Shaozong felt the air behind him suddenly sink, startling even Jia Lian into taking a cold breath.

It turned out that this 'Prince Zhongshun' was born of the same mother as the Emperor. Relying on a closer relationship than others, he acted in the most perverse and tyrannical manner. Not to mention a mere Rongguo Mansion, even if the Four Princes and Eight Dukes joined forces, they might not be able to suppress him.

With him backing them, it was no wonder the salt smugglers dared to transport smuggled salt so openly.

The fat man, seeing the fear on everyone's faces after he revealed his background, became emboldened again.

So he puffed out his chest and shouted, "That fellow, no matter how brave you are, you won't get any good if you offend my Prince! I advise you to obediently surrender and follow me to the Prince to await his disposal. Maybe the Prince will cherish you as a hero, not only spare you from death, but also give you a great fortune!"

It turned out that this fat man, seeing Sun Shaozong's extraordinary bravery, had the intention of recruiting him.

He thought to himself that if he could help the Prince recruit such a fierce general, not to mention the loss of a boat of smuggled salt, even if it all went down the drain, he might still be able to redeem himself.

Don't mention it,

There really was someone who was tempted!

It's just that the one who was tempted wasn't Sun Shaozong, but Jia Lian.

He figured that if he could use Sun Shaozong to get through this calamity, it would be the best thing possible, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward, ready to persuade Sun Shaozong to obediently submit.

Who knew that at this moment, Sun Shaozong snorted, "So what if it's Prince Zhongshun? Can he be greater than the current Emperor?!"

Saying that, he turned and pointed to Daiyu's room on the second floor, and sneered, "The beloved daughter of Lin Ruhai, the Salt Surveillance Censor, is currently on this boat—Lord Lin's bones are not yet cold, and Miss Lin is in deep mourning, yet she is being humiliated by a group of private salt traffickers! Tell me, if this matter reaches the Emperor's ears, how will the Emperor deal with it?"

This time, it was the fat steward's turn to turn pale.
