On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2042 Direct Fight

Scarface walked on gravel towards the water area behind the mountain, and every step revealed his uncontrollable anger.

When he saw the scene on the water clearly, he made a muffled sound in his throat, as if someone was strangling him.

Where the three large ships were supposed to be docked, there was now only a dark mass of charcoal floating on the water. The remaining wood was charred and curled, and not even a fragment that could reveal the pattern of the ship's planks could be found.

His whole body was shaking. He turned around and glanced at the men standing behind him. None of them dared to look him in the eye.

"Where's the boat?" Scarface's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with a rough and angry tone. "Can anyone tell me what's going on with this rubbish floating in the water?"

The short and fat subordinate in the front shrank his neck and said in a trembling voice, "Boss, we really don't know... Just now we were patrolling here when we heard a loud noise, like thunder. Looking back, we saw fire over there.

We tried to put out the fire, but it spread so quickly that the boat burned down as soon as we ran over. We didn't even see a soul!"

Scarface took a step forward, and the short, fat henchman took a half step back in fear. "Why do I keep you useless people? The ship is gone, and you said you didn't see it?"

Another tall and thin subordinate bravely spoke up: "Boss, we really didn't slack off. After that noise, the fire suddenly spread, and the wind was so strong that we couldn't even grab a bucket of water, and the boat ended up like this..."

Scarface pointed at the charcoal on the water, his chest heaving with anger. He had no place to vent his anger, so he kicked the stone next to him. He grimaced in pain, but felt even more aggrieved.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Liu Balang not far away from the corner of his eye, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Scarface's anger found an outlet the moment he saw him. He stretched out his arm and walked towards Liu Balang, reaching out to grab his collar: "Liu Balang! Is this you who did this? You've always disliked my boat, haven't you?"

Liu Balang was so scared that he hid backward, but before Scarface's hand could touch him, a hand suddenly reached out and placed it firmly on Scarface's wrist.

Scarface was stunned and turned around to see that it was Sun Qing.

"Boss," Sun Qing said in a steady voice, but his grip was so strong that Scarface struggled twice but couldn't get away. "My master and I have been with you the whole time. We were right under your noses when the ship caught fire. It's impossible that we were behind this. If you have anything to say, speak slowly and don't use force."

Scarface glared at Sun Qing, his expression darkening. "Whether I ask or not is it your business? Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you stop me?"

"I'm nothing," Sun Qing said, not letting go, his gaze not retreating even a bit. "You say I'm fine, but my master can't be wronged for nothing."

Scarface was completely enraged, and he swung his other hand and punched Sun Qing in the face.

He didn't expect that this punch could hurt Sun Qing. After all, in his eyes, Sun Qing was just a bodyguard. But he didn't expect that Sun Qing actually dodged sideways and avoided his fist. At the same time, he raised his elbow slightly and hit him in the ribs.

Scarface groaned and felt a numbness in his ribs. Only then did he realize that Sun Qing's skills were much better than he had imagined.

"You dare to fight back?" Scarface became even more furious, and his hand subconsciously reached for the knife at his waist. With a "swish", the knife was pulled out.

Liu Balang's heart suddenly tightened when he saw this. He rushed forward and stretched out his hand to stop Scarface's arm: "Boss, don't do it. We just don't want to hurt the relationship. We don't have any other intentions. Don't misunderstand!"

But at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Dare to fight the boss? You're tired of living! Brothers, go ahead and take him down for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several of Scarface's men rushed up immediately, some even drawing their daggers.

Seeing this, Sun Qing immediately let go of Scarface's wrist and took a step back, just in time to protect Liu Balang.

He drew the knife from his waist with his backhand. His movement was not fast but steady, and he met the man who was rushing in front.

The man raised a wooden stick and hit Sun Qing on the back. Sun Qing heard the sound of wind and dodged to the side. At the same time, he turned his wrist and chopped out with a knife.

With a "hiss" sound, the man's arm was cut and blood gushed out. He screamed in pain and the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

As soon as blood was seen, the situation became tense.

The other men also became furious and rushed towards Sun Qing regardless of the consequences.

Liu Balang hid behind Sun Qing, his face pale with fear. He shouted as he hid, "Stop fighting! We're all family. Let's talk it out!"

Sun Qing blocked the attacks around him while protecting Liu Balang as he retreated.

One of his men stabbed at Liu Balang with a dagger in his hand. Sun Qing was quick-witted and pulled Liu Balang behind him, while blocking with his own knife. With a crisp "clang" sound, the two knives collided and sparks flew.

Sun Qing used his wrist to push down the man's knife, and with his other hand he pushed the man, causing him to stagger back several steps.

On the hillside not far away, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were watching the melee here with great interest.

Yan Ruyu released the starling. The bird flapped its wings and landed on a protruding rock nearby. Its little eyes were wide open and its head turned from time to time. Once there was any movement, it would chirp twice to alert Yan Ruyu.

Huo Changhe looked at the chaotic scene below and whispered to Yan Ruyu, "There are so many people in the water stronghold. Will Sun Qing get hurt?"

Yan Ruyu raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, without a trace of worry in her eyes: "Don't worry, Wu Liang told me before that Sun Qing's skills are even more agile than his, and he will have no problem dealing with this situation.

Moreover, if you look closely at Scarface, you will find that he is not a completely tactless person.

What is Liu Balang's identity? If he really died here, Scarface, even if he is the head of the water stronghold, cannot bear the responsibility. "

Huo Changhe followed Yan Ruyu's gaze and looked down, and sure enough, he saw Scarface standing on the outskirts of the crowd. Although his expression was grim, he didn't really rush up to attack.

As he was speaking, the starling suddenly chirped twice.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked over and saw Scarface suddenly push aside the two men beside him and shout at the fighting crowd: "Stop it!"

The roar was so powerful that everyone below was stunned. The hands holding knives and sticks stopped in mid-air and no one dared to move.

Sun Qing also took the opportunity to put away his knife, still protecting Liu Balang, looking at the people around him vigilantly.

Scarface's eyes fell on Sun Qing, his eyes filled with anger and shock: "Who are you?"
