Gan Ning smiled secretly in his heart. Although this woman was good at swimming, her martial arts skills were a bit lacking.
Thinking back to the time when he killed countless people underwater, it was the experience of those pirates and the fights for life and death that gave him the skills he has today.
He could even hide underwater for a whole day without eating or drinking to ambush his opponent. The struggle of this female barbarian was just a tickle.
Taking advantage of the other party's shock, Gan Ning pulled Shazali into his arms with a sudden tug.
Shazali's face changed drastically. She turned around subconsciously and flew forward quickly along the water, but her hands and feet were controlled by Gan Ning, so she only stirred up a flow of water.
The soft and slender wrists, the smooth and strong calves full of elasticity, the undulating curves of the delicate body in front of him, Gan Ning had no intention of appreciating them, he pulled hard and hugged the person around the waist.
Shazali twisted her legs like an eel, but Gan Ning held them both.
The other hand swung out and hit Gan Ning in the face, but Gan Ning grabbed it and wrapped it around him like an octopus.
Being hugged tightly by a stranger, Shazali felt shy and anxious. She had no time to breathe and could no longer bear it. She gulped down a big mouthful of water and immediately her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.
The person in his arms was surprisingly resilient. Although he had stopped struggling, Gan Ning did not dare to relax at all and carried him out of the water.
The setting sun shone on Shazali's face, her wheat-colored skin was smooth and translucent, her eyes were closed, her red lips were slightly open, and water was flowing from the corners of her mouth.
"The assassin has been caught, hurry... come quickly!" Gan Ning was a little out of breath, not sure if it was because of tiredness or his accelerated heartbeat.
Shazali was only unconscious for a short time and was awakened by the shouting. Seeing that she was still tightly hugged by the other party, she was shocked and angry. She gritted her teeth and glared, and actually hit the other party with her head.
Gan Ning dodged by tilting his head, and then ran headfirst into the other person's arms, screaming, "Let me go!"
"So you can speak Mandarin?!" Gan Ning was surprised.
"You... shameless!" Shazali gritted her teeth in anger. Is this the time to care about this
In shame and anger, he actually opened his mouth and bit the other person's ear.
Gan Ning was shocked and tried to dodge, but the opponent rushed over and bit him like a mad dog, screaming. At such a close distance, there was no way to avoid him.
He didn't dare to let go at this moment. If she escaped again, and he committed suicide, all his efforts would be wasted.
In a hurry, when the other party bit her, she suddenly turned her head and blocked Shazali's mouth with her mouth.
Shazali shuddered all over, and the two looked at each other. The air seemed to be still, and the surrounding area was surging with river waves and covered with setting sun.
Gan Ning's reaction was only instinctive. When he touched the cold and soft lips, he was a little stunned. Shazali's whole body became weak and she no longer had the strength to struggle.
Snap Snap—
At this moment, crisp applause rang out nearby.
The two of them separated suddenly as if they were electrocuted. Shazali buried her head in Gan Ning's arms, and Gan Ning almost let go.
Liu Qi had sailed closer to the scene without anyone noticing. He clapped his hands and laughed, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful..."
Shazali seemed to want to struggle, but her whole body was limp and weak, and she had no strength at all. Her body twisted restlessly, making Gan Ning blush.
"Quick, catch him!" Gan Ning took a deep breath, exerted force with his arms, and threw the person in his arms up.
Shazali screamed and fell towards the bow. Fortunately, Huang Zhong reacted quickly and rushed forward to catch her and then hugged her again.
Gan Ning opened his mouth slightly, suddenly feeling a little regretful. When he saw Huang Zhong immediately put him on the deck, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The soldiers immediately surrounded her, with swords and guns pointing at her all around. Shazali didn't dare to get up because her curves were too seductive. When she saw the soldiers' strange looks, she let out a low cry and turned around to lie down on the deck.
Liu Qi reached out and took off his cloak, then covered the graceful body with his hands, and then turned to Gan Ning and said, "This fish is a bit slippery. If General Gan doesn't come, no one else can catch it."
Gan Ning took a deep breath and followed the rope to the deck. A soldier had already come up and handed him a towel and clothes. After he washed himself, he changed into a bright red brocade robe.
Liu Qi ordered: "Bring this female assassin to my room. I will interrogate her alone."
"Yes, sir!" Several soldiers were about to step forward to arrest people.
"Get out of my way!" Gan Ning growled, walked over, picked up the female barbarian, and walked into the cabin.
Liu Qi was slightly startled, then he smiled knowingly, ordered the boat to start, and walked into the cabin with Huang Zhong.
At this time, Shamoke had been taken to the next room. This guy was very stubborn. Seeing that his companions had been killed, he only wanted to die and was unwilling to reveal any information. Liu Qi decided to start with this woman.
Gan Ning hesitated for a moment and was about to leave. Liu Qi pointed to the side next to Huang Zhong and said with a smile, "Xingba, sit down too!"
The female barbarian curled up in the corner, her cloak was soaked by water and could not hide her proud curves at all.
Liu Qi said: "This girl has been hiding in the river. She must have some strength. If it weren't for Xingba, she would still be in danger."
Gan Ning nodded and said, "You are indeed good at swimming, but your martial arts skills..."
"Hmph, if I have a water arrow, you're dead!" Before he could finish his words, the female barbarian spoke first.
"Water arrow?" Gan Ning sneered, "I used this thing ten years ago, and you dare to brag about it?"
Shazali was obviously still not convinced and said angrily: "Believe it or not, I will shoot you to death in the water!"
Gan Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's still uncertain who will shoot who!"
Liu Qi felt that the conversation was getting more and more strange, so he coughed and interrupted the two of them: "Shamoko was just captured, and he has confessed everything truthfully, and is ready to..."
"What? My eldest brother was arrested?" Shazali sat up suddenly, stared at the three people with wide eyes, and then shook her head and said, "Impossible, my eldest brother is invincible!"
"Brother?" Liu Qi was startled and said with a smile, "So, you are Shamoke's sister. What's your name?"
"My name is..." Shazali stopped abruptly: "You lied to me, my elder brother is the number one warrior, he can't be caught."
Liu Qi waved his hand, and Huang Zhong removed a piece of plank next to him. Shamoke was imprisoned in the next room and was sleeping. He had been making a lot of noise just now, and he was anxious about being captured, so he fainted due to anger.
"Brother—" the female barbarian shouted, and Huang Zhong covered it with the wooden board.
Liu Qi said: "Your elder brother just fainted, but he is prepared to take the blame for the assassination of this general alone. He will be beheaded after landing."
The woman said anxiously: "This is all a conspiracy of Cao's army. We have all been deceived..."
"Cao's army?" Gan Ning and Huang Zhong were surprised and looked at each other. They didn't expect that it was Cao Cao who was behind it.
Liu Qi sneered and said, "I had expected that this was done by Cao thief. He is far away in the Central Plains but has repeatedly instigated rebellions in Jingnan, first in Guiyang and now in the Wuxi tribes. He actually used such despicable means and is unworthy of being called a hero."
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "The barbarians must have been lured by Cao Cao. Since they dare to assassinate the general, we should kill them to serve as a warning to others."
"If we kill these two, it will fall right into Cao's trap!" Liu Qi looked at the female barbarian and said with a smile, "It's not difficult to save your brother. You just need to agree to one condition of mine!"
Shazali looked Liu Qi up and down, hesitated for a moment, bit her plump red lips, nodded and said, "No matter what the conditions are, I agree!"
