102. The Battle on the Bridge
*Holy Blood Ring*
Bao-yu has been infiltrating the palace as a servant since three days ago. As an intruder with martial skills, he could skillfully gather information and read his area of operation. Using his needle science, Bao-yu can extract information from Princess Ling Mei's servant by hypnotizing her. Hence he knew the schedule of Princess Ling Mei painting in the Southern Garden in the morning.
Before the day of the kidnapping, Bao-yu sneaks into the Southern Garden and studies it. After making plans, he sent a message to his other two friends outside the palace.
Bao-yu's first friend is named Jia Li. He likes to carry a red umbrella whenever he comes out of the room. She always looks beautiful in light green hanfu clothes. He has a weapon of nails.
Bao-yu has already arranged for Jia Li to wait for him on the bridge over the moat of the southern part of the Capital City.
Bao-yu's second friend is named Qiongling. A large postured woman with a bun who always has five different types of skewers. Although the konde puncture is his main weapon, but the five konde puncture on his head he never used as a weapon. He has his own supply of konde stitches behind his black hanfu outfit.
In the plan, he is assigned to hide and don't rush out in case of a T-shirt in Bao-yu's abduction attempt.
On this morning, Bao-yu successfully incapacitates Princess Ling Mei and then kidnaps her. He had already thought of a way out to be able to leave by carrying the body of the princess. While being chased by Commander So Song, Bao-yu tries to hold on until he arrives at the bridge over the moat. There, Jia Li was already standing waiting in the shade of the red umbrella.
Bao-yu, Jia Li and Qionglin both serve in the Eastern Forest Group, a group believed to have been wiped out several years ago.
“The task of the three of you is to kidnap Princess Ling Mei to lure the Great Princess out of the nest!” order of the Eastern Forest Group Chairman Ushang La a few days ago.
Now south of the Capital City, over the bridge over the moat, Bao-yu and Jia Li have been besieged. Dozens of soldiers in black uniforms from the Southern Red Dragon Army had already formed a posse closing both ends of the bridge.
While Commander So Song was standing on a boat moored in the moat. He had just been made to fall into a boat when it was attacked by Jia Li. Commander So Song has no soldiers. All his soldiers fail to catch up to Bao-yu so must remain in the southern part of the palace.
“Give Her Royal Highness Princess Ling Mei and surrender!” commander So Song exclaimed as he looked up to Bao-yu who was carrying Princess Ling Mei's body.
“Hey, Commander So Song! This is my territory! I have orders here!” shouted someone suddenly with a loud thunderous voice. I don't know who's talking.
Taps!
Suddenly in the air flashed a body and landed on another boat moored under the small bridge. He was an older man than Commander So Song. His body was rather short, but stocky. He was wearing a black soldier uniform with black armor. His head was covered with a black cloth which on the forehead was a silver metal slab imprinted with an image. It had a pair of slightly wide eyes and a thick whisker that ran across. His weapon was a long black iron stick. He was named Ram Pok, Commander of the Southern Red Dragon.
Ram Pok is the officer in charge of the security of the Southern Capital. He is the one who was summoned using the drum-breaking cipher of the watchtower soldiers, while Commander So Song was chasing Bao-yu.
“Hahaha!” commander Ram Pok's Laughter to Commander So Song. Then he said mockingly, “It seems that inside the palace is too convenient for you to have to forage in the territory of people.”
“You know who that woman kidnapped?” commander So Song asked his fellow commanders, although he was higher than Ram Pok because he served in the palace.
“Who?” ask Commander Ram Pok.
“The one she kidnapped was Princess Ling Mei!” commander So Song.
“What?!” commander Ram Pok was shocked.
“If until Her Highness the Princess is injured in your territory, your head is at stake!” commander So Song said.
“Who dares risk your daughter's life?” bao-yu asks the besieging soldiers, as well as the two commanders on the boat. Just this time Bao-yu makes a sound.
With Princess Ling Mei's body hostage, the soldiers no one dared to act, moreover there was no command from Commander Ram Pok.
“I dare!” commander So Song shouted and then turned his foot on the boat's back. His body bounces high up the bridge.
Jia Li immediately responded to Commander So Song's movements. He let his umbrella rise into the air, while his body moved quickly sending a kick to Commander So Song.
Dak!
Commander So Song who targeted Bao-yu actually got an attack from Jia Li. He immediately deflected the woman's kick while she was still in her leap. Commander So Song's body was pushed some distance to the end of the bridge and stopped in front of a line of soldiers on the right side of the moat.
“Crazy! The power is huge!” hiss Commander So Song who found his hands feeling swollen, especially he was pushed far away.
Now, Bao-yu and Jia Li stand side by side. Bao-yu stands facing Commander So Song on the right side of the trench, while Jia Li stands facing the soldier line on the left side of the trench.
Rather than being alone below, Commander Ram Pok jumped up to the end of the bridge on the left side. He stood in front of his troops and faced Jia Li.
“What the fuck? Southern Red Dragon Commander face off against women!” commander Ram Pok shouted.
“If you feel its power, you won't be able to roar again, Ram Pok!” commander So Song shouted to remind his friend from the other end of the bridge.
“I want to feel its greatness! Hiaaat!” commander Ram Pok shouted.
Commander Ram Pok thrust the tip of his iron stick into Jia Li's body.
Taps!
Commander Ram Pok. The tip of his iron stick was restrained and captured with one palm of Jia Li's right hand. The stick's thrust was restrained, even pushing back. Commander Ram Pok hastily mobilized more manpower.
Push each other stick happens. Commander Ram Pok had to be surprised because Jia Li was standing leisurely without putting up the horses, but his thrust was strong. Commander Ram Pok must put up strong horses.
Jia Li's left hand released her umbrella soaring flying up into the air. Along with that, ....
Dak!
One leg Jia Li kicked the body of the stick from below. The tightness of the kick made the stick slip out of his second hand and splash high in the air. At that moment, Jia Li charged forward.
“Aaargg!” commander Ram Pok shouted the same thing.
In the middle, Jia Li and Commander Ram Pok meet each other on strike and agile at high speed with great power.
Duk!
The highlight of the attack, the two of them tighten each other's fists simultaneously. Jia Li's fine hand boxing welcomes Commander Ram Pok's big hand boxing.
“Akh!” raung Commander Ram Pok with his body bounced backwards and fell in front of his line of soldiers. His mouth was spitting out thick blood.
Jia Li was only a few steps away.
The match!
Commander Ram Pok's iron stick just fell on the bridge. Jia Li again caught the handle of her umbrella that floated down.
Commander Ram Pok felt the bones of his right arm crumble.
“It would be a shame if the Dragon Commander had to lose by a woman!” commander Ram Pok said as he woke up standing with a sharp look to Jia Li as his face smirked. It was as if he wanted to pounce on the beautiful woman and tear her apart.
Gee!
Commander Ram Pok set his right foot on the bridge floor. The energy sent out made the iron stick that lay flattened up into the air. Quick Commander Ram Pok jumps. His left hand grabbed the stick in midair then with one move.
“Aaarrgg!” raung Commander Ram Pok in the air like a wounded beast. His left hand instantly swung his tonkat from top to bottom. Jia Li's umbrella plus head were the target, no matter that it was the female.
“Hiaat!” At the same time, Commander So Song also makes a quick move to Bao-yu. His sword has been unsheathed which means ready to kill.
The two commanders attacked simultaneously with an attack that was not playful. (BH)
