Chapter 295 Turbulent Situation
In the morning, the first ray of sunlight shines into the courtyard. Xiao Ran pushed the door open and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Big brother, third brother. Did you get up so early?"
Yang Fan yawned and smiled, "Let's get up early to move our muscles and bones. Let's go to the kitchen to find something to eat first. Second brother, go to the city to explore the news and be careful."
Xiao Ran nodded and walked to the teahouse in the city. Yang Fan and Xue Ling's eyes were yellow and covered with blood, and even dark circles came out, which was obviously caused by lack of sleep. It seems that they still didn't worry about themselves and stayed outside the door all night. Xiao Ran didn't break it and kept this feeling in his heart. Xiangji Restaurant is a famous pub nearby. Because of its unique aroma, it is difficult for outsiders to imitate it. It is said that the shopkeeper's father once brewed wine in the palace, and many repeat customers like to drink two glasses. Xiao Ran found an empty table and ordered a few small dishes to drink by himself.
"Brother Sun, aren't you running on the Yangtze River? When did you change your job to become a darts master? A man in blue asked.
The big man drank a large bowl of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "Daesn, it's not caused by the Taihu water bandits. Selling private goods on the waterway is to make money, and you have to take it with your life. The Qinglong Gang and Cao Gang each account for half of the Yangtze River waterway, one in charge of the upstream and the other in charge of the downstream, but they are at peace with each other. The twelve-ring docks suddenly inserted a bar, and the merchant ships in the past robbed them directly without paying the protection fee. No one gave them face. There are rules. It is customary to draw one hundred tolls. Even the Cao Gang is no more than three breaths. The rules of twelve serial docks are four draws every hundred, which has risen several times at once. It's okay to say that Li Bo will always make money in a short distance. If there are three big cards along the way from Shuzhong to Yuhang, some small cards should also be honored. It's good not to lose money except for the cost of chores.
Everyone also heard that there was such a thing in the south, which was quite fierce, and even the court was shocked. Now that I finally meet a person who knows the inside story, I naturally have to say more words and brag in front of my friends. The young man, dressed in wealth and carrying a bird cage, said, "Little two, give two jars of good wine to the strong man and record it on my account."
"Okay, the wine is coming. Guest, take your time."
"I heard that 30,000 sailors in the imperial court went to encircle and suppress the great defeat. Is there such a thing? Twelve serial docks are so powerful, do you dare to fight against the imperial court?"
"I think it's the grasshopper after autumn. It won't be long. I heard that the Xia family is ready to send troops. Can the eldest son of Xia Shuangtian, the god of war, be compared with a group of mob?"
The man laughed twice and said, "You don't understand. The twelve-ring docks take Taihu Lake as their nest. During this period, the islands are intertwined, and the reefs are dense, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if a good hand on the water enters it by mistake, he may be trapped to death. Which of the twelve village owners is not famous? Six relatives don't recognize Ximen Yu, but he is also a genius in the clan. In his early twenties, he reached the realm of great success. On the day of celebrating with wine in the clan, the blood-washed clan, from 80 grandmothers to two-year-old nephews! Then he absconded to the south and killed without any signs. Dongting Lake, which was chased by Shaolin Wudang and other chivalrous people, was lucky enough to dive and escape. I thought that I didn't dare to go out of the world again, but I didn't want to be taken under the command of the twelve serial docks.
"Sun-shooting arrow" Shen Shaoze is fascinated by the arrow. Rumor has it that it is from the "arrow god" Dugu Huazhen, but five different arrows were shot at a time. Because the beloved woman was forcibly robbed as a concubine by the eighth prince, she broke into the royal palace and killed her in anger. No one dared to fight against him. In the end, he was defeated by the wheel war and then rescued by a mysterious man. Do you know how many people he killed? 139!"
The man told the deeds of the two creditors vividly, and the listeners shouted happily. The man seemed to enjoy the feeling of being supported and knew that he had satisfied everyone's appetite. After eating a few mouthfuls of vegetables, he continued:
"If these two are both open-handed hands, it's easy to prevent. The "poison demon" ancient Fang, the owner of Liuzhai, even the people of the twelve serial docks did not want to provoke. In order to raise poisonous insects, he used his own body as a container and raised several highly poisonous things. He went to the cemetery and swamp to collect samples more often, and there was an unspeakable stench on his body. People who are cruel to themselves can't do anything. Do you know why the Tang sailors were defeated? A large part of the reason is that the ancient side secretly did it.
Xiao Ran didn't expect the 12 serial dock to be so powerful and listened attentively. The man wears the clothes of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, and the purple mark embroidered on his sleeve seems to be not low. He must also be a little leader on the waterway. These "inside stories" attracted many people to watch, and the man wanted to be proud. Suddenly whispered to:
"If you want to say that among the twelve masters of the village, the highest martial arts is Yu Wenmeng, the owner of the village. Legend has it that he has competed with Su Jingtao, a martial arts master, but no one knows the ending. The most ruthless thing to do is Yu Wenmu, the owner of the two villages. The most mysterious is indeed the "military division" of the three villages. No one knows his identity, and even knows his surname. But when it comes to his name, no one in the twelve serial docks admired him. A thousand gold is easy to get, a general is hard to find, and a good counselor can't be met, and more..."
The man's words suddenly stopped, and the wine glass in his right hand fell to the ground and broke. His face still remained smiling, and his head fell on the table. Yin Hong's blood slid down the corner of the table.
"It's fatal."
The people who were originally surrounded by were afraid of trouble and dispersed in the form of birds and beasts. Several people with a little courage still didn't believe the scene in front of them. One of them came forward to look for breath and had no vitality. Opening the hair along the blood mark, a blood hole the size of a bamboo stick in the temple is pouring blood out. So many people, no one even noticed when the murderer did it.
"Make way, get out of the way." Several catchers hurried with their gray hair. He turned over the body to check the wound, stained the blood with his fingers and put it in front of his nose. He touched the wound and frowned and said, "What a powerful internal power. It condenses the wine droplets into ice needles with cold and true air. One blow will kill, leaving neither murder weapon nor fingerprints. I don't know how to offend the master."
The disease comes from the mouth, and the disaster comes from the mouth. The people on the scene took a breath of cold air, and most of them suspected the twelve serial dock masters. Xiao Ran frowned and didn't want to be involved. Leave before the arrest is about to trouble you. The dead man sitting just now was not far away. Xiao Ran just felt murderous and couldn't lock the specific position at all. If you take action on yourself, I'm afraid you will suffer a big loss. In several other well-informed stores, people also talked about the same thing, but no one dared to comment loudly.
"Second brother, you're finally back. It's lucky that this old woman didn't annoy us to death." Xue Ling pointed to the "Jiuyin Ghost Mother" and said.
"Well, if it weren't for the face of your friends who are young masters, you would have tasted the power of iron crutches."
"If you fight, you will be afraid of whoever. I respect my elders. Don't shout to kill at any time. It won't be a few years. Go home early for retirement." Xue Ling smiled.
"You..."
Looking at this, I don't know who will be angry first. The old man who had nothing to do would not come to her without summons. Xiao Ran interrupted, "What's the big deal?"
The old woman glanced at Yang Fan and Xue Ling without saying anything. Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother, it's okay. Go to the hall and talk about it."
"The young master should have heard about the twelve serial docks."
"Hm, what does this have to do with seven kills?"
"Do you still remember Fu Boqun and An Yiru? We are all the four elders of the Seven Killing Gate. After the death of Master Pei, the three of them each took part of the backbone of the religion to break away from this religion. Fu Boqun established the Huayi Gate, the "Demon Knife Prince" An Yiru and Cai Yan established the Star School, both of which lived on the Yangtze River. This time, Xia Luo, the son of Xia's parents, personally led 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress the twelve serial docks. The elders speculated that the Qinglong Gang and Cao Gang would also remove the disobedient faction on the waterway and strengthen their strength.
"In any case, Huayimen and the Star School are also my branches. We must not sit idly by and let outsiders pick up a bargain. Therefore, it was decided that the plan to subdue the two factions should be carried out ahead of schedule. As the heir of the head, the young master naturally has to lead the overall situation. This is also the test given to the young master by the two elders on the stage. Even if you can't subdue all of them, at least make sure to subdue one faction.
The general trend of the world, pulling one hair and moving the whole body. Can the Seven Killing Sect think of this, Tianmo Sect, will Yan Luo Hall not think of it? Who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie? Xiao Ran rubbed his forehead, and it was not easy to grab food from the tiger's mouth. If you are not careful, you have to put your life in it, but you can't give up the identity of the seven-killing leader.
