He Nan's promise to the Jinghong Sect was naturally fulfilled, but he also played some tricks in his "borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha".
After counting all the stolen goods in Yanluo Village, He Nan first took out the small portion that he had given to the people in the village, and then divided the property into three equal parts.
The largest portion is naturally the portion promised to the Jinghong Sect, and the other two portions are used as expenses for maintaining the volunteer army and donations to surrounding villages - of course, the Jinghong Sect did not lose this part of their property in vain, He said. Nan was also named the Jinghong Sect when he donated money and food to surrounding villages. Naturally, the people were grateful to the "Jinghong Sect" and Mr. He.
Although these bandits had difficulty adapting to some of the "red tape" formulated by He Nan, they were well organized under He Nan's kindness and power, and the establishment of the Yiyongwu was also a place for He Nan to settle down. ——He has already thought about it. If one day he can no longer survive in Jianghu and has no shame to return to Shanhe Mansion, it would not be a bad idea to be the leader here.
Of course, he couldn't stay in Xiaoshan just to eat and wait to die, so after staying in Xiaoshan for a month, He Nan and the others set out on their journey again.
The destination of the three of them was naturally He Nan's ancestral home and Fuyang County, the northernmost county in Sheng Kingdom. This was also what He Nan had discussed with Yu Ruyi and Wei Kui. After arriving at Fuyang County and everything was arranged, Wei Kui naturally wanted to return to his hometown to take a look, while Yu Ruyi took the same route. Return to Bai Yujing and return to Li Zhanchun.
The next stop decided by He Nan was to go northeast from Xiaoshan to Kuyun City, a waterway hub in the central region of Sheng Kingdom, and then cross northward across the Sunset River, one of the three rivers in Sheng Kingdom.
Kuyun City is one of the large ports on the Sunset River. Because the Sunset River is the one with the widest basin distribution among the three major rivers in Shengguo, with hundreds of tributaries running north and south, Kuyun City is located in the middle section of the Sunset River and in the plain area. The city is particularly important. In addition to the waterway shipping on the Sunset River being mainly operated by the government, the Sihai Gang, one of the nine sects, also has an important branch here to get a share of the pie.
He Nan's status made it inconvenient for him to take an official ship, so he could only cross the river through a private boat like the Sihai Gang's helm in Kuyun City. This is why the three of them must make Kuyun City their next destination.
After entering Kuyun City and arranging an inn for accommodation, the three of them inquired about the location of the Sihai Gang's branch. Although the port is not in the city, if you want to take a ship out of the city to the port on the river, the branch of the Sihai Gang is established in Kuyun City, and ships are not always available, so you have to go to the branch in the city. Buy ferry tickets.
And just when He Nan and the other three were walking around and looking around and were about to arrive at the Sihai Gang branch, the road ahead was blocked by a huge crowd.
"Brother, may I ask what happened in front of you that caused so many people to gather here?" Seeing that he couldn't get through the crowd even if he squeezed hard, He Nan simply stopped going forward. He was not in a hurry anyway. . He casually asked a young man beside him who was looking forward to it.
The man looked at He Nan and the others for a few moments, then replied: "Your accent sounds like you're not a local, right? Then you must not know the cause and effect."
After hearing the man's nonsense answer, He Nan angrily wanted to slap him twice, and cursed: "Bullshit, if I knew, why would I ask you?" But this must not be said in front of others. He Nan looked humble, cupped his hands and said, "Then I would like to ask my brother, can you tell me what happened here?"
In fact, the matter before us is simple to say. There was a dispute between two disciples of the Sihai Clan and the Beggar Clan. In order to resolve their grievances, they signed a life and death certificate here, set up a duel in the ring, and gathered here to watch. They are all quacks and meddlesome people. These people were all full and had nothing to do. When they heard that disciples from major sects in the world were dueling here, they spread the news and came here to stop and watch.
The origin of this incident is quite funny. Several disciples of the Beggar Clan wanted to take a boat to go north, so they came to the riverside port of the Sihai Clan. However, due to the large number of people taking the boat that day, these Beggar Clan disciples were kicked off the boat and replaced by a few wealthy people. His young master.
Although the rules of the Sihai Gang are that officials, civilians, and bandits all cross, this gang of dandies fell in love with another girl on the ship. In order to please the beauty, they paid off their wallets and boarded the ship to ask the Sihai Gang to take these stinky beggars. Drive away. The Sihai Gang is a group that relies on waterways to make a living. Based on the principle of having money and not being a bastard, they sent these bastards off the boat and asked them to take another boat before leaving.
In fact, it's not the fault of others. They are doing business, so naturally whoever pays more will take care of them. Moreover, they are not prohibited from taking the boat and are replaced by another one. These Beggar Clan disciples felt that they were carrying the iconic cloth bag on their chests, so they thought that everyone would recognize that they were from the Beggar Clan - but then again, which beggar didn't have a bag on his body? Not all beggars in the world can join the Beggar Clan.
Taking another boat is a small matter, but losing face is a big deal. These disciples of the Beggar Gang were naturally very angry when they were driven ashore in despair from the boat in full view of the public. At that time, their identity as a Beggar Gang was revealed.
Normally, after the Sihai Gang people knew the identity of the Beggar Gang disciples, they would apologize and say a few words, and then the matter would be over. However, the leader who was on duty at the riverside port at that time did not think that he had done anything wrong at all. Then he made fun of these unscrupulous beggars.
"We didn't charge you more for the boat, and we didn't delay your trip. We were just going from one ship to another. We couldn't even walk these few steps. Why are you so valuable? Why don't you pay more? How about some money to drive people down?" The words of the leader of the Sihai Gang were filled with guns and sticks, which was full of irony. "You beggars can walk half of the city just to get a penny, why can't you walk on the road now?" In fact, what he said next makes no sense. Asking for money is a job for beggars, and it was also a job to be a grandson at that time. There is nothing wrong with it, but when they come to your place, they become guest guests. Although the people from the Sihai Gang did nothing wrong, this attitude was not appropriate.
The one with the highest status among the Beggar Clan was a Six-Pocket disciple. Of course he was very unhappy after hearing what the other party said, so he said: "I am the Six-Pack Disciple of the Beggar Clan, Sharon. We are both from the martial arts world." Comrade, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?" Sharon is also a well-known member of the Beggar Clan. He deliberately did not register an account before, hoping to wait for these fellow gangsters to recognize him. Unexpectedly, no one recognized him. Now Liangming Identity more or less also means to use status to oppress others.
"What's wrong with the beggar gang? No matter how awesome you are, aren't you still a beggar? Could it be that people will give you an extra two pennies just because you are a beggar from the beggar gang?" The leader also got angry, "The rules are the rules, and people will give you big money for their wallets." Boat, then why don’t you go on another boat? You are so poor that you don’t want others to pay for it?”
In just a few words, the anger has been stirred up, and since they are all from the world, they naturally want to see the truth in their hands. At this time, it is no longer possible to tell who is right and who is wrong. We can only distinguish right from wrong based on the level of strength.
Jianghu is such a river and lake. We talk about strength first and then reason. No matter how tough your tongue is, you can't touch your fist.
Sharon stopped taking the boat and started fighting with the leader of the Sihai Gang on the spot. After twenty or thirty rounds, the two actually fought against each other and were inseparable.
Originally, Sharon wanted to stop the fight when he saw that he couldn't defeat the opponent and he still had things to do while waiting to board the boat. He took a step back first, but unexpectedly, just when he was about to stop, the word "stop" stuck on his lips. Suddenly, two members of the Sihai Gang took advantage of his unpreparedness and swarmed him up and pushed him into the water.
Seeing that the other party was thrown into the water by his men, the leader jumped in as well. His name is Xu Qing, and his nickname is Jiangli Crocodile. He is the helmsman in Kuyun City of the Sihai Gang and can be regarded as the right-hand man of the helmsman. Xu Qing's name is related to water, and he is nicknamed the crocodile, the overlord of the water. His water qualities are naturally excellent, and once he reaches the bottom of the water, he can display all his abilities. Although Sharon also has three points of water in his name, he has been begging for food all year round and knows how to fight with water. He is a real landlubber. After three or five rounds, Xu Qing held his head in the water and drank his fill from the river. If so many people weren't watching, Xu Qing wouldn't want to kill anyone, and Sharon's body would have to sink into the river.
Of course, Sharon couldn't hold back after being fished out. He stopped taking the boat and directly issued a challenge to Xu Qing - I am definitely no match for you water monkeys in the water, but Let's decide the outcome on the ground.
Although Xu Qing was not a kind person, he was indeed a bit unbeatable today. In addition, their fight just now was considered a close match, so he agreed to this bet.
Of course, the salon immediately added another rule - signing a life and death certificate. Now Xu Qing hesitated again. He had taken advantage and had face, so why risk his life with this barefoot guy? However, Sharon also returned Xu Qing's weird words intact, such as "The people in the Sihai Gang are all cowards who are afraid of death" and "You can only bully others in the water. Once you get on the shore, you will be a chopping block." fish on the table."
I have to say that this beggar's mouth is quite powerful. Xu Qing's anger rushed to his head at that time, and the cold river water could not extinguish it, so he agreed to this life and death fight today.
He Nan and Yu Ruyi found it quite interesting after listening to the young man's story - they had never seen a life and death fight between two people in the ring; Wei Kui was not surprised by this, after all, he was in the military. Zhong was very keen on engaging in this kind of activity and would challenge anyone to a duel. However, he was also curious whether the duels of people in the Jianghu were the same as those of those who joined the army.
The three of them estimated that the members of the Sihai Gang were also waiting for the outcome of this duel, so they were not in a hurry to take the boat, so they stayed here and prepared to watch the show.
