Chenzhou County, Pi County Pizhou Crossing.
...two days ago.
Three sailboats went down the Pi River and docked at the ferry.
From the appearance point of view, these three sailboats have no distinctive features. They merge with the dozens of boats of various sizes on the ferry, just like a river flowing silently into the sea.
But the trackers, laborers and sailors at the ferry stopped to stare and stretch their heads when they saw the three boats.
The boat is an ordinary sailboat. Although such a large boat is not common, it is not a rare item in a large ferry like Pizhou Ferry.
But the flag hanging on the bow of the ship is no ordinary flag.
Almost everyone who often sits on the pier or near the water recognizes that one of the two flags hanging on the bow of the ship is the "Three Rivers and Four Seas Flag" exclusive to the Sihai Gang.
Within the Three Rivers, there is nothing that cannot be followed, and within the four seas, there is nothing that cannot be followed.
However, it would be fine if it were just the Three Rivers and Four Seas flag. The bows of ships under the Four Seas Gang all hang this flag to show their majesty and as a passport. Nearly one-third of the ships on the Pi River will fly the Three Rivers and Four Seas flag. flag.
What is really worth talking about, and what makes everyone watch and sigh in secret... is the other side of the bow.
The edges are embroidered with auspicious clouds and silver, and the whole body is tea leaf green. Dots of ink stains are like rain and dew, and they are covered with seas and rivers. The hanging will be ten feet long, cut horizontally five feet long, and the scales hide the wind and thunder, which is called the Nine-Headed Dragon King.
The banner of the leader of the Sihai Gang, the Nine-Headed Dragon King Flag!
Within the Sihai Gang, even the Dragon King of the Four Seas does not have an exclusive logo. Apart from the Three Rivers and Four Seas flag, the tailor only made a picture with this special pattern.
"My subordinate Tie Yueyun, on the orders of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, am here to welcome the gang leader and all the Dragon Kings!" The people who got off the three boats merged into a sea current, and Tie Yueyun, who had a green-skinned head, hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, holding his fists in his hands. He knelt on his knees, and a dozen or so people behind him followed his example and knelt down, like a spring breeze blowing down the waves of wheat.
Chen Fengping, the leader of the Sihai Gang and the current leader of the martial arts alliance, is naturally at the forefront. Unlike the "leader of the martial arts alliance" imagined by most people, Chen Fengping does not have any heroic spirit in him. He doesn't have the shrewdness of a businessman like Wang Juxi, but looks more like a Confucian scholar. Chen Fengping wore a three-layer turtleneck navy blue gown, a pair of high-toe leather boots with scale patterns on his feet, and a pair of white silk gloves on each hand.
Some people may find it strange that the Sihai Gang is a waterway gang, so why does the gang leader wear clothes that are completely inappropriate for going into the water?
Indeed, as far as this body is concerned, as long as it gets wet, it will cause trouble for itself. When it gets wet, it will be wrapped around the body like animal hair, which is very inconvenient.
But isn’t that nonsense? Now that you have become a gang leader, do you still need to go into the water yourself?
And whether he represents the Sihai Gang or the entire martial arts world, Chen Fengping, who holds the two most heavyweight titles at the same time, will never be naked and unsightly like an ordinary tracker sailor.
From this point of view, Wang Juxi really valued this Tie Yueyun, and even the most important matter of welcoming the gang leader was left to him.
"Where are the people from Wang Juxi?" Before the gang leader opened his mouth, there was already a person behind him asking questions anxiously. This person looked roughly like the three brothers of the Xu family, except that his face was crisscrossed with ridges and his hair was completely white. It seemed that he was Xu Ling, the Dragon King of the East China Sea. spring.
Xu Lingquan is only about sixty years old now, far from being as old as he looks. This is all because his youngest son's whereabouts are unknown and his hair turned gray almost overnight.
"Sir, the Dragon King of South China Sea is currently in Lining County, participating in the Young Heroes Association for the Sihai Gang." Tie Yueyun raised his hand to Xu Lingquan.
"How are the results of our boys from the Sihai Gang?" Chen Fengping patted Tie Yueyun on the shoulder and motioned for him to stand up and speak.
Xiaotie hesitated for a moment, but only for a moment before he answered truthfully: "Reporting to the gang leader, Brother Xiang and Yan Qi from the Beggar Clan we sent out this time collided in the first round and were defeated."
Originally, Tie Yueyun was thinking about saying something like "the two are equally powerful, but Xiangdongliu is unlucky" or "didn't make the Sihai Gang look bad" to excuse him, but then he decided to forget it - if you lose, you lose. Yes, telling the truth is also my duty as a subordinate. Adding fuel to the fire may bring more trouble to the Dragon King and Xiang Dongliu.
"Hmph..." Xu Lingquan couldn't help but snorted after hearing this: "Since he no longer belongs to our Sihai Gang, what is he still doing there?"
Xu Lingquan has always set his sights higher than the top and regards himself as the leader of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and the first person under the gang leader, so he always speaks in a lecturing tone to others. In addition, Xu Qing's incident has disturbed him recently. Unsettled, so this reaction is not surprising.
"Haha..." But it's not surprising, and it doesn't mean that it won't cause other thoughts. There are two people half a step behind Xu Lingquan!
This man with a low smile is Xue Kaiyuan, the North Sea Dragon King, a direct descendant of Xue Wudi. As the descendants of the strongest generation of gang leaders, although the Xue family did not produce another gang leader, they have always had a very high status within the Sihai Gang and can be regarded as the patriarch of the gang. Xue Kaiyuan was a man of respected status and had an eccentric personality, so he didn't mind many things that others didn't dare to say or do. These two laughs fell into everyone's ears and aroused all kinds of thoughts.
On the contrary, Fang'an, the Dragon King of the West Sea, as the youngest among the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, acted as if nothing had happened. Tie Yueyun reported that he didn't care; he couldn't hear what Xu Lingquan said; and he didn't know what Xue Kaiyuan was laughing at. Fang An's ability to sit on the throne of the Dragon King in his thirties must be quite extraordinary. It is precisely because he has two brushes that he pretends to be deaf here - as for mixing water and mud? Everyone was fished out of the river, so who doesn’t know who is who?
Xue Kaiyuan sneered and Fang An pretended to be stupid, all because what Xu Lingquan said was inappropriate, and it was quite inappropriate - regardless of the fact that the Dragon King of the Four Seas usually has a lot of grudges and likes and dislikes, but in this aspect, it affects the entire world. When it comes to matters, we must share the same hatred and hatred. In other words, Wang Juxi's appearance at the Young Heroes Conference represents not himself, but the face of the entire Sihai Gang. If Wang Juxi withdraws because the disciples of the Sihai Gang lose, wouldn't it mean that the Sihai Gang's reputation has been compromised? Is your chicken intestines the butt of laughter?
It's not that Xu Lingquan doesn't understand this truth, but he just gets angry and he says these angry words - this is why he is inferior to Wang Juxi. Huo Yunzhen gave Wang Juxi such a big blow. Bastard, have you ever heard anything unpleasant said by the Dragon King of the South China Sea?
It's not that people with mature minds don't get angry, but they are better able to control their own behavior - what's the use of being angry? Being angry won't solve the problem.
"King Xu Long...Are you being too rude to our Dragon King? We, the Dragon King, are managing the Young Heroes Association for the entire Sihai Gang."
Tie Yueyun's words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky and thunder on the ground. The expressions of several people, centered on Chen Fengping, suddenly changed. Xu Lingquan suddenly felt a bad fire burning in his heart, while Xue Kaiyuan and Fang An But he showed a very subtle expression.
This sentence...but the following is wrong.
Some people may ask, isn't it said that Wang Juxi thinks highly of Tie Yueyun? Moreover, Tie Yueyun himself is also a very smart and ingenious person. How could he do such impulsive things and say such disrespectful words?
This move may seem rude, but it is not.
As a younger brother, if someone criticizes your elder brother in front of you, why don't you just listen there obediently? Although this rebuttal lacked etiquette, it actually explained the two words of loyalty and righteousness, and also made the other two dragon kings look at Tie Yueyun.
"Okay." Chen Fengping's rich voice sounded, completely cutting off any possible conflicts: "The gang's major issues are the most important, how can it be inappropriate to make noises here? Tie Yueyun, admit your mistake to the Dragon King of the East China Sea, this matter That’s it.”
From a logical point of view, Tie Yueyun actually did nothing wrong. If he was to blame, it was Xu Lingquan who made the rude remarks first, but Chen Fengping had to take care of Xu Lingquan's face and mood.
This matter is normal, anyone in Chen Fengping's position would be like this, but Xue Kaiyuan vaguely heard something different - he, Xu Lingquan and Chen Fengping are all from the same generation. They knew each other well. Chen Fengping's personality has always been to suppress Xu Lingquan, and he would definitely not give Xu Lingquan too much pride. Even when Xu Qing disappeared, he used his identity as the leader of the gang to suppress Xu Lingquan. The anger was forcibly covered up, but why has everything changed today?
In fact, just when Xu and Tie choked because of one sentence, Chen Fengping's thoughts were like a white rainbow shining through the sun, and he suddenly thought about a lot - Xiangdongliu's defeat was what he and Wang Juxi had expected long ago, but There really is no candidate more worthy of recommendation.
Does this incident just prove that the Sihai Gang no longer has the need or the ability to compete with other high-ranking sects for top talents?
"Gang leader, do you think we should set off directly to Lining County, or settle down temporarily in Fang County first?" Tie Yueyun asked respectfully, and then lowered his voice: "Several members of the Beggar Clan... also arrived from the Beggar Clan yesterday. The waterway comes here..."
Chen Fengping thought about it for a moment and then said loudly: "Brothers must be tired after riding the boat for a few days. Let's find an inn here today to rest."
Tie Yueyun said hurriedly: "The Dragon King of the South China Sea has already ordered his subordinates to arrange an inn to stay in Ping County in advance. Please help the leader, the Dragon Kings and brothers move here."
After hearing this, Chen Fengping couldn't help but raise his head and take a deep look at the other party - according to Tie Yueyun's meaning, he had already made preparations for both sides, and he had no intention of competing for credit. He was indeed the person selected by Wang Juxi. .
"Then lead the way!" Chen Fengping waved his hand: "On the way, you can tell everyone about the current situation of the Young Heroes Association."
