Jin Ding suddenly said: "Everyone, I have a suggestion. My husband and I have passed by Yunlu Mountain before and have some knowledge about it. No one from the Boat Gang has seen us. We, our husband and wife, can go to Yunlu Mountain to inquire about the situation. If there is a chance, We will sneak into the boat gang. Then we will cooperate with everyone to completely wipe out this evil gang."
Since Jin Ding gained Wu Zetian's favor, he has always wanted to make great achievements and show his ability and loyalty to Wu Zetian. She thought that if her husband and wife played a huge role in wiping out the boat gang, Wu Zetian would definitely pay more attention to them.
Jin Ding thought that if he could sneak into the boat gang, the first effort to eradicate the boat gang would be his wife's. Liu Qiong naturally understood what his wife meant and quickly agreed.
Feiyun was stunned for a moment and then said: "Sister Jin, this gang is very vicious. If your identity is revealed, there will be great danger. I am really worried and don't dare to let my sister and brother-in-law take such risks!"
Jin Ding smiled slightly and said: "Brother Yun, sister knows that you are thinking about us. The emperor has been very kind to us and our husband, and we should do our best to repay it. As long as we act cautiously, there should be no problem. Brother Yun, don't worry, I wonder if I can agree?"
Before Feiyun could answer, Liangchen expressed his agreement first. She thought that if Liu Qiong and Jin Ding were willing to go through the trouble, she would definitely get it. Everyone here has met people from the Boat Gang, and they are easily recognized by each other when they arrive near Yunlu Mountain.
Sister Liu Qiong and Jin Ding have never met members of the Boat Gang, and with their reputation as a couple in the world, they will definitely attract people from the Boat Gang. In this way, it is indeed easier for Liu Qiong and his wife to find out the information than others. Maybe his boat gang will invite two more people to join him. Yang Fenghuang also said before that he invited many martial arts masters.
Since Liangchen agreed to Jin Ding's suggestion, it was natural for Feiyun to object again. Jin Ding was naturally overjoyed when he saw this. She thought for a while and then asked: "After we go to Yunlu Mountain, if we find out some information, how will we inform you?"
Feiyun immediately said: "This matter is simple. There is a Yunlu Escort Agency near Yunlu Mountain, which is a branch of the Bafang Escort Agency. When you get there, you can find the Yunlu Escort Agency first. I will ask Mr. Zheng to inform the agency in advance, and they will definitely I will help you greatly.”
Jin Ding was overjoyed. She felt that it was not too late to go to Yunlu early tomorrow morning. As for the Yunlu Escort Bureau, I asked Feiyun to tell them through Mr. Zheng, the escort chief, and Feiyun naturally agreed.
Liangchen asked Jin Ding if he needed to bring anyone with him as his entourage, besides his wife. Jin Ding shook his head and said there was no need. There were too many people and it would be inconvenient.
However, Liangchen thought that given Jin Ding's status, it would be unreasonable if he didn't have a maid by his side. Liangchen suggested that Xia Shui follow Jin Ding as a maidservant.
Xia Shui is Hongxing's maid. When Taohua Village and the Boat Gang fought, she didn't show up, and the Boat Gang didn't see her either. Xia Shui followed Hongxing and practiced martial arts since childhood. Recently, under the guidance of Ximen Shan and Luo Chuan, her martial arts has improved greatly. At critical moments, it can help them as a couple.
Jin Ding thought for a while and felt that what Liangchen said made sense, so he nodded in agreement. Liangchen asked Hongxing if she agreed. Hongxing smiled slightly and agreed.
Seeing that Liangchen and others had already discussed it, Zhang Jianzhi stood up to express his gratitude to Liu Qiong and Jin Ding. The couple quickly returned the gift, saying that they did not dare to accept it. Zhang Jianzhi asked everyone to go down and rest, and everyone left immediately.
Early the next morning, Liu Qiong, Jin Ding and Xia Shui packed up and arrived outside the government office surrounded by Feiyun and others. Jin Ding and Xia Shui got on the carriage and saluted everyone. When they entered the carriage, Liu Qiong also jumped onto the carriage.
Feiyun and Liangchen gave a few words of advice, Liu Qiong reassured everyone, then saluted with his hands in hand, raised his whip, and the carriage galloped towards the west. It wasn't until the carriage disappeared that Liu Shui and others returned to the government office.
A few days later, Bafang Escort Bureau sent someone to invite Feiyun to come over. Feiyun thought that news about Liu Qiong and his wife should have reached the escort agency, so he immediately rushed there with Tianxiang, Liangchen and Meimei. The four of them ran all the way and soon arrived at the escort office. Zheng Lang invited the four of them into the hall and sat down to watch tea. Feiyun hurriedly asked him if there was news from Yunlu Mountain.
Zheng Lang nodded and said that Yunlu Escort had already met Liu Qiong and the others. Liu Qiong and Jin Ding also successfully joined the Boat Gang and became their guests. Feiyun was overjoyed and asked Zheng Lang to explain the situation in detail.
Zheng Lang smiled slightly, took out a letter and handed it to Feiyun. Feiyun took a closer look and found out what happened to Liu Qiong and the others after they left Nanyang.
After Liu Qiong and the others left Nanyang, the journey was very smooth. One day later, they arrived at a village near Yunlu Mountain. It was already dusk at this time. Liu Qiong was worried that there was no hotel in front of him, so he stayed at a farmhouse.
The family was very hospitable, and they saw Liu Qiong and two young girls. They knew that walking at night was indeed dangerous, so they agreed with Liu Qiong and the others.
In the evening, a banquet was held in honor of the three of them. Liu Qiong and the other three were eating and chatting with the farmer's family, when there was a noise outside. The farmer's family members were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their whole bodies were trembling.
Jin Ding hurriedly asked what was going on, only to learn that a group of gangsters had recently appeared in the area and often rushed into the village to rob. Many surrounding villages have suffered at their hands. When Liu Qiong heard this, she was filled with indignation and immediately took Jin Ding and Xia Shui out of the house.
The three of them looked up and looked around. They saw a group of people dressed in fancy clothes, holding knives and guns, and were breaking into the houses one by one. Cries and screams broke out in the village, and some houses were set on fire by the gangsters.
The three of them were furious, and immediately jumped up and killed the gangsters. Although the gangsters were outnumbered, their martial arts were mediocre. They were no match for Liu Qiong, Jin Ding, and Xia Shui.
The gangsters were quickly killed by Liu Qiong and the others. They were about to continue the pursuit when they saw three figures flying over to block their way.
Xia Shui took a closer look and saw three young women. The girl among them is Hei Lian, the saint messenger of the boat gang. She is accompanied by two saint maids, Qiu Shui and Dong Shui. Liu Qiong and the other three have never dealt with the boat gang, so naturally they don't know them.
Heilian shouted: "Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business? If you know what's going on, get out of here!"
Jin Ding was furious and shouted angrily: "Everyone can kill gangsters and villains!"
As soon as Jin Ding finished speaking, he pulled out his sword, swung it with all his strength, and took the black lotus straight away. Hei Lian had just seen Jin Ding's moves and had already seen that her martial arts was not weak.
Before Hei Lian could react, Qiu Shui and Dong Shui beside him stepped forward to stop him. Heilian pulled out the sword from behind, and saw that the sword had a black blade and was obviously a precious sword.
Although Qiu Shui and Dong Shui are just Ruoxue's maids, after Ruoxue's careful teaching and Yang Fenghuang's guidance, their martial arts skills are not much different from those of Black Lotus.
Jin Ying was attacked from both sides by Qiu Shui and Dong Shui, and with the help of other gangsters, the fight was tied for a while. Liu Qiong originally wanted to help, but Hei Lian's sword struck like lightning. A black cloud struck Liu Qiong's head, with a faint sound of wind and thunder, which proved that her skill was far higher than that of the other two women.
Liu Qiong was secretly frightened and had no time to take care of Jin Ding, so he had to wave his spear to greet him. There was only a "ding" sound, swords and guns collided, and Hei Lian was knocked back several steps.
Liu Qiong felt a light touch in her hand. When she lowered her head, she saw that her spear had been cut into two pieces. Liu Qiong was shocked, knowing that although the opponent's internal strength was slightly weaker, he was holding a sword that could cut iron as well as clay. He just used an iron spear, but it was still cut off. At this moment, the woman stabbed with another sword.
Liu Qiong saw that Black Lotus was approaching fiercely, and had no time to think about it, so she had to duck and avoid it. Liu Qiong immediately pulled out his sword and slashed at Heilian. Heilian raised his sword to hold it, but was shocked so hard that his arm hurt, and he almost lost his sword.
Hei Lian took a closer look and saw that Liu Qiong's sword was not damaged at all. This time it was Hei Lian's turn to be surprised, and he immediately understood that the opponent was also using a very hard sword. The other party's internal strength is so strong that it seems impossible to resist.
Hei Lian turned around and saw that both Qiu Shui and Dong Shui had been injured by Jin Ding. It turned out that Jin Ding underestimated the enemy at first, so he didn't use all his strength. After Jin Ding fought with them, he realized that the opponent was not weak, so he took out another soft whip.
Jin Ding used his skills to attack fiercely with the sword in his right hand and the whip in his left hand. Qiu Shui and Dong Shui were naturally no match for them, and they were hit one after another. At the same time, Xia Shui also beat the ordinary gang members into a state of panic. Although Xia Shui's martial arts is not strong, he is more than enough to deal with them.
Heilian didn't expect that there was such a master in this village. He knew that if he continued to fight, the whole army might be destroyed. Black Lotus immediately let out a scream, turned around and left.
Qiu Shui and Dong Shui retreated when they heard the whistle, and the other boat gang members also fled in all directions. In the blink of an eye, these people left more than a dozen corpses and disappeared into the night.
When the villagers saw that Liu Qiong and others had repelled the bandits, they hurriedly came out to thank the three of them and asked them to stay and protect the village.
Liu Qiong shook his head and said: "Don't worry, everyone, after tonight's battle, these gangsters will not dare to harass you again in the short term. We should stay here to help you, but we have other important matters and we will leave tomorrow." Villagers. We heard that they had something to do, so naturally it was inconvenient to force them.
Early the next morning, Liu Qiong and the others left the mountain village and continued to Yunlu Mountain. The carriage ran for more than an hour and arrived at the edge of a forest.
Suddenly a group of people rushed out of the woods and blocked the way. The leader is Dongfang Ming, the newly recruited protector of the Boat Gang. The other three are the messengers Bai Lian, Hei Lian and Heimu, and there are more than twenty members of the Boat Gang.
It turned out that Heilian was defeated last night, returned to a nearby village where the boat gang had surrendered, and reported the incident to Dongfang Ming.
After hearing this, Dongfang Ming became furious and wanted to take revenge overnight, but was dissuaded by Bai Lian. Bai Lian believed that these people were definitely not locals and would naturally leave tomorrow.
Bai Lian then suggested sending someone to monitor them first. If the three people left tomorrow, they would intercept them halfway. Dongfang Ming felt that what Bai Lian said was reasonable, so he made arrangements according to her opinions.
Early this morning, not long after Liu Qiong and the three left, Dongfang Ming got the news. He hurriedly led his people to take a shortcut and ambush Liu Qiong and the others on the road they must pass.
