As soon as Dongfang Ming and Liu Qiong's carriage arrived, they rushed out with the crowd and blocked the way. Dongfang Ming shouted: "People in the car, listen, if you get out of the car and let us go, we may be able to spare your lives."
Liu Qiong, who was driving the carriage in front, quickly stopped the reins and stopped the carriage. Liu Qiong glanced at Fang Ming and replied coldly: "Where are you grass bandits? You are so rampant! If you don't give way, we won't be polite either!"
Dongfang Ming was furious and immediately asked Bai Lian to take action. Bai Lian agreed, jumped up, and struck Liu Qiong with a sword in the air. Liu Qiong and the three people on the carriage were already on full alert. When Bai Lian moved, Jin Ding had already noticed it.
Jin Ding Wuying quickly pulled out his sword, jumped up, and swung his sword to meet Bai Lian. The two swords collided in the air, and both of them were knocked to the ground. As soon as Jin Ding's feet touched the ground, he waved his hand and stabbed Bai Lian with his sword. Bai Lian dodged and swung her sword to slash, and the two of them immediately killed each other.
Seeing Bai Lian move his hand, Heimu also jumped up and swung his sword towards Liu Qiong. Xia Shui immediately jumped up and waved his sword to meet him. The two swords collided and they both landed at the same time. Kuroki slashed Xia Shui with his sword, and Xia Shui raised his sword to separate them, and the two fought together.
Although Black Lotus didn't want to bully the minority, at this moment, she had to jump up, fly towards the carriage, and stab Liu Qiong with a sword in the air.
Liu Qiong waved his sword to meet him, and the two swords intersected. Heilian was once again shaken by Liu Qiong's internal force and rolled backwards twice before falling to the ground. Seeing that Hei Lian seemed to be outmatched, Dongfang Ming immediately flew forward and slashed at Liu Qiong with his sword.
Liu Qiong rose into the air and waved his sword to greet him. When the swords touched, both of them were knocked to the ground. Liu Qiong took advantage of the situation and stabbed Dongfang Ming with his backhand. Dongfang Ming blocked it with his sword, and the two started fighting.
Dongfang Ming glanced around while fighting. I saw Hei Lian and Bai Lian teaming up to fight Jin Ding in an indistinguishable manner. Black Mu and Xia Shui were also equally matched. When Dongfang Ming saw it, he couldn't help but secretly thought that it was no wonder Hei Lian couldn't win. The opponent's martial arts was indeed very high.
Jin Ding's martial arts is better than Black Lotus and White Lotus. If he fights alone, he will definitely win easily. After Dongfang Ming joined the boat gang, he had not yet made any achievements. The boat gang spent a lot of money, and he must perform well today, otherwise how could he be worthy of Yang Fenghuang's courtesy and respect.
Dongfang Ming immediately shouted and used his full strength to stab Liu Qiong from the side with his sword. Liu Qiong's light kung fu was excellent and he easily avoided Dongfang Ming's single sword attack. The sword in his right hand slashed straight at him, and the two of them were still fighting fiercely.
Jin Ding swung his sword and whip at the same time, and after fighting for dozens of rounds with the two saintly messengers, he slowly gained the upper hand. Heimu and Xia Shui come and go, but they are still indistinguishable.
Liu Qiong was worried that Xia Shui would be wrong, and he would be sorry for Feiyun and Hongxing. He didn't want to continue to entangle, so he suddenly swung his sword and struck straight at him.
Dongfang Ming suddenly felt a sharp force pressing on his head, and was horrified. As soon as he heard the voice, he knew that his opponent's internal strength was stronger than his own. Dongfang Ming did not dare to be careless and hurriedly used his strength to raise his sword to parry.
The swords clashed again, and Dongfang Ming's steel sword was knocked off his hands and fell to the ground. Dongfang Ming couldn't help but was stunned, but he didn't expect that Liu Qiong's left palm had already been slapped. By the time he noticed it, it was already too late to dodge.
There was only a snap sound, and Liu Qiong hit Dongfang Ming's chest with a palm. Dongfang Ming screamed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and immediately flew backwards, falling to the ground more than a foot away.
When everyone in the boat gang saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked. Dongfang Ming is the strongest martial arts master among this group of people. He was seriously injured by the opponent, and the others were naturally no match.
Seeing Liu Qiong walking towards Dongfang Ming, Bai Lian hurriedly flew over to intercept him. Bai Lian knew that her martial arts skills were inferior, but she couldn't just sit back and watch Dongfang Ming be killed. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain to Yang Fenghuang. After all, among the boat gang members present, in terms of martial arts and status, she was the only one except Dongfang Ming.
Bai Lian tried her best to block Liu Qiong, and then the others got the opportunity to lift up the unconscious Dongfang Ming and ran backwards. Bai Lian barely blocked Liu Qiong's progress and successfully rescued Dongfang Ming.
Heilian faced Jin Ding alone, so naturally he was no match and was whipped from time to time. Bai Lian had no choice but to issue an order to retreat. After all, the boat gang members were well-trained and quickly retreated into the woods, turned around and left.
Jin Ding and Xia Shui were about to catch up, but were stopped by Liu Qiong. Liu Qiong told them that there was no need to chase, it was more important to hurry up. Only then did Jin Ding and Xia Shui stop, and the three of them got on the carriage and continued moving forward.
When they arrived at the foot of Yunlu Mountain, Liu Qiong finally found out the address of Yunlu Escort Bureau after many inquiries. The three of them hurriedly arrived at the door of the escort agency.
The head escort of Yunlu Escort Bureau, Wang, got the news and hurriedly came out to greet him. When Liu Qiong saw him, he immediately bowed his hands and saluted, saying, "Huang Liuqiong of Liujiazhuang has met Mr. Wang."
Escort Wang returned the favor and said, "Master Liu, you don't have to be polite. I have received a letter from Mr. Escort Zheng. These two are Mrs. Jin and Miss Xia Shui, right?"
Jin Ding and Xia Shui nodded and greeted each other. Head Guard Wang hurriedly invited the three of them into the living room and sat down to watch tea.
As soon as Jin Ding sat down, he asked about the boat gang. Bouncer Wang didn't mind and told Jin Ding. After many inquiries, they learned that the White Boat Gang was in a house halfway up the mountain.
The place is heavily guarded and outsiders cannot get close. No one knows how many people are inside or who they are. After Liu Qiong and the others listened, they thanked the escort leader Wang and left. The three of them found an inn and stayed there.
Early the next morning, Liu Qiong took Jin Ding and Xia Shui to Yunlu Mountain. They admired the charming scenery and slowly climbed up. As soon as they reached the mountainside, a person came and blocked the way of the three of them.
The person who came was a young and beautiful girl. She was none other than Hong Lian, one of the Saint Messengers of the White Boat Gang. Honglian told Liu Qiong and the others that it was the Saint of the Boat Gang who invited them.
It turned out that Bai Lian and others carried Dongfang Ming back to the boat gang's main altar. When Yang Fenghuang heard that Dongfang Ming was seriously injured by a man in his thirties, he couldn't help but be furious and ordered someone to go down the mountain to settle the score with that man.
Ruoxue hurriedly tried to dissuade her and asked Bai Lian how the other party looked. Bai Lian thought for a while and told Ruoxue one by one about the appearance and dress of the visitor.
After Ruoxue listened, she said that the visitors should be Mr. and Mrs. Liu Qiong from Liujiazhuang. She had heard about the appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Liu Qiong before. Ruoxue then said to Yang Fenghuang: "Mom, Liu Qiong and his wife are highly skilled in martial arts and well-known in the world. Let's not offend them first. Let's see what they do before we make a decision."
Yang Fenghuang had naturally heard of Liu Qiong and Jin Ding, and accepted Ruoxue's suggestion. She immediately ordered everyone not to provoke Liu Qiong and his wife for the time being, and arranged for people to monitor the whereabouts of Liu Qiong and the others. Yang Fenghuang knew that Liu Qiong and his wife were highly skilled in martial arts and famous in the world, so he naturally wanted to invite Liu Qiong and his wife to join the boat gang.
Liu Qiong and the other three declined a few words, and then followed Honglian to the boat gang's main forum. When Yang Fenghuang saw them, he immediately welcomed them warmly and treated the three of them as honored guests.
After Yang Fenghuang said some polite and complimentary words, he proposed to hire Liu Qiong and his wife as guest officials of the boat gang. However, Liu Qiong said that she was not very talented and knowledgeable and could not bear the heavy responsibility. Yang Fenghuang said that Liujiazhuang was famous in the world and asked him not to be humble.
Liu Qiong was originally here to be an undercover agent, so she agreed. Liu Qiong said that the three of them always like to travel around, and this time they came to Yunlu Mountain. If there is nothing special, their actions cannot be restricted.
Yang Fenghuang knew that people like Liu Qiong and his wife should not be restrained too much, otherwise they would arouse the resentment of the other party. Therefore, she agreed to Liu Qiong's request and said that she would not restrict their freedom.
But Yang Xuelian hopes that the three Wu traces will not leave Huangshan too far or for too long. Wu Zheng was secretly happy and hurriedly said that he was just walking around Huangshan Mountain and that he would only be away for two or three days at most at a time. If they leave for a long time, they will definitely seek Yang Xuelian's permission first.
After the two parties agreed, Yang Xuelian held a banquet and entertained the three people without traces. After the banquet, Wu trace and Wen Xiu stayed in the White Lotus Sect. In the past few days, the three Wujiang people pretended to go down the mountain to play, and took the opportunity to come to the Beggars' Gang Branch Helm. They told the situation to Captain Wang and asked him to send someone to report it to the Jinling Branch Helm and Liu Shui. The three without traces spent a day playing at the foot of the mountain and returned to the White Lotus Sect the next day. Seeing that they had returned as promised, Yang Xuelian was overjoyed, and her sincerity towards the three Wujiangs increased even more.
Liu Shui was secretly happy after hearing Zhu Zheng's words. The three Wu traces successfully entered the White Lotus Sect, which will naturally be of great benefit to future encirclement and suppression campaigns. Liu Shui asked Zhu Zheng to tell Wu trace through the Huangshan branch of the Beggar Clan, saying that he would be going to Huangshan to meet them soon and asked Zhu Zheng to thank Captain Wang on his behalf. Zhu Zheng agreed and said that if Liu Shui had any other needs, please make it clear. Liu Shui was eager to go back to discuss with Gao Qiong, thanked Zhu Zheng, and left. Zhu Zheng knew Liu Shui's thoughts, so he didn't try to hold them back and personally sent Liu Shui and the others out of the helm.
After leaving the Jinling branch, Liu Shui asked Liangchen about the news about the Dragon and Phoenix Gate. Liangchen told Liu Shui that they followed the scent and tracked it all the way to a village near the riverside in Zhenjiang. Liangchen and others found out that this village was called Longfeng Villa. There were four to five hundred people inside, and it was difficult for outsiders to enter. There is a tall wall outside this villa, and there is also an open space in front of the villa. Liangchen and others wanted to go in, but they saw that the inspection at the entrance of the village was very strict. These people all knew each other and could not get in at all. They were afraid of disturbing the situation, so they had to come back first.
After listening to Liangchen's introduction, Liu Shui asked her what she thought next. Liangchen thought that since the Wuzong brothers and sisters had successfully penetrated into the White Lotus Sect and Huangshan was far away, he should ignore them for the time being. The Dragon and Phoenix Sect is not far from Jinling and its strength is weak. It is better to concentrate on attacking the Dragon and Phoenix Sect again. Even if they cannot be eradicated, at least their vitality will be severely damaged and they will no longer pose a threat in the short term. After the Dragon Phoenix Sect's problem is resolved, more manpower can be allocated to Huangshan to deal with the White Lotus Sect.
Liu Shui thought about it and felt that what Liangchen said was reasonable, so he agreed and said that they would go back to the government office and discuss it together. The four of them then ran all the way and quickly returned to the government office. Gao Qiong listened to Liu Shui's suggestion and summoned everyone to the living room. After everyone sat down, Gao Qiong asked Liangchen to tell the story of the White Lotus Sect and the Dragon and Phoenix Sect in detail, and invited everyone to discuss it. Upon hearing this, Princess Yanmei immediately said: "Since the Dragon and Phoenix Gate is close, it is natural to eradicate it first. I think we should concentrate our efforts to attack the Dragon and Phoenix Villa. After that, we will go to Huangshan to deal with the White Lotus Sect."
As soon as Princess Yanmei finished speaking, Murong Zaixing also echoed her words. Others agree that this is the best option and that it should be done as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. Jin Ding asked Liangchen for his opinion again, but Liangchen was not right this time. Liangchen knew that the Dragon and Phoenix Sect must be extra careful at this moment. It was already impossible to send anyone to sneak in. Therefore, this can only be a forced attack, and at most it will catch them by surprise.
Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Gao Qiong said that he would take everyone there himself. But Liangchen said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to trouble the Prince and Princess to deal with such gangsters. I think it is better for my young master to lead the princess, sister Hongying, head Xiaofeng, girl Yunxia, young hero Lin Feng and Ping Ting, Qiu Shuang, Dong Xue, Meijing and I are going, and we also ask the great hero Murong Zaixing to lead a thousand forbidden troops to help. The government office consists of Wang Yiye and his wife, as well as Chanjuan, Fang Ming, Qiu Lu, Lian'er and Xiao from the Qixia sect. Aunt Yue and Miss Yunyan are guarding us to prevent accidents."
After hearing this, Gao Qiong and his wife felt that it was reasonable, so they agreed to Liangchen's arrangement. Everyone immediately dispersed and went back to prepare. But after Lian'er learned about it, she was worried that someone would be hurt and insisted on going with them. Liu Shui couldn't resist her, so he had to agree. Early the next morning, Liu Shui left the government office with Hongying, Princess, Lian'er and others and went straight to Zhenjiang. Murong Zaixing led the imperial army and followed behind at a distance.
As soon as Liu Shui and others left the city, they met Deng Dan arriving with Hong'er and Qing'er. It turned out that Deng Dan stayed at home for a few days, but he missed Lin Feng very much. She and Lin Feng travel to Taoyuan, and the two have long been in love. So she told Mr. Deng that she wanted to visit Jinling. Mr. Deng knew that she wanted to see Lin Feng, so he didn't stop her. Deng Dan was overjoyed and hurried to Jinling with Hong'er and Qing'er.
When Liu Shui saw him, he was naturally overjoyed and introduced Deng Dan to everyone. If there are too many people on a good day, it will inevitably attract attention, so it is recommended to go in separate groups. Liu Shui knew that Liangchen didn't want to alert the people of Longfeng Sect too early. If they escaped again, it would be difficult to find them in the future. Liu Shui then divided everyone into three teams. The first team is Liu Shui, Hongying, Liangchen, Meijing, Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue; the second team is Yanmei Princess, Lian'er, Pingting, Xiaofeng leader and Yunxia; the third team is Lin Feng and Deng Dan , Hong'er and Qing'er.
Princess Yanmei felt a little unhappy when she saw that Liu Shui had arranged Hongying to be with him again. But after all, Hongying had only been here a few days, Princess Yanmei couldn't say much. After all, Lian'er, like her, was placed in the second team by Liangchen. Princess Yanmei knew that if she was verbose, she would only make everyone think that she was too petty. Lian'er had always had an indifferent attitude, and she was already satisfied to be able to follow Liu Shui out this time. As for the others, they naturally have no objections.
Everyone rushed all the way, and at noon, they had arrived near Longfeng Villa. Liu Shui and the others were more than a mile away from the villa, waiting for the people behind to arrive. Soon, Princess Yanmei arrived with the second team, and Lin Feng led the third team.
