While Feiyun was thinking, Yu Long and others came closer. They bowed their hands to Prefect Liu and said, "Your Majesty, the common people Yu Long is polite. Your Majesty, I'm here. What orders do you have?"
Liu Taishou's face darkened and he asked: "Your name is Yu Long? What is your relationship with the Pai Gang?" Seeing Liu Taishou's unkind look, Yu Long quickly replied: "It's Cao Min. Cao Min has been trusted by all brothers and is temporarily serving as the Pai Gang." Help the leader.”
Liu Taishou said coldly: "Since you are the leader of the gang, I just have something to ask you. Recently, many fishermen have come to the Yamen to accuse you of committing evil crimes and hurting people on and along the Ru River. I am here to ask you to disband the platoon. Help and compensate the people along the coast for their losses!"
Yu Long immediately said: "Sir, we have always abided by the law and have never done those evil things. Someone must have framed us and framed us. Please be careful and don't listen to those unfounded rumors!"
Yesterday, the salt store and the bank were destroyed one after another, and Yu Long had naturally known about it for a long time. Such a big event suddenly happened in Ruzhou. He did not dare to neglect it and immediately sent someone to find out the news. The Pai Gang has been operating in Ruzhou for several years, and has eyes and ears all over the city and suburbs. Soon Yu Long learned the ins and outs of the matter.
The news that Yu Long received was that the young owner of Bafang Bank went to snatch a beautiful girl, but met a young knight and was beaten to a pulp. Bafang Bank then sent people to hunt down the boy and girl. When the boy and the girl escaped, they accidentally destroyed the treasures escorted by the Bafang Escort Agency. The owner of this treasure is a salt dealer, so the salt dealer also approached the escort agency to investigate.
Under the joint pressure of Qianzhuang and Yanxing, the Bafang Escort Bureau drove the young man named Lin Feng and the beautiful girl named Zhang Lan out of the Escort Agency. Qianzhuang led the crowd to besiege Lin Feng and Zhang Lan. Just when they were about to succeed, several young men and women suddenly appeared and beat back Qianzhuang.
The salt bank ran to Lin Feng to ask for an explanation. As a result, the salt bank's shopkeeper Huang was killed instead, and the salt bank collapsed immediately. Then Lin Feng and other friends joined forces with Miss Deng from the escort agency and led a group of people to destroy the bank. The government actually let these people off easily, but closed down the salt shop and the bank.
After hearing this, Yu Long felt happy and sad. Fortunately, the Pai Gang had nothing to do with this matter and were able to stay out of it. At the same time, the destruction of the two major forces, Salt Bank and Bank, brought excellent opportunities to the Pai Gang. Only the Escort Bureau can compete with them in Ruzhou City, and the Pai Gang can take advantage of the opportunity to occupy more territory and expand their power.
What Yu Long is worried about is that Lin Feng and the new men and women have too high martial arts skills. If they join forces with the Escort Bureau to deal with the Pai Gang, the Pai Gang will definitely not be their opponents.
Yu Long hurriedly called Zhao Heng and the four guardians to discuss countermeasures. Everyone suggested keeping quiet, restraining everyone, and waiting and watching for the time being.
At dusk yesterday, another news came that Lin Feng and his group had left the escort agency, and it seemed that they had no intention of joining forces with the escort agency to deal with the platoon gang.
Yu Long was relieved, but he still didn't dare to be careless. He issued an order to recall all the gang members and were not allowed to go out. He was afraid that these people would cause trouble outside and bring unnecessary trouble. At the same time, he sent people to closely monitor the inn where Fei Yun was staying, but until late at night, Yu Long had no useful information.
However, Yu Long felt relieved, thinking that these people would not come to cause trouble for him. Yu Long estimated that Feiyun, Lin Feng and others were all Jianghu knights, and they took action to destroy the salt bank and the bank because they saw injustice on the road.
Yu Long was glad that these people had not encountered the bad things the Pai Gang had done recently. Otherwise, the Pai Gang may not be able to escape this disaster. Yu Long thought of this and issued an order. The people from the Pai Gang were not allowed to go out before the group left Ruzhou. He estimated that Lin Feng, Feiyun and others would not stay in Ruzhou for a long time and would leave here soon. Once they leave, the Pai Gang can start to do the next thing.
It was already late at night when Yu Long made up his mind. Then he went to bed peacefully and slept until dawn. Not long after he got up, he heard the shouts of the government officials outside. Then someone came to report that the government officials surrounded the platoon gang.
Yu Long was shocked, but not panicked. He knew very well how strong the Ruzhou Yamen was, and it was no match for the Boat Gang. Besides, Yu Long had a strong backer in Luoyang, and no eunuch dared to offend him.
Yu Long didn't dare to be too careless. After all, he was facing the government, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. He immediately called for his younger brother Yu Heng and the four hall masters, and came out together to meet the prefect.
Before Yu Long could finish his words, he heard a young girl yelling angrily: "You evil thieves have harmed so many innocent people, yet you still have the nerve to say that you were framed. How shameless!"
Yu Long looked up and saw a beautiful girl yelling at him. Standing next to this girl were several young men and women with extraordinary bearing, each carrying a weapon. Yu Long was stunned and immediately suspected that these people might be the ones who destroyed the bank and the salt shop.
Yu Long couldn't help but take a breath when he thought of this. If they join forces with the government, the Pai Gang may also suffer disaster.
Yu Long immediately said to the girl: "Girl, don't listen to rumors and slander our gang!" That girl was naturally Lan'er. When she saw this group of thugs, she thought of her grandfather and the people in the village who were killed by them.
Lan'er shouted angrily: "Is this still necessary to slander you? My grandfather was killed by you, and more than ten people in the village were all killed in the river by you gang of evil thieves! The sky net is vast, and there is no leakage. Today It’s time for you to get retribution!”
Yu Long saw Lan'er's angry eyes and knew that what she said was true. He naturally knows how the Pai Gang is doing.
Before Yu Long could answer, Prefect Liu immediately said: "Yu Long, don't make excuses. I have already found out. If you are captured without mercy, I may consider giving you a lighter sentence!"
At this point, Yu Long knew that there was no room for maneuver, so he shouted: "Humph, Prefect Liu, do you know who we are? If you dare to be rude to us today, your official position may not be guaranteed. Besides, I hope you will let us Disarming is absolutely impossible!”
The magistrate said angrily: "Everyone listens to the order, Li Wu and others are committing lawlessness and causing harm to the people. I order you to arrest them and bring them to justice. If there is any resistance, they will be killed without mercy!" All the government officials responded in unison and were about to step forward to take action. Unexpectedly, five figures suddenly flew from behind and landed in front of the prefect. One of them said, "Master prefect, how about you let us take the lead for you?" When everyone saw, it was Deng Dan from Shunfeng Escort Agency and her master Xiao. Aunt Yue, senior sister Yunyan, Hong'er and Qing'er.
It turned out that after Liu Shui and others left the escort agency yesterday, Deng Dan asked Deng Wei to arrange for someone to follow them. Li Du came to Liu Shui's passenger ship early in the morning to ask for an audience, and someone went back to report Deng Wei. Deng Wei guessed that the government and Liu Shui and others were going to take action against the Boat Gang, so he called Deng Dan for discussion. Deng Dan felt that there was no need for Deng Wei to come forward in person, it would be enough for him, his master, and his senior sister to represent the escort agency. In this way, you can not only express your attitude in front of the government, but also avoid criticism of the escort agency. Deng Wei thought that this was the best of both worlds and immediately agreed.
When Deng Dan talked to his master, Aunt Xiaoyue had no objection. So Deng Dan and the other five people hurriedly left the escort agency and rushed to the boat gang. As soon as Deng Dan and others approached, they heard the order from the prefect, so they jumped up, passed over the heads of the government officials, and came to the front of the prefect.
When the prefect saw that it was Deng Dan, he was naturally overjoyed and said, "I'll help you guys!" Deng Dan and the other five men immediately turned around, drew out their swords, jumped up again, and attacked Li Wu and others. The incident happened suddenly, completely beyond Li Wu's expectation. Although Li Wu didn't know Xiaoyue and Yunyan, he was very familiar with Deng Dan. After all, they were both famous people in Yangzhou. As soon as Li Wu saw Deng Dan appear, he knew something was wrong. Not to mention Liu Shui and Lin Feng, even this Deng Dan's martial arts skills are not inferior to his own.
Seeing Deng Dan and others charging towards him, Zhao Heng roared angrily and stepped forward to block Deng Dan. The four guardians of Zhou, Wu and Zheng met Xiaoyue, Yunyan, Hong'er and Qing'er respectively. Deng Dan swung his sword in the air, and Zhao Heng raised his sword to parry. There was only a clanging sound, and Zhao Heng's machete was cut into two pieces by Deng Dan! The Qingshuang Sword in Deng Dan's hand is the same as the Purple Lightning Sword in Lin Feng's hand. They are both swords that can cut iron like clay. In addition, Deng Dan's internal strength is not weak, and Zhao Heng's hand is just an ordinary steel knife. If they cut each other twice, they would be broken by one cut.
Zhao Heng was shocked and quickly retreated. Seeing this, Li Wu casually waved his iron rod and threw it at Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng threw away the broken knife, reached out and caught the iron rod. Deng Dan had already chased him, and struck him with another sword. Zhao Heng did not dare to take a hard hit this time, so he ducked and counterattacked with his stick. Deng Dan sneered and raised his sword to meet him. The two of them went back and forth and fought together.
Deng Dan and Zhao Heng were indistinguishable for a while. Hong'er and Qing'er fought with the two guardians Zheng and Wang from the Boat Gang respectively, but there was no winner. Although Miss Yunyan is Deng Dan's senior sister, her martial arts skills are on par with hers. Yun Yan and Protector Wu exchanged several moves, but no one took advantage. Taoist Aunt Xiaoyue was Deng Dan's master, and was undoubtedly the strongest in martial arts among the five. She waved her whisk, like bursts of rushing rain, and poured it towards Protector Zhou in waves.
Although Protector Zhou was the strongest among the four Protectors in terms of martial arts, he was dwarfed by Aunt Xiaoyue's continuous and stormy attacks. After a few moves, his face had many scars and turned into a big painted face. The good-looking clothes on his body had turned into blood-stained rags. Protector Zhou was shocked. He didn't expect this Taoist nun to be so powerful in martial arts. After a few more moves, Protector Zhou couldn't resist anymore and wanted to retreat, but Taoist Sister Xiaoyue kicked the steel knife away from her hand, and then received a slap on the chest. Protector Zhou was immediately beaten several feet and fell to the ground.
Taoist Aunt Xiaoyue was about to step forward to take his life, but was intercepted and killed by Li Wu with his sword. Li Wu is the best in Yangzhou Boat Gang in Kung Fu, and his internal strength is as strong as that of Aunt Xiaoyue. Both of them are very powerful in Qinggong. You jump and I jump, they are their rivals. But in Li Wu's hand was a sword named Longquan. That is, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was jointly made by two great swordsmen, Ou Yezi and Ganjiang. The blade of this sword has flying dragon and seven-star patterns, and the decoration is very delicate. The Longquan sword is tough and sharp, its cold light is compelling, and it can cut iron like mud.
Li Wu relied on the sharpness of the Longquan Sword and quickly cut off many of the silver threads on Taoist Sister Xiaoyue's fly whisk. Seeing this, Aunt Xiaoyue had no choice but to avoid it as carefully as possible. As a result, Aunt Xiaoyue's martial arts would not be able to be used to its full potential. However, Taoist Aunt Xiaoyue was not at a disadvantage due to her high martial arts skills and rich fighting experience. Instead, she and Li Wu were inseparable.
Li Wu saw that he could not take down the Taoist nun for a while, and he was very anxious, because Lin Feng and Liu Shui were still watching him. Once they take action, I'm afraid all of them will die. Li Wu immediately let out a scream and called for the boat gang to come forward and besiege him. After all, there are nearly 400 people in the boat gang and only 200 people in the yamen. He could only hope to win this battle by relying on the strength of his numbers.
When the members of the Boat Gang heard the hall leader's order, they immediately shouted and divided into three groups to rush over. A group of about twenty or thirty people ran to the center to catch ten people who were fighting each other. They were divided into five groups to help Li Wu and the other five people. A group of about seventy or eighty people rushed towards Liu Shui, Lin Feng and others. The remaining three hundred people directly attacked the people in the Yamen. The reason why this last group had so many people was entirely because Li Wu believed that the government officials were the weakest and wanted to seize time to deal with this group of people.
Liu Shui originally thought that Li Wu would follow the rules of the world and would not use normal martial arts competitions to solve problems in broad daylight. However, he ordered the gang to participate in the fight, intending to use the crowd to bully the few. Liu Shui was furious when he saw this, and immediately said: "Third brother, Liangchen, Meijing, the three of you protect Lan'er, I will help them!" Liangchen said: "Master, Lan'er is watched by the two of us. , nothing will happen. Just be careful and deal with the leaders of them as soon as possible."
Liu Shui thought that with the protection of good times and beautiful scenery, it would be really difficult for these boat gang members with average martial arts skills to get close to Lan'er. Besides, as long as we capture Li Wu as soon as possible, we can end the fierce battle as soon as possible and reduce casualties. Liu Shui made up his mind, glanced at Lin Feng, and said, "Third brother, you go help Miss Deng, and I'll go help Taoist Aunt Xiaoyue!" As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them jumped up and rushed towards Li Wu respectively. and Zhao Heng.
Liu Shui waved his fan in the air, and a strong force suddenly hit Li Wu like a raging wave. Since leaving the capital, Liu Shui, Liangchen, and Meijing have been practicing every night. The internal strength of the three of them has greatly increased, especially Liu Shui's internal strength is stronger than before. At this moment, he went all out, and his power was naturally amazing. Li Wu was fighting fiercely with Taoist Priest Xiaoyue, when he suddenly felt a sharp force coming from above his head, and was shocked. Li Wu did not dare to take the attack forcefully, so he had to swing the Longquan Sword fiercely, forcing Taoist Priest Xiaoyue back first, and then flew backward to avoid Liu Shui's thunderous strike.
Seeing this, Liu Shui turned over in the air and continued to fly forward, while the folding fan pierced towards him. As soon as Li Wu's feet touched the ground, before he could stand firmly, he saw Liu Shui's folding fan stabbing him quickly. Li Wu was so frightened that he had no choice but to wave his sword to meet him. Only a "dang" sound was heard, and the swords and fans collided. Li Wu was immediately shaken and flew backwards. Fortunately, his martial arts was not weak. He turned over in the air and landed on the ground.
Liu Shui was not affected at all and fell to the ground. Liu Shui saw that his sword was shining with cold light, and his own folding fan was cut with a mark, so he knew that it was a rare sword.
