Chapter 69: Jade Heart Island
Yuxin Island is located in a reed area in the Lingyuan waters, where the river is longitudinal and horizontal, extending in all directions, and far away from the city, so it has long been a gathering place for water bandits from all walks of life.
The bandits hijacked the boats, got the goods, and usually traded here. Selling what you don't need, buying what you need, and sometimes buying and selling some news, which also gives birth to the profession of "black hand", specializing in intelligence trading, laundering goods, finding lost family heirlooms, and so on.
After sailing for two days, the Sanjiang Army came to Yuxin Island.
After getting off the boat, Su Shen said: "Let everyone go ashore, move freely, and return to the boat in a day." Zhao Xin, Haoli, Wu Xiao, the three of you are in charge of supervision, don't let those boys drink too much horse urine and come out to cause trouble, Tang Ming, Juanjia, Gangyan and Jiao Yinguang will go with me to ask for news, Wei Yang, Ma Xuan stay. ”
"Unlucky!" Hearing the news that he was going to stay, Wei Yang and Ma Xuan let out a sad sigh together.
But the fleet can't be left unwatched, someone has to do the job.
Here, Su Shen has already brought Tang Ming, Zhou Juanjia and Gangyan ashore.
Without revealing his true face, Su Shen put on his ghost mask.
Jiao Yinguang followed behind Su Shen and said in a low voice: "There are three most famous black hands on Yuxin Island, namely Tao Wuye, Long Gaosheng and Ghost Hand Zhang. Tao Wuye runs inns and wine shops on the island, and his tavern is the news gathering place. Long Gaosheng has an antique calligraphy and painting store, which is mainly responsible for collecting those black goods of antique calligraphy and painting. Ghost Hand Zhang has a casino, and in addition to a pawn shop, he takes everything. By the way, he is relying on those Qinghe nobles behind him. ”
Since he decided to surrender, he naturally had to surrender more thoroughly, and at this moment, without waiting for Su Shen to ask, Jiao Yinguang had already said what he knew.
"Are the Qinghe nobles the backers of Ghost Hand Zhang?, what about Tao Wuye and Long Gaosheng?" asked Su Shen.
"Tao Wuye hasn't heard of any backers, but he has a wide range of hands and knows a lot of people, so everyone sells his face here, as for Long Gaosheng, they are subordinates of the Heihe Army. ”
There are three main forces in Lingyuan Water Bandits, namely the Yushan Army, the Qingyuan Army and the Heihe Army, among which the Heihe Army is the strongest, it is said that there are as many as seven or eight in the Kaiyang Realm alone, and it may have also won the support of a Shaking Light Realm, so it is extremely arrogant on the river surface of Lingyuan Shuize, even the official army dares to fight.
The Yushan Army and the Qingyuan Army are also two

Not a small force, although I haven't heard that there is the support of the strong people who shake the light, but the two armies combined, the number of strong people in Kaiyang is quite a lot.
The most important thing is that they have a good relationship with the Qinghe nobles.
To be precise, the reason why the aristocratic alliance of Qinghe City was able to affect the waterway was because of the good relationship with these two big water bandits.
Of course, not all water bandits listen to them, and the Heihe army is said to have never dragged the Qinghe nobles, and often went out to rob. However, the Qinghe nobles' own fleet was not without protection, and the two sides had several disputes, and they won and lost each other.
Hearing Jiao Yinguang's words at this moment, Su Shen thought for a while and said, "Let's go, go to Tao Wuye and have a look." ”
According to Jiao Yinguang, Tao Wuye is a relatively neutral figure on Yuxin Island. For the first time, it is obviously a better choice to go to the neutral zone first.
When I arrived at the "Dow Wine Shop", I saw that it was full of high-rollers from various bandit armies, one by one holding the wine jar and drinking wildly.
On the counter of the liquor store, an old man with an unassuming appearance was pouring wine for several big men.
"That's Tao Wuye. Jiao Yinguang pointed to the old man who poured wine.
"Kaiyang is at the pinnacle, no wonder it can gain a firm foothold here. Su Shen blurted out.
The old man Tao, who was pouring wine for a few forging warriors, was a strongman at the peak of Kaiyang.
The old man's ears behind the counter moved, and he raised his eyes to look at Su Shen.
Su Shen's seemingly casual whisper did not hide from his ears. A smile appeared on the old man's furrowed face: "Young man, good eyesight, but the mouth is faster." ”
His voice was not loud, drowning in the noisy crowd, but Su Shen happened to be able to hear a few people, but the people nearby were deaf, but this control of the voice was wonderful.
At that moment, both of them were slightly taken aback at the same time.
Su Shen was certainly surprised by the old man's ability to control his voice, and Tao Wuye was also surprised by Su Shen's eyesight.
How to judge a person's cultivation is actually quite a test of eyesight. Different cultivation will have different temperament manifestations in people, for example, after cultivation reaches the Qi Induction Realm, it can attract the source force, and there will be looming source force fluctuations around. When you reach the Boiling Blood Realm, your own blood and qi will soar, and the power of your bloodline will overflow, and there will be hidden visions.
But all of this can be obscured.
Tao Wuye is on Yuxin Island
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
For many years, everyone knew that the old man's strength was unfathomable, but no one had ever accurately seen his cultivation background, and it was mostly based on analysis and speculation.
Like Su Shen, who saw through his cultivation at a glance, Tao Wuye had been on the island for so many years, and it was the first time he had encountered it.
He didn't know that Su Shen had the eye of source energy, and all the secrets related to source energy couldn't be hidden in front of his eyes.
At this moment, he said, "Young man, since you are here, come and sit down." ”
As he spoke, he took out a few cups and filled them up.
Su Shen was not polite, walked straight over, took a sip, frowned and put it down.
"Why, I'm afraid that this wine is poisonous and I don't dare to drink it?" asked Tao Wuye.
Su Shen shook his head: "If it's poisonous, I'll drink it." It's really too bad to drink. But it's worse than poisonous wine. ”
Tao Wuye was stunned, looked up and laughed: "Interesting, I haven't met such an interesting child for a long time." If you say so, if I don't bring out some good wine, I will do you a disservice. Come, taste this. ”
Another jar of wine was opened, and it was filled with Su Shen.
Su Shen took a sip and nodded: "This is a good wine." ”
But he put it down again.
"If it's good wine, why don't you drink it?"
"Wine is good wine, but the amount of soft and loose is too much, I can't stand it for a while, so I can only drink it slowly. ”
When Tao Wuye heard it, he couldn't close his eyes with a smile: "Sure enough, it's an interesting young man, no wonder Liu Ji's kid will be planted in your hands." ”
"Liu Ji?" Su Shen was stunned: "Who is Liu Ji?"
Jiao Yinguang leaned over: "It's the previous boss." ”
"Oh!" Su Shen suddenly realized.
Tao Wuye has opened a wine shop on Yuxin Island for many years, and the water bandits here are naturally known.
Jiao Yinguang is the second leader of the Sanjiang Army, but now he is honestly following behind Su Shen, and at a glance, he knows that he has changed his master. In addition, the ship of the Sanjiang Army had just returned, and it was not necessary to think about it to know what was happening.
Su Shen tapped on the counter and said, "If you lick blood from the knife edge, how can you not plant it." Liu Ji has fallen, but the Sanjiang Army has not fallen, I hope that Tao Wuye will not have any prejudice against us. ”
"That's nature. Tao Wuye smiled and said: "It's a business when you come, so I don't know what to call this new master?"
