I rushed out of the door, not because I was not chivalrous, but because I was self-aware. The four thieves of Taihu Lake are not terrible, but the powerful thing is the Nangong family behind him. The Nangong family is one of the four great families, and it is also the largest sect south of the Yangtze River.

When I was learning the art of stealing the Holy Gate, the first senior brother repeatedly warned me that it was something that chivalrous people had to do when they saw injustice, and we disciples of the Holy Gate had always accepted it when we saw it.

Nosy has another name for dying fast.

There are so many injustices in the world that even the leaders of the martial arts alliance can't manage it, let alone us?

I'm afraid of trouble, but trouble comes unexpectedly.

I rode all the way and arrived at Luoshui on the second day.

After passing Luoshui, he went out of the sphere of influence of the four thieves of Taihu Lake. A few days ago, when the Japanese were in turmoil, in order to stop the Japanese invaders, the overboard pontoon bridge was destroyed, and now the new bridge has not been repaired, and the only way to cross the Luoshui is to rely on ferries.

The ship departs every hour, and pedestrians from the north and south come here, even if there is an emergency, they can only wait in line. Fortunately, there are three or five tea shops on the bank of Luoshui for travelers to rest, and these pedestrians are not bored, but spend one or twenty yuan to ask for a bowl of tea, waiting for the next ship to come.

Tea is not a good tea, just a common large-leaf tea on the market.

The water is good water, there is Mengshan Mountain in the upper reaches of Luoshui, the snow is covered all the year round, and now in summer, the snow melts, forming a waterhole under the mountain, and the water quality is sweet. It is said that these merchants go to the waterhole early in the morning to draw water, and then pick it up to sell it, and sell a bowl of tea for ten or twenty yuan, making some money.

Half an hour before the next ship departed, I asked for a pot of tea, sat down on a small bench, and chatted with the shop owner while drinking tea. When the shopkeeper saw me dressed in a short shirt, he asked, "Is the guest officer a man from the rivers and lakes?"

When I heard this, I thought for a moment and said, I can be regarded as half a person in the rivers and lakes.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, this is weird, yes, no, no, how can you be considered half of the people in the rivers and lakes?

I laughed, to be honest, I am actually a public person, but the errand matter is related to the rivers and lakes, so it is not an exaggeration to call half a Jianghu person.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, I see, these days, in addition to the traveling merchants who go south from Luoshui Ferry, most of them are people in the rivers and lakes, so the little old man took the liberty to ask, don't be surprised. Xiao Lao'er still has some good wine, I don't know if I want a pot?

I saw that it was not easy for him to make a living outside, so I took out a piece of broken silver, and took out a water bladder for him, and helped me fill it up, and drank it on the way.

The store received the money, was in a good mood, and talked more: Is there going to be a big event in the rivers and lakes recently?

I said how do you know.

The shopkeeper smiled, although the little old man sells tea and wine here, but there are many customers in the rivers and lakes, and he also hears some from gossip. It is said that the leader of the martial arts alliance issued an order from the leader of the alliance, calling on all major sects in the rivers and lakes to crusade against what god cult, and today counting you, it is already the third batch. In my opinion, these people in the rivers and lakes are full of food and support, such as today's peace, such a good kung fu, and two arms, one can do crop work can top several, but they don't learn well, they fight and kill everywhere, why bother?

I was silent, and from his point of view, it was not wrong to think so. But the affairs of the rivers and lakes are not something that the people of Shengdou can understand.

In this river and lake, some people want to be famous, some people are greedy for wealth and money, some people want to dominate the martial arts, and some people are full of hatred, but it is precisely because of this that the entire rivers and lakes are gorgeous. If those young chivalrous men really let go of their ambitions and pick up hoes and sickles, then the rivers and lakes will not be rivers and lakes.

I smiled and said, the swords and soldiers are in storage, the horses are put in Nanshan, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, which is really good. But a good man is ambitious in all directions, fresh clothes and angry horses, fighting swords in the world, this kind of day is too charming, and it is not something that ordinary people can resist.

At this time, I heard a young man say, shopkeeper, come to a pot of wine.

When I looked up, I saw a young swordsman riding a donkey walking in, sitting on a bench next to me, and casually placing his sword on the coffee table. It's not so much a sword, but a few pieces of wood sandwiched between a piece of iron, and there is not even a scabbard, which looks like it has a fight with the broken sword that sealed thousands of miles.

The shopkeeper brought a dime of wine and said with a smile, guest officer, a total of thirty wen.

The young swordsman took out the money bag from his arms, fumbled for a long time, took out a handful of copper coins, and looked at the shopkeeper with a sincere face, Can you ask for half a pot? The shopkeeper glanced at the young man, hesitated for a moment, and said, "That's it, I'll charge you ten cents."

But the young swordsman refused, saying that I only had money for half a pot of wine, so I could only buy half a pot.

When I saw the young swordsman's sword eyebrows, I had a good impression, so I said, I'll invite this pot of wine, so I threw the wine bag full of wine on my table and threw it over. The swordsman didn't look at it, grabbed it in the air, caught the wine sac, and then threw it back, saying that Li Changling never accepted handouts from others.

It turned out that his name was Li Changling, and I thought the name was somewhat familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had heard it.

I thought this young man was funny, and said, this little brother, as soon as you and I fall in love at first sight, this wine is just for me to invite you, it is better to make friends.

The young swordsman said, Li Changling has no friends.

I said in my heart that this man is really strange, but he is like this, and I can't say anything more, and I don't force it.

Li Changling took half a pot of wine, poured out a cup, took a deep breath, raised the cup and drank it all, but did not put it down, and waited until the last drop of wine dripped into his mouth, and there was a crisp sound in his throat, and then he put down the wine cup, looking intoxicated.

Every drop of wine is tasted with heart, so after three or four cups, he is still unsatisfied, and he breathes a deep sigh of relief and says, good wine. When the wine jug bottomed out, he turned the wine jug upside down, but only poured half a glass of wine in the last cup, put it in front of his face, sniffed it, but was reluctant to drink it.

A few fast horses sounded, and not far away, more than a dozen horsemen rushed towards the ferry.

The shopkeeper got up and took a look, and hurriedly said, the two guest officers, are about to close.

I said it's only noon, why are you in such a hurry?

The shopkeeper hurriedly packed up his things, and said, these people are good men on Taihu Lake, they come every five or six days, and they play tea around, if they don't close the stall, my business will be in vain today. As he spoke, he put away the coffee table and tea set.

In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so fast horses came to the tea shop. The person who took the lead was the four thieves of Taihu Lake who were beaten by me last night, and with him, there was an old man, who had a long beard and chest, and his eyes were like electricity, and he was obviously a master of the house.

Iron Head Gongdao, Elder Nangong, this Luoshuidu is the place where those people must pass through when they go south, I have already sent people to guard here, you can rest assured, this time I will definitely not let those people from the Lingnan Sword Sect escape from our territory.

The tea shop shopkeeper even got up, a few old men, not long ago, the little old man just paid the tea money.

Tie Tougong waved his hand and said that there is nothing for you to do here. Zhao Lingxiao, did you see a group of people crossing the river today? Among them is a stunning woman.

The shopkeeper sneered and said, "Master, there are three or four people in the rivers and lakes in the past today, but there are no women."

When the Nangong elder heard this, he took a closer look at the shopkeeper, and the old man hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, uncle, if you meet these people, the little old man will definitely report to you."

These people were outside the tea shop, because I had my back to them, Tie Tougong did not find me, and said to himself, Elder Nangong, this old man surnamed Zhao, the peach blossom wine brewed is not bad, it is better to sit down and have a drink first, we are here to wait for the rabbit. The surname Zhao, why are you still stunned, don't you bring good wine?

Seeing that the four thieves in Taihu Lake did not mean to charge protection money, the shopkeeper opened a coffee table, stretched out his hand and wiped it with his sleeve, and said, "A few uncles, please take a seat."

Elder Nangong was like a great enemy, he refused to sit down, looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously, and asked, Your name is Zhao Lingxiao?

The shopkeeper said that this was Xiao Lao'er's previous name, and now he is called Zhao Si.

Elder Nangong asked, what did you do before?

The shopkeeper Zhao Si sighed and said, in the past, I have forgotten all the previous things, I only remember that I provoked a powerful enemy back then, and was forced to look at the peach garden for a few years, and then provoked his apprentice.

Tie Tougong said Elder Nangong, what are you polite to this guy, this old immortal is very cowardly, and he is bullied everywhere, if I didn't cover him, he wouldn't even be able to eat, don't you say?

Zhao Si nodded hurriedly, thank you for taking care of the eldest man over the years, otherwise the little old man would have starved to death several times.

Elder Nangong said to Tie Tougong, this Mr. Zhao is really pitiful, don't beat him in the future.

Tietou Gong couldn't understand, Elder Nangong, this rule can't be abolished?

Elder Nangong said coldly, are you practicing Iron Head Gong?

Oh, yes.

Elder Nangong said, then I'll give you a suggestion, find a blacksmith shop and get a stronger helmet, otherwise your head is not hard enough.

At this time, King Kong's leg found me, rubbed up, but the leg injury was not healed, fluttered and sat down again, boom, broke a stool, boss, it's that kid!

Only then did Tie Tougong discover me, it's really a narrow road.

I stood up, laughed, and said that this road is not narrow, you see a big river with wide waves......

Elder Nangong glanced at me, do you know?

Tie Tougong said, Elder Nangong, this kid is the guy who attacked us yesterday, if it weren't for him, that little girl from the Lingnan Sword Sect would have been caught by us a long time ago.

I thought in my heart, if it is the four thieves of Taihu Lake, I am not afraid of them, but this old guy surnamed Nangong should be a first-class figure of the Nangong family, if it really fights, I am afraid that the odds of winning are not high, I look left and right to see if there is a way to escape.

King Kong Legs' eyes were full of anger, and he pointed at me and said, you kid has a kind of crime, and you dare to appear swaggeringly in our territory, if I don't kill you today, I will be sorry for my invincible King Kong Legs.

I knew that I couldn't escape at this time, no matter what, I had offended the Nangong family, anyway, I had a life, this King Kong leg was sent to the door, I wanted to take advantage of it, so I said, do you dare to fight with me?

King Kong sneered, make your spring and autumn dreams, there has been a group fight on the rivers and lakes recently.

Li Changling, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly stood up and said, I found that the people in the rivers and lakes south of the Yangtze River are becoming more and more shameless.
