Chapter 40: The Pavilion of the Storm IV

Taicang County has always been a rich place, because of its special geographical location close to the mouth of the Yangtze River, people in the rivers and lakes regard this place as a piece of fat, you know, if anyone controls this piece of power, whether it is ** or Baidao, will be afraid of three points, because you occupy this area, it means that you have money security, who will not be afraid of a rich person?

Therefore, on the north and south banks of the entire Yangtze River estuary, a large number of rivers and lakes are secretly hoarded, and the two families of the Tianlong Gang Wulin League are the largest forces here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the fifteenth day of April, the sky was pouring rain, the streets were deserted, however, the Fenglai Restaurant in Taicang County, it was a different scene, it was very lively here, no, it should not be described as lively, it should be fierce, the two sides were fighting inextricably, there were shouts from time to time in the restaurant, no one dared to approach, people knew what was going on in their hearts, such a fight was not uncommon here, at least in their impression, there were already a lot, but they felt that it was still too peaceful here, as long as they did not participate in it, and waited until the fight was over, this was a good after-dinner conversation for them, no, not after dinner, because they have already begun to talk, smiling, but not shocked in the slightest.

In a tavern opposite Fenglai Restaurant, there are a few people hiding inside and talking quietly.

I only heard one person: "This group of people has been fighting for nearly half an hour!"

Another person said: "More than that, I estimate that it has been an hour, I don't know what happened inside"

Another said: "Although the door is closed, I know that the fight is definitely not over at this time, and I don't think it will be finished in another half an hour!" he said with certainty, as if he knew this kind of fight very well.

"Hehe, don't brag! You know, the master has made a move, and the victory or defeat is all in an instant!" said one of them sarcastically.

"Hey, look at you, you look like you're a martial arts master," the other laughed as well.

"Who said I wasn't, I thought I was invincible all over the world back then!" the man said seriously.

"Oh, it's time like this, you still have the heart to laugh, I think the store will be demolished if you fight again!" said an older man anxiously.

It turned out that these people were the shopkeeper and shopkeeper who escaped from Fenglai Restaurant, they were worried about the restaurant, and they didn't dare to approach, so they could only hide here.

"I said shopkeeper, it's not the first time you've met, like last time, there are more people fighting than this time!"

"That's right, shopkeeper, isn't our restaurant getting hotter and hotter, and more and more people are coming to eat!" said the second shopkeeper.

"Go back and spend some money to decorate it, put on a signboard, it will definitely be more famous than now, hehe!" Xiao Er of the other shop laughed.

"Yes, I said you're a shopkeeper, why haven't you thought about it yet?" said the tavern shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper thought about it, it made sense, smiled slightly, and felt a lot more relieved, but when he saw his store destroyed, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and suddenly smiled and turned sad, very entangled.

Over there, it's hot, and here, it's hot, it's hot, and it's a special meaning. However, in the same teahouse, he also witnessed the fight, but he was not chatting, his expression was solemn, and he seemed to be more nervous than the shopkeeper.

At this time, a person walked into the tavern, it was an old woman, she carried a burden, an umbrella, it seemed that she came to hide from the rain, the shopkeeper saw that the business was coming, and wanted to stop picking up customers, but the old woman not only did not order, but chatted with them.

On the second floor of the tavern, there are only three people here, facing the Fenglai Restaurant by the window, there are two people, a man and a woman, one long and one young, the man's hair is snow-white, looking out of the window and drinking by himself, the woman, the beautiful one, the expressionless face, neither drinking, nor looking out of the window, nor talking, only looking at the person in front of him, in the corner on the other side, there is also a person lying on his stomach, he is wearing a hat, as if drunk.

Suddenly, there seemed to be shouting from the riverside, and it was getting louder and louder.

Suddenly, the entire Taicang county seemed to be lively, people with umbrellas, and came out in the rain to see the excitement, but they didn't seem to be running to Fenglai Restaurant, but running towards the direction of the wharf and ferry by the river.

On the street, I heard only one person shouting while running: "Fighting, fighting, fighting at the dock and warehouse"

Then people came over and quickly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Hit... Fight, fight, two... The two factions are fighting each other, and the blood is flowing like a river!" The man gasped and said, out of breath.

"Oh yes, my goods are still in the warehouse!" said a merchant-like man, anxiously, and wanted to hurry there.

The man grabbed him and said, "Oh, hey, don't you go now, I just escaped from there, aren't you going to die now?"

"How many people are there? I hear shouting here," said one of the people in the crowd.

"There were hundreds of people! What a shocking scene!" the man sighed.

"I don't know what Jianghu sects are fighting for territory this time!" said one person.

"I've heard that our treasure land is a place where people in the rivers and lakes will fight!" another person said.

"If we fight like this every day, then we won't be miserable!" said another.

"Why doesn't the government take care of it?" asked one of them.

"Are you stupid? Not to mention the government, even the imperial court is difficult to manage!" said another.

"What about my goods?" said the merchant again.

"Why are you still stunned, go and report to the official, if the government is willing to send someone, maybe you can scare them away" One person came up with an idea.

The merchant heard this, and hurried to report to the officer.

"Everyone is scattered, what should you do, stay at home and don't come out, this is not something that we ordinary people can manage," one person said.

Then, the crowd slowly dispersed again.

"Alas... The rivers and lakes are in turmoil!" The man shook his head, and walked slowly.

The small county town of Taicang suddenly quieted down again.

The rain is still falling, but it is much lighter than before, and the wind is much lighter, but it is still not quiet, maybe when you are in the rivers and lakes, it is destined to not be very peaceful.

The tavern opposite Fenglai Restaurant is still those few people.

Upstairs, the man by the window, drinking wine, said with a smile: "Let's fight, let's fight, let's fight more fiercely, Xiaoyun, you see, this prosperous and rich Taicang County will soon be our world!"

However, the girl did not speak, still with the same expression, still sitting like that, motionless, obviously clicked on the acupoint.

Suddenly, the man smiled again, "You've been drunk for so long, you should wake up!" Who was he talking to? There were two of them and someone else here? Yes, there was one more, the drunkard who had been sleeping in the corner.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the drunkard actually sat up, but still did not speak.

"You've been waiting for me since I first came in!" said the man.

"Actually, I'm with you, but you're at the door and I'm at the window, so I'm one step ahead of you," said the drunk.

"Oh, really, you've been following me for so long, and I really haven't noticed," the man said.

"It's that the Lord of the Screaming Heaven Gate is too happy to pay attention," the drunken man said.

It turned out that the two people in this tavern were Xiaotian and Leng Yunxi.

"Indeed, today is a good day," Xiao Tian smiled.

"But isn't it good to use others for your own happiness?" said the drunk.

Xiaotian looked at Fenglai Restaurant and said: "They should have been replaced, no matter how good the sword is, if it is blunt, it should be replaced with a new one, they should be happy, at least it has played the last role, and it should be relieved, this is the killer."

"Killer?" and then, the drunkard fell silent, not speaking, perhaps he was lamenting.

"What about you, what is your purpose?" Xiao Tian asked.

He was still silent.

Xiaotian said: "You didn't come for me, otherwise you would have done it a long time ago, so you are here for Xiaoyun, so you should be ......"

I saw that the drunk slowly took off the hat and said softly: "That's right, I am Mo Xiaotian" Sure enough, who else could it be if it wasn't Mo Xiaotian?

"You want Xiaoyun, Kang Jinlong also wants Xiaoyun, hehe, Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, you are really my baby! It's a pity, do you think you can beat me?" Xiaotian said.

"I want to try!" Mo Xiaotian said.

"Hehe! Come on!" Xiao Tian smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Mo Xiaotian's eyes tightened, and he kicked the Eight Immortals Table towards Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and took it, and suddenly, the Eight Immortals Table "clicked" and cracked a thin slit.

Xiao Tian smiled slightly and said, "Give it back to you" as he spoke, and pushed it over with one palm.

Mo Xiaotian didn't think much about it, he directly drew his sword and slashed the entire table with one sword.

Xiao Tian smiled slightly and said: "Xingchen Sword" As soon as the words fell, at that moment, Xiao Tian suddenly flew forward, and the speed was no less than that of a ghost bat, floating to Mo Xiaotian's side like a gust of wind.

Mo Xiaotian was shocked in his heart, he didn't react, he just wanted to raise his hand to get out of the sword, Xiaotian stretched out his hand and pressed it like this, and actually pressed Mo Xiaotian's hand out of the sword, Mo Xiaotian knew that something was wrong, so he wanted to leave, but Xiaotian grabbed it with his left hand, and pulled Mo Xiaotian back, Mo Xiaotian wanted to raise his foot and kick it again, but this Xiaotian seemed to have seen it a long time ago, as soon as he raised his foot, Xiaotian raised his foot at the same time, and blocked it again, and then no matter how Mo Xiaotian struggled, Xiaotian's hands were tightly wrapped around him, and he couldn't move at all, Mo Xiaotian was suddenly angry, roared, and exerted all the strength of his body, and Xiaotian was first shocked back half a step, seemed to be startled, and then smiled slightly, It was also full of internal force, and he forcibly suppressed Mo Xiaotian, so that Mo Xiaotian still couldn't get out, his hands were firmly locked by Xiaotian, and he couldn't move, although the Xingchen Sword was in his hand, he had an advantage, but he couldn't help but be extremely angry, and his face was flushed.

At this time, a voice came, "This golden snake is not something that can be got rid of with only internal force," and then, a figure slowly walked upstairs.

Mo Xiaotian was suddenly shocked in his heart, because this person appeared suddenly, and he didn't feel the slightest feeling at all, maybe it was because the two of them fought hard and didn't pay attention.

At this time, Xiaotian seemed to be very surprised, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and at the moment when Xiaotian turned his head, he saw Mo Xiaotian shouting, taking advantage of Xiaotian's distraction, once again exerting all his internal strength, and suddenly jumped backwards, getting rid of Xiaotian.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian was not angry, but just smiled slightly.

Mo Xiaotian seemed to be very annoyed, loosened his wrist that had been caught, and looked at Xiao Tian again, so sharp, if his eyes could kill, I am afraid that Xiao Tian would have died a long time ago.

"Oh, young man, it's very good, just give you a little chance to get out," the old woman smiled.

"Thank you, mother-in-law," Mo Xiaotian said. At this time, Mo Xiaotian had time to look at people carefully, looked up, and saw that the person who came was an old woman, dressed in a purple robe, with a kind face, Mo Xiaotian looked at it for a long time, because he clearly seemed to be familiar, and seeing that both of them were looking at her, he smiled slightly, and found a place to sit down.

"Old woman, I didn't expect even you to come" Xiaotian said, listening to this, it is obvious that the two have known each other for a long time.

"Hehe, if I don't come, won't your plot succeed?" the old woman laughed.

"Oh, it looks like you're not here for him," Xiaotian said.

"Yes, I am here for you," said the old woman again.

"The gang leader sent you?" Xiao Tian said.

"Yes, and he himself came," said the old woman.

Hearing this, Xiao Tian seemed to be shocked and said, "What?

"Of course, you're the master of the Howling Heavens, who won't come?" the old woman seemed to be sarcastic.

The two of them were talking about happiness, but Mo Xiaotian was in the clouds and couldn't understand the conversation between the two.

"What about him, his warehouse has been destroyed by me," roared Howling.

"Hehe, you underestimate us too much, we Tianlong Gang can still afford this loss," the old woman said again.

At this time, Mo Xiaotian's heart tightened, and he suddenly thought of something, that's right, this old woman is the old woman he met in Wudang at the beginning, the one who assassinated the head of Taixu, black **, can't be wrong, it's her.

"So you did it on purpose?" said Xiao Tian.

"No, it's really unexpected that you can attack the warehouse, but we are protecting the ferryman, as long as the ferryman is okay, what are these warehouses?" said the black **.

"Oh, who the hell is this ferryman?" asked Xiaotian.

"Hearing what you say, didn't you already know that the person in Fenglai Restaurant was not a ferryman?"

"Nonsense, the purpose of this time was originally your eleven warehouses, and they were just bait to divert the tiger from the mountain," Xiaotian roared.

"Then you are really willing, such a good bait is not distressing!" said Hei** again.

"Don't be long-winded, who the hell is the ferryman?" roared Xiao Tian, seemingly impatient.

"Hehe, actually, I'm the ferryman" Hei** laughed.

"You're a ferryman?" Xiaotian seemed surprised.

"Why, isn't it like that?" laughed black**.

"And what about what you sent?" Xiao Tian asked.

"Of course, it's already been handed over to the helper," said the black **.

"When? how can you have a chance if we're keeping such an eye on us today?" Xiao Tian asked.

"Didn't you say that the purpose of this time was only eleven warehouses?" asked the black **.

"Hehe! Okay, I'll tell you all the plans, in fact, there are three plans this time, first, use them as bait to divert the tiger from the mountain" said and pointed to Fenglai Restaurant, obviously he was talking about Tan Lang and others.

"And the second?"

"Second, it is to take the opportunity to destroy your 11 warehouses along the Yangtze River and pull out your power in the Yangtze River, which is also the main purpose of this time," Xiaotian said.

"This third must be to take the opportunity to seize the ferryman's treasure map!" said the black **.

"That's right, it's just, I never thought that you would ferryman, I'm afraid you have really changed hands on this treasure map," Xiaotian said.

"Yes, in fact, the box they escorted contained a treasure map, but the task you gave them seemed to be to assassinate the ferryman, hehe!"

Hearing this, Mo Xiaotian was stunned, it turned out that Tan Lang and the others had always been just a bait.

The rivers and lakes are too sinister, the hearts of the people are too dark, we can't extricate ourselves in the rivers and lakes, no matter how good we are to others, maybe in the end, you are just a bait thrown by others, in this interests of the rivers and lakes, who dares to guarantee not to be betrayed, not to be hurt?
