Zhong Sun Liang suddenly appeared and asked Li Xiaomei, as soon as Li Xiaomei saw that it was Zhong Sun Liang on the boat, she couldn't help but be happy at first, but when she heard about her mother, her expression darkened, and she replied sadly: "Uncle Liang, my mother is sick." Last night, Chengniang fell asleep and caught this bit of crab, and after the next night, the fat was a little indebted. I sold it twice at noon, but it didn't sell. I saw your ship passing by today, and I didn't expect it to be the boat that greeted Uncle Liang in the alliance, which was really good luck. I don't know if there are other guests on this ship except Uncle Liang, Uncle Liang helped persuade the knight to take the boat, give as much as you want, accommodate some food, buy it, I still have to give my mother medicine, it will not be easy to sell tomorrow. ”

September is the time when the fish and shrimp are fat, and the best river crab paste is full of meat fat, and it is at that time, although it has been overnight, it does not owe much, and it is the same fresh and fat.

Zhongsun Liang laughed and said: "Where is the need to greet the distinguished guests on the ship, Uncle Liang will help buy all the ...... here" As he spoke, he took out an ingot of twenty taels of silver from his arms, and said directly: "Leave all the crabs, hurry up and take the silver to buy medicine for your mother......" After speaking, he was going to stuff the silver to that Li Xiaomei.

Knowing that Li Xiaomei's face turned red, and then she shook her head stiffly and said, "Don't, don't." I have already been taken care of by Uncle Liang before, and I owe a lot of silver taels, how can I take advantage of Uncle Liang. If Uncle Liang wants to help spread the word, he will spread it, if he insists on buying crabs, the little sister will not dare to sell this crab to Uncle Liang......"

As soon as she had finished speaking, the little girl pulled off the hook and left the boat.

Zhong Sun Liang hurriedly stopped with a smile, and was about to go back to discuss with Wan Guotai and others. I heard Jiang Shuihan, the leader of the Young League at the stern of the boat, say: "Uncle Liang invites this girl to come on the boat, I'll buy her crab!"

Zhong Sun Liang hurriedly responded, turned back and whispered downward, "Little sister, you are here." Our Young Alliance Master is on the boat. All of them were his righteous brothers, not only young and promising, but also righteous people. Hook your boat back to save it from being broken. Come up quickly, tell people about your mother and daughter's bitterness, not only do a good business, maybe this old man will be very kind, and he will have to help you!"

When the little girl heard this, she hesitated a little before replying, "Thank you for your help." ”

With that, he found a pair of straw sandals from the hole in the boat. Put it on your feet. With the oars in both hands, he paddled to the back of the boat. Re-hook the boat.

The brothers had just turned around and sat down, and before they could say a few words, the little girl had already come aboard the boat from the back of the boat. As the disciples of the Great River League walked up to the back cabin, holding two baskets in their hands, looking at a boatload of young knights, a little restrained, they made a blessing gift, and each shouted auspicious words such as "Wanfu" and "Jin'an".

When Jiang Shui came over, he ordered the disciples of the Great Jiang League to take the crab basket to the back first, and asked the little girl to sit down and talk. The little girl thanked: "The young league master is here, how dare I sit? I have to go back early to serve my mother and take medicine." ”

On the other side, everyone felt that this little girl was born beautiful and extraordinary. I couldn't imagine that such a poor family could have such a beautiful daughter from a water town, and they all regretted it, and at the same time, looking at Wan Guotai's appearance, they all knew that he had intentions in his heart, so they all wanted to match the two.

Everyone looked at each other, and Jiang Shuihan replied when he heard this: "It's rare for a little sister to be so filial. I am very pitiful when I see that you are young, driving a small boat alone to haunt the waves, and my mother is sick, and I want to do you a little favor when I talk to you for a while, and then ask someone to send you back to see your mother, or I can think of a way for you to make a long-term idea. You are so anxious to go back, presumably your mother is seriously ill. There are two hundred taels of silver here, some of which are considered to be the money to buy crabs, and some of which are regarded as the foil of the Great River League to take care of their own families. Since you know Uncle Liang, I will ask Uncle Liang to escort you back, and at the same time ask Uncle Liang to invite a good doctor to your family, so that all the expenses caused by Lingtang's illness will be paid by the alliance...... I know that you have a stubborn personality and don't want to be favored, but you are optimistic that Lingtang's illness is a big deal, so don't be willful. If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell Uncle Liang the truth, we will help you. ”

In a word, the little girl who said it was full of tears, and she pursed her mouth to thank Wan Fuquan.

Meng Yuanyun and the others saw that Jiang Shuihan didn't ask about the situation in other people's homes, especially whether they didn't ask about marriage and other topics, they all scratched their ears and cheeks anxiously, but after Jiang Shuihan said this, he waved his hand, and the little girl immediately retreated under the leadership of the disciples of the Great River League.

Seeing the people retreating, Meng Yuanyun couldn't help but hurriedly say: "I said the eighth, why are you patronizing the prestige of shaking your young alliance leader, but you forget about the matter of the eldest brother and ignore it?"

Wan Guo Tai was speechless.

Jiang Shuihan smiled and didn't answer, but it was Ye Qingxuan who said: "We have so many men here, how can we be embarrassed to ask a daughter's family? Isn't there a good uncle here, the specific situation Uncle Liang knows, this time trouble Uncle Liang, go to the girl's home to talk to her family in detail, and talk about this intention, if the girl's family thinks it's good, and the girl doesn't object, let's find a matchmaker, the dowry should be given, and the family should be determined......

Marriage in a peasant family has always been simple, it has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, and after these are done, and the girl is not so opposed, the marriage is basically done.

Wan Guotai was happy in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was obsessed with martial arts in his life, although he met the girl he liked, but he must not waste his future because of this incident, so he hurriedly waved his hand to stop: "No, no, no, don't be like this, brothers...... I still have to play chivalrous rivers and lakes with my brothers in my life, how can I stop practicing martial arts because of my children's personal feelings!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Ye Qingxuan said with a smile: "Big brother, even if you have a family, it will not delay your martial arts practice." You must know that in this world, only the probability of having children will increase greatly if the master in the acquired state will have children, once he enters the congenital and introverted, it will be even more difficult to have children. Don't you see that some innate masters are in their teens before they have such a son and a half daughter? So now that you have this opportunity, you might as well marry a wife and have children, and if you have offspring, you can concentrate on martial arts and follow us to the world......"

When Wan Guotai heard the same, he was surprised and couldn't make a sound.

Everyone coaxed together: "In this way, it will be handed over to Uncle Liang, let's wait for the good news......"

Zhongsun Liang received the order. also chased Li Xiaomei out of the cabin with a smile and went to do these unexpected joys.

The other brothers had such a big happy event, and they all laughed all the way, and went directly to the general altar of the Dajiang League.

The general altar of the Great River League is in Cuitong Mountain on the south bank of the Rolling Dragon River. A wide harbor under the foothills,

The general altar of the Great River League, Juyi Hall, is built in the middle of the mountainside of Cuitong Mountain, the shape is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Nearly 30,000 gangs and hundreds of thousands of family members live in the lowlands along the coast, and they are lively and peaceful. Casinos, brothels and restaurants are lined up, and vendors are gathered, making it better than a bustling metropolis. and as if he were kings of the land.

At that time, the general altar of the Great River League was just a small fishing village under Cuitong Mountain. Fewer than 2,000 fishermen make a living from fishing. Later, the fishing source was scarce and the population was large, so most of the fishermen organized themselves to go to the port of Tonglu City to work as porters. Later, because various fishing villages of the same power also had porters to grab business, they each formed a group and established an early gang, which continued to fight every day.

Later, with the birth of Jiang Shuihan's father Jiang Tao, with the martial arts learned in his early years, he led the fishermen from his hometown to subdue several wharf forces and establish the identity of the overlord. As a result, Jiang Tao not only won the support of his subordinates. also made those different forces completely convinced, Jiang Tao struck while the iron was hot, directly established the Dajiang League, registered the official gang, and became a gang force.

However, in the early days, because the Dajiang League was the foundation of the fishermen, its armed forces were weak, and it has always been the target of oppression by other local gangs.

But money can make the devil grind. This money can also promote the prosperity and development of a region.

With the huge profits brought by the familiar business, not only the power of the Great River Alliance has skyrocketed, but the original small fishing village under Cuitong Mountain has also become extremely prosperous. Jiang Tao is not a loss of Jiang Shuihan's father, the mind is extremely smart, in the past few years, under the southern expedition to the north, has been completely under the influence of Tonglu City, its influence by rolling the east and west of the Longjiang River, especially the advantage of connecting the river directly into the sea, business almost throughout the Central Plains. Trafficking in ripe and barbarian specialties, and engaging in various trades, sitting on the ground and distributing fertilizer, generally helping people have rich family property, not to mention figures above the boss level.

Knowing that the leader of the Young League was back, the whole Dajiang League was full of lights and celebrations.

Jiang Tao took Meng Dahai and other old knowledge of the former Jingnancheng officer system, and led more than a dozen masters recruited by the old and new Great Jiangmeng to stand on the largest pier at the foot of Cuitong Mountain in the wind, and the single-sloop, double-decker passenger ship with a solemn expression slowly approached.

At this time, it was just four o'clock in the afternoon, the blue waves on the river were rippling, and all the ships of the Great River Alliance were far away from the other docks, only the dock here was specially opened for the return of the young alliance master.

With the sound of "rumbling", the passenger ship docked.

A wooden ladder came down from the deck and rested on the floor of the pier.

At that moment, the disciples of the Great River League walked up to tow the rope for the passenger ship.

In a hearty laugh, several young men with different but extraordinary temperaments walked down from the boat.

When Jiang Shuihan's slender and straight figure, handsome as a daughter's face, calmly stepped down the ladder, the crowd standing on the dock cheered in unison at the same time, welcoming the return of the young alliance master of the Great River League.

Jiang Taolang laughed, hurried to meet him, Jiang Shuihan didn't dare to lose his etiquette, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "My son has returned from afar, and my father has been waiting for a long time." ”

Jiang Tao nodded with satisfaction, helped Jiang Shuihan and said, "My son doesn't have to be like this, my father is very happy to see you come back......

Then he turned to Ye Qingxuan and the others and bowed his hand and said, "Hahaha, I heard that a few little brothers are coming, Jiang Mou has prepared a little wine to entertain you, and please appreciate your face!"

Everyone hurriedly bowed down and fulfilled the courtesy of the juniors.

Jiang Tao laughed and patted his shoulders affectionately, and when he saw that he was as strong as a flower, he was even more surprised to shout a few times to show his majesty, and when he saw Ye Qingxuan in a Taoist robe again, his eyes immediately lit up, and his gratitude was overflowing.

Jiang Shuihan is his only son, the problem brought out of his mother's womb, born disabled, I didn't expect to worship this righteous brother and his fortune reversed, not only the fate of his son was reversed, but he also saw him, and the fate of the entire Dajiang League was reversed, it can even be said that if there was no Ye Qingxuan, there would be no Dajiang League today, no his son Jiang Shuihan today, and no Jiang Tao today.

In the face of such a benefactor, how could Jiang Tao not be extremely courteous.

On the shore, the disciples of the Great River League stood in two rows on the left and right, stretching out from the dock and passing through the rows of houses. A long road that winds its way to Juyi Hall halfway up the mountain.

These disciples of the Dajiang League are all young men in their twenties, standing up straight with their chests folded and holding colorful flags in their hands, and they have the demeanor of strict discipline in the army. At the same time, Ye Qingxuan was full of qi and blood, Ye Qingxuan just listened with his ears, and from the way his qi and blood flowed, he knew that these young disciples had all practiced the [Huashan Heart Method], and many of them were successful in building a foundation and had extraordinary potential.

It is already good for an ordinary disciple of a gang to have such a Cheng dù's internal strength, although there are many disciples of famous sects, but according to the ratio, it is not necessarily as solid as the internal strength of the disciples of the Great Jiang League, let alone such a vigorous momentum.

Ye Qingxuan and the others couldn't help but shout good, with these disciples as the foundation. Twenty years at most. The status and overall strength of the Great River Alliance will be able to make another leap. Even have the strength to step into a higher sect level in the future.

Jiang Tao said with a smile while leading the way: "A few little brothers, see how the development of my Great Jiang League is, these disciples are all a new generation of disciples trained by Ye Xiaodi's exercises, if there are another ten years." One or two real masters will surely emerge from it......"

Ye Qingxuan hurriedly said modestly: "Uncle Jiang praised it falsely, this depends on the teachings of Brother Meng and other big brothers to have such a majestic disciple." ”

Meng Dahai fluttered his beard, patted the big axe on his waist, and said with a strange smile: "Brother Ye, don't put gold on my face, Lao Jiang has never told lies, it is your ability to praise you, and it is useless for you to crutch me!"

Jiang Tao said with a smile: "How can there be no credit for Meng Dabeard here, it's just that he thinks I'm so annoyed that I'm praising it, so it's better to just invite him to drink two jars of wine!"

The crowd looked up and laughed.

Ye Qingxuan nodded secretly. It seems that Jiang Tao really has a skill, Meng Dahai is straightforward, and he has enveloped Meng Dahai, and several officer brothers who came with him have also become desperate for the Great Jiang League.

Everyone went all the way to Juyi Hall, and chatted briefly, Ye Qingxuan knew that Jiang Tao treated them very favorably, not long after Meng Dahai arrived here, he was matched by Jiang Tao for a marriage, and now his son will be one and a half years old, Meng Dahai is very happy. Seeing that this Jiang Tao is a good person, this Dajiang League is a place to rely on, and the same is true for several other officers, who have settled down on this side, have made a lot of money, and live a leisurely life, and even want to make a breakthrough in martial arts, and have a better way out, and they are very happy every day.

Everyone entered the Juyi Hall, there were already wine and food prepared, everyone drank here for fun, Ye Qingxuan and other brothers chatted with Jiang Tao and his subordinates, Meng Dahai and Ruhua were fighting for wine there, the cups and sea bowls had already been thrown aside, and they were directly holding the wine jar and pouring it there.

Before you know it, it's getting late, and the lights are on.

Just as he was in the midst of this drunken excitement, suddenly a disciple of the Great Jiang League, with a lot of blood on his chest, rushed in in a panic and went straight to Jiang Tao.

"What's going on?"

As soon as this disciple entered the room, he attracted Jiang Tao's attention, and before he could get to him, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Where did the blood on his body come from, but there are brothers in the alliance who are injured?"

The disciple hurriedly replied: "The leader of the Qiqi Alliance, it is Zhong Sun Liang, the leader of the guards! He suddenly appeared on the street with serious injuries, and the disciples and others were patrolling, and as soon as he saw the disciples and the others, he was looking for the young alliance leader, and then he fell to the ground unconscious. The disciple was worried about the urgency of the matter, so he took the lead in running back to report it......"

"What? Where are the people?"

Whew――

Before the voice fell, several figures had already landed beside the disciple.

As soon as they heard that it was Zhongsun Liang who was injured, Ye Qingxuan and the others immediately couldn't sit still, Uncle Liang was the little girl's house that went to for the eldest brother Wan Guotai's matter, in the sphere of influence of the Great River League, how could such a big thing happen?

"On the way here, there are already disciples who have gone to ask for a doctor......

"Third brother......" Ye Qingxuan shouted.

"Know!" Duan Sanshi stepped away.

Jiang Tao asked, "Do you know where it happened?"

The disciple of the Great River League told him where he had discovered Zhongsun Liang.

Ye Qingxuan and the other brothers had already flown out, and Jiang Shuihan's voice came: "Let's follow the bloodstains to find ......."

Without further ado, the murderer may still be in Cuitong Mountain.

Jiang Tao urgently ordered: "The sea, order the blockade of Cuitong Mountain, TMD Who is so bold to hurt people in my Cuitong Mountain, I want to catch this bastard and avenge him!"

Meng Dahai's eyes were also red, and he was ordered to go out, shouting loudly to the disciples of the Dajiang League, and all the gates of the wharf and Cuitongshan Village were closed, with three sentry posts and a curfew in the village.

Wan Guotai, Ye Qingxuan, Ruhua, Meng Yuanyun, and Jiang Shuihan brothers were crazy and rushed in the already dark night.

A few people came out of the main hall, and under the leadership of Jiang Shuihan, they arrived at the street where Zhong Sunliang was found after a while.

Now Meng Yuanyun and Ye Qingxuan are leading the way in front, one of these two people leaning on their eyes and the other on their noses, and they quickly walked along the smell of blood left by Zhong Sun Liang, all the way through several alleys, and they arrived at a farmhouse.

At this time, there were already many neighbors at the door of the farmhouse, and as soon as a few people arrived, they smelled a smell of blood.

A few people rushed into the courtyard to see that a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar had fallen in a pool of blood, no longer breathing, and then looked in the back room, a middle-aged woman was covering the wound on her abdomen, and her mouth kept spitting blood.

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand, Jiang Shuihan stepped forward and passed a burst of true qi, and the [life] attribute true qi of [Heaven and Earth Long Immortal Gong] immediately temporarily maintained the life of the middle-aged woman.
