Following. The weather is clear and the wind is smooth.

Although there is a strong autumn mood, but because today is the day of the real martial arts competition, not long after the sun rises, most of the people in Hangzhou City are directly surrounding Shengwu Square.

After Chao Gai and the others arrived, they suddenly found that there was a crowd of people in front of them. Walking through the crowd in front of him, Chao Gai found that in the center of the spacious Shengwu Square, a huge wooden ring had appeared.

At the front of the ring, a big flag was erected at this time, with four big characters written on it - Green Forest Dabi!

The ring is surrounded by a fence of thick wooden pillars, and on the left and right are two three-step wooden stepped entrances. On top of this ring, a bright red carpet has been laid out at this time, and there are even red paper lanterns in the four corners.

Seeing this, Chao Gai couldn't help but smile: "It seems that this Fang La is still a lot of heart about this matter!" ”

"Although he is Sima Zhao's heart now, passers-by know it", Xu Guanzhong smiled, and then said: "But now it is in his territory, and if he is not very sure, how can Fang La really make a move!" ”

"It seems that this Fang La is the winner in hand", Lu Zhishen smiled loudly: "It seems that today, whatever we say, we have to sing this play well, and we have done enough tricks!" ”

After Chao Gai and the others sat down, Tian Hu and Wang Qing also arrived one after another. At this time, it seems that Tian Hu is full of spirit, looking like a dragon and a tiger, and anyone can see the unruly color on his face.

But Wang Qing was silent, sitting calmly. Seeing Chao Gai looking at him, Wang Qing suddenly squeezed out a little smile, nodded slightly at Chao Gai, and said with a deliberate smile: "Chao Tianwang, don't forget that you and I met yesterday, and at the end of this martial arts conference, we will return together!" ”

"Thanks to Brother Wang's affordability, Chao Gai obeyed his orders, and by the way, he also saw Brother Wang's hegemony in Huaixi!" , Chao Gai naturally saw that Wang Qing was deliberately doing it for others to see, and immediately said deliberately.

Yesterday night, Wang Qing and Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, as well as his general Du Bai, suddenly visited and came to look for Chao Gai late at night.

Wang Qing first greeted and congratulated together, and said that he hated to see Chao Gai and other Liangshan heroes late, and congratulated Chao Gai again and again for breaking the army of the imperial court.

In the end, this Wang Qing revealed his true intention to come.

Originally, Chao Gai still thought that this Wang Qing had come to find out, and he was going to send those characters to fight, and even whether this Wang Qing wanted to discuss with himself and work together to prevent the position of the leader of the Green Forest Alliance.

But Chao Gai never thought that this Wang Qing was more confident than he Chao Gai imagined. Although Wang Qing revealed that he didn't really want to be the leader of the Green Forest Alliance, he also hinted that Fang La's desire to sit firmly in this Green Forest Alliance leader was not so easy.

Out of Chao Gai's expectations, this Wang Qing came, but he was on good terms with Chao Gai. As for the reason for this friendship, although there is the rise of Liangshan's strength, the theme that Wang Qing went straight to was Tianwang Yan.

Today's Tianwang salt is extremely popular in the rivers and lakes, and it has long exceeded the entire Shandong region, not to mention Jianghuai, which is south of the Yangtze River, and there is a circulation.

Of course, Liang Shan naturally would not resell the Heavenly King Salt here. Because after all, this place is too far away from Liangshan, and it is also close to Wang Qing's forces. Therefore, almost all of the Tianwang salt that flows here is resold here by the private individuals who bought the salt.

Although Chao Gai had already ordered not to sell salt to such middlemen and let them exploit the people. But this kind of situation, at most, can be reduced, and it is really difficult to put an end to it.

I don't know how much income the entire Tianwang Salt brought to Liang Shanbo, and Chao Gai may not have calculated this account. As long as Zhiduoxing Wu doesn't need to cry poor with him, it's fine.

But it can be seen that Tianwang salt is so popular, and selling salt is a profiteering industry. Wang Qing is alive with a force, and there is no such a lucrative industry under his hands, so he can see that the Tianwang Yan of Liangshanbo is already red-eyed. Even, spies were sent to the surroundings of Good Three many times to inquire about the information of this Heavenly King Salt.

Therefore, Wang Qing came here because he wanted to teach Chao Gai to cooperate with him. Therefore, he strongly invited Chao Gai to return with him Wang Qing after this martial arts conference. One is to prevent Fang La from having any bad intentions, and the other is that he really wants to get closer to Chao Gai and reach cooperation, and wants to teach Chao Gai to sell a batch of Tianwang salt to him, and he Wang Qing will resell it in Huaixi and even Jianghuai region.

Regarding Wang Qing's sudden request, Chao Gai did not categorically refuse. After all, if you can really reach some cooperation with Wang Qing, it will naturally be a matter of mutual benefit.

Although at present, Liang Shanbo has smashed the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court several times, Chao Gai is not arrogant enough to think that the current Liang Shanbo can fight against the imperial court.

Many friends have many roads, and Chao Gai also wants to know more about Wang Qing.

Seeing that Chao Gai did not categorically refuse, and also showed some sincerity, saying that he could find another time to discuss this matter after this martial arts conference, Wang Qing suddenly had a good impression of Chao Gai.

He, Wang Qing, naturally didn't dare to expect the technique of Heavenly King Salt, which was one of Liang Shanbo's core secrets. But as long as Chao Gai can hand over a part of the Tianwang salt to him Wang Qing to resell in Huaixi and other places, at that time, his Wang Qing's financial situation will definitely improve a lot. But how much it is, it depends on him, Wang Qing and Chao Gai will talk in detail at that time.

"Hehe, everyone!"

At this time, Fang La, who was dressed in a strong suit, appeared again, and behind Fang La, there was a person standing, Chao Gai and the others looked over, and it was their old acquaintance - Baoguang Rulai Deng Yuanjue.

Fang La said: "Today is a big day on the rivers and lakes. We and all of you, Brother Tian of Hebei, Brother Chao of Shandong, Brother Wang of Huaixi, and the Quartet of Fang, will have a big competition according to the agreement today! ”

"According to the meaning of your brothers, this time we are friends with martial arts, not a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, let alone you to live or die. This time to compete for the position of the leader of the Green Forest Alliance, the rules are also very simple. In order not to hurt the harmony of the four forces of us, we each sent three of our brothers to fight a battle, and the leader of the side who won the most games was naturally the leader of the Green Forest Alliance! ”

"The four of us are free to sweep the battle for your brothers outside the field", Fang La smiled, then looked at Deng Yuanjue and said: "As for the things in this game, it will be handed over to Master Deng!" ”

As the words fell, Fang La also sat on the chair beside him. Chao Gai looked at it and saw that several generals standing behind Fang La at this time were all good.

It's just that at this time, Chao Gai was slightly surprised. This Fang Lai taught Deng Yuanjue to be responsible for the specific on-field martial arts competition, so if you think about it, Deng Yuanjue should not be able to play. It's just that if even Deng Yuanjue doesn't fight, then Fang La's combat power this time will probably be above Deng Yuanjue.

Thinking of this, Chao Gai's heart couldn't help but sink, seeing that he still underestimated Fang La's desire for the position of the leader of the alliance.

"Amitabha, leaders, don't say much, please send your three generals!"

Deng Yuanjue praised the Buddha's name, and then bowed slightly to Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Chao Gai in front of him, and then said with a smile.

Deng Yuanjue's voice fell, and Chao Gai, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La each had three figures slowly coming out behind them, and then they were divided into four groups in front of Deng Yuanjue.

"Please also invite the person to pass the name!" , Deng Yuanjue saw twelve people coming out in front of him, and then said loudly.

"Hebei Tian Chief's command: Zhu Jing, Dong Cheng, Shan Shiqi!"

"Under the command of the leader of the King of Huaixi: Du Bao, Yuan Lang, Ma Jin!"

"Under the command of King Chao of Liangshan: Flower Monk Lu Zhishen, Ghost Axe Bian Xiang, Double Whip Hu Yanzhuo!"

"Under the command of Jiangnan Shenggong: Wang Yin, Shi Bao, Li Tianyan!"

Seeing that the twelve people in front of him had signed up, Chao Gai couldn't help but glance at Xu Guanzhong, and they both saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

When he came to Jiangnan this time, Chao Gai was accompanied by only ten brothers: Xu Guanzhong, Wu Song, Hua Rong, Bian Xiang, Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen, Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ma Ling, and Shi Qian.

Because there were only three places, Chao Gai and Xu Guanzhong discussed and finally decided to teach Lu Zhishen, Bian Xiang and Hu Yanzhuo to fight. One retains a certain strength, not completely exposed, and it is easy to deal with in case of any changes. The two also show the majesty of Liangshan, and they can't lose the name of Liangshanbo at this Jianghu martial arts conference.

But the current lineup of other forces should not be underestimated. Especially the two-sided lineup of Wang Qing and Fang La, no wonder Wang Qing is full of confidence and wants to disgust Fang La, it seems that today, there is a good show to watch.

At this time, Deng Yuanjue waved his sleeves, and four maids came, each holding a wooden plate in his hand, and three wooden daggers were placed on each wooden plate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the dagger in front of you is engraved with a total of twelve numbers from one to twelve, you can come forward and draw a number at will, according to the number drawn grouping, two people in a group, one and two in a group, three and four in a group, and so on."

Speaking of this, Deng Yuanjue raised his hand to everyone and signaled: "Everyone, please!" ”

Immediately, Lu Zhishen and other twelve people immediately drew numbers, Lu Zhishen drew No. 1, Bian Xiang drew No. 8, and Hu Yanzhuo drew No. 11.

"Everyone, according to their respective numbers drawn into groups, now the grouping arrangement has been out", Deng Yuanjue took a piece of note, and then announced:

"Lu Zhishen vs. Li Tianyan!"

"Zhu Jing to Ma Jin!"

"Shi Bao to the mountain Shiqi!"

"Yuan Lang to Bian Xiang!"

"Wang Yin to Dong Cheng!"

"Hu Yanzhuo to Du Yan!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but discuss it in private, but Na Tianhu's face at this time was a little unsightly. He knows the martial arts of Shanshiqi, and he actually met Shi Bao, the beloved general of Fang La, but he knows that Shi Bao's martial arts are no longer under Deng Yuanjue, and the chances of winning against Shi Bao are really a little slim.

However, at this time, Deng Yuanjue ignored everyone, but directly announced:

"The competition starts now, in the first game, Liang Shanhua and Shang Lu Zhishen will play against Jiangnan Li Tianyan!"
