"Childe, are you alright?" Ji Biao quickly rushed to Jiang Chuan's side and said anxiously.

"I'm okay, is anyone hurt?"

"Miss Liu fell, and Miss Xiaowen almost fell, but neither was injured." Ji Biao said in a deep voice.

"It's okay."

"Childe, these people are too arrogant, such a wide canal will hit us, eighty percent of them are deliberate. Do you want to catch up with them and teach them a lesson. Ji Biao said in a deep voice.

"Not for the time being, our identity should not be publicized. Just don't do it again. Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.

Ji Biao stopped talking, and agreed to retreat.

"He's a master." Bai Jinxiu said suddenly.

"He's a master." Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement.

Naturally, they were talking about the woman in black standing at the stern of the boat.

"Who do you think it will be?" Jiang Chuan asked, Bai Jinxiu knew a lot more about the affairs of the rivers and lakes than he did.

"It's hard to say, the appearance is mysterious, the behavior is reckless, it may be some kind of mysterious Jianghu organization. In addition to the woman in black, several people on the deck on the ship were also good hands. Bai Jinxiu thought for a while.

Jiang Chuan didn't ask any more.

His focus has always been on the competition for the world, and the focus is naturally on the major forces that can compete for the world. Whether it is the Black Ice Platform or the Li Fan Yuan, the key targets of intelligence collection are all on these forces, and there is not much energy to care about those Jianghu forces.

But not caring doesn't mean that these forces don't exist.

Jiang Chuan heard Bai Jinxiu once say that there are still a lot of forces on the rivers and lakes, and all sects and factions are quite complete. However, there is no Shaolin Wudang or anything that Jiang Chuan is familiar with, and all of them are sects that he has never heard of.

What is the Plain Clothes Society, the Blue and White League, the Crazy Sword Villa and the like, of course, including Bai Jinxiu's Shimen Baiyun Sect.

At present, the largest Jianghu organization should be regarded as the Cao Gang, relying on the Grand Canal connecting the north and the south to make a living, whether it is the coolies loading and unloading goods on the dock, or the escort sailors who dart with the boat, these are basically the gang of the Cao Gang.

In Jiang Chuan's cognition, these Jianghu sects can't set off any big storms, and they don't have the capital to confront the imperial court of a country at all, at most, they secretly operate and control some gray industries, etc., either to collect some protection fees on the street, etc., or to get entangled and cheated everywhere, extortion, etc.

Among them, the latter two are the most low-grade and the least on the table.

A sect like Baiyun Sect that takes the killing of the evil people in the world as its own responsibility is a very special category, and it even feels a bit overstepping.

Strictly speaking, it is out of bounds and belongs to the category of lynching.

This has a great impact on the prestige of the imperial court and the government.

From the point of view of the people, it is naturally welcome. In many cases, the court, the government, and the law often do not work for the wicked, so the people look forward to chivalrous men to punish the evil and eliminate the evil.

However, from the perspective of the court and the government, this is naturally a violation of the law by force, and it must be restricted and prohibited.

Jiang Chuan is now the supreme ruler of this continent, so naturally he will not let these things continue.

This time I went to Baiyun Sect, in addition to proposing to Bai Yunzi, there was also a purpose about this matter.

He wants to have a good talk with Bai Yunzi, whether this matter can finally come according to his heart, which is related to whether the matter between him and Bai Jinxiu can be successful.

Of course, Jiang Chuan has not said this to Bai Jinxiu, and it is not appropriate to say it now.

This little episode passed quickly, and after Jiang Chuan appeased Liu Rushi and Xiaowen, everyone tasted the small snacks made by Bai Jinxiu together, and their mood became comfortable again.

After the boat continued to move for two hours, it was already dark.

The boatman said that Jining City was ten miles away, and Jiang Chuan and his party were not in a hurry, so they decided to rest in Jining City for one night and continue sailing tomorrow.

Jining City is a big city on the side of the canal, which can be said to be an important hub city to dredge the north and south.

At its peak, Jining City had a population of nearly 500,000 and thousands of shops, making it a bustling place.

Merchants from the south sold their goods here, and then bought some goods from the north and brought them back to the south to sell. The same is true of the merchants of the North.

Therefore, Jining City, which is located between the north and south trade routes, has become prosperous, all kinds of restaurants and tea shops, Goolan tile shops have everything, the flow of people is like blazing, the traffic is busy, and the flowers are like brocade, so it has also won the nickname of "Little Jiangnan".

Leaving the boatman and some guards on the boat, Jiang Chuan and his party walked towards the city.

There were soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city, and they looked in good spirits, and the appearance of the army was quite neat, and there was no phenomenon of arbitrarily seizing and extorting goods or money from the people.

Jiang Chuan thought about it, this should be the rule set by Hu Zongxian when he was the governor of Qingzhou, so these soldiers are quite honest.

Although after the impact of the war, Jining City has lost its prosperity of the past, but at this time, it is still a flow of people shuttling, and there is an endless stream of cars and horses. In addition, the sky has darkened at this time, the lights in the city are bright, and it is bright to walk on the street, which is quite a bit of the "Little Jiangnan" heritage of the year.

"Childe, let's go find an inn to stay in first." Ji Biao stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"Okay, there are a lot of us, I'm afraid we need an independent courtyard." Jiang Chuan explained.

Not long after, after being pointed out by passers-by, they came to the Yuelai Inn, which is said to be the highest grade in the city.

The Yuelai Inn covers a large area, and before I even reached it, I saw their small flags hanging on the flagpoles along the way, pointing out their directions for the guests.

At the door of the inn, seeing that Jiang Chuan and his party were extraordinary, luxuriously dressed, the guy guarding the door hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Miss Gongzi looks like a distinguished guest from afar, please inside." ”

A group of people followed and walked in, and found that this Yuelai Inn was worthy of being the most famous chain inn in film and television dramas from ancient times to the present, and the gate just now was only the first door.

After entering, I found that there was a hole inside, among which there were two main buildings in front of the front, one in front was a restaurant, and one in the back was an inn.

Next to these two main buildings, there are several independent small courtyards, which are for those who want to purify their status.

"Are you going to be sharpened or are you staying in a hotel?" The shopkeeper asked after introducing the basic layout of the inn.

"Prepare a clean yard for us, a bigger one, and we all of us should be able to live." Ji Biao looked at the layout of the inn and said in a deep voice.

"That's a good feeling. It just happened that the best and largest sea-viewing garden was empty, and it was guaranteed to be able to live. The villain will take you there. The smile on the man's face was even bigger.

This group of guests is a rich and noble family, if you look at yourself to the eye, a little reward is enough for yourself to be happy for a long time.

Jiang Chuan and the others were just about to follow, but they heard someone behind them say loudly: "Wait, we have covered this yard." ”

When everyone looked back, they saw a large man with a long-handled object wrapped in a cloth on his back shouting from behind.

He was followed by several men in the same attire, and among them was a woman dressed in black, wearing a hat and a veil over her face.
