Fan Li got into the cabin, saw Li Rong who had just climbed up from the bottom, smiled and took out two bottles of wine from the cabin and handed one to Li Rong.

Li Rong was seriously injured, but he didn't have the ability to run the true qi evaporation wet clothes before, he took the wine, uncorked the bottle, raised his head and drank it all in one go.

"Good wine," Li Rong put down the bottle and said, "This is the yellow wine produced by Wucheng?" ”

The yellow liquor produced by Wucheng Ruoxia in Yuezhou is like amber, sticky like honey, slightly sweet in the mouth, and is a rare good wine in the south.

Fan Li loves to drink, and has hidden several bottles of good wine in the boat, all of which are good wines with high quality materials and have been cellared for many years.

"It's been buried in the ground for more than ten years," Fan Li said, "and the wine has a mellow flavor and stamina." ”

Of course, Li Rong will not compare the high-ranking liquor of later generations with the rice wine of this era, but this yellow fermented wine is still quite suitable for his taste.

"The Yue Wangfu seems to be dissatisfied with the Black and White Society?" Li Rong asked.

The conversation between Fan Li, Zhang Ning, and Li Gui was still heard by Li Rong, who was hiding in the water, and Li Gui did not have much respect for Fan Li, but on the contrary, he was suspected of deliberately targeting.

"King Yue co-opted and suppressed my Black and White Society, and wanted me to work for him, but was rejected by the head of the club, so he held a grudge." Fan Li took a sip of wine and said.

"Li Zhen's vision is not bad, the power of the Black and White Society is all over Jianghuai, and he controls the water shipping industry, so he really wants to belong to him, which is very helpful to his great cause of rebellion." Li Rong said secretly in his heart.

After Fan Li and the others left, Li Gui returned to a battleship and sat down in the cabin.

"Why don't you take the opportunity to take down Fan Li, some people in our society are unruly and have a deep resistance to King Yue, so Fan Li and others are the leader." A middle-aged man next to him said.

"Lord Lingruo, I have also heard of this Fan Li, I have always opposed cooperating with my Yue Palace, and I originally wanted to find a chance to take him down, but there are not many masters around me, and besides, my father strictly ordered to arrest that Jiangyang thief, and I don't want to make a branch at this time." Li Gui said.

Ling Xiao's main name is Ling Xiao, the helmsman of the Shouzhou branch of the Black and White Society, and he is also a unique figure in the society, but his status and intelligence are not as good as Fan Li, and he is very jealous of Fan Li, and he has always wanted to replace Fan Li's position, and then ascend to the throne of the head of the Black and White Society.

"It's a pity!" Ling Xiao said.

"Lord Ling Duo, please rest assured, when my father's big event is completed, I will definitely support Lord Ling Helm to win the Black and White Society." Li Gui said.

"Thank you Childe for your grace!" Ling Xiao said excitedly.

Li Zhen put a lot of effort into the plan of attacking Luoyang, wanting to succeed in one fell swoop and take the throne of the emperor, and then took advantage of the chaos in the world to control Jianghuai and fight for the world, so as to push back the plan to deal with the Black and White Society.

It is said that after Ge Fushun obeyed Li Rong's words and left, he went to the agreed place to meet Dong Xuanjing and others. Three days later, Ge Fushun came to the Huailin not far from Zhangchai Village on time and took the news left by Li Rong according to the agreed method.

Before Li Rong sneaked into Zhangchai Village, he had charcoal and paper in his arms. After entering the village, he carefully observed the movement in the village, estimated the number of soldiers and soldiers in the village, and recorded the number of horses. After messing up the camp and escaping from the village, Li Rong took the opportunity to run to the locust forest and put the stubble with the message into the hole in the canopy of the locust tree that he had agreed with Ge Fushun. It was late at night, the sky was dark, and no one noticed Li Rong's movements.

After Ge Fushun got the note, he immediately left here and returned to Luoyang, the divine capital, with Dong Xuanjing and others.

Whether the news can reach Luoyang in time, Li Rong can't do much at this time, so he can only go with the flow, and it is the right thing to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind. Li Rong also did not think that the plan of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, would succeed. Luoyang is a rare fortified city in the world, and Wu Zetian's rule is quite stable, counting on someone to respond internally and cooperate with it, it is very difficult to lead troops into the city, especially when Wu Zetian is prepared.

There are more than 600 miles of water from Shouzhou and Sizhou, Cao San and others walked and stopped all the way, and it took seven or eight days to reach Sizhou City.

After more than ten days of recuperation, Li Rong's injuries actually recovered most of them, which provoked Fan Li to shout that Li Rong's martial arts were magical, and such a serious injury recovered so quickly.

Sizhou City is connected to Huaishui, Bianshui, canals and the Yangtze River, and can reach Yangzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and other cities directly from the waterway, which is an important transportation hub and transportation center. Merchants gathered in the city, the baht was noisy, and even the Black and White Society set up its headquarters in Sizhou. It can also be seen how important Fan Li's position as the helmsman of Sizhou is.

Along the waterway, Cao San rowed a small boat into the city with a relaxed face.

Sizhou City is the east and west two cities, there is a section of Bianshui in the middle, there is a Biansi Bridge to connect, the bridge is full of traffic, the flow of people is continuous. Cao San drove the boat under the bridge, and after a while turned into a water lane from the wide main channel, and then turned east and west, and after about two quarters of an hour, stopped in front of a stone bridge.

Cao San tied the cable, beckoned Fan Li, and Li Rong and the two went ashore.

Sizhou is quite unfamiliar to Li Rong, and he also intends to befriend Fan Li, the head snake.

The three of them walked along the riverside path for dozens of steps to the east, turned into an alley, and came to a courtyard where two stone lions were placed in front of the gate, the gate was ajar, and it looked like a dilapidated house.

In front of the house, several elderly people with some disabilities were playing chess and gossiping on the side of the alley, and when they saw Fan Li coming, they greeted each other affectionately.

"These are the old people of our company, who have worked hard for the society for half their lives, and have become disabled and have no one to take care of them, so the head of the club asked them to come here and do some things to take care of the family and nursing home," Fan Li replied while explaining to Li Rong, "The others are according to their old age." ”

"Well, it's no wonder that the Black and White Society can become the leading overlord of Jianghuai on the water, this kind of benevolent and generous style is incomparable to anyone." Li Rong sighed.

"It's just a mix of food, so that we poor people have a place to eat." Fan Li led Li Rong inside, and said as he walked.

"That's much better than some noble families recruiting power and bribes and occupying land extensively." Li Rong said.

"Isn't your family still a royal family, much richer than us." Cao San listened to the secret words in his heart beside him, of course, he couldn't say this.

The area of the house here is not large, about one or two acres of land, which is planted with bamboo and wood, and the green shade is everywhere, which catches the summer heat. People came and went in the courtyard, their footsteps were hurried, and they greeted Fan Li affectionately when they saw him, which shows that Fan Li is usually very popular, and he can talk to everyone from top to bottom.

"The tutor lives in the backyard, and when he is busy, he will deal with some affairs, and when he is free, he will go outside to drink and chat with a group of old men, which is very comfortable." Fan Li said.

Li Rong didn't say a word and followed Fan Li to the backyard.

Walking along the cobblestone path, Fan Li led Li Rong to the backyard. Cao San stayed in the front yard.

"Master, the disciple is back." Fan Li said respectfully.

"Fan Li is back," a gentle voice came from inside the house, "and there are still guests?" ”

"In the lower back disciple Li Rong, come to meet Liu Xuan's seniors." Li Rong said.

"Come in, let me see what kind of young heroes are who can repel the purple-shirted lion king Li Zhaokun and the holy daughter of the Heavenly Witch Sect, Zhou Xuan'er?" The man in the room said.

Fan Li next to him looked at Li Rong in surprise, as if asking, "Is this true?" "But this is not the time to speak.

The two walked into the hall one after another. In the middle of the hall sat a middle-aged man who looked to be forty or fifty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall figure, looking at Fan Li and Li Rong with a smile.

This person is the head of the Black and White Society, "Fengshen Dao" Liu Xuan, the grandmaster on the list, is over sixty years old, but because of his superb internal skills, his appearance looks like forty people.

"You are Li Rong, you are really a hero and a young man," Liu Xuan said appreciatively, "When I was your age, I didn't have that ability, and I could fight two grandmaster-level masters in a row unscathed." ”

From Liu Xuan's words, it can be inferred that the intelligence ability of the Black and White Society is breathtaking, like Li Rong and Li Zhaokun, Zhou Xuan'er's fight is a secret that few people know, especially the latter happened more than ten days ago, Liu Xuan, a person in Sizhou, can actually know.

"Being seriously injured and barely escaping for his life can be called a fluke," Mr. Li said.

"I see that you are a little injured, so it's not bad, among the younger generation, you are the most outstanding, like Wang Kun and others are far inferior to you." Liu Xuan saw that Li Rong was injured, "Sit down and talk." ”

Fan Li and Li Rong hurriedly sat down on the table on the left and right sides, and knelt there respectfully.

"Is Ling Zunke okay?" Liu Xuan asked, "Ten years ago, I traveled outside the Saiwai and made a special trip to visit him to learn his Xuanyin Wonderful Sword, which made him popular and his kendo practice convincing. ”

Liu Xuan is older than Li Rong's father, Li Hui, and after middle age, he has become a master of knife skills, and has traveled all over the world to increase his knowledge. At that time, Li Hui was still serving as the governor of Yingzhou outside the Saiwai, and Liu Xuan happened to run outside the Saiwai, and he would not let go of the opportunity to fight with Li Hui, who learned the Xuanyin sword of the Xie family in the Southern Dynasty.

"My father has some old injuries that have not healed, and he has been recuperating at home." Li Rong said in a deep voice.

Li Rong did not tell Fan Li that he was the son of the "Sword Marquis" Li Hui, and Fan Li did not ask much.

"It's uncomfortable to be in the court, there are too many worries, it's better to be free in the rivers and lakes," Liu Xuan sighed.

"People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes," Li Rong said, "and there is no way to escape." ”

"Haha, that's what I said," Liu Xuan said, "The rivers and lakes are better than the court, but they are just as frightened, you have to pay attention to the movements of the court from time to time, and you have to look at other people's faces if you want to be calm." ”

The black and white society has a great business, although it is a prosperous business, but it has also attracted the attention of people with hearts, such as Li Zhen, the king of Yue.
