Chapter 10: The Unavoidable Rivers and Lakes

Subsequently, the Dragon King's devastating posture swept away all the underground forces in Qinzhou City. The construction of Qinzhou City was also very smooth, and if it went on like this, it took half a year. When the people of Qinzhou City were about to open the page of the flood, the terrible heavy rain came again.

When the pouring rain did not dissipate for seven consecutive days, the water of the Qinhuai River had overflowed the streets. The people of Qinzhou recalled the terrible scene half a year ago.

Qi Linya, the head of the Qi family, has been in retreat for many years, and he does not ask about the world in the Ghost Knife Building. And his brother Qi Tianhe couldn't see the doorway of this strange rain.

It's just that the Dragon King said that the blessings of Qinzhou City for hundreds of years have been dispersed, and now only by carrying out water sacrifices every once in a while can the anger of the river god be appeased. The Dragon King had won the hearts of the people before, and he had already dispersed a heavy rain, so everyone responded again. The target of the water festival is naturally the opponent of the dragon king.

It's just something that has already happened, and it's going through again. One hour after the completion of the dragon king's sacrifice, the heavy rain stopped and the wind and clouds dissipated.

Since then, for more than ten years, Qinzhou City has held water festivals at irregular times.

And when the Dragon King completely swept away all the underground forces in Qinzhou City and became the new underground power dragon head of Qinzhou City, he began to collect black taxes on all shops.

Many shops on the streets were forced to hang dragon characters. There are also many shops that have been directly taken over by the Dragon King's people. This move made the people of Qinzhou City quickly start to resist.

But today's Dragon King is already a figure in Qinzhou City. The Dragon King used a lot of money to establish a good relationship with the Qi family, and even the Dragon King was willing to subordinate the Qi family as a descendant. In this way, the dragon king has no target to fear.

But the anger of the people was not so easy to quell. Thousands of people denounced the dragon king at the gate of the yamen, and for a while, the dragon king was like a malignant tumor in the city.

Soon, however, the people dispersed, and the court did not react.

Because of that rain, it came again. The continuous heavy rain quickly raised the water level of the Qinhuai River, and the people of Qinzhou who had experienced the flood naturally easily recalled the miserable situation of the year, and thought of the scene when the heavy rain swept everything in the Qinhuai River area with the flood, and they felt their own insignificance and pathetic.

The way to appease the anger of the river god is naturally a water sacrifice. At this time, someone finally reacted that the rain itself may have been brought by the Dragon King, and it was not a kind of weather at all.

But when they thought of the previous catastrophe and the ruins of Qinzhou City, everyone was silent.

The object of the water festival became the leader of the rebellion against the dragon king.

There were two such rebellions, both of which were overwhelmed by heavy rains.

Since then, the dragon king's black tax has continued to increase, and those who do not pay the black tax will be sacrificed by water. That is, the so-called, dedicated to the god of the river.

The people of Qinzhou City have never encountered the catastrophic heavy rain again, but they have lived under the domination of the Dragon King since then. Naturally, there are also some knights who think they are strong in martial arts or really strong in martial arts, and they want to destroy the dragon king directly.

But most of them can't even see the face of the dragon king, and even if there is a master, when they see the dragon king, they will be defeated by the overwhelming advantage of the stronger dragon king.

How strong the dragon king's martial arts are, there are really few people in the rivers and lakes who know it. But there have always been a lot of people who have come to challenge, but no one has succeeded so far, but because of this, there are many more guests who have learned the art of the Dragon King.

Qinzhou City is a prosperous place, and the imperial court also attaches great importance to this place, so even if the Dragon King exploits countless people, countless people will still pour here. And the Dragon King himself is becoming more and more famous, and even, faintly, he wants to surpass the Crane King and become the head of the Seven Kings.

Later in the matter, as most people know, the Dragon King almost completely ruled this place, the head of the Qi family did not care about the world, and the empire seemed to have no action for some reason, so the Dragon King became the underground emperor of Qinzhou City.

After a few years, after the water festival had met countless merchants and people who had rebelled against the dragon king, people were silent when they talked about the dragon king. Just quietly afraid.

Shopkeeper Zhao talked for a long time, although these things were not long, Xu had a glimmer of unspeakable hope for these three people.

After listening, the scholar got up and said, "After drinking and eating, and listening to the story, it's time to go back." ”

Then Chen Hui and Ding Qiliang got up and walked back, as if they were really just here to have a meal and listen to a story, and had no other ideas.

It's just that when he walked to the door, Chen Hui said: "As long as you live, good things will happen." Shopkeeper Zhao, don't give up hope, maybe tomorrow, something good will happen. ”-

With that, the three of them disappeared. Leaving the shopkeeper Zhao stunned. But soon, he sighed, and there was no hope. The dragon king brought nothing but despair.

……

On the outskirts of Qinzhou, the end of the inn.

The shopkeeper, cook, and scholar sit at a table. The scholar was playing with a coin, Chen Hui was writing, and Ding Qiliang was waiting for the two to talk. After a few days of getting along, he knew that the shopkeeper was actually a smart person, and many times it could be seen that he seemed to understand, but he was too indifferent.

But at this moment, he could see that the shopkeeper's heart was not at peace. The word written by the shopkeeper is a righteous word.

The righteousness of righteousness. Righteousness is difficult to peace, and meaning is difficult to peace.

After being quiet for a long time, the scholar looked at the coin hexagram and said, "Four points." There are pros and cons for you to weigh for yourself. ”

Chen Hui also stopped writing in time and said: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Ding Qiliang admired their way of speaking as if they had skipped some conversations.

"First, the inaction of the imperial court must be related to the loss of control of the sea interception dam. The flood requires two conditions: heavy rain and an out-of-control dam, so the reason why the imperial court did not act in the second heavy rain is likely to let people know that the empire made the same mistake twice. ”

"Second, the roar moves the wind and clouds, and the internal strength of the Dragon King is bound to be between the realm of the seven leaves and the realm of the nine leaves, or even higher."

"Third, the Dragon King is attached to the Qi family, but the two families must have their own minds."

"Finally, that rain is very strange, and there is probably a stronger wrist behind the Dragon King. Because, I don't know how that heavy rain came about, but the more unimaginable things are, the more powerful they will be. You can't be wrong with that. ”

Chen Hui nodded and said, "I didn't think about it that much, there is only one thing to do anyway." ”

This time, the scholar said: "I would like to hear it in detail,"

"Defeat the Dragon King."

The scholar looked at Chen Hui with interest, and even Ding Qiliang couldn't help but look at Chen Hui twice.

"I already knew these things about the Dragon King. Now that you've felt his influence, would you be willing if I told you that there was a better way to bypass the Dragon King and face the Qi family directly? ”

Chen Hui shook his head decisively.

"I've always wanted to avoid the rivers and lakes, but I don't want to, the rivers and lakes have no boundaries in the first place, and the Dragon King's actions shouldn't be stopped by anyone."

Of course, the scholar understood what Chen Hui meant.

Chen Hui continued: "My inn only wants to save those people in a desperate situation, but now, there are many people here who are in a desperate situation because of the Dragon King, if I turn a blind eye, there will be no point in me opening this inn." An inn that doesn't do business, it's still a sub-inn. ”

The scholar looked at Ding Qiliang: "The strength of the Dragon King is very strong, you may die." ”

Ding Qiliang said proudly: "I have already died once, if the Dragon King can't pass this level, how can I be qualified to challenge the first sword in the world." ”

The scholar smiled: "It's a good thing to have courage, your original intention in this plan is to help the cook get what he wants, and my original intention is to wait for someone to frustrate the dragon king's spirit." There was no expectation that the Dragon King would be defeated outright. Each of these links requires absolute force to be implemented smoothly. ”

He tossed the coin into the sky, and the flipping coin flew high and finally landed, landing on the back of the scholar's hand.

"The hexagram shows that there are noble people to help, and it should be good luck when evil is turned into good fortune. But I don't know who the noble man is. As he spoke, he looked at Chenhui.

Chen Hui looked at the dark sky and got up to close the door.

"Mr. is not missing, it is better for a good person to do it to the end, and also calculate, how to act tomorrow."

The scholar said: "Why wait until tomorrow, tonight is a good time to do things." The Red Scorpion Gate has done all the bad things, and the name of the blood scorpion is not small. If the two of you can take down the Red Scorpion Gate with the power of just two of you, there will definitely be a lot of interesting things happening. ”

Ding Qiliang asked, "Kicking the Red Scorpion Gate in the hall openly?" ”

The scholar nodded and said, "The contradictions and hints I have laid out early during this time, and now, you just need to prove that you can have this strength." ”

Ding Qiliang said: "The blood scorpion is just an outcast of the Iron Lion Sect, and the kung fu in the Iron Lion Sect is naturally powerful, but my Ding family's ox solving knife method is not inferior to him." The person who trampled on the chef's dishes, I will not let it go! ”

Chen Hui suddenly asked, "Is Mr. from the imperial court?" ”

This sudden question cooled the air, but the scholar shook his head very calmly and said, "I am not from the imperial court, you can rest assured of this." In short, if you want to attract the attention of the Dragon King now, then you need to be high-profile enough to exterminate the Red Scorpion Gate. ”

Chen Hui casually asked, as if he had no intention, then nodded and said:

"In that case, then tonight will start at the Red Scorpion Gate."
