After Bai Yi said goodbye to Duan Zhengchun, he went to Tianlong Temple to say hello to Master Kurong before leaving for Jiangnan.

From Dali to Jiangnan, it will take more than a month to walk by land, even if it is a fast horse, so Bai Yi takes the waterway. First went north from the capital of Dali, found a small canopy boat in the port where the Yangtze River flows through Dali, and then went all the way east along the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan, generally speaking, refers to the vast area near the Taihu Lake basin south of the Yangtze River, including Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Nanjing and other places, and Bai Yi is going to Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River this time.

The surging river, the apes on both sides of the river cried, the birds in the sky swept by from time to time, making a crisp birdsong, and a small canopy boat flooded in the river, flowing down the river. In the distance, a port is getting closer.

"Childe, Miss, Suzhou has arrived!" the boatman held the boat, let the speed of the canopy boat slowly slow down, and then shouted politely to the inside of the boat.

"Well, I know, thank you!" a man's voice came from the boat, and then, a young man in a white Confucian dress and a playful girl in a purple dress walked out of the boat, it was Bai Yi and Ah Zi who had set off from Dali.

Originally, Bai Yi didn't tell Ah Zi when he left, because he was afraid that Ah Zi would continue to follow him, but he didn't expect that not long after he left, Ah Zi actually rode up on a horse, and he had to go with him.

Soon, the canopy boat docked in the port, Bai Yi and Ah Zi also got off the boat, and the boat fare had been given before boarding the ship, and it was Ah Zi who gave it. As the daughter of the king of Zhennan, Ah Zi took away a large number of pearl bricks and stones in the blessed land of Langhuan before, which is naturally not bad for money.

Then, the two entered Suzhou City, found an inn, opened two first-class guest rooms, and prepared to rest first. After all, this is their second river rafting, although this time the canopy boat is obviously much better than the first raft, but the ten days on the water is enough to make people tired.

......

"Hey, have you heard? Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, died not long ago, and he died under his own famous skills, everyone in the Beggar Gang suspected that Murong Fu had succeeded, and Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggar Gang, was also rushing to the Jiangnan branch of the Beggar Gang, I heard that he was going to Murong Fu to ask him clearly!"

"The rivers and lakes all say that North Qiao Feng and South Murong, the two who have been famous on the rivers and lakes for a long time meet, hehe, there is a good show to watch now!"

"Eh, did you say that Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, was really killed by Murong Fu?"

"I see, eight or nine are not far from ten, Ma Dayuan died under his own famous stunt [Throat Locking Grab], this is not the Murong family's way of returning the other body, what else can it be?

"That's not necessarily, there are all kinds of martial arts in this world, so Ma Dayuan may just die under a martial art similar to his stunt, but the beggars didn't see it. Moreover, this Murong Fu is often active in our Jiangnan, and he has no grievances with that Ma Dayuan, why did he go all the way to Luoyang to kill him?"

On a table in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, four people from the rivers and lakes talked about the recent hot rumors on the rivers and lakes while drinking.

At this time, it seemed that he heard one of the people at this table say that Ma Dayuan might not have been killed by Murong Fu, and the people at the tables next to him looked a little angry, and stood up with a bang, glaring at these people.

"Hmph, what kind of person Qiao Feng is, how could he not recognize that Ma Dayuan died under his own fame stunt, and besides, so many people on the rivers and lakes have died under his own fame stunt recently, except for the Gusu Murong family's way of giving back to him, who else can there be!" The person who spoke was dressed in cyan clothes, holding a steel hammer in his hand, and spoke with a Sichuan accent. Looking at the dozen or so people around him, they seem to be from the same sect as him.

"Talk nonsense, be careful that we tear your mouths apart!" said one of them with a vicious threat.

The people at the table who spoke before, seeing that these people were menacing, at first glance they were people from the martial arts sect, not something they could afford to provoke, so they hurriedly lowered their heads, did not dare to respond, hurriedly ate their own dishes, and then left the inn.

Seeing that the people at the table were so afraid of themselves and the others, the anger on the faces of the dozen or so people subsided slightly, and then they continued to sit down.

What they didn't know was that the scene just now had been caught in the eyes of Bai Yi Azi, who was sitting in the corner of the inn on the first floor drinking and eating.

This kind of battle of words and tongues, the scene of threatening others if you don't agree with each other, Ah Zi is very willing to be a melon-eating crowd, and while watching, she says, "It's so interesting"!

"Eh, Big Brother Bai, who are these people? they are so arrogant, why don't we teach them a lesson?" Ah Zi's eyes sparkled, as if he was brewing some bad idea.

Bai Yi looked at Ah Zi's eager look, couldn't help but be a little speechless, and stopped Ah Zi with his eyes. Ah Zi's temperament of loving to watch lively and playing tricks on people has not changed much.

"They should be from the Qingcheng faction, their master died a month ago under his own fame stunt, they came to Suzhou this time, they should have come to Murong Fu to take revenge. ”

The Qingcheng faction in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" can be called a first-class sect in the rivers and lakes, only a little worse than the Wuyue Sword Sect, the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and the Shao ** Dang, but in the Tianlong period, the Qingcheng faction at this time can only be said to be a third-rate sect, which is at the same level as the Infinite Sword Sect and the Shennong Gang.

"Oh, Qingcheng faction? I don't think their martial arts are high, Brother Bai, why don't you let me teach them a lesson?" Ah Zi saw that these martial arts of these people from the Qingcheng faction were commonplace, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled by Bai Yi stopping him just now.

"Didn't we come to Suzhou just to meet this Murong Fu, and now someone happens to lead the way! If you beat them all away, won't we have to bother to inquire where Murong Fu's Shenhe Village is?" Bai Yi smiled and said.

On the way to Jiangnan, Bai Yi had already told Ah Zi the purpose of his trip, of course, looking for Murong Fu to see if he was suitable to be his trading partner, this kind of thing must not be told to Ah Zi, Bai Yi only said that Murong Fu has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he wants to meet this Murong Fu.

Ah Zi listened to Bai Yi's words, showed a sudden expression, and then nodded, regretfully dispelling the idea of going to the Qingcheng faction to trouble.

"By the way, Brother Bai, did you say that those people who died under his own fame stunt were really killed by Murong Fu?" Ah Zi then asked again.

Bai Yi smiled, remembered the world-famous pit son duo of Tianlong, shook his head, and said:

"It wasn't Murong Fu who killed it, but it was Murong who killed it. ”

"What do you mean?" Ah Zi was a little confused by Bai Yi's words.

"Because it was Murong Fu's father Murong Bo who killed the murderer. ”

"But isn't Murong Bo already dead?" Ah Zi was a little puzzled. I still have a little impression of Murong Bo Ah Zi, before Gu Mozhi wanted to come to Tianlong Temple to exchange for the six-vein divine sword, that is, he said that he would take the six-vein divine sword and burn it in front of Murong Bo's grave.

"Just fake your death. Bai Yi then told Ah Zi about the reason for Murong Bo's fake death and the plans he made. These things, in the eyes of others, belong to the secrets of the rivers and lakes that are impossible to know, and once they are announced, they are enough to cause the entire rivers and lakes to shake, so they were said by Bai Yi in order to satisfy the curiosity of a little girl.

Murong Bo can be said to be the big boss behind the scenes in the Tianlong World, and almost all of the things he did were done. Qiao Feng's tragic fate can be said to be created by him. He stirred up trouble in the rivers and lakes, just to make the Central Plains martial arts chaotic and provoke a war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao, so that his Murong clan could revive the Great Yan.

However, although Murong Bo can be called a scheming man, but the facts he has done are incomprehensible, Bai Yi has never heard of reviving the country without accumulating grain and training troops, but stirring up wind and rain everywhere in the rivers and lakes, and killing people everywhere and planting blame for his own son, which is really a mudslide in the world of pit sons.

......

After eating and drinking, more than a dozen people from the Qingcheng faction left the inn and walked outside Suzhou. Bai Yi and Ah Zi quietly followed behind them. Bai Yi and Ah Zi's martial arts are not much higher than those of the Qingcheng faction, plus the two of them can also take a slight step, so the people of the Qingcheng faction can't find that they and the others are followed by two tails.

Shenhezhuang is located in the depths of Dongting Lake more than 30 miles outside Suzhou City, although the people of the Qingcheng faction are not high, but in the end they have internal strength, so the speed is not slow, about half an hour, they have rushed to the Dongting Lake where Shenhezhuang is located, and then find a few small boats by the lake, and go to the islands in the lake.

Bai Yi and Ah Zi also looked for a small boat by the lake, far behind them, as if they were just tourists visiting Dongting Lake, and did not attract the attention of the Qingcheng faction.

Dongting Lake is very large, with an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers, and there are many islands on the lake, if it weren't for the people from the Qingcheng faction leading the way in front, Bai Yi and Ah Zi might not be able to find out where Shenhezhuang is located in Dongting.

After rowing for about half an hour, the people of the Qingcheng faction finally stopped in front of an island, and then went to the island. Bai Yi and Ah Zi also followed, but they rowed to the other side of the island, avoiding the sight of the Qingcheng faction, and then disembarked on the island.
