Baling County is located on the shore of Dongting Lake, with beautiful scenery and moving scenery. Eight hundred miles of Dongting are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the water is white and the wind is clear, just like a fairyland. However, for more than ten years, such a fairy residence has been occupied by the perverse Liang Emperor Xiao Xian, with frequent excesses and miscellaneous taxes, fierce officers and soldiers harassing the people, the state government is corrupt and incompetent, the officials are rich and the people are poor, and the people's lives are miserable.

Now, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are about to go south. The people of Lebanon, who have suffered for a long time, all secretly ran to tell each other and were full of joy. Who in the world doesn't know that Li Shimin, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, is wise and honest, loves the people like a son, and the states and counties under the Tang Dynasty system, the people live and work in peace and contentment, singing and dancing. If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to leave their homeland, the current Baling children would have already moved their families north.

However, in the last ten days, from the north and south of the river, ****, there have been countless men dressed in cyan suits and embroidered with spring, summer, autumn and winter. These men came in a hurry, with gloomy faces and hidden concealments, and did not talk to each other, but each prepared a few days' dry rations, and each carried a sword in his hand, or a bow and crossbow hidden in his sleeve.

Twenty miles away from the east bank of Dongting Lake, the owners of the three altars of spring, summer, and autumn have all arrived, and the masters of the twenty-four solar terms hall and the three hundred and sixty-five rudder masters have also gathered in the hall of the main helm of the Year Gang. This general rudder is the courtyard of the old man of the Thousand Scales Dragon, who is known as the rich and noble dragon on the rivers and lakes. The successor of the Long family for several generations is the master of the Spring Altar of the Nianbang, and he is the chief scoop and the leader of all the green houses, casinos and jewelry transactions in Jiangnan. With the prestige of the Nian Gang, coupled with the hard work of the Long family itself, the Jiangnan Long family has become a big family with a good reputation all over the world, rich and rival the country, black and white, no matter who the **** friends are, they must give them enough face.

The Long family mainly deals in the world-famous jewelry, because the number of hands is too large, and there are constantly rampant green forest heroes to fight their ideas. In order to fight against the thieves in the world, the Long family has practiced martial arts for generations, and there have been many masters from generation to generation. The old man of the dragon thousand scales dragon is the best martial arts in the mixed yuan and clear qigong, and the masters who can go through ten moves under his palm are no more than five.

Long's Villa is 70 miles in circumference, there are no less than hundreds of large and small courtyards, the main hall is wide and grand, carved beams and painted phoenixes, extremely luxurious. The cross-courtyard is extremely wide, which is enough for the purpose of martial arts. There are no less than 600 Zhuang Ding in the nursing home, and now there are still many vacant houses that are uninhabited by the heroes of the Nian Bang Zhulu who have entertained thousands of people, which shows the vastness of Longjia Villa.

This time, the New Year's Gang used spring, summer, autumn and winter posts to gather all the gangs in Baling to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and the old man of Long Thousand Scales was the main initiator. The six hall masters of the Spring Altar Lichun Hall, the Rain Water Hall, the Surprise Hall, the Spring Equinox Hall, the Qingming Hall, and the Guyu Hall under his command are all here, and even the helmsmen of the ninety rudder divisions under the command of the hall are all neatly and neatly, and there are many of them.

On this day, the sky was gloomy and dark clouds, and Long Qianlu, who was known as the rich and noble golden dragon in the rivers and lakes, led all the disciples of the branch hall under his command, as well as the henchmen of the Long family's personal guards, sitting upright in the hero hall of Longjiazhuang that temporarily served as the helmsman of the Year Gang. Old Man Long is sixty-four years old, of medium height, with crane hair, a pale face, and his eyes are deeply sunken in their sockets, flashing with a gloomy and chilling glow. On the left cheek, there was a scar more than three inches long, which made the shape of his entire face seem to be distorted and trembling. His left hand was missing one finger, and his right hand had five fingers thick, as if it was twice as thick as his left. Today he wore a dark green brocade robe, a high bun, a tight-fitting samurai suit underneath the robe, and thin-soled fast boots on his feet.

Just after the hour, I could only hear a commotion outside the Heroes Hall, and two strange-looking old men in strange costumes led more than 100 men and women in strong costumes to stride into the hall.

Long Qianlu snorted heavily, "Brother Ye, Sect Brother, you really have a calm breath."

A burst of laughter came loudly, and the purple-robed and green-shirted, red-haired, yellow-eyed, and tall old man of the two old men laughed and said, "Long Qianlu, you have lived for decades in vain, and you are so unbreathable. Over the years, you have wanted to kill the father and daughter of the Red Sky Hero, but I am afraid that you are about to go crazy."

Long Qianlu slapped the table in anger, only to hear a boom, a carved dragon and a phoenix, and the delicate coffee table was shattered by his palm, leaving only four legs buried deep in the bluestone slab in the hall.

"Zong Haogu, don't pretend to be a good person here. You think I don't know, hmph, it's just that you are selling horses and doing fur business in Saibei, and you actually sold the thunderbolt fire bombs and Zhuge God crossbows in Middle-earth to **, and made huge profits, do you also want the Red Sky Hero father and daughter to live to settle accounts with you?"

It turned out that Zong Haogu was originally the leader of the horse thieves who ran rampant, and he was known as an arrow. This is to describe the style of the horse thieves he led to come and go like the wind, and also to describe his knife skills. Zong Haogu's fast knife was passed down from the 36 knives of Taihang that shocked the world thirty years ago, and it was as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder, and he had never met an opponent in the thirty years since his debut. Later, he joined the Nian Gang, accumulated merit and became the owner of the altar, commanding the six halls and ninety-one rudders of the summer altar, doing mule and horse fur and weapons business in Hebei. and ** has a lot of dealings.

Zong Haogu, the master of the Xia Tan Altar, immediately stood upside down with red hair, his eyes narrowed, and his pale yellow eyes showed an astonishing murderous aura: "The surname is Long, how did you know these things?"

Long Qianlu sneered: "If people don't know, unless you don't do it, the surname Zong, don't think that you can stay out of the matter, today we have this annual gang meeting, just to do it together, kill Hong Sixue, and no one will want to get out of it."

At this time, the blue shirt and white belt on the side, the thin elder with long hair and bronze face hurriedly stopped between the two and said, "You don't have to quarrel, this time we are gathered here, in order to find a long-term plan for the Nian Gang, everyone has the same purpose, so why quarrel over trivial matters."

When Long Qianlu and Zong Haogu heard the advice of the old man in the blue shirt, they both stomped their feet heavily and returned to their seats to sit down, obviously admiring the old man in the blue shirt.

And this blue-shirted old man is the owner of the Qiutan altar, Bashu, the gate lord of Hainan, forty years ago with a lone army and the founding emperor of the Great Sui Yang Jian's 200,000 army for ten years and finally won the overlord of Bashu Seven-Star Divine Sword Song Zheng. Song Zheng and the Song Jiabao under his command were in charge of all the Shu brocade, gold, jewelry, green houses, casinos, dart shops, and even foot merchants, street vendors, inns, pawnshop businesses, as well as the private salt business in Jiangnan and southern Sichuan. If Li Shimin unifies the world, and Hong Sixue succeeds in disbanding the Nian Gang, Long Qianlu's loss is only his family business, Zong Haogu will go back to the horse thief at most, and Song Zheng will not only lose all the family industry, but also the Bashu world, which he has worked hard for forty years, will also be lost. Therefore, he should be the one who doesn't want Li Shimin to win the world the most among the three, and he also wants to kill Hong Sixue the most.

At this time, Song Zheng sat on the Taishi chair placed in the middle of the Hero Hall as a matter of course, stroked his long hair slightly, and asked slowly, "Is this girl Hong Sixue really coming alone?"

Long Qianlan coughed dryly and said, "Brother Song Mingjian, in order to appease this girl's heart, I made it clear on the spring, summer, autumn and winter post that she could bring someone here."

"Hey," Song Zheng sighed and said, "We originally intended to have a plot against her, so why pretend to be generous and let her bring one more person. As long as Red Sky Man is in hand, there is no worry that she will not come. Although this has nothing to do with the overall situation, if outsiders know about it, it will really add to the laughing stock."

Long Qianlu's face flushed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to refute it with disgust. When Zong Haogu heard this, he was secretly amused in his heart, and secretly glanced at Old Man Long with a pair of yellow eyes, with a smug look on his face. He grabbed a large handful of red beard under his chin and said, "I said, since Hong Sixue is already coming, it is useless for us to keep Red Sky Hero, it is better to kill him with a knife."

Song Zheng sneered and said, "It's okay, just ask the sect master to do it, and in the future, we will listen to the sect master's orders and take you as the helper."

When Zong Haogu heard this, his face was covered with sweat, and he even claimed, "Don't dare, don't dare." It turned out that he suddenly thought that if he killed the previous generation of helpers, the crime of killing the master would be cut by a thousand knives, and at that time, not only would he not be able to be the helper, but he would also not be the altar master, and it would be a question of whether he could save his life.

Long Qianlu secretly breathed a sigh in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "In Brother Song's opinion, what should I do?"

Song Zheng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said, "As long as Hong Sixue dares to come here and personally announce the dissolution of the Year Gang, we can try her in the Hall of Heroes for the crime of treason, and kill this father and daughter in a dignified manner." He smiled, looked at the two altar masters in spring and summer, and said, "When the time comes, if Brother Long, or Brother Zong, wants to be the helper, I have no objection."

Long Qianlu and Zong Haogu hurriedly humbly conceded, "How dare you, how dare you."

At this time, Zong Haogu suddenly said, "It's not good, I did it wrong this time?"

Song Zheng and Long Qianlu asked in unison, "What's wrong?"

Zong Haogu sweated on his forehead, and said, "I didn't expect Brother Song to remind me of the stakes, and I heard that it was that person who accompanied Hong Sixue, so I was in a hurry and selected a master to intercept and kill her."

"What?" Song Zheng and Long Qianlu were all taken aback. Song Zheng said, "Who is here with her?"

Zong Haogu sighed and said, "This person has only debuted for a year, and he has already done several earth-shattering things in the rivers and lakes. He once defeated the Qiankun Stick Lei Yechang, defeated the cannon knife Luo Yixiao among the four elders of Qingfeng Hall, and the Moon Chasing Soul Chabo and the Demon Axe Lu Zaiyuan. In the first battle of Luoyang, he defeated Xie Manting, the head of Songshan, the golden Baiba of Luoyang's divine sword, Chen Jinghua, the jade goddess sword, and more than a dozen disciples of the Yue Nu Palace, killing the five tigers of the Jin family, and the end of the shock of the Central Plains."

Song Zheng's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Peng of Qingzhou Pengmen, the young master who broke into the Shu cottage alone, suffered knife wounds and blood, killed the rain with all his might, and was ruthless with the flower shovel and Yue Shuaikong?"

Zong Haogu exclaimed, "What? When did he go to Bashu?"

Song Zheng sighed: "I don't know much about this matter, but the prestige of the Bashan Seven Evils is too loud, this time the whole army was wiped out, and the news immediately spread all over the streets and alleys of Bashu, I believe that with the Bashu fleet and caravan going north, this matter will definitely spread to the world."

Long Qianlu was shocked, "Brother Song, your brother's outcast Yue Shuaikong has such a sword technique, is it impossible to defeat a young man?"

Song Zheng closed his eyes and sighed, "Brother Mugong has two major regrets in his life, first, he didn't see the sword god Gu Tianya's alluring swordsmanship, and second, there was a rebel Yue Shuaikong who did all kinds of evil under the door."

It turned out that the Song family was a hero, and the eldest brother Song Mu created the South China Sea Partial Blade Swordsmanship, the sword leaned on the Partial Front, and went to Qimen, opening up a new world of martial arts, and inspiring the left-handed sword that prevailed in later generations, the chaotic cloak sword, which has been powerful in the world since then. Later, when he was lonely in his later years, he accepted a disciple, who was the left-handed sword sword Yue Shuaikong. Song Mu taught his swordsmanship, but Yue Shuaikong was unwilling to obey discipline because of his extreme and stubborn personality, and he collided with the upright Song Mu several times and was expelled from the door wall. Later, Yue Shuaikong created an original killer club on the rivers and lakes, killing countless people, which caused Song Muhainan's faction to suffer great notoriety.

Long Qianlu turned his head to Zong Hao Gu and said, "This person is so powerful, can your people resist it? He is a master who has defeated Lei Yechang. Last time we besieged and killed Lei Yechang, we lost eight hall masters and three elders."

Zong Hao Gu said: "Last time, we were careless, and it was not the hall master elder who was good at martial arts that we sent, so he took people first and killed several people in a row. This time we are assassination, I have reached an agreement with Qingfeng Hall, let them send masters to train dozens of dead soldiers under my altar, and let the two hall masters of Daxia and Xiaoxia, who have the strongest hard skills in our altar, and more than 20 helmsmen masters who are good at making Qimen blades go out together, there should be no problem."

Song Zheng said angrily, "Sect Brother, last time we cooperated with Qingfeng Hall, I already disapproved of it, and as a result, everyone made a fuss together. Why do you want to get involved with Qingfengtang again this time?"

Zong Haogu smiled and said, "I'm just borrowing their expertise, not going along with them. Why should Brother Song be angry?"

Song Zheng said coldly: "You'd better pray to God and worship Buddha, pray that this assassination fails, if you succeed, I'm afraid you have to bear this crime of killing the master!"

Zong Haogu was dumbfounded, and desperately held on to the seat with his hands, unable to speak for a long time.
