Pang Shiyuan stood on the deck and looked at the almost endless surface of the Liangjiang River, and couldn't help but feel that the rivers in this world are really atmospheric.

The width of the Liangjiang River, he estimated slightly, that it must be 10,000 meters, and this width is the widest part of the Yangtze River, one of China's two mother rivers, and it is just such a level.

But this Liangjiang River can only be regarded as an upper-middle level among the big rivers in the Lu Kingdom, which is enough for Pang Shiyuan to imagine how vast this dream world is.

Pang Shiyuan is not afraid of the vastness of the dream world, the wider the world, the more exciting the world, and he wants to enjoy the scenery even more.

It's a pity that Pang Jianxiang didn't have such a good interest as him, and after seeing the scenery of Liangjiang for two days, he felt that it was boring, leaving him alone here to revel in.

"Shi Yuan was so interested, and he ran to see the scenery alone." A voice came from behind him.

Pang Shiyuan turned around and smiled: "Didn't Brother Zhang come here alone?" ”

Zhang Jinyong is a friend of Pang Shiyuan who met on the boat, and he is also a Jianghu person, more than ten years older than him, just close to his real age, and the two can talk very well.

"I'm not here to see the scenery, I'm here to play chess with you." As he spoke, Zhang Jinyong lit up the chess box in his hand.

There is a board game in the dream world that is very similar to chess, and Pang Shiyuan played it a few times and got started. Because he had put a lot of effort into reality, he quickly became a master.

At least in Daizong, those who can compete with him in the door can be counted on one hand.

A few days ago, he saw Zhang Jinyong playing music there alone, so he said a few words, so the two became chess friends.

"Okay, then let's go a few times." Pang Shiyuan was also bored, so he immediately agreed.

As soon as the two of them made a move, the people on the deck gathered over to them, and while watching, they chattered and commented and made moves.

Watching chess is not a true gentleman, that is just the ideal realm.

Most people prefer to talk while watching chess, whether they are right or wrong, as if they can show a level.

Pang Shiyuan and Zhang Jinyong didn't care about the discussion of the crowd of onlookers, they accepted it when they heard it, and they didn't hear it if they didn't hear it.

As a result, the two went down and down, and it became a confrontation between the two camps on the deck, and Pang Shiyuan and Zhang Jinyong were the representatives of the two camps.

However, after all, it is the two of them who play chess, and there are naturally two different styles in chess.

Pang Shiyuan plays chess more steadily, likes to use dignified soldiers, accumulates small victories for big victories, and crushes opponents with absolute advantage.

Zhang Jinyong, on the other hand, prefers to take the sword sideways, surprise and win with one blow.

A morning just passed.

In the afternoon, the two did not swagger on the splint anymore, and went to Pang Shiyuan's room to continue playing chess. In the room, playing chess is not the main form of leisure, small talk is.

"Shi Yuan, are you going to take a boat all the way to White Crane City, and you won't stop for a tour in between?" A few days ago, Pang Shiyuan had already told Zhang Jinyong of his destination.

Pang Shiyuan took a move first, and then said, "Why don't you visit?" Every time the fleet reached a larger city, it had to stop to unload, load, and replenish supplies, which took several days. These few days are enough for my sister and me to visit. ”

Zhang Jinyong disagreed: "What can you see in just a few days? To experience the customs of a place, as well as make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, how can a few days be enough, at most you can see the flowers. I got off the boat in Fengcheng and wanted to go to Mingjian Villa to celebrate Wang Liehao's birthday, Shi Yuan, why don't you go with me? ”

Wang Liehao Pang Shiyuan of Mingjian Villa has also heard of it in Daizong, and he is a well-known senior master in the rivers and lakes, and Fengming Villa is indeed not far from Fengcheng.

It's just that it's not far away, it's just relative, and if you want to go back and forth, it will take four or five days.

Pang Shiyuan was a little embarrassed: "It seems too late in time, right?" I remember that the captain of the ship seemed to say that he would only stay in Fengcheng for three days. ”

"It's too late, it's too late, it's a big deal to get on the next boat. Shi Yuan, your master let you go down the mountain to experience, but it didn't make you sit on the boat in a daze every day. Zhang Jinyong persuaded Pang Shiyuan.

Pang Shiyuan was a little moved.

With his understanding of the rivers and lakes, this kind of birthday banquet, wedding banquet, first birthday banquet or something, almost all of them are the places where the stories of the rivers and lakes take place. It has been a few days since he came down from Daizong, but except for a little contact with the real rivers and lakes in Licheng, he has not set foot in it at all.

Speaking of which, his experience is really unqualified.

Zhang Jinyong saw that Pang Shiyuan was a little moved, so he continued to agitate: "You said you were going to Hengzhou, then it would take at least two months." For such a long time, what difference does it make if there are more days in the middle? ”

It really is no different.

Pang Shiyuan had already been moved, but he didn't agree directly in his mouth: "When it's time to eat, I'll discuss it with my sister." ”

Zhang Jinyong wanted to directly ask Pang Shiyuan to settle the matter, but he also knew that it was too much, so the topic of the two turned back to martial arts.

Zhang Jinyong uses a sword, which is very different from his strange and swordsman's chess skills, and his swordsmanship is even gorgeous, which is amazing.

Pang Shiyuan only had a little discussion with him, and he was impressed by this gorgeous sword technique called Qianhua Sword Technique. It is a kind of swordsmanship that is completely different from Dai Zong's simple and unpretentious swordsmanship, which is extremely beautiful, and the virtual and real are uncertain, which makes people dizzy.

However, Pang Shiyuan felt in his heart that this swordsmanship was a bit flashy.

When he was sparring, he was a little confused by the changing swordsmanship of the virtual and the real, and he lost the other, because he wanted to break the swordsmanship with moves.

Moves are not his forte, so it is inevitable that he will be suppressed.

But if he really wants to do it, Pang Shiyuan will not pay attention to how subtle the virtual and real changes of Qianhua's swordsmanship are, and directly sweep through the past with brute force, forcing Zhang Jinyong to change his moves, and he can destroy the beauty of Yiqiē.

Of course, the friendship between the two was not enough for Pang Shiyuan to put together the thoughts in his heart, but he also nodded a little.

It's a pity that Zhang Jinyong seems to be very satisfied with this set of swordsmanship, and he can't be ignored, so he won't be bored.

Although I have some opinions on the Qianhua swordsmanship in my heart, any martial arts function to form an independent set of martial arts has its merits, and the virtual and real changes of the Qianhua swordsmanship are still unique.

And Zhang Jinyong also seemed to be curious about his Daizong martial arts, although he was very satisfied with his martial arts in his tone, he didn't seem to mind knowing more about different styles of martial arts.

So the conversation between the two is still very harmonious.

For dinner, Pang Shiyuan ate in Pang Jianxiang's room.

When he arrived on the boat, although it was also wild, Pang Zhenxiang finally didn't need to share a tent with Pang Shiyuan anymore.

Pang Shiyuan asked Pang Jianxiang's opinion, and he wanted to go to Mingjian Villa to join in the fun.

Pang Jianxiang actually wanted to go to Hengzhou as soon as possible to complete the entrustment of the old man Lu, but she also seemed to feel a little bored to stay on the boat all day, so she agreed.

As Zhang Jinyong said, there is actually no difference between a few days earlier and a few days later.

The rest of the trip went smoothly and without any problems, and the sailors, as the boat boss and sailors often say, did not show up at all.

When they arrived in Fengcheng, the two led the horse and followed Zhang Jinyong off the boat into Fengcheng, and Zhang Jinyong first wanted to enter the city to inspect the Zhang family's industry.

The Zhang family is a martial arts family in Yuanzhou, and many of the children of the Zhang family have walked the rivers and lakes, and Zhang Jinyong is one of them.

Qianhua swordsmanship is one of the representative swordsmanship of the Zhang family, Pang Shiyuan has not seen it before, but he did hear from the elders in the door.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Pang Shiyuan is willing to walk the rivers and lakes with Zhang Jinyong. Otherwise, he is not stunned, he casually meets a person on the rivers and lakes, and he leaves with him.

When the time comes, I don't know what happened!

But sometimes, the problem is to know, but not all of them are known, and the result is something wrong and missing.

When Pang Shiyuan followed Zhang Jinyong into the courtyard, he didn't take a few steps before he found that they had been faintly surrounded by heavily armed warriors.

Looking back at the courtyard gate behind him, he found that it had been blocked.

Apparently, they have again fallen into the trap.

And this time, they didn't even have a chance to escape from hopscotch, and there were crossbow arrows pointed at them on the roof.

"Brother Zhang, what does this mean?" Pang Shiyuan's face was a little bad and asked Zhang Jinyong, who had retreated to the side.

Zhang Jinyong smiled proudly, looking cunning: "What do you mean?" Isn't it obvious, murder for money! Brother Shiyuan can't even see this, right? Haha......"

At the same time, there was a sound of unbridled laughter in the courtyard, and several of them leaned forward and backward with laughter.

"Brother Zhang is not afraid of discrediting your Zhang family by doing this? The good reputation of the Zhang family for so many years is not easy to establish. It's broken, but it's only a day. Despite being surrounded, Pang Shiyuan remained calm.

According to his observations, although there were many people in this courtyard, the threat was not very large. Although these people are also considered to be people from the rivers and lakes, the aura of martial artists on their bodies is not strong, but more of the oily aura of businessmen.

In Pang Shiyuan's feeling, it is difficult for a person with this kind of aura to have truly profound martial arts.

"Thank you so much for thinking so much about the old Zhang family. It's a pity that my surname is Lizaozhang, not Gong Changzhang. No matter how good the reputation of the Chang family is, what does it have to do with me? Oh, and one more thing I forgot about you. I'm from Hung Hing Tong! ”

"Hongxingtang? Although there is a misunderstanding between me and Hongxingtang, it is not enough for you to plot against me so deliberately, right? You're not going to follow me from Licheng, are you? Pang Shiyuan was very puzzled.

Zhang Jinyong smiled: "How is it possible." Meeting you on a boat was a complete accident. If you hadn't taken the initiative to tell me your name, I wouldn't have remembered you. But since you do, and you seem to be quite rich, of course I don't mind making a vote. You say yes, right? ”

"That's right!" Pang Shiyuan nodded very approvingly, but as soon as his "typo" word came out, he and Pang Jianxiang's secret weapon had already been shot.

Pang Shiyuan has made a lot of preparations in order to walk the rivers and lakes, such as the simple marching tent before, and the current gesture code.

Pang Shiyuan gestured, Pang Jianxiang already knew what to do, and the secret weapons of the two could be shot at the same time.

Pang Shiyuan's hidden weapon is still a coin, but it has changed from a one-yuan coin to a copper coin of similar quality and size, and Pang Shiyuan's incense is a small stone.

The hidden weapon urged by the spirit rhino fingers, the crossbow archers who went straight to the rooftops with extraordinary power.

Zhang Jinyong discovered the secret weapons of the two, and it was too late to intercept them. And the crossbowmen on the roof didn't have time to react and were shot down.

They are indeed not real martial arts people, and their reactions are really much worse.

Without the crossbowmen in the way, it would be much easier to fight.

Pang Shiyuan directly took over Zhang Jinyong, and Pang Jinxiang faced everyone else alone.

Pang Shiyuan thought that he could easily defeat Zhang Jinyong, after all, when he was fighting, he had already discovered the weakness of Zhang Jinyong's swordsmanship. But as soon as he really fought, he found out that Zhang Jinyong was acting before.

Zhang Jinyong's swordsmanship is still uncertain and uncertain, and it is still dizzying, but it is no longer extremely beautiful, but full of treachery and gloomy, and its lethality has more than doubled.

But no matter how Zhang Jinyong's swordsmanship changes, Pang Shiyuan's response is always so simple, one move and one unpretentious flat push.

His every move and style is mediocre, but it can always make Zhang Jinyong's unpredictable sword shadow return in vain.

No matter how Zhang Jinyong changed, his sword could not be handed to Pang Shiyuan's body, but was beaten back step by step by Pang Shiyuan's simple moves.

One force down ten will say that this is the current situation.

The two swords struck each other, and Zhang Jinyong was forced to take a step back by Pang Shiyuan, but Pang Shiyuan did not follow up this time, and the long sword turned around and slashed towards the people who were besieging Pang Xiangxiang.

This person was shocked and fought back.

He blocked it, but Pang Shiyuan's sword was too powerful for him, and his person suddenly lost his center of gravity, and Pang Jianxiang's long sword had already pierced into his ribs in the middle of the stumble.

As soon as this person fell, Pang Jianxiang fought again and the others became more calm. And Pang Shiyuan concentrated on dealing with Zhang Jinyong.

Needless to say, the chagrin in Zhang Jinyong's heart is needless to say.

During the competition on the boat, he thought that he had figured out Pang Shiyuan's martial arts, but he didn't expect that the fledgling Pang Shiyuan not only knew how to hide one hand, but even knew how to hide several hands.

As a result, his assessment of Pang Shiyuan's martial arts was greatly skewed.

This could have been made up, after all, he had the help of people from Hongxingtang's Fengcheng stronghold.

But another accident completely bankrupted his plan to make money and kill his life.

He always thought that Pang Jianxiang was a traveling doctor with good medical skills, and his martial arts were completely negligible. And getting along these days also proves that Pang Jianxiang is indeed not interested in martial arts.

Whenever he and Pang Shiyuan talked about martial arts, Pang Jianxiang would take out a medical book and look at it, and he was not willing to interject at all.

But who would have thought that such a person who was not interested in martial arts at all, martial arts was not much weaker than him?

As a result, there is a situation where stealing chickens and rice is not a recipe for rice.

Zhang Jinyong really wanted to turn around and escape, but if he let the Hongxingtang headquarters know that because of his greed, Fengcheng's stronghold was uprooted by Pang Shiyuan, and what was waiting for him was probably three knives and six holes.

So, he's still holding up.

He felt that Pang Shiyuan's fierce fighting style would definitely not last, and Pang Jinxiang's person who fought the entire stronghold alone would definitely not last long.

He was right, but he ignored people's hearts.

The people of this stronghold are not here to fight at all, they are a stronghold for doing business and spreading news, and Hongxingtang has never expected them to be able to fight.

When the fighting is too fierce, when they see no hope, the fighting spirit inspired by these people because of money and meritorious service will dissipate.

Pang Shiyuan suppressed Zhang Jinyong with Daizong's swordsmanship with one hand, and with the other hand, he found the right time and sent out another hidden weapon, helping Pang Zhenxiang to kill one person.

And this has also become the last straw that overwhelmed the psychology of everyone in Hongxingtang's Fengcheng stronghold, although many people are still fighting, they are no longer resolute, and some people's eyes have begun to dodge.

It's just that no one could have imagined that the first person to escape was Zhang Jinyong.

Pang Shiyuan forced Zhang Jinyong to take a step back, and was just about to follow up to continue to suppress and defeat him, but he didn't want Zhang Jinyong to stop this time as soon as he retreated.

He continued to retreat, then rolled over and jumped onto the wall. After that, he turned around and ran directly, and even the little force that Pang Shiyuan shot at his hidden weapon was also borrowed by him.

Seeing him run so resolutely, Pang Shiyuan knew that it was impossible to catch him.

At this time, the rest of the people also lost the courage to fight again, and surrendered directly.

They were combatants themselves, and although the rules of the Hung Hing Hall were strict, the punishment for them was not very severe.

What's more, the fault itself this time is not them, but Zhang Jinyong's greed is too much, which implicates them.

So, they surrendered in peace.

But when they surrendered, Pang Shiyuan and Pang Jianxiang felt that it was a little tricky.

They are traveling doctors, not killers, although they are not taboo to kill, but they feel a little difficult to kill those who surrender.

In the end, the two simply ignored these people, took the money from the stronghold, and left.
