At present, Poyang Lake is very chaotic, and with the attack on Jiulian Village by Shuangye Village, several major water villages have been attacked by each other. The hatred that the big guys had accumulated for seven or eight years was all ignited at once. For a while, you beat me and I beat you, and I couldn't tell who was with whom.

Cinnabar originally wanted to make a joint vertical and horizontal, but after calculating it, he found that there was no hatred between Shuangye Village and Jinhu Village, and there was a pot of porridge between other water villages. The two open-faced allies of Jiulianzhai suddenly backstabbed on the third day of the war, and they were caught off guard by Jiulianzhai. Jiulianzhai, the most powerful, was bullied.

Although it was a fight, the battle was not fierce, and every time there was a fight, as long as more than 20 people were injured and fell to the ground, the two sides were scattered, and it was not even possible to tell who was higher and who was lower. It's not even as good as a street thug fight.

The brawl of this scale will stop in half a month at most, which is very inconsistent with Cinnabar's expectations. In order to make the battle more intense, Cinnabar resorted to some means: she asked Tang Bailing to burn the granary of Jinhu Village.

At this time, Jinhu Village was in a hurry, regardless of the dissuasion of Shuangye Village, and entangled more than 200 people to kill Jiulian Village, and the death toll on both sides of this battle exceeded 80, and more than 60 people were folded into Jinhu Village alone. After such a long time of fighting, it can be regarded as seeing bloodshed. For a while, the entire Poyang Lake calmed down, and these bandits who had lived a good life for a few years finally remembered one thing again: the rivers and lakes are to fight and kill - without strength, who will talk to you about human affairs?

began to have a water village secretly accumulating strength.

In the past, when there was a conflict on the water, the two sides of the conflict would scold first, but if they couldn't scold them, they would withdraw their troops when their heads were bleeding. Now it's different, the two sides are very restrained at first, and when their patience reaches the limit, they directly copy the knife and cut people. is no longer the warm you and me, but the life and death of real swords and guns.

"How good is it to be like this earlier? Let me be on fire for a few days," Cinnabar looked out the window, her expression indignant, "Are these bandits used to living a stable life? I don't have any professional ethics at all, so I really feel at ease to carry my bag. What can you do as a coolie? Can you make money? Guarding such a good waterway, robbing, killing, day by day is like playing at home."

Tan Wushuang behind him said dissatisfiedly: "Now the death toll in several water villages has reached more than one hundred and fifty, in case your identity is revealed, these bad debts will be counted on your head."

Cinnabar emphasised: "They are water bandits, and they make a living by robbing homes and houses. They are just cowardly when they go to their peers, and when they see ordinary people and caravans, they are not soft at all, and they do not do less to kill people and sell goods. It's a good thing, and if you can, it's not impossible to destroy them all."

As he was talking, Tang Bailing pushed the door in.

"Cinnabar!" Shout at the door.

Cinnabar asked, "Sister Tang, what's wrong?"

Tang Bailing was a little anxious: "Just now, a few people from the village sent people to Jiulian Village, it seems that they want to make peace."

"Peace?" Cinnabar frowned, "This is just the beginning, why do you want to make peace again?"

Cinnabar poured Tang Bailing a cup of tea, and Tang Bailing said while drinking, "I don't know, if they die down, the chaos you imagined won't come. Or...... Cast out a few of the people who went to make peace?"

Cinnabar shook his head: "They are not all fools, I guess someone can guess that someone is behind this matter, this kind of beating stick can no longer be used, if I use it again, my little trick will be exposed."

"Then you can't just wait for them to let go of their hatred, right?"

Cinnabar smiled: "I have learned about it during this time, and the grudges between the various water villages cannot be resolved in a few days, not to mention the expansion of Jiulian Village in the past few years. I guess it's those three little water villages that I'm going to talk about today, right?"

"Yes, the three of them are not very strong."

"It's not that they don't know the ambition of Jiulian Village, at this time, talking about peace is nothing more than wanting to preserve their strength to the maximum, so leave this matter to me. Sister Tang, accompany me out tomorrow...... Fatty."

"What's the matter?"

"You go and hire a boat, it's a little bigger, we'll all use it tomorrow for the day, the boatmen are ready, just dock in Beiqu Town."

Tan Wushuang has also been accustomed to cinnabar giving orders recently, so he didn't complain and went out obediently

Hire a boat.

When he reached the door, Cinnabar shouted again: "Don't hire in Hewu Town, go directly to Beiqu Town."

"I see."

After giving these instructions, Cinnabar stretched out, walked out of the room, and sat down on the steps. Tang Bailing sat beside her and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do tomorrow?"

"Go and lobby those three little water villages, and talk to them about the stakes."

"Isn't it good for you to show your face like this?"

"It's okay, I just want them to remember me. When these things are over, let them seek revenge on Cinnabar."

"Then why did you lobby the three of them? They were less than six hundred in all, and many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled."

"No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and without these people, it will not be lively."

After speaking, Cinnabar took off the mask on his face, revealing Li Fenglan's face. She looked around the yard, this house was rented by her later, an ordinary family's yard, two bedrooms, and other facilities, and the price was not high.

"Sister Tang," Li Fenglan said with a smile, "let's go rowing."

"Boating?"

"Yes, practice, you'll need it when necessary. And you have to practice it too."

…

Cinnabar and tourmaline, the names of these two have long spread among the bandits. In the past few days of the melee, the fighting style of Shuangye Village and Jiulian Village is much more rigorous than that of other small water villages, at least in terms of time. The water bandits are a large group of rabble, there are no masters in charge, and many of them are even ordinary contractors, and their combat effectiveness is not much different from that of local ruffians and hooligans. The only good thing: they dare to kill.

Now the strength shown by these two water villages has long gone beyond the scope of water bandits, and no one believes them if they don't have smart people behind them.

In this way, the names cinnabar and tourmaline spread. What kind of ghost valley faction, what vertical and horizontal lineage, is rumored to have a nose and eyes. At first, Cinnabar made up a Guigu faction, just to look mysterious, who knew that after word of mouth from the bandits, all the settings of the Guigu faction were completed by them.

What is the Guigu faction originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they have more than one line of internal strength. The vertical and horizontal veins alone are divided into two factions: "vertical" and "horizontal". The differences between the two factions can be traced back to the Zhang Yi and Su Qin periods, and the two factions fought for thousands of years. The cinnabar and tourmaline that came out of the mountain this time were to compete for a secret treasure somewhere in Poyang Lake, and the location of the secret treasure was just between Shuangye Village and Jiulian Village.

Now, even cinnabar doesn't bother to make any excuses for yourself, as long as you say it is mysterious enough, someone will help you make up for the excuses.

…

In the teahouse by Poyang Lake in Raozhou, Dusk Cloud sat by the window, quietly staring at the lake. Hong Qiao sang softly behind him, and one of his men stood beside him, whispering something.

"Li Fengyao has taken over the original Li family's mansion, and now the whole Jianghu is very jealous of her. However, I heard from the people who escaped from the Blackwater Gang that the idler's hall didn't want to make a big deal and had been preventing Li Fengyao from killing people."

Twilight thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the Idler's Hall now?"

"Still in Yangzhou, during this time, they traveled all day long, and did nothing else."

"Anything else?"

"The water bandits in Poyang Lake are fighting, on the other side of the Jiujiang River. At first, they thought it was friction between the bandits, but now it seems that the situation is not simple. I heard that the current bandits are roughly divided into two camps, and behind each camp there is a descendant of the Guigu faction to give advice."

Twilight frowned, "Ghost Valley Pie? Is there such a sect?"

"This sect is very mysterious, and they will only appear whenever there is a change of hands for thousands of years."

"The country has changed hands? Sounds like they're doing a lot of things, so how can they be interested in a few bandits?"

"I heard it's for a secret treasure somewhere in Poyang Lake."

"What treasure?"

"My subordinates don't know."

"Is that all?"

"I also heard the names of those two people, one is called cinnabar and the other is called tourmaline."

Twilight mutters two names: "Cinnabar...... Tourmaline ......

」

Morning Mist suddenly exclaimed, "Emerald! Amber! Cinnabar! Tourmaline! It can't be a coincidence, right?"

"It doesn't look like it."

He turned around and asked the subordinate, "Tell me about the idler's hall in Yangzhou."

The subordinate told the story of the idler's time in Yangzhou, and after speaking, Duyun was sure of one thing: Li Fenglan in Yangzhou should be fake, maybe Amber was pretending.

Chenwu sneered: "Li Fenglan knows how to do martial arts, and she has killed more than forty people by herself, how can she have that ability?"

Twilight stood up and said, "Go and prepare a boat for me, and go to Jiujiang tomorrow."

"Yes, Childe."

When her men withdrew, Twilight asked Hongqiao, "Have you found someone you can trust?"

"Hui Gongzi, I found it."

Twilight took out a letter from her cuff and handed it to Hong Qiao, "Send this letter to the Bai family in Luoyang."

Twilight's envelope to Red Pretty is empty, and he thinks he needs to be cautious when using Red Pretty for the first time.

Hong Qiao took the letter: "Childe, I understand."

"Let's get here today...... By the way, you can go to Jiujiang with me tomorrow."

"Yes, Childe."

The morning mist roared in his heart: "What if that cinnabar or tourmaline is really Li Fenglan! See let's bring a girl! Something is going to happen!" Look at the book

"She's not such a cautious woman."

"Yes! She is!"

The owner of this teahouse is very sensible, after Duyun cleaned up the water pie, Raozhou Jianghu is honest, can you fight again, can you beat Yu Xiaozhu overnight? So when Twilight offered to buy the teahouse, the boss didn't say a word, and immediately nodded and agreed.

But Twilight relented, and he increased the singers' share, and only raised 40% of the profits from the teahouse every month.

He can obviously rob openly, but he also left the profit for the boss, he is really gentle.

Since that day when Twilight Cloud had told his subordinates and maids about his identity, those people had become much more honest, and every time they communicated to the Luzhou side, they would give Twilight a look in advance. But even so, Twilight couldn't fully trust the gang, and always did half talk to them, never letting them figure it out.

As for the people who are hidden around the house, they have suffered an old sin during this time.

Si Ye is one of the twelve leaders of Night Feather Kozuki, and he has killed many people, so he has many enemies. Now that he has identified himself, there are countless people who want to touch and smear his neck for a while.

Yigongmen people seem to have returned to the deep mountains and old forests in the north, and every day they are like hunting rabbits, and they can always shoot a few Jianghu people who come to seek revenge.

…

Tan Wushuang rented a fairly magnificent ship, of course, the rent made Cinnabar's flesh hurt for a long time.

This time the lobbying did not go well, and the doors of the three were closed, and she was not given a chance to enter at all. In this regard, Cinnabar didn't care, as if he had thought of it a long time ago.

After visiting these three water villages, the sky was already dark.

She was dressed in red, standing on the bow of the boat and looking in the direction of Raozhou, not knowing what she was thinking.

Tang Bailing came out of the cabin and walked to her side: "Cinnabar, you don't seem to care very much."

Cinnabar smiled and said, "This is a good thing, at least it proves that they have no dealings with Jiulian Village. Although I don't really want to get rid of right and wrong, at least I don't want to follow the butt of Jiulian Village or Futaba Village."

"What's a good thing?"

Cinnabar turned her head with a mysterious expression: "Wherever I go now, it will make people think about it, they said they didn't let me in, but I stayed at the door of each water village for an hour or two. Let them want to go on their own, want to stay out of it? I won't give them a chance. Wait, in three days, they will have to fight if they don't want to."

"Then you came out with a swagger this time, so you weren't afraid that they would ambush them halfway?"

"The reason why I built such a big ship is to make them wonder how many people I have brought." Speaking of this, Li Fenglan smiled: "Sister Tang, you go tomorrow."

Jiulianzhai bar, with the identity of tourmaline. I have to give them a little sweetness, and I only tell them how to avoid risks every time, and now I have to let them take the initiative to win once."

Tang Bailing nodded: "Let's talk about the specifics later, lest the wall have ears."

Cinnabar moved her neck to go back to the cabin to rest, when she heard the faint sound of a bell.

The sound, very familiar.

She stopped to make her way back to the cabin, looking around for something.

There are several boats on the lake, both fishing and merchant boats. The boat closest to her was small, and there was an old man holding it at the stern. On the bow of the boat, a woman with a lute in her arms lifted the curtain of the cabin and walked inside.

Cinnabar saw her suddenly look around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cinnabar shook her head, her expression slightly disappointed, "It's nothing, I heard it wrong."

…

Miss Cinnabar's whereabouts are not difficult to check, as soon as the small sampan that Duyun rode arrived in Jiujiang, he heard from the passing water bandits that Cinnabar took someone to a certain water village. After beating up the water bandits and asking the location of the water village, he hurriedly chased after them.

It didn't take long to find the big ship, and at first he wasn't sure about it, but he followed it from a distance.

Seeing that the boat stopped in front of the water village, a woman in red got off the boat with a maid, but it was too far away for him to see his face clearly, just walking posture...... Not quite like that.

Finally, when it was nightfall, Cinnabar's boat did not seem to be in a hurry to go back, and the situation on the river was very slow. As the dock approached, there were more boats on the lake, and Twilight ordered her boat to come closer.

A woman in red stood at the bow of the boat, talking to her maid.

Nothing but size.

Li Fenglan's face is not so pointed, her eyes are not so attractive, and she is not so plump. Of course, it's not jadeite.

According to Duyun's thoughts, Li Fenglan, who is now in Yangzhou, is pretending to be amber, while the cinnabar and tourmaline in Jiujiang should be Li Fenglan and Jade.

When she actually saw someone, Twilight was disappointed, and even the morning fog was a little deflated.

"What's a bad name? Why do you choose a name from a stone? Are flowers and trees bad? Let people run for nothing."

Twilight still doesn't give up, "Let's see, what kind of disguise technique is used......

"You can pull it, she's a fart disguiser. And that chest ...... Forget it, let's go back, I'm sleepy."

Twilight sighed and turned to walk towards the cabin.

Hong Qiao asked, "Childe, are you going back?"

Twilight waved her hand and replied, "Go back, it's getting late." With that, he had already lowered down into the cabin.

The bell in his hand made a crisp sound with the swing of his wrist, and the sound followed the wind to the big ship.
