Since the Ming Dynasty, China's coastal areas have been plagued by constant troubles, although the court has repeatedly sent troops to encircle and suppress, but it cannot be broken. In the final analysis, the pirates are mostly composed of overseas ronins, and there are often strong and powerful people secretly supporting, often riding the wind, treading the waves, coming and going without a trace, and their whereabouts are elusive, so the bandits are difficult to cure for a long time.

Some time ago, because of the martial arts conference, many warriors from Jiangsu and Zhejiang went to the capital, resulting in the emptiness of the civil armaments in various parts of the Yangtze River, and the government was not strictly guarded, and the thieves took the opportunity to resurrect and plunder again. Although there were still warriors in Jiangnan who resisted spontaneously, they were eventually outnumbered, and instead incurred the disaster of killing.

Meijiazhai is the best example.

Even if there are the masters of Xiaoyaomen who rushed back from the capital to help, they still did not avoid the disaster, the Mei family has been in decline, and the Mei family's son Merlot has also fallen off the cliff because of the enemy's pursuit, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

When the news came out, the soldiers and civilians in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were increasingly afraid of the Japanese invaders, and then gradually lost confidence in the first gate in the south of the Yangtze River. If this goes on for a long time, and the Japanese invaders land again, no one among the people will dare to organize resistance spontaneously. As long as it is not involved, they will not dare to set themselves on fire, and the resulting result will only make the thieves more rampant.

Jiangnan was originally the sphere of influence of the four major families in the rivers and lakes, but a Meijiazhai made Xiaoyaomen very unpopular. There are even rumors in the rivers and lakes that Xiaoyaomen has been in decay for a long time, and it is no longer able to lead Jiangnan Wulin, and the defeat is only in an instant.

When this word reached the ears and eyes of everyone in Xiaoyaomen, it was a great loss of face, but there was nothing to be done for the time being.

Xiaoyaomen, the director of Xiaoyaomen, naturally understands the current situation, in the first battle of the capital, Xiaoyaomen has been injured, and he has been chased and killed by the mortal enemy Poison Beast Gorge all the way, and the Japanese are dead and refurbished, and the situation is very fierce. There is a strong enemy in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and Xiaoyaomen seems to have reached the point of life and death.

Ren Xiaoyao thought of these trivial matters, and he was upset, but he was temporarily powerless to return to the sky.

The Poison Beast Gorge suddenly disappeared, but it certainly did not go away, and most of them were planning a bigger conspiracy. As for the Japanese invaders, they don't know where they are hiding on the sea, and they don't know anything about the backs of the forces. In the previous deal with Meijiazhai, the Japanese didn't even come in person, but just hired some Jianghu ronin, and they had already turned Meijiazhai upside down. If the Japanese invade on a large scale, I am afraid that the free gate will not be able to prevent it.

There is a saying that open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent.

The first task is to find out the enemy's situation.

Fortunately, the masters of the Tang Sect saw that the Xiaoyao Gate was surrounded by strong enemies, so they did not leave for the time being, but intended to help. There is also the big swordsman double sword Luo Youdong, who also wants to meet the gang of Dongying thieves who come and go without a trace.

So Ren Xiaoyao recuperated while sending more sentries to inquire about the whereabouts of the Poisonous Beast Gorge and the thieves, and tried to be as prepared as possible. In addition, Xiaoyaomen is also re-contacting the martial arts heroes from all walks of life in Jiangnan, wanting to form a Jiangnan alliance again to achieve the effect of jointly fighting against the Japanese.

However, because of Meijiazhai, the warriors of the rivers and lakes responded very little, which disappointed Ren Yao.

Xiaoyao Water Pavilion, Ren Xiaoyao sat alone in front of the pavilion, looking at the sea deeply, the sound of footsteps behind him came, Ren Xiaoyao didn't look back, and asked directly: "How is it?" ”

The person who came was his eldest disciple Tian Shilie, and it was he who was responsible for inquiring about intelligence and liaising with other Jiangnan sects these days. Huang Yuefeng's father and son were separated and reunited for a long time, and Ren Xiaoyao did not arrange for them to do things for the time being, so that their father and son could get together more. Tianming, Ren Xiaoyao always felt that this kid couldn't be reassured, so he never let him be alone. From this point of view, among the Xiaoyao Gate, the only one who can solve the problem for Ren Xiaoyao is still Tian Shilie.

"Back to Master, although there are many rumors in the rivers and lakes these days, none of them are accurate, and the whereabouts of the Japanese are still difficult to ascertain." Tian Shilie said with some disappointment.

"The enemy is dark and I am clear, if you want to turn over, how easy is it!" When Ren Xiaoyaomen heard this, he sighed helplessly: "What about the ghost? ”

"The people in the Poison Beast Gorge have also been traced, as if they have suddenly disappeared." Tian Shilie replied.

"The calmer you are, the more careful you have to be. Send more people to expand the range, and be sure to find out the old ghost. Ren Xiaoyao's tone suddenly became stern, obviously dissatisfied with Tian Shilie's report.

"Master, we have been looking for so many days, and we haven't seen anyone from the Poisonous Beast Gorge, could it be that they have already left Jiangnan and returned to Guangxi." Tian Shilie asked tentatively.

"No way. Based on the old man's understanding of the ghost road, he is a guy who will not give up until he reaches his goal, and now that he has the upper hand, it is absolutely impossible to stop easily. He's wanted to deal with me all his life, and if he misses this one, he'll probably never have a chance again. "Ren Xiaoyao has always been a very sober person, when he saw through those so-called false names.

He knew that this was the most dangerous time for the Loose Gate, and his enemies knew this very well, so they would definitely not be kind.

Since ancient times, it has been a success.

If Xiaoyaomen passes this hurdle, then Xiaoyaomen will have a chance to make a comeback.

If you can't break through, the day when Xiaoyaomen will be removed from the rivers and lakes is probably not far away.

Obviously, no one is aware of this except Ren Xiaoyao himself.

The tree is a big move, Xiaoyaomen is known as the leader of the Jiangnan martial arts, and it has recruited Jianghu warriors to fight against the Japanese pirates on the sea all the year round, so the traces of the current defeat will naturally become the top target of the Japanese pirates.

As long as Xiaoyaomen is defeated, Jiangnan Wulin will be a plate of loose sand, and the Japanese will be able to do whatever they want, even if it is the government, it is powerless to levy.

In addition, Xiaoyaomen has stood in the rivers and lakes for decades, and there are many enemies, so it is the most dangerous now.

"Okay, no matter how many people that disciple sends out, he will definitely find out the Japanese and the ghosts." Tian Shilie said, and was about to turn around to do this, but found that there was another person standing behind him at some point.

This man is a clever person, and he doesn't know when he will come behind him.

"Luo Shaoxia, what's the matter with you?" Ren Xiaoyao still didn't look back, it seemed that he had already known that there was one more person behind him.

"I listened to the discussion between my predecessors and Brother Tian just now, and I couldn't help but listen to one more sentence. At present, Xiaoyaomen is surrounded by strong enemies, and if you want to find out the news, you will definitely be prevented by the enemy, so it is better to let this outsider do it for you, and maybe there will be unexpected gains. "Luo Youdong is actually an idle person, and this time he can take the initiative to ask for help, and he is also standing on the national righteousness.

"Luo Shaoxia can help out, that's naturally great. Tian'er, just do what Luo Shaoxia wants, as soon as you need, you must be ready. Ren Yaoyao said happily.

"There are a lot of bad things, as long as Brother Tian sends a few delicate contact errand runners with me, then it will be better." Luo Youdong replied.

"It's easy, then there's Lao Shaoxia." Tian Shilie immediately agreed.
