Although the Song family's ship was only a merchant ship, it was trafficking illicit salt into Shu through the Yangtze River to make a profit.

However, most of the cargo smuggling salt is in the cabins below deck, while the guest rooms are set up in the cabins above deck, and the environment is not bad.

Pushing open the window, you can see the scenery of the Yangtze River outside, all the way upstream, which is also a good trip.

After several people got on board, they did not set sail immediately.

Song Shidao arranged the two of them into the guest room separately and told them to rest for a while, and the ship was loading goods. It will be a little later to set sail.

Zhao Mingyuan was not in a hurry, so he was naturally not worried, and waited with peace of mind.

But the Goryeo woman's face was anxious.

It turned out that this Goryeo woman was Fu Junwu.

She had assassinated Yang Guang before, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. When I came to the Central Plains this time, I still wanted to get rid of Yang Guang.

I didn't expect to miss my tracks and be chased and killed by the masters in the Sui court, so I wanted to take a boat to escape.

It was precisely because of this that when he heard what Zhao Mingyuan said about Yu Wenhua and coming here, he immediately changed his mind and agreed to get on the boat.

It's because the person who chased and killed her was Yu Wenhua and the leader.

Therefore, when I heard that Yu Wenhua was going to come here, I felt uneasy.

Obviously, Song Shidao also discovered Fu Junwu's uneasy mood, and immediately activated his warm man's qualities, comforting: "Although the girl is at ease, as long as she gets on our Song family's boat, she will be safe, and absolutely no one dares to disturb her on the boat." ”

Although Fu Junwu was skeptical, she also put down her temperament and waited with peace of mind.

It was not until late afternoon that the boat left the dock and sailed upstream, heading west.

Song Shidao set up a banquet in the cabin hall and invited Zhao Mingyuan and Fu Junwu to participate.

The banquet was simple and solemn, and there were two men and two women in attendance.

After Song Shidao's introduction, Zhao Mingyuan completely determined their identities.

I saw that one of the men was about forty years old, but he was full of white hair and a silver-white beard, but he did not show the slightest sign of aging. He was born graceful and heroic, with a general demeanor, and his demeanor was very humble and polite.

He is the famous master of the Song Dynasty "Silver Whisker" Song Lu, who is famous in Jiangnan with a set of self-created "Silver Dragon Turning Method", is the uncle of Song Shidao, and is also one of the core figures of Song Valve.

The woman next to Song Lu is named Liu Jing, who is Song Lu Xinna's concubine. She is about twenty-five or sixteen, with a bewitching appearance, a hot figure, an intimate attitude with Song Lu, and an extremely sultry expression, giving people a feeling of not being very decent.

Compared with Song Lu and Liu Jing, the identities of the other two are different.

The other man was about forty years of age, with a slender figure, skin as white as snow, a thin face with eyes full of wisdom, and a scribe's attire with a graceful demeanor.

If you add another feather fan, it will be full of Zhuge Wuhou's reincarnation.

He sat at the top of the table and was clearly the most statusual.

In fact, it is precisely the case that he is the second person of Song Valve, Song Zhi, the younger brother of Song Que "Earth Sword", is one of the few sword masters in the world, and he is also famous for his wisdom.

As for the woman at the end, it doesn't seem to be too beautiful at first glance, just because her silhouette gives it a bit of masculinity.

But her snow-white skin reveals healthy pink skin, noble and elegant temperament, long legs and thin waist, bright eyes and bright teeth, all of these things are combined, and she is not inferior to Fu Junwu, who is also present, and has a very unique temperament.

And she is Song Que's most favored young daughter, Song Yuzhi.

Zhao Mingyuan was very surprised that he would meet this beauty here who could make Kou Zhong give up his country.

Of course, after the people of the Song family were introduced, Zhao Mingyuan and Fu Junwu also said their names.

Fu Junwu said her real name for the first time, and Zhao Mingyuan was sure that he had not guessed wrong.

After Song Shidao heard Fu Junwu's name, he praised it and explained the beauty of Fu Junwu's name by quoting scriptures.

Many of them have never been heard of by Fu Junwu, and she was stunned when she heard it, it turned out that my name contained so many meanings.

Unlike Song Shidao, "Earth Sword" Song Zhi has been staring at Zhao Mingyuan with burning eyes, and after Zhao Mingyuan reported his name, he showed such an expression.

Obviously, Song Zhi actually knew Zhao Mingyuan's identity for a long time

Zhao Mingyuan could only sigh in his heart, worthy of Song Valve, he was really well-informed.

In fact, the reason why they waited so long to sail was not because they were loading and unloading goods, but because they were waiting for Song Zhi and Song Yuzhi.

Although Song Que is the owner of the Song Valve, he is even more talented and uses soldiers like a god, but most of the time he is just a spiritual symbol, rarely manages mundane affairs, and most of the time concentrates on the knife in the knife grinding hall.

And Song Zhi, as the second person of Song Valve, is even more known for his resourcefulness, and is the real person in charge of Song Valve's daily affairs.

Therefore, Song Zhi is naturally well-informed, and Zhao Mingyuan's performance at Wang Tong's birthday banquet yesterday has long been known to him.

And it just so happened that he received the latest news, Song Shidao invited a young son on board. Looking at the description of the character's physiognomy, it seems to be very similar to Zhao Mingyuan.

Song Zhi immediately realized that this was very likely to be Zhao Mingyuan himself, so he hurried over with Song Yuzhi.

The dishes at the banquet are really good, although they are on the way, most of the ingredients are fresh fish from the Yangtze River, but after simple processing, they are delicious and tempting.

However, the interest of everyone at the banquet was not above this dish. Obviously, the Song Valve people were more interested in Zhao Mingyuan.

Song Lu first opened the silence and asked, "Why is Zhao Gongzi not in charge of the overall situation in Wagangzhai now, but wants to go north along the Yangtze River?"

Listening to the teacher, Zhao Gongzi is going to Baling.

Could it be that it has something to do with the Baling Gang? ”

The Song Lords speculated that Zhao Mingyuan might want to form an alliance with the Baling Gang to expand his strength and influence.

Although the business of the Baling Gang is relatively immoral. However, as the saying goes, all profitable businesses are written on top of the criminal code.

The Baling Gang trafficked human beings, opened casinos and brothels, and naturally made money every day. There is hardly any sect that is richer than them.

The most powerful gangs in the rivers and lakes are the so-called "Eight Gangs and Ten Guilds".

The reason why the Baling Gang can rank first in the "Eight Gangs and Ten Associations" is because there is enough money to expand its strength, and it has recruited many good players, and its strength is extremely strong.

In troubled times, power comes first, and many benevolence, righteousness and morality are left behind.

Therefore, the Baling Gang is also a good alliance partner.

However, it seems that judging from the previous intelligence, Zhao Mingyuan seems to have killed the Xianggui father and son of the Baling Gang in Pengcheng not long ago.

Xianggui is the core figure of the Baling Gang, but Zhao Mingyuan's move offended the Baling Gang.

Could it be that Zhao Mingyuan is now going to bear the guilt of Jing Jing, or if he doesn't fight and doesn't know each other, he will go to turn the war into a jade silk.

In short, Zhao Mingyuan went to the Baling Gang alone this time, and Song Zhi thought that his trip was indeed a bit reckless, and there might be a lot of danger.

Regarding the temptation of the Song family, Zhao Mingyuan did not hide it, and said bluntly: "This trip is indeed related to the Baling Gang. If things go well, there will be no Baling Gang in the future. ”

Song Lu was shocked: "You, you're going to find trouble with the Baling Gang!" ”

Song Zhi also spoke: "I heard that not long ago, Zhao Gongzi once killed the Xianggui father and son of the Baling Gang in Pengcheng. Could it be that Zhao Gongzi has a grudge against the Baling Gang? ”

In fact, the Baling Gang has formed a big enmity with many people because of human trafficking.

Therefore, Song Zhi thought that Zhao Mingyuan was also trafficked by the Baling Gang because of some relatives, so he had a mortal enemy, so he had to deal with the Baling Gang wholeheartedly and never die.

Song Yuzhi even said: "How can you deal with the Baling Gang alone? It's better to think long-term. ”

After all, almost everyone knows about the Baling Gang's trafficking of women and children, and Song Yuzhi's temperament is naturally unsightly.

Zhao Mingyuan said: "Thank you Yuzhi for your concern."

However, the Baling Gang is just a clown.

It's a bit of a problem, but it doesn't hurt me in the slightest.

There is no personal vendetta with the Baling Gang in Xia, as for why he wants to deal with the Baling Gang, this is because he is a little blind to what the Baling Gang has done.

That's all. ”

Zhao Mingyuan's words were indeed arrogant, which made everyone stunned.

Just because he can't see it, he wants to destroy the Baling Gang.

Who do you think you are? This is too arrogant.

What's even more terrifying is that Zhao Mingyuan not only said this, but also did it.

He not only killed Xianggui's father and son, but also went directly to the headquarters of the Baling Gang to destroy the Baling Gang.

What kind of person is this!

Is there really such a person?

Song Yuzhi couldn't help asking: "Is it really because you can't see it?" ”

Zhao Mingyuan said: "Not bad. The Baling Gang dared to openly sell human beings, which broke up how many families' wives and wives? Since I have this ability, I naturally can't ignore it. ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Mingyuan's determined eyes, and made sure that he was not just talking, but really wanted to destroy the Baling Gang, and couldn't help but look at each other.

After a while, Song Lucai persuaded: "Everyone in the world knows that the Baling Gang has done a lot of evil, but it can still stand in the rivers and lakes for many years without falling, naturally there is a reason.

In addition to Yang Guang's support, but also because of his strength.

I heard that Zhao Gongzi has reached the realm of a grandmaster at a young age, but he is a young man and a genius.

However, Xiao Milling of the Baling Gang should not be underestimated.

Moreover, with its strong financial resources, the Baling Gang has recruited many evil faction experts. I even heard that Xiao Mo seems to have something to do with the Demon Gate, and there may be a master of the Demon Gate hidden in the Baling Gang.

Therefore, the strength of the Baling Gang is definitely not simple.

Zhao Gongzi has to think twice! ”

Zhao Mingyuan replied with thanks for the reminder, but when everyone saw his expression, they knew that Zhao Mingyuan didn't have these things in their hearts at all.

Obviously, Zhao Mingyuan still insisted on going his own way and was ready to go alone to deal with the Baling Gang.

When the cunning Song Zhi saw Zhao Mingyuan's appearance, he already understood that Zhao Mingyuan was extremely confident in himself.

Obviously, Zhao Mingyuan's strength was only stronger than the information they heard.

Therefore, Song Zhi suddenly said with great righteousness: "Okay! Zhao Gongzi is so righteous, my Song valve naturally can't be left behind. I am willing to advance and retreat with Zhao Gongzi, mobilize manpower, and destroy this evil Baling Gang together. ”
