"Well, that's good! On the day of the birthday banquet, are you ready to deal with the Purple Mist Villa?"

Qin Yihan looked at the faces of everyone present, and finally stopped his gaze on Li Yisheng's face.

"Rest assured, it's all ready. When the time comes, we will definitely let the Purple Mist Mountain Villa obediently hand over the Tianxiang Tower and the Treasure Pavilion to us. ＂

Li Yisheng shook his hand, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile.

And Ouyang Bing, the east helmsman who was standing on the side, also nodded and said:

"What the military advisor said is very true, Gushan Town is the largest and richest town among the fourteen towns under our jurisdiction in Ningshui County, and the Tianxiang Tower and Qizhen Pavilion of Ziwu Mountain Villa are making gold every day.

And we can only watch, in the past, everyone was a third-rate force, so forget it.

Now that the gang leader has become a second-rate martial artist, then we can't let the Purple Mist Mountain Villa monopolize Gushan Town. ＂

"Lord Dongru is right, we can't watch Purple Mist Mountain Villa eat alone. ＂

"That's it, we must ask them to hand over the Tianxiang Tower and the Treasure Pavilion. ＂

"If they don't give it, just destroy them. ＂

After listening to Ouyang Bing's words, the other helmsmen standing in the lobby also echoed loudly.

"Alright! Now that it's decided, let's leave it at that! Let's go down and get busy!"

After Qin Yihan stopped the voices of several people, he waved his hand.

Hearing this, everyone saluted Qin Yihan, and then exited the lobby.

Five days later, on the official road leading to Ningshui City in Gushan Town, Luo Tianhe took Luo Chen towards Ningshui City, followed by star-eyed Lige and ten guards.

Purple Mist Mountain Villa is 40 miles away from Ningshui City, and it can be reached in half an hour. But the birthday banquet will not be held until tomorrow, so Luo Tianhe and the others are not in a hurry and walk slowly all the way.

After walking for more than an hour, Luo Tianhe and the others came to Ningshui City.

At this time, many people were queuing up to pay taxes and enter the city at the gate of Ningshui City. In a pergola next to it, a city gate official was leaning on a long table with his feet on it, drinking tea, and watching with a smile on his eyes as the people threw the copper plates into the wooden box one by one.

When Luo Chen and his party arrived, the city gate official was clever, hurriedly jumped up from the chair, ran over with an angry face, and slapped the soldiers who were about to let Luo Tianhe and the others get off their horses and pay taxes.

"Blind your dog's eyes, and stay put. ”

Then, the city gate official looked at Luo Tianhe with a sneer: "How come Lord Luo Zhuang has time to come to Ningshui City, you don't have to get off the horse to pay taxes, just do it directly." ”

After saying that, the city gate official hurriedly asked people to get out of the way.

"That's it, thank you!"

Luo Tianhe sat on the horse, arched his hand towards the city gate official, clamped the horse's belly, and took Luo Chen and the others into the city.

"Head, who are they?"

The soldier who was slapped rubbed his head that was still aching, looked at the back of Luo Tianhe and the others leaving, and asked.

The city gate official looked in the direction of the city gate and said softly: "They are from the Purple Mist Villa, and that person just now is Luo Tianhe, the owner of the Purple Mist Villa. ”

After speaking, the city gate official glanced at the soldier again:

"You kid almost hurt Lao Tzu, even if you don't know them when you first came, but you should also know the purple mist pattern painted on the clothes they are wearing, and you should be clever for Lao Tzu in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, be sure to pay attention to the small ones in the future. ”

The soldier was startled, and hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he just asked the master of the fourth largest force in Ningshui County to get off his horse and pay taxes.

As soon as Luo Chen entered Ningshui City, a bustling and lively atmosphere came to his face, and there were bustling crowds everywhere.

As soon as he walked a few steps, Luo Chen sensed several faint eyes looking at them and his group, and after a while, the owners of these eyes disappeared into the crowd one after another.

Since breaking through to the middle of the third rate, Luo Chen's perception range has increased to five zhang, and within five zhang, nothing can escape Luo Chen's eyes.

Luo Chen knew that those people just now were spies of some forces, so he didn't care about them and let them go.

Luo Tianhe took Luo Chen and the others through a few streets, and came to the Li Ji grocery store opened by Ziwu Mountain Villa in Ningshui City.

Li Ji Grocery Store is the only store of Ziwu Villa in Ningshui City, doing business at the same time, passing on some news, and for people who come to Ningshui City from Ziwu Mountain Villa to settle down.

The front door of Li Kee Grocery Store faces the bustling main road, and behind it is Ningshui Lake.

Ningshui Lake communicates with the Ningshui River, which is a branch of the Han River, a tributary of the Great River. Follow the Ningshui River into the Han River, then into the Great River, down the river, and finally into the sea.

At this time, Luo Chen and Luo Tianhe stood on the private dock at the back door of Li Kee's grocery store, watching the large and small boats coming and going on Ningshui Lake and the high-rise boats docked on the large dock in the common area.

"Dad, those people should be from the Three Rivers Gang, right?"

Suddenly, Luo Chen found that at the entrance and exit between Ningshui Lake and Ningshui River, there were some big men with weapons guarding there, and each boat would pay a certain fee to the big men guarding the entrance and exit when they passed through the entrance.

Following Luo Chen's gaze, Luo Tianhe nodded.

"Yes! The Three Rivers Gang controls the water transportation of Ningshui Lake and Ningshui River, and every passing boat has to pay them a certain amount of protection money. ”

"With so many boats coming in and out of here every day, how much money do the Three Rivers Gang have to earn every day?"

Luo Chen looked at the ships coming and going in surprise.

"It's true that you earn more, but you also spend more. The Three Rivers Gang has more than 2,000 disciples, and the cost is not small.

Moreover, the Three Rivers Gang controls the water transportation in Ningshui City, which is equivalent to taking a small half of the government's taxes, and has long become a thorn in the side of the government, and the two forces often clash. ”

Luo Tianhe said calmly, not envious of the Sanhe Gang's high income.

"Owner, it's not early, it's time to eat, and the guest house has been arranged. ”

At this time, Lige walked over with a spear wrapped in cloth.

"Let's go! Let's go eat first. ”

Luo Tianhe nodded and walked towards the outside of the grocery store, with Luo Chen and Lige following behind.

"Brother Li, how are you doing with my sister?"

Luo Chen walked behind, looking at Lige with a smile.

Since the last time Wang Yuying talked about Luo Yan's marriage, Luo Ze said that she leaked her mouth, Wang Yuying found Litian and his wife, and finally both agreed.

Lige rolled his eyes at Luo Chen: "Mouthy, take care of yourself, don't think I don't know that you teach a girl to practice swords in your Yuzhu Xuan every day." ”

Hearing this, Luo Chen's head was suddenly full of black lines, and the corners of his mouth twitched; "Brother Li'er, are you mistaken? That's a ten-year-old child." ”

"What's wrong with the child? The child also grows up! Aren't you still young!"

Lige pursed his lips, didn't bother with Luo Chen, and quickly followed Luo Tianhe.

Luo Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then, looking at Lige's back with a resentful face, he chased after him.
