Chapter 105: First foray into the rivers and lakes

Before the visitor approached, one of the leading people drank first and asked. 'It's Wang Zhi below!, may I ask what you call your honorable driver?' Hearing that the man seemed to be insulting, Wang Zhi even hugged his fists and saluted, and first touched the other party's path. 'Bold boy!' This is my Taihu Gang Li Da's master!' Before the man could answer, a person next to him had already taken the lead. Hearing that the other party reported that it was the Taihu Gang, Wang Zhizhi had heard of it. It is said that it was originally a small gang entrenched in the Huainan area, but at that time, under the painstaking management of its five village owners 'Taihu Lake Five Ghosts', within a few years, the power has spread all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

It was precisely because of the vicious deeds when it expanded its power that the five village masters were all killed by the martial arts righteous path, and the Taihu Gang withered...... Unexpectedly, now there is such a momentum again! Looking at the angry horses and fresh clothes of the big men, Wang Zhi sighed secretly. "Wang Gongzi is from Jinling?" Seeing that the other party had some etiquette, Wang Zhi hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Exactly, what advice do you have?" but unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, he only heard the man in charge of the man say, 'That's right!', dozens of big men immediately turned over and dismounted, and Hulala surrounded Wang Zhi in the middle.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi also hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said to the man who was the leader, "Dare to ask the eldest brother, why is this?" The man did not answer, but asked, "Wang Gongzi was happy with the Qinhuai River the day before yesterday?" 'It's this person!' the man shouted, and the big men immediately pounced. It was useless to talk too much, so Wang Zhi had to be forced to fight with a group of big men.

At the beginning, Wang Zhi, who didn't want to hurt the enemy's life, only dealt with Taizu's long fist, but after learning that the first few men were the five ghosts of the Taihu Gang of the new Taihu Lake, and they were all vicious; After such an action, after a short time, the new five ghosts were either killed or injured, and they could not afford to be on the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining people immediately shouted and fled together. After hurriedly changing horses, Wang Zhixiao stayed overnight along the way, and arrived at the ground of Datong Mansion in a few days. It was still early to calculate the time, and Wang Zhi deliberately transferred to his hometown in Chongzhou on the way. But when I asked, I realized that I had been separated for decades, not only my parents and eldest brother had passed away for many years, but also the Yuchan girl who had a marriage contract in her early years had already married someone else's wife!

"It's all the result of this literati's behavior! Could it be that I am destined to be a man of the rivers and lakes?" Wang Zhi thought secretly. Therefore, as soon as he entered Datong Mansion, Wang Zhi immediately visited the first major gang here, the 'Golden Knife Gate'. Qi Puyuan, the master of this Golden Dao Gate, is a cute round-faced fat man in his fifties. After hearing that Wang Zhi was a disciple of the chief helmsman of the Beggar Gang, the enthusiastic Qi Puyuan arranged a guest room and set up a banquet in court to entertain Wang Zhi. During the banquet, seeing that Qi Puyuan, who was very enthusiastic, called himself the number one disciple in the rivers and lakes, Wang Zhi, who felt his hospitality, had to pay tribute to the head of the first sect in the northwest again and again.

Unexpectedly, Qi Puyuan, who thought he would be extremely useful, said something immediately after he didn't dare to do so.

It turns out that the current situation of martial arts in the northwest is far from the situation when the four elders of the beggar gang walked the rivers and lakes in the past! Not to mention the Yipintang of Xixia, which is all first-class and has a power all over the mountains and Shaanxi, is not only a closer snow-capped sect but also a master like a cloud, with thousands of disciples, this is not counting the Huashan faction that is famous in the martial arts; if we add the Hengshan faction, which has only emerged in Datong Mansion in the past 30 years, among the more than 1,000 sects in the northwest, the Golden Dao Sect not only dominates the northwest rivers and lakes in name only, but has even been reduced to a third-rate sect for a time! Yes, as soon as he heard Wang Zhi call himself the No. 1 sect in the northwest, Qi Puyuan didn't even dare to be ashamed.

When asked about the reason for the rise of the martial arts sect in recent years, "This has to start with the imperial court...... Qi Puyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Because in the early years when the imperial court was in trouble, a god of the rivers and lakes who was the king of Yi at that time led the martial arts people to resolve crises repeatedly; Later, when the Second Emperor of Huiqin and the Supreme Emperor established the Southern Song Dynasty in Yingtianfu, the imperial court not only indulged the martial arts figures, but also added many means of favor! For example, the beggar gang, the six major factions, and other first-class sects in the rivers and lakes: whenever there is a birthday of the head of the sect or a major celebration of the sect, the imperial court will also deliberately allocate the repair expenses of the hall entrance or send special people to send congratulatory gifts; it is precisely because of the indulgence of the imperial court that it is not to say that the sects of the rivers and lakes have reached thousands today, and there are hundreds of large and small sects on the ground of Shanxi! In this way, it is not uncommon for the Golden Dao Gate to deteriorate. ’

What kind of god is he? The influence can be so far-reaching?!' After hearing these words, Wang Zhi couldn't believe it. "It's none other than Zhao Weiming, the old gang leader who founded the Beggar Gang!" Qi Puyuan stood up and bowed solemnly. Ah, this ancestor of mine is still a prince of the imperial court! Wang Zhi was shocked, and couldn't help but be even more surprised by Zhao Weiming. Seeing that Wang Zhi stopped, Qi Puyuan immediately asked enthusiastically, "I just don't know what Brother Wang has to do here, but is it useful to get a foolish brother?"

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and when he asked Qi Puyuan, who was very enthusiastic, to visit Chen Yuanzhi's home in the future, he told it again. Tomorrow, Brother Yu will send someone to accompany Brother Wang on a journey!' After hearing this, Qi Puyuan immediately agreed to send someone to accompany him to Chen Yuanzhi's house. With the help of the local disciples of the Golden Dao Sect, Wang Zhi found Chen Yuanzhi's house the next morning and met with his wife. Because he couldn't bear to tell Chen Yuanzhi that he had died in a foreign land, after retrieving the secret book that Chen Yuanzhi had confessed, Wang Zhidang hurriedly returned to the Golden Daomen even if he left under the pretext.

After taking the cheats to Qi Puyuan, as soon as he saw the collection seal on the paper, Qi Puyuan's face was pale, and he was even golden. Seeing this, 'What is the origin of this book?' Wang Zhiqi said. "This is Taizu's collection of books!' Qi Puyuan replied categorically and said, "According to legend, these secret books are all collected by Taizu himself when the dynasty razed the kingdoms, because of Taizu's martial arts!"

Qi Puyuan pointed to the seal on the paper, looking like he was in trouble. "No wonder this book is so precious!" Hearing this, Wang Zhi suddenly realized that at the same time, he also understood the reason why this book made Chen Yuan remember it until he died.

But just as he was thinking about it, he heard that Qi Puyuan continued: "Although Taizu's collection of books is extremely valuable, it is not uncommon because of the many scattered rivers and lakes in the early years; Although Wang Zhi was disappointed, he quickly put the book away when he thought of the covenant with himself. As he spoke, he only heard the disciple of the Golden Dao Sect who had hurriedly entered the country report 'Someone from Jiangnan is asking to see!', Qi Puyuan's face immediately changed, and he got up and hurried to the front hall. "What kind of person is here, it can make the people of the Golden Dao Sect so panicked!" Seeing the disciples of the Golden Dao Sect and Qi Pu Yuan in a hurry, Wang Zhi secretly wondered.
