Not far away, there were several fishing boats leaning against the shore, and more than a dozen women on the shore were mending their nets. Shangguan Yun knew that he came abruptly and it was difficult to win the trust of others, so he had to say: "You always know Zhong Xiang and Yang Qi, I have a good relationship with them, so naturally I will not harm you." ”

When the women stopped what they were doing, one of them took out a fist-sized snail and blew it a few times, and soon heard the same sound of the snail in the distance on the lake.

Then the woman said, "Come with me." With that, he got up and got on a fishing boat, Shangguan Yun thanked him and hurriedly followed.

Don't look at this woman is ordinary, but her strength is not half a point worse than that of a strong man, but I saw her holding her oar on the edge of the lake, and the fishing boat that had been on the beach retreated into the lake. This time it took more than two or three hundred catties of strength, but her face was not red and her heart was not beating, it was as easy as an ordinary woman washing clothes and fetching water, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but be secretly shocked in her heart.

The woman was also very handy in the boat, and in a short time she reached the middle of the lake, and met a large black boat, and in the bow stood a strong black man. Now that New Year's Day has just passed, but it is still a harsh winter, he is shirtless and shirtless, and he doesn't know that the weather is cold.

When the two boats were still a few feet apart, the black strong man smiled and said, "This brother, please come here, you and I are so careful to talk." ”

Shangguan Yun was reluctant to show his kung fu, and waited until the two boats approached, and then jumped lightly.

The woman did not speak, but turned the bow of the boat and went back to the shore.

The black strong man arched his hand and said: "I don't know why my brother came, how do you get acquainted with the two leaders of Zhong Xiang and Yang Qi?"

Shangguan Yun didn't want to lose his courtesy, and said: "In Xia Shangguan Yun, I don't know the name of Brother Taigao. ”

The black strong man was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "You are Shangguan Yun?"

Shangguan Yunxin said: "I am the devil hated by everyone in the rivers and lakes, and if you want to embarrass me, it is also your duty." He said solemnly: "It's here, I don't know what advice Brother Tai has?"

The black strong man was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "In front of the Shangguan Sect Master, how dare you mention the word advice, I have already heard of your name, I only hate not to have the opportunity to see it, and today I have to meet the Shangguan Sect Master, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”

Shangguan Yunqi said: "Brother Tai, what do you say?"

The black strong man smiled: "I, Xia Cheng, am a rough person, Shangguan Sect Master must not laugh." When Yang Lao returned to the village a month ago, he was full of praise for General Yue Fei and Shangguan Sect Master, praising both of them as heroes of the world who knew the righteousness. General Yue Fei is a general in the army, which is rare to see, but the Shangguan Sect Master is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and Xia Cheng has long wanted to make friends. ”

Shangguan Yun was a little embarrassed to be exaggerated, he waved his hand and said: "Brother Yue is indeed a rare hero in the world, if you say that I am strong in martial arts, it would be an exaggeration, Brother Xia should not believe Brother Yang's words." ”

Xia Cheng laughed and said: "Although Yang Laoqi is impatient, he never tells lies, the Shangguan Sect Master is young, but he is already the head of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and it is naturally difficult to find opponents in martial arts, so why be too humble." ”

Shangguan Yun was afraid that he would miss the matter, so he turned to say, "Brother Xia, where is the master of your sect Baizhai now?"

Xia Cheng saw that his expression was serious, and he knew that there must be something important, so he said: "The owner of the village may be in Dingzhou, what is the important matter of the Shangguan sect master, and I need to discuss with the owner of my village?"

Shangguan Yun didn't want to hide it from him, so he said: "Jin Wancheng, the head of the Jincheng faction, is angry that Dongting Water Village does not obey his orders, and is leading the Central Plains heroes to come, but he is afraid that he will be embarrassed by the lord of Baizhai. ”

Xia Cheng was furious when he heard this, and said: "More than ten days ago, Tao Tianche of the Jincheng faction has already come, he relied on the strength of the Jincheng faction, and he didn't put my Dongting Water Village in his eyes at all, and even pointed fingers in front of the owner of the village, if it wasn't for the owner of the village to stop him, I would not let him escape." Now that they are going to make a living, although my water village is full of fishermen, I am not afraid of them. Shangguan Sect Master, let's go to find the master of the village. After saying that, he personally supported the boat, although the big boat was nearly ten zhang long, but it walked on the water like flying, and after more than an hour, the two arrived at the west shore of Dongting Lake.

The two came ashore, Xia Cheng took two fast horses nearby, galloped all the way, and entered Dingzhou City when it was getting dark. After inquiring at the city gate, Bai Cong'e was really listening to the music with Zhizhou in the city, and the two hurried over again. With Xia Cheng with him, it was effortless, and soon the two came to Dingzhou Mansion.

Shangguan Yun was anxious, and after being polite, he said: "Lord Baizhai, Jin Wancheng is annoyed that you didn't follow his orders to send troops to resist Jin, and now he is leading the Central Plains heroes to come, I am afraid that I will not be able to get along with Dongting Water Village, they will come tomorrow, and I also ask the Lord of Baizhai to take precautions as soon as possible." ”

Bai Cong'e couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw that the handsome young man's martial arts a few years ago were so strong that he had become the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He had heard a lot of Shangguan Yun's deeds from Zhong Xiang Yang Mi, and he also had a little good impression of him. Bai Cong'e listened to what Shangguan Yun said, he was still calm, and he groaned for a while, he said indifferently: "There is a letter from the head of the Shangguan Sect to report the news, then Tao Tianche must have a grudge, and he is talking nonsense with oil and vinegar, and when the head of Jin arrives, Bai will make it clear with him, so as not to misunderstand the two factions and cause trouble." ”

Dingzhou Zhizhou has been mixed in the officialdom for a long time, and he knows the unpredictability of people's hearts, he said: "Lord Baizhai, since Shuizhai sent troops to destroy Liao a few years ago according to the emperor's order, you and I have become friends who are irreversible. ”

Bai Cong'e's expression changed slightly, and he hugged his fists and said: "My lord, please speak, Bai Mou listens." ”

The governor of Dingzhou stroked his nose and beard, and said: "This official is not a person in the rivers and lakes, he has only been in the officialdom for many years, and this official has always introspected, but he still can't guess the word "people's heart." According to this official, the head of the Jin family must know that his disciple is a person, but he listens to it and believes it, and he is afraid that there will be a lot of articles in it. You still follow the words of the Shangguan Sect Master and take precautions so as not to miss the opportunity. ”

Bai Cong lowered his head, he shook his head slightly, not believing what Dingzhou Zhizhou said.

Shangguan Yun couldn't bear to see him suffer, and said angrily: "Lord Baizhai, I can't hide it, my Heavenly Demon Sect has been severely injured by Jin Wancheng and others a few days ago, and there have been heavy casualties in the sect, and the main altar has been burned clean by them. Now Jin Wancheng's martial arts are unmatched, his plan is very big, he wants to dominate the rivers and lakes, is to destroy my Heavenly Demon Sect first, and then he will include Dongting Water Village and Baihua Valley into his bag, if someone obstructs his plan, he will definitely be ruthless. I came here this time because I didn't want his treacherous plan to succeed, and secondly, I didn't want to see the rivers and lakes continue to dispute, so that both sides would lose. ”
