Su Chen and Anu left the grove ten miles away, at the foot of the Dome Mountain, and walked on the edge of Taihu Lake. At the edge of Taihu Lake, there was no need to worry about being suspicious anymore, so the two horses gradually eased up.

Su Chen felt a little unlucky today.

I came to this Qionglong Mountain to relax and breathe, but I didn't expect to bump into Qinghe Dao Chang and Ding Shisan hooking up with some secret things, which ruined my interest.

However, killing Qinghe Dao Chief this time can be regarded as an old thing for him.

There is no need to worry about the ironclad evidence of the bandits of the Qinghe River Chief.

"Qionglong Mountain is a bit dangerous, so we walked around the Taihu Lake, where the water and grass are abundant, the scenery is good, and there are few people, which is suitable for idle play. When it gets late and you are tired of shopping, you will hunt a few water ducks and go to Xukou Town to find a clown and have a campfire picnic!"

Su Chen thought that it was too early to go to Xukou Town, so he said to Anu.

"It's good!"

Miss Anu nodded lightly.

In fact, Qionglong Mountain is not far from Taihu Lake, and the foot of the mountain to the west is adjacent to Taihu Lake.

At the foot of the southern side of the mountain is a small town, Xukou Town, a prosperous town close to Taihu Lake, inhabited by many fishermen who make a living from fishing.

The two rode horses and walked by the Taihu Lake.

On the shore of the rippling Taihu Lake in the distance, the reeds stretch for dozens of miles, and occasionally one or two water ducks flapping their bright wings and flying up from the dense reeds.

Walking further, the surroundings are quiet and quiet.

The two rode horses along the lakeside path.

Anu walked behind, her beautiful eyes flashing with hesitation from time to time, thinking about whether to mention to Su Chen about the Gusu City Oiran Conference that she wanted to talk about before.

Because when she was in the grove before, she was only halfway through her words, but she was disturbed by the Qinghe Dao Chang and Ding Shisan, and she didn't have time to elaborate.

She was about to speak.

Su Chen suddenly showed a look of alertness, grabbed the reins with one hand, let the horse stop, and raised his hand slightly towards Anu to stop the horse moving forward.

Wrong!

The reeds in this area are dense with aquatic plants and abundant small fish and shrimp, and it is the favorite feeding place of water ducks, how can it be so quiet?

Except for the sound of the wind and frogs, it was as if the heavens and the earth were dead, and not a single water duck was seen swimming on the lakeside.

Su Chen suddenly keenly felt that hundreds of zhang away in front of him, in the depths of a dense reed thicket, there was a strong aura of intimidation and killing.

Su Chen's expression changed suddenly.

This pressure is not the fierce pressure of the Jianghu Grandmaster Master.

Instead, it rolled like a cloud, churning like a tide, condensed into a mass with a great range of murderous aura, enveloping the reeds in a radius of several miles ahead.

What horror is there, hiding in the reeds?

Su Chen's face was terrified, and he made a silent gesture, letting Anu stop in place, and he rode the green-maned horse alone, slowly moving a little closer to the direction of the reeds.

He let go of his senses and probed into the depths of the reeds dozens of feet deep.

Under this probe, he was so shocked that he gasped and almost wanted to slap the horse and leave.

He could vaguely perceive that groups of elite armorers wearing bright armor and holding swords, bows and guns were sitting cross-legged in the depths of the reeds, either fierce and mighty, or fierce and cold, cold and solemn, waiting for the enemy.

In the depths of this reed, several miles in circumference, there was silence.

At least there were no less than thousands of armor soldiers, silent, like lurking tigers, leopards and beasts, exuding a murderous aura that could not be seen in the field of vision. No water duck bird dares to approach this reed thicket.

"Elite armor, court officers and soldiers?!"

An astonishing thought flashed through Su Chen's mind.

Thousands of armor soldiers lurked silently in the reeds by the Taihu Lake, and no one else could do it except for the elite imperial court armor soldiers.

Even the elite second-rate disciples of the four major gangs in Wu County, although they are strong in personal force, they have always been loose and cannot be so silent and disciplined.

Not to mention that those scattered officials and city officials in Gusu County can do it, their hanging and stubborn appearance is not much stronger than the discipline of bandits, and at most they can oppress the common people.

This kind of elite armor of the imperial court, even if it is only a thousand, equipped with armor and swords, shields and strong bows, is enough to completely wipe out an unprepared medium gang overnight.

These 3,000 elite soldiers are enough to be compared with the strength of the four major gangs of Wu County.

However, Su Chen had only heard that there was a hunting and Jianghu conference in Qionglong Mountain before, and he did not hear any news, saying that a large number of elite officers and soldiers would participate in this Jianghu conference.

"The former Taishou of Wu County was defeated when he encircled and suppressed the Giant Whale Gang, and lost a large number of officers and soldiers in Wu County, and the troops in Wu County were already empty. ”

"These 3,000 elite soldiers suddenly appeared here, I am afraid that they were secretly transferred from other counties, and they must have come to carry out secret missions. ”

"Dozens of factions of all sizes in the rivers and lakes are hunting in the Qionglong Mountain. And at the foot of this Dome Mountain, there are thousands of officers and soldiers lurking, what do they want to do? Could it be that tonight, a big battle is about to break out?!"

Su Chen flashed a thought, and the whole person was shocked.

He always felt that this Wujun Jianghu Conference was a little strange earlier, but he didn't know what the problem was.

Because Wu County has not had any Jianghu conferences in the past hundred years, the entire Jianghu gang has been scattered, fighting endlessly, and has never joined forces.

But this time, for no reason, Hanshan Zhenren and Gusu County Wang County joined forces to call for the holding of this first Jianghu Conference.

And the location of this Jianghu conference was placed in Xukou Town at the foot of Qionglong Mountain.

This means that with the help of this Qionglong Mountain hunting and Jianghu Conference, without arousing suspicion, tens of thousands of elite disciples of dozens of large and small gangs in the entire Wujun Jianghu have all been dispatched and gathered in the area of Xukou Town by Taihu Lake.

At the same time, thousands of imperial officers and soldiers were mobilized here, silently, ambushed by the Taihu Lake.

This is clearly Chen Cang in the dark of the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, preparing to fight a big battle!

"Who do these 3,000 elite soldiers want to deal with when they are ambushed here? These officers and soldiers want to take action against the major gangs participating in the Wujun Jianghu Conference?"

Su Chen's mind was racing and thinking quickly.

But on closer analysis, this is not true.

Although there are a lot of about 3,000 armor soldiers in ambush here, if you want to destroy the tens of thousands of Jianghu disciples in Xukou Town, you will definitely not be able to do it.

In the mountains and forests around Taihu Lake, the terrain is complex, which is not conducive to large-scale battles, and the three thousand elite soldiers of the armor do not occupy the advantage, but are suitable for the fight of the disciples of the rivers and lakes.

Moreover, the officers and soldiers did not have enough reason to attack the big and small Jianghu gangs in Wu County.

For example, the situation is turbulent today, and the displaced people are everywhere, and the imperial court is gradually weakening its local governance. The local government even urgently needs the power of gangs to maintain local law and order.

Even the Tianying Gate, one of the four major gangs in Wu County, is the minions supported by the imperial court and the government, assisting the government in Wu County to balance the forces of all parties in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, the imperial court and the major gangs in the rivers and lakes of Wu County have always taken the initiative to make friends, and in the last few decades, they have been at peace with each other, and there is no reason to go to war with each other.

So who are you going to fight with such a deployment of troops?

The only target is about to come out!

The "Giant Whale Gang", the first big gang of water bandits in Wu County, entrenched in Taihu Lake, has always been disobedient to the control of the government, and even has the audacity to rob official food. Gangs on the underworld and white lanes are also in conflict.

Whether it is the government or the Baidao gang on the rivers and lakes, there are enough reasons to start a war against the Giant Whale Gang, and take the opportunity of this Jianghu Conference to exterminate the Giant Whale Gang!

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but be shocked. Reined in the blue-maned horses and horses, and slowly retreated, so as not to alarm the armor soldiers in the reeds dozens of feet away.

The Giant Whale Gang has been entrenched in Taihu Lake for a long time, gathering tens of thousands of water bandits, who are the best at water warfare and have extremely strong strength.

As soon as this battle starts, it must be a bloody battle, and I am afraid that within a radius of hundreds of miles of Taihu Lake, there will be rivers of blood.

Anu also obviously noticed that Su Chen's face was wrong.

There was a look of horror on his face. Even before, when he met Qinghe Dao Chief, a first-class senior master, he had never been so shocked.

"Young Master Su, what's wrong?"

Anu lowered her voice and asked in surprise.

"There are thousands of elite soldiers lurking in the reeds. Go, don't stay here!"

Su Chen said in a low voice, turned the horse's head and left.

Anu's face suddenly turned pale, and he was frightened, and he rode a horse to follow closely.

They were afraid that the sound of horses' hooves would be too urgent, which would alarm those elite armorers, so they didn't dare to hurry, but walked away.

She was stunned, and on the front foot she encountered the Qinghe Dao chief and water bandits in the small forest of Qionglong Mountain, and on the back foot she encountered thousands of officers and soldiers lurking by the Taihu Lake. What the hell is going on?

"Brother Su Chen, are these officers and soldiers preparing to encircle and suppress the gang disciples of Qionglong Mountain?"

She asked worriedly.

Su Chen shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No, the government and the Baidao gang in Wu County have always been friendly, and the Heavenly Eagle Gate is the minions supported by the imperial court, and there are a large number of Heavenly Eagle Gate disciples on the mountain, and the officers and soldiers will not make a big move."

Three thousand armor soldiers lurked by the Taihu Lake, and nearly 10,000 disciples of various gangs gathered in Xukou Town tonight. The town of Xukou is also close to Taihu Lake. The government and the major gangs in the rivers and lakes should join forces to deal with the giant whale gang entrenched in Taihu Lake!

A few days ago, Ah Chou said that the Giant Whale Gang robbed a batch of official grain transported from the south to the north, which was clearly a rebellion. I am afraid that this incident has angered the imperial court, and they are ready to join forces with the major gangs in Wu County to exterminate this water bandit disaster that has plagued Wu County for decades. ”

Su Chen thought of some things that had happened recently and guessed.

"Isn't that going to be a big fight?"

Anu's face turned pale.

"Yes! These officers and men are lying in ambush in the reeds, and it is impossible for them to stay here for long. As early as tonight, or at the latest in the early hours of tomorrow, there will be an all-out war with the Whale Gang.

This place is already very unsafe, so I will escort you back to Gusu County first! Gusu County is far away from this Taihu Lake, and there are officials guarding the city, which is safer. When you go back to Gusu County, you must not go out of the city again until the war subsides!"

Su Chen said in a deep voice.

The two of them were far away from the edge of Taihu Lake, so they galloped on the official road and rushed to Gusu County.

"Ugly is still on the mountain, hurry up and call him back!"

Anu nodded and said hurriedly.

"It's okay, I'll go back to him later!"

Su Chen gave Anu a ride, and ran more than 20 miles to a main official road, seeing that Gusu County was a few miles away, and it was already very safe.

He asked Anu to return to the city on his own, and then turned around and galloped to the Dome Mountain. Ah Chou followed Han Shu and the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, and was hunting in the Qionglong Mountain at the moment, but he didn't know where the people were.

The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and a thick dark cloud has formed a overwhelming trend around Taihu Lake.

Su Chen couldn't predict that in this big storm of rivers and lakes that was about to break out with dark clouds, who would win and who would be defeated.

But Ugly is his only good brother, and nothing can happen!
