Daning County is located on the east bank of the Yellow River, and there is a Xinshui River that flows into the Yellow River from east to west. The terrain of the whole county is high in the north and south, low in the middle, and gradually inclined from east to west. Surrounded by mountains in the north and south, the central hills and rivers are staggered, and there is a saying that "three rivers and ten valleys are four thousand, and the surrounding mountains are wrapped in a circle".

Daning County is mountainous and forested, with little rainfall all year round, and the climate is slightly arid. Therefore, if the local people rely on farming and selling grain for a living, they will have a very difficult life. Therefore, many local people rely on the important geographical conditions of water and land transportation in Daning County to make a living as traveling merchants, which also makes Daning County gradually form a relatively prosperous town in these commercial transactions between Kuching in Zhongzhou and Guqin in Xizhou.

Of course, there is light and darkness, and there is good and evil. If there are ordinary good people who do legitimate business, there will be people who do not do what is right. Daning County is surrounded by mountains and forests, and the complex terrain proves that the government does not have enough control over the local area. Coupled with the harsh living environment, there are many people who work as thieves during the day and at night, and those mountains, forests and valleys are full of large and small cottages, hiding tens of millions of thieves and robbers.

The successive county magistrates of Daning County have all had a headache for these bandits and thieves who have repeatedly cleared up but always grown stronger soon, and the resignation of the civil and military officials of Daning County in the past dynasties was either because of the ineffective suppression of bandits, and the disorder of law and order at the county border was swept away by the above; or because the bandits offended some powerful local bandit cottages and were killed by those bandits. It is not for nothing that people can die well above the civil and military official positions in Daning County, but there are too few and too few. So much so that there has been a saying in Pingyang Mansion in Kuching, Zhongzhou: "I would rather go to the border to the Xiongnu than to go to Daning to face the thieves." ”

The plague of bandits in the area of Daning County can be seen. And those civil and military officials who came to Daning County to take office were either stunned and not afraid of death to take office, or they were excluded from above and had no intention of coming here. After all, normal people would never come to such a place to die to try whether their lives were hard or not.

However, wherever the weakness of the official court is the place where the power of the rivers and lakes flourishes. Needless to say, Dongzhou, the largest force in the rivers and lakes, the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, can completely compete with the imperial court and establish a country on its own. The Kuching area of Central Continent has always been plagued by bandits, and the control of the imperial court is not too strong. The Jin Gang, the largest sect gang in Central Continent, is located in Taiyuan Province, the center of Kuching, and as for the hardest-hit areas such as Daning County, it is a place where gangs of Jianghu sects are numerous.

When Wang Yuelong and the others came, although it was not an important day in the whole festival year, for the people in the rivers and lakes who lived in the boundary of Daning County, the day of July 25 would be a grand event.

In the days from this day to the first day of August, the people in the rivers and lakes of Daning County will hold a grand meeting of the rivers and lakes. At that time, all the rivers and lakes in Daning County will participate in it, and through various competitions, the pattern of rivers and lakes in Daning County will be shuffled.

The Jianghu forces in the area of Daning County, including several neighboring counties and towns, and even Yan'an Prefecture across the Yellow River from the ancient Qin land of Xizhou, will also come to Daning County to attend the meeting. In the name of friendly exchanges, it is actually an opportunity to spy on Daning County, so as to make future plans for his own sect and gang.

Gongsun Yu is a rude and willful and playful character, I heard that there is such a lively thing, naturally I am very concerned, and after finding an inn to live in, I shouted to go and see. In comparison, Wang Yuelong, who has already participated in the level of martial arts competitions at the level of the World Heroes Association, and Ying Tianxiang, the Eagle Emperor, who has traveled in the rivers and lakes for many years, are naturally not very interested in this kind of low-level martial arts competition held in a small county.

Wang Yuelong naturally ignored Gongsun Yu, followed Ying Tianxiang to say hello, and went back to the room to rest on his own. And the Eagle Emperor Ying Tianxiang reluctantly agreed to accompany Gongsun Yu under the threat of Gongsun Yu's coquettishness, and all kinds of means were used, so he reluctantly agreed to accompany Gongsun Yu.

However, it is not appropriate for Ying Tianxiang not to go. After all, Gongsun Yu's strength is really too bad, not to mention martial arts, and the quality of true qi is even worse. Not to mention that she is Ying Tianxiang's apprentice, just because Gongsun Yu is the daughter of Ying Tianxiang's old friend Gongsun Shengpo, it is enough for Ying Tianxiang to work hard to protect her. After all, if something happened to Gongsun Yu, Ying Tianxiang really couldn't explain to Gongsun Shengpo.

After greeting Wang Yuelong, who was back to the house to rest, Ying Tianxiang left the inn with the troublesome Jinggong Sun Yu. Wang Yuelong, who was hiding in the house, breathed a sigh of relief, and then lay down on the bed and pinched his faintly painful eyebrows.

"Oh, yes, it can make Young Master Wang have such a headache, it seems that the little girl of the Gongsun family is really very good. A crisp and pleasant voice as light as a yellow bird and as sweet as an apple suddenly sounded in this room, and then a slender figure also appeared, and stood in front of Wang Yuelong's bed.

Wang Yuelong, who was pinching his eyebrows, raised his eyebrows, looked at the peerless beauty standing in front of him calmly, and then said lightly: "I said Sister Fang, don't break into other people's rooms at will without other people's permission?" Even if your aunt and grandmother are strong in martial arts, but this is not good after all, if you see something that you shouldn't see at that time, won't it stain your eyes?"

The person who came was none other than the one who single-handedly created the Red Pink Gang, who should have been Wang Yuelong's enemy of life and death, but at this moment, it was like Liu Feifang and Goddess Liu, who had no grudge against Wang Yuelong at all, just like a sister and brother. And after she listened to Wang Yuelong's complaints, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and a pair of beautiful eyes were bent into two crescent arcs, revealing a smile that was not worth her life, and no matter what the defense of men and women, she sat on the bed where Wang Yuelong was lying, stretched out her Qianqian jade fingers, and gently pinched Wang Yuelong's face that looked a little fleshy because of her youth, and said with a sweet smile: "Oh, my sister really didn't hurt you in vain, she really knows how to be considerate of people." ”

Wang Yuelong lay on the bed and didn't move, just rolled his eyes, gently patted Liu Feifang's jade hand away with his hand, and said slowly: "Who understands you, don't be sentimental, I don't know you well." After that, he gently slapped away Liu Feifang's jade hand pinching his nose.

"Oh yes, what a little unrighteous little guy. Liu Feifang said with a grudge, but there was still a smile in her beautiful eyes, and her slender jade hand was still pinching Wang Yuelong's face and nose, no matter how many times Wang Yuelong slapped it off, but her naughty jade hand still came up again.
