Although there was a faint fog in the Yangtze River that day, it did not affect the passage of ships in the slightest.

Although it is not as stormy as the Battle of Chibi back then, the vast river surface and the magnificent cloudy sky also have a majestic momentum!
On this day, it has been twenty-one days since the late gang leader Zheng Tailun of the Blue Dragon Gang was killed. Early in the morning, You Haitao, the new leader of the Qinglong Gang, took more than a dozen capable leaders to greet him at the riverside wharf.
Because, they agreed with the Giant Shark Gang on the other side that today Pan Yuanqiang, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang, will cross the river to sweep the dead of the late gang leader Zheng Tailun; moreover, You Haitao also wants to take this opportunity to talk to him about several cooperation plans that will be mutually beneficial and win-win in the next step.
The Qinglong Gang and the Giant Shark Gang are two major gangs that are on equal footing today, one is the number one hegemon in the south of the Yangtze River and the other is the number one hegemon in the north of the Yangtze River; 30 years ago, conflicts often broke out between the two gangs over trade and fishing, provoking conflicts. Even, there have been vicious bloodshed incidents such as group fighting, and they once became enemies that were incompatible with fire and water.
However, since Zheng Tailun took charge of the Qinglong Gang, he took the initiative to give up his previous suspicions, found Pan Yuanqiang, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang, shook hands and made peace, creating a new situation of harmonious coexistence between the two gangs in history.
Not only that, the two gang leaders have a deep friendship, and they have become Kunzhong, vowing to be friendly for generations and not to invade each other. Since then, the two factions have been courteous to each other, affectionate and righteous, and have been at peace with each other, and the people on both sides of the strait have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and have been peaceful and peaceful.
However, the murder of Zheng Tailun, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, on 9 March caused a sensation in the rivers and lakes and shocked the whole country, causing Pan Yuanqiang, the leader of the Jiangbei Giant Shark Gang, to hear the bad news. On the same day, he sent messengers across the river to mourn, and agreed with them that twenty-one days later, he would personally cross the river to sweep the dead of his righteous brother Zheng Tailun.
However, before the departure of this day, there was a lot of discussion among the brothers in the gang, and many of them unanimously discouraged him from canceling the trip, and these brothers all said:
"The murder of Zheng Tailun's old gang leader is strange and strange in itself, and now the new gang leader in the Qinglong Gang has no heart, and everyone has different intentions;
Pan Yuanqiang's helper, who has always been bold and careful, thinks that he will not lose, and smiled with the brothers and said:
"I have also thought about these situations, my brother-in-law was killed, the cause of death is unknown, and I also want to take this opportunity to cross the river to find out the ins and outs of the matter! What's more, even if they are prepared, I am not afraid. As he spoke, he confidently raised his big porcelain bowl-like fists and said, "With the fists of my Pan, even if they want to commit treachery, what are they afraid of! ā
Everyone only knows that his iron fist is invincible in the world, but no one can guess what he means when he says "I have already taken precautions". His fists were domineering, and he was one of the masters of one of the "three gangs and five factions" in the martial arts at that time.
And now, among the "Three Gangs", Zheng Tailun of the Qinglong Gang and Gu Tianlong of the Iron Palm Gang have been killed, and he is the only one left in the martial arts, proud of the world!
Therefore, he was also very cautious and cautious, coupled with the strong dissuasion of the brothers in the gang, in order to prevent negligence, he finally temporarily decided to let the two best hall masters in the gang accompany him across the river this time.
These two hall masters are not only strong in martial arts, but also loyal to him. One is Deng Zhong, the hall master of the Jiangyou region, who is called Deng Zhong, the ghost of life, on the rivers and lakes, his parting hook is very powerful, weird and unpredictable, and many people have been killed by the hook.
The other is called Lin Shuangxiong, who is the hall master of the Zigui area, his weapon is a pair of pig iron bones, the number of roads is very fierce, and his people are also a character who does not want to die;
Now, with their leader, they took forty skilled, and sailed toward the south bank with forty skilled, and sailed toward the south bank.
When the ship approached the shore, there was an attendant who was familiar with the situation, and pointed to the fat-faced man in a blue silk robe standing at the head of the shore and said:
"Gang leader, on the shore, the chubby man standing at the front is You Haitao, the new gang leader of the Blue Dragon Gang. ā
Pan Yuanqiang looked at it with a sneer, and suddenly said with a sneer:
"Who should I be!
"Do you know him, Helper?"
"Why don't you know!" Pan Yuanqiang said, "Isn't he my brother-in-law, an entourage of the late gang leader Zheng Tailun? ā
"It is said that his Five Elements Fist is very powerful," the man added, "and the 'South China Tiger' that is rumored in the rivers and lakes is talking about him." ā
"Oh! I see," Pan Yuanqiang said, "it seems that he is also a little famous! This time, I want to see how he is in charge of the big things in the gang!"
As he spoke, the sailor quickly laid out the plywood, and walked ahead of a middle-aged man in a crimson silk robe; his burly figure, his face like a heavy jujube, and his raised eyebrows made people feel that he was born with a domineering spirit; and his bright eyes showed that he was a man with superb internal strength and was very restrained.
Seeing him majestically stepping off the gangplank and stepping on the riverbank, You Haitao, the new leader of the Qinglong Gang, immediately smiled and greeted him, and at the same time saluted him, and said enthusiastically:
"Gang Master Pan, the hero is the world, and the demeanor is still the same!"
"The leader of the You gang is young and promising, which really makes the old man admire!" Pan Yuanqiang returned the salute with a fist and said with a slight smile.
You Haitao said, stretching out his hand to signal him, and walked towards the first car of the luxury carriage parked in front of him.
Pan Yuanqiang did not give in, and walked over according to his instructions! Approaching the carriage, You Haitao had already opened the car door for him, and again gestured enthusiastically and said:
"Gang Master Pan, please board the car!"
"Thank you!" Pan Yuanqiang also said to him politely, then boarded the carriage and sat in.
At the same time, the two hall masters who accompanied them were also invited by their two hall masters to sit in the prepared carriage, and at this time, all the members of the Qinglong Gang who came to greet them also boarded the carriage one after another.
Seeing this, You Haitao came to the car of Pan Yuanqiang, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang, again, and asked in the car with a very respectful tone:
"Gang Leader Pan, can you go?"
"May I ask Gang Leader You, where are you going at this first stop?" Pan Yuanqiang asked in the car.
"The Qinglong Gang Association," You Haitao said, "The widow of the late gang leader, Madame Rose wants to thank the old gang leader in person!"
"Okay, let's go. ā
Immediately, You Haitao and the young and strong coachman beside him instructed:
"Tell everyone to go!" he said, stepping into the second carriage after Pan Yuanqiang and closing the door.
With the shouts of the young coachman and the departure of the young coachman, all the carriages and chariots were started, and they sowed soil and dust along the embankment of the river, and moved forward.
However, because of the great number of people, no one had any idea that a man dressed like a beggar had slipped under the first carriage while they were talking, and the man dressed like a beggar never appeared again until the carriage began to move.
