Liu Zhiji chose an official road with the least number of passers-by at the fork in the road, A-Ning looked at Liu Zhiji with interest, she had already followed Liu Zhiji and the two all the way, but she hadn't figured out what these two wanted to do.

Liu Zhiji glanced at A-Ning, suddenly remembered the scene that happened before, and quickly took his eyes back, Liu Zhiji was very puzzled about the relationship between these two people, and what was going on with this A-Ning had to follow him, he wanted to ask a few times, but he swallowed back as soon as the words came out, and there was no answer to some things asked, which would only increase their troubles, so it was better to wait for one day when they couldn't help but say it themselves.

The width of the official road gradually became smaller, but what surprised Liu Zhiji was that along the way, the roadside was deserted, there was not even a single home, and the only village he passed through was dead and silent, and it looked like no one was there.

After staying up in the middle of the night, Liu Zhiji and his party finally arrived at the destination of this trip.

"Zhanshui City"

Zhanshui City is one of the cities closest to the Wusu River in Jiangnan County, in addition to Zhanshui, there are two cities of Lingtan and Shaguang, Zhanshui City is the largest and most chaotic city in the three cities, there are many gangs in the city, the forces are as many as a cow's hair, the upper half of the city of Zhanshui City is controlled by the family, the lower half of the city is occupied by various gang forces, the whole city is almost a battlefield for power, there are very few ordinary residents living in it, and there are also family members of various forces.

Liu Zhiji was surprised for a long time after learning the news from the shopkeeper, can the Jiangnan County Shou tolerate the existence of such a city?

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a reason to organize, more forces mean more disputes, disputes, what do you need to fight? It must be materials and money, if you guess correctly, Liu Zhiji must have the handiwork of some big people in Jiangnan County here, this matter is not a secret in Zhanshui City, the city lord of Zhanshui City is the younger brother of Jiangnan County's defender, a martial artist of the congenital Great Perfection, known as the iron-blooded Yama.

In Zhanshui City, you can provoke anyone, but you can't mess with the bloody city guards, as long as the city guards are hurt, no matter who it is, he will personally deal with him, so although Zhanshui City is chaotic, there are still rules on the surface, and everyone can get along harmoniously and do business with each other if there is nothing special.

After Liu Zheji and his party entered Zhanshui City, he didn't feel as exaggerated as he imagined, and when he entered the city in the middle of the night, he thought that the city gate would not open, but what surprised him was that the city gate was guarded by more than a dozen warriors, they were not city guards, and they looked at the signs on their clothes more like people in the gang.

After paying the entrance fee, Liu Zhiji asked casually, and the other party also politely explained that the city gate was not open at night, because the city guards were few and had to rest at night, and a few small gangs hit the idea of the city gate, and they collectively asked someone to find Fang Xueqing and told them their thoughts, the gang is responsible for guarding the city gate at night, and the passers-by who come in at night will charge three times the city entrance fee during the day, and this city entry fee will be divided equally between the city guards and the gangs, so that the gangs and city guards can receive an additional income every month.

Liu Zhiji couldn't help but admire this genius who came up with ideas, if the other party used this kind of cleverness elsewhere, he would definitely not be just a gang member.

Since the inns in Zhanshui City were closed at night, Liu Zhiji and the three of them had to stay in the carriage for the night.

Early the next morning, the three of them first found an inn to stay in, while Liu Zhiji was alone in the city to inquire for news.

"You're asking the Black Sharks?"

In Zhanshui Chengfang City, Liu Zhiji was wandering around, while deliberately inquiring about Lao Zhu's news, and even asked a few passers-by, they all shook their heads to avoid Liu Zhiji's inquiry, until Liu Zhiji found a young man who looked like a gang member and asked.

This news is not good news for Liu Zheji, it turned out that after Lao Zhu returned to Zhanshui City, he told the elders of the gang the news of the exercise manuscript obtained from Hengduan Mountain, and somehow leaked the news, the first gang of "water souls" in Zhanshui City came to Lao Zhu every once in a while to discuss the exchange of exercises, of course Lao Zhu knew that these exercises were extremely precious, and once they leaked out, what was waiting for them was the disaster of killing.

He was also ruthless enough, he simply gathered the core personnel of the Black Shark Gang together, and fled outside the city with a group of the most trusted people, because Lao Zhu's movements were fast enough, and when the Water Soul Gang gathered people to prepare for a hard robbery, he found that the Black Shark Gang had already gone to the empty building, leaving only some small minions to support the scene outside, in a fit of anger, the leader of the Water Soul Gang turned over Jianglong and slaughtered the remaining Black Shark Gang, and issued a fake wanted notice to the outside world, saying that the Black Shark Gang leader Zhu Er stole an important exercise cheats of the Water Soul Gang, and those who can find and provide clues to Zhu Er will be rewarded by the Water Soul Gang, and there are many rewards, from small to large, the most generous is a water avoidance bead。

The water bead is a unique natural material and earth treasure in the Wusu River, the output is not much, the production area has been controlled by several large forces, the water water bead is a functional natural material and earth treasure, the warrior can move freely in the water for a long time under the infusion of true qi, everyone is mixed by the Wusu River, the long-dreamed is the magical treasure of the water bead, the water soul gang has made a heavy bet, which also makes the remnants of the Black Shark Gang sad.

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Liu Zhiji looked thoughtfully in the direction of the young man's departure.

I have to say that Lao Zhu is also helpless to do this, although the gang is gone, but at least he saved his life, if he really handed over those exercises, or was robbed, not only him, but even the Water Soul Gang might not be able to escape annihilation, after all, it was a heaven-level exercise, something that the Realm Ancestor would also pay attention to.

Liu Zheji, who was full of worries, returned to the inn, Lao Zhu's line was broken, it seems that it can only be like Gu Meng'er prepared before, just find a beach to try first.

Gu Meng'er saw that Liu Zheji's face was not very good, and she also guessed that his trip this time might not be smooth, so she didn't say much, and only told Liu Zheji to leave for the Wusu River tomorrow.

Liu Zhiji nodded, and could only agree.

The next day, Liu Zhiji and Gu Meng'er set off, A-Ning was very surprised that she didn't choose to follow, she said that she wanted to take care of the house, and asked Xiaoxue and briquettes to stay with her, Liu Zhiji wished that this person would not follow, and accepted it for her without waiting for Gu Meng'er's consent.

Liu Zheji and Gu Meng'er went out of the city side by side, and her interest was not high all the way, and she seemed to be a little concerned about Liu Zheji's promise to A-Ning for her.

"What's wrong, auntie?" asked Liu Zhiji.

"It's fine. Gu Meng'er glanced up at Liu Zheji, and sighed in her heart.
