Chapter 209: The Miracle of the White Horse

Unlike Wang Bodang, Wei Zheng's emotions quickly calmed down.

He stood up from the eaves and took a few steps forward, bowing to the young man in white before him and saying, "Tianshi."

Zhou Yi's eyes swept across Wang Bodang, and he felt a little surprised. He immediately said to Wei Zheng:

"What's going on in Xingyang?"

"Li Mi broke his promise," Wei Zheng said angrily. "He had no intention of giving up Xingyang safely. I underestimated his evil intentions. To achieve his goal, Li Mi has resorted to all means."

"There's not much point in him creating these chaos, is it just to delay time?"

"No," Wei Zheng shook his head, "it's to irritate you."

"oh?"

"He knows you, Tianshi, will go to Chang'an. Right now, that place is already packed with the world's top experts. If Li Mi succeeds, Xingyang will inevitably be in chaos, with the city on fire and countless casualties."

At this point, Wei Zheng gnashed his teeth in anger. "This despicable and cruel tactic of attacking the mind is only intended to disrupt the Heavenly Master's martial arts determination, so that you can't display your full strength in the possible battle in Chang'an."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but frown. Li Mi's madness was beyond his expectations.

It may be useless, but he chooses to struggle desperately.

"Where is Li Mi?" Zhou Yi looked at Wang Bodang.

Wang Bodang no longer had the demeanor of the White-robed Archer. He hung his head and breathed heavily.

He shook his head, with a self-deprecating tone: "I don't know."

It's not easy to lie in front of Zhou Yi.

What's more, he is a person who looks mentally traumatized and full of flaws.

"Li Mi is hiding this from you too?"

Zhou Yi took a step closer and said, "It's your fault for not being able to judge people and distinguish good from evil. Aiding the evildoer will not end well."

Wang Bodang had been ridiculed by Wei Zheng for a long time and had no intention of refutation at this moment.

The truth was like a sharp knife, which had already cut him all over.

Wang Bodang sighed and said bluntly:

"Please, Master, give me a quick death."

Wei Zheng watched silently with a very calm expression.

"Do you think he should die?"

Hearing Zhou Yi's question, Wei Zheng pondered and changed his tone: "He deserves to die. The emperor doesn't need any reason to kill people, not to mention that he is guilty to begin with."

Wei Zheng continued:

"However, this man is still somewhat useful. We can make full use of him. It won't be too late to kill him after some time."

He pointed to the north:

"The brave and capable troops of Weijun are on high alert, and the army of Xingyang can counter them at the fastest speed. This guilty man holds considerable prestige within the army, and he has just finished suppressing the rebellion, leaving the county unstable. Although he is blind and loyal to Li Mi, he still enjoys a good reputation in Xingyang."

"Tianshi, please consider his merits this time and let him live a few more days so that he can make some contributions to the people of Xingyang."

Wei Zheng took out another knife and said respectfully:

"I can also do these things for the Heavenly Master. If you are unhappy and don't want to attack him, I can cut off his head for you."

Zhou Yi took another look at the blood-stained Wang Bodang and said to Wei Zheng:

"Just watch him and let him do his work. When I'm in a bad mood, I'll come and kill him."

"yes!"

For some reason, Wei Zheng looked quite excited when he responded.

Zhou Yi ignored Wang Bodang and asked Wei Zheng about the situation in Wei County.

Soon, he knew the strengths and weaknesses of the Xiaoguo Army and Weijun.

After making sure that there was no need to worry about Xingyang anymore, he did not stay for a moment and headed straight for Weijun.

After Zhou Yi left, Wang Bo clasped his fists towards Wei Zheng and said, "Thank you very much."

"You don't have to thank me. I didn't intend to save you, nor was I speaking on your behalf."

Wei Zheng saw his bewildered face and couldn't help but smile:

"This proves once again that what I told you before was correct. The Heavenly Master cares about more than just a little personal vendetta. He can kill you at will, and he can also let you go at will. Aside from being blind, you don't have any other problems, so your life isn't really an eyesore."

"However, the outside world says that the new king is 'peevish', which is a good thing."

"Only when you make people fear you can you control them."

Wang Bodang had to admit that he was absolutely right.

"Brother Wei, what should I do?"

"It's simple. Offer your blind loyalty to the right person, and then focus on your work," Wei Zheng shook the knife in his hand. "And you must be extremely cautious throughout your life, because this knife on your neck will never be removed."

After he finished speaking, he sighed and said:

"You are lucky to have met a magnanimous king, otherwise you would be dead by now."

"Think carefully about what Li Mi did, and you will see how huge the difference between the two is."

Wang Bodang pondered for a moment, then clasped his fists and thanked him again.

Then he kowtowed towards the place where the white shadow disappeared.

Wei Zheng smiled and pulled him up: "You have finally polished the mirror of your heart. The sun is about to rise in the east. Let's go to the city to investigate again."

"There must be no unrest in Xingyang, otherwise we might end up in trouble together."

Wang Bodang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

"Let's go, Brother Wei"

…

Wei County, Anyang.

The seat of Wei County was originally in Yecheng. In the second year of Daxiang, Yuchi Jiong, the governor of Xiangzhou, was dissatisfied with Yang Jian and sent troops to attack him. After being defeated, he committed suicide. Yang Jian then ordered the burning of Yecheng.

Therefore, the seat of government was moved to Anyang.

This place is also where nearly 100,000 brave soldiers are stationed.

The morale of this elite army left behind by Guangshen was severely damaged after it went south to Jiangdu and north to Weijun, and it had long lost its original majestic military might.

However, occupying a small place like Anyang and guarding a palace, they were still able to build a strong barrier.

After Yu Wenzhi led his troops to occupy this place, he respected Yang Hao, the son of the King of Qin, as emperor and appointed himself as prime minister.

Not long ago, I heard that Yang Hao died.

But what surprised Zhou Yi was that Yu Wenzhi was still the prime minister in name only and did not dare to usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Thanks to the alluvial plain of Zhang River, the land here is fertile and produces a lot of crops such as millet and wheat.

When Zhou Yi was walking in Anyang City, he also saw many Yejin shops.

Inheriting the tradition of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Wei County remained an important silk producing area in the north and the main source of tribute to the court.

Yu Wenzhi did not choose the wrong place.

It is backed by the Taihang Mountains to the west and faces the plains to the east. It is the eastern gateway that protects Guanlong and Hedong.

The prosperity of the city naturally did not match what Zhou Yi remembered.

"Dong Dong Dong"

Waves of patrol troops passed through Huajin Street, and there was a team every two quarters of an hour. The patrol frequency was very high.

Because this street leads all the way to the palace.

After Yang Hao's death, the Weijun Palace was naturally occupied by Yu Wenzhi.

It seems to be heavily guarded, but people's hearts are not there. It is mostly just superficial effort. From generals to soldiers, most of them are just doing it perfunctorily.

After Zhou Yi occupied Dongdu.

The Jukun Gang headed northwards and joined forces with the Luoyang Gang to establish roots in Wei County.

But Yu Wenzhi was unaware of it.

Soon after Zhou Yi entered the city, he met with the capable men of the Ju Kun Gang and learned the news from the palace.

That night, he rushed into the palace as if he was in an empty place.

The Weijun Imperial Palace was newly built and was slightly larger than the Xunyang Palace in Jiujiang, but it was not as elegant as the Xunyang Palace and was more angular.

After looking at the topographic map of the palace, it is not difficult to find Yu Wenzhi's residence.

3:15 PM.

A white shadow passed through the heavy guards and came to the Anyang Palace near the harem.

If the intelligence is correct, Yu Wenzhi is most likely in the palace.

There are many lanterns placed in the corridors, and they are never extinguished at night. As long as there is no strong wind or heavy rain, there will be light anywhere in the palace at night.

Zhou Yi walked up a few stone steps and looked towards the hall not far away.

There was a light on inside, and a faint figure could be seen flickering.

When he approached the Anyang Palace, he deliberately revealed his footsteps, and the people inside had already noticed it.

Zhou Yi only heard a breathing sound.

And the breathing sound suddenly stopped at the moment when his footsteps were exposed.

Anyone who has this reaction is not bad at all.

"who?!"

A slightly heavy male voice sounded.

“Squeak~!”

In response to him, he heard the sound of a strong wind pushing open the doors. The two doors opened, and before he could see the people inside, he saw a white shadow flashing in like a ghost.

Wait until your body is still.

When the people in Anyang Palace saw the person coming, they recognized his identity instantly.

A flash of fear flashed across his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and took two steps forward.

"Yuwen Shiji pays homage to the Heavenly Master!"

After a shout, he fell to his knees.

Zhou Yi was slightly stunned. This was another unexpected thing. When he saw the man raised his head, he was obviously younger than Yu Wenzhi and his appearance was quite different.

Yuwen Shiji looked even thinner and less fierce than his brother.

Moreover, Yuwen Shiji had always been in the north and had never been involved in the affairs of Jiangdu.

He had a particularly close relationship with the Li clan in Guanzhong.

While Zhou Yi was thinking quickly, he sat down on a high chair carved with orchids nearby.

"Where is Yu Wenzhi?"

Yuwen Shiji married Princess Nanyang. He was Yang Guang's son-in-law.

However, past status no longer holds any sway.

He quickly responded: "My brother is not in the palace. He has gone into hiding to seek refuge."

"Avoid who?"

"A member of the Great Ming Zun Sect."

Zhou Yi exclaimed inwardly, "Did you kill Yang Hao?"

"It was the palace guards who killed him," Yuwen Shiji continued. "Yang Hao was bewitched by the people of the Great Ming Zunjiao. He had gone mad and wanted to command the Xiaoguo Army to fight against the Heavenly Master. The palace guards refused to obey his orders, so he drew his sword and killed people. Then he was killed in the chaos."

"At that time, my brother was no longer in the palace."

"The people of the Great Ming Zun Cult want to use this method to force him out. Because if they control him, they can control the Xiaoguo Army."

This is a case of reaping what one sows.

Zhou Yi was still puzzled: "Hasn't Yu Wenzhi always been cooperating with the Great Ming Zunjiao? Why did they start an internal conflict?"

Yuwen Shiji responded immediately:

"I heard from my brother that the Great Venerable wanted him to be the next generation of the Venerable Sect's Atom, so he taught him a secret technique. After practicing this secret technique, the power of my family's Ice Mysterious Energy increased greatly. However, over time, I gradually discovered the conspiracy behind it."

"There is a flaw in the spiritual secret technique, and the Great Venerable wants to use this secret technique to control him."

"After he discovered this secret, he couldn't sleep or eat. Unable to escape the Great Master, he hid in the dark and refused to meet with the Great Master."

Zhou Yi thought of the group of people in Xingyang and roughly understood Yu Wenzhi's situation.

"Did Yu Wenzhi arrange for you to be here?"

Yuwen Shiji shook his head. "I was originally in Chang'an, but I came to Weijun because of the advice of the second son of the Li family. He said that the Heavenly Master would definitely come here, and only the Heavenly Master could resolve the crisis in Weijun. My brother didn't dare to show himself, so I waited here."

"Let Yu Wenhuaji come to see me."

"Yes, Master Tian, ​​please wait."

When Yuwen Shiji saw him nod, he hurried out of the hall.

After more than half an hour, footsteps were heard outside the hall.

As the night deepened, Yuwen Shiji was walking at the back, with two others in front.

One is Yu Wenzhi, and the other is naturally Wei Zhenzhen.

"Tianshi." As the two entered the hall, they immediately bowed down.

Wei Zhenzhen looked up at the person in front of her in disbelief, and the scene in Jiangdu suddenly appeared in her mind.

If it were an ordinary person buying buns, he would forget about it the moment he turned around.

But some people can remember it for a long time after just one look.

She felt that it was not an illusion, because the Heavenly Master, whom even Yu Wenzhi was extremely afraid of, actually smiled at her.

"Sister Zhen, have Xiaozhong and Xiaoling come to look for you?"

While Zhou Yi was speaking, he had already helped her up.

When Wei Zhenzhen heard these familiar titles, she almost shed tears.

Yu Wenzhi and Yu Wenshizhi were also stunned. They never expected such a scene.

Wei Zhenzhen didn't know what to call him, and she never thought that the person who came to buy buns was of such status!

I had to respond:

"They both came to see me before, but it was not convenient for me to meet them. I was worried about hurting them, so I had to miss it."

Zhou Yi was more concerned about the two boys. Although he knew that Wei Zhenzhen was kind-hearted, he didn't have much to say to her.

He nodded slightly in response.

Then he turned to look at Yu Wenhuaji: "Tell me about your business. I have had many dealings with your Yuwen family."

After hearing this, the three of them felt a chill in their hearts.

There is no need to explain the past grudges.

Yu Wenzhi clasped his fists and said, "Tianshi, in addition to the hundred men under my personal command, I am willing to send the entire Wei County and the Xiaoguo Army to your command!"

Zhou Yi's face turned cold:

"Since you are so sensible, why did you collude with Li Mi when I was in the Eastern Capital?"

Yu Wenzhi sighed and explained, "Master, you don't know. Ever since I met Zhenzhen, I've found the struggles of the world boring, and I don't want to fight you even more."

"I mobilized the Xiaoguo Army because the Great Venerable forced me to do so. I had no choice."

"At that time, I discovered that there were flaws in the martial arts I was practicing. I knew I had fallen into a trap, so I had no choice but to play along. Otherwise, I would not be alive today."

Zhou Yi noticed the loophole in his words: "Since you are tired of fighting, why don't you leave Anyang as soon as possible?"

Meeting his cold eyes, Yu Wenzhi felt pressured. If he was lying, his mental state must be full of flaws.

"He did it because of me," Wei Zhenzhen rolled up her sleeves.

I saw a black line on her arm, starting from the Shenmen acupoint, extending from the bottom like a tree trunk to the Shaohai acupoint, and spreading out like branches. The blood lines were all black and purple, and looked hideous and ugly.

"This is the poison planted by the Great Venerable's subordinate, Poison Water Xinnaya."

Yu Wenzhi said with a hint of hatred: "They know Zhenzhen is my weak spot, so they are waiting for me to show myself. If they don't detoxify me, Zhenzhen will die sooner or later, and my life will be meaningless."

"Husband."

Wei Zhenzhen cried out in sorrow and kept shaking her head.

Looking at the two holding hands and looking at each other like star-crossed mandarin ducks, Zhou Yi felt a little uncomfortable.

Although it is hard to understand, they are indeed true love.

"Tell me what you think."

Yu Wenzhi said, "I have no other request, I just hope that the Heavenly Master can save Zhenzhen's life."

"When the time comes, I will go east to Wa with Zhenzhen and never return to China. Wa is a poor and barren country with few people. I am willing to occupy this place for the Heavenly Master and offer tribute to China every year."

Zhou Yi thought about it, then reached out and grabbed Wei Zhenzhen's wrist.

He injected true Qi into her Shaoyin Heart Meridian along her hand.

It was visible to the naked eye that the black energy on her arm dissipated like melting ice and snow. In a moment, the strange poison from the cult that made it impossible for them to deal with it disappeared from Wei Zhenzhen's body at an incredible speed.

Yu Wenzhi was terrified.

This level of skill has indeed reached a level that is unimaginable for ordinary people.

I heard that the Taoist priest once detoxified a group of people in Chengdu. Only when I saw it with my own eyes could I feel the shock.

"Thank you, Master!"

The two turned their sorrow into joy and expressed their gratitude together.

After paying his respects, Yu Wenzhi said:

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Mi should be in Chang'an. He recognized Fu Nanda as the Imperial Preceptor and has frequent dealings with the Great Ming Zunjiao. This time, they want to control me so they can transfer 100,000 Xiaoguo troops to Chang'an and cooperate with the Golden Wolf Army on the grassland to take action against you."

Zhou Yi nodded and asked again:

"What omissions did the Great Venerable leave in the technique he gave you?"

This cannot be explained in a few words, and with his insights into martial arts, he may not be able to explain it clearly.

Yu Wenhua was well prepared. He took out a secret book from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yi.

"I can't explain exactly what the consequences are."

"This was given to me by the Great Venerable. The original was destroyed by him, but this transcription is not much different from the original. After the Heavenly Master has read it, he should have the answer."

Yu Wenzhi thought for a moment and said:

"I heard from the Great Master that there was a man who also practiced this skill, but he is now dead."

"who?"

"The former leader of the Luoyang Gang, Shangguan Long."

Shangguan Long?

Zhou Yi recalled what Bai Cong'an, deputy leader of the Luoyang Gang, said to him when he was in Dongdu.

Shangguan Long looked like he had died from a demonic attack. His body was dry, his arms were just skin and bones, and his pupils were bloodshot. He didn't look like he had been murdered.

He simply flipped through the secret book and closed it again.

"Take care of the affairs of Wei County and then go east. Don't cause trouble in the future, and no one will bother you."

"yes!"

Yu Wenzhi turned to look at Wei Zhenzhen and smiled with relief.

Wei Zhenzhen couldn't help but say:

"If Xiaozhong and Xiaoling ask you, please tell them that Sister Zhen is doing well and they don't need to worry."

Zhou Yi smiled and replied, "Okay."

"Thank you very much."

She thanked him several times and walked out with Yu Wenzhi.

Yuwen Shiji also breathed a sigh of relief at this point.

The grudges between the Yuwen clan and the Heavenly Master have been mostly resolved, and at least there is no need to worry about being beaten and killed.

Although this trip to Wei County was risky, it was well worth it.

"What's the situation in Chang'an now?"

Yuwen Shiji was not stupid. When he asked about Chang'an, he was naturally asking about the Li family.

In the current situation, anyone with a sound mind should understand that it is impossible to break out of Guanzhong.

Therefore, Yuwen Shiji could not understand Li Yuan's attitude.

"I heard from the second son of the Li family that the head of the Li family was initially persuaded and was ready to send you a letter of surrender, but suddenly changed his mind and is delaying the delivery of the letter."

He recalled and continued:

"Only one incident has occurred so far."

"What is it?"

"Dong Shuni, one of the two beauties of Luoyang, was taken in as a concubine by Li Yuan. I heard they often had sex. Some said he listened to some whispers. Of course, this is just a rumor at the time. I don't know the specific intentions of the Li Clan leader."

Pillow talk?

There is no doubt that Li Yuan is an old pervert, after all, he has more than 40 children.

Everyone in the underworld knows that he is lustful, so it is not surprising that there are such rumors.

But to say that he listened to the advice of others in this matter is absolutely impossible.

Unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

Dong Shu Ni's true love is Yang Xu Yan.

Xiao Yang is really cruel. The magic master Pang Ban has to call him "senior" when he sees him.

Yuwen Shiji's words were just hearsay, but Zhou Yi had guessed a general idea from his few short sentences.

Without hearing Zhou Yi's response, Yuwen Shiji racked his brains and told him all the news he knew about Chang'an.

The next day.

Anyang has undergone tremendous changes.

The generals of the Xiaoguo Army had received instructions from Yu Wenzhi, and Wei County also followed Xingyang in raising the Zhou flag.

When this news spread, many soldiers felt relieved.

They had no loyalty to the so-called Weijun court, and joining Zhou Tang was great news for them.

Not only the soldiers in the army, but even the people of Wei County were cheering.

What makes them excited is not how good the future new monarch will be, but a sense of security.

Judging from the current situation in the world, it seems that there is no need to fight any more wars in the Nine Provinces.

It was the seventh day since Yu Wenjin crossed the sea to Japan.

Shan Xiongxin and Du Fuwei came to Weijun and smoothly took over the Xiaoguo Army.

At the same time, after hearing the news from Weijun, the neighboring King Dou Jiande of Xia also sent people south.

Liu Heita, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Su Ding had just defeated Luo Yi in Youzhou.

At that time, they were attacking Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, two Turkic lackeys, so Dou Jiande sent another confidant, Zhuge Dewei.

This person is very similar to Hou Xibai. He is dressed like a Confucian scholar and looks very handsome. He also uses a fan.

The difference is that it was an iron fan.

"Zhuge Dewei meets the Heavenly Master~!"

In the imperial city of Weijun, Zhuge Dewei restrained his appearance and did not dare to be rude in the slightest.

This middle-aged man, who usually liked to joke with Liu Heita, was as serious as he could be at this moment.

Even Dou Jiande would never see such an attitude.

Zhou Yi took the letter he handed over and said with a smile, "I've wanted to meet King Xia for a long time, but I never had the chance. This time, I'll go with you."

"Absolutely not!"

Zhuge Dewei said hurriedly:

"The King of Xia claims to be of humble origin, and that he raised an army in troubled times out of necessity. As soon as the fighting in the north subsides, he will come to see the Heavenly Master immediately. He would never dare ask the Heavenly Master to come in person."

He spoke sincerely, as if he was imitating the expression of King Xia when he spoke.

Zhou Yi had no ill feelings towards Dou Jiande.

At this time, he smiled slightly, unfolded the letter, and asked as he read it, "What else did King Xia say?"

Zhuge Dewei said solemnly:

"The Turks are marching south, liaising with the Khitan, Mohe, and other tribes, and are planning to invade the Nine Provinces. We only need to await the Heavenly Master's order. In our lands of Yan and Zhao, there will undoubtedly be a large number of soldiers who will bravely fight to the death and join you in slaying these foreign invaders."

"Okay, I understand what King Xia means."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, Shan Xiongxin grinned and extended his hand to lead the way: "Brother Dewei, please come this way!"

Naturally, he went to entertain Zhuge Dewei.

After the two walked away, Du Fuwei on the other side also laughed:

"As expected, Dou Jiande has lost his ambition to dominate. Now, all we need is Chang'an."

He looked at Zhou Yi, cupped his hands and said seriously:

"Du Fuwei congratulates Your Majesty in advance on establishing the Kyushu Empire and completing the great cause of unification!"

Zhou Yi supported his hand and blamed him with a smile: "Brother Du, why are you being so polite?"

“Hey~!”

Du Fuwei waved his hand. "There's always a difference between the Jianghu and the imperial court. The emperor has his own dignity. Otherwise, how could he govern the world? I should be the first to uphold it. I must not overstep my bounds in the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects."

Zhou Yi saw that he was not joking, closed Dou Jiande's letter, and recalled:

"I still remember the scene when we first met in Shouchun."

"Yes, back then I could never have imagined the situation today."

Zhou Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go and have a few drinks."

Du Fuwei hesitated for a moment.

Zhou Yi gestured to the surroundings: "Brother Du, don't overthink it. I haven't ascended the throne yet, and there's no one around."

"I'm afraid your brother won't have the chance to drink with me again when he discusses the relationship between the emperor and his subjects. Tomorrow I'm heading to Chang'an, and it won't be easy to find another opportunity. I want you to know that no matter how you discuss it, in my heart, gratitude and loyalty will not be diluted by time."

Du Fuwei was, after all, a straightforward and bold man, and he sighed with a smile:

"good!"

He only said one brief word, but his heart contained many words and even richer emotions.

Throughout history, there have been many people who share joys and sorrows, but few who share happiness.

Du Fuwei just felt that he had a good vision and had not misjudged the person.

That day, they drank heavily in the imperial city of Weijun and talked about the past in Jianghuai.

…

"Hurry, get off the boat!"

Dongjun, bordering the Yellow River to the north, controls the Baimazin ferry. On the waterway near the Yongji Canal, several speedboats are heading east.

This place controls Hejin and is adjacent to Caoqu, and has become an extremely important water and land transportation hub.

Going further east, you will reach the throat of the Yongji Canal water transportation and the material distribution center.

Shouts were heard from several wooden boats. At the bow stood a six-foot-tall man with an unshaven beard, speaking Guanzhong dialect. He wiped the sweat off his face and shouted into the boat.

"Why are you getting off the boat when we haven't even reached the destination yet?"

A neutral voice sounded.

This was a man in his thirties, accompanied by a young woman and a middle-aged man who looked similar to the woman but was a little older than him.

As soon as the man finished speaking, he immediately drew out his sword.

It was because the big man at the bow pulled out a steel knife.

"What are you going to do!"

He drew his sword and was on guard. At this moment, the middle-aged man stepped forward and put his sword back into the scabbard.

"Brother?"

The middle-aged man winked at him and bowed to the burly man at the bow.

"Men, please don't resort to violence. We will disembark immediately."

"You are a sensible person, go quickly."

The man at the bow urged them, and just as they were about to disembark, he added, "We, the Weishui Sect, work alongside the Yellow River Gang. To save you from damaging our reputation, we're asking you to disembark."

"If you're slow later, you'll have to be a water ghost like us."

"I'm afraid you're not good at swimming and can't stay in the water, so we'll have to trouble the corpse retriever."

After hearing this, the two men and one woman were obviously frightened.

Yellow River Gang!

As the largest force among the Eight Gangs and Ten Associations, the first person they thought of was Dapeng Tao Guangzu.

The young man with the sword drawn couldn't help but ask, "If we follow the Yellow River Gang, doesn't that mean we're following Master Peng? Is there any business on this waterway that Master Peng can't protect?"

“It was okay a few years ago, but who would dare to say such a big thing now?”

This six-foot-tall man has been working on the boat for many years and is a chatterbox.

He quickly stopped talking: "Hurry up and go!"

At the same time, seventeen or eighteen people emerged from the surrounding boats, each holding a weapon.

Passengers on several boats disembarked one after another. Some of those who ran so fast even lost their cargo.

After the middle-aged man surnamed Shen took the two people off the boat, he looked back.

I saw a small boat coming down briskly and approaching straight ahead.

There were only two cold-looking men in black at the bow. When they looked over, they noticed that their five senses were extremely sharp and they turned their eyes to stare at them.

That moment

The three of them felt like they were falling into an icy cave.

Before they could react, the boat stirred up a wave and the men in black picked up their weapons and rushed forward to kill them.

He was not afraid even when faced with so many people.

The clinking of weapons dazzled the people around. The two men in black were extremely fast, and their sword skills were fierce and fast as they were full of energy.

And it was very strange. Whenever the people from Weishui Sect exchanged swords with them, their bodies would become stiff as if they were possessed.

The two of them fought against a larger force and killed seven or eight skilled fighters in a short time.

It can be predicted that this group of Weishui Sect members will be killed.

He originally wanted to help, but was frightened by the black-clad man's methods and silently stepped back.

"Where is your gang leader?"

A man in black started asking questions.

The people from the Weishui Sect ignored them completely, and the remaining people realized they couldn't win, so they jumped into the water.

The two men and one woman who spoke to them at the beginning finally understood what it meant to be a water ghost.

It turned out that people asked them to get off the boat out of kindness and did not want to affect them.

The young man who was about to draw his sword pressed on the hilt, wanting to help.

The middle-aged man surnamed Shen whispered, "Don't be so stubborn, we are no match for you."

The woman at the side asked, "Big brother, second brother, who are they?"

"have no idea."

"But those who dare to kill the Weishui Sect must be as powerful as the Yellow River Gang."

To them, a gang like the Yellow River Gang with 20,000 members is already a behemoth.

How could they provoke a force that could be their enemy?

At this moment, the three of them exclaimed "Huh" at the same time.

While they were talking, in a moment of distraction, they saw a man in white clothes appear on the boat they were on!

He seemed to appear out of thin air, so strange.

Seeing such a scene in broad daylight, I thought I was dazzled.

The two men in black on the boat were frightened and took several steps back.

At this time, the woman next to the middle-aged man surnamed Shen frowned slightly, staring at the man in white, and unexpectedly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

She shook her head again.

"Who are you?!"

A master in black shouted.

"Are you from the Taihang Gang?"

Upon hearing this, three of them were surprised.

Soon, the surprise on the faces of the two men in black turned into horror.

Because the man in white in front of them just stretched out his hand, the mysterious true energy in their bodies suddenly rioted uncontrollably, and then rushed out of the top of the head at an unimaginable speed!

It’s over!

At this moment, the two men who had been so ferocious just now were like shrimps with their tendons pulled out, with their necks shrunken downwards.

“Ah~~!!”

A tragic wail echoed throughout Baimajin. The disciples of the Weishui Sect underwater heard it clearly and popped their heads out one after another.

The spectators around felt cold under their feet when they saw this horrific scene.

“Plop~!”

With two consecutive sounds, the man in black fell into the water.

Dead!

He's actually dead!

Everyone retreated together, and had no idea how the two masters died.

Looking at them, it was as if their souls had been sucked out.

And the man in white just raised his hand.

People have an instinctive fear of the unknown.

The Shen brothers took several steps back, only to find that the girl next to them not only did not retreat, but moved towards the wooden boat.

"Qiaolan, come back soon!"

The two shouted in unison, but the girl walked faster and faster, and then ran straight to the side of the boat.

They couldn't care less anymore and used their Qinggong skills to try to get her back.

Zhou Yi was following the two streams of true qi to sense the martial arts skills of the person who was performing the technique, when he suddenly felt someone walking towards him.

Looking back, I saw a gentle, beautiful and slim woman, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.

Um?

He took a closer look and suddenly felt that the woman looked familiar.

When Zhou Yi turned around, the woman was stunned at first, thinking that she was hallucinating.

However, he saw a strange expression on the handsome yet unfamiliar face in front of him.

It seems like he knows himself?

Thinking of this, she asked nervously, "Benefactor, is that you?"

After hearing this, the Shen brothers paused at the same time.

Benefactor?

The two of them looked at Zhou Yi. The young man didn't react much. The middle-aged man surnamed Shen was stunned for a moment, then took another look, and it was as if a volcano erupted in his heart.

At this moment, he felt that the deaths of the two masters were perfectly reasonable.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Do you know me?"

Shen Qiaolan was unsure at first, but now when she heard the voice, she was filled with excitement.

Back then, in the Xiaojin Tower in Nanyang, she met a yellow-faced man. If it weren't for this man's help, her end would have been tragic, and she would never have been able to return to Yanzhao to find her relatives.

Although the face has changed, the voice cannot be forgotten.

"My benefactor, are you from Nanyang?"

Zhou Yi recalled the battle at that time and said with a smile: "The flowing waves take the moon away, the tide brings the stars."

These two sentences explain everything.

Shen Qiaolan was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

"I never thought I would see my benefactor again in this life."

With a trembling voice, she wanted to bow and express her gratitude, but Zhou Yi held her back with a strong wind.

“Miss Shen, I am also relieved to see you return to the land of Yanzhao.”

"Goodbye."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he jumped directly onto the boat of the two men in black.

The people at Baima Ferry were stunned as a miracle suddenly appeared before their eyes!

The water of the Yellow River flows eastward to the sea, but this time there is a boat that goes west without the need for a ferryman. In the distance, only the crisp sound of a white dress breaking through the wind can be heard.

"The evening river is still and calm, spring flowers are in full bloom. The flowing waves carry the moon away, the tide brings the stars in."

Someone was singing with tears in his eyes on the bank. Perhaps Guangshen could hardly have imagined that his Spring River Moon Night would be melodiously played on both sides of the Yellow River in such a way.
