On a body of water in Sanjiang County.
One large ship after another was linked together with iron chains, forming a floating island.
This is the location of Lianjiang Water Village.
This location is not fixed. As the large ships separate and go their separate ways, they will reunite in a new area the next time they are reunited.
This is precisely the characteristic of Lianjiang Water Village.
For those unfamiliar with these things, finding the location of the water village is not easy.
At this moment, Li Hanzhou, the fourth chieftain of Lianjiang Water Village, is meeting with guests.
Three figures sat upright and very reserved in front of him.
“Wenzheng, I thought that no one in Li Garden was left except me. I never thought I would see you again. I am very gratified.”
The three figures were none other than the Three Heroes of Liyuan.
After having some contact with the Sihai Escort Agency, the three continued their journey through the martial arts world.
By chance, Sanyi's eldest brother, Li Wenzheng, unexpectedly encountered an elder from Liyuan.
"Fourth Uncle, I never heard from you again after you left Li Garden back then. I never thought I would see you again..."
Li Wenzheng looked at Li Hanzhou in front of him, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The other two people standing to the side exchanged glances, the meanings of which were known only to themselves.
The three met at Li Garden and, admiring the chivalrous spirit of their ancestors, formed a sworn brotherhood with Li Wenzheng, who shared the same ideals, and adopted the name "The Three Heroes of Li Garden".
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother encountered Elder Li twice, and the results were heartbreaking both times.
The last one was a bandit from Tianwang Village, but this one is a water bandit from Lianjiang Water Village.
If the ancestors of Li Yuan knew this in the afterlife, they would probably be so angry that they would jump out of their coffins.
Seeing Li Wenzheng's expression, Li Hanzhou immediately understood his intentions.
He smiled.
"What, do you think your fourth uncle has disgraced Li Yuan?"
Li Wen's expression froze, somewhat embarrassed.
"Fourth Uncle is joking. Although I am new to the world, I have heard that Lianjiang Water Village has a good reputation for righteousness and is quite different from those low-life thieves."
Haha~
Li Hanzhou burst into laughter, his gaze falling on Li Wenzheng, and asked:
"The martial world is indeed a place that tempers people. You've become cunning, not as stubborn as you were when you were a kid. Back then, you even rode on my head and peed on me."
"Pfft~"
The woman in the Three Virtues couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although they were both her elder brothers' seniors, she felt that Li Hanzhou was quite easy to get along with, completely different from the previous Li Tianwang.
At this moment, Li Hanzhou shook his head again and snorted coldly.
"When you say 'lowlife,' you mean those guys from Tianwang Village, right? Li Wu used to always go against me, but in the end, he ended up in that runaway den of thieves. I heard they were all wiped out not long ago. He really knows how to make Li Yuan proud."
Li Wen's face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and finally opened his mouth.
"Actually... I've met Uncle Wu before, and I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen."
"Have you seen him?"
Li Hanzhou's expression shifted slightly. "Then do you know who destroyed Tianwang Village?"
"It's Chief Escort Lin from the Sihai Escort Agency."
After a moment of silence and some internal deliberation, Li Wenzheng told the truth.
There are reasons why Li Hanzhou was unaware of the specific information.
Lin Ce casually dealt with the four Heavenly Kings of Tianwang Village and left. The rest of the matter was handled by the three heroes of Liyuan.
The three did not deliberately publicize it. Although the outside world knew that Tianwang Village had been destroyed, they did not know who destroyed it or how it was destroyed.
Li Hanzhou didn't care much about the small Tianwang Village, and naturally didn't bother to spend the effort to investigate the specific details.
But upon hearing Li Wenzheng's words, he couldn't help but ponder them slightly.
"Sihai Escort Agency...that sounds familiar?"
Of course it sounds familiar!
Li Wenzheng muttered a complaint in his heart, but of course he dared not say it outwardly.
"Fourth Uncle, to be honest, I've met Chief Escort Lin once before. I've come here today precisely because of the Sihai Escort Agency."
He forced himself to say those words.
Although he himself was only a ninth-rank martial artist, he could still vaguely sense the strength of Li Hanzhou in front of him.
This fourth uncle is far stronger than the previous fifth uncle. Even Liu Tianwang, the leader of Tianwang Village, is no match for him.
But vaguely, he recalled the dashing figure of that boy from the past, and there was a strange certainty about it.
If the fourth uncle in front of him were to become an enemy of that boy, he would probably end up like the fifth uncle.
"Ah, I remember now, Seventh Brother detained a group of people a few days ago, and I heard they were from the Sihai Escort Agency."
Li Hanzhou shook his head and sighed, "This seventh brother, he managed to invite eight of his thirteen brothers. Is the Sihai Escort Agency really that difficult to deal with?"
"By the way, what did you just say?"
Li Hanzhou seemed not to have heard Li Wenzheng's words at all.
Li Wenzheng sighed inwardly, knowing that this trip would probably not be easy.
"Has Fourth Uncle not received the news? Chief Escort Lin of the Sihai Escort Agency defeated the master of Yanzheng Martial Arts School and is now challenging your village's leader to a duel."
"Oh, you mean this? I've heard about it, it's pretty good."
"fine?"
Li Wenzheng was taken aback; he truly hadn't expected this.
Does this mean that the people of Lianjiang Water Village are not worried about the challenge at all?
“Nephew, you must be tired from your long journey. It’s getting late, why don’t you go and rest first? I’ll introduce you to the brothers in the village tomorrow.”
Looking at the blazing sun outside, Li Wenzheng wanted to say that it was not late at all.
But he knew in his heart that Li Hanzhou obviously didn't want to continue the conversation on this topic.
He wisely kept his mouth shut.
After having someone take Li Yuan and his two companions to rest, Li Hanzhou, who remained in the same spot, suddenly let out a laugh of unclear meaning.
"Although the seventh brother broke the rules, he actually did the right thing... Will he accept the challenge? He hasn't shown his face for so long, I bet many people are itching to fight him, right?"
While I was deep in thought, I suddenly heard panicked shouts coming from outside.
"The ship is sinking! The ship is sinking—"
"The hull is taking on water! Quickly plug it!"
"Don't panic, the ships are all linked together, they won't sink so easily, don't lose your composure."
“Someone has scuttled the boat. Send a few people down to see who is so audacious. Catch them and bring them back up.”
"Seventh Brother, what's wrong?"
Li Hanzhou leaped out and stood on high ground, discovering that the commotion originated from a certain direction of the chain of ships.
In that direction, someone else also leaped to a high place; it was none other than the seventh chieftain of Lianjiang Water Village.
"Someone is sabotaging the boat. Trying to do this under the very nose of our Lianjiang Water Village is like showing off one's skills before an expert."
The seventh chieftain sneered, "When it comes to underwater skills, let alone Sanjiang County, even in the entire Sihai Prefecture, there might not be anyone who can defeat us..."
"No, something happened over there too. Ships that are so far away have been pierced, and there are more than one group of people operating underwater."
The seventh chieftain shouted, "Send down several more groups of men and search every place carefully."
"Seventh Brother, do you need any help?"
A few more people appeared, some of them laughing gleefully.
But soon, their smiles faded.
"Holy crap, our ship has been blasted through too!"
