"We are now within reach of Linjiang Pavilion."
Ding Shaoan reined in the horse's path.
One day later, Jiang Fan finally returned to the Linjiang Pavilion area. Along the way, he was once again attacked by a group of people. Jiu Xiong fought hard and finally protected the two of them from the siege. Although three people were slightly injured and two were seriously injured.
At a high price, a group of horses were also intercepted.
"There is no need to stop, continue on your way." Jiang Fan did not hesitate. In his opinion, Linjiang Pavilion was just a restaurant, and they did not have much to do with each other, so they could not be implicated.
"After running continuously for a day and night, we are tired and our horses are exhausted. Even if we can still move, the horses cannot hold on. We should rest before continuing." Ding Shaoan said.
"The enemy will not rest. We bypass Linjiang Pavilion and there is a ferry terminal near Hecang County. We will abandon our horses and take a boat."
"The river is dominated by black-sailed bandits. Aren't we just falling into a trap?"
Jiang Fan said: "They shouldn't have thought that we would dare to take a boat. Besides, the mountain road more than 30 miles west of Linjiang Pavilion is rugged and difficult, and it is easy to be overtaken. As long as we take a boat and arrive at the head of Bailuzhou, I will certainly be able to do it!"
"Egret Island?" Ding Shaoan frowned: "I've heard that it's just a small sandbank in the middle of the river. How can it help?"
Jiang Fan chuckled and said: "It's a good place for fishing there... let's go!"
Ding Shaoan and Boss Xiong looked at each other and had no choice but to gallop to follow.
Linjiang Pavilion.
"Miss, Jiang Xiaolang didn't come, he just passed by."
"Oh?" The beautiful woman in gilded clothes put down the kettle in her hand: "Himself?"
The girl in pink clothes said: "The waiter reported that there were eleven people in the group, including Jiang Xiaolang, a total of ten men and one woman."
"Woman?" The beautiful woman in brocade clothes was stunned for a moment: "Why is there a woman? Have you ever seen her appearance clearly?"
"It's far away so I can't see her. The waiter said the woman is about twenty years old and tall."
"Who are those men?"
"They are said to be tall, majestic, and menacing."
The beautiful woman in golden clothes thought for a while, "Young woman... do you still remember that Chen Laojun's people intercepted and killed young women these days?"
The girl in pink clothes exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be that... the young lady suspects that the woman is related to this matter?"
The beautiful woman in brocade clothes said: "Jiang Xiaolang has been here for a year, fishing and hunting every day, and has never interacted with the Jianghu people. Now there is a young woman in the group, a nine-year-old man. This is unusual."
The girl in separate clothes said: "They went in the direction of the small ferry near Hecang County. They couldn't possibly want to take a boat."
The beautiful woman in brocade clothes said: "Chen Lao Turtle has great power on the river, doesn't Jiang Xiaolang know? Xiaolang looks calm and calm, but in fact he is wise and enlightened. It is absolutely impossible for him to fall into a trap. If he takes a boat, it must make sense. Xiaohe, hurry up and send him.
Xiaoqing was notified and asked to send someone to follow her secretly, and she had to personally direct all actions."
Xiaohe nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away. By the way, Sister Qing said that two groups of people have been intercepted and killed, both from Jiangxin Island. So far, they have done it cleanly, but as time goes by, I'm afraid that Jiangxin Island will sooner or later
They will doubt us."
The beautiful woman in brocade clothes said: "The black-sail thieves are rampant on the river and do all kinds of evil. I have long disliked them. Now it is time to encounter them."
The girl in pink clothes was a little worried and said: "This old bastard Chen has been hiding on the island in the middle of the river for twenty years. It is said that he was severely injured back then, and he has been afraid of death since then. Now he has taken action personally. I guess he has encountered some opportunity.
, there may be someone behind it, Miss, is the risk this time too great?"
The beautiful woman in brocade clothes said: "There are risks, but I, Pei Yunjin, am not an ungrateful person. Besides, although my Linjiang Pavilion is just a restaurant, I may not be afraid of the person behind him."
The girl in pink hesitated, her big eyes a little confused: "Miss, are you willing to take such a big risk... Are you really just doing this because of my kindness to Linjiang Pavilion?"
The beautiful woman in brocade clothes was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You little girl, when did you become so sensitive?"
The girl in pink clothes muttered: "I just think the risk is too great. Miss, you said that the world is in turmoil and you are unwilling to get involved in the disputes between Jianghu. You have tolerated it for so long to preserve the foundation of Linjiang Pavilion. Do you want to..."
The beautiful woman in brocade clothes looked at the river from a distance and smiled slightly: "Isn't it just to wait for the unexpected meeting... But Xiaolang once said that when it's time to take action, take action. Tell Xiaoqing, don't look forward and backward, just let go and take action!"
A huge black-sailed ship on the river was moving westward along the river, escorted by two smaller sailboats.
At the bow of the boat, a plump middle-aged man closed his eyes and meditated. There were two people standing on each side of him.
The woman in black tights on the right said: "Father, we have found the young man. He is currently fleeing westward with a woman and nine masters, but the elderly man in his family is nowhere to be seen. Now things are unusual, and people have been sent repeatedly.
The interception and killing actually resulted in the loss of troops and generals, and my daughter suspected that someone was obstructing it."
The plump middle-aged man did not open his eyes. He turned two fine steel balls in his hand and said slowly after a moment: "Mr. Cao, what do you think?"
An old man in brown clothes with a gloomy face on the left said: "This family should have fled in two directions. But I think that this young man and the woman are our main targets. The young man was naughty. He abandoned his horse first and then went the other way.
After that, he headed north again, making it difficult for people to figure out. But now, I confirm that this son’s real purpose is to go east. With this son’s mind, the east must have its protection, so we must hurry up and get him there beforehand.
Cut it off."
The plump middle-aged man was noncommittal: "Who do you think, sir, is secretly helping that young man?"
The old man said: "It's not clear yet. As the lady said, we sent several groups of troops, but they all fell into the sand, which is very unusual. But on the Canglan River, there are not many people who dare to be enemies of our gang. It's just me."
After speculating for a long time, none of the forces involved is very likely, and there is no accurate information on the summit."
The plump middle-aged man said: "We can find out the origin of that young man."
The woman in black said: "The fisherman by the river calls himself Jiang Fan. He came here a year ago to make a living by fishing and hunting. He is extremely ordinary and there is nothing suspicious about it. But originally there was only one old man and one young boy in the family, and no one I asked had heard of it.
There is also a young woman."
The old man said: "Because no one has seen it, there is no way to describe the woman's appearance. The people we sent only reported in black and white. The woman was tall and tall, but there were large red spots on her face, which seemed to be birthmarks. The red spots covered her eyebrows. In addition,
It was late at night and I couldn't see his appearance clearly. But Black and White Shuangsha said with certainty that neither the boy nor the woman had any real energy fluctuations, so they probably didn't know martial arts."
The woman said: "That being said, there are many talented people and strangers in the world, so it may not be a deliberate attempt to hide it. That young man alone is unusual. He is so slick and good at disguise. How can he be an ordinary person? Not to mention the manpower we sent.
Losing troops and generals is obviously an enemy of his adoptive father. According to what my daughter sees, these two are the most suspicious at the moment."
The plump middle-aged man said slowly after a long time: "Go down and don't capture these two people. Especially the woman must be alive. As for the others, they will be killed if they cannot be captured alive."
"Follow the order!" said the woman in black: "My daughter personally commanded and vowed to share the worries of her adoptive father. But the person in the dark..."
The plump middle-aged man said: "It's a deal to bet thousands of heads of my Black Sail Gang... Send them all out, and those who stand in the way will be killed without mercy. If you can survive this time, these eight thousand miles of Canglan River will finally be in my hands."
