"Master Lin, where are we going next?"

Qin Ke sat on the shaft of the carriage, holding a horse whip in his hand, not knowing which direction to go.

Early in the morning, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling left, and the two of them were going to Xingyang to find Miss Su Su. Lin Sumo did not plan to change anything about Su Su's fate, so Xiangyushan was held in her palm. Perhaps this was her best destination.

Fu Junmao also left with Fu Junyu. Fu Junyu followed Fu Cailin's order and went to Middle Earth to find Fu Junmao and ordered him to return to Goryeo as soon as possible. The teacher's order was difficult to violate. In addition, Fu Junmao had intended to return to Goryeo, but although he was reluctant to leave, he had to leave.

Lin Sumo sent the two to the ferry, and they were about to sail north. Looking at the sail shadows that were leaving, Lin Sumo couldn't help but feel a little sad. In a blink of an eye, he became a lonely man again. Fortunately, the sad parting came and went quickly.

"Go back to Panlong Castle!"

Lin Sumo's arrangement in Chaohu Water Village has not been completed, and the forbidden area on the back mountain of Panlong Fort has not been explored clearly. There is also Liyang City, which also needs to be met for Du Fuwei in advance. Whether it is to win over or subjugate, it needs to be completed as soon as possible.

Yang Guang's fleet was about to enter Jiangdu, and the collapse of the Great Sui Dynasty was not far away.

Three days later, Lin Sumo returned to the "Panlong Castle". At this time, Yi Hui, the three masters of the "Chaohu Water Village", had been waiting in the "Panlong Castle" for two days.

Yi Hui's appearance already represents Shen Chenzhou's attitude, and Lin Sumo was not surprised by Shen Chenzhou's choice. After all, not everyone can do it by betting on life, and Shen Chenzhou can't do it either.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a few days, Shen Chenzhou finally sent Yi Hui over. Shen Chenzhou could not bear the consequences of his rejection. Although he would lose his freedom and be controlled by Lin Sumo, he would lose his freedom in this world, in a chaotic world, life is as low as grass, and his fists are big. One day, the "Chaohu Water Village" will be coveted by others.

With the strength of "Chaohu Water Village" and Shen Chenzhou, it is not enough to protect yourself in this chaotic era. It is only a matter of time before you choose a strong boss to sell yourself. The only difference is sooner or later and how much it is worth.

At least, judging from the current situation, Shen Chenzhou felt that it was pretty good. At least Lin Sumo's powerful cultivation gave Shen Chenzhou a reassurance.

The surrender of the "Chaohu Water Village" made Lin Sumo focus his development on the construction of the navy. He immediately entered the "Chaohu Water Village" secretly, no one knew about it except the five masters of the water village.

For a long time, in order not to attract attention, the naval army combat department of the Chaohu Water Village has developed secretly and trained secretly. Although the scale is more than 400 people and nearly 100 warships of all sizes, in Lin Sumo's opinion, these are not enough.

First of all, the warships in the "Chaohu Water Village" are only ten meters long and have limited combat power. Compared with the "Five-toothed Ship" of the Great Sui Navy, these warships are like toys.

If you want to expand the scale of the navy and form a huge combat power, the first thing you need is to upgrade the level of warships, using the "Five-toothed Ship" as the standard. Lin Sumo referred to the Navy Army System of the Chu State during the Warring States Period, divided the level of warships into five levels: "Yuhuang", "Three Wings", "Burning", "Boiling Ship", and "Bridge".

Among them, the "three wings" are divided into three grades: "big wings", "middle wings" and "small wings". The "big wings" are twenty feet long, similar to the "five-toothed ship"!

The "middle wing" is fifteen zhang long, the "small wing" is ten zhang long, the other 'bounces' five zhang, the "street boat" is three zhang, and the "bridge" is two zhang! As for the top 'Yu Huang', the total length is more than 30 zhang, it is difficult to build with its current financial, manpower and material resources.

After more than ten days, Lin Sumo will finally clarify many issues in building a navy army, but the biggest problem facing him is the lack of money.

The "Chaohu Water Village" was developed based on fishing. All livelihoods are in this Chaohu Lake. Occasionally, some canal transportation will be used as a supplement, but it is only barely enough to make a living.

If Lin Sumo wants to build a huge naval army in the Chaohu Water Village, he needs huge financial and material support. Even if it is added with the "Panlong Castle", it will not work. Unless there are large families like the Song family, it can do it.

The second is the "Yang Gong Treasure House". If all the property in the "Yang Gong Treasure House" can be built, it will be enough to build a powerful naval army. Unfortunately, the "Yang Gong Treasure House" is far away in Daxing, and it is difficult to save nearby fires from far away water.

Just when Lin Sumo was at a loss to raise money, Xiangyushan came to the "Panlong Castle" with a man covered in a cloak!

"Xianggui has met Grandmaster Lin!"

Seeing Lin Sumo in a secret room in the "Panlong Castle", the man immediately took off his cloak and quickly stepped forward to salute.

This person is Xianggui, the father of Xiangyu Mountain, and one of the core figures of the Baling Gang, second only to the great leader Lu Kangshou and the second leader Xiao Xian.

Lin Sumo nodded and smiled, "Boss Xiang is well-informed!"

Only more than ten days after the battle between Lin Sumo and Wang Tong, Xianggui, who was far away in Baling County, not only learned the news, but also traveled thousands of miles to the "Panlong Castle".

"Isn't Master Lin's attention to this and came to Juzi Yushan?" Xianggui smiled proudly and said, "When it comes to Yushan, Xianggui has to thank Master Lin for healing his injuries to Yushan, and finally got Xianggui's heart disease!"

Speaking of this, Xianggui took out a stack of silver bills from his arms and respectfully sent them to Lin Sumo, saying, "Xianggui has no choice but to repay him. I have some meaning. Please accept it!"

Lin Sumo glanced casually and found that there were about ten thousand taels of silver. This amount, calculated based on the current price, was also a considerable amount.

There are rumors in the world that among the eight gangs and ten gangs, the "Baling Gang" is the richest, followed by the "Haisha Gang", the "Peng Lianghui", the "Ju Kun Gang", etc. Xianggui can easily take action for ten thousand taels of silver. Now it seems that this statement is indeed true.

Lin Sumo was not polite and took it off directly. Although Lin Sumo's naval plan was a drop in the bucket, with this ten thousand taels of silver, the first step could finally start to move.

Xianggui felt relieved when he saw Lin Sumo accepting the silver bill. If he could take over the line from Lin Sumo, the future development of the Xiang family would be just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Xianggui couldn't help but feel excited and said, "I wonder if Master Lin has any other places to use Xianggui?"

Lin Sumo saw Xianggui's eyes flashing, "Boss Xiang doesn't have to beat around the bush. If you have anything to do, just say it bluntly!"

Xianggui hesitated and said, "Master Lin is interested in Yushan, but our Xiang family is just the 'Baling Gang' after all, it is not the 'Baling Gang' of the Xiang family. If he just collects and conveys some news for Master Lin, it would be fine. However, if Master Lin wants to plan a major event, Yushan will inevitably be reluctant to do things!"

Lin Sumo realized when he heard this that Xianggui had been hiding for many years but had not yet subsided, and his intervention made Xianggui's ambitions swell. However, how could Lin Sumo be used by Xianggui and become the knife in his hand?

Lin Sumo said silent for a long time, just squinted his eyes and stared at Xianggui. Until beads of sweat as big as beans on Xianggui's head rolled down, Lin Sumo said coldly: "Once at this point, I won't be the case!"

"Yes, yes, Xianggui understands!"

Xianggui said hurriedly. Under Lin Sumo's invisible pressure, Xianggui felt that his whole body was exhausted and his back was completely soaked in cold sweat.

"You might as well pay attention to the whereabouts of Yang Xuyan in the near future. As for how to choose, Boss Xiang, you can decide for yourself!" Just as Xiang Gui said goodbye and left, Lin Sumo suddenly said.

The leader of the "Baling Gang" Lu Kangshen was assassinated by the "Shadow Assassin" Yang Xuyan, probably in recent times. Now it seems that Xianggui was secretly arranged to hire the "Shadow Assassin" Yang Xuyan to assassinate the leader of the "Shadow Assassin" and support the second leader Xiao Xian to take the position of the leader of the "Baling Gang".

There has been a secret peace between Xiao Xian and the Xiang family to fight against the boss Lu Kangshen. Lin Sumo originally wanted to seize the opportunity to save Lu Kangshen from Yang Xuyan to win over the "Baling Gang". However, since she controlled Xiangyushan and Xianggui took the initiative to surrender, Lin Sumo naturally had a better choice. As for Lu Kangshen, let him continue his original destiny!

However, as Xianggui's ambition expands, I wonder if Xiao Xian's fake death will turn into real death, so that the Xiang family can completely control the entire "Baling Gang". If so, the change in this timeline will be too great, and it will even affect the historical trajectory of the entire Tang Dynasty plane.

After leaving the "Panlong Castle", Xiang Gui already knew what Lin Sumo said, which coincided with what he thought. At the same time, Xiang Gui was also secretly alert and was even more afraid of Lin Sumo.

Xianggui's arrival opened up Lin Sumo's ideas. The Xiang family, which is the eight gangs and ten gangs, is already rich enough to rival a country, so the "Haisha Gang" that makes a living by selling private salt, the "Jukun Gang" and other people must be rich enough to make a living.

I thought that I had seen Han Gaitian in Wang Tong's house before, but I missed it in person. However, the territory of the "Haisha Gang" is in the southeast area, so it is not difficult to find Han Gaitian in the Dragon King!

On this day, Lin Sumo took a boat to the Yangtze River downstream and quickly passed Jiangdu. He saw a large five-toothed ship shuttled back and forth on the river from afar. I guess Yang Guang's imperial voyage was not far from Jiangdu.

Lin Sumo went ashore in Rugao, and found several people in the martial arts world and soon found out where the head of the "Haisha Gang" was. Unexpectedly, the head of the "Haisha Gang" was in Ninghai County, not far from Rugao.

However, Lin Sumo did not find the "Dragon King" Han Gaitian at the head of the "Haisha Gang", but unexpectedly discovered You Qiufeng, the second-ranked figure in the "Haisha Gang".

After searching at the head of the "Haisha Gang", Lin Sumo did not find any valuable property. It was supposed to be secretly hidden by Han Gaitian. However, since Han Gaitian was not there, the money might only fall on You Qiufeng.
