I saw the boatman of the Thunderbolt Hall shaking the sculls, bypassing the big boat of the Bronze Whale Gang, and slowly sailing forward.Seeing that the time had come, Jiang Xiao ordered people to go to the bow of the building boat and wave the green flag as a sign, and planned to launch a fire attack.Unexpectedly, after the subordinates waved the flag for a long time, the dozen or so small boats were all motionless, and there was no reaction at all.Jiang Xiao couldn't help wondering, and thought to himself, "Could it be that Lord Xiong and the others also know that Wuyunzhang is there, and they dare not do anything because of the prestige of the Gu Luo family?"

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter floating on the river, Jiang and Shi were startled when they heard the sound, they both rushed to the bow of the boat, and saw a person on the small boat that came out of the laughter came out from the canopy, it was Xiong Jian, the leader of the Black Flood Dragon Clan .Jiang Xiao frowned, and was about to ask a question, when Shi Sen suddenly said, "Wait a minute, something is wrong with Chief Xiong." The two of them took a closer look, and saw Xiong Jian's dejected, distraught face, and there was still a person standing behind him, It seemed to be pushed out of the cabin by him.Jiang Xiao knew something was wrong, he took two steps along the side of the boat and took a look around, and saw that the person behind Xiong Jian was a thin old man dressed as a famous Taoist, but he didn't recognize him, so he said loudly, "Master Xiong, are you all right?" ?”

The voice was steadily transmitted to the other side of the boat, the leader of Xiong Gang seemed to be listening but did not hear, just bowed his head and remained silent.The old man in black behind him laughed, and said loudly: "Hero Luo, Hall Master Gu, the thieves from the Copper Whale Gang have colluded with the Black Jiao Gang and Feiyuwu gang, and they want to burn your seats with fireboat tricks." I taught everyone to die in fish belly. Although they compared you to Cao Mengde, they forgot that they were not Kong Ming or Zhou Lang either. Junior Brother Li and I have already restrained the leaders of the Black Flood Dragon Gang and Feiyuwu. If the gang bastard dares to make a wrong thought, the two of us will immediately send the two gang leaders back to the west, everyone can rest assured." On another small boat not far away, a very tall and thin figure stood up, holding the flying fish dock in his right hand Gang Leader He collared his collar and said coldly: "If your subordinates dare to act rashly, I will smash your dog's head with one palm." The voice was old and powerful, it was Zhu Lao.

I only heard Gu Tieshan's voice floating from afar on the Thunderbolt Hall boat and said: "Thank you two elders for your kindness and help, so that we can get out of this disaster. Gu is very grateful." It was Palace Master Xian who learned of the treacherous plot of the Tongjing Gang, and specially ordered me to come and help." Jing Lanzhou was shocked when he heard this, "It was Miss Xian who sent someone to help us again."

Jiang Xiao turned pale when he heard the words, turned around and asked, "Who are these two old men?" Everyone looked at each other, but no one recognized them.Suddenly there was another commotion on the deck, and more than a dozen members of the Copper Whale Gang who were dripping with water were carried from the stern to the front. They were all wounded, and their blood mixed with the river water.The confidant said with a look of panic: "Qi report to the leader, the other party has set up a spiked iron net in the river in advance, our brothers fell into the net as soon as we got into the water, and everyone was seriously injured."

Jiang Xiao was furious when he saw this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Well, someone from Jiang will show respect first and then fight, how dare the Thunder Martyrdom use such low-level tricks to plot against the gang!" Go, rushing out of the ship's side like an arrow, Mannian jumped on the board with his strength, and then he could land on the boat where Xiong Jian was.The soles of his feet were still a few feet away from the board, and a nine-section steel whip flew out from a small boat nearby. The head of the whip pierced into the board with a "wave", and pulled the long board aside, Jiang Xiao immediately lost his foothold. , in mid-air with nothing to do, fell into the river with a plop.Fortunately, his water skills are excellent, and there is no serious problem in falling into the water. He only looked very embarrassed. He looked up at the small boat beside him and saw an old man in green robe standing proudly on the bow. I have to ask for trouble again. If you still have the evil heart, I will definitely teach the copper whale to help you!"

Jiang Xiao was furious in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask your name? Please leave Waner, today's affairs can't be good!" ', why don't I help Thunder Martial Hall escape? The leader doesn't need to ask my name, but please do it yourself." Seeing that the old man in Tsing Yi was actually Lei Choutian's teacher, Jiang Xiao was shocked, so he stopped talking and turned his head Swimming back to the building boat, his men had already put a rope ladder to pull him up.

Seeing the boats of the Thunderbolt Hall drifting away on the river, Shi Sen frowned and said, "I didn't expect that there are so many experts in the Thunderbolt Hall to help, so it's not easy to deal with." "La" missing a piece, and said coldly: "Don't worry about Gang Master Shi, let them be prestige at the moment. At that time, Mr. Mu will only need to take action to discipline these people to death without a place to bury them."

Jing Lanzhou and others crossed the Jiujiang River by boat, and arrived at the border of Huguang on the second day.A group of people passed Qizhou in the evening, Gu Tieshan said: "Ahead is Huangzhou Mansion, the home of the Bronze Whale Gang, and I don't know what Jiang Xiao's plan is to deal with us." Gu Qingzhi said: "Father, let all these good guys go Here, why are you still afraid of a mere Copper Whale Gang?" Gu Tieshan said: "There is a saying that 'a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake', we must be careful in everything in other people's territory. What's more, the Copper Whale Gang has a lot of people, how can you Are you talking so dismissively?" Gu Qingzhi said: "This place is not far from Wuchang, aren't we considered half-hearted snakes?" Gu Tieshan laughed and said, "Little girl is talking nonsense."

In the evening, when the boat arrived at the foot of Xisai Mountain, it was moored by a Taoist priest, but there was a vast river, cliffs and mountains, and the terrain was very steep.Several people had dinner, Gu Tieshan said: "This place is very close to Wuchang, we might as well take the land route tomorrow morning, we can get there in a day on horseback, and avoid entanglement with the Copper Whale Gang on the water." Everyone nodded in agreement.

After eating, the six of them went back to the cabin to rest, only to hear the cuckoo outside the boat crowing at night, the sound was very sad.Thinking of his senior brother Wen Kui, Jing Lanzhou couldn't help being agitated, and went ashore alone to relax. Looking at the moon reflected in the river's waves and the forests and bamboos on both sides of the river, he felt melancholy for a while, so he took out his iron flute and played it softly.He is not very proficient in melody, usually Gu Shentang can only point out one or two, but the timbre of this iron flute is very good, and now he is playing it casually, but it is tactful and low-pitched, deep and deep.

Suddenly he heard a person behind him say: "The sound of the flute is desolate, like weeping and complaining. Could it be that Brother Jing has something on his mind?" It was Luo Yushu who came ashore with him.Jing Lanzhou said with a smile, "My donkey barks like a dog, but I have to meet Brother Luo's bosom friend." Luo Yushu said: "Brother, you don't need to worry too much. Luo has been thinking about it these days, and he always feels that Senior Wen must still be in the world. He will meet someday." Jing Lanzhou sighed, "I hope Brother Cheng has a good word."

Luo Yushu smiled slightly, and said: "The sound of the flute played by Xiongtai is elegant and refined, how can it be disturbed by the thieves? Our journey is destined to be uneven." The scabbard lightly stroked the ground, picking up a small stone and hitting it On a big tree next to the two of them, there was only an "ouch" sound from the branches and leaves, and one person fell from the tree, grinning his teeth and crying out in pain.Jing Lanzhou said with a smile: "This man's martial arts are low, I think he is a pawn before the horse, why should Brother Luo make things difficult for him?"
