Chapter 39 Jiao Mansion
The river is flowing slowly, the sky is gradually getting darker, the river wind is blowing, and the ferry slowly approaches the water gate of Jinling.
Watergate Pier is still brightly lit, with many merchant ships docking at the pier, and a large number of coolies working on the merchant ships to carry goods, working hard to earn a few hard-earned pennies.
Further away, the faint sound of piano music can be heard from the boats on the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River. Flute songs are everywhere in the river. The sound of oars is soft and the lights are dim. It seems that there is the fragrance of powder in the wind and the water.
The top disciples of the Golden Dragon Gang, Wu Ping and Zhang Dahong, together with several juniors, stood by the dock, their eyes constantly scanning the water, with unconcealable eagerness on their faces.
"Junior Brother Zhang, are you sure Master Zhu will be able to arrive at Jinling tonight?"
After Wu Ping waited for a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Zhang Dahong.
Zhang Dahong did not follow Feng Yuan to leave Jinling, but stayed in the city, used the money given by Feng Yuan to develop secretly, and used his fellow apprentices from the Jinlong Gang to inquire about news in the city.
After discovering the traces of Min Zihua and others, he immediately sent a message to Guru Jin.
According to the time given by Guru Jin in advance, the ferry will arrive at Jinling tonight.
"Don't worry, the young master will definitely arrive tonight! If he takes action, Min Zihua will never dare to be arrogant again!" Zhang Dahong said in a deep voice.
When Wu Ping heard this, he nodded and calmed down.
What happened today made all the disciples of the Golden Dragon Gang feel angry.
After discovering the whereabouts of Min Zihua and others, Jiao Gongli immediately sent his apprentice Luo Liru to deliver an invitation, inviting Min Zihua and others to a banquet at Jiao Mansion tomorrow night, hoping to resolve the grudges as quietly as possible.
However, what happened next ruined most of Jiao Gongli's plan.
When Luo Liru returned from delivering the letter, his right arm was cut off by Sun Zhongjun of the Huashan sect. He was still bleeding and fainted several times.
They are all close brothers. When Wu Ping and Zhang Dahong saw this scene, their hearts suddenly surged with anger.
If Jiao Gongli hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid Wu Ping would have gathered all the elite members of the Golden Dragon Gang to kill him and avenge his junior brother. Even if he died, he would still have to say this.
Now, Wu Ping can only hope that the young prince who is about to arrive at Jinling can help the Jinlong Gang.
As long as the other party can help, Wu Ping is willing to change his original mind and persuade his master Jiao Gongli to join Feng Yuan and serve him.
With Zhang Dahong delivering the news in Jinling, Wu Ping and other disciples of the Golden Dragon Gang also immediately heard the news that Feng Yuan had defeated Shandong Green Forest tycoon Sha Tianguang.
Being able to defeat such a master is enough to prove that Feng Yuan's martial arts is extremely high. Serving under such a master is not an insult to the Golden Dragon Gang.
Wu Ping and Zhang Dahong still don't know that Feng Yuan defeated the Invincible Divine Fist Gui Xinshu on the way to Jinling. If they hear this news, they will be shocked and relieved at the same time, and they no longer have to worry about it.
Feng Yuan could defeat even the Invincible Divine Fist, and the three disciples who had taken Gui Xinshu away were even more easily captured.
"Coming!"
About a stick of incense later, Wu Ping and Zhang Dahong saw a ferry approaching from a distance. Looking at the flags hanging on it, it was the ferry Feng Yuan and his party were riding on.
Soon, Feng Yuan, Gu Rujin and the others got off the boat and joined them.
"Master Zhu, you are finally here!"
Wu Ping stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute. After seeing Feng Yuan's figure with his own eyes, he felt a little relieved.
"Master has prepared wine and food at the house to welcome Young Master Zhu!"
Feng Yuan nodded and said: "Your master is determined! Let's go!"
On the way, Zhang Dahong followed Feng Yuan and whispered what happened to the Golden Dragon Gang during the day.
When talking about Luo Liru's arm being cut off by Sun Zhongjun of the Huashan sect, he intentionally or unintentionally focused on Sun Zhongjun's arrogance.
"Sure enough, major events in this world are still developing according to inertia. If I hadn't intervened, Yuan Chengzhi would have displayed his tyrannical martial arts in the Jiao Mansion of the Golden Dragon Gang and obtained clues to Wei Guogong's treasure..."
A glimmer of light flashed in Feng Yuan's eyes, and his face was calm and calm.
I just don’t know what Yuan Chengzhi would think when he saw the empty cave when he found the place according to the treasure map.
Inside Jinling City, the lights are brightly lit.
On the streets, there are many literati shopping and playing, as if they were in a prosperous and prosperous era. Who would have thought that while Jinling is still prosperous, the entire north is already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, thousands of miles of desolation.
Just when Feng Yuan sighed slightly in his heart.
At the same time, the Jiao Mansion of the Golden Dragon Gang was holding a banquet in the hall. Jiao Gongli, a group of disciples, and his daughter Jiao Waner were sitting in the hall, looking towards the door from time to time, eagerly awaiting.
While waiting, Jiao Gongli kept sighing, saying that he had mistakenly believed Taibai Sanying, which led Min Ziye to listen to the other party's instigation, causing this disaster.
"Brother Yuan, who do you think this Jiao Gongli is waiting for?"
In the corner outside the hall, two figures were lurking quietly. One of them had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and dark skin. He was a boy about twenty years old.
Next to the boy is a girl with beautiful features wearing men's clothes. This girl is good at dressing up. If you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to find that she is disguised as a man.
These two people were naturally Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing who came all the way from the Shiliang Sect to Jinling.
After they arrived in Jinling, they bumped into Min Zihua calling his friends and preparing to cause trouble for Jiao Gongli.
The two of them became curious and quietly followed Wan Lifeng and Sun Zhongjun to Jiao Mansion to investigate the news.
At this time, Wen Qingqing was holding a long sword in his hand. The scabbard was simple and looked extraordinary.
This is Sun Zhongjun's sword.
Yuan Chengzhi was dissatisfied with Sun Zhongjun's brutal attack on Luo Liru's arm, so he deliberately taught him a lesson and quietly took the opponent's weapon.
When Wen Qingqing whispered questions in Yuan Chengzhi's ear, Sun Zhongjun found that his weapons suddenly disappeared, and he and Wan Lifeng quickly retreated.
in the original timeline.
It was also Yuan Chengzhi who took away Sun Zhongjun's sword and scared Sun Zhongjun and Wan Lifeng away.
At this time, Jiao Gongli was talking to many of his disciples about the causes and consequences of his killing of Min Ziye, but he failed to let them know that Min Ziye was greedy for beauty and colluded with bandits to kill innocent people.
Although Sun Zhongjun acted domineeringly, he was from the Huashan sect, and the Diancang sect where Wan Lifeng belonged was also a famous sect in the world. They paid attention to face and loyalty.
Even if the two of them know the cause and effect, it is unrealistic to expect them to leave Jinling.
But at least when Jiao Gongli invited Min Zihua and others, he would no longer be so arrogant, lest he be unreasonable and affect the reputation of the sect.
However, after Yuan Chengzhi intervened, the possibility of the two parties peacefully resolving their grievances was stopped.
In addition, Yuan Chengzhi also handed Sun Zhongjun's sword to Jiao Waner, hoping that Sun Zhongjun would appreciate his mercy and be grateful, so that he could help mediate the grievances between the two parties.
