Two fast horses, Chen Zi'ang and Zhou Mei'er, traveled day and night, heading south to Xiangzhou and galloping towards Dongting Lake. Zhou Mei'er asked, "Aren't we going to Yazhou? We should enter the Yangtze River and take a boat to the west, crossing the Three Gorges and entering the Bashu Basin."

Chen Ziang did not answer directly and said, "Do you still remember the time we met lake bandits in Dongting Lake?" Zhou Meier smiled and said, "Those lake bandits? They are green forest people from Li Chang's private fund, not real thieves."

"Really? Then you must go and see it." Chen Zi'ang was slightly surprised and murmured: "I just said it was so strange. I still can't solve the mystery of the time we were kidnapped by lake pirates."

Zhou Meier said: "The small island we boarded is not actually a small island, but is made up of hundreds of boats connected together. It is covered with soil and reeds are cultivated around it." Chen Ziang was surprised again. He did not expect that the small island was actually a small island.

It was an extremely huge boat. No wonder Jiao Huiqing said he would get seasick in prison.

Zhou Meier continued: "No one knows where it will be. It can be parked anywhere in Dongting Lake at any time. These people were arranged by Li Chang personally, and I don't know much about it." Chen Ziang said: "Then, we will not be able to find it.

Are those men in black there?"

Zhou Meier nodded, but then thought of something and said, "If you want to find those men in black, maybe you can go to Junshan Island for a walk." "Oh?" Chen Ziang remembered that when he passed Junshan Island, Zhou Meier stopped Jiao Huiqing from visiting the island.

It turns out that there are also men in black on the island.

The two rode horses all the way to the military parade platform by Dongting Lake, and asked a fisherman to take them across the lake to Junshan Island. It probably hadn't snowed for several days, and the decaying bamboo leaves on the island were falling everywhere, a thick layer that was trampled away.

It's soft and comfortable. There aren't many homes there. The few huts on the shore seem to have been abandoned for many years. The original fishermen moved away for some unknown reason?

They didn't expect the island to be so desolate, so they couldn't help but look around. Only dead bamboo rustled in the wind. Walking towards the center of the island, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the bamboo forest and disappeared.

Chen Zi'ang was secretly happy. Sure enough, there was a man in black on the island. He was the lake pirate who kidnapped them last time by Dongting Lake. He walked over quietly and found another bamboo forest, Moso bamboo forest, very tall.

There is a large clay courtyard wall in the moso bamboo forest, and there are faint sounds of fists, kicks and shouts of martial arts practitioners. Looking closer to the courtyard wall, several men in black are fighting with each other with bare hands. Their skills are not bad. They can't deal with ordinary people in the arena.

question.

Chen Ziang suddenly heard a slight sound behind him, turned around and saw a black shadow disappearing behind the bamboo forest. He pulled Zhou Meier and chased there, but there was only a clump of dead bamboo!

"Someone is following." Chen Ziang lowered his voice. The man in black was not escaping towards the yard. Could it be that the man in black who was following him was the same as the ones in the yard?

Seeing that it was getting dark, the two of them found a quiet place and ate some pancakes. When it got dark, they went into the yard again. Chen Ziang asked Zhou Meier to look out outside and jumped into the yard. The group of men in black surrounded them.

Hold a horse lantern and drink heartily.

Chen Ziang picked up the pebbles and punched them in from the window. After hearing a few howls, several people in black were hit on their acupuncture points and stayed in front of the table. However, he heard another dull shout from the room: "What's wrong! I'm drinking too."

If it doesn’t taste good, what do you call it?”

In the corner of the room, a floor unexpectedly opened! Another man in black crawled out. When he saw his friend at the table, he knew something was wrong, so he turned around and wanted to jump out of the back window. Chen Zi raised his hand and hit him again, hitting him with a stone.

knock down.

In addition to a few beds, there were also some weapons in the house. Chen Ziang lifted up the floor and jumped in. Inside was a hole more than ten feet square with a bed, which was empty. He walked over and took a closer look. The traces on the ground showed that it was originally placed there.

Lots of boxes.

These boxes were so heavy that they left traces on the ground. Where did the boxes go? What was in the boxes? He jumped back to the room above, but before he could take a closer look, he heard a very slight cry from outside the yard: "Ah

!" He stopped midway through.

Chen Ziang was startled and jumped out of the courtyard wall. He saw a dark figure hugging a person on the ground under the moonlight! He shouted in a low voice: "Who! Don't run!" and rushed towards him. The dark figure looked up and hesitated for a moment before dropping the ball in his hand.

Man, run away alone.

The person on the ground was Zhou Mei'er. Chen Zi'ang opened her acupuncture points, and Zhou Mei'er said anxiously: "That person is extremely skilled in martial arts." Chen Zi'ang said "Oh" and said, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Meier nodded and said: "His martial arts skills are no less than yours, big brother." Chen Ziang woke up again. Since his martial arts skills are so high, why are he afraid of seeing Chen Ziang? He must have a secret and doesn't want others to know his identity.

Chen Ziang estimated that he would not be able to catch up with the man in black, so he took Zhou Meier back to the courtyard. He grabbed the man in black who had emerged from the hole, opened his acupuncture points, and asked, "Who is your leader?"

The man in black was frightened by Chen Ziang's superb skills, his eyes were full of fear, and he said: "Yes...it's the master." Chen Ziang asked: "Which master?"

The man in black said with a sad face: "I don't know. I only know that the master is the boss of our Dongting Lake black army, but I have never seen him." Chen Ziang saw that he didn't seem to be hypocritical, and asked: "What are the many boxes down here?

?”

The man in black hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "It contains gold and silver jewelry." No wonder it is so heavy. Dozens of boxes are a huge treasure. Chen Ziang nodded and said: "Where have they been moved?"

The man in black said: "We made two batches a few months ago. One batch was said to be shipped to Sichuan, and the other batch was shipped north." "Oh?" Chen Zi'ang stared, and the man in black immediately said:

"One batch is said to be shipped to Yazhou, and the whereabouts of another small batch are unknown."

"Does that moving island on Dongting Lake belong to your group?" Chen Zi'ang asked. The man in black nodded and said, "Yes, in order not to be noticed by the government, most of the people in black were on that big boat.
