Mei Changsu looked at the looming He Ling in the river and said in a deep voice: "Chen Kun will be responsible for the defense in Shezhou City. The old troops in Shezhou City will temporarily transfer Jin Shuang's command to control the Fenjiang River. You lead the ANBU and obey Lin Chen's orders!"

"Sect Master, this...!" Zhen Ping looked embarrassed and said awkwardly, "He...!"

"Lin Chen joined the Jiangzuo League for fun. He helps me as a close friend. How can I use my status as a sect leader to suppress him?" Mei Changsu smiled calmly and said, "But now I still need to rely on his adaptability.

To judge the situation of the secret talks between Shu Zhongtian and me in Heling."

"It's the sect leader!"

Leader Shu, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. How are you?

Two days later, Shu Zhongtian arrived as scheduled, standing on the bow of the ship with a livid face and hands behind his back. The large ship he hired sailed near Heling, and a melodious flute sound came in the wind.

"Ah, this is the flute sound of the leader of the Jiangzuo clan!" The boss of the ship hurried to the bow of the ship, listened carefully, and then his face changed greatly, and he looked at Shu Zhongtian in fear, "Pass the golden order. Leader Shu, you... you

Could it be that he came to Jiangzuo to seek revenge?"

"Passing a golden order? Never heard of it! Seeking revenge? You're right, I'm just here to seek revenge!" Shu Zhongtian said with murderous intent, "It's impossible for a mere leader of the Jiangzuo League to want me to disarm!"

"Shu, Shu Gang Leader!" the boat boss called out twice urgently, pointed to the river and said, "Sect Master Mei is here!"

"Huh?" Shu Zhongtian followed the sound of the flute and looked towards the river. A small boat seemed to be coming on the wind, but it didn't seem to be the case.

The small boat carried a young man dressed in white, who was blowing a small jade flute in the afterglow of the setting sun and slowly sailed towards the big ship.

"Isn't there a headwind now? How can this boat move?" Shu Zhongtian pointed to the boat heading towards him and asked in surprise, "Is this also a boat built by the Gongsun family?"

"No, this is a small boat that the sect master invited his friends to design together and asked a caretaker to make. It is said that there is a mechanism on the belly of the boat, which can control the movement of the boat according to the position of the people on the boat." The boss of the boat continued with a bit of reverence,

"Did Gang Leader Shu have any impressions of the heavy rain during last year's autumn harvest? At that time, the sect leader not only dispatched manpower to assist Minzhou and Zhou's autumn harvest, but also ordered Jiangzuo Yidai to suspend all sailings. He also arranged a residence for those of us who make boats our home, and provided hot dishes.

The meal served us for several days."

"Does he still care about this?" Shu Zhongtian raised his thick eyebrows.

"Who says it's not the case!" the ship's boss shouted with a smile. "After the storm, he even found people to help us repair the ship. At the request of the sect leader, the Ban family developed technology to strengthen the hull and control the sailing speed. I finished running

Gang Leader Shu, if you take this trip, you can use the money to ask the Ban family to improve and repair the boat for me, and maybe next time I can catch up with the Gongsun family's big boat!"

"Is the Banjia you are talking about the famous craftsman Banjia in the world? The Banjia who is famous all over the world for setting up all kinds of exquisite weapons?" Shu Zhongtian couldn't help but ask, "Aren't they weapons makers? When did they start making ships?

coming?"

"Guo Shan has met the sect leader!" The boat boss on the side saw the boat approaching. He did not reply to Shu Zhongtian's words, but stepped forward and bowed and said, "Guo Shan knows the rules, so we will stop sailing now!"

"You!" Shu Zhongtian said angrily, "What do you mean, without you I can't get to the bank of Jiangzuo?"

The chilling flute sound suddenly stopped. Mei Changsu on the small boat put away the jade flute, hugged his fists towards Shu Zhongtian on the big boat, and said loudly in a clear voice, "Shu Gang Leader, run from the north.

It has been a hard journey to Jiangzuo, and Mei should have treated her well, but fights are not allowed in Jiangzuo, and sect disputes have occurred. If Gang Leader Shu came to Jiangzuo to seek revenge and cause trouble due to personal grudges, Gang Leader Shu should be asked to find another place...

…!”

"What? It's just you?" Shu Zhongtian snorted, jumped up to the bow of the ship, put his feet on the deck of the ship, and said disdainfully, "I didn't expect that Jiangzuo Sect Master would be a helpless person.

This really shows Shu that he is a weak and weak scholar!"

Although Shu Zhongtian's words were sharp, his face did not show disdain or contempt. The young man on the boat was not yet weak, and his white clothes were fluttering due to the breeze, and his thin body was also affected.

The handsome look of the clear moon.

After the boss of the ship said the word "stop sailing", his personal followers immediately notified the helmsman, who immediately dropped anchor and stopped the ship. The other two large ships following the main ship also dropped their anchors because the main ship broke down and stopped the ship.

A series of actions, orderly, as if they have been mastered for a long time.

Being able to train everyone in the alliance to be like this with a weak body must not be underestimated. Shu Zhongtian thought to himself, and with a wave of his hand, he waved away the two deputies who jumped from the other two large ships to the main ship to check the situation due to the suspension of sailing.

"Gang Leader Shu!" Mei Changsu said with a faint smile, "Since we have arrived at the bottom of Jiangzuo, why don't you give Mei a good deal and let Mei mediate the grievances between Gang Leader Shu and the Gongsun family!"

"Okay!" Shu Zhongtian smiled heartily and said, "It is also necessary to make friends while traveling in the world. I can let the other people in the Gongsun family go, but the gangster who cut down my boxwood and his men,

I will never be lenient!"

"Master Shu is such a cheerful person!" Mei Changsu said, clasping his fists, "Heling in Shezhou is also one of the famous mountains in Daliang. Why not go to the top of Heling Mountain with Mei and have a few drinks together?"

"Invite me to Heling?" The boat boss had already introduced the mountain not far away when he first saw it. However, according to the boat boss, now is not the best season for mountain viewing, and it is getting late.

…

"Are it just you and me?" Unknowingly, there were many more boats, large and small, on the river, and his three big boats were already threatening to be surrounded.

But it's just momentum.

These vessels, which could not be identified as fishing boats or passenger ships, all anchored and stopped sailing after maintaining a certain distance from his big ship.

"The teahouse at the foot of Heling Mountain is full of fine wines and delicacies. For example, if the leader of the Shu Gang gave Mei some thin noodles, why not go with Mei to the top of the Heling Mountain for a moonlit drink, and let the brothers from the Qiaolong Gang have a drink at the foot of the Heling Mountain to relieve their fatigue."

"Okay!" Shu Zhongtian thought for a moment and then chuckled, "When we get to Jiangzuo, it would seem that I, Shu, are being arrogant if I don't spread the word to Jiangzuo's clan leader. However, Shu always wants to settle his brothers.

I also asked Sect Leader Mei to give Shu some time so that Shu can attend the appointment on time at Youshi today.

"Okay, today Mei is waiting at the foot of Heling Mountain for the leader of the Shu Gang!" After Mei Chang Su Qian gave a salute, he gently shook his sleeves, turned around and changed his stance. Ye Xiaozhou did exactly what the boss of the boat said,

Immediately changed from stillness to drifting, and drove slowly towards Heling!"

"...He is also a capable person!" Shu Zhongtian said to himself, but then sneered a few times and said, "But you can't make me give in just because of this!"

"Gang leader, do you really plan to go to the top of Heling Mountain with him alone? What if he cheats! As far as I know, Jiangzuo Sect Leader has been in power for less than a year, and no one knows his true identity!"

"Our sect master is not this kind of person!" the ship boss who heard this shouted dissatisfiedly, "Although he is not good at martial arts, he values ​​justice in the world the most!

Shu Zhongtian looked at He Ling looming on the river and sneered, "He said he went to He Ling alone with me because he knew that with my temperament, I would never attack someone who didn't know how to fight. Huh, but he didn't persuade me.

Before I stop, I will definitely uphold the morality of the world and will not do anything secretly! However, it is not that easy for him to persuade me to stop and let the Gongsun family go."

Looking around, the boat had reached the small island in the river where He Ling was located. People on the shore helped him off the boat and hugged him to the shore.

To be able to sit on the throne of Jiangzuo clan leader at a young age and to be able to make those below him obey his orders is worthy of my courtesy.

Looking around the river, I saw that the small boats that had been surrounding them had quietly dispersed at some point. Only two or three small fishing boats were moored on the endless river.

The red sun was setting in the west, and someone on the small fishing boat seemed to have cast a net.

What a beautiful Jiangzuo scenery, Shu Zhongtian thought to himself.

At the time of Unity, Shu Zhongtian led ten disciples of the Qiaolong Gang to the island where He Ling was located, while Mei Changsu and others from Jiangzuo Alliance, Zhen Ping, were waiting on the shore. After leading Shu Zhongtian ashore, Mei Changsu

After Su Xianxian made some arrangements for the people Shu Zhongtian brought, he went up to the top of Heling Mountain with him.

Shu Zhongtian didn't say a word along the way, but Mei Changsu talked about the wonders of He Ling. It was already dusk, no matter how wonderful Mei Changsu said, Shu Zhongtian couldn't appreciate He Ling.

The beautiful scenery along Lingshan Road. He was holding back his anger, but he could only endure it because he thought of more important things.

As if aware of Shu Zhongtian's displeasure, when approaching the pavilion at the top of Heling Mountain, Mei Changsu took out his piccolo from his sleeves and started playing it slowly. It was in harmony with the golden order that Shu Zhongtian heard just now.

The sound of the flute is different, and this piece of music creates a completely different scene when paired with the gurgling stream flowing by.

"Master Shu, please!" Mei Changsu introduced Shu Zhongtian into the mountain pavilion, and Mei Changsu smiled slightly, "I'm tired from climbing, so let me make a pot of tea for Master Shu to relieve his fatigue!"

After finishing speaking, he put the piccolo into his sleeves, sat down casually, burned incense, and lit the fire on the tea stove, then left Shu Zhongtian and took a pot of water from the stream within the sight of Shu Zhongtian.

"The mountain spring is sweet and is one of the best water for making tea!" After putting the copper pot on the tea stove, Mei Changsu said with a smile, picked up a feather fan and pointed it at the mouth of the stove, fanning it repeatedly.

"Sect Master Mei, I've given you the respect you deserve, but it's not that easy for you to let me let go of the Gongsun family." Shu Zhongtian couldn't help but watch Mei Changsu busy making tea without saying a word.

Open your mouth and say.

"In Mei's eyes, all those who come from all over the world are friends and guests." Mei Changsu said with a smile, "It's just that the Gongsun family arrived at Jiangzuo first. Please ask Jiangzuo to protect the whole family. The Jiangzuo Alliance upholds the morality of the Jianghu and will protect them."

I will protect you first, and please be responsible for this, Leader Shu.

"As the leader of the Qiaolong Gang, I am not a thoughtless person, but the things they committed are not trivial...!"

"They now live in No. D, South 2nd Street, Southwest Alley, Shezhou...!" Mei Changsu took the copper pot from the stove and said smoothly.

"Huh?" In Shu Zhongtian's astonishment, Mei Changsu used the boiling water from the copper pot to scald the white glazed teapot and teacups on the desk one by one, then poured some tea leaves into the white glazed porcelain pot, and then scalded them with boiling water.

After going through it once, I poured tea into the cup using the "Phoenix Three Nods" brewing method.

"Do you all drink tea like this?" The method of making tea in one go seemed complicated and redundant in Shu Zhongtian's eyes, and his tone was very disdainful, but he still took the hot tea from Mei Changsu.

: There once was a young man who made a pot of tea for him using the same technique.

"The techniques for making tea are more or less similar!" Mei Changsu lowered his head, his heavy eyelashes covering the sadness in his eyes. After pouring himself a cup of tea, he said softly, "After chatting with me, Gang Leader Shu

, if you still want to relieve your anger, you can lead your people to take away the Gongsun family!"

"Hmph! You don't have to waste your breath! Gongsun Yu ignored the warnings of the people who watched the forest for me first, and spoke rudely later. I can't swallow this tone!"

"There are rumors in the world that Gongsun Yu cut down a few trees belonging to Gang Leader Shu, which caused Gang Leader Shu to hunt down Gongsun's clan. Alas...!" Mei Chang Su Youyou sighed and said, "Everyone knows that Gang Leader Shu is a small family, but how many of them are there?

Everyone knows that boxwood growing in the north is a rare and valuable wood, and boxwood is a tree comparable to small-leaf rosewood."

"Does Master Mei know about boxwood?" Boxwood is rare and difficult to obtain, but unlike small-leaf red sandalwood, boxwood is more commonly used to make bonsai, so fewer people know about it, and very few people like it.

There were a lot of rumors in the world, but he didn't bother to explain, firstly because he didn't need it, and secondly because he was afraid of attracting more young people who would peep at Huang Yang.

"You know, boxwood grows very slowly. It is quite difficult to grow into a tree, but it is very difficult to form a forest!" Mei Changsu said with great agreement, "Not to mention boxwood that is two hundred years old, it is also very difficult for other trees."

"What two hundred years? It's two hundred and thirty-five years. I think Daliang only has two hundred and ten years of founding history!" Taking the newly filled tea cup, Shu Zhongtian raised his head and took a sip, and said dissatisfiedly, "

Continued Cup!"

Mei Changsu smiled, picked up the copper kettle and was about to get up to get water from the stream, but was pulled by Shu Zhongtian: "Let me go!" Seeing Mei Changsu's hand holding the kettle shaking slightly, Shu Zhongtian said
To be continued...
