Liu Mang and others looked at each other in confusion.
The scribe's companion hurriedly pulled him away and apologized repeatedly to Liu Mang's table, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, my friend drank too much!"
After this little episode, everyone continued to crowd at the same table, drinking, eating and bragging.
Early on the next morning, Nie Xuan arranged a large boat for Liu Mang and Yang Zhe to take the two of them away from Quancheng.
The middle-aged man in charge of affairs on the ship came over to greet Liu Mang and said, "Young Master Liu, I am Li Gui, the manager of the Sea Whale Gang. If you have any requests along the way, please tell me."
The Sea Whale Gang is a gang affiliated with the Hunyuan Sect, and this time they happen to be transporting a batch of goods to Yuncheng.
And Jiangcheng is right next to Yuncheng, so it would be a good idea to take Liu Mang along with him.
The ship departed from Quancheng and passed all the way north through Liangcheng and Jingcheng. When it was about to arrive at the Wucheng area, something suddenly happened in front of it.
Two ships that were obviously affiliated with the government army, with many soldiers standing on each ship, surrounded a fishing boat that was not much different in size from theirs.
"You still dare to escape? It's your blessing that the city lord has confiscated your ship. Take both people and the ship back to me!"
"Sir, this is the guy who feeds our family, you can't confiscate it!" an old man and a girl begged.
Snapped!
The soldier knocked the old man down with a whip and walked towards the wheat-skinned girl with a grin.
boom!
A figure fell from the sky, causing the five-foot-long boat to sink by more than a foot.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the Lord's affairs!" When several soldiers saw the tall figure descending, they hesitated and did not dare to rush forward.
"Liu Mang."
"What, the Nine-Life Crazy Tiger!" The soldiers were all shocked.
The leader apologized repeatedly and said, "Since he is someone known to Lord Nine Lives Crazy Tiger, let's pretend we have never met him and leave!"
Several people hurriedly got on the boat and left, as if Liu Mang was a savage beast.
The girl next to him stared blankly at Liu Mang, "Master Zhang Banner turns out to be the legendary Nine-Life Crazy Tiger."
Liu Mang smiled bitterly and said, "They are the ones who gave me the nickname. Have you offended the palace of the Lord of Wucheng?"
"How dare we challenge the common people, but for some reason, the city lord's palace has been expropriating civilian ships these days." The wheat-skinned girl explained, and then said sadly, "You can escape the first day of the junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth day."
"My family has a good relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. I can just say hello to you when the time comes." Yang Zhe said at this time.
"This is my senior brother Yang Zhe, the young master of your Yang family in Wucheng." Liu Mang teased.
"Thank you, Master Yang!" the girl was overjoyed.
The Yang family is extremely powerful in Wucheng, and my family is really saved this time.
This girl was none other than the little fisherman Liu Mang had rescued before, and she was quite ambiguous with his subordinate Ban Yang.
"Didn't Ban Yang come to see you?" Liu Mang smiled.
"He is such a heartless person, I am going to Jiangcheng to find him!" the little fisherman said angrily.
Liu Mang said goodbye to the little fisherman, and the ship docked at Wucheng Pier.
After landing, Liu Mang followed Yang Zhe to the door of a luxurious mansion.
"The young master is back!" the concierge said happily.
Yang Zhe nodded silently and led Liu Mang directly into the Yang Mansion.
At this time, a majestic-looking man came out with a big smile, "It turns out that the Nine Lives Crazy Tiger is here!"
Liu Mang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, please don't belittle me."
Naturally, Liu Mang would not be as hostile to his senior brother's biological father as he was to other people.
What's more, the head of the Yang family, Yang Weicheng, has unfathomable martial arts skills.
Although Liu Mang ranked him in the second level among fifth-level masters, it was because the opponent did not use all his strength when he defeated Zhao Zheng, the leader of the Ji Fist Sect.
Yang Weicheng just glanced at Yang Zhe and ignored him, but he was extremely enthusiastic about Liu Mang. He held a big banquet in the house and entertained Liu Mang with wine and meat.
Liu Mang couldn't help but feel that it was a good thing he practiced martial arts, otherwise his body would collapse sooner or later if he drank like this all day long.
After finally declining Yang Weicheng's invitation to stay overnight, Liu Mang just wanted to go back to the dock after coming out of Yang's Mansion, but unexpectedly another familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Long time no see, Brother Liu!" A young fat man with fair skin grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Brother Yang!"
The person who appeared in front of Liu Mang was Yang Yi from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so Liu Mang thought to himself that a banquet would be inevitable.
Sure enough, Yang Yi took him directly to another restaurant.
The two of them sat together and chatted, watching the people passing by on the road below the restaurant.
"Brother Liu, the Skyfire battle shocked the world. When I told my other friends, they were all quite envious. They envied me having a friend like you."
"Brother Yang is joking. If people in this restaurant knew that I was sitting with the young master of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, everyone would probably envy me."
The two chatted for a while, and Liu Mang asked Yang Yi, "I just came from Quancheng and found that the situation in the world is getting chaotic. I can't see clearly what's going on in the situation. I wonder what Brother Yang can teach me?"
Naturally, Liu Mang highly recognized Yang Yi's power and vision.
Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "Brother Liu's wealth is all in Jiangcheng's Golden Tiger Gang. However, I heard that City Lord Ding is very ambitious and has been secretly recruiting soldiers. If the world is in chaos, he will surely support himself with troops."
And Brother Liu has an astonishing reputation now, so he needs to make plans early!"
Yang Yi's words can be said to be heart-to-heart talk. Liu Mang clasped his fists with a solemn expression, "Thank you, Brother Yang, for the tip!"
He naturally knew what Yang Yi meant.
As the saying goes, there is no room for snoring on the side of the bed. If City Lord Ding were to stand on his own one day, he would definitely not allow other powerful forces in his territory who did not share the same aspirations with him.
Sometimes fame is a weapon and sometimes it is poison. He must either leave Jiangcheng's sphere of influence as soon as possible, or he will have to make a choice when the time comes.
Yang Yi's advice was very important, and Liu Mang secretly kept his words in mind.
The two chatted for a long time. Yang Yi knew that Liu Mang was anxious to go home, so he personally escorted Liu Mang to the dock.
Liu Mang continued to get on the original boat, and the boat continued towards Jiangcheng.
When passing through Yuncheng, a fifteen-foot-long, fully armed ship was approaching. If nothing unexpected happened, the two sides would meet each other soon.
You can see from a distance that there are many majestic men holding swords standing on the boat, and a white flag with the surname "Wei" is planted on the bow.
Manager Li was shocked, "This is the Wei family in Yuncheng! Their family started by plundering on the water!"
Liu Mang learned from the steward that the Wei family's reputation in the seven southeastern cities was very poor.
Not only because of his shady background, but also because he was still ruthless in his actions after he was cleansed. Several ship disappearances were inseparable from his relationship.
Longjiang is so big that there are no other onlookers around.
In these troubled times, a famous family may turn into a man-eating wolf at any time!
To make matters worse, when the other party approached unkindly, Liu Mang suddenly hit the water with his palm, and a white water column shot up into the sky!
A middle-aged man in red standing on the bow of the Wei family boat asked in surprise, "Who are you?"
"Golden Tiger Gang Liu Mang!"
"Nine Lives Crazy Tiger?" The man in red was shocked and hurriedly ordered the ship to change direction, avoiding the ship Liu Mang was on.
Manager Li and many sailors on the ship couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then laughed and said, "The Nine-Life Crazy Tiger is so famous that no one in the southeast doesn't recognize you!"
They haven't reached that level yet. They only know that Liu Mang is strong but don't know to what extent he is. They are still uneasy when facing a long-established family.
But Liu Mang didn't expect that Liu Mang would scare away the Wei family in Yuncheng just by saying his name!
The far-reaching impact of the battle at the Skyfire Conference was far more astonishing than Liu Mang imagined!
Seeing the ship getting closer and closer to Jiangcheng, Liu Mang was excited, he was finally going home!
