The Golden Tiger Gang is known as the largest force in the outer city, but if it breaks the rules, it can only dominate the outer city.
It might not be able to offend any force that comes out of the inner city, let alone a behemoth like the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.
"It is rumored that Mr. Lin, the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, is nearly seventy years old. However, he is invulnerable through martial arts training and is one of the most important figures in the seven southeastern cities." Qi Quan is really an encyclopedia and constantly provides Liu Mang with popular science.
Liu Mang found that, apart from other things, coming to the Golden Tiger Gang at least broadened his horizons a lot. In Liujia Village, he had never had the opportunity to come into contact with this information.
"But they don't look like escorts this time?" Qi Quan was a little confused.
Liu Mang also discovered it.
Just now he saw a woman on the opposite boat, with her hair tied up and a sword in her hand. She looked a bit like the legendary heroine.
The Zhenyuan escort agency is on the big ship.
A young girl who was also wearing black clothes and pants with gold patterns and her hair tied in a bun. She looked about 28 years old, with red lips and white teeth and was quite beautiful. She was looking curiously at the B-shaped boat of the Golden Tiger Gang.
"Junior sister, what are you looking at?" A handsome man about twenty years old came over.
"Brother, which sect's ship is that? Why have I never seen the flag before?" The girl's voice was as clear as an oriole's.
"Sect? Are they worthy?" The man sneered, "It's just a low-level gang. Don't pay too much attention to the things in the stinking ditch."
"Oh." The girl's face showed some disapproval, but she still did not refute her senior brother.
Others on the boat were also talking.
"This time Liangcheng was breached, the impact was so bad that even the business of my escort agency was affected. But how can a mere black horse bandit have such ability?"
"I heard that people from the Huangtian Sect were involved."
"Hey, why did this gang of scourges come to our seven southeastern cities?"
"No matter what, our Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, as one of the few forces in the Seven Cities, must set an example at this time to avoid being gossiped about by our martial arts comrades." An old man who seemed to be the leader said seriously.
The other end.
The ship where the Golden Tiger Gang is located is getting closer and closer to Jiangcheng.
At this time, another black spot appeared in the distance.
A few dozen breaths later, a large ship appeared in everyone's sight. It was actually much larger than the ship at Zhenyuan Escort just now.
It is more than twenty feet long. There are dozens of long racket poles placed on both sides of the ship. The ship is surrounded by flags embroidered with the word 'T'. There is a conical metal spike the size of a millstone on the bow of the ship.
Rusty.
There are four floors on the ship. The first and second floors are obviously housing structures, and the third and fourth floors are similar to platforms, with people standing on them.
Everyone is wearing heavy armor, holding spears in their hands, and wearing silver helmets on their heads. Their whole bodies are wrapped in steel, shining like stars on the river.
"Quick, move to the side, these are the guards of the city lord's palace in the inner city!" Qi Quan ordered hurriedly.
Although the two sides were obviously not in a straight line and were unlikely to collide, the two ships of the Golden Tiger Gang still moved several dozen feet to the side.
The people in the City Lord's Mansion just glanced at them briefly, and then continued to cast their gaze forward, as if the Golden Tiger Gang was just an insignificant thing.
Liu Mang also felt shocked in his heart. Even though he was not close, he could still feel that the ship opposite was filled with an evil spirit, which was frightening.
Just by looking at the guards on the ship, you can feel how powerful they are, and they are definitely not comparable to those in the gang. After all, they are wearing heavy armor and have long guns in their hands. Without a certain amount of strength, they will never be able to move freely.
I can now fight a dozen gang members with a knife, so how many guards in the city lord's palace can I fight? Maybe even one of them can't break through the defense.
If I offend the City Lord's Mansion now, wouldn't I just have to wait for death?
Liu Mang looked a little unhappy and suddenly thought of this question.
"Why are the guards from the City Lord's Mansion even out?" someone on the boat asked.
"I think they are supporting Liangcheng. Otherwise, if the price of food continues to rise like this, everyone will be finished."
"There are only a few people here. I think there are at most a hundred people. I heard there are tens of thousands of black horse bandits."
"Don't you understand this? Rumor has it that every one of the guards at the City Lord's Mansion knows how to practice kung fu and is so powerful that he can defeat ten with his bare hands. With the protection of his body armor, one hundred people can be as strong as ten thousand soldiers!"
"Doesn't everyone who comes to our gang get to be a flag bearer?" A dull boy asked, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Then, like a chain reaction, ships kept coming from the direction of Jiangcheng, and the Golden Tiger Gang had to be careful to avoid each ship.
"This is the ship of the Fire Crane Sect. Have you seen the red flame mark? It is said that the fierce fire energy can fight against people and even roast them..."
"This is the ship of the Ice Soul Sect. The Ice Soul Qi is very famous in the world, but it is said that the Ice Soul Sect and the Fire Crane Sect are sworn enemies..."
"This is the ship of the Wanyue Chamber of Commerce. This chamber of commerce is a large local chamber of commerce in Jiangcheng. It competes with the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau..."
"This is the ship of the Ji Fist Sect. The Ji Fist Sect is the only sect in the inner city that focuses on practicing kung fu. It is said that our gang leader wanted to join the Ji Fist Sect when he was young, but failed..."
Qi Quan was like a scholar in the world, he spoke clearly and logically, and everyone listened with great interest.
"Where did you know so much?" Liu Mang asked.
"I used to be sent to work in the inner city. There was a teahouse there called Jiazhilou. The storyteller was named Old Man Gao. He knew astronomy from above and geography from below!"
"Then do you know whether the gang has internal or external skills?" Liu Mang asked Qi Quan in a deserted corner of the ship.
"Internal skills are so precious. They are all monopolized by the big sects and can never be spread to outsiders. As for external skills, I'm not sure about this. Maybe they can only know it if the hall master is in charge of the flag." Qi Quan's expression was a little subtle.
Liu Mang looked at Qi Quan and felt that this boy was a bit unusual. Liu Mang expressed doubts about the refugee background he mentioned.
In the evening, the Jinhu Gang's boat finally arrived at Jiangcheng Pier.
After arriving safely, everyone in the hall was given half a catty of pork as a bonus.
Qi Quan reported to Hall Master Mei alone what had happened in the past two days, while Liu Mang returned home early.
The neighbor Uncle Wang and his blind dog still didn't show up at the door, and Liu Mang was a little confused.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Son, there was no fight when we went out this time." Liu's mother didn't look well, so she came closer to see if there were any wounds on Liu Mang's body.
Liu Mang smiled and said: "We took a boat trip and didn't do anything. They even gave us pork."
"This is the silk cloth I brought back from Yuncheng. It can be used to make clothes for you."
"I'm going to be buried in the earth, so why do I need new clothes?"
"Mom, you must live a long life, no, one hundred and twenty years old."
Liu Mang glanced around and unexpectedly found the only tea set at home on the table, an old gray teapot and two knocked-out porcelain teacups.
