The meeting ended in a fruitless manner, but it was a result that it was not dark. The horse documents of the clan cavalry and the officers of each army flew out and did not mention them. At the same time, the huge fleet did not dare to stop at all. Instead, they tried to slowly turn into the water outlet while the afternoon sun was warm and without any icy ridges.

In fact, when we arrived here, the problem seemed very serious. The Chang Whale Gang, a local gang that mastered the boat business, had also heard about the turmoil ahead. Or they were first-hand news recipients and disseminators, but this time they were unwilling to send boatmen and thugs to help.

The reason is that I am afraid that the boatman and the pounder will suffer casualties and cannot explain it to the superiors and subordinates.

Obviously, I don’t want to wade into muddy waters.

"Is this what they don't do if they want to do it?"

The officials of the county who were worried a moment ago were furious and furious, but what they said unexpectedly made some sense.

"What a big business in Huanshuikou? They allowed them to take over the Changjing Gang for five or six years. Isn't they dare to go up at this time? Otherwise, why did the Zuo brothers have been forced to settle down from local areas and become rich all over the world in five or six years, and the Changjing Gang has also become a gang that is worth the most in the world?"

"Why is Zuo Caihou pretending to be a good person? If he really wants to be a good person, he will disperse his private affairs to the gang members!"

"No need to disperse his furniture. Just change to the leader who is willing to take a boatman. The vast Li City, seeing that there are fewer heroes in the Zuo brothers?"

"Peak horse went to Pengcheng County Yamen to find Heishou Zuo Caixiang and told him that the 'Yintian Sword' Miss Bai is on the boat now. He still cares whether his elder brother is so arbitrary! I really think that relying on his second brother's ability can dominate the world? Will Zuo Cai be able to bear Miss Bai's sword?!"

"It's okay to say something else. With the 'Sword of Heaven' on the ship, what casualties are he worried about? Which thief dares to come and touch the fleet?!"

After saying a few words, the deputy lord scolded the general at the helm leader among the group of giant whale gangs. The lord leader could only bow his head and agree, and no one dared to be a hero.

Zhang Xing saw it clearly on the boat and became increasingly convinced that one of the points he had previously reasoned was that these gangs in the world are themselves a social interest structure, and interests attract practitioners with ordinary needs, and then they found gangs, rather than the gang itself attracting practitioners.

However, the practitioner's voice and strong sense of existence make it difficult for gangs to be universally developed in another world, and it has a stronger sense of existence in this world, and it is more common and can be more officially approved.

In sharp contrast, it should be that the sects are obviously attached to the real existence of the theocracy, and because of the high ideological unity of the theocracy and the regime, they naturally have government affinity.

Not to mention how Zhang Xing watched coldly on the river, and then thought about his own political papers, he only said that the boat was on the bustling dock on the shore. After a quarrel, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, Zuo Caihou Zuo, finally couldn't resist the pressure and appeared on the shore...

This is a man of about 37 or 80 years old. He looks plain and dresses in a simple manner. He just wraps a blue headscarf on his head, and his weapons are not visible at all. On the contrary, there are more than a dozen strong men behind him. They are all gorgeously dressed and have weird writings, and their weapons are also excellent. It is even a bit exaggerated. Some people carry three swords, some people carry two swords, and some people carry two swords with a long and short sword, and some people carry a big long sword. This is okay, the key is that there are many golden rings on the back of the sword.

It's a world of spirit.

Think about it, the Huaihe River is a place where the north and south are divided, the Central Plains and the East and Huainan and even the East Yi. This kind of freight provides such a favorable market. In addition, the East to the northeast is the former land of Dongqi, so many officials and powerful families cannot enter the officialdom, but it is enough to raise countless heroes.

When the man arrived, he bowed to several scheming officials and his attitude was humble. However, although the latter was angry, he saw that the visitor and many experts from the world were obviously no longer as arrogant as before, and then he only looked on the boat. But not to mention Zhang Xing, no one in the entire Jinyi cavalry patrol team wanted to get involved in this matter. Hei Shou Hu Yan even got into the boat directly.

To put it bluntly, the delay is likely to be a problem of the head and hat for the special scheming officials, because they were doing this, but it is not necessarily very serious for the Jinyi patrolmen who came to escort this batch of grain, because they thought it was given by Taitung and was given escort grain, but they did not mention the date. The key is to look at what Cao Zhongcheng said in Taichung. No matter how excessive Cao Zhongcheng said, it is impossible to really take the entire patrol team's head for this matter.

In addition, I went to Jiangdu for a hard time. After working hard for a month or two, everyone has loaded half a boat, and they can't help but have a mentality of not getting stuck in mud.

And because of this, since the meeting at noon, the Jinyi patrol team looked cold and watched. Zhang Xing's cold attitude was not because of his own coldness, but because he was speaking on behalf of the patrol team.

In this way, seeing the Jinyi Patrol Team unwilling to get involved, after some involvement, a group of people could only go to a little farther away from the dock to discuss, and even local officials participated in it. I didn't know what they had to talk about, but after a moment, the stakeholders still brought the gang of leaders over.

"This left gang mainly meets us in person to inspect us?"

On the pedal on the shore, Qin Bao frowned slightly, then looked at Zhang Xing on the other end of the pedal.

"Why should I meet the inspector?" Zhang Xing smiled and stared at several scheming officials.

"Zhang Baishou." One of the leaders of several stakeholders quickly bowed on the shore. "Zhang Baishou must do something convenient... Today's matter is mainly because there are thieves in the front, and the Chang Whale Gang is worried that the boatman will encounter chaos and cannot be comprehensive, but they don't know that Zhang Baishou and you are with you... And if you see inspector Bai also in the team, you will naturally feel relieved... After all, who can be the inspector Bai's sword under the master?"

Below the master, there are not a hundred or eighty people who can be the old lady with one sword... Zhang Xing complained in his heart, and he also smiled jokingly on his face, but he nodded and signaled that Qin Bao had to make way out... It is not sticky to mud, but he has worked hard for himself, so how many people are there, can he still stop him?

Immediately, several scheming officials brought Zuo Caihou, the leader of the Changwhale Gang, and a person dressed in a Taoist manner.

生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生

"Gangmaster Left, go in by yourself. The one who is looking here on the top of the boat is here." After the boat arrived, Zhang Xingfu called the leader of the Long Whale Gang again, bowed slightly, and spoke politely, but he no longer had the coldness of those scheming officials before. "But please stay with the guards."

"I've seen this Zhang Baishou."

Zuo Caihou was not panicked, but replied seriously. "This is not my guard, but a hero who had just come over from Huan Water. He brought him here to ask him to tell him about the upstream situation in person."

Zhang Xing suddenly realized, but shook his head again: "It's okay, just ask this hero to tell me. The left gang leader will go to the inspection to my house, it will be fine."

Zuo Caihou was stunned for a moment, but the scheming officer next to him became impatient and quickly introduced: "Why is Boss Zuo so ignorant? There is no mediocre under Inspection Bai? The second brother Qin below was the third hundredth thunderbolt on the list of people, and this is Zhang Sanlang, who is even more famous in the world... He is ranked by the world and manly list, and he has always been both civil and military. When he went south to Jiangdong, he became a friend of the eight masters of Liu Yunhe of the Eight Great Masters... And the fairy-like figure of Inspection Bai, who is usually the affairs of the inspection team, is handled by Zhang Sanlang and a Hei Shou! Have you never told you about your third brother?"

Not to mention the stakeholder bragging about it, Zhang Xing could see clearly. When this guy mentioned his nickname, the giant whale gang had already awakened... I don’t know where he heard the reputation?

"It turns out that it is Zhang Sanlang from Haoyi Mandong Capital." Zuo Caihou bowed repeatedly, his attitude even more impeccable. "I am on the Huai River and Huanshui. I have heard a lot about Zhang Sanlang and Gao Yi. I often rescue the victims in Taichung, Jing'an. I really didn't expect... I didn't expect to meet on the riverside today!"

Zhang Xing suddenly realized that he had saved those Zi Haokes and had some no names. He thought more, but he did not delay laughing: "You are trying to say that it sounds like a big name, but I didn't expect it to be just a Bai Shou?"

Zuo Caihou laughed awkwardly and was honest.

"Let's leader go, go." Zhang Xing urged sideways. "Don't delay the fleet's itinerary, this hero is also at ease to stay with me."

Boss Zuo bowed, nodded slightly to the man dressed in the Taoist, and then rushed to the boat.

Zhang Xing also acted politely, and invited the Taoist to get off the boat and go to the shore to sit... The two of them, along with Qin Bao and Zhou Xingfan, passed a group of officials and wealthy tourists in the world, sat down in a teahouse at the ferry, and then greeted him.

"You are a local, and your surname is Zuo?" Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment.

"It's not Zuo from the Zuo Gang leader's family, but it happens to be the same village and the same surname." The Taoist smiled bitterly when he heard this. It was obvious that he had experienced too much similar questions.

"Speaking of this, what is the origin of the Zuo Gang Leader's family?" Zhang Xing continued to ask randomly.

"This kind of thing can be found that any one of us, Xia Pi and even the southern section of Xuzhou, can answer it." The Taoist responded seriously. "When the Zuo Gang leader was a local hero in our Pengcheng County, when his father and grandfather, he was a local hero in our Pengcheng County. In their generation, all three brothers could make a fortune, so he became more decent... The Zuo Gang leader was the eldest, called Zuo Caihou; the second was called Zuo Caixiang, a master of elixir, nicknamed Ziwu Jian, and he was used to wandering around and was not in charge of things. The third was Heishou, a local resident of Pengcheng County, called Zuo Caixiang."

"The name is quite interesting." Zhang Xing smiled. "What about you?"

"Me?" Taoist was surprised for a moment.

"Yes." Zhang Xing answered seriously. "What is your name? What is your origin? What is your cultivation?"

This question was too direct, and Zhou Xingfan couldn't help but look at Zhang Xing. It was Qin Bao who seemed to have never heard of it, just drank tea.

"I... I call Zuo An, who is the same hometown, village and surname as the leader of the Zuo Gang, but he doesn't have such a good life." The Taoist smiled bitterly. "When my family was ruined when I was a child, I happened to be in the Qingdi Temple, so I sent me to the Temple to feed me. The Temple was named Zuoyou. I opened my Meng and built a foundation. When I was a teenager, I sent it to the Temple on the other side of the East China Sea. Now I have barely opened my veins of the Eight Meridians, so I can't bear it and want to go home to show my glory. But when I returned home in the middle of this year, my home was gone in the chaos of Yang Shen, so I wandered around here for half a year..."

"Brother Zuo is sad." Zhang Xing bowed slightly and continued to ask. "Why would you ask Brother Zuo what is your request this time?"

“Request?”

"No," Zhang Xing answered it seriously. "I see you brought the news and came to see my inspection with the left gang leader... Is it so dizzy that I wanted to join the villagers to be safe, or to find a place to advance and have a future? These are all human nature. If you have any ideas, just say it directly, we must be willing to help."

"I..." The man was nervous for a moment and laughed dryly again. "I didn't think too much, but came over from Huanshui and spoke to my fellow villagers."

Zhang Xing suddenly realized and nodded: "It turns out that Brother Zuo is a good person... How dare you ask what the hell is going on in the Huan Water?"

"There are several troubles. It's okay that the Giant Whale Gang is at the bottom of Xiapi County and Pengcheng County, but the upper reaches of Pengcheng County are very chaotic. Many bandits rely on the shallow water in winter to set up checkpoints for money and food. As for the big troubles, there are mainly several big villages in Qiao County, Dangshan, Jishan, and Yutou Mountain. They have joined forces to control the half-district water section of the upper reaches of Qiao County, which is extremely powerful." Zuoyou said earnestly.

Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly: "I know, as soon as the village comes out, I don't say anything else, food is a saying. Now it's winter again. Even if I know it's a death, I have to try it... I understand what you mean, who asked us to transport food?"

Zuo You nodded repeatedly and couldn't wait.

But this time, Zhou Xingfan did not dare to say anything again, but Qin Bao glanced at Zhang Xing.

At this point, he said a few more words of customs and customs. Seeing the left gang leader coming down from the boat carefully, Zhang Xing stopped and turned to meet him. The other three people naturally followed quickly.

"Left Gang Master."

Zhang Xingyao bowed. "What did you tell my inspector?"

"It's just a meeting. When I saw that it was the 'Yintian Sword' who was close, I felt relieved and set off the ship immediately, trying to send the brothers from the seven southeastern counties into Huanshui before tomorrow." Zuo Caihou Yaoyao responded with a smile.

"That's good." Zhang Xing also laughed. "We are talking very carefully... It's a pity that this brother Zuo You is so righteous and does not seek rewards. It really makes me ashamed."

"Don't worry, Zhang Sanlang." Zuo Caihou said as he walked down and said with a smile. "This is what I said, and I will naturally have some thanks."

"That's just Boss Zuo." Zhang Xing shook his head, but turned around on the dock to look at Qin Bao and Zhou Xingfan. "Qin Erlang, go to the boat to pick up a good horse and a good knife; Xiao Zhou, go to the official boat behind to get twenty taels of silver... and give it to this Zuo Yishi."

When the two of them heard this, they didn't care about anything. They went directly to the boat. The officials, heroes, gang members and wise men on the docks around had already started to make noise. Their genre seemed to be asking Boss Zuo to come and give the reward for reporting the news, but they did not expect that it was a generous advantage.

It's really a hair on the waist, and it's thicker than the thighs of ordinary people.

Zuo You was stunned for a moment and wanted to refuse.

Seeing this, Zhang Xing looked back and stopped: "Brother Zuo must not refuse. You are of course very righteous, but have you never heard of the story of a gentleman in the ancient Eastern Kingdom of the ancient country in ancient times?"

As he said that, Zhang Xing talked about the 'allus' of redeeming people by himself, and then he bit Zuoyou: "I can accept it with confidence. This move is to reward you for your righteous actions, not for your people. Don't say that you are from the village of Zuo Boss and your own brother. Even if you are a spy from Dongyi, you will not delay your message and reward you. Otherwise, if you have any trouble in the future, who will tell us?"

By this time, Qin Bao and Zhou Xingfan had already come down, and they each gave the thank-you gifts, and Zhang Xing just bowed and got on the boat with them.

On the other side, with a sound of tsk, with Boss Zuo waved his hand, the huge fleet finally slowly began to turn into the mouth of Huanshui River.

Let’s talk about it, the Jinyi Cavs will not receive Taichung’s reply for a while, but they can only do it, especially when they are about to move into a narrow inland river and may encounter bandits, so they hold a small meeting... It is said that it is a meeting, but it is just a brief revelation. After summarizing all the information, it is decided that Bai Yousi’s fleet is in the middle, Hu Yan’s fleet is in the tail, Li Qingchen is in the bow, Qian Tang and Zhang Xing each lead seven or eight cavalry to cover the left and right wings on the land.

Among them, Zhang Xing was ordered to cover the right wing, that is, the east bank of Huanshui, Qin Bao and Zhou Xingfan were all among them.

That night, before the second half of the fleet entered Huanshui, Zhang Xing and Qian Tang had led their teams to leave Xucheng Wharf and entered the wilderness with the first half of the fleet.

At this moment, the young Master Zhou finally stopped holding back.

"Brother Zhang San."

By the bonfire, Zhou Xingfan, who had just gone to the boat to get food, was fucking the food while lowering his voice and asking seriously. "Is there something wrong with Zuoyou?"

"It's almost the same." Zhang Xing, who spread out the paper and was fiddling with charcoal pen, calmly responded. "A master of the eight-stage special meridian stage, although he is only the lowest level master, he is also a master. He is too well-behaved when facing us. In addition, his origin is not clear. He said he was a fellow villager of Boss Zuo, but his family was gone in the war and there was no evidence of death. More importantly, our fleet had just arrived and he came from upstream. I said there was food in the ship, and the thieves also had to fight for food. He seemed to have known it for a long time... he was not surprised at all."

"It turns out that the third brother has known for a long time that he said that the food was deliberately tested." Zhou Xingfan breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Qin Bao, who had not said anything. "Brother Qin has seen it long ago?"

Qin Bao smiled honestly, without saying a word, but just helped the other party start boiling water and hot rice.

Zhang Xing just nodded perfunctorily and began to try to paint on paper.

Seeing this, Master Zhou became more relaxed, so he couldn't help but add firewood to the fire and continued to say: "That's it, we are actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside. How to resist the thief, Brother Zhang San, Inspection Officer Bai, Brother Hu and Brother Qin, should have planned it long ago?"

Zhang Xing finally looked at Zhou Xingfan with a strange look on his face, which made the other person feel scared.

And this was, Qin Bao seemed a little helpless, and also lowered his voice and asked, "San Brother, do you really care?"
To be continued...
