Chapter 397 The Shock of the Giant Ship

"Is Baozheng also here to participate in this hero meeting?"

Song Jiang asked while holding Chao Gai's hand.

"Of course, how could I miss such a grand event? I wanted to come a few days ago, but something happened on the mountain, so I dragged it until today."

Chao Gai said with a smile.

"I heard that Baozheng's Baihu Mountain is very prosperous when it comes here, what else can we do?"

Song Jiang asked strangely.

"This...it's nothing, just discuss with other hilltops about working together to fight against the Qingzhou government."

Chao Gai didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that he planned to annex all the hills in Qingzhou.

"So that's the case, with the reputation of Baozheng, it's not easy to deal with Qingzhou Mansion!"

Song Jiang smiled and congratulated Chao Gai. He knew a little about the situation in Qingzhou, and he could guess from Chao Gai's words just now.

"Brother Song Jiang has also entered the rivers and lakes now?"

Chao Gai looked at Song Jiang and asked, but Song Jiang was followed by many people from the rivers and lakes.

"Song Jiang was framed by traitors in Tokyo, and now he has entered the rivers and lakes. This time, he gathered a group of heroes and returned to Yuncheng. Isn't this just in time for Liang Shanbo to hold a hero conference?"

Song Jiang simply explained.

"Where is Song Gongming going? How about going to our Qingzhou!"

Chao Gai opened his mouth to invite, since he has entered the rivers and lakes, he needs a mountain top, and there is no good place to go near Yuncheng except Liangshan Po.

"Thank you Baozheng, I'm worried about finding a place to weed."

Song Jiang didn't refuse, and thanked him with a smile and clasped his fists. Although there are many mountains in Shandong, there are few places where grass can fall.

"Then it's settled. Brother Song Jiang will let me go to Baihu Mountain with him after the hero meeting. With Brother Song Jiang's help, we can deal with Qingzhou with ease!"

Chao Gai was overjoyed when he heard that, he put his arms around Song Jiang's shoulder and said with a smile.

"It's getting late, let's go to watch the ceremony first."

Song Jiang said with a smile.

"Yes, let's go!"

Chao Gai nodded and said, it's getting late at this time, a big ceremony will be held at ten o'clock in the noon, if they are late, they will be a bit rude, so many heroes are present, we can't lose face.

"Brother Chao Gai, why don't you ask Wu Xuexue first?"

Liu Tang said to Chao Gai in a low voice, Song Jiang has a lot of people, so it's a good thing that so many people join the group, but Wu Yong doesn't know anything yet.

"No need to discuss, Song Gongming has saved our lives. Isn't it even more powerful that the rain can reach our Baihu Mountain in time? The unification of Qingzhou is just around the corner!"

Chao Gai looked at Liu Tang and spoke directly.

A group of people soon arrived near the huge arena. Many wooden stands were built around the arena, and there were benches on it, and many people were already seated.

"This arena is really extraordinary!"

Looking at the arena, Chao Gai sighed, he had never seen this kind of arena before, and there was even a place to sit.

A burst of musical instruments sounded, and the festive music filled the venue, and the atmosphere suddenly rose.

"What song is this? Although it's messy, it sounds good."

Du Po squinted his eyes and listened to the music that he had never heard before. It was different from traditional solo performances such as guzheng, erhu, and pipa. The music was played by many instruments. Although it felt chaotic, the rhythm was very strong when combined. Strong, the combination of different instruments has a wonderful harmony, and it is even more beautiful when they complement each other.

"It's like the music from the Western Regions, but the difference is still very big."

Li Zhu shook his head and said, he also understands music, but he has never heard such complex and three-dimensional music.

More and more people watched the ceremony, and even the villagers around Liangshanbo came to watch the ceremony.

A crisp drum sounded, and the style of the music changed, and it became cheerful by the way.

Immediately after the sound of horns, four huge loach warships and dozens of smaller loach warships appeared on the water moor. Huachan and Li Shishi, wearing scarlet phoenix embroidered robes and phoenix crowns, stood at the bow of the boat.

"This is the navy in Liangshanbo!"

Everyone in the stands was surprised to see those warships. They knew Liangshanbo's geographical advantage was water, but they never thought that Liangshanbo could have such terrifying warships.

"No wonder Sun Lei is so arrogant. He is not afraid of the imperial court's siege at all. With the natural dangers of Liangshanbo and this invincible fleet, it is useless to have an army of [-]."

Fang Jie also said in surprise, they are from the south of the Yangtze River, and the waters of the south of the Yangtze River are very familiar. Several ships.

"I didn't expect Liang Shanbo to have such a sharp weapon!"

Du Hui also gritted his teeth and said that he was in charge of building the Mingjiao's ordnance, and the Mingjiao across the south of the Yangtze River did not have such warships.

"Master Du, can we build this kind of boat?"

Fang Jie looked at Du Wei and asked, it doesn't matter if he hasn't seen it before, but now that Liang Shanbo has it, he has long been full of jealousy, hoping that Mingjiao can also have it.

"This... Protector Fang, we are mainly building weapons. This shipbuilding is too much noise and consumes too much money..."

Du Hui shook his head and said, Mingjiao pays attention to concealment in doing things. For building weapons, blacksmiths are built in the mountains, and shipbuilding requires huge docks and shipyards. How can it be hidden.

"I don't care about these things. Mingjiao also has what Liangshan has. The waters of the south of the Yangtze River are crisscrossed. How can things be done without giant warships?"

Fang Jie didn't care so much, the huge ship shocked him too much, thinking that Mingjiao was going to make trouble, this huge ship was indispensable.

Du Hui could only nod silently when he saw Fang Jie like this. Shipbuilding requires a lot of wood, craftsmen, and a good address. It doesn’t take half a year to make preparations, let alone shipbuilding. Now he can only agree to come back. It was determined by the leader Fang La.

"Warships are really indispensable. If the Mingjiao wants to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, this ship must be available."

Lou Minzhong also came over and said, beside him was Deng Yuanjue.

"Deng Hufa, Lou Tanzhu, you two have a good stay here in Liangshan."

Seeing Deng Yuanjue and Lou Minzhong approaching, Fang Jie said with a gloomy face.

"Fang Hufa, what does this mean?"

Deng Yuanjue's face changed, and Fang Jie's words were full of yin and yang.

"You know what it means. I heard that Protector Deng is drinking and laughing with Monk Hua and others in Liangshan every day. Have you forgotten how they humiliated my Mingjiao in Jiangnan?"

Fang Jie looked at Deng Yuanjue with a sneer and said, Deng Yuanjue had a high seniority in Mingjiao, and he was the first batch of backbones who joined Fang La when he established Jiangnan Mingjiao, but now he is so close to Liang Shan, it is inevitable that people will think that there is something wrong with his belief .

"The leader sent me here this time to resolve the misunderstanding. Don't think too much about Fang Hufa."

Deng Yuanjue looked at Fang Jie and said.

"How much I think about it depends on what Protector Deng does. Whether Mingjiao and Liangshan are enemies or friends is a matter of discussion. I think it's better to avoid suspicion about some things."

Fang Jie squinted his eyes at Deng Yuanjue and Lou Minzhong and said.

"Fang Hufa, Liangshan is indeed unique, we just go to observe and learn."

Lou Minzhong said, he has been observing and studying in Liangshan Town for the past few days. Liangshan's method is very suitable for the forces in Jianghu, and it will be used by Mingjiao in the future.
