Fish swimming around the world

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble as much as possible, Jiang Fan specially played the state prime minister's guard, and traveled as far as possible along the main road under the escort of a thousand imperial guards dispatched by the prince.

His plan was to run southwest along the main road from Daizhou, and after arriving at Lingjiang, a tributary of Longjiang, he rushed to Tianmen Gorge along the waterway.

Although this route was somewhat detour, it should be able to avoid a lot of trouble. The real problem was probably the barren mountains and wild ridges along the Lingjiang River.

He also understood that if someone was determined to do something, there was no way to avoid it.

After more than 20 days of travel, they finally took the speedboat of the coolie gang and entered the barren land with mountains on both sides.

This section of the waterway belongs to the territory of Xia State, but because it is a densely populated mountainous area, sparsely populated, and scarce products, Xia State rarely pays attention to it, especially since this place is the place where Longmen Jiang Family is entrenched. This is not only a huge thousand-year-old family, but also the place where King Xia was born. Therefore, although it belongs to Xia State in name, it is actually the private territory assigned to Jiang Family by Xia State.

This route is about 300 miles long. Due to the mountain terrain, the water flow is tortuous, and the width of the river varies. This is also what Jiang Fan is most worried about before arriving at Tianmen Gorge.

He is not afraid of assassination. Now he has veteran strongmen such as Master Zou, Old Fisherman, Master Huitong and Master Zhang Zhiling on his boat. As long as it is not as serious as what happened in Daicheng, it will generally be fine. He just doesn't want to be delayed.

But it is often like this. The more you fear something, the more it will come. In a narrow and winding waterway, their boat was blocked by someone.

An iron chain as thick as an arm crossed the Ling River, and dozens of people stood on it, watching Jiang Fan and others on the bow.

"When did this chain appear?" The captain of the Black Sail Gang looked surprised: "It wasn't there when we came."

Lu Tiezui looked at the row of people on the chain and curled his lips: "A crow landed on a branch. I counted with my fingers. Today's trip is not going well."

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at him. This is nothing, but it is very vivid. There are dozens of people lined up on the chain. From a distance, it is almost like a row of crows.

"This person is so blatant and doesn't look like the King of England. Could it be Jiang Zhan?" Master Zou walked forward slowly.

Jiang Fan shook his head: "Not likely. I came with a guard of honor. After all, Jiang Zhan has to consider the relationship with the royal family and his own reputation. In theory, it is unlikely that he will take action on his own territory."

"Could it be that we are wrong? There are still people who don't like to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?" Lu Tiezui touched his head and said.

Jiang Fan looked at him: "Look, there is still some distance, why don't you take this opportunity to calculate and see who the other party is?"

Lu Tiezui snorted and pointed to the sky, "Last night, I observed the stars at night and used the secret technique of Taizu to divine. I found that a strange star suddenly appeared, as powerful as Greedy Wolf, with the intention of bloody killing."

Jiang Fan frowned: "I gave you the divination technique of Taizu, and you learned to talk nonsense? Speak some human language."

Lu Tiezui coughed and said: "In short, a group of people came out of nowhere, with a heavy evil spirit, but they think highly of themselves."

Jiang Fan was a little surprised: "Oh, it's really restless, I want to finish my business early and go back to see Brother Taohua, where did this come from..."

The distance is getting closer and closer, and it can be seen clearly that the people on the iron chain are all wearing green long gowns with the same style, obviously belonging to the same faction.

The speedboat slowly stopped at a distance of about thirty feet.

Lu Tiezui strode to the bow, put one hand on his waist and shouted loudly: "Where did you come from, you water rat? How dare you block the river in broad daylight? Get out of the way! I didn't say I didn't warn you!"

"Hahaha——"

A long laugh came from the center of the iron chain. It was a tall man with a cloak on his shoulders and a bronze mask on his face.

"Prime Minister... almost a thief who stole the country. You don't need to ask who I am. You just need to know that I came here to enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"

Lu Tiezui snorted: "Bullshit, a person who hides his head and shows his tail, is he qualified to talk about enforcing justice on behalf of heaven? If you have the guts, tell me your name. Your grandfather Lu will not accept nameless souls under his banner!"

"How dare you!" A man in green next to the man shouted loudly, and the air wave rolled up the river water and crashed into him.

Lu Tiezui was startled. He didn't expect that this guy would be so powerful with just a loud shout. Then he felt his waist tighten and the whole person was pulled back.

At the same time, a leisurely voice sounded: "Young man, don't be so angry."

As the sound waves spread, the water on the river surface trembled and jumped violently, and the waves that followed the shout were actually dispersed ten feet away.

Jiang Fan was a little surprised that it was Master Zou who came out. This old master doesn't like to take action easily.

"Strong?" The other side snorted coldly: "Dare to disrespect my young palace master, take my attack!"

After saying that, he suddenly flicked his sleeves, and a ten-foot huge wave actually pressed towards the speedboat like a small mountain.

Master Zou laughed, his feet were not in a straight line, and his sleeves were swung. Two water dragons rose on both sides of the ship, entwined with each other, circling and rushing towards the huge waves.

The next moment, the water dragons connected with the huge waves, but there was no huge movement. Instead, two water dragons drilled through the waves, and then split the huge waves to the left and right like chopsticks to pry rice.

This is water, under Master Zou's water dragon, it was actually pulled apart like food.

"Oh? I underestimated you, old man." The man on the chain flew up into the air like a big bird, and the river water under his feet rose up a wave to catch him and sent him to ten feet in front of the big ship.

This is a middle-aged man with a stern face and indifferent eyes, and his aura is very sinister.

"Tell me your name. Xingdao Palace killed people, and they should be named and listed according to their crimes."

Master Zou shook his head and said slowly: "If you give me a name and list me as a crime, how sacred is your Xingdao Palace that you dare to make such arrogant remarks?"

"In the Xingdao Palace, anyone who disobeys God's will can be killed! You have followed the great demon Jiang Fan, and your crime has been determined. If you behead yourself, the gods can still forgive you."

Master Zou chuckled: "I am over a hundred years old. I only admire the yin and yang of the sun and the moon, and the five elements of creation. I have no respect for gods or monsters. Young man, please step aside. I am counting my years. , I really don’t want to take action.”

The man said indifferently: "Very good. Since you are so disrespectful and unafraid of God, you deserve to die. You have earned your age. Take your life!"

Just as he was about to take action, a voice came from behind him: "Wait a minute."

The next moment, the man wearing a bronze mask floated down in the air, looked at Zou Yan and said: "Yin Yang and Five Elements, the founder of the Five Elements School, Zou Yan, Master Zou, in person?"

Although this man was wearing a mask, his eyes were wild and his eyebrows were like scimitars, which could not conceal his aloofness and indifference to everything.

Master Zou was a little surprised: "Young man, do you recognize me?"

The masked man said: "I am here, the punishment is coming. Master Zou Yan, the young master of the Xingdao Palace, created the theory of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, and has contributed to cultivation. Now as long as you abandon Jiang Fan and return to the Dao Palace, you can be protected by the Dao Palace. There will be divine blessing in the future.”
