As the new year is approaching, the ice and snow have melted in some places.

On the Nanshan Mountain, the snow has melted, and although the green color is no longer visible, it seems to have a little more vitality.

The number of people on the Nanshan Plank Road has increased again.

The bandits in Nanshan who were wiped out not long ago are showing signs of coming back again.

Gululu~

On the muddy plank road, a carriage came slowly, pushing through the mud and water, and drove to the front of Dulong Town.

This place is located on an important road. Although there were no people around a few months ago, within a few months, it became lively again.

Bandits, refugees from other places, and even some bandits and horse thieves came here again. After several fierce fights, the town had its owner again.

Dulong Town also took advantage of the situation and changed its name to "Green Snake Pass".

At the same time, the stronghold in Nanshan also changed its owner and is now called 'Green Snake Mountain'.

But the existence of Green Snake Mountain was much shorter than that of Dulong Village. In less than a month, it was uprooted again.

"Xu~"

The slightly skinny groom pulled the horse's reins.

A young man with a tall figure and a handsome face opened the curtain and walked out. He didn't care about the scattered pedestrians gathering around him, and looked around indifferently:

"Old guy, did you just die in such a small place?"

"Elder Lu fell here and caused a lot of trouble for the sect. If it weren't for the money, he would have been wearing the label of being a friend of gangsters."

The skinny groom shook his head slightly:

"The sect also used tricks, but Elder Lu was in the hands of Jin Yiwei, and it was difficult to operate..."

"My stupid elder brother is said to have died downstairs?"

The young man looked indifferent and suddenly said:

"Whoever is in charge here, come out and see me!"

boom!

It was like thunder exploding on dry land, and several pedestrians watching from a distance were startled.

Embarrassing exclamations came from the heavily damaged town: "Again, someone is coming again..."

"again?"

The young man frowned slightly and noticed something.

He didn't know what this town looked like originally, but when Jingxin felt it, he immediately realized that something was wrong. The smell of blood here was so strong that it was outrageous.

I don't know how many days have passed, but it is still lingering. If you look closely, the blood stains are still visible.

"This sir..."

Before the young man could finish his words, an embarrassed figure had already sprung out, staggering to his knees and trembling:

"Little Luocao has no choice but to live. There is really no way to survive at home. Please treat me as a fart and let me go..."

The middle-aged man burst into tears, as if he were mourning his heir. His body was still trembling as he spoke, which made the young man feel disgusted.

It was the groom who spoke again:

"We are from Bailongxuan, and we are not the adults you call us!"

"After all, you are considered a warrior who has changed your blood. Why are you so weak?"

The young man looked unhappy.

"Bai Longxuan? You...are you the little white dragon Lu Wanliu?"

Hearing the three words "Bai Longxuan", the man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then he dared to raise his head, recognized the young man's identity, and started to cry again.

"You said that a few days ago, experts from the six gates came to encircle and destroy you Qinglong Mountain? How many of you escaped with hundreds of people?"

Lu Wanliu was surprised, but his eyes darkened:

"How many people came from the six doors? Where are they now?"

"One person, no, two people."

The man's teeth began to chatter. Seeing Lu Wanliu's impatient expression, he stammered:

"Two people came, one looked like a groom, took action, only one person took action, him, he used a sword, a sword and a bow. He stood still during the day and suddenly attacked at night...

By daybreak, except for a few of us, there were not many people alive in the huge Green Snake Mountain..."

"one person?!"

Both Lu Wanliu and Lu Wanliu's pupils shrank.

The two of them didn't look down on the bandits, the bandits, the gangs of bandits, these unfashionable Green Foresters.

But how complicated is the terrain of Nanshan?

To be able to wipe out such a large village in one night, such a method...

"This person..."

Listening to the man's description, Lu Wanliu's heart was shaken, and he suddenly lifted it up:

"Where did that person go?!"

"Mu, Mulin Mansion..."

…

…

The Tao River is mighty and mighty, coming out from Qingzhou City, passing through Delin Prefecture and Mulin Prefecture to the east of Yunzhou and Baizhou.

The New Year has passed, the weather is getting warmer, and the sound of rumbling waves can already be heard.

Because there are Yunzhou and Baizhou across the river, Mulin Prefecture is one of the few prefectures in Qingzhou with developed water transportation. There was a lot of business in the past and it was extremely prosperous.

As a result, a large-scale gang that made a living by water transport was spawned.

The Giant Whale Gang is one of the two largest gangs. In order to seize the benefits of water transportation, they have fought countless times with the Big Dragon Gang.

"Walk transportation..."

Looking through the files, Yang Yu was thoughtful.

Water transportation has always been the most profitable place, and it is not uncommon for gangs to make a living from it. It is a bit incredible that it can develop to such a scale.

According to the records given to him by Xu Wenji.

The two major water transportation gangs in Mulin Prefecture have tens of thousands of people, and each gang has thousands of people. They are extremely powerful!

And it would be absolutely impossible for them to develop to such a height without anyone behind them.

"Starting from here, we can indeed find something..."

Yang Prison was heartbroken.

Everyone knows that the Four Families are powerful in Qingzhou, but there is no accurate answer as to what forces are colluding with them.

Looking at this file, combined with the deal Huang Sixiang made with him, he had an idea.

These two major gangs are probably one of them.

During the Ming Dynasty, salt and iron were not prohibited. Private individuals could sell salt and iron with the permission of the court, but water transportation was not allowed to be interfered with.

If it were just some Kuhaha clinging to each other, the Gong Gongs in the court might not care at all, but if it was a gang supported by aristocratic families...

"Han Jing of the Giant Whale Gang, Wei Jiao of the Giant Jiao Gang... No wonder the martial arts in Mulin Mansion is extremely strong, and there are quite a few masters."

Talking to himself, Yang Yu moved his index finger slightly with some expectation.

There are also many masters in Qingzhou City, but the power of the imperial court is too great, so few martial arts masters will go to Qingzhou City.

Mulin Mansion is different.

"Master Yang, this Mulin Mansion is really lively!"

Outside the carriage, Xiao Wu's surprised voice came.

Yang Yu opened the curtain and walked out, only to see the roar of people not far away, and the huge city gate was handling a huge flow of people.

At this time, the Datao River had not yet thawed, and no fleets had yet arrived, but the intensity of land transportation was only lower than that of Qingzhou.

"Go to the city, go to the city."

Xiao Wu became excited.

It took more than a month to walk along this journey. He had dry food and cold water all day long. He felt like a bird was in his mouth. Seeing how prosperous Mulin Mansion was, he was naturally happy in his heart.

In Mulin Mansion, carriages could not be allowed to come in and out. After paying the entrance fee, the two of them stepped into Mulin Mansion.

Different from Qingzhou's simplicity, although Mulin Mansion is much smaller and the streets are not that spacious, the various buildings are very compact. At a glance, it is crowded and bustling.

At this time, the New Year has just passed, and there is still some lingering warmth of the New Year on the streets, with many New Year goods on sale.
