"Clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter …"
The horses' hooves were like the wind and thunder, instantly tearing apart the peaceful morning of Jiang City.
This was the widest street in Jiang City. Some Jiang City residents who had woken up early were walking on the road when they saw the horses' hooves in front of them. They quickly dodged to the side of the road.
"Who are these people? Why are they running around in the city so early in the morning? Are they rushing to reincarnate?"
A passerby who couldn't dodge in time was splashed by the surging dust. He was immediately enraged, and he began to curse profusely.
"Shh, lower your voice. Can't you see that they are soldiers? Do you want to die by insulting soldiers in public? "A familiar person beside him pulled him back and warned him in a low voice.
That person immediately shut his mouth. Just now, he was only angry, so he spoke without thinking. Now that he saw that the knights on the horses were all wearing the uniform of a military officer, how could he still have the courage from before? His head immediately shrank back, and he dived into the crowd, disappearing without a trace.
"Where are these soldiers from? Why are they running so early in the morning? Could it be that the Sect of Flame's traitors have attacked?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The traitors from the Sect of Flame have long been beaten away. How could they come to Jiang City? I recognize these riders. They are from the Navy. The one who ran over just now is my neighbor's third son. He entered the Navy five years ago and even went back once two days ago. I can't be wrong!"
"Navy camp? Why would the Navy rush into the city on horses so early in the morning? "
"Who knows? I think they are heading towards the Yellow Dragon Gang. At the end of this street is the Yellow Dragon Gang's headquarter! "
"Yellow Dragon Gang? Why are they going to the Yellow Dragon Gang? "
There was another round of discussion among the crowd …
… …
… …
"What did you say? Zhou Bao brought people to surround the headquarter of the Yellow Dragon Gang?! "
In the county government of Jiang City, the County Magistrate had just climbed out of the bed of his favorite seventh concubine. Before he could wash his face, he heard a commotion outside. Then, he saw a bailiff rush into the back of the government office and reported a piece of news that gave him a headache.
"Why did they surround the headquarter of the Yellow Dragon Gang?!" the County Magistrate asked anxiously.
"There were more than three hundred people in the Navy's camp. They surrounded the Yellow Dragon Gang so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. They said … they said …" The bailiff's face showed a hint of awkwardness as he spoke.
"What did he say? Hurry up and say it! "the county magistrate said anxiously. Looking at the bailiff's stammering appearance, he wanted nothing more than to step forward and kick him to death.
"He said he wanted to avenge Commander Gao Gong!"
"What? To avenge Gao Gong?! " The Magistrate's eyes widened and he shouted, "Bullsh * t! Gao Gong was killed by the water bandits. What does that have to do with the Yellow Dragon Gang? The leader of the Yellow Dragon Gang was Gao Gong's sworn brother. He used Gao Gong to gain a lot of benefits. How could he kill him?"
At this moment, the bailiff finally regained his senses and said, "The people from the Navy claimed that the Yellow Dragon Gang colluded with the water bandits and sold out the information about Lord Gao's mission. That's why Lord Gao was ambushed!"
"Bullsh * t! The one who sold out Gao Gong was a spy planted by the water bandits. Who doesn't know about this?!" The Magistrate was an understanding man. He paced back and forth and said, "I get it, I get it. It must be because the Yellow Dragon Gang obtained the River Heart Island dock. That's why Zhou Bao did this. Damn it! How dare he commit murder on horseback in the county in broad daylight? Who gave him the guts?!"
"Your Excellency, the people from the Yellow Dragon Gang are now in a standoff with the Navy at the entrance of their headquarters. They'll start fighting at the slightest disagreement. This is not a small matter. There are hundreds of people on both sides. If they really start fighting in this county, it'll be big trouble!"
The Magistrate's face was pale. He suddenly shouted, "Where's Guard Ding? He's the Garrison of Jiang City. He's in charge of the Navy. Where is he?! "
"Constable Xing asked us brothers to split up and inform Your Excellency and Guard Ding. I think Guard Ding should have received the news by now!"
"Where's Constable Xing?!"
"He's talking at the entrance of the Yellow Dragon Gang's headquarters, but the new Navy Commander won't listen to him at all!"
"Of course he won't listen!" The Magistrate said anxiously. "This time, he's purely looking for trouble. Quick, quick, take me there!"
"Yes!" The bailiff replied. Then, his expression became a little strange. "Your … Your Excellency!"
"What's wrong? Why aren't you leaving?!"
"You haven't changed your clothes yet!" The bailiff looked at the Magistrate, who was wearing a white inner robe, awkwardly and tried to hold back his laughter.
… …
… …
"Good, good, good. Zhou Bao is really a dog that bites. A few days ago, he only sent Wang Cheng to talk to me. He never showed up. I didn't expect that when he showed up, he would do this to me. Does he not respect the law? Does he not have me as his Garrison?! "
In the Garrison Mansion of Jiang City, Guard Ding received the same news. Unlike the Magistrate, he flew into a rage on the spot.
"Old Master, since Zhou Bao came to Jiang City, he has never respected you. Once he entered the city, he severely injured Third Son and forced him to lie in bed. He even accused him of treason, causing you to lower your head in front of him. Since ancient times, how could there be such a reason?!"
Different from the Magistrate who had many wives and concubines, Guard Ding was more restrained. He only had two concubines. The beautiful lady beside him was the one whom Junior Leopard had beaten up that day. She was the biological mother of the Third Young Master, Mrs. Li. She had never forgotten the sufferings her other sons had suffered in the hands of Junior Leopard. Now that she had such an opportunity, she would certainly not let it go. Thus, she fiercely whispered in Guard Ding's ear.
"What do you know!" Guard Ding did not appreciate it at all. He glared at Mrs. Li and said, "If it weren't for your son's stupidity, would I have lost face in front of my colleagues? You can't do anything right, but you're good at spoiling things. How dare you say that! "
"Old Master, you …!"
Madam Li didn't expect that the moment she opened her mouth, she would be scolded by Guard Ding. Her complexion immediately paled, and her eyes became watery, as if they were about to drip.
"Humph!" Guard Ding did not even look at Mrs. Li. He only shouted at his servant, "Ding Lei, follow me to the barracks to gather the soldiers. I want to see how far Zhou Bao can go!"

Jixian Street, Yellow Dragon Gang Headquarters
Junior Leopard rode on the back of a black horse. He looked leisurely with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He quietly looked at the main gate of the Yellow Dragon Gang's headquarters.
At this moment, his three hundred Navy soldiers had surrounded the headquarters. Almost at the same time, almost a hundred heads popped out from the high courtyard walls of the Yellow Dragon Gang's headquarters. Each of them was armed with a crossbow and confronted his Navy soldiers. Then, the main gate of the Yellow Dragon Gang's headquarters opened. Another hundred or so gang members rushed out with weapons in their hands and blocked the entrance. The leader was a tall and burly man with an angry expression on his face.
"Commander Zhou, why did you bring people to surround the Yellow Dragon Gang's headquarters so early in the morning?!"
Junior Leopard did not answer. He only glanced at him lightly, then turned his gaze to the high courtyard walls of the Yellow Dragon Gang. The burly man was furious. He took a step forward and was about to question him again. Suddenly, Little Du, who was in front of Junior Leopard's horse, dashed forward. A fierce Qi Power hit him in the face. Even though the burly man was experienced in street fights and battles, he could only retreat when faced with Little Du's ferocious power.
As Little Du rushed forward, the burly man's heart trembled. His legs went soft and he took a few steps back. He fell on his butt in front of the Yellow Dragon Gang's door. He had lost a lot of face.
When the navy soldiers saw this, they all roared with laughter. The burly man's face turned red. He looked at the laughing crowd and then at the people behind him. Although the gang members of the Yellow Dragon Gang did not dare to laugh, they all had smiles on their faces. If they had not been holding it in, they might have laughed out loud on the spot as well.
"Zhou Bao, you've gone too far!"
The people of Jianghu, especially the gangsters who mingled on the streets, were very concerned about their reputation. Their reputation was the most important thing. Now that he had lost his face in front of so many people, how could he let it go? A stream of heat rushed to his head. With a roar, he pulled out the saber in his hand and fiercely slashed at Little Du.
Junior Leopard did not even lift his eyelids. He only looked at the courtyard gate with a sneer.
Just as the burly man's saber was about to slash at Little Du, a cold shout came from the courtyard gate.
"Stop!"
"Hoo!"
"Ah!"
Screams and hisses almost accompanied the cold shout. When everything quieted down, the burly man was seen squatting on the ground with a pale face. The arm that held the saber was long gone. A scalp-numbing chewing sound slowly spread around. In front of everyone, Little Du was unscrupulously gnawing on the broken arm. In two or three breaths, the entire arm was swallowed into its stomach, leaving only the hand that held the saber on the ground.
With a mouth full of blood, Little Du returned to Junior Leopard's horse as if nothing had happened.
"Commander Zhou, you brought people to surround my headquarters and even let your beast commit murder. Do you really not put the Yellow Dragon Gang in your eyes?"
A man walked out of the Yellow Dragon Gang's gate. He was thin, and his entire body exuded an extremely capable aura. His eyes were slightly restrained, and when they opened and closed, there was a faint cold glint. He wore a yellow brocade robe, and his face was filled with anger.
"Of course I don't put the Yellow Dragon Gang in my eyes!" Junior Leopard's gaze fell on this man. He raised his chin slightly. "If I put the Yellow Dragon Gang in my eyes, I wouldn't have come today!"
"You …!" The man didn't expect Junior Leopard to speak so straightforwardly. How could he not give him face? His expression grew uglier. He took a deep breath and took a step forward. "Since you don't put the Yellow Dragon Gang in your eyes, then why are you here today, Commander Zhou?"
"If I'm not wrong, you should be the Gang Leader of the Yellow Dragon Gang, the Cloud Piercing Falcon, Qian Mufan!"
"I'm Qian Mufan, nice to meet you!" Qian Mufan cupped his fists and gave a curtsy. He was using this action to express his dissatisfaction.
"I'm looking for you. You colluded with the water bandits on the Luo River and harmed my navy, causing the death of the previous Commander. Today, I'm here with my brothers to settle the score with you!"
When Junior Leopard said this, he was confident. His whole body carried a Qi Power of grief and indignation, as if he was serious.
"You, you're slandering me!" Qian Mufan panicked when he heard this. He really didn't expect Junior Leopard to be so daring to lie in broad daylight. He said it so confidently. How could a person be so shameless?
"Make way, make way, all of you, make way …!"
Just when he was tongue-tied by Junior Leopard and didn't know what to say for a moment, there was a sudden uproar outside. Suddenly, hundreds of officers and soldiers rushed over and surrounded the navy under Junior Leopard's command.
