In Longqing County, Zhong Hongwu, a general of Huaihua City who had retired to his hometown, died. In the end, a nameless Fish-dragon Gang appeared out of nowhere.
Not only did the Fish-dragon Gang take over most of the waterway business in Long Qing County, they even relied on smuggling at the border. It was said that they could make money from both sides of the upper echelons of Lingzhou and Youzhou.
The new top ten sects in Jianghu were full of vigor and were not as lethargic as before. Undoubtedly, Mount Huishan Ziyi was the biggest winner. Not only did they make their Moonless House in the Great Snow Plateau enter the top three, surpassing the declining Longhu Sect and the thriving Wudang Sect, they stood shoulder to shoulder with the Wu Family's Sword Tomb and Lantuo Mountain. They also brought the Spring God Lake's Snow Mountain Villa to the sky. Later on, there was the Dragon Palace that was ridiculed as Mr. Nalan's "maid" in Nanjiang, the new sect in the North, and the Spring Invitation Cottage led by the beauty "Xie" in the West Shu Bamboo Sea. The Fish-dragon Gang of Northern Liang's Lingzhou, which ranked at the bottom, was the most unexpected upstart. They did not have a top Level One master as their stabilizing force, nor did they have a deep foundation to show off. However, after a few fights with hundreds of talents and the gang, they had annexed a few gangs from other provinces. There were no longer people who mocked and ridiculed them all day long. The young female gang leader's reputation continued to rise. However, for some reason, she rarely showed herself. Most of the time, she was in charge of the affairs of the foreign guests who were suspected of occupying the gang's territory.
In the past, Jianghu was full of men and not enough of women. The so-called heroines and fairies were just decorations that could not cause much trouble. However, it was different now. Among the top ten sects, there were four female leaders, the leader of Wulin Alliance Xuanyuan Qingfeng, the new Palace Master of Dragon Palace Lin Hongyuan, Xie Xie from West Shu, and Liu Nerong from the Fish-dragon Gang. They were almost on par with the men. However, among the four women, Liu Nerong was undoubtedly the most inconspicuous. She did not have the beauty of Xie Xie, nor did she have the peak martial arts of Xuanyuan Qingfeng. She even vaguely retreated behind the scenes in the Fish-dragon Gang like a puppet.
Many locals of Lingzhou couldn't help but feel indignant for him. It had always been the bigger shop bullying the customers, how could there be the logic of the bigger customers bullying the shop?
In the famous Nan Xiangzi Restaurant in Longqing County, a heroic-looking woman went up alone. She ordered a few signature seasonal dishes and drank wine by the window. The manager was an old man in Longqing County. He had a close relationship with Old Gang Leader Liu, who had already retired. Seeing this young woman who he had watched grow up with his own eyes, he felt sad and sympathetic. However, the old man knew the woman's temperament, so he couldn't show it on his face. He could only ask someone to find a good wine that had been stored in the cellar for many years. He personally opened the mud seal and accompanied the woman to drink a bowl of hot, strong wine. They talked about the Jianghu deeds of Old Master Liu when he was young. When the old shopkeeper saw the group of people arrogantly climbing up the stairs, he sighed and silently got up to leave. Every family had its own difficulties, not to mention that the Fish-dragon Gang today was not something that an old wine seller like him could meddle in.
The woman looked up and saw that the three people were the guests who had joined the Fish-dragon Gang in two batches. The burly man in his prime was originally a notorious macheteman in Youzhou who carried a famous knife called "Zongyi". The old man was one of the top internal experts in Hezhou. He was close to Level Two and had the reputation of being a painter. The young and handsome man was the most powerful of the three. He was also good at using subtle hidden weapons, which made it impossible for people to guard against him. He was the top Jianghu talent in Gangnam-do. At present, the Fish-dragon Gang claimed to have four great masters and eighteen guests. The three of them were the confidants of the second master, Jiang Cixi. Jiang Cixi, the devil who was born in Nanjiang, had once killed Xuan Zhenren of a venerated Taoist temple in the south when he was only at Level Two. Not to mention Jiang Cixi, who should have been executed in Jianghu, even Xu Dachang, the macheteman who carried the Zongyi Knife, was a tricky character that no one in the old Fish-dragon Gang could compete with except for Old Master Liu. In such a gang where all kinds of "fish and dragons" were mixed, except for an almost invincible woman like Huishan Ziyi, no one could control such a large group of domineering people who were united.
The painter Xu Kunshan had been in Jianghu for a long time and was a shrewd old man. Although he looked down on the girl from the bottom of his heart, he still called her Old Master Liu in a pleasant manner.
Xu Dachang held the handle of the Zongyi Knife with one hand and sat down casually with a sarcastic face. He poured himself a glass of wine. At this moment, the Fish-dragon Gang had a large number of people and could be said to be strong and powerful. It was like those guys who were in charge of smuggling at the border and no one knew where they came from. They could even swagger with light crossbows and even the government could only turn a blind eye to it. This group of people were all subordinates of the great master, Fang Gaoqi. However, Fang Gaoqi had never participated in the power struggle of the Fish-dragon Gang. Everyone guessed that this guy most likely had a background in the Beiliang Army, so naturally no one dared to provoke him. However, the other three great masters, including Jiang Cixi, were all people of Jianghu who knew their own ins and outs very well. The three of them fought with each other and supported each other. Soon, the nominal Gang Leader in front of them became a mere figurehead. The young woman could not convince the crowd, so how could she compete with these old men who were well-versed in the rules of Jianghu? Not only did she gradually lose her voice, but she was also reduced to being used as a bet by two young guests.
After the handsome man sat down, he stared at the woman across the table and asked with a smile, "Nerong, today I will have a martial arts competition with Song Chunqiao at Yaohua Lake. Would you like to cheer for me?"
Liu Nerong's eyes were cold and did not show much emotion.
