The latest website: Everyone in the Xie family who once dominated Taiyuan was beheaded like this.
Taiyuan City celebrates from top to bottom, whether it is the low-level people or merchants and officials.
The whole Taiyuan is extremely lively, every house is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and everyone has a smile on their faces.
Li Chengfeng didn't leave Taiyuan, but stayed in Taiyuan city to have fun with the people.
It was not until three days later that Li Chengfeng left Taiyuan with Lu Wenwen and Wang Er.
The three boarded an official ship and headed west along the Fenshui River outside the city.
At noon, the sky was full of sunshine, and Li Chengfeng lay on the deck and fell asleep.
On the side, Wang Er and Lu Wen are playing chess in front of the chessboard.
"Wang Er, you are doomed to lose this time, watch the trick!"
"Hey, I knew you would come down here, I've been waiting for it for a long time!"
Even if they were playing chess, the two chatterboxes were not idle, they still taunted each other.
This is the official ship they found in Taiyuan City in order to avoid the enthusiastic people.
No one bothered them, only the sound of water waves on both sides, very leisurely.
…
But then the boat stopped suddenly.
Wang Er and Lu Wen, who were playing chess, couldn't help but stumble, and the chessboard fell to the ground.
Even Li Chengfeng, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, was awakened with a frown.
"That boy, what are you doing?"
"Didn't you see the two of us playing chess?"
Lu Wen stood up, pointed at the boatman at the bow and shouted angrily.
The boatman was helpless, but he didn't dare to offend the nobles.
"Forgive me, my lord. There is a row of boats across the river ahead. If they don't stop, I'm afraid they will run into each other."
Lu Wen wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Li Chengfeng.
He walked to the bow and looked forward.
All I could see was a dozen or so small boats on the misty river ahead.
In the middle of the group of small boats, there is a slightly larger merchant ship.
Following the sound of the wind, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.
"Lean over to me, I want to see who dares to block the river!"
With serious eyes, Li Chengfeng said to the boatman.
Seeing him speak, the boatman could only shake his head helplessly, and directed the crew to move forward.
…
As the official ship continued to move forward, the scene in front of them became clearer.
On the small boats, each one was full of more than a dozen shirtless men.
See the Tudelong flag hanging on the bow.
Those small boats did not advance or retreat, but turned their heads to surround Li Chengfeng and the others.
Seeing Wang Er and Lu Wen, they couldn't help but gasp.
"This group of people are probably water thieves for acting like this!"
"That's right! Eighth Prince, we still have to be careful in advance!"
The two picked up the weapons at hand one after another, and put away the smiles on their faces.
Li Chengfeng also narrowed his eyes slightly.
Water thieves are different from Water Transport Gang.
The water transport gang just provided shelter to the waterway chamber of commerce for mutual benefit.
Datang's navy still can't cover the whole country.
It is simply impossible to achieve the same system of water police as later generations.
But water thieves do far worse things.
They often kill the entire caravan, just like those Japanese pirates.
…
Just as a few people were thinking, those small boats had already leaned against the official boat.
The people in those small boats took out their longboards one after another, put them on Li Chengfeng's boat, and rushed over.
"Brothers, business is here, everyone hurry up!"
Accompanied by the shouts of the water bandits, hundreds of people quickly rushed onto the official boat.
Fortunately, this official ship was originally used to transport goods, otherwise it would have sunk long ago.
"Brothers, if you have something to say, just say it, and we'll just give you the money!"
The captain of the boat looked at the water bandits with so many people, his voice was trembling with fright.
Li Chengfeng's eyes looked back and forth over the heads of these water bandits.
Lu Wen also took advantage of this time to come to the group of water thieves.
…
As long as Li Chengfeng made a move, he would rush in and teach these people a lesson.
At this moment, a young man in Tsing Yi walked out from among the water thieves.
Different from others, this person is fair and clean, with a long scarf on his head, and dressed as a scholar.
The man walked up to Li Chengfeng and bowed to the ground.
"The villain Qingzhou Water Gang, Wu Quan!"
Hearing this name, Li Chengfeng put away the black-toothed sword in his hand.
He knew the Qingzhou Water Gang, and he was very familiar with the name Wu Quan.
Before the Water Transport Gang was destroyed, he heard from the boss of the Water Transport Gang that he had a son in the north.
Unexpectedly, I will meet you on this Fenshui today.
…
But Lu Wenwen, Wang Er, and the group of water bandits were dumbfounded.
"So it's you, why are you robbing merchant ships here?" Li Chengfeng asked with a frown.
He did owe favors to the Water Transport Gang.
But if the other party harms the people here, then he will never hold back.
"Looting merchant ships? I, Wu Quan, guarantee with my life that I have never done such a thing."
"We were escorting them just now."
"You don't know, this Taiyuan government is much more ruthless than us water thieves!"
"How many people were intercepted and killed on the water because they offended the Xie family!"
Wu Quan also knew that Li Chengfeng had misunderstood, so he explained repeatedly, for fear that Li Chengfeng would make a move.
He also heard about the prestige of the Eighth Prince from some elders of the Water Transport Gang, so how dare he offend him.
…
Only then did Li Chengfeng give Lu Wen a look, signaling him to withdraw.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, the tense atmosphere between the two groups was relieved.
Only then did everyone understand.
It turned out that Wu Quan and his men mistakenly thought that it was the Xie family's cargo ship that came over.
Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, the people brought by Wuhui also left again.
Li Chengfeng and he stood at the bow of the boat chatting.
"What's going on with the Water Transport Gang now?"
Hearing this, President Wu sighed.
"Since the elder uncle and father passed away, the Water Transport Gang has also fallen apart."
"Since I met the Eighth Prince this time, I still have a merciless request!"
…
Only then did Li Chengfeng turn his head to look at Wu Hui.
"It's okay to say something, after all, I still owe a favor to the Water Transport Gang!"
"The villain wants to invite the eighth prince to come and preside over the overall situation for me!" Wu Hui knelt down and said.
His father's death was so sudden.
The Water Transport Gang, which was originally a mixed force, could not be suppressed by his prestige alone.
Even if it is used up now, he will do the last favor of the Water Transport Gang in front of Li Chengfeng.
"Good!" Li Chengfeng nodded with sharp eyes.
…
The two talked for a bit longer and ate something together before parting ways
The boatman, who was not in any danger, sailed again and quickly left the water here.
At this time, Lanzhou, the destination of their trip was extremely lively.
A Tubo man in red armor was cursing outside the city.
But the soldiers around him seemed to have no intention of fighting.
Especially a black-faced man.
They were sent by the king to watch over the princess, but unexpectedly they came to the border of the Tang Dynasty.
If there is a fight, let's not talk about winning or losing.
The crime of breaking the covenant alone is enough to kill him eight times.
The man thought for a while and made up his mind.
He quietly came behind the woman and smashed the mace in his hand.
The woman who was swearing suddenly fainted.
The Tubo army returned to the court, and only the Lanzhou City Defense Army remained in a daze.
