Zongwu: Give you a chance and get a 10,000 times critical hit return!

The pirates attacked the traveling merchants and met Zhao Wuxian and others.

"Zhu Da Tian Wang?!"

Not far away, Liang Qing, Zhou Hui and others were leaning on the boat watching the play. When they heard "Zhu the Great Heavenly King", they were all startled.

After the pirates were completely wiped out, Zhao Wuxian and his crew returned to the boat.

Mu Wanqing's dress fluttered as she sheathed her sword and asked curiously, "Is this Heavenly King Zhu very powerful?"

Xu Chunjiao nodded and said solemnly: "Very impressive!"

"How does it compare to Yuan Shisanxian?"

“It could be even more powerful!”

"Ok?"

Xu Chunjiao said: "The Great Heavenly King Zhu is the Grand Alliance Leader of the Twelve Linked Docks Waterway in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River."

"This man is called Zhu Shunshui, also known as Zhu the Great King or Old Master Zhu!"

"His reputation spreads across the land and sea, and all the heroes of the outlaws are in awe of him."

"He has many masters under him, including the Two Gods, Three Heroes, Four Sticks, Five Swords, Six Palms, and Seven Elders. He is the most powerful person on the Yangtze River!"

"Gangs like the Iron Palm Gang are all his minions."

During the Song Dynasty, trade flourished.

The name "Fu Song" is known throughout the country.

As famous as the "Rich Song" is the "Weak Song"!

This is not a contradiction.

Being rich does not necessarily mean being strong.

Rich is wealth.

Weakness means weak soldiers.

The rivers, lakes and seas of the Song Dynasty were filled with merchant ships and barges.

The coming and going of ships formed waterway trade routes, bringing in countless wealth.

The "347" Yangtze River Basin is a must-pass place for merchants and travelers traveling from south to north.

The person who controls the underworld here is definitely rich enough to rival a country.

But it is precisely because of this huge benefit.

Various gangs and pirates fought each other on the river, fighting to the death.

Until the great king Zhu appeared.

With his strong attitude, he intimidated all the forces along the Yangtze River, established a waterway alliance, and divided the territory.

After he ended the internal confrontation in the Yangtze River underworld.

The Waterway Alliance has become an authority on the river that is more effective than the government.

Ship merchants and passengers were not only exploited by officers and soldiers at the ferry crossings along the way, but also had to pay tolls to the waterway alliance.

Of course, from another perspective, the emergence of the Waterway Alliance has made the river orderly.

As long as you pay the money, you will get the flag of the Waterway Alliance.

You don't have to worry too much about encountering river bandits or pirates.

Even the ferrymen were polite.

But if anyone dares not to pay, the minions of the Waterway Alliance will kill and rob without mercy.

It is said that some officials had to pay money to these people in order to ensure safety when their ships entered Beijing. They were really powerful.

The "wealth" and "weakness" of the Song Dynasty can also be seen from this.

Zhao Wuxian looked at the sunken ship and floating corpses on the river, pondering in silence.

His mood was like the ups and downs of the waves.

This trip.

He not only obtained some treasures, but also saw the scenery of various places.

I also have a clearer and deeper understanding of the current situation of the Song Dynasty.

The emergence of the "Jingkang Shame" did not happen overnight.

You can see the clues just from what you see.

Putting aside the grudges in the court and the underworld, let’s think of the “Jingkang Incident” that nailed the Song Dynasty to the pillar of shame.

Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but feel angry.

Could he watch that happen?

Do not!

Absolutely not!

Zhao Wuxian's eyes gradually became firm.

Wang Yuyan came over with graceful steps, stretched out her slender white hand, shook his, and said softly, "Zhao Lang!"

She and Zhao Wuxian were in tune with each other and could feel his worry and anger.

She covered her face with a white veil, revealing a pair of autumn-watery almond eyes.

Her dark eyebrows were filled with tenderness. She leaned gently against him and said in a gentle voice, "No matter what you want to do, Yuyan will be with you!"

She is a very clever person.

Although he didn't say anything about the situation of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion, he saw it with his own eyes.

Zhao WuXian chuckled upon hearing this.

He put his arms around Wang Yuyan's slender waist, made her face to face with him, and lowered his head to kiss her lips through the white gauze.

Wang Yuyan's face immediately turned red, and she said shyly, "There are other people here!"

Zhao Wuxian laughed and said, "My dear wife, when I return, I will propose to the Wang family and marry you in a formal ceremony."

He raised his hand and pinched Wang Yuyan's nose, saying, "Then you won't have to be so sneaky like you are now!"

"what!"

Wang Yuyan was surprised and happy, feeling sweet in her heart, and said angrily, "Bad guy, who sneaked with you?"

"Yes, that's right. We are not doing it secretly. We are doing it openly!" Zhao Wuxian said.

"Hey, I won't pay attention to you. You keep saying bullying things. Humph!"

Wang Yuyan was so shy that she turned around, pouted her red lips, and said, "Zhong Ling?"

Zhao WuXian looked over.

"Master, Master, come and take a look!"

Zhong Ling stepped on a wooden board on the water and floated over from a distance like surfing.

Close behind the boat.

She leaped up, nimbly and agile, and landed on the deck.

He let out a sigh, wiped the sweat off his face, and his little face turned red.

She had just taken care of several bad guys. She felt very proud and happy.

"Xiao Zhongling, why did you kidnap a child?" Xu Chunjiao asked.

Liang Qing smiled and said, "Yeah? Where did you get it from?"

Zhong Ling is cute, lively, sunny and naughty, and is loved by everyone.

It added a lot of laughter to the group.

"Pah, I didn't kidnap her, I embraced her!"

Zhong Ling made a face at them and said, "I saw her on the boat, crying over the corpse, so I brought her back."

Zhao Wuxian and Wang Yuyan came over.

Look at that child.

She was about eight years old, wearing tattered clothes and barefoot, and looked like a boatman's daughter.

Although she was a poor girl from a boatman.

But her face is pretty and she is definitely a stunning beauty.

There were tears on her eyelashes as she peeked at them timidly, looking so pitiful.

Wang Yuyan was kind-hearted. She walked over, squatted down, and said softly, "Little sister, what's your name?"

When the little girl saw this beautiful sister, she felt a little safer.

She answered quietly, "My last name is Zhou. My father said I was born in Zhijiang, so he named me Zhou Zhiruo."

Zhou Zhiruo?

Zhao Wuxian looked her over and over.

"Zhiruo? What a good name!"

Wang Yuyan asked, "Where's your father?"

Zhou Zhiruo pursed her lips, tears fell, and she sobbed, "Dead, dead!"

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry, sister will show you the little mink!"

Zhong Ling took out a mink from the cloth bag she carried across her body. It had white fur and looked fluffy, very cute.

The lightning marten squeaked in protest, but Zhong Ling had its neck pinched, so it could only let her do what she wanted.

"Come on, smile!"

Zhong Ling teased Zhou Zhiruo.
