Du Hong did not return to the Hengjiang Gang branch, but went straight to Jianchuan South Wharf.

According to Yan Li's estimate, if Yu Changhe, the leader of the Hengjiang Gang, was not a brain-defused person, he would definitely make arrangements as quickly as possible after receiving Du Hong's letter.

It will take about five or six hours to deliver the letter to Yu Changhe. If there is no problem on the road, Yu Changhe should have read the secret letter early yesterday morning.

The head of the Hengjiang Gang is not in the capital of the Western Qin King, and it is only a few hundred miles away from Jianchuan. A fast ship will travel south along the river and be smooth sailing, and it will not even take twelve hours.

Considering various factors, especially Jianchuan, everyone does not like conspiracy. The Hengjiang Gang's helm leader must be upright, so the possibility of storming at night and killing Zou Tong was ruled out the next morning.

Then, the most suitable time is this morning.

When the sun is three o'clock, when the crowds of people are on the dock, the Clippers under the banner of Yu Gang will arrive in Jianchuan in a high-profile manner.

As for the candidate...

For Changhe, the river waterway must be obtained, and Zou Tong must be cut off whether he rebelled or not. The next helm leader may be the second-person of the Hengjiang Gang in the future, so he must be Yu Changhe's own confidant.

Du Hong couldn't guess who his uncle would choose, just as he didn't understand why it was the time when the sun was three o'clock.

At that time, Yan Li was unwilling to tell him how to get to know the truth. The reason was very simple: Du Hong was not so cunning? Telling everything would only make him proud and easily see the flaws by Zou Tong.

In Yan Li's words, "That person is a surprise to you. When you see him, you will understand that the deputy helm leader is your pocket."

Yan Li's plan and calm tone gave Du Hong unparalleled confidence. But when things came to an end, he was a little nervous: What if the lord miscalculated and the deputy lord flew away?

"Well, so what if there is no deputy helm leader?" Du Hong said to himself, "This is the time, and that is the time. This young hero is already a master of blood exchange and his value is different. Zou Tong cannot deal with me at will. Who is the helm leader and how can I stand with me?"

Thinking of this, Du Hong's steps became lighter and more relaxed, and he headed straight to the dock.

Poor Du Hong. He didn't know at all. Not to mention the position of the deputy lord, even his life almost flew away when the medicine was tested last night!

When Du Hong arrived at the pier, it was still a little earlier. Yu Changhe's people had not arrived yet, but the pier was already busy.

When a gang member saw Du Xueyi, he immediately came over to say hello: "Oh, Senior Brother Du! Are you here to find Master Zou this morning?"

Du Hong was stunned when he heard this, thinking that why Zou Tong was here too? He didn't show any expression on the surface, and after saying hello, he asked, "Why, isn't Zou's master in charge?"

"Don't you know?" The crowd didn't take it seriously, and replied casually, "Zou Duozhu came to the warehouse yesterday! He still has to continue today, and he doesn't know what is the warehouse. What's the matter?..."

News of Zou Tong and Du Hong's disagreement have spread. The prestige of the innate masters has plummeted, and the gang members dare to gossip behind their backs.

Du Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this. As a playboy, he had no other skills, but he was naturally sensitive to money. Otherwise, he would have been teased by Yan Li's words "The sword can be without a sharp edge, but the hero can't have a bone" and he would still think of using a bitter trick to embezzle him?

When he heard that Zou Tong was at the dock for two consecutive days, he immediately thought excitedly: Zou Tong, an old man, couldn't hold back! He came to the dock warehouse? Bah! He must have come to move the animal resources and was about to sell them, and he ran away with corruption and escape! He just stood on the dock like this, wouldn't he be hit by his uncle's man?

No wonder, my lord asked me to act like that scene yesterday, not only to shave Zou Tong's face and take advantage of him, but also to alert the enemy with one move, allowing this old man to make evidence himself!

Lord, God’s calculations! Now you can even save excuses!

"Hahaha..." Du Hong couldn't help laughing out loud. When he saw the gang members' puzzled eyes, he suddenly woke up and immediately remedy, "Zou Du is diligent, so Du won't bother him. In fact, I occasionally realized something last night and my martial arts made progress. I couldn't help but think of walking by the river!"

He said, and his fingers emitted a pure sword light of about an inch long.

When the nearby gang members saw it, they all started to congratulate: "It turns out that Senior Brother Du has advanced to change blood! It's so great. Congratulations to Senior Brother, congratulations to Senior Brother!"

"Hahaha... I'm busy with you, don't worry about me. Du just feels in a special mood and wants to see the river view."

Du Hong watched the news of his breakthrough happily spread, and he was fantasizing: Zou Tong didn't know what expression he looked like when he heard the news? It's a pity that he couldn't see it!

However, no matter what Zou Tong thought, he couldn't jump for long!

He stood by Jianchuan, looking into the distance, but he listened to the increasingly noisy voices behind him, and kept calculating the time in his heart, and felt a little anxious.

"If the lord miscalculates... although that's almost impossible..."

Just as Du Hong's heart was like waves, one after another, a fast ship with the banner of the Hengjiang Gang fish and dragon was flying in the distance.

When Du Hong saw the banner, he was so surprised that he breathed a sigh of surprise: "Wow... it's really here..."

Immediately afterwards, he heard the noise behind him, and countless gangs exclaimed:

"A boat has come, it is the banner of our gang..."

"It's not only the banner of our gang, but also the banner of the gang leader!"

"This boat is so fast, well, look, who is the person on the bow?"

...

I saw a person standing on the crane boat riding the wind and waves. He was wearing a white knight's robe and covered with a light green wave hero cloak. He stood with his hands behind his back. He was heroic and majestic.

Du Hong's eyesight was far beyond ordinary gang members. He had already seen the visitor clearly and couldn't help but feel happy: "It turned out to be him! Sure enough, my lord can't escape! The lord is a real god!"

——…—

Wind and fire forged, Yanli courtyard.

Early in the morning, Yan Li also welcomed the expected visitors.

The two brothers Shang Shao-chung.

It took too early, and the tea was placed on it. Han Xi and Gui Yun were always there, and only Duan Yan, who was having a social gathering and banquet, was not there.

Shang Shaoqing has been busy with the evacuation of the descendants of King Shangwu these days. He has been very troublesome and finally made arrangements. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and took Shang Shaohong to Fenghuo to relax.

At present, in Jianchuan City, there are only Shang Shaoqing, Shang Shaohong, and Yan Li left in the blood of King Shang. The former two brothers must be kept temporarily to attract attention. When the other retreat routes are safe, they will disappear from everyone's sight.

The courage and responsibility of the king's direct descendants in person is also the courage and responsibility of the king's direct descendants.

As for Yan Li... Master Yan is famous and currently has protection from Zhuchan Temple. He will go to the Sky Creep Gate next year and there is no need to consider evacuation.

The evacuated personnel were mainly divided into two routes. One way to Chijia City, which borders Nanchu and the Wu tribe. It is the guard of the Chiling Army, which is currently under the wings of King Shangwu's old subordinates. The other route retreats to a remote village on the southeast coast, called Bailangsha. The area here is remote and difficult to find. It is located outside the sight of various forces. Although the conditions are poor, it is better to be free.

After listening to his brief description of what to do, Yan Li felt that there were some problems. However, it was not up to him, and there was no need for him to interfere.

After Shang Shaoqing finished talking about this matter, he seemed to put down a big stone in his heart and instead talked about the Hengjiang Gang. He was also a smart person and had no meaning to Zou Tong's rebellious gang, so he could only express his conscience to Yan Li's ability to layout. However, he was not optimistic about Du Hong.

If you use the earth term to compare Shang Shao-chung and Du Hong, it is a pair of distinct antonyms:

The former is a tall, rich and handsome family background. Although it has become a skeleton of a tall, rich and handsome man; the latter is a poor, rich and handsome man who has a long history of poverty. Even if he dresses up as a tall, rich and handsome man, he cannot escape his natural fate of a hungry silk.

"It's cheap Du Hong, this waste." Shang Shaoqing sighed.

"Haha, the waste is easy to control." Yan Li smiled. "He exposes the conspiracy of Zou Tong's rebel gang and makes great contributions. In addition, the new helm leader has just gained a foothold and needs Du Hong's Jianchuan connections. The deputy helm leader has no problem. But if he wants to firmly sit in the position of the deputy helm leader, he must rely on us."

"Yeah." Shang Shaoqing nodded, "What my brother said is very much. I didn't expect that the Hengjiang Gang was Jinxiu Palace! These bitches have always disguised themselves very well. We have not been able to catch the fox's tail for decades, and we didn't expect that they would hide here!"

As the direct lineage of King Shangwu, Shang Shaoqing hated Jinxiu Palace even more!

He paused and asked, "I'm curious, who will be the new helm leader? Can a mere Du Hong really compete with him and find out the secret?"

"Haha..." Yan Li smiled, "The information from the Hengjiang Gang was given to me by my brother. I might as well guess who this person would be?"

"Well... it must be someone Yu Changhe trusts extremely, and can even share some secrets of Jinxiu Palace. It must be on the table, which is enough to compete with Zou Tong..." Shang Shaoqing frowned and thought, "If Yu Changhe wants to ensure his position, he must ensure that this person will not take over Jianchuan's advantage and climb onto his head... This..."

He paused and shook his head and said, "It's too difficult to find such a person, especially when it comes to Jinxiu Palace, so Yu Changhe cannot easily trust others. Could it be...will he be in charge in person?"

Although no answer was found, Shang Shaoqing had a clear idea and was only one step away from the truth.

"If possible, Yu Changhe will of course be in charge." Yan Li nodded, "but he can't come."

"Oh?" Shang Shaoqing couldn't understand why Yan Li was so sure.

Yan Li took a sip of tea calmly, giving the other party enough time to think, and then slowly spit out four words:

"Songxing the ancient road."

"So that's it." Shang Shaoqing suddenly realized, "It's Brother Yu's eyes that are limited!"

Western Qin has always maintained trade with Dongqi and the Eastern countries through the ancient Tea-Horse Road in Songshan. The river channel of Hengjiang Gang will inevitably attack the horse gang on Songshan’s ancient road, and both sides will be in the same situation as water and fire. Yu Changhe must be in charge of the head of the Western Qin, and it is impossible to split the Jianchuan.

"Who could that be?"

"Actually, the answer is about to come out." Yan Li smiled and revealed the mystery. "Yu Changhe's hardcore confidant can share all the secrets of Jinxiu Palace and have enough reputation to command the Jianchuan branch. He will never secretly plan to usurp the throne of the gang leader. There is only one person - his biological son, Du Hong's cousin, Yu Wenlong."

"But... Yu Wenlong only has the peak level of blood exchange at most. How can he deal with Zou Tong? How can he act in Jianchuan, where there are many experts? He can't handle it with Fu Jingshui alone." Shang Shaoqing said in confusion.

"With the financial resources and backstage of the Hengjiang Gang, is it difficult to hire a conservative innate offering?" Yan Li said leisurely.

"Miracle! It's really wonderful!" Shang Shaoqing stretched his sword eyebrows and exclaimed repeatedly.

——…—

While chatting during the wind and fire, the highly anticipated fast ship finally docked on the dock.

Du Hong couldn't wait, happily spread his body, jumped onto the bow of the boat, and shouted loudly:

"Cousin, I miss you so much!!!"
