protect our patriarch

Chapter 293 Fighting!The battle between the Wang family and the Jiaolong Gang

……

Changningwei, Ping'an Town, Dingpu Ferry.

The cement-hardened ferry road looks extraordinarily clean after the spring rain.

All the buildings in the port have been gradually replaced by cement brick and tile buildings. The pavements of the buildings are neatly arranged, as if they are in a certain port town on the modern earth.

After repeated expansions and renovations, today's Dingpu Ferry is not so much a "ferry" as it is a port on the Neijiang River.

Cargo ships docked at the ferry, transporting all kinds of medium and high-end living materials needed by the Wang family, such as salt, rough iron, refined copper, porcelain, cooking oil, and some special materials, etc.

Today, the small Ping'an Town has a permanent population of 11 and a floating population of no less than [-]. The degree of land development and population density are very high.

Moreover, the people in Ping'an Town are quite rich and have extremely high spending power.This has also attracted the frequent visits of large and small commercial firms, as well as traveling merchants.

Compared with more than [-] years ago, when Wang Shouzhe first took charge of the Ping'an Wang family, the weather is very different.

In addition, many casual cultivators would come to Ping'an Town to try their luck every day, or accept some tasks contracted by the Wang family, or go to adventure outside the territory in small groups.

Zhouxuan Pass has a radius of hundreds of miles, and has been wiped out by the Wang family and some in-laws and family members over and over again, and the beast has become a "rare commodity".In this way, the level of danger to casual cultivators becomes very low.

They searched for all the slightly valuable things outside the territory, such as ores, herbs, or the bones of beasts, spirit bee honey, honeycombs, or some strange insects and plants.In short, with enough people and the number of explorations, there will always be someone who is lucky enough to discover something of great value.

And all the items obtained from outside the Zhouxuan Pass will go through a round of screening after entering the pass. The things that are useful to the Wang family will be given priority by the Wang family and purchased at high prices, and the things that are useless to the Wang family will flow out of Pingan Town.

This is the rule established by the Changning Wang family.

All casual cultivators who go to other regions through Zhouxuan Pass need to sign a contract with Wang before they can get the qualification to leave the pass.

It's not that Wang's forced buying and selling, but that the Dagan law clearly stipulates that Wang already has such qualifications.This is also one of the benefits that the country bestows on the pioneering families.

Unless one day Outland is reclaimed by a certain family again, and Zhouxuan Pass will no longer be the gateway to Outland, otherwise the right of first repurchase will always belong to the Wang family.

Back then, when the Wang family fell and their strength was not enough to control Zhouxuan Pass, Zhouxuan Pass was forcibly used as a public gateway.Now, since the Wang family has become stronger again, this honor that should have belonged to the Wang family has naturally returned to the Wang family.

Of course, the Wang family only has the right of first refusal, and the price still has to be based on the market price.

With the long-term and unremitting efforts of the casual cultivators, Mrs. Wang has obtained a lot of good things over the years.

Dongfang Cangqiong and Ximen Buqun, a casual cultivator team, made a fortune this time.

Taking advantage of the small number of people a year ago, the two went out to Zhouxuan Pass for an adventure together.

In just two months, the two returned with a full load. The trophies included a wild ginseng and many valuable herbs. What's even more amazing is that they also picked up a ferocious beast claw with an unknown age. The claws are more than a foot long and can easily penetrate rocks.

Adding up all the messy things, Wang actually gave hundreds of dry gold.

After buying some special products in Ping'an Town, the two brothers were ready to go back to their hometown to settle down. Now they are queuing up at Dingpu Ferry, waiting to enter the ferry.

Dongfang Cangqiong is a middle-aged man in his forties with a shaggy beard.

Halfway through the line, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Brother Ximen, why is this ferry different from when we came here? Look at the two rows, is that statue covered with a red cloth?"

"Brother Dongfang." Ximen Buqun is five or sixty years old, with small eyes shining brightly, "When I was buying white jade spirit rice at Wang's Rice Shop just now, I heard some people talking about that thing called 'Shenwei Pao' , It is said that it is used by the Wang family to welcome distinguished guests."

"Shenwei cannon? I haven't heard of this thing~ Could it be something like a firecracker salute?" Dongfang Cangqiong frowned, deeply moved, "Brother Ximen, I have been running around in Longzuo County for many years, and I call myself I have learned a lot. But when I arrived in Ping'an Town, I realized that my knowledge was so shallow. This place is really full of wonders, and everything is magical. If it weren't for my hometown and my family, I really want to stay here for the rest of my life. Ping An Town."

"It's a pity that the house prices and land prices in Ping'an Town are too expensive, and some commoners are richer than us loose cultivators." Ximen Buqun regretted, "Besides, the household registration management in Ping'an Town is relatively strict, and it is very difficult for casual cultivators to settle down. ..."

"Brothers, you don't even know?" A 40-year-old peddler in the line of peddlers on the side said, "The Wang family has already heard the news that they are going to open up wasteland and build a city. Casual cultivators can also sign up to participate. Meritorious purchase of fields and farm houses."

Open up wasteland outside the territory?
Both Ximen Buqun and Dongfang Cangqiong's heart moved.

They have a lot of experience in adventure and strong ability to survive in the wild. If they join Wang's land reclamation team, they can make a lot of contributions if they don't keep them all.

They looked at each other and secretly made up their minds.After going back this time, they brought the whole family to Ping'an Town to apply for Wang's land reclamation team.

The Wang family is very powerful. Although there are various rules and regulations in their territory, their reputation is very good, and the people under their command have always followed the rules.Over time, Wang's prestige naturally increased day by day.

After some hustle and bustle, the ferry was full, and finally unanchored, and began to slowly go to the heart of the river.

On the boat, many low-level figures such as casual cultivators and traveling merchants were enthusiastically discussing Wang's plan to develop outside the territory.

Many of them showed great interest. After all, the Wang family has a good reputation, respects credibility, and is very generous.Normally, it is not easy for Sanxiu to join the Wang family, this is an opportunity to cling to the Wang family.

As for the risk... what is there to do without risk?Even if something went wrong unfortunately, Wang's pension is said to be very high...

Just when everyone was talking about it.

Suddenly.

Someone on the side of the ferry shouted: "Look, look, what a huge fleet."

The crowd fell silent, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.

I saw a mighty fleet appearing on the river not far away.Dozens of large and small warships lined up in a mighty manner, and from a distance, it was dark and majestic.

At the forefront of this fleet is a giant ship with an exceptionally large size and an exceptionally dark and gloomy color.

This tall ship was majestic, and there were still mottled knife marks and sword marks on the ship, and there was an imperceptible evil spirit, like some kind of prehistoric beast, with a kind of terrifying oppressive force that made one's heart palpitate.

Such a large and majestic fleet is extremely rare.

"This... This is the boat of the Jiaolong Gang!" Some well-informed veterans all exclaimed.

Flood Dragon Gang?
On the ferry, there was a continuous sound of exclamation.

"Brother Ximen, there seems to be something wrong." Dongfang Cangqiong is determined to join the Wang family, and has instinctively regarded the Wang family as one of his own, and his face suddenly became serious. From Dingpu Ferry..."

"This……"

Ximen Buqun was in his 60s and [-]s. Although his cultivation was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm, he had accumulated a lot of knowledge during his travels.

There was a sudden shudder in his heart: "The semaphore of the fleet has changed, it seems to be steering towards us."

Don't wait for them to think too much.

Suddenly, a mighty shout came from the fleet of the Jiaolong Gang: "I am Du Tiangang, the third head of the Jiaolong Gang, and I am here to visit the Wang family of Changning as promised."

As soon as the words fell, a majestic coercion of heaven and man suddenly rose from the fleet of the Flood Dragon Gang, domineering and breathtaking.

It suddenly swayed like a thunderbolt, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, and the surging waves on the river surface were also stimulated to become more and more violent, and even the sound of the waves became more and more violent.

Several people standing close to the ship's side were directly splashed by the river water.

"Du Tiangang?" Dongfang Cangqiong's body shook, and he lost his voice, "It turned out to be Du Tiangang who is known as the 'Tu Lingshou'. It seems that the visitor is not kind~~"

The Jiaolong Gang has been rampant in Anjiang for hundreds of years, and their reputation is far greater than that of Changning Wang's.

The third master of this generation, "Tu Ling Shou" Du Tiangang is extremely famous. It is said that he has been promoted to the late stage of the Celestial Realm, and his unique skill "Tu Ling Shou" has already killed several monks in the Celestial Realm.

The most frightening thing is that Du Tiangang is extremely difficult and cruel.Even if the seventh-rank family offends him, they will tremble with fear and cannot sleep at night.

The Wang family actually offended the Jiaolong Gang?The army of the Jiaolong Gang suppressed the situation and came to demonstrate and ask for accountability?
For a while, many people on the ferry who had their hearts attached to Wang's could not help but worry about Wang's.Although the Wang family has risen rapidly and is quite powerful, they are not at the same level as the Jiaolong Gang.

There were also some who were secretly dissatisfied with the Wang family, and they all showed gloating and mocking expressions.They really want to see if the Wang family, who has many rules and ruthless rules, will remain stubborn under the censure of the Jiaolong Gang?

"Woo~~~"

All of a sudden, a loud horn sounded, shaking people's hearts.

Simultaneously.

At the Dingpu Ferry, there was also a slightly old but extremely deep voice: "The distinguished guests of the Jiaolong Gang are here, welcome them, and set off a salute."

"Welcome? Fire a salute?"

Hearing this sound, the eyes of many members of the Flood Dragon Gang's brave and brave gang showed disdain on the first angry dragon battleship.

Ma Junxiong, the commander of the battleship, a bearded and strong man in the middle of the Lingtai Realm, even curled his lips and poohed: "What Changning Wang family, a seventh-rank family? It's just one word, counsel!"

"Hey, in front of my Jiaolong Gang, mere seventh-rank is nothing."

"Don't say that our army is suppressing the border, it is Commander Lian Ma who brought one of our warships to hold us accountable. See how arrogant the Wang family is?"

"Hahaha!"

On the battleship of Nu Jiao, there was laughter from each of them.

Those laughing sounds spread to the ferry along with the river wind.

Many people on the ferry were inextricably related to the Wang family, and they all showed resentment when they heard the words.It's just that the strength gap between the two sides is too large, no matter how much dissatisfaction there is, they can only swallow it back.

Suddenly.

The red cloth covering the Shenwei guns on both sides of Dingpu Ferry was torn off, revealing the thick and domineering black barrels.

"Fire, salvo, salute!"

Boom boom boom!
A door-to-door cannon made a thunderous roar.

Solid cannonballs shot out one after another, drawing invisible arcs in the air, and rushed towards the Flood Dragon Gang's fleet fiercely.

Because the speed of these shells was so fast, the gang members of the Jiaolong Gang didn't know what happened, they just saw flames spraying from the ferry from a distance.

It was not until a few breaths later that the thunderous explosion sound reached their ears.

At the same time, huge splashes of water have exploded on the water in front of their fleet!
The speed of the cannonball is no less than the sound!

One of the shells, because the angle and the amount of gunpowder were not adjusted, directly "boomed" through the cabin of Ma Junxiong's angry battleship.

The huge impact shook the pieces of wood, and the hull shook.

"Shh!"

The gang members on the Nu Jiao battleship suddenly turned pale with shock.

Is this some kind of lightning attack formation?If any of them stood a little closer to the hole just now, wouldn't they be smashed to pieces?
all of a sudden.

The sneering and mocking voices from the Nu Jiao Gang stopped abruptly.

The entire fleet fell into an eerie silence, only the whirring of Jiang Feng continued, which was particularly ear-piercing.

The casual cultivators and traveling merchants on the ferry were also taken aback, but the next moment, they reacted and immediately cheered loudly.

As expected of the Changning Wang family, this is not a salute to welcome guests, it is clearly a big blow!
Changning Wang is too domineering!How dare you confront the Jiaolong Gang head-on!This, this, is this the rhythm of the two sides going to war?
at the same time.

In that huge building boat, Long Wuji's slightly closed eyes also slightly opened.

He was reclining in the luxurious chair, still with that lazy and casual look, but he was naturally bold and gangster, full of an unspeakable strong oppressive force.

But at this moment, there was also some surprise on his face.

Obviously, the sound and power of the Shenwei Cannon somewhat exceeded his expectations.

"It seems that it is the mighty cannon that appeared in the Donggang naval battle." Jiang Yusong, who was dressed as a scribe, frowned slightly. "It looks quite powerful. If this cannon is scaled up, its power should not be underestimated."

"It's just a weakened copy of the popular spirit array cannon in Tianji Prefecture." Long Wuji narrowed his eyes again, as if he didn't care, "This thing is clumsy and inconvenient to move, and it's extremely slow to reload. Realm cultivators can easily destroy them."

"Big masters, what Wang's doing is nothing more than stubborn resistance." Jiang Yusong cupped his hands and advised, "This subordinate suggests that the three masters should come forward to provoke again and give Wang a face."

"Sure." Long Wuji smiled heartily, "Third brother, go meet Wang for a while and see what they can do?"

Du Tiangang, the top three masters of the Jiaolong Gang, is a strong man who is five big and three thick, with a height of eight feet, and a body full of tendons, except for his hands, which are as white as jade. He looks completely different from him.

This is the result of his practice of the special profound skill "Tu Ling Shou".

Du Tiangang said "here", then sneered, and continued to raise his voice: "I am Du Tiangang, the third head of the Jiaolong Gang. Since the Wang family has already fired the salute, why didn't Wang Shouzhe come to welcome the head?"

His voice exploded in the air like a thunderbolt, and spread far away in an instant.

Hearing this, the crowd on the ferry and onlookers at the ferry showed indignation towards the Wang family.

No matter how powerful you are, Du Tiangang, you are only the third leader of the Jiaolong Gang~
Between power and power, the emphasis is on equal reception.

Du Tiangang reprimanded the Wang family and Wang Shouzhe for not coming to pick him up. Could it be that he is very self-confident and thinks the Wang family is extremely flat?Moreover, this statement has a serious provocative flavor.

After Du Tiangang finished speaking, he sneered sneeringly: "The Wang family is just a newly promoted seventh-rank family, and only Wang Longyan is said to have some skills. Hehe, just let the head of the family see how powerful she is."

"Hehe~ We have three masters, and the Wang family must have an ancestor to cope with it." All the great leaders laughed, "The seventh-rank family is only seventh-rank after all, and even the monks in the heavenly realm can't make a pair."

However, just when they thought that the Wang family was insulted, it must be Wang Longyan who fought.

The old man's voice sounded again: "What kind of person is my Patriarch Wang? It's your turn to be a mere 'Tu Lingshou' here to point fingers? Du Tiangang, if your hands are itchy, let the old servant come and meet you!"

As soon as the words fell, an old man suddenly flew up from the Dingpu Ferry, and Ling Xu stepped onto Anjiang.

This old man is dressed in plain soap clothes, looks like an ordinary old servant, but his aura is surging like a river, even if he just stands there, doing nothing, it gives people an unfathomable feeling Feel.

This old man is actually Shang Jiping, the elder of Zifu Academy, the old servant hand-picked by Tianhe Immortal to Wang Liyao!
