I'm the best catcher in martial arts

After sending Feng Suzhen back to Hangzhou, Shen Lian first rushed north to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then asked the Shen family's caravan to arrange a large ship to rush to Nanjinguan in Yichang.

Perhaps due to Chen Youliang's stimulation, or perhaps due to fate, the Ming Dynasty's waterways were extremely developed.

Whether it is the dams and villages on the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers or various types of ships, they are all top-notch in the world.

Without a developed shipbuilding industry, how could Zheng He's magnificent voyages to the West have been achieved? This astonishing voyage is the best expression of national power.

An industry like shipbuilding is definitely not just a few companies, a few departments, and a few technologies, but a collective effort, which is the essence of an industrial pearl.

Since Shen Wansan lived overseas, the Shen family's main business was shipping business, and the ships were fast, big and good.

Going to Yichang by water is actually more convenient than riding a horse. The only drawback is seasickness.

Shen Lian was naturally not seasick, but every time he took a boat, he would think of Lu Xiaofeng, this carefree little phoenix, who was drowned when he reached the waterway.

No matter whether it is the Yangtze River or going to sea by boat, it is never smooth. Not only do you get seasick every time, but you are bound to encounter disasters. In all likelihood, the boat will be destroyed and people will die.

Most businessmen like to have master knights accompanying them, who can serve as bodyguards, but businessmen who travel by water...

——Lu Xiaofeng is the biggest broom star.

Water transportation is relatively dangerous. Regardless of whether you believe in gods or Buddhas, you will always seek good luck. Unlucky people like Lu Xiaofeng basically cannot get on the ship.

If you want to trick someone, you can throw Lu Xiaofeng on their boat. It will definitely be very interesting.

Shen Lian stood at the bow of the ship, stroking his stubble, wondering if he should ask Lu Xiaofeng for help. He didn't need to do anything else, just go for a spin on King Zhu Dayan's black water giant ship.

Tantai Jingming stood beside Shen Lian.

She was pretending to be in seclusion and practicing martial arts in Feng Mansion. She had already suppressed her energy, and she would definitely go out with Shen Lian this time.

Tantai Jingming grew up by the lake since he was a child. He is a mermaid in the sea, and water battles are no problem.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

"I miss Lu Xiaofeng."

Tantai Jingming: (╬￣ Pan￣)

I'm by your side, but you want Lu Xiaofeng?

I remember that Lu Xiaofeng's reputation on the waterway was worse than that of a broom star, and it almost became a taboo word.

If you sail on the water and say forbidden words, you will be thrown down to sacrifice to the Dragon King. Do you want to see the Dragon King?

Even if I think about it, I should still think about Chu Liuxiang!

Chu Liuxiang’s water-based product is the best in the world!

"Husband, you just came back from Shu and started taking a boat again. Didn't you think of some allusions? It's been a long time since I told you a story. Tell me a story!"

Tantai Jingming leaned on Shen Lian's shoulder, waiting to hear Shen Lian's story. Shen Lian was very good at telling stories, especially stories that seemed strange but were actually very reasonable.

Is there any allusion between the land of Shu and sailing?

Sichuan and Sichuan are mountainous. Although there are big rivers, most of them are by land. What does it have to do with sailing?

It really does matter.

When it comes to Sichuan and Shu, one person has to be mentioned.

Zhuge Liang!

It is said that Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and seven times. When the boat encountered storms on the water, according to the folk customs at that time, human heads should be sacrificed to the river god to appease the river god's anger.

Zhuge Liang couldn't bear to kill innocent soldiers, so he made human heads out of flour as a sacrifice to the river god.

Later, the story spread, and the big round lump made of flour gradually became a staple food. This is the famous steamed bun, and the stuffing is steamed bun.

Shen Lian has not verified whether Zhuge Liang invented steamed buns, nor does he need to verify it. He can just listen to the story. However, when Shen Lian tells the story, he will definitely not tell it like this, but about Zhuge Liang's cook.

"There were two cooks in Marquis Wu's family, one surnamed Bai and the other surnamed Luo. Later, the two families merged. Since it was the one surnamed Luo who married into the Bai family, they were known as the Bai Luo family.

The steamed buns used to worship the river god were made by the Bailuo family. They took this as an honor and studied how to make better-tasting steamed buns for generations.

It is said that the steamed buns made by the Bailuo family have the effect of calming the mind, calming the restless mind, and even calming the rolling waves of the sea.

Jingming, you should know that making steamed buns requires dough. Many chefs like to leave a piece of dough and add it to the next time they knead the dough.

This kind of remaining noodles is called noodle fertilizer, and it is also called old noodle in some places. It is the best material for making noodles.

It is said that the Bailuo family has an old noodle that has been passed down from the Three Kingdoms period to this day, called Shuhan old noodles. "

Tantai Jingming curled his lips when he heard this: "Things that have been passed down for more than a thousand years have already become moldy, right?"

Shen Lian explained: "That's wrong. Every time you make steamed buns, the old noodles are kneaded into the dough, and then a piece of the new dough is left. As long as the inheritance of the Bailuo family is not cut off, and they often make steamed buns, their old noodles will be Fresh, never a musty antique.”

When Shen Lian was watching anime, he thought it was nonsense, until many years later, broth from the Western Zhou Dynasty was unearthed from a tomb in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Fortunately, it is the Age of Ending Dharma, otherwise if this thing were put into the world of immortality, the effect would be comparable to Tang Monk Meat.

"Is there really a Poirot family in the world?"

"I just heard about it, Jing Ming, you know my hobbies. Apart from beauty, I also love delicious food. I will definitely not miss out on all kinds of delicious food."

"Are the girls from the Poirot family pretty?"

"I heard Lu Xiaofeng say that the best person in the Bailuo family who is good at making steamed buns is an old man. He is eighty or ninety years old. His hair is all white and his face is covered with dead tree bark."

"How does Lu Xiaofeng know so much?"

"He was afraid that someone would throw him overboard when he was on the boat, so he checked a lot of information. If he encountered a shipwreck, he would make some soul-stirring steamed buns as a sacrifice."

Lu Xiaofeng, who was thousands of miles away, was learning to make steamed buns at the God of Food Residence when he suddenly sneezed and thought to himself that the spring cold was really serious and I actually caught a cold.

It’s better to practice making steamed buns more!

Lest you really get thrown overboard one day!

Where are those Bao Luo's houses and those Four Gods Seafood and Eight Treasures Soul-Soothing Steamed Buns that Shen Lian mentioned? He didn’t even know about Dazhi Datong!

Isn't it Shen Lian who made this nonsense?

Ah sneeze~~

Who is thinking about me?

…

Zhu Xiawu has been very depressed recently.

He is now very, very, very sure, confirming important things three times, and finally can fully believe that Shen Lian is a tiger that eats people without spitting out bones.

Greedy, bloodthirsty, ferocious, insidious, and cunning.

Shen Lian probably didn't guess his identity, but he must have known that he was colluding with Heishui Dao. Not only did he blame Heishui Dao for the Tang Sect's treasure house, but he also asked him to take action as a vanguard officer, and even requested the emperor's order.

Zhu Xiawu understood that Shen Lian was doubting him.

Zhu Xiawu understood better that once doubt begins, it will never stop, just like if you doubt the hardness of a wooden board, then the wooden board is destined to break.

You will try again and again until the board is blown to pieces, then you will clench your fists and say with some regret: "I would have stopped if I had known better."

stop?

How could it stop?

This thing has only a beginning and an end, and there is a continuous process in the middle, with absolutely no pauses.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiawu slightly regretted it.

If I had known today, I should have killed Shen Lian.

"Ahem~~"

Zhu Xiawu coughed twice and covered his chest. Shen Lian's Tiger Roaring Emperor Fist was too explosive. Even with Yi Jin Zhenqi to heal the injury, he could still feel the sting.

Especially the lungs that were shocked by the fists often hurt and itched, and I couldn't help but want to cough.

When you cough, you can smell a fishy-sweet smell.

What a terrifying fist!

Shen Lian, since you don't know good from evil, I will completely destroy you. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is your burial place. Just go to the bottom of the Yangtze River to feed the fish!

Zhu Xiawu clenched his fists tightly and made a plan to lose his car but save his commander, burn both jade and stone, and make a comeback.

He has endured it for so many years, so he can naturally continue to endure it. The Blackwater Road can be temporarily destroyed, but Shen Lian must die and must not be allowed to live.

Zhu Xiawu silently calculated in his mind which masters should be kept and which masters should be allowed to die.

Heishui Dao is now a big tree, so it is better to use Shen Lian's hand to break it into pieces, transfer the most loyal, elite and smart subordinates, and let them sneak into the Nu Jiao Gang.

When the Black Waterway is destroyed, the most powerful waterway hero in the Yangtze River is the Nujiao Gang. If a dragon has regrets, he will inevitably suffer disaster. Take this opportunity to let the subordinates who have sneaked into the Nujiao Gang win over the managers and occupy the magpie's nest...

Zhu Xiawu quickly formulated a plan.

1. Attack, destroy the Black Water Path, and exchange the lives of 90% of the masters of the Black Water Path for Shen Lian's life;

2. Hibernation, the subordinates break into pieces and sneak into the Nu Jiao Gang, focusing on hiding and not doing anything;

3. Undercurrent, secretly guiding the court to suppress the Nujiao Gang, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Shangguan Fei, let the young Shangguan Ying take over as the gang leader, and stimulate his ambition;

4. Gain momentum, secretly seduce Shangguan Ying, make him feel that Lang Fanyun and Ling Zhantian are shackles, drive a wedge between the two generations of the Nujiao Gang, and take the opportunity to win over the elite;

5. Launch, and when things break out completely, let the forces that covet the Nujiao Gang launch an attack on the Nujiao Gang and severely damage the management of the Nujiao Gang;

6. Harvest, two tigers fight, the hunter gains the advantage, the dove takes over the magpie's nest, takes the Angry Jiao Gang under his command, converts the Black Water Channel into the Angry Jiao Gang, and occupies the treasured land of Dongting Lake;

This matter will take at least five years, cost millions of silver, and require Zhu Xiawu's personal assassination, especially Shangguan Fei, Lang Fanyun and Ling Zhantian, who must be killed with one blow.

Shangguan Fei is reckless, Lang Fanyun attaches great importance to love, and Ling Zhantian attaches great importance to righteousness. If he can plan according to this, there is no chance of success. Zhu Xiawu had planned this a few years ago, but he has not yet launched it.

The Nujiao Gang and Heishui Road were fighting each other, and the two sides were ambushing each other's spies. Zhu Xiawu was worried that an independent family would attract a blow from the court, so he did not take action.

If Zhu Xiawu really launched an assassination, Lang Fanyun could fight back with his peerless martial arts, Ling Zhantian might be able to spy on the traces, but Shangguan Fei would probably not be able to escape the assassination.

The layout back then is working wonders now.

Especially the few spies from the Angry Dragon Gang who stayed in the Blackwater Channel were of great use.

Zhu Xiawu needed them to spread the news and tell the Nujiao Gang that the imperial court was going to destroy the Black Water Road and lure the Nujiao Gang to come over and take advantage after the fierce battle. This way, he could take the opportunity to ambush undercover agents and keep them dormant for three years.

Three years later, trust is gained...

Countless plans flashed through Zhu Xiawu's mind.

As one of the most cunning heroes in the world, Zhu Xiawu's decisiveness and far-reaching layout are really amazing. He never feels excited or depressed because of temporary gains and losses. The ups and downs of life are like the mighty Yangtze River. What's wrong? Can't make it?

Temporary gains and losses cannot determine success or failure.

The real hero is the one who laughs last.

In this round, it is still unclear who will win.

Shen Lian, let’s have some fun!

…

Shen Lian didn't know Zhu Xiawu's plan and was busy receiving his elder brother. The meeting point agreed by Shen Lian was Yichang, between Jingzhou and Xiangyang, Shen Yumen's territory.

Shen Yumen has been a good husband at home recently and is waiting for the birth of his child. Although this is very happy, it is really boring for the lively and active Shen Yumen.

Last time, Shen Lian went to Shuzhong to deal with Tang Clan and refused Shen Yumen's help because of the distance. He just asked Shen Yumen to write a letter asking for help. Now at home, if he refuses again, Shen Yumen will definitely get angry.

"Brother, you look good!"

Since all the sisters-in-law are pregnant, Shen Yumen does not have to work hard every night. Relying on the powerful recovery effect of Nine Yang Magic, Shen Yumen is no longer depressed.

The disadvantages are also very obvious.

That's the thought of flirting with women.

Therefore, when Shen Yumen went out, he was accompanied by two maids, Narcissus and Peony. They held the eldest lady's gold medal arrow in their hands, and they were absolutely following him everywhere.

Another disadvantage lies in Shen Lian. Feng Siniang looked at Shen Lian as if she wanted to eat someone.

Feng Siniang is thirty-two years old this year. In this era where people can get married in their teens, if she is over thirty but has no children, even a martial artist will be rolled their eyes. Feng Siniang really can’t stand it. live.

Tantai Jingming is more open-minded about this and feels that it doesn't matter at all. She is still young anyway.

Shen Yumen took a long breath: "Although I am comfortable at home, I still want to go out and walk around. It really suffocates me. I have been at home for more than five months, and it feels like I have been in prison for 500 years. I am almost repairing." The immortal has become a Buddha."

Shen Lian snorted coldly: "Brother, even if you really become a god, you will only be Bima Wen at best."

"what do you?"

"Of course the Heavenly God of War, the White Tiger Star Lord, the God of Law Enforcement, the Demon-Suppressing Emperor..."

"Believe it or not, I threw you into the water?"

"Brother, in other places, there would be no difference between us in a fight, but in the water, your water skills are definitely not as good as mine. I can beat you into a water monkey."

Shen Yumen can swim and does not get seasick, but his water skills are not very good and he is not good at water fighting.

"Second brother, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about our goal this time. The black water channel is not easy to deal with. If we are too careless, the boat will capsize in the sewer."

"So I asked Zhu Xiawu for help."

"Is Zhu Xiawu related to King Zhu Dayian? Although they both have the surname Zhu, this speculation is too nonsense."

"Of course it is related. I have evidence. The battle of Tang Clan is the evidence. Zhu Xiawu has a deep martial arts arsenal. Don't underestimate Zhu Xiawu, otherwise you will definitely suffer a big loss."

"What are you going to do?"

"Of course, let Senior Zhu be the pioneer."

Shen Lian took out a volume of imperial edict from his arms.

"This is the emperor's imperial edict, allowing me to handle this matter with full authority. Zhu Xiawu must obey the order!"
