Chapter 21: The Viper Gang, Pirates
Leaving Chen's Restaurant.
Cao Rui and Tang Yueming went straight to Lianhua County Pier to take a boat to Heishui Town.
The Luoshui area has many waterways, which can indeed save a lot of effort.
In the afternoon, Cao Rui and Tang Yueming got off the boat at the Heishui Town Pier.
The New Year has passed, and the roads in Heishui Town are full of remnants of various firecrackers.
However, Heishui Town is just a small town after all, and its liveliness is still incomparable to Lianhua County.
Gangs.
The main force of the Giant Whale Gang is still in Ningyuan County, and they didn't even come back for the New Year.
The main force of the Giant Whale Gang has a good record in Ningyuan County.
Today, the Giant Whale Gang has completely become one of the two major forces in Ningyuan County.
After absorbing the local masters of Ningyuan County, the number of incense masters has more than doubled.
At present, the Giant Whale Gang is competing with another gang, the Viper Gang, in Ningyuan County.
The two gangs are incompatible, and Cao Rui believes that a full-scale war will break out in a short time.
It is rumored that the [Yanyu Sword Technique] of Yu Yijian, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, has already reached its peak, and some first-class masters may not necessarily be his opponents.
Coupled with the dedicated assistance of the former leader Ma Xuan, the Giant Whale Gang is more united and powerful than ever before.
The stronger the Giant Whale Gang is, the more Cao Rui, who is in the rear, can immerse himself in the life of cultivating immortals, which he has not yet officially entered.
All he needs to do every day is to practice to increase his experience points.
Twelve hours a day.
Three hours of sleep.
Five hours of practicing Mingyu Gong.
The remaining four hours of practicing eating, drinking, defecating, practicing Zhishui Jue and three martial arts.
Now it is clear that the experience value of Mingyu Gong increases very slowly.
It will take several years to cultivate the experience required for the first level.
And Cao Rui is now in the martial arts world, so it is necessary to spend four hours practicing martial arts to improve his survivability.
The accumulation speed of experience points for the sixth level of Zhishui Jue has also begun to slow down.
Judging from the growth rate of experience points, Cao Rui estimates that he will not be able to collect them until summer.
Of course, taking the corresponding elixir can also increase the growth rate of experience points.
It's a pity that Cao Rui is a small gang leader, and his monthly salary is so little.
There is not much money to buy elixirs in exchange for experience points.
After the sixth level of Zhishui Jue, he has more than 30 years of skill.
In terms of internal strength years, he can be regarded as a first-class master in the world.
Coupled with the martial arts secrets cultivated with experience points, Cao Rui's strength will be further improved.
......
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Early spring is here, and the weather is gradually not so cold.
(The last day of December in this world is the end of the year, 234 is spring, and the rest of the months are postponed)
Cao Rui is still leisurely immersed in daily practice.
Even his gang members began to practice hard every day.
Especially Tang Yueming, limited by his talent, his internal strength progress is very slow.
But under Cao Rui's guidance, [Mad Wolf Swordsmanship] has begun to move towards a small success.
If he really cultivated a sword technique to a small degree, then Tang Yueming would also be qualified to become the incense master.
Just as Cao Rui guessed.
Almost as soon as the Chinese New Year was over.
The Giant Whale Gang and the Viper Gang started fighting.
There was a big fight every ten days and a small fight every three days.
Various small frictions were continuous.
The whole Ningyuan County was bloody.
Ordinary people did not dare to go out after dark.
Cao Rui was free, but Xiong Mingfang, another incense master of the Giant Whale Gang in Heishui Town, was quite busy recently.
He needed to gather the supplies in Heishui Town and then send people to transport them to Ningyuan County to supply the main force of Ningyuan County for the war.
After offending Cao Rui last time, Xiong Mingfang was embarrassed to ask Cao Rui for help.
And Xiong Fangming was a man who thought he was powerful.
So he was in charge of this matter.
It took about half a month to collect the supplies and transport them once.
The supplies included various weapons, cultivation and healing pills, etc.
Xiong Mingfang had delivered the supplies twice before, and nothing happened.
But today, the third time, something unexpected happened.
"What?! The supplies were robbed?"
"Who dares to rob our Giant Whale Gang's supplies in the nearby river?"
"Did you tell us the name of our Giant Whale Gang?" Xiong Fangming grabbed the collar of his gang member, his face full of anger.
The gang member was terrified, but still said, "I told them, but they still did it, and killed several of us!"
"We jumped off the boat to escape..."
...
After a long time, Xiong Mingfang, who had learned the details, finally let the gang member leave.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the work of a strange pirate who just wandered here." Xiong Mingfang thought.
"According to what they said, the leader of that group of pirates is at least a second-rate master!"
"If the gang leader knows about this, I'm done... I have to find a way to get the supplies back."
Xiong Mingfang knew that he could never get the supplies back by himself.
"I have to ask Cao Rui for help in this matter."
Gritting his teeth, Xiong Fangming walked towards Youquan Street in Heishui Town.
At this time.
Cao Rui was practicing the Misty Rain Sword Technique at the base.
There is still a little short of the experience value of the Misty Rain Sword Technique to be full.
After the experience value is full, the Misty Rain Sword Technique should be able to enter the realm of transformation.
In the realm of transformation martial arts, every move contains great power.
After the practice was over.
Xiong Mingfang just arrived at the backyard of Youquan Restaurant.
"Cao Rui, I'm in trouble, help me!" Xiong Mingfang was smart this time and asked for help directly.
Cao Rui sheathed the Youquan Sword, sat down at a table and poured himself a glass of water to moisten his dry throat after practicing.
"Are you looking for my help? Master Xiong, what happened to you?"
Cao Rui looked at Xiong Mingfang's flustered face and vaguely guessed that it should be related to the supplies, after all, Xiong Mingfang was in charge of this matter recently.
Sure enough, Xiong Mingfang told him that the supplies were robbed by pirates.
"The gang leader and his men are fighting the Viper Gang in Ningyuan County, so we can't disturb them."
"I have more than ten good fighters under my command. With your help, Cao Rui, we can definitely defeat the pirates and get the supplies back."
"Cao Rui, what do you think? Are you willing to help?"
Cao Rui thought for a while and said, "The supplies were taken away. This is the business of the Giant Whale Gang. As the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, I certainly can't ignore this matter."
Seeing Cao Rui's attitude, Xiong Mingfang was delighted: "That's great!"
"Shall we set off immediately?"
Cao Rui said, "How many speedboats have you prepared? Have you found out the pirates' flags and nests?"
Xiong Mingfang's face froze and he shook his head.
"Get these things done before tonight, and we will gather at the dock tomorrow morning to set off."
"Remember, you must prepare small and flexible speedboats, and the approximate range of the pirates can be determined." Cao Rui said.
Xiong Mingfang nodded, thinking that although Cao Rui was young, he was very calm, brave and resourceful. He had underestimated Cao Rui before.
“Thanks for the reminder. I will prepare it now!”
Xiong Mingfang turned around and left, preparing the ship and gathering information in his own way.
