Chapter 50: Su Family (Seeking to Continue Reading)

On the Yanzhou Lake

Old Ma suddenly spoke up, "Young Master, something seems off up ahead. Take a look over there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan quickly opened his eyes and looked in the direction Old Ma was pointing.

Through the mist ahead, the outlines of several large boats slowly emerged.

"Is it the leader of the Black Wind Gang coming?" Old Ma asked.

Jiang Yuan shook his head. "I don't think so! Let's observe the situation and have our brothers be on guard first."

"Yes!" Old Ma quickly responded.

He then turned and went back to the cabin, instructing the others to be prepared.

After a while, an old man accompanied by two sailors approached Jiang Yuan.

This man was the owner of the boat they had rented.

Jiang Yuan and his group had only borrowed his boat to cross the Yanzhou Lake.

This water route was the closest way to reach the capital city of Luoshui County.

If they were to travel by land, they would have to take a detour, which would take at least ten to fifteen days longer.

Jiang Yuan couldn't tolerate this delay.

Originally, the old man was hesitant to rent his boat to Jiang Yuan. After all, those involved in escorting goods sometimes turned into notorious pirates on the rivers and seas.

Such incidents were not uncommon, so it was normal for him to be cautious towards Jiang Yuan and his group.

Old Ma had planned to use his persuasive skills, but when the old man learned that Jiang Yuan and his group were from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in Lin'an County, his attitude instantly changed. He was willing to rent his boat to Jiang Yuan.

He said that he had heard of the reputation of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency and trusted their credibility.

At the same time, the outlines of three large boats in the distance gradually became clear and appeared before everyone's eyes.

The black flags on the boats fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound in the cold lake breeze.

On the flags, there was a large character "Feng" (wind).

However, when the old man saw the character "Feng" on the flag, his face instantly filled with fear as he exclaimed, "Oh no, oh no! We've encountered the water bandits from the Kuangfeng Gang. How did we run into them when they're out hunting? We're really in trouble this time."

"Is the Kuangfeng Gang very powerful?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"They are very strong. There are about ten different factions of water bandits on the Yanzhou Lake, and the Kuangfeng Gang ranks in the top three. It is said that their leader and second-in-command are both peak experts at the Body Tempering Eighth Stage," the old man said fearfully.

As they watched the approaching boats, despair filled his eyes.

If there was one group of water bandits on the Yanzhou Lake that was the most feared, it was the Kuangfeng Gang.

Other water bandits only cared about wealth, not lives.

But the Kuangfeng Gang not only wanted wealth, but also lives.

At the same time, on one of the large boats...

"Big brother, it seems like we've caught a fat sheep."

"What fat sheep?" a one-eyed strong man stood up and asked.

"A convoy of escorts, and there's a Jiang family emblem on their flag. I've never heard of them before."

"Let's go take a look!"

As he spoke, he had already arrived on the deck and looked at Jiang Yuan's small boat in the distance.

He couldn't help but chuckle, "Oh! Daring to transport goods openly, they must not be taken lightly. Let's go and see what's going on!"

"Yes, big brother!"

After a while, the three large boats slowly approached Jiang Yuan's location.

A loud voice suddenly came from one of the boats, "Who is the force ahead? State your name!"

Old Ma immediately lowered his head and asked Jiang Yuan, "Young Master, what should we say?"

"Tell them the truth, and speak louder!" Jiang Yuan replied.

"Louder? What do you mean?" Old Ma looked puzzled.

"Calculate the time, Ning Buqi should already be on the Yanzhou Lake!"

After speaking, Jiang Yuan glanced at the old man behind him with his divine sense.

I saw his expression flicker instantly.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Ma, shout!"

"Yes!" Old Ma nodded.

Then he shouted towards the three large ships slowly approaching ahead, "We are the Zhenyuan Escort Agency from Lin'an County. We are currently escorting goods. Please make way for us, good men ahead."

The voice was loud and suddenly came from afar on the misty lake.

On the large ship.

The one-eyed strong man asked the person next to him, "Third Brother, have you heard of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency?"

This person was Bai Xiaosheng from the Kuangfeng Gang, and he was exceptionally well-informed about the news in the martial world.

He nodded and said, "I have heard of it. Its owner is Fenglei Sword - Jiang Zhenyuan. But I heard that he had an accident a few days ago and has already been buried. I don't know the specific situation now!"

"Fenglei Sword - Jiang Zhenyuan? So it's him!" The one-eyed strong man laughed, "If he were here, I would indeed give him some face. But as you said, he's in trouble, so the Zhenyuan Escort Agency is nothing. They are just a fat lamb now! I have them under my control, and no one can do anything about it!"

Then the one-eyed man waved his hand, "Let the brothers surround them."

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Just at this moment.

A wave of water splashed.

"Big Brother, it seems someone is coming!"

The one-eyed man instantly looked over.

He saw in the distance, as the mist dispersed, a huge floating palace gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was covered with flags fluttering in the wind.

The flags were water blue with the character "Su" engraved on them.

"Big Brother, a fat lamb! Such a big fat lamb!"

"Smack!"

In his excited cheer, the one-eyed man received a slap from the one-eyed man.

"Are you stupid? You dare to touch the Su family's merchant ship? Are you tired of living?"

Instantly, the man awkwardly touched his own hair and laughed.

"It's because the distance was too far, and Big Brother's eyesight is good. I didn't see the 'Su' character on their flags!"

"We don't need to care about the Su family's merchant ship. As long as we don't interfere with them, we just need to take the goods from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!"

On the other side.

On the Su family's merchant ship.

"Third Miss, there seems to be a situation ahead. Do you want to go and take a look?"

After a moment.

The woman in a water blue dress came to the deck and looked in the direction where Jiang Yuan was.

"Fu Lao, what's the situation there?"

"It seems that the water bandits from the Kuangfeng Gang are plundering passing ships. Judging from the situation, today there will be more than a dozen bodies thrown into the lake to feed the fish!"

Upon hearing this, a trace of compassion flashed in the eyes of the woman in the blue dress.

"Fu Lao, can we save them? It's not easy for the people coming and going on this misty lake to make a living!"

Fu Lao smiled and said, "Miss San is also kind-hearted. Very well, since Miss has given the order, we will go and rescue them!"

"I will thank Fu Lao on behalf of those people for his kindness."

Then, following Fu Lao's command.

The Su family's floating palace instantly changed its direction and sailed towards Jiang Yuan, braving the wind and waves.

At the same time.

On the other side.

On the Kuangfeng Gang's large ship.

"Big Brother, something seems wrong! The Su family's floating palace has changed its direction and is coming towards us!"

"I'm not blind, no need for you to tell me!" the one-eyed strong man scolded angrily.

His face instantly changed, and a few struggles flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, his gaze became resolute.

He immediately ordered, "Speed up and surround them. I have the Zhenyuan Escort Agency's goods under my control! If the Su family wants to save people, I can give them the people, but I must have the goods!"

"Yes, Big Brother!"

That person cheered.

Following the one-eyed strong man's command.

The three large ships accelerated once again.

The sound of water splashing echoed as they approached Jiang Yuan.
