……

"Jiaolong Gang?"

Chen Xiuwu's face also changed, and his expression became extremely solemn.

The Jiaolong Gang has always been the overlord of several counties along the Anjiang River. They have monopolized the shipping trade in the entire Anjiang Basin. Special agreements have been signed with all the large and small families along the river.

They don’t care about the goods trade of various aristocratic families if you go overland. If you want to travel by water, you can only travel within this county. If you want to transport goods to other counties and take the Anjiang route, you must transport them through the Jiaolong Gang.

The reason why the Jiaolong Gang is so domineering is also related to his backstage. It is said, just said, that there is a royal prince behind the Jiaolong Gang. Moreover, the leader of the Jiaolong Gang is also a famous monk in the Purple Mansion Realm.

Overall, the strength of the Jiaolong Gang is no less than that of a fifth-grade Zifu family.

However, the Jiaolong Gang also has a lot of restrictions, that is, their business can only be limited to Anjiang, and must be bounded by the entrance of the East China Sea.

It stands to reason.

According to the agreement between the Jiaolong Gang and various aristocratic families, there is no breach of contract for Chen's fleet in Donggang to help the in-law alliance transport goods. After all, the Chen family's river fleet would at most dock at Changning Guandu in Changningwei, and then be transported and sold throughout the county by the Qian family's Land Chamber of Commerce.

However, the business of in-law alliance is booming, and there are many valuable best-sellers among them. The Jiaolong Gang, which has always been somewhat domineering, has long been greedy for this piece of fat.

We have negotiated and negotiated with the in-law alliance several times, but we have always encountered resistance and opposition from the in-law alliance. Because of this matter, the Jiaolong Gang has always held a grudge, and has had several frictions and collisions with Chen's river boat team in Anjiang.

It's just that both sides have concerns, and for the time being they are just at the stage of finding faults and talking.

But this time, the river boats of the Jiaolong Gang actually sailed to the outskirts of Donggang, looking like they were trying to enter Donggang. Naturally, it has violated the agreements with the aristocratic families everywhere.

After all, the location of Donggang happens to be the mouth of the East China Sea.

No wonder.

Chen Xiuwu and Chen Fanghua’s expressions became so heavy.

……

At the same time.

Those three river ships flying the flags of angry dragons with fangs and claws are not the transport ships of the Dragon Gang. Rather, they are combat ships specially designed for rapid attack, patrol, etc.

The dragon gang members on the boat were dressed in red and black attire, with a water support made of spirit fish skin and carefully made under the skin. There were water spikes or short blades hanging around their waists, and they held in their hands Crossbows and other long-range weapons.

They all have piercing eyes and long breaths. They are obviously elite gang members specializing in ship and water warfare. Those with the weakest strength also have the third level of Qi Refining Realm, and generally have the fourth or fifth level of cultivation.

There are even elites on the sixth and seventh levels, and captains on the eighth and ninth levels.

And every angry dragon warship is guarded by a leader from the Lingtai realm.

Even one of the Furious Dragon warships that specializes in fighting can suppress an ordinary ninth-grade family. If all three ships come out at the same time, even the eighth-grade aristocratic families will not dare to confront them.

Furthermore, the Furious Dragon Warship is also good at water combat, and everyone in the gang is good at water combat. How dare you go against an ordinary merchant ship?

The leading Furious Dragon warship had a middle-aged man standing at its bow. The man was wearing a set of soft armor made of high-grade ferocious animal skins, and his head was shaved to a shiny finish. There is also a deep scar from the left eye to the corner of the mouth, which looks ferocious and fierce.

Even the two leaders of the Lingtai Realm behind him were holding their breaths and concentrating, not daring to take a longer breath.

This bald man with a scar is none other than Zhao Wuqing, the "One-eyed Jiao", one of the famous masters of the Heavenly Realm in the Jiaolong Gang.

Zhao Qingqing was originally a child of an ordinary eighth-grade family in a certain county. He had achieved great success in studying and practicing martial arts since he was a child. He was cultivated by his family as a celestial being and had high hopes for the future. In addition, he was accompanied by a distant cousin who was his childhood sweetheart. On the side.

Logically speaking, Zhao Qingqing's life should be happy and fulfilling.

Unfortunately, there are unforeseen circumstances.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly suffered from a strange disease. The meridians throughout his body were blocked and blocked, making it impossible to circulate my profound energy to refine his blood and temper his body.

His cultivation level was declining day by day, and due to his inability to refine Qi and blood, he accumulated essence, and his figure continued to gain weight. From a handsome young man, he gradually turned into a fat man who couldn't even walk a few steps without breathing.

The family took him everywhere to seek medical treatment but failed, and gradually gave up on him.

The distant cousin who was his childhood sweetheart also gradually distanced himself from him and fell in love with a seventh-grade direct descendant.

Zhao Wuqing ran away from home in grief and despair, and then had a bumpy journey until he accidentally met the leader of the Jiaolong Gang - Fanjiang Longlong Wuji.

Speaking of which, Long Wuji can be regarded as a generation of wizards who are knowledgeable about the past and present.

Seeing that Zhao Qingqing's "illness" should be a side effect of awakening a special bloodline constitution, he searched for a profound body tempering technique, and personally used it to clear his meridians and lay the foundation for him over a long period of time. .

Soon Zhao Wuqing got rid of the "illness" and his cultivation began to improve by leaps and bounds. At the same time, he abandoned his original name and changed his name to Zhao Wuqing, drawing a clear line with his original name.

From then on, Zhao Wuqing followed Long Wuji closely and gradually grew into a powerful member of the Jiaolong Gang. Just because he has always been cruel and ruthless, and has always been Long Wuji's most loyal dog.

Therefore, even within the Jiaolong Gang, many gang members fear him more than respect him.

……

At the intersection of the sea and the river, the Furious Dragon Warship was chopping through the waves against the wind and waves.

At the same time as Chen Fanghua's caravan discovered the Nujiao battleship. Zhao Qingqing and his party also discovered the fleet of Chen Fanghua and others.

"General Commander."

A man with eyes like a falcon, Lu Jinyi, said, "Judging from the flags and queues of that caravan, it should be Chen's newly expanded Hundred Islands Caravan."

"Hundred Islands Caravan?" Zhao Qingqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that Chen's business is getting bigger and bigger. There are five large merchant ships in the Baidao Guard's direction. ”

"Yes, as the Chen family has grown stronger and stronger, it has overwhelmed the two ninth-grade aristocratic families in Donggang, the Jiang family and the Li family." Lu Jinyi said, "They have occupied 90% of the trade share of Donggang, and more than 30% of the freight within the Baidaowei area."

Lu Jinyi is the commander of the Jiaolong Gang's "Jiaolong Commercial Bank Branch" stationed in Changningwei, so he naturally knows everything about Changningwei's affairs, big and small. That's right, "Jiaolong Trading Company" is the name of the company officially registered by the Jiaolong Gang with the government.

This is similar to those similar "organizations" on earth, which are usually named so-and-so companies, and they have always had the same purpose.

"Thirty percent, Jie Jie." Zhao Qingqing gave a cruel smile and said with greed in his eyes, "The Chen family in Donggang is not even a seventh-grade family. With the name of the Changning Wei in-law alliance and the Tantai family in the East China Sea, , The appetite is so overbearing and greedy, and they are not afraid of bursting their stomachs. No wonder, the Donggang Jiang family and the Li family are willing to transfer the Donggang port share to our Jiaolong Gang."

"Lu Jinyi, send the order to intercept this caravan."

Lu Jinyi's expression changed and he said hurriedly: "Commander, I heard that the deputy commander of this caravan is Chen Xiuwu, the current eldest son of the Chen family. This boy is the nephew of Wang Shouzhe, the Wang family of Changning."

Although Wang Shouzhe is not a Heavenly Realm monk, his position in Changning Wei is extremely prominent, and even several Heavenly Realm monks from other aristocratic families are willing to be at his disposal.

It is precisely because of him that all the major families in Changningwei have become almost monolithic.

However, the reason for using "almost" is that naturally not every aristocratic family will be convinced by the Wang family. There are always small aristocratic families that have suffered suppression and losses due to the rise of the Wang family's in-law alliance.

For example, the Jiang family and Li family in Donggang usually dare to be angry but dare not speak out. However, once he had the opportunity, he climbed into the large force of Jiaolong Gang.

"Wang Shouzhe?" Zhao Qingqing curled his lips, chuckled and snorted, "It was him who refused to give up any advantage when negotiating with our Jiaolong Gang several times before, right? A mere Lingtai Realm family leader, relying on the purple There are people in the Fuxue Palace, so they think they are the overlord."

"First capture this caravan and capture the young patriarch of the Chen family alive." Zhao Qingqing's one-eyed scar smiled ferociously and trembled, "Then, let's talk to Wang Shouzhe about our Jiaolong Gang's intention to settle in Donggang. The previous strategy of our Jiaolong Gang was too polite to that of Wang Shouzhe. A mere local tyrant gave him some color, and he really thought that our Jiaolong Gang was a fool."

Although Lu Jinyi felt that it was quite inappropriate, he felt that the commander-in-chief seemed to underestimate Wang Shouzhe. However, he knew better what kind of temper Zhao Wuqing had. Once he disobeyed him, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Immediately, he gave the order: "The commander-in-chief has ordered that all the Furious Dragon battleships attack, and the target is the Chen merchant fleet."

Semaphores wave flags.

The three Furious Dragon warships were dispatched in unison, forming a "Zigzag" formation, and attacked the five merchant ships like a pack of wolves.

……

"Are the Jiaolong Gang crazy? Are they so audacious to attack and kill my merchant ship outside our Donggang port?" Chen Fanghua suddenly changed his expression and said, "Quickly, ask for help from Donggang."

The merchant ships also have armed forces. In addition to Chen Fanghua, who is in Lingtai, there are also more than ten or twenty Qi Refining Realm generals or clansmen. In addition, there are a total of six to seven hundred ordinary shipwrights and sailors.

It is easy to deal with some unorganized small-scale pirates, casual cultivators, or third- and fourth-order ferocious beasts. But if it were to face the Furious Dragon Battleship that the Jiaolong Gang specialized in fighting, it would not be enough.

Following Chen Fanghua’s order.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of fireworks were released into the sky, even in the bright daylight, they still lit up half of the sky red.

At the same time.

Five huge merchant ships began to turn around and sail towards Donggang Port. It's just that due to the design of this type of giant merchant ships, they are large and round in size and can carry more cargo, and their steering and speed are quite clumsy.

……

“You still want to run away?” Zhao Wuqing sneered, “You are so stupid, do you think our Jiaolong Gang is vegetarian?”

"Zhengzhengzheng!"

At the bow of the Nujiao battleship, several large ship-borne bed crossbows took the lead in showing off their power, and the sharp arrows of the bed crossbows with thick arms roared and flew away. These bed crossbows are made of spiritual wood and have high-level ferocious beast sinews as strings. Their power far exceeds the bed crossbows on earth.

They are usually involved in large-scale battles or defending cities, and are quite effective in fighting against beast tides.

The power of one shot can probably penetrate even a third-level ferocious beast. After dozens of shots were fired at the same time, even the fifth-level ferocious beast did not dare to withstand it.

In addition, it is quite effective in ship battles. After all, the ship is slow and the target is huge.

One of the rounds hit a boatman on the deck and penetrated the deck with him and his body.

"Damnable Angry Dragon Gang!"

The young and energetic Chen Xiuwu's lungs were about to explode with anger. "Counterattack, counterattack, use the several ship-borne divine cannons sent by my uncle for trial use to counterattack."

Following his order.

The generals moved upon hearing the news. On one side of the merchant ship's flagship, the thick tarpaulin was torn open, revealing several giant cannons made of fine iron. They have been fixed to the side of the ship, but the muzzle can be adjusted by a winch.

These powerful cannons carefully developed by the Wang family were drawn by Wang Shouzhe based on his imagination and limited theoretical knowledge, and then slowly explored and crafted by the few low-level weapon refiners that the family had always supported. The prototype of the powerful cannon was gradually forged.

They are powerful but clumsy. It weighs several thousand kilograms, making it difficult for even a Lingtai realm monk to move it.

The reason why Wang Shouzhe has been spending resources to point out the basic technology of "Shenwei Cannon" is because its technical threshold is very low. Mainly because Ping'an Town is located on the outside side. Once an animal tide occurs, it will be the first disaster area to bear the brunt.

He has never forgotten how difficult it was for the Wang family to resist the beast tide. Even if there was no civil strife, Wang's losses would not be small that time.

What's more, it's just a tide of beasts led by fifth-order ferocious beasts. What if it's a tide of sixth-order or even seventh-order ferocious beasts?

There is no doubt that the Shenwei Cannon has the lowest research and development threshold and is one of the most cost-effective weapons to fight against the beast tide. Of course, if you want to use it to defeat the monks in the heavenly realm, that would be nonsense. They move around in the sky regardless of consumption, but they are much more flexible than fighter jets.

Like the bed crossbow, the divine cannon is also very suitable for shipboard use. Wang Shouzhe also has considerable expectations and ambitions for the expansion of sea areas.

The generals who control the powerful cannon have already undergone preliminary training, although their movements are clumsy due to nervousness. But their victory lies in their great strength. Even if they are just Qi Refining Realm monks, their strength is not comparable to that of people on earth.

With the rotation of the winch, they quickly adjusted their position. Strictly follow the previous tutorial, light the fire, and fire off the cannon.

A huge solid iron ball exploded out.

However, due to the bumpy tide, it is not as simple as on the shore. The first two powerful cannons fired iron **** weighing dozens of kilograms, which hit the water and caused huge splashes.

But even so, it shocked everyone in the Jiaolong Gang. What is that thing? It is much more powerful than a bed crossbow?

The third divine cannon was lucky. The iron ball hit the deck in a parabola at high speed. After the deck was shattered, it bounced forward. The bodies of the two Qi Refining Realm accomplices were severely smashed in the path of its beating, breaking into several pieces... The iron ball dragged a series of flesh and blood and shattered pieces, smashed the stern side of the ship, and fell. Falling into the sea.

In a flash!

There was silence on the Angry Dragon Battleship, and the faces of the gang members and the commander were all pale. What the **** is that? It can actually smash people into pieces...
