Chapter 1745 Breaking into the Heroes Conference
To the south of Liangshan Lake is Nanyang Lake.

A huge modified ship was parked in the middle of the lake, and the boat was filled with flags of various sects.

"Brother, look, this battle is pretty good!"

Lu Zhishen pointed at the big ship and laughed.

"These people are really rich. The modification of this boat is also very interesting!"

Sun Lei laughed. The ship in front of him was actually three large ships put together. The decks were connected and covered with templates, forming a huge platform.

"Haha, the place is big enough. Look, there's even a fighting arena on the boat!"

Lu Zhishen pointed at the arena with great interest and laughed. He had now begun to imagine himself being invincible in the arena.

At the ferry crossing on the river, small boats were coming and going to pick up and drop off people.

"Your Majesty, these people are really well prepared. Liangshan City has regulations that such large-scale activities need to be reported to the government. They didn't dare to report it and ran to Nanyang Lake. This place is already outside the territory of Liangshan City."

Lin Chong said that Liangshan City is now very large, but its territory is just on the edge of Nanyang Lake and is not included in Nanyang Lake.

"How are the arrangements in the city going?"

Sun Lei asked.

"Everything has been arranged. The visible officials and soldiers have already arrived at Nanyang Lake, but the hidden army has already ambushed at the designated location!"

Hua Rong said.

"Then let's see how many fish we can catch with one net!"

Sun Lei laughed.

A few people slowly followed the crowd to the dock.

"Are you guys also attending the Heroes Conference? Do you have an invitation?"

When several receptionists at the ferry saw Sun Lei and his companions, they immediately smiled and stretched out their hands to ask.

"Invitation card?"

Lu Zhishen, who was walking in front, was stunned. He had never heard of any invitation letter for the Heroes Conference.

"Don't look back, you are the boss now!"

Sun Lei immediately reminded Lu Zhishen in a low voice.

Lu Zhishen didn't know what to do for a moment. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and ask Sun Lei. This was a habit he had developed over the years.

"You want to attend the Heroes Conference without an invitation? Haha! Does the Heroes Conference allow anyone to attend?"

When the three Liu brothers saw Lu Zhishen and others being stopped, they immediately laughed triumphantly.

"Invitation card!"

Liu Da simply took out an invitation letter and showed it to others, then boarded the boat in a heroic and confident manner.

"You are Lu Da now! Lu Tixia of Guanxi, what would you have done in the past?"

Sun Lei whispered a few more reminders.

"What invitation? I don't have one! How dare you, a bunch of bastards, stop me from getting on board? Do you think our Invincible Sect is easy to bully?"

Lu Zhishen immediately understood what he meant and became furious. He grabbed the receptionist in front of him and lifted him up by the collar of his clothes with one hand.

This behavior shocked all the people in the queue. They didn't expect that there would be such a rogue in the Heroes Conference. But when they heard the three words "Invincible Gate", everyone started whispering again.

"Hero, spare me! Hero, spare me!"

The receptionist was so scared that he begged for mercy.

"Yeah!"

Lu Zhishen simply lifted up the receptionist with one hand.

This move shocked the people around. The strength that was so great that he could lift an adult man with one hand should not be underestimated. In the martial arts world, strength often represents the level of martial arts ability. After all, force can defeat skill.

No one came near, but just watched from the sidelines, wanting to see how the organizer would resolve the issue.

"Hero, calm down, calm down!"

The receptionist hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to apologize.

"Why calm down? This guy dared to stop me from getting on the boat. He is really looking for death!"

Lu Zhishen had no intention of letting the man go. "The hero is highly skilled in martial arts, so he is naturally qualified to board the ship to participate in the Heroes Conference! I will arrange a ship right away!"

The steward said with a smile.

"What about the invitation?"

Lu Zhishen looked at the steward and asked.

"The hero's martial arts is the best invitation. The Hero Conference judges heroes by their martial arts skills!"

The steward said immediately.

"You have good sense!"

Lu Zhishen's expression then eased a little and he put the boy on the ground.

As soon as Lu Zhishen let go of his hand, the frightened servant's legs went limp and he sat on the ground.

"Hero, this way!"

The steward quickly made way and invited Lu Zhishen and others to board the boat.

"Master Lu, you are still as majestic as ever!"

After getting on the boat, Sun Lei started laughing. Judging from his skillful technique and realistic expression, he still remembered how to eat.

"Hey! Isn't this for my brothers? Otherwise, how can we get on the boat?"

Lu Zhishen said with a serious face.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you today!"

Seeing that Lu Zhishen was so into the role, Sun Lei didn't bother to argue with him. After all, he was going to make him the leader of the martial arts world today.

Several people took a boat and slowly headed towards the big ship in the center of the lake.

"Who built such a big ship?"

Sun Lei asked as he looked at the boatman.

"I don't know about that. Anyway, he is a rich man. It would cost a lot of money to rent such a big ship for a day. I was recruited by someone yesterday. I am paid 200 copper coins a day, which is not bad."

The boatman shook his head.

“Do they still give money?”

Sun Lei became interested.

"Of course you have to pay. Even though you are just gangsters, the current Emperor of Qi was also the best warrior in the world. But now that he is the emperor, he is busy with state affairs and doesn't care much about gangster affairs!"

"The emperor has to pay the laborers to do the work. Who dares not to pay? Tomorrow we will go to Liangshan to file a complaint and ask the emperor to send troops to suppress us. Things are not like before. Although we are fishermen, we are not bullied by anyone!"

The boatman said with pride, not afraid of the heroes in front of him.

"It seems that you are very satisfied with His Majesty the Emperor!"

Sun Lei continued to ask with a smile.

"Of course I am satisfied! I don't know about the distant past, but His Majesty is a thousand times better than the Zhao family of the previous dynasty! The taxes are light, and he always considers us, the people. In the words of His Majesty, fairness, fairness, and fairness! We want fairness!"

The boatman said seriously.

"Haha, I think that makes sense too! As long as it's fair, I'll be fine!"

Sun Lei laughed.

"That's right. We don't understand much. We eat coarse food. If officials also eat coarse food, we have no objection. Don't think that they eat delicious food and let us starve to death. Otherwise, we will rebel against them!"

The boatman also smiled and said that it was not illegal to discuss rebellion in Qi State, especially for ordinary people, there were no taboos.

"That's right! It's fair, that's it!"

Sun Lei smiled and nodded. This was the result he wanted. The people must have their own ideas, even if it was a rebellion. Although he had reformed the official system, no system was perfect. Over time, interest groups would still emerge and solidify, and then someone would have to be brave enough to break them.

"Here we are. I see you are not bad people. But I want to remind you that you can only fight but don't kill anyone. The laws of Qi are strict. Killing someone means paying with your life! It's no use running away to the ends of the earth!"

Seeing that Sun Lei and his companions were quite "friendly", the boatman gave them a reminder.

"Thank you."

Sun Lei and others smiled, clasped their fists, and got on the boat.
