The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 550 Suppressing Bandits
Li Gang slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you!"

The reason why heroes are called heroes is that they have killed many bandits, pirates, thieves and robbers.

In addition to being known as one of the Six Gentlemen of the Wulin world, Li Gang is also a famous hero in the martial arts world. He has a pair of eyes as sharp as knives and cannot bear to see thieves and bandits doing evil in front of him.

Although his status is not as good as Lian Chengbi's when it comes to actual interests, when it comes to prestige in the world, he is even higher than Lian Chengbi.

There is no other reason, he has been famous long enough, has made enough moves, his martial arts skills are high enough, and he is very popular enough!

When he heard that the bandits in Hongze Lake had appeared again, he was about to take action immediately.

Li Gang was about to take action, so the others naturally couldn't just sit there.

"I'm sorry to interrupt Brother Lian's welcoming banquet, but since we have the title of gentlemen, we cannot stand by and watch innocent people suffer. What's more, this incident was caused by us. How about we have this meal after we deal with the bandits?" Li Gang said to Lian Chengbi.

Lian Chengbi narrowed his eyes and straightened his face, "Brother Li, you underestimate me. Do you think I am a hypocrite who puts a meal above the lives of ordinary people?"

Li Gang shook his head seriously, "Of course not, but this is a token of Mr. Duan's goodwill after all. Li Mouqiang wants to step forward. I apologize for disturbing you."

Duan Hongzhang said hurriedly, "Hero Li and Master Lian are both famous gentlemen in the martial arts world. They cannot tolerate any injustice. A small banquet can be held at any time. It is more important to eliminate the pirates."

Wan Chongshan looked at Li Gang and then at Lian Chengbi, then stood up and said, "In that case, let's set off immediately."

Now that things have come to this, Lian Chengbi naturally has to get involved.

"Several towns and villages were hit by banditry at the same time, which means they must have discussed it beforehand and there are already experts working together in secret. We must endeavor to find their lair in one fell swoop and wipe them out completely," said Wan Chongshan.

"In that case, we have to split our forces into several groups. There will always be a group that can capture their main force and chase them to their lair." Wang Xuanfei suggested.

So, Li Gang led one group, Wan Chongshan led another group, Lian Chengbi and his wife led another group, and Duan Hongzhang and Wang Xuanfei led another group, and they were divided into four groups to suppress the bandits.

Li Gang waved his hand and said, "Leave the farthest Siyang to me!"

"Qingjiangpu is not big, but the terrain is complex and the waterways are crisscrossed. Let me and Brother Wang go together." Duan Hongzhang said.

Lian Chengbi smiled and said, "I have heard of Huaiyin for a long time, but I have never had the chance to see it. Today, I have the honor to help it fight against bandits. This is my tribute to Marquis Han after a thousand years."

The remaining Peijia Town is naturally Wanchongshan’s task.

Duan Hongzhang hesitated and said, "Tea and fruit have been prepared in the backyard, and there are family members as well. I wonder if Mrs. Lian..."

Shen Bijun smiled slightly and raised her right hand. A golden needle appeared between her two fingers, shining with a golden light.

"Although I don't like fighting, since the problem is water bandits and I have martial arts skills, I am willing to do my best to help." Shen Bijun said softly.

"Mrs. Lian is a woman who is as brave as any man. I admire her!" Duan Hongzhang gave a thumbs up.

"The innocent couple, flying together as a pair!" Wang Xuanfei praised repeatedly.

Lian Chengbi found that having some lackeys saying nice things around him really made him feel good. He didn't expect that the name of "Pure Knights" was actually called out by Wang Xuanfei first.

So everyone set off.

There were servants from Duan Hongzhang's mansion leading the way, and some people from the underworld who stayed in Huai'an City followed the crowd in twos and threes, ready to pick on the weak. When they mentioned it in the future, they would say "I also fought side by side with the six martial arts masters and the Xiangyang swordsman in Huai'an and wiped out the twenty-eight bandits in Hongze Lake." Doesn't it sound very proud?
……

Huaiyin County under the jurisdiction of Huai'an Prefecture.

Although this is Han Xin's hometown, it was still just an ordinary county town in Lianghuai at that time. It was only because of the water conservancy facilities of Hongze Lake and the Grand Canal that it developed better than other places.

As soon as Lian Chengbi and Shen Bijun arrived, a servant from the Duan mansion tipped off and pointed out the whereabouts of the pirates.

When facing the bandits, ordinary people and idlers could only try their best to resist and delay time, but as soon as Lian Chengbi and Shen Bijun arrived, they immediately became useless.

Seven or eight bandits died under Lian Chengbi's sword, and even Shen Bijun's eyes turned red when she saw several women and children killed by the bandits. She personally used her golden needle to kill a villain with bloody hands.

"Thank you, hero! Thank you, heroine!"

"My daughter, these heroes have avenged you!"

A group of people kowtowed in gratitude, and Lian Chengbi and Shen Bijun helped them up one by one. Shen Bijun felt sorry for them and not only confiscated the gifts they offered, but also gave them the silver and money she had on her.

This sincere act made the reputation of the Immaculate Couple even more famous.

"Have you found out their lair? And how are they in contact?" Lian Chengbi asked the gangsters who followed them. They also captured a few pirates alive and sent them aside for interrogation.

The Jianghu man shook his head, "They don't have a lair. They have been hiding in a valley near the lake. There are only these few of them. They went out together this time. It was Wang Zhen's deputy, a man named He Ying, who came to find them."

"Where is He Ying?" Lian Chengbi asked.

"I just left after talking to them. They don't know anything." The man from the martial arts world shook his head.

At this moment, Liu Daqian led an elderly couple and hurried over. As soon as they arrived, the old couple knelt down in front of Lian Chengbi and began to kowtow without saying a word.

Lian Chengbi frowned, stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and the couple stood up involuntarily, unable to kneel down at all.

"If you have something to say, just say it. I will help if I can. If I can't, I won't help you even if you smash your head." Lian Chengbi said calmly.

"Mr. Lian." Liu Daqian said helplessly, "Their daughter went to Siyang to visit her cousin early this morning. Not long after she left, she encountered pirates here. They are worried about their daughter..."

"Li Gang will kill the bandits in Siyang." Lian Chengbi said, "With Li Gang's martial arts, even Wang Zhen is no match for him. If their daughter is not dead now, then she will not die. If she had encountered the bandits earlier, even if I went now, it would be too late."

Liu Daqian nodded repeatedly, "That's what I told them too!"

Seeing the anxious and worried expressions of the old couple, Shen Bijun pondered for a moment and said to Lian Chengbi, "The Huaiyin bandits don't know anything anyway. Why don't we go to Siyang to take a look?"

"Siyang is the farthest from Huai'an. Maybe He Ying is with the bandits in Siyang." Shen Bijun said, "Since we are involved in this matter, let's clean up the mess."

Lian Chengbi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't expect that Madam has also learned the method of provoking others?"

Shen Bijun smiled softly, gentle and shy.
