Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 63 Convergence
On that day, Hu Guinan was arranged to get off the boat and go to Taibai Mountain to report the news.

Huang Sixi continued sailing on the river.

In a short time, he crossed the entire Sichuan region and arrived near Wu Gorge on the border between Sichuan and Hubei.

As the sailboat entered the gorge, we saw endless green hills on both sides of the river and the scenery was deep and magnificent.

Miss Zhuang called out eagerly, calling Huang Sixi out of the cabin, and they stood at the bow together to look at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river.

"This place is so beautiful, the mountains and rivers are like a painting!"

After Miss Zhuang praised him, she asked Huang Sixi, "That day you sent Brother Hu off the boat and asked him to go to the Dragon Subduing Society to invite people. We agreed to meet at Wu Gorge, but Wu Gorge is so big, where is the meeting place?"

Huang Sixi did not wait for Hu Guinan in vain. He had been sailing on the river these days. He must have agreed on a meeting point with Hu Guinan, otherwise the two would miss the trip.

Huang Sixi replied, "Guinan has traveled to Wu Gorge before. He said that the locals built a pavilion to watch the river on the mountain in the gorge, and you can see the river more than ten miles into the gorge."

"There's fog on the mountain, I can't see anything clearly!"

"That doesn't matter. As long as the boats are on the river, we can always meet."

"It seems that we will have to stay here for a few days!"

"The scenery here is nice, it doesn't hurt to stay a few more days."

As the two were chatting, Taoist Huang Mu also walked over.

Taoist Huangmu has been recuperating on the boat these days, and has been taking the medicinal herbs for external injuries given by Elder Lu regularly. His injuries have improved significantly.

In order to return to Xiandu Sect as soon as possible, he proposed to Huang Sixi: "After we meet up with Mr. Hu, why don't we abandon the ship and go ashore, and ride back to Jiangnan on horseback. What do you think, Mr. Huang?"

"Can your body bear it?" Huang Sixi asked him.

"The Taoist's condition has stabilized, and there is no problem for him to ride a horse." Taoist Huang Mu was not trying to hold on. His body had recovered to the point where he could indeed ride a horse, but the speed would be slower, and he could not travel day and night.

"Let's meet up with southern Guangxi first, and then meet the brothers from the Dragon Subduing Society and listen to their opinions!" Huang Sixi did not make a hasty decision:

"They travel the world all year round, and they will give an accurate judgment on whether it is easier to travel by land or by water."

Huang Sixi prefers riding horses.

If the Yangtze River waterway is unobstructed and we can travel day and night, it will actually be faster and require no effort.

But there were too many bandits along the Yangtze River. A few days ago, when Huang Sixi was sailing on the river, he was robbed by bandits every now and then.

At present, his sailboat has just reached the border between Sichuan and Hubei. It is still two thousand miles away from Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River. He doesn't know how many bandits he will encounter along the way.

However, the situation in the world is now corrupt, with wars happening everywhere, and the banditry encountered on horseback may not be less than that encountered on the river.

Regardless of whether you ride a horse or sail, you will experience hardships along the way.

Huang Sixi thought: "My mission this time is to stop the killing of Xiandu Sect disciples. As long as this is done, it doesn't matter when I arrive in Jiangnan!"

Thinking of this, Huang Sixi said again: "Master Huang, when we meet the brothers of the Dragon Subduing Society, I will tell them to go to various places in the martial arts world to contact your disciples. If the Xiandu Sect has any special contact methods, please don't keep them to yourself and reveal them to the brothers of the Dragon Subduing Society."

"Leave this matter to Mr. Huang, the old Taoist will cooperate with you."

Taoist Huang Mu said: "In addition to contacting the disciples who are traveling outside, I have already written a personal letter. Mr. Huang can send a fast horse to deliver the letter to Min Zihua and Dong Xuan first. As long as they receive the handwritten letter from me, they will definitely return to Xiandu Mountain immediately and will never cause trouble in Jinling City again!"

"That's good!" Huang Sixi said, and then he noticed Miss Zhuang touching his arm and pointed forward: "Mr. Huang, look over there, there are warships approaching!"

Huang Sixi went forward to take a look and found that it was indeed a warship.

Due to the distance, Huang Sixi could not see the face of the sailor at the bow, but there were gun barrels protruding from the side of the ship. It was a gunboat loaded with red cannons.

The sailboat that Huang Sixi was riding on also had a cannon, but there was only one cannon, which was snatched back from the land by the pirates and installed on the boat to show off their power. It could show off its power when encountering an ordinary ship, but it would be helpless against a gunboat.

There were three gunboats coming from the opposite direction.

The flags flying on each ship were embroidered with a large "Liang" character.

Miss Zhuang asked: "Is there any general named Liang in the Dragon Subduing Society?"

Huang Sixi shook his head: "I don't know either! As far as I know, the Dragon Subduing Society does not recruit soldiers. These ships may not be sent by the Dragon Subduing Society, they may also be official ships!"

Miss Zhuang frowned slightly: "Official ship? I'm afraid that won't be a good thing!"

She always thought that soldiers and bandits were of the same character, so she didn't want to meet these officers and soldiers. She turned and walked towards the cabin door. She decided to avoid them for the time being and wait for Huang Sixi to deal with the officers and soldiers before she came out to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

As a result, after walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a rough male voice coming from afar.

"Husband! Is that you, husband? I am Luohan!"

Miss Zhuang's eyes lit up, and she turned back and watched the excitement with a smile: "Mr. Huang's brothers are here! Those warships look so majestic, who dares to rob them in the future? Oh, I'm afraid even the soldiers won't dare to provoke us!"

After a while, three fleets arrived in front of the ship.

Tie Luohan jumped onto the deck without waiting for the ship to drop anchor.

When he saw Huang Sixi, he couldn't help but laugh: "Husband, I haven't seen you for five years, you have grown a lot taller!"

He compared with his hand and found that Huang Sixi's height was already level with his eye sockets.

Huang Sixi said with a smile: "It won't grow any taller in the future. I probably won't be taller than you in this lifetime!"

When Miss Zhuang heard this, she wondered if this Master Tie Luohan had known Mr. Huang since he was a teenager? Their friendship must have been deeper than that of Mr. Hu.

Only then did she suddenly remember that she had never asked Huang Sixi about his age, and it was not certain who was older between her and Huang Sixi.

Taoist Huang Mu saw the Iron Arhat's appearance, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Master, is he the monk Yisheng from Mount Wutai?"

"Master Huang has a really good memory!"

Tie Luohan gave Taoist Huang Mu a thumbs up and said, "We met before in Sichuan. You went to the mountains to collect herbs, and I happened to be passing by. I showed you the way to the mountain. That was seven or eight years ago."

"Not bad!"

Taoist Huang Mu seemed very happy to see that it was an acquaintance, but he didn't say much.

Because there was a middle-aged man standing next to Tie Luohan, wearing a rough armor and dressed like the soldiers on the warship. He seemed to be the leader of the warship, so Tie Luohan wanted to introduce him.

"My dear, this is the leader of the Liang Yinlong Gang. He originally founded the Poyang Gang in northern Jiangxi and joined our Dragon Subduing Society four years ago!" Tie Luohan pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced him:

"He visits the headquarters several times every year. Every time he visits, he goes by water first, entering the river from Poyang Lake, stopping ashore when he reaches Wu Gorge, and then riding to Taibai Mountain! This time it was a coincidence. When Brother Hu passed the news about you to the headquarters, Gang Leader Liang happened to be staying on the mountain. He heard that you would pass by Wu Gorge, so he came here with me to wait for you!"
