On Smoke Ripple Lake

Old Ma suddenly spoke up, “Young Master, something's not right ahead, take a look over there.”

As soon as he said this.

Jiang Yuan quickly opened his eyes and looked in the direction Old Ma was pointing to.

In the mist ahead, the silhouettes of several large ships slowly appeared. “Young Master, has the Grand Master of the Black Wind Tribe arrived?”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, “It shouldn't be! Let's observe calmly first and let the brothers be on guard!”

“Yes!”

Old Ma quickly responded.

Then he turned and went back to the cabin, calling out to the others to be on guard quickly.

A moment later.

An old man, flanked by two sailors, came to Jiang Yuan's side.

This man was the owner of the ship.

Jiang Yuan and the others were merely chartering his ship to cross Smoke

Ripple Lake.

This waterway is the shortest route to Luoshui Commandery City.

If they traveled by land, they would have to take a detour.

That would take at least ten days or half a month more.

That was something Jiang Yuan could absolutely not bear.

Initially, the old man dared not lend his ship to Jiang Yuan, after all, sometimes escorts turned into ruthless robbers.

Such things were not that uncommon, so it was normal for him to be cautious of Jiang Yuan and his crew.

Seeing this, Old Ma was ready to use his sweet talking.

But when the old man found out Jiang Yuan and the others were from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency of Lin'an County, he instantly changed his tune and was willing to rent out his ship to Jiang Yuan.

He said, he had heard of Jiang Zhenyuan's title of Wind Thunder Sword, and Zhenyuan's Escort Agency's reputation was trustworthy.

Meanwhile.

The outlines of the three distant large ships gradually became clearer, gradually appearing before everyone's eyes.

The black flag on top of the large ship was fluttering in the wind, rustling in the harsh lake wind.

On the flag was printed a large “Wind” character.

However, when seeing the “Wind” character on the flag, the old man, who had just come out of the cabin, suddenly paled in fear.

“Oh no, oh no! We've run into the pirates of the Kuangfeng Tribe, why did we meet them when they are out hunting, this time we're really done for.” “Kuangfeng Tribe? Is this power very strong?” asked Jiang Yuan.

“Very strong, there are about ten large and small water bandit forces on Smoke Ripple Lake, the Kuangfeng Tribe's capabilities can rank in the top three, it is said that their Grand Tribe Chief and Second Tribe Chief are both top experts at the eighth level of Body Forging! ”

The old man said fearfully.

Looking at the large ships gradually approaching, despair filled his eyes.

Among all the water pirates on Smoke Ripple Lake, the most fearsome are those from the Kuangfeng Tribe.

The other water pirates only wanted wealth, they didn't harm people.

But the Kuangfeng Tribe not only wanted wealth, they claimed lives too.

Meanwhile.

On the large ship.

“Big Brother, we seem to have caught a fat lamb.”

“What fat lamb?” the one-eyed burly man got up and asked.

“An escort team. The banner has a Jiang's symbol on it, never heard of it!”

“Let's go and see!”

While speaking, he had already come up on the deck, looking at Jiang Yuan's small boat in the distance.

He couldn't help but chuckle, “Oh! Daring to escort openly, we can't be careless, let's go see what's happening!”

“Yes, Big Brother!”

A moment later.

The three large ships slowly approached Jiang Yuan's location.

A loud shout came from the large ship, “What power do you belong to ahead, state your name!”

Old Ma immediately lowered his head to ask Jiang Yuan, “Young Master, what should we say?”

“Tell them the truth, and make your voice louder!”

“Louder? What do you mean?” Old Ma was full of confusion.

“Counting the time, Ning Buqi should be on Smoke Ripple Lake.”

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

The man's expression suddenly looked rather hesitant. Jiang Yuan chuckled along, “Uncle Ma, get started!”

“Yes!” Old Ma nodded.

Then, facing the three approaching big boats, he shouted, “We are from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency of Lin'an County. We are currently on a job; we kindly request that the gentlemen ahead would allow us to proceed.” The loud voice echoed all the way across Smoke Ripple Lake.

Aboard the giant boat.

The one-eyed robust man turned to ask his companion, “Old Third, have you heard of Zhenyuan Escort Agency?”

This man was Baixiao Sheng of the Kuangfeng Tribe, who had an uncanny knack for keeping abreast of the latest developments in the martial world.

He nodded and said, “I have. Its owner is Wind Thunder Sword—Jiang Zhenyuan. However, I heard something unfortunate happened to him recently, that he has passed away. I am not sure about the current situation!”

“Wind Thunder Sword—Jiang Zhenyuan? So it was him!” The one-eyed man burst into laughter, “If he were here, I would indeed give him some face. But as you said, if something happened to him, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency is nothing. Right now, it is a fat sheep for us! I am sure to seize them, and no one can stop us!” The one-eyed man then waved his hand and ordered, “Brothers, circle them.”

“Yes, big brother!”

Just at this moment.

A sound of surging waves.

“Big brother, someone seems to be coming!”

The one-eyed man instantly turned his attention to the source of the noise.

He saw a giant ship gradually appearing in everyone's sight as the mist over the water dispersed.

The ship was replete with flags fluttering in the wind.

The flags were aqua blue, engraved with the character 'Su'. “Big brother, such a fat sheep! An enormous fat sheep!”

“Slap!”

In his excited cheering, he received a smack on the head from the one-eyed man.

“Are you out of your mind? Dare to touch Su Family's merchant ship? You have a death wish!”

Immediately, the man rubbed his head, smiling sheepishly.

“The distance was too far, I don't have as good an eyesight as big brother, I didn't see that their flag has a 'Sul character on it!”

“We don't need to bother with Su Family's merchant ship, as long as we don't cross paths, we only need to seize the goods of Zhenyuan Escort Agency!”

Meanwhile, on the other side.

On the Su Family's merchant ship.

“Third Miss, it seems something is going on up ahead, would you like to go and take a look?”

A moment later.

A woman wearing a sky-blue dress arrived on the deck, looking in Jiang Yuan's direction.

“Elder Fu, what's going on over there?”

“It seems that the water bandits from Kuangfeng Tribe are plundering passing boats. It looks like they will be disposing of a dozen more corpses into the lake today!”

Hearing these words, a flicker of pity flashed across the eyes of the woman in the blue dress.

“Elder Fu, can we save them? The people coming and going on Smoke Ripple

Lake live a hard life just to make a living!”

Elder Fu chuckled, “Third Miss is kind-hearted. Very well, since you've given the order, we shall go and provide assistance!”

“I express my gratitude on their behalf for Elder Fu's kindness.”

Next, as Elder Fu gave the command.

The Su Family's ship instantly began to change its course, and the ship surged forward towards Jiang Yuan's side.

At the same time.

On the other side.

Aboard the big boat of the Kuangfeng Tribe.

“Big brother, something seems off! The Su Family's ship has changed its course and is heading our way!”

“I am not blind, I can see that for myself!” The one-eyed man snapped.

His face changed rapidly, a hint of struggle flashed across his eyes.

After a brief consideration, his eyes filled with determination. He gave an order, “Speed up, surround them! I'll claim the goods from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency! If the Su Family wants to save people, I can give them the people, but the goods are a must!” “Yes, big brother!”

The man replied energetically.

Following the instructions of the one-eyed man.

The three big boats once again picked up their pace.

The sound of the surging waves rang out, relentlessly encroaching on Jiang

Yuan's position..
