It was when the sun was shining brightly, geese flew over the blue sky, overlooking the coming and going of ships. On this Grand Canal that runs across the north and south, it flows endlessly, bathing in a shimmering and sunny light.

There are sails along the river, and the horns of the dams pulling ships are heard one after another. Today's canal pier is as busy as usual. The salt, rice, bean noodles from Huainan, seasonal fresh fruit from Lingnan, silk tea from Jiangnan, porcelain, tung oil from Jiangxi... Official ships, merchant ships, and fishing boats are all gathered and unloaded here. It can be said that the grain ships are crowded, and tourists are crowded, and there are endless busy scenes.

A salt ship had just finished unloading the goods, and the sacks piled up on the shore were being transported and loaded by the canal workers one after another, and were about to be shipped to the salt bank in the surrounding counties. At this time, some merchants who could not wait to come to pick up the goods in person with salt guides. They picked up a bag and let the salt ship open it. They scooped up a small spoon and poured it on their hands. They rubbed and observed it. The crystal-like white salt from their fingers was scattered, with a delicate texture, and the goods were of great color.

A group of people came down from an atmospheric merchant ship entering the port, among which the forefront was a strong man with a tall figure, about 45 or 46. He was Zhu Wanquan, the leader of the giant "Zhenhuai Gang", who ruled the largest canal line under his command. His power was spread throughout the Yangtze and Huai Rivers. The canal transportation industry in Yiluo was almost monopolized by him.

He was a crowded person, and there were no less than a hundred men, including martial arts masters who were famous in the world. There was also his wife in the team, surrounded by breastfeeding and maids, who was holding a baby who had just been in full term. Zhu Wanquan had such a son after 100 years of age, so he naturally had a tight baby.

This time he came to Luoyang, nominally, with his wife and children returning to Ning to visit relatives, and went to his mother's family to buy a full moon banquet, but in fact he was secretly conducting an unknown transaction.

Ten days ago, Prime Minister Guisong was able to see a powerful figure in a secret teahouse through his friends in the world.

"I heard that the noble sect acted fiercely and ruthlessly, and was incredible. There was always a spirit of gods and ghosts in the entire martial arts world." Gui Song observed the man sitting opposite him with a cold expression. The black long clothes set off the man with a very gloomy face. Gui Song smiled and asked for tea, "I believe that the noble disciple who was appointed by the emperor to assist the minister must be a golden scale dragon and phoenix?"

The man's eyes fell on the cup and a sneered sneer: "Although the Prime Minister is in the temple, his ears, eyes and minions have probably already penetrated into the martial arts world. Naturally, he knows that the people in the martial arts world have rules for doing things."

Gui Song was silent on his face, but he was really stunned in his heart. He thought that this person seemed to have a little understanding of him. He thought that he was a powerful official in the court and the world. He could still be arrogant and calm in front of him without fear. He was afraid that what he had under his black clothes would definitely be an unfathomable trump card.

"Since I'm working with the Prime Minister for the first time to show my sincerity in forming an alliance, why not let me..." The man in black picked up the teacup but did not drink it, but put it back in front of Gui Song in an open manner, raised his eyes mysteriously with a smile, "Send a meeting gift to the Prime Minister first?"

It was a vigorous and chilling hand.

Gui Song looked down at his strange behavior and slowly raised his eyes. When he looked at each other, he was two tacitly scheming.
