Mengjin Town was bustling as usual. People came and went, and the roadside vendors were selling their goods enthusiastically.
When Xie Xuan and Jian Chen stepped into Mengjin Town, they found that the entire town was even noisier than before. The brothels and pleasure boats that were originally open at night were actually very lively early in the morning.
Seeing this, Jian Chen pulled a passerby over and asked,""Big brother, may I ask why your town is so lively today?”
The passerby said," Hehe, a large caravan came to town. It is said that they did a big business and made a lot of money. Their boss rewarded them with silver and stayed here for a few days. All the brothels and pleasure boats here have been booked by them.”
Jian Chen wanted to ask more, but Xie Xuan shook his head, indicating that he should not ask any more questions. After that, the two of them drove to Mengjin Tavern.
As soon as Xie Xuan stepped into the tavern, Sister Tao said in surprise,"Aiyo, I was wondering why I heard magpies chirping this morning. It turns out that Young Hero Xie is here.”
Sister Tao immediately extended her hand and invited Xie Xuan to a dining table. She said enthusiastically,"I missed you so much."
Xie Xuan sat down casually and said to Sister Tao,"Sister Tao, I'm afraid you're not thinking about me as a person, but the silver in my arms.”
When Sister Tao heard this, she rebuked," Look at what you're saying. I miss your money and your people. Who in the martial arts world doesn't know about your heroic deeds of destroying five gangs in a row?"”
"It's just a chicken and a dog. It's not worth mentioning. Sister Tao, quickly get the waiter to serve some food and wine.”Xie Xuan said in an exaggerated tone.
Sister Tao ordered a waiter to prepare the dishes and wine. She poured a cup of tea for Xie Xuan and said,"Young hero Xie, you didn't come here just for a meal, did you?”
Xie Xuan and Jian Chen exchanged a glance and said,"Since we're so familiar with each other, I'll get straight to the point.”
"My beloved horse was stolen by two people wearing gold clothes with two red horses on the back. Sister Tao, please check which gang this is.”
When Sister Tao heard this, she smiled and said,"I know what Young Hero Xie said. That pair of clothes with the red horse logo should belong to a famous horse gang in the Jianghu, called the Twin Horse Gang.”
Xie Xuan nodded and gestured for her to continue. Sister Tao continued,"The Twin Horse Gang is located in the north of Mengjin. They mainly do business with bandits. The members of the gang are all thieves. Their leader is also a thief who indulges his subordinates to do whatever they want and harm the area.”
Xie Xuan said," Alright, since they are the ones who are causing trouble, I will take the opportunity to destroy them. May I ask Sister Tao, where is the Twin Horse Gang now?"”
Sister Tao's face revealed a difficult expression. She subconsciously glanced at Xie Xuan's purse. Xie Xuan immediately understood and took out a thousand taels of silver from his pocket."Sister Tao, this is the fee for the information. You can tell me now, right?”
Sister Tao reached out and took the banknote. She smiled and said,"Young hero Xie, you came at the right time. A group of people from the Twin Horse Gang is having fun in the Qinhuai pleasure boat in the city.”
Xie Xuan cupped his hands and said," Thank you, Sister Tao. Please ask the waiter to bring the food up. I'll come back to eat after I'm done."”
With that, Xie Xuan led Jian Chen towards the north of the city.
Seeing that the two of them had gone far away, Sister Tao shook the banknote in her hand and said indifferently,"It's really a pity for a good customer. Don't blame me, I had no choice.”
……
On the other side, Xie Xuan brought Jian Chen to the north of the city. There were more than ten pleasure boats in the river north of the city. The largest one had a plaque hanging on it, and on it were two words: Qin Huai.
From time to time, the delicate cries of women and the laughter of men could be heard from the pleasure boat, making people unable to help but imagine the scene inside the pleasure boat.
When Jian Chen heard these voices, his face turned red. Xie Xuan knew that he was thin-skinned, so he said to him,"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon.”
After saying that, Xie Xuan jumped onto the pleasure boat. The boatman on the pleasure boat saw a youth with a sword on his back jump onto the boat, but he did not stop him. Instead, he said in a flattering manner,"Grandpa, do you want to play too?”
Xie Xuan ignored him and kicked open the door of the pleasure boat. Xie Xuan looked over and didn't see the extravagant scene he had imagined. The voices in the pleasure boat instantly became quiet.
Within the pleasure boat, there were more than ten corpses lying on the ground. There were beautiful women and strong men. Without exception, all of them had their throats snapped.
Other than the corpses on the ground, there were more than ten people on the pleasure boat staring at Xie Xuan.
The atmosphere in the pleasure boat became unusually oppressive. No one spoke. The killing intent of these ten-some people was all concentrated on Xie Xuan.
Among these people, there was a middle-aged man sitting on an armchair. He wore a black cloak and yellow leather armor. He had a full beard and looked very domineering. His eyes were emitting a terrifying killing intent.
Although Xie Xuanchu was a martial artist, it didn't mean that he didn't know how to read people's faces. He could feel a pressure from the man in front of him. It was the aura of a strong man.
Xie Xuan glanced at the people present and said,""Everyone, I'm here to find the Twin Horse Gang.”
The middle-aged man pointed at the person on the ground and said,"Yes, these people on the ground are the ones you're looking for.”
The Twin Horse Gang had actually been killed just after he jumped onto the pleasure boat.
"Looks like I've been tricked by you guys.”Xie Xuan shook his head and pulled out the treasured saber Black Dragon from his back.
He really didn't expect that this was actually a serial scheme. Starting from the horse theft to Sister Tao in Mengjin Tavern, this was a meticulously arranged ambush. It was very clever. Xie Xuan was now trapped in layers of encirclement.
Xie Xuan coldly looked at the middle-aged man and said,""May I ask who you are?"
"Hehe, kid, listen up!”A cloaked man walked out from behind the middle-aged man and said,"This is the City Lord of Wushuang City, Dugu Yifang!”
Xie Xuan continued to look at Dugu Yifang coldly,""Are you here to avenge Shi Wu Zun?”
Dugu Yifang stood up and said to Xie Xuan,""Xie Xuan, you destroyed five of my sects and killed Shi Wuzun. You have crossed my bottom line. Today, even if Xiong Ba comes personally, I will kill you here!”
Dugu Yifang's body emitted a terrifying aura, and an invisible pressure pressed down on Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan knew that this was the strongest opponent he had encountered since he started his career.
Even the dozen or so people behind Dugu Yifang were all experts. Under such circumstances, the situation was extremely critical.
"Hehe, a sure-kill situation? I don't think so." Xie Xuan raised his long saber and pointed it at Dugu Yifang.
