Zhao Yuan said in surprise: "You don't stop me?"

Liu Zhiqing smiled bitterly and asked, "Will I stop you from going?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head. This matter was inevitable. Even if Liu Zhiqing stopped it, it would be useless. He still had to do it.

Liu Zhiqing sighed and said, "Since I can't stop it, why should I stop it? In addition, I think there are naturally your reasons for doing this. Just do it well."

Liu Zhiqing actually knew in her heart that the harder Zhao Yuan worked in Lu Bing, the greater the support for the Liu family. If Zhao Yuan did not agree, the Jinyiwei might cause trouble for the Liu family.

Zhao Yuan nodded and looked at the sleeping child on the bed, with a look of love and compassion.

A hint of blush suddenly surged on Liu Zhiqing's face, and she leaned on Zhao Yuan's shoulder and said softly: "Don't leave tonight, there is a room next door."

...

The next morning, before the servants got up, Zhao Yuan left and headed straight for the western mountain of Taihu Lake.

Xishan is located in Taihu Lake, 80 miles away from Suzhou City. It is also the largest island in Taihu Lake. Because it is separated from the shore, the main path to Xishan is waterway.

There was originally a villa on the island, located below Piaomiao Peak, and there were some residents in the local area, but they hadn't seen the owner of the villa for a long time. It seemed that there were only one or two servants cleaning on weekdays.

The villa is built on the mountain and covers an area of ​​100 acres. There are rumors that this was originally a villa where the leader of the Wuhu Gang and others. After the Wuhu Gang was wiped out by the court, the original servants here also scattered and became so deserted now.

But just a month ago, a large group of people suddenly came, with about a hundred people. The group went straight to build a villa, then set up camp and started setting up tents.

The local residents did not know what their purpose was, so they all looked curiously and inquire about it. Not long after, hundreds of people came one after another. At the same time, they recruited local laborers and gave them very generous treatment. Many local residents also left after hearing the news. The first thing the group of people did after arriving was to build a wharf, which was directly opposite the villa.

There was originally a wharf at that location, but this wharf was a bit small. It was used by residents living on the island to fish, and it was very simple. However, this time it was completely different. The whole wharf was dozens of times larger than the original one. It was all made of stone and was sturdy and durable.

"What a big deal."

The local situation couldn't help but talk about who was building the wharf, and there were even speculations one by one. Some said that it was a retired official from the court, and some said that the rich merchants were ultimately powerful.

There are more and more people building the wharf, with hundreds of people. It took nearly a month to complete the wharf.

After the construction of the pier was completed, residents thought the matter had finished the final work, but this was not the case. In a few days, several large ships slowly approached the pier, and more craftsmen followed, and brought a large amount of wood, stone and other materials from the boat. For a time, the pier became even more busy.

Originally, there was a small road leading from the pier to the villa. At this moment, the road had been widened and solid. The materials transported were directly transported to the front of the villa. The open space in front of the villa was immediately filled with a lot of materials.

The arrival of craftsmen began to rest and expand the villa, and the situation was more than twice as large as the original scale.

Zhao Yuan had arrived at this moment. In the early stage, Lu Bing had sent a total of 100 Jinyiwei, of which 50 were responsible for the protection and order maintenance, and the remaining 50 were responsible for commanding the construction. After the 50 people were defending the backbone disciples of the Iron Blood Sect, they were the 100 households led by the 100 households. These hundred households were not earlier than Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan also knew him, and this person was Wugang.

After Wugang and Zhao Yuan arrived together, Wugang was promoted to hundreds of households in terms of merit and was then asked to come to Taihu Lake, and his family was also traveled together. Before leaving, Lu Bing personally met him, saying that Zhao Yuan asked him to name him. In addition, it was Zhao Yuan's intention to take his family with him.

After Wugang arrived, he placed his family in Suzhou City, and came to Xishan to take over the previous position, and was responsible for the preliminary construction plan of the Iron Blood Sect.

Among the Hundred Jinyiwei, fifty people were responsible for the construction of what they wanted to build and what the building was used for. They were transferred away after the mission was completed, and the remaining fifty people were carefully selected. They were kept a close eye on their identities and had a certain foundation in the martial arts world. At least they seemed to have less official spirit and stronger martial arts world.

As soon as Zhao Yuan boarded the dock, he happened to meet Wugang where to check the goods. When he saw Zhao Yuan, he immediately came up and bowed, "Sir."

But then lowered his voice, looked around, bowed, and said, "I will meet the gang leader. Thank you."

Zhao Yuan was also surprised when Wugang appeared here. He immediately realized that he should be the leader of the Jinyiwei, and smiled and said, "What's there to thank for?"

Wugang sighed: "If it weren't for the gang leader, my subordinates were still eating soil in the barren land outside the pass, and they wouldn't have returned to the Central Plains, and they would have been even more likely to be reunited with their own wife and children."

Wugang is really grateful. He didn't do much in the whole matter, but the rewards he received were very generous. For those Jinyiwei who were still working hard for his merits, he was undoubtedly very lucky.

Perhaps because he was grateful to Zhao Yuan, Lu Bing asked him to come and assist Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "These are all you deserve. Well, looking at the situation, it won't take long, right?"

Wugang nodded and said, "We have gathered craftsmen in a radius of hundreds of miles. According to the current progress, it is estimated that it will be completed in about three months. However, it will take time to recruit disciples under the sect. It will take at least one year to train them to achieve sufficient combat power."

This year is undoubtedly a very fragile and dangerous year for the Iron Blood Sect.

Moreover, the duel between masters is not something that people like me can intervene. There are many disciples under my sect, but it is difficult for masters without support to deal with the provocations of other sects.

Zhao Yuan said: "Don't worry about this. We have many experts. By the way, for the entire sect, you can help me build three separate courtyards. The location and environment must be the best. I wonder if there is such a separate house?"

These three houses are prepared for the Tiger King, Eagle King and Monkey King. Since they are coming, they must bring their families with them, so they must be wary of others' revenge.

Wugang thought for a while and said, "For a separate yard, there are two now, but they are not in the manor. One is halfway up the mountain of Piaomiao Peak and the other is right next to the lake, which one is it."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed.

Zhao Yuan looked in the direction of his finger and saw a vague white wall among the green trees.

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "That handful of the lakeside land is laid on the stone slabs, and the trees are preserved. As for the other one, well, a small courtyard is circled in the original villa."

"yes!"

Wugang agreed, he would not ask whoever is in this courtyard and who lives in it.

The house nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in and take a look."

The two were about to walk inside, when suddenly a subordinate came to report. Wugang's face darkened, he waved his hand and said to Zhao Yuan: "Sect Master, there is an uninvited guest."

"uninvited guest."

Zhao Yuan looked towards the lake and saw two ships with white sails sailing towards him.

Wugang said: "This is the troops from Xuandao Hall."

Zhao Yuan pondered: "Xuan Dao Hall?"

Wugang explained: "When the construction of this place was started, the subordinates sent people to be responsible for keeping abreast of the sects around them. This Xuandao Hall is a relatively large sect in the Taihu area. There are as many as 34 disciples under the sect. When the Wuhu Gang was there, they defected to the Wuhu Gang early, so they were not suppressed by the Wuhu Gang. Instead, they developed very quickly. Their gang leader was also very smart. They did not participate in the things the Wuhu Gang did.

When the imperial court wiped out the Wuhu Gang, they did not lose any losses. Instead, they took advantage of the Wuhu Gang's destruction and took the opportunity to occupy a lot of the Wuhu Gang's sphere of influence. Xishan was originally the Wuhu Gang's sphere of influence. This manor was originally the Wuhu Gang's industry. After the Wuhu Gang's gang, Jinyiwei secretly controlled the villa. It is estimated that there were no people on the Xuandao Hall to build it on the island. Now seeing more and more people on the island and getting bigger and bigger, I guess I want to get a share of it."

Zhao Yuan listened carefully and said, "In other words, if we want to expand, the first obstacle is Xuan Dao Hall?"

Wugang said: "That's right."

Zhao Yuan nodded slightly, looked at the slowly approaching ship, and said, "Okay, we just want to see if this group of people is capable?"

Wugang said, "Then I will call my brothers here?"

Zhao Yuan said: "It's not necessary. Let everyone on the dock come back, so as not to fight in a while, and the sword will be eyeless."

Now most of the docks are workers, and the bearers carry the cargo from the ships.

Wugang nodded and immediately sent an order. After a moment, the workers hurriedly left the dock. The ships that were originally parked on the dock also slowly left, emptying the dock.

The entire dock suddenly became empty, with only Zhao Yuan and Wugang standing there. More than ten feet behind them, the Jinyiwei of more than fifty people stood neatly in two rows, acting as city walls, protecting the workers behind them. They were holding the hilt in their hands, but the knife was not sheathed.

There was a murderous atmosphere at the scene.

The ship of Xuandao Hall slowly approached. Standing on the first ship was the third son of Xuandao Hall. Now the third son of the leader of Xuandao Hall, this man is big and thick and has extraordinary arm strength, so he is called Feng Chao, the green-faced beast in Xuandao Hall.

He was also with him the deacon of the Xuandao Hall, the deacon, and the sword hall, which is the most elite disciple of the Xuandao Hall.

Looking at the workers who had left the dock and those who had already opened their seats, He Pin said proudly: "Besides the reputation of the third young master, these people are quite conscious of the current affairs."

Feng Chao looked at the completion of many projects and said, "I actually did these under our noses and didn't come to worship the dock. I looked down on people too much. Well, I think this place is not bad, and it's not bad to be used as a branch."

He Pin smiled and said, "That's it."

As he said that, he turned around and said to the disciples: "Today we will let this group of people see through it, who has the final say in Taihu Lake."

"yes!"

The disciples of the Knife Hall on the boat said in unison.

The sound was like thunder, and it also came into Zhao Yuan and Wugang's ears with the lake wind.

Wugang smiled and said, "It's pretty good."

His martial arts skills are not very good, but he is not worried.

Zhao Yuan nodded and smiled, "I just don't know if their hands are the same as their momentum. Huh... she is here?"

Zhao Yuan's eyes looked in another direction, a small boat was coming, and a woman in purple stood on the bow of the boat. At this moment, there was a sun in the sky, so she was still holding an umbrella.

The person coming was Cang Wushuang. Zhao Yuan was surprised that she was back so soon. After all, she was going back to Emei, so she only went to Mount Lu.

The boat originally seemed to be behind Xuan Dao Hall, but it was very fast, and then arrived at the dock almost at the same time.

"Whose woman is this?"

Feng Chao looked at Cang Wushuang. Although Cang Wushuang was still covered in tulle and could not see her true face, she knew from her enchanting figure that she was a complete beauty.

Feng Chao was lustful, He Pin knew it, and he smiled when he saw his expression, "If the third young master likes her, then he will catch her. It will be the young master's wedding night tonight. Please take care of her."

He didn't know Yin Yue Sect, and he didn't know that the beautiful-looking woman in front of him would kill without blinking, and he was only targeted at Zhao Yuan when he was gentle.

Feng Chao nodded and shouted: "Get off the boat."

The disciples of the Knife Hall all started to get off the boat when they heard this, but after getting off the boat, they did not walk around, and stood there in a neat line.

As soon as they took a step forward, Cang Wushuang had already arrived ashore and walked towards Zhao Yuan. After that, he walked to Zhao Yuan.

"See the wife of the sect leader."

Wugang said seriously.

Cang Wushuang's pretty face turned slightly red and she said, "I thought you were a decent person, but I didn't expect that my mouth would be so dishonest."

But I feel happy in my heart.

Wugang smiled and said, "The Lord is about to establish the Iron Blood Sect. He is the leader. Of course, you are the leader's wife. This is true for the subordinate to call you."

Cang Wushuang chuckled and said, "You are sweet-mouthed, the girl is happy today. Do you have a daughter?"

Wugang said: "There is a little girl who is four years old this year."

Cang Wushuang said, "At the age of four, well, bring her another day to let me see how qualified I am. If the qualifications are still acceptable, I will pass on my girl a few self-defense songs to avoid being bullied in the future. However, due to my girl's identity, I will only pass on my kung fu and do not need to become a disciple."
