Yang Ruoqing was already on the horse and was about to leave. When she heard Wang Dalong's words, she reined in the reins and looked at him.

After a moment of silence, Yang Ruoqing asked: "Why should I trust you? Please give me a reason to stay."

Wang Dalong took a step forward, his bearded face raised, his eyes full of confidence and pride.

"The Tongtian River is the largest river in this area. It runs from north to south, and ships connecting east and west must pass here. It is an important waterway."

"Both sides of the Tongtian River are surrounded by mountains and ridges. The river is deep and the current is rapid in many places."

"If we change the route to the other side, we will need to take a long detour, which is very inconvenient."

"So, whether it's Wu Xiong's remaining defeated bandits or General Luo's army protecting the country, they all have to pass through the Tongtian River if they want to go to the other side of the river."

"And I, Wang Dalong, am the master of the Tongtian River..."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but laugh.

"I understand, it turns out that Brother Wang, you are the king of inspiration. I have admired you for a long time!" She said, raising her hands and making small fists.

Wang Dalong was stunned for a moment, "What is the King of Inspiration? Why can't I understand?"

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, thinking to herself, since you haven't read Journey to the West, of course you don't know who the King of Inspiration is.

Here, Wang Dalong didn't bother to ask this question, but continued: "The Tongtian River connects to the nearby Poyang Lake. There are many small islands in the lake. On one of them, a group of righteous water pirates are stationed on the road. Their name is

Water Dragon Gang."

"Wait..." Yang Ruoqing suddenly raised her hand to stop Wang Dalong's words.

"Water pirate? Justice? Did I hear you right?" she asked.

Wang Dalong's face turned red and he defended: "The people from the Shuilong Gang have never made trouble for the poor people and fishermen nearby. They only charge a certain toll from large merchant ships passing by."

"And their gang leader is a man who sticks to his word. He will definitely let people go after collecting tolls, and he will never break his promise."

"For this reason, although their gang leader does not have a very high position in the Green Forest, when people who know him mention him, no one ever calls him treacherous, and no one calls him a coward!" he said.

"Brother Wang, are you the leader of the Shuilong Gang?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Wang Dalong was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "I haven't even said anything yet, how come you guessed it, sister?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled again and said: "Shuilong Gang, Wang Dalong, there are dragon characters in them."

"And when you mentioned the Water Dragon Gang, you were all protective in your words, and you were so clear about the terrain nearby. If it were people and things that had nothing to do with you, you wouldn't be so protective. Am I right?" She

ask.

Wang Dalong gave Yang Ruoqing a thumbs up: "Young lady is really smart, you have guessed all this."

Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes. If this could be considered smart, then wouldn't he be shocked and a wise man if he saw other things about her?

"Brother Wang, since you said you are the leader of the Shuilong Gang, why did you and your brothers act like that yesterday?" Yang Ruoqing asked in confusion.

She had wanted to ask this question yesterday after he woke up, but seeing that he was weak and in a bad mental state, she didn't ask.

At this moment, upon hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, the smile on Wang Dalong's face disappeared without a trace.

"I originally took a few brothers out to do errands. When I came back, I passed by here and was ambushed."

"Several of my brothers risked their lives because of me. If I hadn't met you, my eldest sister, I would have lost my life yesterday!"

"I must get this debt back from him!"

Seeing how he was gnashing his teeth, his fists were clenching loudly.

Yang Ruoqing asked doubtfully: "Do you know who wants to harm you?"

Wang Dalong nodded: "The second gang leader of the Shuilong Gang is also my sworn brother. We have gone through life and death together. I regard him as my confidant and hide nothing from him!"

"I only told him the route back. Apart from him, there was no one else!"

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing could probably guess something.

To put it bluntly, the second-in-command is trying to usurp the throne, so he secretly arranges people to kill the boss and then takes over himself.

"Brother Wang, in fact, things like what you experienced should be commonplace in your so-called world, right?" she asked.

Everything in this world is the intersection of yin and yang, black and white.

Black is not completely black, and white is not pure white.

There is the so-called royal family and the layers of government offices under its control. At the same time, there are also underworlds, which can become green forests or rivers and lakes.

Not all talented people are willing to accept the promotion system established by the royal family and the government, and participate in scientific examinations, military examinations, joining the army, and so on.

Some people are rebellious and naturally yearn for freedom. They form their own system, establish such-and-such gangs, etc., and conduct their own business.

Unless some people or things in the world have a negative impact on the government and the court's rule, the court will send troops to suppress them.

Under normal circumstances, the government will not easily interfere in the affairs of the world, and there are also people with lofty ideals in the world.

Brewmaster is one of the representatives.

It is said that when he was fighting against foreign enemies in the northwest, Jiu Xian gathered a group of people from all walks of life to fight against foreign enemies with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to protect his family and country.

Therefore, the Jiuxian can become famous in both the black and white realms and become a highly respected senior.

"Sister, you are right. This kind of thing is nothing in the world. Everyone relies on their ability to get to the top. If your ability is not as good as others, you can't blame anyone if you are dragged down." Wang Dalong's voice sounded next, pulling Yang Ruoqing out of her thoughts.

return.

"It's just that if this kind of thing really happened to me, and the other person was my sworn brother, it would be a very bad feeling!" He added.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "If you die under the sword of your opponent, then you just have to blame yourself for not being good at learning. But if you are stabbed in the back by one of your own, that's different. I understand!"

After saying that, she got off the horse and stood firmly in front of him.

"Okay, I believe you this time, the fish is ready, come and eat!"

After saying these words, she turned around and came to the fire.

Boom, boom, boom, these fat mandarin fish and crucian carp have been roasted until they are golden on both sides, and there is a faint smell of burnt aroma in the air.

"Here, you are a wounded and sick person, you can eat the biggest one," Yang Ruoqing handed Wang Dalong a fish and picked up one to eat.

The wild fish grown in this stream is delicious. After being roasted over a fire, the fish meat is not only soft, fragrant and delicate, but also has a faint sweetness.
