Bai Liang was flustered and exasperated. He came back to report and Pan Loong flew into a rage, "Heh, it's not a blessing, it's a curse. Bai Liang, carry all the injured to the back for treatment. " The next day, Pan Loong personally led Bai Liang and all the escort workers to the West Lake.

When Huang Cann heard that the Flying Dragon Escort Office was going to fight with their lives on the line, he thought: Let's do it. It seems like we can't just let it go, so he brought everyone to the West Lake. The leaders on both sides were present. When they got here, they started fighting. Fortunately, at Qian Tang County's bookkeeper, Meng Guangren, the county magistrate and a portion of his officials rushed to the scene to stop the two parties. They agreed on the spot.

Meng Guangren proposed to fish according to the predetermined boundaries, and not to exceed. Huang Cann thought for a moment and stopped. Pan Loong had nothing else to say. That night, Bai Liang came to Pan Loong's room, "Pan Escort Owner, are we going to eat this? I, Bai Liang, am nothing much, but Pan Escort Owner, you are in the same profession as me, and you are a man of status.

"Bai Liang, the officials have to mediate. Besides, we are responsible for crossing the border to catch fish. How can we say yes? I can only blame myself. "

"Pan Escort Owner, you can't fight him. I, Bai Liang, would peck him even if he were a chick. Tomorrow, I'll go find him with a knife. You don't know, I can't even hold my head up when people talk about you being soft!"

This sentence infuriated Pan Loong. "Pa!" He slapped the table and said: "Bai Liang, let's go fight with those surnamed Huang and tell everyone in the escort company to bring their weapons with them and follow me to the West Lake. "If I don't kill him, my surname is not Pan!" Bai Liang's heart: "Pan Escort Owner, with your words will do, surnamed Bai will not be vague! "Please give me fifty silver taels first. I'll arrange for it to be arranged."

"Fine."

Bai Liang was happy. He took the silver and informed everyone. You want a street, another industry, there is no impermeable fence. Huang Cann knew. He thought to himself: I've met my nemesis. Let's do it. He was also ready to go.

The next morning Huang Cann took them to the shore of the West Lake to wait. It wasn't long before Pan Loong arrived with his men. The two sides were at loggerheads. Huang Cann tapped his finger on the table. "Pan Loong, I'll bear with you. You think I'm weak, but I don't care. Today, we're going to fight to the death." As he spoke, he pushed the handle of his saber to its breaking point and drew the steel blade from its scabbard. During the night battles, he hid the saber stance in all directions.

Pan Loong, on the other hand, was a person who didn't like speaking words. Since he couldn't speak properly, he also pulled back his knife. With his left hand showing off his face, he used his right hand to wrap around his head while slashing his shoulder with his back. Taking a left step, Huang Cann drew his head back to dodge while his right hand followed up with the saber in his right hand and swept towards the opponent to block.

Pan Loong tiptoed and dodged with his leg. The two of them started fighting on the spot. At first, neither side wanted to engage in a free-for-all. However, Bai Liang coldly shouted, "Brothers, since you've eaten beans and grown bugs, come at me together with the yak formation!" One word was enough to kill two people on both sides. One hundred and two hundred people were fighting with swords in their hands. Sword lights, sword shadows, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere.

Local people had long run to the Qiantang County to report. The county magistrate was furious when he heard this. He ordered the two garrison guards to lead two hundred warriors and thugs. He got on a palanquin and personally led them to the shore of the West Lake to arrest the ringleader. Three from the Golden Dragon Escort Office died, twelve were severely injured, and twenty-four lightly injured.

Seven from the Flying Dragon Escort Office had died, eleven seriously injured, and thirty-two lightly injured. However, Master Cao was frightened. This matter was of great importance and the small county magistrate could not make the decision. He immediately sent a message, "Take Pan Loong and Huang Cann to the county magistrate."

Huang Cann knelt in front of the county magistrate, "Please advise the lord. This matter was caused by Pan Loong and I." Please be merciful, Great Master. Huang Cann is willing to be released on parole, because there are so many dead and injured that no one else can deal with it. "When things are done, the sinner will come to the yamen to apologize and will not go back on his word." Pan Loong also asked for parole insurance, and the case ended with a lawsuit.

At this moment, Hu Wentao, the prefect of Hangzhou, came on official business. In fact, Chief Steward Hu was afraid that Cao Cheng would take advantage of him, but he was also afraid that he would keep it for himself. He knew that Huang Cann and Pan Loong were rich people and were the local tycoons.

Cao Cheng wrote three reports and submitted them to Hangzhou. He also allowed Huang Cann and Pan Loong to take out their insurance simultaneously. The two of them took out the insurance, marked the watermark and each returned to their respective bodyguards. Burying the dead, healing the wounded, and burying the family members. The two of them went to the county, where Cao Cheng reported the case to Hangzhou.

Please pay the master of calligraphy, each writing a confession, stating the reasons for the operation of the government, as well as the Qian Tang, Ren He two counties.

This silver was spent like flowing water. Lord Hu Wentao had received too many bribes on one hand, reason on both sides on the other, and also the rules of the escort company on the other. In the end, Hu Wentao invited two county magistrate to conduct an interrogation. After that, the verdict was: Under the North Peak, both sides will pay to set up an arena.

Within a time limit of one hundred days, if Huang Cann loses, the fish invitation will be returned to Pan Loong; if Pan Loong loses, the fish invitation will be returned to Huang Cann; if the deadline is not decided, it can be postponed. At the start of the match, Qian Tong, Ren He and two county officials ordered the pressure. When the two sides fought in the arena, each side would be able to rely on their own ability, while the other side would bear the responsibility whether it was dead or injured.

Besides, when Huang Cann returned to the escort office, it would be a small matter to sit in the house and worry about how much money he had spent. Pan Loong's Master and Martial Uncle were both Martial Ancestors, so he might not be able to beat him.

At that moment, Wang Sanhu came in. Huang Cann did not dare to underestimate Wang Sanhu. Firstly, he was an old man in front of his master, secondly, he was invited from his master. Thirdly, he was loyal and always taught Wu Tie to walk the right path.

"Third brother, sit down." Wang Sanhu sat down.

"What's the matter, third brother?"

"Huang Escort Owner, from the time you've returned until now, you've been in a daze. What are you thinking about?"

Huang Cann let out a long sigh: "Hai, I was worried."

"What are you worrying about?"

"Third brother, I'm afraid I can't beat Pan Tong in this challenge."

"Hahaha, are you afraid that he'll hire someone?"

"That's right! His Master and Martial Uncle are both amazing experts, so we can only admit defeat. "

"Don't you know how to hire someone when he invites you?"

"Ai, third brother. Where can we find experts? "

"Huang Escort Owner, this is a critical moment, you should report it to them."

Huang Cann shook his head and said, "You're asking my Master and Uncle to go?"

"Of course."

"No!" Besides, I have never been filial to my master. He is so old, I can't bear to find trouble with him. "

"You are wrong, I have served the old man for dozens of years. I understand his character, he has nothing to do, he does not cause trouble, and he is not afraid of trouble. This can't be over without him. You are his disciple, and he will not stand idly by. Write to me if you don't understand. "

Unable to do so, Huang Cann wrote the letter and asked Sanhu to take the fare to the manor house, where Sanhu had no idea that the prince, Lee Yuan, and Ji Wuye were being entertained.

After Sanhu told them what had happened, the Prince and the others were also very angry when they heard it. Hearing this, the old man smiled, "Go and rest, then bring the fare back to see Huang Cann. Tell him that I'll be going to Hangzhou very soon, we'll talk when we meet again."

Wang Sanhu bowed and left. The prince was stunned, he thought that the old hero had already agreed to let Ji Wuye get the Second Young Master to invite the national treasure, but why did he also agree to let his disciple to fight? The prince was embarrassed to ask, he looked at Lee Yuan, Old Hero Li understood, he cupped his fist and said, "Brother, I have a question for you." The old man nodded, "Eldest Brother, please speak."

"You have already promised Brother Ji Wuye to kidnap the thieves, why would you agree to be in the arena of my nephew, Huang Cann?" The old man smiled and said, "Eldest Brother, you don't know, You Xiaobao and the others stole the national treasure's words on the paper, it seems that they have friends at Sanjiang, so after committing the crime, they will not dare to return to Yunnan." I know that Li Taiji Sect is very strict. It seems like they can only wander outside and hide in the Three Rivers. This is number one.

Also, since they tried to assassinate you in your house, it looks like the two of them are still in the vicinity. Actually luring the snake out of its hole, this was number two.

Also, Ji Wuye is going to solo a family of martial arts, the ring can attract people from all over the world, can make Ji Wuye and Wu Lin close, make more friends, can establish a martial arts base, this is third.

Fourth, since Ji Wuye left Beijing with Master, and Master also likes to go with Wu Lin, let Master also hear and see some of the martial arts and chivalry situation.

Furthermore, Ji Wuye originally wanted to congratulate the good name of Jianghu, so all of this had to be done by us brothers. Eldest brother, have you thought about it? If our brothers were to step forward and throw their books all over the place, they would have someone who would look down on us!

Wouldn't it save us a lot of trouble if we set up the Hangzhou Arena? Prince, Brother Li, Ji Wuye, the three of you, listen to my words, right? "

The prince was very grateful when he heard this. "The old chivalrous hero is always thoughtful and thoughtful. The viscount understood Old Knight's foresight. Taking the Second Young Master to ask for the national treasure was of course important, but if he couldn't get them, he could just go to Yunnan and ask for their family's adults. And this Hangzhou volley was a golden opportunity for Ji Wuye to enter Wulin for the first time. This Viscount thanks you, and on behalf of Ji Wuye, thank you all. "

Ji Wuye also stood up and kowtowed to his brother in gratitude.

After the meal, everyone had a drink and a chat. The old man ordered Nuan and Ruan Shi to pack up their belongings, as well as their clothes and luggage. He then prepared a horse and accompanied the prince to the entrance of the village.

Hou Jia Village was also surrounded by trees and forests, the scenery was very beautiful, the prince was enjoying himself, he also visited Nestle's grave, the bright green river water was clear, and there were only a few fish swimming in the river, swimming until the sun set in the west before returning home. The Marquis wiped his face, rinsed his mouth, and brought the lamp to his hand. He then set up the banquet, which consisted of two pieces of meat: beef and sheep. After three rounds of drinking, five dishes were served.

At that moment, there was a "clang" and the sound of a gong came from outside. It was the sound of the village fire. Ruan He came in from the outside and said, "Master, there is a fire around Hou Jia Village."

When the old hero heard this, he stood up and even the Prince walked out. Ji Wuye opened the bag and carried the two axes. He also walked out and stood in the yard.

The sky was already red! There were shouts from the west, north, and east sides as they were burned by the flames. Actually, the moment Ji Wuye came out, he smelled sulphur and saltpeter, and he knew that someone purposely set the fire going.

Can't Old Knight Hou Zhenyuan smell it? The old man felt displeased. For so many years, the people of the Hou clan had not even lost a single thorn in the grass because of my brother's living here. Why is it that when the prince came today, there were thieves setting fire to them? Where is your face?

"Brother Lee Yuan, protect the prince at home. Second brother Hou Jie, take Yan Bao, Bao Xin, Hou Jun, Hou Yu, Zhang Wang and a portion of your family members to save the fire. "Tell the villagers that only the population is safe, that the firewood of the houses is burned, and that my brothers will pay for everything."
