"It's really thick. Even if we send a large number of civilians to break it down, it will take a month." He muttered. It seems that the only way to achieve this is to cooperate from inside and outside and open the floodgates.

Lou Xinyue said at this time: "Look, there is someone over there!"

Guan Ning's eyes swept over and saw many houses on both sides of the embankment, like a town, but there were very few women. Almost all of them were men, and they did not do farm work. They seemed to be guarding here, forming a circle to prevent people from approaching.

In addition, there is a wooden bridge on the embankment with eighteen iron chains extending from top to bottom, seemingly connecting something.

Guan Ning could tell at a glance that it was the switch of the gate!

Just as he was about to go forward to see how many people were stationed on the wooden bridge, he suddenly heard a series of noises.

Wow!

The grass was pulled apart.

"Who?" The three of them turned around at the same time.

Suddenly, a little girl with pigtails appeared behind the three of them, with an innocent smile on her face. "Brother and sister, what are you doing here?"

Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue looked at each other.

Lou Xinyue smiled and took out a piece of candy cake from her sleeve: "Be good, little sister, go play somewhere else. Don't come here. There is a river and it's dangerous."

Her voice was rarely so gentle, it was just that the little girl looked so cute, like a little angel.

"Thank you, big sister." The little girl came closer, not feeling scared at all. Instead, she was curious about the stranger's face and reached out to take the candy cake.

Lou Xinyue picked up the girl.

Guan Ning was still wondering how there could be a child in such a remote place, when suddenly!

The sound of footsteps was heard, and from the depths of the forest, seven or eight figures walked out, looking nervous, staring at Guan Ning and the other two.

Seeing that it was a stranger, the atmosphere almost froze!

"Dad!" the little girl shouted with a smile on her face, not knowing what was going on.

"Rong'er!" A middle-aged man exclaimed, his face instantly ugly, revealing a bloodthirsty edge: "Who are you?!"

The eight burly men behind him all reached for the hilts of their swords, and an invisible murderous aura began to spread, causing the air pressure on both sides to drop to an extremely low level.

"It's over, it's someone from the Linghu family!" Hua Wuque hid behind Guan Ning and spoke in a nervous voice.

Guan Ning frowned and muttered to himself, could this be such a coincidence?

"We had no ill intentions. My wife was just worried that the little girl would run around and fall into the water."

"Then give her to me!" The middle-aged man was obviously very nervous, with fierce eyes flashing constantly, and he seemed to have guessed the identities of Guan Ning and the other two at this moment.

Both sides knew the truth, but neither took the initiative to act.

Guan Ning glanced at Lou Xinyue, and Lou Xinyue directly put the little girl on the ground.

"Rong'er, come here!" The middle-aged man looked at Guan Ning and the other two warily, stretched out his hand, and the rest of his men were all ready!

But just when the battle was about to break out, the little girl stood in the middle and held Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue's hands.

"Dad, don't be so fierce."

"Can I have my older brother or sister play with me?"

The middle-aged man's face looked unhappy, but he squeezed out a touch of kindness: "Rong'er, be obedient and come here first."

"No, no!"

"Rong'er, it's not fun to play alone. I want older brothers and sisters to play with me."

"Dad~"

The little girl is acting coquettishly and is extremely innocent.

The middle-aged man looked a little anxious, but he suppressed his temper. It was obvious that he doted on his daughter very much.

"Okay, Dad promises you, come here." He said with a smile.

The little girl then trotted over.

Guan Ning was surprised. Is this guy a daughter slave?

He did not stop it. No matter whether the other party was the second in command of the Linghu family, he would not choose to achieve his goal by kidnapping a little girl.

The child is innocent.

The middle-aged man really did not give the order to attack, as if he felt that it would be inappropriate to shout and kill with his daughter here.

"Since we're here, why don't we sit down and have some tea?" the middle-aged man said quietly.

Guan Ning smiled faintly: "I couldn't ask for more."

The middle-aged man picked up his daughter and gave his men a look.

"Big brother, big sister, come to my house and play!"

"Follow up quickly!"

"Rong'er hasn't played with anyone for a long time." The little girl chattered enthusiastically in her father's arms.

It is hard to imagine that in such an evil place like Fengdu River, there could be such a father and daughter, and they are from the Linghu family. This is totally unexpected.

Lou Xinyue looked at Guan Ning, as if asking, what should we do?

Guan Ning thought that since he had been caught anyway, he said, "Let's go."

Lou Xinyue followed closely behind, and Hua Wuque even covered his entire face, fearing that others would recognize him.

The eight men did not attack, but surrounded the three men and pressed very close.

One after the other, they arrived at the town beside the embankment.

The waterfall rushes down, creating huge water mist and noise, but it does not affect the tranquility here at all. This is the upper reaches, the water is clear, far from comparable to the lower reaches of Fengdu River, and the flowers and plants raised here are very beautiful.

Even the people here are all dressed neatly and cleanly, with no sign of people eating meat and drinking with their upper bodies naked, or of a smoky and foul atmosphere.

When they stepped in here, Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue were slightly surprised.

Is this really the territory of the five major families of Fengdu River?

At least in the past few days, Guan Ning has never seen any normal people in Fengdu River.

"Rong'er, can you please go in and pour Dad a cup of tea?"

As soon as he entered the yard, the middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll pour a cup for big brother and big sister too." The little girl came down from the arms, smiled at Guan Ning and the others, and then ran into the house.

The middle-aged man watched them go.

As soon as the little girl entered the room, more people immediately came out from all around the yard. There were at least fifty of them, all holding weapons, looking coldly at Guan Ning and the other two.

The three of them were surrounded in an instant.

Hua Wuque trembled, not knowing what to do.

Lou Xinyue held the sword with one hand, her beautiful eyes cold.

Guan Ning seemed very calm.

"You are the three people who caused trouble in Xiangfengtang recently. You are so brave that you even dare to come to my Linghu family's territory." The middle-aged man turned around and looked directly at Guan Ning.

The father's kindness just now disappeared at this moment, and what was left was a sense of oppression from the gangsters.

Guan Ning glanced around and said, "I came here with no ill intentions. I simply wanted to pay a visit to Senior Linghu Bei."

Linghu Bei was stunned on the spot. Visit?

He narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"Su Wen, the second in command of the Linghu family, is kind and benevolent, unlike those people, so I admire him and come to visit him." Guan Ning said half-truthfully.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, Linghu Bei felt it was difficult to bully the weak with his numbers.

"Humph!"

"Come on this!"

"Since you haven't set your sights on my daughter, I'll give you one chance. You have thirty breaths to escape. Once that time is up, I'll send someone after you. If I can't catch you, you'll be lucky."

"If I catch you, I will hand you over." Linghu Bei said coldly, then waved his hand, and his men opened a passage without saying a word.
