"The top ten in the Who's Who list? I remember the second one is Lu Lingxi. She is also the former No. 1 in Jianghu's Absolute Color." Mo Tie thought for a while and said, "Hey, what is the basis for your Jianghu Absolute Color?"

"This..." Bai Lan said with some embarrassment, "In public, I don't admit that I made it up."

"Haha, I asked you, how come you weren't beaten to death by the second to tenth men? It turns out you are also very cunning." Mo Tie laughed.

Bai Lan smiled coquettishly, her impression of Mo Tie becoming clearer in her mind, and it was no longer as dry as the intelligence.

At the time of the Ming Dynasty, most of Taihu Lake was still in Suzhou Prefecture.

This year's tea party will be held by Taihu Lake.

Mo Tie's only impression of Taihu Lake was the Twelve Chains of Villas, a den of evildoers there, so he was a little puzzled by Bai Lan's choice of location.

"Haha, Mo Shaoxia, you are worrying too much. Although the Twelve Links have been in Taihu Lake for many years, no one knows where they are. I don't think they will expose themselves during the martial arts tea party."

Then why do you have to do it in Taihu?

"Because the sponsor of this year's tea party is the Murong family." Bai Lan explained with a serious face.

He's just the one who paid for it.

After saying this, Mo Tie understood that the two major industries of the Murong family were Fengyue and embroidery, and Su embroidery was unique.

Since time was tight, Mo Tie rested for two days and then set off directly with Bai Lan. Shen Xiyi went out on a mission and never returned home. Shen Lian came back several times. It is said that he has already started working as a sergeant in Jinyi Guard.

Along the way, the most that Bai Lan told Mo Tie was not about the martial arts tea party, but Taihu delicacies.

"You have missed the good time, the autumn fat has passed, otherwise you will be sure to eat a bowl of spring bamboo shoots and fish without leaving your tongue. It is best to eat it in a boat on the lake. Often the lake girls have extraordinary craftsmanship and simple dishes.

The hot diced broad beans, a sip of daughter's red, that's the world." Bai Lan kept selling, and he couldn't help but think about it.

It seems that Bai Lan is very familiar with Taihu Lake and comes here often, but apart from the Twelve Links Wharf, what else is there to see here?

Could it be that the Twelve Links dock was supported by the imperial court? Just like where there is light, there is darkness.

"Mr. Bai, have you ever been to Twelve Links Station?"

Bai Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Young Master Mo misunderstood, I am from Suzhou." After a pause, he added, "The Twelve Links Dock is a cancer, and I also have a headache, but according to the information, it is not at all

The name of the place is the name of a ship. The owner of the ship should be Yin Guan, the "butcher" of the Taihu underworld, and Gao Guangzu, the "Kututuo". The place where the ship stayed is the Twelve Chain Dock. Therefore, I want to find the Shiliu Lianwu dock on Taihu Lake.

Erlianwuwu is like finding a needle in a haystack, it’s very rare.”

"After all these years, you still can't find it?" Mo Tie didn't believe it. Taihu Lake is such a big place and there are so many fishing boats making a living. Someone must have seen it.

"Shaoxia Mo is new to the world, so he doesn't know anything." Bai Lan said with a smile, as if it was interesting to explain this kind of thing to a rookie in the world, "Although Twelve Links is a den of villains, it also has its own rules. Escape to Twelve Links.

People from the Twelve Links Wharf are not allowed to step out of Taihu Lake unless you leave the Twelve Links Wound. Once you leave, the Twelve Links Wound will no longer accept you. Therefore, rumors about the Twelve Links Wound have begun to circulate in the world.

It has been almost thirty years, and the arbitrator has changed several times, but I have never heard of any conflict between it and other martial arts sects.

"Moreover, once those evildoers enter Twelve Links Pier, they rarely come out. Most of them die in Taihu Lake. Friends in the Jianghu know that they can no longer do any evil, except those who have the hatred of killing their fathers and taking away their wives. Very few of them come out. Few people would go to Twelve Links Pier to chase the murderer."

"Is it just a prison in disguise?" Mo Tie said understandingly.

Bai Lan nodded: "It can be said that the imperial court also hopes that the Twelve Chain Wound Stations can always abide by its own rules, so that it can save us a lot of trouble."

Mo Tie was silent for a while and asked: "Does the imperial court know the forces behind the Twelve Chain Wound Stations?"

Bai Lan said solemnly: "I don't know. I understand what you mean. The world is always at odds with each other, but Twelve Links Wu really has no exchange of interests with others, at least the court has not found it. This is why I have never let down my guard against them. reasons."

Mo Tie nodded. Although he didn't agree with the existence of such a mysterious organization in his heart, even Bai Lan said there was nothing he could do, so he stopped asking any more questions.

Before entering Suzhou Mansion, the Murong family greeted Bai Lan outside the city.

I have to say that people named Murong are really fat people. Mo Tie thought that Murong Wandai was already fat enough, but he didn't expect that his brother Murong Qianqiu was even fatter and looked greasy.

"Brother Murong, you're fine." Mo Tie quickly took Murong Wandai's hand and ran aside. He didn't want to accompany Bai Lan to do some social work, he was too tired.

What he did was actually very rude. He didn't even say hello to Murong Qianqiu, but just took his acquaintance and walked away first.

However, Murong Qianqiu obviously didn't mind and looked at Mo Tie with a smile, as if looking at a wayward younger brother.

"Brother Mo," Murong Wandai said with a bitter face, "the elders in the family are going to scold me for making careless friends again."

Mo Tie glanced at him and said: "Pretend. I am the best in the world. Which elder dares to scold you like this?"

Murong Wandai immediately said with a smile: "That's right. But, Brother Mo, are you sure you will participate in this year's martial arts tea party?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I follow Bai Lan?"

"I still believe in Brother Mo's ability. It's just that this year's tea party may be different from previous years." Murong Wandai looked at Mo Tie and said.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm not hosting the tea party." Mo Tie said strangely.

"Haha," Murong Wandai unconsciously held the jade ring in his hand, "Brother Mo was so powerful last year, but it was the Pai Gang of the ten sects that fell, so this year, Mr. Bai proposed to re-elect the ten sects. Send ten people from each group to decide the seats through a competition."

"Oh?" Mo Tie noticed the problem, "Why wasn't it chosen last year? I remember that when I left Hangzhou, last year's tea party hadn't started yet."

"There is not enough time. It has only been a few days and the various sects have not reached an agreement privately. If they really want to compete on the stage, their brains will definitely be beaten. Doesn't this violate the purpose of Bai Gong's martial arts tea party? .”

"Does this thing still have a purpose?" Mo Tie asked in surprise.

"Look at what you said. It's not like the various sects are bored, so why should they get together when they have nothing to do? The purpose of the Wulin Tea Party is to resolve all disputes this year, so that we can still be friends next year."

That's right, this is in the interests of the majority of people.
