Somewhere in Pengli Lake, a narrow island is surrounded by boats. These ships are like houses floating on the water, and together with the island, form a market floating on the water.

The ship market is the name of this spontaneously forming a water market. There are no tax collectors here. Fishermen and boatmen from all over the country gather here regularly to form a lively market.

Fishermen, boatmen, and businessmen all get what they want.

Just like the grass market in the countryside, the ship market is held every once in a while, lasting for two or three days. During this period, the ships gathered are bustling with all kinds of people.

Various tents and straw sheds are also set up on the island, and merchants from all over the country set up street stalls on the island, and trade with all kinds of people.

After the ship market ended, the ships dissipated like clouds, and the noisy island returned to its original tranquility, with blue sky and white clouds, and still deserted.

In a corner of the ship market, Wu Xiang, who had an adult hair bun, was drinking and flirting with the secret prostitute who accompanied him. His proficiency was very different from a year ago.

He came here a year ago, as if he was on a chopping board, and he didn't dare to look elsewhere. He left as if he had done business, let alone flirting with the women who were drinking.

Now that a year has passed, Wu Xiang’s face has been developed, and he will not blush even if he rubs against the wine-sponsored woman, and he will become more and more at ease.

Of course, this is all due to the heavy copper coins in the pocket.

This ship market is very famous. Wu Xiang has been with Aye before, Li Li and Liang Sen have also come, but everyone sells fishing catches here, buys daily necessities and goes back, and is reluctant to spend money to buy wine.

He wouldn't flirt with secret prostitutes who were drinking: even if it wasn't that, people would have to charge money for drinking.

And these little ladies who accompany the drink are well-informed and want to hear useful news from the other party, they also need money.

"It's not peaceful everywhere recently..." The wine-satisfied the wine-sponsored Wu Xiang and poured wine, saying, "I heard that many villages compete for territory from each other, and the original rules are probably not worth it."

"Does there be any misunderstanding between them? Why are they safe and secure for so many years now starting to grab territory?"

After Wu Xiang asked, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He looked at the direction of the island outside the window and asked casually: "Where are the leaders? Do you care?"

"Oh, what's the matter? The villages had already had old grudges. The boss could tolerate it. How could the people waiting to stand up below to stand it?"

"Is that right?" Wu Xiang took his gaze back, stuffed a few copper coins into the neckline of the wine-accompanied lady. When he pulled his hand back, he touched the other person's cheek and asked, "Is it possible that something happened that made many people a little impatient?"

"Of course..." Seeing that the kid was so experienced and generous, the wine-accompanied woman said all the information she had inquired: "I heard that someone got the banned armor, so she became bolder."

"Armor? Didn't it exist before? Why is it so special now?"

"My husband doesn't know anything. I heard that the bold armor that makes people now call the ring lock armor is very soft and cannot be penetrated. When you wear it on your body, it is like a clothes, and you can't tell it."

"So, the people who got the ring lock armor became bolder and began to plot against others. Now, let alone grab territory between the village, those who want to be the boss in the village also have their minds."

"I heard that this collar ring lock armor can be sold for more than 150,000 yuan. I can't buy it even if I want to... Oh... I'm so bad!"

Wu Xiang deliberately poured the wine from the wine glass onto the little lady's chest and wet a small piece. The little lady became coquettish, but it stuck even tighter.

"My hands are shaking, don't be angry." Wu Xiang put a small bag of money in the other party's arms and asked again: "Then, I want to buy this ring lock armor, I don't know..."

"I can't do it...but..."

The little lady used her fingers to draw circles on Wu Xiang's chest, drawing circles and circles: "You guy knows it. I think the original rules are probably not going to work."

"What do you mean?" Wu Xiang took out a piece of silver jewelry, shook it in front of the little lady, and then inserted it into the other person's hair bun: "I'm really frightened by the news of you."

"Don't panic, it has nothing to do with others." The young lady smiled and lowered her voice: "The rules set by the older generation, the younger generation did not dare to say anything..."

"However, with the ring lock armor, many people became more courageous and thought that it was really annoying for the old guys to occupy a seat. The rules should be changed, so..."

"The rules set before were nothing but everyone could do anything to each other, so they sat down and talked, making money with harmony. Now, some people rely on their subordinates to have ring lock armor and are not afraid of swords and arrows, so they have to bully the weak and set new rules."

"Today, there are several masters and ship owners who meet on the island to make the conversation clear. I heard that this older generation is still thinking about following the rules, so we have to control our younger generations."

Wu Xiang asked: "Can they control it?"

"Who knows?" the young lady chuckled gently, "Didn't these heads turn over the people on their heads before then and then sit in that position?"

Wu Xiang asked thoughtfully: "In other words, what will happen to the party on the island?"

"Yes, something might happen in a short while. At that time, everyone will flee, and they are crowding around. I'm afraid something will happen. You must be careful."

"Then I'll squeeze you around, will something happen?" Wu Xiang pinched the little lady's face, put a small bag of money on the desk, and then stood up: "I'll come to you later, if the ship market is still there."

The young lady collected the money and asked, "I wonder what news did you want to know?"

"I want to know who will last laugh after these two days."

After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he walked towards the cabin door and the little lady hurriedly saw him off. As soon as he left the cabin, he saw a fire rising from the island and thick smoke rising into the sky: it was the tent set up on the island, and the straw shed was on fire.

"It's starting." Wu Xiang looked at the spreading fire and said lightly. Seeing that the surrounding ships were panicked and untied the cables and were about to escape, he was not panicked.

With sharp blades and murderous intentions suddenly arise, the ring lock armor without any lethality can also achieve similar effects.

As Li Li said, the ring lock armor can be used as fertilizer, allowing the suspicion and ambitions of many Shanhu people and the big and small leaders to grow rapidly.

If you wear ring lock armor on your body and wear outer clothes as a cover, you can’t see the appearance. The chance of success of a sudden attack is greatly increased and it can gain the upper hand in fighting.

The opponent is eager to cut himself to death, but he can cut him to death, so the battle between the weak begins.

When the lower-ranking people want to take up the throne and are fearless, the old rules cannot be maintained. The trust and tacit understanding between the village are broken, and the relationship between the master and slaves within the village will also be broken.

The so-called order will slowly collapse.

This process cannot be completed in one or two months, and may last for several years, but there is no doubt that when the old and new orders change, there will inevitably be chaos. Everyone is busy taking advantage of the troubled waters and has no time to think about it.

I won't notice that some things are changing.

These changes were achieved by using the ring lock armor without any lethality, and were supplemented by rumors and appropriate provocation, which gradually made suspicious among the villages and the inside of the villages.

As Li Li said, the ring lock armor itself is nothing, and the ambition and suspicion that is fueled by it is the man-eating monster.

Wu Xiang boarded his ship and walked outwards. Countless ships around him were walking outwards, fleeing from the island where the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

The breeze blew, bringing some heat, fighting and shouting. Wu Xiang looked back and saw thick smoke on the island, which began to slowly turn into a bonfire.

The fire has already started, and other parts of Pengli Lake will slowly flash fire.

For the first time, he felt that the sense of accomplishment after manipulating people's hearts and sowing discord was so pleasant.
