Chapter 52: Some people are happy while others are sad (Happy Christmas Eve!)

A quiet room in Zilanxuan

Zi Nu looked at the increasingly dense night, took out a new incense burner and lit it. The smoke was thick and floating in the air like a dragon with various forms, swinging but not dispersing.

Han Fei looked at his tired face and trembled suddenly. The fragrance entered his nose, refreshing, as if his body felt lighter. He looked at the position of the incense burner with a surprised look on his face, and couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Purple Girl,

It’s such a big gesture.”

Zhang Liang, who was always calm and composed, nodded in agreement with Han Fei's words.

With their identities, Han Fei and Zhang Liang are naturally not ignorant people who have never seen the world.

Although Han Fei always spends all his money, he is also a son of the royal family with 800 feudal households. Zhang Liang is the eldest grandson of the Zhang family, the father of the fifth generation of Han Dynasty. But it is because of their status and vision that they can recognize him.

How valuable is the incense that Zi Nu puts into the incense burner?

That is ambergris. Legend has it that this incense comes from the Dragon Ruins in the abyss of the South China Sea. The local natives, who are gifted with invulnerability to water and fire, spent many years of hard work to collect a cluster. The price is more than ten times more expensive than gold.

The most important thing is that no matter how much money you have, the output is only a little, and what you can buy will definitely be the top powerful people in the seven countries. Therefore, even Han Wangan, who loves ambergris, only has a few pieces of ambergris in his hand.

The only time he would use a piece of incense was at his birthday banquet.

Han Fei couldn't help but smack his tongue. Even though he had known her for a long time, Zi Nu could open his eyes every time and bring out some artifacts that seemed ordinary but actually had extraordinary origins.

Zi Nu didn't say anything, she just made a pot of tea and prepared some snacks to dispel the sleepiness of everyone.

They gathered here, waiting for news from Wei Zhuang.

It's not because he is worried about Wei Zhuang's safety. There are too few people and things in Xinzheng City that can threaten a first-class master. What's more, Wei Zhuang is the initiator of this attack. Even if he loses, he definitely has the ability to evacuate safely.

.

Not long after the ambergris was put into the furnace, Wei Zhuang entered the quiet room with a man who looked like a beggar from the back door of Zilanxuan.

The man was holding a crutch in his hand, and his stooped back seemed to be pressing on a huge stone. The stone made his crutch tremble under the weight.

He walked in slowly from the door, taking small steps.

The soles of his feet were covered with mud, and whimpering moans came from his throat from time to time. The past few days of imprisonment in the Scorpion Gate had made him weaker than before, and he became even less like a human being.

But Han Fei and others did not urge him, and no one helped him. They just watched quietly.

It's not disgusting, nor is it heartless.

However, they already know the identity of this "beggar", the former Korean Right Sima Li Kai.

A former general had his own pride and would not want anyone to support him at this time.

Li Kai just took one step at a time. It was only a dozen steps away from an ordinary person, but it took him a long time and was sweating profusely before he walked in front of everyone.



At this moment, in the General's Mansion, Ji Wuye once again threw several wine bottles in a rage.

Because the Poisonous Scorpion Sect was destroyed.

The Scorpion Sect incident is actually nothing compared to the incident in the suburbs of Xinzheng.

Xinzheng City is dotted with gangs of all sizes. In addition to Qijuetang and Poisonous Scorpion Sect, there are also many other forces such as Qingzhu Gang, Sancunmen and Guanshankou.

There are four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Xinzheng. The north city is the territory of the palace, royal family and top nobles, and the south city is the residence of those high-ranking officials. These gangs dare not get involved in these two areas.

Therefore, these gangs, large and small, are fighting for the East City and the West City.

Xicheng is the residence of poor people with little wealth, so their main focus is Dongcheng, which is the most prosperous and commercially developed area in Xinzheng City.

In the entire Dongcheng, except for Zilanxuan, all shops opened on this street and all vendors setting up stalls on the roadside must pay regular money to local gangs in exchange for shelter.

Qi Juetang was originally the leader among them.

This gang, which was established with former Korean soldiers as its core members, almost defeated other gangs in terms of force, but it was blocked by the Scorpion Gate.

This gang is as full of darkness and fear as its name. Their sect leader Poisonous Scorpion made his fortune by conducting dark transactions in the arena, so the men under the Poisonous Scorpion sect are all desperadoes.

The Poisonous Scorpion Gate arrests many people with high status, huge wealth, or knows some high-level secrets, and imprisons them in the gloomy Poisonous Scorpion Gate dungeon, waiting for buyers who have grudges against these people to come to the door, at a price that both parties are satisfied with.

Sell ​​these people to make huge profits.

But in this kind of business, although there are huge profits to be made, it is also easy to make enemies.

Although people in the world have enemies, they also have relatives and friends, so they need a stable and strong backer.

Therefore, a few years ago, the leader of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect, Poisonous Scorpion, found Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye was at the height of his popularity at that time, and although he looked down on these guys from the bottom of his heart, the monthly tribute money from the Poisonous Scorpion Sect was indeed a considerable amount of wealth.

In addition, Ye Mo also needs a gang to handle some chores for them. After all, he can't let the sharp sword "Hundred Birds" handle some trivial matters.

So he accepted this poisonous scorpion sect which was insignificant in his eyes.

But it's one thing for Ji Wuye to look down on the little Poisonous Scorpion Sect, and it's another thing for the Poisonous Scorpion Sect to be destroyed.

Who in Xinzheng City doesn't know that he is the backer of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect, and destroying the Poisonous Scorpion Sect is equivalent to a slap in the face.

However, despite being furious, Ji Wuye still endured it.

As Bai Yifei said, this country has been comfortable for too long, so many people have forgotten why they needed night in the first place and the chaos they faced in the first place...

And the beast they unleashed will teach those untouchables what fear is.

ps: Although it’s a little late, I still wish everyone a happy Christmas Eve.

However, this Christmas Eve is definitely not a peaceful one for me, after all, my parents are still in the hospital bed.

In fact, many friends advised me to take a day off today. It would not have any impact if I stopped updating new books for a day. I also believe that all my considerate book friends will understand me.

I slept for almost the whole day. Except for being awake when cooking three meals, I spent the rest of the time sleeping and resting. I didn't even eat, and I was seizing every minute and every second.

But...it changed after all.

I feel like I should still be able to hold on, and after resting for a whole day, my mental and physical conditions are indeed a little better, and I should be in a state where I can code.
