At night in Fuzhou, one end of Yinqiao Square becomes lively, while the other end gradually dims.
Yinqiao Fangfang City occupies a fairly small area. It is connected to waterways on both sides, and the waterways are connected to the water gate on the east side. This was originally one of the main fish markets in Fuzhou City. When the imperial court developed this area two years ago, it was seen that
Jinqiaofang has a good industry, so we cut a section of Yinqiaofang to serve as a supporting night market, and then built a section of the cheap land on the other side of the river to make up for the fish market.
However, over time, the night market developed well, but the newly designated fish market on the other side of the river never developed. The fishmongers still gathered in the back section of Yinqiaofang, cutting off the retail business and focusing on wholesale. After that, the fish market in Yinqiaofang
Land prices doubled, and although the fish market in the second half was more crowded and messy, the landlords earned more, and the fishmongers' business also benefited from being more precise. In the end, except for some retail fishmongers, they found other places to set up stalls.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
The wholesale fish market does not have much night business. After the sun sets, some old and dim lanterns fall among the messy and smelly shops. Looking at the light of the night market not far away, it is like two completely different worlds.
In order to isolate the stench, there are some shops that wholesale dried fish products near the night market, and there are also some low-end restaurants opened for fish market workers. At night, many shops are closed.
The Fang City system was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty. During the Wu Dynasty, as there were very few curfews, the streets named after Fang were not as oppressive as in the past. After Yinqiao Fang was divided into two sections, the middle end was
There are bridges to connect.
Around Xu time, Pu Xingui and Qian Dingzhong came here through the bridge on one side. The two of them looked at the surrounding situation and then walked towards a dimly lit fish shop. Sitting at the door of the shop was a Miao
I glanced at him and saw a somewhat angry middle-aged man on his face.
"The Fish King is so polite, how are you doing now?"
The other party is a local snake in the fish market. In the past, when Yinqiaofang was full of fish stalls, he had many clerks and was considered a local tyrant. Later, when the imperial court developed Yinqiaofang, this kind of low-end market tyrant with rough methods was somewhat uncomfortable.
It met the external needs of the night market. There were several frictions in the process, and then he was seriously beaten twice by the government. Only then did he consider himself unlucky and gave up the site in the front section of Yinqiaofang.
This also resulted in a great deal of resentment.
Now seeing Pu and Qian arriving, the other party looked at them twice and his face softened a little.
"Why is there such a big fuss?"
Pu Xingui thought to himself that I didn't know anything, but he said, "Aren't you just trying to vent your anger on Brother Fish King?"
In the city, it had only been an hour since the death of the chief catcher Song Xiaoming, and some places were in chaos. With his status as the fish king, he must have heard about what happened. He was beaten by the government before, and Song Xiaoming was the one who dealt with it.
This kind of head-hunting figure, now that the imperial court has eaten such a big turtle, he can really be said to be angry and raise his eyebrows.
There was not much expression on his face, and he said: "What happens next will be terrible."
"It's expected."
"...Pandongzi, come here, do you have any instructions?"
"I don't dare, I just happen to have something happening, and I want to use the Fish King's eyes to take a look."
"Pandongzi can go to the building opposite..."
The other party said and handed over a key.
This Fish King is originally a local snake. Even though his power has been defeated, his control over the fish market is not as reliable as before. However, several wooden buildings in the middle of the market are under his control. Several of them are smaller than those around them.
The terrain is higher, and it is close to bridges and waterways. In the past, the situation of the fish market was complicated. It has always been the best place for green forest gangsters to avoid pursuit or to observe the surrounding situation. Now of course, ordinary green forest people in the city do not dare to go against the government.
, but for rebels like Pu Xingui, it can be regarded as a treasure land.
He took the key and was about to cross the street when three figures appeared in the dim light at the other end of his field of vision. After giving him the key, the Fish King who was about to go back to the shop turned around. Pu Xingui looked at the three figures opposite him.
, they were all stunned immediately.
Coming around the corner from the stone bridge on the side, I saw one of the figures looking for the Fish King, it was Heipi.
Something is wrong...
The person on the other side had already raised his hand and smiled: "Hello, brother...why...are you here..." There was obvious alertness and vigilance in his eyes.
It happened so coincidentally that Pu Xingui was suspicious for the first time, but when he saw the look in the other person's eyes, he felt somewhat proud for some reason. He hesitated for a moment and then smiled: "Guess?"
"I guess you're a damn bitch..."
"..."
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Chen Shuangran went to the Fish King and whispered a few words: "What I said before..."
"It was already planned..."
"About soon..."
After that, they walked towards Pu Xingui, and they actually wanted to use the fish king's territory to look out. Pu Xingui and Qian Dingzhong looked at each other. At this time, the night was rolling, and the light was flowing in the distance, but there were only some people working the night shift in the fish market nearby.
When the voice of the waiter came, Pu Xingui even suspected that Heipi wanted to kill him, but after thinking about it for a moment, he finally felt that it was unlikely. He opened the door of the shop, and the five of them walked towards the dull and messy shop.
Walk in.
"That Ni Po of yours has just done something big. Can he escape?"
"It's been...an hour. I went to the brothel to take a bath and drank some wine...my brother is much more worried."
"Men always have to think more when doing things."
"A manly man...mother-in-law and mother-in-law will be beaten on the boat."
Chen Shuangran smiled, reached out and brushed the side of Pu Xingui's arm, and his fingers seemed to slide on it. Pu Xingui turned his head and looked at her: "My sister is a woman who is not inferior to men."
At this moment, Pu Xingui does not intend to compete with the other party for verbal prowess. As the person who has taken the initiative in Fuzhou City this time, Chen Shuangran has an unexpected background behind him, and his actions so far have indeed seemed clever. Such
He is more arrogant and has nothing to say on the road. But he, Cao Jinlong and others have already made up their minds:
With several masters as the core, she used the many green forest heroes who came to Fuzhou this time as smoke screens. In the end, everyone might become abandoned by her actions. Before that, she would use the Pu family as a
, using the reputation of Alliance Leader Cao to win over these Green Forest people and find a way out, even if Chen Shuangran does something great, she will already hate all the heroes in the Green Forest. As long as she is in this chaos
Those who are not dead will naturally take over their own side. This is just a conspiracy to push the boat along with the current and use flowers to offer Buddha. Xiao Heipi, who is ruthless and has no regard for people's lives, will not understand.
Not to mention that her actions in the past two days seemed to be a good round of attacks with the little emperor's strategy of provoking divisions. However, she did not discuss it with her uncle in the city before taking action. Pu Xingui knew that there was something wrong.
Several people expressed their dissatisfaction with it yesterday. As expected, as long as your competitors are stubborn and arrogant, you can gain something even if you do nothing.
The two parties stepped onto the second floor of the house. After Pu Xingui said his polite words, he decided not to be defensive anymore. At this time, he saw Chen Shuangran beside him, picking up a telescope in the room and speaking.
:
"...A few days ago, Han Yuan met two young knights with good martial arts skills in Jian'ou. They said they wanted to come to Fuzhou to make a living, and they formed a good relationship. Recently, they said they were hanging out at Yinqiaofang Night Market.
, no... I happened to pass by today, so I came to test his quality... "
"..."
In the midsummer, the wooden building next to the fish market felt extremely stuffy inside. But at this moment, Pu Xingui frowned, and the temperature in the entire room seemed to have dropped several degrees. He was being chased by the court and was running outside.
Having been a rebel for a year, I naturally understand that such a coincidence is definitely not a good thing. It is most likely a deliberate malice, but how is it possible...
On the side, Chen Shuangran wiped the dust on the old telescope, leaned against one eye, and then put it down again: "By the way...brother came over, why...are you really unwilling to tell me?
"
"..."
Far away in the city, a fight and riot has begun...
…
At Xu Shi, Ning Ji and Qu Longjun were talking about the bandit named Ni Po.
"...Speaking of which, I met this guy once when I first arrived in Jiangning..."
"Um?"
"...His martial arts skills are actually pretty good. I remember when I first arrived outside Jiangning, he had a one-on-one challenge with a lunatic from Xu Zhaonan who was playing magic... This man had a solid boxing practice and his basic skills were very good.
Okay, the bottom set... I have also practiced well, I think it is quite satisfactory, but with the addition of fists, I can really stand shoulder to shoulder with ordinary masters... and the potential has not yet reached the bottom..."
"Then... how about comparing with you?"
"Follow me, haha, then...how to put it...this is so fucking outrageous..."
"...Huh?" Qu Longjun was stunned for a moment, unable to understand.
Among the pedestrians beside the main entrance of Yinqiaofang, a muscular man was waving away his redundant cloak in summer and striding towards the city.
Ning Ji felt a little confused for a moment. After killing the chief criminal officer, he still dared to walk like this on the street? Are the police officers in Fuzhou so useless?
At the same moment, the young officer who was pushed out by the Street Department to maintain order came forward with a water and fire stick: "Hey, what are you..."
The smell of blood filled the air, and the fierce man who strode forward waved his left arm. With a bang, the man flew out with his stick and rolled on the ground. Ning Ji's face instantly wrinkled. To be fair, although the other man
He had looked at himself suspiciously several times while walking around before, but his overall impression of this person was still favorable, because this person was not an old man in the yamen, although he only had a job in the Street Department.
, but based on his daily observations, he has listened to some of the public propaganda of "respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians" in Fujian, so he has a little subjective initiative in his daily work.
Although it was only a little bit, Ning Ji also felt that the thing exuding from this person was somewhat similar to the feeling given by Chengdu in the southwest.
Of course, there is nothing to say about the villain's murder. Ning Ji looked around. Speaking of it, more than an hour had passed since this man assassinated the chief arrester, and now he suddenly appeared again. According to common sense, it should be
I was accidentally discovered by some police officer and chose the direction of Silver Bridge Square to escape. Then a large force from the Criminal Department should appear at any time, and then chase the opponent to the end of the square. I have a good impression of the little emperor, but now I have to consider breaking in.
When the enemy is inside, there is no need to push forward, just stay aside with Qu Longjun.
There is no problem with this speculation. However, as the figure got closer and closer, and even punched each other with both fists while striding forward, and the blood surged up, in Ning Ji's eyes,
Gradually, a sense of confusion and absurdity emerged, such as "I don't understand", or even "What have I done that is so unreasonable?"
The other party's eyes were mainly locked on Qu Longjun, and he did not pay too much attention to the gradually deformed expression on the face of the puppy next to him. The steps under his feet seemed ordinary, but in fact they were mysterious. According to his master, they were fusion.
He understood the wonders of the legendary Taoist Yu stepping on the Gang and fighting with each step, stimulating his energy and blood with every step, reaching the peak. He learned Tao through fighting, and at this glorious moment, he was about to strike a powerful blow.
At the seventh step, he had already reached in front of the opponent and reached out to grab the fair-faced handsome young man.
He said: "Hey——"
Above the streets, the sound spread like thunder.
In front of him, the handsome young man clasped one hand behind his back, with a contemptuous smile on his face, and even slightly moved toward him.
This was an unexpected moment. Ni Po's grasp could break the bluestone. If it turned into a fist, it would be even more powerful. There was also a moment of surprise in his eyes. Among the spreading words of "Hello", there was a sentence: "I
wipe……"
No one knew that Ning Ji was breaking out in cold sweat at this moment.
The fierce wind of fists roared towards Ni Po. Ni Po lowered his arms and made a block. After the figure's hard fight, his fists suddenly turned into grasps, and he grabbed Ni Po's elbows and feet.
Ni Po's kick hit Ni Po's thigh like a cannonball. Ni Po received a hard kick, and his other arm slammed down with an iron arm. His arm was not only a hard-forged arm, but also strong enough to open hard.
The fine iron rod of the steel knife struck with this blow, and the stone slab was about to be smashed. However, what was unexpected was that the opponent raised his arm and took the blow with a slight loss. Then he rushed forward and stabbed his foot violently.
Use a step kick to attack his lower body.
Ni Po retreated at high speed, but the opponent grabbed his clothes or arms and rushed away like a maggot on his tarsus.
Soon after, the two figures rushed diagonally towards the side of Ni Po's direction at the next moment of contact. The huge inertia and rapid fighting made the two figures stagger as if they were drunk.
, spinning, crossing a distance of several feet in the blink of an eye, and then pulled each other and violently knocked open a stall on the roadside. Debris and vegetable leaves flew up all over the sky, and the soft tent that was propped up collapsed with a rumble.
Ni Po crashed and flew further, rolled over and climbed up by the door of a shop, with shock and surprise in his eyes: "Hahahaha, okay, okay - what method did you use just now, and it was able to defeat me, Yu?"
Bu Shenwei——"
"Your mother and I -" Ning Ji stood up among a pile of debris, holding a vegetable leaf on his head. He was naturally shorter than the other person, but his figure at this moment was not that big.
It was so thin that the blood on both hands and arms was boiling. In the night, the outline looked as if it had grown bigger. At this time, he cursed out in great anger and fear, and waved his arms violently, leaving the intact figure beside him.
A thick wooden table was so split that it exploded.
There are various methods of accumulating energy and bursting out in the arena. Although he has never been involved in the opponent's foot and step fighting, he can still see the secrets. At that moment, Qu Longjun was still a "master" according to the training he had repeatedly done before.
"Pretending to be a method" was doing something. God knows that at that moment, he almost broke out with all his strength to stop this guy.
The most important thing is that he has no idea why the other party came to kill you: Labor and management have provoked you——
Ni Po didn't care about his insults, he just stretched out his arms: "Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet such a master today, okay - I am Jizhou's 'Iron Fist' Ni Po! I want you to help me achieve perfection -
"
"I am your long-lost father! I will beat you into a ball today - and then stuff you back -"
In an instant, Ni Po rushed over, and Ning Ji went to meet him.
…
On the second floor in the middle of Yinqiao Square, the moment he saw Ni Po coming out, Pu Xingui was still surprised by Chen Shuangran's madness.
"Ni Po...Chen Shuangran, are you out of your mind? He just killed Song Xiaoming. Do you think the police can't find him?"
"How could you and I, the Rats, know about Master Ni's ambition..."
"what? What……"
"He just killed the chief police officer, and not long after, he appeared in front of others and killed two people. Talking about it in the future...it will become a legend..."
However, after a while, the people upstairs became slightly silent.
This is far from the entrance to the night market at the other end of Yinqiao Square. Although I can see more clearly with the two worn-out telescopes in the room, I can still see the general situation clearly even with my eyesight.
Not to mention that Ni Po shouted with all his strength and the sound was huge.
In the darkness of the night, I saw the two figures fighting together. Both sides were punching fiercely. At this moment, they almost all struck without reservation. The fight was really powerful. Even ordinary people who did not understand martial arts, among those
The rapid and ferocious fists and kicks showed how powerful the two men were in martial arts.
Not far away at night, the sound of commotion seemed to have started, and police officers were rushing towards this direction.
After a while, the street company man on the ground also struggled a few times in the pool of blood, took out the bamboo flute he carried with him, and started playing hard.
"Who showed up to show his holiness...to deal with these two people?"
Pu Xingui asked Chen Shuangran.
In front of the small cart-turned-grocery stall in the distance, the older warrior "Long Aotian" was even sorting out the items on the cart at this moment, without paying any attention to the battle going on at the side.
"...If they both come together, will you, Ni Po, still be there?"
Chen Shuangran frowned: "This... is indeed something I never thought of... Ni Po's skill..."
"This young man's martial arts is very strong, and... he should have a family background..." Beside the window, the middle-aged man who followed Chen Shuangran spoke up.
Chen Shuangran seemed to respect him quite a bit and said at this time: "Sir, can you tell where the route is?"
"I can't tell... After Jingping, Northern Boxing spread to the South, and various factions blended together. This man's airs are serious and steady, and his internal strength is especially Hunhong at his age... Maybe there are only a few martial arts families, or maybe
He is the supreme master who can teach such disciples."
"What about?"
"For example, Lin Zongwu..."
While they were talking upstairs, across the field of vision, Ni Po had already jumped away towards the crowd on the side. He knew that it would be difficult to achieve victory today, so he clasped his hands and smiled heroically.
"Okay, it's true as people say, Long Shaoxia and Sun Shaoxia are very skilled in martial arts. Ni Mou has seen it... Today is not a lucky day. If we are destined to meet again in the future, I will come back to learn from you!"
His words were grand and grand, and they turned out to be a way for each other to become famous in the green forest. At the other end of the field of vision, the young man did not seem to be chasing after him, and he saw Ni Po running over several times and diving into the darkness along the alleys.
There was a fierce fight with no outcome, but in a sense, it was actually the best result. At this moment, Pu Xingui also roughly understood the opponent's plan.
"...I wonder why you are looking for the fish king boss? It turns out that you are looking for this escape route."
At the window over there, Chen Shuangran stared at the light in the distance, thoughtfully, and casually replied: "So what?"
"It's a pity that you, Ni Po, can't make a name for yourself today. If you leave here, you might kill the Fish King again - don't you, the yamen official, know who owns this place?"
"...The Fish King is sensible." Chen Shuangran smiled, "Also, today's harvest...is so big, only you, brother, can't tell, right?"
"Humph, then consider this your harvest..." Pu Xingui sneered twice.
At the entrance of Yinqiao Fang in the distance, several police officers were rushing over one after another. The two were quarreling with each other when the middle-aged "gentleman" standing by the window suddenly frowned and reached out to take it from Chen Shuangran.
Lookout tube: "That's not quite right..." He looked at the entrance of the square several times.
"……What's wrong?"
"The boy is gone."
Several people in the room hesitated slightly, but the next moment, they all started to move.
"Where are the Fish King's people arranged..."
"I haven't seen it myself, but it's usually the waterway to the north."
"Look in the dark."
"Where is Ni Po..."
"I can't see it."
"...this way!"
Everyone pushed open the surrounding windows one after another and looked carefully into the surrounding darkness. After a while, Qian Dingzhong indeed first discovered the dark place on the fork of the river not far away. He had to look very carefully to see the shore.
A flag with a strange pattern hung on a awning boat nearby, probably several yards away from everyone.
Chen Shuangran picked up the telescope and looked around. After a moment, he saw Ni Po running in the darkness. He was walking along the path by the river towards the scheduled awning boat. He was blocked by the wall of the courtyard.
It blocked the view of the road over there, so occasionally only half of his head could be seen.
The figure was about to arrive. At the same moment, the middle-aged "gentleman" standing by the window whispered: "So fast..." The other people looked to the other side. At a certain moment, a figure suddenly passed by.
Street intersection.
Ni Po on the other side of the wall suddenly stopped. A figure came out of the awning boat, and then suddenly shrank back. Judging from the situation, he was probably shouted at by the visitor who was hidden behind the courtyard wall and could no longer be seen by everyone.
Went back.
Even if no one is visible, everyone can guess that the two sides are confronting...
…
Behind the courtyard wall, on the road where many wooden boxes and debris were piled up by the river, Ni Po saw the young man running in front of him. He was also striding towards him. It looked like the moment he entered Yinqiaofang.
.
The boatman from the awning boat emerged, and was pointed out by the young man who came over: "Go back." This was one of the minions of the Fish King. He didn't know what was going on for a while, so he was frightened and went back.
Ni Po smiled and said: "Today we are just going to draw, you really think that Ni has no trump card anymore."
"Hey, it's a tie..."
The young man's figure was in front of him, and his punch speed was still similar to before, which was the type that Ni Po could catch. Ni Po sighed in his heart, he knew that he had been a little carried away today, and seemed to have offended this young man with strong martial arts skills.
There was no other way but to fight it out - in fact, after Chen Shuangran conquered the brothers, he wanted to have more discussions with them.
After receiving two punches, and then the third punch, the arm on the side suddenly felt pain, and the strength was lost in an instant, and then the sharp edge was drawn across his face, then his lower abdomen, thighs, shoulders...
The ordinary fist moves were still the same as those in street fights, but Ni Po knew something was wrong. Using a knife to punch was not unusual in a fight. He was known as the "Iron Fist" and could do it in actual fights.
Use your fists or the iron weapons on your body to fight with the enemy's weapons. But the opponent's fists and swords came out silently and without any warning. He received a knife on the third punch. This was not even considered to be the opponent's attack on the two of them.
It was a sneak attack in full swing, but the murderous aura and skillful techniques were so perfectly integrated that Ni Po didn't even feel anything.
With the fourth punch, he was already trying to block and counterattack with iron weapons, but with each punch, the opponent was a little faster than him. Ni Po held his vitals with both hands and tried to retreat with all his strength. In the night, only blood rain could be seen.
Flying forward, the shadow of the fist and the sword were like splashes of ink all over the sky. They were thrown away in just a moment, and covered most of Ni Po's body with a puff. He retreated to the wall and lost strength. Then
He tried to rush forward and jumped into the river, but the sharp weapons in his fists exploded continuously behind him. He knocked over several wooden boxes on the side, and was grabbed by the opponent's hands and pulled back...
…
In the darkness of the night, one could feel Ni Po fighting with his opponent over there, but then, the half of his head that popped up behind the courtyard wall shook and disappeared. Only a few black blood lines were drawn in the air. The boy's
The figure was behind the wall and swallowed Ni Po.
Considering the intensity of the previous fight between the two sides on the street, this scene in the darkness was so strange when it happened that Pu Xingui and Chen Shuangran could not understand what was going on. Then they saw Ni Po trying to fly out and knocking over the box.
At this moment, the field of vision that everyone could see was finally a little wider. The moment Ni Po flew into the air, the boy's fists fell continuously behind the opponent. They didn't know what kind of weapons they were, but Ni Po was obviously gone.
With such strength, he smashed the box and fell to the ground, and then the young man reached out and pulled him back into the darkness beside the wall.
The boatman in the awning boat on the river stood out with a knife. Before he could raise his chest, something hit him like a cannonball, causing his body to fall back into the shed, and the boat rippled with a roar.
In the darkness, several people stood at the window in silence for a moment, and then saw the young man standing out in the field of vision. He shook his head and said something, dragged Ni Po's body that had no resistance, and then threw him into the awning.
He jumped out of the boat again and seemed to be wrapping the two people in the boat with oilcloth.
"Ni Po...is he still alive?" Pu Xingui asked in a daze.
Qian Dingzhong shook his head: "...I don't know."
"If we want to kill, can we also kill on the street?"
"...Maybe you don't want people to know?"
Across the field of vision, the young man jumped from the boat onto the shore again, with his hands on his hips, seeming to be thinking about something and looking around.
Most of the five people in the room can be regarded as senior Green Foresters who have experienced various strange situations. They have seen all kinds of fights, blood and conspiracies, but for some reason, in conjunction with the previous vigorous competition on the street, they saw the darkness again.
At this scene where Ni Po suddenly disappeared, everyone felt a chill running down their spines for a moment, as if they had seen a ghost committing murder in the human world.
"This man is the most brilliant killer..." Beside the window, the middle-aged "sir" spoke, "His fists and kicks are all just a cover-up."
At this point, several people in the room nodded. Suddenly, I saw him walking backwards and shouting in a low voice:
"—Back!"
As soon as the words came out, Qian Dingzhong was already moving behind the window. The third person who responded was the coachman who followed Chen Shuangran up. He and Pu Xingui pulled the window smoothly.
Among the five, only Chen Shuangran had the lowest martial arts skills. At the moment when the window was about to close, she saw not far away in the darkness, the young man standing by the river had raised his head towards here, his eyes deep.
Suddenly, it locked over here!
The murderous aura spread——
Chen Shuangran's eyes were horrified and he sat down backwards.
