Only when you are strong enough can you get enough respect!
This is how the world is, and this principle is even more common in the world of high martial arts.
Yu Wenhuaji was severely scolded by Yang Guang, but Yuwen Chengdu was defeated in the competition with the Queen of Yin.
Yang Guang naturally wanted to take the opportunity to vent his anger, but Yu Wenhuaji could only endure it.
After leaving the palace, Yu Wenhuaji, who had suppressed his anger, heard that the Goguryeo Rakshasa girl appeared in the Jiangdu area, and immediately flew into a rage and sent people everywhere to arrest her.
This time, Fu Junzhuo was dealt a serious blow.
Every day, I am like a rat crossing the street, hiding in a dark corner and secretly licking my wounds, holding my breath but there is nothing I can do.
Jiangdu is not as good as other places, and there are many experts here.
Although it is not as dense as the Wagang Army in the hinterland of the Central Plains, she is not at this time and can do whatever she wants.
Fu Junzhuo has not received any special education. Whether it is his accent or his body shape and temperament, his identity can easily be revealed.
Several times, he was almost blocked by the guards around Yang Guang.
Under such circumstances, she had no way to gain a foothold in Jiangdu City, so she had to quietly withdraw from Jiangdu City and hide in the countryside outside the city.
All I can say is that she is lucky.
Although Wu Dong's tentacles had spread over, they did not want to overly irritate Yang Guang and the dignitaries in Jiangdu City, so they did not make great efforts to infiltrate.
In addition, Jiangdu is prosperous and the surrounding villages are also quite wealthy. If you want to become a rich man, it is not easy to do the farm work.
In this way, Fu Junzhuo was safely lurking in a dilapidated manor outside Jiangdu City.
In the dilapidated manor, two teenagers lived.
That's right, it's these two guys Ssangyong.
I have to say that fate is a very wonderful thing.
On this day, the two people, with bruises and swollen faces, returned to their residence in frustration and helped each other massage the injured areas, making hissing sounds of pain from time to time.
"Master Ling, I really can't live this life anymore. Boss Yan's demands are getting higher and higher. How can we possibly complete it? Sooner or later we will be beaten to death!"
Ahem, it should be Wu Dong's butterfly effect. When Yang Guang left Dongdu, he took tens of thousands more personal guards with him than in the official history and the original history of Datang Shuanglong.
There is no doubt that they are all survivors of the Yanmen County battle and Yang Guang's die-hard personal guards.
Suddenly tens of thousands more personal guards followed. Even though Jiangdu's granary had a large reserve and there was enough money and supplies for consumption, harassment to the local area was still unavoidable.
The Guards officers basically showed off their power in the city and near the city wall.
The local gangsters who were oppressed naturally could only extend their claws to the disadvantaged groups at the lower level, and at the same time they did not forget to pin the shit basin on Yang Guang.
Who calls Yang Guang a "tyrant"? It is recognized by the world.
As a local snake in Jiangdu, the Zhuhua Gang was naturally affected.
The code was pressed down layer by layer, and finally it came to low-level pickpockets like Shuangyong. The requirements and workload were not ordinary and were beyond their capabilities.
"Then what should we do? How about we escape, Mr. Zhong?"
"Escape? Where can we two little beggars escape to?"
"How to say?"
"There's a lot of chaos out there. If you're not careful, you might get dragged into a young man, and you don't know how he died in the end. It's better to hang out in Jiangdu and at least survive!"
"Master Zhong, haven't you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"Recently, a group of forces came from outside the city, specifically targeting the villages. I heard that they need a lot of manpower. If you go there, you can get work and eat half full!"
"Why haven't I heard about such a good thing?"
"You are only focused on finding fat sheep. How can you care about other things? I can hear you clearly!"
"If there is such a good thing, it can't be the means of those guys from the Baling Gang!"
"How is it possible? The Baling Gang took the path of the brothel. How can it have any connection with the countryside?"
"That's right. Those guys can make a lot of money by relying on those few industries. It's impossible for them to go to the countryside and mess around!"
"Then shall we go and have a look?"
"Go, of course we have to go. If something good like that happens, let's just leave the Zhuhua Gang. We won't be able to survive in the city anymore anyway!"
"Hey, I don't know when this day will end?"
"At least we have to wait until Yang Guang, this foolish king, dies. All the rebels in the world are a little afraid of this foolish king!"
"How is it possible? With Yang Guang acting like that, how is it possible that the rebels would be jealous of him? It's simply impossible!"
"You don't know this, right? There is Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the story of the Three Kingdoms. Yang Guang's situation is much better than that of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Even so, isn't Cao Aman very afraid of him?"
"You are saying that Yang Guang is still the nominal emperor of the Sui Dynasty. If he is here, the Sui officials in some areas will still give him some face?"
"This is exactly what the storyteller said very clearly. In fact, with Yang Guang's strength at this time, not to mention revitalizing the world, it is not a problem to occupy at least half of the country!"
"It's a pity that Yang Guang is incompetent. The three conquests of Goguryeo and Yanmen County have taken away the last bit of his energy. Otherwise, with the strength of 200,000 personal guards under him, he would still be the most powerful in the world.
military force!"
"If nothing else, as long as Yang Guang is willing, how can the entire southern region be dominated by the Yuwen family?"
"Hehe, you imitate the tone of Mr. Storyteller, but it doesn't sound like it!"
"..."
The two teenagers talked and laughed, and soon fell asleep.
They didn't notice at all that an exotic beauty was sitting cross-legged quietly on the beam of the room, the expression on her face changing and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The cold and murderous eyes swept over the two sleeping youths, but in the end they did not kill them.
It's not that she is soft-hearted, but she doesn't want to alert others.
Because of his appearance and temperament, once Fu Junzhuo shows up, he can easily attract the attention of interested people and fall into trouble and passive situation.
These days, she has been recuperating in this abandoned manor, and the news outside can only be judged through the exchanges between the two teenagers.
It has to be said that snakes follow the same path as rats. Even though Shuanglong was at the bottom of Jiangdu society at this time, relying on the local snakes of the Zhuhua Gang, he knew a lot of information.
At least, Ssangyong only shared some information for fun, but Fu Junzhuo was able to hear some important information and avoid certain traps and dangers.
It was also because of this that she did not directly kill Shuanglong, but there was still some gain in eavesdropping on their chat.
Otherwise, for the sake of confidentiality and own safety, he would have killed someone ruthlessly.
In these troubled times, who would particularly care if two unknown little beggars died in an abandoned manor outside the city.
However, without the news brought by Shuangyong, she would have no choice but to go out and inquire about the situation herself, which would be a bit dangerous.
The sleeping Shuanglong didn't know that they had just walked through the gate of hell.
The next day, they woke up from hunger and did not go into the city after getting up because they couldn't get anything to eat anyway.
Originally, they could still get a few buns from Lao Feng's bun shop to satisfy their hunger.
Unfortunately, as the environment in Jiangdu City deteriorated, Lao Feng's bun shop suffered a lot of exploitation.
Sister-in-law Zhen, an acquaintance of Shuanglong's, would not dare to give out buns randomly at this time, as she might be killed.
Shuangyong still has some conscience and knows that he cannot cheat Sister Zhen at this time, otherwise it will be impossible to find a way to save his life in the future.
After finding some stream water to clean up, the two of them walked almost ten miles of country roads with uneasy hearts. They were very hungry before arriving at their destination.
Here is a rather ordinary existence outside Jiangdu City.
What is unusual is that the villagers did not go out to work in the morning, but gathered in the huge drying field and did not know what to do.
The arrival of Ssangyong did not arouse anyone else's thoughts.
There are many young people like them with shabby clothes and sallow complexion.
Obviously, not only Shuangyong heard the news, but almost all the other teenagers also wanted to come and work to fill their stomachs.
This made Shuanglong, who was a little dizzy from hunger, full of vigilance, and suddenly became energetic and ready for a 'battle'.
Fortunately, there are quite a lot of manpower needed here.
When the person in charge comes forward, anyone who is willing to contribute will basically have a job.
Although the salary is not high, it is rare to manage two meals a day.
Ssangyong was Ssangyong. While working with tools, he couldn't help but observe carefully. They really noticed something unusual.
"Master Ling, did you notice that the person in charge just now seems not to be from Jiangdu!"
"Indeed, his accent is a bit like that of Jiangbei, but what does this have to do with us?"
"Aren't you curious as to why Jiangbei's forces suddenly came to Jiangdu?"
"Didn't I hear what the person in charge said? They bought land in a nearby village and need a lot of manpower to help with the work!"
"We are digging canals, okay? Aren't you curious about how much land needs canals to irrigate?"
"What's the use of being curious? Is it possible that I can have one more meal?"
"What I mean is that the other party is new here, and they definitely need people who are familiar with Jiangdu's situation. How about we recommend ourselves?"
"After all, we are all doing short-term labor. I don't know if there will be a future after the ditch is dug!"
"If you can become your own person, at least filling your stomach won't be a problem, right?"
"Young Master Zhong, what you said is really good, so what should we do?"
"Let's figure out the situation first, and then find a way to prescribe the right medicine. We are quite familiar with Jiangdu City, which can be regarded as a big advantage!"
"Then let's do it!"
Shuangyong was not afraid at all. After making up his mind, he tried his best to find out the details of the new forces while working.
Not to mention, the two of them are not very old. Due to malnutrition, their height and weight are lower than those of their peers. They still look like young teenagers who have not grown up, so naturally they will not attract too much attention.
From the conversation between the supervisors, I heard some clues that they really need people who are familiar with the situation in Jiangdu...
