The east side of the sky was soaked with cyan light, and the rain that lasted all night gradually became softer.
Inside the Wuhu Inn, there were subtle and cautious footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Sir...Sir...I'm really sorry for knocking on the door at this time...There is a waiter in our store. I wonder if you still remember..."
"..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I can't find him suddenly. I just came to ask you if you have seen him..."
"..."
"Well, sir, you also know that there is no peace in the city... In these years of war and chaos, we are also afraid..."
"..."
"Sorry to disturb you...you have a rest..."
There were knocks on the door and the conversation gradually continued. When we reached the end of the passage on the second floor, we hesitated a little.
"These are the two children over here... aren't they..."
"...Ask too."
A man in a green robe and a cap rang the door, while the middle-aged man dressed as the shopkeeper stepped aside. After a while, a bald man rubbed his eyes and opened the door.
"Ah...ah...Amitabha...what's going on?"
"I'm really sorry for knocking on the door at this time... It's a waiter in our store, a slightly shorter one. I wonder if you have any impression..."
"Ah..." The little monk stared sleepily for a while with his mouth open, and then nodded, "Ah, A Qing... it's the second brother named A Qing..."
"That's right, that's right, it's him. The city is in chaos and he can't be found suddenly since last night. We're a little worried and wanted to ask you if you've seen him..."
"Last night... I went out last night, I don't know..." The little monk rubbed his eyes and rubbed the bruised parts of his body, grinning in pain.
The young man in green clothes sniffed the smell in the air and looked into the room a few more times. The two sides made some simple inquiries before apologizing and leaving.
The innkeeper and Tsing Yi Xiaomao meet...
"It's weird..."
"how?"
"These two kids thought they had a fight last night. Look at the little monk, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen. The room is full of the smell of medicinal wine... Could it be that Ah Qing was attracted by them..." The little hat in green frowned.
The shopkeeper also thought for a while, then shook his head: "...I don't think so. If the nose and face were really bruised and swollen, there would be a big noise. If these two children really did Ah Qing, it should be a sneak attack, not three people fighting together. Besides,
Do you think, if it was really them who did it, how could they open the door with the smell of medicinal wine?"
"These two children are not simple either."
"How many people are living in the city at this time? Some of them have some backgrounds, and they sneak out at night, which is all trouble..." The shopkeeper thought for a while, "It is unlikely that A Qing will fall into their hands.
, now I am worried that he has fallen into the hands of his own people..."
"The few things he brought back yesterday...sigh..."
The two figures who were whispering gradually left. The little monk returned to the bed and continued to sleep soundly. On the other bed, a taller figure suddenly sat up. His consciousness was also a little confused: "Strange, I didn't see you last night.
Yes, why are you so anxious to knock on the door this morning?"
"Huh?" The little monk tilted his head.
"There's something fishy." The five-foot-y demon muttered, and after a while, he lay back down again.
At the moment, Jiangning City is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, and many people have little secrets of one kind or another. However, what does the matter at Wuhu Inn have to do with myself and the little bald head? After thinking about it like this, I fell asleep soundly.
The cold drizzle outside is still falling, and the conditions in some areas of the city are changing bit by bit.
In Zhong'anfang, the east end of the city, a motorcade drove up in the early morning rain and entered the core courtyard of the "Juxian Pavilion". The one who got off the car and entered the main courtyard lobby was the current "Ping Ping Wang"
Baofeng. This person in power who dominates most of the Fair Party's business affairs is tall and has a gentle yet majestic appearance. From a distance, he looks more like a Confucian scholar than a businessman. Many people say that he
It is somewhat similar to the style of Mr. Ning in the southwest. Many of the actions of the Fair Party, including the construction of the "Juxian Pavilion" in Zhong'an Fang, are similar to the "Yingbin Road" in the southwest.
It reveals such traces.
It has been several days since Shi Baofeng entered the city. As the leader of the King Ping Ping clan, Shi Baofeng has been patrolling the surrounding areas and secretly meeting some people in the past few days. What happened at the Golden Tower last night, he was the first to
I learned the news later in the morning, so I came to Zhonganfang only in the early morning, ready to meet Jin Yongsheng, who had personally experienced the incident last night.
While summoning Jin Yongsheng, Shi Baofeng inquired about the whereabouts of his second son. One of the stewards in Zhongan Square came forward to report. The second son had gathered his troops and went out half an hour ago.
He also took out the famous guest minister who could fight.
Shi Baofeng frowned: "What trouble is this traitor going to cause?"
"According to reports, it seems that someone has found the whereabouts of the two Yin demons."
"...What kind of demon?" Shi Baofeng was stunned.
"It's...the two people related to Miss Yan's family..."
"……snort."
In the past few days after entering the city, Shi Baofeng was quite dissatisfied with Shi Weiyang, the "rebellious son", and slapped the child in private. The specific reason was that Shi Weiyang drove away Yan Yunzhi because of his recklessness, which caused trouble with the Yan family.
Marriage of Fort.
The relationship between Shi Baofeng and Yan Taiwei from Yan Jiabao was only at the end of their life. Although in the past two years, Shi Baofeng took advantage of the Fairness Party and suddenly became one of the most powerful figures in the world, in the eyes of outsiders
Yan Jiabao's support is no longer necessary, but as a businessman, he deeply understands that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
In his opinion, a pig can fly into the sky when standing in the wind, but if it loses its caution and loses its solid foundation after flying into the sky, it is a symbol that the pig is not far from death. This truth, especially when the pig suddenly
Those who want to make a fortune must remember this.
On the second level, he believed that he and Ning Yi from the southwest had something in common. What is the most important thing for a businessman? The southwest side has already done it openly.
--contract.
If a businessman fails to abide by his contract in public, even if the other party seems weak and easy to bully, he will actually damage his most important foundation. Who can do business with such a businessman in the future?
Southwest has always adhered to this principle, and he is not ambiguous about it. This coincidence is also the point where he and the hero Southwest have similar views.
Under this logic, although the girl from the Yan family encountered some things in Tongshan and had some not-so-good rumors, what kind of bad thing can this be? Especially when the other party makes mistakes, I will
On the contrary, Bian can clarify and accept it with great fanfare. In this environment where all parties gather, he can truly show everyone the magnanimity and open-mindedness of the "Equal King". What an ideal opportunity this is for a rich man?
Don't say that what happened in Tongshan is nonsense. Even if Miss Yan really encountered something in Tongshan and she came all the way here, shouldn't what she should express here be tolerance and goodwill? Something like the Heroes Conference.
Things are the moment when you show your image in front of everyone, so what other details are important? If you are not happy after getting married, just go out and have fun.
Before arriving in Jiangning, he had already made full preparations: to express sympathy and condolences to the Yan family, to exaggerate the marriage to the greatest extent, and to send people to publicize it in private - although the girls of the Yan family already had
There are some flaws. Although Yanjiabao itself is not strong against the Fairness Party, Shi Baofeng will never go back on the agreement. Anyone who comes from a thousand miles away will be treated best by the Shi family.
As a result, the first thing I did after coming to Jiangning was to find that my son had scared him away because of the sperm in his head.
All the preparations were in vain. Yan Tiehe, the second eldest son of the Yan family, ran up to him and scolded him sternly. Shi Baofeng was so angry that he finally calmed down Yan Tiehe and gave him the gift that day.
Shi Weiyang slapped him in the face, and his title became "Guizi".
Coming over early in the morning, the traitor called his friends and ran out again. He was already planning on punching and kicking the child, but when he heard that it was about the two demons, he snorted coldly and calmed down a little.
Proper resolution of the Yan family's affairs depends on two directions. The main subject of the matter is naturally to find Miss Yan, complete the marriage, and bridge the overall situation of cooperation with Yan Jiabao. On the other hand, the other party comes
Here, after being stigmatized, of course I also have the responsibility to wash away the shame for the other party. Only in this way can things be done properly. If those two messy evil spirits can be captured, they will still be of some use.
"Hmph... This traitor, please don't cause any more trouble!"
After the anger subsided, he still had to curse. After he finished cursing, Jin Yongsheng also came over from outside the hall. Shi Baofeng, with a gentle face, called "Jin Lao" and greeted him.
Jin Yongsheng didn't look very good at this time. His martial arts skills were very strong, and he always used force to overwhelm others. His fighting style was fierce and expensive, but he didn't expect that he met a jumping little boy last night and took action.
Yin Du was also quick at escaping. He suppressed the opponent for several blocks with heavy tactics and almost beat him to death several times. In the end, the little monk had to dodge all the way in embarrassment. The beating was very tiring. For his age, it was even more difficult.
It’s considered a super high-load exercise.
And the most terrifying of the two enemies was not the little monk. The young man who was facing Li Yanfeng grabbed a long knife on the street and let go to fight for his life. Only in a few moments did Jin Yongsheng truly feel the reality.
murderous intent.
That was the most ferocious style of fighting on the battlefield. When the sword was deployed, it seemed as if it was directly exchanging one for one with Li Yanfeng, so much so that Li Yanfeng subconsciously retreated. Jin Yongsheng also withstood two such attacks while chasing.
, their martial arts skills were naturally higher than the other's, but when faced with those few moments of attack, they all subconsciously chose to save their lives - they were naturally unwilling to really die with a child. Later, in such a crazy fight, the other party
Finally, he caught the opportunity and ran away, leaving both Li Yanfeng and him in disgrace.
Li Yanfeng has a sinister character and is not a good person. From beginning to end, he never made it clear who these two people were, but based on some recent news, Jin Yongsheng also has some speculations about this matter.
He came back last night with soreness in his back, and after resting now, he cheered up to meet Shi Baofeng, and then said: "I am ashamed, I saw traces of Miss Yan near the Jinlou last night, but it was a pity that Li Yanfeng and the others were killed."
Several people disrupted the situation and ultimately failed to recover Miss Yan. I hope the proprietor will atone for his sins."
"Oh? Did you find Miss Yan?" Shi Baofeng dragged Jin Yongsheng to sit down, "Mr. Jin, tell me in detail what happened."
Jin Yongsheng told the second half of what happened in Jinlou last night: "For some reason, Miss Yan had strange connections with several young masters after she left for a few days. The person on the long street who first took action to cover her escape was a man
Da Infinity uses the Fanzi Quan, and one person uses the Five Steps and Thirteen Spears, obviously inheriting the mantle of Grandmaster Zhou... As for the last two people, one is a little monk of short stature, and the other is a young man with excellent sword skills.
There is a vague power of domineering swords, and I can only guess at the identities of these two people..."
"... In the green forest, most of these young heroes have family backgrounds. No matter where they are placed, these four young people have the skills of first-class masters... I can't imagine how Miss Yan can make friends with them one by one.
of……"
When Jin Yongsheng said this, his words were actually a bit complicated. After the Yan family came to Jiangning, he naturally investigated Yan Yunzhi's affairs because of the rumors circulating in the market. He knew from the beginning that this girl was innocent, but it was a coincidence.
He was framed by someone by mistake. Who would have known that just a few days after his escape, he would suddenly have contact with four young heroes, allowing the four to fight to the death for him under such circumstances.
This doesn't make sense. She turned against someone after being treated frivolously, and then immediately turned bad after escaping? Is this considered enlightenment or self-destruction?
Hearing the implication of Jin Yongsheng's words, Shi Baofeng frowned for a moment and said: "The Yan family is actually quite prestigious in the world. Maybe if you come here this time, other friends may take you in..." After a pause
After a pause, he added, "By the way, Mr. Jin thinks that the two young men behind may be the four-foot and five-foot...y demons?"
"I just think it's possible..."
Shi Baofeng said: "After Mr. Jin came back last night, did he talk to that traitor about this matter?"
Jin Yongsheng hesitated slightly: "Actually...when the old man fell asleep, the second young master was still outside..."
"..." Shi Baofeng pursed his lips, and after a moment, "Mr. Jin may not know that early this morning, someone came to report that they had found the whereabouts of the two Yin Demons, and the traitor gathered his troops to go out...
...it seems to be a coincidence.
Jin Yongsheng nodded: "...Although those two people escaped, they were injured a lot, which may have exposed their whereabouts. If the second young master can catch them, the matter will become clear... Well, maybe Miss Yan's whereabouts
We can also find out and bring them back together."
"That's best." Shi Baofeng waved his hand, "Let's leave it up to the traitor to deal with this matter. Mr. Jin, what do you think of the impact of this incident on Jinlou?"
"I was about to talk about this." Jin Yongsheng's face became serious, "My boss, Xu Zhaonan has a domineering temperament and is not a person who will suffer the consequences of being dumb. It seems that the incident in Jinlou this time was just the death of the envoy sent by Liu Guangshi.
But if Xu Zhaonan takes advantage of the topic, we have to be on guard against it. The old man didn’t make it clear about the news he first sent last night. Only then did he think carefully that we must prepare for things early..."
"Haha, Mr. Jin, please be patient. You and I have thought of getting together." Shi Baofeng laughed, "I know Lao Xu's character best. They are a bunch of gangsters who always make a big scene even if they have nothing to do.
This time he will definitely take advantage of the situation to go crazy, force people to stand in line, and gain some benefits. Fortunately, if he can force people, we can show our good will, and if he wants to scare people, we can protect people. So last night, you asked someone to pass on the news. I am here
Arrangements have been made, and people have informed various messengers in the city overnight that Xu Zhaonan is going to move them. As long as Xu Zhaonan takes action today, someone will definitely ask us for help..."
Jin Yongsheng was beaten so hard last night that his back was sore. When he came back, he only asked Shi Baofeng to send basic information about the Jinlou incident without giving any more warnings. Hearing that Shi Baofeng had already made arrangements, he was surprised and relieved.
He took a breath. He immediately expressed his admiration for the proprietor, and Shi Baofeng also expressed his humility. The two then discussed the next arrangements.
In fact, it has been a formula for all parties that the situation in Jiangning City will become more and more intense. At this stage, everyone is also consciously adding fuel to the middle and showing their own sanctity. After discussing these matters for a while, soldiers who reported the news suddenly came out from outside.
They rushed in in the rain to inform them of a certain incident, and there seemed to be some faint commotion on the street outside the courtyard.
Shi Baofeng and Jin Yongsheng stood up, frowning and went to the attic on the outside of the street. In the misty autumn rain, a large number of people were vaguely moving on the street in the distance, and some flags were unfurling.
"Fu Pingbo, this rotten snake, what else is he going to do?"
What was vaguely moving on the street were the men of Fu Pingbo, the "Dragon Sage" under "King of Justice" He Wen.
The five kings of the Fairness Party are now on equal terms, but on the surface, He Wen, as the leader, is still the most special and transcendent existence among them. And now the "Dragon Sage" Fu Pingbo in the city also has a name in name.
The highest authority for public security management. The other four kings in the city fought unscrupulously and used various methods that seemed ordinary. However, only the power belonging to He Wen always seemed to have the final say when used.
At the moment when the Jinlou accident occurred, Long Xian's people suddenly moved on a large scale, and no one could ignore the possibility behind this action.
Shi Baofeng and Jin Yongsheng watched for a while in the attic. Suddenly, a horn sounded at the southern end of the city. During this period, some people who went out to inquire for information came back.
"'Military Xian' Lin Jiaojiu led his cavalry into the city from the south. We are only five miles away from the city gate——"
Shi Baofeng frowned, then waved his hand: "Fuck you, Lin Jiaojiu, if you don't explain clearly I would have thought why Wen had arrived!"
Jin Yongsheng thought for a while: "Lin Jiaojiu suddenly entered the city at this time, maybe because he wanted to suppress the chaos caused by the Jinlou incident."
"Of course I know." Shi Baofeng replied calmly, "He was camped thirty miles outside the city yesterday and couldn't move. He suddenly rode over here so early in the morning. Of course he was here to help Fu Pingbo."
Gu Anhe of Jinlou was killed, and the next wave of chaos in the city was about to begin. Fu Pingbo probably couldn't control the situation, so He Wen came over urgently... These things are not surprising. After Shi Baofeng finished speaking, he turned around.
When he was about to leave, after taking a step, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned back, looking through the rain curtain thoughtfully towards the north beyond the drizzle.
In the city, groups of people were acting secretly. When Fu Pingbo's team began to clean up the streets, Xu Zhaonan was already arranging the order to threaten the various missions; in the north of the city, Zuo Xiuquan received the order from Shi Baofeng. A warning came from the side, calling a meeting for Yin Ping, Yue Yun and others who got into trouble last night; Wu Qimei, the most vulnerable among all parties in the city, and the envoys sent by Tie Yanfang fled the inn overnight and moved Place... Some people were watching the changes on the street and discussing the changes that might be caused after the arrival of the "Military Sage".
To the north of Jiangning City, on the wharf outside the city, many workers were already working in the cold autumn rain. Groups of troops came here. Then, some people raised their heads on the wooden frame of the wharf in the drizzle and looked at Toward the Yangtze River, which looked like a mist and rain.
A fleet of boats with huge flags had already crossed the river, and the huge building boats were slowly heading this way.
Someone recognized the flag and knelt on the ground.
"...Save all the people..." Some people began to kowtow.
"...King of Justice, save all people..."
A piece of news was like a stone hitting the river bank. The ripples of the news began to spread towards the entire Jiangning City. Soon after, some people started running around the city with the news.
The fair king, He Wen, is here.
…
Shi Baofeng stood on the attic and looked toward the river bank in the north for a while. On the street in the distance, someone was galloping on horseback in the rain.
He rubbed his fingers.
"Some small things, just casual."
he said.
"Get ready to negotiate."
******
Time went back half an hour, and in a side room on the second floor of Wuhu Inn, the five-foot-y demon whose nickname had spread suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Something's not right..."
His eyes were still closed, and his ears moved, listening to what was going on around him.
It's raining outside.
In the inn, the shopkeeper and several companions were looking for the waiter named Ah Qing to no avail, and some companions ran in from outside.
"Something happened..."
"What's wrong?"
"There is a large group of people coming this way. On the way, they asked about our seats..."
"Who is it?"
"No, no, I don't know...it looks like the flag is from King Ping Ping's side."
"Go ahead, call everyone around and come over. Ah Qing didn't see you last night. Someone is here now. Things are about to get worse... take everything you have and I'll burn it first!"
There was a continuous drizzle outside. Xue Jin, who had been worried all night, put on a tattered raincoat and walked up from the bridge. Then he stood on the roadside and saw a large group of people coming leisurely. The leader was a young man. They crossed the bridge and were about to start their procession in front of the Five Lakes Inn.
"Drive away everyone around and surround this place for me."
The young master gave the order.
The minions spread out in all directions, and someone came towards Xue Jin and shouted: "Get out of here!" ah."
Xue Jin wanted to go back to the bridge cave below. He took two steps this way, and the other party kicked him: "You don't understand when I tell you to leave."
"I returned……"
Xue Jin knelt on the ground and began to kowtow. The man kicked him over and fell into the muddy water.
Over at the inn, in some of the surrounding buildings, many people began to pour out and came towards Shi Baofeng's team, and began to confront each other on the street.
"What?"
"Are the people from the 'Equality King' coming here to cause trouble?"
"...Is there any more royal method?"
At the front of the team, Shi Weiyang frowned. The siege was blocked. He called the people around him to negotiate - according to his past temper, he would ask the men around him to beat people directly, but now he has grown up and matured.
Dad is here. We have to take care of the overall situation. There is no need to make the matter a big deal. After all, it is just a search for two outsiders who have nothing to do with the Fair Party.
After the initial negotiation here, the courier rushed into the inn and reported to the innkeeper that the other party just wanted to arrest two outsiders who had offended them, one was a five-foot Yin demon and the other was a four-foot Yin demon. All he had to do was search them
, the other party arrested the person and left.
"...The one opposite seems to be Shi Weiyang, Shi Baofeng's son. We can't afford to offend him. If it's true, wouldn't it be enough to give them someone?"
The shopkeeper's face was gloomy and uncertain: "A Qingcai disappeared and people came. He said he wanted to arrest him, so you searched for him. Can we withstand the search? Next time someone says that the chickens at home are missing, you
Should we also search him? Go ahead, we have to offend him even if we can’t afford to offend him. We are flying the flag of being a farmer and a virtuous man. If we don’t piss him into the pot of equal kings! If you want to come in, tell him no way.”
The two demon brothers with bruises and swollen faces quietly ran out of the main building of the inn. They observed from the side for a while, and then quietly climbed to the wooden building next to it.
"Who is this? What happened?" the little monk asked curiously and in a low voice.
"People who look like shit babies..."
"Are you here to catch us?"
"No way." Long Aotian clapped his fingers and thought for a while, "We have mainly offended Wei Xuwen and Zhou Shang recently. We also had a fight with Monkey, but we haven't started to offend Shit Baby yet.
.”
He felt that he was innocent: "But... they are all bad people no matter what. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Let's go out from behind to avoid the limelight to avoid being affected."
"What does it mean for a gentleman not to build dangerous walls?"
"This is an idiom."
Taking advantage of the confrontation at the front, the two quietly climbed out toward the rear. Of course, out of a desire to watch the excitement, they also stayed on the roof for a while.
On the road in front of Wuhu Inn, the quarrel became more and more fierce. Shi Weiyang's face had become extremely ugly. The people he brought were many and powerful, and he gave the other party a little courtesy out of his own goodwill. Who knew that this gang
Those who carry the banner of being a peasant and a wise man refuse to give in even an inch. What kind of lunacy is this?
Just when they were about to get angry and fight, some movements began to become obvious on the main road not far away in the city, and a large number of people, horses and flags were mobilized around.
Not long after, news came that "Military Sage" Lin Jiaojiu had entered the city.
The waiters in the inn and the people nearby who were helping the boxers suddenly became excited. Some people even ran to the main street and began to complain to the "Long Xian" and "Jun Xian" people and ask for help. Suddenly, bloodshed was about to happen.
In front of the Wuhu Inn where the tragedy occurred, the situation returned to a confrontation. Shi Weiyang maintained his rationality.
Under the rain curtain, there was a commotion.
The little monk and the young man who came out from behind watched the excitement for a moment on the roof, and then went down to the back alley, ready to leave this place of right and wrong. Things were so chaotic and exciting. If they hadn't just fought last night
There was a fight. At this moment, Xiao Aotian, who was worried that the world would not be in chaos, wanted to go over and shout: "Listen to my advice... let's have a fight."
"I'm telling you, it's most interesting to secretly watch them fight in groups."
He imparts life lessons to his younger brother.
There were some debris in the long and dirty back alley, and there was mud under their feet in the rain. At a certain moment, the two people walking forward saw a figure in front of them, and they simultaneously hid aside. The young monk walking behind was hiding behind
Behind a pile of garbage, Long Aotian in front was slightly stunned.
He heard a voice.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
This voice was somewhat familiar, coming from a plump dark-skinned girl under a raincoat.
Her next sentence was: "...Isn't this our world-famous five-foot demon, Long Aotian?"
The young man's face was originally a little flustered and frightened, but at this moment, all the expressions on his face froze.
He knew that he was already dead.
…
"...That! It's! They! They! Defeated! Me! -"
In the early morning of the chaotic city, someone screamed out with grief and indignation in the rain. At this time, King Ping Ping was entering the city. Countless people were kowtowing in the rain. There was a confrontation on the street. Xue Jin crawled back under the bridge, trembling and crying.
Countless intrigues are intertwining, and Ning Ji sees a black girl who shouldn't exist here.
