Early morning.
The sound of firecrackers outside was loud, and Lin Zheyu’s fist hit the wooden pile in the yard, making a bang-bang sound.
After practicing boxing for several hours, my understanding of boxing postures became a little better.
Walking on the street.
Everyone was worshiping gods, and the sound of crackling firecrackers was everywhere.
There are so many gods in the Wei Dynasty. On this day, people are either worshiping the gods or preparing to worship the gods.
Every household burns banknotes and burns incense religiously, praying that in the new year, life will be better and the war will subside.
Most of the adults have no smiles on their faces and are full of sorrow.
Business is not good, bandits are rampant outside the city, and crops cannot be grown because they are all robbed by bandits.
Even Lin Zheyu himself is having a hard time, with his income shrinking repeatedly.
From the peak period, the income was about two thousand cash per day, but now it has shrunk to just over a thousand cash when combined with the monthly wages from the Feihong Gang.
Shrunk by nearly half.
Different from the difficult days of common people, the aristocratic families still live a comfortable life, singing and dancing in peace.
The clear and melodious singing voice of the singer was accompanied by instrumental accompaniment.
Xingjia Songningyuan, where singing and dancing flourished, was not affected by the war.
The dancer is extremely revealing, wearing a pink gauze with no strands underneath, which is very eye-catching.
Today is the New Year, and the younger generation of the Xing family gathered in Songning Garden to enjoy dancing, listening to music, chatting and having fun. There was no scene of economic depression at all.
The two brothers Xing Jinglong and Xing Penghai are also here. In addition to them, the sons and ladies of the Xing family's collateral and related families are also here.
"Wonderful, wonderful"
The young master opposite Xing Jinglong clapped his hands lightly and said in appreciation.
The dancer invited today has a graceful figure and gorgeous dancing, which is really pleasing to the eye.
"Brother, if you like it, I will ask my servants to arrange a few of them later. Wouldn't it be nice to stay overnight?" Xing Jinglong said with a smile.
"Leave one for me by the way, I'll have a taste too, hehe."
Xing Jinglong and Xing Jing'an are biological brothers, thirteen years apart. Xing Penghai is the son of Xing Jinglong's third uncle and his cousin.
Although the two are brothers, their appearances are very different.
Xing Jingan looks delicate and well-proportioned, with a sense of handsomeness. Xing Jinglong is tall, fat and strong, and looks a bit wretched and sinister.
"It's not my turn. Someone is interested in these dancers, so it's not our turn to choose." Xing Jing'an shrugged and said with a smile.
"That's right. In previous years, those direct descendants had to finish selecting before it was our turn." Xing Jinglong said regretfully.
"There are plenty of beautiful girls. When the banquet is over, my brothers and I will go to Baihua Building to have some fun. I have reserved a large private room." Xing Penghai said with a smile.
"Brother Hai, how is the progress there?"
Xing Jing'an asked, Xing Penghai was a few years older than him and was his cousin.
"Those bandits are all human beings and are not easy to persuade. Moreover, the Lion Valley is full of dangers. With the help of the natural environment, it is easy to hide and hard to find."
"It's been so long. Now, I have subdued a small group of less than fifty people, and the leader’s strength is quite good, reaching the peak of the Zang Refining Realm."
Xing Penghai said casually, keeping his eyes on the dancing dancer. Ji.
"It's the same on my side. Every family has taken precautions, so it's difficult to instigate rebellion." Xing Jingan said.
"Uncle, aren't they afraid of being discovered by the city lord for their blatant actions? The city lord's strength is extremely terrifying. If they are discovered, then"
Xing Jinglong said with some worry.
"What are you afraid of? The city lord doesn't care about anything, as long as it doesn't cause too much trouble and doesn't disrupt the order of Songyi City."
"And we are just recruiting bandits from outside the city into the city. The guards have not only suppressed the banditry, but also strengthened Song Yicheng, which is a great thing."
Xing Penghai chuckled and didn't take it seriously.
He turned to look at Xing Jinglong and asked, "Has the kid you paid attention to recently done anything?"
"His intelligence and talent are pretty good. If he can conquer and control , use secret medicine to cultivate and stimulate potential, and within half a year, you can cultivate a strong Qi and Blood Realm."
The Xing family has an ancestral secret medicine recipe that can inspire talented warriors. The future potential allows the warrior's strength to skyrocket in a short period of time.
However, this recipe requires extremely high potential of warriors and is only useful for those geniuses with amazing understanding and talent. It will have no effect on ordinary people.
After use, regardless of success or failure, the warrior's lifespan will be greatly reduced, to less than five years.
Therefore, the Xing family always looks for outside geniuses, uses medicine to control them, and then uses secret medicine to enhance their strength and make them become the family's thugs.
This secret medicine is extremely expensive, has a lifespan of only five years after use, and is not cost-effective.
Only in times of war would they use secret medicine to enhance the strength of those talented warriors to deal with the upcoming crisis.
"People are already staring at him, but that guy is very slippery and doesn't usually go out much. In the city, there are many people and it's hard to do anything."
Xing Jinglong said, "As soon as he leaves the city, people from the Wuding Gang will report to me, and then I will lead people to control him outside the city."
"Well, this matter can't be rushed. It's really hard to do anything in the city. If you pull someone's hand and move your whole body, it will cause a backlash from other companies." Xing Jing'an nodded and said, and their eyes turned to Wu Ji.
The dancers invited today are indeed very beautiful. Even they who are used to seeing beauties can’t help but want to take a few more looks.
Cross the street and come to Bidan Tea House.
When he has nothing to do on weekdays, Lin Zheyu likes to sit in the teahouse or Baihualou to cultivate his sentiments.
Although the Feihong Gang doesn't have many things to do, many small things can be handled by those little guys.
But Lin Zheyu and Jia Yanyong cannot just wander around and need to respond to possible emergencies at any time.
With the influx of people from other cities, there were more people making trouble in Songyi City, but they were easily dealt with.
In this young year, there are more people with their families in the teahouse.
Jia Yanyong and others were also there, but there were only three of them, mingling together and laughing obscenely.
The three of them all like the story of the Condor Shooting, and Lin Zheyu often drinks tea here, and gradually this place becomes their base camp.
I just stay here from time to time to have a drink, gamble, and gossip.
"It's a young year. What are you doing here if you are not at home to help?"
Lin Zheyu walked over and sat with them.
"Hey, it's boring to stay at home. My mother-in-law and parents are taking care of this and that. It's very annoying." Jia Yanyong said impatiently.
The other two nodded in agreement.
These guys are not the masters of the Gu family. They hang out all day long. Lin Zheyu feels worthless for their mother-in-law, but he doesn't say much.
"Mr. Xu asked you to come over yesterday. Is there any good thing?" Xie Jiang asked curiously.
"I went over to have some drinks and met Mr. Chen and Mr. Ren." Lin Zheyu said.
"No more"
"No more, what else do you want"
Lin Zheyu glanced at him, he didn't want to tell this gossip guy Xu Qinyi wanted to introduce a girl to him.
After saying this, it will probably spread throughout the Feihong Gang tomorrow.
He took a sip of tea and changed the subject, "Do you know what the city lord's strength is?"
He had asked Gang Leader Xu before, but Gang Leader Xu didn't tell him.
Later, I also secretly inquired about the news with other people, but they didn’t know much about the city lord.
The city lord has always been extremely low-key. Many people in the city only know him as the lord of the government office, and they don’t know that there is a city lord in Songyi City.
"City Lord"
"Why do you ask this question?"
Jia Yanyong wondered, in his personal opinion, the City Lord actually did not have much sense of existence.
“I don’t know. I only know that the city lord’s surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Qingfeng. He was appointed by the Wei Palace.”
“I have been coming to Songyicheng for more than ten years, and there is nothing wrong with it. A sense of presence. The city lord will serve for twenty years, and he will be transferred in a few years and replaced by another adult," Xie Jiang said.
"You have been in Songyicheng for so long, have you ever seen him take action?" Lin Zheyu asked.
After he returned that day, he searched through the memories of his predecessor, and his impression of the Lord of Jiunan City was extremely vague.
My predecessor was devoted to reading, and the most important things in my memory were those countless sages.Book.
"No."
Jia Yanyong and Xie Jiang shook their heads.
"I know some gossip about the city lord, but please don't tell anyone."
Ning Hui looked around carefully and saw that no one was eavesdropping, so he continued in a low voice. Go on.
Such a cautious look instantly aroused the curiosity of several people.
"Especially you, Xie Jiang, first swear not to tell anyone, otherwise you won't listen." Ning Hui looked at Xie Jiang, full of distrust.
Xie Jiang looked at Ning Hui speechlessly and cursed.
But he still swore a poisonous oath very reluctantly, because he was also very curious
"More than ten years ago, there were five largest aristocratic families in Songyi City, but Now there are only three left, do you know why?" Ning Hui said mysteriously.
"It's not that a plague broke out and everyone in the two families died," Jia Yanyong said.
He was still young at that time, but he had some impression that many people died at that time.
One night, without any warning, two of the five major families in Songyicheng died silently overnight.
Even some farmers near them and many people in the city died quietly that night.
Afterwards, the government began to investigate, and it didn't take long for them to give an explanation, saying that there was some kind of severe epidemic in the city.
"That's just an external statement."
"I heard that it was the city lord who wiped out those two families overnight." Ning Hui lowered his voice said.
"Fuck, it's true or false," Jia Yanyong said in shock.
"Where did you hear the gossip? How come I haven't heard of it?"
Xie Jiang asked with some doubts and disbelief, "And what on earth did they commit?" Only major events will be quietly erased, leaving no one left."
Jia Yanyong also raised doubts, "At that time, the two families disappeared silently overnight, and no one was left. "
"If Cheng took the initiative, how terrifying would the city lord's strength be?"
Lin Zheyu also thought of this problem.
To quietly wipe out the population of two families, including Qi and Blood Realm warriors, is unimaginable.
"I have evidence."
"Come on, come closer, don't let others listen to you."
"My father is in trouble A few years ago, he was a steward of the White House. Later, he committed a crime and was kicked out, but he knew the White House very well."
"According to my father, the White House may be suspected of treason"< /p>
Ning Hui lowered his voice very low and said in a serious tone.
"F*ck"
Jia Yanyong couldn't help but say something, and Ning Hui covered his mouth. His eyes showed that if you dare to tell me, I will bite you.
“It’s true or not?” Xie Jiang was also shocked.
"Really, I can still lie to you."
"Do you still remember the great famine more than ten years ago?"
"The great famine At that time, there was a nursery rhyme circulating in Songyi City, saying that Huang Tian is dead, the sky is standing, and so on."
"Those who spread the nursery rhyme were all arrested and beheaded. ."
"And by chance, my father discovered that the Bai family was actually worshiping other gods in secret, called the Supreme Emperor of the Ten Thousand Dao Golden Tower."
"This is the title of a god that can only be held by the Taizu of the dynasty."
Ning Hui whispered, "So I guess that they were secretly involved in rebellion, and after being discovered by the city lord, they erased it overnight. ."
Xie Jiang""
Jia Yanyong""
Lin Zheyu""
After hearing this gossip, several people were a little confused. Shocked.
Ning Hui felt proud when he saw the shocked expressions of several people.
"You kid didn't just make up a story to lie to us, right?"
Xie Jiang came over, still a little unconvinced.
Even if those two aristocratic families are really suspected of treason, the city lord is still too powerful.
What kind of strength does it take to wipe out two aristocratic families with strong Qi and Blood Realm masters overnight?
"Really, it's a lie." What are you doing?" Ning Hui said seriously.
"I have heard of the name of the Supreme Golden Emperor of Ten Thousand Daos in the Sky before."
Lin Zheyu said, "Didn't I be a refugee for a while? Among the refugees, I have heard the name of the Supreme Emperor of Cangtian."
"Many people directly call him Cangtian Emperor and make clay statues to worship him, hoping to survive. ”
Among the refugees, there are some who believe in all kinds of gods.
However, the most people believe in the Cangtian Emperor, and it seems that some people are spreading it secretly.
Lin Zheyu didn't care at the time. When people face despair, they always like to believe in some empty gods and pray for miracles.
At that time, he also secretly prayed to Jesus, Bodhisattva, Buddha, God and other gods in previous lives.
But it’s useless.
