The sun rises in the east in the morning, and the moon sets in the west every night.
Time flies by so fast, this thrilling night, this ecstatic night is finally coming to an end.
Amidst the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, the blood on the long street has long been washed away, the scattered corpses have disappeared without a trace, and all the broken knives and broken swords have disappeared, as if nothing had happened and they had been swept clean.
But is it really over?
of course not.
…
"Tanghulu, delicious candied haws!"
"Roasted chestnuts with sugar, fragrant and sweet roasted chestnuts!"
…
Early in the morning, amid all kinds of noisy shouting, the lame butcher set up the meat case, opened the shop, carried half a fan of fat pork from the backyard, placed it at the door of the butcher shop, and then got acquainted with the passing vendors. Saying hello.
The butcher is a young man with a dark complexion and a thin body. He is wrapped in a dirty and greasy bib and coarse linen clothes. His trouser legs and sleeves are rolled up, and his clothes are half open, revealing a strong and strong chest. He looks at it with a pair of bright eyes. Toward the street.
"Aunt Six, how about a pound of ribs?"
The young man smiled and greeted, while facing the skylight, he held a knife in one hand and a sharpening stick in the other, and made a series of sharp and crisp sounds with the blade.
The woman passing by raised her neck, looked at the meat on the table with some disgust, and immediately rolled her eyes: "Hey, who will eat this pickled stuff? There are good people holding a banquet in Jinling City these days, I This belly is going to eat big fish, big meat, delicacies from the mountains and the sea."
The young man was not angry, he just smiled kindly.
Since he bought this butcher shop, he has been polite to everyone, and he has also taken good care of those neighbors who like to take advantage of others. He always only has more than enough, which is enough.
Aunt Six walked straight away, and she could still hear a few harsh and bitter mutterings in her mouth: "You're a stinking lame, you're a damn lame, you're still a fool, you smile at everyone every day, and you laugh when you're taken advantage of, and sooner or later you're going to close down shop... Fortunately, I didn’t marry my daughter to him.”
The young man seemed to be accustomed to chopping bones and picking flesh with his knife, but his lowered eyes were a little uneasy.
Because not far away is the Confucius Temple. Early every morning, there should be many craftsmen there who are doing jugglers, tricks, or performing arts on the street, but now, there is no one.
The young man is, of course, Li Muchan, and his current identity is just a butcher selling meat in the market, lame Ah Si.
In the past three years, in addition to the identity of "Ghost Master", he has many identities in Jinling City.
As early as three years ago, when he took control of the Qinhuai River, he had already made up his mind to wait for this day and plan for this day.
"It didn't work?"
Seeing that none of the craftsmen showed up, Li Muchan already made a guess.
All dead.
Li Muchan sighed secretly, it was still too reluctant.
Because all these arrangements are not seamless.
The seven dragon heads, the most unpredictable dragon head, have not yet appeared. This person knows him, and may even have seen all his preparations. I am afraid that it is not that he has not come, but that he is hiding in the dark and wants to Destroy his confidence, defeat the perfect traps one by one, and completely surrender him.
Li Muchan felt it was a pity.
In fact, these people are not bad. Although they have not yet mastered martial arts, under the hatred of blood feud, in order to take revenge, they have no scruples and forget about life and death. They are cruel enough that they can even kill themselves.
But the most important thing is that he is very obedient, or that he completes everything he assigned very well.
These people did not obey Li Muchan, but cooperated with him. They even sneaked into Jinling to kill him, the "Seven Dragon Heads". However, by chance, the two sides were able to join forces to fight against the "Blue Dragon Society".
However, these people may be dead, all of them, but he is still not defeated.
Even if those big dragon heads can escape to death, the traps and hidden weapons he laid out should be enough to kill them. What's more, there is the "Money Gang" in the city who is eyeing them. With Shangguan Xiaoxian's temperament, he will never let go. Live this great opportunity.
As for Yan Shisan, and the word "ancestral hall" he mentioned, Li Muchan has no intention of finding out. This is his only friend and he cherishes it very much. Now that the situation is so critical, it is even more impossible. Putting the other party in danger, not to mention he still has some strength left.
And it can be seen that Da Longshou likes Yan Shisan very much, but it is much safer than being his "ghost master" friend.
Suddenly, it started to rain.
Black clouds hung in the sky, thunder and lightning flashed.
In the gloomy sky, big raindrops began to fall, one drop, two drops, three drops, four drops...
After a while, long and sad lines of rain hung under the eaves, and the sky became frighteningly dark. Pedestrians on the street fled in panic, running away with their heads in their hands.
A sense of uneasiness arose in Li Muchan's heart. It is said that the clouds follow the dragon and the wind follows the tiger. Now the dark clouds are covering the sky and the wind and rain are blowing. It is really not a good sign.
He glanced at the street. The drug store that had just opened its doors to welcome customers suddenly closed its doors and windows. The boss and his assistants also retreated into the store. The children passing by were jumping around and were suddenly hugged by adults and ran back home. There were also some The maidservant, who was walking smoothly at first, suddenly retreated into the corner of the street like a ghost, making no sound.
In an instant, the street filled with smoke and smoke became frighteningly deserted, dead silent except for the heavy rain.
Li Muchan sighed helplessly and wiped his hands with his bib.
Times change, and it's his turn.
Li Muchan looked into the wind and rain.
At both ends of the long street, many people suddenly walked out.
At one end is the "Qinglong Society" led by Erlongshou, and at the other end is the "Money Gang" headed by Shangguan Xiaoxian.
The two parties faced each other, and between them, there was a simple and deserted butcher shop.
Li Muchan suddenly understood that the two forces had temporarily put aside their hatred of each other at this time, and worked together to eliminate his plans and arrangements, not wanting him, the "ghost master", to rise completely.
He smiled bitterly: "It's too bullying."
Who would have thought that these two powerful forces that could dominate the world would actually deal with him alone.
A pair of dark green umbrellas and apricot umbrellas faced each other in the rain.
The second dragon-headed man in white clothes, Shengxue, with a dragon-head mask on his face, said calmly: "He only wants your loyalty, as long as you come out and come over, last night will be forgotten, and you will be completely close to the pinnacle of power in the world, and you will never be restrained. .”
Li Muchan didn't seem to be panicked at all, and asked with a smile: "What's the price?"
Erlongshou said: "Abandon your martial arts."
"Without martial arts, you are just a useless person." Shangguan Xiaoxian, dressed in red like fire, holding a yellow paper umbrella, with flying black hair and smiling eyes, "Mr. sir, is there any way out for you? If not, come with me. Bar."
She was curious.
This man, in less than a year, went from a small role to a leading figure in the "Blue Dragon Society", the Demon Cult, and the "Money Gang". He also single-handedly created a huge money empire, with astonishing wealth and the power to control an entire city. It's really hard to imagine.
So Shangguan Xiaoxian was very curious, and even expected that Li Muchan had a backup plan. She really wanted to see how far this man could go and how high he could climb.
Underneath the curiosity, there is also some sadness that is not easy to detect.
No matter how far this person goes today or how high he climbs, he still has no chance of winning under the encirclement and suppression of the two major forces.
Li Muchan stood in the butcher shop, closed his eyes and took a long breath. After all, his background was too shallow. He thought he could last for a few days, but he didn't expect it to be over in one night: "Can I think about it?"
Erlongshou's voice was calm and he simply said: "Okay, you can come out and think about it slowly."
Li Muchan smiled. It seemed that these people had understood his scheming and planning. They didn't even dare to break into his three-acre land. In this way, even if the big dragon heads were not dead, they would probably die. The damage was considerable, and the battle was not without merit.
Li Muchan asked: "Is there a stool?"
Shangguan Xiaoxian waved his hand: "Set up a seat!"
In an instant, a gorgeous chair was placed in the middle of the street with a big umbrella on it.
The wind and rain hit his face, Li Muchan walked out, and when he went out, he took out a dark box from under the meat case, walked into the heavy rain, and sat on a chair with his eyes narrowed and frozen. .
"Then I'll think about it!"
From today onwards, more updates will be added
