A quiet room in Zilanxuan
Zi Nu looked at the growing darkness, took out a new incense burner and lit it. The smoke is dense, and the floating shape is like a twisted dragon, swinging but not dispersing.
Han Fei trembled suddenly when he saw his tired face. The fragrance entered his nose, refreshing, and he seemed to feel lighter. He looked at the position of the incense burner with a surprised look on his face, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Miss Zi Nu, what a great gesture."
Zhang Liang, who had always been calm and collected, nodded in agreement with Han Fei's words.
With their identities, Han Fei and Zhang Liang are naturally not ignorant people who have never seen the world.
Although Han Fei always spends all his money, he is also a son of the royal family with 800 feudal households. Zhang Liang is the eldest grandson of the Zhang family, the city father of the fifth generation. But it is because of their status and vision that they can recognize him. How valuable is the incense that Zi Nu puts into the incense burner?
It was ambergris. Legend has it that this incense was produced in the Dragon Ruins in the abyss of the South China Sea. The local natives, who were gifted with the ability to be impervious to water and fire, spent years of hard work to collect a cluster. The price was more than ten times more expensive than gold.
The most important thing is that no matter how much money you have, the output is only a little, and what you can buy will definitely be the top powerful people in the seven countries. Therefore, even Han Wangan, who loved ambergris, only had a few pieces of ambergris in his hands, and he was only willing to use one at his birthday banquet.
Han Fei couldn't help but clicked his tongue. Even though he had known her for a long time, Zi Nu could open his eyes every time and bring out some seemingly ordinary objects that actually had extraordinary origins.
Zi Nu didn't say anything, she just made a pot of tea and prepared some snacks to dispel the sleepiness for everyone.
They gathered here, waiting for news from Wei Zhuang.
It's not because he is worried about Wei Zhuang's safety. There are too few people and things in Xinzheng City that can threaten a first-class master. What's more, Wei Zhuang is the initiator of this attack. Even if he loses, he definitely has the ability to evacuate safely. .
Not long after the furnace of ambergris was put into the furnace, Wei Zhuang entered the quiet room with a man who looked like a beggar from the back door of Zilanxuan.
The man was holding a crutch in his hand, and his stooped back seemed to be pressing on a huge stone. The stone made his crutch tremble under the weight.
He walked in slowly from the door, taking small steps.
The soles of his feet were covered with mud, and whimpers came from his throat from time to time. The past few days of imprisonment in the Poison Scorpion Gate had made him weaker than before, and he became even less of a human being.
But Han Fei and others did not urge him, and no one helped him. They just watched quietly.
It's not disgusting, nor is it heartless.
However, they already know the identity of this "beggar", the former Korean Right Sima Li Kai.
A former general had his own arrogance and would not want anyone to support him at this time.
Li Kai just walked step by step. It was only a dozen steps away from an ordinary person, but it took him a long time and was sweating profusely before he walked in front of everyone.
…
At this moment, in the General's Mansion, Ji Wuye once again threw several wine bottles in a rage.
Because the Poisonous Scorpion Sect was destroyed.
What happened at the Poisonous Scorpion Sect was actually nothing compared to what happened in the suburbs of Xinzheng.
Xinzheng City is dotted with gangs of all sizes. In addition to Qijuetang and Poisonous Scorpion Sect, there are also many forces such as Qingzhu Gang, Sancunmen and Guanshankou.
There are four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Xinzheng. The north city is the territory of the palace, royal family and top nobles, and the south city is the residence of those high-ranking officials. These gangs dare not get involved in these two areas.
Therefore, these gangs, large and small, are fighting for the East City and the West City.
Xicheng is the residence of poor people with little money and wealth, so their main focus is Dongcheng, the most prosperous and commercially developed area in Xinzheng City.
In the entire Dongcheng, except for Zilanxuan, all shops opened on this street and all vendors setting up stalls on the roadside must pay regular money to the local gangs in exchange for shelter.
Qi Juetang was originally the leader among them.
This gang, which was established with former Korean soldiers as its core members, almost defeated other gangs in terms of force, but it was blocked by the Scorpion Gate.
This gang is as full of darkness and fear as its name. Their sect leader Poisonous Scorpion made his fortune by conducting dark transactions in the arena, so the Poisonous Scorpion sect is also full of desperadoes.
The Poisonous Scorpion Gate imprisons many people with high status, huge wealth, or who know some high-level secrets, imprisoning them in the gloomy Poisonous Scorpion Gate dungeon, waiting for buyers who have grudges against these people to come to the door, and pay a price that both parties are satisfied with. Sell these people to make huge profits.
But doing this kind of business, although there are huge profits to be made, it is also easy to make enemies.
Although people in the world have enemies, they also have relatives and friends, so they need a stable and strong backer.
Therefore, a few years ago, the leader of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect, Poisonous Scorpion, found Ji Wuye.
Ji Wuye was at the height of his popularity at that time. Although he looked down on these guys from the bottom of his heart, the monthly tribute money from the Poisonous Scorpion Sect was indeed a considerable amount of wealth.
In addition, Ye Mo also needs a gang to handle some chores for them. After all, he can't let the sharp sword "Hundred Birds" handle some trivial matters.
So he accepted this poisonous scorpion sect which was insignificant in his eyes.
But it was one thing for Ji Wuye to look down on the little Poisonous Scorpion Sect, and another thing for the Poisonous Scorpion Sect to be destroyed.
Who in Xinzheng City doesn't know that he is the backer of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect, and destroying the Poisonous Scorpion Sect is equivalent to a slap in the face.
However, despite being furious, Ji Wuye still endured it.
As Bai Yifei said, this country has been comfortable for too long, so many people have forgotten why they needed night in the first place and the chaos they faced in the first place...
And the beast they unleash will teach those untouchables what fear is.

PS: Although it’s a little late, I still wish everyone a happy Christmas Eve.
However, this Christmas Eve is definitely not a peaceful one for me, after all, my parents are still in bed.
In fact, many friends advised me to take a day off today. It would not have any impact if I stopped updating new books for a day. I also believe that all my considerate book friends will understand me.
I slept for almost the whole day. Except for being awake when cooking three meals, I spent the rest of the time sleeping and resting. I didn't even eat, and I was seizing every minute and every second.
But...it changed after all.
I feel like I should still be able to hold on, and after resting for a whole day, my mental and physical conditions are indeed a little better, and I should be in a state where I can code.
Therefore, although I cannot bring you an extra update on Christmas Eve, I will still do my best to update you all and wish you all a wonderful night.
