For three whole months, Beicheng and even Yang Jie were in a state of shock. The gangs and other dominant forces that divided their territories, large and small, had been hit to varying degrees, and only those who were running the shops honestly people maintain their usual lives.
As for Beicheng, most of it was cleared during this period. Walking on the streets, there are many closed shops. This situation can be described as a waste of money.
That day, when the soldiers were sleeping, Pangzong made an appointment with Tahu, who had switched to casting, to have a drink together. The two of them walked down the street in a sigh. If they hadn't been with the right person, they probably wouldn't even know where they were now. Maybe they would have become A rotting corpse in a mass grave in the countryside.
The success or failure of life and death is really just a matter of thoughts. They walked into a tavern that they used to frequent, but they heard the sound of wheels rolling through the stone street. Looking back, they saw prison cars holding prisoners slowly approaching.
Fatty Zong took another look and was suddenly startled. Is that Luo Yi? !
Surprised and suspicious, the two begged the guards and were able to get close to the prison car.
The wheel was still rolling, and Fatty Zong angrily grabbed the corner of Luo Yi's robe and chased him, "What's going on!"
Luo Yi felt guilty and bitter, "This is my fault, I can't blame others."
It turned out that he was a spy placed by the city lord in the Beicheng Army, but he was confused by Beicheng, and turned around and became a spy of Han Qi. Now after a thorough investigation, he has naturally been exposed.
It's just that this revelation made him relieved. It was good to end this life, so that he wouldn't have to be entangled between loyalty and death.
"Maybe the only thing I did right was to let you leave the city army."
Tahu clenched his fists loudly and punched him hard, "Fart, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Fatty Zong simply hates the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel. "You used to say you wanted to live peacefully, but now you've actually killed yourself. What does that mean?"
Luo Yi laughed, "Don't mess around."
No matter how much you say, it will become silence at this moment.
Fatty Zong threw him a jug of wine.
The three of them, one in the prison car and two outside the prison car, drank all the way.
In this turmoil, a group of people dismounted and a group of people took over. It was like this.
In addition to receiving orders to participate in a few clean-ups, Zhan Changfeng spent most of his time wandering among the people, and occasionally went out to sea with ships a few times. After inspection, he found that the city did have a lot of supplies for casual cultivators, which could be used to accumulate capital.
It was dawn, the gates of the North City were wide open, and villagers from nearby villages who came to the city for the market and casual cultivators from other places entered the city in an orderly manner accompanied by the morning light.
Zhan Changfeng had just returned from abroad and was not exposed to the weather. Along the way, he saw the man dressed in white drinking tea at a roadside tea stall and asked for a basket of ordinary snacks.
The main street was wide, even if it wasn't wide, but she didn't avoid it as much as last time, "City Lord."
Hua Jianci rested her forehead on her hands and her eyes were quiet, mixed with a hint of laziness, "Have you seen me this time?"
"If you encounter it once, you will never forget it."
"sit."
Zhan Changfeng sat down on the bench. The noise on the street seemed to be avoided, leaving only the shallow ripples. She was not familiar with Huajian, and at the same time she felt a contradictory atmosphere about her.
Whether it is the rumors outside or what she is doing, they all show that she is a person who works hard and is good at maneuvering. In person, she feels that nothing is bothering her, but she is not detached on the surface, but seems to be world-weary.
She was widely rumored to be a deviant, firstly because of her unique military and political methods, and secondly because she left her old club inexplicably. Shanhaijie was stricter about loyalty to the emperor, and she was criticized by many parties for this.
I heard that this incident caused an uproar in the Donglin Dynasty. The forces of the Donglin Dynasty and the former hostile forces all issued a pursuit order for her. It did not stop until she killed several people in the realm of life and death. However, her reputation was also From the original light, she turned to the demon, and even said that she was unfaithful and unjust.
Donglin Royal Court did not explain the reason for her departure, but issued an order to permanently reduce her title.
Zhan Changfeng was not the one who made the first impressions. The only thing that caught her attention was that Donglin Royal Court did not give this order when she left, but gave it after she killed several people in the realm of life and death and her reputation became bad.
After this order, many forces in the interior boycotted her from becoming an official.
For a person who has a reputation for leaving no stone unturned, to allow himself to fall into this situation is either to be arrogant or indifferent. However, being arrogant and indifferent can also be divided into passive and indifferent and being in control.
"How can the city lord have time to look at the street scene?"
"The street scenes are the same every year, but the people are different." Hua Jianci made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Zhan Changfeng.
Zhan Changfeng glanced at the reddish-brown liquid covered with broken leaves.
Hua Jianci smiled and said, "Don't like drinking rough tea? I thought you wouldn't care."
"I don't care," she held the tea cup in her hands, "I'm just a little surprised."
"Why are you surprised that I would sit on the roadside and treat you to tea?"
"No," Zhan Changfeng touched the tea cup and said, "The tea leaves are moldy."
Huajianci ""
The stall owner was anxious, "Sir, don't bother me. Oops, how about I give you a drink instead?"
"Just give me a glass of warm water."
Hua Jianci's eyebrows knitted together, but he immediately returned to his original state. He also asked for a cup of warm water, "Sorry, I've never drunk this kind of tea."
Zhan Changfeng comforted him seriously, "The city lord may have never drank coarse tea, so it is easy for him to regard the white hair on coarse tea as its special feature."
She didn't feel comforted. Hua Jianci took a sip of warm water and said, "This time, I probably want to thank you for starting the game for me."
This man's insight is indeed shocking. He has just entered Yang Jiecheng and the Beicheng Army system, but he can open up the battle at his own pace.
Zhan Changfeng said, "I'm just fulfilling the agreement, it's just a coincidence."
Agreement? Hua Jianci naturally remembered the agreement she made, but it was so generous that no one believed it.
"I like fairness the most," Zhan Changfeng "looked" at the glass of clear water in front of him, "I will find a balance in all the gains and losses, blessings and promises."
"Every word I say must be what I want to say, so I will implement it."
She said she would make the Qing Gang disappear, and she would naturally make it disappear. Even if Hua Jianci didn't set up this plan against the Beicheng Army and other major forces.
Besides, even if it wasn't her, wouldn't there still be Yaoyi, and wouldn't there be many people who were later instigated and planted?
Hua Jianci chewed these words carefully and said sadly, "Not all balances are right."
She said jokingly, "I also like fairness, but you don't give me this opportunity. How can I give you meritorious service if you withdraw from the city army?"
Yes, Zhan Changfeng handed in his resignation yesterday, and she only saw it today.
Zhan Changfeng did not pursue her unfinished words and softened his voice, "Give me a half discount on the tax."
"Um?"
"I opened a store on Mingyi Street. Do you want to come with me to have a look?"
"OK."
Ming 1st Street is in a remote area, close to the border of Beicheng. Behind it is a large swath of majestic undulating mountains. The wind blows, making the protective fence that has not yet been removed rustle.
It was said to be on Mingyi Street, but in fact it was already in the mountains. It was surrounded by tall trees and the environment was extremely quiet. Hua Jianci would be lying if she said she was not curious. However, Zhan Changfeng did not explain anything to her. He lifted a corner and smiled at her.
There was something meaningful about this smile, so Hua Jianci also laughed, "Are you trying to show off?"
She lowered her head and walked around. The tightly covered building jumped into sight, and the simple and heavy atmosphere greeted her. She was speechless, but she was inexplicably shocked in her heart.
