"The big man named [Xiao Zihao] we interrogated also mentioned that his boss was named... Lao Aotou." Yue Shenchen commented.
"Whether it is Lao Aotou... or Mu Xuehua, we have... ahem, I have never heard of it. Maybe he is indeed the small leader of their internal organization, and... ahem, there are also a lot of people, and his status should not be high, so he is not dangerous. Role."
Fu Yunge heard him speak intermittently and feebly. It seemed that his previous illness was not an act.
After listening to his words, Zui Chenxiang nodded slowly, indicating his agreement.
In fact, just now, Zui Chenxiang did not kill anyone. First, he was kind-hearted and did not want to kill easily. Second, he had been a knight for many years and had already developed eyes as sharp as an eagle. He could observe the actions of the two people. Get to know the details of the two people.
What he did in Chaoyun Street today may not only lead to death, but may also attract valuable help. And he just saw that these two people were definitely not a "killer", and reality proved that his judgment was not wrong.
The night is getting dark outside the window. The red candle on the table is getting shorter and shorter, and the candlelight is gradually fading.
Zui Chenxiang glanced at the night sky outside the window and felt sleepy. He had two fights today, and his limbs that had not been exercised for a long time were beginning to feel weak, and he had no intention of continuing to talk to them.
"It's getting late, it's time to go to bed." He yawned long and waved weakly to them, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. This place can be used as your base, but don't find too much for me. Trouble. Also, I can only sleep three people in my room."
"Oh... Kou Wufu and I can stay outside." Yue Shenchen said without any concern.
Kou Wufu had been drowsy just now. He is not interested in analysis and thinking at all. In his opinion, the way to deal with those mysterious organizations is very simple. Just beat one down when you encounter it. If you can still get up, beat him down again.
At this moment, he finally heard the order to adjourn the meeting. He immediately jumped up and stretched his stiff muscles before striding out the door, even leaving his companions behind.
"This..." Seeing Kou Wufu acting like this, Yue Shenchen could only smile apologetically at Zui Chenxiang. He lowered his head and coughed twice, then slowly followed out.
"Then it's just you two." Zui Chenxiang said calmly.
Dongfang Shiming chuckled and consciously turned to the cupboard in the inner room to find bedding. Zui Chenxiang picked up the bowl and went out to wash it, and Fu Yunge followed him out with the bowl.
"You are..." Zui Chenxiang finally paid attention to him, but his brows were hesitant. He didn't know who Fu Yunge was.
Fu Yunge quickly introduced himself: "Fu Yunge, a friend of Dongfang Shiming."
Zui Chenxiang nodded immediately, indicating that he had remembered it. But Fu Yunge felt a little discouraged when he saw that his attitude was obviously very perfunctory.
The moon is high in the sky, hanging high in the middle of the night. The red candle on the table burned out faintly, leaving behind a pool of lamp oil and soot.
As the candlelight faded, darkness and silence quickly enveloped the room. Fu Yunge lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Today was an eye-opener for him, but he was not very happy. Especially when he saw the moves of Yue Shenchen and Zui Chenxiang, those strange and powerful moves were completely beyond his knowledge. Coupled with Kou Wufu's extraordinary strength and Dongfang Shiming's wisdom, he even began to wonder whether he had wasted his time over the years...
In fact, it was not that Zuichenxiang didn't pay attention to him.
His behavior just now was all visible to Zui Chenxiang, and Zui Chenxiang also had a general understanding of his character. But the moment Zui Chenxiang saw him, he thought of someone in his heart.
It really looks like when he was young...
Zui Chenxiang closed his eyes and thought about it in his mind. I just don’t know how he is doing recently. If he could see this child, maybe he would like it very much.

"Well……"
Early in the morning, the sky had just turned white in the distance, and the morning light had not yet fully awakened. Most people were still immersed in sweet dreams. Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming were awakened by the banging on the door.
"Who is so wicked..." Fu Yunge rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up, his brows revealing deep resentment.
Dongfang Shiming listened carefully and frowned: "Probably... Kou Wufu and Yue Shenchen."
Fu Yunge looked at Zui Chenxiang, who was still snoring on the bed, with dark lines on his face: "Do you want to let them in? Senior is still resting."
Dongfang Shiming put on his clothes, rubbed his hands, stood up and said, "Go to the door and ask them to calm down for a while."
The two people quickly got dressed, quietly opened the door and walked out. When they got to the door, they carefully unlatched the door for them.
Kou Wufu, who had been at the door for a long time, knocked on the door. When he saw the door opened, he was about to rush in, but he was hurriedly stopped by Fu Yunge and Yue Shenchen in front of him and Yue Shenchen behind him.
Dongfang Shiming's face darkened and he said, "Senior Zuichenxiang is still resting, please keep your voice down and don't make any noise."
Kou Wufu was quite dissatisfied. He kept rubbing his hands which were red from the cold, and said with hot breath: "It's so cold this morning, I'm almost frozen to dryness. Let me go in to warm up first. Absolutely." Don’t wake him.”
The spring is cold and the weather is even colder in the early morning. Dongfang Shiming and Fu Yunge thought about it for a while and then agreed, turning sideways to let them in.
After Kowulf came in, he became much more honest. He stopped making any noise and even walked much more gracefully. The four people sat on the floor in the main room in a circle to ensure that they would not disturb Zui Chenxiang's sleep.
"What's wrong?" Dongfang Shiming tilted his head and asked Yue Shenchen.
Unexpectedly, Yue Shenchen fell into silence when Dongfang Shiming asked this question.
Dongfang Shiming was about to get confused when he saw a scowl on his sickly face, like an enraged fox.
"The reason is this..."
He spoke slowly: "Not far from Chaoyun Street, Buyuanfang... a similar provocation incident also happened yesterday..."
"But because the residents of Buyuanfang were united, they... ahem, they gathered all the young shopkeepers and workers in the neighborhood and drove the provocative men away from Buyuanfang..."
"...Hmm." Dongfang Shiming listened sternly.
Fu Yunge's expression became more and more serious as he listened.
Listening to what Yue Shenchen said, I'm afraid something bad will happen next. But he didn't dare to think about what it was. He hadn't figured out the details of those big men yet, so he couldn't guess their lower limit.
"But, the consequences happened..." Yue Shenchen sighed, pulling his throat and coughing heavily. "...Late night, Buyuanfang...is on fire!"
"What?" Fu Yunge was shocked.
"Buyuanfang has been mainly engaged in cotton and linen fabrics for a long time. They chose to retaliate with arson, which is not unkind." Dongfang Shiming thought deeply.
Yue Shenchen shook his head heavily: "It's more than that...cough! The losses to Buyuanfang are not just property! Cough!"
As he spoke, he became more and more agitated, suddenly breathed unevenly, and began to cough continuously.
"In other words, they... killed someone?" Fu Yunge was surprised.
Kou Wufu finally couldn't sit still. He couldn't bear his temper and continued to listen to Yue Shenchen's slow explanation. When he saw Yue Shenchen's problem recurred, he slapped the ground and said loudly: "It can't be that simple! Those bastards actually set fire to the residents of Buyuanfang while they were sleeping. What’s even more damning is…”
He swallowed and couldn't suppress his emotions: "They actually locked all the doors from the outside when the fire reached the people's roofs!!"
"What did you say!" Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming felt like they were electrocuted, their faces changed color, and they were horrified.
"Finally... there was a note posted at the door of the pillar gate of Buyuanfang... [Xiao Zihao]." Yue Shenchen calmed down and added gloomily.
Fu Yunge clenched his fists bitterly, his angry voice rolling back and forth in his throat: "These damn desperadoes."
Dongfang Shiming raised his head and asked, "How did you learn about it?"
Yue Shenchen let out a long breath, her expression solemn as if she had experienced a century. Said: "This morning, the boatman berthed the boat at the pier."
Dongfang Shiming nodded thoughtfully, with a trace of anger hidden between his gloomy brows.
"...It's really shameless."
With a heavy push of the door, Zui Chenxiang slowly walked out.
When the four of them saw that it was Zuichenxiang, they all stood up.
Zui Chenxiang waved his hand for them to sit down: "I have heard more or less what you just said."
"However, although these people should be killed, you must not rush to avenge the people."
Unexpectedly, Zui Chenxiang added lightly.
"Why? Those bastards..." Kou Wufu shouted excitedly.
"Okay." Zui Chenxiang interrupted him with a frown.
Seeing this, Yue Shenchen quickly winked at him, telling him to pay attention to his words and actions.
Zui Chenxiang said slowly: "The reason why the other party dares to be so unscrupulous is that he is in the dark. Every time a crime occurs, it is unexpected and elusive. This is called 'secret'."
"Now you and I haven't attracted much attention from them. Compared to them, we are also 'secret'."
"Being in the dark means that we have a preemptive advantage, and we also have this advantage now. Therefore, I want you to avoid confronting it head-on. The opponent's strength is not yet known. We wait for the opportunity to do it. After all, it is more secure."
Zui Chenxiang's slovenly appearance seems incompatible with his eloquent manner, but this is indeed true.
After listening to Zui Chenxiang's words, the excitement of the four people just subsided slightly, and they all agreed. Even Kou Wufu nodded heavily in agreement.
Because what Zui Chenxiang said is indeed correct. In the current situation, one careless move could lead to the whole game being lost, so they must act cautiously.
"Then, are we just going to stand still here?" Fu Yunge asked.
Zui Chenxiang shook his head: "No. I want you to go out and go to a crowded place."
Dongfang Shiming touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Are you trying to collect information about them?"
Zui Chenxiang glanced at him, then nodded slightly.
