New Year is coming soon.
There are still seventeen or eighteen days left.
There was a lot of excitement inside and outside Qianshan City.
The faces of ordinary wealthy families and poor people in outer cities were a little more excited.
Even if the food they can enjoy is limited.
On the contrary, the top leaders of the major forces, including elders, deputy gang leaders, young masters, etc., are not too concerned about the New Year.
What you usually want to use, play, and eat is just a matter of words.
It doesn’t get better just because it’s a new year.
On the contrary, as the New Year approaches, we often have to review the year and have many meetings to hold, which makes us extremely busy.
It is worth mentioning that every year for seven days before and after the New Year, major forces will "give porridge" to people in outer cities who cannot afford food.
Very thick porridge, one meal a day, one bowl per person. If you drink it without moving, you can almost stay hungry for half a day.
"Sir, the gang leader sent someone to inform you that you will attend a high-level meeting in the city in three days."
Liang Yu, who was sitting on the small bench, was washing Tang Wen's feet and talking, his eyes full of admiration.
Thinking that her son was a core figure among the city's top officials, she couldn't help but puff out her chest.
Normally, she, a little martial artist, would not be respected by others, but there were quite a few people who talked about her body.
What about now?
Which extraordinary or sixth-grade person in the city would not be polite to him when he saw him?
After cleaning up, Tang Wen lay on the bed waiting to serve.
His bedroom is a suite structure.
Divided into inner and outer rooms.
Liang Yu called three maids who were responsible for night duty to light candlesticks and stay outside.
They are responsible for serving tea and water at night and solving the problem of the master getting up at night.
The former is easy to understand.
The latter is a service.
An hour passed.
The clouds and rain have begun to subside.
"Young master, this slave is also planning to go into seclusion." Liang Yu looked at Tang Wen with a blush on her face.
"Okay." Tang Wen stretched out his hand to play with the snow-white pear and said with a smile, "The marrow-protecting potion has been prepared for you."
As the son of the Blackwater Gang and the elder of the White Tiger Tribe, Tang Wen can now receive three marrow-protecting potions every month.
Unlike other high-level officials, there were dozens or hundreds of martial arts subordinates vying for the marrow-protecting potion.
Tang Wen couldn't even give it away.
There is no one under my hand at all.
I have saved up all the marrow-protecting potions.
"Thank you, sir."
"Just say it with your mouth?"
"Uh-huh," Liang Yu said with raised eyebrows.
Tang Wen's brows immediately showed a contented look.
The next day, before dawn, Tang Wen arrived at the camp where Bai Ningbing and others were detained.
However, instead of seeing his subordinates Li Zi and Liu Bing, he found Shi Lei.
"Did any awakened people go missing in the mountain city last year?" Near the dusty mine, Shi Lei looked at Tang Wen in confusion and repeated his question.
"Very important?"
Tang Wen nodded, picked up a glass of beer, touched it with him, and continued to provide information:
"What is awakened is a rare ability, similar to an invisible hand."
"When you said that, I seem to have an impression." He called the red queen bee, gave a few instructions, and the hummingbird flew away.
Last year, Tang Wen represented the Flame Camp and played against the Black Mountain Camp. His opponent was such an "awakened one".
It is said that this awakened person comes from Ganshan City.
Their tracking method at that time was also hummingbird.
Now that Tang Wen wants to cause trouble in the Black Mountain camp, of course he must find out as much as possible whether there is anyone behind them.
After half a day passed, the hummingbird flew back from the direction of the mountain city.
Bring back the news about Tang Wenyao.
"Oh! It's an illegitimate son of the Huang family. He's missing." Because Juyan Martial Arts School keeps hummingbirds, the information channels are very complete.
"What?" Tang Wen frowned, illegitimate child?
Are there any illegitimate children in the Huang family?
In the mountain city where prostitutes were taken home to be concubines when they were pregnant, where did the illegitimate child come from?
Shi Lei explained: "There is a daughter in the Huang family who hired a son-in-law. This son-in-law was dishonest when he entered the house and left a lot of seeds outside. His surname is not Huang, so he can only be raised outside. Unfortunately, there is not enough supply for cultivation. resources, once these children gain some strength, they will have to support themselves.”
After Tang Wen heard this, he took the note in his hand, read it, and asked: "Apart from you, does anyone else raise hummingbirds?"
"Of course there are, and there are many of them. But there are fewer mutant hummingbirds, and extraordinary hummingbirds are exclusive to us!"
Shi Lei looked very confident.
He did not ask Tang Wen why he inquired about this person: "We have already formed a relationship with the Huang family. Do you have any plans next?"
Tang Wen shook his head: "There is no such thing as Liang Zi. We and the Huang family are good friends and we are in the same city, so there is no such thing as Liang Zi!"
Shi Lei was stunned and immediately gave a thumbs up: "You're really capable of big things!"
"I suspect you are scolding me."
"Hey! Let you hear it!"
Tang Wen told Shi Lei that he would be going out for a while in a few days and had a meal together. Tang Wen returned to Ganshan City before dark.
I have to attend a city-wide high-level meeting in two days.
He didn't take it to heart and turned around to go to the Tibetan Gong Pavilion next to the Gravity Chamber to learn the visualization diagrams that he had not learned before.
For example, the secret of darkness—Eternal Night.
In just three minutes, he mastered the essence of this style.
The night passed.
Tang Wen re-trained every move of the Dark Night Divine Fist, including the Shadow Nether Step, several times.
The understanding of this boxing method is more profound.
For example, [The Seventh Form of the Dark Night God’s Fist—Soaring Sky Shock]
Originally, he could only punch eight times the amount of shock.
This night, I kept trying again and again and reached a breakthrough of ten times.
It should be noted that this is not a simple addition, nor is it a ten-fold shock punch, which is equivalent to the damage of ten consecutive punches.
But an enemy who cannot be killed by ten, twenty, or even hundreds of punches may not be able to withstand a ten-fold shock punch!
The unique terrifying shock of the Shock Fist is like a blunt instrument, capable of shattering a person's entire body's bones!
With his peak understanding, he re-understood the Dark Night Divine Fist.
As expected, boxing advanced.
[Visual Martial Arts, Dark Night Divine Fist, Master → Expert (7/12000)]
Countless joint techniques, self-taught without a teacher.
After hitting the Dark Night God Fist again, it seemed to be different from before.
The "Black Mountain King" he is about to deal with is at least a senior level six.
Tang Wen was not afraid of the enemy now, considering him to be a peak six-level opponent like Huang Shiqilang.
On Defense, [Visual Martial Arts, Golden Jade Demonic Body (Four Skills in One), Mastery (10/18000)]
The mastery level gold and jade demonic body is several times stronger than before.
In terms of speed, his instant step ability is already at an expert level.
In terms of attack, there are Tenfold Shock Fist, Dark Mystery, Dao Gang, and the Visual Sword Technique - One Line of Sky.
In the early morning of this day, he left the customs with satisfaction and went to the meeting.
A city-wide high-level meeting was held in the inner city.
Tang Wen arrived with Hu Qi and Hu Li.
Today's meeting venue is at Chen's house.
Tang Wen had no interest in the business summaries and affairs discussions of the major families. He just sat on the chair and drank tea in his leisure time.
Hu Li listened with her ears open, her expression very serious, and she didn't know if she could understand.
Hu Qi also occupied a seat, eating roast chicken and drinking wine.
The city of Qianshan has been stable for a long time, and discussions are always the same.
Although there were changes in the White Tiger tribe this year.
However, the division of the major forces was the same as in previous years. Each family talked for half an hour. The sun rose to the sky, and the business was finished.
Everyone sat in silence, glancing at Tang Wen intentionally or unintentionally.
It seems that I want him to speak.
Tang Wen didn't seem to notice. He stretched out his hand to pet the fifth-grade white cat, with a leisurely expression as if he was here to bask in the sun.
"Ahem!" Huang San couldn't help it anymore: "Mr. Tang, I wonder when everyone from the White Tiger Tribe will go underground to guard?"
Uh-huh!
Hu Qi raised his head and looked at the other party with his eyes as bright as lightning: What do you mean? Why go to the underground to guard? Can we still eat chicken every day?
Huang San didn't dare to look at him and just looked at Tang Wen.
"Don't worry, everyone hasn't sent the underground information yet. After it is sent, I will discuss it with the White Tiger tribe and see how to garrison it." Tang Wen said with a smile on his face.
Huang San snorted in his heart: "The information will be sent to the house today. I hope Mr. Tang can arrange it as soon as possible and don't keep us waiting!"
"Easy to say, easy to say." Tang Wen said with a smile.
As for whether you will wait or not, that is not your decision.
Besides, how long does it take?
The people from the White Tiger Tribe are fifth-grade masters. It takes three to five months for a fifth-grade master to be in seclusion?
So is waiting three to five months a long time?
Tang Wen doesn't think it counts.
It seems that the Huang family is still restless!
Do you simply want to use the power of the White Tiger Tribe to suppress the underground, or do you have other plans?
After the meeting, Tang Wen returned to the gang and expressed his thoughts.
The core members of the Blackwater Gang are also in a dilemma.
They are most closely bound to the White Tiger Tribe.
It would be best if these ten fifth-grade masters did not enter the caves to guard them. After all, they were in the city and could obey Tang Wen's orders at any time, which was like having ten more fifth-grade masters in the Blackwater Gang.
If you enter the cave and the Blackwater Gang needs someone, where can you find them?
Although they were stationed in turns, half of them went down at a time. But the White Tiger tribe is united. If some people go down to suppress the demon, the others above will also be worried.
It is equivalent to the responsibility of guarding the underground, restraining ten fifth-level members of the White Tiger tribe.
But it wouldn’t make sense if we didn’t go into the cave.
After all, the White Tiger Tribe took away 10% of the total harvest from Ganshan City, and the condition they made was to send people to guard the Demon Cave.
If they don't go to guard the underground, the faces of the major forces will look bad.
Tang Wen ignored this and asked, "Are the Huang family willing?"
Shui Qianjun looked at his proud disciple: "If it were you, would you be willing to do it? Originally, I was the Supreme Emperor of the Mountain City, but once the situation changes, I will have to give 20% of the harvest as an offering in the future, depending on people's faces. Are you willing?"
Tang Wen smiled: "You don't need evidence for this kind of thing, right?"
All the core members of the Blackwater Gang present smiled knowingly at the same time.
Shui Yun held her junior brother's hand: "Of course not."
Tang Wen nodded: As long as I suspect that the Huang family has a problem, they have a problem.
But this cannot be done forcefully.
The Huang family doesn't dare to make any moves in the near future.
Two of their fifth-grade men died recently, and when the news comes back, they will have a headache.
"Senior sister, I have to go out for a trip." After the small meeting, Tang Wen and Shui Yun were last.
"How long will it take?" Shui Yunsu arranged his collar with her hands.
"Uh, ten or twenty days?"
"Wouldn't that mean we can't catch up with the New Year? Is it the Bai family's business?"
Tang Wen didn't hide anything: "It happened at my previous camp."
"Oh?" Shui Yun was a little curious, but relieved.
She heard Tang Wen say that the most powerful person in the previous camp was a sixth-grade master. There should be no danger for the junior brother during this trip.
There is only one sixth-grade force, not to mention not as good as the Blackwater Gang, or even inferior to the large mining camp under the Blackwater Gang.
"There is a camp next door. I'll go and destroy it for him, so I won't have to worry about it in the future." Tang Wenyan said concisely and to the point.
Shui Yun nodded: "If your original camp is willing, you can also move to live near Ganshan City."
"I'm afraid I'm too wild and won't want to come."
The two talked for a while.
Shui Yun returned to underground retreat.
Tang Wen took Hu Qi to the city slowly, walked on the bustling streets, scattered gold and silver, and moved all the things he liked back home.
Of course, he doesn't have to do this kind of rough work himself, and it's not easy to use empty stones in public.
Nowadays, almost everyone in the city doesn't recognize his face.
When he bought something, the merchant delivered it to his house.
At Tang Wen's house.
Seeing the carts of goods being transported through the door, the housekeeper was surprised: "How come you have time to go shopping?"
No one answered.
Until it got dark and Tang Wen came back.
The things he bought as if they were shopping have been packed into wooden boxes by categories by the housekeeper Shui Mo and several maids.
Shui Mo stepped forward to hold his hand and asked curiously: "Sir, you bought rouge and gouache. Forgetting your daughter's clothes, hairpins, and shoes, why do you still have so much candy?"
Following her finger, there was a separate box containing various candies.
A row of golden candy figures, several boxes of snow-white toffee, red and green fructose...
Not only the housekeeper Shui Mo was curious, but Liang Yu and all the female guards were also curious.
Young Master doesn’t usually like sweets, so why did you buy so much candy today?
Tang Wen touched his nose and his eyebrows softened: "I don't think I told you that I have a sister named Tang Tang, but she has lived for more than ten years and has never eaten candy."
Tangtang, her parents gave her this name back then, probably hoping that she would live a sweeter life in the future.
The two concubines opened their eyes wide:
"Young Master also has a sister?"
"Why have I never heard you mention it?"
When Tang Wen mentioned his little sister's name, an impulse suddenly surged in his heart. He wanted to go back to the camp immediately and see his sister!
Without saying much, he loaded the wooden boxes in front of him into the empty stones one by one.
Finally, stack the box full of candies on top.
Everything last night, he clapped his hands and couldn't help but look to the north.
Thousands of miles away in the Northland.
Dots of snow particles are floating in the air.
There is no beauty of snowflakes, just like tiny grains of rice.
"It's snowing!"
Someone yelled, and then the door opened, the window opened, and the dog barked.
Then the entire flame camp burst into joy.
Although the snow grains are small, they are still real snow.
Is the year of drought finally coming to an end?
Regardless of whether the knot is over or not, we can’t stop everyone’s excitement of cheering and running wildly despite the cold!
In the small courtyard, the thin girl danced for a while with the maids at home, and happily pushed out the cart with the words "Tang's Roujiamo" on it.
The aroma of scones filled the yard.
There were clear footsteps outside the door.
"Sister Bing? Is it Sister Bing who's back? You're finally out of seclusion!" The girl jumped over to greet her.
"Yeah, I'm out of seclusion! I've caught up."
A tall woman with slender legs walked into the courtyard.
The two women held hands and laughed for a while, then looked south together...
