In the following days, Bailang deeply felt the radical changes in all aspects.
To sum it up in one sentence, it means that the bowl of rice in the knife shop has become even more difficult to serve. It shakes so much that if you are not careful, you may smash the bowl and cut your hand.
In fact, strictly speaking, the number of people who died in the riot that night was not too serious for the size of the entire Knife Hall, but many of those guarding Hemp Rope Lane were the backbone of the Knife Hall. For example, those who died Those red knives. As well as Tang Yan's injury in the end, this series can be called a big trouble.
The trouble comes from the fact that the root has been injured and will not recover for a while. What's more, the dangers around him are already eyeing him, and now he has attracted all kinds of covetous temptations.
Bailang's most direct feeling is that more and more people from the opposite knife shop have come to the venue recently, and the number of people who come to disrupt the situation with obvious skills has been several times higher than before. This made the table officials highly nervous every day, and their leader did not dare to leave at all. Now they have to stay in the venue for food and accommodation.
At noon, big meat noodle restaurant.
It’s still the small table at the back. Bai Lang and Zhou Dong were slurping the noodles in their bowls and eating large chunks of toppings. They each had a wine bowl in front of them. They took a few mouthfuls of noodles and a mouthful of wine. They ate with gusto and didn't even bother to talk.
"I'll treat you to this meal as a congratulation on your kid's survival." Zhou Dong drank the last mouthful of noodle soup, wiped a handful of oil on his mouth, picked up the wine bowl in front of him and touched it with Bailang beside him, and then the two People drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the wine bowl, Zhou Dong picked up the wine jar at his feet and filled it up with Bai Lang again. He smiled and said, "To be honest, I thought you were dead at first. But it turns out you didn't even have a scratch on your body. On the contrary, Several of those dog secret guards were slaughtered. You didn't have this ability when you were with me, right?"
"Hehe, Brother Dong, look at what you said, you and I didn't have the chance to kill at that time. Although we did improve a lot later on."
"Progress? Hehe, you are still the same in this regard, saying the most humble words and doing the most eye-catching things. If you go to the street and ask people now, not to mention the people in the knife shop, everyone on the street knows you Bai Lang. The reputation of Bai Tu, who likes to cut off people’s ears and tongues, etc. has become even more popular.”
"Ah? Bai Tu?! Who the hell came up with this?" Bai Lang was stunned at first, and then his face turned pale with anger. This nickname is too ugly.
"Don't like it? That's no choice. The people in the sword shop don't have much ink, so it would be good if they could fix this "white butcher" for you. Do you know what Mr. Liu's nickname used to be?"
"what is it call?"
"Call Crazy Tiger." Zhou Dong lowered his voice and twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he was suppressing a laugh.
"Ah? Poof!" Bailang was caught off guard and gushed out a mouthful of noodle soup. He put down his chopsticks with a look of horror and joy on his face. Indeed, compared to the nickname "Crazy Tiger", his "White Butcher" can be regarded as the opponent's ability to hold back.
Zhou Dong continued: "Actually, it's just a nickname, it's not a big deal. You are just worried that the nickname is too eye-catching and attention-grabbing. In the past, maybe what you said made sense. But now, be more crazy and fierce, In fact, there are no disadvantages, only advantages.
You must have felt the recent changes, right? Tell me, how is your Qianfang doing lately? "
"Qianfang is fine for the time being. Although there are several times more new faces, some of them are wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials who came for the big piano performance that will be held this month. The rest should be replaced by those from Lin Dao Hall. Most of them are pretending to be spies. There are also some sporadic thieves.
But these people are quite peaceful, and they won't stand up to some spies. Qianfang's attitude is tough, but they are soft. However, in the past few days, these people's courage has only increased. I guess tomorrow or the day after tomorrow there will be someone who is going to stir up trouble. "
Bai Lang didn't hide this from Zhou Dong. At the same time, murderous intent appeared on his face unconsciously.
Now everyone in Qianfang is ready to face trouble. The men who had died before had been replaced by those from the Hemp Rope Alley. They were all front-line killers, and their vicious auras were much more ferocious than those old fritters in Qianfang. And these people know where their opportunities lie. Different from the old youtiao, they came to block the killing. What they could rely on was the knife in their hands, and what they could listen to was Bailang, the new "butcher" Zhentang.
So even with the new manpower, Bailang's management will not be much more troublesome than before. Zhang Wu was there to teach some things that were necessary for walking in the hall, and the rest was mainly about practicing the combined attack technique.
Of course, no one thinks that combined attack is useless anymore. The original waist knives of Qianfang are now practicing desperately. They know that this thing can save their lives, otherwise they may die later.
People in the knife studio are basically not afraid of death, but no one wants to die.
"Hey, then who do you think will be the first to strike?"
"He must be from Lin Knife Hall."
Zhou Dong chuckled and said: "Based on my experience, this time I'm afraid it will be a chaotic battle. The only thing that won't be chaotic is that we are the only one being attacked. As for the Lin Knife Hall, they will come, but they won't The main force."
"Brother Dong, please elaborate." Bai Lang understood the meaning of Zhou Dong's words.
"Although Lin Dao Guan and we have deep grievances, in the final analysis they are still the forces under the City Lord's Mansion. Can the City Lord's Mansion allow one party to grow bigger? Balance is what those high officials want.
Therefore, as far as Lin Knife Hall is concerned, they will come to kill them, but they will never go too far. They are looking for benefits, not territory or status.
But for other forces who want to seek our territory and status, the opportunity is rare. They are the main threats we will face in the future. "
"Brother Dong, what do you mean?"
"Yuzhong, Yuzhong of the state capital!" A mysterious smile flashed across Zhou Dong's face that was completely inconsistent with his identity as a street wanderer. At the same time, he was absolutely confident in his words.
"Yuzhong? Brother Dong, you're not saying that Yuzhong will send people to join in the chaos, are you? This is Yongchuan City!" Bailang has limited knowledge in this area, and he does not agree with Zhou Dong's judgment.
Zhou Dong didn't take it seriously. Many things needed not only being reminded by others, but also needed to be experienced by oneself.
So Zhou Dong smiled and said: "You guys don't think that there is really a subordinate relationship between Yongchuan City and Yuzhong City, right? There is no dispute, right? Hehe, recently many people from the sword hall in Yuzhong have infiltrated openly or covertly. In the city, there are some settings to hide among some thieves. There are twists and turns in this, so you kid can’t take it lightly."
"Brother Dong, is it really so troublesome? The City Lord's Palace won't let it go, right?"
"Manage? There are many things that you can't just manage if you want to. Do you think Mr. Feng has no burden on him? If he is already overwhelmed by the burden, do you think he can still manage the following bad things? "
Bailang's heart tightened when he heard this. Zhou Dong's words made him realize that he seemed to have thought simply before.
