Li Fengyao was right. After learning that she had returned to the world, the whole world was shaken. Within a few days, Zhu Mingyu received a letter from Bai Shuyu, asking them to stay in Yangzhou temporarily and keep an eye on Li Fengyao.
This woman is so uncontrollable, no one knows what she will do next that will make people's heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys tremble.
However, Zhu Mingyu and others didn't have any complaints. After all, Yangzhou was such a nice place and they didn't lack money, so it was a good time to visit. Speaking of Li Fengyao, she didn't do much after she took back the Li house. She stayed in the Li house all day and never went out.
After the death of Chen Donglai of the Blackwater Gang, one of the largest gangs in the south of the Yangtze River was disbanded. After seeing the ruthlessness of "Li Fenglan", no one even came to seek revenge. Although it seemed peaceful, Zhu Mingyu knew that it was only on the surface. Secretly, there were many people who planned to come and skin them and cramp them.
Therefore, Zhu Mingyu told him not to go out alone during this period, and to come back quickly if he encountered someone looking for trouble.
They originally thought that after this matter was over, they would send the three Liu Dun brothers and sisters away. Who would have thought that Li Fengyao and Li Yuzhuo both appeared, and things suddenly became complicated. They could not let the three people go because of both emotion and reason. In a sense, the three of them are already tied to Li Fenglan's ship of revenge.
But it was pretty good. Zhu Mingyu took Amber to visit the mountains and rivers every day, and he was a little too happy to miss Shu.
…
Luzhou, Yeyu Xiaozhu.
Chen Zijue looked at the information on the table in front of him, and there were some things he couldn't understand. ap.
At the other end of the table, Chi Junqing kept talking: "That's about it, everything that can be withdrawn by manpower has been withdrawn. The Thorns Sect has been recruiting manpower since the New Year, and it has not stopped until now. The entire Thorns Sect has an unprecedented number of people. . You estimate that the campaign against us launched in March has not been carried out. It is almost May, and I think the first half of the year should be uneventful."
Chen Zijue whispered: "The reason why March did not come is because we picked up her sweetheart. Li Fenglan was not sure of his identity and did not dare to attack rashly. To do big things, there is also the love between children. This is Her weakness...Second Young Master, have you read all these reports?"
Chi Junqing nodded: "I've seen it."
"Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, Li Fenglan went on a killing spree in Yangzhou and slaughtered more than forty people by himself. This is impossible. According to the information we got, Li Fenglan probably doesn't know martial arts. The guy in Yangzhou is either the little lion or the cold-faced fairy."
Chen Zijue took a deep breath and asked, "So, where is she?"
"Maybe he's still in Luoyang."
Chen Zijue shook his head and rummaged through the reports on a table. While rummaging through them, he said: "Bringing him to Xiaozhu can only slow down their offensive, but it is impossible to stop their thoughts. Li Fenglan doesn't seem to be sitting back and waiting for death. Not even Bai Shuyu, they must be doing something in secret. What needs her to do in secret, leaving behind her little sister who is so capable of fighting? "
"Aren't she two little sisters?"
"One of them was seriously poisoned and has not fully recovered yet. The one in Yangzhou is a little lion. She cherishes the people around her very much and would not let the other one be in danger. She should be alone now, or... The people are not the same group as before... Jin Caishen must have said something to her in Chang'an. If it was revealed, then she could only go to one place."
With that said, Chen Zijue clicked on the map: "Jiujiang."
"Jiujiang?" Chi Junqing frowned, "It's very close to Raozhou."
Chen Zijue's index finger kept tapping the table. He had this habit when he was nervous. However, in so many years, Chi Junqing had never seen Chen Zijue knocking on the table.
He suddenly straightened up and said to Chi Junqing: "Second Young Master, I will go down to see the big leader, and then I may have to go out of the courtyard. There is something I wanted to teach you slowly, but I don't have enough time right now. Just put it bluntly, how much you can understand depends on your ability."
"Mr. Chen, please speak."
Chen Zijue's expression became extremely serious, something Chi Junqing had never seen before.
He opened his mouth and slowly uttered two words: "An Fen."
The corners of Chi Junqing's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
Then he smiled and cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your advice. I will think about it carefully."
Chen Zijue straightened his clothes and said, "I'm not in Xiaozhu these days, so I'll leave the daily care to the Second Young Master."
"Don't worry, sir, I will take care of it."
…
A small house in Luzhou has been abandoned for many years. Because of its remote location, no one was willing to buy it, so it remained empty.
Chen Zijue entered the house alone. To his surprise, when he entered, he found someone else in the yard, opening the lid of the well.
"Chief Shuofeng?" Chen Zijue asked, "Are you looking for the big leader?"
"Hey, Mr. Chen?" Shuo Feng said with a smile, "Yes, let's talk to him about something. Just in time, let's go together."
The two of them went down from the well together. There was no water under the well, but a secret passage. After walking around the secret passage under the well for half an hour, we finally stopped in front of an extremely open underground palace.
The underground palace was as dark as ever, with only two or three oil lamps barely emitting light. In the center of the underground palace, the burly man was sitting there as always, seemingly never changing his position.
"It's strange," the burly man whispered, "that you two came together."
Chen Zijue smiled and said, "I happened to meet him outside."
Shuo Feng calmly found a chair and sat down, saying, "Mr. Chen, let's talk about your business first."
Chen Zijue nodded and said to the big leader: "The big leader, Li Fenglan, is in Jiujiang."
The big leader fell silent, and the entire space fell into dead silence.
After most of the day, the big leader asked: "For what?"
"I think... it should be Xu Zhenbiao."
"That's it?"
"Not sure."
In the darkness, the burly man held his forehead, but his eyes were unexpectedly bright and terrifying.
"She knows?"
"Not sure either."
"Zijue, what do you think we should do?"
"I'll go there myself. However, big boss, if you finish this move, you will always be one step behind her."
"how do I say this?"
"I have to take action against Li Fenglan, but I won't be able to kill her, and I won't be able to kill her. But as long as I take action, she will probably notice it. But I don't know what her purpose is, so I can't leave it alone. This move is bound to lose."
"Xiao Zhu can't afford to lose. Zi Jue, I'll leave this matter to you."
"My subordinate understands."
After Chen Zijue finished speaking, he bowed to the two of them, turned around and left the underground palace.
There was another long silence. When Chen Zijue was far enough away, the leader asked, "Shuofeng, what can I do for you?"
Shuofeng smiled and said, "It has been ten years and four months, and I have given you four months for free."
The big leader was silent for a long time: "Yeah, ten years, it's so fast... Have you decided to leave today?"
"I wanted to tell you years ago, but I just couldn't."
"Now that you leave, we, Xiaozhu, will be in a bit of a position to lose."
Shuo Feng stretched out: "I'm not a Moji person. If I have something to say, I'll say it directly... Over the years, although I've helped you do things, I haven't done a very good job. I often do things based on my own temper. You You didn’t blame me either.”
"You are different from them."
"That's true... I'm still not used to it. I haven't gotten used to it after ten years of work. Uncle Master, you said that if you had used the money to restore the sect, you wouldn't have been tied to this position for so many years. Now I can't see my aunt. , my sons can’t even see each other, what are you trying to do?”
"One step is wrong, every step is wrong. I am not a saint, how could I have thought of so many things."
The always majestic leader's voice suddenly became much older, and his words lost the domineering tone of the past.
Shuo Feng sighed: "The sect's revenge has long been avenged. You should have let go immediately after taking revenge."
"There are too many involved, and it can't be settled just by thinking about it."
"The result is getting deeper and deeper, at this age
, and I have to compete with a few little girls from Changfeng Tower... I had no intention of leaving. I was thinking of hanging out with you for the rest of my life, and I had no hope of joining the sect. However, I was not willing to fight with Mo Changfeng after the year. "
"If you keep improving your martial arts in the past ten years, you might be able to defeat Mo Changfeng."
"Not necessarily, but there is always a chance, at least on par with that sword fairy, right?"
The big leader picked up something and threw it to Shuo Feng. Shuo Feng caught it and found a jar of wine.
"You haven't drank since you arrived at Xiaozhu. I remember that you used to love drinking. You became a drunkard at the age of fifteen or sixteen."
"Hehe," Shuo Feng smiled shyly, "Drinking will cause trouble... If I hadn't been drunk at that time, maybe I could have saved two more people."
As Shuo Feng spoke, he had already opened the sealing mud, and for a moment, the aroma of wine overflowed in the underground palace.
"Fenjiu? Master, are you willing to give me this drink?"
"Drink it. I don't have much left here. I still have two jars left. I want to drink it when my sons get married."
Shuo Feng took a big sip of wine, burped happily, and said with emotion: "I haven't drank for ten years, and I thought I really quit."
After drinking less than half the jar of wine, Shuo Feng put down the jar and said earnestly: "Actually, there is another reason why I left."
"tell me the story."
"I have found a good seedling, with good muscles, bones, and understanding. I have figured out that restoring the sect is not something that happens overnight, nor can it be solved with money alone. At the very least, this skill must be passed on. That is. I wonder if people are willing to learn from me.”
"You've been in Xiaozhu for so long and you've looked for so many people, but no one satisfies you?"
Shuofeng shook his head: "There's not one...Uncle, it's getting late, I have to leave."
"Go ahead. If you want to come back, Xiaozhu welcomes you at any time."
"Hehe, if I get into trouble then, I'll have to come to your place for food."
After Shuofeng finished speaking, he stood up and knelt down on the ground.
"Uncle, I'm leaving now. You are getting old, so take care of your health."
"I understand, you...slow down on the road."
"yes."
There was only one person left in the underground palace. It was empty. The burly man seemed to have become dwarfed, and there was an unspeakable feeling of loneliness.
