Xingcheng is a prosperous city where rich people can eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow in extreme luxury, while poor people can be too poor and hungry to eat enough.
It is also a large military city with a large number of troops. Today, it is still the most important northern town in Yongchang County, a land on three sides.
So here, there is a heavily guarded military garrison, which is a restricted area that no one except the military can enter. There are high-walled compounds in the wealthy areas. Every household is guarded and the city guards patrol the streets day and night. It is safe. There are also civilian areas where servants and guards live, as well as nooks and crannies where refugees are infested and evil people are rampant.
In those slums with shacks next to each other in the corners of the city walls, in those desolate places with deep dirt streets, those dilapidated pavilions and wild temples, those dirty and smelly garbage dumps, I don’t know how many lives have been tolerated in the past and now, And in the future, live like cockroaches.
But even such a stinking ditch-like place that a wealthy family would never stop and take a look at is actually divided into three, six, and nine grades.
For example, in the core of the slums in the southeast of Xingcheng, there is such a courtyard. It has gray walls, gray tiles, and mud walls. Inside, there are thick trees and flowers in bloom. It is not only deep, but also quite elegant. The entrance hall and the main house are also paved. The finely broken stones will not easily stain your shoes and socks during the rainy season. It is a very rare clean place in this area.
But unlike the surrounding areas, which were crowded with people even though they were dirty and small, not many people lived in this courtyard, because this was the home of Boss Niu, the talker of the underground world of this slum.
Boss Niu is a tall and thick man covered in scars. Although he is not very old, he is a rare warrior outside the military who possesses the power of dragon and elephant in the three realms.
With this kind of skill, it stands to reason that as a guard leader for any wealthy family, he can settle down in a better area of Xingcheng and live a comfortable life, but he just likes to hang out in the slums.
As time goes by, the slums also have the rules of the slums, the rules of Boss Niu.
In the afternoon of this day, it was rare to find peace in the slums, because usually at this time, Boss Niu would always take a group of his men around to search for interesting things.
But there has been something strange in recent months. Boss Niu seemed to have suddenly lost interest in patrolling the territory. Therefore, his men were happy to have some leisure time, because in this slum there was a rule that the head should be sacrificed regularly, and every day It is really difficult to collect anything good from those poor ghosts with such a patrol, not to mention that although it is late summer, it is still a bit hot after all.
When night fell and the summer heat gradually subsided, the slum became a little more lively, and several uninvited guests were welcomed outside Boss Niu's house.
Wearing black night clothes, these people sneaked close to the remote courtyard wall in the corner of the house. After making some gestures to each other, they climbed over the wall and entered. Each of them was very skilled.
After they entered the house, they still hid in the shadows and waited for a long time, then lined up in a line and walked along the wall towards the inner house.
Going all the way deep, it was like entering a deserted place, and it was surprisingly smooth.
Arriving at the edge of the inner house, the leader hesitated a little. After exchanging a few glances with the people behind him, he rushed in ruthlessly.
There are rooms on all sides of the inner house, and there are five or six rooms in a row facing the main room in the north. All of them are darkly lit. Without any hesitation, a few people silently pulled out their long swords and rushed straight to one of the rooms!
The leader grasped the handle of the knife tightly and rushed to the central room. He raised his foot and was about to kick the door. But before his foot could land on the door, he was knocked out by a huge force that came from nowhere. !
He vomited a mouthful of blood while he was still in the air. After landing hard, he felt his chest was heavy, as if a huge boulder was blocked, making it impossible to move up or down. For a while, he couldn't even speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw several figures flying down one by one. Just as he fell heavily to the ground, the hearts of those who came with him sank to the bottom!
Then, the lights came on in the inner house, especially the room in the center. The lights were as bright as the bright moon, illuminating the inner house in a vast whiteness.
Only then did the leading man in black feel a sweetness in his throat. He opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood. He looked up at the people coming against the light and said quickly, "Boss Niu, are you okay?!"
He straightened up and explained quickly, "In recent months, there have been a lot of rumors in the gang, saying that Boss Niu, you were kidnapped and you couldn't help yourself. After hearing this, your subordinates couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep at night, so they took a few brothers with them late at night. Come and check it out, thinking that if this happens, I can rescue you..."
His eyes widened as he spoke, and his voice gradually dropped to the point where he couldn't utter a single word.
Because he didn't recognize any of the people who came out of the central room of the inner house!
He quickly glanced around, and everyone who came out of other rooms in the inner house was also unfamiliar to him! !
"You are...Boss Niu's..." An idea flashed in his mind, and then he quickly got up and knelt down, pressing his head deeply to the ground, and his whole body could not help but tremble. , "The little one didn't see anything, the little one didn't see anything..."
The remaining people were already knocked to pieces after being hit, and their minds were not clear. Just when they were about to get up, they saw the leader acting like this. They dared not say anything. They got up one by one with great effort and knelt on the ground. , dare not look up.
Then, an old, deep and somewhat hoarse voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Boss Niu is recuperating in the house. Who are you coming to...save?!"
When the few people who followed heard that the voice was extremely strange, not to mention that it was still a man, they became even more silent and did not dare to breathe.
The leader of the group put his head on the ground, cold sweat dripping down his hair. His mind was spinning with thoughts, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "In the days when Boss Niu is away, rumors are spreading in the gang, and there is a split in the gang." The crisis is so great that my subordinates came here late at night and wanted to see Boss Niu with their own eyes. Now, since you said that Boss Niu is still recuperating, the subordinates and others dare not disturb him and just retreat... I don’t know if it’s possible. .....?"
There was silence in the inner house. After a long time, the people kneeling on the ground could not help but tremble and cough. Seeing that even the strength to kneel on the ground was almost gone, the old voice sounded again, "Just retreat... ..can the rumors within the gang be put to rest?!”
The leader was startled, and then said, "My subordinates will go and explain to everyone in the gang that they have seen Boss Niu with their own eyes. He just accidentally caught the cold and needs to recuperate. There is no need to panic..."
The old voice said slowly, "How could Feng Han need to recuperate for such a long time? If he dies... he will die..."
Hearing this, not only the leader was shocked, but also several other people couldn't help but look up. They only saw mysterious people wearing black tights in the inner courtyard. They couldn't help but be horrified and hurriedly kowtowed. Get started.
The leader didn't even raise his head. When several people around him started begging for mercy, he said loudly, "Sir!"
The other people's voices were immediately suppressed.
The leader didn't dare to raise his head, "Boss Niu is dead, is the Qingniu Gang still of some use?!" Before the old man could reply, he quickly continued, "If the Qingniu Gang is still of some use, please keep me here." A person’s life is like a dog’s life, but we can replace Boss Niu to take charge of the Green Bull Gang, show our face for you, and die without regrets!!”
