Since ancient times, there have been rich and poor, even in Chang'an City, where the lights are bright and green, and the night is singing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Except for a few advantageous streets near the direct gate of Chang'an City, the closer you get to the edge of this towering capital, the more these ordinary civilians remain.

Some foreign caravans or people who want to save money on accommodation will choose to live in the fringe areas. One is cheap, and the other is clean. As a result, this area has gradually become a slum area that has been gradually neglected by people in the capital.

These two unattractive young men came to such an alley.

Passers-by A, B, and C who came together also silently turned around and entered the unknown store.

The surroundings are getting quieter and quieter, and only a few dozen families live on both sides of this alley, and like other places, they have built two-story buildings that have gone through countless dynasties and generations, some operating inns and others small restaurants.

Except for the occasional sound of barking dogs and clothes in the streets, the footsteps of people are barely audible.

The two of them continued to walk forward and came to a small restaurant in the middle.

This humble shop, like the other outlets at the entrance of the alley, has a crooked plaque that reads 'Hexiang Restaurant'. After years of wind and rain, the sun and the moon have long faded the original paint color, but the business is very good.

The shopkeeper is an elderly man, about fifty or sixty years old, the old man is cutting fish and tofu in the kitchen, his body is facing away from the gate: "What do you want young man?" He is holding a knife and cutting the fish tofu in his hand.

The shop in this alley is said to have a long history. I'm afraid it's a lot older than my uncle's age.

"Uncle, half a catty of fish tofu, don't cut the flowers, we'll eat upstairs." The two said in the accent of the capital.

"Well, okay. The old man's white beard opened and closed, revealing a gap in the middle, and he didn't talk much on weekdays.

Don't look at this alley is poor.

But there are many strange people.

The two of them went up to the second floor, and the stairs swayed and creaked.

Upstairs, there was a commotion, and dozens of men all stood up with serious faces.

These people have dark skin, bright eyes, and a tiger's back, copper tendons, and iron bones. All of them were wearing half-walled vests, and their chests were open, revealing the wheat-colored bulging muscles inside. On the ground, there are baskets and bamboo poles, which are full of bamboo poles of sugar people.

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, they put down their swords and sat down again.

There was an empty table in the middle, and only a sturdy man sat with short hair shaved on his head, and the red turban he had untied was placed on the table, and a pair of amber eyes stared at the two of them, and his body exuded a quiet and compelling coercion, which made people look in awe.

The two people who came up walked straight to the others and sat down, and said calmly, "They hung Ah Hua on the city gate. ”

When several people heard this, their faces showed a deep hatred, but they were helpless.

The sturdy short-haired man in the middle nodded heavily, glanced at the tall and thin man selling candy on the opposite side and said, "Fortunately, this time it was timely, otherwise it would have been a big deal." ”

The man who had brought water to Lu Chuan earlier said, "There is one more thing, Empress Dowager Zhang invited Lord Jiang and Hou Ye and his wife to the palace. Before leaving, Master Jiang said...... Empress Dowager Zhang was preparing to hold them hostage. He seemed to mean something. Could it be that there is still the power of Master Jiang in the crowd today?"

Oh? Is that so?

This Jiang-sama is also very interesting.

The short-haired man at the head looked at the two and said, "Jiang Shaoqing is an eclectic person, and what he said is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood...... I don't know how Empress Dowager Zhang will feel when she hears his words. ”

The candy seller smiled: "I'm afraid they will really have to be imprisoned." Master Jiang plucked the feathers on the tiger's buttocks, and he was very bold. The crowd laughed again.

The man who was serving the water looked out the window cautiously and said in a low voice: "We have been with her for so many years, but I don't know when the Hou Ye will learn martial arts, do you think this Hou Ye will be..."

The short-haired man glanced at him with a serious expression, and the man swallowed back the second half of his sentence, and changed his voice and said, "Do you want to send someone to the palace to have a look?"

"Not necessarily. He bowed his head and took a sip of the rough tea ceremony.

"Then what should we do next?" Zhang Haidong came in vain, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the short-haired man.

The short-haired man's eyes narrowed slightly, made a look of deep thought, was silent for a long time, drank the tea in the bowl, and said, "Without instructions, we can't act rashly!"

The surrounding men were anxious, and they got up unwillingly and said, "Big brother! But there's no such shop!"

The short-haired man slapped the table, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and he said in a low voice: "Don't make any noise, do you also want to be like Huazi?" Don't look at the Empress Dowager Zhang, there is no movement, maybe...... She has already dug a pit for us in the palace, just waiting for us to jump in!"

"Therefore, before Lord Zheng arrives in Beijing, no one is allowed to act rashly!"

He stretched out his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and looked into the distance outside the window with a pair of eyes calmly: "Ah Hua's identity has not been clarified, she will definitely not give up, so you are all optimistic about the people under your hands, don't make any more trouble for me, otherwise you don't have to be cleaned up by Empress Dowager Zhang, and you will be cut off yourself!"

No one spoke again.

The old man downstairs continued to cut the tofu flowers, and although he was old, the movements in his hands were very neat. At this moment, hundreds of guards suddenly came to the alley.

"Come out, come out!" said the lieutenant, riding on a big horse, striking a gong in his hand and shouting loudly into the alley.

The man looked down at his feet: "It's over here!"

Oh no, there's someone outside!

Several brothers stood up in unison. Their eyes looked at the two men who had just returned, and questioned, "Why did they come back here?"

The short-haired man in the lead suddenly burst out of his gaze with a murderous intent, his expression tense, and swept over the two people.

Touching the bloodthirsty eyes of the leader, the slightly older man had a hint of dodge on his face. When walking on the road, he deliberately stepped on a pile of white powder, although the pair of white powder did not make the footprints clear, but it was possible to introduce the alley.

The short-haired man quietly took out two chopsticks from the table, put them in his hand and sharpened them with a knife.

His voice was gloomy: "Say it." ”

"Don't you say yes?"

Whoosh -

The sound of bamboo chopsticks in his hand exuded a terrifying internal force, shooting like a sword towards the man who had previously brought water to Lu Chuan.

The man stood still, his pupils dilated.

"Smack!"

Another sharpened bamboo chopstick pierced it and turned around, stabbing into the neck of another man standing beside him with a pop.

One move is deadly.

The search outside continues.

Soon, the old man downstairs was interrupted by the captain, looked at his empty hall and asked, "Are there any strange people in your shop?"

The old man looked up and looked at the street, where the previous houses had already been searched, and several poor scholars dressed as scholars from other towns were thrown onto the street, trembling and unknown by the soldiers. Not far away, many more are being driven out.

"What do you know!" The man took the big knife and slashed unceremoniously at the case in front of the old man.
