Taizhou is adjacent to Jining Prefecture, there is a Sifang Mountain at the junction of the two prefectures, the mountain range is endless, winding for dozens of miles, the Sifang Mountain is the main peak, far away from the hope is like a straight sword, the mountain peak towers, straight into the sky. The terrain of this Sifang Mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be regarded as a feng shui treasure land that uncovers the pole uprising, falls into the grass and occupies the mountain as the king.

At the foot of Sifang Mountain, there is a winding path, there was no road here, just because the chai man who collected firewood at the foot of the mountain walked a lot, and naturally walked out of this mountain road.

At this time, on this path, a young man in Tsing Yi held a folding fan in his hand and walked leisurely. He has a dignified appearance and an extraordinary temperament, and no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a villager in this rural area, let alone a firewood driver who collects firewood and cuts wood. Looking at his extravagant dress and leisurely demeanor, it looks more like he came to enjoy the mountains and rivers. It's just that you have ever seen a person who travels alone in the mountains and rivers, and since he is a noble son, he always has to be a miscellaneous guy around him, right?

"The three sides of the Sifang, Shandong, and Northwest are all dangerous peaks, and only this south side looks more comfortable. Anyway, in order to see Brother Duan, I'll take the trouble to go back! The man put away the folding fan, pinned it to his waist, and walked along the relatively gentle slope to the top of the mountain. At this time, if someone stands at the bottom of the mountain and looks, he can see a blue figure jumping in the forest, sometimes in a hurry, and then disappearing into the forest.

After walking for about half an hour, the road was smoothed out, and the thorny ghost was completely gone. Halfway up the mountain, I suddenly saw a pavilion, and on both sides of the pavilion stood two guards wearing short shirts and long boots. When the two saw someone swaggering up the mountain, they took out their matching swords very tacitly, stepped forward to stop them, and shouted: "What kind of person." ”

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and took out the fan pinned to his waist, but his action caused the two of them to panic, thinking that he was going to make a move, and just as he was about to make a move, the man in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this, the little surname is Li, and I have come to visit Brother Duan." ”

One of them looked him up and down and asked, "Do you know our helper, but Li Mugongzi from Jiangdong?" ”

"Haha, yes, yes, it's me." Li Mu didn't seem surprised that these people knew about him, and he didn't show any puzzled expression on his face.

"What kind of token credentials do you have?" Although the other person felt that this person was young and did not look like he had a good reputation, he still asked respectfully, if this person was really the righteous brother of the helper, he could not afford to offend.

Li Mu took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the man: "You can present this thing, Brother Duan will send someone to answer when he sees it." ”

The man took the jade pendant, took out a whistle and put it to his lips to blow it, and after a while, a secret guard on horseback came, took the jade pendant and reported to the mountain.

"Childe, please sit in the pavilion for a while." The two were polite and let Li Mu into the pavilion. At this time, it was the middle of winter, the weather was cold, and a small red clay stove and a set of teacups and utensils were placed on the stone table in the pavilion. One of the guards lit the stove, heated the water, made tea, and handed it to Li Mudao: "Gongzi will just drink tea to quench his thirst!" ”

Li Mu was not hypocritical, so he took it and drank it. is also holding a fan and fanning himself, looking like a gentleman. When the tea drank a small half pot, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the guards next to the pavilion originally thought that the secret guard had come back, and looked up at the person sitting right away, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, heroic and extraordinary, and a beard on his face that looked very characterful.

The two hurriedly came to greet them, "My subordinates have seen the helper." ”

How could the bearded man be in the mood to pay attention to the two of them, after getting off the horse, he bypassed the two directly, strode into the pavilion, grabbed Li Mu's hand and said, "Brother Xian, you are here, you want to kill my brother." ”

Li Dagongzi withdrew his hand without a trace, hugged his fist and said, "Isn't the little brother here?" ”

"Okay, well, hurry up and talk about it on the mountain for your brother." This bearded voice is like a bell, and at first glance he is a master with extraordinary internal strength.

Li Mu looked at the horse he was riding and said, "Brother Duan, don't you want the two of us brothers to ride together?" ”

The bearded man laughed, patted his forehead and said, "I'm confused, someone!" ”

"Yes, the helper commands." The two of them thought that this person was really Li Mu, so they didn't dare to be suspicious, and they were busy listening to Duan Xing's dispatch.

"Find another good horse." No wonder there are magpies arguing non-stop today, because there are distinguished guests coming.

"Yes." The man picked up the whistle and put it to his lips and blew it, only this time in a noticeably different tone than the last time. As soon as the whistle fell, a horse came running out of nowhere, and ran directly to the pavilion to stop, and the guard took him by the hand, waiting for Duan Xing and Li Mu.

"Brother, the horse is coming, you and I will go up the mountain!" It's rare for the two of them to get together, and they must drink it for a day and a night, and they have been separated from this kid for three years, and I don't know if he has changed his mind, if he can be pulled into the gang, it would be really good.

Li Mu walked out of the pavilion with Duan Xing, turned over his horse, and went all the way to the top of the mountain.

On the rivers and lakes, there are few people who do not sell the face of the Green Gang.

The Green Gang is a gang established a hundred years ago, and it is said that at the beginning of its establishment, it was just a small gang of more than 100 people, not only did it have no prestige in the rivers and lakes, but even the ordinary scholars who were a little famous did not take the Green Gang in their eyes. But then there was a great figure in the Green Gang, it is said that this person has mediocre martial arts, and he was originally an inconspicuous little person in the gang, but his mind is very powerful, and he has a lot of good ideas for the leader of the Green Gang. Not only did it annex other neighboring small gangs within a few years, but even stirred up several powerful big gangs into a pot of porridge, the Green Gang fished in troubled waters, and the benefits naturally went without saying, the momentum of the Green Gang became stronger and stronger, and there were more and more people of insight who came to take refuge.

However, the years have passed, and things have changed. A hundred years later, although the reputation of the Green Gang is still there, after all, there has never been a wizard like the ancestors, and although the sphere of influence has shrunk, it can be called a dominant party.

"Brother Xian, you are a busy person, you and I haven't seen each other for three years." In the main hall of the main altar of the Green Gang, there is no one else who dares to speak like this, except for the gang leader Duan Xing.

There was good wine and food on the table, but it couldn't stop this guy's mouth. Li Mu was helpless in his heart, but he also knew Duan Xing: If you have a temper with him, you will die for you, and he will not frown; If you get in his way, even if the king of heaven comes, he will not look at you with the right eyes.

"That's what my brother said." Thinking of all the things he had when he met this barbarian, Li Mu also sighed.

The bearded Duan Xing saw that he seemed to be a little sad, so he poured him a full bowl of wine and asked, "Brother, how can I see that you seem to be preoccupied?" What's annoying you? ”

Li Mu smiled bitterly and raised his head to drink the bowl of wine. Even Duan Xing, who has few tendons, can see that he has something on his mind, is it so obvious?

Duan Xing saw that he had been drinking, and he didn't defend himself, and his doubts became even heavier. I haven't seen him for three years, and although my eight-worship friend is still beautiful, it seems that there are some different things. Li Mu is a businessman, thinking about the messy things behind him, and then thinking about the involvement of those forces, it is not difficult to understand why his current state of mind has changed.

Three years ago, he was a suave and happy nobleman, although he was a businessman, he valued love and righteousness, and he was very fond of his own taste.

Three years later, although he still has the same demeanor, he is still the same handsome boy in his gestures, but he always feels that his expression seems to be a little more gloomy......

"Brother, but if you have annoying things, just tell your brother, which one provokes you, it is the brother who provokes you, as long as you say a word, brother and I will use the power of the entire Green Gang, and I will also pick the skin of that guy." Duan Xing patted his chest and promised, causing Li Mu to chuckle.

He still hasn't changed, I really don't know how he usually handles the help, looking at it this way, where is the head of the dignified youth gang? More like a butcher. Thinking about it again, although the power of the Green Gang is not all over the world, it should not be underestimated, with his friendship with Duan Xing, as long as he opens his mouth, Duan Xing has no reason to refuse. It's just a century-old foundation of the Green Gang, do you want it to be lost in Duan Xing's hands? If you are in trouble, you have to drag your brother into the water, how can there be such a reason?

"I'm afraid this person won't be able to ......"
