In this troubled world, everyone is sick, the seriously ill are acting on stage, and the lightly ill are watching the play offstage. - "The Biography of Chu Xiang Taifu"

"Ahh

The thin little five squatted beside Azule, who was full of contemplation, and couldn't help but exclaim when he heard his young brother's slightly solemn words.

"Brother Nian, do you mean that this thief was already dead before I gave the order to release the arrows?"

Xiao Wu clapped his hands fiercely, as if the doubts in his heart had been solved, but a trace of puzzlement appeared on his face, "However, when this person was pierced by the rain of arrows on the ground, I rode my horse to his side, and this thief also looked up at me!" ”

Azule's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak for a long time, but pressed his hands on the assassin's corpse to control the strength, and waited until he had a rough guess in his heart before getting up.

Seeing that Azule just turned around and didn't talk to him, Xiao Wu was a little uneasy, his eyes were puzzled, and he hurriedly chased to Azule's side and asked.

"Brother Nian, you say, you are killing me in a hurry, I am confused now."

Azule patted Xiao Wu in front of him angrily, turned around and waved his hand to carry the assassin's body down.

Then he flicked his sleeves slightly, sat on the agarwood stool, looked at Xiao Wu's anxious eyes, took the wine glass unhurriedly, and said slowly with a faint smile.

"That person was indeed killed by the rain of arrows in the sky, but ......," Azule said, but here was a pause, raising his hand to add himself a glass of wine, which made Xiao Wu on the side only feel a breath in his chest.

Seeing Xiao Wu who was impatient on the wooden bench, Azule sneered, and stopped teasing him, and continued.

"It's just that he suffered great internal injuries before he was attacked by the iron arrow, and his internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, and when I surveyed his body just now, I found that his left and right ribs and back bones were broken, as if he was crushed by some heavy object!"

Although Azule said while drinking with a flat face, there was also a little shock in the depths of his eyes, and it was the first time he had seen such an injury.

After taking a sip of the wine in the glass, Azule seemed to remember something again, and said to Xiao Wu, who was already in a sluggish state after listening to his words.

"Oh, by the way, you said he could still look at you before he died, but that's normal.

The body of a first-class master is already extremely strong, the flesh and blood have been refined, the muscles and bones have been forged, and the qi in the body naturally flows into a stream, endlessly. Even if you encounter this kind of injury, you won't die for a while. ”

Azule put down the glass wine glass in his hand, turned his head and saw that Xiao Wu on the side was still slightly open, and the whole person was still in a state of downtime, but he shook his head and smiled lightly.

"Brother Nian, you say, why did this master suddenly suffer such a serious injury? At that time, there was no fight on the overpass, and even if there was a fight, who could quietly seriously injure a dignified master in just a few breaths? ”

Xiao Wu's whole person was a little distracted, leaning weakly on the back of the wooden chair, muttering to himself, and the whole person was a little lost for a while.

"The top priority, let's not think about the assassin first, that thief must be the interests of those few Xiaoxiao eyes you founded Phoenix Street, so I gritted my teeth and moved the murderous intent, although it was not that it had not been carried out before, but this time I invited a first-class assassination master to come over and want to put you to death."

Azule's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers clasped lightly, and he made a clicking sound on the table, "Tell me to go down, go to a few people, check the tea stall near the overpass, and see if there are any suspicious people this afternoon!" If so, let them draw a portrait! ”

After a pause, Azule stared at the white horse leader who was standing with his hands tied at the foot of the hall, and said sharply.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it!"

When the white horse heard the order of his own son, the white horse quickly leaned down and replied.

"What's going on today, making a big fuss?"

Before the leader of Bai Ma Yi left the house, he heard a lazy word, and then he saw Ah Qi, who was dressed in a black robe, crossing the threshold and walking straight over.

"Ah Qi, you came just in time, I was about to send someone to invite you, let's discuss the next thing!"

Azule glanced up at Aqi and said slowly.

On the other side, Xiao Wu grabbed Ah Qi who came over again, looking like he was going to pour bitter water.

Ah Qi, who was still a little dazed just now, after Xiao Wu's eloquent narration, Ah Qi, who already had a little understanding of things, hurriedly interrupted Xiao Wu, who was full of interest.

"Okay, okay, I already know about it, so someone is secretly helping us?"

Ah Qi turned his head and looked at Ah Sul with a little confusion and said, looking at Ah Sul nodding affirmatively, Ah Qi didn't come up with who it was after thinking about it secretly.

"Listening to Xiao Wu say this, this person is really a little unpredictable, he can actually shoot down an iron arrow that is less than Xiao Wu or three feet from a small teacup from a tea stall a hundred steps away, this is already a master of taking off the product."

Ah Qi crossed his hands together, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought about it for a long time and said slowly.

"Don't care about that person anymore, although that person saved Xiao Wu once, but it's still not clear whether he is a friend or foe, if he has other purposes, he will still show his feet in the future."

Azule patted Xiao Wu next to him, who was still a little aggrieved, and turned to look at the two of them fixedly, his eyes were full of murder, and his tone was sonorous.

"What we have to do now is to wash away the dirt of this Liuyue City, find out some of the rooster and dog thieves hiding in the shadows, and wash them away!"

"Brother Nian, are you finally going to do it?"

"The time has come?"

Two voices, one with irrepressible surprise, the other with some unsurprising surprise.

"Well, we've been here for more than a month, it's time to do it, we've been hanging them out for more than a month, let them jump left and right, now it's time to sweep these annoying things into the dust."

Azul's face was steady, but there was a murderous intent in his tone, and the danger under the extreme silence was the most terrifying.

"Tell me to go down, tomorrow night I will hold a banquet in Taihe Building to entertain Liu Heihu, the two brothers of the Li family, and the old dog."

"Brother Nian, what is the name of our banquet this time?" , Xiao Wu's eyes moved, and he came to Azule and asked unsatisfactorily.

Azule's face was grim, he glanced at Xiao Wu, and then swept over Ah Qi who was sitting on the wooden chair, smiled for a long time, and said slowly, "What name?" ”

Asule paused, Gege smiled, "The name is, when I first arrived in the noble treasure land, I disturbed all the adults, and now I understand the reason, and it is too late to regret it, and I am willing to take the adults as the leader in the future, form allies, and rule the moon together!" ”

"Brother Nian, this? Really headed by them? ”

Although Ah Qi on the side was a little confused, he didn't say anything yet, but Xiao Wu couldn't help it and hurriedly asked.

"Hahaha, who is the leader, isn't it who holds the knife, it's easy to come, if you want to leave, can you easily leave without leaving anything?"

Azule grinned and patted the shoulder of Xiao Wu in front of him, his voice cold.

"So, will those people come as promised?"

Ah Qi's eyes were lowered, and after a pause, he looked up at Azule in front of the hall and asked suspiciously.

"Hmph, they all ate fishy cats, I wish they wanted to eat more, now we are willing to give away a part of the benefits, they are afraid that they will wake up laughing when they are dreaming, where is the reason not to come."

Azule snorted coldly and waved his hand, signaling that Aqi didn't need to worry about this matter.

Hearing that Azule was so confident, Ah Qi thought about it carefully, but there was some truth, and he immediately had no worries in his heart.

After he and the others entered the city from the defeat of the black-armored private army, they occupied the territory that was originally subordinate to the black-armored private army, and such a big piece of cake would attract Xiaoxiao to covet it anytime and anywhere.

The original black-armored cavalry heard that it seemed that the private army raised by the big family was stationed in Liuyue City, controlling several main streets of Liuyue City, and the Phoenix Avenue that Xiao Wu called before was one of those streets.

After seeing that Azul and they had defeated the Black-Armored Private Army, the original forces of Flowing Moon City tried to divide the peach and occupy the ownerless streets first, but how could Azul allow others to be clever on his head.

After entering the city immediately, he spread out the white horse and retained his booty from the forces that had not yet succeeded.

In this way, in the past month or so, Azul and others have had friction with some of the big forces in front of Liuyue City, and the two sides have suffered casualties on both sides, but those big forces have suffered big losses but they have hindered the elite of the White Horse Righteous Servants under Azule, and they have not clearly stood up and openly made enemies with Azul and others.

For more than a month, these forces have continued to provoke and harass Azule and others, especially when Azule sent out Xiao Wu to integrate the merchants on these streets, those Xiao Xiaoqi hiding in the shadows continued to target Xiao Wu, and attacked and killed several times.

And Azule also specially sent a team of white horse Yicong to protect Xiao Wu, and today Xiao Wu gathered the vendors of several streets on the main street that he named Phoenix Street.

The prosperity was far higher in the past, and the ability to accumulate wealth was increasing day by day, and those rooster and dog thieves finally sat back and watched all this no longer develop.

They invited a first-class assassination master out of nowhere, and launched a desperate assassination of Xiao Wu today.

If it weren't for the help of some unpredictable master in the dark today, Xiao Wu was afraid that he would have already encountered an accident, and he would have violated Azule's bottom line now, so he didn't want to wait for the opportunity to have the idea of killing all these forces.

That Liu Heihu is in charge of the Caoyun Boat Gang in Liuyue City, and the thousands of vicious gangs raised by his subordinates are called the Black Tiger Gang by the people of Liuyue City, all of them are fierce men who beg for a living on the boat.

And the two brothers of the Li family are the number one force in this Liuyue City except for the black-armored private army that was defeated by Asul, and the two brothers are in charge of the private salt of Liuyue City.

The other is also in charge of the ironware business of Liuyue City, and the two of them have two thousand slaves in their homes, but whenever they go out, they are surrounded by hundreds of people, which is more generous than the officials of the imperial court.

And the person who was called an old dog by Azul was a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, his real name was no longer known, but he was called an old dog by the leaders of other forces.

This person secretly controls the lifeblood of the peddlers and pawns in Liuyue City, and acts as a middleman, introducing business to some of the peddlers and pawns who are running, so he also secretly controls a group of subordinates who are not a few.

And there is another force in this huge Liuyue City, which is the Chamber of Commerce, and the Liuyue Chamber of Commerce is not as powerful and influential as the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

On the contrary, in Liuyue City, this Liuyue Chamber of Commerce is like a harmless roadside puppy for humans and animals, anyone who sees it can step forward and bully it, but the Liuyue Chamber of Commerce, which was originally a force, has now reached the lowest level among the major forces in Liuyue City, and has become an object of oppression and exploitation.

The president of the Liuyue Chamber of Commerce is called Wang Youcai, as his name suggests, his assets are also strong, but he is cowardly, and when there is a conflict and conflict, he always wants to compensate for money and settle people, which is regarded as a fortune boy by several other major forces.

This king has wealth, and the situation in this Liuyue City is not even as good as that of the newcomer Asule, and his life is miserable.

Therefore, when Azule first said that he would have a banquet, he suddenly came up with an idea, if this plan was feasible, then the success of his plan this time would be greatly increased.

Just when Ah Qi and Xiao Wu were thinking about the feasibility of Azule's plan, they saw Azule, who was standing at the door looking into the distance, turn around.

"Xiao Wu, before that, you dressed up tonight, and asked people to secretly send a letter to Wang Youcai of the Liuyue Chamber of Commerce to ask him to come out to negotiate things, probe his tone, and remember not to let the spies of other forces notice about this matter!"

Xiao Wu obviously couldn't keep up with Azule's out-of-the-box thinking, and asked with some hindsight.

"Brother Nian, what do you mean?" , Xiao Wu stood up and walked to Asul's side, with a hint of inquiry, "Which cowering Wang Youcai are you going to tie to our chariot?" ”

"Hmm!" , Azule glanced back at Xiao Wu, "If we have this person's help, I think it will be a lot easier!" ”

"But, Brother Nian, this person is as timid as a mouse, you see which of these forces in Liuyue City will look at him squarely, everyone just treats him as a fortune boy, if he participates, it will not help our big things!"

Xiao Wu's tone was a little anxious, in his eyes, the king had no use for money, but maybe it would drag down their big things, in case this person turned his head and went to tell the leaders of other forces.

All this could happen in Xiao Wu's eyes, and he definitely couldn't stand the big things that someone was trying to subvert Azule.

Azule quietly listened to Xiao Wu's complaints, and when Xiao Wu spit out all the thoughts in his heart, Azule just smiled, patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, and said softly.

"Xiao Wu, do you really think that if a person looks so weak and deceitful, he must be an incompetent and cowering person?"

Xiao Wu didn't understand the meaning of Azule's words, but Aqi's face changed slightly, as if he understood the true meaning of Azule's words.

"Little Wu, people live in this world with disguise, and some people disguise themselves as fierce and terrible in order to hide their inner vulnerability!"

"And some people disguise their benevolence and morality in order to cover up the filthy darkness in their hearts."

"And some people's words, the opposite, the superficial weakness is not real weakness, just so that they can better survive in this troubled world!"

Azule turned his back and said lightly something that touched Xiao Wu deeply, "I don't believe that a person who has been able to wander between the major forces of Flowing Moon City for so many years, with long sleeves and good dancing from side to side but intact, is so weak and incompetent as he appears on the surface!" ”

Xiao Wu was a little stunned, he never tried to uncover the surface of everyone's disguise to see through that person's true inner appearance.

"Xiao Wu, you go and negotiate with him, show our strength, and tell him that we can do such a thing, an earth-shattering thing that can clean up Flowing Moon City!"

Asule's eyes were shining, and Xiao Wu didn't dare to look at him for a while.

"You go and tell him if he wants to stay in the status quo and hide behind other people's backs for the rest of his life, or if he is not satisfied with the status quo, stand in front of the stage, and let everyone see what he really is."

"Then what if the king does not agree to work with us?"

Xiao Wu couldn't help it, and expressed his inner doubts, deep in his heart, that Wang Youcai still didn't dare to do such a thing.

"This thing is best with him, we can do it without his participation, it's nothing more than whether the process is smooth or not, you go and tell him, we just gave him a qualification to enter, whether he wants to sing on stage, or go off stage to watch the play, or want to leave, we won't stop more!"

"But when this scene is over, he will only have one choice, to be eaten by us or by those people."

What Azul said was so clear that he always remembered what Abba had told him when he was on the march, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, and barking like a big stick.

Although Abba is always silent, he doesn't open his mouth, and as soon as he speaks, he can reveal the essence of the matter!

The words used are short and precise, making it impossible to question, quite in line with the old saying "Madame does not speak, what she says must be true!" ”。

Azule interjected his hand and looked at the boundless fire clouds outside the window, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"Go ahead, bring my words and our attitude to him, presumably this month is enough for him to see what kind of people we are, I don't want to waste our time in such a small place, our stage should be the Huanghuang Imperial Capital!"

"Oh, by the way, bring him another word, the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under the people for a long time!"
