The weather was as cold as ice, and the bed board was as cold as ice. Han Xiaofeng actively opened his mind to recall the hot kang in the northeast, and finally let him, an authentic southerner, fiddle with it, and the family can finally spend this winter warmly.

As the saying goes, one day of practice, one day of practice, one day of not practicing ten days of pine. As soon as the day dawned, a young man in a green shirt walked towards the city with a little girl, leaving a series of footprints of different sizes along the way. These two people are Han Xiaofeng and Xiaolan, who have just come back from practice, seeing that the little girl's nose is red from the cold, she can't bear to continue walking, so she found a tea shop and asked for a pot of hot tea to drink.

There were no padded jackets in the Tang Dynasty, and few people went out in winter, and the business of the tea shop was extremely deserted, with few customers. At this time, a few young men who were shivering from the cold suddenly came in, still carrying knives.

The swordsman shouted loudly, "The boss serves tea, and I am frozen to death, uncle." “

The boss was naturally very happy to see a guest come to the door, and quickly brought a pot of tea.

A young swordsman sighed into his palm, then covered the teapot to keep warm. said, "Brother Long, it's not appropriate for us to leave like this, I always feel sorry for Gang Master Yuan." “

Brother Long said, "Then what's the solution, those people are too powerful, what can we do, I will not be the opponent of that person even if I practice for another ten or twenty years." Hey, it's so hateful. “

The young swordsman also sighed and said, "I want my Qingxia Sect to do my business honestly, never participate in the grievances of the rivers and lakes, I never thought that there is today, it is really good to be bullied." “

Brother Long said with a face full of anger, "It's not Cheng San's eating things inside and outside, colluding with outsiders to murder the gang leader, otherwise how could he be poisoned by this kind of person and status of the gang leader." “

The young swordsman said in a low voice, "I heard from the other brothers in the gang that this new gang leader is from Shanzhou, not a good man, and he is very ruthless. Those disobedient brothers just wiped the man's neck directly, and they didn't even have a chance to fight back. “

Brother Long shook his head and sighed, "This is the case in this world, whoever is ruthless and fast is the eldest brother." “

People from Shanzhou, why did they come to Chang'an recently to make waves, they all came from that side, I heard Chu Yun mention that this ghost slave is the Shanzhou clan, this Shanzhou is the territory of King Jing, it seems that things are not so simple.

The young swordsman said, "Brother Long, if we want to leave, it's better to get out of the city as soon as possible, today's Qingxia Gate is no longer the Qingxia Gate of the past, there is nothing to be nostalgic for." “

Brother Long put down the teacup and said, "What you said is reasonable, let's go." With that, he put down the broken silver, hurriedly put on his cloak and went out of the city.

So many things have happened in just a few days, and it seems that the situation is a little bad, Han Xiaofeng sent Xiaolan back to the house and hurriedly went to the Tang Gate Helm.

After some understanding, I learned that a lot of strange things have happened in Chang'an recently, Yuan Qingxia, the leader of the Qingxia Sect, was betrayed by the second leader of the gang and died tragically at home, and his wife and children were not spared. The Qingxia Sect, which had never participated in the battle between the rivers and lakes, actually began to annex the territory of other large and small gangs, and its combat power was beyond everyone's expectations, and it wantonly absorbed the remnants of the Crazy Sand Gang and the Eighth Rank Gate. Now the number of people has reached 800, which should not be underestimated. The most strange thing is that all the grain began to be sold around Chang'an, but the good market in Chang'an was abandoned, and all the rice shops in Chang'an were converted into gambling houses. This is what Han Xiaofeng can't understand the most, doing so is completely self-defeating.

The second thing made Han Xiaofeng even more unexpected, the Qingzhou Gang, which had just risen a few days ago, suddenly fell to the Qingxia Gate, and the two gangs formed an alliance to become the largest and strongest party in Chang'an, and they had the posture to take the underground world of Chang'an into their pockets.

Han Xiaofeng summoned Liu Er, Sun Chao and Slender Monkey, the backbone of the Tang Sect, to discuss countermeasures, the Qingxia Sect is just killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, and the next thing to deal with should be our Tang Sect or the Jiannan Dao Salt Gang.

Han Xiaofeng said with sorrow, "Brother Sun, you don't have any good ideas, let's hear about it?" “

Sun Chao also sighed, and said helplessly, "I don't have any good way, the situation in Chang'an is far more complicated than imagined, and many forces are involved." But one thing can be seen, they don't seem to care about profits, but more about people. “

Han Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Brother Sun has a point. “

Liu Er muttered, "These people are sick in the brain, and they are not fighting, why are they taking so many people for, don't they need to spend money to raise them." “

As soon as he heard this, Han Xiaofeng was stunned, it was really possible, there were dozens of large and small gangs in Chang'an, and there were at least more than 2,000 gangs. Although it is inferior to a well-trained regular army on the battlefield, it is not the same when it is twisted out individually.

Han Xiaofeng suddenly asked, "Do you know who the Shanzhou Thorn Shi is?" “

Sun Chao thought for a while and said, "The history of Shanzhou is King Jing, although it is the history of assassination, but it is the official of the eight classics of the frontier. The area under its jurisdiction is more than three times that of the general history of thorns. “

Han Xiaofeng jumped up and said, "The big thing is not good, Chang'an is going to be in chaos." “

A few people were a little inexplicable, and Liu Er said, "General, this Chang'an is not chaotic enough?" No matter how chaotic it is, it's not a gang fight. “

Han Xiaofeng's heart was in turmoil, this Chang'an underground world will become a place of contention, there must be a reason why people cannot be superior, first Hou Qing wants to get rid of me by the hands of others, and the purpose is also to unify all the gangs in Chang'an. And now the Qingxia Sect, which has suddenly changed hands, has the same purpose, and there must be a reason why they do it.

The civil strife incident in Qingxiamen this time seems to be small, but the warning to Han Xiaofeng is undoubtedly huge. Although the probability of a traitor in the Tang Sect is very small, after all, all the members are screened from the beggar gang, but this possibility is not ruled out. What scared Han Xiaofeng the most was that the traitor entered the Tang Gate unintentionally, such as Tai'an's government soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, who were placed in Chen De's eyes. With Yang Xiu's foresight and forbearance, such a thing is not impossible to do.

Han Xiaofeng said, "You are all the pillars of the Tang Sect, you must be more careful recently, the next target of the Qingxia Sect may be us." “

Sun Chao said, "Don't worry, we must be vigilant." “

Before leaving, Han Xiaofeng was not at ease, so he called Sun Chao to his side again, and whispered a few words in his ear before leaving, and Sun Chao's face became more solemn, and he stood still for a long time before he began to busy himself with his own affairs.

Han Xiaofeng walked around the city a few times and found Guo Xiao in the Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city, and saw that he was shivering from the cold. said, "You are also a helper, why don't you buy yourself a few thick jackets." “

Guo Xiao said with a smile, "I have bought several clothes at home, and I am not willing to wear them." The jackets I wore today were given to a few other little beggars, otherwise they would not have survived this winter. “

Han Xiaofeng smiled: "You are kind. “

Guo Xiao smiled, "Isn't this close to Zhu Zhechi, isn't the master just a kind person." “

Han Xiaofeng patted the snow on his head and said with a smile, "You are getting better and better at slapping on the back, ask you, how many beggars are around Chang'an." “

Guo Xiao thought for a while and said, "The preliminary estimate is that there should be more than 2,000 people, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. I don't know what the master has planned? “

Han Xiaofeng said, "If you let me have nothing to do, just inquire about how many rice shops in Yuezhou are in the surrounding counties, and where they are opened, and you can write them down and give them to me when the time comes." Then you have recently brought some more silver, and brought all the young and powerful beggars in the gang out of Chang'an, and I have something for you to do when the time comes. “

Guo Xiao hesitated a little and said, "It's almost the New Year, can I go with my sister after the New Year." “

Han Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "No, this matter is very important, it must be done as soon as possible, if there is nothing to do at that time, you can come back for the New Year." “

Guo Xiao was a little disappointed, but still nodded and agreed.

Time flies so fast, it's been almost a year to the Tang Dynasty, and it's going to be the New Year, but I don't know if I can live this year safely. The streets are white, and the snow is a good sign.
