As a fantasist, and has the potential to evolve from a fantasist to a philosopher, Ding Kui has a lot of time to think every day, and this time is not fixed, maybe when walking, maybe when eating, maybe on various occasions, in short, this person has to spend a certain amount of time thinking about problems every day, so many years have not changed, now that he is a little older, he has more thoughts about the future, and the time to think is also increasing accordingly.

Fortunately, he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, otherwise he would be in a daze while chatting with his daughter-in-law, and it would be easy to wonder if there was a mistress outside, so some family conflicts were derived, which had a counter-effect on the flourishing branches of the Ding family, and the consequences would be very serious if they were extended.

At this moment, what Ding Kui is thinking about is his future life path, to put it simply, whether to continue to maintain this kind of life that is tight but absolutely safe, or to live that kind of life with Song Qing, but better and better.

This is a difficult problem, especially for the military households who are living in hardship, but have not yet reached the point of not being able to eat, it is a very important problem, if Song Qing just invited him to do business, he would not hesitate to agree to this matter, if his family is poor and can't open the pot, he will also agree to this matter without hesitation, but the problem now is that he is ranked in a middle position in various aspects, the upper cannot go up, the lower can not come down, and it is difficult for him to choose between taking a knife to improve his life and exchanging poverty for peace.

In fact, when Song Qing just came over, Ding Kui was still very happy, because the two of them were too familiar, Ding Kui knew Song Qing's roots very well, and knew that this young man who was now famous in the guard was still an otaku more than two months ago, although he didn't know the word, but it probably meant that.

As an otaku, it is impossible to know too much about Xuzhou, so although Song Qing's martial arts are amazing, and now he has a group of brothers under him, if he really encounters something, he will still come to him to discuss, because he is the best candidate in terms of friendship and ability.

Sure enough, Song Qing came to ask him about the distribution of forces in the inner and outer cities of Xuzhou, Ding Kui knew that the other party would not let himself suffer, so of course he explained carefully, but he thought that it would be okay to finish speaking, and he was waiting at home to eat dividends, at most he occasionally went over to help fight, but Song Qing proposed to let him join in.

Although Ding Kui doesn't usually cause much trouble, he is quite familiar with those rogue gamblers, and he is a person who has half a foot in it, and the reason why he did not fully step into it is that he thinks that the roads on both sides can be accessible, and he can come and go freely between the good people and the rivers and lakes.

It is also beneficial to join in, Song Qing's ability he has seen with his own eyes, not to mention the amazing martial arts, and there are also human lives on his hands, plus he seems to be quite good at training, when he interacts with the brothers on the rivers and lakes, even if he does not say that he is good at dancing with long sleeves, he can also do everything, and he is about to sprout, if he takes refuge in the past at this time, with his own identity and status, and his relationship with Song Qing, if he can really become bigger and stronger in the future, he is the treatment of a patriarch, and even the first person under Song Qing.

Being a veteran in a powerful force is much stronger than being separated from this force and only earning some hard work and errands, which is also the reason why Ding Kui has not been able to refuse, this kind of entanglement makes it difficult for him to make a choice for a long time, but fortunately, Song Qing did not urge him, only let him think slowly, and give him an answer after a day.

Ding Kui was thinking about things at home, Song Qing was also sitting in his room drawing drawings, he was not painting flowers, birds, fish and insects, not mountains and mountains, but a map of the distribution of rivers and lakes in the inner and outer cities of Xuzhou, although he had a good memory, but this kind of thing still drew a plane pattern to be more convenient, especially the various forces in the outer city are intricate, and some places are crooked and connected with several forces.

The forces inside and outside Xuzhou City are very complicated, and the city is relatively better, after all, it is the place of governance, although the chaos has been born in this world, but the Ming Dynasty has not reached the point where it can not hold on, so the prestige of the government is still noble, and the officials and men are in charge, and it looks better, but outside the city it is really a mix of various forces, if it is not for Ding Kui, a person who knows everything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, only based on Song Qing's original memory, plus the military households under his command to guess and say, I am afraid it is really difficult to figure out.

The first is the north of the city, the largest pole in the north of the city is called Sun Manxiang, is a business inn, the reason why it is said to be a pole, is really because the innkeeper is a thief, the first two years to the Lord Zhizhou sent a lot of benefits, led a group of brothers to recruit An, after going down the mountain, in the yamen to make up a white service, that is, the later assistant police, there are a lot of brothers, with him has a serious identity, a lot of things that were not good to do in the past, now it is easy to get up, and slowly play out their own sphere of influence in the north of the city.

Sun Manxiang runs an inn, but there are many tricks in this inn, originally those small gambling houses in the north of the city were merged by him, and they were placed in the backyards of various inns, and some even set up gambling tables directly in the outer hall, which is much stronger than Wu Laohei's small gambling house.

In addition, this Sun Manxiang also cooperated with the Qinglou in the city, and from time to time called those courtesans to the inn to serve the high-rollers who went south and north of him, so the business was very prosperous, and the two years were not good to catch up with the year, and many refugees came to the north, and he also received a lot of powerful thugs, and now he is a hegemon in Xuzhou.

It's just that people like him also have opponents, there are heroes on all sides of Xuzhou City, but the biggest contradiction with Sun Manxiang is Liao Hong in the east of the city, although this Uncle Liao is not a thief, but he is also a local hero, it is said that he has committed a life lawsuit in his hand, and finally took the money to wipe it out, since then there have been many Jiangyang thieves to protect the door, he has a big family, and has always been right, and then there are more brothers under his hands, seeing that the business of the Chengbei Inn is booming, and he also began to do this business.

As the saying goes, peers are enemies, not to mention that these two are not doing a good job, the inn exposed outside is just for people to see, the things inside are the most important, although Xuzhou is not a small place, but there are always a number of guests, you go to one more, my family will come one less, not to mention those high-rollers are the masters of a lot of money, the main source of customers for the two is also these people, so the contradiction is intensifying, from time to time to start a few fights, are thinking of destroying each other.
