Chapter 246: The Wind Rises at the End of Qingping

I will listen to whoever can give me food, and whoever can feed me, I will give my life to whomever I can eat, and Agung has always thought so and done so.

Since the Seventh Master changed the pattern of the underground world in the south of the city with nine knives overnight, many teenagers who were running for their lives on the rivers and lakes were like carps crossing the river and attached to the Jingqi Gate.

For these teenagers who were struggling at the bottom like him, for some reason, at the beginning, Jing Qi didn't even take any of them. Whatever strange skills or extraordinary courage he has, he will be turned away.

However, the situation in Sendai Castle is becoming more and more chaotic, and there are more and more displaced people.

The homeless people are not terrible, but the terrible thing is to disguise the identity of the homeless people, but they are outsiders who are killing people and fighting for land.

Sendai is like the fattest piece of fat in the center of the dynasty, and the wolves have long coveted it. Faced with gang competitors hiding in the shadows, Jing Qi began to expand his power in a planned way, and Agung was one of them.

Jing Qi handed over the recruitment of newcomers to Gao Tianyi.

This former apprentice of Qian Zhuang under Xu Feng has changed from a cautious and honest young man to a tall and dignified man.

Perhaps because he was used to fighting and seeing too much life and death, Gao Tianyi became very calm at this time, and there was even a trace of indifference under his calm face.

To join a gang in the rivers and lakes, you must first have a rule of worshipping the mountain gate. There are seven young people who have come to worship the mountain gate today, and these seven people have been chosen from among the tens of thousands of deacons below, and Agung is one of them.

The first five, some were hired, and some were played, and now it is Agung's turn.

Agung thought to himself: No matter where you are, you will eat a mouthful of food. I was very flat about the result.

However, when the tall and strong young man stood in front of him almost face to face, Agung was still a little panicked.

He wasn't afraid, he just remembered the rumors on the rivers and lakes: "Follow Ah Qichuang, ten thousand taels of gold and silver." ”

All the glory and wealth were in the thought of the big tall man in front of him, so Agung was a little nervous.

Gao Tianyi stared at Agung's wandering eyes and didn't speak for a long time. Let the fierce sun shine above the heads of the two, the sun has changed, and the shadow of Agung on the shadow wall has been shortened by an inch.

At this time, what Gao Tianyi remembered in his mind was the explanation of the Seventh Master: "Courage first, righteousness first." ”

Gao Tianyi took out a knife from his arms. This knife is not long, about seven inches, but it does not look like an ordinary dagger, just a knife.

The handle of the knife turned, stared into Agung's eyes, and said, "Stick a knife in me." ”

Agung was stunned.

Legend has it that the test of joining the Nine Swords Gate is no surprise, but I was still bluffed by this request.

It is also a man who has passed through the pile of swords, and Agung has only practiced the exercises for a short period of three breaths. It doesn't matter how you test, since you say so, it's up to you.

Thinking like this in his heart, Ah Gong rolled his strange eyes, and did not pick up the seven-inch-long sharp knife, but held the handle of the knife with his hand at the same time, and directly pushed it into Gao Tianyi's lower abdomen.

"Ahh

With a bold roar, all the strength in his hand was sent out.

However, the knife seemed to be welded in the air, not only did it not move in the slightest, but it did not even move the palm of the outstretched hand of the tall man opposite.

Agung did not believe in evil. The right foot was withdrawn, and with all his strength he pushed forward, but the knife still did not move.

Gao Tianyi looked at Ah Gong, whose face was flushed because of his exertion, and shook his head slightly.

Just when Agung thought that he had been beaten and was about to give up, Gao Tianyi said calmly: "You are a member of the Nine Swords Gate. ”

Was it because he had a short time to think about it, or was his hand quick enough to react? Agung didn't think much about it, and just nodded happily.

After helping the crowd for several months, Agung's boldness and carefulness were recognized by the brothers, and even looked at by the Seventh Master. From an ordinary gang to Jing Qi's most trusted entourage, he dismounted and set up a stool, not leaving Jing Qi's left or right.

Jing Qi is lonely, has no family, makes tea and pours water when he is busy, and his daily work of laundry and diet is also served by several of his little brothers.

Although he has been the follower of the famous seventh master in the rivers and lakes, in the Nine Swords Gate, Agong is only a negligible Qingping in the rivers and lakes.

Sure enough, just a month after he started, Agung saved ninety-six taels of silver. A few more taels can redeem Xiaoqian from the hall.

Ah Gong put the counted silver into the bundle bag, and with a satisfied mouth, he was ready to drink two cups, and by the way, he told Xiaoqian the good news.

The night breeze in the city was a little cool, and Agung first struggled for a bowl of beef noodles at the Jiang Ji beef soup stall at the gate of Fengqian Village in the old port.

Red oil soup, white thin noodles, covered with a few thin slices of tender beef. There are a lot of chili peppers in the soup, and the amount of noodles is also very large, which is very hungry.

It's just that there are fewer and fewer laborers who are willing to spend money, and there are not many customers.

Agung pushed the clean porcelain bowl to the table, sprinkled a few copper plates, and walked away.

The old man who sold noodles was waisted again and again, knowing that this was another good man who mixed up the rivers and lakes, because these people paid the most chic.

It was already late at night, and Agung secretly went to the Spring Flower Tower.

Chunhualou is a low-class brothel on the edge of the east city.

In a place like this, there is no single dormitory for each person, and all the girls live in a large room.

Behind this bedroom was a row of tall willow trees, and the dim moonlight reflected in the back window through the willow branches that had lost their leaves.

Argonne skillfully walked around the willow tree to the familiar window, and with a soft heart, knocked lightly on the window.

A lazy and joyful voice immediately came from inside, and the voice was deliberately suppressed: "Who?!"

Listening to the joy in his voice, Agung smiled in the moonlight under the willow trees, and smiled happily.

"I know and ask. Argonne whispered.

"It's so late, people have to rest. The nice female voice inside said.

Although he said that he wanted to rest, there was no movement to fall asleep.

Through the thick wooden window, Agung knew that Xiao Qian was behind the window, like a cat, her head was lightly pressed against the window, and she was wearing obscene clothes such as a belly pocket, holding her breath and waiting for herself to speak.

"Good news for you!" said Argon.

Before he could say the good news, he heard the sound of his own heartbeat.

Looking at the dim light on the window, trying his best to calm his heartbeat, he listened attentively, but he heard Xiaoqian's heartbeat again.

Good news. They certainly know what the good news is. - Two hundred taels of ransom silver.

Xiao Qian and Agung fought for this for three years, and agreed countless times, until more than a month ago, Agung swore in front of the window that he would save enough money within a month.

In the more than a month since Agung disappeared, Xiaoqian was always restless. When leaning on the window and waiting for guests, he was always distracted, and he was punished several times by the old bustard, and the blood marks on his body from the rattan whipping have not healed yet.

Agung, who had disappeared for more than a month today, suddenly came back and told her in a firm and gentle tone: "Good news for you!"

How can this not make people's hearts beat.

After a long silence, everything returned to calm, and a calm voice came from the window: "Tomorrow a guest will order me, it's late, you can leave quickly." ”

The voice was so calm, without a hint of emotion or waves.

Agung was stunned for a moment, clutched the heavy silver bag tightly in his right hand, gently pressed his ear to the window, and then faintly heard the sound of crying. Probably hiding under the quilt and crying, the voice was very small.

Clouds obscured the moon. Argonne left, with a gentle smile on his face. For he could hear it as a cry of joy.

Yes, the bad days are over, and we should be happy, but why do we have to cry and be happy?

Walking along the low stone wall of the eastern city, Agung walked in the direction he had come, and suddenly felt a chill in his back, and his heart was shocked, and he stood in place.

"I don't want her to die, so I'll do as I say. ”
