After the rain, the wind is still blowing violently through Chang'an, as if to sweep the majesty of this cold winter wax moon across the entire land of Kyushu.

Xu Changfeng pushed open the door early in the morning and saw Zhou Qixuan waiting in the courtyard. Both of them didn't look very good, obviously because of the cold rain last night, which made their bodies a little cold. However, Zhou Qixuan's face was a little more joyful.

"Door early in the morning, what's the good thing?" Xu Changfeng, as usual, bypassed Zhou Qixuan and walked to the stove.

"Silver Arhat has been caught. Zhou Qixuan looked at him and said, "Just last night, Zhaoyuemen had taken over the business of the Sword Fu Gang completely. And the death of Zheng Kai and Zheng Tong was entirely because the Silver Arhat was tricked into killing Zheng Tong, thus instigating the war between Zhaoyuemen and the Sword Fu Gang. Now that his head is hanging in the courtyard of the Sword Fu Gang, the truth will naturally be revealed. ”

Xu Changfeng's eyelids blinked, this is indeed a good thing.

Although Zhaoyuemen destroyed the Sword and Fu Gang, it was not an easy thing to take over their business in a short period of time, and it was also quite a headache. After all, Zheng Kai's death will always make some people who follow him angry, so that they will form a group in the Sword Fu Gang, forming a lot of obstacles. If Zhaoyuemen wants to completely control this Chang'an market, it still has to spend a lot of effort.

And now that the silver arhat has been caught, it is equivalent to adding a few pieces of new charcoal to the Zhaoyue Gate in the cold winter. Silver Arhat disappeared in Chang'an a long time ago, and there were even fewer members of the Sword Fu Gang who knew about him. Now that there is a bow and a crossbow and a human head as evidence, this pot is pushed to him and Yang Yue, which is just right. No matter how much those Sword Fu Gang disciples hated, they didn't dare to hate the heads of the big people in the palace.

The Sword Fu Gang was also annexed by Zhaoyuemen.

"How did you catch the silver arhat?" Xu Changfeng asked as he washed rice and boiled porridge, his hands red from the cold water. The fact that the silver arhat can lurk in Chang'an for several years shows that he still has some ability. It's hard to find him.

Zhou Qixuan said with a smile: "He hid in the Menghua Building, relying on the fact that he was a little familiar with the girl there, and thought we didn't know." Whoever wanted to be shaken out by the little piano girl, I asked a few brothers to arrest him overnight. ”

Xiaoqinnu is referring to Mingming, Xu Changfeng has also taken the time to visit her in the past few days, so she also knows a little about these things. Who would have thought that Xu Changfeng just mentioned it casually that day, and it was obvious that she actually remembered it.

After Xu Changfeng lit the stove, he looked at Zhou Qixuan and asked, "You should come to me for more than this, right?"

Zhou Qixuan nodded, "Master Shang Shucheng of the Ministry of War sent someone to inform me to go to the conference hall of the Ministry of War in the afternoon to talk." ”

When he said this, he immediately paused and waited for Xu Changfeng's reply.

Xu Changfeng thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Zhaoyuemen has taken nearly nine points of territory in Chang'an City, and it is naturally difficult for other small gangs to survive, and the court naturally understands the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish." This time, we will only take seven of them, and the remaining two points will be given to the court. ”

Zhou Qixuan nodded solemnly, although this Chang'an market is short of oil and water, there are also many rivers and lakes forces coexisting, although Zhaoyuemen has the strength to wipe them out, but that will only make him fall into fire and water. It's enough to do your duty, and it's taboo to kill them all.

"But. Xu Changfeng continued, "These two points can't be easily handed over, you have to ask for some benefits from the imperial court." Now that Chang'an is in winter, the heating and repair of the prison, and the winter clothes and bedding of the prisoners also need to be expedited, you can try to ask for this job. At that time, even if someone enters the Zhaoyue Gate, it will be more comfortable inside. This is a good guarantee for the further development of the moon gate. Moreover, those things that are accommodating can also get more oil and water from it. ”

"It's a good calculation. Zhou Qixuan couldn't help but smile and nodded.

Taking Chang'an is just a piece of the pie from the rivers and lakes, and Zhaoyuemen must go out of Chang'an if it wants to develop. There was plenty of oil and water in that area, so sooner or later there would be a battle between them and the caravan. Zhou Qixuan is quite satisfied with Xu Changfeng, he can temporarily let go of the victory in front of him and see a longer road, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Xu Changfeng thought about it, and couldn't help but show a bit of seriousness on his face: "What are you going to do on the queen's side?"

Although he didn't know what rules Zhou Qixuan had set with the imperial court, it was certain that Zhou Qixuan's rash sword last night must have made many big figures in the court feel quite dissatisfied. If this matter cannot be properly handled, it may not be impossible for Zhou Qixuan to be grounded in Chang'an for life.

"You don't have to worry about that. When Zhou Qixuan heard this, he said calmly, "Yang Yue, although she has always wanted to kill me, there are rules that bind her. As long as I don't take half a step into the government, they can't touch a single hair of me. She thought that by erasing Lord Situ Yu, who had been dismissed from his official position, she would make this matter disappear into the night forever. It's a pity that Lord Situ Yu's Soul Breaking Palm is a unique stunt. I slapped him three times that day, and I still have a cripple on my body. As long as I take this as a condition, Yang Yue will come forward to speak for me. ”

Xu Changfeng listened to Zhou Qixuan's words, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hearing you say this, I suddenly became a little curious about your identity." The person who can make the ministers of the DPRK and China pay so much attention is not something that a layman can do. If Zheng Kai learns that you have this identity, he will not dare to act rashly if he borrows three dares. ”

"My identity ......" Zhou Qixuan smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary person, what can be special?"

After sending Zhou Qixuan away, he pondered alone in the courtyard.

He helped Zhaoyuemen destroy the Sword Fu Gang and seize the seven points of Chang'an City, just so that Zhou Qixuan had the capital to negotiate with the imperial court. His real purpose was just to be able to find an opportunity to enter the prison.

The word cell has multiple meanings, and it can refer to the prison where ordinary prisoners are held, or it can refer to the unfathomable and impregnable Chang'an prison.

As long as there are people, there will be negligence, otherwise Zhao Xinji would not be able to escape from prison alone, this is an eternal law. If you want to rob the prison and rescue Zhao Xinji, you only need to find an opportunity. And everything we do now is just to lay the foundation for that opportunity.

This is Xu Changfeng's first official step in Chang'an City.

He looked up at the gray sky, and he didn't know where Mr. Qin was at this time and how he was doing. It would be gratifying to let him know that he had taken this step ahead of schedule.

In their plans, it will take a long time to get to this point. It's just that Zhou Qixuan's appearance made Xu Changfeng accelerate the speed of his fall. And the first piece has already fallen, will the second one be far away?

It's just that what worries him is still Zhou Qixuan's identity. The two of them are like grasshoppers on a silk thread, as long as one of them falls, the other doesn't want to live alone. Zhaoyuemen will go farther and farther, and the situation of him and Zhou Qixuan will become more and more dangerous.

Since the assassination of Guozijian Siye, Xu Changfeng has become more and more aware that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an, he must take the initiative. has been waiting silently, and trouble will always come to the door.

He let out a long exhale, and simply didn't think about these troublesome things. He walked over to the stove and added a few more sticks of firewood. Seeing that the time for morning class was approaching, he had to hurry up and boil the porridge.

After a while, Liang Yi walked out of the house. He was wearing the uniform of the Qingzhu Sword Academy, and after sleeping smoothly and without worries in Chang'an for a while, he faded a little of the dust of the prodigal son of the rivers and lakes. His face has become a lot more handsome, and there is a little more aura between his eyebrows.

Xu Changfeng glanced at Liang Yi, and suddenly noticed that the aura in his body had become thicker, as if there was a river flowing continuously in his body. Obviously, this is the mark of the third-order foundation building realm.

"Have you broken through the realm?" Xu Changfeng looked at Liang Yi, with a little more envy in his eyes.

Liang Yi nodded, "I've been suppressed at the peak of the Purifying Realm for nearly a year, and if I don't break through the realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of it for the rest of my life." Xu Changfeng, I really thank you. If you hadn't taken me to fight that silver arhat in a life-and-death battle the night before, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly. ”

The wind hunted, and the boy laughed without saying a word.
