The scuffle in the west of the city finally ended at dawn.

Because the actions of the two sides were too big and the battle was too long, it was far from an ordinary battle in the rivers and lakes, which had already threatened the security of Chang'an City and alarmed Cui Ping, the commander of the city defense army.

Cui Ping directly sent a team of 500 people to appear on the stage to control the overall situation, and the Jin Wangfu and the Hanshui Gang stopped the battle and retreated.

After Li Wuchang's trio saw the city defense army, they immediately withdrew to the east of the city, and each went back to his own home, Li Wuchang climbed over the wall and returned to Li's house, and Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun naturally returned to Xuanpingfang.

In the melee last night, more than 300 people were dispatched by the Hanshui Gang and the Jin Wangfu, and the losses on both sides were extremely heavy, and the major streets in the west of the city were full of blood.

Zhu Changlong, the second son of the Hanshui Gang, made a quick decision, withdrew from the stronghold in the west of the city, dismantled the team, broke it into pieces, hid it, and waited for the opportunity to leave the city.

And Lu Yuanfeng was furious, the table was smashed, yelling and screaming, vowing to wipe out the Hanshui Gang, this time he not only lost the general Mo Laosan, but also lost a lot of good players.

This incident shook the entire Chang'an City.

Because the matter involved the Jin Palace, Cui Ping, the commander of the city defense army, stopped the scuffle, and went directly to the palace to inform the emperor and ask for instructions.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and Lu Yuanfeng, the king of Xuanjin, and Li Lingwu, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, entered the palace.

The four of them discussed for a morning before they dispersed, and Lu Yuanfeng, Li Lingwu, and Cui Ping had different expressions when they left the palace.

Lu Yuanfeng's face was pale, his steps were like the wind, and he left Li Lingwu and Cui Ping behind him in a while.

Li Lingwu was as calm as ever, he couldn't see his joy or anger, looked at Lu Yuanfeng's back, and said lightly: "Commander Cui, it seems that King Jin is very angry!"

Cui Ping was not as calm and relaxed as Li Lingwu, his face was a little unnatural, and he said: "Lord Li, the lower officials just do things according to the rules and are loyal to the emperor." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The scene last night was too chaotic, the lower officials could only make a heavy hand and quickly stop the war, they made such a big move, how could they press it, and the lower officials reported to the emperor It was also a helpless move, Lord Li, you said this...... Alas!"

Last night, when the Jin Wangfu was about to achieve victory and suppressed the Hanshui Gang, it was disturbed by the city defense army that rushed out halfway.

Now even the emperor knows about it, and he was furious and reprimanded Lu Yuanfeng fiercely.

Lu Yuanfeng hated Cui Ping in his heart, he didn't say anything about it, and he made a small report.

When he left just now, Lu Yunfeng glanced at Cui Ping coldly, which meant to tell Cui Ping that he Lu Yuanfeng remembered this account.

Cui Ping is powerful and powerful, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor and the imperial lieutenant Lu Shiqing, so he naturally will not be afraid, but he is a little speechless, and it is not a good thing to be targeted by Lu Yuanfeng.

Li Lingwu comforted: "It is our duty to be loyal to the emperor, don't worry, Commander Cui, what you do, the emperor will see it, and he will never let King Jin embarrass you." ”

Cui Ping arched his hand and said gratefully: "Your Excellency, thank you Lord Li for your teachings." ”

Li Lingwu nodded and said, "The emperor ordered you to deal with the follow-up matters, and I will also investigate the matter of the Hanshui Gang and drink together next time." ”

The two arched their hands at the gate of the palace and said goodbye.

Li Qing and Li Zhongyue, who were waiting at the gate of the palace, greeted them.

Li Qing asked, "Big brother, is there anything wrong?"

Li Lingwu shook his head and said, "Did you send someone to the west of the city to keep an eye on it?"

Li Qing nodded and said, "After receiving the news, I immediately sent someone to investigate, and there is no news of the Hanshui Gang for the time being, it seems that it is hidden." ”

Li Zhongyue asked: "Big brother, what is the emperor's attitude when the Hanshui Gang makes such a big move this time?"

Li Lingwu exhaled and sighed, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

Li Qing and Li Zhongyue looked at Li Lingwu, who was a little helpless, and understood in their hearts that it was estimated that the emperor still did not have the idea of completely dealing with the Hanshui Gang, and sighed secretly.

Smuggling, robbery, kidnapping, gathering crowds to fight, killing people and setting fires, the Hanshui Gang has almost done all the bad things that should be done, why does the emperor still want to keep the Hanshui Gang?

Is it because of Emperor Taizu?

Back then, he helped Emperor Taizu start from Yandi, march to the Central Plains, stay in Xiangyang City for a long time, and get strong support from local gang forces, and the Hanshui Gang is one of them.

Could it be that Emperor Taizu left any ancestral teachings?

Li Qing couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

Back at the door of the Li Mansion, Li Lingwu and the others saw Li Wuchang who was just about to go out.

Li Wuchang's face was happy, a little triumphant, and he walked with the wind, looking like there was something happy.

"Impermanence, what are you doing here?" asked Li Qing.

"I've seen my father, I've seen two uncles. After Li Wuchang saw Li Lingwu and the others, he put away his look and greeted him respectfully.

Then he explained: "I went out to buy some firecrackers. ”

Li Qingqi said: "What are you buying firecrackers for?"

Li Wuchang laughed and said, "Why is Uncle Qing making such a fuss, of course buying firecrackers is a celebration of joy." ”

After a pause, he whispered: "I heard that last night the Hanshui gang of bastards and the Jin Wangfu had a fight, these two groups have a grudge against me, they eat dogs, of course I want to celebrate." ”

After that, he showed a smug look.

Seeing that Li Lingwu and the others were a little speechless, Li Wuchang coughed lightly and said, "By the way, Uncle Qing, did you catch that Zhu Changlong?"

"Zhu Changlong?" Li Zhongyue asked with a frown.

Last night, the Hanshui Gang was led by Zhu Changlong, the second son of the Hanshui Gang?

Li Lingwu and the others didn't know who led the Hanshui Gang, why did Li Wuchang say Zhu Changlong's name so naturally?

Li Wuchang and Li Lingwu and the other three all stared at him suspiciously, knowing that he had leaked his mouth for a while, he coughed lightly and explained: "The grapevine is that I wish Changlong to make trouble." ”

Li Qing was very curious, and said: "I sent a lot of people to the west of the city to investigate, and a morning has passed, and I haven't even seen a little minion of the Hanshui Gang, but you know the person who is the leader of the Hanshui Gang through grapevine?"

Li Wuchang spread his hands and asked, "Uncle Qing, how many people have you sent?"

Li Qing replied: "Eight good hands. ”

Li Wuchang sneered and said: "Just eight? Let's settle an account, there are about 30 gangs of ruffians and scoundrels who eat in Dongshi, adding up to hundreds of people, the largest of which depends on me for food, the leader of the gang is called Fat Bear, who has some face in Dongshi, as long as I give an order, Fat Bear can gather all the 30 gangs in Dongshi, all of them will become my eyes and ears, and when I check the news, it should be more efficient than Uncle Qing's eight good hands!"

Li Wuchang does have this ability, but last night's incident was not found out by Fat Xiong, but Li Wuchang's personal experience.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, speechless.

Li Wuchang continued: "I not only know that it was Zhu Changlong who led the Hanshui Gang last night, but I also know that the Jin Wangfu led the team with two ruthless characters, one is called Cheng Laoer, and the other is called Mo Laosan. ”

After a pause, he looked at Li Qing and asked, "Uncle Qing, is it detailed enough?"

Li Lingwu and Li Zhongyue squinted at Li Wuchang thoughtfully.

Is Li Wuchang, a bastard like this, so powerful now?

Li Qing was stunned for a long time, smiled bitterly, and said, "Good boy, there is really you, since you are so powerful, you Uncle Qing and I really have something to ask you." ”

Li Wuchang nodded and motioned for Li Qing to ask casually.

Li Qingdao: "As far as I know, the relationship between the Jin Wangfu and the Hanshui Gang is very good, how can they fight in the west of the city?"

Li Wuchang cut off and said, "The friendship is good, why did the Jin Wangfu send people to Nanshan to kill the people of the Hanshui Gang?"

Li Qing said: "Even if there is a grudge between the two sides, whether it is the Jin Wangfu or the Hanshui Gang, they are relatively calm on weekdays, and it is impossible to make such a big move, their actions last night were too unusual." ”

Li Wuchang showed a meaningful smile and asked, "If I say that I planned this matter, will Uncle Qing hand me over?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Lingwu and the other three frowned at the same time.

Li Wuchang hurriedly said: "Just kidding, just kidding." ”

Then he grimaced, and continued, "I really don't know about this, but I can guess what is going on. ”

Then he invited the three of them to sit in the side hall of the front yard, smiled, and said, "I guess, which sinister guy has a grudge against the Jin Wangfu and the Hanshui Gang, so he secretly planned this matter." ”

After a pause, he continued: "This insidious guy has a lot of means, he lured the people of the Jin Wangfu and the Hanshui Gang to the west of the city by spreading rumors, assassination, sowing discord and other means, and then sent a few masters to pretend to be the people of the Jin Wangfu or the Hanshui Gang, taking advantage of the darkness, specifically looking for a lone attacker, and unscrupulously provoking the anger of both sides. ”

Li Wuchang finished speaking in one breath, took a sip of tea, and secretly observed Li Lingwu's expression.

Li Lingwu's expressions changed greatly.

They feel that the sinister guy in Li Wuchang's mouth is Li Wuchang himself!

and the Jin Wangfu and the Hanshui Gang?...... Li Wuchang conforms.

There are a lot of means?...... Li Wuchang conforms.

There are masters under him?...... Li Wuchang is also in line.

And now Li Wuchang has a smug look, like a great revenge, and he let out a bad breath.

It's ridiculous!

The atmosphere was eerie.

Suddenly, Li Lingwu laughed and said, "Then according to the impermanence of speculation, what is that sinister guy doing now?"

Li Wuchang also smiled: "Father, I'll just guess randomly, you don't have to care." As for what he's doing, I don't know, but if I had to guess, he'd be hiding in a corner right now, or maybe like me, thinking of buying firecrackers to celebrate. ”

After a pause, he continued: "No matter what, he shouldn't make a move for the time being, how do you say it...... By the way, watching the fire from the other side, I think he is watching the fire from the other side now, and when the time is ripe, he will come out and take advantage of the fire to rob. So Uncle Qing, you must keep an eye on it now, maybe when this kid suddenly appears, you will catch him when the time comes, and it will be a great achievement!"

After finishing speaking, Li Wuchang glanced at Li Qing with slanted eyes, as if smiling.

Seeing that everyone looked solemn, Li Wuchang stood up and said, "Father, I still have some small things to do, if there is nothing else, then I will retire." ”

Li Lingwu glanced at him and waved his hand.

Li Wuchang bowed and retreated.

"Big brother, do you think it's impermanence that makes ghosts? This kid has both motivation and strong strength, I remember that he has two six-rank masters under him, and that kid is so bold that he has a lot of ghost ideas. Li Zhongyue frowned.

Li Lingwu didn't answer, turned his head to look at Li Qing, smiled, and said, "Brother Qing, this kid was provoking you just now!"

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "It is very likely that last night's incident was caused by that kid, and it was carefully planned, and every step was calculated. ”

Li Lingwu said: "You two will call Li Hu again, in addition to investigating the matter of the Hanshui Gang, we will also see if you can catch that kid's tail, good boy." ”

Li Qing and Li Zhongyue gave up their promises.
