The pattering cold rain turned into the warm sunshine of the day. When the sun rose in the sky on the seventh day of September, it had been sunny in Jiangning City for several days.

God's grace has temporarily improved the muddy road conditions in the city. The improvement of public security and the official convening of the Heroes Conference have brought a lot more pedestrians to the streets of Jiangning. Now, the closer we go to the city of Jiangning, the more people gather.

The more crowded the place becomes. Many restaurants and teahouses that originally seemed nervous are now filled with guests, and even though there will be some small disturbances from time to time, large-scale disturbances are always temporary.

Stopped.

Around Chen time, Yan Yunzhi walked out of the inn where he lived.

The girl from the Assassin's family was wearing a relatively simple gray dress, her long hair was wrapped with a blue scarf, she was holding an old broad-sheathed sword, and her face was slightly disguised. At first glance,

He is like an ordinary and unruly young man who has just entered the world. Although he is a little short and thin, in this day and age, many people do not have enough to eat.

It has been several days since the ribs that were broken on the night of chaos in Jinlou have been repaired. There is no big hindrance in my daily movements, but I still feel pain if I do strenuous activities.

That chaotic night made her feel more and more clearly the real gap between herself and the masters of the green forest. But on the other hand, the experience between life and death also more solidly chipped away at the first pain caused by anger in her heart.

After a round of impulsive emotions, I can now feel the surrounding environment with a more calm and rational attitude.

In the past few days, she has been walking on the nearby streets. She no longer has the sharp aura that was evident in the past few days. She is more like an ordinary person who naturally blends into the surroundings. If the Jinlou incident happens again, don't say anything.

It can 100% escape the observation of masters like Jin Yongsheng and Li Yanfeng, but at least the probability of hiding is increased.

I also have a deeper understanding of the many practice details of the "Tan Gong Sword" passed down from my family.

I bought a few copies of the day's newsprint at a nearby teahouse, and then went to the nearby teahouse to read newspapers and have breakfast.

The sun was warm at this time, and the teahouse in the early morning was noisy, and there were many people from all walks of life looking at the newsprint and talking loudly. The newsprint in Jiangning City had just appeared half a year ago, and there had been no serious reports in the past few months.

Most of them were either hearsay tidbits or pulp novels from the southwest. It wasn’t until the Heroes Conference was held in September that a lot of the pages were turned into the life stories of a certain hero who had emerged this time, and it became slightly more targeted.

.

This is a propaganda technique learned from the southwest last year. It was mostly paid for by one party in the Fairness Party, but the inflammatory rhetoric and fabricated life stories, coupled with some full-blown stories similar to "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon"

The ritualistic terminology can still make the busy people in the city excited.

Coupled with the black list information collected at the end of some newspapers with profitable bounty information, it is enough for the Green Forest people in the city to piece together a large outline of the rivers and lakes.

People at the next few tables were discussing these things.

"...Yesterday afternoon, the King Elephant Buddha who appeared on the Bingliu Arena, let me tell you, is incredible. He became famous in the southwest last year... Old Man Liutong specially commented on his martial arts back then.

…”

"...It's very, very true. This King Elephant Buddha is nicknamed 'Quan Chi'. His martial arts skills are really amazing. He has already reached the level of a grandmaster... A few days ago, King Ping Ping had an 'Iron Fist' Ni Po, known as two

After practicing his fists to the extreme, he was the favorite to win the championship, but when he met Wang Xiangfo, he was beaten to a bloody man...I couldn't stand up..."

"...The martial arts competition has just begun, and the master list cannot be ranked yet, but the gambling card of Yuanyangfang vaguely revealed that Wang Xiangfo can be included in the top ten on the master list. The black list based on bounties that was listed a few days ago,

The boss is nothing more than this position..."

"...Hey, hey, you may not have done a lot of things on the black list. The person at the top of the list now killed something...that murderer under Liu Guangshi, although the news paper said that his lightness kung fu was comparable to that of the 'Jackdaw'

, but I don’t know the specific name, how can this compare to... air to air..."

"...The second-ranked serial thief is not empty, right? This guy loves to kill everyone with a bloody knife. It is said in the green forest that his sword skills are as good as those who were the master of swords in the past... I think Wang Xiangfo may not be able to beat him.

Pass this chain of bandits..."

"...One uses fists, and the other uses swords. Of course, at first glance, it seems that the one who uses swords is more fierce..."

"...The black list is just for money, you people are just bored...Doing evil means being ruthless, and the reward for strong martial arts is not necessarily high. For example, if you kill the son of the southwest demon who has no power to restrain a chicken,

It doesn’t take much effort, you must be the best in the world in offering rewards. Moreover, this black list only lists bad guys like Jiangnan, it is not objective..."

"...It's very, very true. If we talk about rewards, do you know Zou Xu? In the past two years, Liu Guangshi and General Liu have worked hard to please the Southwest. They bought countless military supplies and spent more than tens of millions of taels. What's the difference between Liu Guangshi and him in the Southwest?

He said, if you kill Zou Xu, you will get 20% of the money back, and I will... think about how much Zou Xu is worth? Can you say that Zou Xu is the best in the world? Can he work with Master Lin? "

"...Hey, I have something to say about this. If you really want to talk about spending money to be on the black list, then the number one on the black list will actually convince the public... Think about it, who can be more hated than Mr. Ning from the southwest?

He can kill the emperor. In order to offer a reward for him, the Central Plains sent out a million troops. Then you see, the inner demon and the leader are compatible, right? "Iron Arm" Zhou Tong and the inner demon back then were forgetful.

It is said that when they first met, they had a three-punch agreement. Both parties went all out and used the three strongest punches in their lives. After the three punches, no one could do anything to the other; later, Lu Tuo, the "King of Fierce Hell",

Even though he was so powerful, he also met his inner demon and was killed directly by a move of 'Fantian Seal'..."

"...The inner demon and the leader are indeed comparable in terms of martial arts. However, Mr. Ning has been presiding over government affairs in the southwest these years and has not made many moves. It is inevitable that he has regressed..."

"... Let me be fair... The inner demon is just a special case. The ones on the bottom are really piled up with money. It just depends on whether the enemy has a lot of money. The black list is nothing more than attracting hatred... Look at those dozen

The two in the position are the five-foot Y demon and the four-foot Y demon. The younger ones are doing dirty things, like picking flowers. They use some sweat medicine and sneak into the room at night. How high can their martial arts skills be..."

"...That's not what you're saying. These five feet and four feet are not ordinary lewd thieves. Their sects are very powerful——"

"...Don't talk nonsense. Where in the world can there be a sect of prostitutes and thieves?"

"...You don't understand this...if there is no big Y demon, how can we give birth to little Y demons!?"

"...Hahahahahahahahahahaha..."

People were chattering and being clever, and the teahouse was filled with an atmosphere of joy. In this atmosphere, Yan Yunzhi took a rough look at the newsprint and the reward for the two Yin demons, and quietly took the paper that smelled of ink.

Covered.

There is not much serious news in these news papers, but as long as the reward is still there, it may prove that the strange guy is still alive.

After a while, the two brothers Han Ping and Han Yun, who had made an appointment before, came up from downstairs. They also had their own tasks in Jiangning City. Recently, the three of them met every one or two days and gave each other some advice.

Yan Yunzhi brought some relatively reliable sources.

However, since the Fair King He Wen entered the city at the end of August, there were not many bizarre changes in the official information in Jiangning City. On the first day of September, He Wen raised the next few key issues at the Fair Party’s internal meeting. By the third day of the Lunar New Year,

At the second meeting, various forces began to put forward their own demands one after another, and then all parties began to negotiate and connect in private.

In the general direction, the basic desire for the five parties to gather together, seek common ground while reserving differences, and twist all their forces into one rope still exists. The solution is of course to refer to the experience of the Southwest and form a representative conference where all parties "discuss", and the five parties

Each party stepped back from their demands and worked out a basic gameplay that everyone could tolerate. This is human nature on the official side, and it is also the most likely thing to happen next.

Once passed, the cohesion of the Fair Party will further increase, and the forces of five or more parties that used to fight independently will be temporarily brought under a unified regime, and they may truly become one of the strongest forces in the world.

, in terms of numbers, they even vaguely surpass the Chinese regime in the southwest, and they are not weak in terms of combat power.

Naturally, some unexpected undercurrents also exist.

For example, the Zhou and Shang forces, the "King of Yama" who committed murder and acted in the most extreme manner, were also the most irritating in these meetings. After He Wen raised several basic issues of the Fair Party in the meeting on the first day of the new year, the rest

Most of the three families had ulterior motives, and they used words and mud to make jokes. However, looking back, they all put forward their own demands and showed a vague gesture of concession and negotiation. However, only the Zhou and Shang faction directly said at the meeting that "it must be corrected".

Too positive, and even said that the attitude of other companies was not good and their work was not pure enough.

In the following days, the "King of Yama" group also repeated this argument. It is said that their attitudes in private were quite tough, and some even said, "If you want to merge, just follow our method."

”, becoming the most disliked party among the five major factions.

In the past days, people criticized the extremeness of King Yama, but privately, some unpopular news came out. It is said that Zhou Shang was always very concerned about Mr. Xianning's ideas. After careful consideration, he thought what

Both Wen and Ning Yi are better than their mother-in-law and have too little understanding of people's human nature, so they will inevitably fail to achieve anything. Therefore, they chose such extreme means of action. But at this time, it seems that such a possibility is really possible.

Of course, the most important consideration for something like an idea on a practical level is whether it is feasible. The extremes of Zhou and Shang brought the first points deduction to the "King of Yama" faction. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, a general meeting in Jiangning City

After three rounds, people believed that the most likely development would be for the five parties to compromise and then form a political power. If this failed, it might be He Wen, Gao Chang, Xu Zhaonan, and Shi Baofeng who divided the Zhou Dynasty among the four parties.

For one thing, please remove the thorns before combining them.

Because of this speculation, for several days, some small forces that originally relied on Zhou Shang were attracted by other parties. However, Zhou Shang was unmoved. Some people even firmly believed that once a war started, his people would

The more you fight, the more you fight.

Relatively speaking, Wang Hewen, the fair man who had had various rumors before entering the city, has a generally stable style. Except for being a little tougher when raising issues, he has been listening carefully to the opinions of all parties in the past few days.

These words were deeply rooted in the essence of He Zong Lian Heng. His actions gave all parties a great sense of security. As long as the King of Fairness does not commit suicide, the overall situation of the Fair Party's alliance can always be preserved, even if there are people like Zhou Shang.

No matter how bad it is, stabbing the head is nothing more than killing him, but if King Fairness himself really has some deviant ideas and the entire Fairness Party banner falls into pieces, then that is a real possibility of consequences.

"...However, the King of Fairness has not revealed his full plan yet. Everyone thinks that it may be better to wait until everyone's attitude is clear, and then come up with a less offending method for everyone to discuss...

"

Among the two "brothers", the "brother" Yue Yinping, whose pseudonym is Han Ping, told Yan Yunzhi these messages clearly and logically while eating breakfast.

"... As for the situation at your home, we also specifically inquired about it. Yan Tie and Yan Erxia were recommended by Shi Baofeng and had already participated in the second meeting of the Fair Party... Under such circumstances

, whether it’s for face or dignity, I don’t think Shi Baofeng will let the Yan family suffer too much. As long as you don’t show up, Miss Yan, the Shi family will be the party to blame, so you don’t have to worry too much about your family.

Okay, just watch this good show with peace of mind."

After the chaos in Jinlou that night, Yan Yunzhi's mentality changed to a certain extent.

She is seventeen years old this year and has experienced some things in the past. She came from Yanjiabao all the way. Generally speaking, she is certainly proud of her temperament. However, the changes in Tongshan, coupled with the many discussions after entering the city, made her

She was very uncomfortable, and the frivolity shown by Shi Weiyang, who might later become her husband, was unbearable for her. She ran away in a rage and wanted to do something, kill Li Yanfeng or Long Aotian

Take revenge and get rid of the two culprits who put you in such embarrassment.

But the battle at Jinlou finally made her see clearly the gap between fantasy and reality. Li Yanfeng just made a casual blow, and his ribs were broken, making it almost impossible to escape. The young man named Long Aotian and Li Yanfeng

The evil spirit displayed in the battle, and even the various postures displayed by the masters on the long street were things that she could not touch in a short time. Only then did she finally understand where she was currently.

where.

In the past, I practiced "Tan Gong Sword Technique" at home. My parents often said that the way to assassinate is to attack the strong with the weak. As long as you find the right opportunity and observe keenly, even a martial arts master will not be unable to kill if he is caught off guard. She was like this before.
To be continued...
