On September 22nd, early morning arrived as promised.

After dawn, there was a brief intermission in the hustle and bustle in Jiangning City. People who had been disturbed by all kinds of chaos in the early morning began to get up one after another and cautiously went out to inquire about the progress of the situation.

In some hotels and inns, some business travelers and green forest people also started the first round of coming and going, and exchanged various first-hand information during breakfast time.

Countless messages, true and false, are confusingly mixed in the city at this moment. Just like every day in the past, truth and rumors are mixed together. For a large number of ordinary people, it is difficult to see the outline of the situation clearly until the end.

In the northern end of the city, rumors about the King of Fairness and the Assassin fighting for 300 rounds and seriously injuring his opponent with Fan Tianyin and the news that King of Fairness was assassinated and dying were spread among people at the same time. In the south of the city, the military coup and certain events were spreading.

The news that the great king launched an army into the city and was finally stopped by the leader of the Great Light has spread widely.

Close to the inner city, some green forest masters have been training as usual and heard no less than five peak duels at the dining table, including Lin Zongwu versus King of Fairness, Meng Zhuotao challenging Lin Zongwu, King of Fairness won with a scoreless score of one against four.

Negative and so on, and so on. And these news spread for a while, and when the sun gets brighter in the morning, some key information will become clear in people's discussions and comparisons.

The break between the five kings seems to have become an irreversible reality. From last night to this morning, dozens of assassinations broke out among the five parties of the Fairness Party against each other's middle and senior leaders, which was the main axis of the riot throughout the night.

Before the sun rose today, the five kings left Jiangning City one after another, which indicated that this confrontation had entered an irreversible abyss.

Last night was just the beginning of everything.

It will take people in the city a lot of time to gradually digest this information. Some people are starting to make preparations to leave the city, but more people are just watching in silence. This is certainly not a good signal.

, but how many days in Jiangnan today are spent in a peaceful state without any bumps?

In some inns, there are also some warriors who are still confused: "What should we do about the martial arts tournament...?"

"...There are only the last few games left. They will be finished, right?"

"...Maybe these five members of the Fair Party will send out their own experts to compete in the arena."

When people talk about this, they gradually become excited again: "Oh...that's really a fight between dragons and tigers."

The warriors looked at each other in confusion, looking forward to the coming of this fight between dragon and tiger.

Some of the more precise news has already reached the ears of messengers from more hidden and high-level forces in the city.

"Jiangnan is about to start a fight."

In the north of the city, in a courtyard belonging to Gaochang's territory, Zuo Xiuquan had a simple breakfast, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then looked at the people in the hall, including Yin Ping and Yue Yun.

Carrying the elite troops of Wei.

"He Wen worked so hard to set up Jiang Ning's stage, and now he is telling all parties in the world his thoughts. But there is a clear line between words and actions. It seems that today, the King of Justice will

This line has been completely crossed, and the other parties can no longer be ambiguous on this matter. The internal rupture will be clearly displayed in front of the world... Everyone, many people will die today. Let's see.

Please leave carefully after the play is over, my life is in your hands."

After he said this, some people in the room nodded and patted their chests, and some looked calm. Yue Yun, who was following his sister, nodded while showing a confused look: "Then... what will He Wen do?"

Zuo Xiuquan laughed: "Didn't he make it very clear to the four kings yesterday?"

Yue Yun scratched his head, confused.

…

When the first ray of the sun rose, the people who participated in the chaos in the early morning seemed to be driven away by the sunlight and returned to their original places one after another. On the one hand, they summarized the information about the chaos last night, and on the other hand, they began to formally accept the series of changes in the early morning.

The impact and significance it contains.

Yesterday afternoon, when He Wen put forward his own ideas and Zhou Shang threw up the table in anger, it can still be said that it was the insistence of one or a few people.

When a clear platform is released, there will be clear feedback from the outside. Even within the "King of Fairness" party, there are still all kinds of lobbying and persuasion happening at the same time.

At night and early in the morning, the first round of fighting and confrontation occurred at the same time, but even at that moment, as long as there was a powerful person who could mediate, and the King of Fairness changed his mind, and the five of them had another round of negotiations in private, things would still be the same.

There is a possibility of elimination.

In many political struggles, both sides need to maintain sufficient deterrence. It is not uncommon for each other to be unwilling to retreat until the last moment. Is the fairness king's willfulness determined or a sky-high price to force the four people?

People at the middle level can always remain suspicious of the political strategy of retreat.

As long as there is no clear-cut large-scale war, there is always the possibility of things turning around.

However, as the five kings left Jiangning City one after another, many people were finally able to understand that there was no room for change.

As the morning fog rose, Lu Xian and Li Duanwu, who had witnessed the fighting in the south of the city, also brought the young people and their families of Lijiacun back to Fangshi where they had left.

People began to go home noisily, and the tired women placed their sleeping children at home, and then began to boil water for cooking. The young men under Li Duanwu began to build the second round of barricades under the command of Li Duanwu. Lu Xianzai

I sat by the river at the intersection of the street and was in a daze for a while.

After a while, Li Duanwu came over, with more than a dozen of his most capable subordinates gathered behind him. The old man patted him on the shoulder, gave him two steamed buns, and then sat down next to him.

"...He Shuangying is dead. It's still too late to change his mind."

While Lu Xian was eating steamed buns, the old man spoke next to him.

"He Shuangying is dead, but not all of his subordinates are dead. He will have to report for duty later." Lu Xian tore up the steamed buns, stuffed them into his mouth, and spoke slowly, "Besides, He Shuangying has already said hello, and He Fu dare not

Let us out of the city again."

"...Do you want to look for someone in another direction?"

"... It costs another round of money to leave the city now." Lu Xian sighed, "Besides, Uncle Duanwu, there is going to be chaos in Jiangnan. Lijia Village is on King Zhou's territory. Where should we go?"

In the early morning, the old man was silent for a moment: "In troubled times, as long as there are people under you, you can always find a place to take refuge. Don't worry about that."

"Are you taking refuge with He Wen? Uncle Duanwu, I can't tell what the outcome of this battle will be..."

"He Wen said that he had the support of Southwest. According to the previous two encounters, Southwest... really has people coming."

"Perhaps he has the support of Southwest." Lu Xian looked into the distance, put a piece of steamed bun into his mouth, chewed it: "But regardless of Southwest or the Reading Club, the prescription given to us is to let these kings and leaders

, Don’t engage in corruption for personal gain...Uncle Duanwu, if the Fairness Party was first established, this would be a good thing, but now that everyone has a hilltop and their own property, is there really another round of fairness?"

When he said this, he sighed and turned to look at the streets behind him: "No matter how powerful the black flag in the southwest is, the distant water cannot withstand the immediate emergency. It is nothing more than verbal support for the King of Justice. We have thousands of mud legs here.

Son, now that we have such a good market and houses, if we want to be fair again, who is willing? Uncle Duanwu, if you give an order and say that these houses are no longer needed, in the future they will be really fair with those beggars whose families have been ruined. You

Speaking of Zhuzhu and others, will they still listen to us?"

"Then let's this time..."

Lu Xian was silent for a moment.

"It is said that the most difficult thing in life is to make a choice. But Uncle Duanwu, this is what I think. If Black Flag comes out one day, he may have the upper hand. But now, if He Wen does this, he must be

He is going to be beaten. Although He Wen's principle sounds interesting, King Zhou... has he ever suffered a loss? Even though he talks about benevolence, justice and morality, there are so many people, who doesn't want to rush in and grab more benefits. Even if according to the

According to the book club, in the future the territory will be large enough and those who take advantage will only enjoy it and become the second Fang La. At least that will be what happens after Wu Qimei, Tie Yan and others are killed..."

He paused slightly: "Today, Jiangning City will be in chaos. Uncle Duanwu, in fact, the moment I ordered you to come back here, I had already made a decision. If a man is alive and wants to get benefits, who can not fight for others?"

, since we have boarded King Zhou’s ship, we can only fight to carve out a piece of the world, so that in the future... we can have bargaining chips. And..."

Having said this, Lu Xian reached out and pulled out the long knife he carried with him, and looked at the sharp edge on the knife in the morning light.

"And...Uncle Duanwu, you have seen Master Lin's martial arts skills. They say that there are many masters in the world. In fact, I...don't want to stay out of this fight between dragons and tigers..."

Practicing martial arts with swords and fighting for their lives, the green forest people in this world have actually been lowly people for tens of hundreds of years. Even if there are one or two world-famous knight-errant assassins in a certain period, most of them are literati or

They exist as vassals of the political power. Like the iron-armed Zhou Dong, even though he is rumored to be the best in the world in the green forest, in the prosperous age, he still cannot get an official position.

Lu Xian has been practicing martial arts for half his life, and most of the time, he just fights for survival. He led the people in Lijia Village to go out and fight, and became an elite thug under Wei Xunwen. In terms of his martial arts skills and fighting experience, his combat power is also comparable.

He is a top-notch person, but in the past, he was more accustomed to seeing himself as a clawed eagle dog.

But it is undeniable that with Ning Yi's bad propaganda and the advent of troubled times in recent years, the current chaotic years are indeed the most nourishing period for the green forest high rollers. Since the grandest martial arts tournament in the southwest has been held,

After two terms, if He Wen wants to attract people's attention, he has to hold a martial arts competition. These days, although the political waters are constantly stirring, green forest people gather in the city, and there are noisy discussions about the white and underworld.

The clamor and those seemingly romantic battles have indeed become part of the culture for a period of time.

Even though Lu Xian can clearly understand that his personal abilities are limited, he can't help but have heroic imagination occasionally. Especially in the early hours of this morning, the "Measuring Sky Ruler" Meng Peach Assassin King Shajia showed his skill. It really made him feel that he was beyond his reach, and as Lin Zongwu showed his strength, the heroic and domineering spirit of the world's number one also made Lu Xian's heart surge with passion.

Over the years, he has been diligently improving his martial arts skills. There were also many times when he was active on the front line of fighting desperately. He was also proud of his own skills. However... at this moment, he finally saw that such a state existed in the world.

He made a decision and had already thought clearly: In these troubled times, if he still fails to be courageous and diligent when faced with things, how can he have a place like his own in this world in the future?

What's more, the elite of the Great Light Sect led by the holy leader Lin Zongwu has decided to take action, and now it is a four-on-one situation. In the future, tens of millions of members of the Fair Party will fight in a melee, and the results may be unpredictable on the battlefield, but in today's Jiangning City, how big a wave can He Wen's meager power leave behind?

He raised his long sword, stood up suddenly, and explained his choice to more than ten young people from Lijia Village behind him. These people immediately drew their swords and responded. They have been following Wei Xuwen's orders all these days, and they also Lu Xian may have had some things to think about at this time, but as far as they were concerned, there were not many problems to contend with.

It's nothing more than killing people in the past.

"...Today's matter, there are masters from all walks of life rushing forward to fight. You will obey the orders and seek to protect yourself first, and then wait for the opportunity to make achievements...After we set off, the rest will guard the barricades and wait for peace here in the future. , several nearby markets will all belong to us. Everyone..."

He raised his blade:

"Go and seek wealth—"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Hearing the commotion here, everyone in the market place put down their work and looked here. Someone waved his hand, and the young men, women and children who were left behind saw the dozen or so people who were the pillars carrying steel knives. , to seek prosperity.

Lu Xian turned around and looked back, and then looked back again. He stretched out his hand and pointed this way and cursed: "You bitch! You are not allowed to poop on the roadside!"

After struggling all night, the child squatting on the roadside to defecate rubbed his eyes, then ran away holding his buttocks.

A group of bloodthirsty swordsmen laughed and cursed for a while, then walked towards the distance that symbolized the fight.

But everything in the world comes from fighting, so they firmly believe that this time, they will return with a full load...
To be continued...
