Chapter 1246 Shadow (Part 2)
At night in Fuzhou, one end of Yinqiao Square became lively, while the other end gradually dimmed.
Yinqiao Fangfang City occupies a large area. It is connected to waterways on both sides, and the waterways are connected to Shuimen on the east side. This was originally one of the main fish markets in Fuzhou City. When the imperial court developed this area two years ago, it saw that the industry in Jinqiaofang was good, so it cut a section of Yinqiaofang as a supporting night market, and then built a section in the cheap land at the other end of the river to make up for the fish market.
However, over time, the night market section has developed well, but the newly designated fish market on the other side of the river has never developed. Fishmongers still gather in the back section of Yinqiaofang, cutting off their retail business and focusing on wholesale. After that, the land price in Yinqiaofang doubled. Although the fish market in the second half was more crowded and messy, the landlords earned more, and the fishmongers' business also benefited from being more precise. In the end, except for some retail fishmongers, they found other fishmongers. After finding a place to set up a stall, everyone was happy.
The wholesale fish market does not have much night business. After the sun goes down, some old and dim lanterns fall among the messy and smelly shops. Looking at the light of the night market not far away, it seems like a completely different Two worlds.
In order to isolate the stench, there are some shops that wholesale dried fish products near the night market, and there are also some low-end restaurants opened for fish market workers. At night, many shops are closed.
The Fang City system was at its peak during the Tang Dynasty. During the Wu Dynasty, curfews were rarely observed, and the streets named after Fang were not as oppressive as in the past. After Yinqiaofang is divided into two sections, there is a bridge connecting it at the middle end.
At around 12:00, Pu Xingui and Qian Dingzhong came here through the bridge on one side. The two of them looked at the surrounding situation, then walked towards a dimly lit fish shop and sat at the door of the shop. It was a middle-aged man who looked away for a moment and looked a little angry on his face.
"The Fish King is so polite, how are you doing these days?"
The other party is a local snake in the fish market. In the past, when Yinqiao Square was full of fish stalls, he had so many clerks that he could be called The local leader. Later, when the imperial court developed Yinqiaofang, this kind of low-end market tyrant with rough methods was somewhat incompatible with the external needs of the night market. There were several frictions in the process. After that, he was seriously beaten twice by the government, and then he considered himself unlucky. The site in front of Yinqiaofang was given up.
This also resulted in a big grudge.
Seeing the arrival of Pu and Qian, the other party looked at them twice and his face softened a little.
"Why is there such a big fuss?"
Pu Xingui thought to himself that I don't know anything, but he said: "Aren't you just trying to vent your anger on Brother Fish King?"
< br>In the city, only an hour had passed since the death of the chief catcher Song Xiaoming, and some places were in chaos. With his status as the fish king, he must have heard about what happened. He had been beaten by the government before, including those like Song Xiaoming. Now that the court had eaten such a big turtle, he could really feel relieved and raise his eyebrows.
There was not much expression on his face, and he said: "What happens next is terrible."
"It was expected."
"...Pudongzi, come here, do you have any orders? "
"I don't dare, I just happen to have something, and I want to use the Fish King's eyes to take a look."
"You can go to the building opposite..."< br>
The other party said and handed over a key.
This Fish King is originally a local snake. Even though his power has been defeated, his control over the fish market is not as reliable as before. However, several wooden buildings in the middle of the market are under his control. Several of them are on higher ground than the surroundings, and are close to bridges, waterways, and the fish market in the past is in complex conditions. They have always been the best places for green forest gangsters to avoid pursuit or to observe the surrounding situation. Nowadays, ordinary green forest people in the city Of course, he didn't dare to go against the government, but for rebels like Pu Xingui, it was a treasure land.
He took the key and was about to cross the street. At the other end of his field of vision, three figures appeared in the dim light. After giving the key, the Fish King, who was about to return to the shop, turned around. Pu Xingui and the three figures opposite him The figures looked at each other and were immediately stunned.
Coming around the corner from the stone bridge on the side, one of the figures looking for the Fish King was Hei Pi.
Something is wrong...
The person on the other side had already raised his hand and smiled: "Hello, brother...why...are you here..." There was obvious alertness and vigilance in his eyes.
Things happened so coincidentally that Pu Xingui was suspicious at first, but when he saw the look in the other person's eyes, he felt proud for some reason. He hesitated for a moment and then smiled: "Guess? ”
"I guess you are a dead ghost..."
"..."
The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and Chen Shuangran went to the Fish King and whispered a few words: "What I said before..."
"It has been arranged for a long time..."
"About soon..."
After that, he walked towards Pu Xingui, and he also wanted to use the Fish King's territory to look out. Pu Xingui and Qian Dingzhong looked at each other. At this time, the night was rolling, and the light in the distance was flowing. Nearby, there were only the occasional sounds of night shift workers in the fish market. Pu Xingui even suspected that Heipi wanted to take advantage of others. Kill yourself, but after thinking about it for a moment, I finally felt that it was unlikely. He opened the door of the shop, and the five of them walked into the dark and messy shop.
"Ni Po, your subordinate, has just done a big thing. Can he run away?"
"It's been...an hour. Let's go take a bath in the brothel. I drank a lot of flowers and wine...my brother is much more worried.”
"Men always have to think more when doing things."
"A manly man...mother-in-law. You will be beaten on the boat."
Chen Shuangran smiled and reached out to brush Pu Xingui's arm. On one side, his fingers seemed to slide on it, and Pu Xingui turned his head to look at it: "My sister is a woman who is not inferior to men."
At this moment, Pu Xingui does not intend to argue with the other party verbally. sharp. As the person who took the initiative in Fuzhou City this time, Chen Shuangran had a background that no one expected, and his actions so far have indeed seemed smart. Such people are more arrogant and have nothing to say on the road. But she, Cao Jinlong and others have already decided on a strategy:
With several masters as the core, she will use the many green forest heroes who came to Fuzhou this time as smoke screens. In the end, everyone may be in trouble. She became an outcast in her actions, but before that, she would use the reputation of Pu family and Cao alliance leader to deal with these green forest people. To win over and find a way out, even if Chen Shuangran does something great by then, she has already hated all the heroes in the green forest. As long as they are not dead in this chaos, they will naturally take advantage of her. From this point of view, this is a conspiracy to push people along with the current and offer flowers to Buddha. The little black man who is so cruel and has no regard for people's lives will not understand.
Not to mention her actions in the past two days, which seemed to be a good round of attacks with the little emperor's strategy of provoking divisions. However, she did not discuss it with her uncle in the city before taking action. Pu Xingui knew that there was something wrong. Several people expressed dissatisfaction with it yesterday. Sure enough, as long as your competitors are stubborn and arrogant, you can gain something even if you do nothing.
The two parties stepped onto the second floor of the house. After Pu Xingui said his polite words, he decided not to be defensive anymore. At this moment, he saw Chen Shuangran standing aside and picked up a telescope in the room. , while speaking:
"...A few days ago, Han Yuan met two young knights with good martial arts skills in Jianou, and they said they wanted to come to Fuzhou. After wandering around, they formed a good relationship. Recently, they were hanging out at Yinqiaofang Night Market. No... I happened to pass by today and came to test his quality..."
"..."< br>
In the midsummer, the wooden building next to the fish market felt extremely stuffy inside, but at this moment, Pu Xingui frowned, and the temperature of the entire room seemed to have dropped several degrees. He was a rebel who was being hunted by the imperial court and had been running around for a year. Naturally, he knew that such a coincidence was definitely not a good thing. It was most likely a deliberate malice, but how could it be possible...
On the side, Chen Shuangran wiped the dust on the old telescope, leaned against one eye, and then put it down again: "By the way...Brother came here, why...are you really unwilling to tell me? ”
“……”
< br>Far away in Fangshi, a fight and riot had begun...
...
At Xu's moment, Ning Ji and Qu Longjun were talking about that. The topic of a bandit named Ni Po.
"...Speaking of which, I met this guy once when I first arrived in Jiangning..."
"Huh?"
"...His martial arts skills are actually pretty good. , I remember that when I first arrived outside Jiangning, he was dueling with a madman from Xu Zhaonan who was playing Shen Da... This man had a solid boxing practice, and his basic skills were Very good, the bottom set... I have also practiced well, I think it is quite satisfactory, but with the addition of fists, I can really stand shoulder to shoulder with ordinary masters... And the potential has not yet reached the bottom..."
"Then... How about comparing yourself to me?"
"Follow me, haha, then...how to put it...this is outrageous..."
"...Huh?" Qu Longjun was stunned for a moment, unable to understand.
Among the pedestrians next to the main entrance of Yinqiaofang, a strong man was waving away his extra cloak in summer and striding towards the city.
Ning Ji felt a little confused for a moment. After killing the chief criminal officer of the Criminal Department, he still dared to walk like this on the street? Are the police officers in Fuzhou so useless?
At the same moment, the young officer who was pushed out by the street department to maintain order came forward with a water and fire stick: "Hey, what are you..."
The smell of blood filled the air, and he strode forward. The vicious man waved his left arm horizontally, and with a bang, the man flew out with his stick and rolled on the ground. Ning Ji's face instantly wrinkled. To be fair, although the other person looked at him suspiciously several times while walking around, his overall impression of this person was still favorable, because this person was not an old man in the yamen. Although Youzi only had a job in the Street Department, based on his daily observations, he had listened to some of the public opinion propaganda of "respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians" in Fujian, so he was quite subjective in his daily work.
Although it was only a little bit, Ning Ji also felt that the thing exuding from this person was somewhat similar to the feeling given by Chengdu in the southwest.
Of course, there is nothing to say about the murderer. Ning Ji looked around. Speaking of which, it had been more than an hour since this man assassinated the chief police officer. Now he suddenly appeared again. According to common sense, he should have been accidentally discovered by some police officer and chose the direction of Yinqiaofang. Escape, then the large force of the Criminal Department should appear at any time, and then chase the opponent to the end of the square. I have a bit of a crush on the little emperor, but now I have to consider breaking into the enemy, so there is no need to push forward, just stay aside with Qu Longjun.
There is no problem with this speculation. However, as the figure got closer and closer, and even punched each other with fists while striding forward, and as the blood surged and climbed, Ning Ji's eyes gradually became filled with "I don't understand." ”, and even the confusion and absurdity of “What have I done that is so evil again?”
The other party's eyes were mainly locked on Qu Longjun, and he did not pay too much attention to the gradually deformed expression on the face of the puppy next to him. The steps under his feet may seem ordinary, but in fact they are mysterious. According to his master, they are a combination of the legendary Taoist Yu's step-on-the-gang step fighting, which stimulates energy and blood with every step and reaches the peak. He gained enlightenment through fighting, and at this glorious moment, he was about to strike a powerful blow.
At the seventh step, he had already reached in front of the opponent and reached out to grab the fair-faced handsome young man.
He said: "Hey——"
On the street, the sound spread like thunder.
In front of him, the handsome young man put one hand behind his back, with a contemptuous smile on his face, and even slightly moved towards him.
This was an unexpected moment. Ni Po's grasp could break the bluestone. If it turned into a fist, it would be even more powerful. There was also a moment of surprise in his eyes. In the spread of the word "hello", A mixed sentence: "I wipe..."
No one knew that at this moment, cold sweat broke out from Ning Ji's back.
The fierce wind of fists whizzed towards Ni Po. Ni Po lowered his arms and made a block. After the figure's hard fight, he suddenly turned his fists into claws and grabbed Ni Po's elbows and feet. Ni Po's kick hit Ni Po's thigh like a cannonball. Ni Po received a hard kick, and his other arm slammed down with an iron arm. His arms were not only hardened arms, but also had fine iron rods that were strong enough to open steel knives. With this swing, the stone slab was about to be smashed. However, what he didn't expect was that the opponent's arm was lifted up, and he was forced to use it in a slightly disadvantageous manner. After receiving this blow, he then rushed forward, violently poking and kicking his feet, attacking his lower body.
Ni Po retreated at high speed, but the opponent grabbed his clothes or arms and rushed away like a maggot on his tarsus.
It was too late and then too fast. The next moment the two figures came into contact, they rushed diagonally to the side of Ni Po's direction. The huge inertia and rapid fighting made the two figures look like They staggered and spun around like they were drunk, crossing a distance of several feet in the blink of an eye. Then they pulled each other and violently knocked open a stall on the roadside. Debris and vegetable leaves flew up all over the sky, and the soft tents that were propped up rumbled. of collapse.
Ni Po crashed and flew further, rolled and climbed up beside the door of a shop, with shock and surprise in his eyes: "Hahahaha, okay, okay - what method did you use just now? , can actually break my Yubu Divine Power——"
"Your mother and I——" Ning Ji stood up among the pile of debris, with a vegetable leaf on his head. He is naturally shorter than the other person, but his figure at this moment is not thin. Even the blood on his hands and arms is boiling. In the night, his outline looks like it has grown bigger. At this time, under the huge He cursed in anger and fear, and swung his arms violently, splitting a thick wooden table that was still intact next to him into pieces.
There are various methods of accumulating energy and bursting out in the arena. Although he has never been involved in the opponent's foot and step fighting, he can still see the secrets. At that moment, Qu Longjun was still a "master" according to his repeated training before. "Pretending to be a method" was doing something. God knows that at that moment, he almost broke out with all his strength to stop this guy.
The most important thing is that he has no idea why the other party came to kill you: the labor and management provoked you——
Ni Poze didn’t care about his insults. He stretched out his arms and said: "Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet such a master today. OK - I am Jizhou's 'Iron Fist' Ni Po! I want you to help me achieve consummation -"
"I am your long-lost father! I will beat you into a ball today - and stuff it back - ”
In an instant, Ni Po rushed over, and Ning Ji greeted him.
...
On the second floor in the middle of Yinqiao Square, Pu Xingui was still surprised by Chen Shuangran's madness when he saw Ni Po coming out.
"Ni Po...Chen Shuangran, are you out of your mind? He just killed Song Xiaoming, you think the police can't find him, right?"
"Master Ni's ambition... ...You and I, rats...how can we know..."
"What, what..."
"He just killed the chief arrester, and not long after, he appeared in front of others and killed two people. Talking about it in the future...it will become a legend..."
However, after a while, the people upstairs were slightly stunned. Silence fell.
This is far from the entrance to the night market at the other end of Yinqiao Square. Although I can see more clearly with the two old telescopes in the room, the general situation is still unclear. He could also see clearly, not to mention that Ni Po shouted with great force and the sound was huge.
In the night, I saw the two figures fighting together. Both sides were punching fiercely. At this moment, they almost all struck without reservation. The fight was real and powerful, even if they didn't understand martial arts. Ordinary people can also see the prowess of the two men's martial arts in those fast and fierce fists and kicks.
Not far away at night, the sound of commotion seemed to have started, and police officers were rushing towards this direction quickly.
After a while, the street company man on the ground also struggled a few times in the pool of blood, took out the bamboo flute he carried with him, and started playing hard.
"Who came forward to show his sage... and solve the two of them?"
Pu Xingui asked Chen Shuangran.
In front of the small cart that was turned into a grocery stall in the distance, the older warrior "Long Aotian" was even sorting out the items in the cart at this moment, without paying any attention to the battle situation on the side. .
"...If they both come together, will you still have Ni Po?"
Chen Shuangran frowned: "This... is indeed something I never thought of... Ni Po's skill..."
"This young man's martial arts is very strong, and... he should have learned from his family. ..." Beside the window, the middle-aged man who followed Chen Shuangran up spoke.
Chen Shuangran seemed to have a lot of respect for him. At this time, he said: "Sir, can you tell where the road number is?"
"I can't tell... After Jingping, Beipei Quan Nan Chuan, various factions blend together, this person's airs He is strict and steady, and his internal strength is especially high for his age... Perhaps only a few martial arts families, or supreme masters, can teach such disciples."
"What about? ”
"For example, Lin Zongwu..."
While talking upstairs, across the field of view, Ni Po had already jumped towards the crowd on the side. He knew that it would be difficult to achieve victory today, so he clasped his fists with his hands and smiled heroically.
"Okay, it's true as people say. Long Shaoxia and Sun Shaoxia are extremely skilled in martial arts. Ni Mou has seen it... Today is not a lucky day. If we are destined in the future, we will meet again in the world and come back to learn from them!"
What he said was grand and grand. It turned out to be a way for each other to become famous in the green forest. At the other end of the field of vision, the young man did not seem to be chasing after him. He saw Ni Po running over and over several times and sneaking in along the alley. In the dark.
It was a fierce fight with no outcome, but in a sense, it was actually the best result. At this moment, Pu Xingui also roughly understood the opponent's plan.
"...I wonder why you are looking for the boss of the Fish King. It turns out it is for this escape route."
At the window over there, Chen Shuangran stared at the light in the distance, thoughtfully, and replied casually. : "So what?"
"It's a pity that you, Ni Po, can't make a name for yourself today. If you leave from here, I'm afraid you'll kill the Fish King again." ——Don’t you know who owns this place?” It’s just you, brother, can’t you tell?”
“Huh, just think of it as your gain...” Pu Xingui sneered twice.
At the entrance of Yinqiaofang in the distance, several police officers were already arriving one after another. The two were quarreling with each other when the middle-aged "gentleman" standing by the window suddenly frowned and reached out to take the telescope from Chen Shuangran: "That's not right..." He looked at the entrance of the square several times.
"...What's wrong?"
"The boy is gone."
The people in the room hesitated slightly, but the next moment, they all started to move.
“Where are the Fish King’s people arranged...”
"I haven't seen it myself, but it's usually the waterway to the north."
"Look in the dark."
"Where is Ni Po..."
"Let me see Missing.”
“…This way!”
Everyone pushed open the surrounding windows one after another and looked carefully into the surrounding darkness. After a while, Qian Dingzhong indeed first discovered the dark place on the fork of the river not far away. He had to look very carefully to see the shore. A flag with a strange pattern hung on a awning boat nearby, probably several yards away from everyone.
Chen Shuangran picked up the telescope and looked around. After a moment, he also saw Ni Po running in the darkness. He was walking along the path by the river towards the reserved awning boat. , because the view of the road over there was blocked by the wall of the courtyard, so occasionally only half of his head could be seen.
The figure was about to arrive. At the same moment, the middle-aged "sir" standing by the window whispered: "So fast..." The other people looked to the other side. At a certain moment , a figure suddenly shuttled across the street.
Ni Po on the other side of the wall suddenly stopped. A figure came out of the awning boat, and then suddenly shrank back. Judging from the situation, it was probably that everyone could no longer see it and was hidden in the courtyard. The visitor from behind the wall drank back.
Even if no one is visible, everyone can guess that the two sides are confronting...
...
Behind the courtyard wall and on the road where many wooden boxes and debris were piled up by the river, Ni Po saw the young man running in front of him. The boy was also striding towards him. He looked like him. The moment you enter Yinqiaofang is ordinary.
The boatman from the awning boat came out, and was pointed by the young man who came over: "Go back." This was the minion of the Fish King. He didn't know what happened for a while, and was frightened. Went back.
Ni Po smiled: "Today we will only do a tie, you really think that Ni has no trump card anymore."
"Hey, a tie..."
The young man's figure was in front of him, but his punch speed was still similar to before, and he was the type that Ni Po could catch. Ni Po sighed in his heart. He knew that he was a little carried away today. He seemed to have offended this young man with strong martial arts skills. There was no other way but to fight him. In fact, when Chen Shuangran subdued the brothers, he still I want to discuss more with these two people.
After receiving two punches, and then the third punch, the arm on the side suddenly felt pain, and the strength was lost in an instant, and then the sharp edge brushed across his face, then his lower abdomen, thighs, Shoulders...
The ordinary punches were still the same as the fights on the street, but Ni Po knew something was wrong. Using a knife to punch is not surprising in a fight. He is known as the "Iron Fist". In actual fights, he can use his fists or iron weapons on his body to dismantle the enemy's weapons. But the opponent's fist and sword came out silently and without any warning, and he received a knife on the third punch. This was not even a sneak attack by the opponent while the two were in the middle of the fight, but the murderous aura and skillful technique. To the extreme, Ni Po didn't even feel anything.
For the fourth punch, he was already trying to block and counterattack with iron weapons, but with each punch, the opponent was a little faster than him. Ni Po held his vitals with both hands and tried to retreat with all his strength. In the middle, I saw blood rain flying, and the shadows of the fists and swords were like splashes of ink all over the sky. They were thrown away in just a short moment, covering most of Ni Po's body with a puff. He lost strength after retreating to the wall, and then tried to rush forward and jump into the river, but the sharp weapons in his fists exploded behind him continuously. He knocked down several wooden boxes beside him and was killed by the opponent. He grabbed it hard with both hands and pulled it back...
...
In the darkness of the night, one could feel Ni Po fighting with his opponent over there, but then, half of his head that popped up behind the courtyard wall shook and disappeared. Only a few black lines of blood were drawn in the air. The boy's The figure was behind the wall and swallowed Ni Po.
Based on the intensity of the previous fight between the two sides on the street, this scene in the darkness was so strange when it happened. Pu Xingui and Chen Shuangran could not understand what happened at all. Then they saw Ni Po trying to fly out. Knocked over the box.
At this moment, the field of vision that everyone could see was finally a little wider. The moment Ni Po flew into the air, the young man’s fists fell continuously behind the opponent. He didn’t know what kind of weapons they were, but Ni Po Po obviously had no strength, he smashed the box and fell to the ground, and then the young man stretched out his hand and pulled him back into the darkness beside the wall.
The boatman in the awning boat by the river stood up with a knife. Before he could raise his chest, something hit him like a cannonball, causing his body to fall back into the shed, and the boat rippled with a roar.
In the darkness, several people stood at the window in silence for a moment, and then saw the young man standing out in the field of vision. He shook his head and said something, dragging Ni Po's body that had no resistance, and then pulled him He also threw it into the awning boat, jumped out again, and seemed to be wrapping the two people in the boat with oilcloth.
"Ni Po...is he still alive?" Pu Xingui asked blankly.
Qian Dingzhong shook his head: "...I don't know."
"If we want to kill, can we also kill on the street?"
"...Maybe Don’t you want people to know?”
Across the field of view, the young man jumped from the boat to the shore again, with his hands on his hips, seeming to be thinking about something and looking around.
Most of the five people in the room can be regarded as senior Green Foresters who have experienced various strange situations. They have seen all kinds of fights, blood and conspiracies. But for some reason, in conjunction with the previous vigorous competition on the street, seeing the darkness again The scene where Ni Po disappeared suddenly made everyone feel a chill running down their spines, as if they had seen a ghost committing murder in the human world.
"This man is the most skilled killer..." Beside the window, the middle-aged "sir" spoke, "His fists and kicks are all a cover-up."
This At this point, several people in the room nodded. Suddenly, I saw him walking backwards, shouting in a low voice:
"——Get back!"
As soon as he spoke, Qian Dingzhong was already moving behind the window. The three who responded were the driver who followed Chen Shuangran up. He and Pu Xingui pulled the window smoothly.
Among the five, only Chen Shuangran had the lowest martial arts skills. At the moment when the window was about to close, she saw not far away in the darkness, the young man standing by the river had raised his head towards here, his eyes deep. Suddenly, it locked over here!
Murderous aura spread——
Chen Shuangran's eyes were horrified and he sat down backwards. (End of this chapter)
