Chapter 23 Goodbye in the Forest
Nanjing is one of the seven ancient capitals in China. Since the Eastern Wu Dynasty established Nanjing as its capital in 229 AD, Nanjing has become the capital of China ten times.Today's Nanjing City, as the most beautiful place under the emperor's feet, is a prosperous scene.Although it experienced the war in the late Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's 25 years of recuperation reawakened the vitality of this ancient city.Zhu Yuanzhang devoted himself to his Ming Dynasty, especially the city of Nanjing.His gloomy and murderous intentions only ravaged the court, and as the people in the city, they could only feel the emperor's love and kindness towards them. "It would be great if there were not so many beggars" is the thought of all the residents in Nanjing.Everything has its pros and cons.If the Nanjing city in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes is Yang, then the beggars and gangsters in the city are Yin.And their source is the rotten alley outside the city.

Walking in the market in Nanjing City, Xu Ruyi felt the long-lost relaxation.This morning, he asked for leave with the housekeeper, saying that he wanted to go out for a stroll.The butler didn't say anything, so he granted the leave and gave him two denarii back.It seems that Mrs. Mu has already greeted the housekeeper in the mansion.

I bought a sugar biscuit casually on the street, and Xu Ruyi took it in his hand and ate a couple of bites from time to time.Look at the sky, it's past noon.

"Let's go outside the city and have a look." Xu Ruyi rubbed her eyes that were a little sore from the sun, and walked towards the alley of bad people outside the city, "Maybe I can see that fat man?" '

In fact, there are fewer beggars in Nanjing today than in the past, but people didn't notice it.Many beggars stayed in their own corner in the alley of the dead, and did not enter the city.They were sitting or standing, their eyes were looking at the woods not far away, their expressions were a little nervous, they were waiting for the result, the result of a fight.

The forest is very dense, and the trees are mostly pines and cypresses.In a clearing in the forest, there are many people lying here and there in disorder.Some people have lost their voices, the bloodstains on their necks or hearts tell the cause of their death, some people can still groan slightly, they are asking for help from their companions, but their companions are also in danger, maybe It's only up to God.The sword light was shining, and the ghostly figure shuttled among the crowd.The smile of the god of death unfolded in the interlacing of light and dark.

"Ah!" There was a scream, and another person fell to the ground clutching the wound on his neck, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.The fat Grim Reaper holding an iron sword was still reflected in his unrepentant eyes.

He gently shook the iron sword in his hand and shook off the blood on it.Yun Zheng inserted the sword back into the scabbard on his waist. There was no one alive around him.

"Okay." Not far behind him, a tall, slender man in rags shouted "ok" loudly for him, and then clapped his hands, "Uncle Yun is indeed very capable."

Yun Zheng turned around and looked at the tall and slender man without speaking, but squinting his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

This slender and tall man is called Man San'er, he was originally from a shabby household in a nearby village.His parents died early, and because of his gambling habit, he lost the small family property left by his parents.Because he couldn't live on, he came to Nanjing to ask for a living.Since childhood, the fortune teller had said that he would have power in the future, but he did not see where his power came from.It wasn't until he became a beggar in Nanjing that he understood what the fortune teller was talking about.Dead Man's Alley can be regarded as the blessed land of Men San'er, with his daring temperament and the physical capital given by his parents, Men San'er spent four years establishing the second largest gang in the Dead Man's Alley. Some people also gathered under his command.This level of strength is nothing in the eyes of those sophisticated gangs in the city, but he has a firm foothold in this alley of bad people.Over the years, if he had any big dreams, it might be to defeat that man named Brother Yao and become the number one gang in Dead Alley.

He originally thought that this dream might never be realized, after all, that brother Yao had stronger power than him.But a few days ago, a rotten man named Yun Zheng came to him and said that he could help him, just asking for a shelter.This is also the rule here, all newcomers must report to him or brother Yao, and pay a protection fee every day to stay.

"Come to me every day at you hour and pay two pennies. If you can, you can stay. If you can't, you can leave." This was the first sentence Men San'er said to Yun Zheng. He was a rootless fat man. Reasonable, I didn't expect that fat man to express his refusal.

"I don't know how to beg for food, and I don't know how to pay." Yun Zheng shook his head.

"Hehe" Men San'er was stunned, then sneered, "Then get out!"

As soon as the words fell, the iron sword in Yunzheng's waist rested on his shoulders, and pressed tightly against his neck, "I can help you level up Brother Yao, how about you taking care of my meals every day?"

This scene is the cause of today's killing.

Men San'er and seven or eight of his men stood quietly on the edge of the open space, watching Yun Zheng kill Brother Yao and his 34 men with a sword, they were completely stunned, only Men San'er reluctantly Everyone clapped their hands and said hello.

Yun Zheng pulled out the iron sword that had just been inserted, and walked towards Man San'er, step by step, stepping on the blood on the ground, walking slowly.The distance between the two sides was not far, a few steps away, Yun Zheng stood in front of Men San'er, without saying a word, just looked up at Men San'er's face.

"Yun...Uncle Yun" Men San'er was sweating profusely, trembling when he spoke, "You, you..."

Yun Zheng still didn't speak, but still looked up at him.

"Plop" Men San'er knelt on the ground, "Master, you will be our boss from now on, you have the final say, please spare my life!"

As he spoke, Men San'er kowtowed. The subordinates next to him were still standing. They were a little frightened. 34 lives, including Brother Yao, a total of 35, were killed by the fat man in front of them in just a moment.They had never seen what a ghost looked like, but they imagined it to be similar to this.

The raised head slowly lowered, Yun Zheng looked coldly at Men San'er who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and put the iron sword in his hand on his shoulder again.

Men San'er's hair stood on end, and the approach of death made him dare not speak.

"It's better to save his life, it's useful" a voice sounded in the shadow of the forest, Men San'er couldn't see the face of the person who spoke, but he thought it was the most beautiful voice he had ever heard.

Yun Zheng put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard again, turned around and walked towards the shadow from the voice, leaving a cold sentence in his mouth, "Stay still!"

Men San'er collapsed to the ground, and there was a foul smell coming from under him.Looking at the subordinates who were still in a daze behind him, Men San'er said angrily, "What are you doing in a daze? You don't have a brain!"

"Ah? Oh" the subordinates behind came back to their senses, trying to help Men San'er up on the ground.

"No, no!" Men San'er pushed repeatedly, opened the hands of his subordinates, and said angrily, "I want you to kneel down!"

On the other side, in the shadow of the woods, Yun Zheng knelt respectfully on the ground and said, "Father-in-law."

"En." Xu Ruyi nodded, "Get up and talk."

Yun Zheng stood up and quietly looked at Xu Ruyi who was facing away from him.

"You did a good job," Xu Ruyi said calmly, "Our family just happened to come here by chance, and we happened to see you show off your power and practice your kung fu well."

"Thank you for your praise, it's all cultivated by your father-in-law"

"Who is that kneeling?"

"That's Man San'er, the leader of the second largest organization here."

"The second largest?" Xu Ruyi asked suspiciously, "Then who is the first?"

"The first one is Brother Yao," Yun Zheng said, pointing to a corpse in the field, "He was killed by the little one just now."

"Oh." Xu Ruyi thought for a while, and said, "Then Man San'er is the boss here now?"

"He'll be gone soon," Yun Zheng said grimly.

"Hey~~" Xu Ruyi waved her hand and turned around, "Don't be so murderous, it's good for you to save his life"

Seeing that Yun Zheng didn't quite understand, Xu Ruyi explained, "After all, you have just arrived here, and you are not as familiar with the situation and rules here as Men San'er. If you have anything to do, just leave it to him. Put him in front. So if something happens, there will be a scapegoat, right?"

"I understand." Yun Zheng nodded.

"We came here just to see you. Since we have seen you, it's time for us to leave." Yun Zheng turned and walked out of the woods. "Don't look for me at ordinary times. See you at the temple fair."

Seeing that Xu Ruyi had gone far away, Yun Zheng turned around and came to Men San'er again.

"Yun, Uncle Yun," Men San'er said with difficulty.

Looking at the seven or eight people kneeling on the ground, Yun Zheng said, "You are still you, I don't care about anything, I am your new recruit in front of outsiders. Do you understand?"

Men San'er nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand, if you need anything, please tell me!"

"You go out first, I'll stay here alone for a while." Yun Zheng waved his hand and said.

In a short while, Yun Zheng was the only living person left in the clearing in the forest, plus a group of corpses on the ground, not all of them were dead, and there were still a few who were still alive, moaning slightly.Yun Zheng pulled out the sword again, walked into the arena, and repaired the sword one by one to those who still had voices.

"Hehe" Yun Zheng laughed lightly, his voice was thin.He didn't know what was funny either, but he just wanted to.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" The laughter became louder, Yun Zheng figured it out, he was laughing to kill people, this feeling of manipulating other people's life and death fascinated him.
