different paths

There was heavy snow in the sky and the biting cold wind, but the Shede Restaurant in Chenglian Town was still full of customers and business was booming.Shede Restaurant has three floors. The lobby on the first floor is full of benches and wooden tables, which are unobstructed; To meet the privacy needs of customers.From bottom to top, not only the price is getting more and more expensive, but even the menu is different. Although the private rooms are good, the number is limited. Nowadays, people who can book a private room at Shede Restaurant are either rich or expensive.

In front of the box named "Qingming" on the third floor, Xiao Erduan knocked on the door three times with delicious food.

"Come in."

Xiaoer entered immediately.

There were two young men sitting in the room, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, dressed expensively, but they couldn't hide their quack air.The tall and thin man was pale and his lips were black, like a sick child who had not recovered from a long illness. The short man was black and fat, with a face full of oil and exaggerated expressions from time to time. The flesh on his face was uncontrollably Together with the tremor.

Seeing that Xiaoer come in, "Sick Younger" coughed and asked, "Xiaoer, is there any special person coming into the city today?"

Xiao Er glanced at the faces of the two. Although they had different faces, they both had a dark fish pattern on their foreheads, which was hidden between the temples, and it was hard to spot without looking carefully.Xiao Er looked down at the ground, and only turned his head towards the two of them, with a very respectful attitude: "You two masters of the Iron Shark Gang, there are no big names entering the city today. It's just that at noon, the officials in the yamen are all dispatched to the east of the city. gone."

"Okay, I got it." "Sick Younger" said, throwing a silver coin into Xiaoer's arms, and the move was very generous, "I'll reward you, let's go down first."

Xiao Er collected the money, walked backwards out of the box, and finally closed the door very properly without making any extra noise.When he went downstairs and came to the corner of the second floor, he took out the silver ingot in his arms, looked and looked at it quietly, his eyes were only smiling, and he only hoped to meet a few more such ingots. guests.It's not to blame Xiaoer for making small calculations, but there are quite a lot of people in the world who want to inquire about the news recently. As long as they are ordinary people in the city, if they are a little clever, they can get a lot of reward if they miss a sentence or two.

It has been more than a month since the Buddha's head was stolen from Liufan Temple, and this matter is related to the elusive star picker. Naturally, Master Wuyou, the abbot of Liufan Temple, did not sit still.He widely distributed hero posts, hoping that people of insight from all walks of life could go to Liufan Mountain to discuss countermeasures.Master Wuyou came out of Shaolin, and as soon as the hero post came out, not only Shaolin, Wudang, Taichong and other famous schools responded immediately, but also gangs that were rising all over the world, and the Iron Shark Gang was one of them.

Only a few days after the hero post was posted, Chenglian Town has already welcomed several waves of people from all corners of the country. The originally peaceful and quiet town suddenly became full of excitement, with swords and swords everywhere.The first ones to arrive were Shaolin and Wudang sects. The disciples from both sects were all young disciples, many of whom were well-known rising stars in the world in recent years.The Shaolin party is led by Master Yudu's personal disciple Xingzheng, and the Wudang party is led by Master Hanxu's eldest disciple Xi Sheng.After the two sects, sects large and small also arrived one after another. Now in the town, only the Shede Bieyuan under the name of Shede Restaurant has a place to stay.The rest of the inns were all filled to the brim.

Not only Jianghu sects, but it is said that after the head of the Buddha in Liufan Temple was stolen, the Tian family was furious and ordered the imperial court to investigate the case.Yuqiansi is directly managed by Jinshang, who can arrest, torture, and execute by himself. It is the most powerful sword in the hands of the emperor.Now the emperor has ordered the Imperial Secretary to pass on the case, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

"It seems that those people are here today." After listening to Xiao Er's words, "Short Hei Fat" looked down at the people coming and going outside the window, and threw out a sentence after a while.

"Sick man" sneered: "It's just a group of lackeys, what can they do? The one in the Jinluan Hall really thinks that these bastards can make things happen?"

"Short, Black and Fat" rested his cheeks in boredom and stared out of the window: "I heard that the imperial department is divided into light and dark departments. It's up to them. I don't know if it's the Eagle Department or the Teng Department that came today?" As he spoke, a curious look appeared on his face, but he was no longer obese.

Teng, snakes are like dragons, can create clouds and mists, and fly without feet.The Teng Department is a group of people most trusted by the emperor. They seldom show their faces, but they are like an invisible hand, killing the cases that need to be solved and the people who need to be dealt with in silence.Up to the temples, down to the rivers and lakes, all of them have heard of "Teng" and the ruthless methods of Tengbu, just hearing about it makes people shudder.

But when this "short, black and fat" mentioned the Tengbu, there was a hint of interest in his eyes, and he was not like an ordinary person.And the "sick man" opposite him didn't lose his face in shock after hearing what he said.He just polished his nails, blew away the lint with disdain, and said lazily: "The more you bark, it should be a dog or a dog, and I hope to fly to the sky." , as a beast.

These two daring people are none other than Jia Wujue and Gu Yiming.After Master Wuyou posted the hero post, the two turned into members of the Iron Shark Gang and came to join in the fun.The Iron Shark Gang was originally only entrenched in the southeast coast, but in recent years it has spread inward at an alarming speed, annexing the major gangs along the river and around the docks that live on water.Now because of the incident of Liufan Buddha, all factions of the Jianghu are gathered together, and the Iron Shark Gang is trying to take this opportunity to make a name for themselves and gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains martial arts.Although the guild leader Yin Heshan did not go there in person, he sent his most trusted deputy guild leader Li Tuntao to take the rudder leaders of the 36 rudders of the Iron Shark Gang.

Although there are many people, it is easy to be fished in troubled waters.Jia Wujue and Gu Yiming casually assumed the identities of two inconspicuous little people, and followed the Iron Shark Gang members all the way, eating and drinking, having a good time.

The two just drank the wine while looking downstairs.In less than half a stick of incense time, a group of people came here from the east.Under the crotch of the person walking in the front was a green curly horse with smooth hair and black body without a trace of variegation.The man on horseback was covered in gold patterns on a blue background, and a goshawk with outspread wings was embroidered on his chest, with golden feathers and silver eyes, lifelike.He carried a fire dragon gun on his back, with the dragon head as the base and the dragon tongue as the head. It was about ten feet long, and the whole body was red. It looked even more dazzling in the white snow.
