Drunk Yangzhou

The area around Qingliang Peak is dominated by chieftains and clouds. The mountains are intertwined with clouds, the meadows are like snow, and the stone teeth are row upon row. The landforms are complex and magnificent.The vine-covered caves are full of daily utensils made of stone, which are both clumsy and elegant, with a unique style and interest.

In the meeting hall among the stone forests sat a tall and burly man. He was wearing a sterling silver mask, on which were engraved with gorgeous bat patterns and water patterns. Others could not see the contours of his face, only the hollowed out eyes. A pair of pitch-black pupils can be seen everywhere, in contrast to the white jade beads inlaid around the eyes.Countless subordinates in the gang have guessed his appearance, but no one has ever seen his real appearance...

Standing beside the man was a curvy, glamorous and enchanting woman, her face also covered with a veil. She quietly played with a silky and flexible long whip on the table, and looked at him admiringly from time to time.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and Zuoshi Xuanwu eagerly walked into the hall, which was as bright as day, "Master! The batch of goods we intercepted is fake!"

The man slowly stood up from the stone seat covered with silver fox fur, "What's going on?"

"Niang Xipi, we let Xiao Ge cheat!" Xuanwu yelled, "He dyed the fine sand with white paste and piled it up in large quantities in the warehouse..."

"Useless stuff!" The man understood it, and interrupted him directly, "Don't you even understand the inspection? It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than a failure!"

"It's the subordinate's incompetence!" Xuanwu lowered his head.

"Have Baihu and Hong Liang not returned yet?" the man asked again.

"Suddenly there is no news." Xuan Wu looked at his senior brother with some worry.

"Send someone to look for it and see what's going on."

"Yes."

This man is Qinglong, the head of the Chief Cloud Club. He inherited the secret book Liuyun Thirteen Moves from his master Zhang He, and created his own Qinglong Whip Technique.As the gang got bigger and bigger, the expenses gradually became insufficient. Therefore, after the Chunri Lishan incident, he immediately bought Hong Liang and started to annex the salt goods of the merchants in Yangzhou.

"This Xiaoge is interesting." Qinglong was annoyed at first, and then found it interesting. Under the mask, his thin lips curled up into a smile, "Yangzhou just passed the flood, and he is going to march into Zhejiang? Well, it's just a matter of time to fight with the imperial court." One, we wait to see the excitement!"

"Recently, more and more people have joined the gang. Jiyu is fighting in full swing, and the imperial court has no time to take care of us. Brother, this is a good time to strengthen our power!" Xuanwu said.

"Is there anyone who is smart and skilled in martial arts to be the leader?" Qinglong played with the Ruyi hanging on his waist.

"Junior Sister Suzaku and I picked ten of them, and please have a look at them." Xuanwu clapped his hands lightly, and the people waiting outside the door filed in, most of them were young people in their 30s and [-]s. Qinglong glanced down and said: "Entering the Chief Cloud Club is equivalent to stepping into the rivers and lakes, living a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife, and there is no room for repentance. Have you thought about it?"

The people below nodded one after another, Qinglong gave a low laugh, and suddenly threw a few darts from his sleeves towards them. The young people disarmed before entering the door, so they couldn't stop them, so they could only jump up to dodge, one of them couldn't dodge, The wound was scratched out, and the poison had already been quenched on the dart, and he died immediately before he could react.

The rest of the people looked at his miserable state and couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

Qinglong walked down the stone steps, stared at them and said: "This is called blood sealing the throat. The high-quality poison transported from Qiongdao is extremely rare. If you really become leaders in the future, each of you can get a bottle. If there is a fight, it will definitely help you win. As for how to select the leader, the Chief Cloud Club has its own standards... Don't worry, it is much more cost-effective to work for the Chief Cloud Club than to contribute to the bullshit court!"

Everyone bowed their heads and said yes, even though their martial arts were considered outstanding, they looked somewhat nervous when facing Qinglong. There was only one person who looked calm, neither humble nor overbearing. Although he was dressed in rags, there was a firmness in his eyes that could not be ignored.

In fact, as soon as they came in, Qinglong had already noticed him. This man was less than twenty-five years old, and he had a long old scar in front of his ear from his cheek to his neck, so he was a little disfigured, but when he occasionally turned his head Go, when only the side face is left, that appearance is impeccably beautiful. If it is a woman, it must be stunning.

Qinglong walked in front of him unconsciously, looked into those bright eyes, "What's your name?"

"Return to the head, the villain's name is Cheng Lou." The voice was clear and pleasant, speaking standard northern mandarin.

"Where are you from?"

"From Yanzhou."

"Hmm...the accent isn't too heavy." Qinglong became a little suspicious.

"I have been outside since I was a child, and I haven't been home for a long time." Cheng Lou sighed softly.

"What are you doing outside?" Qinglong asked again, the words came out, and he hated his own mother-in-law.

"I ran to the Water Transport Wharf and came here with your wooden gang." Cheng Lou smiled, "I'm good at water."

"Yeah." Qinglong nodded, looking at his thin skin and tender flesh, he seemed to be soaked in water. Qinglong's eyes turned around his face a few times, and then fell on his scar, " How did you get this injury?"

Cheng Lou replied softly, "When I was young, there were bandits in the village, and they chopped me down with big knives."

When Qinglong heard this, he couldn't help feeling pity. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Cheng Lou's scar.

Suzaku on the stone ladder behind her turned pale with anger. She has been by Qinglong's side for many years, and Qinglong has never treated him so tenderly. Who would have thought that his senior brother could have so many conversations with such a down-and-out water ghost!

When she chose the reserve leader, she had noticed Cheng Lou a long time ago, and she looked really good-looking.For a handsome person, no one would have a little affection for a handsome person, but at this moment, his sweetheart showed a special feeling for Cheng Lou, and this kind of affection instantly turned into jealousy.

Cheng Lou didn't expect Qinglong to make such a move, a nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he took half a step back unconsciously.

Qinglong was stunned for a moment, and also felt that he was rude, so he quickly withdrew his arm, "Xuanwu, take them down."

Cheng Lou breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left, and when he returned to his residence, his inner clothes were already soaked in sweat.

When the frost was falling and the birds were singing, and the moon was full on the top of the trees, Suzaku quietly left her bedroom and sneaked into the thatched hut of the sixth-rank newcomer at night.

Cheng Lou also happened to be still asleep, and when he saw Suzaku beckoning to him with a cold face, he followed him lightly, wondering what Suzaku was calling him for.

Suzaku glanced at Cheng Lou's face under the moonlight, feeling a little ashamed, and took out a thousand tael silver bill from her bosom. "Didn't you come here to make a living? This money is enough for you to live for several lifetimes. Tonight, you can go down the mountain!"

Cheng Lou was very puzzled, and then smiled calmly, "Why did the vice gang drive the villain away? But what did the villain do wrong?"

Suzaku rolled her eyes in her heart. She didn't know whether Cheng Lou really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, but she couldn't say the reason, so she just said, "Stop talking nonsense, just go if you tell me to go! Otherwise I will You're welcome!"

"I came here to improve my martial arts, not for money..." Cheng Lou could only talk nonsense.

Suzaku was trembling with anger, and the move in his hand had already started, and the wind of the palm hit Cheng Lou's face whistling, "You asked for this!"

Cheng Lou was surprised and could only dodge around. It turned out that this was Liuyun's move. It's just that Suzaku has not advanced to the level of Qinglong, but it is enough to be regarded as a hero among women.

Cheng Lou blocked for a while, while secretly building up the strength of his fist, but he didn't want to punch Suzaku, because he didn't want to expose himself, and he didn't compete with the girl before, so he was a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Suzaku's moves became more and more fierce, Cheng Lou's method of only defending and not attacking gradually became useless. He was thinking about how to get out, but he heard a piercing whip, and a soft but boneless but cold light flashed all over the place. The steel whip swung in front of the two of them, just in time to separate them.

"Senior brother!" Suzaku retreated and complained.

"Are you crazy?" Qinglong scolded coldly, "What are you doing bullying him in the middle of the night when you have nothing to do?"

"I don't think he's pleasing to the eye!" Suzaku retorted, her beautiful eyes suddenly became wet, and tears fell out one after another.

"Why are you still crying?" Qinglong was annoyed at first, then surprised, and wanted to reach out to wipe her tears, but was thrown away by Suzaku, and she ran away sobbing.

"How are you?" Qinglong turned his head again, his tone half reserved and half concerned.

"I'm fine, I'm not hurt." Seeing Suzaku leaving sadly, Cheng Lou understood a little bit, and he sighed, "I caused so much trouble on the first day here... the head, I, I think I'd better go down the mountain."

As soon as he turned around, someone grabbed his wrist, Qinglong said with a smile, "She is my junior sister, her temper is like this, she will be fine in a few days. Since you have joined my gang, how can you leave?"

When Cheng Lou heard Qinglong's voice under the mask, it looked melancholy and deep, but it was still magnetic, and felt the burning temperature of Qinglong's palm, a sense of familiarity spread overwhelmingly, if it wasn't for that person, he had already gone to the northwest , he really thought it was...

He also used the whip... Cheng Lou recalled Qinglong's unrestrained appearance just now, and his heart was struck by lightning. For a moment, he longed for him to be the person behind him. If it was true, Cheng Lou also longed for him to be with himself Ridiculous, close, and even lingering, but how is that possible...

Cheng Lou raised his eyes to look at the bright moon in the distance, his pupils suddenly became cloudy, he had endured for many days and nights, but at this moment he could hardly restrain his inner feelings, every beat of his heart was swearing fierce desire and lust.

I'm afraid I've gone crazy... Cheng Lou said silently in his heart.

The misty moon was far away, and the mountains and mist were light. After Cheng Lou said goodbye to Qinglong, he walked towards his hut in a daze, but there was already a person waiting in front of the door.

"My lord, I didn't make a move just now, please forgive me!" The two came to a secluded forest, the man bowed his head and said shamelessly.

"Song'an, you did the right thing." Cheng Lou chuckled, and a few strands of hair fell down from his handsome cheek, making him look even more charming, "In their eyes, we don't know each other, and there's no reason for us to save each other. .”

This Chenglou is Xiaoge who sneaked into Qingliang Peak in disguise. Originally, he thought that the rivers and lakes and the government hall should not be confused. Yunhui was looted, so he became more determined to get rid of Chief Yunhui first.The [-] Wu troops in Yangzhou have also quietly moved south at this time, and when Xiaoge's side finds out the situation, they will cooperate with the inside and outside to attack in one fell swoop.

"My lord... I think we'd better go down the mountain secretly..." Bai Song'an sighed, "This chief cloud is too dangerous. Look at what happened today, seeing the blood seal the throat, the subordinates are really worried!"

"If you go to attack the imperial court, Chief Yunhui will take advantage of it." Xiao Ge said in a low voice, "The thinking of the officers and soldiers in Zhejiang is very lively. First, they want to do good, and second, they hope to get back their family assets. Son... The meaning of the governor of several states is very clear. After taking down Qingliang Peak, it will be like walking on the ground. Chief Yunhui would not have thought that we would start from here, so this is the most appropriate way... There are quite a few of us at the eighth level, what are you afraid of..."

Bai Song'an also understands the pros and cons, but he feels that Xiao Ge shouldn't go there in person, but he actually understands Xiao Ge a little bit, this lord is a person who doesn't want to sit back and enjoy what he has, and Mr. Wen has not heard from him for so many days, so he must have committed a personal risk. If Xiao Ge were to stick to Yangzhou, he really couldn't stay there.

Bai Song'an had no choice but to swallow the words of admonition, then thought of Suzaku again, and asked suspiciously, "My lord, why did Suzaku bother you? Could it be that she saw something?"

"No. I really think there is a problem, and I was tied up and sent to Qinglong." Xiao Ge recalled Suzaku's childish attitude under the veil, and said with a smile, "Maybe she misunderstood."

"I don't know if I should say something or not." Bai Song'an bit his lips and said, "Actually, I think that Qinglong is... a bit special to the lord. There are so many people in the conference hall today, he only asked you to ask."

"He wears a mask to show others, I think he felt some sympathy for my scar." Xiao Ge stroked his left cheek, "Do you understand my purpose of making this fake scar?"

"So that's what happened..." Bai Song'an thought that Xiao Ge got the scars to look ugly, so there was another consideration.

Xiao Geyuan didn't want to mention the next words, but he couldn't help it, "Do you think this Qinglong looks familiar?"

Bai Song'an smiled, "Master, he wears a mask, none of us know what he looks like."

Xiao Ge said softly, "You saw it just now, he uses a whip. And that figure with wide shoulders and narrow hips, I really look like..."

At this point, Xiao Ge's face turned red, he didn't continue, but Rao Bai Song'an is a fool, he also understood who the lord was talking about.
