Sheng Fu

The end of the new year is getting closer and closer. Some people who were reluctant to eat and wear are spending a lot of money to buy new year's goods this year. Many children from poor families may be able to eat a few mouthfuls of braised pork this year.

No one knows what the next year will be like after this year, and carpe diem in time has become the sympathy of many people.

A mouthful of braised pork is nothing to dignitaries, but to ordinary people who live in hardship, it is not always possible to eat it in their mouths every Chinese New Year.

At the foot of Zhengxiong Mountain.

As a gathering place for wild travels in the rivers and lakes, it used to be a chaotic place. Even if you are a serious criminal, as long as you have the ability to escape to Zhengxiong Mountain, you will be safe for the rest of your life.

Since Gu Qinghao got the Qingyun order, the situation has changed. Gu Qinghao took Zhengxiong Mountain as his base and vigorously rectified this place. They are also serious criminals. Those who are useful can be forgiven, and those who are not. Fa-rectification on the spot, so there is no need to waste more resources.

Unknowingly, Gu Qinghao has become the King of the Mountain at Zhengxiong Mountain, even the former Lord of the Mountain had to bow his head a little in front of Gu Qinghao who was holding the Qingyun Token.

The temple has always turned a blind eye to this matter. Firstly, it is because the resources need to be reorganized and rejuvenated, and secondly, it is also because of the last battle in Saibei City. The random stabbing in the territory of the territory did not have a direct impact on the whole, but it also caused changes in the battle situation in some areas. Of course, such changes were based on the human military.

As for how many real benefits Li Hongshan secretly obtained for his nephew, that's unknown.

At the foot of Zhengxiong Mountain, there is a simple inn. It is simple in terms of architectural layout, but the wine and meat in the inn taste very good. It is said that it was a famous chef in the north who was trapped by love in the past and committed serious crimes. He fled here and lived in the mountain. After working as a cook for many years, after Gu Qinghao rectified, he came here and became the chef.

As for the drinks, most of them come from the famous good wines in the north, such as Jiuyuehong, Piaoxuefusheng, etc.

A middle-aged, middle-aged man came to this restaurant. This man was named Lu Zhong, he was from Hengchangzong, and he was a capable general under Wu Mi's command.

He ordered a catty of beef, a stack of peanuts, and a pot of Jiuyuehong by himself.

The spy's life can be simple or extravagant. On weekdays, Lu Zhong doesn't pay much attention to three meals a day. He is not a picky eater, as long as he can fill his stomach.

After coming to this inn, he needed wine and meat to cover up his Sven color.

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do.

Today Lu Zhong was wearing a shabby cotton-padded jacket, his face was covered with wind and frost, his eyes were slightly dim, like a man trapped by love, at least in this inn, he was inconspicuous.

Most of the people who can live in Zhengxiong Mountain have a sad past.

Lu Zhong didn't know if he felt sad, he used chopsticks to eat on weekdays, but today he ate beef and peanuts, and he just started to drink.

There are still many such people in a place outside the law like Zhengxiong Mountain.

While eating meat and drinking, the corner of his eye turned towards a woman in a brown cotton skirt intentionally or unintentionally. This woman was about [-] years old, she was not fair, but her face was pretty. Show the style that a mature woman should have.

This woman's sitting position is neither casual nor dignified. She straightened her waist slightly, but raised her legs, and she wore a jasper bracelet on her wrist.

However, there is a sharp sword on the table. The scabbard of this sword is polished with high-quality ancient gold wood. It is not known what kind of sharp sword is inside the scabbard. The sword can be used on the table. Most of the rogues with malicious intentions were isolated, but if they encountered powerful rogues, it would be another matter.

But at least, in this inn, there will be no powerful hooligans, but anyone with some strength will not appear in the inn, at least in a small courtyard in the mountain.

On the whole, this woman is solemn and steady, like a woman from a good family whose life is not very satisfactory, at least her face is upright, she doesn't look like a bad person.

Suddenly, out of the corner of Lu Zhong's eye, he caught a glimpse of another person, a man with black tattoos on his face, this man was slightly bent, with a pair of hatchets on the table, his eyes were lonely and gloomy, he didn't know what he had experienced before .

But this person was also observing the woman who was eating intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Zhong's intuition told himself that this was not a gloomy womanizer.

Suddenly, the hunchbacked man also glanced at Lu Zhong, the eyes of the two men intertwined in mid-air, and then disappeared in a flash, both of them knew each other well.

The gazes of the two of them completely calmed down, and they stopped looking at the woman, and ate honestly.

There were people coming and going in the inn, and this subtle change in eyes was unknown to outsiders.

After the meal, the woman entered Zhengxiong Mountain first.

Neither Lu Zhong nor the hunchbacked man entered Zhengxiong Mountain, but came to the bank of a big river.

"Where are you from?" Lu Zhong asked looking at the frozen water.

"This is a very stupid question." The hunchbacked man snorted coldly.

The hunchbacked man already had a hand ax in his hand, and the distance between the two was only about ten feet away. Once a melee fight started, Lu Zhong would most likely suffer.

But Lu Zhong smiled knowingly: "How about you stop here?"

"The price can be negotiated."

The hunchbacked man said indifferently: "If someone is killed here, the body will be thrown into the river, and outsiders will not know about it."

"It's better for you to take a step back."

Lu Zhong said helplessly for a while: "Who is the master behind you?"

The hunchbacked man frowned slightly, he felt that Lu Zhong's tone was a little arrogant and a little out of control.

In an instant, with one step forward, the hunchbacked man approached Lu Zhong with one step.

Lu Zhong also had quick eyesight and quick hands, he drew out a short knife and shook it head-on.

puff!
The moment the hand ax touched the dagger, the dagger shattered, and the ax hit Lu Zhong's neck, from the beginning to the end in the blink of an eye.

Lu Zhong just fell into a pool of blood.

The hunchbacked man slightly urged his true essence to break through the ice layer of the river, threw Lu Zhong's body into it, and then turned around and headed towards Zhengxiong Mountain.

But he didn't know that what he killed was nothing more than a dragon shadow clone.

The moment Lu Zhong walked out of the inn, he shifted his shape and left behind this dragon shadow clone.

On a quiet mountain path, Lu Zhong was propped up on a thick pine tree with one hand, his breathing was short of breath, he was gasping for breath, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"It's dangerous, I almost got caught." Lu Zhong said.

After a while, Lu Zhong took out a red bird from his bosom and passed the news back to Hengchangzong.

……

In the Hengchang Hall, looking at the memorial presented by Wu Mi, Yu Wenjun agreed to everything except some minor adjustments, among which the formation of the assassin team was the most resource-intensive.

The matter of meddling in the chaotic space was temporarily suspended by Yu Wenjun, because he didn't know where to start.

While thinking about it, Wu Mi arrived in a hurry.

"Lu Zhong found a clue in Zhengxiong Mountain. I don't know the root cause, but it probably isn't from Xingluo. You have to go to the imperial capital once, find Bai Xiaowei or Qiuqing, and confirm certain traces before we can start. , so as not to hurt the allies." Wu Mi said briefly.
