About a moment later. Several figures appeared at the entrance of the alley, looking at the incense master of the Black Snake Gang lying in a pool of blood, and remained silent for a while. Someone squatted down, checked the wound, and whispered: Feng Guo Wuhen... This seems to be the sword technique of the Xunfeng branch among the eight branches of Qiantiankundi. Judging from the strength and accuracy, it is estimated that it is at least practiced. He is so successful, but there is no such person in our gang. He stood up and asked someone: Master Quxiang, do you want to check? The man who was replaced as the 'Incense Master' looked at the corpse in front of him and pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: The sword skills are great...that's all. It's better to do less than to do more. Anyway, the person is dead, so we can do business. These days there is a mixed bag of good and bad people. If the other party is picked up by some small character, then maybe you still need to check it out. But if you bump into someone with great swordsmanship, then there is no need to bother anymore. After all, someone with great swordsmanship is either a gang incense master, a guard martial artist from a certain force, or even a deputy from the City Guards Department. If there is no grievance or enmity, there is no need to provoke him. I just don’t know who this person is. … Chen Mu quickly returned home and closed the door.
Chen Yue looked at Chen Mu who hurriedly entered the house without saying a word. She sniffed slightly and smelled a little smell of blood. She followed him quietly with a thoughtful look in her big eyes. He walked out of the room and whispered: What's wrong, brother? I had a little trouble, but now I'm fine. After Chen Mu closed the door and listened carefully to the sound, his mood calmed down. I touched the silver and gold leaves hidden in my pocket. I saw a huge sum of nearly seventy or eighty taels. For a commoner's family, it was money that could never be earned in a lifetime. Moreover, the world was in chaos these days. If you couldn't survive, you sold yourself into slavery. There are many, many, often the life of an eight or nine-year-old girl is only worth less than ten taels of silver, and men are even cheaper. Fifty taels of silver is enough to buy a small one-in courtyard in the relatively comfortable area near the City Guards in Jiutiao. Generally speaking, you must be at least the owner of a restaurant and pawnshop, or Only people like the leaders of small gangs and the poor heads of the City Guards Department can afford to live there. It is impossible to say that there are no waves in my heart when I get such a sum of money all at once. But Chen Mu today is different from before. His skill and strength in swordsmanship have given him the confidence and mentality. With such a sum of money in hand, he can still suppress the waves in his heart and analyze the situation calmly. . He wanted to kill me and was killed by me. This is only natural. Even if I were found out afterwards, it would be nothing. Others may not know that he had such a large sum of money... Moreover, even if they knew, it would be nothing if they found him. , with my current ability, seventy or eighty taels of silver can still hold me down. If he was just an ordinary low-level servant who took advantage of the situation and wanted to steal these seventy or eighty taels of silver, it would definitely be quite risky. Once found out, if he didn't obediently hand over the money, he might be in a lot of trouble, even if he Everyone has to consider taking out most of it and giving it to the poor man above, so as to get the poor man's protection. But it's different now. He himself has great swordsmanship, he can be an incense master in the gang, and he is also qualified to be a bad head candidate in the City Guard Department. With only seventy or eighty taels of silver, he can still cover it. Moreover, the other party wanted to kill him first and was killed by him, so it makes sense in terms of emotion, reason, and fists. Thinking of this, Chen Mu became calmer and calmer. This money is enough for me to move Yue'er to a better house, and my life will be much better in the future. However, it's best not to be too ostentatious, and just sit back and check the situation for the time being. There will be no one around me when I kill someone. , and no one knows my strength. They only know that I am an ordinary servant, and no one may think of me. It is better to avoid unnecessary troubles as much as possible. He has lived in this old house since he came to this world. It has been in disrepair for a long time, has no windows, and leaks from time to time. In the past, he always thought about taking Chen Yue to a better place when he got rich. Now he finally waited. arrive. But to avoid trouble, it’s best to wait a while longer. On the other hand, the daily food and clothing expenses, which will not be seen at home, can be more generous. At least the little girl can eat rice, noodles and meat every meal, and I can replenish more blood and strengthen my body. While Chen Mu was thinking about it, Chen Yue walked around Chen Mu and finally found a little blood stain on the corner of Chen Mu's clothes, which had not yet dried up.
She paused for a moment, but did not say anything. Instead, she turned back to the front, deliberately stretched out her nose and sniffed Chen Mu in a coquettish way, and said: Brother smells, please take off your robe quickly and I will wash it. wash. good. Chen Mu was thinking and didn't pay attention to Chen Yue at the moment. He took off his uniform and handed it to Chen Yue. Chen Yue hugged her robe and ran to the woodshed. At this time, Chen Mu recalled the thrilling scene at the entrance of the alley, stretched out his hand to touch the weapon of Cha Dao, and murmured: I do have some strength now, and the Xiang Master of the Black Snake Gang is a good hand. In my hands, he couldn't go more than a few rounds. Although it was because he was seriously injured and his sword skills were scattered and weak, it was also because of the refinement and strength of my violent wind sword skills. The system forcibly raised the 'Dacheng'. In a sense, I'm afraid. It is purer than Dacheng recognized by the outside world. Chen Mu had been thinking before that whether the sword skills assessed by the system could match the sword skills assessed by the outside world in a one-to-one manner. Now it seems that the system's standards may be higher than those of the outside world. In other words, his mastery of swordsmanship is more solid than that of ordinary people. Thinking of this, Chen Mu suddenly looked forward to the scene when he perfected his sword skills and developed a strong wind sword. He didn't know how much his sword skills would improve at that time, and what kind of strong hand he could become. Maybe it doesn't matter in the whole Yucheng, but in Jiutiao, the outer city, there aren't many people who can beat him. Practice swordsmanship! Chen Mu breathed out, took out his sword and took a look. Seeing that there was still some blood stains on it, he immediately went to wash off the blood stains, and then began his daily practice at dusk. … Nothing happened all night. Chen Yue washed and cooked for Chen Mu as usual. When he went to bed at night, he still pestered Chen Mu to tell stories, and fell asleep while Chen Mu told random stories about strange things. Chen Mu did not sleep soundly at night. He vaguely heard some movement outside, but it was just some passing footsteps. No one paid attention to his two huts, and no one paid attention to a city guard officer living in the house. By daytime, Chen Mu also breathed a sigh of relief. He was basically sure that nothing happened, and then went to the City Guard Department to change cards as usual. Coincidentally, when he arrived at the City Guards Department to change cards and patrolled with Liu Song, Li Tie and others, he passed by the alley he walked last night, and saw a corpse lying almost unchanged at the entrance of the alley. It seemed that the Chijin Gang had Did not do anything. Hey, this person seems to be the incense master of the Black Snake Gang. Liu Song was slightly surprised when he looked at the corpse, then walked closer and groped up and down, but found nothing. Finally, he spat angrily: Tsk, it's really clean, there's not even half of it left. In the past, he would not have dared to spit on an incense master of the Black Snake Gang so casually, even if it was just a corpse, but now the Black Snake Gang is declining, and the incense masters are almost dead, and their former majesty has long since Not here. Chen Mu remained silent and carried the body with Liu Song and others outside the city and threw it into a mass grave. This Black Snake Gang probably won't survive. On the way back, Liu Song also sighed: That's what gang members are like. They fight and kill all day long with their heads stuck in their waistbands. Although they say they can make some money, they will disappear at some point and they can't compare to us. If we send someone to be stable, although we don’t have much opportunity to make money or advance, our life will be much more peaceful.” Li Tie said: I have a distant cousin who also joined a gang. In the first few years, he dared to fight hard and earned a lot of money. But then one day he never came back. He was alive and dead but not dead. According to me, I think it’s better to live a safe life as a policeman, what do you think, Chen Er?” He looked at Chen Mu with a smile. Liu Song also smiled and patted Chen Mu on the shoulder and said, You don't seem to have a family yet. When I get the chance, I will arrange a marriage for you so that I can live a stable life. No rush, no rush.
Chen Mu smiled. Liu Song winked at Chen Mu and said, Why don't you rush? You guys probably haven't...well, right? I don't know what it's like. Why don't I take you to have fun now? Li Tie laughed when he heard this and said, Old Liu, you are really courageous. I have to go talk to my sister-in-law. Liu Song said dissatisfied: I am kindly arranging it for Chen Er. Why are you causing trouble? If you go around and dare to discredit me, I will tell you about the time when you were drunk and pulled the pants of the West Head widow. out. you dare! Li Tie's eyes widened, and then he quietly felt guilty. Chen Mu just laughed at the quarrel between Liu Song and Li Tie. He didn't have money to go to the Land of Wind and Moon before, but now he has money, but he has more important things, and he doesn't want to waste a moment practicing sword practice. As soon as he can practice the Guangfeng Sword Technique to perfection, he will have more confidence as soon as possible. He will have everything he should have and won't be in a hurry. The development of the situation was as Chen Mu expected. The Black Snake Gang was soon completely defeated by the Red Gold Gang. Within a few days and nights, it disappeared completely. Half of the gang members were never seen again. The forces that gradually controlled this large area of streets also changed from the Black Snake Gang to a new rising one. The red gold gang. During this process, there was no ups and downs at all regarding the death of the incense owner. Let alone anyone finding him, no one even mentioned the matter. Just like the beggar who froze to death in a road ditch on weekdays, no one cared about it. . Chen Mu still acted cautiously and did not use the money to make any big moves such as replacing a new house. He only bought more rice, noodles and dried meat on weekdays, improved the food at home, and bought Chen Yue a new cotton-padded jacket. The little girl was so happy that she almost jumped onto the rafters.
