Chapter 1102 of the main body

In the early morning, the clear moonlight poured down from the night sky.

Kuang Wenbai was woken up twice by the movement from outside the square, the pain on his face intensified, and he couldn't sleep at all.

For him, Jiangning is really an unlucky place. He was involved in inexplicable master battles twice, and he didn't see where the enemy came from, so his nose was completely smashed.

Getting a broken nose is a terrible thing.

Especially when the wound medicine is applied after the nose is rotten, the stimulation of the medicine and the pain on the face are mixed together, which makes it difficult to breathe smoothly. In addition, various weird "smells" appear out of thin air from time to time, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. , just extremely uncomfortable. In the past few days, he has been woken up many times by his own saliva in his sleep, and when he woke up suddenly, he inhaled the medicine on his nose into his lungs, and he was close to choking to death several times.

Everyone in the world should have their nose smashed once, maybe they can understand his difficulty at this moment.

It was not just these two injuries that were unlucky. The second injury was on King Street. When the accident happened, he was punched unconscious. Later—perhaps someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape—he was dragged into a nearby alley , took off all his clothes, and when he woke up, the situation was very embarrassing. Although he argued that he was a member of the Immortal Guard, Gao Huiyun's subordinates who came to clear the venue refused to believe it. Afterwards, there was a commotion. Although a nearby companion came to vouch for him, the whole thing spread afterwards.

Kuang Wenbai licked his blood for half his life. Although due to limited talents and opportunities, he failed to become a famous master in martial arts, but at the age of forty, he has traveled all over the world and made countless grievances. A well-informed old Jianghu, if he is not in Jiangning, where heroes from all directions gather at this moment, but in a rural town, he is also a person who can hold a scene. .

When I experienced wind and rain in the past, I also thought about what I would encounter in the future. It is not unimaginable that a person in the rivers and lakes will lose his limbs and grow old, and even think about it with a bit of heroism . But good luck tricks people, it is impossible to imagine that in Jiangning, he completely lost his nose and was stripped of his clothes. When he went out these few days, he always felt that others were pointing and saying something to him. The road in the rivers and lakes was completely deviated, which made him a little at a loss.

Of course, after the nose is broken, the first thing to do is to heal the wound after all, and not long after the incident in the Jinlou passed, Prince Gong entered the city, and Jiang Ning was at peace for a while, and the Immortal Guard's job was idle, so he was also given a period of time fake.

During the ten days in the first ten days of September, the internal meeting was held every day, and the martial arts competition in the city was also going on lively. Heroes from all walks of life gathered, and there were good stories about the martial arts competition every day. It was indeed the most ideal world. Ambience up. However, in the two days after the Double Ninth Festival, the situation finally began to become complicated again.

The various squares and cities began to strengthen their defenses, and there were chaotic voices at night. Although the internal meeting belonging to the Fair Party was still in progress, the whole atmosphere was already vaguely feeling like it was before the storm.

Unable to sleep anyway, Kuang Wenbo resisted the complicated feelings in his nose, carefully applied ointment on himself, and then did some dressing up and went out—the core of his dressing was naturally in the mouth and nose, since the nose was gone , and applied ointment again, if he went out directly with a bandage, he looked like a thief in a drama. After applying the medicine, he had to make an extra layer of mask for himself, covering the lower half of his face completely, so that he could see It looks mysterious and evil, but it is not easy to take it off and eat.

According to this image, he is also ready to make an iron mask for the lower half of his face, so that he can continue to wander around the rivers and lakes after his nose is healed. Of course, Jiang Ning is no longer easy to mess with. Here he is the captain of the Immortal Guard. Many people know him well. Once he dresses up strangely, it will make others talk more about the reason for his mask. But after leaving Jiangning, the world is so big that he can earn a living wherever he goes.

After leaving the room, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. This is a small square city occupied by the "Immortal Guard", with wooden walls built around it and soldiers patrolling on the roof. At night like this, many people would sit on it and take a nap, but because of the noise just now, some figures were standing Looking into the distance from a high place. Kuang Wenbo went up the stairs beside him, only to see that there was still movement from the dark city in the distance.

"What's wrong?" He walked up to a soldier and asked.

"Oh, Team Kuang." The other party glanced at him, and then pointed to the street in the distance, "Just now there was a group of people chasing and fighting from here. Three people fled, more than 20 people chased, and some people rode horses. Look, go I went to the other side of Bingzi Street, Bingzi Street is home to a bunch of poor ghosts, although they are under the banner of the King of Fairness, there is not even a barricade, I think this is going to make a big fuss."

"It's that book club thing again?"

"It looks like it. The chasing person is flying the 'Baofenghao' Tianzi flag."

The two watched the commotion on the wall, and sure enough, the commotion, which was not that big before, didn't gradually subside, but became more violent after it spread to Bingzi Street. In the past few months when Jiangning City has been in chaos, similar situations are not uncommon. Many forces with backgrounds have picked out some streets and alleys in the city that are still relatively intact, but there will always be a large number of refugees who have nowhere to go. They gathered temporarily in some burned or dilapidated places. These people were sometimes gathered into a small force, but more were beaten to death and scattered in the chaos.

In the vendettas that broke out in the city, the hunted who had nowhere to go often had no choice but to escape to this kind of area, hoping to cause even greater chaos and seek a chance for themselves. Although the refugees and beggars in these places have some fighting power because of their lack of possessions, they are completely non-threatening in the eyes of the elite directly under the five parties of the Fair Party.

More than 20 people chased and killed the three of them all the way, and they didn't know how many people they would trample to death on the way. Sure enough, as the chaos on Bingzi Street became more and more powerful, someone fired an arrow in the chaos. In the middle of the street, there was another group of people coming vaguely, so the two took a closer look.

"It's from 'Long Xian' Fu Pingbo."

"They are really tired too." Kuang Wenbo smiled gloatingly. The "Seven Sages" under King He Wen of Fairness, and "Dragon Sage" Fu Pingbo are in charge of the internal guards directly under him. They can be regarded as one of He Wen's most useful arms. They often compete with "Longxian". Of course, in the past few months in Jiangning, Fu Pingbo led his men to fight fires everywhere, and the troubles were exhausting, while the "immortal guards" killed and arrested people, and did not do things like guarding homes, which made the undead guards see Fu Pingbo's rush, There will be some sense of superiority.

"Team Kuang, you are well-informed." The soldier on the side looked at the commotion in the dark and tilted his head. "Do you think this...does it work?"

"How do you count it?" Kuang Wenbai liked to explain people's doubts very much, and when he heard the question, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"That's right... Can the fair party conference of ours continue?" The soldier lowered his voice, "It is said outside that King Fairness is crazy, and they have to admit to the book club, saying that it is talking to other people. The four challenged, and then... You see, this King of Equality could have talked, but by accident, a son almost died the afternoon before yesterday, and our meeting was for a merger, so it doesn't look good if it goes on like this."

"It's nothing for a big man to die a son." Kuang Wenbo laughed, "What's more, didn't he not die? Look at your mess."

"The Kuang team is saying that it will be all right?"

"...It's not all right." Kuang Wenbai was silent for a moment, "We will have something to do, but the Fair Party, it's probably all right."

"how to say?"

"In this world, power is such a thing. It doesn't treat people as people." Looking at the commotion in the distance, Kuang Wenbo also lowered his voice, "The five kings of our fair party gathered here for the purpose of merging, It's not for fighting. Merger is beneficial, so the overall situation will not change, but there will be friction between two families getting married, let alone five families who want to merge into one family. Before the merger, there will be bumps and bumps. It will be less."

"Wang Hewen of Fairness took advantage of the reading club to take advantage of it. Taking advantage of it is his purpose. The reading club is just a bargaining chip. Without the reading club, he would take advantage of other things. And Wang Shibaofeng of Equality, at the beginning of the attack, It was also for the sake of taking advantage, and he was set up by the Fair King, so he had to find his way back. It just so happened that his son had an accident, and he went crazy because he was really crazy? No. You see, the people at night are not crazy, They just want to take advantage."

Kuang Wenbo looked into the distance and talked eloquently. At this time, Longxian's team had obviously started to confront Baofeng's team, but the anger between the two sides remained undiminished in the night, and more people from Baofeng came out of the night. Now that it's over, it looks like there will be another firefight.

"Before the merger, everyone has to fight." Kuang Wenbai said with his hands behind his back, "The lives of our subordinates are not that valuable. When the people above start negotiating, those below will start fighting. When the time comes, everyone will have a sense of proportion. The matter was settled. It’s like the three people who were chasing after Baofeng said it was a book club, do you think it’s true? In fact, I think it’s more likely that the head of Baofeng took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.”

He had a lot of experience in the world, and when he said something, his inner feelings immediately appeared, and the injury on his nose seemed to heal a bit. The soldier next to him frowned, no matter what he thought, he felt that it made sense: "Then, Kuang...Brother Kuang, our side..."

"It won't be too long for us here. If we start fighting, it means that we have talked about important things. Be alert." Kuang Wenbo looked outside calmly, and after a while, he patted the other party's shoulder, "Don't Worry, we know the bottom line, my brother, I will remind you if there is anything, you have taken care of yourself recently, be cautious in your words and deeds, that is. Big wind and waves, how is it not like this in these years, I think when we were in the north, we met All of them are Jurchens..."

In the night, the confrontation in the distance continued, and both sides were calling for more troops. Kuang Wenbo said this for a while, recalled the past in the Northland, and chatted with the other party for a while. The soldier was startled when he heard it, he didn't try his best to flatter him immediately, he boasted and complimented Kuang Wenbo a lot.

After half an hour, big figures from both sides came to the scene, and the chaos in the distance gradually dissipated. Kuang Wenbo said: "Look, fights and quarrels come and go, life is still going on. Today is the eleventh day, and there will be a meeting every single day. Just wait and see, none of our five families will not go, and some of them will be noisy."

As he said so, he went down from the wall with his hands behind his back. It was almost dawn at this time, and the things that were shown in front of the public eased the pain on his nose a little. After sunrise, after breakfast, he went out to investigate a little bit. Sure enough, the internal meeting of the fair party was still held as usual on this day. Many qualified people have rushed to the venue one after another. It is conceivable that the meeting on this day will be very intense.

By noon, some of the situation in the morning meeting had already been circulated. It is said that Shi Baofeng, the "King of Equality", asked the five parties in the Fair Party to pass the decision to clean up the "Book Club" at the meeting. His will was strong and he directly interrupted the discussion of all other issues. At one o'clock, they met each other and fought.

Regardless of the outcome of the meeting, from yesterday to today, the "King of Equality" has begun to issue large-scale rewards and arrest warrants throughout the city to search for those who hide Southwest books, and even stated that if the evidence is reliable, the reward can be given by the head . This kind of reward started to cause chaos in the city, and the troops of "Long Xian" were dispatched wantonly to stop such things in various places in the city. It is said that the murderer in the street was also killed by the men of "Long Xian".

Even though the "King of Equality" took advantage of the fact that his son was almost killed, but with the confrontation from yesterday to today, the people under the command of the "King of Equality" in the city have become angry, and many people even shouted in the street: " Let you see, in today's Jiangning, after all, we, the King of Fairness, have the final say!" Such a declaration.

When Kuang Wenbai and the others heard these rumors, they were excited but also a little apprehensive. As long as King Fairness or King Equality refused to make concessions in this incident, the situation in the city would not be easy.

In the future, further changes will come.

At this time, the afternoon meeting may have just started. Kuang Wenbo was sitting on the street to enjoy the shade, when he saw the knights of the order running all the way into the compound of the "Immortal Guard" in the square city. Not long after, the gongs of the assembly began to beep, bang, bang, bang. The buzzer sounded, and the people on the road were still watching the excitement. Kuang Wenbai was on vacation due to his injury, and he didn't know whether to gather for a while, but after a while, some soldiers who received the order closed both ends of the square.

The "Immortal Guard" guarding the place and some ordinary soldiers were called out, and then the order to investigate the "Book Club" was announced in Fangshi.

The order issued by the "King of the Wheel" Xu Zhaonan to arrest the members of the reading club was extremely strict, and the subsequent measures were also quite severe. First, the "Immortal Guard" and the soldiers sent people to search each other's residences. Afterwards, every house in Fangshi here will be thoroughly searched, and anyone who hides books of "pretending to be the Southwest" and "confusing the public with evil words" will be shot to death!

something is going to happen...

Kuang Wenbai's heart sank.

After a while, he saw warning fireworks going up in the city, and a fight erupted out of nowhere.

After a while, in the "Immortal Guard" resident, a team leader and several members seemed to find something in the room, and the fight suddenly started, and someone shouted: "This is planting!" and rushed out.

"Runner King" Xu Zhaonan, joined the game.

…

Before long, Qu Longjun, a "little scholar" who went out to buy newsprint, saw the sudden changes in the city.

I don't know what happened on the site of the "King of the Wheel", but in a short period of time, two warning fireworks went up, and the sound of fighting and chaos came faintly.

She hugged the few newspapers she bought in her arms, and ran towards the small courtyard where "Bai Luosha" lived.

On the street, many pedestrians are also running.

Qu Longjun didn't have much physical strength to defend herself, and the range she usually roamed was not too far. After turning two streets, she saw the gate of the dilapidated courtyard. She walked there, and on the way, a The figure greeted her, grabbed her shoulders suddenly, and carried her in the opposite direction.

"Big, aunt..."

The one she calls "Auntie" is Huo Qinghua, the leader of the "Bai Luocha" in this dilapidated courtyard. She has a scar on her face and is usually serious, but she takes good care of Qu Longjun and keeps her here In the yard, it was also the other party's decision to let her read the newspaper every day.

At this moment, Mrs. Huo stuffed something into Qu Longjun's arms. Qu Longjun looked at it, but it was some broken silver and two knives, one long and one short.

"Something's going to happen, don't go back."

"What, what's the matter..."

"The superior will issue an order immediately to track down... that person from the book club..."

"Reading club...I'm not..."

Reading newspapers in Jiangning for several months, Qu Longjun knew the details of the so-called "reading club" here. Several times, even the sisters in the "Bai Luocha" snatched some small books and brought them back for her to read. As someone who has stayed in the Southwest and read books like "Women Can Hold Up Half the Sky", she feels that the remarks in those pamphlets seem a little strange, and they don't seem to be in the tone of the Southwest. But of course, her knowledge of Southwest politics was not very deep enough to make a judgment on the matter.

"The old man ordered that no matter whether it can be found out or not, every place, every hundred people, at least one person must be handed over to deal with errands. You can kill the wrong person, but you can't let it go." Aunt Huo walked forward with her arms in her arms, explaining simply He asked the question, "In our entire yard, only you can read..."

"But..." Qu Longjun almost couldn't believe it, "...how could this be?"

"Everyone who can read will be killed, the fair party has a future." Aunt Huo lowered her head and hugged her, "Hurry up, find a way to get out of the city, and escape farther away..."

She let go of her and pushed her forward.

Qu Longjun turned her head, and saw that the usually indifferent woman with the scar waved her hand, then turned around and walked towards the yard.

In the bleak afternoon sun, Qu Longjun turned around and ran. The incident happened in a hurry. She shed tears when Aunt Huo let her go, but she stopped crying at this moment. Looking at the chaos around her, she knew that she had to run as fast as possible. Find a place to hide.

She ran into a small alley next to her and walked through the alleyway. Behind her was a sewage river full of mud. With a bang, Qu Longjun fell into the mud by the river. When she got up, she was covered with a lot of stench The muddy, no one will be willing to pay attention to her.

Tightening the money in his bosom, and hiding the knife close to his body, Qu Longjun held the slightly longer knife and walked towards the nearby hiding place in his memory, bowing his head.

The soldiers who sent the order ran through the streets and rushed into the nearby dilapidated courtyard.

"Yan Luo Wang" Zhou Shang, joined the game.

…

The meeting lasted all afternoon in a row.

From time to time, the chaotic sounds in the city spread into the meeting, and soldiers of various orders kept coming, bringing various news to various characters, and bringing out orders one by one, but for the "Book Club" ", He Wen and the "King of Fairness" never let go from the beginning to the end.

As the evening approached, even if there was no result, people from all walks of life in the meeting probably knew that Xu Zhaonan and Zhou Shang had already expressed their views this afternoon.

The late sunset turned red. After the meeting, everyone gathered and chatted in nearby attics and courtyards. Some people wondered, "What kind of medicine is sold in the fair king's gourd." Some people said: "The next meeting will be in two days. It's been two days and I still don't know what's going to happen."

In the distance, there are black smoke columns rising from the city.

"Long Xian" Fu Pingbo still led people to suppress the situation in the city, but some medium-scale firefights happened one after another.

There are also various surprises.

Holding a piece of recent news, Meng Zhuotao, who was in charge of the "Resentment Society", was silent for a moment in front of the window on the second floor of the wooden building where the meeting hall was located. He responded casually when someone greeted him. After a while, "Jackdaw" Chen Juefang came in a hurry.

"problem occurs…"

"The one who died was mine. Old Chen, your virtue is unsure. You don't want to cry like a cat..."

"You don't understand this matter? We were put together by the book club..."

"Who knows if you deliberately bullied me."

"Do I need it?" Chen Juefang stared. "It was your people who made the trouble first. Why did they do it for no reason? Can't you explain it clearly?"

"There are only thirty people in my place, and twenty-three people have small notebooks under the quilt. Old Chen, it's not the first day that everyone has been in the world, and they have really fallen into the pit... How many people can clear it up!?" Meng Zhuo Tao also stared.

Chen Juefang looked at him for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Meng, it was your people who broke the rules, and they were the first to strike."

Meng Zhutao looked at him calmly: "Yes, they deserve to die."

Chen Juefang waved his hand: "That's not the case... Lao Meng, don't be angry with me, this is clearly the purpose of the Reading Club."

"...Do you think I didn't think of it?" Meng Zhuotao was silent for a moment, "He Wen made a move, Shi Baofeng made a move, Zhou Shang and us made a move, and the reading club also made a move. Old Chen, today I am the host Let's talk about it... not only in Jiangning, but there will be many such things in the future."

Chen Juefang looked at him, and then nodded solemnly.

Similar conversations are happening in many places at this moment.

…

In a room with a balcony in the main building at the back of the venue, Gao Chang and He Wen were also watching the chaotic scene spread in the city.

"Is it necessary to make it like this?" After watching for a while, Gao Chang opened his mouth, "Brother He, what do you want to do? Is the book club really yours? Or do you really believe what they say?"

He Wen glanced at him: "General Gao, is it really unreasonable to talk about reading?"

"How much is reason worth?" Gao Chang said, "Brother He, look at these things in Jiangning City, it's not just Jiangning now, after deciding to clean up that meeting, their orders have been issued five hundred miles away, Do you know that there will be chaos in the whole of Jiangnan? If you really ordered the reading club behind the scenes to clean up our four families, what they did would be to prepare for the next war in Jiangnan. In today’s Jiangning, only I, Gao Chang, have not done anything yet , Brother He, because I want to figure it out before I do it, lest I hit the wrong person."

"General Gao, reason can help you win battles." He Wen said, "Which one is the strongest and most capable army in the world today, brother Gao, you know it, why don't we learn from it?"

"Because I can't use it!" Gao Chang said, "Train troops like the Southwest. Today's Fair Party has no place for me, Gao Chang! I, Gao Chang, can win battles because my brothers believe in me, Submit me! The people under my hands, let the people under them believe in them and obey them! Only then is the so-called "King Gao" today! My Gao treats brothers like brothers. Today's Jiangning City Here, I didn't do anything because I regarded you as a brother! Brother He, tell me, what are you thinking?"

He looked at He Wen, and He Wen also looked at him: "I was thinking, sooner or later, we will face the strongest army. At that time, our buddies are so loyal, how can we fight them?"

Gao Chang waved his hand: "Those scholars said that Southwest is strong and fragile, and they can't grow it."

"Even so, what if we fight the Jurchens? What if we fight the Beiwei army in the southeast?"

"The Jurchens are already decayed, not as good as they were back then. As for the Beiwei army, you and I know very well that it is just a soldier trained extremely harshly by the little emperor to protect him from the ups and downs outside. Sooner or later, it will not be able to hold on. !"

"General Gao, your method of training troops is to rely on all the enemies to be unable to sustain yourself?"

"Mr. He, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on if you betray your relatives!"

Gao Chang waited for him.

After a while, Gao Chang waved his hand: "It's not about this matter. Mr. He, what if you admit that what you said makes sense? How did we get up in the past two years? Are you still going to lose it? Southwest trains like that , can we learn it? According to the Southwest's set, if you want to be an upright official and enforce orders and prohibitions, how many people under my subordinates will immediately disobey me, and how many people under your subordinates will immediately disobey you!? Read, throughout the ages, which emperor did not become loyal like the buddies you mentioned, and then took over their rights after they got up, and took care of them as rich and idle people. You are not good, who will fight with you? Southwest Ningyi is high-sounding in the pamphlet Speaking of the people, his subordinates are not greedy? His subordinates are still greedy! He has been beaten year after year because of his prestige, his fists are ruthless, people are afraid of him, it is not because of his reason, and one day he will die Now, look at what that reasoning is worth!"

He Wen laughed: "It seems that General Gao still reads those pamphlets."

"Brother He, you and I can't take it. If this is your way of controlling power, it's fine, but if you want to control power, kill the three of them, or kill Zhou Shang, why do you use the hat of the reading club? You have the strength to fight four. Is it? There are no outsiders today, you tell me the truth, let go of the study club, and I will always help you."

Gao Chang's eyes were sincere. He Wen sat down beside him and poured himself a cup of tea, as if deliberating. After a while, he sighed: "General Gao, in the past two years, the FAIR Party has gone too fast. Indeed, I also know that there are some things that you can't help yourself. The people around you point to the glory and wealth." Make a fortune. But as you said, if we can’t beat them, we can just surrender today, why go to the future and humiliate ourselves?”

"I said it, throughout the ages..."

"Throughout the ages, it has been like that in all dynasties because no one has ever trained soldiers like the Southwest! But today we have it! If we have it today, we will have it tomorrow! What has been counted throughout the ages is not counted tomorrow!" He Wen's voice was resolute, "General Gao, the expedient measure has come to an end. If the fair party wants to change, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has only this chance. With the help of the fire from the book club, and in the name of the Southwest, we must strictly enforce military discipline and internal affairs. Discipline, let everyone enforce orders and prohibit them, and stop messing around!"

"What do you do if you can't keep up?"

"Either I kill them or they kill me. General Gao, do you follow or not?"

"No one will follow you!" Gao Chang slapped his palm on the table, his beard and hair all stretched out, and he pointed at He Wen: "What the **** are you..." At this point, he hesitated for a moment, and then thought thought about it.

"You... have you cooperated with people from the southwest?"

He Wen looked at him: "...what if?"

"..."

"General Gao, your concerns are justified."

On September 11th, the cool autumn wind blows into the stretch of the house along with the evening sun, and He Wen spoke calmly.

"...Throughout the ages, no one has ever done this. If I had spoken empty words before this, no one would have believed me. But today's world is no longer yesterday. Southwest has done those things, and what they said has some People will believe it. If the fair party wants to innovate, it can be based on such people. With such people, we may be able to train soldiers like Southwest... We have been running forward for two years, and we will continue to run forward. There is no turning back, and in the end it was just the old path of the so-called peasant uprisings. Stopping now is the only chance. Maybe I will die, but if I know that I will die in the future, I want to give it a go.”

"Brother Gao... Do you follow, or not?"

…

There was a loud bang.

In the middle of the room, Gao Chang blasted the entire table, sawdust flying in the setting sun, his eyes were like blood, and he confronted He Wen—
