In the narrow alley under the night, the masked man was carefully exploring the way in front, and Brother Pao and Erdao followed behind.

Outside the alley, you can hear the sound of someone running by quickly from time to time. The people were searching the city, as if they were about to turn the outer city to the sky.

Erdao slowed down and said in a silence: "Brother, will we only divide 10% of the money, and will it be a little short?"

Brother Pao glanced at the back of the masked man: "I'm not afraid of having less money, but I'm afraid I can't even get a penny. This person can't even recognize the road to the outer city. Can we believe him? "

Erdao whispered: "His one has a problem?"

Brother Pao nodded, "If he didn't say 'If he saw injustice on the road, he would still believe it, but you have also seen it. How can we help others when we see injustice on the road? It would be nice if we don't sell you according to the pound."

Erdao looked solemn: "What should I do?"

Brother Pao scratched his scalp with his little finger: "Run? No, we can't ignore morality."

At this time, there were fourteen or five other Hutchisons outside the alley, passing through the entrance of the alley.

Someone whispered: "You go to Fulai Inn in the east, Wang Dong, you go to Zhuangyuan Inn. Remember, if you meet a scholar who goes to Beijing to take the exam, don't mess with the future official."

The masked man pulled Brother Pao and Erdao, hid side by side in the shadow of blue bricks and gray tiles, and waited for Hutchison to leave the stick.

In silence, the masked man suddenly asked, "What are you talking about just now?"

Brother Pao responded: "We are saying that it is extremely thrilling tonight. If the benefactor does not appear, we brothers will be there."

The masked man nodded: "I wonder if Brother Pao, where did you learn that wrestling technique?"

In the darkness, Brother Pao's pupils shrank, but his face remained unchanged: "I learned from my master in my hometown of Yuzhou. My teacher is good at wrestling skills."

"Oh?" said the masked man casually: "Since he is good at wrestling, he must be very famous. I might have heard of his name."

Brother Pao's face was hidden in the shadow: "The teacher is not famous, he is a hermit."

The masked man said again: "Will I visit me easily? I'm also interested in this."

Brother Pao smiled and said, "He's dead."

"Does this wrestling technique have a name?"

“Jitsujitsu.”

"Why is it called Jiu Jitsu?"

"Well...the technique of using softness to overcome hardness."

The masked man listened to Brother Pao's serious eyes talking, but he didn't expose it.

He turned his head and glanced at the two of them: "Let me tell me how many sticks Hutchison and Fu Ruixiang have, which one is stronger and who is weaker now? How many people are staring in the eight great alleys?"

Brother Pao leaned against the wall and introduced: "This outer city is divided into Badafang, Chongbeifang, Chongnanfang, Zhengbeifang, Zhengnanfang... In the Badafang, four are in the hands of Heji, three are in Furuixiang's hands, and Chongnanfang belongs to the Caogang."

Brother Pao continued: "In addition to Badafang, among them Liulichang, Panjiayuan, and Bada Hutong, the most expensive places in these three places are single-handedly taken out, and the territory is determined by leaving the wrestle every month. Hutchison maintains 700 people, and Fu Ruixiang maintains 600 or 700 people."

The masked man frowned: "So many?"

Brother Pao quietly observed the masked man’s reaction: “My benefactor, how many people do you have?”

The masked man responded casually: "After thirty."

Brother Pao was stunned: "These businesses have been entrenched in the capital for a long time. If you only have more than 30 people under your command, I advise you to get out as soon as possible."

The masked man did not answer. He listened to the quietness outside the alley, turned around and left the alley, and headed straight for Xuanwu Gate.

When he was about to arrive at Xuanwu Gate, Brother Pao saw more than 20 soldiers from five cities on duty in front of Zhu Hong’s gate from a distance. He called out: “My benefactor, I don’t have an inner city household registration and no official road leads, so I can’t get in!”

But as soon as the words were finished, the three of them shouted again with sticks. Brother Pao turned around and saw a fire shaking behind the continuous roof. He was getting closer and closer. He had to bite the bullet and go to Xuanwu Gate with the masked man.

When passing Xuanwu Gate, the soldiers of the five cities of the military commanders raised their long halberds in their hands: "The inner city household registration, or the road guide... take off the cloth from your face!"

The masked man took out a waist sign and waved past him.

But when the soldiers of the Wucheng Military Police changed their expressions, they hurriedly retreated aside and did not make any sound. Brother Pao looked at each other and was surprised.

The masked man led Brother Pao and Erdao to a inn, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into their hands: "I think I can't enter the inner city after I come here to fight. You two will rest here today. At the hour of tomorrow, I will whistle outside the inn, and then we will go to Lishamao Hutong to set up sticks."

After saying that, the masked man turned around and walked away. It was not until he walked out of several streets that Chen Ji pulled down the masked cloth and breathed a long sigh.

He rubbed his cheeks and sighed: "How did you come to this world?"

At this moment, Erdao stood in front of the inn gate and turned to look at Brother Pao: "Brother, are we going to wait for him?"

Brother Pao shook his head: "You can't wait. He only has more than 30 people under him. If you go to the camp, you can only seek death... Let's go."

...

...

In the early morning, the rooster crowed.

When Xiaoman held the little black cat and opened his eyes, there was no trace of the old trace on the bed, leaving only a note on the table: borrow six carriages from the Zhang family.

Chen Ji went out of the side door of Qinzheng Garden alone, and in front of the door, he was leaning against the wall and yawning.

When he saw Chen Ji come out, he immediately came to his senses and went forward to seek credit: "Master, I'll get the bamboo you want back, and it's put in the Governor's Office."

Li Xuan frowned and said, "Do you still need your master to praise you for doing such a small thing?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "I heard that the fight in the outer city started last night. Have you heard of it?"

Li Xuan shook his head: "I didn't hear that those who were not allowed to fight, and they dared not make trouble in front of the officials in the inner city. If they really made trouble, they caused the soldiers and horse officials in the five cities to come forward to suppress them, and many people would die."

Chen Ji suddenly realized that no wonder he was stopped by someone at the same time by bringing the sticks to Baishunhu.

Qi Jingju asked sneakily: "Master, did you go to the Bada Hutong last night? Why don't you call me?"

Chen Ji casually said, "I went to Tianqiao to watch it yesterday. When I came back, I passed by Zhengyangmen and happened to see the shouts of beating and killing inside. By the way, Hutchison from the outer city, have you heard of Fu Ruixiang? What's the origin?"

Qi Jingju shook his head: "Who cares about those inferior ones?"

The three of them crossed the Taiping Bridge and Li Xuan said: "I have heard that Hutchison is a time-honored brand. There are also some wine shops and brothel industries under his jurisdiction, but the main source of money is to bully the market and collect Ping An's money. However, it was not like this in the early years. The earliest ones were to guard the house and carry out the business of escorting the escort."

Turning into the West Chang'an Street, Li Xuan continued: "Welcome to the Book of Truth and Righteousness, the old gang leader was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. He was eager for justice. If the people on the road were in trouble, he would go out to help. This man was also jealous of evil and never interfered with bandits. He relied on his strong skills to walk and cross the bridge. Legend has it that a man in the martial arts world who he once helped fell into a bandit in Taihang Mountain. When he passed by Taihang Mountain in the thirteenth year of the gang, the horse bandit heard that he was going to pass by here, so he went down the mountain to guard the roadside to toast a bowl of wine. The old gang leader did not drink, but killed the horse bandit himself, and asked everyone to witness it, and distributed the money and goods on the mountain to the victims who were invaded by horse bandits in nearby counties."

Qi Jingzhao widened his eyes: "I used to be a friend, so I killed him if I say he wants to kill him?"

Li Xuan glanced at him sideways and said, "What are you a bandit in Taihang Mountain? All famous bandits have hundreds of lives on their hands. There are dozens of women who have taken back from the mountain. There are people in the village at the foot of the mountain to get married. The bride wants to leave it for them on the first night. Why not kill such people? I want to say, kill it well!"

Let's think about it and smash it, and then the mouth: "That's true."

Chen Ji said carelessly: "How did Huji become like this now?"

Li Xuan shook his head: "I grew up in front of Zhengyang Gate in the outer city. I have been squatting outside the teahouse and listening to stories by storytellers. This old gang leader is a regular visitor to the storyteller in the outer city, so I have heard of it, but I don't know anything else."

Chen Ji asked again: "Who is behind Fu Ruixiang? Without Tongtian's relationship, you can't gain a foothold in the capital, right?"

Li Xuan shook his head again: "The people behind them are all mysterious. After all, everyone cherishes their reputation, and no one wants to have anything to do with these lower-ranking people. It makes people laugh at it when it is spread."

Chen Ji nodded, and the three of them turned along West Chang'an Street into the Yulin Army Governor's Office.

As soon as I entered the gate, I heard someone in the school yard cheering: "Think about it, hurry up and use your two bamboos to sweep the floor. The ash on this floor is just right to use your bamboo."

Qi Zhenzhuo scolded angrily: "Don't fart here. If you have nothing to do, get out of here. The reputation of the Yulin Army has been ruined by you!"

Chen Wenren had just changed his armor and came out of the Governor's Office. While lowering his head to tidy up his arm guards, he slowly said: "Think together, don't think that it's so great that you have gone to Guyuan. As far as I know, you have never killed the enemy in Guyuan."

All his thoughts changed his expression.

Chen Wenren tied up his arm guard and glanced sideways and thought: "Why, do you really think that others can't see the war report or the memorial?"

He waved his hand and someone threw a copy of the cabinet Zhu Pi in the schoolyard. With a snap, the hinges of Zhu Pi were scattered.

Chen Wenren sneered and said, "When the Tiance army attacked the prince, you hid on the roof of Longmen Inn. Later, you went into the well to take refuge. Someone abducted the prince but did not see you protecting him to the death. Instead, they were captured. Considering that all the Yulin Army around the prince were killed in battle, and you were alone. Tell me, who destroyed the reputation of the Yulin Army?"

All his face became dimmed.

Chen Wenren kicked Zhu Ci's memorial to all consider: "Have axe and practice the ceremonial guards well, don't think about some messy things, making achievements has nothing to do with you. Your brother-in-law is your brother-in-law, you are you, he will sooner or later go to the Long Live Army to pursue his future. Who else can protect you in the Yulin Army? You have never even killed anyone, so don't pretend to be a tiger in this fox every day."

All of them did not dare to say a word, which made a group of Yulin soldiers laugh beside Chen Wenren: "Stop practicing troops, Lord Qi, practice your courage first!"

Chen Ji glanced at them and pulled them into the yamen without saying a word to change into armor.

When changing the armor, he lowered his head and tied the straps of the front armor and said casually: "Argument is the most useless move in the world. If you practice the formation well, you will always be proud of yourself."

Qi Jingju took a deep breath: "Master, I understand...How can we practice? Do you use that bamboo? I'm afraid they will be laughed at again."

Chen Ji looked back at the school ground. Chen Wenren was carrying more than 200 Yulin soldiers with axes and halberds to train the ceremonial guards. He said calmly: "Close the door, let's practice in the corridor of the building."

All of them were puzzled: "Practice in the cover building of the Governor's Office? The corridor of this cover building can only accommodate three people. It is so narrow that it cannot be used."

Li Xuan thought: "Chen Ji, where is the mandarin duck array you mentioned suitable for use?"

Chen Ji stood in front of the door, closed his hands together, blocking the sun and eyes outside the door, and only a slight light shone through the white paper window.

Chen Ji turned around and stood in the dark governor's office: "Flat. Street fighting."

All thought carefully and said curiously: "Just practice in this Governor's Office?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "Practice in the Governor's Mansion during the day, and at night, I will take you to practice with real swords and guns."

At the hour of You, the west is sunset.
