Ambition of the Wind and Cloud

The place where the Lie Yan Gang was founded is close to the branch of the Minjiang River, whether it is close or far from Tianxiahui.Nie Feng set off in the morning and galloped all the way. It was only in the evening that he finally arrived.

Resting at the inn for the night, Nie Feng waited for the reinforcements sent by Ying Zheng, while inquiring about the news of the Lie Yan Gang.

The Raging Flames Gang was originally a second-rate gang in Jianghu. Because the girl of the gang leader is as beautiful as a fairy, she was fortunate to be favored by Hong Qing, the leader of Qingyun Gang, the third largest gang in the world, and accepted as a concubine. The Flame Gang also relied on nepotism.Since then, the Raging Flame Gang has collected supplies and expanded its territory all the way. The gang leader has a lot of skills and has recruited many masters. In a short period of time, they quickly surpassed the previous gangs and squeezed into the ranks of first-class gangs.

Not long ago, the Lie Yan Gang annexed a second-rate gang, and now they are also in charge of a city.It's just that the population of this city is quite small, only one-third of that of Wushuang City, and the level of development is not comparable to that of such old forces as Wushuang City.

With the current strength of the Tianxiahui, Wushuang City is not enough to fear at the end of the crossbow, and Lie Yan Gang, a gang that hangs at the end of the first class, is naturally not worth mentioning.However, Ying Zheng's target was obviously not only the Flame Gang whose foundation was unstable, but also the Qingyun Gang standing behind the Flame Gang.In terms of terrain, the Qingyun Gang is located in a place that must be contested by military strategists; in terms of the current situation, the Qingyun Gang is ambitious, and its power is bordering on the Tianxiahui. Ying Zheng lost patience with him.

It can be said that what Yingzheng really wants to attack is the Qingyun gang, and the Lieyan gang is just an appetizer before the meal, plus a target for Nie Feng to practice.

At noon the next day, Nie Feng joined the reinforcements sent by Ying Zheng.Because he didn't want to attract attention, Ying Zheng didn't send many people, except for Nie Feng, there were only four of them, but all of them were elites.What's even more rare is that these four are also formation masters, and they are quite good at forming formations. Together with Nie Feng, who is also proficient in formations, they can just complete a five-element formation.Such a lineup shows that Ying Zheng attaches great importance to Nie Feng's first experience.

After the five of them dressed up in disguise, they entered the most lively Yuelai Restaurant in the city. They didn't care about it, because it was the most crowded place, and it was a good place to inquire about news.

Seeing the wonderful scene of singing and dancing along the way, Nie Feng couldn't help being a little puzzled, so he said to the five people beside him: "Didn't you say that the people under the rule of Lie Yan Gang are miserable? Now I see that every family is rich and the people live and work in peace and contentment. , it’s not like what Master said... Could it be that there is something hidden in it?”

Mohism advocates 'non-aggression', unless the ruler implements tyranny, only those who practice Mohism's kung fu will come forward to do justice for the sky.If the internal affairs of the Raging Flame Gang were not as dark as he thought before, Nie Feng would not be willing to disturb the peaceful life of the people here, as it would make him feel guilty.

Nie Feng's voice is not loud, and in this noisy environment, he is not eye-catching.

However, the masked man opposite Nie Feng heard it. He put down the tea bowl in his hand and said coldly: "Rich? Now you live in the place where the core members of the gang live, and the city is full of 'big shots' who hold wealth and power. Relatives are naturally rich. If you go west of the city for a while and look at the life scenes of the people there, you will know what the difference between heaven and hell is."

Although his voice was steady all the time, when he said it later, there was obviously some sarcasm.Several circles of iron rings on the arm clanged with his movements, as if telling the master's true mood.

He is angry.

Seeing that he seemed to know a lot of secrets, Nie Feng walked up to him and asked, "Brother, what do you say?"

The man raised his arm and pointed to a screen not far away.Nie Feng followed where he was pointing, and could vaguely see behind the screen a middle-aged man flirting with a few beautiful wives and concubines in his arms.

At such an absurd and obscene scene, Nie Feng turned his head away after just one glance, his face was flushed, and he didn't dare to look directly at it.However, the companions around the middle-aged man were not ashamed, but proud, and clapped their hands and applauded.

"Did you see it?" The masked man said: "That is Qian Tongtian, who is in charge of the finances of the Lie Yan Gang. As for the quality of life, he arbitrarily increased taxes and miscellaneous taxes, making the people miserable. The previous one, even for the sake of animal lust, took a young girl who was waiting for her husband into captivity. Her family refused to obey and resisted desperately. The family of five ...was beaten to death."

When Nie Feng heard this, he was quite angry.He was just young, when his sense of justice was strongest: "If he committed such a crime, wouldn't someone punish him?"

The masked man shook his head: "In the Lie Yan Gang, the high-level members are protecting each other, so who dares to touch him? However, I don't believe that there is no kingly law in this world. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Anyone who commits a crime must be punished." Pay for what you did!"

Someone at the side drank wine, stumbled over, accidentally bumped into the corner of this table.The table shook violently, and a lot of tea in the bowl spilled out.

The man raised his head, looked at the masked man who seemed to have a double image in front of him, hiccupped, pointed at him and said, "Catch...Catch God, it's you? Why, you haven't given up... Sigh, hunt... Manager Qian Huh? I told you that it is impossible for the guild master to...give his nephew to you. I don't want to attract...the guild lord's pursuit. Slightly, you'd better...let's stop here..."

The man known as Catcher sits in danger, unmoved: "I will never let anyone who is on my hunting list escape!"

"Insane, looking for death... I don't care about you, I don't care about you..." The man walked away cursing all the way: "I want... to tell the leader..."

Catching God withdrew his gaze from the man, and suddenly said: "Are you Nie Feng?"

Nie Feng was startled: "Why do you know? Could it be that we have met before?" He quickly searched in his mind before he was sure that he had never met this person.Nie Feng has always had an excellent memory, and he is quite confident in his own memory.

"No reason, I've seen the head portraits of you, Qin Shuang, Duanlang, and Bu Jingyun." What he said was as ordinary as eating and drinking in the past, but Nie Feng keenly caught a sense of strangeness from it.They had never met before, why did he feel that the man in front of him was very familiar with the four of them, and he still didn't like them?Nie Feng frowned.

On the other side, the four people who came with Nie Feng listened to the conversation and secretly became vigilant.

"I really don't like you, you don't need to know why." Catcher said again: "This time, you accepted the task of Tianxiahui and came here?"

"Sorry, it's hard to answer." Nie Feng, who has no eyes, has not yet understood. His words have already exposed half of the reason for this future.

"It's okay, even if you don't answer, I know." After a pause, Catching God lowered his voice, almost whispering: "What does he want to do?"

Nie Feng looked at Hunting God, and a strange feeling of disobedience came to his heart.

After drinking all the tea, catch the gods and leave.Although Nie Feng is quite curious about the matter of catching gods, the task at hand is the most important.Thinking of what Catcher said just now, that many people in this city are still in dire straits, Nie Feng feels uneasy, and must see it with his own eyes.

A few days later, Nie Feng finally understood the meaning of those words that Catching God said.

As he walked along the way, the more he watched, the more shocking he became.People in the West District live like beggars, and some families even have to sell their children to survive.The top brass of the Flame Gang turned a blind eye to this, and still lived their luxurious and decadent life, plundering wealth from the people who were already overwhelmed.When watching a real tax collection scene appear in front of him, Nie risked not being able to control his emotions. That scene was really "clamoring from east to west, and from north to south".

There are even those dandies who specially gather in the slums and ride horses to commit crimes. They laugh when they run into people and kill them in the street. The people are miserable, but because of the power of their families, they dare not say anything more.

This practice of not treating human life as human life made Nie Feng very angry.He wanted to go forward to argue with those people, but was pulled back by the people in the slums. It was an old lady with a grandson, her expression was full of misery: "Forget it, if you offend them this time, come back next time, I will definitely We must intensify."

Numbness and patience seem to be the instinct of the people in the West District, or it is a kind of helpless compromise.

Coming back from the suburbs, Nie Feng was in a heavy heart. Walking on the busy street, his mind was full of the scenes he saw from the slums just now.Under the contrast between the two compartments, the prosperity in front of you looks so ironic.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Jin Miao beside him suddenly tugged on his sleeve when he was about to fall into a daze: "Look, is that man a catcher?"

Nie Feng raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure huddled in the alley.There were some dark red marks on the ground around the man. At this moment, he was covering his wound, panting slightly, and it seemed that he had suffered a serious injury.

Since we met once, it's not easy to let it go.Moreover, Catching God is a decent person, and Nie Feng still has some admiration for him in his heart.

Nie Feng stepped forward and stopped three steps away from Catching God: "How are you? Is it okay?"

Catching God half of the mask slipped off, opened his eyes and glanced at Nie Feng, and suddenly fell headlong to the ground.

In the past, he always wanted to maintain justice in the world with the weapons in his hands.The man said that he could only save one or two people, but he was not worthy to say that the world is alive. He didn't believe it at first, but now, he has to admit that there are some things that he really can't do...
