The dogs in Taiyuan City barked most of the night. When the fire in the valley on the outskirts of the city was extinguished, the noise in the city stopped.

In the early morning, the weather was gloomy, with sporadic light rain after the snow.

The snow that had fallen all night on the street was soaked by the rain and turned into mud as people walked by, making it look quite dirty.

Chu Yunqing felt refreshed and rested on the railing of the attic with one hand, holding hot tea in the other, letting the breeze spread across the floor and the cool rain and mist fall on his face.

"It's so comfortable." He sighed.

Ke Fang yawned on the side and couldn't help but roll his eyes when looking at his back.

The other party slept comfortably last night, but he didn't sleep all night. He just kept an eye on the news in the valley and in the city, not daring to slack off for a moment.

He was afraid that someone from the Red Flame Cult would miss the point, and someone who knew the inside story, or even Luo Qianqian, would be caught. In that case, he and Chu Yunqing might be implicated.

Therefore, Ke Fang sent manpower inside and outside the city to keep an eye on the situation, just to grasp the first move and to make preparations in advance.

Fortunately, the people from the Red Flame Sect really succeeded.

Although it snowed all night, the raging fire in the valley was extinguished only at dawn, and the mountains were bare and pitch black, as bleak as it could be.

I hope that the vegetation around the valley will be fine and there will be some greenery next year. Ke Fang clasped his hands together.

He prayed in his heart that everything he did because of the damned Prince Yong's Mansion and the people of the Red Flame Sect had nothing to do with him or someone.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the big gang leader Chu Yunqing.

And when Ke Fang saw the officials in the government returning exhausted after a long night's work, he rushed to the entrance of the main hall, thinking of taking a rest for an hour.

Unexpectedly, it was already dawn and Chu Yun woke up.

There was no other way, Ke Fang could only endure his tiredness and reported to him in detail what happened last night.

However, Ke Fang had another thought, and that was to take a closer look at what Chu Yunqing had done when he got up in the morning.

After all, the day's plan begins in the morning. People who practice martial arts, regardless of their inner and outer family, will definitely have to master martial arts once they get up early in the morning.

External practitioners practice boxing and kicking, moving the muscles and bones, and transporting Qi and blood. Internal practitioners practice Qi, regulating internal breath, and stretching the meridians.

This is all very particular.

In the past, Ke Fang had to do boxing himself, and it was taboo to watch others practice, so he never had a chance.

This time was different. I happened to bump into Chu Yunqing who had gotten up and finished washing up. When I reported the situation, the other party obviously had no intention of avoiding it.

Then take a closer look at his maternal skills?

Then, Ke Fang watched blankly as Chu Yunqing stood there and recited the introduction to martial arts, and then watched him perform a series of unstructured and chaotic punches.

Finally, this person calls it a day!

Ke Fang was confused. Is this the end?

He was a little hurt in his heart, feeling that everyone in Lei Jie Gu and his party had lived and died together, and now they were still guarding against him.

Gan!

Of course Chu Yunqing noticed Ke Fang's gaze and understood his expression.

So, after thinking about it, I didn't say it directly, but explained it secretly during the conversation.

The general idea is, 'The Thunder Tribulation Sword is not so easy to control. I study this sword every day, so I am somewhat affected by the Tribulation Thunder banned on the sword, so I can't over-transport the energy and blood, I can only warm up my body.'

In fact, ever since he came back from Thunder Tribulation Valley, he had randomly found a sheath for this sword and locked it in a dark room in his room without even looking at it.

But the fierce power of the Thunder Tribulation Sword was still in front of him, so Ke Fang believed it at that time and advised Chu Yunqing to take good care of his body and pay attention to temperance.

Chu Yunqing really thanked him for his concern.

…

"What's going on at Prince Yong's Mansion?" Chu Yunqing asked.

Ke Fang resisted the urge to yawn, and said with dark circles under his eyes: "There hasn't been any movement yet, but our people are watching over there. If there is any movement, we will send it to you."

Chu Yunqing glanced at him and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, seeing how sleepy you are, you might as well go and take a nap."

Ke Fang immediately shook his head and patted his chest, "It's just that I didn't sleep all night. That's nothing."

Chu Yunqing hates seeing other people show off, "Well, when it comes time to do the math, all the shops are already preparing to collect their accounts at the end of the year. You should go and have a look."

Ke Fang's face was bitter.

The Yuanxing Gang's business is spread all over the four major cities in Taiyuan City, covering a wide range of areas. Not to mention one Ke Fang, even ten Ke Fang can't cover it in one day.

Chu Yunqing waved his hand, "Okay, go and have a rest."

Ke Fang scratched his head, cupped his fists and bowed, then retreated.

Chu Yunqing looked at the streets and alleys in the slanting wind and drizzle, took a sip of tea, and suddenly felt a little sad.

He missed Yan Hongran a little.

She has been gone for almost a month, and along with her, Qing Fei disappeared that night.

I don't know if she followed Gu He.

Chu Yunqing thought of Gu He's cold and unfamiliar tone at that time, and his indifference towards Yan Hongran, and a deep sense of self-blame welled up in his heart, making him feel even more uncomfortable.

Sometimes, he would think of Yan Hongran in one of his inadvertent actions.

When you think about it, your thoughts will slow down for a few seconds before you think about it again, and you will feel a small but moving feeling of fear.

At first, Chu Yunqing thought this was a bit unreasonable, but it was not until later that he realized it.

--He and Yan Hongran knew each other for a while, supported each other, and walked together step by step. Inevitably, he was stained with some of Yan Hongran's qualities, and they quietly attached themselves to life.

Chu Yunqing took a deep breath, suppressed the sudden surge of sadness, looked at the gloomy sky, and smiled.

People can't always live in the past.

The light rainy weather doesn't seem too bad.

…

In Prince Yong's palace, Zhou Yong couldn't help but get angry.

In the hall, the staff member Gongsun Zhe's face was as dark as water, and the face of Taiyuan City guard Yuan Jinglong was also ugly.

"These thieves from Chi Yan's teaching dare to attack this king!" Zhou Yong threw the tea cup.

Yuan Jinglong shuddered, stood up quickly, clasped his fists to plead guilty, "This is the last general who has neglected his duty, please forgive me."

Prince Yong's Mansion was not allowed to support private soldiers, and the valley where Xiaoyaosan's workshop was located was sixty miles southwest of the city. This fact could not be concealed from the garrison general Yuan Jinglong.

Therefore, even if he is not Zhou Yong's person, he has become a person in the interest chain of Zhou Yong Xiaoyaosan.

He specially selected his confidants. On weekdays, he would divide two teams into patrolling around in the name of investigation, not only to watch out for bandits and gangsters in the green forest, but also to drive away ordinary people heading to the valley.

Usually, these people are killed and silenced. Once they encounter serious trouble, they will issue rocket orders and have the authority to suppress the bandits and eradicate them at their root.

We have been working together like this for several years and everything is going smoothly.

So every time it's midsummer or winter, especially on a snowy day like last night, the patrolling officers and soldiers from these two teams would just take a hasty turn and go back to the camp. Anyway, there haven't been any mistakes for many years.

But I never expected that just last night, the workshop in the valley was bombed, the prepared Xiaoyao Powder was looted, and even the pharmacists and craftsmen were killed.

The person who did such a thing was actually the Scarlet Flame Sect that had almost disappeared!

A fire burned all the years of hard work in Prince Yong's palace. How could this prevent Zhou Yong from vomiting blood?

The duty of patrolling the guards has always fallen on Yuan Jinglong, and this time he lost hundreds of thousands of silver. What's even more serious is the people who died refining Xiaoyaosan!
