The night in Fuzhou gradually passed with a slight chill, and when I woke up from my sleep, it was already the morning of May 29th. Ning Ji and Qu Longjun got up together for some exercise, then brushed their teeth and washed their faces. Qu Longjun didn't wear the light women's clothing she used to wear at home today, but still dressed in men's attire. While brushing her teeth, she chatted with Ning Ji about what happened yesterday.

"That Yu Hezhang will probably come again in the next few days."

"I'll just scare him a bit and reject anything he says."

"They were doing rebellious things by killing yellow dogs in Pucheng County before, and now they've suddenly all come to Fuzhou. They're probably going to do something big."

Qu Longjun thought for a while, but couldn't come up with much at the moment.

The reunion with Yu Hezhang, Meng Biao, and their group was just a small accident. After last night's conflict, the two sides chatted for a while in front of Auntie Pang's rice cake stall.

After witnessing Ning Ji's skills, Yu Hezhang clearly showed great interest in the two of them. But due to the hasty meeting, the two sides didn't exchange much key information last night.

Yu Hezhang asked why the two of them came to set up a stall in Yinqiao Ward, and was turned away by Qu Longjun and Ning Ji with words similar to "none of your business." As for the reason why the other party came to Fuzhou, it was not surprising, aside from the details. Roughly, the bad guys were ordered by the head of the bad guys to come to Fuzhou to do something bad...

Ning Ji is now a respectable person and no longer has much interest in these bad people and bad deeds. Although he will watch the excitement, he also hopes that when the other party splatters blood, it won't splash on his face.

Of course, Yu Hezhang's martial arts are not high, and the lackeys around him are also quite limited in their skills. For Ning Ji, they are not a big threat. He is now determined to be a law-abiding citizen. If the other party is sensible, that's good. If they are not, he will kill them, or hand them over to Zuo Wenxuan and Zuo Xingzhou, who will naturally make them disappear.

Since he had made up his mind, he could temporarily put the whole thing behind him. However, when he went to the printing factory in the city that afternoon, he found that a new volume of "The Legend of Yan Jiuniang" had come out, so he excitedly took two boxes.

Qu Longjun rushed home to read it, then took Xuan paper, grinded ink, and wrote a few flamboyant advertising characters, and then found a wooden board to paste them on. Ning Ji watched with admiration, and finally said: "My... my dad can also write this..."

At night, the two went to Yinqiao Ward to set up their stall, and Yu Hezhang came as expected.

This time he only brought Meng Biao, who had previously been in contact with Ning Ji and others. After bowing, he was about to speak when two women squeezed over in surprise and bowed deeply to "Young Master Long," then began to chatter about their reading experiences. Qu Longjun also began to chat with the two women in a gentle manner about the contents of the new volume of "The Legend of Yan Jiuniang."

Ning Ji went over to grab Yu Hezhang and Meng Biao, pushing them aside: "You two wait a moment, don't disturb our business."

Qu Longjun recommends "The Legend of Yan Jiuniang" to wealthy women not by selling in bulk, but by selling to the heart. She patiently talks with the other party, discusses the contents of the book, her own thoughts, and even knowledge about all parts of the world. After piling up a high value for the "Yan Jiuniang" in this book, she then attaches some surrounding items such as daggers and short swords to make money. Because of this, her conversation with each woman is not short. Seeing that "Young Master Long" was chatting happily with the women, Yu Hezhang and Meng Biao knew that they couldn't just interrupt, so they had to go to the rice cake stall next to them to patronize Auntie Pang's business.

Meng Biao frowned and whispered to Yu Hezhang: "Brother Yu, look, I told you a long time ago, he grew up like this, how can he lack women. What is the name of 'Five-Foot Lust Demon'? Is it someone else who framed him? He doesn't cause trouble when he arrives in Fuzhou. Could it be that he is a moral figure? Then it's hard to say which side he is on..."

"We are also upright people, but occasionally we need to find some people to do things..." Yu Hezhang glared at him, then lowered his voice: "People's names are like trees' shadows. How could the rumors in Jianghu be so wrong... Moreover, let's not talk about the news outside, just talk about you. If you had his martial arts, would you be willing to set up a small stall to earn money when you arrive in Fuzhou?"

Meng Biao thought about the pressure that the other party's brother had shown yesterday: "If I had such skills, I would naturally do a big job."

"Short-sighted, with such skills, people will naturally send money to your door." Yu Hezhang said, "He doesn't lack money now, pretending to set up a small stall, he must have something in mind. And think about it, even if he sets up such a small stall, he is now in contact with these girls who look rich. You pig brain, things are abnormal, this just proves that he must be the rumored Lust Demon. It's just that his skills are much higher than us ordinary people."

The two analyzed in detail,啧啧称叹(ze ze cheng tan - clicked their tongues in admiration). On the other side, Qu Longjun's way with women was really remarkable. The first two women had not yet been sent away, and another passing girl joined in, took a new book, and began to listen to Qu Longjun talking nonsense about the story in the book. After a while, a reading club was opened in front of the stall.

A prostitute even took the opportunity to touch Qu Longjun's hand. After Qu Longjun restrained himself with discretion, the woman blushed and left. The other women chattered in condemnation, adding more admiration to his image of a gentleman.

Ning Ji哼哼唧唧(heng heng ji ji - grunted and groaned) put the stall in order, did some chores, and then, at Qu Longjun's suggestion, put a few money-making "peripherals" in a conspicuous place. Because he could cheat a lot of money, he temporarily endured the discomfort in his heart and did not make trouble. Even when his cute appearance caused others to tease him, he did not immediately argue with others. He just endured it here, couldn't stand it anymore, collected a sum of money, and turned around and went out to squander it.

He sat down at Yu Hezhang and Meng Biao's table.

Yu Hezhang said, "Young heroes, your business is really good. I wonder if you need Yu to help you..."

Ning Ji glanced at him: "What help can you offer?"

Yu Hezhang nodded in shame, deeply agreeing with Sun Shaoxia's dislike.

He was just talking with Meng Biao, talking about other Lust Demons and flower thieves in the green forest, who simply saw that the girls in a certain family were beautiful and took them because of lust. But the current Five-Foot Lust Demon, setting up a stall here, the women attracted are like fishing and nesting. How many orioles and swallows have been attracted this time. He couldn't even imagine what kind of perverted things would happen next.

Recalling the skills of "Sun Wukong" he saw last night, if the two were also doing such things in Jiangning, then it would be no wonder that "King Equality" Shi Baofeng would offer a sky-high reward to hunt down the two.

Thinking like this, he said to the "Sun Wukong" in front of him: "Then, Young Hero Sun, I wonder when Young Hero Long will be free tonight?"

"He's not free tonight. Let's talk about anything. It's the same."

"...Oh, is that..."

"Go to the ice powder shop."

Rejecting Yu Hezhang's job was originally scheduled to be done by Ning Ji, after all, if it was not smooth, he might have to beat them up. He didn't hesitate now, led the two to Xiang Jia Cong Shi next to him, went straight to the big fool's private room on the second floor, and said: "You pay."

What Yu Hezhang wanted to say was not something that could be publicized in public, so he gladly accepted this. At this time, after sitting down and exchanging greetings briefly, he began to get to the point.

"...Young Brother Sun and Young Brother Long below should be clear about the recent situation. It is the time when heroes from all over the world gather in Fuzhou..."

"...To the north, 'Sea Tiger' Niu Yunqiu, Hero Niu, has led heroes from all over Jiangnan south to join in the grand event; to the east, Xu Nanjiang, Hero Xu, is gathering righteousness in Jianghu Village, and has already severely repelled the first wave of attacks from the government; and Cao Jinlong, the original leader of the alliance in the south, has now arrived in Fuzhou..."

"...We have the缘分(yuan fen - fate, affinity) of Pucheng County, so Yu doesn't need to beat around the bush. We came to Fuzhou this time precisely for the big event that may happen in June..."

"...The reason for this matter is not easy to publicize for the time being. To be honest, even Yu is not very clear about it at this moment. But my master is now recruiting troops for this big event, and Yu has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility and has already gathered a group of reliable brothers. But Young Hero Sun and Young Hero Long have family origins and are so skilled in martial arts that Yu has only seen in his life. Therefore... that's why I took the liberty to visit."

"...Young Brother Sun, Yu is not pretentious. If you join us, first... there will be this amount..."

……

The summer heat rises, and the ice powder in his hand brings a pleasant coolness. Looking down from the window of the private room of Xiang Jia Cong Shi, the lively buying and selling scene in front of the stall is still going on.

Yu Hezhang's solicitation in front of him is not very new. The price he offered is not low. He may value fame and fortune with heavy promises, but his position is originally a pawn connecting the upper and lower levels of the family. Even if he does well in Pucheng County and is trusted, many key information may not be fully disclosed.

Ning Ji has already decided not to participate in this matter, and it is not troublesome to refuse. Sometimes he says: "You can't even say what you want to do, and you still invite me to join you. What if I'm tricked by you bastards." Sometimes he also said: "My brother and I are law-abiding citizens who have come to Fuzhou to do business and will not get involved in your rubbish." When he was annoyed, he said: "If you dare to make noise again, I will not only kill you, but also dig up the ancestral graves of your boss." Yu and Meng knew that he was an evil sect master, young, skilled in martial arts, and unruly, so they were not angry.

After finishing the cold drink, he packed another one, and Ning Ji left the building. When he returned to the stall, he handed the cold drink to Qu Longjun, and someone in the crowd joked at him: "Young Brother Sun, can't you also treat us to something delicious?" Ning Ji wanted to help, but now he撇撇嘴(pie pie zui - curled his lips), and walked away for the sake of money.

Since he has been temporarily targeted by Yu Hezhang and others, to avoid accidents, Ning Ji only walked around in some shops not far from the stall for pleasure.

Above the second floor of Xiang Jia Cong Shi, Yu Hezhang and Meng Biao opened another private room, and then pushed open a little window, observing the movements of the cargo stall here.

It is easy to find desperate criminals in Jianghu, but it is really difficult to find great masters of this level. What's more, these two people do not have a good reputation. It is not difficult to buy evil sect figures with no principles with benefits, and at least it is easier to believe in him without too much temptation.

For Yu Hezhang, being able to win over two such masters, his position in the main family will naturally rise.

The question is how to投其所好(tou qi suo hao - cater to his tastes) and find

Find the point of interest that the other party is really interested in.

This requires observation.

Some time ago, Qu Longjun used "The Legend of Yan Jiuniang" and his own conversation and temperament to gather some "fans" here. Today, with the new book on the market, the area near the stall is quite lively from beginning to end. Some women in the Jinqiao Ward brothel have also sent maids to take a look, but they do not buy it, but say that they will come after the casual customers to meet with "Young Master Long" in person.

At戌时三刻(xu shi san ke - the third quarter of Xu time, around 9:45 PM) on this day, a figure passed through the crowd and found a table at Auntie Pang's rice cake stall and sat down.

This person was dressed casually, with a gloomy look, unshaven beard, and a chest hair凛凛(lin lin - awe-inspiring) like a great hero. He observed the miscellaneous goods cart next to him at the table for a while.

He came to cause trouble, and originally wanted to find a gap to grab someone, but the pesky women were always there, one left, and the second came, which made his expression a little irritable. He simply called Auntie Pang over, ordered something to eat from her, and then chatted a few words about the cart next to him, such as: "Where's your nephew? Why hasn't he appeared today?"

When he heard the other party answer: "Oh, that's not my nephew, it's just a troublemaker." He realized that he had indeed been tricked by someone a few days ago.

The person who came here at this time was naturally Yue Yun.

Smoke rises from the food stall.

The road is full of people.

Yue Yun took a couple of bites of food, looked at the side, and found Auntie Pang again to ask a few questions. Auntie Pang said: "The two young brothers next door, that Young Brother Sun is a little胡闹(hu nao - fooling around), but he's not a bad person. As for this Long Aotian, Young Brother Long, he's beautiful and knows etiquette. I think he must be a good person. Young Master Yue, if you have something, don't wrong him."

Yue Yun couldn't finish listening, stood up from his seat, and looked at the miscellaneous goods stall.

A customer who had returned the rice cake bowl was walking away from his sight.

The figure of the teenager appeared two丈(zhang - a unit of length, approximately 3.3 meters) away. It was the person who had been拉着他撒泼(la zhe ta sa po - grabbed him and acted shamelessly) a few days ago, accusing him of bullying the people.

At this moment, Yue Yun did not restrain his murderous intent.

The other party looked at him naturally, and neither did he.

At the miscellaneous goods stall, Qu Longjun was still chatting and laughing with everyone about the book; on the second floor of Xiang Jia Cong Shi, Yu Hezhang and Meng Biao pushed open the windows, staring dumbfounded at this scene.

"This...what's going on..."
