Jinling in the 30s was no different from Hangzhou. People got up early, posted Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, children ran in the snow, smoke rose, and every house was filled with fragrance. Restaurants and brothels were also closed.

We saluted, exchanged a few words, and prepared for the reunion dinner in the evening.

Jiang Ning was no exception. The snow was foot high and he couldn't run. When he got up early in the morning, two brothers, Ding A and Ding Yi, had already cleared the yard. Jiang Ning practiced Bahuang Liuhe's internal strength twice. In one year, Jiang Ning can now walk.

Along the way, the inner strength of luck is also very strong. I also tried it in the alley a few days ago. There was no one around, and it was easy to climb over the wall.

This is contrary to the laws of physics, and Qinggong is the best example of this, but everything seems to be unable to escape from this law.

"Ms. sir, do you want to have hot pot today?" Wang Ruoyan said with a smile.

Jiang Ning collected his thoughts and turned around, only to see Wang Ruoyan slowly walking out of the room, his face a little pale, wondering if he didn't have a good rest, and then shook his head: "Of course we have to eat dumplings, everyone tonight

Let’s have a reunion dinner together.”

"After the New Year, we have to start work on the store. We have reached out to Jinling. The Nangong family will not sit still and wait for death. I have also thought about it these days. Although I agree with what my husband said before, we still have to do everything possible.

"I think the Nangong family's preparations are not simple..." Wang Ruoyan walked to Jiang Ning. Although it was the Chinese New Year, this trip to Jinling had tight time and heavy tasks, so he unconsciously talked about some business matters.

Since the last dispute between the emperor and the merchants, Wang Ruoyan would seek Jiang Ning's opinion on many things, because she could feel that Jiang Ning was much more capable than her in this area, but she didn't know why Jiang Ning was unwilling to reveal anything.

Jiang Ning could only say with relief: "Then make plans to retreat. Jinling is not as peaceful as we imagined."

After breakfast, everyone was busy making dumplings, but Jiang Ning went out and said he wanted to go for a walk and look around.

The teahouse was closed, but Jiang Ning reached the door, pushed the door open, and went in.

"Sir, something happened in Hangzhou..."

Jiang Ning put down the tea cup in his hand, looked up at Erqianxun and asked, "What happened? Is it the Wang family or Liu Ji?"

There are only two places that can make Jiang Ning worried. Erqian Xun has been working as an intelligence agent for so many years, so he naturally knows this, so he can only report these two points to Jiang Ning.

Erqianxun said hurriedly: "It's the Sihe Gang..."

"Sihe Gang? Isn't Wang Tongde there? There are two generals under his command, what could happen?" Jiang Ning asked in confusion: "There are four to five hundred brothers under his command, is it the government that took action?"

Erqianxun shook his head: "It was Kong Liang who brought the people down. The people who came were the bandits from Erlong Mountain. The leader was Lu Zhishen, the bandit Haohua monk. There were also a few good players among them, including Walker Wu Song and Green-faced Beast Yang.

Chi.”

"Last year, Baihu Mountain fought with the Sihe Gang, and Kong Liang died. These two were disciples of Song Jiang from Shuibo Liangshan. Song Jiang was originally a small official, but he was reported to the prison by his mistress for shielding the gangster who took over the birth plan.

In prison, Liangshan people and others robbed the execution ground, then went up the mountain, and now they are recruiting people all over the world in the green forests, hiding in the mountains.

It has the potential to become bigger. Kong Liang originally went to Liangshan, but for some reason he transferred to Erlongshan and became the fourth leader of Erlongshan. He avenged his brother. He attacked the Sihe Gang years ago, captured all the people, and recaptured the gang.

In the Baihu Mountain area, the Sihe Gang has close ties with the Wang family, so I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the young master."

After Jiang Ning heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "What is supposed to come will eventually come. Liangshan, which is eighty miles away, is a good place."

Jiang Ning has been thinking about how to protect himself in these troubled times. Now there are only three ways to go. The first is to join the world. Whether it is Bi Chengan or Xia Yongkang, even Princess Changping, as long as he

If you go there, you can get an official position. With the protection of the official family, as long as the country is not destroyed, there is nothing to worry about.

Just be divided into officials; the second way is to continue like always, with soldiers coming to block the water and the soil, and live your own petty bourgeois life; the third way is the last way, and it is also the next best thing to do, to pull up your own arms.

, studying his own weapons, but doing so is like falling into a trap. He will not choose this path unless he has to.

But in less than two years here, he was kidnapped once, Wang Ruoyan was kidnapped once, and he was almost killed on the Qinling Mountains. The Sihe Gang is full of troubles. Now in Jinling, undercurrents are surging, and it is indeed not peaceful.

year, a very interesting thought in the morning

It suddenly appeared in his mind that he could give it a try. Now that Erlongshan suddenly launched an attack and the Sihe Gang was destroyed, the next step is to go to Liangshan. When Liangshan becomes bigger, will Kong Liang let him go? Wait until Liangshan becomes bigger.

If Wang Tongde and others truly integrate into Liangshan, then he will be truly exposed.

Erqianxun said in confusion: "Young Master..."

Jiang Ning added: "Today is New Year's Eve, and you are still delivering information. It is not easy. If there is no such thing as a war on the border, everyone can take a day off in the afternoon. How will you spend this year?"

Erqianxun was stunned, but didn’t know how to answer, how to celebrate the New Year? Wasn’t she away every year? She was an orphan, was it the same wherever she celebrated the New Year? Over the years, she had become accustomed to Jiang Ning’s sudden behavior.

Asked, she, who was always alert, was at a loss.

"If you don't have any arrangements, just go to my house so we can reunite." Jiang Ning stood up and said with a smile, "But remember to change into men's clothes. Hey, women are really in trouble..."

Jiang Ning remembered what happened last night, shook his head helplessly, and warned specifically.

Second Qianxun was originally dressed as a man, but Jiang Ning ordered her to do it, so she began to doubt her makeup skills. However, Jiang Ning asked her to go home for dinner, which she never expected.

"Sir, let's forget it... I've gotten used to it over the years..." Erqianxun stood up, cupped her hands towards Jiang Ning, and declined politely.

"That means we have other arrangements, but I'll leave the food for you, the dumplings..." Jiang Ning chuckled, turned around and went downstairs.

Erqianxun was stunned for a moment, but didn't know what to say. Watching Jiang Ning go downstairs, he couldn't see through the Jiang Ning in front of him for a moment. Why did he say that Liangshan, a place where the water is eighty miles away, is a good place?

Jiang Ning returned home and had lunch with everyone before starting to make dumplings. Wang Ruoyan's other meals were average, but this dumpling was outstanding. Just smelling the stuffing made her appetite full, and the skin was crystal clear.

, if she had a few more talents like this, she would definitely open another dumpling restaurant.

Jiang Ning couldn't help, so he went to the street and bought two baskets of fireworks.

Before it gets dark, the entire Jinling City is immersed in the noise, firecrackers are blasting, fireworks are rising, and the streets and alleys are prosperous.

Jiang Ning lit the fuse, and the fireworks exploded in the air, turning into brilliant colors. This is also the most happy and festive time of the year.

Looking at these rising fireworks, Jiang Ning thoughtfully peeled one of them open and saw the black gunpowder and fuses. Each one was different in thickness, and the radiation radius formed in the air was also different. This requires large-scale experiments and

The demand for manpower and gunpowder is also huge.

"Look, look, look, it's so beautiful..."

The crescent moon pointed at the largest fireworks rising not far to the northwest.
