A gang generally goes through four stages, the embryonic period, the development period, the mature period and the split period. Generally speaking, in the embryonic period, it relies on the personal charm of the speaker, and leadership determines everything.

The same is true for Long Jiutian. Thirty years ago, Long Jiutian stood out from the younger generation of the Youth Gang with his extraordinary courage and unparalleled ambition.

Clean up, thereby establishing his status in the Youth Gang.

The development and maturity stages of a gang are when the gang's stakes are high, and the people involved begin to gradually develop their own cronies, and then delegate power one by one until they can stand alone.

In the development of the Qinggang, Long Jiutian's original sworn brothers were basically dead or disabled. Except for humans and ghosts, who had to wash their hands in a golden basin, the only one left was not that he could hide and hide, but that this man was too brave.

The current second-in-command of the Qinggang is Ding Shoufang.

Ding Shoufang accompanied Long Jiutian through 9 fierce battles, big battles, countless small battles, and numerous scars on his body.

It’s just that as the development of gangs matures, in the torrent of social development, out-and-out gangs can no longer survive. Just like the Cao Gang, the predecessor of the Qing Gang, it still knows how to transport food to the court and then take care of the brothers’ jobs. After Long Jiutian became the king,

Also facing this problem.

He gave this piece to Ding Shoufang, his sworn brother and life-long friendship. He had five scars on his body just because he shielded him from the knife. One of them went from his chin to his chest.

The next point is the risk of disembowelment.

Frankly speaking, Long Jiutian's ability is higher than that of Ding Shoufang. Perhaps the only thing that is not as good as Ding Shoufang is that he is a little less ruthless than Ding Shoufang when fighting for his life. Subconsciously, he has always believed that his life is more valuable than ordinary people.

He only fights for his life with people who are slightly higher than him.

After the gang develops, there is a period of splitting or decline. According to people in Shanghai, the decline period of the Qinggang started five years ago.

On a snowy night in the winter five years ago, Long Jiutian, who had just finished meeting his mistress, was assassinated by a group of killers. They were called killers because those people did not have any hot weapons at all. It was said that these people were holding long knives.

.

Not a dagger, nor a machete, but a long knife, a long knife with a long and slender blade.

There are different opinions on how Long Jiutian escaped. Some said that he was lucky and hid in the garbage dump regardless of his identity. Some said that his men fought to the death to protect him.

Only a few senior members of the Qinggang knew the real reason. It was true that Long Jiutian had several bodyguards around him, and these people basically practiced killing skills and carried short guns with them.

But these people did not react at all to the surprise attack by the killers. What really saved Long Jiutian from the danger of his life was when he ran into a pair of vendors selling Yangchun noodles on the roadside while he was stabbed twice and running bloody.

The elders were about 60 years old, and the younger ones were only 16 or 7 years old. But that young man who looked only 16 or 7 years old stood up for justice, and with a knife for cutting vegetables and meat, he actually killed the people who were chasing Long Jiutian one by one.

Seriously injured.

At that moment, Long Jiutian knew that this young man was definitely extraordinary, because he knew the combat power of his bodyguards very well, but in the hands of those people, the bodyguards he was so proud of were like hungry wolves slaughtering sheep.

When he came to his senses, he found that the old man and the young man were actually packing their things to go home. He quickly stopped them and thanked them for saving his life.

But he didn't expect that the old man just told him slowly that the reason why he drove away the people who were chasing him was not to save him, but because those people knocked down their cook when they were chasing him.

This made Long Jiutian very uncomfortable. As the leader of the Qinggang, he was used to being fawned over by others, and he was also used to the feeling of loneliness from being high above the mountains, but he never expected to meet two such strange people.

.

Although the assassination had a small spread, it gradually spread among the people in Shencheng. Many people believed that it was a turning point in the power of the Qing Gang from victory to decline, but Ding Shoufang did not think so.

He believed that the Green Gang's turn from victory to decline began ten years ago, because at that time, Long Jiutian knew a legend from somewhere, and then he became crazy obsessed with this matter. His enthusiasm was like being poisoned by poppy.

.

Because from that time on, except for the upper-level affairs of the Qinggang, Long Jiutian pushed all matters to Ding Shoufang, and he and his most trusted Five Elements Guards were busy with one thing at the same time.

That thing that made Ding Shoufang find it infinitely funny when he heard it was looking for a few jade fragments of unknown age.

Originally, before he was attacked, Long Jiutian had basically left the group and began to gradually move closer to the affairs of the Qing Gang. However, after he was attacked, he suddenly became more serious.

In Ding Shoufang's eyes, all this happened because of one person.

That young street vendor selling Yangchun noodles on a snowy night in winter, that person who rescued Long Jiutian when he was almost at the end of his rope.

I don’t know what means Long Jiutian used. Anyway, not long after that night, the young man followed Long Jiutian.

Long Jiutian spent a lot of money to have someone forge a sword for the young man from abroad. The model was like a Tang sword. After getting the sword, the young man was very happy and named the sword Luolu Dao.

In the second year after the boy came, he would go out with Long Jiutian for a few days every year. As for what he was going out for, Ding Shoufang had no idea. As for who hired the murderer on that snowy night, Ding Shoufang didn't find out, and he also found that Long Jiutian didn't seem to be there at all.

I have no intention of checking.

Today, that boy has actually become the third most powerful person in the Green Gang. This makes Ding Shoufang extremely unhappy. In his opinion, he and Long Jiutian have risen step by step, and there are other brothers who are either dead or disabled.

Their dedication has only accumulated into their prominent status.

And that young man, why did he save Long Jiutian's life?

Of course, although Ding Shoufang was unhappy, he would never hire a murderer to hurt anyone behind his back. He would only occasionally make the young man unhappy on various occasions.

He once used the excuse that the young man was good at martial arts and looked for some good people to fight with the young man, but none of them were the young man's opponent. What was even more commendable was that the young man did not kill him in that situation. He only had to admit defeat.

There will always be a way to survive.

After three years of stumbling like this, he finally reluctantly accepted that young man. The young man's outstanding kung fu was only one aspect. The most important thing was that he had no intention of getting involved in the Youth Gang and seeking power and profit.

In addition to going out with Long Jiutian every year and occasionally looking at Long Sheng'er, Long Jiutian's daughter, from a distance, when the Qing Gang faced provocations from other forces several times, he was able to rush forward. Usually, at most, he was like an idle cloud and a crane, passing him by.

A life you like.

Even the spy arranged by Ding Shoufang told him that the young man could actually read a novel for a whole day.

Ding Shoufang loved his woman very much. From the moment when his woman desperately jumped on him to block his knife during a fierce battle many years ago, he knew that he would never fall in love with another woman again in his life.

Although he never gave that woman a title, she always stayed by his side without any regrets.

Years later, Ding Shoufang still recalled in his ears what the woman said after blocking the knife for him: "I don't feel any pain, just run away!"

It was a short sentence with only six words, but for Ding Shoufang, he was filled with countless and deep feelings.

However, his woman's brother was expelled from the Qinggang.

He thought that his brother-in-law did something wrong. He only thought that when he lowered his dignity and wanted to save his brother-in-law, he was rejected by Long Jiutian.

He was rejected by Long Jiutian, who had not dealt with daily affairs for many years.

He had saved Long Jiutian's life several times after fighting on the streets, even if he had to exchange his life. However, this time, Long Jiutian told him that the prince committed the same crime as the people, even if he was not his brother-in-law, he was

His own daughter will also be punished by gang rules.

In the end, it was no longer just a matter of this matter, but a problem of his own woman. He didn't even dare to go home and see his own woman, the woman who loved him more than himself.

Frankly speaking, his woman did not put much pressure on him, but the more so, the greater the pressure on him.

It seemed that those sad eyes could speak. He didn't know why he couldn't get this thin face after years of bloodshed.

In his eyes, he felt that this world was no longer what it once was, and there was no need to adhere to the old system. The principles and laws were nothing more than human feelings, but he was disappointed.

He knew very well in his heart that even if his brother-in-law was expelled from the Qinggang, he could still take care of him. However, this lost face has been like an old scalper who has been working conscientiously for the Qinggang for many years, and worked as a shopkeeper for Long Jiutian.

An Xinxin, at the moment when he needed it most, was gently fallen to the ground and trampled on.

Perhaps, from that moment on, in a strict sense, the Qing Gang's breakup period came.

In the previous split period, at least Ding Shoufang would care when Long Jiutian didn't care, but now Ding Shoufang no longer has the pride of the past. He even went to find him for the first time, and he has always been disliked, but he is currently the third in command of the Green Gang.

——Ning Yutang.

He didn't mean anything else. He just heard that the roses planted in Ning Yutang's yard were in bloom. He just went to enjoy the flowers. Or maybe he wanted to tell others that from today on, he would be like Ning Yutang and spend some time with idle clouds and wild cranes.

day.

In Ning Yutang's yard, he saw Ning Yutang who was writing on a fan with a wolf hair in hand.

What fell on the fan was a piece of text:

In the Tang Dynasty

I missed a year of peach blossoms

And I missed you all my life

to the Song Dynasty

The low wall that blocks your laughter

But it cut off the love between you and me for several lifetimes

A rain eight hundred years later

Your oil-paper umbrella floated here

A lilac also disappeared
