Chapter 2: Tianyu Bufu

The moonlight is silent and full of stars.

In a broken temple on the outskirts of Ningzhou, the snoring one after another disturbed the natural tranquility very uncoordinatedly. A Buddha statue full of spider silk stood sadly on the dilapidated divine table, and several plates of worship in front of him were already empty.

The quiet moonlight penetrated through the rotten window and sprinkled on the face of the Buddha statue with peeling gold foil, which was particularly horrible. The original red pillars in the temple are now in disrepair.

The temple door was quietly pushed open and flashed into a figure.

The staggered snoring sound is as usual, and the sound is not lowered at all.

The man sat cross-legged on the empty table on the right side of the Buddha statue and closed his eyes. He turned out to be the masked man on the old tree.

On the left side of the Buddha statue, there are messy piles of straw, and the twenty-six or seven-year-old teenager is sleeping soundly on it. Under the moonlight, a teenager's eyebrows trembled slightly, his tall nose kept undulating, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and one leg was very rudely placed on another teenager.

The masked man looked at the two teenagers with great interest through the Buddha statue and smiled at their sleeping posture. It took a long time to sit back at the table to meditated and rest.

A chicken crowed and the morning light entered the window, making the gloomy ruined temple suddenly full of vitality.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and the masked man suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a wave of vigilance.

Zeng suddenly pushed the door open, which made the already vulnerable door worse. The breeze blew from the window in the temple, and the figure on the empty table on the right side of the Buddha statue had gone. Zeng Da is a six-foot strong man, with a thick black beard and sticky chin, and a pair of fierce eyes are frightening.

"Chen Rufeng! Jiang Shengtian!" Zeng Da roared angrily at the two teenagers on the straw pile. Chen Rufeng was awakened, shrank his feet on Jiang Shengtian, jumped to the ground and grinned, "Ah! Zeng Da! What do you have to do to come to us in person?"

Jiang Shengtian also raised his body sleepily and yawned heavily. He fixed his eyes and saw that he was furious and jumped down. He said respectfully, "Zeng Da! Good morning!"

Zeng Da is the largest gang of Tianyu Gang in Ningzhou, and he often instigates Chen Rufeng to steal small things in the street and steal part of what they get.

The Tianyu Gang can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Ningzhou. If you listen to the name Tianyu Gang in Ningzhou, you don't have to give three points of thin noodles. Being able to become a member of the Tianyu Gang is undeniably higher than that of ordinary people. Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian have applied to join the Tianyu Gang many times, but they have been repeatedly rejected. They once doubted whether Zeng Da was in the way, because once they became the Tianyu Gang, they would be on an equal footing with Zeng Da, and he would not want to.

Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian are both thin and weak, probably because they often don't have enough meals. Their messy hair, black and dirty faces and patched clothes are really unavoidable.

Zeng said in a loud voice, "I'll see you."

The falsely flattering smiles of the two people turned into an incredible surprise.

Ningzhou is under the jurisdiction of Guannei Road and is adjacent to Chang'an, Beijing. Foreign merchants often pass through this place, so it has also brought the development of Ningzhou, making it no less than the same state and county.

At the beginning of the morning, Zeng led the two through the towering city tower. A large street spread out in front of the three people like a picture scroll. This is the most prosperous street in Ningzhou. There are many shops on the left and right, and all kinds of stalls along the road are booming. The reason why the downtown is located on Chengmen Street is to highlight the pattern of Ningzhou's "straightforth" and let travelers and businessmen feel its prosperity as soon as they enter Ningzhou.

Because it was still early, most of the vendors were in a hurry, and some ready vendors sat on the ground and stretched lazily.

The three of Zeng were energetic, crossed the streets and alleys, and ran to the center of the city.

Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian were so upset that they kept recalling what they had done and were summoned by the Tianyu Gang leader in person.

"It's here. Go in." Zeng Da led the two to a teahouse of Yunhe Tower. The door was held by two people from the Tianyu Gang. Chen Rufeng thought that the level of these people was probably higher than Zeng Da.

Zeng Da waved to the two gatekeepers. They glanced at them and nodded. Zeng Dalian hurriedly pushed Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian and whispered, "You take care of yourself."

One of the Tianyu gangs said to the two with a gloomy face and said, "Follow me. The master is waiting on it. Don't prosper!"

As soon as I stepped into the Cloud Crane Tower, the strong fragrance of tea came to my nose and refreshed my heart. The first floor of Yunhe Tower is quite exquisitely decorated, with a bronze teapot the size of a water tank in the four corners, which is semi-sloping and extremely elegant. All kinds of tea sets are neatly arranged on the six tea tables without any dust.

On the first floor, only the owner of Yunhe Tower was calculating at the counter and was empty. At a glance, he knew that Tianyu Gang had wrapped up the whole Yunhe Tower.

Chen Rufeng and his wife were taken to the second floor.

The second floor is even more elegant. There are only two tea tables at a glance. The railings are suspended, and the scenery of the street downstairs can be seen.

Wen Zicheng, the leader of Tianyu Gang, sat elegantly on one, dressed in luxurious blue clothes and had a white face, which was a little like a girl with rouge. Behind him stood the two major guardians of the Tianyu Gang - "Heavenly Axe" Lin Chengjun and "Shenfeng Dun" walking on the ice. Both of them are famous and amazing first-class masters in Ningzhou. At this moment, their presence made Chen Jiang and Chen Jiang's hearts more, like two mice threatened by cats.

What they didn't expect was that the leader of the Tianyu Gang was actually a handsome boy in his twenties, and he could make the two masters behind him listen to his orders.

Lin Chengjun and Bu Bing glanced at them contemptuously and then turned their eyes back to Wen Zicheng, like two wooden sculptures. On the contrary, Wenzi came and smiled happily. He put down the teacup in his hand and hugged his fists and said, "Two! Please sit down!"

The Tianyu gang who led them upstairs has already retreated. Seeing that Wen Zicheng was so affectionate to the two unknown pawns, the two couldn't hide their surprise on their faces. They secretly wonder whether they would hide a knife in their smile and were at a loss for a moment.

Chen Rufeng reacted and bowed down and said, "I have heard the reputation of Master Wen and Tianyu Gang for a long time! The two of us have long been eager to join the Tianyu Gang, but unfortunately we have never received a reply from your Gang!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? As far as I know, both of you are rare talents! If I knew earlier that you had this wish, the Tianyu Gang would never shut you two out. When the matter is over, we will definitely include you two into the Tianyu Gang, and we will never give in to you!"

As soon as Chen Rufeng heard this, he was so excited that Jiang Shengtian beside him heard the "things" in Wen Zi's words and knew that the other party must have something to ask for. He settled down and said, "Dare to ask the master, what's the matter?"

Just now, Chen Rufeng only focused on the content at the end of Wen Zicheng's words and didn't notice the previous conditions. Only then did he realize that Tianyu Gang should ask for something to be so attentive.

Wenzi's preconceived has come to the point, so he no longer turns around, reaches out of his sleeves, raises the teapot, gently poured it to half a cup, and reaches to the front of his mouth. Every action is so elegant and flawless.

"Well, tomorrow there will be a road of burglars passing through our Ningzhou. I hope you two can help us Tianyu to help capture the burglars and dispel their arrogance." Wen Zicheng smiled and said that Chen Rufeng nodded repeatedly and agreed without thinking, but Jiang Shengtian's forehead was gently wrinkled, showing a little doubt.

"How dare the little thief be wild in our Ningzhou? It's ridiculous! What do you want us to do? It is incumbent on us!" Chen Rufeng patted his chest and said, Jiang Shengtian said, "With the human and material resources of Tianyu Gang, I'm afraid that we don't need the help of two thieves to capture a few thieves, right?"

"In other words, you just don't agree to our master's request?" Chen Rufeng said coldly, as soon as he saw that the faces of the other three turned heavy, and he knew that something was wrong.

A crisp sound, Wenzi clenched his hand into a fist, and the teacup in his hand turned into white sand. One palm opened and dispersed with the wind, which made people feel awe-in.

"I think highly of you two, so I asked you for help." Wen Zicheng said lightly, with a faintly threatening cold in his tone. Chen Rufeng and his two were stunned by Wen Zicheng's ability. Jiang Shengtian just squeezed his lips, and Lin Chengjun and Bu Bing cast a deterrent look at him.

Chen Rufeng pulled Jiang Shengtian's sleeve and forced a smile, "We will do our best to get things done for 'I'." After that, he pulled Jiang Shengtian up and ran downstairs.

Stepping on the ice, he wanted to chase and intercept the two, but was stopped by Wen Zicheng by raising his hand.

As soon as the two fled to the door of Yunhe Tower, Wen Zicheng's voice came from upstairs: "Tomorrow, I will wait for you on Chengmen Street." They paused and ran to the road faster, as if a fierce beast was chasing them.

"It's all your fault. Why are you talking nonsense?" Chen Rufeng scolded him. Jiang Shengtian straightened his sleeves, and the two of them had come to Chengmen Street in the blink of an eye. It was no longer as cold as morning. The crowd was like a tide, shoulder to shoulder one after another, and the noise was endless.

Jiang Shengtian said worriedly, "Don't you notice any fraud? I'm afraid it's not as simple as thieves to play so many tricks to force us.

Chen Rufeng said disdainfully, "What the matter? Anyway, let's do things well and then feel at ease into the Tianyu Gang. You didn't know how to judge the situation just now, did you? How dare you pluck hair on the head of Tianyu Gang?

"We agreed so hastily, and we don't know the details..."

Chen Rufeng sneered and said, "Just calm down. There is Tianyu Gang to support us. What else can't be done in Ningzhou?"

Jiang Shengtian still frowned, and the two walked out of the gate happily and worriedly.

Lin Chengjun said anxiously, "Lord, why don't you stop them? In case they leak the news..."

"You can rest assured that they will never dare to do this." Wen Zicheng's mouth showed an old-fashioned smile, "Is tomorrow's ambush ready? We will hit it with one blow, and we will definitely get that thing!"

Bu Bing bowed his head and said respectfully, "Everything has been arranged! Tomorrow, as soon as the escorts enter Chengmen Street, they will be difficult to fly!"

Wen Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, and his fingers drew circles on the powder of the teacup on the table, with a pair of eyes shining brightly.
