Chapter 13 Section five

Cui Ding sat in the "General Account Building" in Guicifang, while wiping the sweat from his face and palms with a handkerchief, he listened to the reports of his subordinates. The spring warmed up very early this year, and the air was already dull and sticky at the end of February.However, Cui Ding sweated not only because of the weather, but also because of nervousness. The "Santiaoza/Sanshipu General League" has not prepared such a large-scale mobilization for more than ten years.Cui Ding was young and had not personally experienced the underworld war in the capital that year, but he was still deeply impressed by how dangerous his father Cui Yanlibao's "Lianchang Water and Land" battle was.

Cui Ding meticulously carried out the mobilization order issued by Meng Zhen.Although there are Tong Bayun and Sun Kegang assisting in organizing the troops below, it is not easy to arrange this transfer.Food, lodging and weapons are relatively easy to deal with. The most terrible thing is that the troops dispatched by "Thirty Shop" this time are close to 70% of the entire organization. It is the most difficult thing to maintain the normal operation of various businesses during the preparation period.Cui Ding had no choice but to suspend many less important businesses.Of course, he knew that "Thirty Shop" suffered losses during this period, and Meng Zhen would definitely use "Feng Yilong"'s resources to fully compensate after the incident.

Compared with many older generations of "Santiaozuo", Cui Ding can be said to support Mengzhen's command without hesitation.He understood: "Feng Yilong" turned over, and there was a huge uproar in the underworld in the capital. If the group of small fish like "Thirty Pu" did not follow the big fish, they would only be washed away. portion. After the incident at the succession ceremony of "Feng Yilong" a month ago, everyone knew that the "Sanshipu General League" was a personal soldier of Mengzhen.This incident did not arouse resentment in "Feng Yilong" - "Thirty Shop" was originally a vassal of "Feng Yilong", and now Mengzhen can directly command, which shows his authority.

And "Thirty Shop" has become the direct lineage of "Feng Yilong" who is actually the most powerful person, and has also gained an unprecedented position in the underworld. Of course Cui Ding knew: after all the situation stabilized, it was only a matter of time before Mengzhen merged "Thirty Shop" directly into "Feng Yilong".He didn't think it was a bad thing, as long as he got a reasonable status and reward, what was the gang's signboard worth? Cui Ding, the deputy manager of "Thirty Shops", has fully demonstrated his talents in front of Meng Zhen. He firmly believes that after joining "Feng Yilong" in the future, his future will only be brighter...

After listening to the report, Cui Ding stood up from his chair, walked to the window of the "General Ledger Building", and looked down at the open space where the fate of "Santiaozao" took a big turning point not long ago. More than 300 fighters from the "Thirty Shop Alliance" had gathered in the open space. Among them, the group of burly stonemasons headed by Ba Zhui was particularly conspicuous, their bodies were as hard as the stones they carved every day. Almost all the more than 80 stonemasons of "Yufang" were mobilized, and Ba Zhui was also the only leader of "San Tiao Zuo" who went out in person.

Of course, Tong Bayun was also in the crowd, personally inspecting the weapons and the bamboo armor on the hands of the troops.Cui Ding knew that Tong Bayun had spent a lot of effort training these subordinates this year.The last time he couldn't kill the "Three Eyes", Tong Bayun drank in Guicifang market for two full days.Now that the opportunity had come again, he was visibly excited. Tong Bayun also saw Cui Ding upstairs at this time, and he gave Cui Ding a high thumbs up, indicating that all preparations have been completed. Just wait for the attack order from "Fengyilong Fengxiangfang Branch".

The troops of "Feng Yilong" have also assembled in four different places. Of course, Cui Ding cannot determine the number, but he estimates that it must exceed a thousand.The opponent is the "monster" who has already made a name for himself in the capital, and Mengzhen will not be stingy with his troops. For such a large-scale attack in the capital, Meng Zhendang had obtained the approval of Eunuch Lun.Cui Ding guessed that Lun Xiao definitely didn't like this matter.However, Meng Zhen was almost assassinated, and Lun Xiao had no reason to reject him. This battle has long been expected by everyone.Cui Ding heard about it, and someone opened a bet in the streets and alleys of the capital.Of course, the bet is not on who will win between "Feng Yilong" and "Dashutang", but how long "Dashutang" can last once the game starts.

Another subordinate came up to report to Cui Ding about the preparations on Capital Street.The distance from Guicifang to Wuchangfang is not short, but in order to avoid confusion, everyone can only walk.Therefore, Cui Ding prepared two rest points on the road to try to maintain the physical strength of his subordinates before the battle. "Remember, some guys may want to drink to boost their courage, absolutely don't give them. Only drink water." Cui Ding ordered. The subordinate nodded and went downstairs again. At this time, Cui Ding heard thunderous cheers downstairs, and he immediately walked to the window.

Sure enough, the three rode into the open space, and one of them was holding a small flag with the word "Feng" in gold letters on a black background. All the men in the "Thirty Shop" held weapons in their hands, ready to go at any time.The three riders did not stay in the open space, and continued to gallop to the main entrance of the "General Ledger Building".Seeing those three people getting off their horses in front of the door, Tong Bayun felt uncomfortable. Cui Ding hurried downstairs and greeted the three envoys in the front hall on the ground. "It's the leader—no, Meng Jijiu ordered the attack?" Cui Ding asked anxiously, but found that the faces of the three were frustrated.

The three of them glanced at each other, and finally the one holding the flag spoke. "Meng Jijiu ordered all of you to disarm, then disperse, and continue with your usual work." "What?" Cui Ding seldom shouted so loudly. "What are you kidding?" "'Feng Yilong' is the same here." The emissary said after sighing. "Today's attack is cancelled." "Change the day?" The envoy shook his head. "I do not know either." "There must be a reason?" Cui Ding's voice was close to a moan. "How do you want me to explain to these many brothers outside?"

"It's a last resort to receive sacrificial wine." Another emissary replied. "Wei Yishi came to look for him just now, and brought with him an order from Eunuch Lun: not a single drop of blood is allowed to be shed in the capital, and no one is allowed to cause chaos, otherwise the 'Iron Blood Guard' will do something." Cui Ding's face changed drastically. "Iron Blood Guard".Things are more serious than he imagined.Lun Xiao demanded absolute peace in the capital, that is, something related to the court and even the emperor Lao Tzu happened... "There is going to be another war, and the chaos in the south is coming again."
