Chapter 198 Under the bustling scene, traces of demons appear!
For Jiang Yang, be it the Jinhong Gang or the Dark Territory, they are always a trouble.
According to information from the modern world, the Dark Territory is a huge organization that can even compete with the officialdom in the modern world, and its power is definitely not limited to the Gangneung area.
If they investigate and find out that the Earth Fire Crystal has been taken away by them, sooner or later it will be a big trouble.
Over the past few days in Jiangling, the more he saw the conflict between these forces, the less Jiang Yang wanted to get involved, and the less he wanted to get involved, the cleaner things had to be done.
But he didn't know the details of the Dark Territory, so it was natural for the authorities to take the lead.
Following the official annihilation of the Jinhong Gang and the Dark Territory in Jiangling, this clue will be completely cut off, so that the Dark Territory will no longer be able to find any information about the Earth Fire Crystal, and even the Dark Territory's claws will not be able to reach Jiangling at all.
For Jiang Yang, this is the safest thing.
And he also had to go there to make sure everything went smoothly.
Fortunately, after his battle with the Youlong Clan, he had gained a lot of trump cards, and if things didn't work out, he still had the Purple-Gold Armored Horse to use.
Although there were only a few unknowns in this matter, at this moment Jiang Yang was already prepared to deal with the worst case scenario.
…
Time gradually fell into the night.
Jiang Yang got a bamboo hat and put it on himself, walked out of the small courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce, performed Qinggong, flew over the courtyard wall, and landed on the street full of ginkgo trees outside the Chamber of Commerce.
Then go all the way to the southeast of the city.
For a long time recently, besides exploring secrets and treasure hunts, Jiang Yang has been practicing Qigong and Gandu.
Even recently it has reached the point where I can hardly leave my house.
This almost made him forget his original vision of this city, which was the markets that never closed at night, the bustling streets and the various delicacies on the streets.
It was just dark at this time, and the streets of the city were still bustling.
Lanterns were lit in front of every house, and red street lamps stretched along the roads on both sides to the end of the street.
Even at night, many shops were still open, there were many pedestrians on the streets, and the food stalls on both sides of the streets were as lively as I had heard.
“Three crispy noodles! Songhuang cake!”
"Selling papaya juice!"
“Selling sesame-cured chicken skin and fried white sausage!”
It was still relatively early, and there was still more than an hour before Haishi. Jiang Yang walked to the stall and said, "Boss, one portion of three-crispy noodles and one portion of pine yellow cake."
Then he went to the shop next to him and said, "A serving of papaya juice."
“Eat now or take away?”
"take away."
"Okay!"
…
Jiang Yang ate while walking, maybe he was really hungry and wolfed down a bit.
And at this moment, he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from not far away.
"Boss, please order two portions of fried white sausage!"
"I also need two parts of agarwood."
"I'm coming!"
Jiang Yang followed the sound and saw two women. One was wearing a green dress, and the other was wearing a black outfit with a sword on her back.
"Sister Yumian, do you think what happened tonight is really that dangerous? Let's go and see Team Xu and they won't let us go."
"Captain Xu said tonight's matter is more difficult than ever before. Whether he can come back alive is a matter of course. It's better for us not to get involved."
"Is it them?" Jiang Yang was slightly surprised, it turned out to be Zhou Yumian and Xu Si.
However, Jiang Yang was now disguised as Li An and wearing a hat, so they would definitely not be able to recognize him.
Xu Si frowned at this time: "Why run if it's so dangerous?"
Zhou Yumian whispered: "I heard that the things going on in the Dark Territory have endangered national security. Captain Xu is a soldier and has to go."
Although Zhou Yumian's voice was low, Jiang Yang could still hear it.
Jiang Yang frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that the nature of things tonight was a little unusual.
While listening, he ate the noodles with big mouthfuls. He had a fight tonight, so he wanted to fill his stomach early so that he wouldn't be hungry later.
He was thinking in his mind, it seemed like a lot of people were coming from the official side tonight. Team Xu would go, but would there be anyone else?
Zhou Yumian and the others did not continue chatting. After all, on the street, they only made a few remarks and did not talk in detail.
Jiang Yang simply gave up and continued listening. After eating and drinking enough, he headed towards where the Jinhong Gang was.
As shown on the map, this area in the southeast of Gangneung Prefecture is only one street away from Feifeng Tower. Although the demon incident occurred nearby, after such a long time, how can the prostitutes and gamblers still return?
I can hold it back, so this area has already begun to recover.
This core area of the Jinhong Gang was not affected before, but it is still prosperous now.
The criss-crossing blocks in front of us are connected to the city. This place is brightly lit and busy with traffic. At night, it becomes even more prosperous.
Outside the street, there is a tall white stone archway with the words "Guanpu Street" written on it.
Guan means transaction, and Pu means game. This street connects several streets, almost all of which are places for gambling.
Jiang Yang walked along the street. It was already very lively at this time. Jiang Yang casually entered a cabinet shop on the street. There was a lot of people inside, and the shouts were loud.
A waiter who seemed to be a clerk in the counter saw Jiang Yang and came up to him: "Sir, what do you want to play?"
"Just take a look," Jiang Yang said.
At a glance, he saw that there were tables for eating and drinking in the lobby on the first floor, and there were gambling tables inside, ranging from dice rolling, leaf cards, etc., to some chess and other games for nobles and elegant people to play on the second floor.
The things used for gambling are not only money and instruments, but also singers, slaves, exercises, elixirs, and everything else.
At this moment, he heard a sudden sound of shouting and fighting coming from the other end of the gambling table surrounded by people in the hall, and then a man in his thirties was twisted by several thugs in the blockade.
His hands were stripped bare.
"Let me go, I still have money! I still have..."
Several tough thugs didn't care how the man screamed and threw him directly from the block.
"Tsk, tsk, another one who lost everything."
"I heard that the boat is sailing outside the city."
"This guy has been here all day, and after losing one day, even his wife and daughter went to the brothel."
People around him were talking a lot, but they seemed to be used to it.
Jiang Yang just looked on with cold eyes. He looked inside the casino for a while, but he didn't stay long.
After a while, he walked out of the street. On the street outside, drizzle began to fall.
He lowered his hat, roughly estimated the time, walked to the corner of the street, and put on his mask.
But at this time, his steps suddenly paused.
When he saw the dead end in front of him, something seemed strange. When he walked forward, he saw a man who had been stripped naked. He seemed to be the man who was thrown out of the blockade before. At this time, he was like an abandoned man.
The body was bent backwards and lying strangely in the stinking ditch of this dead-end street.
Jiang Yang frowned, subconsciously pinched the protective spell, and quickly stepped forward to check.
A strong smell of blood then hit his nostrils. He turned the man's body around with the hilt of the sword, and saw that his chest and abdomen had been ripped open by something unknown. All the internal organs inside were hollowed out, and the skin and flesh were turned out.
, like a blooming flower of flesh and blood!
!!!
Jiang Yang subconsciously took a few steps back.
Chapter completed!
