Wang Luo died under the chaotic knife of the Zeng brothers.

His pale and twisted face, his round eyes widened, staring at the gray sky, as if pondering why he had failed.

However, he didn't have a chance to figure it out, and after years of calculation, he finally calculated his own life.

Boss Zeng's life was not lost.

When Wang Luo viciously stabbed into Boss Zeng's waist, the short knife kicked by Xu Pengfei pierced Wang Luo's ribs, causing him to lose his strength instantly.

The knife that pierced Boss Zeng's back was not deep and did not hurt his internal organs.

The Zeng brothers understood that Boss Zeng's life was saved by Xu Pengfei.

Repaying grievances with virtue is a fundamental choice made by ordinary people.

Boss Zeng's first words when he woke up: "From now on, the Zeng brothers will follow Xu Pengfei and will never betray." ”

Wang Luo's knife made him completely sober, no matter what their brother did, in his eyes, it was just a tool used by him.

And Xu Pengfei really wants to settle his old suspicions with them.

On the eighth night of the first month, the mighty boxing gym.

Boss Zeng, who had just undergone surgery to get the bones and the doctor strictly ordered that he must be treated in bed, asked his three younger brothers to carry him to the Mighty Boxing Gym.

Because, today is the day when Xu Pengfei returns to the position of the first brother in Hancheng, and the heads of all districts in Hancheng will meet the eldest brother again on this day.

After two successive fires, the two first brothers of Han Cheng disappeared into the boiling water of the Han River like a flash in the pan.

Xu Pengfei, a name that once resounded throughout Hancheng, once again spread rapidly in the underground circle of Hancheng.

When the king returned, the heads of the sixteen divisions of the entire Hancheng gathered in the Weimeng Boxing Gym, and no one was absent.

As the owner of the mighty boxing gym, Tian Ji personally commanded the whole gym, and all the security guards were on duty, making the entire gym look very majestic.

Xu Pengfei stood on the viewing platform on the second floor, looking at the representatives of various forces in Hancheng standing downstairs, he just said a word very indifferently: "I ...... Xu Pengfei is back again. ”

Nearly 200 people downstairs knelt on one knee and shouted, "Meet Brother Peng!"

Boss Zeng, who was lying on the stretcher, could only barely raise his head to signal, which could be regarded as a visit.

The Zeng brothers never dreamed that the four of them would be appointed by Xu Pengfei as the Four Heavenly Kings, and their main task was to protect his daughter Xu Yuhan.

This moved the four of them, what kind of courage and courage does it take to dare to use the former enemy to protect their daughter.

After several twists and turns, the underground forces in Hancheng went around and around, and finally returned to Xu Pengfei's hands.

The Weimeng Boxing Gym is enthusiastic, the Golden Leaf Restaurant, and the business is still in full swing.

Sheng Kai and Kang Dezhu moved a coffee table, temporarily set up a wine table in the storage room on the second floor of the restaurant, opened a bottle of red wine, fried two side dishes, and sat opposite each other.

Since coming to Hancheng, it is the first time for the two to be so leisurely, and it is also the first time that they have such a happy mood, sitting together and drinking.

The rosy red wine swayed gently in the glass, making people feel a burst of relaxation.

The two clinked glasses, then took a sip, letting the mellow wine roll on the tip of their tongues, and a look of enjoyment appeared on Sheng Kai's face.

"Big brother, Xu Pengfei has returned to the position of the first brother of Han Cheng, in the future, will he be used for you?"

"For my use? No, you're not right. ”

"Doesn't the eldest brother want to make a career in Hancheng, and you need someone like Xu Pengfei to clear the obstacles for you?"

"The first time I saw him make a move, I knew he was a real man. I got to know him and didn't want to take advantage of his ideas. I just think that a person like him, who values love and righteousness and has the ability, should not be willing to be ordinary. ”

Kang Dezhu took a sip of wine and said boldly: "When will the eldest brother recall me and let me do a big job with you?"

"It's coming. ”

Sheng Blossom raised his glass and touched it, and said calmly.

"I know, the eldest brother has been holding his breath in his heart......"

"Tell me?"

"Because of Liu Yun, you have to make a career and let her know that it was her loss to look down on you at the beginning. ”

Sheng Kai was slightly stunned, and then showed a helpless wry smile: "Am I so narrow-minded?"

Kang Dezhu said with some surprise: "Isn't it?"

Sheng Kai's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Actually, my situation is very similar to Xu Pengfei, he wants to quit the rivers and lakes and be willing to be ordinary, but how can the rivers and lakes have forgotten him?"

Kang Dezhu was a little puzzled, and he looked at the bloom hesitantly.

"Why did we leave the army?"

Seeing Kang Dezhu's confused expression, he reminded in full bloom.

Kang Dezhu seemed to suddenly realize: "What does the eldest brother mean is that although you have left the army, Hua Liubin does not want to let you go?"

"My existence is always a threat in his heart, just as Xu Pengfei's existence is always a threat in Wang Luo's heart. ”

A cold light appeared in Kang Dezhu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "If he dares to move the eldest brother, I will let his Hua family disappear!"

Sheng Kai shook his head lightly and said, "The Hua family is deeply rooted and not so easy to shake. The Hua family controls two of the five major consortia of the empire and has a significant influence in the empire. His family has a deep heritage, and just a flower willow bin is naturally not a problem. But to deal with the entire Hua family, it is not so simple. And in the Hua family, what is really difficult to deal with is another person. ”

"Hualao?"

"That's right, it's Hua Liubin's younger brother Hua Lao. ”

"It is said that he is just the adopted son of Hua Buxi, not his own child, he ......"

"No, he's a concubine ......"

Kang Dezhu was stunned, he didn't expect that Sheng Hua would know so much about the inside story of the Hua family.

He had heard of Hua Lao's fame, a thoughtful and far-sighted man. Although he is young, he has become one of the rare think tanks of the Hua family. 16k Chinese

However, this man has always lived in seclusion, and very few people have actually seen him.

"Among the top ten families in Hancheng, the Qian family ranks first, and for the second-ranked Sun family, it is not an order of magnitude at all. As the ceiling of Hancheng, it is the superposition of the industry and strength of all well-known families in Hancheng, and it cannot be compared. ”

Sheng Kai's tone was flat, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

Kang Dezhu was surprised in his heart, of course he understood that Sheng Blossom would not talk about these big families that had nothing to do with him for no reason.

"Qian's ...... In fact, it is controlled by the Hua family?"

He asked with some hesitation.

Sheng Blossom nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Kang Dezhu was a little dazed, when he was in the imperial capital, he had heard of the five major consortia of the empire, and he could never have imagined that two of them were controlled by the Hua family.

If this is the case, the wealth of the Hua family is not just as simple as being rich and rivaling the country.

Thinking of being on the frontier, several orders came one after another, asking Sheng Kai to withdraw his troops. At that time, it was Hua Liubin who gave the order, and his arrogant face made him remember it vividly.

Fang Dingtian, the former commander of the empire and the pillar of the empire, can be said to have a profound background, and he was finally removed from power.

All this is actually the embodiment of the strength of the Hua family.

Thinking that Sheng Hua might have to rely on his ability to fight against the entire Hua family, he suddenly felt his blood boiling.

Such a heroic feat, how could he be without him?

............

After Xu Pengfei became the first brother of Hancheng again, he never came to the Golden Leaf Restaurant again.

Sheng Xingxing understood that he was worried that his identity would cause trouble for the Golden Leaf Restaurant, so he deliberately avoided it.

Sheng Kai had gone to him, and he was still living in the basement, still smoking cheap cigarettes for ten dollars.

He was reluctant to move away because he felt that he could feel Xi Nan's presence here, and if he moved away, his heart would be empty.

Sheng Kai understood his mood, but he felt a little weird, the dignified brother of Hancheng actually lived in a rented basement, if he said this, it is estimated that few people would believe it.

Xu Pengfei has always believed in his heart that the reason why he can cheer up is entirely because of the encouragement and reminder of blooming.

If it weren't for him, he might have died at the hands of Sha Moke and Wang Luo by now, and his daughter had also become an orphan.

It's really ridiculous to think of the idea that he was bent on escaping from Hancheng in the first place.

In his heart, Bloom is his savior, the savior who reincarnates him as a man.

It's just that Sheng Kai didn't agree to let him call him big brother no matter what, after all, Xu Pengfei's age was there, more than ten years older than him.

Although Xu Pengfei feels that there is nothing wrong with it, the rivers and lakes have never been ranked by age. But he couldn't resist the bloom, and finally changed his name to "Mr. Sheng".

Sheng Kai felt that this title was a little awkward, but Xu Pengfei insisted on doing so, so he could only reluctantly agree.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lantern Festival.

After finishing the work in the store, it was already late at night.

Sheng Bloom, who was driving home, heard his phone ringing, which was the tone of a text message.

He didn't care much, after returning home, he had to wait for Ye Qingqing and Liu Xiaoyu to take a bath before he could clean up and then go to sleep.

While waiting for them, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and when he clicked on the message, he was suddenly stunned.

"Three hours later, see you at the top of Woniu Mountain outside the city. ”

An unfamiliar number, without any sign-off.

Sheng Kai deleted the message, slowly came to the balcony, looked at the light outside thoughtfully, and thought to himself, who sent the message.

Woniu Mountain, which is more than ten kilometers away from Hancheng, must pass through there to go to Qidong County.

When she went to Qidong County with Rongyan, she once introduced it, saying that this mountain looks like a cow lying next to the Hanjiang River drinking water from a distance, so it is called Woniu Mountain.

After Ye Qingqing and Liu Xiaoyu took a bath, they went back to their rooms.

Tomorrow is Liu Xiaoyu's return to school, Ye Qingqing has already discussed with him, send her back to school early tomorrow morning, and then the two of them will go to Golden Leaf Restaurant.

So after taking a shower, the two went back to sleep immediately.

Sheng Hua waited for nearly half an hour, thinking that they should have fallen asleep, so she went out silently and drove to Woniu Mountain.

Fortunately, it is late at night, and it is the Lantern Festival, so there are no cars on the street. He galloped all the way, and in less than an hour came to the foot of Woniu Mountain.

Although the clouds have broken through and it has been sunny for several days, the snow has not melted.

Under the light of the stars and the moon, the water of the Hanjiang River is sparkling, and Woniu Mountain is like a sleeping cow, lying quietly by the river.

He parked his car, took a deep breath, and walked down an improvised walkway to the top of the hill.

Although it is called Woniu Mountain, it is actually not high, with an altitude of less than 200 meters.

The mountains are densely wooded, and on weekends when the weather is good, many young people from Hanseong like to come here to enjoy the freshness and tranquility of nature.

But it's almost impossible for anyone to come late at night.

There is a raised place on the top of the mountain, like a cow's back, with a radius of nearly 100 square meters and no trees, which is a place for young people to come here for a picnic barbecue.

Standing on the "back of the ox", at the foot of the mountain to the north is the rolling water of the Hanjiang River. For safety, local authorities have built a guardrail on the north side.

Blooming walked through the snow and came to the top of the mountain, but there was no one.

Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes twinkling.

He stood there, motionless, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you, why did you ask me to come, and hide your head and tail?"

There was no response, but Bloom had already felt a compelling momentum, pressing down on her from her back.
