Chapter 179: Dead Wood Meets Spring
The sun is soft, the weather is just right, and the city of northern Jiangsu, which has not snowed for a long time, finally ushered in the first snow.
Although the snow is not heavy, it is still fluttering, which arouses great joy among the people. It's the end of the year again, so the streets are very lively. Almost all businesses are putting up their lights, waiting for the arrival of the new year. In addition, the Bodhi Festival will be held in a week, which will also affect everyone's mood to a greater or lesser extent.
Although the Bodhi Festival is a festival for the upper echelons of society, it can affect the whole body. Although it has not received feedback from ordinary people, it has begun to wait for all the families involved.
The people of the Chu family have been cooperating with Zhou Qi intermittently for a period of time, and both sides are very smooth.
The important figure in this is naturally Luo Bin. After finishing the last business during this time, he had already begun to leave northern Jiangsu and live in the island country temporarily. He had been thinking about it all the time, waiting for Zhou Qi to produce the latest drug, and everyone beat the Qian family in one go.
But he never expected that Mu Jingtian would take the lead and couldn't help but make a move on Zhou Qi.
Now that nearly a month has passed before you know it, it is as if these two people have disappeared from this world. Only a few families close to Zhou Qi, the Qian family, and the Mu family can learn about the news of the parties. Luo Bin was afraid that he would be plotted against in northern Jiangsu, so he simply didn't go back.
The Chu family was even worse, they directly recalled Chu He and the others, waiting for the final result of the Bodhi Festival.
To put it bluntly, the cooperation between most of them and Zhou Qi is basically limited to the left and right, pleasing both ends, and neither end is offended. After all, the forces behind everyone are huge, and they all have extremely strong military deterrence. But on the night when Mu Jingtian and Zhou Qi fought, everything changed.
One is still unconscious, the other is unknown and his whereabouts are unknown.
Luo Bin took a sip of tea and looked at the cherry blossom trees in the yard. He is one of the few people who sincerely wants to cooperate with Zhou Qi, and he has basically made his position clear, and he has invested a huge amount of money. I was looking forward to being able to make a comeback through Zhou Qi, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to return to this field now.
"Damn, when did Lao Tzu suffer this kind of grievance, grass, what a wreck!"
Luo Bin slammed the teacup on the table and said viciously. Although he took the wild road and resold arms, he always longed to become one of the twelve families and really come to the stage. He trusted Zhou Qi very much, but he didn't expect to encounter such an accident. Fortunately, there is Ye Zhenghe by his side, so he will not lose all his net worth.
"Do you know that there is a trick in martial arts, called Dead Wood Spring?"
Ye Zhenghe raised his head slowly, and there was no change in his mood because of Luo Bin's irritability. He took a sip of tea, with an expression of neither sadness nor joy on his face, "Maybe when you were most desperate, you could suddenly hear good news today." I have seen Zhou Qi's face, and his life should not be extinguished here. ”
"Hmph, do you believe in this feudal superstition?"
Luo Bin was already close to mourning more than dying at this time, he had already thought about it, and as soon as he got the news of Zhou Qi's death, he immediately transferred the property. He will never do this business again, leaving this clue of arms trafficking to his subordinates, he plans to enjoy the rest of his life, and he doesn't want to fight anymore.
Ye Zhenghe felt Luo Bin's mood change, and he just smiled and didn't say anything.
At this moment, suddenly one of his subordinates walked in and whispered something to him.
Luo Bin didn't care, thinking it was just an ordinary messaging. He lit a cigarette, got up and walked out into the courtyard. Winter in the island country is even colder than in northern Jiangsu, and now it is the Hokkaido region, and it has long been snowing heavily. For a native of northern Jiangsu like him, this is a rarity.
"Brother Luo, you've been taking refuge with me for a long time, don't you want to go back and have a look?"
Hearing Ye Zhenghe's words, Luo Bin was stunned for a moment, and then sneered again and again, daring to ignore him.
During this time, I don't know how many times I have been looking forward to Zhou Qi's news, but northern Jiangsu is like an iron bucket, and no rumors have leaked out. Even if he spent a lot of money, no matter how he tried to get news from Qin Kexin and others, he had nothing to say. Coupled with Wu Zhengguo's various actions, he thought that Zhou Qi was really dead, so he didn't have any hope now.
Just as Ye Zhenghe was about to say something, a young man walked over, it was Liu Xiaoxi.
He looked at Luo Bin with a smile, "Mr. Luo, our Master Zhou said that although the scenery of the island country is good, it is not as good as our Chinese beauties." He has already arranged a banquet, just waiting for you to go to the Bodhi Festival to drink. I don't know what you think? Do you want to come with me and return to northern Jiangsu?"
Hearing this, Luo Bin turned his head in an instant and looked at Liu Xiaoxi incredulously.
Even because he was too excited, he stumbled extremely slowly. Grabbed Liu Xiaoxi excitedly, his voice trembled a little, "What? What? Are you not kidding me? Zhou Qi really woke up? He is not dead? He is still alive!?"
Liu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, his expression was undoubted.
He knew that this news might be a bit shocking, not to mention Luo Bin, even they thought that Zhou Qi was really dead. had already accepted this fact, but when they saw Zhou Qi appear in front of them, they really believed that the person in front of them was Zhou Qi, and it was like a fake.
also accompanied his return, and he immediately sent his cronies to pass on the news.
"Damn, this rabbit cub is actually playing with me and missing? Damn, go, leave now! Lao Tzu wants to ask him face to face!"
Luo Bin excitedly pushed Liu Xiaoxi away, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he immediately called and started booking air tickets.
He really knows Zhou Qi too well, this young man is extremely deep in the city, and he never fights uncertain battles. Now that the manpower has been recalled from all over the place, it means one thing, he is ready. Even if they don't fully recover, I'm afraid there are aftermaths, and they don't need to worry about safety.
Now Mu Jingtian basically has no threat, and he has been sent to the Mu family's base camp.
According to reliable sources, he is still unconscious. Compared with Zhou Qi, the intelligence work of the Mu family is worse. The dragon scale squad is pervasive and has long begun to master the rhythm. Now that Zhou Qi has returned, then there is really no one in the entire northern Jiangsu who can stop him. Unless it is Mu Jingtian's Laozi Mu Huanglong who goes in person.
Ye Zhenghe looked at the backs of several people leaving, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Stretched out his hand and broke a dead branch, and muttered to himself, "What a trick for dead wood in spring...... Zhou Qi, you young man is really not simple. I asked myself that I was still one step away from Gang Jin, and I was not that Mu Jingtian's opponent. You have actually begun to surpass me on the path of cultivation. Well, well, I finally didn't look at the wrong person. ”
He knew that after this battle, as long as Zhou Qi did not die, his strength would inevitably improve again.
This kind of life and death challenges can bring out the potential of people the most. Zhou Qi has never encountered an opponent since his debut, and this time he was able to make a shot to the fullest, presumably on the road of confirming martial arts, and go further. Ye Zhenghe suddenly had an impulse, that is, to duel with Zhou Qi.
The two of them fight to the death, leaving everything behind, maybe they can make a breakthrough.
However, can he really let go of everything and duel with Zhou Qi without distraction? This is a battle that is destined not to start, and he is extremely envious of Zhou Qi at this moment, and even envies Mu Jingtian.
On the streets of northern Jiangsu, there is a thin layer of snow on the ground.
A young man with a slightly rickety body walked forward with a little girl in his arms. Looking at his shoulder, you can feel that he must be carrying an extremely heavy burden. Some people looked at him with great sympathy, and they didn't know what he had been through, and life had crushed him to such an extent.
The little girl did not feel anything unusual, and was still very happy to say this to him.
"Dad, the sugar gourd just now is delicious! Qingqing will eat it in a while!"
"The sugar gourd is too sweet, the baby should not always eat it, it is not good for the teeth, and it can only be eaten once a day. ”
The little girl pursed her lips and coquettished the young man for a while. The young man couldn't resist the little girl, so he still smiled bitterly and shook his head and bought a sugar gourd. It's just that maybe it was because of the invasion of the cold wind that made him feel a little cold, and he subconsciously tightened his clothes. Taking the sugar gourd, the little girl cheered happily.
Unconsciously came to the square in the center of northern Jiangsu, and the big screen was showing the promotional video of the movie at this time.
The man in the picture has only one back, but it makes people feel endlessly depressed.
He slowly lit a cigarette, which was very smelly from the camera. After a while, a woman's figure appeared in the picture, it was Nangong Xue. Then there was a release time and other dates, giving people endless reverie. Many couples stop here and look up at this clip.
"Alas, you look at the way you smoke, it's really obscene, when can you be as smelly as others?"
"Hey, tell me, why am I so obscene?"
The sound of the two people fighting came, and the young man shook his head helplessly.
He was about to take the little girl away, but the little girl thoughtfully pulled the young man, "Dad, I seem to know the person who just appeared on TV!
The young man was slightly stunned, not expecting that his daughter could be recognized by just a back.
He smiled and waved his hand, pulling his daughter to continue walking, "Don't talk nonsense, how can Daddy be up there? That's all movie stars." Let's go, Xiao Qingqing, what do you want to eat today? Dad can please you!"
"Wow, dad is so good! Qingqing wants to eat rice noodles today......"
That's right, this young man is Zhou Qi. If it weren't for someone who knew him very well, I am afraid that he would not have recognized it at all, but the young man who was still in his pretense a few weeks ago had actually become like this. The back is slightly rickety, and he wears a thick down jacket. He looked weak, as if a gust of wind could let him into the ward.
But for Qingqing, this time is very happy.
Because Zhou Qi finally has a lot of time to accompany him, the two of them often go to restaurants and go for walks, enjoying the beauty of the father and daughter. For her, she doesn't need Zhou Qi to have a huge amount of power, as long as she stays around, it is the greatest luck. She even hoped that Zhou Qi could be with her forever, just like these days.
Although she also felt that Zhou Qi might be sick, Zhou Qi's previous strong image was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. She has always believed that Zhou Qi may return to his majestic appearance at any time.
