Dragon Court is a Chinese restaurant in New York's Chinatown that serves authentic Sichuan cuisine.

From the outside, this should be a restaurant for the middle class, without the opulence of a luxury restaurant, and it looks simple and simple. But there's a touch to it in simplicity.

Upon entering the restaurant, the lobby is decorated in a typical Chinese style, with a boxy solid wood dining bowl, surrounded by four benches, and small spice bottles such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar placed on the table for customers to add to their meals according to their tastes.

The waiters in the restaurant, the women are all wearing red cheongsams with flowers, and the men are wearing dark red Tang costumes, which complement the bright decoration style of the restaurant, giving people a sense of joy.

After Tang Jifeng took Li Jingwei and Tang Qiushui into the restaurant, he directly entered a private room under the guidance of the waiter. Old Man Tang seems to be a frequent customer here, and almost all the waiters know him, and from the distance from entering the door to entering the private room, the waiters who saw him ran over and bowed to say hello.

Tang Qiushui looked cold, and only nodded and smiled at the waiter he knew.

Li Jingwei is here for the first time, and after entering the restaurant, he also has a familiar feeling, as if he is eating in a restaurant in China. After coming to the United States for so many years, he has also been to many Chinese restaurants, but it is the first time he has seen such a Chinese-style restaurant in the United States.

After entering the private room and sitting down, the waiter brought up the menu, Tang Jifeng ordered some signature dishes, and the main food was the restaurant's main Longchaoshou.

Longchaoshou is a special name for wontons in Sichuan cuisine, which is mostly called wonton in the north and wonton in the south.

The dragon copy hand of the Dragon Pavilion is characterized by thin skin, tender filling, and fresh soup.

The dough is made of refined flour, egg white and dough, plus a few ingredients, and slowly kneaded by hand to make a translucent dough as thin as paper and as fine as silk. After cooking, the filling is clearly visible through the dough.

The meat filling is made of different types of meat according to different types of dragons, including beef, shrimp, pork, etc., all of which are soaked in secret methods, which are tender and smooth, mellow and delicious.

The original soup is made of special parts of chicken, duck and pig, which are simmered and simmered, which is thick white and fragrant.

When the dishes were served, the waiter left the private room.

Tang Jifeng introduced to Li Jingwei: "This Dragon Hunting Pavilion is a joint location of the Xuanyuan Dragon League in New York, and the waiters here are carefully selected from the Dragon League, although they are not members of the Dragon League, but they are all loyal and reliable, and everyone's ability is also good." In an emergency in New York, you can come here and they will recognize your bracelet when they see it. “

"Okay. Li Jingwei replied.

He then asked again: "Elder Tang, you also mentioned just now that many of them are not members of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance, including Qiushui, are not members, why can they participate in specific actions?"

Tang Jifeng replied, "These people all have their own skills and can play a supporting role in the course of the Dragon Alliance's actions. For example, in this operation, Qiushui can provide you with support. Moreover, she is very good at thermal weapons such as guns and is able to effectively snipe enemies during retreat. ”

"As you know, the Dragon League does not have many members, and now that the times have changed, it really needs to rely on professionals in computers, thermal weapons, etc. These people may not be as strong as the members of the Dragon Alliance, but they can also play an important role at critical times. Times have changed, and the Xuanyuan Dragon League must also keep pace with the times. Tang Jifeng continued to explain.

"Elder Tang, in this operation, what do you think of the four Huaxia warriors I met?" Li Jingwei has always had questions in his heart since he returned, so he asked it.

"Judging from the weapons you brought back, there are no obvious markings, so I can't see anything from the weapons at the moment. But judging from the skills revealed by the other party, nine times out of ten they are hidden people. ”

Tang Jifeng pondered for a while, and then added:

"Judging from the situation you described, it is indeed very likely that this is a trap, and it is a trap against the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance. So the question is, why can the other party conclude that the Dragon League will definitely take the bait? This shows that the other party understands the Dragon Alliance's style of doing things very well, and also understands what the Dragon Alliance values. This time, I threw out the "Tai Chi Xuan Yao", obviously because we were sure that our Dragon League would make a move. ”

"From this point of view, I suspect that there are people within China who have given guidance and help to the Americans. Since there is guidance and help, there must be an exchange of interests. Judging from the trap setting in the basement you described, the Americans intended to capture alive the people who came to steal the "Tai Chi Xuan Yao". So why do you have to capture them alive? It's probably that one of the purposes is to get some information. ”

"Since they're not sure who's coming to steal it, it's certainly not to target a specific person, but to grab someone at random and ask for all or at least some of the information they want to know. So, this means that they want to get general information, not specific information that only one person knows. ”

"If the previous inference is correct, that is, they are targeting the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance, then it is likely that what they want to obtain is information about the Xuanyuan Dragon League in the United States, and their purpose may be to take the opportunity to eliminate the Dragon Alliance's power in the United States. If that's the case, then the intentions are really very sinister. ”

Since the domestic collaborator in Huaxia did not directly tell him about the situation of the Xuanyuan Dragon League in the United States, it means that this collaborator is not an official member of the Dragon League or someone who is very familiar with the situation of the Dragon League. So what are such people trying to get from the Americans? I don't figure it out. ”

"However, since we are willing to cooperate with the Americans, then the plan will naturally not be small. This is tantamount to betraying the power of the Xuanyuan Dragon League in the United States, and if it really succeeds, the losses caused to the Xuanyuan Dragon League will be incalculable. ”

"I am afraid that those who can make some kind of deal with the American power department are not ordinary people. Ordinary entrepreneurs or politicians will neither know so much about the situation and form and style of the Dragon League, nor will they or dare not do so. Li Jingwei said. Then he asked, "Do you think it could be the work of a political group?"

"It's hard to say. After all, the stakes are high, and there are not many political groups that dare to take such a big risk. Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will also be a catastrophe for them. For Huaxia, this kind of behavior is an act of anger and resentment. If it is really committed by a certain political group, it will be very serious in nature, and this is undoubtedly a traitorous act. And, if that's the case, then what they're trying to do must be very big. Tang Qifeng said worriedly.

"It's not all bad. At least through this incident, let's realize that the Americans want to make up their minds against the Xuanyuan Dragon League. It also reminds us to be cautious in our future actions. Li Jingwei said.

"Yes. 'Woe and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking'. However, this time you are taking a big risk. Moreover, if it were to be me, I am afraid that there would be no return. "Tang Jifeng still has palpitations when he thinks about it now.

He added: "You are very right, the future actions of the Xuanyuan Dragon League in the United States must be cautious. The Council of Elders takes this matter very seriously and will certainly conduct a thorough investigation to believe that there will be a desirable result. ”

"Elder Tang, as far as I know, the Xuanyuan Dragon League will not easily get involved in ordinary secular affairs, and there should not be many actions in the United States, why would the Americans be so jealous of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance's power in the United States?" Li Jingwei asked again.

"Every nation has its own guardians. Although the United States is a country of immigrants and has only been established for about 300 years, there are also secret organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. that help the country when it faces a major catastrophic accident. In recent years, the organization has become more deeply involved in secular affairs, and its influence on the American apparatus has deepened. It is said that S.H.I.E.L.D. is working on a super-soldier development project. ”

"In this context, countries are also very afraid of this project, and to a certain extent, they hope that the guardians of their own countries can help the country develop and grow. The same is true for Huaxia. The S.H.I.E.L.D. should be afraid of the power of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance in the United States, so they tried every means to figure out the situation of the Dragon Alliance in the United States. ”

"The reason why the Xuanyuan Dragon League is deployed in major countries in the world is also to prevent problems before they happen. After all, times are different, and we can't blindly defend passively as we did in the past. We don't want to fight, but we also have to be not afraid of fighting, and we have to plan for everything. ”

"S.H.I.E.L.D. shouldn't know about the Dragon Alliance's power in the United States. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they are jealous. For them, the unknown is the most terrifying. This time the game is trying to deal with us, and I am afraid that it is mainly due to this consideration. ”

Tang Jifeng took a sip of the teacup on the table, and then said, "Regarding the situation of the S.H.I.E.L.D., go back and let Qiushui tell you." However, we don't know much about the details. ”

"Okay. Li Jingwei replied.

Regarding the distress of this operation, Li Jingwei now recalls that there are many things that need to be summarized and analyzed.

For example, the very limited information available prior to action leads to an underestimation of difficulties, and the lack of mature options for the design of action programmes. In short, the reason why this operation was successful was that the element of luck accounted for a large proportion.

For Li Jingwei, this is a practice that must be corrected. He believes that in order to succeed in doing things, you must have careful thought and careful planning. It is possible to be lucky, but to succeed by luck all the time is obviously completely unreliable.

The three of them chatted while eating, but they were also very happy. Tang Qiushui doesn't talk a lot, but he occasionally interjects, but he is also very insightful.

Towards the end, Li Jingwei asked Tang Jifeng seemingly casually:

"Old Tang, when I went to the cold pool of the Tianshan Mountains with Uncle Zhang and Uncle Meng to look for the Red Flame Snake, I happened to catch a few people from the Japanese Black Dragon Society, according to the confession of one of them, there is a treasure map from the Ming Dynasty that appeared on the New York Black Market, I wonder if there are any further plans for the Xuanyuan Dragon League after this matter?"

"The matter you mentioned is still being investigated, and whether there is indeed a treasure map is still uncertain. This matter was entrusted by the Dragon League to the people of Hongmen to help investigate, and the specific results have not yet been fed back. Tang Qifeng said.

Hongmen has developed in the United States for many years, has deep roots, has many disciples, and has many connections, especially the New York gang. Therefore, it is more appropriate to entrust this matter to Hongmen.

Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance and Hongmen have a certain friendship, and the treasure map is related to the treasures left by the ancestors of Huaxia, as a descendant of Huaxia, Hongmen also has the obligation to help. Therefore, when the Xuanyuan Dragon League proposed, Bai Jingchun, the boss of the Hongmen, readily agreed.

Speaking of this, Tang Jifeng glanced at Li Jingwei, and then said: "Thanks to you for finding the Red Flame Snake, otherwise Brother Xiao's illness would really be weak." When he said this, he was also quite relieved in his words.

Then, he said: "The treasure map matter, there are detailed results later, and I will tell you again, I am afraid that you will have to be involved in this matter." ”

"Okay. When the time comes, you may command. Hearing this, Li Jingwei replied happily. He also wanted to know about the treasure map. Of course, he didn't care about how much gold and silver there was, but whether there were crystal skulls in it.

Ever since he mentioned the introduction of Song Ziyu's predecessors in the cold pool of Tan Mountain, he has been very concerned about the matter of the crystal skull, and he has always paid attention to the relevant information.
