Volume 1 The Birth of the Dragon Chapter 21 The High Council
The horror of the truth lies not in its facts and process, but in the sadness, bloodshed, and cruelty behind it, which will change a person's good nature, plunder a person's happy life, and destroy a person's strong will, and the best way to prevent these unknown horrors is to conceal the truth. ——
Ge Lao has been gone for a while, and Ge Ling has slowly recovered from her sadness, and the letter with the truth about Ge Lao's death was also hidden by Liu Xin, and told Feng Ying never to let Ge Ling know.
Now Ge Ling has moved to Liu Xin's residence, and the other party is Liu Yizhi's godsister. Liu Xin obviously didn't want the other party to be blinded by hatred after knowing the truth, after all, the other party was still a little girl who hadn't really grown up, and he just wanted this poor and lonely girl to live as Ge Lao hoped.
And the news that Ge Ling got from Liu Xin was that Ge Lao was in a hurry because of internal injuries in practice, and he hurt his heart and lungs, although she would be suspicious of such a truth, but she was a smart girl, and she knew that some things were really not necessarily easier to accept than fake.
Although the reason for Liu Xin's fabrication is far-fetched, the other party does not seem to pursue it, but chooses to believe it, maybe this smart girl knows everything, but she doesn't want to know that Ge Lao has left, and she now has an older brother who cares about her, and she cherishes the happiness and joy she has now.
"Brother Liu Xin, I like the night very much now, because at night, I will be able to see my grandfather", Ge Ling smiled innocently and looked at Liu Xin sitting next to him and said.
At this moment, it was at night, the sky was full of stars flickering, the bright moonlight was reflected on the faces of the two, they were sitting on the edge of the roof, Ge Ling leaned on Liu Xin's shoulder, his feet swayed gently, and looked at the brightest star in the sky seriously, because grandpa said that he would become the brightest star in the sky after he died, looking at her and accompanying her.
"Grandpa must be very relieved to see you now," Liu Xin said softly after listening to the other party's words.
"Well, I will live very happily", Ge Ling said seriously, and suddenly, she thought of something again, and looked at Liu Xin: "Brother Liu Xin, did your grandfather learn the knife spectrum for you?"
Speaking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help but smile, and then, he pulled up the clothes on his right arm, revealing a delicate short knife wrapped around it, he gently untied it and put it in the palm of his hand, playing with it carefully, he couldn't put it down, like caring for a beloved thing.
Ge Ling's eyes also looked over at this time, and she saw that the short knife in Liu Xin's palm was about a foot long, the whole body was ancient cyan, and the blade was as thin as a cicada's wings, glowing with a cold and cold light in the moonlight. On the back of the knife was a round of sharp serrations, as hideous as the teeth of a vicious wolf, making people look like their hearts couldn't help but tremble, as if they were cut in the chest by these serrations. The two sides of the blade seem to be carved with an ancient totem, wrapped around the entire body of the knife, and in the dark night, the totem is more like the eyes of two blood wolves staring at everything in this darkness.
Sen Ran's knife shook the depths of Ge Ling's soul, the whole night was so quiet that only cold breath was left at this moment, the handle of the knife was dark red, with patterns carved on it, and there were three small seal characters "Moonlight Cold".
In the blink of an eye, the moonlight cold in Liu Xin's palm disappeared without a trace. Ge Ling knew that the other party had put it away, and it should be wrapped around his right arm again at this moment.
She smiled playfully at Liu Xin: "Brother Liu Xin, why did you put it away? I haven't seen enough of this moonlight cold?"
Liu Xin looked at the starry sky in the distance, and there was no expression on his face: "Ling'er, it likes to hide in a lifeless life, I don't know how many years of ups and downs, it drinks too much blood, too ruthless, not suitable to see more."
Ge Ling didn't force it when she saw that the other party was serious, she spoke softly, and seemed to be talking to herself: "The Ge family doesn't know how many generations it has inherited, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, every generation has been a man before, and every generation is a peerless swordsman, and every generation has inherited the Ge family knife pedigree and this moonlight cold, but unfortunately in my generation, it is a daughter, so grandpa has always refused to pass on my Ge family knife pedigree, and I haven't even seen the moonlight cold a few times, I know, grandpa is for my good, but I can see the regret in my grandfather's eyes." He regretted very much that this knife spectrum and moonlight cold have been extinct in the world since then, until he met you, grandpa had already planned to pass them on to you, he had never really accepted apprentices before, a few years ago grandpa and you separated in it, he lost your news, that day grandpa could meet you, he must be very happy, but he didn't expect the time to be so short, he didn't have time to feel this joy, and he couldn't really accept you as an apprentice, but he was able to hand them over to you in the end, I think grandpa must have been relieved when he left, Brother Liu Xin, you won't let grandpa and me down, right?”
Liu Xin listened quietly, with a resolute expression on his face, "Ge Lao will always be my master, and you will always be my sister, I will not let you down." After speaking, the two leaned together and quietly looked at the distant and bright starry sky overhead.
The current headquarters of the Imperial Alliance is located in a renovated factory base in Pudong District, which covers a relatively large area, and after renovation and decoration, the inside is also very beautiful. There are all kinds of facilities inside, and the entire headquarters is equipped with a security system, which is designed and installed by the professional elites in this area, even in the world's actual defense system ranking is also the top, not the average person can easily break in.
At this moment, in the hall of the headquarters, Di Feng and the senior leaders of the Imperial League were deliberating.
Di Feng sat on a soft leather chair in the middle of the hall, and there was a golden plaque hanging on the high wall in the middle behind him, and the seven big characters were shocking - "Loyalty and righteousness must be done in action", these seven big characters not only warn the behavior and deeds of every member of the Imperial League, but also the creed and purpose of the Imperial League.
Emperor Ji glanced at the people in the hall with solemn eyes: "The Imperial League has today's situation through everyone's efforts, Binhai is no longer the two major forces, but a tripartite separation, no one dares to underestimate today's Imperial League, although our roots in Binhai are not as deep-rooted as the Green Gang and the Gongzi Club, but our master elite is an advantage." These days, we have a lot of friction with the Childe Club, so let's talk about it."
Liu Xin sat in the first position on the left-hand side, and behind him stood cock hair, looking attentive, his eyes staring at him motionless.
The latter has been valued by Liu Xin since the last bar, and he stayed by his side when he saw that the other party was clever. Dick Mao was naturally overjoyed, so the singing bar was also handed over to Gangzi to manage.
At this time, Liu Xin's brows were deeply locked, and he didn't say a word.
Sitting below Liu Xin was Emperor Sheng, the master of Zhongsheng Hall, and he turned his eyes and said: "According to the reports of the various halls below, many of our venues have been investigated, and bars, casinos, clubs, mansions and other places have been closed for no reason, this must be the revenge of the bastards in the Gongzi Club."
The Blue Dragon Club also said at this time: "Not only these, but they have also sent a few gambling masters to stir up trouble in the field in the casino, and they can't sustain it any longer, alliance leader, we should give them some color and take a look."
Ding Scarface sat on a chair below and said, "Hmph, they still think we are bullying, as long as the alliance leader is alive, I, Ding Scarface, am willing to take the lead."
"Now the brothers are so idle that they are only working on the girls, and they are all aggrieved", Wang Zhen also sat on the left side and said.
Di Feng turned his head to look at the people on the right side of the force, and the one sitting in the first place was Di Shi who had a cold face and didn't like words, only to see the other party's slightly closed eyes open suddenly, and said unhurriedly: "Everyone has seen the rampant of the Childe Club during this time, mainly because our foundation is too shallow and unprepared, and the relationship between Da Binhai is complicated, they use the power of the white side to suppress us, we have no way, rash action may make our efforts for so long come to naught, I don't think the time is now, it is better to calm the brake." “。
Di Feng sat in his position and did not speak, Liu Xin in the upper left, Wei Wei nodded after hearing Di Shi's words.
"Smack", Di Sheng slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Di Shi, is it that you are used to Ansheng's life during this time, and when you are a turtle with a shrunken head, this is not your character."
Emperor Shi's eyes froze, and he looked at the other party, and Sen Leng actually burst out: "Emperor Sheng, you try one more sentence, do you want to compare with me?"
"It's better than that, who's afraid of whom?, I see that your hands and feet haven't moved for a long time, and they're about to rust, it's not necessarily my opponent," Di Sheng said unconvinced.
Emperor Shi was about to get up and speak again, but Di Feng pressed the other party with a gesture, and the other party had to sit back in the chair, twisting his head to the side and sulking.
Di Feng questioned Di Sheng: "You want to fight so much, how about I accompany you to practice later?"
"Big brother, I didn't mean that, it's just that the brothers under my command are all uncomfortable, and they can't stand these sulks", Di Sheng said in a sneering tone, his tone was a little cowardly, he still didn't dare to compete with Di Feng, the other party really wanted to start a fire, it is estimated that it is as terrifying as Satan, and the Satan instructor is the nightmare of their group of people for eighteen years.
"Your sulking is not sprinkled on the ground, are you here to show me, brothers?" Emperor Fengzai's majestic and awe-inspiring momentum made the breath of everyone present tighten.
Di Sheng's face was embarrassed: "Big brother, I know it's wrong, you punish me."
"Hmph", Di Feng snorted and said, "Forget it this time, don't take it as an example."
Liu Xin said softly at this time: "At present, we need to work together to the outside world, and I also know that the brothers have been aggrieved during this time, but Emperor Shi is right, even if we bring people to kill the Gongzi Club, even if we win, can the situation be controlled? The Qing Gang has not moved on the surface now, but they will definitely open their eyes to see that we are both defeated, and will we still have the energy to fight against the Green Gang at that time? You must know that the Green Gang has been entrenched in the coastal area for more than a hundred years, don't they have hidden hole cards? Just as we all see, the skill of Chen Yong, the ghost hand of the Qing Gang's battle hall master, is no worse than any of you here.
After listening to the analysis of the military advisor Liu Xin, everyone nodded suddenly, and some were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat, but they didn't expect it to be so serious. They only thought of fighting back directly, and they didn't even think about the consequences of counterattacking because they were angry with grievances.
Emperor Shak's eyes swept over Emperor Sheng, and he snorted coldly in his nose, and the latter turned his head a little.
"Then what should we do? will we just sit back and die?" Feng Dan, who was sitting on the right hand, suddenly asked at this time.
Di Feng sneered and said, "It's not enough to sit still, let them want to be rampant for a while, you just need to take care of the brothers below, endure it first and wait for the opportunity."
Everyone looked at Di Feng, who was full of bamboo, and was silent, it seemed that it could only be like this.
