Chapter 32: Showdown
In the hall on the first floor of the Huafeng Building, some noisy spectators gathered in the lively mood to discuss in a low voice what kind of ending the negotiations between the Aiki Gang and Guanyi will end.
Hua Fenglou, who had a bitter melon face, was in charge of it, and at this moment he was standing behind the counter with one hand on his cheek, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
If you can't talk to this group of martial artists for a while, don't fight in my shop.
Compared with the worries and worries of the shopkeeper, the young men in Huafeng Building were waiting for the start of this negotiation with excitement and anticipation.
This is a rare negotiation between the two armed gangs in Zhuyang City, and maybe it is possible to fight directly.
In Huafeng Building, all kinds of people are distracted, some are purely watching the excitement, and some are trying to take this opportunity to analyze future actions.
Just when many people were waiting impatiently, they were all squatting on their chairs.
A burly figure appeared at the door of Huafeng Building!
The light gray wide-sleeved light shirt was propped up by strong muscles, and only a few centimeters of hairstyle made Xiang Yuan, who was already a little fierce in his face, even more unapproachable.
Under the high convex eyebrow bones, the sharp tiger eyes slowly swept through the hall on the first floor of Huafeng Building, and the people who were swept by Xiang Yuan's gaze all subconsciously avoided this look, and their hearts trembled slightly.
Zhao Da was not found on the first floor, Xiang Yuan took a step into this Huafeng Building, and raised his legs to the second floor.
Crunch!
The burly and muscular body made Xiang Yuan let out an overwhelmed moan every time he went up a step.
Stepping on the last staircase, Xiang Yuan raised his eyes and saw that Zhao Da, who was surrounded by several disciples in the middle, looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Presumably this is Xiang Yuan, Brother Xiang, please sit down. β
Seeing Xiang Yuan go upstairs, Zhao Dahaha, the head of the flower tiger, smiled, and the iron ball in his hand continued to rotate and rub.
And he himself leaned back slightly, leaning back in his chair, and had no intention of getting up at all.
"I heard that your family has suffered heavy losses because of the encirclement and suppression of the bandits in Yuntianzhai.
Brother, I have always had a good relationship with the old master, please come to my brother today, just to want you to chat, and at the same time to send my brother a tribute. β
Zigu stepped forward and sat opposite Zhao Da, Xiang Yuan opened a teacup, and poured a cup of fragrant tea for himself:
"Gang Leader Zhao, you and I are both martial arts practitioners, so what can I say directly.
The most annoying thing to someone is the person who grinds and chirps, as for mourning...... Ho ho
It's been two months, and Gang Leader Zhao's mourning is really not too late at all. β
"Hahaha, Brother Xiang is a cheerful person, since that's the case, brother, I'll say it directly.
To tell you the truth, my brother and I have worked hard to run the Aiki Gang over the years, and I dare not slack off at all.
So today, my brother asked my brother to come here, just to discuss with you, can you hand over the three blacksmith shops in Nancheng to me Aiki Gang to take care of.
Of course, you can rest assured, this blacksmith shop earns fifty percent of its monthly income, and my brother will send someone to Guanyimen.
In this way, you don't have to waste manpower to manage it, even if it is my brother, I will repay the kindness of the old master back then. β
is like a face of repaying gratitude, Zhao Da's words are sincere and sincere, but in Xiang Yuan's ears, it is another taste.
Tapping his fingertips on the table, Xiang Yuan leaned forward slightly, the corners of his mouth pulled up, and squeezed out a smiling face: "It turns out that Gang Master Zhao asked me to come here today just for this matter."
Three blacksmith shops......
Hehehe, Gang Leader Zhao really has a good appetite. β
The three blacksmith shops in Nancheng are all important industries of Guanyimen, and it can be said that nearly two-and-a-half percent of Guanyimen's annual income comes from these three blacksmiths.
Zhao Da's words on the face are very beautiful, and he will give fifty percent of the income of the blacksmith shop to one door.
But as long as you think about it carefully, Zhao Da is at all.
The industry has fallen into the hands of Aiki's helpers, and how good the monthly income is, isn't it still up to them to have the final say.
When the time comes, they can say how much they will give a door in a month.
"Eh, brother, what are these words?
Now that Guanyi is in turmoil, rather than these industries being robbed in the end, it is better for you and me to cooperate, wouldn't it be a win-win result. Looking at Xiang Yuan with a smile, Zhao Da looked like he was holding it in his palm, and he was full of confidence in the face of the young man in front of him.
"So, Gang Leader Zhao has already made up his mind? In that case, why did he call me over to talk. Leaning back in the chair, Xiang Yuan clasped his arms around his chest, and in the face of Zhao Da's strength, he chose to continue watching.
"Actually, this time my brother asked my brother to come, and I had another idea.
According to the wisdom of the brothers, it should be able to be seen that without Li Tianhai's group of people, it can be said that the wind and rain will be stormy, and the sunset will be in the west.
The days when my brother came to Zhuyang were not long, so I don't know that in the history of running a family, I can offend many people in Zhuyang.
Now that Li Tianhai and the others are dead, seeing that the big tree of Guanyi Gate is about to fall, I believe that many people will soon stand up and push it forward.
There won't be any good way out for you to stay in this rotten land of Guanmen, so in that case, you might as well consider my Aiki Gang.
Now in Zhuyang City, in addition to penetrating one gate, I am the most powerful Aiki Gang.
And after so many years of running the underworld business, my brother and I have saved a lot of money.
As long as the brother is willing to come, the position of this deputy gang leader belongs to you.
Brother, I'm over fifty years old this year, and when I retire, this Aiki Gang will be yours.
Isn't that much better than staying in that precarious, depraved gate?"
got up and walked to Xiang Yuan's side, Zhao Da was describing a beautiful blueprint to Xiang Yuan with every word.
Obviously, this time he invited Xiang Yuan to come over, not just to try to run through the industry.
It is also to dig Xiang Yuan, a dark martial artist, into his own account!
Tilting his head slightly, raising his eyebrows and looking at Zhao Da with a smile on his face beside him, Xiang Yuan suddenly remembered an idiom in his previous life, called the frog at the bottom of the well.
Zhao Da, who has been working hard in Zhuyang City all his life, seems to have regarded the one-third of an acre of land in Zhuyang City as his lifelong goal.
In his opinion, he would be satisfied if he could annex the current Guanyi Gate before he died and become Zhuyang's new "Guanyimen".
In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of wish is already a very grand wish, after all, from the perspective of ordinary people.
Even if it is the current Zhao Da, it is also a double income of wealth and power, which is enviable, and if it can annex the industry of Guanyimen, it will be even more amazing.
However, in Xiang Yuan's view, these views and wishes are extremely naΓ―ve and short-sighted.
Having seen the real crushing power of this world, the wealth and power of the world have long been forgotten by Xiang Yuan.
Otherwise, he would not have given up the wealthy life at home, practiced martial arts since he was a child, and even stayed away from his hometown to come to Zhuyang to learn art.
Shrugging his shoulders, Xiang Yuan slowly got up, and his height of almost two meters was more than half a head of Zhao Da beside him.
Looking down, looking at Zhao Da in front of him, Xiang Yuan said calmly:
"Gang Leader Zhao, the conditions you said are indeed very tempting.
However, Xiang someone has also suffered a lot of grievances in Guanyi over the years, and as soon as the old master and my mentor left, I Xiang Yuan defected to the enemy, and I couldn't do this kind of thing that was poked in the backbone.
What you want me to do is simple.
We are all practicing the family, and the matter of practicing the family will be solved by the method of practicing the family.
Today is autumn, the third day of the next month, on the plum blossom platform in the north of the city, we will judge under our hands.
If you win, you can take the three blacksmiths, and I don't want a word.
But if you lose, I will run a grain of rice, and you don't have to worry about it. β
After Zhao Da heard this, the fierceness in his eyes flashed, and then he laughed:
"Okay! Since my brother wants to compete with my brother, I will definitely accompany him!
On the third day of the first month of next month, let's Meihuatai and compete in it!"
......
"You want to do it with Zhao Da?" In the bedroom, Wang Bai paced back and forth in the room with some solemnity, and after learning from Xiang Yuan that he was going to do it with Zhao Da, he expressed great concern.
"Zhao Da is an old dark martial artist, when the old master was alive, he attached great importance to his strength, and tried to pull him into my Guanyi Gate several times, but he refused.
To be honest, I'm not optimistic about you doing it with him this time. Looking at Xiang Yuan seriously, Wang Bai's words were very solemn.
"Don't worry, since I dare to make a war with him, I am completely sure.
In the battle of Yuntianzhai, I benefited a lot, a Zhao Da can't hurt my muscles and bones. β
Sitting at the table covered with blue bird show yellow lines, Xiang Yuan picked up the teacup and blew gently: "By the way, Yan Yi, haven't they come back yet, it's been a few months." β
Yan Yi in Xiang Yuan's mouth is the senior brother who runs through the door, and he has traveled for three years.
After the Yuntianzhai incident, Xiang Yuan asked Wang Bai to send news to these traveling disciples, but more than three months have passed, except for the return of one traveling disciple.
Yan Yi has not moved.
"Not yet, but the senior brother has already written back to me last month, saying that he is rushing back with all his might, and the time should be in the next few days. Wang Bai thought and said.
"This is for you, Yan Yi hasn't come back for so long, I'm afraid that my heart is no longer in the door.
Even if he comes back this time, he may not be able to carry the banner inside the door.
This is my summary of the experience of breaking through the dark energy, you take it back and see, if you become a dark energy martial artist, you will be able to settle down. He took out a thin booklet from his arms and handed it to Wang Bai, Xiang Yuan's expression was flat, as if he was handing out an ordinary martial arts annotation.
"This ......" looked at the experience handed to Xiang Yuan with a shocked gaze, Wang Bai subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand, but his hand was halfway out, and he shrank back again: "This is too precious." β
The martial arts experience of practicing the family is their most precious thing.
This seemingly thin booklet is actually a treasure accumulated by Xiang Yuan bit by bit in the cold winter and heat, day and night training year after year.
Even if it is a master and apprentice, they may not be able to teach each other, let alone organize and write down those subjective feelings.
"I can't take on the responsibility of the old master and the master, and this thing can be regarded as a reward for the kindness of the master and the master.
You take it first, if you don't understand something, you can ask me at any time. Directly stuffed the booklet in his hand into Wang Bai's hand, Xiang Yuan got up and patted the friend on the shoulder, and walked out of the room.
After Xiang Yuan left, Wang Bai clutched the booklet in his hand and let out a low sigh after a long time......
first challenged Zhao Da, and then left a dark experience.
Wang Bai now knows very well in his heart that Xiang Yuan's various actions are actually repaying the kindness of Guan Yimen.
And when the favor is repaid......
