Chapter Twenty-Four: Befriending.
Xia Ye is indeed well-informed, not only has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, but also seems to be clear in official matters. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info such as the people of the state capital, which royal academy they graduated from, and how they were promoted along the way, it is very clear. In which year, which state exploded the people in rebellion, which general led the troops to quell the rebellion, what were the gains and losses of strategy and tactics, one by one, even the big battle in Qingzhou City last year was also talked about.
Zhang Qi began to hold the attitude of talking and listening. After listening to it for a while, I realized that this cheap big brother really had goods in his stomach, and he was not bragging casually. I couldn't help but correct my mentality, talked deeply with him, humbly asked for advice, and appropriately expressed some of my own opinions. The two talked more and more, Xia Ye painted an image of an angry young man who was worried about the country and the people, depreciating the disadvantages of the times, and having a flamboyant personality, but some views were idealistic. Zhang Qi, on the other hand, is calm and tranquil, showing a rationality that is extremely inconsistent with his age. After the two argued, they both felt that they had gained a lot, and the more Xia Ye talked, the more surprised he became. Is this kid really only 12 years old? His views are novel and exquisite, his narration is clearly organized, and his analysis of people and things is often to the point, and he is not more worried than those old rivers and lakes and old officials. Qingzhou Zhang's family, when did such a prodigy come out? No, demon! Send someone to investigate in detail as soon as possible, this is the pillar of the future country, and he must be included in his own command, if he is famous, other brothers will definitely fight for it.
A village courtyard outside the city of Anbei, covering an extremely wide area, pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, extremely luxurious. I don't know if I think it's the courtyard of a rich man and a high-ranking official, but insiders know that this place is the Longtan Tiger's Den, because the main altar of the Babei Gang is located here. Zhou Yuanba, the leader of the Babei Gang in his sixties, is in a very happy mood today, the nineteenth concubine has just given birth to a fat boy for him, although he has already had children and grandchildren, but he has many sons and blessings.
The good mood was ruined by an incident that his subordinates had just reported, and a small business in the city was lost, he frowned, interrupted his subordinates' words, and said: "Big fart, you still need to tell me, let the master deal with it." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave, to see the newborn child. The subordinate did not retreat, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "What's the matter?" "The master was killed!" The subordinate's words were like a thunderbolt, shocking him.
The middle-aged man involved in the business was quickly brought up, and as he spoke, Zhou Yuanba burst into anger. After a while, the subordinates sent to check on the place of the incident carried his master back. Chai Wuxin was covered in blood, and his sternum was all broken, but fortunately, his kung fu was good, so he survived, but even if he was cured, he couldn't take care of himself. Zhou Yuanba suppressed his anger, sat on the chair and thought about it, except for the beginning of the business, he had never encountered such a thing. Is this an accidental incident, or is it a deliberate provocation by other forces? But no matter what the situation is, this revenge must be avenged, and it must be avenged immediately, otherwise how will the Gang of the North Gang be mixed up on the road in the future!
The Babei Gang was launched, and there was a riot in Anbei City, and the final result made Zhou Yuanba shocked and angry, those two murderers, who were in the industry under his name at this time, Shuiyun Pavilion swaggered and drank, this was completely a slap in the face of eating fruits! Zhou Yuanba immediately entered the city, he wanted to visit the relationship in the officialdom first, he expected that the movement would be not small, some procedures would have to go, and things on the surface would be put on hold. This is also an important reason for his success, he is cautious and unwilling.
Zhang Qi and Xia Ye were eating happily and talking happily, and before they knew it, the sun was setting outside the window. The two of them were drunk and slightly smoky, and they were fighting to check out, struggling to detect that something was wrong, because the entire upstairs, the diners were at their table, and the shopkeeper was nowhere to be seen. The two glanced at each other and walked downstairs calmly, only to see that Shuiyun Pavilion had been blocked, and an old man with extraordinary bearing in the hall was sitting in the middle of it, staring at them coldly. Behind stood the middle-aged man who had touched the porcelain, and a few people next to him carried a stretcher, on which lay the scholar, who wanted to say something with a cruel smile, but couldn't say it.
Xia Ye suddenly sighed to himself and said, "I've been really lazy lately, my kung fu has obviously been pulled down, and I haven't kicked this scumbag to death." Chai Wuxin's originally smiling face suddenly stiffened, and he raised his finger to Xia Ye with difficulty, the corners of his mouth were overflowing with blood, and his hand fell down for a while. Zhang Qi secretly admired, this brother's mouth is poisonous enough, and he will be angry to death with one sentence.
Zhou Yuanba's eyes were no longer cold, but hot, so hot that they were red and congested. Before he could interrogate the details and explain the scene, his master was angry to death. What else to say! Even if the corpse is broken, it will not be able to relieve the hatred in the heart. With a kick on the ground, he flew in front of the two of them, and the nine-eared golden ring knife slashed at the venomous young man with the afterimage of the knife.
Zhou Yuanba hasn't done it himself for a long time, but it doesn't mean that his skills are ridiculous, and the life of pilaf and eating in the blood basin makes him always vigilant and practice diligently every day. When I was young, I was taught a kind of exercise by a stranger, and after practicing it diligently, I did not become physically weak due to old age, but on the contrary, because of the increase in knowledge and experience, my kung fu was better than before. The style of this knife is domineering and swift, shocking the opponent's liver and gallbladder with momentum, and breaking any resistance of the opponent with strength.
Before the knife arrived, Xia Ye's face changed, and he couldn't stop this knife. Instinctively, he was about to twist his waist and jump to dodge, but he saw a fist coming from the side, hitting the big knife. Xia Ye felt bitter in his heart, this stupid brother was still too tender, and he was desperately injured and swung his sword to meet him. But what happened next made him completely stunned, and the sword froze halfway, and turned his head with difficulty, looking at it in disbelief, and his face was calmly opened.
According to common sense, boxing broadsword, that's to play crippled rhythm. But before the fist hit the knife, there was a bang, and the nine-eared golden ring knife that was like thunder flew out of its hand, inserted it into the hall beam, and shattered into several pieces and fell down. Zhang Qi had some scruples, he didn't want to kill people in public, otherwise why should that punch be aimed at the knife and hit the old man directly, I believe that he will not be stronger than the thick tree at the mouth of the bowl.
Zhou Yuanba was shocked, the hand holding the knife was bleeding, and he only felt a huge force hitting the knife at that time, and it was impossible to hold the knife. The heart sank to the bottom, and when it hit hard stubble, it may be planted today, but even if it is planted, it must be found under the steps to save face. What happened today, other forces will definitely pay attention, and will definitely not let go of the opportunity to fall into the ground, if it is not even, the Babei Gang will soon be suppressed and fall apart.
When he is older, his reaction is sluggish, and he is also an old oilman in the rivers and lakes, but he was not awakened by the trick just now, and the nine-eared golden ring knife was shattered by a punch, what kind of concept is that! If he is sober, he should definitely make amends immediately, turn around and leave, how far he can hide, but now he is still thinking about what steps and face, the good life has been too long, and he has forgotten who he is.
Zhou Yuanba put his hands behind his back, put on a posture of having everything under control, and said tepidly: "Two friends, the old man is the leader of the North Gang, I don't know where my gang offended you? Kill my gang, you must give an explanation!" Zhang Qi is not very angry, underground forces are everywhere, just whether he is arrogant and excessive, whether he follows the bottom line of thieves and Taoists, he is not naïve enough to eradicate the injustices in the world, and return the people to the bright and prosperous world.
