After chatting with Wei Xiaobao for a while, he suddenly pulled my shoulders and said mysteriously: "Mouse, do you say we are friends?" ”

I nodded without hesitation: "Yes!" ”

"Then I have something I want you to help with!"

"What's the matter?"

Wei Xiaobao coughed lightly twice: "I want you to help me fight!" ”

"Boxing?" I frowned.

Wei Xiaobao smiled bitterly: "Mouse, you have to help me, no way, the young people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu are going to come to the imperial capital, we have discussed it in our circle, we can't be ashamed, those young people are different from us, our parents are all suspended positions in the organs, and nothing can be done too obviously, they are far away from the emperor, and they have raised some boxers in private, I heard that the people brought over this time are all masters, if they lose, the face of the entire circle of us will be lost." It doesn't have to be you, we have some fighters, but I don't feel at ease and want you to finalize. ”

I squinted and lit a cigarette without speaking, thinking quickly in my head, refusal? Promise?

If he refused, Wei Xiaobao would inevitably be unhappy in his heart, but if he agreed, it would be inevitable that he would not reveal his identity under the attention of so many people, after all, Xian Yuxiu was still in his hands. After thinking about it, if he helped the emperor and these young people win this game, he would win their favor, which would also be of great benefit to his next actions. After weighing the pros and cons, I made my choice.

"Mouse, you're really embarrassed!" Wei Xiaobao saw that I didn't speak, and I thought I wanted to refuse.

I smiled: "Okay, anyway, I haven't been active for a long time, so I'll help you!" ”

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Really? Haha, you kid is righteous enough, don't worry, brother, I won't let you lose, with your skills, I am absolutely assured, and I will give you all the bonuses when the time comes. ”

I smiled playfully and didn't refuse to light a cigarette for myself and said, "But I have to tell you something, I don't want others to see what I look like, and I will be disguised when the time comes." ”

Wei Xiaobao reacted after a moment: "I know, you are afraid of causing trouble, in fact, there is no need, no one dares to touch you with me, but you can do whatever you want." ”

I nodded, Wei Xiaobao was in a good mood, and dragged me to a restaurant in Wangfujing, and after all the dishes were full, Wei Xiaobao said while eating: "I am arranging for someone to do the information of those fighters on the other side." I'll give you a copy when you get it, and you're ready. ”

"Okay, when is the boxing match?"

"Three days later!"

"I see, but I have a question, do you usually like to do this to win or lose?"

Wei Xiaobao shook his head: "No, in fact, everyone has a good relationship, but there is still a division of circles, this kind of competition is just a fun to put it bluntly, money doesn't care, everyone wants a face, especially people in our circle, face is more important than life." ”

"I used to think that black market boxing was either for money or for life, and the first time I heard that it was for face."

"Well, you'll find out after a long time." Wei Xiaobao sighed.

After eating, Wei Xiaobao and I agreed on a time to part ways, I didn't let him send me, but walked along the bustling streets of Wangfujing by myself, the top business district of the imperial capital, the neon signs of the shops on both sides were dazzling, I looked at the surrounding brightly lit street scenes, people came and went, and I felt more and more out of place with these lives.

A young man stood across from me with a smile on his face, and he slowly walked up to me and said politely, "Let's have a cup of tea together." There was no strangeness in the words, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

I nodded, and the young man took the lead towards an antique teahouse, and when he reached the second floor, he sat down in a position where he could see the side of the street.

I looked at the young man's technique, and it seemed that he drank tea regularly, and he was very skillful, and after a while, he gently placed a cup of tea in front of me, and then made a gesture of invitation.

I thanked me and took a sip of the teacup and to be honest, I didn't taste anything, I didn't understand these things in the first place, so I put the teacup on the table and didn't say anything after drinking.

The young man smiled at this time and asked, "How?" ”

"I don't know about tea, but I think it's delicious." I said it truthfully.

"You're honest!" The young man smiled and said, "Meet me, my name is Xian Yu Minghua. ”

When I heard the young man's name, my heart jumped suddenly, and my expression pretended to be very calm: "Hello, Chen Hao." ”

Xian Yu Minghua smiled and continued to make tea, I don't know why Xian Yu Minghua didn't seem to be hostile to me.

"The political children of the imperial capital, in the eyes of outsiders, are people with a halo, they can be arrogant and domineering, maybe you look down on them, but in the next few decades, the whole of China will be people in this circle who will take the helm instead of their fathers. Do you know what is the biggest difference between us and ordinary people? Xian Yu Minghua asked with a smile.

I don't know what he meant by telling me these things, and he said, "I don't know." ”

Xian Yu Minghua still lowered his head and made tea: "The biggest difference is that we don't need to struggle at this time now, one thing to do is to play!" Or do what you want to do, because our fathers are alive. We have enough time to squander our youth, and when the age is right, we will enter politics, and that is the time to collect our hearts, on the contrary, ordinary people are working hard at this time, otherwise they will have problems in their later lives. ”

I vaguely understood what Xian Yu Minghua meant, but I was not sure.

Xian Yu Minghua continued: "Under the entire Chinese political circle are the four major families, and the four major families are the spiritual pillars of tens of thousands of officials in Huaxia, so no matter what happens, the four major families will not fall, just like the Yang family, which has developed since the revolutionary period, the former Yang family has three generations and two marshals, which can be described as the ultimate glory at that time, but now the huge Yang family is only supported by a Yang Hua old-timer who has been retired for many years, and in the eyes of outsiders, once the old head of the Yang family falls, Then the Yang family will inevitably be swallowed up by the remaining three, but how many people know how many hole cards the Yang family has. The seemingly peaceful relationship between political families is also turbulent in secret, but there is no way, born in such a family, you have to shoulder many missions, and sometimes you really wish you were an ordinary person. In the end, Xian Yu Minghua seemed to sigh something.

I nodded: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but I am just a small person, I don't care about these ordinary people, we only have our own lives." ”

Xian Yu Minghua shook his head: "You are not a small person, you can take away the head of the Xian Yu family in the public, and you also helped Wei Xiaobao, how can the person who is in the whole imperial capital full of storms be a small person." ”

When I heard Xian Yu Minghua's words, my pupils followed by a hand on my waist, Xian Yu Minghua still hung his head as if he didn't see my movements: "When I see you, I seem to think of the incident in the imperial capital twenty years ago, and you have his shadow on you." I just don't know if you're as lucky as him. ”

At this time, I have relaxed, I can be sure that Xian Yu Minghua has no ill will towards me, although I don't know why, but I trust my instincts, I took out my cigarette case and lit a cigarette: "Can you tell me about that incident twenty years ago?" ”

Xian Yu Minghua shook his head: "Everyone can tell you, but I can't, this is a family ugly, I don't think anyone will be willing to tell others about their own ugly things." ”

I sighed, a little disappointed, but didn't say anything.
