Chapter 242: Afternoon Tea! (2)
Blackwater.
The most chaotic area of Huaxin City. Not one of them!
As the junction of the north and south districts, this is almost the most mixed area in the city.
Ten years ago, fights were commonplace, and there were countless fights every day. It's not surprising that someone is dead. What's more, there are occasional big fights. Rao is the citizens who live in this area are also accustomed to it, and it is not strange to see it.
Living in this area, there are very few citizens who dare to go out at night. Everyone is worried about being slashed by a blade as soon as they go out - this kind of accidental injury is not uncommon. And it happens from time to time!
Five years ago, the scorpion planted a flag in this three-area and quickly made a name for itself. Collecting the small minions in the neighborhood for his own use, the incidents of fighting, stealing chickens and dogs gradually decreased.
Today, this area has been taken care of by the Knife Society, and the law and order problems have steadily improved, not to mention that the house is not closed at night, but there is very little bloodshed.
It's just that today, the citizens in the neighborhood felt a strong sense of unease.
Yes. Disturbed.
The streets and alleys are full of sharply dressed bastards, and if you look closely, you can clearly see the bulging outline of their waists.
Citizens with even the slightest bit of experience can guess that these men carry weapons with them.
If this were all there is to it, the citizens would not be so nervous. After all, most of the citizens who have lived in the Heishui District for a period of time have some psychological capacity. If you can't even withstand this little battle, I'm afraid you will have moved out of the Heishui District a long time ago, smashed pots and sold iron to go to an area with better public security.
What makes them so upset is not that the streets are full of bastards. It's a solemn black car.
In addition, there are groups of black supermen in suits and leather shoes.
Their expressions were grim and their steps were steady. It's not like an ordinary bastard, but like a super bodyguard.
The gang's destination is a tea restaurant. The most famous tea restaurant in Heishui District - Qingshui Building.
Speaking of Qingshui Building, it is a tea restaurant in Heishui District, not only because of the delicious pastries and snacks it makes, but also because it is the most expensive tea restaurant in Heishui District. It is said that the shop has a history of more than 50 years and has gone through three generations. Pastries and snacks are ancestral recipes that cannot be eaten outside.
Regardless of whether these so-called ancestral snacks are really that delicious, at least no one can enter Qingshui Building today, no matter how rich and powerful you are, you will never be able to step into Qingshui Building to eat a cage of crab roe buns.
There is no other reason.
The eighth master, the strongest overlord in the underground world of Huaxin City, drank lunch here and took over the field.
Who would dare to bother?
Who would anger the famous Eighth Master for a pot of tea?
Of course. If Qiao Ba took over the entire venue just for the sake of having an afternoon tea, it would inevitably seem too out-of-place. This is also not in line with Qiao Ba's consistent style in recent years.
As for the reason, others don't know, but some of the bastards on the road of the news channel know: Later, Qiao Ba, the leader of the Southern District, will have the first meeting here with the strongest knife in the Northern District!
Don't you see?
The alleys, sidewalks, and even streets near the Qingshui Building were cleaned up. It is necessary to make this meeting foolproof.
It can be said that with Qingshui Building as the center, there are almost no idle people within a radius of one mile, and this level of clearance. In addition to the police in Huaxin City, I'm afraid that only the heroes Qiao Ba or the behind-the-scenes controllers of the Knife Club have this energy, right?
If you look down from the air, you can clearly see that the bastards who spread around the Qingshui Building are all in a state of strict security. There are even many bastards whose palms are pressed against their waists, as if if if something is wrong, they will feel for their blades to cut down the hostile bastards. Everyone's eyes showed vigilance and cruelty. The smell of gunpowder is very strong.
The men in the suits also stared at each other with cold expressions, although they were much calmer than the little bastards. But their bodies were also tense.
This is a conversation between the strongest people in the north and south districts, and no one knows what will happen during the conversation, whether it will be a false chat or a big fight without a word.
Either way, these little ones didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
They are well aware that once they strike, it will be a never-ending battle. If you don't make the best preparations, you may be hacked to death by your opponent in an instant!
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The sunlight, which had been crawling out lazily, seemed to be tired, and hid through the thick clouds. This makes the area more gloomy and depressing.
Autumn was already in full swing, but the people on both sides were sweating and staring at each other nervously. Don't dare to relax for a moment.
Pedal!
On a walkway outside the Shimizu Building, Scar walked towards the door with a slight hurry. He was followed by eight men in suits, like the Eight Heavenly Kings, surrounded by stars and moons, with a look of indifference.
"How's it going?" The walking Scar turned his head indifferently and asked.
"Two hundred men and horses are waiting nearby, all of them are first-class fighters. You can start playing at any time. The man in the suit said intently.
"Hmm." Scar nodded slightly, and said again. "Where's the police nearby?"
"Because this meeting was in the Blackwater district, both the northern and southern police districts sent people over. But they all crouched at a distance, and if they didn't fight, they wouldn't shoot. Even if we start fighting, we will wait for our fish to break the net and clean up the mess. The man in the suit said cautiously.
"Tell them to go down, let them be honest, they can't mess around without my orders. We put up this battle because we didn't want to weaken our momentum in front of Qiao Ba, and we didn't really want to fight. Scar pulled out a white handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. It seems that there is a feeling that I can't hold back the battle that is being put on today.
"Yes." The man in the suit turned away and delivered Scar's order.
Walking to the door of Qingshui Tower, Scar suddenly paused, and after taking a long breath, he paced in calmly.
———— the center of the hall, Qiao Ba was calmly making tea, and there were only four men standing behind him who couldn't feel any breath on their bodies. There is no one else to guard it.
But no one dares to underestimate these four people, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that these four people are Qiao Ba's four protectors, and the four famous King Kongs on the road. Qiao Ba didn't know how many times he was in danger, but in the end, he was escorted back safely by these four people.
It can be said that these four people are like the shadows of Qiao Ba. Wherever Qiao Ba goes, they go. Proportionality.
Southerners like to drink kung fu tea, a small cup of tasting, not as heroic as the northern ** bowl, but more delicate and exquisite. Qiao Ba is a northerner, he came to Huaxin City at the age of eighteen, but it was not until he was forty years old that he liked kung fu tea. The reason is that he thinks that kung fu tea can calm the mind and nourish nature.
When it comes to his position, the matter of fighting and killing is no longer suitable for him. What he needs to grasp is the overall situation, and what he needs to control is the situation.
As for the angry and bloody deeds, Qiao Ba was tired of playing long before he was forty years old. I don't want to play anymore either.
"Whew-"
The tea soaked the teacup, Qiao Ba picked it up, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then took a sip.
The Chinese character is divided into three mouthfuls, one is for drinking, two is for drinking, and three is for the product. Therefore, a cup of tea requires three sips to taste the taste.
Qiao Ba has been immersed in the southern tea ceremony for nearly ten years, and he knows the true meaning of it, so he drank it all in three sips.
Putting down the teacup, Qiao Ba inadvertently flicked a Buddha bead with the thumb of his left hand, and looked softly at the door where footsteps came.
It's just that when the slightly hurried footsteps came into his ears, a trace of brilliance flashed across Qiao Ba's face.
Kicking and staring - Scar pressed the apprehension in his heart, pretended to step into the door calmly, and said with an indifferent smile on his face: "I'm really sorry for making the eighth master wait for a long time." ”
With that, Scar walked towards the chair opposite Qiao Ba. Very lightly, he pulled the chair away, intending to sit down.
In terms of seniority, he is not as good as Qiao Bada.
In terms of status in the rivers and lakes, he is not as high as Qiao Bagao.
In terms of strength, he is not as good as Joe's top eight.
But in terms of identity, Qiao Ba is the leader in the Southern District, and his Scar is the most powerful big brother in the Northern District. So this chair, he sits!
It's just that before he sat down, Qiao Ba suddenly raised his eyes to look at Scar. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he asked very indifferently, "You want to sit?" ”
"yes. Any questions? Eighth Master? Scar smiled.
"Sit." Qiao Ba said with a flat expression. "Sit over there."
He pointed to a chair at the edge of the hall and said lightly.
After that, he didn't pay attention to Scar's distorted and annoyed look, and made and tasted tea gently.
Scar froze in place for a long time before moving with great difficulty and walking to a chair beside him.
First encounter. Joe Eight wins.
Tick. Tick.
The time pointed to half past three in the afternoon, and Qiao Ba had been waiting for half an hour since Scar came. Counting the time, Qiao Ba has been drinking kung fu tea here for a full hour.
Who is qualified to make him wait so patiently in Huaxin City?
Brother Kobayashi too!
Groov.
Groov.
At last, there was a steady and steady sound of footsteps at the door, and the spacing of each step was excellent, not big or small, and the sense of rhythm and rhythm was extremely strong. Only an extremely confident man can step on such a step.
When the footsteps sounded, Qiao Bafang looked at the door with a slightly relaxed expression. The teacup in his hand was also slowly lowered.
Lin Ze is here.
He walked into the hall casually, followed by a pair of very beautiful siblings. His steps are easy, but full of a strong sense of rhythm.
How can an ordinary man take such a rhythmic step?
Lin Ze held a cigarette in his mouth, his hands sank into the pockets of his jeans, and the green smoke swirled, enveloping half of his head. There is a bit of a smell of green fangs.
As soon as he entered, his eyes glanced at Qiao Ba and Scar like a torch, and suddenly spit out the cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth, and said meaningfully: "Eighth Master, don't you be annoyed to let you wait for an hour in vain, right?" ”
"I am the Lord and you are the guest. How could the host complain about the lateness of the guests? Qiao Ba said gracefully.
"Eighth Master, I think you're mistaken." Lin Ze paced, pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up the teacup and drank down, smashed his mouth, and stared at Qiao Badao. "In Blackwater, when will it be your turn to call the shots?"
