Lao Mai arrived at the Crystal Palace at about noon, and was shocked when he saw the situation of "siege" inside.

"What's going on? Sleeping with a woman and sleeping out of international disputes? "It's really embarrassing for him to be in the mood to joke at such a time.

Last night, he suddenly received a call from Guan Luo, asking him to come to Tengchong for a trip, and he basically understood the situation clearly on the way.

Guan Luo personally made tea for him.

"Sit down."

"When you called me to this damn place, you knew you were fine."

"Hmm. Let you come and clean up the mess! ”

"I don't!" Lao Mai pouted, "Are you really going to take this matter to Jiurongtai?" ”

"Then do you think I can push off the current situation?"

"Of course, what does this have to do with Jiurongtai?" Lao Mai didn't understand, "To put it bluntly, that woman is not from the Crystal Palace." She herself made a mistake and wanted to hook up with Aung Hlaing, as for what the two did in the box, how did Aung Hlaing die, what does this have to do with our field? What's more, the cause of Aung Hlaing's death has not yet been clarified. The other party did not accept the autopsy, so he asked you to go to Myanmar for an interview? Doesn't this make it clear that you want to set it off! ”

After Lao Mai finished speaking, he was also frightened by his words.

Guan Luo had already smiled faintly: "You are not too stupid this time, you understand?" ”

"No..."Lao Mai seemed to catch some clues in his mind, but soon disappeared again, and he became more and more confused, "What do you mean......"

"What?"

"Do you suspect it—" Old Maiton felt a net over his head, he didn't dare to be sure what he thought, and stared at Guan Luo with wide eyes.

Guan Luo still touched the rim of the cup calmly, the hot air in the cup was churning, he reached out to his mouth and sniffed it, half of his eyes were covered by mist.

Those eyes that are usually faint, but can turn into a sword at a critical time.

Lao Mai looked creepy.

"Lao Jiu, what do you want?"

Guan smiled and took a sip of tea.

November, late autumn. The smell of burnt leaves can be smelled in the air in Tengchong.

Lao Mai had a bad premonition.

Guan Luo put the teacup on the table: "Yunnan is located on the border, this place has always been unstable, there were many accidents when the old man was there, do you know why he still asked Chi Feng to come over to take care of it?" ”

"Why?" This is also what Lao Mai has never understood.

Chi Feng was sent to Yunnan by Guan Zhaorong because of "committing a crime", but if Yunnan is an eventful place, he should not be transferred here.

"Chi Feng's temperament is too dry, but in fact, he is not a bad person. When the old man was there, he was also dedicated, and the most important thing was that he was not greedy. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Although Yunnan is located on the border, to put it bluntly, there are many poor places, but if you are greedy, there are many ways to make money." Guan Luo's fingers slowly slid along the rim of the cup, "Back then, Yunnan was full of roads, smuggling teak, stones, medicinal herbs, selling wild animals, smuggling, and buying Burmese women from snakeheads at low prices. And the roots and branches are becoming more and more dense, and it is impossible to be clean who will be the main person of Yunnan films. ”

"That's why the old man transferred Chi Feng to Yunnan?"

Guan Luo smiled: "Yes, Chi Feng has been with the old man for almost thirty years, and the old man still knows him well, and the old man who transferred him to Yunnan also knows that he will have trouble sooner or later, but he is not too greedy, and there is a bottom line for making money, which is where the old man is more at ease with him." ”

And that's true.

Chi Feng has made enough money in Yunnan over the years, but he has only touched some things that are not painful, and the biggest way is to collude with Su Hongzhi to do stone smuggling business, but these are still bottom lines.

"There are tens of thousands of brothers in Jiurongtai, and there are three or four thousand people in Yunnan alone, and three or four thousand people have to rely on these doorways to feed, so from my personal point of view, I can forgive Chi Feng for what he did with Su Hongzhi back then."

"Then in that case, why did you want to post Chi Feng three years ago?"

That Dao Rong sticker means that Chi Feng wants to return to Yunling to receive the punishment, because he committed something forbidden in the gang rules.

Guan Luo didn't answer Lao Mai's question, but went straight to the empty cup in front of him, there were already some washed tea leaves in it, he shook it, and asked Lao Mai, "Do you see what's in it?" ”

"Tea leaves."

Guan Xiao quietly took the kettle and poured a little water into it.

"And now?"

"Water!"

"Color!"

"Pu'er, crimson."

"So it's a balance, the water brews the tea leaves, and the tea leaves disperse the aroma into the water, but the tea leaves and the water themselves don't dissolve."

"What do you mean..."

Guan Luo knew that Lao Mai didn't understand, smiled, shook the tea in the cup, and the tea sank down the water.

Lao Mai saw that he was so calm and relaxed, and he was almost impatient.

"What the hell are you trying to tell me?"

Guan Luo was not in a hurry, and continued to shake the small bone china teacup in his hand: "In fact, the reason is very simple, the people in Jiurongtai are the water in this cup, and the rules in the gang are the tea leaves that sink at the bottom, the rules are all set up to restrict people, no one wants to be obedient, but if these tens of thousands of people have no rules, Jiurongtai will not develop into what it is now, so the rules control people, and they can also help people, just like tea and water, they are obviously incompatible, but in fact, they have been turned together......"

Guan Xiao's rhetoric really surprised Lao Mai, but the truth is true.

"What about you? Are you water or a leaf sinking underneath? ”

Guan smiled slightly and put the cup down: "I am neither water nor the leaves underneath, I am the one who makes tea next to me, I must control the water temperature and the amount of tea, the water is too hot, too warm, too much tea, too little, the taste will not be good." ”

As he spoke, Guan Luo had already brewed a cup of tea in his hand and put it in front of Lao Mai.

"You taste it."

Lao Mai took it and took a sip, the tea was fragrant, and it was just the right amount of warmth.

"No wonder the old man loved to drink the tea you made when he was alive."

"Because I'm measured, and I can handle every millimeter just right. The old man hopes that Jiurongtai will last for generations, and whoever comes to break the rules will not work, but tens of thousands of people always have to eat, and some doorways can't be washed at all, so to balance the stakes in this can only rely on the degree of control in my hands, plus dozens of districts in Jiurongtai, each of the main things has selfish intentions and courage, which I want to treat, which I have to pretend to be blind, and one of the poles in this says that I must be just right. ”

It was the first time he had talked about such a topic since he sat on the throne, sitting on a wooden chair under the tree in the atrium of the Crystal Palace.

The cup of tea in front of him was about to get cold, and Lao Mai drank it all in one go.

To put it bluntly, Jiurongtai is a group of hooligans who got up, it is not easy to get to this point, many things are between black and white, Guan Luo has to take tens of thousands of brothers to survive in the gray area, Lao Mai knows that he may have no bones if he deviates a little.

"I knew that the old man was very wise to help you to the throne, there are too many ravines and bends in your kid's brain, and the accounts in your heart are clearly calculated and clean!"

Guan Luo still smiled: "Then you are wrong, the old man asked me to sit in the main seat not because I have a good brain." ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"Because ......" Guan stopped halfway through speaking, "Let's talk about this later, I just want you to know that I sit in this position and do everything for a reason, I was able to move Chi Feng back then, and now I can move Fan Qingyan, how did I help him up at the beginning, and now I will pull him down!" ”

When Guan Luo got up and went back to the back hall, Lao Mai was still standing under the tree, and the cup of tea in front of him had been drunk by him, leaving only the wet tea leaves inside.

"Lao Jiu......" Lao Mai suddenly caught up.

"Anything else?"

"I've always wanted to ask you a question, if Chi Feng had met Rong Tie and returned to Yunling on schedule, would you have opened up to him?"

Guan paused slightly, and bowed slightly: "Yes, it's a pity that Fan Lili and the child who hasn't been born before they have time died, I can understand his feelings, but he used the wrong way, he shouldn't have kidnapped Lou Qingxiao and Tang Jingcheng." ”

Tang Jingcheng was shot in the shoulder during that kidnapping, and Guan Luo will never forget her sharp eyes when she was shot.

"So this time Fan Qingyan used Shen Chunguang to lure you to Myanmar, you have to go?"

"Of course, this account will have to be cleared sooner or later, but Fan Qingyan is even more stupid than Chi Feng, he not only used the wrong way, but also used the wrong person."

In Guan Luo's eyes, how could Shen Chunguang be the same as Tang Jingcheng!

Tang Jingcheng is unique, if he dies, there will be no one else!

…… Remembering the sarcasm of the soil.

In the evening, Fan Qingyan received another call from Myanmar, and even received a photo from the other party.

Fan Qingyan took his mobile phone to find Guan Luo.

Guan Luo was smoking, squinting his eyes and looking at the screen of his mobile phone, on which was the photo, in which Shen Chunguang was wearing a red cage base, tied to a tree pole that resembled a palm tree, his head tilted to the side, his clothes were half wet, and his consciousness did not seem to be very conscious......

Guan took a puff of cigarette, and his expression did not change at all: "What did the other party say?" ”

"Said that I was still waiting for you to pass..."Fan Qingyan held up his mobile phone and kept paying attention to Guan Luo's expression, his eyes were very light, but the smoke rings he spit out were around in front of him, and his whole person was a little gloomy.

"Suo Mingde said that if he didn't see you again within twelve hours, he would throw Shen Chunguang into the barracks."

The meaning of "thrown into the barracks" is easy to understand, just Shen Chunguang's face, isn't it a little sheep thrown into the wolves?

Guan was slow to reply.

Fan Qingyan was in a hurry, and urged again: "Brother Jiu, what do you say here?" ”

"What do you see?"

"I see... According to my opinion, you will go over, there are wars in northern Myanmar all day long, and it is not a big deal to die a general, not to mention that Suo Mingde uses this trick to just want to blackmail our Jiurongtai money, it is really naïve, he is really rare for you! ”

Fan Qingyan said that he laughed first, as if it was an extremely stupid thing for Suo Mingde to use Shen Chunguang as bait.

Guan Luo still didn't squeak, just reached over and tapped a few times on the screen photo with his fingertips, and the point happened to be Shen Chunguang's face.

Fan Qingyan couldn't understand what Guan Luo meant, this man had always done things with deep means, and he couldn't help but feel some fear in his heart.

"Brother Jiu, look..."

Guan Luo withdrew his fingers: "Don't look at it, ask someone to prepare the car." ”

"Spare car?"

"Didn't you say that I should be in Kachin State within twelve hours?"
