Chapter 129: Crescent Spring Town, Tank Gang Ambition (1)
The education of any country is very important, just like the spear girl, after receiving the brainwashed education, she always and everywhere to protect the interests of the United States of America, and consciously become the spokesperson of the national interests. The theory that America is strong and America is just is engraved in her mind and will never be erased. Therefore, the country's culture and education can dominate the future of the people, which is more important than any strong ship and artillery, because this is an ideological position, if the country does not plant a flag and occupy it, then it will definitely be taken advantage of by foreign cultures.
At present, whether on Hong Kong Island or on the mainland, this kind of ideological education has become more and more important.
While I was silent, the Lance Girl had been secretly observing.
I believe she is a smart person, and even if I don't refute it out loud, she can see that I don't agree with that.
"Mr. Long, this is an era of heroes, so when the Snow Bodhisattva sent you an invitation just now, I very much hope that you will agree. Play chess to find a master, get an axe to the class gate. Only by working side by side with a master like you can I make further progress. I wonder why Mr. Long refused to join the Yellow Flower Society, since the world knows that the United States is the number one power today. You should know very well that there are not many people in the world who are worthy of the Huanghua Society to extend an olive branch several times. She said.
I shook my head: "That's not the problem, I also admit that the United States of America today is extremely powerful, and its military, economic, and political status surpasses that of other countries. However, a normal person always has his own bottom line of principles, that is, no matter whether his country is strong or weak, developed or backward, it cannot be replaced by other countries, which is where the ancient Chinese saying 'the son is not ugly and the dog is not poor'. ”
The spearmaid also shook her head: "Mr. Long, I don't agree with your point of view, because I have seen in major cities in the United States that many elites from other countries are working hard and working day and night for a green card. At the annual oath-taking ceremony, many people hugged their heads and cried excitedly after passing the final selection. What does this mean? Doesn't that illustrate the strong attraction of the United States? Newton claimed that it was on the shoulders of giants that he achieved what he is today. So, if a hero like Mr. Dragon could rely on the great strength of the United States of America, wouldn't he be able to soar and look up to the heavens and the earth? ”
I fully admit that these are facts, and the Internet is flooded with real photos that confirm the words of the spearwoman.
After a long period of suffering and waiting, they finally got their wish and received the coveted green card from the household registration officer.
Everyone has their own ideas, and as time goes by, this idea may change, as many Chinese think tank experts say, now the Chinese are rushing to the United States, ten years from now, twenty years from now, maybe these people will return to their roots and become a new force in the construction of China.
Until the end, no one will be able to see through the results, and it is too early to say who is stronger and who is weak between the United States and China.
Of course, I don't want to argue with the spear girl about this, we are Jianghu people, and we are talking about Jianghu affairs, and in this situation, the tank gang is covering up, and Huanghua will be busy defending against strong enemies, so naturally there is no need to distract too much energy on ideological issues.
In my opinion, what the Lancer should do is to return to the Snow Bodhisattva and take on the task of defense. If we blindly dwell on these issues, it is the greatest irresponsibility.
"Alright, the Snow Bodhisattva is waiting for you." I say.
The spearmaid smiled and shook her head: "We never took the Tank Gang seriously, and what we really care about is the people who are hiding behind the Tank Gang. ”
"Is it the Emperor of the North?" I asked.
The spearwoman nodded: "The Northern Emperor is only a part, the Tank Gang has a great appetite, never underestimate these Jianghu people who are born at the bottom of society." What they see in their eyes is the world's richest man like Li Ka-shing and Bill Gates, and they can't wait to make enough money at one time and let the world pay for them. Therefore, they are not satisfied with cooperating with the Northern Emperor, but they are mothers if they have milk, and whoever pays will work for whomever they want. In this case, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. The Great General and the Snow Bodhisattva saw this more clearly, and I didn't have to worry about the war strategy at all. I'm just a gunslinger, waiting for orders, shooting the enemy, with little brains. ”
I know about the Tank Gang in much the same way as the Lance Girl.
This category of Jianghu sects is just a rabble, and the only goal they are chasing is unlimited money, which can be bought at any time and betrayed at any time, and they are not trustworthy at all, or even worth killing.
"Lance Girl." The voice of the Snow Bodhisattva came from the second layer.
"I went." The spearwoman said.
She walked up the stone steps and suddenly turned around: "Mr. Long, if Huanghua will go to war with the Northern Emperor, you will still be on our side, right?" ”
In a hurry, I can't answer this question. Even though the General, Snow Bodhisattva, and Lance Girl are all Chinese-Americans, they represent the interests of the United States of America, not the Chinese nation. In that case, they and the Northern Emperor can be regarded as strangers, and helping this or that remains to be investigated.
I hesitated for a moment and smiled lightly: "This topic can be discussed again." ”
The spearmaid frowned: "In this case, maybe there will be a day when we will face each other on the battlefield." I was scared, but I was a little expectant, after all, people like Mr. Long, whether they were friends or enemies, were fun. ”
She walked up the stone steps and disappeared gently around the bend.
I chewed on this for a long time, because she made a lot of sense. Between the strong, they temper each other, whether they become friends or enemies, which is the touchstone of their own personal growth.
Gradually, I heard the sound of speeding cars outside the stone tower.
Under the rolling of the wheels, gravel flew in all directions.
Half a minute later, two cars pulled up outside the door, and the sound of sharp brakes broke the silence around them.
Immediately after, at least seven or eight people jumped out of the car, and the sound of leather boots landing on the ground was noisy and harsh.
"The tank has arrived, where is the boss of the Yellow Flower Society?" Seven or eight people screamed.
I listened intently, and one of them was supposed to be smoking, coughing softly. The fact that everyone was shouting and he didn't say a word proved that he was the leader of the group.
The wooden door was pushed open, and several bright flashlights shone in, covering the dim yellow light of the candles.
Seven or eight people broke in together, and the inside of the stone tower immediately became crowded. Before they could enter, I had dodged behind the stone steps, hidden in the darkness.
I'm not afraid of the Tank Gang, but it's not the right time to be against them.
They came to the Yellow Flower Society, and I reluctantly overstepped it, and it didn't make any sense.
"What about people, what about people?" Seven or eight people were looking around and shouting.
The man who smoked did not come in, and I clearly felt that this person's IQ was very high, and it seemed that he had glimpsed the Snow Bodhisattva's arrangement.
"Go upstairs. Go to the top. Someone shouted.
Behind me was a small two-foot square window, which was open and the night breeze was pouring in.
After a moment's thought, I crept out of the window and stood behind the stone tower. At this time, I can actually take advantage of the chaos to leave, away from the dispute between the Yellow Flower Society and the Tank Gang, and also avoid the invitation of the Snow Bodhisattva.
This may be a good way to stay alone, but as I walked around the parking lot in front of the stone tower, I suddenly noticed that the flame of cigarette butts flickered three steps ahead, and there was a faint smell of smoke floating in the air. It turned out that the smoker was standing against the outer wall of the stone tower, facing up on his back, looking at the roof.
The sound of my footsteps alarmed him, and he was really alert, slipping on his feet, taking five steps backwards, and at the same time drawing his gun with both hands, pointing it at my chest.
"Not an enemy, just a passerby." I faintly identified myself.
When the man drew his gun, the cigarette in his finger was already in the corner of his mouth, and once he was composed, he took a sharp breath, slowly puffing out the smoke from his nostrils.
"I know you, the painter of the Mogao Grottoes, right?" He asked.
In the night, the hungry wolf-like eyes on his face unexpectedly bloomed with a faint blue light.
I nodded, "Not bad." ”
"If you can come here, you must have something to do with Huanghua. Unfortunately, all those who are related to the Yellow Flower Society are the targets of our blockade. He said.
I shook my head: "Your Excellency is wrong, there are so many people in Dunhuang, as long as you set foot in Luopan Village, are you the people of the Yellow Flower Society?" ”
He laughed, and his laughter was like a night owl: "You're right, all the people in the entire Luopan Village are soldiers, and they are all members of the Yellow Flower Society." So, everyone who approaches the stone tower has no intention of going back alive, and I hope you will too. ”
Luopan Village was dark, there was not a single light in sight, and it seemed that every household had fallen asleep, and there were no more awake people.
The stone pagoda was built on the highest point of the village. I can imagine that the residents here all have some kind of mission to sanitation around the stone tower. As the person in front of him said, Luopan Village is the stronghold of the Yellow Flower Society, and once the war starts, the enemy will be surrounded by the villagers.
"It's useless, the person you're looking for may not be here." I say.
"I don't even know who I'm looking for, you know?" He asked.
I shook my head and cautiously replied, "I don't know." ”
"It is said that the Yellow Flower Society sent a lot of people over for the legendary Dunhuang Heavenly Machine. But I have been in Dunhuang for many years, only heard the name of Dunhuang Tianji, but never had the opportunity to get close to the secret, do you think this is a pity? Now, it's finally the turn of Dunhuang Tianji to be born, as a local character in the rivers and lakes, shouldn't I have a foot in it and share it? This should be fair. In Dunhuang, although there are many gangs, only my tank gang is a native of the township party, and is fully qualified to become the master of Dunhuang Tianji, hoarding and waiting for the price to sell. He said.
I don't bother to refute these words, because they are so ridiculous that not a single word of them holds true.
In the eyes of the gangsters, the Tank Gang is just a ruffian hooligan society, who wants guns without guns, money without money, and people without people. In this case, the tank gang does not have any bargaining power, but can only act as pawns of the big gang, and is commanded remotely.
Last time, they set a trap in the hotel to calculate the water sleeves, and they didn't know how thick the sky was. If they knew how powerful the Gu clan was, they would have retreated early and slipped away.
"Talking to me about Dunhuang Heavenly Machine, it's just playing the piano to the cow." I say.
He pointed upwards and responded coldly: "My informant said that Huanghua will value you very much, and he will invite you to participate several times." In this way, you are not an ordinary painter, but a fellow practitioner. Dunhuang people are the most faithful, and I understand this kind of truth. Therefore, it is a kind of fate that we meet here, and we must work hand in hand to go to the future together. Now, go up with me, and meet the man who can talk and take care of things. ”
I looked behind him, and two black SUVs were parked diagonally on the side of the road. In addition to the seven people who broke into the stone tower, there were two people in each car, one the driver and one the gunman.
These people are menacing, nominally meeting and negotiating, but in fact they are holding guns to the palace.
"Okay." I nodded.
Since you can't leave, it's also meaningful to listen to what Snow Bodhisattva and the Tank Gang have to talk about.
