Chapter 15: Rituals

There were only six people left in the room.

Li Ze, Tu Lichun, Tian Bo, Shen Congxing, and two other guards Chen Bing and Chu Sheng.

Shen Congxing looked left and left, and consciously walked to the back chair and sat down. Because even Chen Bing and Chu Sheng often disappeared from Zhuangzi for a while, and now he understands that they are all here.

It seems that everyone has changed a lot, except for Xiao Gongzi, who has always been like this.

Tian Bo took out a piece of paper from his arms, looked at it, and began to report to Li Ze, which made Shen Congxing extremely surprised, because Tian Bo was illiterate before, and when the two were together before, he often teased Tian Bo with this. When did Tian Bo not only be literate, but also able to write?

There is no long speech, very dry one, two, three, four, five, just to simply say what has been done during this time, what has happened, and what is going to be done next.

Shen Congxing was just distracted for a while, Tian Bo had already finished speaking, and he closed his mouth and looked at Li Ze. Shen Congxing was a little energetic, and gathered to look at the little boy of the capital, he felt that the little boy would definitely talk about the arrangements for him next. He was a little excited from the bottom of his heart, no matter what, he had entered a small circle, a small circle with a little boy as the core. No matter what happens in the future, at least, it will make a lot of ripples in his future life.

He was tired of the days of stagnant water, the peace that made people desperate and had no end in sight.

Li Ze coughed lightly, in the past few years, he has used his ability to establish absolute authority among these people, and no one doubts him because of his age, of course, Li Ze feels that in addition to these, his identity is also another deterrent for them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we have a new partner." Li Ze's gaze fell on Shen Congxing's body.

Shen Congxing immediately stood up and clasped his fists at everyone. Li Ze's opening remarks made him clear that although he was with everyone before, he was an outsider, and it was not until today that he was truly accepted by everyone.

Tian Bo grinned, took out a sharp knife from his arms, and presented it to Li Ze with both hands, Li Ze took it, slashed it in the palm of his hand, and then threw the knife to Shen Congxing.

Shen Congxing's heart shook slightly, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he slashed the knife in the palm of his hand, and then knelt down on one knee towards Li Ze.

Li Ze stretched out his palm and held it tightly with Shen Congxing's palm.

"Blood blends, weal and woe are shared, blessings and woes are shared, if you break this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it, and people and gods will punish together." Li Ze said word by word.

Shen Congxing took a deep breath and said loudly: "Blood blends, weal and woe are shared, and blessings and misfortunes are shared. Shen Congxing has been looking forward to his son's head since today, and he has been going to the soup for his son. ”

"Okay." Li Ze helped Shen Congxing up from the ground with both hands, "From today onwards, that is the real family member." ”

Tian Bo smiled and took the wound medicine from the side, and quickly sprinkled the medicine powder for the two of them, the effect of the medicine powder was excellent, after a period of coolness, the wound was no longer oozing blood, just now in order to show his loyalty, this knife was very deep.

Li Ze sat down again, every time such a ceremony was held, he always felt a little strange in his heart, as if he was an underworld boss recruiting younger brothers. However, whether it is Tu Lichun or Tian Bo, they all eat this set, probably because of this kind of ritual, which greatly enhances their sense of identity.

Li Ze looked around at the people in the room and said: "For a long time in the future, we will not accept new people, so in addition to here, plus Shi Zhuang outside, will constitute our core group, and we will work together to live in the future, one is to live, and the other is to live better." There are many things that I have not talked to you about in detail before, and today, I would like to take this opportunity to briefly talk to you. ”

Li Ze's gaze crossed everyone, and he smiled: "Either you are guessing what I am going to do, or you are guessing whether I want to secretly accumulate strength and fight with my eldest brother who has never met before, in order to win what my father will leave in the future." ”

Speaking of this, he saw that everyone had a nervous look on their faces, but the excited look on Shen Congxing's face made Li Ze stunned, this guy is ambitious.

"But what I'm saying is, no. Our little strength now can be said to be insignificant, and if my eldest brother wants to meet me, he can easily run me to death with two fingers. So, rest assured, I won't kill myself, and if one day, he really wants to get me, I'll take everyone away at most. Li Ze laughed, and everyone in the room also laughed, but Li Ze smiled easily, but they laughed a little reluctantly.

"If the days like this continue to be like this, I also think it's pretty good, Shen Congxing, don't you know that in addition to the secret camp, outside, there is a huge caravan, and there are many shops in the county, we are stretching our tentacles step by step into the distance, so in the future, we can make a lot of money, of course, this is based on the premise that this world will not change. Tu Lichun: They all have shares in this caravan, Shen Congxing, you will not be an exception, after you join, you will also have some shares in the caravan. ”

"If the world remains unchanged, we will be a small rich man in the countryside in this beautiful place, and our caravan will bring us an endless stream of wealth, and now this wealth is enough for us to support the secret camp, in the future, we will only make more and more money, and you should correspondingly My ability to make money is absolutely incomparable." Li Ze held his head high and said proudly.

Except for Shen Congxing, the others nodded again and again, they saw with their own eyes and personally participated in how Li Ze developed a dying Yixing Hall.

"Therefore, if the way of the world remains unchanged, we will all become rich, and when the time comes, you can leave this little Zhuangzi and go wherever you want to go and live the life you want." Li Ze paused, "If the way of the world changes, then the secret camp is the capital to save our lives and the foundation for growth." ”

"Childe, how will the world change?" Shen Congxing asked.

"Separate policies, the world is in chaos, attacking each other, and blood is flowing like a river!" Li Ze said slowly.

This is the first time that Li Ze has expressed his worries about the future in front of everyone, and it has also made several people in the room stunned. The emperor is high, the envoys of each section suppress the Quartet, occasionally some rebellions, but they are also quickly extinguished, on the frontier, those Fanyi have been fighting and stopping for hundreds of years, but they can't threaten the rule of the Tang Dynasty at all, how did they get to Gongzi here, it became such a terrifying scene?

"Now you don't have to believe it, just take my words to heart, and wait quietly, if what I said really happens one day, then people like my father may not be able to protect us, we need to have the strength to protect ourselves. And we are now working hard to prepare for this day. ”

Everyone nodded silently. Li Ze looked at everyone's expressions, Tu Lichun was worried, Tian Bo was fearless, Chen Bing and Chu Sheng were a little dazed, and only one was Shen Congxing, whose face was full of bullying and hope.

"Okay, you don't have to worry too much, these are just my guesses in the end, and I hope I guessed wrong, and then everyone will be happy to be our Monopoly, then next, we have to talk about one thing." Li Ze said with a smile: "I think, tonight, we may welcome a guest here, and such an uninvited guest has always been unwelcome, Tian Bo, let me see the results of the boys." ”

"Is Childe going to die, or is he going to live?" Tian Bo Huoran stood up.

"I'm still useful to this person, I can't die or be disabled, but it's okay to make him suffer a little." Li Ze said with a smile.

"Understood." Tian Bo nodded, turned around and limped out. Shen Congxing stood up, bowed down and said, "Childe, I'll go and take a hand."

"Go ahead!"
