Chapter Ninety-Two: The Banquet
For Chen Fangshu and them, investigating the situation does not necessarily have to be mysterious, so wouldn't it be clear that there is a ghost in their hearts, which makes people suspicious. When you are new to the city, doing this in someone else's territory is actually no different from looking for death.
Besides, in the eyes of Yun Mengze's water bandits, a few of them have just arrived today, even if they ask casually, what secrets can they find out? If it can be found out so easily, can it still be considered a secret? Therefore, the bandits did not bother to pay attention to them.
While Chen Fangshu and the others were wandering around, Lin Fan and Wang Hu came to a building under the leadership of Zhu Tong.
Lin Fan and the others looked up to observe, this courtyard occupies a lot of land, although it is not magnificent, but on this island, it is much better than the broken grass house they live in.
As soon as the two entered the courtyard, a thin middle-aged man greeted them.
This man has a goatee, stoops over, and is very obscene, and from the outside he looks not much like the fortune tellers who set up stalls on the street to cheat and cheat.
Just from the occasional glimmer of light in the movement of his eyes, it can be seen that this person is by no means as simple as it seems. It is impossible for an ordinary charlatan to achieve such a high position in Yunmengze.
The middle-aged man smiled at the two of them and said: "In Xia Liao Guangpu, Xi is the second leader of Yun Mengze, and he is far away!" Please take a seat for the two of Ssangyongling! ”
"The second leader is gracious! Let the second leader be so expensive, and he deserves to be under it! Wang Hu said rudely.
"Where, a heroic figure like the Thunder Leader, no matter how much hospitality is due, where can it be regarded as a broken fee!" Liao Guangpu said again.
"The second leader praised it falsely, he is just a rough man below, but he can't afford the word hero that the second leader said, ahaha!" Wang Hu laughed loudly.
In Liao Guangpu's view, this Lei Geng is modest on the surface, but in fact, he is still extremely proud of his praise, and he doesn't even bother to hide this pride.
It can be seen that this person is just a reckless man and does not deserve more attention. However, Liao Guangpu is also relieved of this, in case this person's performance just now is all deliberately done for himself, then this person will be extremely terrifying, and he must have an unusual purpose when he came this time.
A few people exchanged a few more pleasantries, said something that didn't hurt or itch, and then sat down.
Liao Guangpu raised his wine glass and stared at the two of them playfully: "I heard that earlier today, my third brother had some unpleasant things with this little brother next to Leader Lei, and this first glass of wine should be regarded as my reparation to the two of them for the third brother." I hope the two adults don't remember the villain and don't worry about him! ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Liao Guangpu lowered his body like this, and Lin Fan and Wang Hu could only hold up their wine glasses.
Wang Hu said: "Where did the second leader say! Today, it was also because Xiao Linzi was too reckless and collided with the three leaders. It's time for us to make amends to you, how dare the two leaders come to intercede! ”
"I also ask the second leader to convey our apologies to the third leader, the adults do not care about the villains, and do not meet us from small places."
"Haha, good! Then let's drink this wine, and the matter will be revealed! Liao Guangpu drank all the wine in the cup, but his thin body and today's heroic posture are put together, and there is always something indescribably funny.
Seeing that Liao Guangpu was so happy, Wang Hu couldn't show weakness, so he could only drink the wine in the cup cleanly, and raised the empty cup in his hand to signal to Liao Guangpu.
However, Lin Fan didn't drink all the wine, just took a sip, and then frowned at the wine glass in his hand and snorted coldly, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Lin Fan couldn't drink this glass of wine so happily, and even when he raised his glass just now, he pretended to make it under the threat of Wang Hu's eyes.
This is because, according to the behavior he shows today, he gives others the impression that he is a young man who is arrogant and difficult to get along with. Although the ability is high, the temper is also big.
If he suddenly becomes a good talker now, this contrast between the front and back will become a reason for suspicion in the eyes of those who are interested.
After all, they are not real bandits, and they are fundamentally different from those who wander in the bandits' dens all day long. Therefore, no matter how well they cover it up, there are always some places that are difficult for them to notice.
It's fine in normal times, no one pays attention to them. But if these bandits really pay attention to them, these nuances in their every move will be magnified, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be recognized, and then this small difference will become their lifeline, so they can't be cautious.
Wang Hu scolded Lin Fan and said, "Xiao Linzi, what are you doing?" Are there any rules? ”
Liao Guangpu stopped him with a smile: "Leader Lei doesn't need to be angry, I think this Xiaolin brother is a man of temperament, and he is still angry about today's events." ”
"According to me, it is appropriate for a person with ability to have a bigger temper. Not to mention anything else, with Little Brother Lin's ability, it is definitely not a thing in the pool, and it is a matter of time before he soars into the sky! Thunder Chief, are you saying I'm right? ”
Lin Fan was silent on the surface, but he was a little surprised in his heart. It seems that this Liao Guangpu's scheming is more than one or two layers deeper than that Huang Xinfeng.
The two sentences just now seem simple, but there are a lot of ways in them.
If Wang Hu was really angry, his magnanimity would naturally make a rugged man like Wang Hu feel even more ashamed, and it would also make him even more indifferent to Lin Fan, causing the two to disagree.
If Wang Hu was pretending to be angry to defend Lin Fan, the greater his ability and temper in his last sentence was undoubtedly a hint that Wang Hu, a young man, was not easy to control, and asked him to be careful of the backlash.
This is equivalent to planting a thorn in Wang Hu's heart, I don't know when I will prick him, after a long time, the two will naturally have a disagreement.
Anyone can say hypocrisy, and it may be so sincere and natural, but not everyone can do it. This kind of mental means cannot be said to be unclever, if it is used on others, maybe it will really be succeeded by him.
But he didn't know that Lin Fan's identities were fake, let alone the real relationship between the two, and he didn't know that his trick of sowing discord not only didn't work, but would make Lin Fan and them more vigilant against him.
Looking at his coy attitude, Wang Hu pretended to be angry, and said angrily: "The second leader doesn't know!" This Xiaolin is good at everything, but he is too young and vigorous, and he likes to do things by his own temperament. But the two masters like him very much and indulge him very much, so sometimes if his temperament comes up, even I can't control him! ”
Liao Guangpu asked the maid behind him to fill Wang Hu's wine glass again, and persuaded: "It is a good thing that young people are young and vigorous, there is nothing wrong with people who have the ability to be arrogant and arrogant, and those who have no ability can only make promises."
"Humph! The second leader doesn't have to worry about him. Let's have a drink! Wang Hu snorted coldly, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he toasted Liao Guangpu.
"Hehehe! That eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables! Liao Guangpu saw that he didn't want to say more, so he stopped and didn't say more.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the scene gradually became hot.
Liao Guangpu and Wang Hu drank happily, and even Lin Fan, who had a cold face, had been poured a few cups by him under their joint efforts.
"It's too small to drink with this bird's cup! Second leader, I wonder if you have a big bowl here? If you have one, bring a few, and then you will be happy. Wang Hu hooked Liao Guangpu's shoulders and asked him with a big tongue.
"Yes, yes! How? Thunder Boss can't drink enough? Under the fumigation of the wine, Liao Guangpu's face was also a little red.
Without waiting for Wang Hu to answer, he said to the subordinates who were waiting on the side: "You guys, didn't you hear that the thunder leader asked for a big bowl?" Go, hurry up and get some big bowls! ”
Soon several pottery bowls were brought up and placed in front of the three of them. Wang Hu snatched the wine jar and poured a bowl for each of them.
After pouring it, he didn't wait for the others, picked up the bowl and drank it all at once.
Wang Hu wiped the remaining wine stains from the corners of his mouth, sighed and said, "Happy, this is called drinking!" Come, come, drink together! ”
In the eyes of Liao Guangpu and other Yun Mengze, Wang Hu's performance showed that he had drunk too much and began to show his true nature.
Sure enough, Wang Hu complained with the strength of wine: "Second leader, you don't know, these recent days have been unbearable to death. I don't know which tendon of the two masters made the mistake, I had to find a bullshit military advisor, and I actually rode on Lao Tzu's head. ”
"If it's just like this, forget it, Lao Tzu endure it, and you can't see it. But this time, the big boss sent me to participate in this Fengtian conference, and it was this military advisor who made it bad, what is at stake, and I can't lose my courtesy, I have to learn what kind of etiquette and crepe etiquette, and if I don't learn it well, I won't let me go down the mountain, and I almost didn't suffocate Lao Tzu to death. You say that Lao Tzu is a fucking thief, what kind of bullshit literati are you pretending to be? ”
Liao Guangpu responded and said: "Leader Lei's true temperament, I admire it!" Come, drink! ”
"Drink!" Wang Hu was dazed and drank another big bowl.
Seeing that Wang Hu's mind was getting less and less sober, although Lin Fan didn't drink much, he was also a little too strong to drink, and he might get drunk on the table at any time.
After Liao Guangpu drank a few more bowls of wine with Wang Hu, he put down the wine bowl in his hand. Suddenly, he said: "Since you are not comfortable in Shuanglong Ridge, why should Leader Lei wronged himself, why don't you go down the mountain to go elsewhere!"
When he said this, he didn't notice that Lin Fan, who was already lying on the table, changed his face slightly, and his originally sloppy eyes flashed with a hint of essence. Immediately, they were covered up by Lin Fan again, and they returned to their appearance just now, knowing that this was Liao Guangpu who began to test them.
And Wang Hu looked even more surprised, as if he had even woken up a little bit.
His hand had already touched the hilt of the knife, and he had a posture of slashing people without saying a word. Said angrily: "Fart! Although Lao Tzu has not read any books, he also knows what loyalty is, the two masters are not thin on Lao Tzu, and they want Lao Tzu to betray the two masters, but there is no door! ”
I didn't expect this Lei Geng to be so loyal to the You brothers, and Liao Guangpu was even more interested.
He continued: "The loyalty of the Thunder Leader is really admirable, but as the saying goes, loyal ministers choose their masters, and good birds choose trees to perch!"
"Shuanglongling is still a little small for Leader Lei and Little Brother Lin, I'm afraid I can't tolerate the two of them to show their strengths, otherwise with the ability of the two, they will never be just a small leader! Didn't the two of them complain? ”
"The two masters have the grace of knowing me, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I am today! I won't betray them no matter what! If the second leader talks nonsense again, Hugh blame is not welcome! Wang Hu got up and was about to leave the table.
"Wait!" Although Wang Hu said firmly, Liao Guangpu still heard a little hesitation from his words.
"Leader Lei don't worry, I lost my words just now, I apologize to the two of you here, I'll punish myself first!"
Liao Guangpu picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in one go, he showed the bottom of the bowl and signaled to Wang Hu: "Boss, I don't mean anything else, and everything is sincere, please forgive me." ”
