Chapter 183: Go to the Dragon to Throw a Desperate Bet
Lin Sheng wanted Chen Mu to recapture the Dragon Record, not for himself, but for Chen Mu, if Chen Mu had the Dragon Mark in his hand, he would be able to compete with Fu Qingyin!
Fu Qingyin's ancestor is Fu Shan, one of the five sages of Dahongmen, and is on an equal footing with Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzi and others, while Chen Mu's ancestor is one of the five sages of Dahongmen, Xuanzong Chen Jinnan's nephew, Chen Shenwu.
If you think about it seriously, Fu Qingyin's family origin is too much behind him, but the Fu family has declined, and the descendants have to change their surname to flee for their lives, and they will be even more idle in the future.
But the Chen family is different, they have always controlled the lifeblood of Dahongmen, although the entire Hongmen is a little sluggish now, but it is still prosperous among the people.
Chen Mu and Fu Qingyin may not be able to fight hard, but they are not without the strength to fight.
But now that Fu Qingyin has taken the lead, he has accepted Hong Shuntang, and the only people who can be used under Chen Mu's hands are Sun Youlin and others, who are really stretched, and fighting with Fu Qingyin is simply a mantis arm as a car.
The power of Long Ji is very great, unlike Hong Shuntang, the people of Long Ji know how to do business, they are the richest society, if they can really win Long Ji, why should Chen Mu worry about big things!
Lin Sheng is the blank paper fan of Long Ji, and as the actual ruler of Long Ji, he has the undoubted right to speak.
Although the son of the former head of the Chamber of Commerce was still fighting, and even tore his face and sent someone to kill Lin Sheng, if Chen Muruo really had the heart, it was not impossible to take the Dragon Record.
Chen Mu also knew in his heart that Lin Sheng was no longer able to continue to manage Long Ji like this, this was the hard work of most of his life, how could he fall into the hands of the stupid son of the former head of the Chamber of Commerce?
However, Chen Mu also felt a little ridiculous.
Because he himself is the son of the previous incense master, Xu Guanxi, and even the older generation of managers such as Yu Jianhe, are opposed to him taking over Hong Shuntang.
Lin Sheng is the older generation of Long Ji, not only opposing the succession of his predecessor's son, but also controlling Long Ji, for Chen Mu, the son of the former head of the Chamber of Commerce, has the same situation as him.
However, for the same thing, Chen Mu is now going to take away his Dragon Record, which makes Chen Mu feel a little ridiculous, as if it was the perverseness of fate that made him make such a decision.
Of course, Chen Mu has also heard Lin Sheng tell it, and there is also an inside story, the son of the former head of the Chamber of Commerce, although his situation is similar to Chen Mu, but his life is two extremes.
The son of the head of the chamber of commerce is named Yin Lizhang, and he is an out-and-out second ancestor, who bullies people and harms innocents in Pingsuri, which is notorious, and people give him the nickname "Yin Evil Barrier".
And Yin Lizhang is a very ambitious person, on the one hand, he befriended foreigners, and on the other hand, he secretly communicated with the remnants of the Twist Army, often doing some murderous things, and his hands were all murderous thugs, who did everything.
With this level of understanding, Chen Mucai had no psychological burden, and was determined to accept Lin Sheng's suggestion and take the dragon in his hands!
He also considered that he was not without a relationship with Long Ji, and he was not "unknown".
Longji also originated from Hongmen, and Hongshuntang is inextricably implicated, not to mention, Longji worships "Yin Hongsheng", "Chen Yonghua" and "Fang Dahong", the three ancestors, and the worship has a great relationship with Hongmen.
This Yin family claims to be the descendants of Yin Hongsheng, the ancestor of Hongmen, and has only controlled the Dragon Ji over the years, but gradually some people find out that if you trace the genealogy, this Yin family is not the descendants of the ancestor at all, and this secret almost caused the Dragon Ji to be destroyed.
It is also thanks to Lin Sheng, Li Sanjiang and others in their youth who worked together to suppress this matter, and it is precisely because of this that Lin Sheng and Li Sanjiang have become the two most critical older generation figures in Longji.
As for this Li Sanjiang, he used to be a triad person, that is to say, he has a deeper relationship than the rest of Longji, he is an old man of the "Dao" generation, also called Li Daoyuan, and Lin Sheng is called "Lin Daozhen".
If you want to capture Dragon Ji, you must have the support of Li Sanjiang, but Li Sanjiang is inclined to Yin Lizhang to a certain extent.
Although Yin Lizhang was vicious and brutal, he had an anti-Qing attitude, while Li Sanjiang came out of the triad and was a real anti-Qing figure.
Today, Lin Sheng was going to take Chen Mu to see Li Sanjiang, so Chen Mu was also in good spirits.
Because he was going to the main hall of Longji, Yin Lizhang had already torn his face, and if Lin Sheng showed up, the danger was undoubted, so Chen Mu summoned Lu Shengwu and the others together.
In this place of the tiger's lair and Longtan, even if everyone goes together, they dare not guarantee safety, and Chen Mu also discussed countermeasures with Lu Shengwu and others in advance.
In order to hide from others, you have to wait until dark to set off, so there is still plenty of time to discuss and plan.
At night, Chen Mu pushed Lin Sheng to the living room, and the latter frowned when he saw that everyone was fully armed, instead of rejoicing.
"You ...... Don't do that...... Don't do it......"
"I'm afraid that none of us are enough......" Sun Youlin responded with some embarrassment, but Lin Sheng shook his head resolutely: "No...... You guys...... Don't go ......."
"We're not going?" Sun Youlin cast a glance at Lu Shengwu, who glanced at each other with Luo Jianhe, and seemed to have some understanding of Lin Sheng's persistence.
Luo Jianhe looked at Chen Mu: "Young master, what do you think?" ”
Chen Mu looked at Lin Sheng, who insisted on his own views and was a little stubborn like a child, fell into deep thought, and after a while, he also nodded and said, "Okay, if you don't go, I'll just go with Qi Ye." ”
"How can this work? Where is the land of tigers and wolves! Sun Youlin also looked worried.
Lu Shengwu stopped him: "Since they want to go by themselves, then they will go by themselves, since Lin Sanye insists, he must have his reasons." ”
"He's stupid in the head, can the truth work?" Sun Youlin muttered in a low voice, but immediately realized that he was disrespectful to Lin Sheng and Chen Mu, so he shut up.
Luo Jianhe didn't blame Sun Youlin, but just said to Chen Mu: "It's dark, it's hard to walk at night, be my carriage." ”
Chen Mu nodded, and everyone went out, Chen Mu carried Lin Sheng to the car, Deng Zhenhai became the coachman, and pulled the two out of the grange.
Looking at the lantern that blended into the night and gradually turned into a firefly-like light, Luo Jianhe and Lu Sheng glanced at each other, and said to Sun Youlin and the others, who were disappointed and worried: "Let's follow suit." ”
Sun Youlin was overjoyed, he thought that these two bigwigs would follow Lin Sheng and be confused, but it turned out that they still had a backhand to prepare.
Chen Mu didn't know about this, and sat in the car with Lin Sheng, listening to Lin Sheng intermittently talk about the matter of Long Ji.
Long Kee's business in the Lingnan area is very big, as long as it can make money, it will do anything, so the influence of Long Ji cannot be ignored, even the government does not dare to bully Long Ji too much.
If Lin Sheng talks too much, he will drool, and it will be very difficult, so he didn't talk much, and he went to the county seat.
Although Chen Mu and other criminals are being hunted down, the curfew has been lifted in the county seat, because foreigners can now settle in the county seat in a bright light, and there are constantly patrols at night.
However, Lin Sheng has lived in the county all his life, and he has a way to avoid these checkpoints, and enters from the shantytown in the west of the city.
The horse-drawn carriage was crushed over the sewage-ridden streets, potholes, and bumps, but it avoided the checkpoint.
Out of the area where the fish stalls were sold, and the wild alleys where they walked, they were all secluded and uninhabited, and they didn't even hear a few dogs barking, and the lights finally gradually appeared in front of them.
This is the warehouse of Long Ji, the warehouse is lined up, the lights are bright, many black and strong men are sweating like rain loading and unloading goods, as if there has never been a night here, day and night are working, never stopping.
When the carriage reached the barn and the front of the gatehouse, it could not enter, because in front of the barn there were "horses rejected" and a fence.
Although it is not really a "rejection of horses", it also gives people a feeling of being heavily guarded, after all, this is a warehouse, and it is reasonable to guard it strictly.
"You stay outside."
Chen Mu said to Deng Zhenhai Branch, then carried Lin Sheng on his back and walked to the gatehouse step by step.
Under the light not far away, the shadows of the two did not drag on for a long time, and they were also very dim, and they let the night be engulfed in a few steps, but from Deng Zhenhai's point of view, it was exciting and exciting.
When the porter saw someone coming, he also asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" ”
Although it was dark night, Chen Mu and Lin Sheng were both wearing hoods and did not show their heads, Chen Mu had no choice but to tear off the hood and say to the gatehouse: "I am Chen Mu, and I am ...... with Qi Ye."
Chen Mu wanted to report Lin Sheng's name, but who knew that the person didn't even open the door, let alone speak, just ran back with a smoke, and within a moment, a group of people poured out!
Chen Mu came with a double knife, although he said that he was a great retreat, but in fact, he had no confidence at all, no matter what skills these people had, there were too many of them, Lin Sheng even had a problem standing up, he wanted seven in and seven out, it was unlikely.
But Chen Mu believes in Lin Sheng's judgment and decision, if this Qi Ye said that he didn't need to bring someone here, then he didn't need to bring someone here, after all, he was a white paper fan of Long Ji, a general figure of military advisors!
"Enter...... Go ......" Lin Sheng lay on Chen Mu's back, pressing on his abdomen, and it was even more difficult to speak.
Although there were dozens of people in front of him, either carrying iron-headed sticks or hidden sharp blades, one by one, Chen Mu could only grit his teeth, carry Qi Ye on his back, and take a step forward.
In just two months, Lin Sheng has already lost weight to a handful of bones, but it is not very heavy, light and fluttery, enough for Chen Mu to free up one hand to catch the knife.
But the more this is the case, the more careful Chen Mu becomes, as if if with a little more force, Qi Ye's bones will be broken.
When he arrived at the front of the crowd, Chen Mu raised his head and glanced around.
Although these people have fierce eyes and unkind faces, most of them only have empty strength, and they do not perceive the more powerful or dangerous characters among them.
Chen Mu looked at the person blocking the road in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother, borrow it." ”
The man was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand, and Chen Mu had no choice but to change his tone: "Get out of the way." ”
"Tired? Hahaha! ”
"This white-faced little ghost actually said that he was tired!"
"Hahaha!"
"His bounty is enough to buy a house, and he crashes on the door, and the brothers will not let him let him go!"
"Hahaha!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Chen Mu was also a little distressed, and turned his head away, wanting Lin Sheng to reveal his identity.
Lin Sheng is the number one person in Long Ji, if he shows his face, how dare these people be presumptuous!
However, Lin Sheng lowered his voice in his ear and said, "This time...... It's you...... Come on, no...... Not me...... Depend on...... On your own! ”
This was the first time that Lin Sheng had accentuated his tone, and Chen Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and asked Lin Sheng: "Qi Ye, how can you rely on yourself?" ”
The low hood covered Lin Sheng's old and pale face, but his voice, hoarse and slow, shook Chen Mu's whole body.
"Kill...... Kill...... Kill a ......"
