Chapter Forty-Eight: The Strong Master and the Dwarf Master
"It's a matter of perception. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Wenqiang interrupted at the right time and said with a gentle smile: "You don't care what others think, you can't look down on yourself." In my eyes, only cute is not cute, but it doesn't matter if she is a Chinese or a foreigner. Besides, mixed-race girls are the most beautiful, and when you grow up, you will definitely be able to blind many people's eyes. ”
Lily blinked, alternating between joy and gloom, and she lowered her head and gently plucked the wontons in the bowl with a small spoon.
"Don't think too much, your Uncle Zhu will be fine, now, you still have me, Uncle Chen!" Chen Wenqiang touched her head and comforted: "In the future, I will settle down and stop running around." As for making money to eat, I will discuss it with your Uncle Zhu, and you don't have to worry about it as a child. ”
Lily nodded slightly, moved quickly, and continued to eat and drink.
Chen Wenqiang took out his pocket watch and looked at it, got up and made a gesture to Zhao Dayi, and the teahouse began to close the door. Soon, the entire second floor was empty, leaving only Chen Wenqiang, Zhao Dayi, and Lili. But there are still hidden people in the teahouse, but there is murder in the coldness.
"Eat slowly, just sit here and wait for a while when you're full." After Chen Wenqiang finished speaking gently, he turned around and walked to the other side of the teahouse, found a table and sat down, and drank tea and chatted with Zhao Dayi.
"Will it come?" Zhao Dayi was skeptical, "It's not for us, so let's wait in vain, right?" ”
"I think most of them will come." Chen Wenqiang groaned and said: "His state is a little strange, neither like the hardcore of Heyitang, nor like he wants to be a mortal enemy with us. Maybe we can talk about it and get to know each other's goals. ”
"Where's the house on Polar Field?" Zhao Dayi asked: "Do you want to recruit people and kill them to see what is going on?" ”
Chen Wenqiang shook his head and vetoed: "Don't be reckless, let's see if you can detect anything first, and then decide how to act." ”
Zhao Dayi was silent, knowing the strength of Xinglongtang, he felt that no one could stop him. But Chen Wenqiang spoke, and he must listen. I was a little reluctant in my heart, so I had to fiddle with Xingyitang's recent **.
In fact, despite this, the consequences of blind action are severe. The blow to the sale of tobacco and soil is not only the loss of the interests of a few local businessmen, but the entire industrial chain from top to bottom. Therefore, once the true face of the Seven Killings is exposed and linked to Xingyitang, it will be retaliated against by the concession authorities and the underworld forces.
There was a voice downstairs, Chen Wenqiang and Zhao Dayi stopped talking, and they both looked at the stairs.
First the guy, then a broken straw hat, the middle-aged fat man was also disguised, but his face was dirty, his clothes were shabby, like an old peasant in the countryside. And there was another one behind him, a thin figure, hidden behind the fat man, almost completely blocked, and when he reached the upper floor, he saw that he was a beggar.
"Hehe, hello Brother Chen, Brother Xu Zhuangshi is late, please Duoduo Haihan." The fat man smiled heartily, stretched out his finger and pointed at the thin man, and introduced, "My brother, Xu Dwarf." ”
The thin man hurriedly arched his hand, which was regarded as a salute, and his eyes looked up and down, looking at Chen Wenqiang.
One is fat, the other is thin, and the name is apt. Chen Wenqiang returned the salute with a smile and said, "If you come, you are a guest, thank you two for giving my brother this face." You may be seated, you may be seated. With that, he asked the man to lead Lily underneath.
Upstairs quieted, Chen Wenqiang and Zhao Dayi sat on one side, and the Xu brothers sat on one side, and no one spoke first until the guy served tea.
"Good knives." Xu Zhuangshi looked at the ** that Zhao Dayi had just pinned to his waist, and praised: "Lightheaded, wide in front and narrow in the back, thick back and thin blade, the power is concentrated in front when chopping, well, it's about the same as an axe." ”
"Sure enough, it's a connoisseur, in a word." Chen Wenqiang nodded with a smile and said, "This knife is called **, also known as **, which is very suitable for hand-to-hand combat and slashing, or marching in the jungle to open the way." ”
"Gurkha? Foreign places? Master Xu Zhuang asked suspiciously.
"Nepal is a hard-working, valiant and warlike people, often forming mercenary regiments to recruit and fight, disciplined and very loyal to their employers. This knife was a symbol of honor for the Gurkha soldiers, who were also known as scimitar warriors. Chen Wenqiang explained.
"Scimitar warriors? I'm afraid it's just bravery, skill-" Xu Zhuangshi shook his head, a little disdainful of this.
"I can't compare to the two of them." While Chen Wenqiang was talking, he also concentrated on probing the other party, there was not much information, and he didn't want the other party to be too vigilant, so he followed the information that had been spied out clearly, "The two are the guest secretaries invited by Heyitang?" ”
"Sort of!" It was always Master Xu Zhuang who was talking, but Master Xu sat up straight, looking at Chen Wenqiang, and occasionally looking at Zhao Dayi.
"Are those two friends or foes with our Xingyi Hall?" Chen Wenqiang's words are more straightforward.
"It's hard to say." Xu Zhuangshi smiled meaningfully, "Brother, I have studied for a few years, and I once had great ambitions but ended up with nothing; also wandered in the rivers and lakes, but in the end he returned to the countryside in despair. You are not bad, the brothers love to hatch the teahouse, and they can eliminate everything lightly after pot. No joy and no worries, no fighting, let him collapse and tsunami, have a pot of tea to drink, and think about nothing. If it weren't for the fact that it was really difficult in the country, our brothers would not have come out to wade into this troubled water. ”
Well, that's more obvious. I wanted to escape from the world, but I couldn't escape the word money, or to eat and drink.
"Collect your wallet and be a man?" Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly and confirmed again.
"That's not quite true." Xu Zhuangshi took a sip of tea and nodded approvingly, "Good tea." We can kill people for money, and we can do other things for money. ”
"Is there a limit?" Chen Wenqiang's smile slowly retracted, and his voice became low.
"Yes." Xu Zhuangshi stretched out two fingers, "Women and children will not be killed, and good men will not be killed." ”
"What is a good man?" Chen Wenqiang continued to ask.
"Bright and fair, chivalrous. Or dare to argue with foreigners, and do not fall into my Han temperament. Xu Zhuangshi stretched out his right hand to Chen Wenqiang, and slowly rolled down his sleeve, revealing the shocking scar on his arm, which seemed to be burned, his skin and flesh were charred and black, dry and shriveled, "This is what Gengzi Nian's foreign devil left for his brother, and he almost wasted this hand." ”
Chen Wenqiang thought for a moment and said, "So you changed your left-handed knife." ”
"Not bad." Xu Zhuangshi put down his right hand and stared at Chen Wenqiang with burning eyes, "If the Seven Kills are good men, my brother will immediately withdraw from this troubled water." I don't know what Brother Chen said? ”
