Chapter 34: A Group of Men in Black
When Cheng Lei and the others all jumped out of the car in new regular uniforms, all the people were boiling. These people are like those Qiu Ba who are sloppy and sloppy all day long! With such a neat team, the standard military posture is simply shocking in the eyes of the common people.
The girls in the crowd were also excited, these young men were so heroic, what girl could not be moved?
After most of the people got out of the car, Cheng Lei ordered two people to be left in the car in case there was any emergency. Then he led the rest of the Night Lion team towards the gate of the Silver Tower. At this moment, there was a riot at the gate of the Silver Tower, Cheng Lei was almost startled by the riot, could it be that someone attacked it?
After looking at it again, they were relieved, and it turned out that Duke Dozan had personally come out to greet them. Except for the young master of the Xingjiamen in Dongcheng who came to attend the celebration ceremony on behalf of his father, and the Duke of Duozan personally came out to greet him, the rest of the people were greeted by Du Mo, who had already given a lot of face, after all, Du Mo was now the nominal second leader of Yinta City, the head of city affairs.
Now Cheng Lei's arrival can be greeted by Duke Duozan in person, which shows that in Duke Duozan's heart, Cheng Lei and they can be on an equal footing with Xingjiamen. This news is enough to make all the forces in Silver Tower City feel shocked, what is the origin of this mercenary guard, and it is a little unbelievable that they can be so valued by Duke Dozan!
"Your Excellency, how can I ask you to come and greet me personally, doesn't it make me feel uneasy?" Cheng Lei walked in front of Duke Duozan and said with some disgust.
Duke Duozan was full of smiles, he knew that Cheng Lei's expression was made for others to see. Although they have not really reached the most in-depth cooperation agreement between them, the mutual support they have made in the past few days also give them a great tacit understanding, and others certainly cannot compare with them.
"Mr. Cheng, you are the biggest contributor to the suppression of the rebellion in Yinta, not only me, but everyone in Yinta City should welcome you!"
Cheng Lei hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Excellency the Duke is serious, the army of the Xilin brothers and sisters is the main force, and I am just doing some auxiliary work." I don't dare to accept the name of your greatest hero, and I'm afraid that Miss Xiling's violent temper will come to me to make trouble! ”
"Hahaha......" Duke Duozan looked very happy, and laughed heartily: "After all, Mr. Cheng, you led your guards and our army in Yinta City to fight side by side to the end, defeating the rebels, and we can have a good life in Yinta City in the future." It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the greatest hero! Mr. Cheng, please. ”
"Then you're welcome!" After speaking, Cheng Lei walked towards the hall, and after entering the hall, Cheng Lei found that there were already many well-dressed people standing behind Duke Duozan, saluting and greeting him, and Cheng Lei also saluted them one by one.
"These people must be those wealthy gentry in the north and west cities, as well as the gang leaders in the south city." Cheng Lei thought silently in his heart.
Cheng Lei and Duke Duozan walked side by side to the banquet hall, Zheng Bin and Shao Qian followed closely behind them. There were dozens of banquet tables in the banquet hall, and all the people were standing on both sides of the banquet waiting for them. There was only one man sitting in the center of the feast, drinking tea as if no one was around.
This man was in his twenties, dressed in a white dress, and did not look half-Chinese and half-Western like the Duke of Dozan, but was completely like the ordinary people on the street, and he looked like an Oriental.
This person has a slender figure, fair and smooth skin, and a pair of feminine Danfeng eyes revealing a fine light. In Cheng Lei's previous world, if this guy can enter the showbiz, he will inevitably become a "little fresh meat" loved by thousands of girls. When the time comes, make movies, make singles, shoot commercials or something, and make hundreds of millions of dollars in minutes!
It's a pity that there aren't so many brain-dead fans here, and this little fresh meat can't become a girl idol. Cheng Lei felt sorry in his heart, it was a waste of resources, this handsome guy.
"Mr. Cheng, please take a seat, all the guests, please take a seat, and we will start the banquet immediately." Duke Duozan beckoned Cheng Lei to take a seat, and he also sat down next to Cheng Lei.
Cheng Lei quietly asked Duke Duozan: "Your Excellency Duke, is the one sitting on the throne your son?" ”
Duke Duozan almost squirted out the sip of tea he had just drunk, but fortunately his concentration was well trained, so he swallowed it and held back: "Cheng ...... Mr. Cheng, don't make such a joke, I can't stand you making such a big joke with me. ”
Cheng Lei said strangely: "It's not your son, why did he sit on the main seat?" ”
Duke Dozan whispered, "If he were my son, would he dare to sit on the throne?" I beat him up so much that I didn't even recognize him! That one is the young master of the Xing family in Dongcheng, Xing Junjie! ”
"It's a good name, but it's blind. How can you say that Duke Duozan is also the master of this Silver Tower City, even if you don't talk about this, how can you have to talk to his father at the same time as you are, right? But behold this boy is sitting on the Lord's seat as if it were your son! ”
Duke Dozan said: "Mr. Cheng, don't talk nonsense, I don't have such a son!" I don't dare to ask for it for nothing! ”
Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Do you want us to discipline Xing Chenghui for him, an unsuccessful son?" ”
"Don't, Mr. Cheng, today is a good day for our Silver Tower City, you must not do anything impulsive, otherwise it will not be good for us!"
"Can we just put up with it?"
"Well, what else can it be? Their Cheng family relies on their wealth and relationship with the nobles of the Western Empire, so they don't take me seriously, my heart is like a mirror! Sooner or later, I will make them regret it, for hundreds of years, although the Xing family has lost control of Yinta City, it has been prosperous for a long time, this is the most feared place for them. Duke Dozan said with a sigh.
Cheng Lei asked: "Then there is really no way to deal with them?" Didn't you say that they only had two or three hundred disciples, and you are still afraid that they will not succeed, Your Excellency? ”
"They only have two or three hundred disciples on the surface, but who knows their true strength? I once heard people say in the Federal Council that after hundreds of years of accumulation, especially the exploitation of oil mines in the last ten years, the wealth of the Xing family is unimaginable to you and me, and it is probably more than enough to buy the entire Silver Tower City. You say, with the current strength of Silver Tower City, do I dare to turn my face against them? Duke Dozan said helplessly.
At this time, the maids had already begun to serve the food, and Duke Duozan frequently persuaded the guests to drink, of course, the guests also came to toast Duke Duozan, and they all brought Cheng Lei with them. Judging from the closeness between Duke Duozan and Cheng Lei and the importance that Duke Duozan attaches to Cheng Lei, befriending Cheng Lei is simply beneficial and harmless.
"Hey, Duke Dozan, what are you two talking about, tell me and I'll listen to it, so I can talk back to my father when the time comes!" Cheng Lei didn't provoke this Xing Junjie, but this kid came to provoke them instead.
Their banquet table was the main table in the banquet hall, and in addition to the three of them, there were also the patriarchs of several major gentry families in Beicheng, half of the big owners of the ten major households in Xicheng, and the bosses of the three major gangs in Nancheng.
After these people heard the words of this young master of the Xing family, their hearts suddenly jumped, this little guy was too much, and he actually shouted "Hey, hey" to Duke Duozan, isn't this obviously not taking Duke Duozan, the ruler of Yinta City, in his eyes?
A hint of displeasure flashed on Duke Duozan's face, but he immediately covered it up with a smile and said with a smile: "Master Xing, the two of us are here to whisper, I'm afraid we don't need to report the content to you!" ”
Xing Junjie was bored, so he said: "If it's inconvenient, don't say it, I'm not uncommon to hear it!" Although he was hit by a soft nail from the Duke of Dozan, he didn't care, and ate and drank there.
At this time, dozens of people dressed in black and wearing black hats suddenly rushed into the banquet hall, and each of them had at least two pistols at their waists and two in their hands. Most of the people in the banquet hall were so shocked by this scene that they couldn't move, and Duke Duozan and Cheng Lei all stood up.
At this time, Xilin and people also rushed in from the outside, and these black-clothed people became a confrontation, Xilin They didn't know what these people were, so they didn't dare to shoot rashly. They were even more afraid that if there was a fight, it would hurt these powerful and powerful people in the banquet hall, and no one would be able to eat and walk around at that time.
At this time, a hearty laugh came, and a fat man with a stout figure and a mediocre appearance said, "Hahaha...... Your Excellency, my brother, I have come to congratulate you, is this your hospitality? ”
Cheng Lei found at this time that since those black-clothed people rushed in, the most unnatural thing in the banquet hall was actually the master of Xing Shaomen. He was already a little slumped in his chair, not daring to move, and the two servants who had been waiting for him on the side couldn't pull him up.
Duke Duozan also laughed at this time: "Haha, it's Brother Xing, I thought that my nephew would already give me a big face, but I didn't expect Brother Xing to come in person, it's really brilliant!" ”
Cheng Lei only then realized that the person who came was Xing Chenghui, the owner of the Xing family! No wonder the powerful young master was so frightened that his legs were weak, I'm afraid his father didn't teach him a lesson when he was at home. This time, I wanted to come out and make a fortune, but I didn't expect my father to chase after him again, which scared him like this.
Xing Chenghui is probably also worried that he, a son with some straw bags, will lose him, and after careful consideration, he resolutely came to the Silver Tower! These are actually Cheng Lei's conjectures, and he himself doesn't know if it's right.
