Chapter 31: Surrender
January 1, 1228 in the purple cloud calendar.
As the so-called 'New Year's New Atmosphere', on the first day of the new year, many ordinary families in Qingshan Town are also willing to go to the high-cost Yunxuan Restaurant for a meal.
However, this year, when they came to the gate of Yunxuan Restaurant, they found that Yunxuan Restaurant was not open.
On the gate was a piece of paper with a line of writing:
Yunxuan Restaurant has been reorganized for a period of time, and on the first day of the next opening, including wine, the whole audience will be rewarded with a 50% discount.
Signed: Zhou Donghuang.
"Yunxuan Restaurant is closed?"
"It seems to be because of what happened yesterday. ”
"I heard that the chef, the buddies and the maids of Yunxuan Restaurant have all run out...... Only the shopkeeper Ah Fu is left. I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
"Wait for the next opening of Yunxuan Restaurant...... Boss, I'm afraid it's not the Young Master of the Eastern Emperor. ”
......
A group of people gathered outside the gate of Yunxuan Restaurant, after discussing for a while, left one after another and went to other small restaurants.
Yesterday, Zhou Donghuang abolished the young masters of the three top poor families from the county town, which frightened a group of people in Yunxuan Restaurant, and scared them to leave Yunxuan Restaurant one after another, for fear of being affected by Zhou Donghuang.
In the end, there was a huge Yunxuan restaurant, and only the shopkeeper Ah Fu was left.
Therefore, Zhou Donghuang asked Ah Fu to temporarily close Yunxuan Restaurant, because even if it was not closed, there was no way to open it.
The people are gone, there is no manpower, there is no way to open the door to do business.
Of course, not only a group of people in Yunxuan Restaurant left, but also a group of maids and guards who had followed from the Yulan Chamber of Commerce before, all of them left.
It's the same as a group of people in Yunxuan Restaurant.
In the face of the three top poor families in the county town, they also did not have any confidence in Zhou Donghuang, and they were deeply afraid of being implicated and dying in the hands of those three top poor families.
For a while, the entire mansion compound behind Yunxuan Restaurant became a lot deserted.
"It's really a fallen tree. ”
Sitting at the stone table in the front yard, Zhou Donghuang's right index finger and middle finger were bent together, gently tapping on the tabletop, shaking his head and smiling, but he was not unhappy in the slightest, because he could understand those people.
Now, inside and out, in addition to him and his mother, there is only one Granny Lian and one Ah Fu.
"Ah Fu, you should also have cultivated true qi, right?"
Zhou Donghuang looked at Ah Fu who was standing aside respectfully, and asked with a smile.
Ah Fu stayed, which surprised him.
After all, at the moment of life and death, few people would be willing to risk their lives with him.
"Boss, Ah Fu's qualifications are dull, although he has cultivated true qi, he has only cultivated three or two hundred catties of strength. ”
Ah Fu touched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled.
"Is there anyone else in the house?"
Zhou Donghuang asked again.
"Ah Fu is an orphan. ”
The smile on Ah Fu's face gradually subsided, his eyelids drooped, and a look of loss flashed in his eyes at the right time.
"In the future, my mother and I, as well as Granny Lian, will be your relatives. ”
Zhou Dongguang's eyes flashed and he smiled slightly, "Also, you don't need to call me boss in the future, just call me 'young master'." ”
"In addition, in the past two days, you have wasted the true qi in your body, and I will teach you a new exercise, and then give you some qi gathering and dispersion...... Not surprisingly, no matter how poor your qualifications are, you can still enter the gathering force within half a year. ”
Ah Fu stayed, indicating that he was willing to gamble his life on him, and for such a person, Zhou Donghuang naturally would not treat him badly.
It was Granny Lian, and he also planned to pass on a technique to her, and mix some Qi Gathering Powder for her to take.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.
What happened this time made him no longer treat Granny Lian and Ah Fu as outsiders.
"Young master, don't bother. ”
Ah Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In his opinion, there are not a few days to live anyway, so there is no need to toss so much.
"What's the matter? You think I can't deal with those three poor families?"
Zhou Donghuang naturally saw Ah Fu's thoughts, and smiled dumbly, "Ah Fu, you stay...... Just to wait with me to die?"
"Young Master, those three cold families are top cold families, and there are more than a dozen martial arts monks who gather three levels of qi combined. ”
While Ah Fu reminded Zhou Donghuang, the wry smile on his face became more and more intense.
Previously, Emperor Zhou Donghuang abolished the Qi Gathering Dual Martial Arts Monk who claimed to be the person of the Li family in the county town, and he pinched a cold sweat for Zhou Donghuang, fearing that the people of the Li family in the county town would seek revenge.
Now, Emperor Zhou Donghuang has abolished the young masters of the three top cold families in the county town, and he doesn't think that Zhou Dong Huang can withstand the anger of those three top cold families.
He persuaded Zhou Donghuang to leave, but he couldn't.
Therefore, he could only choose to follow Zhou Donghuang and wait for death.
From the moment Zhou Donghuang stood up for him yesterday, he had already given his life to Zhou Donghuang.
"You ......"
Just when Zhou Donghuang wanted to say something, Granny Lian had already walked into the front yard quickly and reported to Zhou Donghuang in a respectful voice: "Young Master, someone outside is looking for you, and he says his name is 'Leng Hanfeng'." ”
"Cold wind?"
In Zhou Donghuang's mind, a black figure appeared, the black-clothed young man with a cold face, the second leader of the Green Wolf Village, 'Cold Cold Wind'.
"Young master, he came on a sweaty BMW, and he shouldn't be an ordinary person. ”
Granny Lian reminded.
"Ah Fu, you go and bring him in. ”
When Zhou Donghuang asked Ah Fu to go out and bring the cold wind in, he said to Granny Lian: "Granny Lian, he is the second master of the Green Wolf Village who escorted me all the way when I went to Ningping Town last time. ”
"Is it him?!"
Granny Lian was taken aback.
She never expected that the serious-looking young man she saw just now would be a horse thief who killed people without blinking.
A moment later, the cold wind, led by Ah Fu, walked into the front yard.
"I've seen the Young Master of the Eastern Emperor. ”
After the cold wind came in, he bowed down and saluted Emperor Zhou Dong respectfully.
"Looking for me?"
Zhou Donghuang asked.
"Originally, I was going to go to Yunxuan Restaurant for dinner, and by the way, I saw you, the young master of the Eastern Emperor...... After I came, I found that Yunxuan Restaurant was closed. ”
Leng Hanfeng said: "What happened yesterday, I also heard it outside just now. ”
"Young Master Donghuang, I came to you mainly to ask you...... Are you still accepting people here?"
Between the words, Leng Hanfeng said the purpose of his coming to Zhou Donghuang, "If you still accept it, I want to leave the Green Wolf Village, follow you, and serve you." ”
"Work for me?"
Zhou Donghuang was stunned at first, and then took a deep look at Leng Hanfeng, "You are the second leader of the Green Wolf Village, and there is a group of people under you who are surrounded by people in front of you, what does it mean to follow me?"
"And you know what I'm going to be now...... You, don't you worry, when the three top people from the humble family come to kill me, they will be angry with you and kill you?"
Zhou Donghuang asked with a smile.
"Young Master Donghuang, in fact, the last time I saw you make a move, I had the idea of following you and serving you...... However, at that time, it was a bit abrupt to tell you that I wanted to follow you and work for you. ”
Leng Hanfeng said: "Today, knowing the situation you are facing, Young Master Donghuang, I know that my opportunity has come. ”
"Although, those three cold families are very strong, even if it is the Young Master of the Eastern Emperor, it is difficult for you to compete with them...... However, I still want to follow you, even if I die in this confrontation with the three major poor families, I have no regrets. ”
Leng Hanfeng said very seriously, and looked at Zhou Donghuang with a firm gaze, fearless.
In a person's life, there are many opportunities for choice.
There are some options, yes, that can lead to a great future.
If you get it wrong, you may not be able to recover.
"If you leave the Green Wolf Village and follow me and serve me, won't it be tantamount to betraying the Green Wolf Village? ”
Zhou Donghuang said lightly: "After all, if you can betray the Green Wolf Village today, you can also betray me tomorrow." ”
"Young Master Donghuang, you have misunderstood. ”
Leng Hanfeng sighed, "Actually, I don't want to be a horse thief. The reason why I stayed in the Green Wolf Village was purely to repay the life-saving grace of the big boss of the Green Wolf Village. ”
"Now, I have repaid all the kindness that should be repaid. I don't want to stay any longer when I have the opportunity to leave the Green Wolf Village. ”
When Leng Hanfeng said these words, Zhou Donghuang was staring at him intently.
The eyes are the windows of the soul, and with Zhou Donghuang's thousands of years of experience, it can naturally be seen that Leng Hanfeng's words are not lying.
"If I'm not mistaken...... You choose to follow me now, in fact, you have another thought, that is, you want to gamble, right?"
Zhou Donghuang's gaze suddenly became deep, and he asked meaningfully.
Zhou Donghuang's deep gaze gave Leng Hanfeng a feeling that there was nothing to hide, and he nodded without any hesitation, "I admit this." ”
"If this time from the catastrophe of the three cold families, Young Master Donghuang, you can't bear it, I will die with you in the cold wind. ”
"And if you can carry it down, Young Master Donghuang...... I believe that you will definitely be able to give me a better future!"
The cold wind said something frankly, without any hypocrisy.
"It's kind of interesting. ”
Zhou Donghuang smiled faintly, "In that case, you go back and clean up, explain the matter, and come to me." ”
Zhou Donghuang's words undoubtedly promised Leng Hanfeng and let Leng Hanfeng stay and serve him.
"Thank you, young master. ”
Leng Hanfeng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, "Tomorrow, I will come to find you, young master." ”
At this time, Leng Hanfeng's title to Zhou Donghuang also changed, from 'Young Master of Donghuang' to 'Young Master'.
After the cold wind left, Granny Lian looked at Zhou Donghuang with some concern, "Young Master, there are no good people among horse thieves...... It's not appropriate to let him follow you, right?"
Just now, when the cold wind was there, Granny Lian was not good at refuting Zhou Donghuang.
Now, the cold wind is gone, and she can't help but remind Zhou Donghuang.
"Granny Lian, you can rest assured about this, I still have some ability to see people. ”
Zhou Donghuang shook his head and smiled, "Moreover, in this situation...... Do you think ordinary people dare to follow me?"
Leng Hanfeng is a frank person, and his human nature is also good, which suits his appetite.
Moreover, it is also the time for him to employ people.
With such a person coming to the door and working for him, even if he goes far away in the future, he can feel more at ease.
Compared with his mother Lin Lan, the plasticity of the cold wind is stronger.
Because, Leng Hanfeng is young, and his talent is higher than his mother.
