After the conference, Brother Zhang was called to a closed-door meeting, and before leaving, he took out a magnetic card from his pocket and handed it to Shao Hu, saying, "I have something to do, you go out for some supper first, and I'll go to you later." ”

Shao Hu walked out of the hall with the flow of people, through the north wing, outside is a heavenly street, more than ten miles from north to south, there are many shops, the flow of customers is like a tide, it is really prosperous.

The smell of food wafts through the streets, and people come and go. Shao Hu picked one and sat down, and the store first sent a bottle of wine and a few side dishes, all of which Shao Hu had never seen and eaten.

From where Shao Hu was, he could see the lights under the mountain, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: a few hours ago, he was still in that city in a daze, drunk and dreaming of death, and now he is sitting on the snowy mountain, as if he has been reborn, it is really an earth, a sky!

Shao Hu opened his arms and was pouring himself a drink, when he suddenly heard someone whispering in the private room next door, and one person said, "Are you sure it's them?" Another said, "Pretty sure." I've been following him all night, and here he must be to rendezvous with the Black Butterfly. Just now, he said: "Black Butterfly is very cunning, and she can fly off the wall, relying on the three of us alone, I'm afraid I can't hold her, so call some brothers over?" ”

"Yes, call some more helpers to lay an ambush outside." The second speaker chimed in, as if asking for the opinion of the leader in the room.

Sure enough, the leader spoke: "You know exactly what Black Butterfly and that kid are doing here. Our brothers must stay where they are, and they can't go there! Even if something happens outside, you can't leave half a step! Just let us deal with the two of them. It's good that they can't find that place, and if they do, they'll be caught in the net! ”

"Yes, yes!" The first two people obeyed. Next is the sound of eating and drinking.

Shao Hu drank wine and thought about it, got up and went to the bathroom, and when he passed by the single room, he swept it with the corner of his eye, and saw three men in white sitting inside, one of whom had a long beard, presumably their leader.

After entering the bathroom, Shao Hu casually washed his face and hands, and walked back to his seat while wiping it with a tissue.

But Shao Hu deliberately pretended to forget his seat, walked to the end of the restaurant, and then turned back and sat down - so that he found that at the end of the restaurant, there was a young man in civilian clothes sitting in the seat against the window.

Shao Hu was thinking about whether to tell Brother Zhang about this unexpected situation.

At that moment, the young man left the private room, settled the bill, and walked out into the street. The three men in the back also got up and chased after them.

Shao Hu saw this situation, took out his card and swiped the account, and caught up to bite it.

Out of the hotel, Shao Hu looked up, and the three of them had already walked to the end of the street and turned into an alley going up the mountain. Shao Hu quickened his pace, walked through the crowd, and also turned into this alley.

As soon as I entered the alley, the surroundings were quiet, and there were only five people walking in front of and behind, at intervals.

The hill is a pine forest, and a stone staircase creeps up.

The three of them chased here, and the man at the head stretched out his hand to block the two people behind him, saying, "The terrain here is dangerous, I don't know where that person is buried." He is in darkness and we are in the light, and it is very bad for us. ”

One said: "Don't worry, captain, as long as the three of us are watching and listening, why be afraid of him alone!" The other said yes in unison. So the three men took out their matching guns, stood back to back, stood in a triangle, and slowly walked towards the pine forest.

In front is an open space with a stone pillar lamp in the middle.

The three of them came here and circled around the stone pillar lamp. Suddenly, a spark stabbed obliquely from above on the pillar lamp, and it was an oil bomb. When he landed, the entire stone pillar burst into flames. Immediately afterwards, a man jumped from the pine tree, the same young man he had met in the hotel, he held a fire knife in his hand, and swung it at one of them, and a flash of fire flew quickly.

Seeing that something was wrong, the man rolled on the spot, and the flame slammed into the stone pillar with a snort, and it burst into flames again.

Seeing this, the other two men shot at the young man with guns.

The young man danced his sword like a wheel of fire, sweeping the bullets to the ground one by one.

The three of them gathered together again, firing all their might. The young man hid behind the stone pillar lamp, and with a wave of his hand, a raging fire struck at the three of them. The three people who had just gathered together dispersed again.

The fire didn't hit anyone, but it broke a pine tree behind it, and the treetops fell.

The young man was quick-eyed, and he protected himself with a sword, and he strode up in front of a lone man, and with his sword fell, he cut the man's spear in half, and then folded his hand, and struck the man on the head with the handle of the knife. The man couldn't resist and fell to the ground with a bang.

When they looked for them again, they had already taken refuge in the pine forest.

Shao Hu, who was hiding behind a boulder, could see it clearly. He picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and hesitated, just then the phone in his back pocket vibrate. When I took it out, it was Brother Zhang who called.

Shao Hu quietly retreated down the mountain, answered the phone, and only heard Brother Zhang ask, "Where are you?" Shao Hu said, "Take a walk." Brother Zhang said, "Go back to the main hall, I have something to say to you." ”

Shao Hu returned to the front of the main hall, found a stone bench and just sat down, when he saw a military vehicle driving over.

The window of the car rolled down, and it was Brother Zhang sitting inside, waving to him. Shao Hu walked over and got into the car.

"Aaron, send my brother home first." Old Brother Zhang instructed the driver, then turned around and shook his left hand in front of Shao Hu's eyes. Shao Hu saw that Brother Zhang was wearing a gold ring on his ring finger, with the word "long" engraved on it, so he asked, "What is this?" ”

Old Brother Zhang smiled and said, "Guess? ”

"They invited you to join the 'Council of Elders'?"

Brother Zhang nodded, wiped the ring and wiped it, and kissed it.

Shao Hu stopped talking and turned his face to look at the scenery outside the window.

When he arrived at home, Brother Zhang took a bottle of wine and two glasses, and asked Shao Hu to sit down on the balcony and drink. lit another cigarette and said to Shao Hu triumphantly: "How do you feel when you come to Daxue Mountain today?" ”

Shao Hu shook his head and said, "I think I died ten years ago. ”

Old Brother Zhang laughed and said, "I am now transferred to the mountain, and there are many important things to do. If you want to stay here, be my deputy. ”

Shao Hu shrugged his shoulders and said, "What can I do?" ”

"It's too much."

"Is there anything going to happen next?"

Old Brother Zhang didn't answer directly, smiled and said, "Think about it." Think about it, go up the mountain and find me tomorrow. After speaking, he stood up, patted Shao Hu's shoulder, opened the door and left.

Shao Hu took a sip of his wine glass, and looked at Old Brother Zhang's military vehicle along the crooked road towards the palace on the mountain.
