Chapter 11: Old Acquaintances

————————————————————————————————————

The long-distance bus kept driving all the way, and the tour guide on the bus kept saying that except for a few minutes in the rest area on the highway if necessary, most of our time was spent on the road, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the Shennongjia tourist attraction.

The bus dropped us off at a hotel and left, and the afternoon was all free and easy, and the official attraction arrangement of the tour operator started tomorrow. I found He Xiaochen's tour guide and told her that we would not be traveling with the group tomorrow, and the tour guide asked us to sign a document and let us go.

The hotel arranged by the travel agency is quite distinctive, and the style of the building is quite quaint, which probably should also be in line with the quaint feeling of the Shennongjia area.

After a long journey, many travelers arrived at the hotel and put their luggage in front of the hotel to grab a bite to eat, and the three of us were no exception.

The tavern is also an old-fashioned building, and since this is not the time for dinner, there are no other people in the restaurant except for a few travelers who are accompanying us.

I ordered two plates of light stir-fried dishes, and listened to Gao Peng's rambling nonsense while eating.

After eating for a while, suddenly a waiter in the store walked up to our table and asked, "Two gentlemen, excuse me, may I ask, which of the two of you is named Fan Peixi?" ”

Gao Peng and I were stunned.

"I'm just, what's the matter?" I asked.

The waiter smiled: "Ah, you are Mr. Fan Peixi." There's a gentleman looking for you upstairs in our store and asking you to sit down. ”

"Looking for me?" As soon as I raised my eyebrows, I said in my heart, is it Ryazan? Then he asked, "Do you know what that person's name is?" ”

The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "He didn't say this, he just said that he had met you before, and no matter what, he hoped that you would go upstairs and sit down." ”

I looked at Gao Peng, and Gao Peng also looked at me and said, "What do you think?" Let's go up! ”

I hesitated: "I don't know who is upstairs in the road, and whether there will be any danger in rushing up like this." ”

"Hey!" Gao Peng waved his hand and said, "You're too bold." What are you afraid of, I estimate that Bacheng is the Ryazan, besides him, who else will know that we are here? Besides, even if you meet some bad guys, there are so many people here, is it possible that he can still do something to you? Don't be afraid, my brother will accompany you through this experience. ”

After speaking, Gao Peng got up and was about to go upstairs. The waiter hurriedly stopped him and said to me, "Mr. Fan, the gentleman upstairs asked you to go up by yourself." ”

"Go, go!" Gao Peng said impatiently: "Where did so many rules come from, does he want to see my eldest brother or my eldest brother wants to see him, do you understand?" Either you let the master upstairs come down, or let me go up with my boss, and you can go and pass on the word. ”

"Wait." I stopped Gao Peng and said, "I'd better go up by myself." ”

Gao Peng was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Boss, are you sure you can go up by yourself?" ”

"Don't worry, it's fine." I said.

I said in my heart that what Gao Peng said was extremely true, no matter whether the person upstairs was Ryazan or not, and whether he was friend or foe, all in all, in such broad daylight, that person would not do anything out of the ordinary no matter what. What's more, I estimate that the only person who can find me is Ryazan.

So, I followed the waiter's footsteps and walked up the wooden steps to a private room on the second floor. There was no door in the private room, only a bamboo curtain, and the waiter opened it for me, and then said very politely: "That gentleman is inside, please." ”

I said yes to him and walked into the private room with my head bowed.

There was a lacquered wood table of eight immortals in the private room, and there were a few small chairs around it, but there were no people sitting on it, and there were no good dishes on the table of eight immortals, but there were two pots of tea and a pot of white wine and a few plates of side dishes.

There was only one person in the room, and he was standing with his back to me, wearing a black coat, standing with his hands behind his back and rushing at me. This person has a well-proportioned and medium build, and at first glance it really feels like a Ryazan from the back.

"Hello, Fan Peixi, we haven't seen each other for a long time." It was a Beijing voice, and I couldn't help but shudder when I heard it.

The voice was so familiar to me, not because of the tone, but because of the calm, controlled tone.

That person slowly turned around, revealing a face with a scar on his lips - that was Qin Ye!

"Is that you?" I was a little surprised, but not very scared, "You're not dead?" ”

Qin Ye glanced at me lightly, did not answer my question, but moved a chair and said to me, "Please sit down, I want to have a good chat with you." ”

Have a good chat? I scolded in my heart, when I was in the Yunnan Underground Palace, you almost killed me, and now let me sit with you and have a good chat? I thought so in my heart, but I said, "What is there to talk about between us?" ”

Qin Ye saw that I didn't sit, so he sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said to me: "I think you have always been obsessed with what happened in the Yunnan Underground Palace, indeed, the experience of our first meeting was not very pleasant, which also caused a lot of misunderstandings between us. ”

"Misunderstanding?" I said, "I don't think there's any misunderstanding between us, you want my life, that's obvious." ”

"Wrong." Qin Ye said, "I, Qin, have never been interested in killing people......

He hadn't finished his sentence, but I had already interrupted him and said, "You have no interest in killing, but that doesn't mean that your men aren't interested in killing, especially me." ”

When I said this, my heart was actually beating a drum. I don't know what kind of person Qin Ye is, but I know that his origin must be not small, first, the scar on his face is enough to show that he has done some errands on the blade before, and second, I have seen him have a gun in his hand in the Yunnan underground palace, which is by no means something that ordinary people can get. I don't know how big the backstage of Qin Ye is in the Dao Dao, but I know very well that I am just a person, and I can only find Ryazan and Bu Jin to support me, as for that Gao Peng, if he really encounters any danger, he can protect himself, I am already very satisfied.

Qin Ye smiled and said, "You mean Lao Han and Xiao Dongbei?" The two of them are not my subordinates, we are just cooperative. It was Lao Han who wanted to kill you, and the reason for killing you was your father, none of which had anything to do with me, what I care about is not those worldly enmities, but more important things. ”

"Are the two of them dead?" I asked.

Qin Ye poured himself a glass of wine, and then said to me: "Sit down and say, you have to believe me, I have no ill will towards you, otherwise I will kill you the moment you enter the door." Don't think I'm afraid to shoot here, as long as I want to, nothing can stop me. As he spoke, he pulled out a swarthy pistol from his waist and placed it on the table, and then continued: "However, since I am here to talk about cooperation, there is nothing wrong with being honest, you ask Lao Han and Xiao Dongbei if they are still alive, I can tell you." Xiao Dongbei is dead, in order to alleviate his pain, I gave him a happy one, Lao Han is not dead, but it is no different from death. ”

I thought about it, and finally sat down next to Qin Ye, in order to hide the fear in my heart, I pretended to take a big sip of tea on the table, and then asked: "Since you said that you don't care about worldly enmities, why do you want to cooperate with Lao Han?" ”

"It's very simple, in order to find that Miao village - and that old mountain village." Qin Ye said calmly.

"You are so powerful, you can't find that Miao Village?" I asked, somewhat unconvinced.

"We?" Qin Ye raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised by what I said, and asked, "When you say 'you', do you mean me and Ah Song?" ”

I laughed in my heart, fortunately, I have learned some about Nanwu, at this time, if he is trying to fool me, it will not be so simple. So, I pretended to be old and said, "Master Qin, you just said that it would be better to be honest, but it's not good for you to pretend to be stupid with me for a while." I've already learned a little bit about your Nanwu. ”

"Nanwu ......" Qin Ye touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "The word Nanwu is what that group of people call us, but in fact, the so-called Nanwu Group does not exist. ”

"Don't lie to anyone!" I said, "There are signs that the Nanwu Group does exist, and the tattoos on each of you are enough to illustrate the problem." ”

Qin Ye smiled and said, "I don't have any tattoos on my body, but strictly speaking, I am indeed a member of the Southern Witches. It's just that you imagine Nanwu too narrowly. ”

"What do you mean?"

"There is no unified leader of the so-called Southern Witches, just a name for a specific group of people, of course, these characters do not refer to any kind of wizards, but to those who have the same purpose." Qin Ye explained.

My heart moved, and I asked, "What does it have to do with that 'person'?" ”

"That's right," Qin Ye said, "for many, many years, we have been trying to find that 'person', before, we had no clue, until the appearance of your father, a genius, changed the situation. I have to say, I admire your father. ”

"Then your so-called cooperation is that I want to help you find that 'person'?" I asked.

"Yes, that's what you and your friends are for, isn't it?" Qin Ye said with a smile, "I can use my network to provide you with the most elite equipment, including all kinds of firearms and military supplies, after all, in that kind of poor mountain and bad water, the equipment bought in the market is unreliable after all." ”

I hesitated in my heart, although I knew that the purpose of Lu Dao and I was indeed the same, but I didn't know if the two of us had to do the same thing in the end. At my father's behest, he wanted me to find the "man" and kill him. So, what will Nanwu's people do after they find him or her? Do you kill him or her, or use him/her?

While I was hesitating, I suddenly heard a commotion downstairs, and then someone outside the door curtain shouted: "Fire, fire, fire!" ”

I glanced at Qin Ye and frowned, but after a while, thick smoke drifted in from outside the corridor?

What's going on? Why did you catch fire without warning? And there is such a big smoke?

After a while, the waiter rushed in and shouted at the two of us, "Come down quickly, you two, the kitchen downstairs is suddenly on fire, and many gas canisters are there, and there is a good chance that there will explode." ”

At this time, even the room was filled with smoke, choking my tears, so I followed Qin Ye towards the door.

I just walked out of the door two steps, suddenly a huge figure appeared in front of me, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be the middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat and black sunglasses that I had seen on the bus before.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man patted me on the shoulder and said, "Fan Peixi, come with me." ”
