I always linger in my mind about the back of Lao Tan.
When I entered the door, Lao Tan had his back to me, and the whole person was squatting on the ground, although the outline was still the old Tan I knew, but there was always something in his back that I couldn't tell clearly.
Lonely and self-appreciative, unruly, murderous, and isolated from the world......
Words kept flashing and disappearing in my mind, but none of them could describe the back of Lao Tan in front of me.
And when Lao Tan turned around, I felt as if I had never known Lao Tan at all.
There was a sharp gaze like a falcon in those eyes, and the perseverance on that face was almost better than that of King Wu in Suzhou City. Such a person squatting in front of me gave me an overwhelming impact.
"Old Tan, how are you ...... Smoking here? I asked a little nervously, because I always felt that Lao Tan was sitting here with a bad face, did it mean that something had happened to my master.
Zheng Shihuan was also very nervous, he was much more straightforward than me, and asked directly: "Grandpa...... Where's my grandfather? โ
Lao Tan said in a low voice: "You two rest assured, Mr. Zheng is not as fragile as you two imagined, he has seen more of the world than you, and Chang Baxian's little tricks are not enough to threaten his life." โ
Hearing this, I finally calmed down, and Zheng Shihuan also breathed a long sigh of relief: "Where is the grandfather now?" โ
Lao Tan looked up at it and said, "It's on it, if you want to go and see, you can go to him now." โ
Zheng Shihuan hurriedly walked upstairs without hesitation at all.
But I didn't rush up, because I smelled a rather pungent smell in the courtyard, which was supposed to be blood, and if nothing else, human blood.
After Zheng Shihuan went upstairs, I asked Lao Tan in a low voice: "Lao Tan, where is Huang Hua?" โ
Lao Tan smiled, with a kind of eerie spicy smile in his smile. He smoked lightly, took two puffs before smiling and said: "I have a principle, that is, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, if people offend me, ......"
Speaking of this, his eyes widened slightly: "Then I won't let them even have a chance to regret it." โ
He said, his eyes glancing quietly behind the attic. I followed his gaze and saw a stream of blood slowly flowing from behind the attic.
I walked forward, and by the time I was halfway there, I could see the black-rimmed eyes of Huang Hua, who had been trampled to pieces on the ground. And it is conceivable whose blood flow is, Huang Hua, who offended Lao Tan, has been killed.
Behind the attic was Huang Hua's corpse, and the death was so tragic that I couldn't even tell what kind of murder weapon Lao Tan used to kill him. From this point of view, Mo Fei, who was killed in the tomb by Lao Tan's black hands, was a lucky person, and being able to be directly stabbed to death by Lao Tan was obviously the happiest way to die.
Lao Tan stood behind, still looking at me calmly, he didn't say anything, he didn't introduce the battle process and killing methods. This kind of person is often the most feared and admirable, because for him, whether it is to see through the conspiracy of his opponent or to kill and bloodletize, it is the most common thing, and he does not feel excited, because he feels that it is not difficult for him to accomplish these things.
Invisible pretending is the most deadly.
This sentence is not wrong at all, and Lao Tan is such a person, such a terrifying and unfathomable person.
Lao Tan is indeed a fierce man, a terrifying fierce man.
"Old Tan?" I slowly pulled out a cigarette and smoked it like Lao Tan.
"How?" Old Tan looked up at me, and his face gradually regained the kind smile he had before. And I knew the smile was just a disguise for him.
"Are you the Night General?" I thought about it again and again, and finally decided to ask.
Lao Tan listened to this question and did not react. He was still holding a cigarette, facing me on his side, standing under the eaves like a lifeless statue.
After a while, he asked, "Am I like?" โ
"You're like." I nodded: "If you weren't General Night, I can't think of anyone else in the underground world of Nanjing who has the skill and courage of you, as well as the inexplicable hatred between you and Chang Baxian." โ
Lao Tan didn't speak, just smoked silently.
And I asked the question that had been bothering me for a long time: "It's just that according to everyone's rumors, General Night should be a middle-aged man about fifty years old now, I'm sorry, this sentence may be a bit offensive, but you look at least over the age of six......"
Lao Tan suddenly threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, stepped on it gently, and exhaled a long breath.
"Yes, I do look like I'm over the age of six......" Lao Tan smiled and said slowly: "I was born in the spring of 70, in fact, I am only 46 years old this year. When I was 21 years old, I became famous in Jinling City, and for nearly 30 years since then, there is not a single person in the underground world of Nanjing City who has not heard my name......"
Speaking of this, Lao Tan's body moved and turned to me: "Three years ago, I met a young heavenly master in the city who had just entered the industry, this kid's name is Chang Zhi, he looks upright, and his heart is higher than the sky. I always felt that I could see the shadow of my youth in him, because I used to be like him, confused, lost, afraid that I would not find a direction in the future, and as soon as my heart softened, I took him as my apprentice...... A year has passed in the blink of an eye. This kid was very gifted and intelligent, and he quickly learned a lot of tricks from me. Winter is coming to spring, my birthday is approaching, but I didn't expect this child to secretly plan a shocking conspiracy......"
Speaking of this, Lao Tan's face gradually turned blue, and the whole person seemed to be tired in an instant.
"At my birthday banquet two years ago, Chang Zhi gave me a big gift with almost half of his Xuanmen colleagues in Nanjing, and at the birthday banquet, he took the lead in counting the sins I had committed over the years. Hehe...... are all walking on the rivers and lakes, who can use a pair of clean hands to win the status that appears? Don't say it's me, even if it's those famous and decent people on the so-called righteous path, how many of them are clean and have a clear conscience? However, dirty things are destined to be dirty things, no one will blame them when they are hidden in the dark, but they are pointed out by thousands of people when they are put on the surface...... After all, I still couldn't turn the tide, and I lost at the hands of my most trusted apprentice......"
Speaking of this, Lao Tan's face became even more haggard, and the whole person seemed to be much older.
He let out a long sigh and looked at me with a wry smile, his sideburns pale in the moonlight, like the enduring snow on the Great Wall of Saibei.
"It was my 44th birthday, and I was still in the prime of life. However, in just one night, I became what I am now, not to mention you, even my friends in the city of Nanjing, who I usually know, can no longer recognize me...... 40 years old, 60 years old...... Twenty years of aging only took overnight for me...... But I was also a blessing in disguise, and when I fled Jinling City the next morning, no one recognized me as the night general who was still showing off his might yesterday......"
Old Tan, or rather, General Night, gradually became rickety again after saying these words, and he still looked like the strange old man I knew the other day.
However, I dare not underestimate this ruthless man now, because I know that although he has suffered a fatal blow, which even changed his appearance overnight, his heart is still the night general who is rampant in Nanjing.
Instead of his outward decay, on the contrary, he withstood the fatal blow, which in turn made him tougher and stronger.
Standing in front of me now, the old man who seems to be at a loss, decadent and passive, is instead an immortal hero hidden under a fragile appearance.
Although it hasn't happened yet, I can predict that Nanjing City will still be his sooner or later, and even if Chang Baxian has the means, he is just a supporting role in the legendary life of General Night after all.
And Zheng Shihuan and I may become the key players for General Night to recapture the city of Nanjing. Although the two of us may be destined to become supporting characters, as long as we don't become pawns, I still have a good reason to see General Night regain his strength and succeed in revenge......
At this moment, there was a sound of people on the mountain road, and I looked up and saw that the panda with Lao Jiang and Master Hanguang was rushing towards us. It's just that I don't know if Zhuang Chu is alive or dead now, and if he is dead, where is the body......
