The legendary Yan Shisanshao sat in a splendid room, with bookshelves behind him, on which were not only rows full of hardcover history books, but also gold, jade, and bronze antiques. The bookshelf is all the way to the roof, and the top layers are all sabers, Tang knives, and ancient swords placed horizontally on the knife stand, which looks both ancient and majestic.

Yan Tuya sat behind a golden bookcase, wearing a golden suit, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his hair was neatly combed and shiny.

He was young, in his early twenties, but he had a golden pipe in his mouth, and the tobacco from the pipe was faintly green smoke.

The appearance of such a "golden" person on my mobile phone really put a lot of pressure on me, because the background he saw me must be a tattered fritter shop, and there were fried dough sticks, oil swirls, tofu brains and other snacks on the low wooden table that could not be put on the table.

His "high" is in stark contrast to my "low", which can be seen in the picture.

"Mr. Xia really wants to meet you, but I know that you are very busy, working day and night, and need a good rest. So, I'll ask you two to have a video call first, and if you can't explain the problem, I'll find a chance to meet and talk. Bai Fenfang introduced from it.

In the face of the video, she seemed very low-key and cautious, so much so that she felt that she was deliberately elevating Yan Shisanshao's status.

This feeling disturbs me because it doesn't feel like a normal master-servant relationship, it's extremely contrived and unnatural.

In my opinion, if Bai Fenfang was a loyal minister of the Yan Palace, then she would naturally communicate with her master, instead of the silent and fearful posture she has now.

Similarly, if Yan Shisan Shao was a good master, he would not force his subordinates to be as humble as a dog.

A good master wants a "dog" that is easy-going on the surface and loyal in his bones, and only by making this gesture of a polite corporal will more "dogs" flock to chase after him.

Yan Shisan Shao stared at the screen and asked in authentic Beijing dialect: "Xia Shi, what's the use of you seeing me? If you want money, I can give you money; if you want people, I will immediately order Bai Fenfang to mobilize the human resources in the entire Shandong Province to you." The rest is to ask you to work as hard as Yagami Shogun and serve the Yanwang Mansion. Everyone can see the status of the Yagami generals in the rivers and lakes, as long as you work hard, I promise to fill a position for you in the Yagami generals. As you know, the sword god is dead, and there is an empty place in the Yagami general......"

Looking at the way he looks, giving me a name is already the greatest reward, and I should immediately kneel and kowtow and thank you for a thousand thanks.

I looked at Bai Fenfang, and Bai Fenfang had lowered her head.

"Thank you, but I have something else to ask. I said.

"Speak. Yan Thirteen Shao responded arrogantly.

None of these things are of concern to me, and I just want to ask one thing now, that is, "Can the Thirteen Young Men Stop?" Don't mess with these ordinary people in Shandong, let the rivers and lakes calm down. Your brain-eating skills are so powerful that you almost caught me. Now, let's get it done, go back to where you came from, and don't be too ambitious and stretch your hand too far. ”

My words were unexpected, and he shook his head frequently as I spoke.

"Haha, you said it very lightly, do you know how hard I practice the Brain Eating Technique? I want everyone in the family to know, especially the eldest brother Yan Gexing, that he is not my idol, what they can do, I can also do, and do it better than them. Yan Tuya sneered.

We finally talked about Yan Gexing, which is the big man of Yan Wangfu, and it is a high-end character that cannot be avoided. If you talk about cooperation with Yan Wangfu, it is impossible not to talk about Yan Gexing.

When I first came into contact, I took Yan Ge's behavior as an example, hoping that in the future, like him, I would stand on the rivers and lakes of Jinan, and have my own one-acre and three-point land, which could be developed for a long time and be in a good way.

Later, in contact with Chu Chu, I gradually realized that there is no affection on the rivers and lakes, only interests.

It wasn't until I entered the mirror room that the cruelest side of the rivers and lakes slowly unfolded in front of my eyes, and I didn't realize that if I learned from Yan Gexing, it was really a blind leaf, and I couldn't see the forest.

In the vast rivers and lakes and in the long sea of people, Yan Gexing is only a big man in the Yan Wangfu, but he is not a big man in the rivers and lakes and the world at all. Following his example will only limit my own future.

So, now, I appreciate Yan Gexing, but I don't feel that I have to learn from him in the future.

"Thirteen Shao, let it go, Jinan is the place where I lived and grew up, if there is any more bloody incident, I will have to take action. I said.

For an arrogant and arrogant person like Yan Shisanshao, no matter how much euphemism he says, he will only treat it as a fart.

"What are you?Summer Stone, if it weren't for Yagami to highly respect you, I wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense with you here. People like you, I've seen too much, I want money and maintain a pitiful face, I want to be a ** and want to set up a memorial arch, hehehehe...... Asking you to join Yagami is already a big face, or Bai Fenfang repeatedly begged me, and I reluctantly agreed. Since you don't like it, then continue to be a submissive citizen who is slaughtered by others. Remember, never come to me. "Yan Shisanshao's temper is also very hot, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will cut me off.

I didn't want to endure it any longer, so I said word by word to the mobile phone screen: "Jinan people will never be slaughtered, how capable you are, just let the horse come." Yanwangfu is a strong dragon in the capital, but this is the territory of Jinan people. ”

Yan Shisan took a heavy puff of his cigarette, then slowly exhaled it, wrapping his upper body in the light blue smoke.

"The territory of the people of Jinan? the world and the rivers and lakes, there has been no owner in ancient times, whoever is stronger, this is whose territory. You are a small obedient citizen, you dare to demarcate territory in front of the Yan Wangfu, who gave you the courage to give? You remember to the master, if it weren't for many people to intercede, you would have been dead on the street a long time ago. I give face to the older generation, so I don't bother to pay attention to you, if you are not interested, you will soon regret why you have so many tongues...... Okay, okay, okay, don't talk nonsense with you, my time is precious, and I can take a hundred lives for an ignorant rat like you in a second-"

Bai Fenfang didn't speak again, and let Yan Shisanshao hang up the phone.

Someone in the hall looked up at us, then hurriedly finished their meals, pushed open their bowls and left.

The people of Jinan have seen the world and know what can be watched and what should be avoided.

I suddenly have a sense of sadness in my heart, in fact, our current society has really reached the point of "nothing to do with yourself, hang high", everyone knows how to protect themselves, and if there is something to do, they will not make more trouble for themselves.

"You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. I remembered Mr. Lu Xun's famous saying.

Of course, I can also pretend to be asleep, take the gold bars and the girls around me to leave Jinan, and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, birds and flowers to spend my life in peace, regardless of the world.

It is easiest to protect oneself, as the First and Second World Wars have long demonstrated. Those hot-blooded men who went to the battlefield one after another fell, but the people who curled up in the rear and made promises became the reapers of the merits after the war, taking the great rivers and mountains and high-ranking official titles in their pockets, and then standing on the temple with a high-sounding crown.

What kind of person should I be? What kind of person should Jinan people be today? What kind of person should young people in Jinan be today? Aren't these questions worth pondering repeatedly?

Everyone left, and only the owner, the helper, and me were left in the small shop.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to get you in trouble?" I asked.

Bai Fenfang shook her head: "It's okay, I'm used to it, the temperament of the thirteen young people is like this." You want to see him, and you have seen him, and I owe you nothing. ”

"yes, you really don't owe me anything. I nodded.

We ate with our heads bowed, each full of thoughts.

Obviously, Yan Tuya will definitely go his own way, ignoring the opinions of others.

Now, there is only one last way left in front of me, to report all the actions of the Yan Wangfu in Jinan to Bai Dao, and with the help of official forces, drive them all back. This is an almost scoundrel approach, after all, there has been an unwritten saying since the Han and Tang Dynasties, people in the rivers and lakes do things according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and people in the white road do things according to the rules of the white road, and the two cannot be confused.

"Mr. Xia, will you take some kind of action to leverage Bai Dao next?" Bai Fenfang asked.

I shook my head: "As a last resort, I will definitely not report Yan Thirteen Shao." That's not interesting, with the strength of your Yanwang Mansion, even if there is a disturbance, you can quickly settle it. I can only say, Bai Huashen, if you kill people and eat your brains in Jinan City, I will no longer be able to retreat. ”

Bai Fenfang frowned: "What's this...... It's more difficult, after all, we are just subordinates, and what the master wants to do is not discussed with us at all. However, I promise you that if the Thirteen Young Men have any illegal actions, I will contact you as soon as possible. ”

She put away her phone and took out a tissue to wipe her mouth.

"If the Yanwang Mansion does something in Jinan City, the situation will become quite troublesome. You should know that Jinan City is an important place between the north and the south, and there are many masters lurking here, most of whom Bai Dao has not mastered. At that time, Yan Wangfu committed the anger of the public, and he was afraid that there would be more and more auspiciousness, which was not something that Yan Shisanshao could deal with at all. "I kindly admonished.

Bai Fenfang smiled and stood up: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your morning, I ate well." Let's say goodbye, I'll go back to the whip to the alley, you go back to your residence, and everyone can contact us at any time. ”

"I haven't seen Yan Thirteen yet?" I said.

Bai Fenfang shook her head: "It's better not to see him, you can't stand his temper." ”

After saying that, she walked out of the door of the fritter shop.

A black SUV drove up, the door opened automatically, Bai Fragrance got into the car, and the dust was gone.

The red sleeves were already waiting at the corner of the street, and when they saw Bai Fenxiang's car leaving, they walked over quickly.

"Can't borrow people?" I asked.

Red Sleeves nodded frustratedly: "If the master doesn't come, no matter how many mediocre hands there are, he is just a man of wine bags and rice bags." Some people want it, they don't give it, and what they give is a young teenager and is worthless. ”

I nodded, "Okay, I got it." But don't worry, I'm already thinking of a way. ”

"Overnight, there was no gain, and it was in vain. Red Sleeves sighed softly.

We stood in the flow of people, bathed in the sunshine of a new day in Jinan City, and each other had a kind of blank helplessness on our faces.

"The beggars are done. Red Sleeves said again.

"It's the beggars in Jinan who are finished. I corrected her.

"I can't help it now. Red Sleeves smiled wryly.

I raised my hand and rubbed my face vigorously, trying to calm down and judge the current situation.

Yanwangfu is powerful, this is obvious, but I can think that no one power in the world can dominate, just like no company can eat all the profits of the world. For example, if you have Coca-Cola, you have Pepsi, if you have Wal-Mart, you will have Carrefour, if you have Google, you will have Baidu, and if you have the United States of America, you will have the Russian Empire.

The heroes of the world are definitely twins, and it is impossible to let one person dominate the country.

Of course, Qin Shi Huang is an exception, he borrowed the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, Tiange Tianjia to quickly annex the Six Kingdoms, and in the blink of an eye, he lost power and even everything.

He violated the laws of human nature, so there were great ups and downs, and finally became a short-lived bubble in the history of China's feudal society.

Having said that, the Yan Wangfu is arrogant, and there will definitely be other forces waiting for the opportunity to move, secretly hiding deadly moves, and will quietly insert a knife from behind the Yanwang Mansion at a critical moment.

Therefore, I will always have a chance, as long as I don't admit defeat, don't fall, don't die, and sharpen my sword for ten years, I can always turn over.

"Don't think about it, go upstairs. I said.

We re-entered the small hotel, and the girl at the front desk quickly got up and bowed tremblingly: "Hello two, the third floor has been taken down by your friends, live as you like, use it as you like, if you have any orders, call me at any time." ”

"Good. Redsleeves responded with one word.

The little girl quickly bent down, shrank behind the counter, and said no more.

Red Sleeves and I walked upstairs slowly, and saw that the floor and stairs had just been cleaned, and even the carpet in the foyer on the third floor had been replaced with new ones.

"Mr. Xia, I'm a little discouraged. Red Sleeves said unabashedly.

She sighed as she spoke, and as soon as she walked into the door of 3o1, she sat down on the sand with a wry smile of frustration on her face.

"I had a video call with the Thirteen Young Men of the Yan Palace, and if my judgment is correct, he must be hiding in the underground secret room of the Whip Finger Lane Cafe for now. He has the 'Brain-Eating Technique', and you have the 'Hysteria Technique'—"

Redsleeves shook his head and interrupted me: "What's the use of that? Not only does he have the 'Brain-Eating Technique', but also the masters of the Yagami Generals and dozens or even hundreds of servants to go down? We have nothing, only you and me." Do you know? When I couldn't borrow soldiers from the huge city of Jinan, I really panicked, feeling that I had been abandoned by the whole world, and I didn't even have any backing. ”

I understand her feelings, she has always felt that she belongs to a member of the beggar gang, and she can mobilize hundreds of people at any time, and she is powerful and invincible. Just like in the battle of Sakura Villa, because of the large number of people under her command, she felt that she was on an equal footing with Qin Wanghui and Bai Xiaosheng, and she still had the strength to protect her sister Bing'er.

Now, she has nothing, no soldiers, no guns, and a bare pole.

"If the 'brain-eating technique' is rampant, you and me, all the masters of the rivers and lakes in Jinan will suffer, and they will all become brainless dead people, or become servants of the Yanwang Mansion with broken brains. Are you willing to do that? With the knives on our necks, do we still have a choice? I understand that you are disappointed that you can't borrow soldiers, but that's not a reason to be decadent. If you are decadent, you will be crippled, you will die, and you will become a third-class citizen in this world. I whispered.

"I'm tired. Redsleeve slowly closed his eyes.

I looked at her, and the sadness in my heart grew heavier.

The enemy's iron cavalry has knocked on the level, and the butcher's knife has been sharpened enough to be able to kill hundreds or thousands of people in the slaughter of the city. At this time, no one can say "tired, tired, unable to crawl".

Only by fighting to the death can we not die.

I'd rather die in battle than die.

That's what I wanted to tell Redsleeves the most at the moment, but I didn't say a word, just looked at her in silence.

Chinese often say that when the sky falls, there will be tall people on top. I'm not tall, but I have to be the tall guy who stands up to the sky.

It's not that I don't have a choice, but I choose the good and stubborn, and I have chosen the path of life, and I will go all the way to the end until I tear up all the haze that shrouds Jinan City.

The surname Xia comes from the ancient Xia Dynasty, since Di Yao, Di Shun, and Di Yu, it has created the ancient glorious country of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty.

I am the last and only descendant of the Xia family, and only by fighting a way and cultivating an acre of land in the barbaric land where no grass grows like the ancestors of the Xia family, can I be worthy of the word "Xia" in the household registration book.

"Sleep, I'll go to Whip Finger Alley. I said.

Redsleeves rolled over tiredly, curled up in the sand, and raised his arms up to cover his face and ears.

She was really scared, she didn't want to see, she didn't want to listen, she didn't want to speak, she was like an ostrich that buried her head in the sand, her body exposed, covered her ears and stole the bell, and let others slaughter her.

"You can sleep in peace, and when you wake up, the situation outside will be different. I said calmly.
