Chapter 289: The Seventh in the World (1)
When the wine went down my throat, my heart warmed up.
This is a scene I once longed for, on the street late at night, drinking opposite a confidante and confiding in each other about the unexpected things in life.
Thousands of dollars are easy to get, but confidants are hard to find.
I hope that Lianchengbi is my confidant, but I know very well that we each have different labels, and it is not easy to stay together for a long time.
"Good wine. Lian Chengbi sighed.
The first time we touched the "glass", we each drank half a bowl, which shows that the wine of the two is also the same.
"In fact, more people will die in the city in the future. All achievements are prologue. I feel that in the future, every step forward of King Qin will have to pay the price of a river of blood. She added.
The rivers and lakes are also politics, and the struggle for control of the rivers and lakes by various forces today is no less than the struggle between the old government and the enemy in the past.
"If you know what you're fighting for, you avoid a lot of unexpected conflicts. Or, diverting the enemy's gaze, the same can be done. Ah Bi, you are a smart person, how to resolve this crisis, you don't need me to remind you, right?" I said.
What everyone is fighting for is nothing more than the mirror room, the divine water mirror, and the jade seal of the country. If the dust settles on these three things, there will be no focus for everyone to fight for, and there will be no need to fight anymore.
"Let's do it. Lian Chengbi raised the bowl with one hand.
Her pride was infectious, and I lifted the bowl, touched it with the bowl in her hand, and then threw my head up and drank it in one gulp.
A bottle of wine can pour two bowls, and we didn't eat a single bite of either dish, and we had already drunk half of it.
"You have to know that there are too many dead knots entangled, even if there are clairvoyance, Shunfeng ears, and Guanyin thousand hands, they can't be untied. The rivers and lakes are so big, the old heroes, the new heroes, the pawns of officialdom, and the foreign compradors, everyone wants to get a piece of this big casserole, what should we do? The simplest thing is to kill all the way through and cut off all those who disobey in two; the most complicated thing is to deter them through the politics of the upper echelons so that they will obediently make way for the Qin Wanghui. However, both of these things take time, months, six months, a year, two years, or even five years. King Qin couldn't wait, so he could only find another way. Liancheng sighed again and again.
Since there is no time to wait, then you can only rush through risks, which also increases the possibility of failure.
"I want to help you, but I can't help you. I said.
This is true, because Lianchengbi has always been sincere to me, and I will never take revenge.
"You can, it's up to you whether you want to or not. Lian Chengbi responded immediately.
"Tell me?" I said.
"At present, all the forces are giving you face, as long as you raise your arms, their leaders will more or less respond. You have the power to unite all the gangs together, reduce the internal friction of killing each other, and unite with the outside world. Lian Chengbi said.
Step by step, everyone pushed me to the position of leader, and even if there were thousands of difficulties, I had to carry it down alone, so that the city could return to peace and stability.
"If you want me to come forward, I don't have a second word. I said.
The stall owner began to nap again, and there was not even a figure in front of the rest of the stalls, and the boss was already asleep.
My commitment made Lianchengbi's decadence dissipate a lot, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
The second bowl was gone, and I went to the back of the stall to find the box of wine and took out two more bottles.
There are few thousand glasses of wine for confidants, and the amount of wine in Lianchengbi is excellent, and after drinking a bottle, only two cheeks are red.
"We can wait a little bitβ" Lian Chengbi said, pressing the back of my hand.
"Waiting for whom?" I asked.
"Wait for Bai Xiaosheng and my father. She replied, "At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng has entered the core hangar under the Cherry Blossom Villa, using his professional knowledge to dig out the secrets left by Yue Buqun. Yue Buqun was always too big, so he never thought that someone would be able to enter there. I guess a lot of precious documents are unencrypted and can be read directly...... You don't know, our cooperation with Bai Xiaosheng this time is really smooth, he is eager for a noble career, and in addition to the reputation of never falling on the rivers and lakes. These, we are trying to solve to ensure that this is a win-win, win-win-win game for our side, rest assured. β
In the interaction between people, there is no desire, but the cooperation between Bai Xiaosheng and King Qin is to show their abilities and take what they need. It can be said that he and King Qin are really greedy people to reach this alliance.
On the other hand, do I also have some kind of desire to come together with the King of Qin.
"What are you thinking?" Lian Chengbi stared at me deeply.
"I am praying for you, and I hope that your cooperation with Bai Xiaosheng can achieve a win-win situation. I said insincerely.
Lian Chengbi shook his head and smiled: "Your wishes are excellent, but I want to hear you tell the truth, not perfunctory." β
I also shook my head: "Ah Bi, the truth may not be good, so don't say it." β
She was about to open her mouth when the phone in her pocket rang.
"I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone first. Lian Chengbi stood up and walked into the shadows.
To the south, everything fell silent, and there was no shout of fighting.
The victory of the Qin King Club came very easily, thanks to my solo ride and Bai Xiaosheng's accurate calculations.
I'm in the light, he's in the dark, and the king of Qin is desperate to go around and attack, so he got this victory.
I am afraid that this kind of cooperation will never be again in the future.
The night is about to pass, and I have reason to believe that after King Qin will take Yue Buqun, he will gain a firm foothold in Jinan City, ahead of other forces.
"At least, I've done something for Lianchengbi, and she believed in me for once. I couldn't help but smile wryly.
I don't want to owe a debt to someone else, and after tonight, I can face her with a clear conscience.
Lian Chengbi came back from the shadows and handed me the phone: "Bai Xiaosheng wants to talk to you." β
I didn't answer, shook my head and refused: "Between us, there is nothing to say, please refuse for me." β
I have a natural sense of rejection for Bai Xiaosheng because he has successfully used me before. I suffered a loss once, and I didn't want to trust him again.
I respect every wise man, except those who are good at fooling others.
Lian Chengbi covered the microphone of the phone and discussed in a low voice: "It's better to answer the phone and chat first, he found something you are interested in and wants to show you goodwill." β
I shook my head coldly: "No, I don't want anything from him." β
Lian Chengbi sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll reject him for you." β
She walked back into the shadows to deal with the thorny problem.
I looked down at the bottle and silently waited for Lian Chengbi to finish the call.
"Bones, bones", a sound of wheels rolling, and a thin girl wearing a gray and white plaid trench coat appeared under the street lamp in the north. She was dragging a huge suitcase, and was raising her hand to brush the long hair that was messing around her forehead, and she crossed the intersection and walked this way.
The night is lonely, and her appearance is like a beam of light, sweeping through the dull night.
Although I haven't seen her facial features yet, her graceful posture has already made me feel good.
The local girls in Jinan are too simple and wooden, even if they wear European and American dresses, they can't become elegant and free, after all, what they lack is not money and age, but a kind of transcendent temperament after crossing the big rivers, looking at European and American customs, traveling thousands of miles, and reading thousands of books.
Now, the girl who walked into my field of vision happened to have all the good feelings related to temperament. So, every step she took this way made my heart beat and regained my youthful impulse.
I was tired, but she was like a sobering agent, refreshing me.
"This is it, it's hard to find. She stopped in front of the stall, knocked on the sign, and whispered to herself.
The boss woke up and stood up in a daze: "Miss, what do you need?"
"Give me the biggest bowl of braised egg beef noodles, I walked a long way to come here, and I was really hungry. She said.
Her voice is as beautiful as a silver bell, and it has the characteristic American flavor of those who have stayed abroad.
"Okay. The boss quickly agreed and lit the gas stove again.
The girl spun around and inadvertently met my eyes.
Her facial features were extremely delicate, especially her eyes, which shimmered like black grapes soaked in ice water.
I have seen many girls, but none of them are like her, as soon as they appeared, they were like a lightning bolt that suddenly crossed the night, illuminating my dark heart.
No one had ever amazed me so much, and at that moment, I even had a small gaffe and hurriedly lowered my head to avoid the dazzling lightning.
The girl sat down at the next table and gently leaned her suitcase against the edge of the table.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of her taking out a pack of tissues, pulling out one, and wiping it down on the top of the low table.
In the light and shadow of the fire, she sat calmly, not like sitting in front of a street food stall, but at an elegant round table in a big hotel.
I have no way of knowing where she came from, and I certainly have no reason to inquire about that.
"The night of the meeting in Pingshui is already very good. I sighed in my heart.
I have set foot in the rivers and lakes, the future is far away, the disasters are unknown, and I am getting farther and farther away from the urban life of ordinary people. So, there was no meeting point between me and this strange girl. This glimpse of lightning can only become a permanent memory for me.
Lian Chengbi walked back and put his phone on the table, his face a little ugly.
Bai Xiaosheng discovered Yue Buqun's secret hangar, which contained a total of thirty ** servers, containing too many secrets. He searched using 'Jinan' and 'Mirror Room' as keywords and found thousands of documents, almost every one of which could be turned into a news bomb. If you're interested, he'll come over later, and we can talk about it......" Lian Chengbi said.
I was noncommittal, just silent.
As a big city in the Central Plains, Jinan City naturally left a lot of secrets. However, secrets are secrets, and what I want is to solve the current crisis in the mirror room, rather than blindly burrowing into the pile of old papers and talking about them.
In the same way, if I hadn't entered the "Immortal Bird" formation alone tonight, with only Bai Xiaosheng, would he be able to solve all the problems?
Thousands of years ago, Confucius once said that if you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die. Learning and thinking, acting and thinking, are two lines that complement each other, and without one of them, we cannot succeed.
Now that Bai Xiaosheng has obtained the secret, what else can he do besides selling it to those involved in the rivers and lakes for profit?
"Tianshi, calm down, calm down the breath in your chest first, and then we plan other things. Lian Chengbi said again.
She could see the change in my mood, but this persuasion alone could not solve the root problem.
"I'm fine. I shook my head.
"But you know that something is wrong, and a fool can see it. Don't blame Bai Xiaosheng, all the faults are all on me and Qin Wanghui, is it okay?
I raised my hand to interrupt Lian Chengbi's words: "Ah Bi, I said, I'm calm, I just don't want to have any contact with Bai Xiaosheng. He's a friend of King Qin, not mine, and now I want to be alone, is that okay?"
Lian Chengbi was silent, took out two hundred-dollar bills from his pocket, and pressed them under the wine bowl.
The noodles at the next table came, and the aroma wafted in the wind, which made me a little distracted.
"We ...... There was a little misunderstanding between us, and I think we all need to be calm. Now, I went back to the Deep and Shallow Mansion and thought about it behind closed doors. If you need me to do anything, just call or go straight to the front desk of the building. I've arranged the Presidential Suite for you, and I hope you'll get a good night's sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow morning and everything will be back in order. You're only responsible for drinking and sleeping, and the rest of the work will be done in a step-by-step manner. Lian Chengbi stood up, nodded to me, and walked south.
